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.
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.


You are so right Doubting! My black friends are so much worse off than they were during the “separate but equal” times! In fact, they were EVEN BETTER off as SLAVES taken care of by the white master!
How low was the high school drop out rate for blacks during slavery? What about before the civil right movements?
Got to love racists Neocon Republicans!
Bill: My point was that blacks continue to vote for liberals when the liberal policies have destroyed the black families, resulted in disgraceful public schools and inner cities that resemble war zones. Now, if you think the democrats led the civil rights movement, you better check your history. As for calling me a racist, if you voted for, and/or support this president, with his racist background, you have given up the high ground on racism and have no room to call anyone else a racist.
My point was this letter made a broad generalization of “less freedom” in order to scare people. The narrow minded author was clearly only thinking about white people: “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.”
So I easily pointed out a flaw in his logic. I thought I knew what racism was from growing up in New Orleans, but St. Louis is on an entirely different level.
I never thought the Democrats led any sort of movement. Too bad the Republican party isn’t the same party from the 60’s. Neocons took it over and it’s a damn shame!
This is why I am an Independent.

I get the feeling as you do that the letter writer was speaking to white people as you do.
He also said the following:
“This is for the well meaning, Christian, conservative men and women so they can get a sense of reality here”
So while the tone gives the impression that he is speaking to whites, he does come out and say Christian. So if you are conservative but not Christian then he is not thinking of you.
I have found the Doubting will speak in disgust about the words and tone of a liberal, but the same words uttered by a conservative he will defend. If the right utters something it is good, if the left utters the same it is bad.
Bill
One more thought I agree about to bad the Republicans are not the party of the 60’s. They were the true center. The conservatives and liberals were both in the Democratic Party. When Lyndon Johnson Signed the Civil Rights Bill he said that with that act “we have lost the south for a generation”.
As a result the Southern Conservative Democrats abandoned the party and moved to the Republicans. That started the Republican move to the right.
I started out a Republican. However, to many times and centrist position was not accepted by other Republicans. I had to believe what they believed and believe it verbatim or I was wrong.
I moved top the Liberal side. They to have people that say believe as I believe, but on the whole they are more accepting of various points of views.
I DON’T SEE WHERE ANYONE OF YOU HAS AN ANSWER…BLAMING BUSH IS NOT A
