Our next President?

Wolseley,

I think you're dreaming Baby-Boomer dreams. Trace Adkins is the youngest on your list, and he's only a year younger than rapidly-aging President Obama. If we DO get a geriatric President like one of those on your list, we will probably be most fortunate. I don't think that's what we'll get, though. The country was genuinely looking for Change in 2008, and even 47-year-old Barack Obama was unable to fit the bill. As young as he was (and still is, by Presidential standards), he was and is beholden to his godfathers and mentors, hospice material like Zbigniew Brzezinski and Henry Paulson. If the American people get their way, I think we'll have our first non-Baby-Boomer in 2017, someone probably born in the 1970s.

Bearing the above in mind, and considering that privilege and nepotism are alive and well as never before in America, I thought Young Bush was a good guess. Add to that, the fact that none of the polls on the subject even list him as a possibility.

You can see by the wide range of favorites on this thread, that there is no concensus choice for President. Hillary Clinton, of the latest Democrat dynasty, isn't even mentioned. Her biggest mistake in office, of course, was having a stroke; but in today's glitz-and-glamor politics, that's a fatal mistake.

My personal favorite? I think Bobby Jindal of Louisiana LOOKS good; but (1) He probably doesn't stand a chance of winning and (2) Looks tell you nothing about what he will do in office.

I believe the "little horn" of the "Beast", of Revelation and Daniel, will be an American President, quite possibly the next one. Millions of Christians will vote for him, and follow him.

Why the next one? We already have that. Millions of Christians voted for Barack Obama. Was anyone on your list so rabidly in favor of abortion as Obama? Was anyone a narcissist? Was anyone so power-hungry yet uninterested in the real work?

"Anti-" Christ means "In Place of " Messiah. I'm not looking for the "beast" to be exceptionally flawed or evil. What creates the "antichrist" is actually the people who vote for him, who are expecting an ungodly man to save them IN PLACE OF Messiah. The scriptures say that the Devil is the one who gives power to the beast; and it describes the Devil as having essentially the same form as the beast. He will be a man after the people's own heart; and because the people are evil (shaped like the Devil in their spirits), the beast has the same form.

I don't think Mr. Obama is so evil, that he has to be the beast. Neither do I believe he is so good that he cannot be. I do know that the American people are drifting farther and farther from the God of the Bible; and that we are actually behind the Europeans and Canadians in this. A godless people worships their own mortal, human power -- their own private "beast" -- as a god.

The Bible says all the people of this world will worship the beast, and follow after him. He will be popular. "He" could also be a "she", of course. The saving virtue of Mr. Obama is that he's something of a nincompoop, with no real ideas of his own. This makes him relatively ineffective and harmless. I believe "the beast" will be far more effective, and that people will praise and worship him because of it.

and yes, we ALL KNOW that Hillary will wipe butt with all the potential Republican candidates for 2016

God bless America, we are going to have another 8 years of Democrat presidency after Obama

Where is your sense of justice? Nothing short of ending racial profiling is expected for all leaders, especially the next president. Hillary has not earned that vote.

These writers are aware of the criteria.

When four Americans were murdered under her watch, with a complete lack of security which was her duty to provide, Hillary said "What difference does it make?"

Why would anyone in America think that was an admirable characteristic, worthy of elevation to the highest office in the land?

Since when is dereliction of duty a positive?

What's so wrong about Sarah Palin?

What's so wrong about Sarah Palin?

nothing!

she is definitely by far the most entertaining comedian ( oops, did I just say comedian? I mean politician) in living memory!

she made the 2008 election so much more interesting!

Wolseley,

I think you're dreaming Baby-Boomer dreams.

LOL. None of those guys were first on my list, but the ones I really wanted are all dead now. Good choices would be Harry Truman, John Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan, but, alas, they have all gone to a better place.

If the American people get their way, I think we'll have our first non-Baby-Boomer in 2017, someone probably born in the 1970s.

That could be a good thing or a bad thing. I don't know what to think.

My personal favorite? I think Bobby Jindal of Louisiana LOOKS good; but (1) He probably doesn't stand a chance of winning and (2) Looks tell you nothing about what he will do in office.

I like what I've seen of Bobby Jindal, but I don't know too much about him. Same with Jeb Bush, although if he has any sense, he will run from the idea of campaigning for president as fast as he can. With his family background, even if he got elected, the liberals would make his life a living hell.

A party might FIELD septuagenarian candidates, but I don't think they'll get elected. My generation has had Clinton, GW Bush and Obama, all 8-year Presidents; and we've made a total mess of things. My parent's generation had more Presidents (Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, GHW Bush), but they tended not to stay in office very long. They gave us insane concepts like trees having standing in courts (not courtyards, but legal courts); and we dropped acid, took a toke or two and "improved" on that. God help our children.

