&lt;p&gt;Of course she would be ready to bomb anyone if she gets in office--even the people who left her campaign to support Obama. It'll be pay back time!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She's too angry to be president--I'm not impressed. We're already disliked around the world.&lt;/p&gt;

She's hot-headed, nasty, and holds more grudges than my ex-mother-in-law. As for Bill, he's as big a non-issue as his wife. Why on earth is he fighting so hard for her? Hmmmm. Lemme guess. He's made $100 million bucks in the past 8 years, half of it is automatically hers in a divorce, and if she loses this election, you can be certain Grudge # 1 is going to be dumped on his head, because she'll blame him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Wanna talk about something? Let's talk about Obama, and how the delicate sensibilities of the more liberal, let's-not-offend crowd of handlers around him haven't the balls to let him say exactly what is on American minds. We are beginning to have the same thing on our minds up here in Canada too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Obama said something to the effect that small town America is holding on to it's guns and religion while being faced with the seemingly insurmountable odds of day-to-day survival. I may not have gotten that completely right, but it's close enough for horse shoes. Either way, that got spun to such an extent that by the end of the day, the explanation came nowhere near what I'd like to think the guy really meant.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; We are all, Americans and Canadians alike being taxed into the ground, and every time we turn around, some useless bureaucrat is dreaming up another tax. Usually in the form of a new fee, or increase for something we never used, but now legally have to have. Government is more than just gradually stripping us all of our individual rights in the name of so-called Homeland Security. Another uselss institution being run by a bunch of paranoid schizophrenics, and that will ultimatly prove to be nothing more that a security fence for the powerful and wealthy trying to keep the rabble of society outside the fence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Big business as charging us every nickel and dime we haven't got, and still going for more. Fuel is one thing to lie to us about, but food? Now the cost of just the basics is going through the roof, and people are on the verge of going hungry. They're crawling up into their attics to sell heirlooms?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; What's even sicker? The stock market is going up again, and in a hurry. How is it that the stock market can climb while the people are declining? That has never made sense to me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Here's what I WANT to think Obama meant.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The people are getting angrier and angrier all the time, and yes, they are clinging to their guns and their bibles. Why? Because every one of us has the God Given Right to the food we work for, the homes we strive with all of our mights to build and maintain, the Families we love, and want to care for, the basic necessities of daily life that are all around us, and we have every right to find affordable. If big business is going to build cars, then we have a right to expect the fuel to run them with. Are we really short of oil? Get real. Pricing is as much a collusion between Big Oil and the pruducing States as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The Bibles people are clutching are the moral support of their conviction that all life is sacred, and all life has rights, rights that are being stripped from the average person more and more every day, to the point where some are now on the verge of desperation. Those numbers are increasing by the day too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The Guns? Just give it a little more time, and the politicians who talk too much, the ones who lie cheat and steal, the ones who do nothing will find out what those guns are for. So will the corporate big shots in the oil industry, at the phone companies who feel they have a right to charge you for taking your cash, or using the time of a real human body to pay your bills, the ones who are controlling basic food costs, and the rest of the greedy slime who are obliterating the middle class, and impoverishing the poor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; That's what the guns are for, and if the politicians, and business leaders can't see that coming, then I really don't want to be in their shoes in the forseeable future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; We are coming up on summer. After that will be the fall season, and if things haven't straightened out a lot for the people by then, winter is going to turn into a nightmare. The American people WILL NOT &amp;nbsp;stand idly by while their government, and business leaders rape them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; That is the message I WANT to believe Mr. Obama was trying to send to the voters. If I'm wrong, so be it. It IS a message our own government in Canada wants to begin hearing though, and very, very soon. There are even fewer options for Canadians.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Where I live, the same circumstances are beginning to come home to roost the Americans have been dealing with for the past year or so. Too much month, and not enough money.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Ok. I got that off my chest.&lt;/p&gt;

Seeing how the last time Iran/Persia unilaterally attacked another nation was in 1739, I don't see how the US, and Israel for that matter, are in the position to spew hypothetical retaliations to an UNLIKELY Iranian &amp;quot;attack.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This whole smear campaign against Iran is ridiculous. I wish the US would realize that we are responsible for Iran being the way it is now. Iran HAD A DEMOCRACY. The Iranian people elected Mossadeq to lead THEM. But what did the US and Britain do?? Yeah, Operation Ajax...the first time this nation said NO to democracy and YES to a corrupt monarchy. The Shah, the man we installed, was more interested in serving the British and the US than he was his own people. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But still, after denying the Iranians democracy, I am so humbled by the fact that the Iranian people, the only people in an Islamic nation in the Middle East, actually LIKE Americans. So yeah, the Iranian people, and the government too, want to be friends with the US and we want to BOMB them. What is wrong with this picture??&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, Bush and his cronies took our country to war with Iraq on a bed of lies. They continue to lie to us. They continue to lie about everything. Why should we ever believe any bit of garbage that comes out of their mouths when it comes to Iran??? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Think about the millions of innocent people, innocent children, elderly, and infirm, this nation would slaughter if we citizens sat back and allowed our government to take the &amp;quot;Iraqistan&amp;quot; war to Iran. Think about that as you tuck your children into bed tonight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;THE UNITED STATED DECLARED WAR AGAINST IRAN!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ACCORDING TO SOURCES CLOSE TO THE SITUATION, HAVE EXPLAINED THAT DURING RELATIONS WITH IRAN, THEY CALLED THERE TERRAIN DIRT, INSTEAD OF SAND. SEEN AS A BOLD FACE LIE!! THE UNITED STATES REACTED TO THE INSULT QUICKLY, BY FIRING OUR BALISTIC MISSLES!! 5 OF THEM AT 500 MEGATON EACH. HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE ENTIRE REGION SOMETIME AROUND 2987.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THANK YOU, HAVE A NICE DAY, AND PREPARE TO DIE!&lt;/p&gt;
