I guess the threat of a coup is kinda passed - but hey, I would watch that gun threat talk if I were you just the same. I am guessing that must violate some kind of posting agreement. However, don't despair, there is still time between now and Jan 20 for civil unrest, especially if things continue to degrade at the current pace.

Silly me, I really didnt think America would actually make a suicidal choice like Obama for president. I cant identity with anyone who would find anything redeeming in him or his spouse, or anyone associated with him. Fine. Okay, that opens another door.

I'm like George Soros now - he's the darling of liberals. Sorros funds uselful iditots who help to collpase the economy of democratic (and non-democratic) nations, then shorts the currency and makes his billions. I think I am like him because I am reading his actions and placing my bets accordingly. So, if I am off base in my views, then I will loose lots of money. But if I am correct in my analysis, then I will make money at the expense of every democrat party supporter, influenced by Soros and his propagandists. To reiterate from a previous post, a Democrat congress enabled the current economic collapse and crime spree, and these same criminals will not serve a day in jail, but will find appointed positions to cointinue the crime spree with the big Democratic win. Our monetary system will be worthless and (is) the laughing stock and curse of all nations,

Well, there is good news!

(Sorry, good news for me that is.) GM may be bankrupt by next year, or so I hear on the business news. The Christmas buying season shows every appearance of being crippled. In case you don't know, its the season where many industries get their revenues for the lion share of their business. So a crippled Christmas retail season would further destroy the nation's economy. The Dow will be 1000 if you are lucky. Good thing I made my bets.

Would people be angry if they read this schadenfreude over how republicans like me were taking them to the cleaners, laughing and mercilessly exploiting their fantasized political beliefs? I'd be pissed off if I were them. Do you think that they would be angry enough to riot? It wouldn't surprise me. I guess that brings us back to the need for the "army brigade" concept.

And dont think it couldnt happen here. Wasn't this part of the story of "Of Mice and Men" - anarchy and economic chaos in America? Okay, it was a fictionalized example from the depression era, but loosely based on facts of the Dust Bowl and forced migration of the "Okies".

Its not just about stocks, if I am right then you will loose your money (and jobs, and assets, and freedoms, and the future of your children is destroyed). When the smoke clears, maybe I should live in another country, like Soros does?

Wrong.
You're thinking of 'Grapes of Wrath', not 'Of Mice and Men'. You do get credit for both books being written by the same author, though.

Also, 'loose' is used as in 'my screws are loose', and 'lose' is used as in 'sometimes you win, sometimes you lose'.

Grammar Queen--just can't help myself...

Nah, if the economy tanks, and you loose your job, get the HECK out of the city and be a subsistance farmer.

Why do you think so many folks live in the Suburbs on 1-acre lots? If the squishy hits the fan, you can grow a goodly portion of what you need on your own property. Having a "Victory Garden" is KEY. It just shows good common sense.

What every human needs is shelter, food & water. Everything past that is EXTRA. If the squishy hits the fan, take care of the basics FIRST, the economy will bounce back eventually.

And stop playing the Stock Market, it's not a market, it's a freeking Shill Game. You get better odds in Las Vegas. Use your head.

great news! We have been attacked within the first year of nearly every admin change over. Having the army on hand will keep such plans not as workable. I had said in another thread that I thought that govenors should have their gaurd up and ready. As a Sercurity tech I knew that people have equipment to sniff for hostile subsences and track the person as we scaned for recognition. It frustrated me that a person could walk around in public with the things and never be called on it.

If you are a security tech, I'm worried. Ever hear of spellcheck? You should be able to spell the name of your own job, one would think...

I seem to remember Simtex as being VERY difficult to detect, both by dog and sniffer. There are things out there that can be made into explosives and end up smelling like orange bubble gum.

The only way to get rid of terrorists is to aim properly and give 'em a triple-tap. No prisoners. Then wrap the dead terrorist in a fresh pig skin in front of witnesses and bury him/her somewhere off in the desert, unmarked grave.

