As I’ve already pointed out, Hillary Clinton is highly likely to be elected as our next president. The general public has swung predominantly over to the Democrat Party side and the Republican Party is in serious disrepute. Bush’s presidency has endured the most abysmal ratings of any administration in American history and his Vice President, Dick Cheney, seems to be literally hated by the majority of Americans. I get this latter view from reading comments posted on news sites by readers of his heart problems. Most of those comments flatly wish him dead.

Assuming that Mrs. Clinton becomes president, what is likely to follow?

The attempted takeover of Christianity by the Far Right in this country will suffer more than it has already as Democrats push a kinder, gentler New Testament version of it that brings Jesus’ teachings back into it. He did create it, after all.

With the Bush family no longer running the White House, the pandering to the Saudis may well stop, or at least slow down a lot. The Bush family and the Saudi royal family and their rich Wahabbist Arab muslim friends have long been close buddies. Oil, you know. This may mean less White House micro-managing that’s allowed terrorist organizations like the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to flourish, less Islamic school building and less Fundamentalist (terrorist) muslim immigration, though this remains to be seen.

It may also result in the freeing, finally, of border agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean and in more border enforcement. Hillary isn’t stupid and she knows that we want our borders guarded and the illegals kicked out, and she’s more of a party loyalist that George Bush proved to be, by far, which means that even though the Left wants all those illegals to have drivers licenses and free lunches, she knows how badly that would hurt the party. She’ll seek a compromise that reasonably satisfies everyone, which is probably that she’ll want a Federal law passed punishing employers of illegals, and she’ll enforce it without directly addressing the presence of the illegals.

This would serve to make them leave on their own, not having jobs here any longer and not being able to get them, we wouldn’t need to build that fence, just hire more guards to keep the terrorists and drug smugglers out, and the illegals couldn’t claim persecution. Our economy would instantly get a boost, particularly our beleagured hospitals, many of which have had to close because of the debts from helping the illegals. Jobs for Americans would open up and wages would rise. Granted, costs would rise as well, but considering how the rising price of oil has already hammered our economy by raising the price of goods, costs from rising wages are small in comparison. Increased wages can only help us. The price of gasoline has moved from the “Misc.” column to the “Major Expense” column in household budgets. My lower middle class neighbor says his weekly gas cost is $120. That’s a whole day of his pay. Before taxes.

Israel may suffer less manipulation by the White House and enjoy more support. Instead of Bush pressing them to give up yet more land for the Palestinians and Syrians to bombard them with rockets from, this tiny country may finally get the nod to take back all that they’ve given away so futiley and reassert their authority and governance over the Gaza Strip and Palestine.

The end of the Bush administration, in ending the unholy relations with the Islamic Arabs, is probably going to result in a lot of upset with those people. There will be less sympathy toward them with Hillary and less interest in appeasing them, because Hillary isn’t from an oil family. Like her husband, she will be more interested in a balanced budget, which he gave us and Bush destroyed massively. Expect changes in the tax laws that increase taxes for the rich and decrease taxes for the poor. Expect increased spending on our own needs and less on foreign adventurism. Expect oil pacts made with friendly, democratic countries and pacts broken with unfriendly Islamic ones. Expect relations with China to become decidedly more distant as trade with them begins to reverse and our international imbalance of trade becomes more favorable to us.

Expect to see the dollar slowly start to rise again against the Euro and Japanese Yen, and for us to come out of the economic mess that Bush has shoved us into.

On the bad side, there will still be Nancy Pelosi and the ACLU working their Far Left agenda, but I really don’t think that Mrs. Clinton will be pushed around by them.

For all the vilification of Bill Clinton, he maintained the peace and prosperity. In fact he took us out of a serious depression created by Bush Senior and was preparing to reduce our National Debt substantially. Bush Jr. took all those cash reserves and pissed them away, then increased our National Debt by another 3.5 trillion dollars.

I’m just looking on the bright side here. Short of sabotage or other unforseen events, Hillary Clinton, who is the frontrunner in the race, is our most likely next president. As I’ve said before, she’s not my choice, but we get what we get and very frankly, we could do a Hell of a lot worse with some of the other candidates. And NO, I’m not going there.

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. As my grandmother used to tell me, “Always expect the worst out of life. You’ll never be disappointed.” That may seem pessimistic but it’s good advice. Think about it.
