...And sadly if this false messiah gets in, he will plant the seeds for another civil war.
Why? Jimmy Carter, as bad as he is, came into Washington as an "outsider". Anyone who reads his memoirs or knows about that time, knows that Carter had an EXTREMELY short "honeymoon" with his overwhelmingly Democrat Congress. He began to piss them off ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.
Now, B. Hussein Obama and Nancy Pelosi are peas in a pod idealogically speaking. And Dingy Harry Reid is a dutiful follower...he just goes along with whatever his "leadership" tell him to do. As long as he gets to scowl, Reid is happy.
So get ready for Socialism on Steroids...if the worst happens.
Costa Rica is the most stable country in Central America. The real estate laws provide for actual title transfer unlike Mexico and they like Americans (somewhere between 80 and 100 thousand Americans live in Costa Rica). I have visited often prices for real estate range from expensive for developed beach front to down right cheap if you are willing to go for something more remote.
"Preakness Pool" anyone?
The only way there will be blood in the streets is if McCain wins. Tell me ONE time there has ever been a Republican "riot". JUST ONE.
NEVER.
Now think of the times the dems have rioted. And the damage they've done. And the buildings they've burned. WE DON'T ACT LIKE CRIMINALS. THEY DO.
WHO CHEATS THE VOTE? THEY DO.
WHO BURNS CITIES? THEY DO.
Costa Rica is unable to defend itself.
If Obama is elected, I expect him to wind down our support for Columbia, and Venezuela will get basically get a “green light” to undermine countries throughout the region.
Central America will become unstable with small and growing insurgencies supported by Chavez on the “Bolivaran” model.
There can be little doubt, given his background, that Obama was a strong supporter of the Sandinistas.
I don’t know about protecting one’s family, but I’m moving every dollar I can info tax free investments to help starve the cancer of liberal marxism.
I will also be asking for a pay decrease to get below the new higher tax rates. What’s the point of striving to be better at work when 50%+ of any increase will vanish in taxes. It’s not worth it. Better to be a slacker.
"The tree of liberty, from time to time, must be replenished with the blood of patriots." --Thomas Jefferson
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" --Patrick Henry
The tree of liberty must be watered periodically with the blood of tyrants and patriots alike. It is its natural manure. --Thomas Jefferson
The price of liberty is, always has been, and always will be blood: The person who is not willing to die for his liberty has already lost it to the first scoundrel who is willing to risk dying to violate that person's liberty! Are you free? --Andrew Ford
If the price I must pay for my freedom is to acknowledge that the government was granted the power to infringe on them, then I am not free. --Pol Anderson
Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the Peoples' Liberty's Teeth. --George Washington
These lyrics say it for me: http://www.lyricsdepot.com/john-parr/st-elmos-fire.html
“—amnesty and fast-track citizenship for the illegals”
That is one of the worst outcomes, and will happen with either Obama or McCain.
Look for the RATS to rig things so that they NEVER lose power again.
Plus you had in the Carter years those Dems that were conservitive, who latter become Reagan Democrats who were not in lockstep with their lib counterparts. True we have what are called “blue dog” Dems, but many have sadly been silenced by the radical libs.
Also the real conservitive Dems ended up being driven OUT.
Join with Democrats, be part of the problem and get rich.
What is “Preakness Pool” ?
Something remote sounds good.
good points all, biggirl.
Even if they attempt to seize our guns?
The first amendment is the first because it is the most important to a democracy.
They know this.
Maybe you and your employer could work out some form of tax exempt compensation.
If Obama loses and I have heard James Carville say it last week, there will be riots. But those riots will not last long, because the rioters would be met with a superior force, police swat teams and the NG.
Kind of reminds me of the movie “Red Dawn,” except that it is happening from within.
“So, anyone have suggestions on how we protect ourselves, our wealth, and our families
from a socialist government for the next generation?”
Tax Revolt?! They can’t do any of it without our money!
