Rational Nation USA

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny Obama, the Responsibly Man President Obama is finally acknowledgiong responsibilty for his almost four years in office. Rational Nation USA has never said the President is a "bad" person, that he is unpatriotic, or doesn't love his country. While many left leaning bloggers and commenters with an agenda will take issue with the preceding statement the fact remains Rational Nation USA has only taken issue with the President's performance and his political philosophy. Which is, as all reasonable people realize, is fair and proper game. At least as long as we live in a free nation, or should I say semi free? I'll leave it at that... Even though the President's acknowledgement that "the buck stops at his desk" is perhaps a bit late in coming we should all appreciate that he has taken this step. Of course reading his acknowledgement of responsibility I was somewhat taken aback by t...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny President Rutherford B. Hayes President Obama in his recent remarks on energy reached back in time to find a former republican President that he said was resistant to change and progress. Of course his plan was to draw parallels between this President of the later half of the 1800's and present day republicans that question his {Obama's} wisdom on energy. Politico 44 - "One of my predecessors, President Rutherford B. Hayes, reportedly said about the telephone: 'It’s a great invention but who would ever want to use one?'" Obama said. "That's why he's not on Mt. Rushmore." "He's looking backwards, he's not looking forward. He's explaining why we can't do something instead of why we can do something," Obama said. "The point is there will always be cynics and naysayers." Had the President checked his information... The curator of the R...

By: Les Carpenter III Rational Nation USA Barrack Hussein Obama was elected President on a platform of hopey changey feel good stuff. The kind of emotionalism the left thrives on. Like taking big business to task and redistributing wealth so everyone has a fair chance. The promise that Washington would be less partisan and therefor more effective in getting the peoples business done. Well, eighteen months later we have seen very little of the promised bipartisanship and a lot of forcing the Obamanation's agenda down the throats of the people. For all the mushy talk the President has effected little change in the tone in Washington politics. Why this should come as a surprise to anyone escapes me. For one Obama is a product of the Chicago democrat political machine, perhaps one of the most partisan and corrupt in the nation. Second is the fact that Obama is a true statist that believe govern...
