America was once a prosperous country that was looked upon with envy by foreign nations. In the 1950s our economy was strong and the future looked promising. Our infrastructure was expanding and industrial production was booming. Clearly, we were on the right path. In the past, we produced over 90% of the goods we consumed. Our survival depended solely on the strength of our citizens—the way it should be.

It will probably get worse. Sodomy and baby killing aren’t the basis for a great Culture...

It’s a big chunk of real estate that has a nominal national identity, but not much else.

But we had a great run.

I think people who get the equivilant of $33,000 a year for doing absolutely nothing (and not having to justify their sloth) are perfectly happy.

At then end of some of my 16-19 hour days I feel like joining them instead of subsidizing them.

“Yet we still bring in refugees.”

They only call them refugees so they can get a full welfare ride. They’re actually colonists brought in to out breed the white folks.

Hope and Change!!

Young people vote in these Santa-Claus- No-Loads- Like Barry O. and find out this bum’s just blowing smoke!

The majority of available jobs are low pay, so now, every B.O. voter demands way higher minimum wage! They don’t understand anything about free markets, they only whine and complain about how things didn’t turn out so they could get life’s benefits handed to them on someone else’s dime!

Well, cry me river.........and while your at it; keep your hands out of my pockets......yeah, “Tell me Solutions, don’t tell me I’m the cause of your own Problems! In other words.........you wanted your Hope and Change, and - you got it! So quit your crying.......nobody cares!

The global economy and one world government for and by the elites. Part of the plan is / was to reduce America to third world economic status. I wonder if it is too late to reverse the damage.

I posted that rhetorical question 10 YEARS ago now....

The lefties might be trying to kill this nation.

“Maybe” they have succeeded, I don’t know.

I have two citizenships - one in heaven, and

one here on earth.

As long as I’m still here on earth, I choose to

LIVE AND THINK LIKE AN AMERICAN!!!

Trump is the only chance to turn things around. There is no one else in the entire GOP establishment that can get it started. America is finished and may never come back. King Obama, the communists black Muslim terrorists has seen to that and before we dump him he will have allowed more illegal migration. For ever one illegal we reduce our worth by thousands.

Trump for President. It will be hard since the entire Federal Government knows that Trump will kill their golden goose. They will destroy the only chance for recovery.

A week or so ago somebody posted a chart showing that the percentage of the GDP going to the working class was the lowest ever recorded. I wish I had saved it.
