Still waiting

For Change

Feinstein swings a sweetheart financial deal for her hubby by using her post in Government. Barney's buddies at Freddie and Fannie get bonuses.

Little to know media coverage of this stuff.

I thought the era of corrupt government was over? I heard there would be change. I guess there is change because now the corruption is right in your face.

The arrogance is amazing as the pompous Barney yells down a student who dares to challenge the great Barney.

and now because Mr. Obama can not get legislation in place to outright ban weapons or ammo, he and his team are entering into treaty negotiations with Mexico that would make reloading and otherwise adjusting your weapons illegal---

It then gives authority for that activity only with "a license from a competent governmental authority of the State Party where the manufacture or assembly takes place."
"The section … clearly identifies ammo reloaders that are not licensed by the government as 'Illicit Manufacturers' of ammunition. Now that we have reloaders properly labeled, lets move down to Article IV to see what we should do with them," the commentary said.
He then quotes Article IV, which states, "State Parties that have not yet done so shall adopt the necessary legislative or other measures to establish as criminal offenses under their domestic law the illicit manufacturing of and trafficking in firearms, ammunition, explosives, and other related materials."
"This is pretty straightforward. If you reload ammunition without a license after the treaty is signed you will be a criminal," Lawson wrote.
The National Rifle Association said the treaty "does include language suggesting that it is not intended to restrict 'lawful ownership and use' of firearms. Despite those words, the NRA knows that anti-gun advocates will still try to use this treaty to attack gun ownership in the U.S."
The treaty is available online.

Many of you say big deal but remember this is how it begins a little bit at a time. First you outlaw reloading, then you raise the taxes on new ammo , and then you limit the amount of ammo one can have on hand. Think I am crazy, gold was outlawed and seized in America in the past yes gold. Look it up.

I am stunned

Every day or nearly ever day I am stunned by the news. Keep in mind I only pay attention to probably less than half of what is going on and I am stunned.


Senior Obama officials calling the tea parties "unhealthy" are you kidding me. Americans exercising their right to peaceable assembly and Free Speech is unhealthy...

Bills in the Congress to not only bail out newspapers but grant licenses as to who can publish news? are you kidding me am I the only one that sees this as the end of free speech. Oh sure everyone else will still get to publish but only the Official news will be what the government decides is official--this does not send a chill up your spine?

Ex military folks declared as possible terrorists?

Obama effectively saying "let them eat cake" in response to the tea parties and taxes. He went on about how he gave 95% of us a tax cut. There has been no reduction in the tax rate he just had Congress pass a bill to reduce withholding. You will be paying the same amount of tax you always have. In fact you will probably end up oweing this year instead of getting refund because you are getting your refund at a rate of $13 per week. Even if we did get a tax cut when are we going to repay all this new debt? and how?

And now the government is going to decide which banks can repay the tarp money and which can not...seriously government is going to decide whether or not something is operating profitably? seriously the biggest wastor of money on the planet is going to sit in judgement.

The America Apologies tour is over but what are the long term ramifications.....Iran says screw you and jails a reporter and then says Obama should not talk it, China and Russia tell us to get lost on sanctions or even a stern letter to North Korea but they salivate at the idea of a treay for arms reductions....I wonder why. Pakistan says send us some money no strings attached. Europe says very nice speech and thanks for stopping by but it is still all your fault and no we are not supporting anything. and then Latin America....I do not even know when to begin here. oh wait and North Korea is told in no uncertain terms that they had better not launch and then they do and.........................the Obama apology turn begins.

I am a terrorist

I am not the author of this but I agree with and so I offer it here to my readers


Apparently I am a person capable of being a “man made disaster” propagator. I never realized I was such a bad person until the Dept. of Homeland Security outlined me as such. And I bet a good many of you folks are in the same situation.

