America is under assault and will be attacked more strongly than witnessed on 9/11 very soon. Within the next few years..
Another dream, Craig? Or are you privy to something the rest of us aren't?
CraigMaxim wrote:.Some of the reasons:
1) The current administration's pursuit of investigations for the purpose of prosecution, is demoralizing the CIA. There are reports that MANY experienced agents are looking for other work. Who can blame them? The activities they are engaged in, spying, interrogation of high level detainees, and so forth, are all clandestine activities. They now fear that following an administration's policies could result in prosecution of them, and clearly, primarily for political points of a new administration. This is UNPRECEDENTED! I have said before, that I don't think Obama is necessarily a bad person, just a naive one. After PROMISING CIA agents that his administration would not go after agents, who were pursuing activities, PREVIOUSLY SANCTIONED by the Justic Department, and at the behest of a previous administration, it has only taken a little pressure from the far left, for Obama to REVERSE COURSE and BREAK THIS PROMISE.
The CIA is demoralized! What does this mean? It means instead of AGRESSIVELY pursuing leads on terrorist plots, and using the means necessary to uncover information about them, they will NOW BACK OFF much more, for fear of politically based LEGAL REPRISALS. These men and women are SERVING THEIR COUNTRY and they DID NOT sign up for going to prison, for helping keep this country safe! They will now, be much less of a force for uncovering plots to attack our citizens. You can be sure, this means MANY will now slip through the cracks, which will DIRECTLY AFFECT YOUR FAMILY'S SAFETY in the very near future. I hope you, or your family doesn't live in a major city..
Now, see, you're drawing conclusions without base, here. You're assuming that the present & future employees of the CIA will not be doing their jobs for fear of prosecution...the thing is...they will only be prosecuted for crimes against humanity & our own country. Are you then claiming that the job of a CIA operative is to commit atrocities? Perhaps THAT's the problem, eh?
CraigMaxim wrote:.2) WIRETAPPING: This has ALWAYS been a Liberal issue. That wiretapping and software designed to pick up certain keywords, are an attack on our freedoms. These programs have been VERY SUCCESSFUL in uncovering maybe a dozen or more such plots by terrorists to make attacks on this country, and has resulted in their arrests, and in STOPPING the planned attacks. They will overturn some of these programs, and AGAIN... it will result in some, now slipping through the cracks, and being executed fully. Americans will be LESS SAFE, and not more safe!.
Wiretapping is against the Constitution of the USA. Always has been. Always should be, imho. 'Nuff sed.
Do you actually believe that these ppl plotting our downfall are so stupid that they talk about their bombs & their biological warfare tactics on the nearest pay phone? (Do those even exist anymore?) Wiretapping is wrong. It allows our fair gov't to access info about its ppl that it should not have, & would not need if it weren't in the wrong biz.
CraigMaxim wrote:.3) ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: Democrats have been very vocal proponents, in recent times, of reducing our borders to being meaningless. Illegals have some kind of "RIGHT" to cross our borders and work in this country, and be entitled to driver's licenses and health care and all other taxpayer funded public services, whether they register or not, and whether they work or not. Illegals tend to vote for Democrats, perhaps this is part of the reason? Wait... Illegals can't vote! Sure they can, and do. Under aliases and false social security numbers, etc... Why should the politician care, if it gets him elected? But opening the borders more widely, or weakening their defenses, not pursuing technology that can help prevent many illegal border crossings, etc... THIS WILL RESULT in more terrorists and terroristic weapons, crossing the borders UNCHECKED! Just another hole in th dam, and this will be a BIG ONE!.
Um...are you forgetting how the Bushes, both JR & Sr, gave amnesty to illegals just to save on the thousands of hours of paperwork involved, to hear them talk about it? I think Reagan did something along those lines, too. Doesn't sound like a Dem mistake to me, but a republicrat one! Yes, I agree it's a problem. So do many others. Drop it already. You've typed PAGES & PAGES on the subject already, & I'm bored.
CraigMaxim wrote:.4) Socialists and Communists in Obama's cabinet and various csars. These people are SYMPATHETIC to Communism and Socialism. Some were actually PROPONENTS and MEMBERS of the Socialist Party, and of rogue groups that were in effect TERRORISTIC, being responsible for bombings and murders. When people sympathetic to Socialism and Communism are running things on the highest levels, then rest assured, rather than being VIGILANT on the plots and plans of Communists to weaken our power and society, they will instead be COOPERATING with their agendas, and GIVING AWAY THE FARM, if not our most important technologies like the Strategic Defense Initiative. When you don't see someone or something as a THREAT, what do you think happens? How many children go missing because they did not perceive their attackers as threats? This applies on a national and global scale as well. You can no more trust the word of a hard core Communist, than you can the word of a child molestor. You have to have diplomatic relations, but VIGILANCE is required. You will not see this kind of vigilance coming from an administration with Communists in it's own ranks! America is LESS SAFE as a result..
