Speculators: "Sky's the limit!"

Lest we forget hundreds of thousands of homes going into bankruptcy – what happened?  Let’s take a look:

Jimmy Carter passed a law governing home sales making them available to people who couldn’t afford them.  Bill Clinton embellished it.  Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, and Chris Dodd refused to let the Bush administration make rule changes and oversee Freddie and Fannie.  That, initially, started the house of cards to implode.  No matter what, the Democratic congress have continued to remain in power for the last three years – the ones who caused this financial meltdown.  It all comes back to giving mortgages to people who couldn’t afford them, by the thousands.  The banks got overwhelmed, and then due to the Democrats actions the failures in businesses started.

Obama talks about what he inherited.  He doesn’t bring attention to who really caused it, the Democratic congress in power with the tactics they used while they had the power… and they still have that power.  What other harm will they cause?  Now they are offering a way to harm our military and the past administration by creating a furor over the interrogation techniques.  Does anyone remember the beheading of a journalist, four beheaded bodies hanging from a bridge, Saddam killing millions of his own citizens – using poison gas on old people, women, and children?  All these supposed tortures, if taken together, would not equal one-tenth the torture used by either one of Saddam’s two sons on anyone that crossed them.

The Democrats talk about Darfur and poor citizens being killed, and yet they scream about Bush freeing 50 millions Iraqis from death that could happen at any moment if they crossed either Saddam or his sons.  The Democratic liberals would allow the beheading of American soldiers, Saddam torturing and killing his own people – yet we may not use any form of interrogation and must justify the interrogation we do use, buy the lies of terrorists, as when the Taliban kills dozens of their own people and say we did it and the liberals buy their lies (lock, stock, and barrel).  As far as I am concerned, Bush’s legacy will be saving 50 millions people in Iraq, giving them freedom and saving 15 million lives from aids in Africa.  He was the most maligned President, while in office, ever and was the object of wrath by a slimy group of hate-mongers known as DEMOCRATS.  As far as I am concerned, they are as low as you can go.

The culture of corruption is alive and well in THIS administration, headed by none other than Private Jet (furnished by Air Force) Nancy Pelosi, on top of all her lying about the CIA to cover her a$$.  Then of course you have John Murtha, the master of all earmarks, making sure his family receives millions of dollars by his chicanery.  There is Harry Reid who has carried nepotism to it’s ninth degree by enhancing the fortunes of his family.  Dianne Feinstein, seeing to it that her husband gets millions of dollars in contracts.  Congressman John Dingell and his wife, a Washington Power Couple.  If a congressman pays for service from a prostitute, they are kicked out of office, but Barney Frank pays for a male prostitute and he is allowed to continue and be one of the major players in this financial meltdown of the country.

Cabinet appointees not having paid their taxes – all Democrats – no wonder they like to raise taxes.  Only Republicans have to pay them.  Tom Daschle, a Senator who was defeated, was to join the cabinet but owed over $100,000 in back taxes and so was turned down.  He immediately joined GE, the most corrupt corporation there is with ties and pull for and with this administration by use of its media arm.  Tom and his wife, a lobbyist, have taken great care to spread the wealth to other members of their family.  Dodd and Conrad, with their mortgage difficulties – William Jefferson, with his cold cash – Charlie Rangel, a crook and tax cheat – the list could go on, but why bother?  Ninety percent of the Democratic politicians are crooked and their constituents vote them back in, so who is to blame – the Democratic crooks or their constituents?

The SEC is allowing traders to manipulate the gas and oil prices, raising them even though there is an over-supply of both, and they are helping terrorist states by their actions.  Where are the demonstrators walking up and down in front of their houses as they did to Wall Street CEO’s?  Why hasn’t a list of them been sent out to the media with addresses given so their neighbors would know who they are and the terrorist countries can call them up and THANK them?

A question arises as to why CEO’s salaries should be subject to government intervention.  Why not movie stars – being subjected to salary caps?  Let’s say no more than $1,000,000 per picture and television series limited to $1,000 per episode… GO TO IT OBAMA!

I wonder if Obama asked David Axelrod to compare Miss California and a dog, or could it be that Perez Hilton may be Axelrod’s lover?  Don’t think this is very apropos for a high official in a Democratic administration.  The NPR Democratic party, I understand, roared with laughter as would NBC and MSNBC listeners.

