I Have a Dream - Martin Luther King Jr.

August 28th, 2010 · No Comments

Speech delivered August 28, 1963 on the steps of Lincoln Memorial.

No Comments Needed.  It speaks for itself.

Exerpted from the speech:

Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

To Buy a GM Car Again? Not!!

August 8th, 2010 · No Comments

I was looking into buying a GM car as my next purchase.  That thought is now gone out the door.

GM, which is government (taxpayer) owned, is now contributing to Congressional Black Caucus.  Racial politics at it’s worst.

If they really wanted to do something with our money, why don’t they setup a inner city college scholarship fund for needy kids aspiring to go to a university.

Wealth redistribution in America by Obama

May 26th, 2010 · No Comments

income chart2.jpg Wealth redistribution in full force now with Obama socialism plan taking shape.  Look at the huge uptick in Government benefits and the downtick in private income.  This cannot continue without destruction of the American economy as we know it.  Major signs are already here.  Federal debt levels are at astronomical levels.  It just hit $13T that’s Trillion.  Interest alone is now a huge percentage of the budget now.

India with More Cell Phones than Toilets?

April 20th, 2010 · No Comments

India Phone over toilet.jpg Well, looks like another story to highlight the corruption in India.  With a funny twist.  Homeless sadhu with no clothes, but still in contact with other sadhus using latest cell phone.   India, now being one of the richest nations, does not have enough public toilets.  The government is as corrupt is as they come.  All this in broad daylight.  They don’t even bother to hide it.  No-one goes to jail for corruption.  Bribery is the way of life, from top to the bottom.

Goldman Sachs Being Sued for Fraud

This should not be a surprise to anyone that reads this blog.  In fact, this is only the tip of the iceberg.  This is probably what they could find.   I’m sure there is much more that is hidden and buried that will never come out.

National Health Care System Coming

March 22nd, 2010 · No Comments

health-care-rationing.jpg Well, here we go.  On our way to nationalized health care system.

Anyone been to a county hospital?  Mediocre service and support.  In order to make ourselves feel good about covering everyone, we’re gonna lower the standard for most.

Meanwhile taxes will be going through the roof.  I can smell a VAT already, like the British.

How far will we go?  A nanny state is in order here.  Welfare for everyone.

Constituion out the Door

March 15th, 2010 · No Comments

Constituition out the door.gif This is really amazing.  Dems actually bypassing the constituion with the Slaughter Soluton!

Mark Tapscott at the Examiner:

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives have never before been asked to pass legislation by “deeming” it approved under a House rule instead of following the process required by the U.S. Constitution in which they actually vote on the proposal itself, according to a senior aide to House Republicans.

The procedure – dubbed by critics as the “Slaughter Solution” – is the brain-child of House Rules Committee Chairman Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-NY, who, at the request of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, is trying to fashion a rule that would allow the House to move toward passage of a health care reform bill without a recorded vote on the Senate version.

Like the Senate, which adopted its health care reform measure on Christmas Eve, the House passed its version last year. But there are major differences between the two measures, especially concerning federal funding of abortions. The Senate version includes billions of dollars to fund new health care clinics that would offer abortion services. The House bill was passed only after Rep. Bart Stupak’s amendment barring federal funding for the procedure was included.

Slaughter’s approach would bring to the House floor a reconciliation bill to resolve differences between the House and Senate versions of health care reform with the rule deeming the House to have approved the Senate version. The GOP aide, who requested anonymity, said a search of the House archives failed to reveal any previous use of the Slaughter Solution.

Economy Near Depression Levels

Economy is near depression levels but you wouldn’t know it from looking at the stock market.  Obama’s stimulus has not worked, the worst has just been postponed and the real data has been well hidden.

Welfare Fraud - Free phones for those on the roll

July 15th, 2009 · No Comments

Free phones for those on the welfare roll.  More of your hard earned tax dollars going to work.  Here I am trying to cut down on my own cell phone bill.  And then I see that my tax dollars are going to be subsidizing phones for those on welfare.   The more I learn, the more I’m not amazed.

Goldman Sachs - The Great American Bubble Machine

July 13th, 2009 · 3 Comments

Goldman Bubble Fraud.jpg The more I observe the financial markets, the more I learn of the fraud.   The fleecing of Americans is mostly done by politicians, but, a big player has been Wall Street.  At the center of this is the behemoth Goldman Sachs.

Now, most of my observations are documented here in this article by Matt Taibbi.  He really spells out the history of Goldman.   Many of the recent bubbles, I have already observed to be engineered by the Goldman and company on Wall Street.  But it’s worth the read for the rest of the story.

Big government spending is not working the way Obama promised.  Oops.  Who would have thunk.  Fed printing money is going to choke off the recovery.  High rates and high inflation on its way.  Remember the 70s?

Mortgage Payment or an IPhone?

November 2nd, 2008 · 1 Comment

iphone.jpgWow.  If you read the news lately, many can’t afford to make the new mortgage payments.  Foreclosures have increased ten fold.  But hey, they are still buying the IPhone.  Here is the latest news

Where’s my bailout?  Time to go look for that mansion and finance 100%.  Then stop making the payments.  Hopefully my bailout will be soon forthcoming.

Now McCain wants another morgtage bailout

October 8th, 2008 · 5 Comments

This is unbelievable.  Let’s just reward people that made questionable decisions.   Not saying all foreclosures are from bad people, but hey, maybe I should have bought a mansion too, so I could get bailed out by McCain.

But no.  In this case, I’m going to bail out someone else who bought that mansion.

The Republican party has just now destroyed what little credibility that it had.  It’s socialism for all.

Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending - in 1990s

October 1st, 2008 · 1 Comment

Read it and weep.  Story from NY Times in 1999. 

Now we all are paying the price for lax lending practices.  All corrupt from top to bottom.  Clinton’s idea of trying to help the needy is to just give them money.  Now it has all come crashing down.

Bailout Palooza

September 26th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Everyone’s got their hand out.  Now McCan and Obama are trying to work out a deal for the Dems and the GOP.  This is the most riduculous thing I’v seen in my lifetime.  And George Bush had the gall to actually say “I believe in the free market”, meanwhile, they’re all trying to bail out their Wall Street cronies. 

 Michelle has the pay by pay.  http://michellemalkin.com/2008/09/25/kill-the-bailout-call-your-gop-representative/

Let’s see what happens. 

Well, time to go call capital, and your senators.   Please call the Capitol Hill Switchboard:

McCain - To Support or Not

February 9th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Now that Romney has dropped out, Mccain has all but wrapped up the Republican nomination.  The questions many conservatives are asking is “do I support McCain, or stay home?”

An interesting fight has broke out.  Many conservative talk radio pundits are not supporting McCain ouright.  People like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingrahm are speaking out against McCain.  Bloggers and writers like Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter are also writing against McCain and his liberal record.  This is becomming very interesting.  We haven’t had a fight like this in the Republican party  for a while.  At least I don’t remember it in my generation.  I don’t follow Ann as much any more ever since she called John Edwards “gay”, but she still carries a lot of weight in the conservative circles.  She has gone as far as to say that she’ll vote for Hillary over McCain.

To be honest, I haven’t made up my mind yet either.
