I don’t think our children will enjoy the same freedom we’ve had

I recently listened to a good portion of Obama’s Cairo speech along with some commentaries on it.  My comments are not actually for Liberal Democrats, because they are pure lemmings, and are essentially beyond all hope short of an act of God.  No, my comments are actually for the conservative right, and more importantly for the middle ground folks that can see a bit of good in everything regardless of what it is. 

 ”The man” in the Cairo speech talked up the religion of Islam like it was the best thing since sliced bread, and apologized more than once for this nation “democracy”.  I have reservation about our democracy myself, but I certainly wouldn’t prefer a Muslim theocracy to any kind to the “democracy” we have.  Obama went on to say that he intended to give special breaks to American Muslims so they could meet the charitable quotas that are dictated by the Qaran.  Muslims represent about 1.5% of the population of this country, and they will be getting a tax break that no one else gets.  He went on to say that American Muslims would have laws protecting them so they worship as they please.  They pray a few times each day wherever they are on their portable prayer rug.  Christians can’t pray in school, or mention the name of Jesus Christ let alone drop for a while to face the east for some rug time.  I don’t remember a minority doing this well in the past.

 The Cairo speech placed more distance between the US and Israel.  Obama is intent on having an independent Palestine, and an integrated Israel.  An extreme liberal democrat asked me recently if I thought Obama was the anti-Christ.  The woman has less brain than a head of lettuce, but incredibly people listen to her, I don’t know why?  I told her, “I don’t know that he is.”  I could see this comment of mine left her crestfallen.  She must have wanted to fight about that.  At any rate I did go on to say that Obama was doing a great job of setting up a nice introductory platform for the Anti-Christ with the things that he was doing.  Her eyes got wide, when I said that about her “man”, and I told her that it was my understanding that the Anti-Christ would be European (Old Roman Empire).  Obama may not have been born in America, but I am certain he wasn’t born in Europe.

 I get a lot of emails from folks to write to my congressman, my senator, let the president know what I think, and stuff like that.  The difficulty is that as well meaning as those folks are they just haven’t gotten it into their heads that it is too late for those games.  Obama has the national debt at $11.5 trillion, and he has every intention of continuing the push via the Nancy Pelosi budget to bring it to 18 trillion. 
This is for the well meaning, Christian, conservative men and women so they can get a sense of reality here.  In a couple of years when the national debt is $18 trillion, and the population is around 300 million every man woman and child in the country will owe $18 trillion / 300 million people.  That is $18,000,000,000,000/300,000,000 = $60,000 debt for every man woman and child in this nation.  Each family has an average of 2.5 children, so we can see that each family of about 4.5 come up with an average figure of around $270,000 of national debt that they owe (time to tax).

 99.9% of the population cannot absorb that level of additional debt load.  The interest on the loans (oh yes, we owe China and a number of others this money) even at a modest 4% simple interest is a whopping .04(18 trillion) annually = 720,000,000,000  = 720 billion a year in interest each year.  By now you are getting the picture.  This nation will be bankrupt shortly.  The “4-sale” sign is in the front yard, but the owners haven’t been told yet (the people). 

 I have spoken to folks, but they think I am being to pessimistic.  The national debt is 11.5 billion now as I write this.  Take the 11.5/18 = 64%.  What I am saying to you is that the final devastation I explained above is 64% done.  In no time at all it will be complete.  In truth, if this economic disaster were to turn around today (not tomorrow, today) there might me a chance our grandchildren (definitely not our children) might get out from under this.  In three years when the numbers should be complete; I don’t believe we will ever have a lineage that will ever enjoy the freedom we have had, let alone the freedoms that our ancestors aspired for this nation.

 Oh come on Bill, you are just to negative!  Am I, I don’t think so?  I sat at a table eating breakfast with two successful business men.  They were perplexed about their portfolios; they had just taken about a 35% hit.  Would they have the retirements they had planned to have?  I told them plainly, I did not know a safe haven for their remaining money. 
As basic as all this is I know some bight eyed people will jump up and say, “Oh that is not right, and you just don’t understand”, or maybe give me an inspired “You just have to trust.”  Those folks are optimists, aka lemmings.

The next pillar to fall is the credit markets. It won’t be as devastating as the bursting bubble in real estate, but it will happen, and soon.