Obama gives you a dime and takes a dollar!

I read where Gordon Brown is anxious to meet with Obama – says willing to make more tax cuts to help his economy – isn’t that the opposite of what Obama is doing?  CNN and TIME competing with the trash magazines – CNN investigates “how to get toned arms like Michelle Obama”; TIME investigates if the first family prefers Pepsi or Coke.  You can count on them for in-depth reporting.

If you notice, the Democrats didn’t mind Obama’s raising of taxes, as you can see when Obama chose his people.  The Democrats just don’t pay taxes!  Making Ethanol from corn was as I said it would be a year and a half ago – has damaged our economy quite extensively, made higher food costs for everyone by raising the price on feed for beef, pork, dairy cows, chickens, and many other things.  The nation could grow hemp which would yield MUCH more ethanol and not affect food prices.  This would make sense, but as you all know, our government leaders do not use sense.

Don't destroy food crops, use hemp for ethanol!

Was shocked to see Charlie Rangel on Bloomberg talking about Obama’s tax raising policy, even with all the taxes he owes.  If you notice, the ethics committee in the House doesn’t want to touch him even though they said they would have the most ethical Congress ever.  Nancy, what happened?  Or is it that it has been decided by this administration that Democrats don’t have to pay taxes?  I haven’t heard anyone talking about Eric Holder, who heads the Justice Department, hasn’t paid taxes on apartment free rent for over five years, as Daschle did over years of free car and driver.  Where is the transparency you promised Obama?  I can’t see through the glass – it’s dirty!

Many American citizens have been fooled by our new President.  They don’t realize that he gives a dime and takes a dollar.  The cost of energy that we will have to pay with this cap and trade will make many families unable to pay for heating and cooling.  He is all for higher gas taxes and costs.  He dreams of green energy even though to have enough to replace our present energy needs will be years down the road.  He wants to make oil so expensive that we will beg for green energy.  He doesn’t care if oil prices help our opponents, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela and makes the Saudis rich.

He’s going to give you $13 weekly.  When gas gets to be $3 or $4 a gallon, you people driving from 10-40 miles each way to keep working call up Obama and thank him for his stipend of $13 weekly.  He is such a BIG spender and a real philanthropist.

Frederick Nietze, a philosopher, believed that philanthropy was wrong as it allowed the weak to sponge off the strong.  He wouldn’t approve of Obama and would approve of the tea parties.  The European Union, even with the money injected into them by the International Monetary Fund, will have riots and extreme demonstrations because of their high unemployment and the decreases in their standard of living.  There is no way the US can contribute enough money to ward this off, and I think in our current circumstances we should stop our funding of the IMF and the United Nations.

The birth rate of arabs in the Palestinian areas far exceed that of the Jewish State of Israel and will, in time, be a population of 20 arabs to 1 Jewish person.  We and the British have, for years, had our soldiers training the Palestinians, and I think that was a SERIOUS mistake and this, in time, will cost many lives.  I don’t think we should help to rebuild Gaza.  That needs to be left to the many arab states that seem to have plenty of money to help TERRORIST organizations.

Always wondered about Washington state from all the things that I had heard about their laws and how liberal they are, and now I have heard something that turns me off completely.  A Democrat called Miloscia tried to place an 18 1/2 percent sales tax on sex toys, pornography, and adult magazines and there was an uproar.  He had to cancel the legislation.  Apparently they need to keep all their money for more of their sexual peccadilloes.

Our founding fathers offered their lives and fortunes in founding this country.  Many of them lost their fortunes.  Some lost their lives.  Some had their families slain by the royalists.  They gave us this country and it blossomed and grew and now Obama and his tax-cheating administration is very quickly destroying it and putting the Americans that are the results of that republic to have their lives and fortunes taken away.  Obama wants the upper income Americans to work hard and prosper and give the government their profits to give to his voters and their needs.  How long do you think that will continue?

Concerning the continuing controversy on the election for Senator in Minnesota between Al (bulldog face) Franken and Norm Coleman… still finding all kinds of fraud from votes in the trunk of a car, all for Franken, from re-counts with different procedures from county to county.  Reminds me of Washington state where a Democratic governor won after four questionable recounts.  Besides this, there will never be an honest election again unless ACORN is dismantled.  That is sad.