I believe that Congress should control its spending just like me and my family are required to do during difficult financial times. I believe in less taxation. Money in my pocket is money that is spent to boost our sick economy. I support the Constitution as it was written by our forefathers, not as a document to be changed and modeled after EU documents. I believe that the 2nd Amendment guarantees my right to own a gun for my self defense, and does not only apply to a state militia. I am anti-abortion, as it is plain murder of the unborn, and I am against illegal immigration. US Citizenship is a dear possession and should not be handed out like dirt to anyone who illegally crosses our borders. I support the rights of any legal US citizen to runs for office, even on a third party ticket. I believe in free speech as guaranteed by the Constitution. It is my right to grow a vegetable garden without Federal interference, as I am the one who eats the fruits of that labor. And I am anti-United Nations. The US is a sovereign nation and has the God given right to national self-determination. It should never be subjugated to the will of any nation or nations.

So there you have it. When I was a younger man those terms above would have been describing a patriot, or at least a good US citizen. Now it means right wing “terrorist.” What have I and this nation come to?

Authors name omitted to protect him because in this "New America" he may be presecuted for such "radical" beliefs

Still waiting for change

It's Day 86 so there are still a few more days before the end of the highly promoted first Hundred Days of Change. So things could chnage but with only 2 weeks left and so little accomplished this is probably as good a time as ever to start the evaluations.

GITMO during the campaign there was a speech a day on how this would be closed. Today the message is the situation is complicated and we are considering putting them in a prison in Virginia. Sidebar--of course the trial for the bomber of the USS Cole was stopped and yes on paper GITMO has been closed.

IRAQ during the campaign there was a speech a day on how we would be out of Iraq beginning from day one. Divisions would start coming home 1 or 2 a month. Then it was 16 months, then it was 30,000-50,000 would stay. Today, the message is we are responding to the military leaders in the field, the conditions, and ultimately we may have to delay the withdrawal. sidebar to cover this up there was a media blitz claiming failures in Afghanistan.

IRAN/North Korea
Stern words and like everything else some good speeches from the teleprompter or giant screen TV but ultimately the leaders of these countries realized what we have not. North Korea launches a missile and Iran says honest we just want nuclear power. sidebar--Obama fails to grasp the complexity of foreign affairs and calls for UN condemnation without understanding the positions of China and Russia.

Defense
In response to NK launch and other World events, Obama puts forth a budget that cuts the development and deployment of missile dterrent systems in Alaska and offers to cut our weapons stock piles. Of course Russia and China like this idea.

Economy
Constitutionally not the responsibility of government but we threw away the Constitution so long ago who really cares. To prove the O team and the Dmeos care more than Reps, the Demos pass an even bigger misguided spending bill that is guaranteed to slow economic growth and saddle our great grandchildren with massive debt but not before you and I suffer hyper inflation sometime in late 2009 or 2010. The stock market essentailly crashes until George Soros and his buddies dump some cash to prop it up. Meanwhile Russia and China call for a new monetary unit.

Immigration
A miniwar has developed on our southern border and here again a few nice speeches a few troops and we are on a trip to Europe where he bad mouths Americans. Sidebar also the practice of raiding companies is essentially scraped unless the company is AIG.

Investments
Speaking of bad investments how about investing billions of tax payers dollars into GM and in less than 100 days realizing the company is not going to make it any way.

Corruption swept away
Ok, here i have to hand it to him after all Bush only found one person that was evading taxes during his appointments. This guy found a whole bunch of folks. Of course I would argue corrupt people are always corrupt.

Pirates
Yep, a real victory here. He brought the entire force of the US Navy to bear on 4 teenage boys and won. Wow amazing. Anyone stop to ask why after years the Somilia Pirates decided to attack not just one American ship but since Obama's nice speech about pirates a second ship? The pirates were not in any way affected by our actions in fact they are probably more eager than ever to beat us again.

Tax cuts for the Middle class
this is another beautiful piece of posturing. The o Team merely changed the withholding tables at the end of the year you will be paying the same tax rate. When you factor in the changes elsewhere in the tax code we all will be paying more taxes.

And the Demos what to us to believe the tea parties are contrived. The O team has a complete lack of understanding of people and events both at home and abroad.




























