Free Republic

Now,that is just vicious! Here he is, the lost one, trying to connect with the masses, and maybe with his own rootless past,and everyone is piling on. God, you would think he was a Republican.

Realistically, none of this would matter, even if it were true. The media have all received their invitations to the coronation. Please note that Hillary’s name has been crossed out and Osama’s put in its place on a peel and stick label. This is in the interest of saving money as an example of the economic measures the Dems will put in place once in power. I wish them all the best, and the worst of what will happen, and very soon!

You need to get hold of the nice folks at ACORN, and they will give your mortgage holder what-for and literally force him to give you whatever you want. It is done all the time in Chicago, and Osama was an instructor for these activists.

Yes, I watched the debate, and heard that proposal on letting judges decide how much you still owe. Amazing. I think it would generate a lot of countersuits by the mortgage holders. Someone will get rich representing these people.....lawyers.

Isn't it amazing that we find ourselves in such a mess? Not really. When we stopped producing stuff to sell to our own customers and to the rest of the world, we started looking around for other ways to increase our wealth. First, our corporations looked outside the United States for cheaper labor, then the government eased up on trade restrictions to ‘help’ our international neighbors. So, we lost jobs, lowered the average income in this country, and tried to patch things up by lowering the interest rates to encourage growth after we had closed the plants and moved them overseas. We got into consumerism, buying everything in sight that we wanted, regardless of ability to repay, and our financial wizards gave us unlimited credit. Next, the real estate industry jumped in with all sorts of financial incentives, making it easy for anyone to own a home they could not afford. Now, inflate the prices on real estate because everyone was eligible to buy, and make a killing. Then, sell all these worthless pieces of paper to anyone who thought they had value and would increase in value. The buyers were not amateurs, they were speculators, believing that the government was ‘insuring’ these instruments. Just look at home values in the major cities. An absolute joke! Houses built in the 50’s that needed everything selling for $350,000. And young people grabbing them up. Foreclosures are happening at over a thousand a day, and values have plummeted. Yep, the real estate market was the vehicle to get rich. Looks like the home building industry is in the tank, and there are lots of homes on the market. If you have saved, it is a great time to buy a house at a reasonable price, even to speculate. And yes, there are loans to be had, if you have good credit. Of course, without jobs for the working class people, this is not great news. We have to get a handle on the trade issues, and back away from the liberal policies that have dried up our economy. I am for trade; fair trade, dollar for dollar trade. Why should we Americans have to buy Japanese cars and Chinese merchandise? Well, for one thing, we don't make that stuff anymore, and what we do produce is higher priced. We simply can't compete against poorer economies. Our political system and our business system is in terrible disarray, and it is foolish to point the finger of blame at anyone. It is a collective disaster, and we all share in it. Our first priority is to reform the political system. Nothing will change until we face reality.

I am sick of the ‘oil crisis’ whang, and think the election is, or should be, more about who we are sending back to congress to represent us. I would like to see a list of these losers who have voted for all this nonsense of taking good food and trying to make alcohol out of it. We all know that it is costing more to produce this junk than it is selling for, and we as taxpayers are subsidising it. C’mon, somebody has this voting info, and we deserve to see it posted for every state so that we can vote these bastards out. I have had it!

Jimmy Carter was quoted the other day, and referred to Obama as a ‘black boy’, that he was impressed that a black person had gotten so far as being nominated to run for president. Wonder why more of the news media did not pick up on this? The usually give Jimmy Carter top billing, and anything he says gets plenty of exposure. An oversight?

Welcome to ‘indifferent America’. Our population is so dumbed-down that many will not even be able to read the ballot, let alone pull the right lever. You would be amazed to find how few people even watch the news anymore.

When elections are run like ‘American Idol’, what do you expect? How could these two buffoons walk right over all the other candidates who at least may have been qualified to run?

