“Armageddon tourists”. Well... now there’s a term I can’t say I could have predicted.

The French really are surrender monkeys. Americans say, “Bring it on!”

Oh sure...That worked out so well with the Bush clan...

2 years after that disaster, tens of millions of Americans have lost their jobs, hours slashed, lost homes, lost careers, investments decimated, lost businesses, retirement pensions destroyed, heath benefits gone, etc etc...8 years of that made American citizenship all but pointless and our borders now resemble a lawless war zone.

Bring it on?

Riiight!

The only dopes they roped, were the American people.

mass suicides by converts to prophesies of imminent Armageddon.

Well that will just leave that much more water and air for the rest of us thank you. Might even help their traffic problems.

“Just make sure you do it right the first time
‘Cause nothing’s worse than a suicide chump
...and we’re all gonna be so sorry when we find out you are dead..
Don’t wanna mess your face up
Or we won’t know if it’s you
Oh, there’s just so much to worry about
Now what you gonna do?”

Americans say, “Bring it on!”

Indeed. To the last knife, club, rock or baseball bat. To the last bullet. To the last man.

To the last.

Those who would think themselves our Overlords should be aware of that if they are not already. They mistake our resolve at their peril.

Sure, let’s compare our cult mass-suicides, Jonestown, Heaven’s Gate, with theirs. Is America going to come out favorably?

We have our own 2012 craziness here: some of Jared Loughner’s ranting seemed to be about this, and what sense I could make out of it was that he believed the beginning of 2011 was the actual beginning of 2012. So it’s to be commended that the French are taking this seriously.

And here also, Camping is really looking for lawsuits to recover money donated to his church, isn’t he? Maybe he’s been confusing his own death with the death of the world, or rapture, or whatever he’s calling it. Soon after his predicted date came and went, he had a stroke, seemingly ending his preaching. Maybe this October date is something he intuitively knows is near his own end.

I'm not really sure what Bush has to do with my remarks. Perhaps you could explain the context of your comment and detail which disaster you're referring to when you say, "2 years after that disaster,..."

For some time I’ve held that China will start a major war just to, um, balance the gender ratio there.
Your post invokes a sobering thought.
The fastest way to reduce population and supercharge an economy is war; the only way to resolve the >$100T unfunded obligations, short of default or hyperinflation, is to terminate the obligators and push the taxable economy into overdrive.

The Left needs a war. A big one.
