I ran across this article on 'Real Clear World'. I thought it was interesting.

Really, its about America's collapse only being a matter of time. No nation has survived the path that the USA is on. That being, out of control spending, barrowing to pay for the debt, and then uncontrolled print of dollars to pay the interest on the debt. America is the only country in the world that can do this because the dollar is the current world reserve currency. International trade is done using the dollar, other nations must convert to the dollar to buy oil on the world market, etc... Our current economic policies are so devalueing the dollar that eventually the rest of the world will stop buying dollars and our credit rating will continue to drop. There is already a push to by many foreign nations like China, Iran, Russia, UK, France, etc... to change the world reserve currency or create a new one entirely. If this happens, our nation will collapse and in flation will soar to unbelieveable amounts annually to the point where gas will be $10+ per gallon, milk will be $20 per gallon, etc... This has happened to other nations in Europe in the past, and is happening in some EU countries now and could eventually (within months to a couple of years) here. Anybody who can think there way out of a box knows that what is happening in America today can't continue. Debt is out of control and even taxing over 90% of our income will not cover the interest on the debt owed to foreign nations. If anyone gets tired to America, all they have to do is start calling our debts and it will be the end of America as we know it.

Can the world economy survive without America, some say no and the whole world will collapse. I say it can survive after some initial pain and a recovery after a few years and whats left of America we will be reduced a third world like nation or worse. Either way, I think it may be too late for America unless we really get serious about cutting spending and borrowing. The pain of that will be much less then the pain of collapse.

Ten states are now on board with upholding the constitution's eligibility clause for presidential candidates. Thats 107 electoral votes.

Arizona, (I love that state) is passing a law that will require (Duh!) all presidental candidates on the states ballots show constitutional proof of eligibility, one item of which is natural born citizenship. So that means in 2012, there will be at least one state that he will not be on the ballot. I am sure other states will follow the lead of Arizona.

Power to the people, Power to the states!

It good to see Republicans supporting Obama on the current conflict in Egypt.(Rand Paul is a notable exception and a nutcase who also wants to cut the bureau of consumer affairs among other agencies).

You can't believe what some of the UK commentators are doing and saying. One of them is riding around in an Egyptian tank together with a senior muslim brotherhood official criticizing the Egyptian government for thirty years of peace with Israel! They evidently want to see Egypt downgraded to a third world fundamentalist state that they want it to be...

Whenever there is a rise in Islam, there is a wake of death and destruction. If America is not careful, the regime that will replace the current one in Egypt will look at lot like the one in Iran. Now there are protests and demonstrations in Jordan, ah yes, the religion of peace and love. And where is O'bama, playing basketball? He is not supporting Mubarak, what a fool. He was a stablizing force in the middle east and honored his peace treaties with Isreal. Oh, that is it, O'bama is really a closet muslim and has no desire to honor our long standing agreements with Egypt and Isreal. Well, ok make he is just a liberal with the associated mental disorders.

The senatorial report on the results of the investigation into the reasons why the Ft Hood massacre could have been avoided are clear: "The inability to act was a result of both bureaucratic inefficiency AND AN UNWILLINGNESS TO IDENTIFY AND CONFRONT HOMEGROWN ISLAMIC EXTREMISM."
Well, although that conclusion comes too late for the victims of the massacre, perhaps something will now be done so it might be prevented from happening again...

I can't wait to see what the great intellects on the left come up with to prevent something similar from happening again. Man, I can't wait until the presidency and the Senate switch back to republican control in 2012!!!

Our gov was determined to save us from that corporation Toyota. Even got the execs and took turns dragging them through the mud. Stop driving those cars. Bring them in for repairs. The best engineers found nothing. It was all BS.

We are trying to gain competitive advantage by not making better cars and not cutting overhead. Basically, the UAW/US auto industry has been turned into an extension of the liberal government's welfare entitlemnet handout machine. They will never be able to compete.

In an open letter to Phelps and his much maligned Westboro Baptist Church, the hacker activist group Anonymous issued an ultimatum:

... we give you a warning: Cease & desist your protest campaign in the year 2011, return to your homes in Kansas, & close your public Web sites. Should you ignore this warning, you will meet with the vicious retaliatory arm of ANONYMOUS.

The Westboro Baptist Church threw down the gauntlet, telling Anonymous, "Bring it, cowards!" on twitter.

Thanks, Anonymous! Your efforts to shut up God's word only serve to publish it further. God did that! Our response to you? Bring it, cowards!

I can't believe how screwed-up this whole deal actually is:
First, the FBI(fumbling bureaucratic incompetents)recruits a known felon to infiltrate local Mosques seeking information on possible extremist activities. While law enforcement has been known to use informants(snitches)who have questionable backgrounds, they also have been known to use undercover officers who, in fact, know what they're doing while they're doing it. But, in this case, the FBI recruits a felon who winds up suing them while the ACLU and CAIR team-up to initiate a class action lawsuit against the FBI claiming, in part, that the FBI has violated the 1st amendment by targeting a particular religious group. Part of the proposed settlement is that any intelligence gathered by the FBI be destroyed, which is nuts if it impacts our national security.
I don't think things get too much worse than the above but...

How sad, the terrorists are using our own laws and courts to bring us down and any money CAIR gets goes right into funding the terrorists themselves. We're doomed.

The rising oil prices will kill our economy. $120 will hurt us badly and it looks like it won't stop there. Now is the time for a smart president to drill, drill, everywhere. It doesn't require taxpayer dollars. The good jobs are desperately needed. Does Obama really believe green energy will spur the economy now? Oil, oil, natural gas, natural gas. This could be one of the biggest decisions in his presidency. Certainly a huge decision for our economy. If he sticks with his belief that gas should cost 5 and 6 dollars a gallon he shouldn't be anywhere near the oval office.

We don't have a smart president, we have the most stupid president in this nation's history. Even if gas goes to 5 or 6 dollars, once the dollar is removed from its reserved currency status, you can add another 2-4 dollars to that price. He shouuld be impeached now before its too late.

The GOP budget cuts would cut the growth of the US economy in half this year, according the investment form Goldman Sachs. The Republicans reject the independent report.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-gop-cuts-20110224,0,2687045.story
Ok, we all know the Goldman Sachs crowd are a bunch of commie, socialist, mothers who need to be run by members of the Tea Party in order to get things right. BUT, if the report IS accurate, and the cuts go in effect as planned, we're really screwed...

We need to think long term for once in this country. If they don't make painful cuts now, nothing else really matters. The dollar will pass into oblivion and the nation with it. You can't keep printing money, selling it to the Chinese, and then borrow it back to pay the interest on the money you borrowed for last years over budget spending and expect to survive. People we are doomed if the dems are not removed from office and the repubs held to the fire, and I mean NOW!
