Reading his headlines is got me convinced that the end isn't coming anymore--It's begun.
Ebola, spreading and growing and little to no concern in the only country on the planet with wide open borders.
The Soviets are back and as bold and arrogant as ever, and us with the limpest dick in American (if not world) history.
American citizens are not only siding with but JOINING one of the most vile subhuman groups ever known, our Limp Dick in Charge is playing through.
Obvious low-life scum who obviously deserved what he got is practically raised to sainthood by a media who has become as big an enemy to the People as the afore-mentioned subhuman goat-effers.
Romney is back. I already voted for him once, to repeat expecting a different result? Sorry, I may be crazy, but I'm not insane.
Billy Crystal is a racist, naked people are running amok, and the fercryinoutloud VMA broadcast's ratings were down 18%!!!!!
I already cut myself off from fabricated network news, even Fox. Now Drudge depresses. The unicorn fart sniffers are winning, aren't they...

Any modernist or post-modernist will tell you that we've progressed since "the Dark Ages." I'm not so sure.
One of the fundamental truths about societies is that when things are going really good, there is an insistence to change and that's usually because the things that brought about success are viewed as no longer useful, often viewed as harmful.
50 years ago our forefather's foray into this nation was viewed as a good thing. Now we have fake Native American college professors teaching our kids how bad that was (and still is). Of course the culmination of our evil is offending non-Native American people by retaining the name of a sports team (Redskins)while the PC champions feel obligated to be offended on behalf of the Native Americans who really see no big deal with the teams name.
Our father's worked to provide for their families and our mothers occasionally worked but for the most part stayed home and raised their kids. That used to be revered as a worthwhile thing until the feminists seized the microphone and pretended to speak for all women in rejecting the role of motherhood. A sacred and vital part of the human family was thereby sold at auction for a handful of beans with the promise they would grow stalks that would reach the realm of giants. Children who don't have that direction anymore are left to learn all about life on the internet or via Twitter.
When cultures try to legislate rules under the guise of freedom, it never works. The reason it doesn't is because any morality must be based on A principle, not a majority vote or some feeling that happens to be in vogue. In order for any law to be deemed just, it must be acceptable to that morality or it's a law that gets ignored. Spitting in a subway is still a crime in Massachusetts, but it's not enforced because no one cares if someone else spits. So simply ignore the law. When a culture's or a nation's morality begins to waiver like a windsock depending on how people feel today or who is offended tomorrow, our system of laws turns into Jello. Witness our own President who disagrees with immigration laws and feels the correct thing to do is simply reject the rules that were codified into law. In short, it's every man his own Pope with his own sense of morality, his own sense of right and wrong. Truth, then, becomes ONLY relative. Might be true for you but not for me, and vice-versa. Therefore the application of laws, even the making of laws, becomes relative also. Thus we have things like affirmative action, different rules relative to the color of one's skin regardless of all other factors, and we think two wrongs will then equal a right.
But it never works because unless truth has a meaning, it has NO meaning, not even a relative one.
Unless or until we can come back together as a nation and acknowledge certain truths ARE true and thus apply to everyone at all times, then we will continue to disintegrate as a culture. History teaches us that every democratic society devolved to divisiveness and anarchy and then to dictatorship when those who thrust themselves into anarchy didn't like it when they got there, and would accept even slavery over having to fend for their own selves or their own safety. We're not too far from that I think.
Is there hope? Yes, but it takes time. In history, the people in society who were incessant radicals were usually those who were branded as heretics. That because of the close weave in European history between monarchies and churches. Initially, when a heretic was outed, their books and writings were burned, sometimes even the heretic was too. Nowadays, they have to simply die out on their own and their heresy - be it religious, political, scientific, or economic - generally lasts longer because they are still around to promote it. So we pretty much have to wait until the generation who were the 60s radicals to die out. Then the next generation where PC is their god has to die out. Who knows what will emerge after that, but it won't likely be any worse than we have now.
Until people finally get fed up to the point where they simply will not cooperate with lawmakers, as in torches and pitchforks taken to city hall, then there is no incentive for any politician to do anything except treat their job as a profession where you can get rich by wielding power and influence.

