I give up.....

[EricM]

I finally have accepted it. I am only 60 years old, but I now hope that I don't live long enough to see the imminent undoing of what was once a magnificent idea and experiment - the United States of America.

Can someone help me? Where in Bradley county to I go to sign up for food stamps, subsidized housing, and my Obama phone?

 

[Sniperchoke]

We are toast as a country. My Childrens lives will be much more of a challenge than mine. The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. We have run out!!

 

[Jmax]

I am right there with you. Our debt per person is one of the worst in the world. If Oboma keeps doing what he did the first four year on this second term our money will be worthless. You may get lucky and make more but what it is worth will be much less. The ones I feel for and worry about the most is the elderly who are usually on a fixed income with no inflation adjustments. They will make the same amount of money they have been but the purchase power of that money will be greatly reduced. Then add the amount needed for medical care going up with higher deductables and less coverage. We are in trouble. I was worried no matter who won how this was going to play out but since we got Obumer back I strongly believe he will just make it worse telling us all the time we are moving forward to a better tomorrow. emoBang Jmax

Yep, I moved it here to it.

I have a rather long comment I posted on my facebook wall that is getting a lot of positive attention that I feel should be considered by all, It seems too out their only because are filled with false hopes for "Change"and with our disbelief in the real weakness we as Americans face.

I will start a thread. There are links that will back up the facts.

The Republicans (Romney) didn't lose this election because a majority wants free crap from the Gov't. Here's why they lost...... Republicans can't tell women that forcing them to carry a rape fetus to term is a gift from God. Republicans can't call women sluts for wanting contraception included in their healthcare coverage while men have their viagra covered. Republicans can't tell gays and lesbians to shut the hell up and get back in the closet. Republicans can't tell latino's that an electric fence and sending them all back home is their immigration policy. Republicans can't tell American's who are not earning enough money to pay federal income taxes that they are mooching off the gov't tit. Make no mistake, That's why the black muslim from Chicago is back in the White House.

 

[Liveliner]

Romney was not elected for the very same reason McCain lost.. neither of those two fit the profile if a Hollywood actor... Nor do they relate to the Moron masses who we well know only vote on face value. Did you ever think that when we have millions who could win on their likability alone why Romney was all we could find. that was the master plan to keep you confused.. these elections have a master plan and the outcome is as per the big picture of what we are destine to be. Mark my word.. 2015 will be the year we go bankrupt and we will be so desperate by the master plan, we will accept anything.. You better have skills. I bet our Money will be replaced by 2016 with a World currency .... This could have been Our very last election for a president,, It really does not matter any more than picking out your toothpaste brand.</p>

I too am in disbelief but have my own ray of light in all this. First it just wasnt meant to be for Romney to be elected, period. If it had been meant then it would have happened. Second sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better. And third and this is the most important, the only way you will get the Obama voters to wake up is to have the effects of his bad policies directly affect his voters. That is what will start happening and soon.. I work with a fellow who didnt believe me when I told him that either this year or next the money paid by where we work towards his health care will be considered income that needs to be taxed and that will directly affect his return, especially since he has the Cadillac plan which the company is paying about 800 a month toward. That adds up to around 8500 in extra untaxed income at the end of the year. Also the HR person where I work said the we will be loosing our Cadillac plan for 2014 because of Obama care.. This will directly hurt my coworker who has a family member that has serious medical needs and he counts on the high end plan.. Oh yeah I am sure there are many many people out there who blindly voted for BO that when all this starts happening they will realize that people like you and me who were telling them or trying to tell them, all the bad things that were coming will realize they have been played..

Option 2 - Texas succeeds and in a couple of years the red conservative states around Texas go with her and we hope TN is one of them.. If not I will simply move back to Tx... Already told the wife if Tx does start the process we are packing! I didnt serve 20 yrs in the Navy to have this happen to the country..

What we all must do is stay informed and do what we can to try and educate those people we know who are not the full blown left wing moonbats, as we will never convince them, short of them getting mugged or something like that, that the country is headed down a very bad path, that unless we do something and do it now we are destined to end up like Greece or Spain.. The thing that has me the most concerned is that BO will give all the illegals amnesty ensuring that the next Dem that runs will have plenty of new votes and get elected, and yes we all know that will probably be Hillary.. For those of you reading this that are 55 or older and consider yourselves Democrats you do realize that in todays world JFK would be a conservative Republican..If you dont think so consider this he was for a strong military, limited government and do you think he would have supported abortion and lets not forget his famous word, "its not what can your country do for you but what can you do for your country" Please take a good hard look at where the Dem party is going and what they are trying to accomplish.. If you dont support abortion except under certain circumstances, support the right to own a gun, think a person has the right to defend their home and family, want smaller government and lower taxes then you and the Dem party are on completely different pages..

Romney's position on Abortion had exceptions for Rape, Incest, and Safety of the Mother. Gov't shouldn't have the power to mandate what is covered in a Private Healthcare Policy. Birth Control is cheap and easily accessibile anyway! If you want people to have free birth control then donate your money to a local Womens Clinic! Gov't should get out of the Marriage business. Civil Unions should be all that is recognized. Bottom Line is a Majority of the Voting Public are Mooching off the Federal Government and they are not going to vote their FREE RIDE AWAY! Obama's policies have been a COMPLETE FAILURE!! 23 MILLION without JOBS, Real Unemployment in the Double Digits, Economy is in the gutter! But the Majority of the Voting Public doesn't care.... We are past the Tipping Point!!!

