I just hope Wall Street is completely destroyed. God is coming and is she pissed

Attention everyone !! TimeToEvolve actually is hoping that the market, where all American companies trade their stock, he wished it gets destroyed!!!!!!......that means all the stocks and mutual funds Americans have in your retirement accounts, ALL publically traded American companies he wishes are completely destroyed.
If THAT isn't being anti-American, I don't know what is.
he thought wall street meant some fat-cat banker, when it was the market where all stocks are traded.....I wish I didn't have to share my country with people who wish we were destroyed.
If THAT isn't being anti-American, then you don't know what is.
Especially as they get taxpayer-funded welfare in return for offshoring, as we've told YOU time and time again.

We will have Power Failures - People will Burn Candles
I am the first to agree that flashlights and light sticks are the preferred form of emergency lighting. The difficulty with most homes and emergency kits is their ability to provide lighting on a long term basis -24/48/72 hours or 10 days. This is why Kevin's Kandles are an ideal tool for emergency and disaster preparedness.
- 15,000+ accidental candle fires are reported in the USA each year. Kevin's Kandles greatly reduce this risk for your family and your community. They help eliminate the "Stupid Factor" when people run out of batteries during extended power failures and "get creative" with their illumination.
In North America, 4% of residential fires are candle related. A majority of the deaths and injuries occur during power failures and in houses where the electricity has been disconnected.
- Again, this is why Kevin's Kandles are such a great tool for Emergency and Disaster Preparedness. They are Much Safer than traditional candles, Convenient, Inexpensive and Environmentally Friendly. If a Kevin's Kandle is left unattended - it will go out; if it is tipped over - it will go out!
-Each pack of Kevin's Kandles manufactured in the USA, contains 100 - 10 hour candles. A carton measures 15 x 15 x 20", weighs 25 pounds and contains 500 packs of Kevin's Kandles. That's a potential of 50,000 - 10 hour candles!

Kevin's Kandles are a safer and less expensive alternative to traditional emergency candles.
Not if you have kids. Or think humanity is a thing worth preserving.
Unfortunately, we have these nutcase tea partiers, for whom any investment in infrastructure is an evil communist plot. If they had been around in the 1950s, Ike's interstate system would never have been built. According to them, the Magical Private Sector Fairy fulfills all of society's needs.
"I'm not sure what causes climate change"
But he's sure where his bread is buttered: by the oil and coal lobbies who have bankrolled his campaign.
Romney also did a lot of other things - he's offshored jobs, he supports offshoring of jobs, but has the nerve to yell at students who invariably took on student loan debt, as investment, so they can further themselves and do the right things for this country.
So, let's pray for the citizens of this country.

Trying last minute scare tactics? We know angel Obama who understands -after all he was a community organizer while Romney has horns on his head and right now laughing like a devil. Oh, i got confuse for a sec-it was Biden laughing like a devil about Benghazi.
