    It is contrary to what this country was founded and unconstitutional.

    I only base my opinion on what he has told us he intends to do.

    This country was founded on slavery and it was constitutional. Fortunately, we got rid of slavery and now we are getting rid of trickle down economic policies.

    As an Obamanite, you had better subscribe to that theory. It would be hypocritical of you to hold any other opinion.

    It's quite evident you don't know the difference between annual budget deficit and national debt.

    One thing they do have in common. Your hero George Bush added to both of them for eight years, with the help of a six year Republican Congress and a two year Democratic Congress.

    If the national debt increase of $1.018 trillion dollar in a single fiscal year is not the annual budget deficit, then what is it?

    I agree with very few of your positions on issues, but do think that the ideas you express is what you believe regardless of party. You cannot discuss, debate, or argue a point with someone who puts party loyality above liberal or conservatives principles. They have no compass, while you do, just pointed in the wrong direction.

    It was not founded on slavery.

    Then we fought a mighty bloody war between fellow Americans over something that had no relationship to the founding of our nation.

    Slavery did not work well in the North, but the Southern economy was founded on slavery and the foundation to the propserity of the South was slavery.

    Despite what our slanted history books might teach, nearly ALL of the founding fathers were ardently anti-slavery. It is repugnant to me that you would decry the DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC, which the founding fathers structured this country to be, because of one or two of them advocating slavery while voting for a man (Obama) who not only advocates, but wishes to state sponsor baby murder.

    Just a few quotes, from our founding fathers (you know, wrote the constitution, declaration of independence, etc.)..

    William Livingston, signer of the Constitution and Governor of New Jersey speaking of an abolition society He wished to join..

    Writing of the founders, John Quincy Adams wrote:
    James Otis of Massachusetts said in 1764 that
    Most of the men who gave us the Declaration and the Constitution wanted to see slavery abolished. For example, George Washington wrote in a letter to Robert Morris:

    Charles Carroll, Signer of Declaration from Maryland, wrote:

    Benjamin Rush, Signer from Pennsylvania, stated:

    Father of American education, and contributor to the ideas in the Constitution, Noah Webster wrote:

    Quotes from John Adams reveal his strong anti-slavery views:

    When Benjamin Franklin served as President of the Pennsylvania Society of Promoting the Abolition of Slavery he declared:
    Thomas Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration included a strong denunciation of slavery, declaring the king's perpetuation of the slave trade and his vetoing of colonial anti-slavery measures as one reason the colonists were declaring their independence:

    Prior to independence, anti-slavery measures by the colonists were thwarted by the British government. Franklin wrote in 1773:

    Course correction.

    Lets get back on topic, which has nothing to do with slavery.

    I guess then we have replaced one form of slavery for another. It's sad that we would trade our birthright for a government check. This country will not last much longer under such thinking. The next step in that line of thinking will result in birth rates below replacement level so that we can breed ourselves out. Just like the enlightened Europeans are doing, because kids are such a drag on the finite economic pie that has to be equally shared.

    Such thinking is anti-biblical and atheistic to the core.