And if Republicans keep saying those same things in 4 years...... you will have 8 more years of Hillary. lol Here's the bottom line.... Angry white men (and their wives) aren't the majority anymore.

 

[SpurHunter]

He was elected because of racism, plain and simple. 93% of blacks voted for guess who??

 

[foodsaver]

I just can't wait for a white candidate for the democrats. Should eliminate some of the voter participation on that side...

 

[outcaster]

Any Democrat will get 90% of the Black vote which makes up only 13% of the electorate. So losing 3% of only 13% of the electorate is gonna push a Republican candidate over the top???? Doesn't add up. Better look for votes somewhere else. Republicans could have won this election, but kept putting their foot in their mouth.

I actually agree with the first line of your statement unless the republicans went out and got them a black candidate to oppose a white democrat. If that were to happen your theory would be shot. Just because the republicans stances on the issues aren't the most popular one's it also doesn't mean they aren't the right ones. I can also assure you that the ones that dig us out of this shit hole we have gotten ourselves into will not be the illegal immigrants or free loaders it will be the angry white man and woman...Wake up get some pride and look at the big picture free isn't free. If you want something in life tighten up your boots and bust your ass to get it!

I suspect Romney is actually quite lucky that the bummer won. I believe it impossible for anyone to avoid a huge bust in the near future. What has happened in this country over the last 70 years has finally reached a breaking point and it is imminent, regardless of who is in office. Pretty soon, the stock market will tumble, inflation due to the debt will soar, and the dollar will lose most of its value. The resulting depression will make the one in the 30's look tame by comparison. In the next depression, the dollar will not be king like it was in the 30's. Our government will not be able to borrow money to help us over the hump because our credit rating will be lower than any that's even published today. The most knowledgeable economists have warned over and over that what we are doing as a nation is unsustainable.

We're heading into uncharted waters where only the most resourceful people will make it OK. They will be the ones that will put food on the table and not starve. I watched with dismay as person after person in NY stood lamenting on TV that no one was providing for their well being after the storm. My God, they saw it coming and had many days to get ready. If they could not get ready, they should have used public transportation and got the hell out of dodge. That's what I call lack of foresight and planning. But, that's what this country has come to. Catastrophe is rushing toward us like a runaway train. Hold on boys, it's gonna be a rough ride. You ain't ever seen anything like it.

Evidence of inflation can be seen already in the grocery store. When inflation reaches 30%, calculations indicate most of the tax revenue will be used to make the increased debt payments. At 30% inflation, calculations indicate gasoline will retail for $9.00 per gallon. Many economists predict 100% inflation ahead. Anyone in office when that happens will be identified as public enemy number one and his party will pay a huge price for the foreseeable future. I believe the Democart party will be blamed.

Are you prepared?

...snip...Wake up get some pride and look at the big picture free isn't free. If you want something in life tighten up your boots and bust your ass to get it!

WELL SAID!

Definitely not the Democrat way of things now is it. SO MANY riding a free system and don't want to work. Capable people....Owners being taxed to death...health care hasn't topped out either. Why work? Dump all the cost and get it for free. I'm NOT GEARED that way and never will be. But I see it as a plant manager of a small business that has been making trailers since 1947. Owners cant afford to compete with FREE Benefits and a check from the Gooberment.

With China's population getting smarter (the new workers entering the force there) they are starting to demand better wages...benefits..cities with sewers and on and on. Its only a matter of time before manufacturing will pick back up here in the states but we are still a long ways from it. Its the only hope we have right now and Obummer ways aren't gonna get us there. I personally want to see the rich stay rich and pay my wages. Tax them some more and we wont have a leg to stand on and barley do now.

 

[bluewingjb]

You know I have to say in my perfect idea of a country there would be people who would starve unless churches or individual citizens helped them. I have no issue helping those that cant help themselves but those who chose to live on the government for years and years would be out of luck. I would put a time limit on how long a person who is capable of working, could collect. Its sad that so many people would rather just exist than to live life. You cant go to different places and see and do things when you just getting enough to get by but for many people thats good enough. As for a black Republican against a white Democrat well that isnt going to matter just ask Allen West down in Florida. He is not only a black Rep but a 20yr Army man who made it to Lt Col and was in the special forces. He came from inner city Atlanta so he had no silver spoon in his mouth. And yet unless the recount finds something he is going to loose his bid for re-election.. You know why because he was promoting a good work ethic and for people to help themselves get of Gov assistance.. The voters would rather have the hand out!! I feel like a man on a raft in the ocean with not country to call my own. Yep the people who are hurting so bad from the storm in most casts, just didnt make any plans or take any precautions.. Yep when it all goes to crap the city folks will be the first to go, they have no idea of how to get by without someone telling them what to do or modern conveniences.. I know I am not the only one on this board that has been stocking up on certain items!!

I know a paint contractor who was in a paint store getting paint for his next job when the district manager and the local supervisor came in. One store employee who is a firend of the contractor, said that management informed him that his hours were going to be cut to 29 hrs. per week. That made him a part-time employee. It was done to avoid paying for obammacare. Under the law, employees who work 30 or more hours per week must be provided healthcare as a benefit if the company has 50 or more employees. Alternatively, the company could pay a penalty for not providing health care for the employee. But, by making him a part timer, the company is not required to provide insurance or to pay a penalty. The employee will be forced to go to a local insurance excnange to get health coverage.

Do you think this to be accurate? If it is, there's gonna be a ton of part time employees pretty soon.
