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.

What’s this, Obama won’t release the White House visitor logs? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/16/AR2009061603517.html

I thought this was going to be a transparent presidency. It doesn’t make any difference, the “lemmings” on the Left will continue to support The One even though this was a Bush policy.

“Do as I say, not as I do”…old adage from the Democrat playbook.

Nice to see that you do not believe in the Constitution of the United States. The 16th Amendment does not mention anything about confiscation it does mention tax. So since you see it as confiscation and not a proper function under the Constitution of the United States then we are free to also extrapolate that you do not believe in said document.

Do your research. Everything started tanking after the democrats took control of the house and senate.

100% of Americans will be getting tax increases, when and if we get the Cap and Tax bill, socialized medicine and all the other give away programs “Your Messiah” wants to screw us with.

Several points. First you like to call me twister but I love how the conservatives like to twist things around. The loans that caused the problem started to come due at the point however they were made 2 to 5 years earlier. Now who was in charge of congress at that time?

The other point is how conservatives like to tag the recessions. The current recession started when we had a Democratic congress and a Republican President. So they have tagged it a Democratic congress recession.

The recession that took place in the early Bush years started when we had a Republican Congress but a Democratic President. Yet the conservatives on this board argued that it was a Democratic recession.

So you guys do a pretty good job of twisting.

At the same time, let us assume the economy did not tank and continued to rise with the stock market pushing 16000 when Bush left office. Would you be saying boy Bush did a good job or would you be giving the credit to the Democratic congress. I suspect you would have given no credit to those darn liberal Democrats. However, if you are not willing to give them the credit how can you give them the blame?

All I know is my wealth(job,home,stocks,)were going gang-busters when Clinton was President. Bush”s policies destroyed the value of my house,my stocks are down 50% and my job is on shaky ground. Those are the FACTS. Let the spin begin….
