Personally I think he should give them medals and cash prizes.
The one that says "Zot" in the title?
Yep. But not for that, for the content of the post. He was just being prescient...
It’s far worse now. Economically, it was not good, however, most were equally strapped. Seen the 70’s show? High style! Mod houses looked like the set, traditional ones were a bit different, but mostly the same hideous colors!
No internet, so most didn’t really know how big an idiot Carter was. It was more of a ‘feeling’, but no 24/7 analysis.
Also, even Carter was not so deliberately provocative as is our Dear Leader.
Didn’t know of people stockpiling food and buying PM’s. Dollar was stronger then. Now, we’ve not got a cushion, unless you subscribe to the ‘US fiat is less crappy than most other fiat currency’ point of view.
Bush’s AGAG...Atty Gen Alberto Gonzales was just as bad.
Just we US citizens are put to death for our crimes...can’t upset the 3rd world bureaucrats south of the border.
Obama ordered this--let's make no mistake about that.
Obama/Rahm/Axelrod/Jarrett, and the rest of the "progressive" WH crooks are purposefully antagonizing large groups in middle America, goading us into civil unrest.
This would give them an excuse to declare Martial Law. Obama gave ACORN billions to form a Civilian Security Force to silence the populace, and march us to reeducation camps.

Yes, Obama & Holder are wrong. But the precident for this nonsense was set by Bush.
if you want to get positively baseline about it, you could say that Medellin v. Texas is an ironic case which has seen George W. Bush go out of his way to provide due process protections to a Mexican national - a convicted killer, no less - after failing or refusing for years to show any concern at all for the rights of homegrown prisoners. There are no doubt hundreds of men on death row in America right now who are saying to themselves: Why Medellin and not me? Why can’t I get the president to intercede on my behalf?
Why, indeed. The justices Wednesday went way beyond their self-imposed one-hour time limit for oral argument trying to figure out whether the president has the authority to order the state courts of Texas to provide a new round of appellate review to a man named Jose E. Medellin, a Mexican national who was charged with murder in 1993 and then convicted and sentenced to death a year later.
The White House says that the state courts must respect a ruling by the International Court of Justice that declared in 2004 that Medellin upon his arrest was deprived of his right to confer with consular officials. Texas says that both the president and the international court ought to butt out of what has traditionally been the province of the states - capital cases, remember, almost always are brought by state prosecutors before state juries and judges.[snip]
