Is the American Empire on the brink of a swift and total collapse?

Quote from endsongs:

I agree totally. The 1970's were actually America's last great decade. Personal and gov't debt levels were reasonable. Everybody could afford a house and a decent car. Inflation was a little high temporarily but because debt levels were so low, even if interest rates went up to compensate, the savings rate was high enough to offset it.

Then Reagan came in, tripled the national debt, and used that money to create the illusion of good times. People to this day still put Reagan on a pedestal without realizing that all he really did was triple the debt to create the facade of a good economy.

Where do you buy your Kool-Aid?

The 70s were awful--much like the last few years. However, I'll agree we overspent in the 80s-90s. Tax cuts were good; increasing spending wasn't.

The lost years of ~1966-1982, where both stocks and the economy stagnated, were largely the result of ridiculously high "progressive" tax rates and LBJ's garbage. The Reagan years got part of the solution right, but didn't cut spending or dismantle nearly enough bureacracy (including whole Federal departments) from the LBJ to Carter years.

Noam Chomsky Has ‘Never Seen Anything Like This’

We will be told that white males are a persecuted minority.

Other Chomskian drivel deleted for sanity's sake.

Friends of the Obama administration admit they make up race allegations against the Tea Party and others to win elections—and the media stands by and silently approves. Meanwhile the Black Panthers talk about killing cracker babies and intimidate other races outside of voting booths with night sticks and get away with it.

As usual, Chumpsky is 100% wrong.

AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get fuming mad over the mess!

Can you imagine if those had been klan members standing in front of polling stations intimidation blacks in 2008?????:eek: :eek: They would be in prison for a long, long time!

Add to that, the racist black panther wanting to kill cracker babies, and imagine if the same klan member with the night stick at the polling station shouted on a bullhorn "kill N____ babies" in 2008.:eek: :eek: :eek:

Both extremes are wrong, and sadly, this administration is showing that they are wrong in not prosecuting the black panther idiots for voter intimidation, a federal felony.

so let me get this straight

you are against too much spending and large government

but you are for wars, military buildup, and doing whatever Israel orders.

sorry buddy, the two are one and the same

Where did I say was for "wars, military buildup, and doing whatever Israel orders."

You completely read that into my post.

True. And it's been some very maverick and brave black conservatives who helped exposed the latest hypocrisy, namely this:


"Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness."

Mary Frances Berry, the former chairwoman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, writing in Politico

I'll even give Berry kudos for being so honest. But how she could think such a tactic is acceptable is beyond me (or anyone with a shred of integrity).

Alan Greenspan, in the last few days, stated that tax cuts DO NOT pay for themselves and they simply add to the deficit. He is in favor of letting Bush II's tax cuts expire. Maybe my kool-aid is less tainted than yours.

USA deserves to collapse

In case of the konkest of the USA it should be done from the Golf of Mexico and going North to Chicago at the East of the Missipi and then let the west cost make it's own federation, then refusion the all under the old Consitution. However in the wave, the Monsanto et al. have to be the first target.
