Our Country 'On Tilt'

I admit things haven't been great here in America for some time. And I've never been a conspiracy theorist, respecting we each have differing views and need to meet somewhere in the middle. Well, I am nearing the edge of thinking that this guy in the White House and his radical cohorts do have an agenda, and it isn't one that American's signed up for.

Think about how he has alienated or long time ally Great Britain. Then think about how he is daily alienating Israel, our one and only ally in the Middle East. Think about how he ignored the voice of the American people and crammed some sort of healthcare, that Congress doesn't even understand down our throats.

We've all heard of the recent meltdown in Greece. What you may not have heard is that the bailout of Greece will be handled somewhat bu the US - that is the International Monetary Fund or IMF, is doling out over $150B to Greece and that is backed by the US to the tune of 17% ... several billion more we're on the hook for. Makes one wonder.

And get this ... one of the cutbacks the Greek government is making is reducing retiree benefits. Do you know that Greeks got to retire on their government at the ripe age of 54. They all had health insurance benefits for life, all Greeks, and that's nice but the IMF, in loaning them the money for their bailout has demanded that they 'privatize' their health insurance and get out of the business themselves ... Umm?

The there is the case of terrorism, a word the current administration would not utter - until last week when Times Square nearly became another 9-11 ... now our illustrious Homeland Security leader and Attorney General can't say it enough ... we are in a war 'on terror' and they will not let that happen on their watch ... I'm sure it was Bush's fault.

Keep you eye on this crew, something sinister is a brew!
