To think how far we've come and sunk at the same time. We have an African American for a President, serving a second term, who less than 48 hours after a 16-day battle to get a credit approval, sends $1.6 billion to a country that housed the perpetrator of the largest foreign attack on U.S. soil, killing almost 3 times as many as were killed at Pearl Harbor.
rosa parks didn't succeed in setting back civil rights by refusing to sit in the back of the bus. your analogy doesn't hold. you really need to come up with one where someone did actual damage to their stated cause by their actions.

you need something along the lines of setting your house on fire to clean it.

How about offering a couple grand to crush a usable car/truck so those who can't afford new cars/trucks get to pick up the slack buying used vehicles at an increased/artificial price?

How sad that the world is laughing at the United States ,
While we sit by and watch and wonder what will happen next!

"This one nails it perfectly."

President Obama's approval ratings are so low now, the Kenyans Are accusing him of being born in the United States.
