I hate to be a heartless SOB, but part of me wants to laugh at the Obama voters who will be laid off or fired because of the economic policies of “The One”. They will get exactly what they voted for.


That’s what the reality will be. But I’m afraid Obama will get a pass and the whole idea that Obama “inherited” this mess will take root. Technically he will inherit this mess but we know CRA and the policies he supported and sued for are the real cause of this.

I think the press will spoon feed these ZOMbamies and they will be lead to believe he’s the next FDR and it takes time.
Bush will be the new Hoover.

OSama is already saying it won’t take 1 year or even 1 TERM. It’s going to have to be so bad to penetrate him I’m afraid.

I hope I’m wrong. I hope OSama becomes Carter and the people aren’t fooled.

Yes, you’re heartless, LOL, and so am I. I so look forward to all the small businesses letting the Obamabots go when they downsize. I look forward to Hussein dealing with the economy when most of us on our side are laying low, not spending, cashing out our retirement plans and even bank accounts, un-investing. We’ll be scaling back on donations, and just helping the “poor at our gates”. No more donations to the starving Ethiopians, or whatever the cause du jour is. Growing our own food to at least some extent, even it’s just a garden patch in the yard or for city dwellers, salad in large pots. There are all kinds of things we can do to disengage, if we are willing to put up with some inconvenience at the least. If that’s too much to ask, we don’t deserve to be free.

I wish we could start an Atlas Shrugged movement, but I'm afraid that not enough will put themselves even to a bit of inconvenience, much less sacrifice, to do so. But if I'm wrong, that would be great. We certainly ask more of our servicemen.

Gives me a greater understanding of WHY the FLDS’ers moved to Texas and built a fort.

Well, I don’t know whether either cash money OR gold will be worth much to us after a while. As much as people can learn how to produce food for themselves and how to barter, they need to do so. - Heritage seeds so we can save our own seeds and not have to use anything to BUY anything is wisdom I think at this time.

I get your general drift, but sorry, who are FLD'ers? Funny you should mention the Alamo, just today I told someone that I'm so bitter and frustrated about what's happening, what this nation of overgrown babies is doing to our freedom in exchange for a nanny government, which will inflict it on all of us, that I'm ready to make an Alamo-like last stand. When they start making sure that everyone is "pulling their weight" and "paying their fair share" to support the parasites, they will start tracking those who have dropped out of the system. Not to mention those they think might still be armed.

I wish everyone here who is angry at the prospect of losing our freedom and self-autonomy, would listen to people like you, and do at least something to make a dent in the coming wall of socialism and total government control.

The only problem I can see with the government theft of the private 401k plans is that while the legislators would be casting their vote for the idea, their families would be dying at home.

Is it worth it as a legislator to do something that you were not elected to do if it would result in the death of your own family?

The contrast in the extreme bias of this “journalist”, and actual financial experts is simply stunning.

The market is showing that even the possibility of a socialist Amerika is bad for business, across the globe.

Not FLD.

FLDS.

Fundamental LDS.

The case down in Texas where the CPS removed all the children.

I don’t think I mentioned the Alamo, but I do agree with your thoughts on it.
