U.S. To Become "Banana Republic," Says Senator

According to Senator Judd Gregg (R-N.H.), the United States is on its way to becoming a “banana republic” within 10 years.

Wikipedia defines a banana republic as “a country that is politically unstable, dependent on limited agriculture (e.g., bananas), and ruled by a small, self-elected, wealthy and corrupt elite.” Such nations have “a small, leisurely class on the top, and a large, poorly educated and poorly paid working class of peons, though it might have the (fake) trappings of modernity (such as styling itself as a republic with a president, etc.).”

A banana republic “typically has large wealth inequities, poor infrastructure, poor schools, a ‘backward’ economy, low capital spending, reliance on foreign capital and money printing, budget deficits, and a weakening currency. Banana republics are typically also highly prone to revolutions and coups.”

He’s right.

But he is voting for Sotamayor - friend of La Raza and MALDEF. Wake up!

[Bryanw92]

He’s wrong....it won’t take 10 years.

He shares this as he is voting for sotmayer on his way out the door to collect his plush pension package. Turd.

Don’t you just love these people saying things; but never offering a solution. So like our Congress.

And thanks so much, Judd, for making it happen faster...

Yep, with justices like Dadomayor, it sure will. Wait, didn’t you just say you would vote for the bigot? Never mind ...

[RummyChick]

A picture like this needs to be done of Obama...I am sure someone can think of something clever to put in the card.
I wonder what Warner Brothers thinks of all of this..who knew Heath Ledger would become the face used in a rallying cry.

[grey_whiskers]

This explains why he's voting for a "wise Latina" -- the coward is trying to suck up to the masses early.

Cheers!

The New American is the magazine of the John Birch Society. Is Senator Gregg also possessed of a wide variety of other theories as to the Bilderbergers, the Trilaterals, the CFR, Jeckyl Island, the Fed and what not? The inclusion of this article in the magazine suggests that Senator Gregg is keeping unaccustomed company. I don’t think he is anxious to be a running mate of paleoPaulie or a lap dog for Al Qaeda but, hey, maybe I am wrong.

I prefer Hamburger Republic. Featuring Prime beef on the hoof to an empty promise of bananas.

We have had enough empty promises and commitments which will destroy the US of A well before 10 years.

[353FMG]

We got a banana in the WH, what do you expect?

No, he’s wrong, we don’t have enough bananas.
