CNN Poll: More Americans Pessimistic About State of Nation By Sandy Fitzgerald
Americans are becoming even more pessimistic about the state of the nation, according to a new CNN/ORC International poll released Friday, with more than half saying conditions are going badly.
The survey, conducted on Nov. 18-20 of 843 adults, showed that 41 percent believe conditions are going well, marking the lowest that number has been in a CNN poll since February 2012.
Meanwhile, 59 percent say things are going badly, a number up nine points since the last poll in April. The opinions were along a partisan divide, as well as a difference of opinion between younger and older people.
"There's a slight generational divide, with 46 percent of those under age 50 saying things are going well. That number drops to 36 percent for those 50 and older," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
Americans are also pessimistic about the economy, the poll showed. Thirty-nine percent believe the economy is still declining, and just 24 percent believed a recovery is occurring. Meanwhile, 36 percent said they do not believe there is a recovery going on, but still think conditions are becoming stable.
The numbers were similar to those from a CNN/ORC International survey in October, when 59 percent predicted poor economic conditions a year from now, while 40 percent said the economy would be in good shape next year, marking the lowest level of optimism from the public in two years.
Partisan and geographic divides also came into play when it came to the economy. Forty-five percent of people who are 50 or older say the economy remains in a downturn, but 34 percent of people younger than 50 said the economy is declining. Related stories:

amenper: ¿Por qué celebro del Día de Acción de Gracias“Gringo”?
Leo en un artículo de una revista hispana que un problema con la historia del "primer" día de Acción de Gracias, cuando los peregrinos y los indios se reunieron en la celebración de Plymouth, Massachusetts, es que realmente no era la primera acción de Gracias que se había celebrado en América.
Habían desembarcado otros conquistadores en América en 1607, años antes de los colonos en Plymouth Rock, y devorando los frutos de la tierra mucho antes
Casi casi un siglo antes de que el Capitán John Smith y sus intrépidas bandas atracaran en Jamestown, los conquistadores españoles aventureros y temibles desembarcaron en América en el siglo XVI. En 1513. Ponce de León descubrió Florida, donde fundó en América la primera ciudad, San Agustín, y celebra de hecho la primera acción de Gracias en 1565.
Así que nos dicen que no debemos celebrar el día de Acción de Gracias “Gringo”.
¿Debiéramos entonces celebrar el día de Acción de Gracias por los españoles no por lo que celebraron posteriormente los peregrinos?
NO…definitivamente, no lo creo, antes que nada tenemos que "cerebral' antes de "celebrar" un día de Accion de Gracias por los conquistadores no por los peregrinos. Las cosas no son tan simples como parecen, tenemos que identificar las diferencias.
Tenemos que reconocer que aunque hubo hombres con temor de Dios y religiosos entre los conquistadores pero la mayoría fueron eso, aventureros conquistadores en busca de oro y riquezas para llevarlos de vuelta a España para disfrute de la corona y de ellos mismos.
Las gracias a Dios dirigidas por religiosos, eran para las mayoría de los aventureros conquistares un ritual religioso que aceptaban como algo tradicional y más que todo por miedo supersticioso en un momento de peligro, pero que esperaban a que terminara lo más rápido posible para seguir la conquista de más tierras buscando riquezas materiales. Aún si aceptáramos que estaban dando gracias a Dios sinceramente, las gracias eran por las riquezas, no porque habían encontrado una nueva patria.
Lo que celebramos en el día de Acción de Gracias es cuando los primeros habitantes que vinieron perseguidos en su país por sus ideas, llegaron al nuevo mundo, no para llevarse las riquezas para su país, pero para vivir en una nueva tierra en libertad, y fueron los fundaron lo que es hoy en día los Estados Unidos. Los peregrinos vinieran a encontrar una nueva tierra donde vivir en libertad y sinceramente dieron Gracias a Dios por ello.
Esto es la celebración del Día de Acción de Gracias.
