Which is Most Likely to Happen in the Next 50 Years?

[Sheik Yerbouti]

What about first Jewish or Buddhist or Native American president?

 

[GTaudiophile]

I see Female or Hispanic happening before gay or (openly) atheist. Then again, either could have happened already in a non-open way.

 

[piasabird]

Go Palin Go!
First Female President.

Democrats had a chance to nominate Hillary.

It would even be better if Palin and Hillary were both nominated to run against each other.

 

[Jaskalas]

Go Palin Go!
First Female President.

Democrats had a chance to nominate Hillary.

It would even be better if Palin and Hillary were both nominated to run against each other.

Palin is campaigning for McCain, as such I will never vote for her.

 

[Fear No Evil]

Its clear the Democrat Party has no interest in a female President.

 

[IGBT]

Its clear the Democrat Party has no interest in a female President.

no doubt. but watch what happens when a post op. transvestite runs.

 

[jhu]

Canada becomes the 51st state.

 

[MotF Bane]

Go Palin Go!
First Female President.

Yeah, that's such a great option.

 

[Matthiasa]

Yeah, that's such a great option.

Whoever wins the nation loses.
But wait, that already happens.

 

[Munky]

Another "the ice age is coming" global cooling scare.

 

[WHAMPOM]

We witnessed a great day in our Nation's history with the first black President. Which got me thinking if we're likely to see another historic event like that anytime again in the near future.

Thoughts?

The Time Of The Prophet. (Christian Taliban takes over US) Heinlein??

 

[jhu]

Global darkening with half the population say it's going on and the other half denying it.

 

[sandorski]

USA becomes the 4th Territory.

Fixed for accuracy

 

[JEDIYoda]

If Liberals have their way, the continued pussification of America.

If conservatives have their way they will destroy the United states of America from the inside out!! Just like Bush was doing.....

 

[BudAshes]

If Liberals have their way, the continued pussification of America.

Yeah, you tell em bubba.

 

[daniel49]

Fixed for accuracy

us and canada become one caliphate under sharia law....ruled over by the chief caliph Barrack Hussien Obama.

 

[cubby1223]

Next 50 years? It'll be just 3 years we'll have our first female president!

 

[IGBT]

If conservatives have their way they will destroy the United states of America from the inside out!! Just like Bush was doing.....

and your obama is continuing.

Wouldn't it make sense to get over voting by race and avoid a lot of trouble? Lets just elect a handicapped black/asain lesbian cross dressing dwarf and get over all the "we're such fucking color blind progressive thinking all around swell white people" bullshit at once.
I'm tired of the race obsession, I'm tired of everyone having to define themselves as belonging to some lame ass group or another. And I'm really tired of all those little groups telling me how I owe them something because they decided to call them selves victims.

 

[Steeplerot]

$5 milk!

or was it $7 milk? I can't remember.....

You and Dave should just get a room already.

 

[Siddhartha]

In the next fifty years, all of the options could and will happen

Greenman for president!!!!

 

[Anarchist420]

Obama is only 1/2 back so there is still the possibility of a first black President.

Not that it matters....but I suppose it is like Kennedy being the first Catholic President....it is a milestone that shouldn't really matter.

I agree 100% that it doesn't matter.
Warren G. Harding may have been black. Hell, if the theory of evolution is true, we're all a little black. It's ridiculous how people consider the first black president a milestone, if he even is the first black.

Hispanic, female & Asian Presidents seem like a given to me.

Could've easily have had a woman (HRC) last election. And we've had legit candidates that were Hispanic (Richardson).

Gay? Some claim Lincoln was gay. I'd be surprised if some Presidents weren't Bi.

Fern

James Buchanan was gay.

The realization that if a black man can become president, affirmative action isn't needed?

Or, we'll see the collapse of the USA as a country, to be reformed as a much looser confederation.

I would love to go back to the AoC.

Within 5 0years? The country self-implodes after a couple more massive boom-bust economic cycles, with the global economy hot on our heels, leading to massive civil disturbances and the emergence of a leader who will try to unite the world, with massive world wars to follow.

That's the most likely.

The TEA Party will rise to power and dismantle our nation, piece by piece. This will be followed by an era of post-apocalyptic anarchy.

Anarchy is good, it's not chaos. Big government is chaos.

What about first Jewish or Buddhist or Native American president?

Silent Cal was part Native American.

Wouldn't it make sense to get over voting by race and avoid a lot of trouble? Lets just elect a handicapped black/asain lesbian cross dressing dwarf and get over all the "we're such fucking color blind progressive thinking all around swell white people" bullshit at once.

I'm pretty damn sick of it too

I know many of you who posted "the sky is falling!"-type of scenarios were joking or being facetious, but in case I totally misread it and you weren't joking.. please consider the following:

Predictions of mass gloom and doom are frequent, and have been throughout all of human history. Instances where such have actually occurred are many times far less frequent, and in almost all of those situations there was no one sounding the alarm. The moral of the story: don't be truly concerned when everyone else is, be truly worried when everyone else isn't.

i wish first asian president
