Article: How North Vietnam Won The War

I liked that mistaken comment...Perfect target..definitely!! Well I guess I can start at 600 yds. Maybe a bit farther. Boyd and them guys can start at 1500. Petey too. I might have to give up some of my guns...but just the ones they know about. I am seriously concrned. Listen to some of the things Osama Obama wants to do. You would be concerned too. A President can sign treaties that bind us to the letter of the agreement. One could be the UN small Arms thing. I don't trust a Marxist...and that is what the Dems are turning into. Seriously. A perfectly classless and without class society is coming. Sooner than you think, I'm afraid

Obama promises change - but he never says to what or how much.

He's a socialist, in both mind and heart. (So is Hillary and many other Democrats.)

He wants to make this a socialist country, and if we elect him, he'll sure try. Frighteningly, many in Congress would help him do so.

Yeah, all I hear on the radio is "This is Obama, and I approve of this message". Blah blah, I actually quit listening to some radio stations b/c of both his and Hillariouses radio ads. Makes me sick. We need change, blah blah. Just another ploy, tell them what they wanna hear.

Hate to say it, but if it happens a modern age civil war may be the only thing to put the country back on track.

did I just say that out loud? ha ha

It'd be a cold day the government took my right to bear arms. Doing so is the exact reason we have the second ammendment. To protect myself from the gov't that I didn't elect being a tyrant.

This is Petey and I approve of this message

I'm not too worried about us losing our guns to these morons, especially if the Supreme Court holds the way I think it will hold in its current 2nd Amendment case. Me, I'm worried about the national falling into complete chaos.

Yes, we definitely need change. We need people to become more responsible for what they do. If they want to be the grasshopper their entire life, then it is on them when they hit retirement age. Honestly, I have clients that are 65 and they still have mortgages. I have a husband and wife that are 55 and 54 respectively, and they have a $250,000 mortgage with 28 years remaining on it and they make $40,000 combined a year. They also have nothing saved for retirement at age 55. They have two kids, one of which I know is in even worse shape than they are. Who is going to bail these people out when they cannot work anymore and they cannot afford to pay their mortgage?

I can go on for a long time about the change that is needed in this country, and most of it doesn't have one bit to do with politics.

I also think that taxes need to be raised. I know, I don't like it either. However, what kind of example is our own government setting when it is $9 trillion in debt. God, I don't even know how many zeros that is. Let's see $9,000,000,000,000.00 I think that should cover it. It is no wonder that I have a 40 year old couple that refinanced their house and paid off $95,000 in credit card debt, and their house is worth about $400,000. I have clients that are strapped for cash that tell me they NEED $6,000 and $8,000 to LIVE, yet they drive a Lexus RX330 and BMW X5 respectively. If they ask me for my honest opinion, I would tell both of them to sell the cars and buy something much more economical. One of them has a single child that is 2 years old and the other doesn't have any kids.

Like I said, I could go on forever.

We need to pass a STUPIDITY LAW. I think government should get less involved in everything and let people fend for themselves. There are too many safety nets out there that cost the rest of the responsible citizens too much, and eventually those responsible citizens will get fed up with it and become irresponsible too. As we have less and less responsible citizens to shoulder the burden for the morons, this nation will be in some serious trouble.

There's a credit card commercial with a song in it. The lyrics go, "I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now!"

That and just about ONLY that is the problem we have, not just with the economy but with the nation as well. Greed and immediate satisfaction are the one-two punch that have brought this magnificent national experiment to its knees. And it only took about 40 years to do it.

Post WWII politics brought people the realization that they could vote themselves other people's money - and that is and always will be the death knell of a free society.

The "change" we need is to change that ability, change back to personal responsibility, change back to individual accountability and change back to a time when "freedom" didn't mean "everything ought to be free."

Well said Rocky.

Problem is that nobody wants to hear that. My wife's grandfather, on her mother's side, was unemployed at one point in his life and he was too proud to apply for unemployment benefits. My father in-law was unemployed for a while and he had no intention of going back to work, but he applied for unemployment benefits anyway. I probably would have done the same thing if I were in his shoes. Who knows.

Back in the old days, what happened to the settlers when they ran out of food in the middle of the winter? Did they just apply for more food benefits from Uncle Sam? No, they either made it on their own or they didn't.

Wonder if I can apply for unemployment benefits if I close up shop?

I believe the change would amount to about .37 cents. That's all we would have left after the tax reform the Dems have in mind.
