Which resolve are we talking about, though? The resolve to follow Bush and the Republican party straight to hell, or the resolve to follow Obama and the Democrats straight to hell? You know I appreciate your optimism, but it's hard to deny that great problems exist in today's America. The dollar's globally dead. The borders are being erased. They've elected yet another gun-grabbing anti-constitutionalist. While people talk about Obama embodying the conclusion of Martin Luther King's dream, black Americans still constitute 44% of America's 2 million prison population, something that Obama will never mention. He won't even address the crack-powder disparity, the absolute minimum gesture that any "black" President could make. It's all well and easy to talk about how things are looking up, but they aren't looking up for the 1 in 7 black American children who grow up with a parent in jail. They aren't looking up for all those Americans facing foreclosure within the next decade. They aren't looking up for hopeful independent politicians who get pushed out by electronic vote rigging. Not to mention the wars.
Obama's current "resolve" is to see America within Iraq for at least another 18 months, with absolutely no prospect of a total withdrawal. Dr Paul says we won't even see a partial withdrawal. The out-going commander of the British forces just said that the fight in Afghanistan is unwinnable, and yet that's exactly where Obama wants to direct the remaining dregs of the American military, to keep killing innocent Afghanis, Pakistanis and Syrians. That's completely neglecting to mention his repeated threats against Iran and Russia.
Meanwhile you've got an increasing number of Army units active on American soil in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, you've got previously unimagined foreign debt at a time when the President-elect wants to increase federal spending by at least 200 billion, you've got the Bill of Rights STILL in tatters with absolutely no prospect of Obama fixing it, you've got unprecedented ill health with cancer raging out of control, and now everybody seems to be threatening a terrorist attack in January, which you can guarantee will be just as fake as the last one.
There's turmoil man, and the "resolve", as far as I can see, has been neatly redirected into support for the latest New World Order shill who's going to fix everything for them. The greatest dissenting voice is the idiots who think Obama is a communist and that what they really need is a third Bush Presidency. People like me and you, on the global scale, sadly don't amount to much when measured against the sheer weight of ignorance and the sheer might of intelligence threatened by the American public and the CIA respectively.
