    Obama's 'Fairness' Vision Would Bankrupt Nation

    To be polite, most of the comments Obama makes these days about the economy, taxes and, especially, "fairness" stretch all credibility. Hearing the large number of outright falsehoods and partial truths he uses to support his argument, it's impossible not to believe it's simply a ploy to get votes from those who envy the rich and the successful.

    A full unpacking of Obama's whoppers would require a much larger space than we have here. Here are just a few examples:

    "I believe the free market is the greatest force for economic progress in human history."
    If he believed that, he would not have signed the $787 billion stimulus bill. He wouldn't have imposed onerous new green regulations on businesses. He wouldn't have taken over the auto and banking industries.

    Nor would he seek massive new tax hikes on businesses, or use the frightening power of government — including thousands of new IRS agents to enforce ObamaCare — to pursue his utopian vision of "fairness."

    If Obama truly believed in the free market, he'd eliminate Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the EPA, the Energy Department and many other federal departments and agencies that distort free markets. He would roll back thousands of costly, ineffective regulations that estimates say cost the U.S. $1.8 trillion a year.

    I gotta admit, the plan and implementation of the Left's grand scheme has been brilliant. First, make sure to dumb down the population by destroying real education and replacing it with feel-goodism such as "there's no right or wrong answer" and "Johnny has two daddies". Second, spout bullshit and lies that your pre-conditioned automatons will swallow without challenge.

    I'd bet serious money that at least 90% of the people who will vote for Obama this November can't name the sitting vice president, their congressman, and one of their two senators. What does that tell you? It tells me that the electorate is unfit to govern themselves and Obama should be re-elected. We deserve nothing better. In fact, he should be installed as life-time dictator.

    Ok... you ignorant ass. Spare us your mindless republicanazi bullshit.

    The EPA is designed to keep business scum like yourself from ruining the environment; Freddie Mack, Sallie/Fannie Mae allow poor people to go to college... this is important and opinions to the contrary are usually those of disgusting elitist asshats who need to shut their holes.

    I know you rightist asshats hate having to be fair, honest, or etiquitable, because, as we all know, the right is the most dishonest part of the government.

    Feel free to cease your bullshit propaganda.

    Wow, you're in rare form. You rarely get that many of your favorite buzzwords into one post. Unreal.
    The ambassador died, Obama lied.

    Liberalism is the sole contributor to the decline of the nation.

    I wouldn't say the sole contributor, but definitely the primary contributor.

    You are from the single most corrupt state in the south. The republislime in your state are about to face federal justice for violating federal law in terms of funding healthcare.

    Soon... more federal laws will be created to make sure the useless assbags in Texas cannot violate any law they choose based on their backwards southern bible thumpary.

    You need to take a long walk. There's a short pier right around the corner. If it's too far, you can take the short bus to get there.

    I can't take anyone seriously who believes that the EPA should just be abolished.
    I mean, really? Clean water is just for pussies?

    Do it at the state and local level. Get the feds out of the environment.

    So states can compete with each other for the most polluted water? Because the jobs go to the places where they can dump pollutants in rivers, lakes, etc most cheaply?

    Why are you convinced that anyone wants polluted water? Or that the feds are the only ones capable of keeping it from happening?