If you think that's harsh, you should have known General Jack Pershing...he's the reason the mideast was relatively quiet for half a century...because he did things like the above. Know your enemy, know what he is frightened to death of, and then become it. It keeps the peace.

Spellcheck is for people who do not want others to see they are human. I am too perfect in all other ways I think I need to have a mistake once in a while or people will not read/like me.
ICCE Black Box with bigcam intergration of sniffer and pup trac is what you should use if you want to be as safe as chem/tech posible. The reason you track the person not arrest them on the spot is no thing is perfect.

I explained to a gal at work yesterday about why all this stuff about Obama can't be true. I told her all the stuff we all know, that if he was pals with terrorist, was a socialist, that no one had seen his birth certificate so it's unknown where he was born, that he'd never be able to get a clearance, and he will have the highest clearance possible.


Yes its true...he is pals with a terrorist...wants to redistribute wealth...(what would you call that? Free enterprise?) true...has never shown birth certificate and we believe he was born in Kenya...Believe it or not...he cannot get a clearance to be an FBI or a CIA agent..but was able to muttle thru to the presidency...There are Shadow Powers at work here...BUt if I mention what Im talking about...they will take me off...

I know its hard to digest...but something ugly is going on here...pretty freaky stuff..



AGREED! I've been spouting this on other threads for months. Its ridiculous to think that in THIS COUNTRY, run by WHITE MEN, that a BLACK MAN with ACTUAL ties to TERRORIST, a real plan for SOCIALISM who's HIDING HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE wouldn't have made as far as the SENATE DOOR, let alone become a senator, let ALONE PRESIDENT!!! I told one person this and said that if this were possible what does that say about US as a so-called SUPER POWER? Ridiculous. And sad that people are so controlled by fear AND HATE that they've become BLINDED to facts, proof and TRUTH. Rant finished.


It has nothing to do with fear and hate as it has to do with fact...

YOu must remember this most important fact...All the presidents as far back as Carter and maybe even before...Every Single One of Them...Even Reagan are all part of a group that is working towards a One World Government..

I think you will be very disturbed about what is coming to us ...Why do you think they have infiltrated all our schools and filled our children with all this global crap and have tried to take away their love for their own country? Some are now of voting age...This is the most dangerous part....Using Global Warming Lie as a scare tactic...freaking out the populace...We can all be scared and try to deny this...but sorry folks...its a true fact. Bad things are coming and Obama has his people looking at him like love sick groupies..sheeples ready for the slaughter.

Define 'Pals'.
Define 'Redistribute wealth'.

The birth certificate has been researched ad nauseum; it's legit. Accept it.

Obama 'muttled' through to become president?
Define 'muttle'.

'Shadow Powers at work...' If you mention what you're talking about 'they' will 'take you off'? That doesn't sound at all paranoid.

Who is 'they' who have 'infiltrated' schools? 'Global crap'?

For the first time in years, we have the opportunity to start fresh in the Middle East. We have the ability to regain the fine reputation America used to be proud of. We have a president-elect who brings a sense of humor and openness to the White House, and all you can talk about are 'shadow powers' and some undefined 'they'.

There isn't enough tin foil in the world...

And what bunch of blooming idiots just sat around and watched him do this?
Our good Representatives and Senators?

I would not put it above George Bush to suspend elections or the transfer of power.
The man does tip his hand in preparations for the big snafus that eventually follow.
Lord only knows what Georgie has planned. A few years back there was talk of the formation of some worldwide council of nations where Bush envisioned himself being named President after his terms in the U.S., with final control over all member nations, including the U.S.

I wonder how that's all going?

I did find it interesting how many Republicans voted against Bush's bailout today. Maybe they know something...


Hate to burst your bubble.....but the congress holds the purse strings of America...George Bush cannot do anything with out the congress behind it...