Keep in mind these are the days planned for ahead of time so they should represent the best efforts and agenda of the President before things start to be more reactive than proactive.

Monthly Update on National Debt

Faithful followers I forgot to update the National Debt

but here is it 4/10/2009

over 11 trillion now

$11,152,454,775,575

that's $36,448 per person

You liberals are so guible

Lost in the middle of stories of pirates, tax cheating Democrats, and bowing to foreign leaders is the fact that Obama failed to make good on his number one promise during the campaign.

He promised to get us out Iraq. He made it sound like the orders would begin within the first 100 days. He promised by May 2009 troops would heading home. Then he said 16 months and now it is more like 19 months with some on the ground saying maybe not even then because the insurgency has show renewed strength.

What I really enjoy is how CNN and the other drooling brain dead journalist report this new plan by Obama as though it is just that a new plan. It is the same Bush plan for withdrawal that Bush put into place last fall.

The whole thing is a farce and you liberals are a guible lot of lemmings blindly following and say wow like dogs following their masters.

Still waiting for this new era of oversight in Washington

Ok let me get this straight

Chris Dodd's wife was an exec at AIG and Chris Dodd accidentally wrote legislation benefitting AIG execs getting bonuses

then there is this

Rahm Emanuel's profitable stint at mortgage giant
Short Freddie Mac stay made him at least $320,000
By Bob Secter and Andrew Zajac Tribune reporters
Before its portfolio of bad loans helped trigger the current housing crisis, mortgage giant Freddie Mac was the focus of a major accounting scandal that led to a management shake-up, huge fines and scalding condemnation of passive directors by a top federal regulator.One of those allegedly asleep-at-the-switch board members was Chicago's Rahm Emanuel—now chief of staff to President Barack Obama—who made at least $320,000 for a 14-month stint at Freddie Mac that required little effort.

Reportedly Obama also got 100,000 from AIG in campaign contributions

Bonnie Frank and a bunch of Obama advisors were previously employed by Fannie and Freddie who are also at the heart of this mess.

but wait some fannie and freedie execs are also getting bonuses

and do not forget the 60 billion that was laundered to banks not in the US through AIG

and this is the new open and honest Washington

bring back Nixon

Soldiers to pay for their own injuries

I caught this yesterday but I need to find a printed source...

The great leaders of this country are putting into place a measure to have soldiers with health care force their health care providers pay for the injures instead of Uncle Sam.

Amazing, we are now telling those that defend this countries with their lives that if they injure themselves they will be going to the plan their civilian employer provides for the cost. Are you kidding me? Talk about outrageous. Guaranteed the cost to buy that insurance just went up for the employer and the soldier. In fact most will probably lose their coverage because the employer will not be able to cover the rising premiums.

Like the carbon offset program, and the health care reforms, this adds most cost on the backs of the middle class. Of course the Soviet Communists promised to aid the workers and then the whole thing went south and the illusion of freedom under Communist rule turned to tyranny.

Of Misdirection and Fraud

Is there anything that is not backwards in America right now???

Right now we are engaged in a fabricated debate over how much money the execs at AIG got. First of all do any of you actually believe the leaders of our governments were unaware that these payments were scheduled? Are our leaders that uninformed? Are we that guible to believe this nonsense?

Here is the thing while we are debating this topic over 60 billion left the country and went to European banks. Talk about overlooking dollars to pick up pennies. Someone please locate for me in the Constitution where it is legal for Congress to take taxpayer money and give it to corporations in foreign countries.

I am agree with the leaders of this country in that this is outrageous unfortunately we disagree on the question. They want you to focus in on 155 million that was contractually and legally due to this execs and ignore the 60 billion that went out the window. I do not care if the payments were right or wrong, we should be debating whether it was right or wrong for the government to give AIG the money in the first place.

on the heels of all this, fannie and freddie are prepared to issue their own bonuses

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Fannie-plans-bonuses-of-up-to-apf-14679491.html

If you wrote a script like this no one would buy it......

But here we are buying into this nonsense hook line and stinker....

