Is It Time To Start the Conservative Party?

Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” —Ronald Reagan

There are no longer sharp dividing lines between the Republican and Democrat parties in the USA Congress.Or for that matter in all levels of politics.
What we have is "Rinos"(Republicans in name only) from states where real Conservatives cannot win elections, but Democrats have historically been out of favor.
Then we have here in the South, where voters no mater how conservative they are, remember that Lincoln was the first Republican President, and vote Democrat no matter who runs. The South is also well known for "Blue Dog" Democrats, and fiscal Conservatives who run as Democrats only because very few would vote Republican.

It is past time for the Conservative Party to be formed.The dividing line between Liberals and Conservatives has been drawn in the sand. Those who believe in cradle to grave government control are on one side, and those who believe in the individual right to succeed and excel are dependent upon himself or herself is one of the dividing lines.
The other main division is the sanctity of life from conception to natural death. The Conservatives advocate this position, whereas the Liberals believe the State should allow partial birth abortion and Euthanasia.

There are many other defining positions that separate a Conservative from a Liberal. Core conservative principles include outspoken belief in God and country, and many U.S. conservatives support a fiscal policy rooted in small government, laissez faire capitalism, and supply-side economics. In foreign policy, American conservatives usually advocate "American exceptionalism," a belief that the U.S. is unique among nations and that its standing and actions do and should guide the course of world history. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, American conservatives have been the driving force behind increased U.S. military power.
Liberals think of us as people whu grasp their guns and bibles! I do not think this is a bad thing!


In the USA today, social liberalism combines support for government social programs, progressive taxation, and moderate Keynesianism with a broad concept of rights, which today includes a right to education and health care. However, this is by no means the only contemporary American political current that draws heavily on the liberal tradition.

So you can see there is a definite division between the two political philosophy's. Thus, I believe the need for a new Conservative party! And Ron Paul would be a great candidate!Paul is a member of the Liberty Caucus of Republican congressmen which aims to limit the size and scope of the federal government, just what the doctor ordered!

MAKING HIS MENTORS AND FRIENDS PROUD

President B.Hussein Obama in his first forty days in office has made the greatest shift to the left in OUR government that any President in History has made. Even FDR did not make such a rapid shift to the left!
His spendulus effort has committed the American taxpayer to trillions of dollars for programs that most conservative economists believe will do absolutely nothing to raise our economy out of it's doldrums, but will make a giant step toward socializing our Country.

The history of Obama's formative years contain the names of anarchists, Communists and just plain America haters. To name just a few, we have alleged mentors Frank Marshall Davis, Rev.Jeremiah Wright and Weatherman and bomber William Ayers, and Leftist colleagues in the Democrat Party, the Socialist New Party, the ACORN crowd, Rod Blagojevich, Richard Daley, Saul Alinsky, Father Michael Pfleger, Khalid al-Mansour, Kwame Kilpatrick, Louis Farrakhan, Rashid Khalidi and Raila Odinga. I am sure they would say to BHO, "just keep up the good work"!

For most of my adult years I have been aware of the disdain that Labor has for most management, but never before has a President and his "henchmen" tried so hard to divide Americans into the Rich versus the Poor. Class hatred has become an art form in the Obama administration. All the while he and his cronies party on each Wednesday in the White House with selected guests and celebrities, all at taxpayers expense! While the Dow is in a free fall! I believe that the 27% fall in DOW average, since Obama's election, is a reflection of the people who buy stock, feeling that they can't rely on Obama to correct the falling economy with what he and a co-operating Congress have cobbled together.

As Stuart Varney(an ex-Britt.) has said on television today. He is convinced that Obama is taking the USA down the path to Socialism that Great Britain took 30 years ago. I agree with him, and it is time for those who thought the CHANGE Obama was talking about was to make the Republic we live in a better place to live and work. Was but a dream on their part!
Unless you are one of those 50% who pay no taxes, and wait each month for your government check to come. I am afraid the road ahead will be one of redistribution of your wealth, more taxes and devaluation of the money you have and earn.While Congress and Obama commit "Generational theft"!

TWO OPPROBRIOUS ISSUES FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

For all his lofty grandstanding about private-sector greed (a.k.a. "free enterprise"), Obama hasn't proposed any salary rollbacks in the executive or legislative Federal government branches, much less big layoffs to reduce the size and cost of government. Instead Obama's proposals will swell the ranks of the Federal government to unprecedented levels, all paid for with your tax dollars.

So much for the federal government tightening its belt while there are massive salary cutbacks and layoffs in the private sector, or, should I say, out here in the real world.Some would refer it to "fly-over country"!

Despite all this, the biggest expansion of government programs and spending in history, Obama had the audacity to say, "There is, of course, another responsibility we have to our children. And that is the responsibility to ensure that we do not pass on to them a debt they cannot pay. ... We cannot simply spend as we please and defer the consequences."He must think we are all brain dead! What about the 1.3 trillion in spending and counting that he and Congress has spent in the last 30 days?
I believe if Obama and his "back henchmen" would look at the use of government purchase cards they could find a way to save some tax payers money.

The number of "credit cards" predictably, has expanded at a rapid rate. Spurred by legislative and regulatory reforms designed to increase the use of purchase cards for small acquisitions, the volume of government purchase card transactions grew from $527 million in 1993 to $18.7 billion in 2007. While the use of purchase cards has been credited with reducing administrative costs, audits of agency purchase card programs have found varying degrees of waste, fraud and abuse.

A 2008 Government Accountability Office audit at NASA found employee charges for seemingly personal items, including custom-engraved iPods and a Christmas tree. One former employee pleaded guilty to embezzlement in 2007 after spending more than $157,000 on jewelry, electronics and an air conditioner for her home. At least 160 cases of card abuse were referred to NASA investigators during fiscal 2007 and 2008, with 25 of those resulting in disciplinary action.
Credit card misuse is not unique to NASA. The most common risk factor is that Agencies fail to implement adequate safeguards against card misuse, even as their purchase programs grew. And employees have been able to seek improper purchases through the system.

Each FEDERAL GOVERNMENT agency is responsible for establishing its own purchase card program. Within guidelines from the Office of Management and Budget, an agency establishes internal rules and regulations for purchase card use and management, decides which of its employees are to receive cards, and handles billing and payment. Sounds to me like the fox guarding the hen house!

