2013 will be boring


2013 will be boring because we will watch the Syrian opposition become more and more islamist dominated as we do nothing but support them in general.
2013 will be boring because we will see Egypt complete its mutation into the centerpiece of islamist nationalism thru non sharia sharia.
2013 will be boring because we will see Obama do more and more by executive fiat until SCOTUS gets involved and govt becomes even more partisan and events more uncertain
2013 will be boring because we will see stagnancy become economic success, and people in govt and business be congratulating each other for achieving it.
2013 will be boring because we will see declining support for the republican party.
2013 will be boring because we will see Harry Reid move to suppress the 60 vote requirement for Senate debate cut off
2013 will be boring because we will see China become more authoritarian while decreasing labor costs relative to the USA.
2013 will be boring because we will see the USA more and more ignored around the world as events move forward, even as we see our own economic well being impacted because of it
2013 will be boring because we will see the US Govt by decree make energy more and more expensive for our own good.
2013 will be boring because we will see the democrats ‘protect’ Social Security and Medicare, but gut its future financially thru microscopic rule changes.
2013 will be boring because we will see the F-35 program to replace 7600 F-16’s delayed and degraded to about 1000 F-35’s, before dropping even further.
2013 will be boring because we will see the democratic party ensure no missile defense improvements are made, and no further major research is done.
2013 will be boring because we will see Israel cajoled and threatened to NOT attack Iran as we threaten Iran more and more and do nothing, until they achieve STOCKPILE of 2 or 3 weapons … which they will announce they had to do because of our threats.
2013 will be boring because we will see Israel give up, without announcing it, any ideas of a 2 state solution, because of lack of credible outside security support, and move to annex Judea and Samaria with Palestinian autonomous enclaves, sparking another intifada. We will stamp our feet.
2013 will be boring because we will see Obama’s approval rating move to close to 60% even as personal incomes continue to decline.
2013 will be boring because we will see Chrysler manufacturing begin to move offshore to BOTH China and Italy. Quietly. Obama will say nothing.
2013 will be boring because we will see GE announce major expansion of their water heater plant in the USA, while doubling the size of their turbine (and jet engine?) facilities in China, then plan to use these in US aircraft, including military aircraft.
2013 will be boring because we will see another Muslim state move dramatically towards being another Sharia state, probably in Africa. We will applaud this democratic event.
2013 will be boring because we will see another spate of Obama-care lawsuits reach SCOTUS, and this time ONE of them will be successful enough to turn the issue back to Congress as the center of the 2014 election argument.
2013 will be boring because we will see the polarization in the USA grow until scuffling over issues and protests in the street, with injuries become common, and no longer notable.
2013 will be boring because all of these things are so obviously going to occur, they are BORING

2013 will be boring because we have lost the republic.

Hey, gloomy Gus, there's some good thing to expect too!

-Less reliance on OPEC as fracking boosts domestic energy production

-The collapse of Al-Shabaab in Somalia as it looses its financial strength and its control over the key port of Kismayo

-The death of Zawahiri? The military and intel community have done a great job following leads--it could happen!

@Money Jihad- Here's my view on your additions...

optimists make headlines

cynics make history

;)

BTW, what makes you think the EPA will not do to fracking what they did to coal?

For our own good, of course.
