Political Prediction


The older I get, the more politically pessimistic I find myself. Of course, in the past seven years, I’ve lived through a mishandled “pre-emptive” war of dire urgency, four years of the Reid-Pelosi drunken-sailor-spending machine, and two years of the ineptitude-at-best, socialism-lite-at-worse dishonest system of Obamanomics. Also, the fact that I’ve been unemployed for 18 months doesn’t sunny my disposition none.

Anyway, here’s a blunt mathematical-political prediction.


The odds that America submits itself to Sharia law or negotiates a peace treaty with Osama bin Laden, within nine years, is greater than 50 percent.


Why do I write this?

For this simple observation: Who would have thought in the immediate days and weeks after September 11, 2001, that nine years later 50 percent of Americans would elect a politician named Barack Hussein Obama and that this politician, arguably the most left-leaning leader we’ve had in seventy years, would publicly and fearlessly state that it is American to allow a mosque named after the Cordoba conquest to be built overlooking Ground Zero?

How can I be optimistic in this environment?

Oh, wait, mid-term elections are only two-and-a-half months away!

Hopefully, the stupid party will splash sound bites of Obama in favor of the mosque all over the airwaves so our notoriously short-termed memory doesn’t allow us to vote for our own self-destruction.

There. Rant over.

Wait – one more:


Our freedoms are not invitations – nor demands – to self-immolation. Neither do they necessarily lead to our self-destruction in order to remain true to them.


Let me state that last part again.


Our freedoms do not need to necessarily lead to our self-destruction in order for us to remain true to them.


We need a speech on that sentence from our Dear Leader(s).
