Fate of the Union

Could there be anymore angst, dissention, division or anger in the world than there is today?America is a boiling caldron ready to spill, and it’s affecting the rest of the planet unmercifully. Israel, Iran, North Korea, Palestine, et al are all in constant turmoil. Embroiled in battle beyond reason. China, Venezuela, Cuba, and countries of Africa suppress their people unconscionably. Where does it end? And is there a way out? I don’t know. I’m beginning to think we need the return of a messiah. Or maybe go as high as beckoning a deity to sort the struggle. Man sure isn’t capable of dealing with his problems.

Bin Laden makes new threats. “The day America will take such a decision it will have taken a decision to execute whomever we capture.”

This was in relation to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other accused conspirators going on trial, with our government seeking the death penalty.

What? Is ol’ Bin all of a sudden getting a conscience? Hasn’t he brutally tortured, beheaded and killed every American he has come in contact with so far? I guess he thinks we’re stupid enough to think he’s going to offer cookies and cake to anyone he may capture if we don’t sentence his cohorts to death for their atrocities. Or maybe he’ll fix it so they can win the Iranian lottery and live happily ever after. Please, give me a break.

Leaving the rest of the world to tend to their own, let’s now focus on just the mess we have in our own country. I’d like to spend a minute on the biggest buffoon I know. The one that makes a pretense of aristocracy and authoritative know-how, but does nothing but hurl brickbats and pejoratives at the proletariat.

Aren’t we the ones that put him in office? Aren’t we the ones that gave him the power he now abuses? Sure, we have many buffoons in Congress, but none as blatantly incompetent as Barney Frank. I can’t even understand what he’s talking about when his lips are moving. Take a look at this video. abcnews.go.com/…/barney-frank-death-panels-banks-10197175 Is he doing anything other than giving lip service? Have you ever seen anyone speak so much and say so little?

Barney Frank spoke about putting financial institutions out of “our misery” today. Referring to having “death panels” for those institutions that were once deemed “too big to fail.” Gee, wasn’t Frank the one of the ones that deemed them that? I thought it was Frank that said this in 2003 about Freddie and Fannie.

“These two entities, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not facing any kind of financial crisis.” He went on to say: “The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”

Christ people, when are we going to wake up? It’s these same dolts that keep feeding us this piffle, and we keep buying it. Listen to the man. Look at his character. Is he someone we can believe in? If it is, then the answer to my question is simple — we cannot survive.

What about our beloved Vice President. Did anyone catch his comments at the fundraiser at Cordish’s home in Lutherville, Maryland? Where he openly admitted the possible demise of the Obama administration and the Democratic Party.

“If we were unable to move the ball on this issue, [ healthcare] not only in the political sense might we be dead, but in terms of being able to deal with other major issues on our plate. We would’ve been done, absolutely done.”

It’s no wonder they pushed so hard. Pushed to the point of ignoring the wishes of the American people. That’s politics my friends. Damn the torpedoes, ahead we go! Whatever it takes to support our party. The hell with the voters, we’re more important. The serfs don’t know what’s good for them anyway.

Our government is taking over education, healthcare, industry, financials, media, energy and anything else they deem necessary to control us. Look out America, we may be the next Venezuela. It appears that this administration, although not pounding the final nails in our coffin, is definitely sealing a lid on our doom.

November will tell the tale. Does this portend the outcome of the elections? A referendum it shall be. Submitting the question to the voters as a whole is what is needed, and the voice of the populace will ring loud and clear. There’s one thing that’s perspicacious, this bill will not help the economy. And if there’s one thing that will ring true in November, one thing that shall get politicians elected, it’s jobs — jobs, jobs, jobs. Get the economy rolling. Without the economy rolling, nothing can be done. Republican or Democrat, neither will succeed and anarchy will prevail.

Under thirty gave more than sixty percent support to the healthcare bill. How unfortunate. What that tell me is our youth’s views aren’t firmly grounded. They have not yet dealt with the health care industry, most don’t have health care at all. This particular group widely supports Obama and that in itself explains their support for the bill. Do they understand that they are the ones that will pay the bill? I think not. Where is the intellect of our youth? It saddens me.

All I can say is what I told my son. Make your voice heard, speak your mind, and stay true to your goals. Integrity is more valuable than life itself. Deo Volente.