Remember...two MAJORITY STOCK HOLDERS OF AIG... Are Democrate Nancy Pelousi and JOhn Kerry....Do you think that might have influenced a bail our for AIG and not Leman Bros? Ya think?

Hate to burst your bubble again but.....there is a shadow government that has been in place for years and George Bush and every single other president I know since Jimmy Carter and probably some before...Yes...even our Ronald Regan are ALL A PART OF THIS New World Order...

Sorry to burst your bubble again...but....McCain, Biden and Obama are also a part of this concept...New World Order...Yes..they are a member of the club...I saw them listed as members...Just listen to Obamas Berlin Speach he made...He never talked like that here in America as I am sure he would have not been voted in...

Hate to burst your bubble again..but Sara Palin was the only one not involved in the New World Order gang...

You need to stop just focusing on Bush and look at the broader picture...It is a very big picture..but the propagandist want you to focus on only Bush so you wont see them...

Investigate for yourself.

Gee....maybe you are muslim? Or maybe one of the "shadow' people? Who knows.

You say you work.....when? Your always on here in the forums..constantly...Hmm. curious.

Define Redistriute Wealth? You must be the only one who doesnt know what that means..

He has never shown a birth certificate....There is a law suit pending...a law suit that was put against Obama by a fellow Democrate..

Hawaii has sealed up the birth records in Hawaii after Obamas trip to see his grandmother....where have you been?

Gee? Are you serious? Are you really freaking serious? YOu have no idea at your age that things are different here in America...You are older than I if I remember correctly...thats if you have lived here all your life and went to school here...then you would remember how we were taught verses how children are taught today...Thats if you were an American all your life...Hmm. curious.

Really...must you always act like you dont know...when I know you do...your just trying to confuse things.

Or you are just one of those bowl of cherries people who refuse to see anything that bothers them and always tries to make lemonaide out of lemons...not a bad thing...but not very realistic.

I guess we will see what happens with our new presidente...Too much controversy around him for me to be comfortable...especially being white..I remember his white hating pastor he listened to for 20 years..That pastor has nothing to do with real Christian beliefs and thats part of what bothers me...I have NEVER heard that kind of talk in my whole life of going to church..NOT EVER! I cant believe that wouldnt bother a white person...

Remember..Im not the prejucice one here...I am just concerned...so dont try to twist my words into meaning something else..That happens alot on these forums by the Libs.

And...my job is important because...??? Why be curious about my work? Deflect much?

I know what I think it means--I asked for YOUR definition. Got one?



He has never shown a birth certificate....There is a law suit pending...a law suit that was put against Obama by a fellow Democrate..

Not sure what a 'Democrate' is--something to hold Democrats in?
He's shown his birth certificate.



Hawaii has sealed up the birth records in Hawaii after Obamas trip to see his grandmother....where have you been?

Where have I been? Why? Did I miss the black helicopters?



Gee? Are you serious? Are you really freaking serious?

Xenophobic much?
Of course I'm serious. I'm asking you to answer questions about things YOU bring to this board. Thus far, nothing.
"...how we were taught verses how children are taught today..."
Verses? My mother taught me verses--and I did memorize that poem about Paul Revere when I was in the fifth grade.
I know how children are taught in school today--I've spent the past 25 years working in public education.

Know what I find curious? That you question my religion, and then you question my citizenship. Hmmmm....



Really...must you always act like you dont know...when I know you do...your just trying to confuse things.

Or you are just one of those bowl of cherries people who refuse to see anything that bothers them and always tries to make lemonaide out of lemons...not a bad thing...but not very realistic.

You don't know crap about what I know--If I'm asking you questions, it's because I want to know YOUR answers. Period.
Believe me, I have a list of things that 'bother' me:
bigots
racists
discrimination
dogs that bark at night
See? Things bother me.

I cant believe that wouldnt bother a white person...


