Their patriotism could indeed be questioned. But to simply adopt a rule that somebody who supports Obama cannot question the patriotism of others is simply absurd.

He's right, Obama voters patriotism should not be questioned. On the other hand, their intellect is certainly fair game.

That is just as absurd.

I have watched Republican after Republican praise him for being a model of a great president. I will not disclose my personal views of Reagan at this time I am just curious of your views.

So-so. As far as economic and foreign policy goes, quite a few of the things he did "wrong" were acceptable in their own time and could have been corrected later, but weren't. Much like Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid, at a certain point the people who inherit it also inherit responsibility to make it keep working.

I'd ask you why, but I don't care and I doubt the answer will be enlightening. Obama has had less control over the events of his presidency than any president since Hoover. Like taking over for someone else's losing chess game, the moves you make are pretty irrelevant; unless an outside factor (in chess, the mistake of your opponent) radically alters the situation, you can at best delay your loss. In a sense, it doesn't matter whether Obama won or lost the election, because all the moves he has had to make (mediocre though most of them were in execution and results) were obvious given the obstacles he has encountered.

Así-así.

I found some of his comments to be overly theocratic.

Wouldn't you have opposed some of his more religiously conservative views? (assuming that you're a civil libertarian as well as an economic one)

Who do you propose we replace him with? It does no good to replace the president with someone who is even less competent for the job.

its hard to find someone less competent. Any of the three major GOP contenders are far more competent
 
^ I find that none of them are competent (Obama included). They're all just .... idiots, to be frank.



Cthulhu 2012.


EDIT: To be honest, I find that Ron Paul is the most competent out of all of them. I don't support him, though, because our politics are too different.

Given that he was president during a major recession (which for some reason is rarely acknowledged) and may have committed high treason he couldn't of been the near godlike figure that he is often hailed as. I also can't stand his starry-eyed schoolboy view of America. But there have been much worse presidents, such as Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon, and my favorite George W. Bush.

LBJ got tossed into a **** hole, Nixon despite his desire for power at all costs was not bad for the nation, Bush well the guy was inept in that position.
