Obama and his cronies have ripped this country to shreds by dilebertly pushing us into a bottomless pit of debt, firing our most competent military leaders, racial disharmony, and we have lost the respect of our former alies. It is hard for me to trust anyone employed by the federal government with their attitude of ownership of what used to be our land, the total inept management of federal lands. It is the old success of divide and conquer that Our current administration is using to reduce us to a crippled country ready for take over by any outside country with a full scrotum. The last step in preparing us for unfriendly take over and subjugation would be taking firearms to render us ineffective in protection of our Country.<br />By the way, my name is Mike Rice and I believe in taking responsibility for my rants.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14622669111652818859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356810570417598585.post-28562718262753796552015-07-30T14:21:14.481-07:002015-07-30T14:21:14.481-07:00Be careful.

Of course the slide started long ago as a result of the things you mentioned, but also the nations moral compass was lost along the way. To my mind that figures into all the things you mentioned. But for a country to elect someone with no credentials based on the color of his skin was insane. Now that same mentality would have us believe we should elect Hillary because she's a woman. Obama has stated clearly that he intends to dramatically change America. He is keeping his promise. He is accelerating the "plunge" at breath-taking speed.Ralph Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305894333304660639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356810570417598585.post-24717587071568255042015-07-29T17:42:14.953-07:002015-07-29T17:42:14.953-07:00I believe I see a lot more than you, Ralph.

It’s really hard to believe that we are now witnessing the free fall of America. I am starting to think we may not be able to turn this “ship” around. This next election is very, very important, and I’m rather pessimistic. I’m not sure there are enough Americans who are aware of the situation to vote the right person into the presidency. The press, other than Fox News and an occasional newscaster on other networks, is in the bag for liberal and ultraliberal politicians and causes. I will be forwarding this blog you posted to some friends who will undoubtedly send it on to other friends.

I sure do have a bias. You obviously have a bias too. Most thinking people have a bias. Your statement that my opinions are "specious" is itself specious. You evidently don't see nor understand where your "leader" is taking this once great country. The writer I quoted only used the 8 year plunge to tie it to his previous statement regarding the 8 minute plunge. It was simply a literary device. I doubt that elevating my "simplistic" diatribes would help much.

My son and I were talking about that. He doesn't like to get into political discussions as a general rule, but he was at a function and a group of women were talking about Hillary. He strolled over and listened a little and finally asked why they would vote for her I believe there were four women present. Anyway every one of them said, because we need a woman president. He then asked what qualifies her to be president. What are her credentials. None of them could answer that, but their response was again, because we need a woman president. We are in serious trouble, but too many people are too engrossed in their cell phones, etc. to look around, shut their mouths and open their eyes and ears to what is going on around them. Scares the hell out of me.<br />Thanks for a great Blog.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356810570417598585.post-23115589790430692472015-07-27T15:36:05.007-07:002015-07-27T15:36:05.007-07:00You're missing the point about being simplisti...You're missing the point about being simplistic.
