Many people are feeling this way. One thing we cannot allow is for our guns to be taken away from us.

THAT’S THE ATTITUDE!!!

We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy. Why?

My former boss was writing articles for defense magazines way back in the 70's about the deterioration of our industrial base. He didn't know, just saw what was happening. It all fell on deaf ears. We used to have to have a Buy American Act, small business set asides, in military procurement and only go foreign source when there was no other options. Then for some unknown reason, the floodgates opened.

I don't want to venture into these waters wrt the rest of the questions, but it can't all be by accident. Some of it could be a direct result of our fall into massive immorality and all that goes with it.

I've some suspicions that aren't too conspirational but won't go there.

There is *another* difference, which the writer excluded, but which has a supreme power all its own, .. to insidious, galvanizing, suppressive and punishing effect:

THE RACE FACTOR

The frightening thing is that everything he says is true. I just hope the outcome is better.

It’s worse than anything you can compare it to. Don’t compare to Germany in the 30’s...compare to the Soviet Union history. Obama and the democratic left will be overthrown by a modern troika.

I appreciate your post. I showed to husband, who runs a small business and has tried not to think about the O slam. He came back from a trade show yesterday and said that everyone is stagnant- no buying, no nothing until the companies understand O’s plan.
Tonight he read your post and was quiet. Business people think optimism, forward action.
It is all very scary. To top that Soros was in front of some Congressional Hearing today! Good Lord.

Reading this sure makes me think!

Broadcast Blackout of Left’s ‘Fairness’ Doctrine Push

By Rich Noyes
November 12, 2008

Excerpt:

Barack Obama’s transition team has tapped former FCC Commissioner Henry Rivera, a longtime proponent of the so-called “Fairness Doctrine,” to head the team looking for the man or woman who will soon give Democrats a 3-to-2 advantage on the Federal Communications Commission.

Can't comment yea or nay on most of the article; but I can answer that particular question. Our economy got de-industrialized because nobody was willing or able to stand up to the unions or the demagoguery the dimowits leveled at anyone who tried. Detroit wrench-turners have been making over $30/hr for 35 years. They were trying to compete with people who were willing to work for 1/20th of that. Can't be done. So, de-industrialization was not necessarily intentional -- it was a natural outgrowth of unions' inability to ever take a pay cut. The golden-egg-laying goose has been slit open.

I have been ill since the election. Just that strange feeling in your gut. Uncertainty, pessimisism, fear. This hits the nail on the head.

As a Jew, I was alarmed and repulsed by Obama's fascist proclivities in the way he presented himself during the campaign.

I was surprised and disappointed that more Jews, of all peoples, were not similarly uncomfortable by this to the point that they would not vote for Obama.

While I’m tempted to offer you a tin foil hat for your rantings, I don’t think that you are far off the mark. My only reluctance to full agreement with you is based in, time and the inability to see into the future.

I can’t know the unknowable. At this point, it is worth watching carefully who does what. How successful the democRATS are in enacting their true desires. If there is a general amnesty for the illegal aliens, all is lost.

I do believe that Civil War 2.0 could be on the horizon.

There are some chilling parallels. Whats that old saying... people who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

I didn’t know Soros showed his hateful, anti-American
face in the halls of Congress. I loathe that beast.
