Ironically, only age is mentioned in these conclusions. Why isn't mental accomplishment, intelligence quotient and experience used on the scale of who should live and who should die and at what age? In other words, if you think thirty twenty year old idiots should live and one eighty year old accomplished, highly intelligent individual such as Thomas Sowell die because he has outlived his physical usefulness and has fewer years left to live, then I hope I am not on the panel to make the decision because I am seventy-seven and if I consigned an eighty year old to his death, mine would be next, so to speak, and I am not quite ready to go!

The trouble with hand outs is that sooner than later they weaken the society. Instead of rearing our young to work for whatever they want in life, now, we are teaching them to beg. Anyone who wants a free ride in life without making a concerted effort on his or her part to earn a part of any dream deserves to lose it all. For sixty-eight of my seventy-six years, I have been self sustaining. I have been working since I was nine, when I harvested crops for the war effort, and have never been unemployed. Obama's aunt, reflects what many think about our nation, we owe it to the world to provide for everyone. We don't and the sooner we tell people like Obama's aunt the better. Maybe, it is just time to dump the whole lot and start over again. I bet that if enough people get hungry enough, they can find work to buy food, if not, then they won't have to worry about losing weight, it will come with time! If we don't dump the Liberals as soon as we can, we will all be getting thinner and Michelle can claim success by economic breakdown. Of course, that will never happen, because it will have to be someone else's fault.

I see that Senator Ron Wyden backed out of Obamacare today after voting for it. One thing about Liberals, they are like greased pigs and pretty hard to catch. Backing out today is a day late and many millions of dollars short in my books. I wonder how many Acorn workers he will need to get re-elected and where they will be turning in the phony ballots? I mail in my ballot and he can rest assured his change of heart was wasted on me although I am sure there are plenty of Liberal suckers in Oregon to put him back in office. I have been a registered Democrat for over fifty-five years and always a Conservative.

I doubt that the unemployed appreciate the humor of a befuddled Obama because our nation needs a leader who knows what he is doing. Unfortunately, Obama is not and has never been a leader but would make a great huckster selling cars, or furniture or tacos, but never American dreams because all he seems to generate is nightmares!

This whole charade of blaming the Republicans for what the Liberals did with Fannie and Freddie is a laugh a minute. A problem with the American voter is that he/she does not bother to investigate the motives behind why anyone in his or her right mind would run for Congress, or any public office, for that matter. Years ago, it might have been pride in country that would motivate someone, now, it appears to be greed and power. If we had spent one tenth of the time investigating Obama then, we might not be in the fix we are in now. Instead, the majority of the population seemed to follow the Liberal/fringe media into the liars den. No mistake, I meant liar not lion!

Surprisingly, while many Liberals/Progressives were touting how brilliant Obama was, I maintained that he was all smoke and mirrors the moment he appeared on the political scene. I ran across and article which summed up the whole Obama creation process and it would benefit every American to read it. Try: http://www.westernjournalism.com/?page_id=3107 and see what you think. This whole process was carefully orchestrated to incite the imagination of the American people to a fever pitch and insure success, and it worked, beautifully. Like a Hollywood production, the Americans will have to pay a dear price for admission and the price will increase daily until we are all broke and broken. After this is accomplished, Socalism will be easy to install. Ironically, we did it to ourselves, which is where most once great nations fall by the wayside. It has been a costly experiment, hasn't it? Even if we can turn this thing around, the damage that has already been done will linger for many years.

One doesn't need a crystal ball to see what is in our future, if we have one! I tried despirately in 2007 and 2008 to convince people what would happen if Obama was elected, but my warnings fell on deaf, brain washed ears. Now, many of those same people are starting to call telling me that they finally see what I was talking about. I wonder how many historians are scratching their heads now trying to figure out how to stop this destruction of our whole way of life? For over two hundred and thirty years we have fought and died to defend our nation from external forces and are now seeing it destroyed from within. Our children's future rests in the hands of those who will save it for them. Do nothing, and they will curse you all the days of their lives!

One would think that Alaska would be a more appropriate site for the terrorists. It might cool some of their asperations of world domination. In fact, it wouldn't be a bad place to send a number of our current prisioners. I don't mean the populated areas of Alaska, There are areas where we would not have to construct fences even. It would save the taxpayers a great deal of money and food drops could be made by airplane and we wouldn't even need guards. I am sure that there are plenty of "how to build an igloo" books around to drop along with the food. The care and feeding of these people is enough to turn the stomachs of many Americans. We seem to value the opinion of our enemies more than we do our own citizens. Personally, I don't care what they think!
