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.
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.
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."
Hanson is right.
And we should know that the left is desperate to kill our spirit.
Take heed, all you trolls and useful idiots.
I agree with Victor, however, my confidence on the end of our current thugocracy will be determined by the Congressional elections this November. It would be best for us to elect hard core conservatives and miss the majority by 3-5 votes then to win the majority with a bunch of McCain lite pubics. There are majorities and then there are majorities looking over their shoulders. The latter may be to our advantange. Hell, in that situation we may act as lazarus and raise the dead with so-called “Blue Dog Democrats”. That term is just as funny as “Moderate Republican”. It just means they had to lie to get to Washington. What they actually believe in is their ivy league elitism.
He’s wrong. There’s no getting out of this debt with the population of Americans we have today. There’s no getting out of the slide into paganism and islam.
They are fat, lazy, stupid, and immoral. They prefer slavery to government to freedom from its oppression. They prefer pagan barbarianism to the civilization of Christianity.
We are headed into post-Christian USA, just like Europe is in its post-Christian period.
America decided. America chose this. It happened over decades, so it is bigger than Ears and his homies. VDH is correct on that point.
Americans decided that they would rather grow government and make it their god than pretty much any alternative. That goes for lots of “conservatives” as well.
I pursue optimism wherever possible, but........I liken this to whistling past the graveyard. Unless and until you find a way to fix the fundamental problem of unaccountable governence you’ll get nowhere fast. The truth be told the problems are an outgrowth of a broken political class whose primary aim is to enrich itself at the populace’s expense while toadying to the global elites who craft what passes for public policy. The U.S. is near subject to what amounts to foriegn governance. At this point, I see no real solution to that problem. As a “Nation State” the U.S. is passing into the ash bin of history. The elections have become meaningless because the two parties are joined at the top and their policies are dictated to them by foriegn interests. I think that largely explains why so many so-called “Republicans” started out to run in 2008 only to drop out after learning two things; first they learned that they would be the loser because the “fix” was in and it was the Dem’s turn; and, two, they were told that if through some fluke they did win, they would have to take action according to a predetermined script. This explains for example, why Bush appeared to do much the same types of things to bail out the banks/economy that Obama has continued to do but on a larger scale.
Put another way, if you step back and think about your life and life choices over the last 50 years you see a pattern emerge. For example; soon you won’t be able to buy the traditional incandescent light bulb; you may prefer it but it will no longer be available; you have no choice over who you sell your house too and conversely, you no longer have any choice over who your neighbors are. Where I live it’s no longer possible to buy single pain windows for your house; I can’t buy gasoline without ethanol in it; I can’t buy the old style water heater, etc. These were decisions made for me; not decisions I made for myself. Yesterday we learned that through the artifice of the EPA, the gov’t is going to begin the process of drastically reducing refining capacity in the U.S.; this morning I learn that Obama will be giving a speach about new economic opportunities at a federally funded “new” automobile battery plant that will produce state of the art batteries for electric cars; now of course we’re being told that there’s going to be electric cars in our future and we’ll have no choice except to buy them because by way of EPA action, gasoline will be $5.00 to $7.00 a gallon by 2015.
Thus, you begin to understand that our futures are truly no longer in our hands and that the U.S. gov’t is being directed by forces beyond our control. The elections, etc. are simply window dressing designed to provide the hapless populace with the appearance of choice. The whole thing is an elaborate lie.
I respectfully disagree with the honorable doctor. We have moved most of our manufacturing capabilities offshore these days. In the 40s Pennsylvania itself made more steel than any country in the world. Then our national debt did not crush our children and grandchildren - if we ever can pay it off. The burden of state, local, and Federal government regulations now are much higher. Try to get the permits to do something - say drill for natural gas.
Yes America can be great again. We have the talent and the resources. However we need the freedom to be able to do so.