In another weekend breaking news story that illustrates the deception in the Presidents eloquent style of describing things. President Obama announced that he had finally chosen a replacement for the vacant post of Secretary of Health and Human Services. Kathleen Sebelius, the second female governor of Kansas, the Democrat respondent to the 2008 State of the Union address, and chair-emerita of the Democratic Governors Association. She ,like Obama is a supporter late term partial birth abortion. Sebelius has been endorsed by Planned Parenthood and they have conducted fundraising activity on her behalf. Sebelius vetoed anti-abortion legislation in Kansas in 2003, 2005, 2006, and again in 2008.
Sebelius, also did not support an April 2005 amendment to the Kansas Constitution that made same-sex marriage in the state unconstitutional. Sebelius said she supported the existing state law outlawing same-sex marriage, viewed it as sufficient, and therefore opposed the constitutional amendment. The amendment passed with 70 percent voter approval.
Source: Wikapedia

If the above is not enough to disqualify her for a Cabinet position. Gov.Sebelius gave an award to the notorious Doctor George Tiller of Wichita, Kansas at the governor's mansion in September of 2005.
Dr. Tiller is the abortion doctor whom Bill O'Rielly featured on his Television program Monday Nov.06,2006 as this quote illustrates.

"The Factor" has been investigating Dr. George Tiller of Kansas. For $5000, "Tiller the Baby Killer," as some call him, will perform a late-term abortion for just about any reason.
In Kansas, the law says that abortions are legal after 22 weeks when a baby in the womb becomes viable, only if there is "irreversible impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman."
Now that's a pretty high bar. But there is the mental health exception. And that is where Dr. Tiller lives.
"The Factor" has learned that in Kansas, a mental health exception can be just about anything. However, we needed to prove that. So we tried to get Tiller's records. We could not. He cited patient confidentiality. And month after month, we were frustrated.
But now, "The Factor" has evidence that indicates Tiller killed late-term fetuses by citing "temporary depression" on the part of the mother. That was the reason Tiller performed scores, perhaps thousands of late-term abortions"

What possibly could motivate a governor to give an award to this monster? And is this woman the best Obama can find to head our National Health Care agency, just because she agrees with him on abortion issues? When will President Obama stop telling Americans and the world that he will not stand for torture and yet allow the killing, brutally of a partial born baby by crushing it's skull!

Where are you Dr. Koop when we need you, and I did not even like him!

SOCIALIZED MEDICINE UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

President B.H. Obama has thrown down the gauntlet to the "special interests" as he calls the insurance companies, and today asked Congress to ignore their pleas and I guess money that they use to get their way. So he can have his socialized medicine.

He reminded all that he campaigned on the promise to deliver medical care for all. and he is bound and very determined to get his way. I have no doubt he will find a willing Congress to give him his socialized medicine despite the fact that in doing so he will destroy the best medical system in the World.

If you doubt me, spend and hour in the waiting room of the Mayo clinic and listen to all the foreign languages spoken. People from every where come to the USA for medical care, but they won't if he does to medicine what the government has done to the Postal Service and the IRS!

There are not many people I know who have experienced socialized medicine in a life threatening situation. I am one who has! So I have republished a blog I posted in 2006 that explain the horrors of "free" medical care.I put free in quotes, because even when socialized medicine is passed it will no be free. You taxpayers will pay for the "crap"" that is passed off as medicine for all!

