I fear it was sabotage then bungling then use of a crisis(and always) and no regard for the American welfare as a nation. Not to mention, neutering our military and intel! Russia has new stealth. We keep educating our enemies so they can go home and use it against us! I smell outright Treason! Gammy Sparkles

Sometimes I wonder if Mr. Friedman has taken leave of his mind and/or brain! OOPS I said it again! Good Article! Gammy Sparkles here!

Great article. Great vocabulary. Great Take! I always get a real sense of balance from Charles K.
You nailed the ending and new future beginning perfectly. It is just like a virus, that has split, and gone off in different directions.
Thanks Charles! But, the sheep who catch this virus, won't even know what hit them!

Good article! We all want a safe planet, but I agree with you on this article. We are all sick of being lied to to see political gains - It is really sad!

Good job recapping the travesty of the Democratic Party! Since I was sick in bed for Turkey Day and the whole weekend - and more - I took a break from politics and granny-ranting - and I read the rest of the Twilight books! Wow - I decided that the Democrats are like the Volturi in the book!
They have lost their national and patriotic compass for power, greed, political gain, and many more misguided and ill-conceived values! Wow!And they are sucking the blood out of the entire nation! VOTE THEM OUT! They are true bloodsuckers!

Great insight in this article. It seems, we the people are constantly having to wait for another shoe to drop. Not the other show, Another shoe. The shoes are adding up!

Well, not sure, but Facebook owner ran the web for campaign for Democrats. Lots of names there. Google owners, who bought youtube, also supported the Dem. Campaign, Huffington, Daily Kos.
Got the picture?!

This is a good assessment of the situation! Bush got blamed for the Katrina mess, when the state and locals were the biggest offenders. Kind of why do still let Rangel work in Congress with his conflicts and corruptions? Amazing! The conservatives from all sides will have to work day and night to turn around this train wreck called policy of this administration and the Democrats in Congress who may truly have been sitting on their heads!

You just cannot put Lipstick on that Pig! I mean the policy! I mean the lack of common sense of the Democrats to want to neuter this nation, and our national security!

If Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac and Katrina are any hint of what the government can do, is it any wonder why we want less government and more common sense!? But, you cannot put LIPSTICK ON THIS PIG! It is out of control, overstepping its legal boundaries, and overspending, and exercising "Stinkin thinkin" when it comes to our national security! CZARS CZARS CZARS evereywhere, but just to whom are they accountable? To the Crony friends of the Dems!
Sad!
