I get goosebumps thinking that this country would not have existed today if Obama didn't win the election. President McCoot and vice president Beauty Queen would have declared war to Russia, North Korea, China and Iran and the world would have ceased to exist.Comment -

I miss the days of Reagan...... he tore down the wall, shoved a missle up Khadafi's ass, freed the Iranian hostages, and didn't take any shit from anyone. There wouldn't be any Iran/Iraq/Afghanistan annoyances -- it would have been carpet bomb and move on....... America is most effective when they have a leader who is just a little bit crazy, and a bit of a cowboy...... makes the other threats think twice.
And for you liberal folks........ I love JFK for the same reason. He didn't blink during the Cuban missle crisis.Last edited by mtneer1212; 08-13-10, 10:13 AM.Comment -
What a bunch of dumb asses in this thread if you read my previous statement you would realize I side with no side in this jack-ass conversation. Regan was also responsible for the big move of companies offshore so thanks for that. I didn't vote for either jack-ass this election and probably won't next time either. I do agree Obama has a bunch of ****** of policies but so would the other president McCain if elected so I see no gold on the other side just stupidity by Americans who think there actually picking a side in a election.Comment -
voted for him but he has made things worse.Comment -
Obama obviously doesn't want a second term...and the longer he goes the deeper he's digging the hole. Tonight his agreeing on the Muslim Center near Ground Zero is another blunder that he'll regret...not sure who's advising him, but they're failing...big time.Comment -
First off this past presidential election was the shittiest of all time. Both canidates sucked ass. With that being said we would have been better off with the old man.Comment -
Fox News is not news. It's right wing propaganda. They spin the news it is sickening.Comment -
here,here!
Reagan showed that massive tax cuts for everyone would cause business to invest and allowed people to keep/spend more. JFK did the same thing. We need massive tax reform or the economy will continue to weaken and eventually end up completely in Asia and other areas that businesses do not have to share half their profits with a government.Comment -
What distortion was that again? And where does one get this "recognition" from?
Another thing, what the fuk does being "a near isolationist country" have to do with anything? So a country can't be prosperous if they mind their own fuking business?
...and expanding throughout the world? WHO?!? Governments? So government is the source of wealth and prosperity?
We were the most prosperous country in the world prior to income taxes and the federal reserve.
In 1820, US GDP was less than 2% of the world's GDP. By 1913, US GDP was more than double any other country and 1/5 of the world's. Funny thing about freedom, it works.
From 1820 to 1870, US GDP increased 784% while the world GDP had only increased 59%. From 1870 to 1913, US GDP increased 526% while the world GDP had only increased 246%.
Then in 1913, the US adopts an income tax and gives a private bank control of it's currency, growth dramatically drops close to the world average. Even the period you refer to as our best growth period following WW2 (1950-1973), we were below the world average.
The figures are calculated based on GDP numbers here:

insightful as always.
There's plenty of talking heads on all the news stations that spin it both ways.
The "news" part of the stations is often absent. They lack any real journalists that produce real news, and only report current events from a naive and ignorant point of view.
The mindless masses would much rather watch Entertainment tonight or TMZ anyway.Comment -
1. I already explained the distortion.
2. We truly became a prosperous country when we became a world power, which didn't occur until after WW2. And yes, being an isolationist country does limit how powerful a country can become.
3. How did prosperity come down to solely GDP [Which is an economical factor but doesn't take into account other things that would indicate prosperity]? Were we directing various international issues in the 19th century like we do today? No. Did we have the most powerful military in the world in the 19th century? No. Were we the sole world power in the world in the 19th century? No. Did we have the largest cache of nuclear weaponry in the world in the 19th century? Obviously not. There is no comparison.Comment -
if you are going to talk about realism, why don't we start with the Muslims before the blacks? You sound like a 50 year old conservy that just listens to what the media has to say Bean Town.WELL BOYS LIKE I ALWAYS SAY MAN THESE COLORED PEOPLE CAN SPEND IT WHEN THEY HAVE IT.

No distortion, You just made the same link again. Prosperity = Big Military.
So we only truly became prosperous when the US went in massive debt spending for the war. Not when we were living within our means and producing wealth.
It's ignorant dipshits like you that got us where we're at now.
From 1917 to 1919 (WWI), debt grew 759% (3.61B to 27.39B)
From 1941 to 1946 (WWII), debt grew 627% (42.97B to 269.42B)
War debt was almost 98% of the increase in debt the first half of the century.
BTW, Stop distorting my words. I said we became the RICHEST country by NOT taxing. Your original argument was about "best growth period" or some other bullshit.
And sure, prosperity may encompass other things (none of which you mentioned), but wealth is by far the greatest indicator. And considering our GDP was double any other country, you can safely assume we were the most prosperous as well.Comment -

Actually, I made military as one of the important indicator. Having enormous influence after international matters would another and it doesn't require a military. Also, I said "most prosperous."
Also, you can stop using Ad Hominem now by attacking me. That's usually the sign of a losing argument.