Hmmm...'presidente'...maybe YOU weren't born here? Maybe we should take a gander at YOUR birth certificate...? Hmmm?

So, you are the epitome of Christian beliefs? THAT, I find very frightening.



Remember..Im not the prejucice one here...I am just concerned...so dont try to twist my words into meaning something else..That happens alot on these forums by the Libs.

From where I sit, 'prejudiced' = 'concerned'.
I'm not twisting your words--I am inquiring about them.
If you can't stand behind what you post, that's on you.
If you can't answer my questions, perhaps you want to rethink some of your positions.

I asked that because you are so excited about connecting with the muslims in countries where they will always hate us...but Im sure that would be nice if possible..but Im not holding my breath..and I do not want to change my country to appease their religion as I have seen others hint to...


You say you work.....when? Your always on here in the forums..constantly...Hmm. curious
[


And...my job is important because...??? Why be curious about my work? Deflect much?


Probably because you are always on here no matter when I am..Its just weird..do you post from your job too? I just wondered...Pretty defensive arent you..

REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH.... We have played these words games many times on other threads...it seems you just like to stir things instead of conversation that consists of true exchanges that make sense..You always act like you dont know what we are saying ...even though we have made our point MULTIPLE times..Im just tired of your tactics I guess. You know what REDISTRIBUTION of wealth is...everyone knows except you? It can only mean one thing...

How come there are so many socialist and communist in the Democrat party? Feel free to google for yourself. I already have.

Birth certificate......then if he has shown his birth certificate...how come one of his fellow democrats are suing him....how come so many people are bothered by this...Just because YOU say all is well...we are supposed to ignore the facts and just believe you...all rested and assured? There are facts AGAINST him...Well...some of us like to have hard core proof...It is an attrocity that this has not been delt with...and it has been obviously swept under the rug...Like I said..I think we are in for a surprise...You think Bush was bad...WOW... but in all reality...I HOPE I AM WRONG.. I truly do..but dont be so snide just because I do not agree with you..We almost NEVER agree on anything...just like others and I dont agree..but we get along and just agree to disagree..

Do you remember how we were taught VS how children are taught today.


I know how children are taught in school today--I've spent the past 25 years working in public education.


With your views...your liberal views..I would say that thats the problem with the school system today...sorry..but thats how I and many others see it....Why would the Teachers asso.. support the no on Prop 8 with all that money? What right do they have to use the money for anything to do with politics...It so happens that alot of the teachers do not agree...but they had no voice in where their money would be spent..


Know what I find curious? That you question my religion, and then you question my citizenship. Hmmmm....


I question you only because of your posts...My observations. The very things you say? And perhaps how upset you got over that...big deal.


Believe me, I have a list of things that 'bother' me:
bigots
racists
discrimination
dogs that bark at night
See? Things bother me.


Yep...I have that same list...Exactly...I feel just like you do!!! Just the same!!! So.So,


you are the epitome of Christian beliefs? THAT, I find very frightening.

So that we understand one another:
Can you show me where I am "so excited about connecting with the muslims in countries where they will always hate us"?

The fact that I seem to be here when you are is conincidence. I am not at all defensive about my career--I love it and am proud of what I do.

The problem with schools today, in my opinion, is that teachers have lost much of the respect they once had. This is evidenced in the behavior of students, and in the lack of contact parents have with teachers. Students need to be held accountable for their choices, especially when those choices infringe on another student's education.
My 'liberal' view is that our students need to experience a semester in a Japanese school.


I question you only because of your posts...My observations. The very things you say? And perhaps how upset you got over that...big deal.


I wasn't upset, but I was being sarcastic.
If I am Muslim, it doesn't take anything away from you. If I was born in another country, it takes nothing away from you. Surmising on my religion and citizenship seems xenophobic and a touch paranoid. And, again, I wonder why that is germain. As I said, deflection.

