Well, not tomorrow, but sometime in the near-to-medium future.

Anyone who sits down and looks at the mess that Hamas has made of Gaza would say the same thing. There is just no way that Israeli public opinion will allow Gaza to continue shooting rockets at Israeli civilians. The more those rockets kill, the closer Israel gets to yet another invasion of Gaza.

Why hasn’t the Israeli army invaded before now?

Because the Israeli army doesn’t actually enjoy going to war.

Recently, I’ve been struggling with the challenge of communicating. Oh no, I can still talk. Why, I even said something a couple weeks ago that got a hairbrush thrown at me.

(I have a big mouth.)

But, there’s something on my mind that I’m having trouble getting out, and it’s all about the decline of America. It’s a giant topic and very complex, and it just doesn’t fit easily through the narrow pipe that is the written language. And, when I chop it down into smaller pieces, it still doesn’t seem to fit. So, instead of throwing concepts and ideas at you, I’m going to talk about me and what ‘me’ has seen.

I see that you’ve got your freeze-dried food. Your survival supplies are stored in the nuclear bomb shelter that you built in the 50s. You’ve got bandanas, face paint and an Ay Kay Forty Seven. You’ve got enough ammunition to hold off the Cleveland National Guard AND the local Parent Teacher Association. You’ve stocked up on DVDs and your favorite reading material. You even have manuals on how to restart civilization in America.

No Islamo-fascist state is gonna take you down, and that goes for any looney-tunes North Korean with poop-for-brains. That’s right. You are the Man! (or woman) And, you are Ready.

I’m starting to feel like the family dog that’s been persecuted too long by the cat.

You know how cats are… they hide in shadows and ambush you when your guard is down. Then, when you’re trying to take a snooze, they’ll sidle up to you, squeeze into any space you’ve left open, and play with your tail. And, that’s before the little beast decides to use your nose as a scratching post.

Pretty soon you’re jumping out of your skin at every shadow and sent outside because you bark too much. (And, the cat just grins at you as she cleans her whiskers.)

When I first heard that the Federal Deficit was equal to our yearly economic output, I was horrified.

“We’re DEAD,” I cried. “DEAD!”

I just KNEW that the average American didn’t have the cajones to pay off that kind of debt. And, I certainly knew that no American politician was going to ask their supporters to pay it off.

But, that was then. This is now.

A few weeks ago, I heard that the National Debt was actually worse than we thought. I didn’t pay much attention to that little bit of information, ‘cuz it was something that I had heard in passing. However, just a few moments ago, I find myself having read the information and suddenly understanding the implications.