Signs that we are in a Depression

First up the stock market is down about 32% in the first 50 days of Obama. In 1929 the Stock market fell 50% in one day so it has taken longer but Obama has achieved much in his first 50 days. A whole lot of wealth has been destroyed...

Of you liberal idiots will say some rich people ttok it on the chin who cares. First of all the majority of Americans is invested in the stock market and like those supposed banks that are too big to fail those that are not in the stock market are quickly and most directly affected by it.

You can tell me to stick it but I challenge you liberals idiots to get on a plane and go visit one of the tent cities forming in America that right America and tell those folks it is ok because only the rich people are getting the shaft. Sure Warren Buffet lost something like 26 billion but he is still rich and he does not have to sleep in a tent and cook his food over an open fire...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1159677/Pictured-The-credit-crunch-tent-city-returned-haunt-America.html

and not just in California but other States as well.

and The NRA-National Recovery Administration is almost alive again as Joe Biden kisses the Union Ring...

The battle in Congress over forced unionism and the so-called "Card Check" scheme is heating up dramatically. The end result stronger Union control of the marketplace just like in the Depression. The best thing that can be said about this is "if you have a job it will not be too bad" as the government cripples the economy to keep wages artifically high and therefore unemployment artifically high.

So what color tent do you want????

SS DT from Obama

Same Story Different Topic from Obama

Lots of great rhetoric and sweeping hopeful statement but no leadership. After years of complaining about the so called Bush No Child Left Behind Act, Obama and co say no change needed here except for "Americans to teach themselves". I say so called Bush because it was actually Kennedy and Co that created and pushed for the Act. Bush in an attempt at biparitisan fashion dumbly signed on to the act and then took the hit for allegedly not funding the measure. All in all a beautiful ste up because Bush has no authority over funding. The same idiot bunch of Democrats in Congress that came up with the legislation was also responsible for the funding.

Surrender in Afghanistan

This just in,

The Commander in Chief says we are losing in Afghanistan and he is willing to talk. He claims to has identified the moderate Taliban forces.

Not sure if the moderates are the ones that kill women for going to school or the men who refuse to wear beards. Apparently the great leader has and he is settting up a meeting.

Terms of surrender to be released as soon as they are available.

Monthly Update on National Debt

As part of informing the public....

Toady the March 3 ,2009 the National Debt stands at $10,891,106,202,111 give or take

Assuming an estimated population of the United States is 305,748,657 and that means each citizen's share of this debt is $35,621.07. This means each man, woman, and child owes 35,621.07 or roughly $142,000 for a family of four.

Violence on border with Mexico to end

That's right folks, the gauntlet has been throw down.

Holder, Obama and company have said enough is enough. They are putting together legislation to ban certain types of firearms here in the US to stop the Mexicans that are fighting along our borders.

That's right folks taking away your rights is going to stop folks in another country from shooting and killing each other.

This came in from a friend of mine. I edited it to remove identifying info and profanity.

"Gentelmen:

A majority of the American voters ask for it, and now we're getting it. I predicted this outcome last Nov. to several of you just prior to the election. See the link below.

Under the guise of the War in Mexico, assault weapons sold in the US are now being targeted by Obama and his minions, or so says the drive by media. (It is illegal to own an automatic assault weapon in the country without licensure from BATF but all of us know that already.) Somehow these illegal automatic weapons are being bought in the US and smuggled accross the border to fuel the Mex-Drug cartel war. Yeah, I bought a case of carbines last week and took them accross. Made a bundle. Was paid with a semi-truck load of meth.

This is just the beginning. (Hold on to your family jewels, as Obama will soon be confiscating those too, or tax them into oblivion. Hate to tell him but my spouse has already taken those from me, so she'll have to pay the tax.) Ownership of these weapons will be an out an out crime. Weapons with a "clip" (detachable magazine) greater than ten round capacity is specifically mentioned in the article linked below. Can't wait to see the aurgument about a pistol grip, detachable bayonet, etc. Cop killer bullets are also mentioned, but as a law abiding citizen we have no reasons to kill cops. It's the guys cops are trying to arrest that make me lose sleep. Any type projectile can kill anyone regardless of their profession, or intent. We all know it's where the shot is placed that will make a difference.

