Not trying to step on any toes.

Got to agree with CCBear on this one.

Edit: Oops, Sometimes I feel like I'm in another country though :)

Always be concerned when anyone turns an issue into something completely black & white like the guy in that video… nothing is ever that simple… but sheeple like simple..

America is a failure...that's why I come here. There is hope is those less fortunate and eager to learn not ruled by corporate.

He makes some legitimate points, but like tom77 said, it's not quite so black & white. I'll bet if you follow the source, it is some well connected corporate funded lobbyists. I don't see business as the enemy, and they are entitled, no obligated to earn money for their share holders, but they do have a moral obligation to not destroy the planet while earning those profits.

That's about the stupidest thing said. America hasn't failed. People, in the form of politicians have failed America. We're not different than other countries in that we have a group of people that want handouts and they are pandered to by politicians. Failure to follow the constitution has allowed these things to happen.

The one thing that separates us from most other countries is that we have the second amendment and a large part of the population is armed to the teeth.

Dot get me wrong, our economy will have issues because we spend way too much money. It will be ugly. But it will get better.

They fall in both colors but the ones being pandered to the most right now happen to be voting blue. I hate both political parties equally. That's not true. I hate red more but the blue aren't far behind. Neither party cares about the people or the country and that is where our problems center.
