I like your blog. Would you consider exchanging links?
I don’t care whether links and comments agree or disagree as long as they are witty or intelligent, as your blog is. The important thing is that we have intelligent discussions to improve America.
Our future is what we make it. Idiot Congress and elected officials have proven by example that if we do nothing, we have no future. The first step is never to vote for the person currently in office.
It helps to have some entertainment, satire and laughs along the journey.

Holy Shit! Is there enough people working today to pay for it? Are we counting on our kids, kids, kids tax dollars? What do yo think Obama is going to slash first- I’d bet military- much to my chagrin.
What is he going to cut? Ha ha ha oh that was a good one. “He” (even though he’s not really the one in control) is going to SPEND, SPEND, SPEND. “Civilian national security force” as large and well-funded as the military. $850 billion ON TOP OF Bush’s $700 billion (which is now well over $1 trillion) for bank bailouts. He was funded by the banksters (he raised $750 MILLION for his campaign – largely from corporations and banks) and he will continue throwing hundreds of billions of dollars their way. He will most certainly NOT cut military spending. In fact, he’s talking about war in Pakistan and Georgia, on top of the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts. He is bringing on the same failed members from the Bush 1, Clinton, and Bush administrations and the same old bull you have been dealing with your whole life will continue and get worse. Obama’s idea to save the economy is to spend more money, which they are creating out of thin air, which raises inflation, which is one of the MAJOR things that is causing this problem. So his solution will make it worse, but he will continue to SPEND, SPEND, SPEND until the dollar collapses and there are riots in the street. It may be coming faster than you think.
lol
obama will be spending much more in military then they are now..
thats for sure!
Afghanistan troop level to double in 2009
See?
I don’t think he will do war with pakistan.
He already is.