Probably about the same time gas reaches 90 to 100 dollars a barrel.

Retailers will take another hit during holidays…economy shrinks further…the O’s grip on controls becomes tighter…the cycle downward continues…will anybody be left to turn out the lights? Will there be any lights left to turn out?

Stay tuned as our fearless leader and his lapdog minions twist reality into their “utopian ideal”, as the world turns…

So you only are talking to Christian men and women. Besides Muslims you are also excluding Jews? That says a lot about who you believe can understand freedom. To read it has written if you are not Christian and conservative, so a moderate Christian is not one that you believe is capable of understanding, then that person must be wrong. That says a lot about the intolerance of the conservative movement. You have excluded all non Christians and all non conservative Christians from your perception of your movement.

Funny how you threw in the bit about the 35% loss in their savings. You put that in a letter about freedoms. So what does your net worth have to do with freedom? Some might say that the freedom to make and retain wealth, but he does not even mention that idea. He just seems to believe that freedom is lost when the value of a portfolio goes down.he also seems to believe that the fault is Obama, though most likely the value was lost during the previous administration. My portfolio lost value, but since March has continued to grow. So please explain why this is included in a letter about freedom. After all by his inclusion I am freer now than I was in January because my portfolio has grown in wealth.

Wow…all this rhetoric aimed at only a small percentage of the US population, what is it down to now the 23%-ers (the Limb-bites? the Newties? the Palinesques?).

Where was all the outrage when Bush was CREATING and running up deficits? When the Isreali/Palestinian issue wasn’t settled during 8 years of Bush? Bailouts of Banks and the auto-industry was intentionally not dealt with specifically to pass off on the next guy?

8 years. 8 Years. Bush had 8 years to take care of all of these issues but he chose to allow his cronies treat the federal reserve as their own ATM, cut off a revenue stream without making adjustments for it, oversaw the largest expansion of the US Government ever, CREATED (yes, get that word in your vocab CREATED) the largest deficits EVER, led the US into an ill-advised, mistake of a war in Iraq. Ignore N. Korea, Ignore Iran. Bush had 8 years to get us into all these messes and now the Right Wing idiots expect President Obama to fix it all in 6 months? Give it a rest will ya?

Another miss statement by Bill.

He Said

He went on to say that American Muslims would have laws protecting them so they worship as they please. They pray a few times each day wherever they are on their portable prayer rug. Christians can’t pray in school, or mention the name of Jesus Christ let alone drop for a while to face the east for some rug time.

Of course that is wrong. Christians can pray in school. However, schools cannot set a time a side from praying. They cannot hide this by making a mandatory time of contemplation. The teacher cannot lead a prayer session because they are an agent for the government. However, the students can pray on their own. They can pray has individuals or in a group during break periods. If a Muslim was excused to allow them to pray then the Christian would have a right to sue. Until that happens though good old Bill has done what conservatives often do, he misquoted the court ruling on the subject.

I agree with the premise of the letter. Anyone who supported the borrowing and spending, in the name of compassionate conservatism, of the last administration, and continues to support the insane multiplication of the borrowing and spending by this incompetent bunch of neophytes, doesn’t give one hot damn about their kids, grandkids, or greatgrandkids. Simple as that. If you are selfish enough to ask them to pay for our irresponsibility, you don’t deserve economic or political freedom.

I am also afraid my kids and their kids will not live in freedom as we know it. “The Messiah’s” continued steamrolling to socialism, continues on unchecked by the ones we elected. Between taking over the banks and auto companies, pushing for socialized health care, and wanting to control even more of our lives, we are in a sorry state.

People need to unite and take to the streets as they are in Iran. They are fighting corruption and so should we. The Chicago mob has taken over Washington and needs to be stopped.

“cut off a revenue stream without making adjustments for it, ”

Please tell me you arent talking about the Bush tax cuts.

What you and the rest of the libtards dont seem to understand is it is NOT the governments money, they did NOTHING to earn it. If they couldnt confiscate it from those of us who make money, they would have NO money. It has been proven time and time again, let the people keep more of THEIR money and the economy will prosper. When the government STEALS more money from the private sector, the economy shrinks.

If you think the tax cuts were so bad, how much extra did you send to the government every year since 2003?
