They should now fly "The Jolly Roger" over the white house.
So you don't believe in democracy?

Oh the hypocrisy. For 12 years we have listened to nothing but tantrums from the left.

Gore lost.
Bush won.
Bush was re-elected.
The Left went insane and screamed for 12. Solid. Years. Whining and crying. Even when they won, they continued to cry, whine and seethe.

Liberals, you are a bunch of hypocrites.

REALLY?! Thank you for finally admitting that the Left is full of children.

It's EXACTLY what the Yippies/Black Panthers/SDS Students did in the sixties. The yummy irony is that he's joining the very movements he probably hates with a passion. It's like the sixties are back. Only this time the movement has guys with really short hair who actually like the Republican party.

It's the Young Republicans who voted for Nixon.... only on acid.
No, the "yummy irony" is watching liberals NOW ACT like this is a bad thing when it used to A OK...you know, as long as it's THEM doing it. Liberal mantra: "Ok for me, but not for thee!" HYPOCRITES!

I'm sorry, have you seen the left for the past 12 years? People actually DO throw their tantrums in public. There is plenty of footage of those on the left doing just that.

Hypocrites, I stopped on page 25 because it was just too easy. Of course, in your rage for being called out, you will resort to your usual tactics of stuffing your fingers in your ears, screaming some insult of the day, whatever moron.org told you to say, you will lash back and claim you didn't act like this....but you did.

You did. For 12 years. In other words, NONE of you have a DAMN thing to say about anyone else right now. Hypocrites.

Oh, the irony of your post. The fact that you only critiqued the comments made by liberals, especially given some of the things that conservatives have said on this thread, is just unbelievable. Crying hypocrisy while being a hypocrite is just plain sad.

But congrats on this:

I like a democratic system. I just think this country is done. I don't think we can survive 4 more years of obama given the damage he's done in the first 3.5. He's a lousy leader. He makes poor financial decision. He just talks a good line. His actions show he's inept. He's either too stupid to run this country or he's trying to destroy this country. HE wants to make it a socialist country. I believe that is his goal but he'll have to destroy it first.

You can sit around and watch that happen if you want. You can pay the bill when obama's bill comes due, and it will come due....That's the problem with ubrideled spending. Eventually, the creditors want to be paid and then what do you do? What obama is doing is selling us to China. China holds enough of our national debt to be making demands of our government now. Add 6-8 trillion mor and they'll be in a great position to tell us what to do....

And people VOTED FOR THIS????
You don't like a democratic system. If you did, you would accept that the PEOPLE voted and this is our government.

I agree with your sentiments completely ... though it's actually worse .... what you warn of has already happened ... that's why the FED is buying Treasuries ... nobody else will, including China. They call this monetizing the debt ... but what it really means is Weimar Republic ... as the FED/Treasury is now just printing money without the associated sale of securities. And it's been going on for a long while now ... the only reason that we haven't already seen massive inflation is because most of that money never reached the general economy, and has been shuffled between financial institutions, and landing in the pockets of the crooks who are converting it into real assets for themselves.



Again, I'm with you in spirit here .. but let me make a couple of tweaks to the narrative .... China is in just the same vulnerable position as we are, and maybe even worse, since they've got three times as many mouths to feed ... and no matter how much manufacturing they've taken over ... they still need someone to buy their trinkets or they are up the creek without a paddle. The US Dollar collapse has already occurred .... just no one knows it yet. And it's value has been nothing more than a perception since 1971.

But the massive debt that has been accumulated is as much an illusion as is the value of the dollar. This debt is just entries into an accounting system which simply keeps count of what has been stolen .. nothing more. And while European countries have allowed that illusion to fester and destroy the livelihoods of it's citizens, by agreeing to pay this extortion racket of the bankers .... the way out of such messes has already been defined and the course charted. Iceland showed the way. They told the banker gangsters to take a hike ... "we ain't paying" and they threw a few of them, including corrupt government officials behind bars, and put out warrants for some others who fled to Europe and will not likely choose to vacation in Iceland anytime soon.

