When Frank Gaffney speaks, I listen. Closely.

Feeling safer?

No one is jumping on board with Obama to help with Korea or Afghanistan or really having anything to do with his hair brained Kum-bye-ya foreign policy's...people who talk against their brethren i.e., homeland are not people of strength and are not sought after for leadership. Obama has cooked his own goose by blaming America and George Bush through out his first 125 days in office.

China is laughing.....she owns our debts....Obama is a Marxist, and useful fool.

The USA is finished and her people don`t even know it yet.

Once China and India have a middle class there`ll be no need for them to sell their goods to the USA, they`ll have their own consumers and will cease to buy the USA`s debt.

The days of the USA borrowing to keep the party going is drawing near to the end.

The economic implosion will collapse the USA and it will be nothing but a black hole to be avoided by the new properous countries who will dominate the next era, China and India.

I bet South Korea is wishing it had it’s own nuclear deterrent.

Gee, and all this was accomplished in less than 6 months. How’s that for change? Oh, the leftist, socialist democrats really know how to screw things up - and in record time.

The Hermit Kingdom has nothing but contempt for the so-called "international community" and the empty rhetoric and diplomatic posturing...

Actually, I am in complete agreement with them on this one.

We need a government that thinks more along those lines ...

Wasn’t Joe Biden brought on board because of his “vast” foreign policy experience? Why haven’t we heard from him. I am very curious to hear his helpful comments about foreign policy in Obama’s hour of need.

Yes, Joe allegedly has so many years of foreign policy experience. Why didn’t Obama send Joe out there to talk about what we should do. I think Obama is clueless about what should be done with North Korea.

Maybe Bush was right after all, that the axis of evil was Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. Liberals don’t like to think in those terms, but Iran and North Korea are two of the biggest problem areas in the world. And Pres. Obama is on the hot seat.

Rumors of our impending demise surface about once a decade. First it was the Russians, then the Europeans, then the Japanese, then the Europeans again, now the Chinese and Indians are going to bury us.

Notice how its never Canada. So far, such pronouncements have proved to be little more than wishful nationalistic masturbation than actual fact.

The only thing I agree with is that the days of borrowing are ending.

The threat from without never materialized.

The USA did it to itself.

There is no way it can repay the tens of Trillions it owes.

If youthink it can then explain away, we`re all ears. It`s default and bankruptcy or Weimer Republic Zimbabwe like inflation where a Trillion dollar bill will buy you 3 egss.

USA is finished and it doesn`t even realize it. Like a patient with terminal cancer who`s doctor hasn`t pronounced the findings to.

They're more scared of obama than he rates. I just pray they don't discover how weak our Community Orgnizer in Chief is before we replace him.

He already has. Most people just don’t realize it yet...

OK, kiddies, you have four years or less to play. Then daddy’s coming home from work and THEN you’ll be sorry.

Too bad it’s such a long time. Please, God, help us shorten it.
