I beg to differ with those who believe President Obama doesn't know what he's doing.

He knows exactly what he's doing. With an "optimistic" projection of a $9.3 trillion deficit in ten years, Obama is guaranteeing Americans a future of government imposed poverty and servitude.

It ironic that this president was elected (in part) to assuage liberal guilt and atone for America's historical sin of slavery. And it is this president that will commit future generations of Americans to lives of bondage under government debt.

Reminds me of Foxworthy. Not that his article is funny, but I couldn't help thinking: "If this, then you might be an Obama supporter". This article was absolutely excellent and as others have said, hit the nail on the head. Then again I'm white, male, and hard-working, and thus Western-centric and fortunate; so what do I know.

Victor Hanson's piece is thought-provoking and disturbing. He nails Obama and his sheep right between the eyes - they do not understand what made our nation great, nor do they comprehend what needs to be done to keep us great. I served 36 years in the Army, retiring with 20 years active duty this past December, and it disturbs me deeply to see someone like him, who has no love for this country or it's people, trying to implement policies and plans that will shackle my children and grandchildren to paying on a debt that was created just to meet a liberal agenda. I have lived in several foreign countries and I can tell you, the United States of America is head and shoulders above any of the rest. Even simple things like bathrooms and heat in our homes stand out above most other countries. I teach social studies now and when I try to convey to my students the differences in our nation and others, they cannot comprehend what I am saying. They think everyone in the world takes a shower every day, has a cell phone and a car, and has all they want to eat and are disbelieving when I try to explain or show otherwise. Unfortunately, our President was elected by those who hold our nation and our heritage in contempt, and by those who heard the pretty words but couldn't understand the meaning. I worked for what I have, as did my parents and grandparents, and I don't want to give it to someone who sits on their rear end all day so that "life can be fair". Guess what, liberals, life ain't necessarily fair, but if you work you will be better off than you will be getting a handout from Uncle Sam's sugarteat.

One thing that does give me hope - as I describe, in real, everyday language, what some of these proposals mean, many of my students do get it. They don't want to work and have their money go to someone else who doesn't work any more than I do. Maybe they can begin to wake up and share the message.

We live in the greatest nation in the world. Let's work and do our best to take it back from these liberals who have nothing but contempt for the rest of us!

If my conservative & libertarian perspective on the world is truly correct, then liberals are a combination of:

1) Stupid: And you can't fix stupid. Ever try to talk rational logic to a liberal?
2) Ignorant: But by the time liberals get through guberment education they are already indoctrinated ignoranuses to the point of impenetrable dogma … effectively stupid. For example, "Money is the root of all evil." Or, "to steal from the rich and give to the poor" is ethical.
3) Diabolical Conspirators: With a calculated, premeditated strategy for increasing their own power by leveraging stupidity, laziness and fear within the dumb masses.

As Boortz explains in “THE DEMOCRATS' (SECRET) PLAN FOR AMERICA” (http://boortz.com/more/demsecrets.html), once dems shift the tax burden from 51% of the proletariat and control the body and mind of 51% of the dumb masses, then they create a defeat-proof socialist congress, for the ultimate goal of increasing their power at the expense of the wealthy.

On the other hand, I’m sure liberals believe my conservative & libertarian perspective is Stupid, Ignorant, and Diabolical for the ultimate bourgeoisie purpose of increasing my wealth through the exploitation of the proletariat.

When will we realize that these fools are the most dangerous threat to the American way of life that this country has ever faced?

Exceptional yes! If we're not, then why are so many immigrating here, legally and illegally, escaping slavery, poverty, and dictatorship.
The Constitution is law.
As this administration demands to ignore the Constitution and completes the destruction of all that has been accomplished with blood of freedom fighters, we return to slavery, poverty, and dictatorship.
Liberals, be very careful of what you ask!

I agree, there are some people who are going to beleive almost anything they are told. I also find most of this article to be pretty close to how I fell about the current situation we find ourselves in. There is no doubt we have been running down the road to socialism for many decades now, and it's finnaly catching up to us. I do however, disagree with some of this. I believe that most of our foreign policy problems stem from our interventionist practices for the past century or so. These little despots and dictators across the globe would have no effect on our nation if we openly trade with everyone and made alliances with none.

America is exceptional to Americans. At some point Americans will have to accept the unchanging,undeniable fact that America is not special or exceptional to many other countries. For Germans, Germany is exceptional and the same for places like Jamaica, China or any other country with strong nationalistic pride.Just hard fact. Many countries do not want certain cultural aspects that exist in America. That being said, should the U.N try to hold America down or back? Nope. America needs to be out of the U.N. America has many good things going for it, America needs to start stressing the good things about it, without trying to force its ideas onto other countries. Lead by example, defend with force. America can lead by accepting the good in free market capitalism, low or no taxes, and individual liberties. America does not have to go half way across the world rendering itself bankrupt in order to spread its ideas by force. If other countries are crap countries and America is surging forth with free market capitalism increasing the standard of living for individuals, naturally other countries will want to follow suit. Just because America might be exceptional to Americans, that may not really mean anything for other people who find their own country exceptional.