I could not agree more! If anything has to change in this country, it is the ‘education system’. That lousy 9% the Feds spend on ‘local education’ has caused more damage that anything imaginable. Just look at all the requirements and mandatory rules they have set up. I would like one state to start the ball rolling and tell the Feds to stick their money up where the sun don’t shine. I am sure some of the states could do it with no great loss in what they already provide for their own education system. Sure,it will take some adjusting, and I don’t mean in free breakfasts and lunches. We need to test teachers for competency. If we can pre-test students to see if they can do college work, then we sure as Hell can put together a general education test, and a test for the specialty the teacher claims. If they don’t have a grasp of the material they are supposed to pass on to students, what the heck are they doing there? Our colleges have let the graduates down, and the teachers let the kids down daily. If a child cannot learn to read and comprehend, learn basic math, and for God’s sake, know the King’s English to a reasonable degree, how can they progress, let alone be prepared for a job in the real world? Science and technology are still specializations, and those so inclined can pursue these paths, once they learn the basics. If we don’t spend the time to educate our children about this young country they will be lost and will never comprehend how we fit in this world. We have so much going for us and it is not to be taken for granted. This gravitation toward the government doing everything for everyone is pulling us down faster than we can resist it, and without individuals that can think for themselves, what are our prospects?

Hey, we need to educate people about democracy;, and what better way than giving our youth a look at how the rest of the country works. I think most people do not appreciate the amount of isolation these kids experience in a predominately black community. They are getting a skewed education where they live, and are ill-prepared to step out of that environment and into the real America. Little wonder we are suffering the high dropout rates and prisons full of young people. It isn’t just Gary, Indiana. Any large city with concentrations of any ethnic group suffer similarly. The problems have not gone away, and no amount of money thrown in that direction will help. We realize that,and do not do anything about it. A start would be to vote the political hacks out of office. You can paint over the stripe on a skunk, but the smell will not go away.

No sense in getting picky about spelling when it comes to this jerk. Most of the names I use for him are not for publication, and are very offensive. BUT...If we let Jesse Jackson go everywhere representing us, why not allow a former president to make a further ass of himself?

New project for America. To Hell with the infrastructer problems, let’s clean up our major cities, bulldoze the ghettos, hire all these jobless, uneducated losers for the stoop labor they might be capable of, and get on with things. The alternative choice for these people is military service, which would involve a real education for the first couple years, then military training. Those incarcerated for minor crimes should have an opportunity to change their lives. Surprisingly, it would cost less in real dollars. Since the serious welfare state began in 1964 with the signing of legislation to help the blacks like we helped the Indians, this has all been downhill. We haven’t learned a damn thing, and we might elect a new leader to continue down this path. If ever there was a wake-up call, it is so loud, it is deafening! I still believe there is some leadership in this country, and what is holding them back is the biggest mystery of all. You could take any CEO from the top 500 corporations in this country and they could do a better job. Same goes for governors and mayors of large cities. So, what is the problem? The mob thinks it knows best.

Hey, were all you blasted yesterday and forgot to turn on Rush? He got taken by a gal who called in to say that her daughter saw our boy on TV, and blurted out ‘Curious George’ Well, this got past Rush, and he aired it, saying he never heard of Curious George, and could not make the connection. When his staff informed him that little George was a cartoon monkey, all Hell broke loose and the apologies by the Great Man flowed like molasses for the longest time. Either he had been had, or his laugh early on tipped his hand. Pass this one on if you dare. It sure made my day, and I am sure the closet bigots pissed their pants from laughing so hard.