The goal is to create a global economic collapse in order for these gangsters to introduce their "solution" .. which is more centralized control leading to an electronic monetary system that they control. They'll issue you a chip or smart card to which all of your "global credits" (dollars) are held, which they can take anytime they want. And they'll have total control over you, because if you don't comply, they'll just turn off your chip ... and you won't be able to buy a thing. That's where this is heading, but they want to make the suffering sufficient enough that you BEG them for their solution.



Now here's where we're a bit separate .. one thing that is important to understand, and people need to break out of this fantasy land that has been created .... Obama has personally done nothing, other than provide the image of someone in charge. He's just the latest "spokesperson" for the Globalist criminals who really decide the course of the nation, because they control the money. That was true of Bush, and Clinton too .. and just about every other president since 1963. That president didn't bow to the money masters, so they killed him. So blaming Obama ... and the lefties blaming Bush is just feeding into that illusion.

Now, we really have no idea how much real support or real votes went to Obama and Romney. All we know is what the media says, and we already know they are liars, one and all. They say the unemployment rate is 8.9 % ... and it's really 22%. Then they say a week later ... it's down to 8.2% and the economy is recovering. It's a total fraud, top to bottom ... World Wrestling Federation is more real ... Hulk Hogan is more real.

Keep in mind ... in October ... did anyone hear about this "Fiscal Cliff" (the new buzz word of the week) that's heading for us like a Great White Shark? No ... that came the day AFTER the election. Did you watch the gas prices fall leading up to the election? Did you see how Hurricane Sandy literally obliterated the serious discussions of other problematic issues for Obama ... like Benghazi ?

There's a saying .... politics is just Hollywood for ugly people. and that's about the gist of it. It's a production ... the talking heads on TV tell people what to think, and so they do. That's why nobody seems to find it strange that we've been fighting "Al Qaeda" for a decade, yet we provide them military assistance to overthrow Libya? Hows that make sense? Well, it makes no sense, but doesn't need to make sense ... because the drooling masses cannot even manage a coherent thought anymore. We're bombarded with lies and distortions and contradictions purposely .. and what this does is it creates this insane uncertainty of what is actually real and truthful, and so, listen to Chris Mathews ... or listed to Bill O'Reilly, and just believe one of them ... take your pick. It doesn't matter who you believe ... it only matters that you believe something.

There's a lot more going on here than meets the eye. I'm tired. So it will have to wait.
What I highligted in your post is true, in the book of Revelations it is referred to as The Mark of the Beast, it will be a one world order system eventually. But as you said Obama is just the fall guy...I voted for him and I like him. I think what the OP did is disgusting and he is a refugee, if he cant stand up for country despite who is running it he should gladly leave. I pray that he will never need any form of govt assistance with that sort of mentality..not necessarily welfare but assistance for his farm or some other diaster relief aid. It is a sad sentiment that isnt just sad nationally but internationally the world sees the Obama defect of how Americans are turning against him, alot of it is deep rooted hatred that was never dealt with from the past. I have NO respect for anyone that lives in this great nation and is going to dispargingly hang a flag upside down...you are just as bad as Middle Easterners protesting in the streets burning our American Flag, men and women are dying left and right for that red white and blue and here you are disrespecting them!! Go hang out with Al Quida (sp) because its the same type of spirit and hatred. Extremly sad...This is to the OP...Go to Russia, go somewhere where you think life is better for your kind. You are defecto

Did I say that I thought it was the end of the world? No

Why should "whatever God anyone believes in" want to bless a country that not turns their backs on anything "Godly," but common sense morals as a whole?

It's a good bet, there were plenty of Romans who thought things were fine. The collapse of the Roman Empire was brought on by debt, a complete breakdown of their moral structure, and the arrogance to believe they could do anything, and Rome would never collapse. However, It did and so can the US for the very same reasons.

Yes, history shows us why the greatest civilizations have always had a finite lifespan. Why is it that we never seem to believe history pertains to us? The weakest links in every civilization are the citizens who lose their perspective of personal responsibility and the corrupt leadership that fleece the treasury.

Rome as a Republic lasted 482 years. Does anyone see the US lasting another 250 years?

As opposed to the Liberal protestors of the 60s and 70s who were burning the flag right here? These are the people who make up the bulk of DNC leadership now.

So you condemn people who burned the flag in the 60s and 70s but support someone who just threw away the very flag he flew at his home in 2012?
