I'm still waiting for a good response to Obama's trillion dollar stimulus that even his own people can't account for.

For sure....there are reasons why the far Left is in worship mode.....He's coming through for them not only on the fiscal side, but also on the social side as well....You've already mentioned hate crimes for saying anything even perceived as against homosexuals or homosexuality.  

He's also a liar. For example, he campaigned on the promise that he would look at every item of federal spending and remove from the budget all pork-barrel items.

And he said that he would support policies to reduce abortions, but yesterday, with his signing an executive order to lift the Mexico City policy, that prohibits taxpayer funds from going to organizations that promote or perform abortions overseas, "he is effectively guaranteeing more abortions by funding groups that promote abortion as a method of population control," so said Douglas Johnson, legislative director of the National Right to Life Committee.

Planned Parenthood International has reported that under the Bush administration, they lost more than $100 million in funding. Isn't a bailout of the abortion industry when it targets unborn babies in Third World countries an expenditure?

As to your title, this is absolutely true unless "We the people" come to our senses VERY SOON. We are living in times when the government is providing the solutions to society's problems.

It could be that too many of us really don't know what a Republic is....or may have forgotten what we once learned...or worse, were never taught at all!

That's right ID, you hit that nail on the head. The liberals refused to acknowledge that Al Quaida had declared war on the US. A few ineffectual cruise missile strikes, then forget about it. That is why 9/11 occurred. If you don't swat a mosquito it will bite you. The example you quote is common perception of the Clinton years by liberals.

This is true. Modern economists now say that Roosevelt's policies may actually have made things worse; what could have been an 18-month recession was jacked into a 10-year depression.

Of course, it (and the war, of course) got him elected 4 times.....that's what matters most.

See, liberals lack the gene that enables them to see/understand long-term. They don't grasp that the simple act of signing a policy into law isn't a magic trick, with instantaneous results. They don't understand that things, especially economic policies, can take time to show results. Unless it was signed by a liberal President, of course, then it doesn't matter how long it takes or what happens, it was the right thing to do. And if it fails, it's because of the Republicans.

It is not a gene, it is neuron.  And they lack plenty of them.
