Last few years I have watched this country spiral further, and FASTER, out of control of the people than I have ever seen. In the last election I was "verbally stoned" by many on these forums, for having the audacity to support losers like Ron Paul for president, and other conservatives, such as Bob Barr on the Constitution Party after Paul lost the primary for
: Lack of support. Now many of those same "stone throwers" are backing him and even sending him money, but I believe it is most likely "too little, too late".
Obama has amassed about 1 billion (that's with a B) dollars in campaign funds, and has successfully driven our economy even farther into the ravine, than Bush did. He, I believe is intentionally "playing the court jesters" in the Senate, and Congress, both Democrat & Republican, by "switch hitting" every time they get close to "ridiculous compromise", after "rediculous compromise".
Now as far as Tea Party "Hobbits" go, I have not a clue what a "hobbit" is, but I do know what a Tea Party member is, as I and many of my family are.
Our country is now "in the tank". Neither the Republican, nor the Democrat, have a clue, OR A CHANCE, of getting us out. The "lessor of two evils" have governed this country too long, and the voter has "settled for less", one too many times, and it is time to PAY UP. And PAY UP, WE WILL.
mcduck for instance lives in the brokest, most liberal state in the union, and last election, they brought that liberal idiot Brown out of moth balls, and put him back in the governors mansion. Is that not about the craziest thing you could think of, at such a time in California history? Just before California releases a bunch of prisoners they can't afford, he signs a bill to KNOWINGLY EDUCATE ILLEGALLS IN COLLEGE WITH GOVERNMENT FUNDS.
I believe we will see the "Grapes of Wrath" in reverse before it's over, with the Okies leaving California and coming here to Texas, which we cannot handle as a state. Not because we do not like Okies, because we do, but because Texas is not in as good a shape as advertised.
Like I said: Decades of the "lessor of two evils" voting, which was nothing more than "settling for less". And now? Too little, too damn late. You cannot undo in one election, what has been going on for decades. All you can do, is what we collective speaking, have done. Gridlock, where the "out of touch masses" argue with the "recently awakened".
We shall see where this goes, but I think before it's over, everyone is gonna find out how much their house is really worth, that they really don't need that second SUV, and the bass boat, was a waste of much needed money.
Now before someone with a mortgage, two financed SUVS, a financed bass boat, and a "financed net worth" in excess of $200,000.00 calls me a pessimist, an I told you so, or tells me I should step in line, let me say that I have been there, and saw the lack of wisdom in living like that, and changed it years ago. So I don't need the lecture. This is merely my opinion of the current situation, and my forcast of the future based on current events. People on welfare, don't get it. Farmers drawing Subsidies (farm welfare, which is actually a bigger program), don't want to stop getting it. And the countless other Americans with some type of "funded" business, or need And other countries which by the way vote against us in the United Nations want their checks and WILL GET THEM.
We pay over 25% of the U.N.'s budget, and 70% of Nato's budget.
We've been burning powder, and spilling blood in Iraq for nie on 20 years, Afghanistan for 10 years, and now we're settin off fireworks in Libya, with a "claim" of VICTORY in the first two mentioned. Most of Congress AND the Senate have said NO! to Obama on the Libya deal, and he just laughs at them, and shoots off another rocket.
Our government is a joke, and in chaos, gentlemen, and so is our population. Their just not in the streets yet. Close the WalMarts, stop the government checks and they'll be along shortly. The Tea Party, including myself, is a minority. The Hobbits too I guess.
Like I said. Just my opinion based on current FACTS.