NOT ONLY DOES THE U.S. CONSTITUTION NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HEALTH CARE RIGHTS, BUT THIS INITIATIVE IS NOTHING MORE THAN BLATANT SOCIALISM WHICH WOULD ROB FROM THE "HAVES" TO PAY FOR THE "HAVE NOTS".
THIS IS NOTHING MORE OR LESS BUT WHAT THE GREAT SENATOR FROM NEW YORK, HILLARY CLINTON, TRIED TO DO BEHIND CLOSED DOORS THE FIRST YEAR HER HUSBAND WAS PRESIDENT.
XXX
I USUALLY DON'T WRITE ABOUT MYSELF IN THESE FLEDGLING ATTEMPTS TO BE A BLOGGER. BUT THIS SUBJECT IS SOMETHING I CAN WRITE ABOUT FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. A YEAR AGO THIS PAST MAY MY WIFE AND MY YOUNGEST SON WERE IN ROME FOR OUR 32 ND ANNIVERSARY WHEN I AWOKE IN A HOTEL ROOM AROUND 5AM WITH THE DREADED ELEPHANT SITTING ON MY CHEST! YES, IT WAS A HEART ATTACK! I WAS SCARED AS HELL!
XXX
IN ITALY THEY HAVE TOTAL SOCIALIZED MEDICINE---EVEN FOR VISITORS FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES. KIND OF LIKE OUR MEDICAID PROGRAM FOR ILLEGAL MEXICANS. I DID NOT KNOW THIS UNTIL I CHECKED OUT OF THE HOSPITAL 4 DAYS LATER TO FLY HOME FOR DEFINITIVE TREATMENT OF MY HEART. BUT AT ANY RATE AN AMBULANCE FINALLY CAME TO OUR HOTEL AROUND 7:30 AND TOOK ME TO A LARGE HOSPITAL NEAR THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT. THE RIDE ITSELF WAS AN EXPERIENCE. SIRENS BLARING AND WEAVING IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC I WAS LUCKY I WAS STRAPPED IN. WHEN I GOT TO SAN JACQUIMO HOSPITAL I WAS ROLLED INTO A HALLWAY WHERE I WAITED FOR 50 MIN. OR SO, WHEN A NURSE WHO COULDN'T SPEAK ENGLISH TRIED TO GET MY HISTORY,ETC. FROM A MAN WHO SPEAKS SPANISH FAIRLY WELL BUT KNEW ONLY A FEW WORDS OF ITALIAN. AFTER SOME TIME THEY GAVE ME A SHOT THAT RELIEVED MY PAIN,DREW BLOOD AND ROLLED ME BACK OUT INTO THE HALLWAY WITH DOZENS OF OTHER PATIENTS. FINALLY A DOCTOR CAME TO TELL ME IN FAIRLY GOOD ENGLISH THAT, YES, I HAD A HEART ATTACK. HE TOLD ME THE CARDIAC CARE WARD WAS FULL, BUT HE WOULD TRY AND GET ME A BED IN THE SURGICAL WARD.THE CARDIAC WARD HAS FOUR BEDS!
XXX
SOME HOURS LATER I WAS TRANSPORTED TO A ROOM THAT HAD TO BE UNLOCKED BEFORE THEY COULD ROLL ME IN, AND WAS LOCKED AS SOON AS I ENTERED. HAVING OVER 30 YEARS AS AN ORAL SURGEON ON THE STAFFS OF TWO HOSPITALS I WAS SUDDENLY TRANSPORTED INTO THIRD WORLD MEDICINE! INSIDE THE ROOM WERE FOUR BEDS THREE OF WHICH WERE OCCUPIED BY MAJOR SURGERY POST OPERATIVE PATIENTS. ONE LADY HAD A MASTECTOMY, ONE MAN HAD A THROAT OPERATION, AND THE THIRD WAS A LADY WHO HAD SOME TYPE OF ABDOMINAL SURGERY. I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITHOUT A HEALING, OPEN WOUND.
XXX
THE FIRST THING I NOTICED BEFORE THEY RAMMED A TOO LARGE CATHETER WITHOUT LUBRICATION UP MY URETHRA ,THAT MADE ME BLEED FOR TWO DAYS, WAS THAT THERE WAS JUST ONE WINDOW IN THE ROOM AND IT WAS WIDE OPEN WITH NO SCREEN ON IT! THIS WAS A ROOM FOR SURGERY PATIENTS HOPING TO RECOVER AND THE FLYS WERE MERRILY FLYING IN AND OUT OF THE WINDOW.
XXX
AFTER THE IVs WERE INSERTED I WAS AWARE THAT ALL THE DRESSINGS REMOVED FROM THE SURGERY PATIENTS WERE BEING PLACED IN AN OPEN BOX LINED WITH A PLASTIC BAG ABOUT 4 FEET FROM MY BED NEXT TO THE LOCKED DOOR. THE IV THAT WAS PUT IN HAD PUNCTURED MY VEIN WALL, AND ABOUT AN HOUR LATER MY RIGHT FOREARM WAS SWOLLEN AND HURT LIKE BLAZES. SINCE NO ONE IN THE ROOM COULD UNDERSTAND A WORD OF ENGLISH. I YELLED THE UNIVERSAL DISTRESS, "HELP" AS LOUD AS I COULD. IF I HAD KNOWN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO "JUST GEORGE", AS THEY LEARNED TO CALL ME, WAS ABOUT TO BECOME A PIN CUSHION FOR TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE I THOUGHT WERE NURSES. I MIGHT HAVE SAID NOTHING EVEN THOUGH I KNEW IT WASN'T INSERTED CORRECTLY. IF I KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO JAB ME SO MANY TIMES WITH LARGE NEEDLES(nine times unsuccessfully). FINALLY AFTER RIPPING UP MY VEINS IN BOTH FOREARMS THEY CALLED A FEMALE DOCTOR TO HELP. SHE SPOKE ENGLISH AND HAD THE IV IN MY HAND ON THE FIRST TRY. NICE LADY, BUT I NEVER SAW HER AGAIN.
XXX
SINCE THERE WAS NO IV INSERTED FOR ABOUT THREE HOURS THEY STARTED TO STICK ME IN THE BELLY WITH INJECTABLE HEPARIN . I VAGUELY REMEMBER 8 OR TEN JABS IN THE BELLY WHICH MADE MY STOMACH LOOK LIKE I WENT TEN ROUNDS WITH "JOE LOW BLOW" BOXER! AT DINNER TIME I LEARNED THAT THE HOSPITAL PROVIDED NEITHER FOOD NOR WATER, NOR TOILET PRODUCTS SUCH AS SOAP AND TOOTHBRUSH. THEY EXPECTED THE RELATIVES OF THE PATIENTS TO BRING IN THE FOOD,ETC. THE ONLY THING THEY PROVIDED THREE TIMES A DAY WAS A GRUEL LIKE WATERED DOWN SOUP AND 3 "ZWIEBACK" TYPE CRACKERS. I LOST 12 POUND IN FOUR DAYS!
XXX
FINALLY ON THE MORNING OF THE THIRD DAY I WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE CARDIAC CARE UNIT. IT WAS LIKE GETTING BACK TO THE 21ST CENTURY! THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THEY ONLY HAD FOUR BEDS! IN THIS LARGE VERY STERILE LOOKING ROOM WITH THE NURSES STATION BEHIND A DOOR AND LARGE WINDOWS WITH NO CALL BUTTON AT ANY BED. YOU WERE ON YOUR OWN.
XXX
THE REAL CLOSE CALL CAME LATER THAT DAY. I HAD BEEN PUT ON AN IV DRIP OF NITROGLYCERIN AND AN IV WITH SOME NARCOTIC FOR PAIN. THERE WAS A VERY NICE CARDIOLOGIST WHO COULD SPEAK ENGLISH WELL ENOUGH FOR ME TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIM, BUT HE ONLY CAME IN ONCE A DAY. THE PROBLEM DEVELOPED WHEN I TOLD HIM I WAS STILL HAVING SOME CHEST PAIN. HE ORDERED A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE NARCOTIC AND NITROGLYCERIN DRIP. THE DRUGS MADE MY SLEEPY AND I DRIFTED OFF TO SLEEP FOR HE FIRST TIME IN THREE DAYS. I WAS TOO SCARED TO FALL ASLEEP IN THE SURGERY ROOM AS THE STAFF SPENT MOST OF THEIR TIME DAY AND NIGHT BEHIND A CLOSED DOOR JUST OUTSIDE THE WARD. AT NIGHT THE "HANK-PANKY GOING ON COULD WAKE THE DEAD!
XXX
WHILE I WAS SLEEPING, THE SHIFTS CHANGED, AND APPARENTLY THE "NURSE" WHO HAD INCREASED MY IV DRIP HAD NOT MADE A NOTE IN MY CHART. SO WHEN THE NEW CREW CAME IN THEY INCREASED THE AMOUNT OF NARCOTIC AN NITRO DRIP. A SHORT TIME LATER WHEN I AWOKE LUCKILY, I BEGAN TO GO BLIND. EVERYTHING GREW BLACK, AND I THOUGHT I WAS DYING! APPARENTLY MY BLOOD PRESSURE DROPPED TO 50/30 AND ALL I COULD DO WAS WAVE MY HANDS AND TRY TO YELL HELP. LUCKY FOR ME A NEW NIGHT DOCTOR WAS IN THE NURSES STATION AND SAW ME WAVING FRANTICALLY. HE CAME AND AFTER CHECKING MY BLOOD PRESSURE HAD THE NURSING STAFF RAISE THE FOOT OF MY BED SO HIGH I SLIPPED UP TO THE BEDSTEAD, BUT IT SAVED MY LIFE ALONG WITH THE IV INJECTIONS OF MEDS. HE GAVE ME TO RAISE MY BLOOD PRESSURE. THAT WAS AS CLOSE AS I HAD EVER COME TO HAVING A STROKE.
XXX
ON THE FOuRTH DAY MY WIFE, MY SON AND I DECIDED THIS HOSPITAL WAS DANGEROUS TO MY HEALTH AND MADE UP OUR MINDS TO FLY BACK TO THE U.S. I TOLD THE DOCTOR WHO SPOKE ENGLISH THAT I WANTED TO GO HOME BUT HE INSISTED I MUST STAY AND HAVE A HEART CATHETERIZING IN THE MORNING. I ASKED HIM IF I WAS IN A PRISON OR COULD I SIGN MYSELF OUT AGAINST HIS ADVICE. AFTER A LENGTHY TALK WITH HIS SUPERIORS HE BROUGHT ME THE RELEASE PAPERS TO SIGN. FOR ALL I KNOW THEY COULD BE A DEATH WARRANT OR DEED TO MY HOUSE AS THEY WERE IN ITALIAN. I SIGNED THE PAPERS AND TOOK A CAB TO THE HOTEL. THE NEXT DAY WE FLEW HOME IN A 747 WITH NITRO PATCHES CHANGED EVERY FOUR HOURS AND ROOM ENOUGH FOR ME TO LAY DOWN AND SLEEP MOST OF THE 10 HOUR FLIGHT. THUS ENDED MY EXPERIENCE WITH TOTALLY SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. SOME PEOPLE RAVE ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES IN COUNTRIES WITH SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. BUT I WILL NEVER FORGET THE NIGHTMARE THAT WAS MINE ALL FOR FREE. IT DID NOT COST A CENT! Caps are for emphasis not shouting!!

