So you are saying that most Americans are deadbeats and communists? Sounds like you should consider immigrating to somewhere else.

Claiming that all the collapses can be traced back to the CRA is completely false. Do some research beyond the con talking points and you may learn that the cons (with a veto proof majority) foisted the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act on America in 1999. This was the ultimate underlying cause of the financial problems we are having now. The final dis-manteling of Glass-Steagall allowed commercial banks to deal in mortgage backed securities just as an investment bank could. Consider it this way: If commercial banks could not deal in mortgage backed securities, there would be no bail out necessary because of mortgage backed securities problems. Pretty simple, huh? Also look at the Bush admin's "American Dream" initiative that exacerbated the problem.
I am a proud yellow dog Democrat. My father and grandfathers before me were all democrats. All of us have fought and shed blood for our country. All of us worked hard all our lives and the only "entitlements" received were Social security, which we paid for ourselves through payroll deductions. I also draw a small VA pension for the wounds I suffered fighting in Vietnam. Does that make me "coddled?"
Democrats and labor unions built this country, jerk. If not for us you would not have a 40 hour work week and your 10 year old girl might have to spend 16 hours a day working in a sweat shop to help feed you. Democrats are the WORKERS party, the GOP is the party of the fat cats. They get you to vote for them by using cultural wedge issues.
Calling Obama "boy" is racist. It certainly fits right in with the rest of the nonsense you have posted.-

Right on man !!!!!!!!
These clowns seem to think they deserve to be rich at a cost to everyone else.
Denial and a lack of a functioning conscious or moral background seems to be prevalent in them.
The only war they want is one where they make money while others die for their comfort.
The GOP is and has been for corporate America, the usurper of American freedom.
They made money from us dying in Nam. They make money from the kids dying in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I hate their smug little thought process of money makes everything alright !!!!!!
Money is the root cause of injustice and war. We need money to live but we don't need to live for money. That is what is wrong!!!!! People haven't figured out that life is about more than the money you have. -