Interesting how Obama’s Justice Department puts out Bush memos trying to change the subject from what Obama is doing to the US economy.  His actions have put fear into the hearts of investors and pushed the DOW down to the level it was in 1997 when Clinton was President.  The stock market is down 50 percent from where it was in the year of 2007 when Bush was in office.  The meltdown caused by how Freddie and Fannie were run, and Chris Dodd had a big hand in this, and I would think if Michael Steele were doing his job, he would be lining up a good, very well vetted Republican to get this crook out of office.  I would also think he would be trying to get another election scheduled for the Minnesota Senate race.

I think that Steele should be lining up someone of character to run for ole Harry Reid’s seat.  I would rejoice if that were to succeed.  There is no possibility of having anyone defeat Nancy Pelosi or Barney Frank because their voters are completely biased, narrow minded, and… different from the thinking people in the rest of the country.  If only they loved America instead of themselves.

The mainstream media chattering classes have become unhinged after Rush Limbaugh’s speech at CPAC.  They are chattering about how this is bad for the Republican party.  I am very gratified by their concern for the Republican party.  I will say this to them – if you can’t be your own man, feel VERY ashamed.

Now another addition to the Obama administration involved in pay-for-play… his name is Adolfo Carrion – placed in a staff position not requiring Senate confirmation.  His title: White House Director of Urban Policy.  He is as big a crook as was Adam Clayton Powell.

From Shakespeare: “This foul deed shall smell above the earth with carrion men groaning for burial.”

If the government had given to the American people all the funds that have been spent on this stimulus, each person could have had over $50,000.  They then could have paid taxes on that and the government would have been much better off.  Within 20 years there would be the same amount of rich people and poor people.  As Jesus said, “The poor you will always have with you.”

Michael Steele, get with it!  I was for you to get that post at the start.  I now regret that.

Taking back our country starts HERE!

To get back to the global warming farce or scam being perpetrated on the American people – I think that besides being dead wrong, as most scientists have concluded, it is the biggest ripoff ever.  Bernie Madoff pales by comparison.  Gore’s backers and followers are one of the greatest burdens this country has.  The greenies and environmentalists that are part of Gore’s planet should all be tried for giving aid and comfort to foreign countries against their own country’s interest.  You ask what I mean, because they won’t allow drilling for oil in areas of this country that would fulfill our own needs and give us exports to other countries and keep oil prices low, thereby keeping gas prices low to enable people to commute to their jobs and have a little left over for other needs such as food, medicine, and possibly a little left over for recreation.

The greenies now are saying we should use re-usable toilet wipes – NO WAY!  They are also concerned about the sheep’s breath and the methane gas exhaled, concerned about cow dung and its danger to the planet, also pigs… dangerous to the planet.  Seems to me they must be planning on making us all vegetarians.  No thanks.  So again I say environmentalists, greenies, Gore, Democrats and Obama should be tried for attacks against their own country and aid to foreign governments such as Russia, Iran, and Venezuela.

Another thing of interest these days is the tea party protests going around the country.  I hope that it grows and spreads – the first act I have seen in years that encourages me about the future of this country.  It wasn’t only the tea party that had the colonists up in arms about taxes from mother country, it was the Stamp Act that started the tax uprisings.  See attached:

THE DECLARATION OF RIGHTS OF THE STAMP ACT CONGRESS

OCTOBER 19, 1765 ¹

[On the motion of James Otis, on June 8, the Massachusetts legislature sent a circular inviting all the colonies to send delegates to a congress at New York in October, 1765. Representatives from only nine colonies appeared. Virginia, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Georgia were not represented. The Congress agreed upon the Declaration of Rights reproduced here and, further, petitioned the king and Parliament. Because the credentials of certain delegates authorized them merely to consult and not to take action, the petition was signed by the members of only six colonies.]

---

Saturday, Oct. 19th, 1765, A.M. — The congress met according to adjournment, and resumed, etc., as yesterday; and upon mature deliberation, agreed to the following declaration of the rights and grievances of the colonists in America, which were ordered to be inserted.