SUBSTITUTING MONEY FOR WEAPONS

Everyone on the planet understands we are in the midst of a World wide recession, and more spectacular "the worst recession since the Great Depression" according to the President.
Instead of cutting welfare spending( it is presently 12.3% of GDP) and reducing the size of the government work force, Obama has determined that it would be more fair to eliminate the tax deduction for charity and the interest on your house if you and your spouse make over $250,000.
He also has promised to stop spending money for "cold war" defense projects. That sounds good, but some of the weapons that he and his minions plan to stop are the f-22 fighter jet that would replace the F-18 that is over 20 years old, and reduce the number of nuclear submarines that protect US from nuclear subs of enemies like Communist China, Russia and any other rogue country that decides to pose a threat to the USA.

Despite the economy problems, apparently the President feels that we can buy our safety through Foreign Aid, because despite his economic crisis,he plans to increase the amount of taxpayers money that will be sent to foreign countries.

The following is a quote from the Internet site of the Jerusalem Post. "The budget, according to the text put out Thursday by the Office of Budget Management, "puts the United States on a path to double foreign assistance. By increasing foreign assistance, the United States will reach out to the global community and renew its role as a leader in global development and diplomacy."

One Capitol Hill staffer who deals with these issues expressed relief that the administration wasn't "scapegoating" foreign aid as has happened in the past during times of economic trouble. Sounds to me as though Secretary Clinton is getting more money to distribute around the world to buy friends while the military gets the short end of the stick!
It appears to me that our new President and the Democrat controlled Congress is waging economic war against the American taxpayers. It started with President Bush and TARP, but has morphed into a 3 trillion dollar spending spree that will drain the monetary reserves to the point where if a foreign government decides to try to destroy our banking and economic systems, by setting up several multi- million dollar overseas hedge funds, and acting together they could dump U.S. stocks by targeting key U.S. companies, that predictably will cause panic within the stockholders.

Taking this point further, since the government has already(in 2001) pumped billions into the banking system to bolster the faltering New York banks.
And now that they have spent trillions on numerous "bail outs" with uncertain and unreported results. If the stock market continues to free fall,banks are unable to jump in and help prop up the market!
In the case of CITI bank the government now owns 40% of the stock, and the plans Obama has for National Health Insurance and his version of FDR's welfare employment program make the ability of the new owners to help doubtful,and noted Economists estimate that the present debt(Deficit)already held by the taxpaying public is 59% of GDP. The road ahead is filled with either more taxes from the middle class including taking away tax deductions or printing more worthless money that will ignite ferocious inflation and devaluation of the money we now have!

When President Obama said the other day that the "day of reckoning has come". I wonder if he meant as the Thesaurus defines reckoning as "settlement,debt due and score". That now is the time to punish those Americans who have been successful to satisfy his radical left anarchists who hate the "RIC"" and want redistribution of wealth. If so, he has made a good start in satisfying their "blood lust"!

Knee Jerk Reaction by The President?

Late Wednesday afternoon the President appeared on television to advise the public that he was instituting new regulations for Wall Street. He said we need more regulation, and the fear is that the medicine may be more damaging than the disease that exists on Wall Street.
Wall street reaction was that Obama is being "mean spirited" and his actions will make us less competitive in the World Market place.

On the same day that Obama made this, I can only call it a threat, the EU was making the same move in their report presented to the European Commission on Wednesday. The report calls for two new bodies to boost financial oversight in the EU. Leaders are set to discuss the watchdog agencies next month.

The European Union wants to get serious about both financial oversight and monitoring risks to the economy. A new report presented to the European Commission on Wednesday recommends the establishment of two new watchdog groups in an effort to prevent a repeat of the financial meltdown that has European Union economies reeling.

The document will be used as a basis for a European Union discussion on financial supervision scheduled for next month and could also inform Europe's negotiating position at the G-20 summit in London at the beginning of April.

Running to 68 pages, the report is chock full of recommendations and ends with the warning: "Work must begin immediately." The report is careful to avoid proposing a single, all-powerful EU regulatory body -- an idea that many member states find unpalatable -- but does include some ideas that would require countries to delegate oversight powers to the EU.Sound familiar? Crisis in Europe and Crisis in the USA!

