Thread: CountryBoys's Account Talk

Well well well...

First time I've visited your thread, CountryBoy, and I'm impressed.

Thank God there are still some true American's still alive and thinking.

The last time I visited a nearby mall, I saw that the vast majority of people there were cretins, tatooed up, caps on backwards, pants on the ground, pushing little strollers around with their offspring, who's hair was spiked up and died purple... and I thought... (sadly), here is the future of America. And it ain't looking good, is it?

If the smartest men on the planet have gotten us to this point, where is the future going to take us in the next 5 - 10 years?

This ain't gonna be pretty, that's for sure. I don't know about you, but I'm tightening my seatbelt a little tighter every day.

Good luck to you, and hope you do well with your TSP. I think we're gonna need every penny of it.

I had to delete some posts that were ready to make this thread explode. It was brought to my attention thru a reported post.

We have a handful of members who only want to talk politics and they don't need to be egged on. I'll open the thread back up after the dust settles. Feel free to talk about the market or TSP, but if our political friends can't get along we'll have to make some changes.

It's an "Account Talk" thread. If all someone has to add to this TSP Talk forum is politics, then no, it isn't legal since it incites flame wars, which I had to put out already.

Doesn't it scare you that during the past three decades, each President has absconded more constitutional power than the last, with Obama already surpassing George Bush's "record czar level" in less than half the time in office?

Or that Obama, the "mad facsist," is not only seeking to manage every aspect of our lives, but recently asked Congress for dictatorial powers to reorganize government at his will, with no input from the public via their constitutionally-elected representatives? WTF is up with this folks, are you asleep or just wanting to pad your own pension? Well with QE to infinity, that money is getting more and more worthless.

Given that Congress long ago abdicated important matters such as national security, i.e. declarations of WAR, to draft-dodging ne'er do well's such as George W. Bush and two-bit attorneys like Barrack Obama, it seems a fait accompli that the nation's "security" is set to take a quantum leap backward, just as REAL THREATS such as an all-out Middle Eastern conflict - with accompanying trade wars - looms on the horizon.

The coup de grace was last month's passage of the fourth-amendment stealing National Defense Authorization Act - incredibly, by a 93-7 margin in the Senate - ensuring further danger to all Americans from a continually shrinking group of "elites" at the top, led by the President and his puppet masters from the nation's largest lobbying groups, particularly the banks and military contractors. ( Just another example of the gutting of our Constitution) It is hard to believe the Patriot Act is now the second most dangerous piece of legislation drafted in U.S. history, but it now is - and dramatically so.

As Ron Paul said that affecting us all, will require the need of replacing sociopathic politicians with men and women of character, intelligence, and noble goals - if such people still exist - and preparing ourselves for the more likely scenario of increased government mismanagement, conflict of interest, and oppression.My bet is that there aren’t enough Americans with the fortitude and character. We’ve already be bribed with our own money. We’ve run out of good men.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." ~ Edmund Burke And we have evil running our government.

Good Luck all,

CB

Not sure why mine was the only post deleted when it was the only one that wasn't getting into the politics.
All I said was that I was laughing too hard at that craziness of the 1st comment above to even have a response.
I don't think that was some inflammatory political comment that deserved deletion.
The one comment that did need removal, CB's political rant, somehow managed to remain.

And to be fair to CB, probably should have left his thread open, sans his big political rant.
He claims he was banned from the Beltway site..thats too bad. Maybe I can talk to Jim about getting him reinstated.
Its a free country and CB should be able to express himself freely, without censor as long as he doesn't get derogatory.
Funny, after reading some of his post towards the end, there were some interesting points.


Mods...thats all I have to say on this thread..no need to panic over a political flame war.
More concerned right now about Greece's flameout than CB's flameout.
How about we all accept our differences and just get along?
