Geopolitics And The Budget

We have a number of serious issues right on our door, including geopolitical concerns and the fiscal cliff. Our current administration has its head firmly in its posterior, not wanting take responsibility for its prior actions. We'll talk about it all, and none of it's good.

Seriously, do you think he's got the balls to continue blaming Bush throughout this election cycle? We know the media sure as ** won't call him on it, even if he does so. ---------- We're *ed.

Did I say BULLISH? ---------- This stuff we're going through, this is nothing compared to the Middle Ages. They told me if I voted for John McCain, an idiot would be a heartbeat away from the presidency. Sure enough... 2012-09-17 16:23:52 Permalink

As I recall it took about 3 days to start reporting on the riots in the UK last year, and it seemed like a week to report on the rioting in the suburbs in France in 2007. So it will be interesting to see what the timing will be on reports out of the PRC. (And why SHOULDN'T they run reports? Will enough people know to link PRC problems back to Fed printing if the media doesn't draw the connection for them?) ---------- It's not an issue of "cooperation" vs "go it alone": it's a question of involuntary vs voluntary relationships. 2012-09-17 17:07:49 Permalink
Satindoll Posts: 27 Incept: 2011-10-20 Banned	Islam is at war with the rest of the world, and their foremost weapons are economic warfare and the womb. Getting a Muslim into the White House would be typical of Islam's strategy - and communism's too - to bring Western Civilization to it's knees. From The Audacity Of Hope, I WILL STAND WITH THEM (MUSLIMS) SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS OF WAR SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION. How can anyone doubt that BHO2 is a Muslim? 2012-09-17 20:03:06 Permalink

Satindoll Posts: 27 Incept: 2011-10-20 Banned	Duc88 - Islam has been at war with non-believers, or kafir, for 1400 years. We're not at war with anyone, and we will leave those bases when asked to do so, as the US is on those bases by invitation. 2012-09-18 00:42:39 Permalink
Geschrei Posts: 473 Incept: 2009-02-23	I will have to take issue with Karl on his stated point that the only reason we are continually under the threat of violence in Islamic countries is because they are motivated by religious hatred. While that is certainly a major part of it, and most likely the most important reason, it is not the only one. Ultimately, it has more to do with the US attempting to influence those nations to act in our best interest instead of their own. If they want to revert to the 13th century, I say we let them. I don't care if oil goes to $300 a barrell (which, if we continue our present policies, will happen regardless). We need to get the hell out of the ME. It's not like our presence there is making the world a safer place. ---------- The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern. Every class is unfit to govern.