"A key lesson to be drawn from the crisis," the report says, "is the urgent need to upgrade macro-prudential supervision in the EU for all financial activities."This is Liberal speak for more government control over the financial sector! And it is on both sides of the Atlantic. One World anyone?

Expect that some time in the next 24 months the Congress of the USA will pass legislation to share our financial information controls with the EU.
Since the second measure would be the establishment of a European System of Financial Supervision (ESFS) to coordinate the transfer of information and supervision throughout the 27-member bloc.

"The group believes that the world's monetary authorities and its regulatory and supervisory financial authorities can and must do much better in the future to reduce the chances of events like these happening again," the report states.Source: Der Spiegel

The legal problem with the government oversight in this Country, is the fact that the government is denied by the Constitution from making loans to Banks that prescribe what that business will do with the loans.
The right in the U.S. Constitution to make or enter into contracts prohibits the government from limiting whom the banks can contract with,including the obscene monies that Banks pay their CEO's!
So from my point of view this is just more of President Obama's bluster and talk about something he cannot do!

THE PRESIDENT PLAYS LIARS POKER WITH TAXPAYERS

In the game of Liars Poker. At the start of a hand, each player is given a unique eight digit serial number. The first person makes a bid, which is a guess as to how many of a certain digit is contained in the combination of all the serial numbers.
The bid will eventually get high enough where all other players will call the bidder a liar. When this happens, all serial numbers will be revealed, and the digits will be counted. If the bidders bid was untrue a point is rewarded.

Last night President made eight statements/promises that he said he would accomplish as a result of the Stimulus package and the other spending he plans to implement.
In a way he was playing a sort of game of sophisticated, semantic Liars poker with the American public.

The analogy may be tenuous for many, but try to follow me briefly.
Obama promised eight things that are either out right lies, or they are misstatements due to ignorance.
We cannot claim a Harvard educated lawyer who was editor of the Harvard Law Review is not intelligent, so we move to the point of bald face lies.
Lies that like the game of Liars Poker will not be determined for months, even years.

His first statement:""We have launched a housing plan that will help responsible families facing the threat of foreclosure lower their monthly payments and refinance their mortgages. It's a plan that won't help speculators or that neighbor down the street who bought a house he could never hope to afford, but it will help millions of Americans who are struggling with declining home values".
The truth is:If the administration has come up with a way to ensure money only goes to those who got in honest trouble, it hasn't said so.

The second prevarication is probably an instance where his speech writers ignored history, and he cannot be blamed, but here it is:
" "And I believe the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it".
The true fact:A German Karl Benz invented a four cylinder motor car long before Henry Ford made his in 1908.

The third:"We have known for decades that our survival depends on finding new sources of energy. Yet we import more oil today than ever before".
The Truth is we have reduced our crude oil imports from a high in 2005 of 5 billion barrels to a present 4.7 billion barrels!

The fourth lie: " "We have already identified $2 trillion in savings over the next decade".
The truth is that even if re-elected he will not be in office in 10 years so he can say any number he wants, and it is common for Presidents to to pass on the most painful steps to his successor, by putting off big tax increases or spending cuts until someone else is in the White House, but I doubt this President will put off the tax increases for very long!

The fifth lie:""Regulations were gutted for the sake of a quick profit at the expense of a healthy market. People bought homes they knew they couldn't afford from banks and lenders who pushed those bad loans anyway. And all the while, critical debates and difficult decisions were put off for some other time on some other day."

THE FACTS: This may be so, but it isn't only Republicans who pushed for deregulation of the financial industries. The Clinton administration championed an easing of banking regulations, including legislation that ended the barrier between regular banks and Wall Street banks. That led to a deregulation that kept regular banks under tight federal regulation but extended lax regulation of Wall Street banks. Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, later an economic adviser to candidate Obama, was in the forefront in pushing for this deregulation.Source:MYWAY.com

The six lie: "In this budget, we will end education programs that don't work and end direct payments to large agribusinesses that don't need them. We'll eliminate the no-bid contracts that have wasted billions in Iraq, and reform our defense budget so that we're not paying for Cold War-era weapons systems we don't use. We will root out the waste, fraud and abuse in our Medicare program that doesn't make our seniors any healthier, and we will restore a sense of fairness and balance to our tax code by finally ending the tax breaks for corporations that ship our jobs overseas".
The truth is, his budget does not accomplish any of that. It only proposes those steps. That's all a president can do, because control over spending rests with Congress. Obama's proposals here are a wish list and some items, including corporate tax increases and cuts in agricultural aid, will be a tough sale in Congress.

Second, waste, fraud and abuse are routinely targeted by presidents who later find that the spending that a president might consider wasteful have staunch defenders in Congress who have fought off similar efforts in the past.

Lie seven is a whopper about energy savings. "Thanks to our recovery plan, we will double this nation's supply of renewable energy in the next three years."
The truth is While the president's stimulus package includes billions in aid for renewable energy and conservation, his goal is unlikely to be achieved through the recovery plan alone.

In 2007, the U.S. produced 8.4 percent of its electricity from renewable sources, including hydroelectric dams, solar panels and windmills. Under the status quo, the Energy Department says, it will take more than two decades to boost that figure to 12.5 percent
Source: Associated Press

And the eighth whopper is his promise that the Stimulus Plan will create jobs. ""Over the next two years, this plan will save or create 3.5 million jobs".
The truth of the facts is that job creation projections are uncertain even in stable times, and some of the economists relied on by Obama in making his forecast acknowledge a great deal of uncertainty in their numbers.

The president's own economists, in a report prepared last month, stated, "It should be understood that all of the estimates presented in this memo are subject to significant margins of error."

Beyond that, it's unlikely the nation will ever know how many jobs are saved as a result of the stimulus. While it's clear when jobs are abolished, there's no economic gauge that tracks job preservation. The estimates are based on economic assumptions of how many jobs would be lost without the stimulus.

Just like liars poker we the voting public will have to take his word or call him a liar, and wait and see what the results are. But if we wait will it be too late?

I GUESS THE PRESIDENT DID NOT READ THEM!?

Just 17 years ago that the American Journalist Charles Krauthammer spoke of the dawning of a new era in which, for decades to come, the United States would serve as the epicenter of the world order. Only five years have passed since then-US Secretary of State Colin Powell told an audience at Davos that America claimed the right to initiate unilateral military action.

