My conspiracy theory is that when the Democrats took over Congress 4 years ago they did everything in their power too screw up the Bush Presidency as well as screwing the soldiers fighting the Wars .. They ended up screwing all the American people in the process.
The only flaw in that theory is the idea that Democrats screwed us up as an accidental consequence of trying to screw up Bush et al.
The fact is Democrats, especially Obama, DELIBERATELY sought to harm the economy, and force people to become more dependent on the government.
Their mistake was in believing we are bunch of wimpy Europeans and would just take it, instead of rising up and fighting back.