I agree, when you take away the moral compass, and replace it with law, it fails every time. Central planning and prohibitions are a failure every time they are tried. It will not change until the govt can no longer buy off the negative consequence and people feel the full of effect of being foolish.
There is hope, but not for a last minute change of direction, but of a grand hard lesson learned by survivors. The difference of us now and many of the past democracies, (and we truly are democracy on some things and a dictatorship on others since we are no longer a functioning republic), is for many of us, we have tasted freedom and self reliance and will not give it up for the promise of any authority, for those war will come .

Well if such a war was to happen during the current regime we can all rest assured that the moron in charge will have no plan. ISIS has been a threat prominently on the radar for at least a year now, warnings have been coming steadily about their finances, their brutality, and their intention to seize as much of the middle east as possible for their caliphate. What does our genius say today? He's putting the military on it, he's asked them to give him a wide range of options, he doesn't know what the plan will be yet.
Got news for you; the Pentagon already has a plan. There is a full-time staff that does nothing BUT draw up war plans for virtually every contingency one can think of. If Brazil invades the Marshall Islands, what do we do? That kind of thing. There is no way in hell there isn't already 10 plans on the shelf for these ISIS weenies. Problem is, more likely, they can't get the asshat to take 5 minutes away from golfing or political grandstanding to read the dang things.
Silence is a good tactic against an enemy of radical murderers like ISIS, but only when you're about to lay a serious ass-whuppin on them and murder more than a few of them. It's never a good tactic to be silent when you don't know what to do. Likely they are spending a lot of time trying to figure out who they can blame for escalating the response. The mighty O sure doesn't want that on his neck, though he took the oath and claimed to be willing to take the responsibility.
Right now ISIS has just taken over a Syrian air base complete with a squadron of advanced fighters. Why they haven't ordered that airfield evaporated is beyond me, but they surely need to deny them use of modern fighters. In fact, they should be raising lots of asphalt along the Syrian-Iraqi border to slow the bastages down and work on taking out their supply lines. This should have happened long before they got far into Iraq.
My strategery would be to launch round-the-clock airstrikes against as many ISIS targets as could be had in 3 days. Nothing bigger than a bicycle gets overlooked. The other thing that would do is help ferret out who's helping these guys, who is selling them arms, and where and how their money flows. All their money is useless unless it finds its way into a legitimate banking system, and it's there they will be weakest and most vulnerable.
But this clown will never do it. He's probably waiting for CNN and MSNBC to go shoot some B-roll footage of ISIS victims so when we start to do something our own media will convince us how wrong it is.

Oh I bet he has a plan for any domestic insurgency by anyone who even looks like the teaparty, and it won't the hesitant and feckless response he gives his fellow Islamic militants, he has made clear who he considers an enemy.
His problem is there is no plan that will not cost support from his base and as a result the dem party. He cannot afford to restart an Iraq war. And that could be serious with his new gamble to salvage the mid terms, because for all the impeachment talk going on now, it may become a reality if he acts in a blatant abuse of power like amnesty and a global warming treaty, and the GOP plays it smart to win the senate, he may find him self less than a lame duck, if he is still employed at all. Congress would have to if they want to keep any power at all. The dems may OK with a dictator when its their dictator, but will be 1000% opposite the minute they are not in power of heaven forbid a Republican is in the whitehouse, and once those powers a ceded, they will not be able to get them back because it would make all actions under those powers illegal and void.
Of course that won't happen with current leadership. THE GOP has but one single talent and that is to piss away certain victory. But both the president and congress is working them self into a corner that will force one or the other to make a move to decide the future of where the power of law comes from. It truly is a constitutional crisis, but because its not resolved in a 60 minute time frame people are not grasping the reach of all this yet.
As for ISIS, stepped up sustained campaign, and not pin prick strikes would be the immediate. I keep hearing how great they compared to the usually Islamic militant rabble, well if they are using conventional warfare that is one thing we are still the best at dismantling. Kill every piece of hardware that moves. Arm the Kurds. Anyone aiding them like Qatar, Saudi and Turkey the get the back channel warning that continued support of them will lead to some repercussions they will not want, while remindimng them of Russias aggressive posture and Irans and Assads ties to them.
None of that will happen either, this president is a dolt. Bush sounded like one, but this is what the actions of one looks like.