Fast forward to today, the day after President Obama's State of the Union speech. You will discover that we have elected a President that has forgotten what a Constitutional Lawyer should have ingrained upon his mind. Last night, Obama said he believes the role of government is to lay the foundation “for our common prosperity.”
Somebody should remind this Constitutional scholar that the Federalist Papers tell the President that his first responsibility is the safety of the PEOPLE!


Instead his speech detailed his three most important issues are National Health Care, develop a Carbon Trade system as part of energy conversion and pouring more money into a failed Education System. At the same time he is going to try to cure cancer, save Detroit auto works, save the banks or take them over and rebuild the infrastructure of America.

What he neglected to mention is what he will do to perpetuate the safety that former President Bush provided US with after 9/11/01! In fact a close look at his proposed budget shows that he will cut the Defense spending by cutting back the production of the F-22 fighter jet , reducing the size of the Nuclear Submarine fleet and stopping the construction of super carriers for the Navy.All this while the mullahs in Iran put together their nuclear bombs! And if you have not noticed the Russians are making overtures that appear to be a prelude to establishing Naval bases in Venezuela and even possibly Cuba!


Meanwhile,the government faces mounting pressure to put billions more in some of the biggest U.S. banks( B of A and CITICORP), two of the biggest Detroit automakers and the biggest insurance company(AIG), despite the billions it has already committed to rescuing them.

The government's boldest rescue to date, its $150 billion commitment for the insurance giant American International Group, is foundering. AIG indicated Monday it was negotiating for tens of billions of dollars in additional assistance as losses mounted.

Separately, the Obama administration confirmed it was in discussions to aid Citigroup, the recipient of $45 billion so far, that could raise the government's stake in the banking company to as much as 40 percent.

In an unexpectedly assertive joint statement after two weeks of bank stock declines, the U.S. Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve and bank regulatory agencies announced that the government might demand a direct ownership stake in major banks that do not have enough capital to weather a deeper downturn. The government will begin conducting a test of the banks' financial health this week

As the administration takes bigger stakes in companies, the value held by existing shareholders is being diluted, which could make it even harder to attract private money in the future. Timothy Geithner, the secretary of the Treasury, recently outlined a bank recovery plan that included a new program to attract a combination of public and private money to buy troubled mortgages and other assets.
The difficulty of shoring up AIG must weigh on the administration at this moment. The administration's banking statement amounted to plan of action demonstrating a way to demand a major and possibly a controlling stake in systemically important banks like Citigroup and Bank of America.


Yet the President had the fervor to pledge that he would cut the budget deficit in half by the end of his first term in office. That deficit reduction will be accomplished in part by tax hikes on high earners – those making more than $250,000 a year, he said. There goes the middle class of the USA!!!!

A CRISIS IS COMING EXPRESS FOR YOU FROM WASHINGTON DC

President R.Reagan said, "This is the issue: whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them for ourselves. ... Somewhere a perversion has taken place. Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment."

And it appears that President Obama his pulling hard on the fabric of freedom that we hold so dear. His Federally mandated confiscation and redistribution of more than $ 1.3 trillion to be spent over the next 10 years, and may grow to 3 trillion if he keeps pending like a drunken sailor! Will certainly devalue the dollar and cause rapid out of control inflation. It could get so bad that even the Communist Chinese will not buy our T- Bonds.
Between Japan and China we have outstanding $1.27 trillion in debt before Hillary went with hat in hand to Beijing to ask them to buy more. She never broached the subject of their air pollution(the worst in he world) or the horrible human rights record. It was as though she went to visit a friend not a Communist enemy who would like to bury us both economically and militarily.

And not be out done in the spending frenzy. The U.S. Congress is proceeding with plans to spend even more of the taxpayers money on their personal favorite, themselves and their voters.
The irony of it all is that on the day the President held a "fiscal responsibility" summit at the White House -- the House of Representatives Appropriations Committee released an omnibus budget measure designed to finance the dozens of federal agencies whose 2009 budgets were not approved in the last Congress.(they held this back just on the chance that Bush might have used his veto pen,which he seldom used).

True to Democratic rhetoric heard throughout the Bush years, the legislation would provide significant new funds to many domestic programs...US Rep. David Obey, the Wisconsin Democrat who heads the House Appropriations Committee, said in a news release Monday, "Congress...today presents a bill that will keep the government running and finish last year’s business. This bill works in harmony with the economic recovery package, making investments that address the country’s immediate needs while investing in our long term economic strength." Much of that spending is directed toward programs important to higher education.The legislation would provide an extra $347 million in funds for the Pell Grant Program for low-income students, an increase paid for in large part by taking money that the Bush administration proposed directing toward the Academic Competitiveness and Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant Programs that have gone underutilized by colleges.

Note: They are taking the money from areas where American students fall behind many Asian and European Countries, and giving it to students who will never attain the excellence we need in our schools and Universities.

Just a few of he programs that will receive multi-millions of dollars that I feel has nothing to do with stimulating the "Countries Immediate Needs", and everything to do with strengthening the Democrat voter base, are listed below.

Strengthening Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities $23,158,000
Strengthening Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Institutions $11,579,000
Strengthening Historically Black Colleges and Universities $ 238,095,000
Strengthening Historically Black Graduate Institutions $58,500,000
Minority Science and Engineering Improvement $8,577,000
Developing Hispanic Serving Institutions $93,256,000
Strengthening Asian American and Pacific Islander-serving Institutions $2,500,000
Tribally Controlled Postsecondary Voc-Tech Institutions $7,773,000
I am all for education, but could this not wait until the taxpayer can breath again when and if the economy rights itself. Obama and Congress are doing everything they can to destroy it despite the Pious Platitudes!

THE FEAR FACTOR AT WORK

Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” —Ronald Reagan

First it was the Global Warming warning from "alGoreites" that caused normally rational people to believe that man is destroying the planet because we use fossil fuels. As a result we are in the desperate position that relies on Countries for our economic life blood(crude oil) that basically do not like us. Even though we have enough oil off shore in the Dakotas and the ANWAR region of Alaska to provide the fuel that drives not only our economy but our military,and our defense.
While we beg Communist China to buy more of our treasury bonds.Secretary Clinton just left Beijing after trying to talk a reluctant communist country to help support Obama's $787 billion stimulus Bill!
One of the worst air polluters in the whole World is busy making deals in Africa to drill for more oil to run the economic giant that already holds 696.2 billion dollars of our T- Bonds!

