BHO has fundamentally changed America. America has been screwed up since Bush took office. There is no leadership. The leadership is behind the scenes pulling all the money strings. Look, the world is ruled by a gang of rich elitist thugs whose only interest are making money. Political affiliations have little to do with it. The person who is allowed to make money, keep money has all to do with it. Try getting into that club with your measly corp salary... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gravitymaster 0 #4 September 12, 2013 No..no.. You are just not smart enough to see O's brilliance. He had all this planned from the beginning. He knew that by threatening to bomb Syria, that Putin would have to step up and negotiate an alternative. This way O gets to look tough and at the same time look conciliatory. Pure genius on his part. Too bad you and others lack the intellect to understand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyrad 0 #8 September 12, 2013 Vladimir Putin is a clever and dangerous man who in this instance has made Obama look like a prize chump. I notice he released this in time for publication on 9/11 the exact time when America reflects on the wars that were a direct consequence of that terrible day. America appears weak and Obama looks weak and indecisive, he's painted himself into a corner and now Putin has taken the reins in the international area and also the initiative in the PR war. A dangerous man indeed. Some here have said that Putin 'owns' Obama, well in time that may be so, the USA is on a downward spiral and its only a matter of time before the dollar crashes.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

turtlespeed 212 #12 September 12, 2013 SkyradHey turtle, not sure what you mean by the 'Entitlement Mentality' do you mean the entitlement to be the world police? No. It used to be that Americans worked for their food, not depending on the government to issue it to them. The US prints money willy nilly so that we can afford to feed the entitlement mentality. The US is going to take a dive - soon.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yoink 321 #19 September 12, 2013 Skyrad. the USA is on a downward spiral and its only a matter of time before the dollar crashes. What are you basing that fiction on? The increasing number of jobs, better than expected economic growth and increased international trade? I'm not saying the US is great by any standards, but your statement is just ridiculous. You should write for The Sun with that level of fantasy and hyperbole. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #20 September 12, 2013 I agree a lot with Skyrad. Putin's letter was written toward an American audience. And he told America what plenty in America have spent decades telling America. The message of Putin resounds heavily: The era of American exceptionalism is gone. "I would rather disagree with a case he made on American exceptionalism, stating that the United States' policy is 'what makes America different. It's what makes us exceptional'. It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation." This is the ultimate result of the "one world" philosphy. America is no better than anyone else. We are all passengers on spaceship earth. Recall the leftist philosophy. Multiculturalism - Western Civ is no better than any other. American culture shall yield to other influences. America's strong military? How dare we have one! Welfare? No need to succeed. Success? Those damned wealthy must be taxed more and more. Education? No need. Raise the minimum wage. Want a higher education? Go into debt and get taxed at a higher rate for daring to be better. Putin struck a chord. With the left and right. He told Americans what we wanted to hear. What we've been trained to hear. The days of American exceptionalism are over. They are done. And we've killed it by ourselves. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not want to believe your analysis. I pray I can maintain the fantasy dream of the American way of life that I was taught both by my family and my education. I am referring to my education prior to university. But, I fear you are right on target. We have a small enclave of believers here in the north GA mountains. Hopefully, there are other enclaves throughout the U.S.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
