I promised myself I would not post back.
Reread my post.
I am not giving Obama a pass one way or the other.
You all said I am for taking and supporting your Rights being taken away by Obama.

I cannot let that go.

I always , always, get into this with my dear so-called Conservative friends. I always say, I sound more Conservative that you.
You want to discuss .
I always with them as I do here and then I listen to the crickets.
No comeback. No answers. Well.....

Freedoms. Rights. Thanks Oak, other post for clarifying that and no, I did not mean one are both , the same. Thanks though.

Still back to gun ownership. Rights. Freedoms.
Obama believes in gun ownership. Listen to that speech.
He said so.

You all said about Freedoms. Rights.

I said the line is blurred when one group wants one to have Rights . Freedoms .
They just don't want the other side to have THEIR Rights. Freedoms.

Me, I believe if you want an abortion, please feel free to have this medical procedure. If arsaint does not want this or believe in that, fine. No one is making him have this.
He and no one should have the Right to stop someone else.

Eat meat. Don't eat meat. Only eat carrots and apples everyday if you want for all I care. Me, I like and will eat my burgers.

If gays want to marry,fine. I don't care.
I nor you are marrying one of them so why care . Their Right is to marry who they want and mine is to marry who I want as if anyone wants to marry me, but that is another story. LOL!

Wear fur. If you want to buy a mink, please do so. Saks has a great fur sale. You might want to get out Saks. No one has the Right to throw paint at you as go about your life wearing your fur.

Buy a gun. Buy several guns. Buy a gun a day if you like. Fine.
If you don't want one, then don't buy one.
Pretty simple.

National Healthcare or Obama care if you want to call it that. Fine.
Don't have it.
Ok then, I personally believe it is time to phase out Medicaid.
Keep those elderly in it who ahve been. Those people in their 70's, 80's,
90's.
Grandfather in those 65 now or will be within the next five years. When it runs out for them, it runs out.
People my age, and I will be old one day, really,the hardest thing my generation had to deal with was which mall to go shop at on Saturdays.
Fun stuff.

Medicare. Phase it out unless for the critically ill , poor. I am a Christian, What can I say. I would not like to see or be comfortable with crippled people begging on the streets or things like in the days of the Middle Ages.

Welfare/Wic. Eliminate these redundant programs and other programs. Eliminate WIC.
Hey, my mama and Daddy worked for every goda mn dime they earned.
I am Christian so, no, I would not like to see the poor not eat.
Fewer dollars in Food Stamps. More kids,wanting no job, no baby daddy, less Food Stamps.
Me, I buy some brand name things with my hard earned money and then I cut corners, pinch pennies, and buy some store brand things and I sue coupons. Middle -Class, this is how we grocery shop. Make do . Ever heard that term? It is a N.O. term. Make do is what you do. Make do with what cha' got.

Who is "their" you refer to? What, who gets
govt. cheese" in excahnge for their Rights. Freedoms.


Govt. school vouchers? No. If you want to go to a private school as I did, then fine . Go. Tell mama and daddy to get a second job and pay for it. Mine did. I have fam/freinds who choose to send their kids to private schools because it is their Right and they want their kids to follw their chosen religion, Catholic, and they work and pay that tution costing a few thousand dollars (7-10,000 or more) a year.
No one gives them govt. vouchers.
Yeah, I am radical. Way far more Conservative than you so-called Consers here. You get where my thoughts are.
Like with my friends who are Conservs...all I hear are cricketsssss...chrip....chirp.

Soc. Secuirty. Do away with it. Phase it out. When it blows, it blows.
I have paid into and I remember reading during Regan's years, in was in a Time magazine, that when my generation gets of age 65, Soc.Sec. won't be there.
BTW, Republicans would like to privitaize it and raise the retirement age. No way.

U.S. presidents get a penison of $400,ooo a year. Do away with this. Bush and Bush and Carter have family wealth.
Clinton and Obama do not.
Obama should end this now for himself and all future U.S. presidents.
Our presidents have alwas been from wealthy families and /or had wealthy supporters to fiance their life style. Reagan had wealthy supporters and friends to finance his life.

Congressional members recieve huge , six-figure retirement packages.
End this for those future ones.
That is ridiculous.

I am pro -Death Penalty. How can you be from New Orleans, a crime and murder captial of the world, and not be pro-Death Penalty.
This doesn't need explaining.
LOL!!

Term limits. I am all for it. Govt. service is service is supposed to be serving the public. You want a life time job, then be a CEO of a private company or start your own.
Term limits should be at city/local, state, national level for everything from dog catcher to U.S Senator.

You have people in Congress who have been there for a lifetime really.

"Obama, so scary. The nation is leaving us. OldMaid, you don 't understand what this man has done , what he is doing.
OldMaid , this is not business as usual with Obama."
I have been told all this.

Obama did not become PofTUSA four years ago and did all this. It was all well in place . He will be gone in four years and everything still will be well in place.
It is still ,with him, business as usual.

Of Foreign Aid. Cut this. USA gave in 2012 3 million dollars to Algeria. Algeria took and just freed some US hostages.
We have so many chickens coming home to roose as we did with 9/11.
When will we learn? Leave these people and Israel too alone.
They have been at war since the time of Jesus Christ and will be forever at war in chaos.

I don't really care much about what is going on in African nations and refugees and war there.

I care about American Middle -Class.
I have, know of rich fam/friends and they are doing great!!! It did not fall off the tree. It was not govt. given. It was not Affirmative Action. It was not gender loans, biased things because of being a woman. They worked for it. They got the education they needed for certian professions and yes, had good timing, made good life choices, and good luck and are very blessed.
I am all for making the best and biggest income you can. I am not against the Romney types or rich people or Upper-Middle Class/Well off people.
There is nothing wrong with working and making money!!!!!!!

My disappointment with Obama is that he is not radical, arrogant. Give the people what they want.
We are at a real turning point in life here in our country.
The budget needs to be balanced.
All the chickens are coming home to roose.

He has done some things right. Some things, he has not taken a tougher stand on to at least shut up his foes .

Huh?

TheOak

This^^! This is where you lost me for the duration of eternity.

You believe what comes out of his mouth.

Even after he has failed to deliver on every campaign promise.

arsaint

Confiscate all the assault rifles and issue one of these to all law-abiding citizens...
