Tea Parties...

The recent "Tea Parties" held around the country are not as the MSM would have you believe merely about taxation, but rather about the runaway spending that has escalated inside the DC beltway.

But the efforts to short-circuit them (i.e. Janeane Garofollo's rant on racists), and joke about them is going to, in the end, backfire. The people who attended them, weren't racists, they were on the whole, people who DON'T attend political protests. Nor were they "right wingnuts". Just people who are afraid of mortgaging our grand children's future.

Out of control government spending is not going to solve the financial crisis, it's going to exacerbate it. Obama wants to triple the national debt. His spending makes that of Geo. Bush look like an amateur

"In the first independent analysis, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office concluded that President Obama's budget would rack up massive deficits even after the economy recovers, forcing the nation to borrow nearly $9.3 trillion over the next decade."

It clearly shows that Obama's projected spending will literally bankrupt the country in 10 years. I say bankrupt, because we cannot sustain this level of spending without a massive increase in taxation across the board. On the otherhand, borrowing the money through bond issues isn't a viable alternative either. The last bond issue of the US Treasury didn't sell out, for the 1st time in our history, neither did the British sale, held on the same day. The Chinese government, the largest holder of US debt, has recently begun selling off some of the notes they presently hold. If the Chinese aren't buying US Government debt, who will?

Obamamessiah

Barak Hussein Obama is on the threshold of attaining the nomination of the Democratic Party...he's just another Jimmy Carter, multi-ethnic course.

I firmly believe that he will be far more disasterous than Mr. Carter has been.

90% of the problems that we face in the middle east stem from Mr. Carter's failure to deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Until the Carter Doctrine, if the citizens of one country attacked the embassy of another, either by entering the grounds or seizing diplomats, it was considered an act of war. His failure to act against the taking of the embassy and the 44 (? or 43) diplomats hostage, has emboldened out enemies everywhere.

We are now reaping nearly 30 years fruit of the failure to act, and thus, have a presidential candidate who has stated many, many times in public and on his campaign website that he will negotiate, without preconditions with the President of Iran. This will be a foreign policy disaster of monumental porportions. The only thing worse Mr. Obama could possibly do would be to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq...which is something he has stated he will do.

These actions will not make a regional war less likely, on the contrary, they will make the coming conflagration far more likely, and thus, much more difficult to defeat. None of our present allies will be likely to assist us, and contrary to what the public thinks, we do have many allies in Iraq, from the Australians, Poles, Romanians, etc. (many are formely Warsaw Pact Nations, and thus VERY familiar w/oppression).

Additionally, failure to block Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, will make a regional war inevitable. They will strike at Israel who will (having 300-600 weapons of their own) retaliate on ALL of the Muslim countries of the region in an effort to forstall their own destruction.

So...what do you think? Comments are greatly
