Obama signals the end of American dominance

Not trying to bring anyone down, but I can easily see myself withdrawing from even being concerned about all of this, and just living day to day as best I can, trying to make my way through life, keeping a low profile so the troglodytes who are being ennobled by this bizarre administration won't kill me. Maybe I'm just in a bad mood tonight.

You're not alone.

I hope you’re right, and we all have to keep in mind that these things NEVER go as predicted. Something will gum up the works that no one foresees. I just hope he is revealed for what he is before things have gone too far.

Yeah, I know. My best friend called me tonight with only a few minutes to spare and we hardly got caught up, I spent the whole time howling about Obama. (He shares my politics and feelings.) And when he had to hang up, I was thinking "Is this going to be how I live my life from now on, listening to talk radio while I work, feeling bad the rest of the day, bellyaching about it in my leisure time?"

I look at what the dems are doing to this country, and I keep seeing the endless spending (and the repeated whining about how BUSH spent too much!) (he did, but they're making him look like a piker), and the huge deficits, and idiots like Noonan praising this CHILD as he giddily writes bad checks...

I dunno. I think it's all going to come crashing down at some point. I just think the media are so powerful that they control a large portion of our increasingly stupid electorate, and will keep this bunch in power in perpetuity. And how much of my life am I going to devote to being pissed off about something that won't change?

Sorry, venting again...

I don't mind the vent at all. You are saying what I am thinking.

I have three boys between the ages of 18-25 and I try to keep them informed of what is going on without making them too worried about the future. But so much has happened in the past few weeks I can't even begin to describe the implications to them in the few minutes their old dad gets in their busy, independent lives. (Thank God they grew up strong and smart.)

There are so many unknowns thrown into the works now that I am convinced that no person on earth knows what's going to happen.

What's that Chinese proverb? Are we living in "interesting" times or what? It's pretty easy to get depressed and worried, IMO.

I thought about it about an hour ago--great minds!

"May you live in interesting times." It's considered to be a curse.

The times are certainly interesting. We'll probably make it through this (he said optimistically) but it sure doesn't seem like it at the moment.

Cheers!

What's going on is the default implementation of chaos as public and foreign policy. The rubes in the white house are products of chaos. Their lives have been spent in chaos and they group think chaos should be OK for everyone else.

They are not leaders, politicians, or public servants. There is no logical consistency to anything they do. The Main Strem Media lauds and applauds every chaotic move as if it were 'brilliant strategy'.

The White House and the democrat congress are agents of chaos and it is going to get much worse if we don't get them gone asap. Visualize the chaos of removing part of the troops from Iraq - just enough to embolden the fanatics to come back and blow things up - including our troops.

Visualize printing paper money - enough to wall paper every house in the world - and every country, every currency, every economy suffers from our methods and madness.

We can't try and understand the chaos - all we can do is stop it asap.

Eventually, our agents of chaos will get us nuked by the Russians. They have endured enough chaos and don't want to see anymore of it and have the means to stop us.