DECLARATION OF RIGHTS

The members of this congress, sincerely devoted, with the warmest sentiments of affection and duty to His Majesty’s person and government, inviolably attached to the present happy establishment of the Protestant succession, and with minds deeply impressed by a sense of the present and impending misfortunes of the British colonies on this continent; having considered as maturely as time would permit, the circumstances of said colonies, esteem it our indispensable duty to make the following declarations, of our humble opinions, respecting the most essential rights and liberties of the colonists, and of the grievances under which they labor, by reason of several late acts of Parliament.

1st. That His Majesty’s subjects in these colonies owe the same allegiance to the crown of Great Britain that is owing from his subjects born within the realm, and all due subordination to that august body, the Parliament of Great Britain.

2d. That His Majesty’s liege subjects in these colonies are entitled to all the inherent rights and privileges of his natural born subjects within the kingdom of Great Britain.

3d. That it is inseparably essential to the freedom of a people, and the undoubted rights of Englishmen, that no taxes should be imposed on them, but with their own consent, given personally, or by their representatives.

4th. That the people of these colonies are not, and from their local circumstances cannot be, represented in the House of Commons in Great Britain.

5th. That the only representatives of the people of these colonies are persons chosen therein, by themselves; and that no taxes ever have been or can be constitutionally imposed on them but by their respective legislatures.

6th. That all supplies to the crown, being free gifts of the people, it is unreasonable and inconsistent with the principles and spirit of the British constitution for the people of Great Britain to grant to His Majesty the property of the colonists.

7th. That trial by jury is the inherent and invaluable right of every British subject in these colonies.

8th. That the late act of Parliament entitled, “An act for granting and applying certain stamp duties, and other duties in the British colonies and plantations in America, etc.,” by imposing taxes on the inhabitants of these colonies, and the said act, and several other acts, by extending the jurisdiction of the courts of admiralty beyond its ancient limits, have a manifest tendency to subvert the rights and liberties of the colonists.

9th. That the duties imposed by several late acts of Parliament, from the peculiar circumstances of these colonies, will be extremely burthensome and grievous, and, from the scarcity of specie, the payment of them absolutely impracticable.

10th. That as the profits of the trade of these colonies ultimately center in Great Britain, to pay for the manufactures which they are obliged to take from thence, they eventually contribute very largely to all supplies granted there to the crown.

11th. That the restrictions imposed by several late acts of Parliament on the trade of these colonies will render them unable to purchase the manufactures of Great Britain.

12th. That the increase, prosperity, and happiness of these colonies depend on the full and free enjoyment of their rights and liberties, and an intercourse, with Great Britain, mutually affectionate and advantageous.

13th. That it is the right of the British subjects in these colonies to petition the king or either house of Parliament.

Lastly, That it is the indispensable duty of these colonies to the best of sovereigns, to the mother-country, and to themselves, to endeavor, by a loyal and dutiful address to His Majesty, and humble application to both houses of Parliament, to procure the repeal of the act for granting and applying certain stamp duties, of all clauses of any other acts of Parliament whereby the jurisdiction of the admiralty is extended as aforesaid, and of the other late acts for the restriction of the American commerce.

I also want to ask that people that caused this financial meltdown be tried for crimes against The State, as follows:

• Jimmy Carter
• Bill Clinton
• Franklin Raines
• Jim Johnson
• Jamie Gorelick
• Barney Frank
• Chris Dodd
• Maxine Waters
• Richard Syron
• Daniel Mudd
• Timothy Howard
• and other un-knowns

The Charity Tax charged for people who contribute to charities won’t hurt Joe Biden – the giver

Wall Street

I would like to start this article with something of note.  During this time of uncertainty and Obama’s campaign putting out those dire predictions about the country and his view of it – here is a quote that is apropo for today as when it was spoken “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” ~ FDR

Obama, you just keep on hammering your defeatist attitude and your woebegone picture of America.  The only ones who will pay attention to this are those who want the government to care for them.  I hate to tell Obama this, but the majority of Americans want to take care of themselves.  Many of his supporters, and he himself, are practicing and are for class warfare.  How he can fool his supporters when he himself is a millionaire is beyond me.  I will say this – that the key to socialism is to keep all the people, except the elitist leaders who are to guide these common people for their own good, at a common level… somewhat similar to how the Democratic party has been to their supporters.  Think about it and the approach that the Democratic leaders have taken to lead their followers now and in the past – that has been similar to a kindly old slave holder and how he treats his own.

