    Default Is it just me?

    The country (the world, maybe) seems upside down to me, lately. Logic and sense have gone out the window. It feels like we are floating on a sea of backwards thinking. Right is wrong, evil is good, etc. I don't have to list the reasons for this crowd- I trust you know all too well what I am talking about. I think this is why I am feeling increasingly anxious and down at the same time whenever I watch or think about current events.

    I hope we survive it all. If one of these Dem candidates wins the WH, I am not so sure we will.

    That's what happens when you have liberals in charge for so long. The rest of the nation is dying for change, ANY change. "Hopey changey"

    The saddest thing is that about half of America disagrees with you and loves the Democrats.

    It's hard to keep the faith, sometimes.

    I'm still optimistic that we'll correct ourselves, though.

    There's going to be a LOT more over-the-top things coming down the pike soon, as Obama's time shortens. He's proving his stated goal of 'fundamentally transforming America' and with no repercussions it's going to get ugly. His actions are going to drive droves of voters to the right as he makes sure to leave a lasting legacy.

    That's my light at the end of the tunnel.

    I agree that this is a fantastic possibility but given the top candidate's numbers, the proven failure of MOST of our so-called Conservative leaders and the successful victory over MOST of our college & public school campuses/literature.....I see us on a fast spiral with HOPE of the toilet flushing a bit slower and "inefficiently" leaving some to carry on the GRANDNESS of REAL America......not that any of that was a good analogy. I even had to laugh writing it but I do see the system as a major FAIL and it'll have to get much, Much, MUCH worse before it can ever be "rebooted".

    It will be very interesting to see if B.O. ever leaves OUR White House and I see, more than ever, the strategy he has put in place by keeping Christians OUT and bringing more and more muSLUMS in.....and scatter throughout regions of America that has never had muSLUMS.

    Have ya'll seen this?

    The talk in Democratic Party circles is that Barack Obama has told Joe Biden that he is prepared to endorse him for president if, in return, Biden promises to let Obama have a final say in the choice of his vice presidential running mate.


    According to these Democratic sources, Biden is mulling over the president’s conditional offer of support.


    In addition, there is speculation among top Democratic sources that Obama has another quid pro quo for his endorsement: he wants Biden to choose an African American as his vice presidential running mate.


    In this scenario, which Obama has not yet fully explained to Biden, Biden would promise to serve only one term in the White House, after which he would back his vice president to succeed him.

    Deval Patrick. Hmmm....at least he doesn't "appear" to be gay. It would be ironic if he turned out to be a closeted gay though, eh?

    Biden would be wise to decline the offer post haste. I could see a sudden accident befalling Biden should he win that presidency. Just sayin.....

    Unfortunately, we seem to be closer to 'the end times' than we previously feared. In addition to Obama, the obviously anti-Israel president, we now have an apparently pro-Marxist pope. Communism is now in control of several major nations around the globe (China, N. Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, etc.)....

    and the rest of the nations that are supposedly capitalist-based democracies have been hijacked and taken over by the socialists (communists w/a smiley face) and are, as we speak, fundamentally transforming us into a...quite literally...hell on earth cesspool via their commie policies, massive foreign immigration and hatred for everything Christian and to do with God or Jesus.

    We know what's going on, don't we? We are just helpless to stop it. Nothing will. Biblical prophecy WILL be fulfilled.

    Which is exactly the problem with anyone stupid enough to pick Hillary as their VP.

    A succinct way of saying what I was trying to convey. And I am always a fan of brevity.
