I swear, how stupid are people here? I'm watching this piece on TV about the high murder rate in Philadelphia, and Anderson Cooper is essentially blaming it on the high number of guns in the city and gun laws in Pennsylvania. GIVE ME A BREAK! How about blaming the drug dealers and thugs in the city? That's why the guns are there! How about blaming the economy and poverty there! I just love that people here are still trying to figure out why schools are so bad. Hmmm, maybe it's because schools hire the crappiest, dumbest teachers and the laws have basically encouraged kids not to respect or listen to teachers in class? Maybe it's the idiot parents who think school is just for babysitting? I love how people here encourage the war in Iraq, the idolatry of the military, police, firefighters and sports stars over health care, a stable economy and a proper infrastructure! Are monkeys in control of America?

I picture a monkey with one of those goofy grins on his face right now. Everyone has the answers to Americas problems but no one seems to have any viable solutions.
2
Maybe. And YA.
3
I full heartedly agree. All good points.
4
Yes, and the president is the head chimp: http://www.bushorchimp.com/pics.html

Liberalism is to blame Liberals made soft-on-crime laws Liberals prevented honest people from having guns to protect themselves

1. The saying "You get the government you deserve" usually applies 2. If a person focuses on the negative, they will become negative 3. Anyone can change their circumstances, IF they want to. It usually involves some hard work, which some people are allergic to .

I - sort of - I think agree with you - except about the education part. If we spent one TENTH of the half-trillion dollars that George Bush has SQUANDERED on the bogus "war" in Iraq, on health care AND education, we could fund every "liberal" plan on the table. I do not understand why people don't get this.

How about placing the blame where it belongs...on the people that commit the acts.

guns don't kill people , people kill people... Cooper is a socialist puppet controlled by the liberals...

I don't 100% agree... I believe that the American Populace is acting like Children thinking it is the Government's responsibility to take care of them. The Government is simply taking advantage of that in consolidating more and more power. Healthcare is not the Government's responsibility, heck, I don't trust the government in terms of health care at all. A stable economy doesn't come through government intervention, it comes through the people making the economy stable, by not being stupid. Proper Infrastructure, that is on are where I believe it is the government's responsibility; of course since they can't handle this, do we really want them handling our healthcare?

1. Americans aren't smart enough to understand the real issues and real solutions require more brains, skill and diplomacy than your average politician possesses. 2. America's policies are driven by the special interest groups who own the politicians. 3. News program ratings would drop if they presented their viewers with a real analysis of the problems and solutions. Chronic consumers of mass media just don't have the attention span for that type of thing.

OK fella, check this out. Did you see Anderson Cooper during Katrina? Talk about a journalist in training! Even my tree hugging, fish kissing mother was appalled at his lack of professionalism. We all know Katrina was bad, the pictures spoke louder and more clearly than that idiot Cooper. He has proven himself to be nothing more than the laughingstock of the journalism world (if you take the NYT out of qualifying). Typical Democrat practice is to blame an object we can keep out of the children's hands. No personal Responsibility. It is all the fault of the Constitution! I think we all should exhume the founding fathers so we can hang them all from the gallows! How could they let guns become the property of people!

Here's what we need to do to change things: Our country, for the average American citizen, is almost destroyed. We need to put politicians in both parties on notice. We keep the Constitution, hold special elections--first have a yea or nay no-confidence vote on the current administration, if yea, we hold additional elections. The result of the elections should be the replacement of those in all three branches of government, executve, legislative, and judicial. Institute term limits and campaign contribution limits. Destroy the slanted media that is owned by globalist monopolies and replace the slackers with real jounalists who are willing to investigate and report without bias or the advertisers approval and stop using the White House and propaganda machines to do their reporting for them with prewritten news releases. Put the government to work for the people. Launch a Manhattan Project style search for the best, least expensive alternative fuel to drive this nation. Say goodbye to oil and the Middle East will have to go to work instead of fighting with everyone who doesn't believe as they do. Find a way to provide health care insurance at a low cost by re-doing the entire medical system in this country. Take the power away from global coporations. Create American jobs at home for America people.While government statistics show our unemployment rate to be around 6 percent, some experts estimate that it is really between 10 and 11 percent if all the Americans who have exhausted unemployment benefits and just given up looking for work were counted. Put every American who needs an income to work. No more illegal aliens--no excuses--you go back home. Slow immigration and make sure those who threaten this county leave this country. No more enemy aliens (an alien living in a country that is at war with his own country). Promote family life, encourage young couples--with affordable housing and community support. Nationalize all foreign holdings in the US. Kick BP out. Fumigate the Department of Education--house clean. Revamp the education system with a new hands on approach to education. Tell the truth in textbooks--no international propaganda. Get international policy institutes out of our decision making process. Stop the dangerous trade with China and the import of its goods to the US. Tell the Pacific Rim that it's on its own. Eliminate the United Nations and the World Bank. They want to destroy the sovereign country of the United States of America. Allow the American citizen to excel and continue to do the miraculous job of growing the nation that it did before 2000. Send the Bush family to the moon or Madagascar or Mexico, but get them and all their cronies out of this country. Here's my question to you--can you do this, do you have the will or are you too dazed and beaten down, American? Well get off you behind or your knees, whatever, and let's go--let's turn our country around!

You obviously could do a much better job than those in charge now. Run for office and change things. It isn't just your right as an American citizen, it is essentially your duty to correct the wrongs you see. Back up those statements with action. Get involved and you can make a difference. (Like that 18 yr/old mayor in Ohio.) g-day!

I agree with you on everything except the idolizing part. Police, firefighters and the military are doing hard and dangerous jobs that are under appreciated, same goes for the health care industry, and those that are managing our economy and infrastructure, they are under appreciated jobs as well. I totally agree with you on how over idolized the spoiled athletes are, as well as spoiled movie stars and musicians! Pop culture is sickening these days.

All I've known is that since about the 60's people have been taught and directed more and more (through the past 40 years) to not take responsibility for their own actions. Government in the mean time, bows to peoples' ignorance and inability to fend for themselves in any way possible, just to win favor through votes and whatever other fascinations that help promote their political objectives. There's not many government elected officials that actually give a hoot about you, your future, your family or your livelihood.