And this,
LOL...and your not?
, in regard to you being the epitome of Christian behavior made me laugh out loud. When have you seen me post that I am a Christian? Or a Muslim? Or Jewish? You haven't, therefore, it makes your retort moot.

And...I'm still waiting for your explanation.

Private military? Are you talking about Blackwater? No wait that has republican ties.

Your comment is all the more amusing because if you go back a little, you can your posts supporting Obama. it appears the old race baiting rumors came through for you and the Republican party.

Anyway, anybody thinks they can take on the US military with a few rifles and ammo doesn't know what they're talking about, you should be stocking up on fertilizer and diesel fuel. You know, like the last good christian terrorist who killed a shitload of US government officials.

This topic certainly went off the tracks...

A good teacher doesn't have to defend his/her ability to teach; the proof is in the product. Teaching isn't a 1:1 ratio--it requires parents, student, teacher, and community.
I've certainly worked in classrooms with teachers who were 'cookie cutter' in their approach to education. It doesn't appeal to me, and it doesn't stimulate students to learn--or to even be curious.

I work now with a man who is, I believe, a master educator. I watch him on a daily basis go where the kids lead. He always loops back around to the subject, but he is fearless about having his students research, question, debate, and argue if it means that they leave his classroom knowing more than when they came in.

As for parents not supporting their children as students; sometimes it's impossible. Some of our children come from homes where there are no books for reference, parents have little/no education themselves, and one huge stumbling block for my students--parents don't sign. Impossible to have a discussion about anything when you don't share a common language fluently.

this is becoming way off topic...


I'm not stirring anything; I am asking for your definition. Who is this 'we'? I am asking YOU. If you can't answer, just say so. Nothing wrong with not knowing.


The 'we' is you and I...We have been through this in other forums...I explain things..how I feell....what I mean...and you always come up with some answer as if you didnt get what I said...Im tired of constantly repeating my self..In another thread..another poster even told you that I was perfectly clear in what I was telling you..but you keep up with this stuff...

Such as Redistribution of Wealth....What do you think I mean...The words explain their selves..I dont need to say any more. all of American has been talking about 'Redistribution of Wealth' for weeks...What do you think it means...this is utterly rediculous.


The problem with schools today, in my opinion, is that teachers have lost much of the respect they once had. This is evidenced in the behavior of students, and in the lack of contact parents have with teachers. Students need to be held accountable for their choices, especially when those choices infringe on another student's education.
My 'liberal' view is that our students need to experience a semester in a Japanese school.


I totally agree with you on this..and my heart goes out to teachers these days.. (WOW..we can agree on something..Well thats a good start in peaceful negotiations. LOL) Just being funny...but it is nice. When my children were young..I was very involved..I was room mother many years...Involved in many sports with the kids...I have definatly noticed that at times...few parents would come to anything. even the sports events...It broke my heart for the kids who never had a parent there for them..I was on the swim team when I was young..No one came to see me either...It sucked..
I believe with the new feminist thinking and mothers not home...working..coming home..having to cook dinner...do homework etc..busy busy busy...all for money..I dont think the trade off is worth it...I stayed home with my kids..You can most of the time do it if you will make sacrifices...but thats another story.

My asking you if you are Muslim was only a question due to some of your answers not only here but in other threads...You are ALWAYS so quick to run down Christians..but always beholding to muslims. Just an observation..Im sure you cannot deny that little fact.


in regard to you being the epitome of Christian behavior made me laugh out loud.


See...you always attack my religion time and time again...

So does that make you a xenophobic as well? This comment is 'germain' to this entire conversation. Well now that you have read my 'epitone'...I guess we can move on the the subject at hand... We are off topic and I want to get back to that...

If you wish...contact me on my email and we can continue this conversation..I have no problem with that... O.K.? But we are sorely off topic.

Take Care..

Why is a U.S. Army brigade being assigned to the Homeland?

