Title: Obama's re-election
Post by: Badgersmilk on December 16, 2009, 10:33:12 AM
Not a poll on what do you WANT to happen, but what do you THINK will happen.

Don't forget there may be a little dishonesty involved.  You probably didn't vote for him last time.

If you live in Michigan you'd better vote option 1! (look what's been going on around you!).

With the way things are going and our government ramming devastating legislation down our throats. I will be surprised if we don't start seeing riots before the mid terms. Just isolated at first. But.... If we continue down this path, there will be only one way to reverse it. The same way we did it in 1776.

I'm torn between continuing like we have historically, and it will be a tight race between the BHO zombies, and who ever the other sides put up.  BHO's best hope is that it is him against two others, and we will split our vote giving him a second term with a minority vote.

The other side follows JC's scenerio of unrest.  If past thoughts that all will be low key until after the 2010 elections, and then they will hit full force with their change and no hope agenda, we will see civil unrest.  Civil unrest will lead to shutting us down and out, and the beginning of a dictatorship ... for our own good  >:(

I am going to try and remain cautiously optomistic ... very vigilant, but optomistic.  There are too many tools at his disposal, and his continuing afair with the blue helmet crew lead me to be wary of what he could pull on us if we don't fight.

Even today if you label any of us as a "Terrorist" you loose ALL rights until proven innocent.  With no promise of a trial EVER you can be jailed as long as they see fit.  That's one sure fire easy way to eliminate competition.  And it's what I'm afraid would happen to anyone rioting, or even organizing rally's against the big man as time passes and the people have less and less control.

This country has too many "Entitlement HO's" who need  Obama  to keep their checks coming.

More folks get checks from various governments than actually work producing something of value. Those folks will vote for Obama en mass, insuring his re election.  >:(

If you can find it, you need to read General Petraus' foreward/intro in the counter-insurgency manual (FM3-24).  It fits OUR political system today--Dems/progressives are the insurgents that just got into power, RINO's are the old warlord faction now pushed out of power.  Little people still lose.

The plan for success is clearly laid out, too.  The problem is that COIN requires PERFECTION to work, or at least a lot closer to perfect than most are able to achieve.

I don't know about that, Washington, Mao, and Ho Chi Mihn all won through persistence and simply not losing long than their foes could sustain their efforts to win.

Can I be secretary of state. First things first the companys that left this country when slick willy signed the nafta agreement has 1 year to return to this country and start employing U.S. citizens or we will tax them 350 % on everything they ship into this country. Plus each state will be required to tax them 350 % on every thing they sell in their state until they comply. That should get the jobs back into this country and reduce the unemployment rate.

I agree, but we've had outside help. For example, the SDS and Weather Underground were actively supported by our enemies. International labor infiltrated by socialists and commies have worked hard to pervert the American dream.

My plan is that the limited operations of the Federal Government would be funded largely through tariffs rather than by taxing individuals,
I would set a flat rate on all imports and exports (say 10% ) American owned companies with production OUT SIDE the US (ex ; Fords made in Mexico ) would pay a penalty of +5%, foreign owned Companies with production INSIDE the US (Toyota in Ca. Kawisaki in Wi. ) would get a -%5 break.  
As far as Secretary of State goes, The main requirement is do you think you can beat up Hugo Chavez or Vladimir Putin ? (They are both relatively young with military backgrounds )

Pathfinder, sorry, there will not be a Secretary of Defense. If you are interested in running the War Department we have a deal  ;D
 I would like to take this chance to ask Billt and KPR if either of them are interested in running the Treasury Dept. Any one who can afford collections like they have must be able to handle a check book which is more qualifications than the current guy has.

Tom,

I want to be director of the CIA, Homeland Security, NSA, FBI and BATF.  Everything under a Department of Intelligence & Action and not the Department of Justice or other agencies or departments responsible for taxation, census or disbursement of government funds to individuals/corporations or government agencies or foreign governements.  No responsibility within for direct accumulation of taxes or disbursement of funds so that there will be no conflict of interest when investigating and prosecuting criminal actions.

For consideration, you must promise to remove Reagan's Presidential Order that froze public access to new machine guns and you must pledge to overturn the NFA Act either by ruling as being unconstitutional or by agreeing to work in persuading Congress and Senate to rescind (if for no other reason than to show that you can work with people to acheive the greater good  ;D .)

OK, in the spirit of concensus I'll go with that, just so long as we can return to the days when anyone could drive to the local feed store and pick up a box of dynamite to blow stumps with (or blow swimming holes or whatever).   Next time I go home...I'll have drive around back of the feed store to see if the old storage building is still there.

I'm not an old man, but I remember those days. Cost $35 for a blasting/purchasing permit that was good for 1 month. Bought the stuff at Moultrie Feed and Seed. Leftovers had to be disposed of before the permit ran out.

As a side note, my family dentist found a half case of dynamite in a closet at his office about 10 years ago or so. It had been there for 15 years. He had bought it to clear land for his new house and barn and stored it there and forgot about it. Ordinance Disposal from Moody AFB in Valdosta had to come up and remove it.




I also know how high a stick of dynamite will lift an old refrigerator.    ;D  ;D

I remember the Old man being PO'd because they made him show his drivers license, (whats the damn world coming to when you have to show your license to get dynamite ? ).

Don't underestimate Chavez in a brawl He started out in the Venezuelan Airborne, so he's probably in pretty good shape, Putins less impressive, he made HIS living busting Soviet Dissidents.

There's an old joke Tom. The various branch heads were called in to secure  a building. The Marines blew it up. The Army fortified it. The Navy painted it grey and polished the door knobs. The Airforce took out a ten year renewable lease. CIA? Well no one knows what happened, but the building was blown up and everyone blames the Marines, and the realtor hasn't been heard from. ;D
