DISTRACTER-IN-CHIEF

I get so dang tired of this administration trying to shift everybody's attention away from their large failures onto minor squabbles. And the cursed media let them get away with it! Grumble, grumble.......But I Do appreciate your visiting me even though my mood is sour lol...........stan

I know that most outside the U.S. don't keep up with what's happening here so such a post as this is all too easily ignore . Thank you for not doing so..........stan

"PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!"..........I fear we might all be in OZ now. Appreciate the time to visit and comment..........stan

When he was first elected (in the first election in which I didn't vote in 30 years) I had hope that he would do what needed to be done. Instead, in the middle of a near depression he decided that a stimulus to the unions and gov't employees which cost about 1 TRILLION dollars of borrowed money and an unpopular and ill conceived health care bill was what was needed. And his foreign policy pretty much speaks for itself. Reminds me of Chamberlain. The only thing that can be said for him is that he makes Jimmy Carter look good...........stan

The constitution is a living document which allows for amending as times change thus the time in which it was written has little to do with its present day relevance. And it Nowhere guarantees freedom From religion but Does guarantee freedom Of religion and only forbids the government from establishing a particular official religion. And it's doing a pretty good job because I don't think anybody is required to do anything ,as far as religion goes, at any time or place. And No religion has been banned. Indeed even Satanism and atheism is tolerated.
As to tea partiers and libertarians, well there are extremists within each of these organizations just as there are extremists within the progressive and democrat organizations. Again, the constitution allows room for this . I guess it was foreseen that extremist groups tend to offset each other.

I suspect you don't like the last line because you support the present occupant of the white house. But he Is the leader of the executive branch of government which is charged with "faithfully assuring" that the laws passed by congress are enforced. As the head, it is His responsibility when his appointees break laws. It is Not his duty or even in his assigned duties to unilaterally change laws. He has failed in both instances. The only reason he was re-elected was because the media failed to disclose all the lies he told the public before the election. Lying to the American people is an impeachable offense but I doubt our legislators will ever push for it because the media would accuse them of racism. Hopefully he will be rendered irrelevant this November and will no longer be able to continue doing harm to our country............stan
