• May Unemployment Rises to 9.1%

  June 3, 2011 at 12:32pm

  This summer is going to be rough. Many experts are forecasting conditions on all fronts to worsen. In the long term, this is good for our country (silver lining). Once everything falls apart, and a conservative is elected and everything greatly improves – Liberals won’t be reelected and a true conservative uprising will occur. It’s going to be great for the economy and we as a country will truly thrive. Independents will see this, and many of them will lean to the right for years to come. All you have to do is ride out the next 6-12 months… Pull out of the stock market, and prepare now for the storm. The double-dip recession forecast shouldn’t be laughed at. If you look at the housing market, its a good indicator. Record falls in home sales, more foreclosures occuring again (same as just before the first drop-off of our economy as a whole).

• Meet the Army’s Latest Medal of Honor Recipient

  In reply to bryan69.

  They don’t just hand these things out. I’m sure that if you read the entire recommendation, you’d see that. I’m sure there was good reason to give it to him. If you had both your legs shot out from under you, and then a grenade went off just feet from your position, pushing shards of metal into you and your buddy and your ears were ringing from the blast, would you still have the focus to react that fast and do what he did? Would you have enough focus to put a tourniquet on your own arm when all you could see was that your hand was gone (and all the while staying calm and not screaming for help until the fight was over)? I feel confident that he earned the right to stand with other MOH recipients. He’s made more of a sacrifice for this country than most.