Um...Craig? Who was the 1st pres in your lifetime to declare a war on the American ppl? Who was the 1st to have a "czar" in his cabinet? What WAS his party, anyway?
Admit it, bud - you're simply anti-anything-Dem, but I'll let that one slide, for now. So now what are you, a McCarthyist? "STAMP OUT THE RED/PINKO SCARE!"
You can't trust a hard-core NUTHIN in this world, & if you haven't learned that, you're stuck in the world of black & white, no color, & not even a shade of gray.
The hard-core capitalist is someone who'll rip you off or stab you in the back for a buck, just as the hard-core commie will to even out the playing field. This is junk.
CraigMaxim wrote:.5) Putin has turned the Russian economy around. They are knee deep in oil revenues now, with NO NATIONAL DEBT. This is why you see their military programs ramping up again, just as if we were right back in the midst of the Cold War. Now that money is no object, they are back to challenging us at sea with their submarines, and shadowing our fleet, and posing a risk once again. Their pride knows no bounds right now, and Putin is a national hero. He would be President right now AGAIN, were it not for imposed term limits there. So now, he just runs things as Prime Minister with his PUPPET as Presidential head for publlic consumption. Putin still pulls the strings, and he is a self-absorbed eveil narcissist, who despises that we seemed to have won the Cold War. This is not Gorbachev, this is Stalin. But before their recent oil wealth, they were suffering economically, and you can take it to the bank, that nuclear materials and even weapons, were sold to the highest bidder. Now, an ego-driven madman from Russia, can simply assist from the shadows, the terrorists that want to nuke one of our cities. And it will be blamed on the terrorists without any fingerprints from Russia, particularly when our Intelligence Agencies have been neutered and demoralized, and are not able to do their jobs effectively..
I only hope they do it better as they rebuild their battered country - battered by the corruption that created their downfall, just as ours is hurting us.
I don't think our intelligence communities have suffered nearly as much as you'd have us believe, Craig. "Neutered" indeed! They were very recently powerful enough to fool those who should have been properly informed before jumping into a war that's a HUGE part of destroying the fabric of our economy. That's just more junk. More horror stories from the right.
Don't you ever read anything nice?
CraigMaxim wrote:.6) SOCIALISM: The current administration is putting us and our future generations in debt that is unprecedented. They are destroying the basis of our wealth and employment, the small business. Nationalized Banks. Nationalized Car Industry. Nationalized Health Care. And MUCH MORE is on the agenda! When you take away the REWARD for hard work, you take away the DESIRE to work hard. Not all people are self motivated, but MANY ARE, and these people are the entrepeneurs that DRIVE OUR ECONOMY and create MOST of our nation's jobs and job growth. This is being short-circuited as we speak. The consequences will not be fully obvious until 2010 and beyond, which is when most of these programs go into effect..
Unprecedented debt, Craig? Have you SLEPT through the last 8 years, man?
Your tales of upcoming woe have been wrought with caps & exclamation points & fear-mongering, at best, for well over a year. If it ain't the Moslems, it's the illegals. If it ain't the illegals, it's the socialists. If it ain't the socialists, it's the swine flu. And all of it can prolly be found to have a Dem party source. You should get a spot on radio to holler out your weird tales of prophesy, Craig.
Step off the soap box, Craig. I don't believe this crud you call "logical conclusions," based on far too few facts & figures, esp when you're so apt to ignore so many other facts & figures in your semi-religious zeal to get us all worked up over
your fears.
It also does nothing but pitt ppl in here against each other, as our opinions are bound to differ greatly, since we're of such different age-groups, religious & economic backgrounds.
You come on here far too often with a whole laundry list of woes that we should all be very frightened of, & it invariably turns into name-calling & other such sh*t. Try something new - bring stuff to the table that can interest us without stirring the pot of angers we all have for awhile. We're ALL of us scared right now. Quit playing on it all.
Your sh*t ain't fun anymore. Yeah, you have a perfect American right to say whatever the hell comes into your head, but what GOOD does it bring to our forum? Think about that for a bit before you hit that send button. Give it a rest, already!