Alas, there's more truth than fiction to this, I'm afraid. The World War II generation was the last one which saw America as exceptional, the best country in the history of the world. The Baby Boomers.....well, you put it quite succinctly above. They were the rebels, rejecting everything that came before them, both good and bad. Generation X came up in the aftermath of that, after all the standards had been removed, and replaced with.....nothing; except exhaustion and cynicism. They have extremely loose, or even non-existant standards, which explains why they embraced political correctness as a life philosophy. It's also why I'm not sure that a Gen X president would be a good thing, or a bad thing. It's a tough call.

This is what a PRESIDENT SHOULD LOOK LIKE

COMPETENT AND BRILLIANT, MORE THAN A PRETTY FACE

Republicans ( in general) have no brains, it is scientific proven fact!

*ahem* Okay, moving right along.....

"Anti-" Christ means "In Place of " Messiah.

I think the Greek actually means "Against-" Messiah.

What's so wrong about Sarah Palin?

Well, she tried to present the image of someone who cared about family, self-reliance, hard work, and what used to be called solid middle-class values.

In an era of people who champion moral relativity, sexual deviancy, dependance on government handouts, and hedonism, that alone was enough for the left to do everything in their power to destroy her.

I dont' know most of the men here but I like Sheriff Joe.

It was just a list of guys I threw out there off the top of my head.

1. Donald Trump

2. Herman Cain

3. Ross Perot

4. Sheriff Joe Arapio

5. Trace Adkins

6. Charlie Daniels

7. Jerry Doyle

8. Ben Stein

Maybe you could add Gary Sinise to the list as well:

"Lieutenant Dan for President".

 

[TerranceL]

Sorry I don't want anybody in office who thinks the greatest victims of war aren't the men dying but the women left behind.

 

[Wolseley]

Who's that? Sinise?

Me personally, I think everybody who's involved in a war is a victim---the soldiers, the wives, the civilians, and the children. Not to mention that war is extremely tough on real estate.

I remember reading an account by an American GI in Germany towards the very end of World War II; this was after we crossed the Rhine but before the surrender. He was in some town that was big enough to have a zoo, and he said he'd go down to the zoo every day, because there was a hippo there that was still alive. Every day he'd go down and feed this hippo K-bars (not the Ka-Bar combat knife, but the semi-sweet chocolate bars that were issued in K rations). The hippo would open his mouth real wide, and he'd just toss the K-bar right in. He said he felt that it was an awful nice hippo, but it was a terrible shame the way there were dead lions and bears and giraffes all over the zoo, killed in the shelling.

It's stuff like that that gives you pause; unintentional victims, collateral damage. There was that scene in All Quiet on the Western Front where the horses hauling supplies got caught in the shelling. They were terrified and screaming in that way that horses do; one of them had been ripped open and was stumbling around in its own intestines, and one of the soldiers, who was a farmer in civilian life and very fond of horses, couldn't stand it. He jumped up and started shouting, "Shoot them! Shoot them! For the love of God, shoot them!"; his buddies had to physically restrain him. Finally one of the guys got a bead on the horse doing the screaming and put the poor beast out of its misery, but that's where you shake your head and ask, "Why do the horses have to suffer like that? They don't have anything to do with this insanity." It's bad enough the human beings have to be vicious and horrible and cruel and savage to each other, without involving some poor innocent beast in it that never did them any harm.

Okay, I'm preaching. Sorry....I got a little carried away there.

 

[Creech]

Personally, I would love to have Patrick J. Buchanan as President. He is the only die-hard conservative I can really think of in current politics/media.

 

[Wolseley]

Yeah, he'd be a good choice, too.

 

[BlandOatmeal]

It's only about 36 months until the next Republican Primary, and we already have 36 "flavors of the month" to go through. The Democrats, meanwhile, seem to all be planning on voting for Hillary, dead or alive.

Pardon me, for not getting too excited about all this. I just took part in one telephone survey today, and hung up on another. Maybe we won't have an election in 2016, but will choose our leader through a Pew Research Survey.

 

[TerranceL]

Who's that? Sinise?

No that would be Hillary Clinton.

Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. Women often have to flee from the only homes they have ever known. Women are often the refugees from conflict and sometimes, more frequently in today’s warfare, victims. Women are often left with the responsibility, alone, of raising the children.

All those men that actually you know.... DIED... meh.

I'm not too thrilled about Hilary, but if nobody else steps up to the plate...

Meanwhile, 36 flavors of the month means that at least 35 of them must be dismissed as RINOs before the real circus begins...

For one I won't vote for a military general, a actor, a oilman, or a golfer. But may vote for a one-eyed 3-card monte dealer named Jack. (not to be confused with that darn cotton-eyed Joe who took my girl) Cause that is the type of person needed to deal with the Capitol Hill gang.