Which brings me to the second fear tactic that has been perpetrated on the American public. President Obama is flying all over the Country crying Crisis and predicting a worst depression than the USA had in the 1930s if we do not spend more billions on his "rescue" package. This is a bold face lie and the facts prove that what he is doing is paying back those who got him elected, and laying the ground work for more government employees that will be dependent on the welfare state for their livelihood. Thus guaranteeing his voting base and the Congressional Democrats for years to come. The stimulus is costing approximately $3000 per American,and yet Obama and the Democrats are crying crisis about an economy that so far has only dropped by $120 per person. Perhaps the economy has more to fall, but it doesn’t make sense to spend billions of dollars in order to rescue a few auto industries and some banks that due to total mismanagement are failing.


Only a few people pointed out last year that chaos for the finance industry does not necessarily mean tragedy for the economy as a whole, so that bailouts and stimulus packages are worth far less than their price tag. Now we know: the economy as a whole continued to maintain high levels of production production and spending. Although the economy should be closely watched in 2009, taxpayers would be better served if their representatives would discern hype from real disaster, and thereby better protect taxpayer wallets from the alarmists.

In plain English: adjusted for inflation, total spending in the United States economy was about one percent lower in October-December than it was July-September. (The fourth quarter performance would have to repeat itself three more times – for a full year – in order for real GDP to actually fall the 3.8 percent in the headline.)

None of us likes to see our purchasing power fall, but it helps to put the one percent drop in perspective. That drop was pretty similar to what happened during the 1990 recession. Real spending has so far done much better than the 1981-82 recession, when it fell three times as much. The Great Depression of the 1930s was far worse.

Another way to understand the headline: spending fell $120 per person.The Bureau of Economic Analysis showed recently that so far this recession is mild by historical standards. Nevertheless, President Obama's fear-mongering continues.How else would he be able to spend so much money that we do not have to further his welfare state!
This despite the fact that a survey of 47 professional forecasters released by the National Association of Business Economists on Monday predicted the recession-hit economy would begin to recover in the second half of this year, returning to a potential growth trend in 2010.

Perhaps the real problem Obama and his "One World" supporters are worried about is the financial crisis in Europe more than what is happening here at home. During the past weekend two cheer leaders for Obama's "spendulus " Bill, Billionaire and Socialist George Soros(the bank roller for Obama's election campaign) said the economic World turbulence is actually more severe than during the Great Depression, comparing the current situation to the demise of the Soviet Union.
He said the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September marked a turning point in the functioning of the market system.
"We witnessed the collapse of the financial system," Soros said at a Columbia University dinner. "It was placed on life support, and it's still on life support. There's no sign that we are anywhere near a bottom."
He was joined by another Obama advisor Paul Volker,former Federal Reserve chairman who is now a top adviser to President Barack Obama.
Volcker said industrial production around the world was declining even more rapidly than in the United States, which is itself under severe strain.
"I don't remember any time, maybe even in the Great Depression, when things went down quite so fast, quite so uniformly around the world," Volcker said.

Volker is old enough(81 years old) and supposedly smart enough to know the history of recessions since the Great Depression, but if you are a wealthy elitist who thinks he knows what is best for us "ordinary" folks. Then he might think bankrupting this Country by spending money we do not have, and will have to borrow from Japan and Communist China is a good way for our Republic to go!

THERE IS NO SANTA CLAUS FOR THE ECONOMY

Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” —Ronald Reagan

George Mason University college Professor Richard Wagner wrote this for the office of the House Republican Leader: "Any so-called stimulus program is a ruse. The government can increase its spending only by reducing private spending equivalently. Whether government finances its added spending by increasing taxes, by borrowing, or by inflating the currency, the added spending will be offset by reduced private spending. Furthermore, private spending is generally more efficient than the government spending that would replace it because people act more carefully when they spend their own money than when they spend other people's money." A short translation of Wagner's comment is: There is no Santa Claus!

If the value of all that we in the USA will produce in 2009(our gross domestic product (GDP)) totals $14 trillion. There should be no disagreement that if Congress spends $4 trillion, of necessity there is only $10 trillion left over for us to spend in the private sector. In other words, if Congress is going to spend $4 trillion, it must find a way to get us to spend $4 trillion less. The most open and somewhat above board method to force us to spend less privately is to tax us to the tune of $4 trillion.

Another method to force us to spend less privately is to print money and inflate the currency. Rising prices reduce our ability to spend privately since each dollar we hold will not buy as much. Another way is for Congress to borrow,(from Communist China, Japan or Brazil) thereby reducing our ability to spend privately.

By the way, all of this means that in any real economic sense to those who study economics, is the federal budget is always balanced. That is, if Congress spends $4 trillion we must privately spend $4 trillion less whether it is accomplished through taxation, inflation or borrowing.

This is where the government and specifically President Obama are acting like the mythical figure Santa Claus.Santa magically appears each Christmas eve to deliver presents to all good little children. The children do not know the presents come from their parents at first, but believe the benevolent Santa has given them their gifts with no financial consequences for anyone.

What Obama and his minions are doing with the stimulus package and fear, is shifting money to those who have not earned it, but still were allowed(actually encouraged) to buy houses that they could not afford.

But the government has no money to give, they have given all your tax dollars to the first "bail out"(TARP) for which there has been no accounting of how it was spent.
Since the Federal government makes no money, and relies on taxes and fees to support their largess. They should extend the tax cuts due to expire soon, and this would kick start the economy and produce more taxes.
The almost 900 billion dollars in the governments bag of gifts is tax dollars and IOU's from taxpayers not yet born! But they like Santa Claus don't tell those whom receive the gifts that they come from elves in the North Pole. The Obamaites are busy telling them they are taking the money from those greedy money makers who have taken advantage of the "have nots" far too long! And Obama and his cadre are here to redistribute the wealth while creating a welfare state!

And if this is not enough to make your blood boil, consider this. In 2010 there are 15 separate taxes that are scheduled to rise that will cost taxpayer an additional 200 billion dollars in Federal taxes. If you think Obama will stop the raises I will tell you the story about the tooth fairy!

