1)Dependency, consumption, and entitlement will continue seducing our society away from liberty, productivity, and responsibility as more sincere paths to happiness. “All sins tend to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is damnation”. W. H. Auden
2) The Democratic Party will continue making America more dependent on the least dependable thing in the universe – politicians. “No one is more of a slave than he who thinks himself free without being so.” Johann von Goethe
3)The Republican Party will continue pretending to reliably stand for something beyond power and cronyism. “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.” Abraham Lincoln
4) Obama will not continue to be President, but our weak, paralyzed, and special interest dedicated government will continue faltering at all levels. “Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.” Thomas Jefferson
5) Islamic extremists operating behind spiritual pretense will continue subverting freedom, hope, and peace in the middle-east – and exporting their chaos here. “Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury.” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
6) The importance of personal responsibility, creativity, knowledge, skills and initiative will continue growing as the luster of vanity diplomas and liberal indoctrination degrees fade. “The price of greatness is responsibility.” Winston Churchill
7) China’s systemic corruption and power agenda will continue, and, along with Europe’s slide and our own, take the world to harder places. “In the absence of justice, what is sovereignty but organized robbery?” Saint Augustine
8)We will continue to agitate between the extremes of crony capitalism and crony socialism while ignoring the cogent solutions found in an honest free enterprise system. “Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
9)Opportunities, as always, will continue growing in matching proportion to miseries and, as always, best reward independent risk takers of courage, character, and conscience. “There is far more opportunity than there is ability.” Thomas A. Edison
10) Faith, simplicity, gratitude, and friendship will continue quietly recapturing our attention. “Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.” Kahlil Gibran
