Not sure if anyone is paying attention to England – however, they just went into a TRIPLE dip recession. It’s a first, never happened before – including two world wars.

We’re going to collapse in America, along with the rest of the western hemisphere.

Lastly, there is no reason to send a trillion plus dollars a year to the middle east for oil, we have our own oil.

He completely ignores the fact that the reports says a drop in federal spending is the culprit — i.e., he has it 100%, exactly backwards. Why this clown has a job on a financial network, I’ll never know. He’s clueless as they come — when he isn’t just out and out lying.

Soldiers wearing U.N. logos evict whole towns in land grab

[Thousands of poor Brazilian families are living in wretched conditions
at make-shift refugee camps after being evicted from their homes at
gunpoint by federal forces, some of whom were sporting United Nations
logos, according to sources.

The massive operation, which left an estimated 7,500 or more people,
including thousands of children, homeless was justified by authorities
under the guise of creating an Indian reservation.

Towns literally have been wiped off the map, and no compensation was
offered to the victims. About 400,000 acres of land were expropriated in
the latest operation.

Residents in the Siua-Missu area in the state of Mato Grosso battled
heavily armed federal police and military forces for weeks using sticks,
rocks, Molotov cocktails and other crude weapons.

In the end, however, the powerful national
government forces were overwhelming.]

armies w/out borders

[Advocates of limited government are concerned about comments by
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) regarding his national service plans and
views on the "burden of global citizenship."]

Probably not. Being so out of touch, I imagine you don’t even realize when you are wrong. Odds are, you even succeed in convincing yourself that you are the one that is always right, regardless of how off-target you normally are. Anyway, you seem happy enough.

Worthless phucks like you blamed Bush when the world sneezed … even though it wasn’t his fault.

So, guess what? Your boy gets the blame now. Deal with it.
