Shake off the malaise! The world will look so much brighter in just a mere four months.
VDH ping.
Not until NOV and the Dums re gone, Then we can laugh and dance again.
State of mind, or a committed drumbeat campaign to demoralize us and make us believe in the inevitability? A lot of the dismal crap is manufactured to get Americans to believe that the “can do” attitude has died. After a while perception becomes reality and that’s what the dark forces are counting on.
Oh sure, all this chaos and undermining of our economy and our national security is all simply a state of our mind?
We can deem the disaster in the Gulf ‘all cleaned up’.
All in in November, It truly may be now or never.
The choice was made in Nov 2008.
The destruction is well under way and I don't think we're going to return to "business as usual" by electing some better people next time.
Thank you for the encouragement, Victor. It comes at a very good time.
The problem is that there is now a LARGE portion of the population that WANTS American decline. Either because they have been feed Marxist crap for the last 40 years via the “education” system, or because they think they will profit (money and/or power) from it.
I agree we still have the ability to climb out of the hole we are in but it will be a long, hard climb and the ability to turn things around won’t last forever. Somewhere there is a tipping point, a point of no return.
The first step to recovery is to stop the racists, the democrats and the other socialists, moochers and America haters in Washington and the Federal bureaucracy from digging the hole deeper every day.
They are rapidly heading down to the point of no return.
The question is - will they reach that point before the bulk of American voters wake up and try to throw their sorry arses out?
Correct, and they have made their choices. The culture, mindset, work ethic and responsibility that were key to our successes of a nation no longer exist among the majority. If you want to see the future of the country, take a walk down main street or switch on reality tv. That will tell you what you need to know.
To reduce us all to penury, to make ALL Americans feel and know, first-hand, the life most indolent and squalid losers in the US do, will buy time for “O” to consolidate whatever ‘reforms’ his administration can force feed the country.
Believe me, uniting ALL America behind the idea of prosperity and progress is NOT on “O’s” agenda.
The rot reaches back much farther than 2008, and the rot is deep. The Republicans, who a short 15 years ago were mouthing an intention to return education and Medicare back to the states, or the people, are now gaining popularity on the OPPOSITE. VDH is dead right that we are a country rich in resources and potential. And he is dead right that exploiting that potential is in large part a function of "state of mind." The people need to drop the government down about 50 pegs, and assume command and control of the country once again.
our generation's own free choice; it is not a historical inevitabilityIt's every generation's free choice, but I think demise is, at some point, a historical inevitability. From Democracy to Dictatorship is as real as it gets.
No—you’re wrong and the error is here:
“the next generations has NO chance to doing better than the previous ones”
Do you realize what can happen with enough Steve Kings and Michelle Bachmanns in congress, Jan Brewers as governors and Sarah Palin or Lt. Col. Alan West in the White House?
Do you realize the power of tax cuts, and the explosion of prosperity that will result when the markets are set free?
Optimism or pessimism for the future might just be related to the age of the observer.
The elderly reflect on their *best days* with experience and history as evidence; while the young anticipate that *things will get better* by avoiding the mistakes of the past.
Being in the elderly category - I’m terrified.
Some people have the vocabulary to
sum up things in a way you can understand them.
This quote was translated into English
from an article appearing in the
Czech Republic as published in the
Prager Zeitung of 28 April 2010.
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama
but a citizenry capable of
entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.
It will be far easier to
limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency
than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment
to a depraved electorate willing to have
such a man for their president."
"The problem is much deeper
and far more serious than Mr. Obama,
who is a mere symptom of what ails America .
Blaming the prince of the fools
should not blind anyone to the
vast confederacy of fools
that made him their prince."
The Republic can survive a Barack Obama,
who is, after all, merely a fool.
It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools
such as those who made
him their president."