Can you site an example of where I ran down Christians? And, while you're at it, an example of where I am 'beholding' to Muslims? As it is your observation, yes, I can indeed deny that 'fact'.

I was not attacking your religion; I was responding to you asking me if I thought that I was the epitome of Christian behavior. Go back and read it again--I did not, nor would I, attack your religion. My mother was the epitome of Christian behavior.

No idea what your 'epitone' is.

In regard to the 'new feminist thinking' and mothers not being at home: I can regale you with hours of stories about why so many mothers work. It doesn't have as much to do with being fulfilled, as it does simply putting food on the table. Nothing too glamorous about working the night shift at WalMart, or 7/11. Those mothers who are in the position of having to work, thereby taking time away from their children, have my heart and support. I don't envy them the phone calls from school, or asking to take time off for a parent/teacher conference.

And, last: while you think you are being clear, and that I am being deliberately obtuse, I assure you neither is true. I ask for your definition for redistribution of wealth because you seem so adamant that Obama is going to take something away from you. I want to understand that mindset.

There isn't enough tin foil in the world...

Of course I'm serious. I'm asking you to answer questions about things YOU bring to this board. Thus far, nothing.

Xenophobic much?

You don't know crap about what I know

So, you are the epitome of Christian beliefs? THAT, I find very frightening

If you can't stand behind what you post, that's on you.
If you can't answer my questions, perhaps you want to rethink some of your positions.

Surmising on my religion and citizenship seems xenophobic and a touch paranoid.

Let's see. I've cherry picked from the list of insulting, snide retorts, Ms Geeleebee. It's no wonder the girl is perhaps a little intimidated. I, on the other hand, am not.

You're being intentionally insulting, sarcastic, snide, and are attempting to poke fun and slur. If you claim you are not, then I would suggest having someone else analyze your retorts because that's how you come off to me -- perhaps you might choose someone who is not normally backing you up politically when you get your second opinion on how you come across.

Personally, were it me you were engaging, I would absolutely ignore you at this point. And I hope that Musicianfriend does exactly this in the future.

Now, as for the definition you are demanding; let's take a look at that, shall we?

Redistribution of wealth from Obama's mouth to my lips and back again. Here goes:

Succinctly speaking, Obama wants very much to play Robinhood to the poor. He'll take from the rich and give to the poor, and those making less than umm... 250,000 dollars, is that about right? Well, if isn't, my bad. So sad. You can always wiki it if that doesn't please you.


The transfer of wealth can occur in various ways, which may or may not be voluntary. In political discourse, redistribution of wealth commonly refers to removing the wealth from the wealthy and redistributing it to the more disadvantaged members of society, "taking from the rich to give to the poor."

All political and economic systems facilitate the redistribution of wealth including capitalism, communism and socialism; however the favored method of redistribution varies from system to system. Capitalism relies primarily on the more or less voluntary purchase and sale of goods and services, whereas communism and socialism typically use involuntary methods such as taxation and nationalization of property. Such as our new president's policies of taxing the hard workers and tax cuts for the less wealthy.


There now. Happy? You can quit picking on the lady anytime now, fair enough?

Good. She's far too nice to be taking crap like this from you.

Since I am not engaging you, I suggest you do ignore me.
I didn't ask about your definition for anything, so you wasted your time replying to a question that was asked of another member.

I can't think of a single reason why I should care how I 'come off' to you, or why I should have anyone 'analyze' anything I post here. I sincerely do not care how you perceive me, but I am totally intrigued by you answering a question that was not intended for you.

I was not 'picking' on anyone, but honestly asking to have another member define something that she brought up. This was clear, when I said this:

So, thanks for playing--there are some lovely parting gifts waiting for you backstage.

Wow, I turn around and there is like 9000 more comments here. :-)



Nah, if the economy tanks, and you loose your job, get the HECK out of the city and be a subsistance farmer.


