I would like to apologize for my previous comment. I meant to state that he has had an interview with Bret Baier, not Brit Hume. I typed Brit Hume because I was rereading your comment while typing my reply.

Are you referring to percentage or total vote count? Based on the percentage that he has received, he was far from receiving more votes than any other president in U.S. history. It is also important to note that no individual, even Fred, stated that Obama followed Karl Marx’ philosophies directly. Karl Marx believed in a state of what he referred to as “pure communism.” It is quite clear that Obama supports some of the ideologies presented by Karl Marx. However, I find it quite difficult to take the economic views of someone who was handed money their entire life seriously. Karl Marx purposed economic ideals, but he was handed wealth and inherited further wealth. He knew little about how an economy or a society functions, but other equally ignorant people liked what he had to say. They did not enjoy their lives and wanted something more, so they followed the inaccurate ramblings of someone who promised them more. There are numerous similarities between those that supported Karl Marx and those that support Obama now. He is a man that knows little about economics, foreign affairs, health-care, or the basic infrastructures of our society, and yet people swoon over him and act as if he will fix all of our problems. How can a man with no knowledge have the answers to our problems?

I’ve taken multiple history courses, but the teachings that occur within public schools and state universities is quite inadequate. McCarthyism is only similar to the claims of communist followings. However, that is where the similarities stop. Marxism and communism are not seen in the same light today as they were in the 1940s and 1950s. That being said, it is quite pathetic to shrug something off with such a cued comparison. That is a poor habit to get into for a professor or teacher. You are ignoring political stance and purposed legislation simply by mentioning McCarthy, but that does not take away from what Obama suggested during his campaign trail and the legislation that he has passed since election day. His actions suggest that he does follow a Marxist style of governing, which is independent of Joseph McCarthy and McCarthyism. You may call it red baiting, but that is simply you dodging the reality of Obama and the path that he has chosen.

I am somewhat cynical as well; however, I do have some faith in the American people and our ability to get onto the right track. My faith comes from what has occurred in the individual states, such as Arizona and Virginia. The only way that this nation can get onto the right track is if we start upholding the constitution and start supporting the sovereign rights of the individual states. Congress has become so bloated and blind to reality that they, and our president, constantly shred the constitution to pass legislation that they support. It is also important to note that America is a Republic and follows a Republican form of government, not a democracy that is so readily stated by most. However, that is a small portion of the constitution that liberals are attempting have removed from school curriculum.

jr, it is clear that you have paid little attention to this nation and the political powers that have been shaping this nation. The Republican Party is not responsible for every folly that has lead to hard times for this nation. Climate change is a completely separate topic that would take far too much time to explain. I will provide one comment in saying that Al Gore is far from accurate, and the solution to our woes is not wind or solar energy. As for energy independence, that could be obtained if liberal legislation were to be removed. In a simple vitrification process, our current nuclear power plants could become quite clean sources of energy that would be able to easily power all of America; however, there are so many restrictions in place that prevent new nuclear power plants from being built and construction on existing nuclear power plants from being performed. As for health care, I would prefer leaving that in the hands of the private sector. I know that Canada is frequently referenced as the prime example of “successful” universal health care; although, it is important to keep in mind that 70% of Canadians have federal coverage and private coverage. This is because the federal coverage that is received in Canada does not cover all expenses and is quite in adequate when compared to private coverage. That being said, it is much better to have control over the coverage and costs of your plant than to put all faith in one body. Having universal health-care gives the federal government total authority. They have the power to choose your coverage and your costs, regardless of what you may want. At least with the private sector, if you do not like the coverage that you are receiving, then you have the ability to take your money to another provider. It is also important to keep in mind that you will most likely pay much more with universal health-care. It might seem like less, but that is because the money will be taken directly out of your paycheck, which means that you are not writing the check and actually seeing the full amount that you are paying. Though, this is a problem brought on by liberal policies. There has been massive expansions to federal aid, and a drastic increase in restrictive legislation that has come from the Democratic Party, which has resulted in a need for insurers to increase what they charge. If you want lower costs, then you must make it more cost effective for the provider. If a product takes more effort, time, and money to produce, then it will cost more to buy. Even the government will not provide free coverage. They won’t even provide coverage with an expectation of zero profit. The coverage that they provide will be inferior and will cost much more. If you monitored politics in America, you would know and understand that politicians are far greedier than any business or business owner ever could be.

Well, it is clear that he hasn’t faced them down. He has surrendered and bowed to them. This man has done nothing but weaken our nation and show the world that America is vulnerable with him in office. However, I believe that he did have an interview with Brit Hume in an attempt to peak his plummeting approval ratings. However, Brit Hume handled himself well and made Obama look like quite a fool.

Unfortunately, there were enough of you to get him elected. I wonder if you still believe that Obama is a “breath of fresh air” compared to Bush? Seeing as how it has been well over one year since Obama was elected, and he is still using Bush as a scapegoat, you probably still believe that Bush is responsible for all the troubles of your everyday life.

In case you miss my previous post, I will provide the link to the youtube video again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCAffMSWSzY

Obama will and has affected more than the wealthy. It is your blatant ignorance that has allowed this man to be elected to the highest office. You were so blinded by his ability to articulate his thoughts in a fashion not before seen. He spoke in circles and many became dizzy enough to vote for him, but you were too distracted to realize that his speeches had no context.

Now, that being said, to address your attempt at satire. I will ignore the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan because they are mostly opinion based topics. However, you are wrong quite frequently throughout your rant. We don’t send “other peoples kids to war.” If you have not realized, the majority of those in uniform are republicans and conservatives. The liberals of this nation do not fight for this nation in large numbers. This has come from witnessing first hand who makes up our military base. Again, not only the wealthy will have something to lose with an Obama presidency. Those that have endured the worst of the Obama presidency have come from the lower rungs of the economic ladder, which is why even the small business owners did not support Obama. They were not millionaires, but they saw Obama for what he was and is. As for the “McDoormats,” your previous quote of “ignorance must be bliss” comes to mind. The Democratic Party takes more from the American people than the Republican Party. However, it is the Republican Party that creates that vast majority of jobs within this nation. It is the also the Republican Party that works to keep energy costs low. Who do you think uses more energy and has to bear the brunt of the increasing energy prices? The small business owners are affected the most by the increasing energy prices, and it has been the Democratic Party that has been pushing for more environmentally “friendly” legislation, which has caused increases in energy production costs, which inevitably causes an increase in energy prices.

Chris, I find it fascinating that you believe the “facts” are located at https://www.snopes.com. Do you not find it odd that the “facts” are only at the websites that post material supporting your views. Your site of reference has no credibility at all. Normally I do not use youtube as a source, but this video provides several video clips of various Obama interviews that show his true Muslim faith.
