thanks for the heads up on this.. looks like a LOT of good info .
BTTT
I believe that, if the voting public were to get wind of his connections to the debacle, he would be defeated soundly. You know, the old 'It's the economy, stupid!' thing.
Even if Obama himself wasn't directly connected to the debacle, an organization with which he has very strong ties was. And the results of their efforts are going to affect us, our children and our grandchildren for generations to come. With the death of Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch (and more to come), this economy hasn't begun to feel the effects of the schemers' manipulations.

Top notch research, Joanie!
They still believe, despite all evidence to the contrary, in the marxist method. They believe in it not because they (outside of their useful idiots) think for an instant that it will help the people or the nation, the believe in it becuase they crave and lust after power and control and know that if they can usher in such a system on the ashes of our free market, that they will be in charge...and that is what they want above all else.
Barack Hussein Obama and his ilk (and he has been created by big money interests that are not representative of the best interests of this nation) are enemies to the American way of life, our foundational moral principles, our economic system, the defense of this nation and its national interests, our juris prudence, our spiritual roots and values, and, in short our very liberty, pursuit of happoiness, and lifes and those of our children and grand-children.
He has stated that our religious values must be comprimised in the public areana, he has stated that captialism is a failed system, that our defenses must be drastically cut...he has made clear what he intends on numerous occassions.
It is up to us to spread the knoweldge and Audacity of Truth about this man and those who back him.
As Patrick Henry stated, and that truth has not dimmed since the 17700s...there is a just God in Heaven and we will not fight our battles alone (if we will just have the gumption to stand and fight) and that He will raise up friends to fight with and for us.
I believe with all my heart that Sarah Palin is one suchg "friend". and that we can achieve victory over this Obamanation and those who support it and would foist it on us.
All on my Ping list: Please read this vital information that Joanie haas articulate dhere and spread the word to all you know.
****It was the regulators, not the banks, who relaxed these standards - at the behest of ‘community organizers’ and ‘progressive’ political activists.****
Progressive political activists like George W. Bush.
All that remains for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. Of course when the so called good guys are taking earmarks like popcorn and their relatives are all lobbyists and many of them are outright thieves .... well then you are really in the $hitter.
We have the government we deserve.
Revolution or secession. Choose.
“It was the regulators, not the banks, who relaxed these standards”
Apparently you don’t realize that the 11 member banks are the majority vote on the Federal Reserve.
Well said, as always, Jeff.
Since the announcement of Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate, I have been angered most by some conservatives' nit-picking about several things they believe are lacking in her (chief among them, 'experience').
I won't go into my arguments against those comments (I'm about worn out in that regard), but, bottom line, I believe this may well be our last chance to reclaim our republic. We cannot survive even four years of 'leadership' under the likes of Barack Obama.
And for 'conservatives' to hesitate about supporting this ticket is suicidal, for our party (or what's left of it), our republic, and (literally) our children.
Thank you, as always, for all that you do in your crusade to expose the liars and make the truth known.
Blessings to you and your family, dear FRiend ...

Sadly enough, at the cost of millions of lives (not to mention billions of dollars).

Did you read the entire article? --about the pressure that was brought to bear by special interests and pols? And certainly the banks had something to gain from this too, but that wasn't the main contributor to the mess.
Nice work, Joanie.
We must put yet another attempt down at the ballot box...while we still can.
Thanks for the ping!
The banks are the ones that voted for the rule changes in the banking regs.
Without the loosened regulations it never would have happened no matter how much the government socialists wanted it.
The back story on this --the PACs, the Lobbyists, Ike's 'Military-Industrial Complex', and most other nefarious group involvements with our government and especially Congress, is the illegal and non-legal and non-binding statement added to a case, where the Court Reporter noted in the First Sentence of the Syllabus:
He adapted that from the following, which was not in the Decision made by the Court, but in instructions given to the parties prior to the Oral Argument and Legal Presentations before the bench:
Reference: SANTA CLARA COUNTY V. SOUTHERN PACIFIC R. CO., 118 U. S. 394 (1886) - United States Supreme Court
I'm fairly certain that all cases before any Court have detailed commentary providing for limitation of the arguments to be presented, to ensure that the specific details are presented in a comprehensive, cogent, manner, and to prevent moving too far afield in the legal precepts necessary for the case at hand.
Lesser Courts and the USSC itself have used that illegal statement to run roughshod over the restrictions in the Constitution, thereby allowing the debacles we find ourselves in today.
Neither the USSC nor Congress has any intention of revising this illegal record, making this government illegal.
I share your belief that we need a revolution, and we will not have one (not enough of us care enough to 'get involved', even in something much less demanding).
So many of my conservative friends are of the mind that, once a sufficient number of people's oxes are gored, we will all rise up in defense of our liberties. But the ignorance and apathy run so deep that I believe the average American would prefer to relinquish liberties rather than lose his television reception.
Thank you for the little-known, yet extraordinarily important, information. I have it saved for future reference.

Excellent as usual! Thank you!
Take a step back, and what you see is that Marxism - or any other totalist worldview - is nothing more than a vehicle for the exercise of absolute power.
Folks, history - particularly that of the last century - is all too clear as to the outcomes produced by those who do manage to acquire total control over the apparatus of the State. You know what I’m talking about.
The Gramscian praxis - chaos and conquer - is playing out before our eyes. The Obama-worshippers have no idea what they are ushering into being. They’re the merely ignorant. The ones who DO know what they’re doing - they are sociopaths at best and unempowered mass murderers looking for their big break at worst.
So what are we to do when it all comes down and the Man On The White Horse rides in to ‘save’ us all? How can we prevent this and in so doing alter the course of history? We do know that individuals can and have determined the flow of history. Where is the inflection point? Where d owe apply the lever? When do we shrug?
And how dearly will we sell our lives?
I had heard that the changing standards in the mortgage industry (Congressional implications, there) had occurred, and figured the Section 8 housing had something to do with it (iirc, under Cisneros during the Clinton Administration). I was not aware of the A.C.O.R.N. connection to that change, but that ties Obambam back into the matrix pretty thoroughly.
If the numbers I have heard are anywhere close, the bailout puts my family on the hook for multiples of our current debt, while we live well within our means and frugally, so others could live well beyond their means and live it up.
If Americans really understood how thoroughly they have been screwed, the roads to Washington D.C. would be jammed with people looking to adorn the lamp posts with swinging bureaucrats and Congress people.
The media have no intention of reporting this connection between a group in which Obama has been extremely active, and in which he wields significant power, and the incredible social and economic burden that will result for not only our generation, but the next. These people have also indirectly placed our national security in jeopardy.
Yet even 'fair and balanced' FoxNews still busies itself with fluff stories, or at most stories that are significantly less relevant than this historically unprecedented betrayal of the public trust.
Thank God for the internet. At least this way we can attempt to inform those who are willing to expend more effort than sitting in front of their televisions in order to know the truth (I estimate that portion of the population to be approximately two percent).
If Americans really understood how thoroughly they have been screwed, the roads to Washington D.C. would be jammed with people looking to adorn the lamp posts with swinging bureaucrats and Congress people.
The only reason the majority of Americans might react in that way would be because this particular affront hits them in the pocketbook. It reverts to the old 'It's the economy, stupid!' mindset. Which, in this case, is valid, but I have always cringed at that concept. There are many more blatant usurpations of power over which we should be revolting that are far more egregious than those that hit us in the pocketbook. But if that's what it would take for the lamp post/swinging thing to occur, so be it. Wrong reason, right reaction.