The Democrats have played on peoples’ greed and “what’s in it for me” to maintain their hold on certain segments of society.  The Democrats are very good on propaganda.  For instance – how in the world could a one term senator with no experience obtain the Democratic Presidential nomination – a senator who has spent most of his first term running for President – prior to that, the experience of a community organizer consisting of, in many cases, belonging to a “Get out the vote” organization called ACORN of which members have been prosecuted for voter fraud.  If I am not mistaken, Obama himself worked for ACORN as one of his community organizer duties.  Why an organization such as this gets government funding is reprehensible to me!

Now let’s get to the mainstream media members and how they have been approaching their perceived duty to destroy Sarah Palin, McCain’s pick for his running mate.  I watched Charlie Gibson’s interview with Sarah Palin.  There was no doubt he felt himself to be far above and superior to Sarah Palin.  His gotcha question with something he himself didn’t understand was unusually stupid, and he showed himself to be what he is – a Democratic hack with an agenda of his own.  If I were McCain or Sarah Palin, I would not go on any talk show on ABC, NBC, MSNBC, or CBS.  Even Fox’s Sunday evening show interviewer Chris Wallace is no doubt a Democrat and I wouldn’t even trust him.

Town Hall questions and answers system is the way they should go and speak to outline their proposals and ideas to run the country.  That should include ideas to keep socialism out of our government.  Also, put down those jet flying, carbon using environmentalists such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Albert Gore, and the other idiots.  Also put out forcibly how a billionaire named Soros is trying to buy the election.  I think this is one thing that should have been in the campaign finance reform package – to keep some millionaire from trying to buy the elections.  Frankly, George Soros has been, all his life, a leech sucking the life out of a free and thriving democracy.  When he dies, what will he leave behind but hate and treason?

The parasitic speculators were out to make money on other people’s misery, making money on raising prices of gas due to Hurricane Ike.  They are no different than the con artists out in force to defraud people during their period of pain and suffering.  Obama is also trying to obtain votes by playing on people’s needs and trying to use greed in his campaign.  He is also trying to use a time of upheaval in the stock market to scare people.  I don’t think people have developed and thrived on fear, but instead have thrived and developed this country on faith, hope, and courage to look ahead and place their lives and fortunes on their search for true freedom.

Not welcome in the Northeast

Obama has used negativism and fear to get where he is now, and I don’t think the majority of this country will continue to buy his brand of patriotism and leadership.  All of those colleges in the East and Northeast who will not allow ROTC programs on their campuses are socialistic and will never be counted on to serve their country, and they have no concern for the continuation of the greatest Democracy ever on the face of the globe.  As you can see, they are in the states that go Democratic in just about every election and would undoubtedly be all for socialism, where the elite would be the leaders and would make sure no spark of leadership and ingenuity could emanate from all those common people and they could maintain their superiority.

I will close this section with this: I still have faith and confidence in the majority of the American people and I feel sorry for the minority who are defeatists and scared for their futures.

How is it that Charlie Rangel, Chris Dodd, and Kent Conrad don’t get tagged as crooks as the Republicans would be if they did the same thing?  Obama brings up McCain getting special interest money when he is actually the receiver of much more special interest money, such as the $116,000 he received from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, whose downfall started this whole humpty dumpty effect on Wall Street.  Three of Bill Clinton’s former advisers milked millions from these same companies when Clinton appointed them to work at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  Not only that, but Obama received the most money for his campaign from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, second only to Chris Dodd, who also received benefits as did Kent Conrad from CountryWide, another one of the supports taken out of the supports for Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, AIG, and also Fannie and Freddie.  And YET Obama has the audacity to blame McCain.  I guess he thinks Americans are too stupid to ferret this out.  Don’t forget he told his elitist friends in San Francisco how stupid the people of Pennsylvania were, and we all know how stupid the elitists in California are!

May God continue to bless the USA and save us from Barack Hussein Obama!
