   In 1933 Germany elected a charismatic fanatic. The people followed him blindly until it was too late. He led Germany into the worst disaster in it's history. As misguided as Hitler was, though, I believe his intent was to better his country.

   Now we have placed in office a person who holds our laws, our Constitution, our military, our society, our freedoms, our borders, our industry and our privacy in complete contempt. He has indebted us beyond any hope to repay. He has violated our laws with impunity. He has imposed stiffling enviromental laws to suppress our ecocnemy that have almost no benefit. He han invited hoards of illegals over our borderd, promised them "green cards", paying them off with unearned Government benefits, illegaly registering them to vote to overpower the votes of our citizens. He celebrates all Muslin hollidays though. What other hidden acts has he done? We are still faced with over a year and a half of his imperious reign. Can we survive?

  At least Hitler, however missguided, meant to help his country. Our "Imperous leader" intends to destroy ours! God help us!

He's 6 years into the Presidency. Don't you think if he intended to destroy the country he would have accomplished it by now?  He's made some stupid decisions and some good decisions, just like any other President.  Most of the country felt about the same about GWB at this point in his presidency, and by the end of his term, people were just glad to see him go.  Yes, he is a Democrat and undoubtably, you hate Democrats, and most likely the next one will be Republican.  And 6 years into his term, people will be saying that he is trying to destroy the country.  No one will ever do it perfectly.

I think the difference is that Obama advertised in advance that he intended to fundamentally change the country, and thus the world.  I wonder if some of those who voted for him because of that promise, now knowing what he meant, might have buyers remorse.

As you know, I voted for him.  I don't know that I have "buyers remorse", but he hasn't lived up to my expectations.  He's made some dreadful mistakes, just like his predacessor.  I don't think he has "destroyed" the country, and I don't blame him for all of the bad changes in our society.  Things in this country have changed  for whatever reason, but to pin it all on one man doesn't seem very smart to me.   I don't think he has been smart in his appointments, i..e. Eric Holder, Hillary, Susan Rice. 

But, I think that the changes will continue despite whoever is elected in 2016.  We may end up with someone worse.

Those who do not remember....that only land owners voted during a healthier time in America.

When was that?  I know at one time only men could vote.  And there was a time when black people couldn't vote.  Land owners are becoming fewer and fewer in this country.  According to what I am reading, younger (than me) people, don't value home ownership the way they did in the past.

1790

Only white male adult property-owners have the right to vote.

1810

Last religious prerequisite for voting is eliminated.

1850

Property ownership and tax requirements eliminated by 1850. Almost all adult white males could vote.

1855

Connecticut adopts the nation's first literacy test for voting. Massachusetts follows suit in 1857. The tests were implemented to discriminate against Irish-Catholic immigrants.

1870

The 15th Amendment is passed. It gives former slaves the right to vote and protects the voting rights of adult male citizens of any race.

1889

Florida adopts a poll tax. Ten other southern states will implement poll taxes.

1890

Mississippi adopts a literacy test to keep African Americans from voting. Numerous other states—not just in the south—also establish literacy tests. However, the tests also exclude many whites from voting. To get around this, states add grandfather clauses that allow those who could vote before 1870, or their descendants, to vote regardless of literacy or tax qualifications.

1913

The 17th Amendment calls for members of the U.S. Senate to be elected directly by the people instead of State Legislatures.

1915

Oklahoma was the last state to append a grandfather clause to its literacy requirement (1910). In Guinn v. United States the Supreme Court rules that the clause is in conflict with the 15th Amendment, thereby outlawing literacy tests for federal elections.

1920

The 19th Amendment guarantees women's suffrage.

1924

Indian Citizenship Act grants all Native Americans the rights of citizenship, including the right to vote in federal elections.

1944

The Supreme Court outlaws "white primaries" in Smith v. Allwright (Texas). In Texas, and other states, primaries were conducted by private associations, which, by definion, could exclude whomever they chose. The Court declares the nomination process to be a public process bound by the terms of 15th Amendment.

1957

The first law to implement the 15th amendment, the Civil Rights Act, is passed. The Act set up the Civil Rights Commission—among its duties is to investigate voter discrimination.

1960

In Gomillion v. Lightfoot (Alabama) the Court outlaws "gerrymandering."

1961

The 23rd Amendment allows voters of the District of Columbia to participate in presidential elections.

1964

The 24th Amendment bans the poll tax as a requirement for voting in federal elections.

1965

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., mounts a voter registration drive in Selma, Alabama, to draw national attention to African-American voting rights.

1965

The Voting Rights Act protects the rights of minority voters and eliminates voting barriers such as the literacy test. The Act is expanded and renewed in 1970, 1975, and 1982.

1966

The Supreme Court, in Harper v. Virginia Board of Elections, eliminates the poll tax as a qualification for voting in any election. A poll tax was still in use in Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia.

1966

The Court upholds the Voting Rights Act in South Carolina v. Katzenbach.

1970

Literacy requirements are banned for five years by the 1970 renewal of the Voting Rights Act. At the time, eighteen states still have a literacy requirement in place. In Oregon v. Mitchell, the Court upholds the ban on literacy tests, which is made permanent in 1975. Judge Hugo Black, writing the court's opinion, cited the "long history of the discriminatory use of literacy tests to disenfranchise voters on account of their race" as the reason for their decision.

1971

The 26th amendment sets the minimum voting age at 18.

1972

In Dunn v. Blumstein, the Supreme Court declares that lengthy residence requirements for voting in state and local elections is unconstitutional and suggests that 30 days is an ample period.

1995

The Federal "Motor Voter Law" takes effect, making it easier to register to vote.

2003

Federal Voting Standards and Procedures Act requires states to streamline registration, voting, and other election procedures.

2013

In Shelby County v. Holder, the Supreme Court strikes down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act, which established a formula for Congress to use when determining if a state or voting jurisdiction requires prior approval before changing its voting laws. Under Section 5 of the act nine—mostly Southern—states with a history of discrimination must get clearance from Congress before changing voting rules to make sure racial minorities are not negatively affected. While the 5–4 decision did not invalidate Section 5, it made it toothless. Fallout from the ruling was swift, with several states quickly moving to change their voting laws.

Hoards of illegals are flooding across our border. Hundreds of kids are dispersed and hidden across the country by Homeland security! Almost none are deported. Do you really think he is inviting them over to cut the grass?

   As long as Homeland "Security" leaves the back door wide poen why fund them at all?

Great. Live in an apartment and you can't vote. But, you can volunteer for the service, fight, and possibly give your life for the landowners.

Or, hide the kids for 15 years and then have them register to vote. Maybe by then, the pin heads on the right will figure a way to be more inclusive and win the Presidency.
