On Memorial Day 2009, wondering about Memorial Day 2010

As we prepare to observe Memorial Day 2009, I cannot help but wonder what the United States will be like next Memorial Day. Will we have a memorial for the country as we once knew it?

The president wants to treat terrorist killers more humanely than an unborn, inconvenient baby.

One heartbeat away is the vice president, who was thought to be the fool of the United States Senate by his peers and who clearly does not know when to keep his mouth shut.

A second heartbeat away is a woman clearly out of touch with the American people, the truth and reality.

Here’s how to get back our country:
Let the poorly run companies, even banks, and states go bankrupt.

Let all of the ludicrous union and government contracts with outrageous retirements and benefits evolve for renegotiation.

Allow parents the right to send our children to the school of our choice with our tax money.

Hold our teachers accountable for the education of our children, not the indoctrination of them.

Most important, instill term limits and limit retirement benefits for all elected officials.

It is time we read the Constitution. It will enlighten us as to exactly what our forefathers were escaping when they settled here.  Because, my fellow Americans, history is repeating.

Actually, Mr. McCurdy -
Next Memorial Day, we will all be required to salute the Cubbies and the Sox and curse the Cards.

My preceding comment is no more ludicrous and trivial than your scaremongering and apocryphal voice of doom.
One is reminded of that small barnyard fowl…

By next Memorial Day, unemployent will be well over 10 percent and the beginning of hyper inflation will have started. After “The Messiah” has ripped apart our Constitution even more, we should be well on our way to being a more socialist country. We may also have started standing in line to see a Dr., and for fuel for our cracker box cars.

There will be no more GM or Chrysler, but Obama Motors will be forcing us to drive those cracker boxes. Cap and Tax bill, will drive the gas to $6 or more per gallon, and we won’t be able to afford to turn on a light when it gets dark outside. More people will freeze to death during the winter of 10-11, because natural gas will have sky rocketed.

“The Messiah” will have taken over the entire banking system, and every American’s wages will be, what ever “The Chosen One” says they will be. Food will start getting scarce since farmers cannot afford fuel for their tractors and we will be lining up for our daily rations of stale bread and cup of beans.

Wake up liberals, before it’s too late.

By Memorial Day 2011, “The Messiah” will not be The President, but known as “The King”, and since we are not a Christian nation, Easter and Christmas will be nothing but memories.

We will have only have one tv station known as TOBNTN, (The Obama Nation Television Network). His Majesty will be on every hour on the hour, reminding us he is “King”, and we, his peons or subjects, will be required to attend his re-education camps, conduted by Rev. Wright and William Ayres.

Wake up America!

A month ago I would have said it is likely we will be living under martial law by Memorial Day 2010. But with the senate democrats coming to their senses and squashing some of Obama’s nonsense, and Dick Cheney taking over national security, there may be hope.

Doubting…

How little faith you show in the American people and system. You really believed that the military and the police would have backed martial law? If a liberal had made the same accusation that the military and police would have supported such acts the conservatives on this sight would be screaming that we were speaking ill of those institutions. Yet a conservative apparently believes that they can make such wild claims. Why do you conservatives have so little faith in the military and police?

Bob: Have you listened to some of the things this president has said? “I don’t stand with them,” that was referring to the Chrysler bondholders, with supposedly secured assets. One of the losers in this mess was a large teacher pension fund in Indiana that is now in suit against the hedge fund that knuckled under the president’s threats. Even though it was not made public, it has been reported often enough that I am sure it is true, this president told a group of bankers that “I am the only thing standing between you and the pitchforks.” How about sending Acorn thugs to the houses of the AIG execs? He has created, and is trying to intensify, a class war between the haves and the have nots. He wants, and is assuring, six dollar a gallon gas, a constantly failing economy, complete chaos, thus martial law and complete power for the messiah. That is the way I see it, I pray I am wrong or that more sane heads in government will prevail.

Ok Mr. Bob (Mr. Twister)

Please twist and explain to me, and others, how my two posts are
“WOW hate hate”. Be sure to try and spin everything.

Also Bob, please learn english. Yor statement “Thanks a lot for it you are really exposing the conservatives has the party of hate.”, should it not be “as”?

Pathetic liberals.

Next Memorial day we will pause in our busy schedules to honor those who have given their lives in the service of their country, as I hope we do today.

Our country will be well on it’s way to economic recovery, we will be at peace , and the conservative whiners will have been proven SO wrong they will be embarassed to post on these boards ever again. They will change their IDs ( or start using multiple IDs to pretend their numbers are higher than they are) and start complaining about the school behavior of Obama’s kids and that the White House dog pees on the floor, because Rush tells them to, and that is all they will have left to yap about.

Most Americans will continue to support Obama, and his policies just as they do now.

God Bless ALL America, and ALL those who have served

Kinda comical when you think about it. When the conservatives were in power the liberals asked such questions. Now that the liberals are in power the conservatives are asking such questions.
Get a clue people. The country will still be here much as it has been for 233 years now. We go on, no matter what party is in power. For even the most jaded left or right winger knows what is truly our goal. To be free. To wordship as we will. To be able to post on a blog or say what we will with out having the fear of being hung. To be able to correct someones English while messing up themselves.
Vhat a country!
