Holy crap.
This is both incredibly embarrassing and scary at the same time.
I know that everybody thinks this time that they live in is the most tumultuous and dangerous in history.
But I think any student of history would have to look at this time and think there looks to be a confluence of large events of the type that are historically significant, and have plenty of historical precedents.
There is a shift of power going on in the world right now. There are many people around the globe who wish for a world without American influence. They may get their wish, and they may find out (to their liberal chagrin) that there are things out there that are a lot worse than America.
There is a big money issue. We’re broke. And there isn’t anybody interested in fixing it. So, in our lifetimes, we may well see the wealthiest nation in history have a financial implosion.
Never mind what’s going on over the Middle East.
So, yeah. I do think these are historic times we are living in. I think they are significant, and I feel pretty strongly that history will see it the same way.
And in the middle of all this, we have an incompetent fraud who, by the way, is also malevolent.
“We don’t have a plan.”
“They aren’t our enemies.”
“...don’t even think about messing around in...”
That last line. In dangerous, frightening, and significant times, our government issues ghetto-speak.
It isn’t even amusing. I find it alarming.
“It isn’t even amusing. I find it alarming.”
Agreed. But I think a lot of Freepers react with gallows humor. I know I do a lot of the time. They know the seriousness of what’s going on in this world.
A more informed group of knuckleheads you’ll never meet! :)
Don't forget the media's role in this debacle.
Obama is a totally manufactured persona. We only know about him what he has told us. He had a non-event Senate and State Senate career. No one seemed to know him well. All the unknowns and shady goings on, no media curiosity. He could never have done it without their help.
