2011 Sucked, 2012 Could Be Even Worse
On a personal, family level, 2011 was one of the worst years of our lives, but that's our problem.
On national and world levels, 2011 sucked just as much with the added downer that, unlike us, 2012 holds the prospect of being even worse for the United States and the planet.
Of course, good things happened last year; they always do.
Navy Team 6 dispatching Usama bin laden was the highlight, an economy showing meager signs of improvement was less noteworthy but nevertheless a good thing, GOP candidates having the nerve to debate incessantly and make their opinions known to the electorate was a refreshing novelty, the stock market did fairly well, the Iraq War temporarily ended, and the number of abortions declined.
As is too often the case, the bad outweighed the good both at home and throughout the world in 2011.
Domestically, MSNBC and Bill Maher are still regurgitating, the economy is still wallowing in the doldrums, poverty is increasing as planned by the administration, our borders are farcical, and the nation suffered through a series of unprecedented natural catastrophes as well as social upheaval with 1960€s precedents in the persons of the Occupiers.
However, although Mother Natures's onslaughts are inevitable and unavoidable, we are free to pull the plug on MSNBC and Maher, the economy will recover, the poor really aren't really all that bad off, various states are attempting to perform the federal job of stemming illegal immigration, and the Occupiers are more and more recognized for the anarchists they are.
As opposed to those 2011 negatives with silver linings, above all else in the negative category is the fact Barack Hussein Obama still reigns as America's Chief Executive.
Overseas, cataclysmic natural, economic, and political events were far worse than our own.
A devastating earthquake and tsunami rocked Japan, the euro and the once-envisioned United States of Europe reached a melting point, Iran continued to be psychopathic, China prepared for war, Russia returned to despotism, and the Arab Spring developed into an Arab Winter with Islamists potentially converting Egypt, Libya, Tunisia into rabidly potent American enemies.
On top of all that, the Mayans predicted that near the end of 2012, December 21st to be precise, a 5,125 year cycle will come to a close.
Before we head to churches and fallout shelters based on that closure, it should be noted the extinct Mayans were big on predictions, if not extinctions. They also foresaw developments in 2017 and 2025, which would sort of negate the end of times come 12-21-12.
The beginning of the end for the America as we once knew it and foolishly assumed would endure forever won't occur next December. It will happen in November, on Tuesday 11-6-12, should Obama be re-elected. The fruition of that chilling prospect would be the occasion not to resort to prayers or shelters but to move to Montana and establish military enclaves and hunker down for an indefinite duration.
If that option is not feasible or pallatable, the only viable alternative is for the American people to hold their noses next Election Day if need be and vote all the SOBs out. Nothing will insure Nirvana but a fresh start would go a long way toward making 2013 and beyond years of true hope and change.