Talking to a neighbor last evening and he said something interesting. He thinks this ISIS threat of blowing up a city or whatever is very real and that assets are already in place in the US just waiting for orders or opportunity. My neighbor thinks the mighty O is only swatting them enough to keep the US #1 on their list and is actually hoping for some major disaster like a 911 so he can step in and "fix" it all. His theory is that O's gang is thinking that the US will not want to turn against their leader in a time of national crisis, and that would be the primo October surprise.
Personally, I wouldn't put it past him, but I doubt he's smart enough to put together something like that. He's the type who's always had someone hand him something and never actually had to go do it by himself. A lot of these "community organizer" types seem that way to me. They're great at stirring up other people to do something, and they only participate once they've created a human wave in front of themselves, if they participate at all. I think he executes his office the same exact way, he never really leads, just runs around being a salesman for actions others will have to take. If O-care is so great, for instance, why isn't he signing up his own family for those great benefits? No, he's only being its salesman, urging everyone else to go for it.
I expect the last two years of him will be full of nothing but economic disasters, running up the tab as high as he can knowing it will limit his successor's chances to do much of anything (lest the successor run up the debt, as though he never did it himself).
On an amusing note, a Gallup poll came out Wednesday that shows him drastically losing support of independents. Remember those, the group the media keeps telling the Republicans they can't win any elections without catering to them? Well the O fell into single digits for Independent "strongly support," and "support" of any kind fell like a stone. Yet the media says this isn't really important because, though he's lost some of his support, it remains high among his base. That's funny, because overall among all groups he has a 5+/4+ don't support/support ratio. Even Bush's numbers never got that high, yet it's O so it's okay, nothing to see here.

No, I don't think he thinks to that scale, but that sounds like something Valerie Jarrett might think they could get away with.
I suspect since the press has not only carried his water, but fanned him, and ported him to all his feasts as well, that they expect they will do so perpetually. However, once he is out, and its still falling apart, they will not be, 100% at least, blaming Bush or blaming who ever is next. Because after 8 years even the dumbest of dumbasses starts to get that it may be those who were running things fault nothing has changed. The press won't let the ideal of statism die because of its own failure once implemented, that will become the albatross of Obamas personal fault. Anything like a conspiracy to allow an attack would be tied around his neck like an anvil.

Oh I don't know... optimistic would be hoping some of those black-skivvie-waving asshats feel comfortable enough to ride around Pensacola parading their colors. Wouldn't be much of a contest... "Convert to Isla... - BOOM!" There, convert that! They don't seem to want to pick on anyone who'd fight back.
They'll screw up as all dictators do. They'll overextend themselves one day and when the fight gets brought back to them, no one will forget their ruthlessness so they better work on lining up their 92 virgins. First one they kill, they should stuff inside a pig, bury him in sheep dung, and let the media know it's because they chickened out and tried to convert to Judaism. Tie a few of their bodies upside down by one ankle and hang them on tanks as a warning to the rest of them. That's how they like to fight, so bring it to them the same way and watch how quickly they'll be begging the UN to condemn it.
I don't believe they are the fighting force some in the media claim them to be. No army ruled by fear ever is.

Optomistic? Heh, if thinking that Obama will be a scapegoat for failed ideas instead of deified, I guess the bar for optimism is pretty low anymore.
I had someone argue that ISIS is confined to that area over there, but I have read several reports of them everywhere recruiting, unless people think simply posting on face book is enough to get someone to get on a plane and go over there.

I haven't beheaded a chicken since I was 13, so ISIS is certainly welcome to come here if they wish to test their resolve. It's also a matter of priority. The Dept. of Homeland Security hasn't really said boo about those nitwits, but they HAVE issued two written warnings about the potential dangers of former US military as domestic terrorists. Therefore I think my time would be better spent keeping an eye on the local VFW and American Legion posts. If an ISIS weenie happens by, well, all I can say is I have a lot of pork chops in my freezer so they will not lack for a suppository as they are fed to the fire ants.
