America in Distress


Get ready America; here comes the second term of the Carter administration should Mr. Obama pull off this election and have a democratic congress at his disposal. He's already drafted his inauguration speech, built the stage for his celebratory party in Grant Park and met with his transition team. Why even both with an election?

Well maybe, just maybe, our John McCain can pull this out. Maybe enough Americans will realize that Mr. Obama hasn't accomplished anything but a successful campaign and never made an executive decision that affects an entire state, much less a nation. Maybe Americans will want a non-socialist at the helm and one that knows what it means to protect and defend our country with HONOR.

God help our military when Barney Frank and friends get finished; it will add a whole new meaning to Barney Rubble. You thought Frank did such a great job with the housing market? Get ready for this:

"After the November election, Democrats will push for a second economic stimulus package that includes money for the states' stalled infrastructure projects, along with help paying for healthcare expenses, food stamps and extended unemployment benefits, U.S. Rep. Barney Frank said Thursday.

In a meeting with the editorial board of The Standard-Times, Rep. Frank, D-Mass., also called for a 25 percent cut in military spending, saying the Pentagon has to start choosing from its many weapons programs, and that upper-income taxpayers are going to see an increase in what they are asked to pay.

The military cuts also mean getting out of Iraq sooner, he said."

Obama and friends are letting us know up front what his administration will look like. Socialism, higher taxes, and lower national defense, to name a few. Just last week Barney Frank said, "I believe later on, there should be tax increases. . . there are a lot of very rich people out there whom we can tax at a point down the road and recover some of this money." Redistribution of wealth, indeed.

I wish someone would tell me what Mr. Obama has done for America that proves he deserves this opportunity to lead and defend us.

I honestly believe Jimmy Carter endorses Barack Hussein (for those who say we can't say his middle name, although it is his middle name, so live it) Obama, because an Obama presidency will no longer make him (Carter) the worst president we ever had. And what Carter did to this country and especially the military during his ruination of this nation borderlined on criminal.

During the Carter Administration the world saw a surge in pissant regimes around the world pop up and pushed the United States around. Iran was the biggest offender.

Now Iran, which is a "small country, not like Russia" is poised to become a nuclear power. Russia is going back to it's old ways (which they never really gotten away from to begin with), and China is growing militarily as well (thanks to the help of the Clinton Administration who sold them technology to efficiently launch rockets). We all know China is salivating for a chance to invade Taiwan, and what will Obama do about it. He'll probably help Tiawan like he's promising to help Israel.

And the left laughs at tbe right and think the people on the right are a bunch of conspiracy theorists who wear "tin foil hats" and look for black helicopters.
But the left sure as hell gives the right ammo to think along those lines.

For you who are voting for Obama who weren't alive in the 70's take it from someone who was. The music was probably the best there ever was, but besides the music, the
70's is something I don't want to live through again.

I do sincerely wish McCain would make the obvious point that this will indeed be a second Carter Administration. Anybody over 40 will remember the double-digit inflation and soaring unemployment that was quickly reversed by Ronald Reagan's "trickle-down" economics that everyone derided as "voodoo." I guess we had to have a Carter to get a Reagan. My hope is that the Democratic Congress will overreach themselves and get voted out by a rudely awakened electorate in 2 years.
