Congress has authorized Data-Mining, the wholesale gathering of information via all electronic media.  More important, that information is private communications of private citizens; you would have heard this on media reports.

The media talks about private communications, privacy issues, specific violation of human rights as defined within American culture.  Did you ever think that data-mining is a broad net which gathers corporate communications?

The Congress has given Bush and his Corporate bosses a free hand in the gathering of information about competitors.  Insider trading, or a range of  market manipulations, is now possible.

The Democratic Party has officially, and for the legal record, declared itself sold out to corporate special interests.  Worse, the Democrats have authorized, by law, that which had been a felony until now.

We are, as a nation, moving toward self destruction.  More important, it is becoming clear that Hillary Clinton will be the final author of our decline and destruction.

That’s right!  Hillary Clinton, not Bush, not Cheney, will prove to be the architect of American defeat.  The Unitary Executive, absolute power under the President, shall pass to a woman who will be political when the nation requires leadership.

Will Barack Obama win the Presidency?  Could Barack Obama win the Presidency?  Not while the black community exalts the anti-black  racism inherent in the concept that Obama is “not black enough”.

Curiously, the unknown, off the radar, Dr Ron Paul might well emerge as a viable possibility. 

OK, we are talking a Texas Congressman and flight surgeon.  Clearly NOT a sterling recommendation, given our President is from Texas.

OK, so he is a doctor.  Maybe that will shape improvement in medical care; but he is also a Constitutionalist and Libertarian; that bodes poorly for rational universal health coverage.  Still, he did oppose Iraq, and the various domestic spy programs.  SIGH ... no chance.

So where else can things be headed?

Very simply put, at this point in the 2008 process, the Democrats are doing all the can to appear to be Republicans, and the Republicans are doing all they can to maintain a low profile.

There are no viable leaders, though several viable candidates.  Make it clear, the budget of the United States has been busted; the privacy of citizens has be compromised beyond that of any fascist dictatorship, and our sovereignty is being sold to China, or the Saudis.

All-in-all, ours is a rather depressing state of affairs.  Of course, since 2000 we have been in a depressing state of affairs; and those who play the stock market have been in one since the fall of 1999.  Now the markets are being primed for another dive.

Bin Laden is free, and there is no force which would go against him in his own refuge.  Pakistan will protect him, while obtaining offensive weaponry from the Bush Administration.  Said weapons to be directed against American forces within the coming decade.

Reports now show that a third of the weapons sent to Iraq have been lost; or, more accurately, turned over to insurgents to utilize against any and all non-Islamist forces and their Islamist supporters.

The mandate of Islam, which I warned we would be facing long before this nonsense began, is to evict any who occupy and Islamic nation. 

It is helpful to have us torturing those in our custody, raping their children, and murdering their citizens; we need all the enemies we can make; especially if, having nothing to live for, they practice suicide bombing.

America can enjoy the rhetoric pronouncing the forces of victory are on our side.  We can also be certain, given that our side also has the Evangelicals, that “God” will be on any side but ours.
