America Is Beginning To Resemble A Third World Country.
   
After finally getting use to seeing rows and rows of shuttered stores and empty office complexes I am now seeing middle age women with Santa hats holding going out of business signs for Blocbusters that are liquidating their furniture.

Which is exactly what you goons want. You don't think America deserves any of her riches and that we should be stripped of them and be forced to live in a third world country. Nice going you morons who voted for Lord O.

5. The alleged "recovery" hasn't "trickled down" to the people yet.
   
But, if the bankers and politicians approve it might..someday...maybe...if the conditions are right...and pigs fly.

What you question Lord O's claims that he saved us from depression?

74. It is very reminiscent of the Reagan years, imo. n/t

You mean the Carter years Reagan's policies fixed a lot of what was wrong then.

83. Oh, it's worse
   
After the Reagan years, we still had a lot of our industrial infrastructure intact.

Many of the places I temped at when I was an unemployed Ph.D. no longer exist or have shipped production to the Third World.

Then Bush messed it all up right?

103. It's taken 30 years beginning with that ******* Reagan...
   
and I agree.

Yep because all was roses and chocolates when Jimmy was in office.  :whatever:

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

So, explain why if you drive in any poor area in any town, the amount of seattle dishes on their roofs, the cars in the driveways and you know they all have a TV, clothes, and plenty of food.? Take a look at the real 3rd world countries and you will see some of them don't have a pot to piss in and thrilled to get a bowl of rice a day. I am not thrilled with this country but we got it a lot better then others. :(

No kidding.  They are equating Blockbusters going out of sale with a third world country?  In a third world country, the vast majority of the population would not have a TV and DVD player to watch those movies.  They are lucky to have a house, even if it is made of scavenged materials.

Meh. And how many times have we seen this type of thread on DU.  :mental:

Sorry DUmmies, while I'll freely admit seeing the "Going Out Of Bidness" signs held by people...I've yet to see middle aged women standing there with them.

Just another DU dickhead trying to jazz up a BS story. Pathetic really.

What they need to understand...is that no matter how much they support Obama and the rest of the Statists...that milk and honey will NEVER flow to them.

It's always been my impression that the folks standing on corners holding the "Going Out Of Business" and "Giant Mattress Sale" signs are stereotypical DUmmies. The same guys who have been holding hand-lettered cardboard signs at the bottom of freeway exit ramps for years.

Hell I'm not a business mogul and I saw Blockbuster Video having to do this because of three words.

That's the way it goes, primitives. And one company that rents movies closing stores does not even come close to making the United States a 3rd world country. However, I approve of your hyperbole. Anything that hurts Democrats at the voting booth, pleases me.

Except, in the DUmmy world, they can worry about BOTH.  They can worry about businesses closing and jobs being lost, because it means more people will be joining them on the welfare roles instead of paying taxes into the welfare mammaries they suckle at so greedily, and that can't be good.  On the other hand, if the little lord Maøbama succeeds in creating a socialist worker's paradise from the rotten, corrupt bones of the United States, such that there are too many jobs needing to be done, they might be expected to get off of their fat asses and actually do something; that can't be good either.

As Obama boasted, "You ain't seen nothing yet!"

I think this is one of the three times that he has told the truth since anointment.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Yeah, each day America is beginning to look more and more like Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans, or any other city that dems have been running into the ground for decades. Obama is just doing it to the country at a much faster pace.