I guess I am a ‘radical’ by most standards when it comes to simplistic solutions to problems that won’t go away. If, and when, we manage to out- bullshit the radical muslims at their own game, and talk some of their youngest and brightest into removing the dim-bulb religious zealots from controlling their countries, we will see major changes. Only radical changes make any difference in human history. Like snakes, the only way to kill these people is to cut off their heads, and exile is not an option. That loon Mutaqua who claims to be a direct descendant of the big guy is amazingly still alive, and recently pronounced another ‘cease fire’ to gather more support for his operation. What crap! I suppose our diplomats promptly begged to kiss his ass in thanks. We have idiots for leaders. The only way to deal with primitive is to convince them they are going to be annihilated by taking major moves in that direction. Hey, if you think you can talk to people who fly airplanes into buildings at the blessing of their spiritual leaders and get funding with oil money by the biggest, richest families in that part of the world, you are completely out of touch with reality. We have more than enough special ops people to get this started. We just need to take off the gloves and level the playing field. We need to show our true colors, as they have been described to a pack of ignorant primitives who believe the fourth century never went away.

Well, for one thing, her lips were moving,and when that happens with all dumbocrats, they are lying. She is in the same big pocket as the rest of the scum in Washington. She has been bought and paid for, and she was made speaker by these same loons because she is totally impotent. Do you ever try to listen to her on the rare occasions that she comes out of her hole to say anything?
Same goes for her companion in the Senate, Harry Reid and his sons the lobbyists. Nothing will change with these people sitting in the catbird seats.

Now, let’s talk a little about the Futures market and oil being used as a speculative tool by the money whores. Here is a bunch of people who have no interest in the impact it has on this country or its economy. This horserace track bets on things going up because of smaller players trying to follow the smart money to the edge of cliff. When will this ‘government’ realize that necessities should not be on the futures market? Here’s what I would do in my one term as President: I would freeze all the holdings in oil futures for say, six months. During that time, no money could be moved out of those accounts, and hopefully, a few of these bastards would start jumping out of windows. Leadership is a meaningless word these days, and there is none in Washington and has not been for years.

You will wear yourself out trying to figure out what a candidate says, what they truly believe, and what they will do if they win the office. It is hard to read people by watching their performances on radio and television. As to the belief systems that reside between their ears, just drop it. Don’t waste time on non-issues. This country’s defense, immigration and our economy and OUR well-being is what it’s all about. Take Bush, please! Ok, he is not articulate, not eloquent, but most people think he is real and what you see is what you get. I haven’t spent much time thinking about his professions of being ‘born again’. Hey, so was Jimah Catah, but it had no effect on his presidential performance. I really don’t give a damn what kind of underwear a candidate wears, or none at all. It matters little.

Why oh why do we give this poor, misguided fool any press time at all? He is playing the ‘blame game’ and we are falling for it. It really isn’t our fault that the ‘cradle of civilization’ has turned into a cesspool. It is due the the value system, and dare I say the belief system, of so many in that part of the world. An unbelieveable amount of wealth has been generated in that part of the world for generations now, yet they suffer at the hands of a few feudal lords who hold the wealth and power and support the ‘religious leaders’ all the while holding the people down. Our interventions, and those of our ‘allies’ over the years have had no positive results. The elite over there sent their offspring to our colleges and universities, only to submerge them in Western culture. If you look at the ‘brain pool’ of all the terrorist leaders, you will find educated people who are conflicted, yet still hold beliefs about the ‘old ways’. ; Of course, their sponsors are interested mainly in maintaining the status quo. Being off balance, it is easier to blame the ‘infidels’ for what is wrong with their world. Will the lights ever come on in their heads?

All wrong! Congress needs to resign and go home. A big waste of time and money. All these sons-of-bitches that claim to represent us are up there are representing themselves. I think a sizeable portion of the population knows this, but so far nothing has changed. Our current president continues to veto anything put in front of him to sign because it is full of pork, and we got lied to again by the late Nancy Pelosi and her handlers. Her lips were moving when she said she would make things more transparent and we would find the money to fund any new programs. Hey folks, they are looking in our pockets for what they need. We could leave them up there if they agree to lobotomies. That way, we would at least have the appearance of two roomfuls of idiots.

Wait a minute, are you telling me that a dog wrote all this crap about global warming?
