I don’t know about you, but the naughties were not the best decade I can remember. Every decade has its problems. For me, the 60s and the assassinations and the Vietnam war. The 70s had a terrible economy, social decay, the Iranian hostage crisis which was the real start of the war on terror. The 80s had economic turmoil, but I mostly enjoyed that decade. The 90s had Clinton and the beginnings of serious statist inroads as well as global warming/ozone hole BS. But the naughties were the decade where things really took a turn for the worse. We had the terrible choice of Bush vs Gore in 2000 (with McCain another possibility, agh). Then the dot com crash, 9/11, the two wars, homeland security encroachment on rights, the security state, the hysterical left and the growth of the nanny state, then it got capped off by the housing crash, a massive recession, bank bailouts that were a scam and the election of Obama.

There were times where things went well for me personally. There were also some bad years like the last two, which were not fun for me. I made some bad decisions that seriously set me back, and at the worst possible time, the economy tanked. The economy tanked a bunch of times this decade. So much for the efficiency of the government. They caused most of the problems.

Our country became divided after the 2000 election and only got worse. People went crazy. Many people replaced religion with politics. Many people became zealots. Many people got a major hate on. The evil people seemed to be on the run at the end of the 90s. And for a while in naughts, it looked like the era of the dictator was over. But now it looks like it is coming back. Evil governments seem to be gaining strength as our own seems to be weakening. We have a president who make Chamberlain look like a mensch. At least Chamberlain didn’t suck up to our enemies and apologize to them.

Our government has become insanely corrupt and they aren’t listening to us. Other governments are selling out their people in new and disgusting ways.

We’re on the verge of discovering if we can fight to keep our freedoms or not. Because the current government seems determined to undermine them at every turn.

It’s not a new story. We have been there before and survived. Hopefully we will again. But what happens in the mean time is the scary part.

It looks like this decade will be one of change and upheaval. I don’t think the left will have it easy. A social war of sorts is coming. How bad it gets depends on the way the so called leaders act. People are rally getting riled up and I don’t think the elites understand where that will lead.

I would like to stay positive, but it is really a time of uncertainly. Political correctness is still running amok at a time when barbarians are at the gates. We will either face reality or face decline. It’s up to us all as individuals to do our part to stand up for ourselves and our country.

So here are me annual predictions for 2010. Don’t forget to check out last year’s predictions and how I did.

1. Obama will cause a constitutional crisis due to his executive orders circumventing US Constitutional law (which is illegal). He has already done this here and elsewhere. When the administration allows international law enforcement to supersede US sovereignty, there will be a huge backlash and they will have to back down, or they will become seriously damaged as a result. I suspect it will be over a terrorist related issue.

2. Democrats will suffer epic losses in November, despite a slew of outrageous voting shenanigans involving the usual suspects. The Senate may go to Republicans and the House will be close to flipping. This will be aided by many Democrats changing parties in 2010.

3. But a third party conservative movement continues to grow as tea parties get larger through the year. Some congressional seats will go to these candidates.

4. The health care bill will not sustain the internecine politics of the Democrats and public opinion. So Obama care will fail, barely.

5. Obama will poll consistently in the 40s, and then in the 30s toward the end of the year. A growing anger toward his administration will begin to dominate the news cycle. Rumors that he won’t run in 2012 will circulate.

6. Obama’s second stimulus will not help the economy. Unemployment continues to be bad. Housing sales will be sluggish due to continuing lending problems and defaults.

7. Obama’s “cool” demeanor will slip publicly more than a few times. He will be openly mocked by the press that once lionized him Especially when they they sense he can’t recover his popularity and theys tart to blame him for his party’s fall from grace.

8. Many top Democrats will lose their seats including Dodd, Reid, Boxer, Nelson. “Blue dogs” will be especially vulnerable.

9. The stock market will continue to have sucker’s rallies, but it will also have more bear sessions.

10. A commercial real estate crash will continue to harm the economy.

11. Obama will try to claim we came out of the recession only to go into a “double dip” recession again. At this point most of the press will lable it the Obama recession after all his failed polices and empty rhetoric.

12. Massive protests around the world due to unemployment and inflationary problems that will be blame on US spending policies. Obama will get a lot of fire for his spending, which he will try to claim he is cutting back. But it will be too little too late.

13. Apple’s tablet PC will be a hit when it debuts next year. Tablet PCs will become a vogue form of PC use. Comics will make major inroads there.

14. Climate Change will continue to die a slow painful death in the public’s mind and certain proponents of it will come under increasing disfavor and even lawsuits. Politicians will start back peddling on it. More climate scandals will erupt.

15. There will be more terrorist attacks on the US and the administrations attempts to PC whitewash the Islamic aspect will start to incite a backlash.

16. The Obama birther issue will not die. It will grow. More calls for his background documents like college, etc, to be disclosed will grow louder.

17. Growing calls for impeachment will start to echo across the land.

18. Hillary Clinton will quit the Obama administration and start to become a critic, trying to distance herself from it. But she will not be able to recapture her political power.
