Let me paint you a picture---Of the beginning of nuclear war.

Kuwait holds $1.3 trillion of debt of our government. The Saudis have between $200 and $300 billion. Other Muslim nations have much more as do private Muslim citizens with great wealth. Each day a portion of this debt becomes due and is renewed and we borrow more from these folks at the same time to keep our government running --Especially the military.

Let’s say these creditors with obviously questionable respect for our country formed a coup and called all of our debt due and refused to lend any more to us. We would then not even be able to pay our more friendly debt holders their payments and surely wouldn’t be able to borrow from almost anyone.

So, we have lets say a year to operate with existing resources---maybe 6 months as our oil would dry up. What are our choices to survive at that point? Especially if we are already in a severe economic depression five or ten years.

Well, I guess we could grovel to the world that has money, our oil rich Muslim “friends”, for help even though they formed a coup to economically kill us and see if they have had a change of heart, which I doubt. Maybe Iran’s new oil rich best friend, Venezuela, would help----not. What do we do.

I guess we could just sit and suffer but I have a feeling that some would think these acts might be acts of war given the harm inflicted upon the American people from them. And, if there was any intent to use this method to intervene in our sovereignty, it would in fact be just that, wouldn’t it?

Now, lets say again that our military has 6 months to a year to act to secure oil and other assets to concrete our political survival and we have the nukes to do so. Which one do you want our leaders to choose for your children?

I am not advocating anything my friends -----just thinking out loud.

I’m scaring myself (besides looking in the mirror in the morning). Every day my predictions become more true. Home prices in Southern California were reported to have dropped by 24 percent in the last year alone and America’s largest brokerage, Merrill Lynch has posted another huge quarterly loss of 2 Billion causing the layoffs of another 3000 people. The government is reeling from budget shortfalls sending them seeking to borrow funds at every level from federal to local government. Certainly our credit standing is once again taking a blow. We better pray that McCain gets the job instead of selfish, crooked, Hillary or the wet behind the ears, anti-American, Obama or our nation will surely suffer more harshly in the upcoming re-adjustment of our socio-economic standing.

Almost every analyst sees things worsening. I personally believe we are 10 to 15 percent into our economic downturn and too far from recovery to even measure--Maybe 20 years as a guess. So, we are going to need a leader that understands making good decisions in very difficult, if not insane, circumstances. We are going to need someone that can take the criticism of the masses and be frank with us and give us hope in the darkest of time. We will need someone that can stand upright and welcome insecure Americans to his side and not waiver. That certainly doesn’t sound like either Hillary or Obama does it? It almost describes a man like McCain.

As we weaken economically, we will become more vulnerable to being taken advantage of by our Radical Muslim enemies and or “Muslim Friends” like the Saudis. We may need military leadership and strategy more than ever along with courage to act under fire. McCain again.

I do not agree with McCain’s past amnesty and open border attitude but looking at the times and our choices, we have no choice. In fact, McCain may have fatefully fallen into our hands at just the time we truly need a man like him.

When you vote, think realistically about our future. Don’t fall for Hillary’s daily flip flops and lies and recognize that Obama simply is not qualified and his respect for America’s values and way of life are questionable at best.

Oh, and be prepared to bite the bullet big time and weather the upcoming economic tsunami.
