The so-called fiscal conservatives want to have a lot of guns and a little butter but not raise taxes to pay for anything.Ernestonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17966756.post-84033368169830617772010-07-01T23:26:46.003-07:002010-07-01T23:26:46.003-07:00Ernesto, I always enjoy reading your blog entries....Ernesto, I always enjoy reading your blog entries.<br /><br />Many feel that our military allowed bin Laden to escape.<br /><br />It's hard for me to believe that our following of a cell phone signal, and conversation--that we were listening to, that referenced him--was the reason he was allowed to escape.<br /><br />At that time, we were told that the Afghan government also allowed <i>Mullah Omar</i> to escape.<br /><br />Will we ever know the entire truth around these two men?<br /><br />Teabaggers say that they're opposed to run-away government spending, but I hear no outcry from them about the government's deficit spending to cover our two wars.<br /><br />I guess some deficit spending is more acceptable than other deficit spending.<br /><br />Spending for our ill-conceived wars is okay, even helping pay for the clean up of the Gulf is okay, but one red cent to extend unemployment insurance for hundreds of thousands is not okay.<br /><br />This nation has its priorities upside down.<br /><br />"Two years ago it was 'we can't cut and run'. I think we can all agree on cutting our losses now and going home before our economy implodes for the last time."<br /><br />I often wonder how a McCain presidency would be faring about now. What would he and Sarah have done differently, if anything?<br /><br />It doesn't take reading <i>tea leaves</i> (supplied by Teabaggers, or not), or a handwriting on the wall (with crayons provided by Sarah Palin from her coloring book) to know that this country is on a trajectory that will make the <i>American Dream,</i> as it is commonly perceived, a living nightmare.Black Diasporahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08890792781361839105noreply@blogger.com
