Amerigentina

America's credit rating just went butt up. I'm looking at saving what I can from the flames of a burnt out economy, which I assume will be the result of another year and a half of Obama worship among the massive retarded population in the heartland today. I was in Latin America when Argentina went bankrupt. It was not pretty. The tarnish wiped out any hope young people had of going home again, the silver lining gone, vacationing kids looking suicidal in paradise, one young couple reduced to hitch-hiking in a land where one pays for such a privilege, little did they know.

Peru is looking fine from here. Pack up the truck, ma, we're going to the coast. Let's git afore we lose our shirts.


"They's a time of change, an' when that comes, dyin' is a piece of all dyin', and bearin' is a piece of all bearin', an' bearin' an' dyin' is two pieces of the same thing. An' then things ain't so lonely anymore. An' then a hurt don't hurt so bad."

John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath.

Interesting how the Left always loves to wax prophetic and pretend that the millennium is just around the corner, provided we all rally behind the latest political messiah.

Well, we've had our little experiment in socialism, folks.

Socialism drove Argentina to mayhem and poverty, and Obama et al are attempting to do the same to America, the result being unimaginably worse. Maybe this is a good thing. It could be that the fruit of socialism has to be tasted to leave the bitterness of its taste in the mouths of people for some few generations as they try to live through the poison that it is. So pointless, given that those with any sense should at least know enough to listen to and obey those who are clear-minded enough to show them better. But we live in a time of unrestrained egotism, of nearly pure self-indulgence and sanctimony and sentimentality. Maybe the people will in time scream for a purgative, and it will be a good thing.
