I was going through some past posts over on my fandom journal and found this post I'd written on 11/4/2008. I thought I'd repost it here.

The Downfall of a Country

A political thriller


When freshman Senator Maracb Kaboa quickly raises to the top of the political heap snagging the nomination for President of the United States from the grasp of the favored politician few people question his political success. With his minimal history in both state and national politics his political intent is hard to examine and his goals unknown.

One by one Senator Kaboa's associations are revealed including domestic terrorists with the goal of causing the destruction of the country from the inside out, racist ministers and a Communist mentor. The country reacts with scarcely a nod. Slowly his intent of carrying on the work of a long time associate becomes clear; to destroy the infrastructure of the country and bring down one of the greatest nations.

Just days before the election, news that he plans to bankrupt the foundation of a major utility and cause skyrocketing costs, tax businesses out of existence, and redistribute the nation's income it becomes increasingly clear the country is in grave danger. With the mainstream media playing deaf, dumb, and blind to each jaw dropping revelation the majority of the electorate are mindlessly brainwashed into complacency and the indoctrination of his beliefs.

Fighting to stop the runaway train those that were able to overcome his continually broadcast subliminal messages of hope and change work to stop the complete downfall of the country before it's to late.

Today's quote comes from @pir8gold: Warning to Nigerians- if you get any emails from Washington asking for money, it's a scam.

United Airlines Descriminates Against Overweight Passengers

United To Charge Heavier Passengers Twice To Fly

Those unable to comfortably fasten a safety belt with one extension or
sit comfortably with armrests down will be denied boarding unless they
purchase an extra seat, even if they can be placed elsewhere in the
aircraft next to an empty seat.

The last acceptable discrimination.

Really, what would happen if airlines started charging people in
wheelchairs, blind or other handicapped people? Why is it acceptable to
over charge fat people?

My first thought was I'll just boycott United, but sadly that's not the only airline that discriminates against overweight fliers.

Airline making heavyset flyers buy extra seat
Southwest is not the only major airline with a large-seating policy. US
Airways, Northwest Airlines and America West Airlines all can require
an overweight passenger to pay for two seats but said they do
everything they can to find a pair of empty adjoining seats on the
plane at no additional charge. Midwest Connect, which serves Pittsburgh
from Milwaukee, requires that passengers unable to fit in one seat buy
two; if there are other seats available on the same flight, they will
be refunded for the second.

And just in case people get it into their heads that it's just the airline company that wants to discriminate remember that normal weighted people hate the overweight too...so in todays society of majority rule

Fat flyers may face higher fare
Around 40 per cent of the 45,000 people who have voted to date want Ryanair to
slap a charge on overweight customers based on their body mass index.


I wasn't able to find the article, but just recently an overweight person was charged for the two seats that the airline said was necessary...the two seats weren't next to each other.

Lou Dobbs Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Foreign Laws Influencing U.S. Laws

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Argues Foreign Laws Should Have Influence On American Laws

Sadly Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg isn't the only one that feels that way. It seems to be a running theme for the left leaning justices. Obama nominee Harold Koh is also for the use of international laws to influence our laws.

The thing that strikes me is the number of places that our rights differ from most countries. More and more countries are following sharia law, will we allow stoning of women found guilty of adultery? How about allowing for female mutilation? Who's to say it's wrong, when another country feels it's right? Some countries are tighting their freedom of speech . Does it become a matter of public opinion? If the majority of the people agree than it's ok. If it's a country we like, is that law ok? How do you pick and choose what country's laws to follow, and which do you not? Is England ok...and which laws do you use?

This whole line of thought is just another way to give away a piece of our uniqueness. It's another way to kowtoe to other countries that instead of rising up to meet us, try to destroy the greatness of the U.S. and pull us down to their level.

This is just one more thing that borders on the edge of treason, and I think anyone that is would push aside our constitution in favor of another countries, and would use laws of another country against their own people,  should be tried for crimes against our country.

This is just wrong. At what point will the American people wake up and fight against the annihilation   of their own country?

I saw this in a comment on Townhall.com

Fascism: You have two cows. The state takes them both to sell you milk.

Nazism: You have two cows. The state takes them booth and shoots you.

Bureaucracy: You have two cows. State takes them both, kills one pours the milk of the other down the drain.

Democrat/Socialist: (same thing these days....)You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You are guilty of being successful. The governmennt takes one and gives it to someone else.

Republican: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none until he earns his own.

Communist: You have two cows. The government seizes both of them and provides you with milk. You wait in line for hours the milk is expensive and sour.

Capitalism American Style: You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull and build a herd of cows.

What kind of country do you want?

From another comment in the same thread:

We the People should try another American experiment.
Consolidate all our States then divide America equally into two States, the State of Socialism and State of Capitalism.

What kind of "state" would you choose?