Los españoles vinieron a buscar diferentes cosas, un camino más corto para el oriente, y sobre todo Oro y riquezas para llevarlo de vuelta a España. Pero no vinieron buscando una nueva patria porque eran perseguidos en su país de origen.
Por eso es diferente, por eso tenemos que celebrar el Día de Acción de Gracias por los primeros americanos, los primeros que llamaron a esta tierra mi patria, que no vinieron a decir que estaban perseguidos en su país para después volver al poco tiempo a exhibir las riquezas al país de donde dijeron que vinieron por estar perseguidos.
Esas es la diferencia entre los verdaderos perseguidos que hicieron a América su patria porque eran perseguidos por sus ideas y los que vinieron en búsqueda de riquezas.
Ningún peregrino viajó de vuelta a Inglaterra mientras el régimen teocrático de Inglaterra estaba en el poder, su hogar y su patria era América.
Los Peregrinos en el nuevo mundo, por su trabajo, pudieron encontrar las riquezas que les brindó la tierra, pero esta no fue su motivación original para venir al nuevo mundo.
Su objetivo era encontrar una nueva patria donde pudieran vivir en libertad. No fueron como esos que vinieron simplemente a buscar una vida mejor para después al poco tiempo regresar a su país para disfrutar de las riquezas del país donde las adquirieron.
Ningún peregrino viajó de vuelta a Inglaterra mientras la Iglesia Anglicada era la religión del estado.
No sé porque si esto pasó hace tanto tiempo, cuando repito esto, me recuerda algo que repercute en mi mente como un hecho contemporáneo.
Pero en este día "por ellos y como ellos" damos gracias a Dios por permitirnos a nuestras familias vivir en una tierra de libertad.
FELIZ DIA DE THANKSGIVING “GRINGO”
The world needs a strong America as much as ever By Brian Cattell on November 27, 2013
Obama’s foreign policy weakness should spark a debate among U.S. conservatives
In the days since news of a deal on Iran’s nuclear programme broke, I’ve lost count of the number of commentators – of both the right and the left – lining up to denounce President Obama as the new Neville Chamberlain.
“Worse than Munich”, screamed the headline of one column published in the Wall Street Journal.
One prominent conservative radio host even asserted that Chamberlain was a left wing Labour party member who was sacked by his own party for being too left wing at Munich (talk about moulding the facts to your argument: Chamberlain was of course a Conservative).
As far as the Iranian agreement is concerned, it is true that any sensible person should have deep misgivings about it: the Western powers appear to have spectacularly underplayed a strong hand, and the deal runs the grave risk of allowing Iran to edge towards its malevolent nuclear ambitions by stealth.
However, rather than resembling the great appeaser Chamberlain, the worry is that Obama is starting to look more like Woodrow Wilson, the “great progressive” President whose hopeless idealism on the world stage preceded America’s virtual withdrawal from global affairs and the nightmare of the 1930s.
Like Wilson, Obama is a well-meaning and idealistic liberal. But he is up against countries and individuals who recognise only cold, hard Realpolitik – and see his idealism simply as an opportunity to be exploited.
Unfortunately, therefore, at a time when challenges on the international stage are proliferating, the administration continues to project a profound sense of American weakness, one that is almost unprecedented in modern times. So, of course, that will only embolden those people who seek to challenge Western hegemony – and those that do are not generally proponents of democracy, free markets and individual rights.
The potential threats to Western interests and the balance of power are manifold, and the stakes could not be higher.
Beyond the Middle East, they include the escalating tensions in the East China Sea and China’s throwing down the gauntlet with provocative new air defence rules; the fate of Ukraine – whose people want to strike out on a new Western-oriented path – but whose supine politicians have been strong-armed back into line by a ruthless Vladimir Putin; as well as the woefully underreported but rapidly deteriorating situation in a number of African countries where Western commercial interests (not to mention democratic ideals) must make do with scant political support.
All of this is as much a challenge for American conservatives, as it is for the current liberal incumbents.
