Well Jenasee if you want to argue my point it would be a good idea to bring up some arguments.
Lacking those I can just assume that if my satements are inaccurate then you mean that people in difficult economic situation are getting more relaxed and happy and peaceful.
I would love to read about documented examples for that.
I never said small town people yield for violance. I said people in difficult economic situation do. ( and of course it doesn't mean that every single person it means a general trend) It also doesn't mean that they are all murderers or drug dealers, or they are all using their weapons (some might be just collectors
) but as you said they love their guns (which are designed to cause harm = violance)and that shows at least affinity to violence (which by the way doesn not necessarily mean only drugs and/or guns).
My reference to Joe is pretty clear. Joe the Plumber is a name for the average, hard working middle class guy. The guys who begin to worry about their families income and well being when the economy goes south. (who can blame them?) They are not bad people and still bad leadership (e.g. Nazi leadership in pre-war Germany) can turn things worse than it is, as it was proven in history (not just in pre-war Germany, it was just the most obvious example.)
I would love to see some references that proves me wrong about my references of history.
You did not respond to the original point which was that this comment can not prove Obama being either a bad or a good leader and if you think this statment of mine is false, then please explain.
whoisjohngalt, the economy was a big issue years before this mortgage crisis. The mortgage cisis is a direct symptom of the bad economic policies not the cause itself. Or you argue the point that in many rural areas many jobs has been gone and not replaced for twenty years?
And finally guns, hatred and going to church are not going to get us out of the situation we are in, that's for sure, so in my opinion, any leadership (democrat or republican,) that claims or implies these trends to be solutions is populist at best, and a dangerously bad one at worst.
