The first thing you said what that we have more illegal aliens than the population of some other countries, and you've not gotten remotely any closer since.

Want to try again: I said, "Obama-Biden 2012, baby. Plus sweep of the Senate and House by Independents and Dems. Pull this country kicking and screaming, out of the hands of the anti-everything loons, and into the 21st century with the other big countries"
This is your second response (no answer) to the question of whether you knew what the unemployment % is in Ireland (it's pretty high).
Wiki is the definer of first world nations, copy. I will go and check that infallible resource to learn what some guy thinks first world means and where we stand in his opinion.
Well played.

Whinging away isn't a very good debate strategy. Once more:

I said, "Obama-Biden 2012, baby. Plus sweep of the Senate and House by Independents and Dems. Pull this country kicking and screaming, out of the hands of the anti-everything loons, and into the 21st century with the other big countries"

Now: if you want to debate that we are better off now than the "big countries", which I explained I meant as being "first world countries", as measured by "first world parameters", go head. Post your data and argument.

If you want to argue that the current GOP is not the following, as I explained, and is not intent upon taking us back to the 1800's as a country, go ahead: anti-women, anti-gay, anti-citizens of color, anti-immigrant, anti-education, anti-Medicare, anti-Social Security, anti-religious freedom for others, anti-environmental protection, anti-science, anti-labor, anti-worker, anti-help for poor or elderly, anti-current laws enabling freedom for others they don't like.

Research, data, proof and arguments are all pointless against faith. Faith is what you have and it cannot be deterred or proven false, never could, never will. You believe things to be true and therefore they are, there is no proving the alternative (even in theoretical) you are no different than Santorum, just the agenda and the deity.

What nonsense.

Our standing re: education, homelessness, quality of life, poverty, quality of healthcare, etc. is what it is measured to be among the other "big" countries, and we are behind, and have been for some time.

The Republicans have zero intention of advancing this country in any of those matters.

That has nothing at all to do with "faith".

Your failure to bring an argument to the table against those two statements has nothing to do with my "faith", in the least.