History shows that Wilson’s decline was followed by a sweeping victory for Republican isolationism, which ultimately helped create the conditions in which the enemies of a Western way of life could prosper and wreak havoc.
It is one thing therefore for conservatives to criticise the Obama administration’s many fumbles on the international stage. But they must also show what kind of foreign policy they would put in its place.
Nobody would advocate a return to the discredited neo-conservative doctrine of the Bush era but isolationism, which appeals to a growing part of the conservative movement in the US, is also not the answer. Of course, America cannot micro-manage every conflict in the world, and it certainly cannot fight every war.
But a United States that is enfeebled and withdrawn from international affairs would be a disaster, first of all for the many parts of the world that still look towards it, but then, in due course for Americans themselves.
That should never happen again.
amenper: ThanksOmamacare Day
He disfrutado de mi día de Acción de Gracias con mi familia de un modo tradicional.
Comimos el Pavo relleno acompañado de las otras cosas como boniato dulce y puré de papas con “gravy” y el postre de pastel de nueces, este año me pusieron un Cheesecake de nueces que mi hizo engordar 5 libras.
Pero en general lo pasamos como creo que debe de ser un Día Tradicional de Acción de Gracias.
Pero igual que siempre pensamos en la gente de Cuba que no tienen que comer porque creyeron en las maravillas del socialismo, así tenemos que pensar hoy en los que han creído en el Obamacare y su líder.
Vamos a pensar las ventajas y desventajas que tienen con la celebración del Día de dar Gracias por el Obamacare, el ThanksObamacare.
La celebración no fue ayer, porque tenían problemas técnicos con el horno y la pospusieron para el próximo día 30.
No se ustedes, pero a mí cuando como el pavo me gusta la carne blanca, en el ThanksObamacare está prohibido esta discriminación, todos tienen que comer la carne oscura.
Pero vamos a ver las noticias que tenemos de la celebración la próxima semana o cuando ya estén arreglados los problemas técnicos del horno
Primero oirán unas palabras pregrabadas de Obama sobre el ThanksObamacare, como una inspiración para todos los participantes para la celebración.
"Entiendo que están trabajando duro para poder comer este Pavo a la salmuera, pero vamos concentrarnos en lo importante: de por qué usted no se inscribió todavía en el Obamacare”.
" ¿No has oído está mejorando mucho? No vamos a hablar en esta reunión familiar sobre el sabor del pavo o la próxima boda de cuquita, convirtamos esta conversación a lo que realmente importa: evitar una espiral de muerte y asegurar la inscripción de todas las personas en un seguro de salud universal'.
Después viene la oración antes de la comida, que será dicha por el cabeza de la familia.
“Compañeros…digo… damas y caballeros! Este es un maravilloso momento del año! Una reunión con unidades familiares y amigos para una fiesta gloriosa de ThanksObama!
Recordemos en este día al Gran líder Barack Hussein Obama, que lo inspira a usted como un miembro leal al partido, aprovechemos esta oportunidad para predicar las maravillas de Obamacare a todos aquellos que no están tan ansiosos por inscribirse todavía!
Reedúcalos para que se unan a la fiesta para juntos promover la magnificencia que el Obamacare es.
Todos tenemos que estar preparados para la retroalimentación negativa de la contrarrevolución….perdon...digo... los republicanos, y hablar solamente términos elogiosos en general! Disfrute de la comida y las sobras, difunda el mensaje progresista, y organiza sus unidades de familiares y amigos! …….Amen.”
Después aclararán que el pavo aunque parece que se quemó en el horno con dificultades técnicas, no está realmente quemado, pero es una representación del físico del querido líder Barack Hussein Obama.
Se aclara que no habrá puré de papas porque las papas son blancas y van contra la diversidad racial, solamente se darán como vegetales las remolachas rojas, y de postre pastel de chocolate.
Se cantará la internacional y los niños la canción que aprendieron en la escuela de OOOBAAMA, YES HE IS OUR MAN, HE IS OUR MAN…YES OOOBAAMA…. YES HE CAN….
