For the Clueless, Couldn't Be Bothered, Inattentive, Mis-Guided, Just Plain Stupid and Of Course, The Apologetics

We're entering some catastrophic times, I'm afraid. I'm not a fan of any of the major news media. I do occasionally watch some of the commentators but I can pretty much paint a mental picture of where this country is, at the present time, and where it is headed. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Add to that a President who is clueless (or is he, really?) and a Congress where infighting and pomp and circumstance are more important than tackling the job of curing this country of its economic woes. We've run out of time. We need to start slashing our trillions of dollars in debt, aka stopping spending, creating jobs, addressing our continued loss of manufacturing jobs overseas, our massive trade deficit and so forth and so on. Need I say more? All I've been reading and hearing about the good ole U.S. of A. (and you can pick up quite a bit of info sandwiched in between the lines) is not good. On another note, there is much we do not know about what sparked the unrest which is now turning into chaos, in Egypt. Yes, we hear the Egyptians are fed up with low wages, a lack of the basic necessities, no jobs, high inflation and they want Mubarak out. But it puzzles me why these demonstrations happened so fast. Has anyone else picked up on this? And Obama defiantly stating to Mubarak that he must step down and NOW MEANS NOW. Wonder what that is all about? I'm wondering..could there be something else going on that we are not aware of? One minute everything appears to be fine in Egypt and the next minute they are on the evening news. Has this unrest been simmering for a long time or did someone, some group, orchestrate this event? We now have a very big problem on our hands, not only for this country but for Israel because if Mubarak goes and Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood gain a foothold, well figure it out for yourself. Riots in Tunisia, Jordan, and Lebanon is now being controlled by Hizballah. Nothing to worry about, right? There is alot going on behind the scenes that we're not privvy to as it's all that state department, political, secret stuff. You know, toppling governments, un-doing leaders, and replacing them. The U.S. doesn't get off the hook on this one, either, as it has had its fair share. I've often wondered, why do we even have a State Department? Things have been smelling for awhile but the stench is growing stronger. I don't like what I am seeing nor feeling--the bad guys and the elitists growing more powerful, leaving the little guy who doesn't have a clue feeling helpless and and ill-prepared for what is comin down the pike. He knows somethin is a-comin, he jus can't see it. We hear about stocking up on food, (some are saying for at least a year), buying generators, flashlights, emergency radios, solar panels, cookless stoves, etc. And don't forget that "go bag" just in case. Hyperinflation, which is just around the corner. And it will be if the Fed continues to keep printing incredible amounts of money out of thin air. All the while the country keeps churnin along. But I believe this to be a mask over our eyes. There is a sayin, he who has ears, hear and he who has eyes, see. Well if you feel as I do, it's your sixth sense kickin in. So don't let the puny pundits and the pretty blondes who grace your t.v. screen and the money guru know-it-alls continue to pull your leg and other parts of your anatomy. You know, the Stock Market is down just a little bit, but don't worry it will soon be back up. Our economy is really improving, the jobless rate went down and there is more consumer confidence. Well, maybe a little. But I still have that nagging feeling and it won't let go. So somethin's comin and prepare, as best you can, okay? At least you won't be in the company of dumb and dumber. We'll leave that title for the President and Congress.