NOTHING FAIR ABOUT THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE

Not since Joseph Goebbels controlled the German thought and speech process in Hitler's Germany, has a threat to dissenting speech been manifested as is the attempt to resurrect the Fairness Doctrine.
To refresh your memory about Mr. Goebbels, after the Nazis rose to power in 1933, he was appointed propaganda minister. One of his first acts was the burning of books rejected by the Nazis. He proceeded to gain full control of every outlet of information in Germany. Following his appointment, his attacks on German Jews, beginning with the boycott of 1933, became ever fiercer and culminated in the Kristallnacht in 1938, the first open and unrestrained pogrom unleashed by the Nazis.

Now substitute the word "Jews" with the word "Conservatives" and you can see the similarity if the Fairness Doctrine is re-instated under this present administration.


“With the stink of public corruption blanketing Washington, with our elected officials passing the single largest spending bill in our nation’s history without even reading or debating it, with the increasing nationalization of our financial institutions, with almost dictatorial control of Congress by one political party, and with increasing signs we are becoming a socialistic country, Americans need more dynamic talk show hosts like Savage, not less,” said Thompson, the president of the Thomas More Law Center.
Conservative talk-radio hosts such as Dr. Savage have been so effective in rallying public outcry against many aspects of the liberal agenda that Democrat politicians have increasingly called for a return to the “Fairness Doctrine,” Orwellian- speak for censorship.

Thompson commented, “If the Doctrine is so fair, why are the liberals limiting it only to radio? Why not television, the Internet, and all the print media?”

The Fairness Doctrine, first introduced in 1949, required radio stations to broadcast opposing views on any matter of public importance they discussed. However, in 1987, President Reagan directed that it be abandoned. Since then, Democrats have made several unsuccessful attempts to reinstate the Doctrine.

With total Democrat control of the federal government, the Fairness Doctrine can be re instituted by a regulation of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or by Congressional enactment. Whatever form its reinstatement may take, any limitation on the Free Speech rights of Michael Savage will result in an immediate legal action. The U. S. Supreme Court would most likely find any reinstatement of the Doctrine unconstitutional.

A regulation of speech motivated by nothing more than a desire by the Democrats to silence political opposition on controversial issues of public interest is the purest example of a law abridging the freedom of speech. Such action is the hallmark of totalitarian governments, not a free society.

The Thomas More Law Center defends and promotes America’s Christian heritage and moral values, including the religious freedom of Christians, time-honored family values, and the sanctity of human life. It supports a strong national defense and an independent and sovereign United States of America.
And if you doubt the Leftists, that control the power structure in Washington, have already started the march to thought and speech control. Just consider for one moment the controlled press conference that the President had recently. The lack of substantive questions by any member of the Press , and the failure to address any questions that had not been pre-planned should show the lack of openness in this new administration. Or consider the fact that for the first time since WWII, a Bill was pushed through Congress without any public hearings,no amendments allowed, and no document presented to the Senate before they voted to pass this almost one trillion dollar spending Bill!

Not only do we not know for certain where Obama was born, because the birth certificate is doubted by many as being authentic, and I have a question that begs to be answered. Did Barack Hussein Obama register for the draft as is required by Federal Law of all 18 year old men in the USA? If he did , why don't his people show his draft card to prove he is a real American native born?

your tax money will fund anarcy in some usa citiies!

The House Democrats’ trillion dollar spending bill also includes $1 billion for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. CDBG funds are given by the federal government to state and local governments which often contract with nonprofits for services related to the purpose of the grant.

ACORN knows how to secure CDBG funds. Audit reports filed by ACORN’s headquarters with the Office of Management and Budget show that ACORN spent $1,588,599 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds from FY 2003 through FY 2007. It is not clear from these records when or from what source the funds were awarded to ACORN. It is also not clear whether ACORN chapters or affiliates have received CDBG grants on their own.


House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) repeatedly urged President George W. Bush and other federal officials to withhold taxpayer funds from ACORN, including $17.2 million in federal grants awarded in December 2008 after numerous allegations of wrongdoing in connection with ACORN’s election activities were reported by the news media.


Leader Boehner also released a study of federal records in October 2008 listing tens of millions in federal grants received by ACORN. A new updated and more expansive study reveals that ACORN has actually received millions more than first thought. A review of the Federal Register and news releases issued by federal agencies showed that ACORN was awarded more than $53 million in taxpayer dollars. This amount does not reflect the millions more ACORN has received in federal block grant funds awarded to state and local agencies which passed them on to ACORN.
And just what will ACORN do with this money?
Acorn announced that they are going to combat house foreclosures by using "civil disobedience".Starting tomorrow, Feb.19,2009 Acorn will send team to foreclosed homes to chain themselves to the building, padlock doors and perform other forms of illegal behavior to combat home foreclosures. They call their teams "Home Savers", but I think their action is nothing but anarchy, and it reminds me of what happened on Krystal Nacht in Munich and what happened in Moscow in 1917!

ACORN is targeting the following cities: Tucson, Ariz.; Oakland, Calif.; Los Angeles, Calif.; Contra Costa County, Calif.; Orlando, Fla.; Baltimore, Md.; New York, N.Y.; Houston, Texas; San Mateo County, Calif.; Denver, Colo.; Bridgeport, Conn.; Wilmington, Del.; Broward County, Fla.; Boston, Mass.; Flint, Mich.; Detroit, Mich.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Raleigh, N.C.; Durham, N.C.; Albany, N.Y.; Cincinnati, Ohio; Cleveland, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Dallas, Texas. If you live in any of these cities alert your police force, and make sure they keep order!

ACORN has waited three decades for this moment in the sun. And as Obama promised ACORN members at a forum in December 2007, "We're going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda. We're gonna be having meetings all across the country … so that you have input into the agenda." The moment is nigh. Prepare for lawlessness.

Late minute news! President Obama has announced that he will get Congress to "print" $75 billion dollars to assist 3 million homeowners that have defaulted on their mortgage payments. These are people who got a mortgage because of a Federal law administered by Barney Frank, Congressman from New York, that forced mortgage companies to lend to people who did not qualify for a mortgage based upon their income. Most of these are minority home owners, who had neither the means nor the inclination to pay the mortgage. What makes the "Savior" think they will pay the reduced mortgage payments.
Obama blamed the Banks for their responsibility for the mortgage mess, but he convieniently forgot that government dictates forced the banks and mortgages companies to make these bad loans!

Unfortunately we appear to have a president that hates the free enterprise system and is dedicated to government control over banks and financial industries whom he says do "predatory lending", along with the auto industry and only God knows what else!
Remember,Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them...Ronald Reagan
