Predictions

I originaly posted this on Nov. 12, 2008.
I just figured I'd commit it here for posterity.
And so we can all keep track.
As I had stated then: I hope I'm very wrong.

In the next 4 years I predict we will see the following:

The end of the Electoral College.

The 'Fairness Doctrine' and the end of most of talk radio.

Any criticism of the Obama Administration will be labeled 'racist' and therefore be considered hate speech.

The Justice Dept. will be directed to investigate anyone critical of the Administration.

The Assault Rifle Ban will be brought back, only worse.

There will be serious attempts at banning all semi-auto pistols, all weapons that can hold more than 6 rounds, hollow-point ammo.

There will be serious attempts at passing a Federal law banning concealed carry, or an attempt to eliminate concealed carry by the withholding of Federal funds.

Tax increases on anyone making over $50,000.

Taxes on Energy will result in over $5 a gallon gasoline, and skyrocketing natrual gas, heating oil and electric prices.

There will be NO offshore drilling or Clean Coal.

Health care will be socialized.

Partial-Birth Abortion bans will be overturned.

Our military will be gutted, including cancellations or serious delays of major programs such as the F-35 JSF.

The Missile Defense programs will be killed.

Gitmo will be shut down.

Terrorists will be treated like criminals with rights instead of being hunted down and killed where they are found.

We will pull out of Iraq too soon.

We will lose in Afghanistan.

The GWOT will quietly end.

We will all but abandon Israel. Meaning we will give lip-service to supporting them but won't sell weapons systems or munitions to them or back them up when they are attacked.

Israel will suffer some form of WMD attack.
Israel will strike Iran.
Israel will Nuke someone.

China will threaten Taiwan and we won't respond.

There will be a terrorist attack on US soil.
