THE DANGER ZONE
By Chuck MacNab
Kids (some as old as 40) are living at home, using mom and dad's credit cards, being supported in many ways by them and others. Many offspring are being provided with most of their daily needs by parents and are allowing "educational institutions," (most are left wing oriented) their belief in government statistics and outright lies to fleece them and their parents (tuition fees and expenses have risen faster than most anything else in society, including health care).
Now, college debt exceeds credit card debt and yet people seem oblivious to such fiscally irresponsible trends. Maybe they believe that government will shove their tuition and other college debts off onto the taxpayer. Students certainly believe Obama will borrow enough money from China or steal enough from Medicare and Veteran's benefits to pay off their debts. Now there are a few young people's votes for the Democrats!
If information doesn't come at people in an "entertaining" 30-second sound byte, many could care less...even then, perhaps because of life's daily distractions, many trivial in comparison to what they will face if the nation continues on the "Obama track," they seem to be oblivious. Partly as a result of their lack of conviction many, old and young, vote for poor or incapable leadership. Reasons vary for why people vote for a politician but sympathy for race or poor background and outright fabrications by slick, special interest advertising are some of the reasons.
Voting this way and for these reasons has produced bankruptcy of cities, stress on pensions and health care, really lousy government policies and a host of other items mentioned in this column, were once considered obvious "abnormalities." No longer! Long before the 2008 election we predicted that massive corruption in government would emerge if Obama were elected. Guess what? Now corruption has become all encompassing. Sadly, our predictions have come true and it will eventually reach everyone in a very negative way.
Nobody needs to be a genius to figure out what has happened in the past to many nations whose citizens have ignored the danger signs we now see all around us. All that's necessary to become convinced is to watch the news and do a little reading of history. Your neighborhood and your close associates may not understand how a nation collapses but given time, very bad decision making at the top will come to your neighborhood in spades. Your sons or daughters may not have been murdered, maimed, or coached into joining ISIS by out of control Jihad nutcases, but given time and enough government "politically correct" protection the Jihadists will grow into a dangerous and dominant force right here at home.
Take a look at Europe and see what is in store for the U.S. if a significant course correction is not made very soon. The last few weeks have seen an escalation of Jihad motivated violence in the U.S. and Canada that is unprecedented. How much will it cost to get this somewhat under control and will we need to choose between defending our interests abroad and safety at home? You can bet that Jihadists are trying to force that choice on us and apparently nobody in the White House is willing to take effective steps to halt their progress.
Huge numbers of legal and illegal immigrants, and very warped government policies under the Obama Administration have either covered up or disguised in some way policies that are doing great harm to our nation. We must change this or accept some very ugly consequences. Many are still in disbelief of what has happened in Benghazi, the IRS cover up, Fast and Furious, the Fort Hood shooter, exposing soldiers to an African Ebola outbreak and perhaps having them bring it home, and on and on! These are indications of a society in crisis and perhaps on the verge of a massive and very unpleasant breakdown. We urge people to keep one thing in mind.
Democrats in key states are distancing themselves from Obama but we are fools not to believe that they have empowered him and backed him in every radical, security blunder and economy busting policy he is promoting. We urge folks to keep that fact firmly in mind when voting on November 4.
