Even their political enemies have to admit that Day One of America′s Comeback Team, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, was a resounding success! Congressman Ryan, the youngest ever chairman of the House Budget Committee, proved his stripes during his first day of speeches. Not only is he the best equipped to discuss the nuances of federal budgets, but Ryan even explains Romney′s economic plan better than Mitt does! When it comes to summing up the presidency of Barack Obama, Ryan describes it as nothing but debt, doubt, despair and decline.
Obama has added more to the National Debt than any other president in a single term. If reelected and his agenda is allowed to take full root, Obama will add more debt than all previous presidents combined, including George W. Bush! Obama′s policies have not helped the economy to recover, instead he has only added more doubt about our future, leading to many people holding back from investing. Despair amongst Americans has increased since Obama took office. For the first time since polling started, Americans are concerned that future generations will not have it as good. That the United States is in decline as a world power.
The Obama presidency has been a national disaster. Hurricane Barack has ravaged nearly every sector of the economy and threatens the very spiritual soul of the country. There is not a single, compelling reason why he should be given a second term in office. I suppose Obama is good for the golf course industry, but even that would be a stretch.
So three cheers for America′s Comeback Team of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan! If the rest of the campaign can match the excitement and energy of the first day, then Barack Obama will be voted out of the White House come November 6. As Sherlock Holmes would say, ″The game is afoot!″

“and threatens the very spiritual soul of the country.”
I think the hyperbole meter just broke.
The spiritual soul of the country? Does our county have a spiritual soul? What is a spiritual soul?

Downgrade.

Buzz,
If you have to ask what the “spiritual soul” of the country is, then you just don’t get it. Go read de Tocqueville.
August 13th, 2012 at 1:45 pm
Since I don’t think people have a spiritual soul, I certainly can’t fathom that a country has one.
Both a spirit and soul are merely inventions of man to explain the inexplicable.
Now you may differ on whether people have either, so be it, a difference of opinion and I have no desire to change yours, that would disrespectful to you, but to imagine that a country has one is certainly puzzling to me.
We are merely a collection of increasingly polarized and diverse people. Americans? Yes, but connected by a spirit and/or soul?
Umm…not so much.
August 13th, 2012 at 1:49 pm
… but we are connected by a common culture which is our figurative spirit and soul. The values of hard work, self-reliance, and entrepreneurialism are distinguishing American values whether liberals like it or not. American does indeed have a spirit and soul which binds us together as a people.

“The values of hard work, self-reliance, and entrepreneurialism are distinguishing American values whether liberals like it or not.”
That is an ideal that is nothing more than that, an ideal.
Most people are not entrepreneurial, many are not self-reliant and only some are hard working (but I think that last one only includes right wingers).
This is merely another example of the American exceptionalism nonsense that is putting us further and further behind.
Our advantage, (which was a result of our unique model, which has been successfully emulated) is no longer “exceptional”.
This belief that our “exceptionalism” will keep us safely in front is nothing but hubris and arrogance that is stunting, rather than fueling, our competitive fires.
Once we realize that our competitors are formidable and considerable will we start to reestablish our lead.
Overconfidence is the trait of former winners.
Anything else is borderline fanaticism that is reminiscent of my support of the Detroit Lions over the last 40 years. “Yup, this is our year”. Why? Well we won a championship in 1957 so we are still the best”.
But then it is obvious that I hate my country because I view it objectively and I am certainly not a “real” American. (Of course I wish I had told them that when I was drafted).
August 13th, 2012 at 2:35 pm
“That is an ideal that is nothing more than that, an ideal.”
Oh no, it isn’t an ideal. It is our culture, inherited from those who fled Europe to immigrate here, established colonies, and fought against the odds for a new country which has given Americans a healthy chip on their shoulder for over 200 years. And it is the reason immigrants still come here from Mexico and elsewhere because our culture of self-reliance and entrepreneurialism that actually rewards hard work allows them to get ahead.
Liberals have a very difficult time defining our Americans culture because they don’t believe Americans have any common bond. Your inability to see it is telling.

Pretty sad the state of the soul of a person that takes offense for the mention of the soul of a nation.

“This is merely another example of the American exceptionalism nonsense that is putting us further and further behind.”
Buzz, if you study history, you’ll find that democracies generally tend not to work. France is a great example. Even after Napoleon III, how many republics have come and gone? Russia is a more recent example of where democracy almost started but fizzled out.
America has indeed been an exception for there has always been a direct connection between liberty and morality. When the Rev. George Whitefield toured colonial America preaching his message of the Great Awakening, crowds from Boston to Charleston flocked to hear him. He even inspired Ben Franklin!
I understand that you are a product of our Progressive-Humanist education system and therefore have no clue as to the true origins of American liberty. This is why you see no need for a strong, moral compass to serve as a guiding force for good.