Y el cabeza de familia dará las gracias a los visitantes por cooperar a la fiesta con sus sellos de alimentos para poder comprar el pavo para celebrar la reunión, y darán las Gracias a Obama, nuestro lider y Señor por proveer todos los programas de beneficios.
Happy ThanksObamacare a todos.
amenper: First Happy Thanksgiving
Washington’s Proclamation 1789
hereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the Providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me to “recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:”
Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His Providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which he has been pleased to confer upon us.
And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our national government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.
Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3d day of October, A.D. 1789.
Mike Rogers, Cruz: Obama Deal Ignores Iran's Missile Pact With NKorea
By Melanie Batley
Congressional Republicans are escalating their criticism of the Obama administration and its Iranian nuclear deal as news broke that the country has been covertly collaborating with North Korea on a new rocket booster for long-range missiles.
"While the president was undertaking his secret negotiations — which Congress wasn't informed of — he had to know Iran and North Korea were testing new engines for ballistic missiles to target the United States," said Alabama Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Armed Services subcommittee on strategic forces, according to The Washington Free Beacon.
"Every day the president's deal looks worse and worse," he said.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is equally critical, saying the agreement with Iran neglected to address the threat of intercontinental ballistic missiles.
"The Iranian regime is clearly demonstrating through word and deed that they have no intention of moderating the behavior that earned them one of the harshest international programs of economic sanctions on record," Cruz told the Beacon.
"Relaxing the sanctions now only encourages them to continue their pursuit of nuclear weapons — and the means to deliver them to Israel, Europe and even the United States.
"I hope President Obama and Secretary [of State John] Kerry will reconsider this dangerous policy and add the immediate cessation of their ICBM program to the list of prerequisites placed on Iran before any additional negotiations take place," Cruz said.
A report Tuesday revealed that Iran has been secretly working with North Korea on a new 80-ton rocket booster than can be used in both countries' long-range missile programs,according to the Beacon, citing officials familiar with intelligence reports.
Several groups of Iranian technicians traveled to Pyongyang over the last few months, including as recently as late October, to develop the booster which officials say could be used on both a space launcher and a long-range missile.
U.S. intelligence agencies believe the countries are using their space programs to hide long-range strategic missiles which could be used to launch nuclear warheads capable of reaching the U.S. within the next two years.

THE RIGHT STUFF
'2016': OBAMA PLANS TO 'TAKE AMERICA DOWN'
Startling predictions now coming true at breakneck speed
In the 2012 highest-grossing documentary, “2016: Obama’s America,” political commentator Dinesh D’Souza made some startling predictions about the second term of Barack Obama – and now he has released a fresh, eight-minute addition to the film revealing how the president plans to “take America down a notch.”
D’Souza explains, “One of the predictions is that Obama would spend money promiscuously to raise the debt in virtual indifference to the impact of the debt on American citizens. In fact, Obama has been racking up the debt at the rate of $1 trillion a year. The debt has doubled in Obama’s term in office.”
Obama’s plot to “drag the economy down” and redistribute American wealth to the rest of the world – and financially cripple the nation – he explains, “is a transfer of hundreds of billions, in fact trillions of dollars, out of the United States and into other countries.”
Watch the new addition to the film:
In his addition to the film, D’Souza also explains exactly why and how “Obama wants to shrink the influence of American foreign policy” by “undermining our allies and … allowing our adversaries to remain in power.”
In an email announcing the film update, D’Souza wrote, “[T]here are those within our country that seek to undermine [America's] exceptionalism and ‘take us down a notch.’ What’s worse is that one of those people happens to be the president of the United States.
“When I directed ’2016: Obama’s America’ over a year ago, I prayed that I would be wrong. The damage that I predicted Obama would do to our country could never be worth an ‘I told you so.’
“Unfortunately, I wasn’t wrong. Wielding a weaponized national debt and a disdain for our standing in the world, President Obama draws us nearer and nearer to the dystopia that I warned against in 2016.”
