This prediction isn't far fetched. I had one where UK would be in second civil war in 2010.
When I had the prediction in 2002, things were so different. Now you've got the financial crisis, overbearing governments.....

Now you see how the other side feels. Take a lesson, it is NEVER just one person or party, but Ill guess that in your mind Pres. Bush was blamed for all the problems of the past 8 years.

C'mon CC, you are chasing clouds if you believe all of that statemen.
I didn't agree with Paul on the war even though I respect a lot of what he says. No matter how much you may have reason to dislike Bush it is the one thing he did that short term history will show was necessary. All the bantering about WMD was agreed a scam to get us committed to that process. What people need to understand that the basics of thatprocess was to put boots on the ground in the heart of the nest and kill the enemy. Guess what it worked. In spite of all the naysayers that I opposed for almost two years on this blog alone, it worked as i took every opportunity to tell you it would.
Now Kucinich. He wants to rectify the housing crisis in the same demwit fashion as those that created that crisis. If you work your ass off and play by the rules for thirty years and see the guy across the street instead of going bankrupt or starting over from ridiculous mistakes end up as well off as you,- it is going to p.ss you off. That ain't what this country is all about. I hope it is not.
Mistakes were made, in this case not by conservatives. Don't even try to argue that because the public record is clear. The bread crumbs lead right back to Frank, Dodd,Pelosi, Shumer, et al.
What this country need is a schtyk, a big f....ng schtyck, at your service. Better laugh than cry, cause de a whole lot a cryin left ta come Andy.

I just defined "they" for you with respect to who hurt the people. They are the reps and senators that voted for a house for everyone regardless of whether they could pay or not. In the state I now live in. it is not uncommon for a person to have purchased a house or condo for $400K and sell for $300K. It is even routine for the last three years. Their purchasing life is over for a while.Conservatives did not make that happen. Your heroes made that happen. If I rig the process so as to give you money that you can't pay back, did I help you when I blew your credit and credibility to smitherenes and set you out in the street. No matter how you wanted it, may have pleaded and begged, did I help you? No, you thought I was your friend and I destroyed you. Is that what you admire in a President CC? These people did this for their own political benifit and you must know they knew what they were doing? If they didn't know what they were doing they were dumber than dirt.

The quality of a lie is not improved by repeating it ad infinitum. All you damage is your own credibility.

And I believe it.. makes me glad I live in a nice, sparsely populated state.
If for some reason there becomes a shortage of food then yes. Food would be what brings on the big big problems. You can always sleep with extra blankets and wear sweaters indoors if you have to cut back on heat. You can find ways to cut back on using a car or share a ride, bicycle in to work, use the bus. You can wear last years clothes, move in with relatives if you lose a house or find a cheap rental. Food shortages would lead to riots.

The idea that the US can plunge into civil war any time soon gets poo pooed a lot. "It won't happen", it CAN"T " happen "Oh you paranoid types" etc etc ad nauseum. I hope it doesn't happen, but, a lot of what I'm hearing and seeing is a tad scary. The government buying controling interests in banks and sureity companies with taxpayer funds, talk of siezing private financial assets under the flag of "spreading the wealth", higher taxes being touted as "needed" and as the answer to our woes. Yea, give the government more and more power in our lives and we won't have to worry. They will shoulder our burdens for us. I'm not quite ready to run for the hills yet, but I'd rather be ready to than get caught flat footed. It CAN happen here.

It's good that my social network are virtually all doom and gloomers, because it's a lot of fun to mention it to underwater homeowners as well as flooding "Dr." Art Laffer's (what a name lol) inbox after he was humiliated on the Bill Maher show concerning with his lost bet to Peter Schiff.

Well, if it isn't Mr. Google himself publicly denouncing the "facts ". The "facts" are going to taste as foul as a prison yard snicker bar when the facts are all in Mr. Google.
