Don't sit there and tell me you don't realize that what's coming is coming. The shock of September 2008 should've been enough to shake every American to the core, to send a signal to every thinking person who's still afloat, but it wasn't enough, obviously. We haven't taken the necessary steps to avoid a more catastrophic financial disaster; and, having elected Social Democrat overlords, we've allowed them to accelerate this coming fall.

Rep. Bachmann:

Do We Want ‘To Watch Ourselves Collapse From Our Own Welfare State?’

(CNSNews.com) - Representative Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) told CNSNews.com that 'expensive entitlement programs' [are] bringing our country down,' and Americans will have to choose between surviving as a country or collapsing 'from our own welfare state.'

“These very expensive wage-and-benefit packages that we're paying to federal employees, but also very expensive entitlement programs are frankly bringing our country down and we have to make a decision: ‘Do we want to survive as a country or are we going to watch ourselves collapse from our own welfare state?’ It's really up to us to make the decision.”

Rep. Bachmann, elected to Congress in the 2006 mid-term election, blamed Democrats for making entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare “unworkable” today.

“They (Democrats) like to act as though they want to save them (entitlement programs) and we [Republicans] want to end them when, in fact, it's been just the opposite,” said Bachmann. “The Democrats unfortunately have been in a situation where they have made those programs unworkable, which means vulnerable people who are dependent on those programs may not have them to take care of the needs that they need.”

Part and parcel of the redistributive goals of BHO &cronies: to make these entitlement programs so accessible that their true purpose is lost. No more 'safety net', no more temporary fix. Dems desire to make entitlements so permanent that lazy, spoiled Americans who make up the Democrat base will become even more spoiled, even more dependent on [Social Democrat] government, even more likely to vote themselves a heaping helping of Other People's Money. The Looter - Moocher relationship culminates in wins for Social Democrats at the ballot box.

Another sign possibly pointing to apocalypse: Barack Hussein Obama flummoxes his base: DRILL BABY, DRILL~! That'll leave a mark. Al Gore's jaw won't be reattached; it hit the pavement so hard the only thing left visible is the tip of one tusk.

Oh, and French President Sarcozy is setting Mr. Obama up for a fall.




France will win again.