Actually, I have investigated a form of substance gardening. Kind of hi-tech version of it on a much smaller foot print than you would imagine. I have built a greenhouse for hydroponic plants. Hydroponics requires some of special kinds of fertilizers, chemicals and good water filters. There are some costs involved. The greenhouse I built from scrap lumber left over from the people who built my condo. The next stage of my work was to move into aquaponics, which couples small scale fish production with hydroponics to recycle the water. You create fish, plants, recycle the water and dont use chemical fertilizers, but do use fish food to drive the process. I was pre-med at one time, but that is as close as I came to the science, biology and chemistry to make something like that work. I would have to go back to school and learn fish farming. It is done elsewhere, however, even places that formerly were starving. But there is good logic in your advice, perhaps fish farming would be a more marketable skill than what I do now in the coming post-Obama election economic apocalypse.



Grapes of Wrath
That was a glaring error, apologies to all. Glad you caught it, otherwise POF forum readers would be corrupted by my Steinbeck confusion. I should have remembered that, but it was long ago and far away.



loose, lose,loosely

Another useful correction. I must pay more attention to detail (and increase the font size on this laptop). You may have actually given me motivation to use a book I got recently. I buy my books used at my local library, they liquidate for less than pennies on the dollar. So, I snagged a "Webster's Writer's Dictionary". I had never seen one before. I got it because I like to write, and having it on the shelf made me think I was a better writer, along with the dictionary, thesaurus, and Bartlett's Quotations. It goes to the usage of words, when and where, best usage, etc. I should open it up sometime.

I meant this remark above be a kind of a joke, sort of.

Now I am not joking. I rescued my investments by getting out while reading the tsunami of nonstop bad economic and political choices. I take no pleasure in telling readers that all indicators point to our economic situation getting very, very serious, and soon. (Gotta love that instant networked Internet communications). A headline this morning: "US Slump May Be Longest in Three Decades, Economy 'Fell Off a Cliff'" Those of you who have not been in a serious downturn, you will not forget this chapter of your lives. Its with the same fondness that I remember Jimmy Carter, the worst president in history.

Actually Carter wasn't just a bad chapter, but more like many bad chapters. Up until now he wrote the book on childish and embarrassing presidential decisions. Like JFK telling the world that we are all "Berliners" now (free peoples who want to carry the burden of people trapped by a communist dictatorship in East Berlin) - I say we are all "Carters" now, having chose to install and collude with leaders who favor the needs of our competitors and enemies over our citizens, appointing criminals and failures to guide and exacerbate our economic futures. And you wonder why I am betting against you? Jeeze, you make it too easy.

Let me tie this together in a way that people might not be thinking. You remmber that collapse of that bridge, the I-35 bridge, into that river? Came from out of the blue. Nobody really suspected it was that weak and, boom, down it went, 13 people dead. I bet that of all the things you could die from, a collapsing superhighway bridge would have been their last guess that day. But it happened.

With the same blissful cluelessness that these folks were speeding down the highway, I see Obama supporters blissfully unaware whats waiting for them. What happens when the money runs out and no real police to protect you and your fictional entitlements? Hell would freeze over before I would identify with willing traitors (modern democrats). Is your house burning down and you want my help to put it out? Thats too bad, traitors dont deserve any help. Hey, wait, you are democrat, yes? Okay then, you dont deserve to have any assets or freedom in this country - get out of your house and leave everything of value to me, a true citizen. I am claiming your assets as my own. (Who is going to stop me from taking all your assets? Certainly not a nation of pacifists and their ilk).

How do you like this vision of the future? You are so close to it, it aint funny. It might be easier to be Jew in Nazi Germany that a democrat in post-Obama America. I am not wrong about this conclusion, just not sure when it will happen. I bet you are wondering which side of this the military will side with, the people who stab them in the back, root for their deaths, or their supporters. Jeeze, you have to wonder about that? Your place in future Darwin Awards is guaranteed.
