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.

“Bill..Thanks for the laugh. Too much idiocy in your “letter” to respond to.”

Do you mean oxycontin?

Don’t you mean “there is too many words and thoughts and stuff to think about…much less try to form a coherent response to…?”

Another example of mind-expanding thought from our lib pals.

First of all, the CRA’s implemented by Jimmy Carter, and then strictly enforced by Janet Reno and Clinton started the whole problem. Then 2 months before the meltdown, Barney Frank said Fannie and Freddie were in good shape, lying to evryone, and people were investing in them.

The only credit I can give democrats, is the credit they deserve. Trillions of dollars of defecit spending, nationalizing banks, taking over auto companies, pushing for tax increases on candy, soda, chips, and VAT tax, tax on health care benefits, and pushing nationalized health care. Sounds like a whole lot of PUSHING for socialism.

My wife and I are way under the 250k, but we already pay more than 50% of our income in taxes. Hell, why should I even work?

What freedom you talkin bout Bill? The freedom we had of singing Christmas carols and decorating the Christmas trees in school when we were kids? We were forced to do these things as kids, there was no freedom with this. We were also forced to celebrate easter and have egg hunts in school. And valentines day, what torture. I was forced to send valentines to every girl in the class and wasn’t allowed to send any valentines to the boys. Things have changed now Bill, the kids of today are much more fortunate. No christmas celebration forced down their throat, they now learn about the importance of global warming and we were never taught about this in school. In a new survey of elementary school kids, 2 out of every 3 kids is convinced that the earth is going to burn up in their lifetime so the kids of today are finally learning important things in our public schools. Also, these kids are finally learning that working your azz off all your life in this new world is just aint worth it. They know now that Obama will take care of them and if anyone is stupid enough to work that hard then they will just be paying your way. Kids today have a much better life.

“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.”—BILLO—

—soon to be known as BRILLO, for he scrubs the facts like a BRILLO pad.

These may be the facts, but only in your own little phantasmagoric brain is it all Bush’s fault. But thanks for playing along…BRILLO.

Try soft scrub, it’s not so caustic.

Of course you will forget Denny Hastret during his time has Speaker of the House going on KMOX and saying that the people who oppose Bush and his spending policies do not understand economics like he (Hastret and I know I am probably misspelling his name) understands economics.

You of course also forget that Bush touted the Home Ownership society and his policies would get ownership to 75%.

You of course forget that Kit Bond wrote the regulators a letter complaining that they were to strict in their enforcement of the rules. You also forget that the letter took large chunks from a lobbyist letter that requested that Bond wrote such letters.

I really do not wish to go back and forth on this all again, I did so because of one of your replies to someone else. I believe that it is all deeper than either one of us described it here and the blame is on both sides of the aisle.

I also did so because as I stated the conservatives twist everything around so that neither of the recessions during those 8 years was Bush’s fault, but I am sure if there had been no recession then they would have given all the credit to the conservatives.

As for the posting that was not yours, just by the tone meaning he addressed it to you and signed it, that he was confused has to how it was to be signed.

As for the taxes. OK if you feel you are not getting enough then quit.

You know Libtard when I was in school I had no Muslims and few Jews.

But I do not remember the Jews being given the option about celebrating Christmas. We were told on such and such day we would celebrate.

So yes some kids were forced.

Funny, the global warming gang sees certain disaster, based on computer models and crumby sensor readings resulting in minute temperature gains (or is it losses the week?) over a century; models incapable of modeling near-term weather. Yet monster numbers (twelfth [going on thirteenth] power) leave them unfazed. What’s more is that their GW worries are all about protecting future generations; where’s that same concern when it comes to debt?
