"Obama is destroying the America I knew as a boy!!"

[bluestateguy]

And when it's a white 60+ year old teabagger saying that, I know exactly what they really mean by that.

[JVS]

1. That's odd. I'm in my 30s and right wing and "third way" politicians have destroyed the world I...

knew as a boy.

So that old guy can go fuck himself with a chainsaw.

[The Wielding Truth]

2. Bush raped it, dismantled it, sold it, shamed it, and destroyed it.

Obama is picking it up and mending it. He should be helping it heal.

[Jackpine Radical]

3. I was born during the reign of King Franklin & Queen Eleanor.

It's everyone from Nixon & Reagan through Bush II that fucked up MY world.

[RKP5637]

10. I know exactly what you mean. I'm from just slightly after that, but I remember

Queen Eleanor well.

[CTyankee]

24. Me, too. I grew up in Texas. Legal segregation of schools, restaurants, bathroom

facilities, drinking fountains, buses, even movie theatres. Then we got the great civil rights legislation and Medicare and my parents were able to age in dignity.

You are right about who effed things up...

[thotzRthingz]

4. "Obama is destroying the America I knew" well, we all dislike having to GROW-UP... welcome to the

adult world known as American Democracy! ;)

[northernlights]

5. hmmmm....would that mean he was a boy during the McCarthy era? nt

[RKP5637]

12. I remember McCarthy as a child and he scared the SH** out of me... I remember

well watching the hearings on TV with my parents. My dad was an old time STRONG democratic politician. He took no SH** from any republican and kicked ass.

[burrowowl]

19. Ditto

I was little and McCarthy scared me.
I came back from France in after 20 years and lo and behold I found a John Birch flyer in my parents' mailbox.
Raygun was a very bad man or since he was probably incapacitated Bu@h, were responsible for over 200,000 Guatemalan Indian deaths. Raygun's wife's father was a Bircher, connect the dots.
I am sad to see the U$A veering again towards Fascism and idiocy.

[YOY]

6. The America I saw as a boy was warped by Reagan...do they think he protected/preserved it?

Stupid. Mother. Fuckers.

[Bitwit1234]

7. Any body that wants the world bush made is crazy and should be

locked up.

[Rage Inc.]

8. A Special Kind O' Stupid!

K$R!

[prolesunited]

9. A time when those uppity wimmin folks

and n***** knew their place. To have Obama and Pelosi running the country is truly driving them insane.

[Robeson]

11. White fountains only.

[RKP5637]

14. And colored restrooms. I never did understand that as a little kid. n/t

[NOLALady]

13. Right.

"Obama is destroying the America I knew as a boy!!"

I don't see a problem here.

I had to sit on the back of a bus when he was a boy. I also didn't have health insurance.

[DeepBlueC]

15. That is the King of Comebacks

I'd love to see you deliver it on The TV. I'd hear the wave of laughter rolling right up my street.

[Lint Head]

16. They want to bring back Jim Crow and segregation. It's obvious.

[madrchsod]

17. somethings were good and some were bad....

i`d rather not go back to the bad things

[AnnieBW]

18. No cellphones, no Internet

No gender equality. No female governors like Sarah Palin. Women, blacks, and Hispanics "knew their place". Gays didn't exist at all.

Yeah, sounds like a f*cking paradise.

[walldude]

20. Progress destroyed the America you "knew as a boy"...

welcome to... life... moron.

[CommonSensePLZ]

21. Help! My clock keep moving forward! It's a socialist timepiece forcing progress down my throat! nt

[Odin2005]

22. Dumbass Right-Wing Racist Boomer. Typical.

Meanwhile 97% of us Millennials are A-OK with interracial relationships. Get with the times you racist fuck!

[ThomWV]

23. Horseshit ... Ronald Reagan destroyed the American I knew as a boy - one of relative equality

relative to today.

Mark my words, Ronald Reagan will be recognized as the worst President this nation ever had.

[Klukie]

25. No...greed and ignorance is destroying the America you knew as a boy

[havocmom]

26. Wingers can't accept the nation was totally ruined well before Obama came on the scene

They are only getting upset about it NOW because there's:
A) A DEM congress and president
B) There is a black guy being introduced on tv all the time as 'the President'

and
C) the damage has reached the point that even the brain dead are noticing

[Xenotime]

27. What a big baby.

[Enthusiast]

28. He means when the top marginal

rate was 90%?


I don't remember Republicans calling the nation socialist when Eisenhower was president. Funny about that.
