As I sit back and read the repetitive letters declaring how terrible President Obama is and has been and will continue to be ... the comparisons to Hitler, calling him a socialist, calling for impeachment, saying that he is less patriotic or less religious conservatives, or that he’s not a Christian at all but am Al Qaeda trained spy that is secretly Muslim and wants to destroy America.

I think it’s fair to say Cumberland is a very conservative town, so us liberals who do choose to speak out, (far less liberals than conservatives) are called unpatriotic, or socialist, communist’s and so forth.

However I cannot help but notice that nearly all letters condemning the president or just disagreeing with him, there are a list of complaint but not one new idea. The conservative party is in shambles they have no true political leader, there is no direction!

How about this: We have spent the last year digging a financial hole that has never been seen before (this was before Obama), we engaged in two wars that are costing us dead soldiers everyday and increasing a war deficit never before seen, how about the lack of response in the Ninth Ward (in Louisiana) after hurricane Katrina?, or the outing of a CIA agent, or Blackwater?

It seems as if conservatives fell and bumped their heads and have a case of selective amnesia, it also seems to be affecting their creativity level as well.