I doubt the chimps who are writing the legislation know the differences between semi and auto. And the worst possible language used is "making the ban permanent." Our government has created an emergency for proposed legislation, so of course, for greater security, the American public will trade away another part of their liberty."

Too much too say

Where to start...

Do I talk about the media gag on protestors in Denver...apparently they roasted a pig as a symbolic gesture to the passage of Porkulous Maximus

Why Porkulous Maximus? I know Rush is calling it porkulous. I prefer Porkulous Maximus because it sounds more official and reminds of the Roman Empire. The Roman empire believed it would last forever. They believed they were invincible. This package is much the same as they believe they can stop the business cycle.

How about many folks wondering why Congress lampooned the Big Three automaker executives taking plane filghts in private jets to go to Congress but Obama and the government think nothing of wasting tax payer dollars to travel to Denver to sign a piece of paper.

Speaking of Porkulous Maximus any one else catch the part in this bill where your medical records are going to become the property of the Federal Government? Probably not since even the loons that voted for it did not read it. Ok here is the thing, the Bill says You do not have to turn over your records. Duh. How would you and where would you? Your records are with your doctor not sitting in your living room. The doctors do not have to send the information except if they do not the begin to see their Federal payments from Medicare medicaid drop and conversely the more they play the more they get bonuses. So you doctor gets to treat people for free or turn over your records and get a stack of cash.

On to foreign policy--GITMO is still in business despite the memo to the countrary. We have not left Iraq and there are no new plans in place to change the pace of draw down put into place by Bush. And guess what 17,000 more troops are going to Afghanistan. I know that is all Bush's fault. But I thought the One was going to cause the World to love us again and there would be peace and joy.

And now the children are smarter than our representative in Congress. In Meza, AZ apparently the government indoctrination is not complete for many students brazenly dared to question the validity of the One's plan. Apparnelty these students understand you can not borrow your way to success.

And just in, CNBC host asks if we are going to reward the losers....

Are we socialist or communist??

1/10/1963 CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

Essentially achieved with the exception of the establishment of a more powerful one world government and the related court jurisdiction issue. Out of the total 45 only number 8 is completely unachieved, 5 -6 are still in progress, perhaps 5-6 others are essentially completed although resistance in small numbers still exists, therefore about 35 out of 45 are already completed and half of those are nearly achieved.

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
The Chief has already agreed to this

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
The Chief has indicated as much on an Arabic news station

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
If you watch news closely you will notice Obama just asked Russian to agree to a massive arms reduction

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
Done including very soon Cuba

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
Done

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
Done

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
Done

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
East and West Germany failed to play along and so this objective is unachievable but then again the collapse of this caused many of the other objectives to succeed.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
When was the last time we tested an atomic weapon?

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
Done

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
Definitely in the works

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
Done

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
Victory in California

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
Doubt seriously this has changed if anything they have more access.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
Done

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
Done

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
Done

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
Two years ago a student was expelled for suggesting the SSA was unconstitutional--essentially Done although pockets of resistance still exist

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
Maybe in the past but right now not needed Americans has already largely surrendered to Communism

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
Done

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
Done except radio which is now under attack by the President and Democrats and by others under the guise of the Fairness doctrine

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
Done—the “art” promoted today is either negative or degrading

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
Same as 22 Done

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
Mostly done but like the goal of rioting there is little need because people gravitate toward debasing forms of entertainment

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
done

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
Done22-26 are intertwined and largely society condones and accepts all of this

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
Done try carrying a Bible around for a week you will be labeled a nut but if you carry a Koran you will be consider enlightened.

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
Done

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
The current government including the Chief has already said this several times publically--Done

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
Done

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
Half of this have been achieved not sure if the second half can be accomplished because Americans are not interested in any history except possibly who won last year’s American Idol winner

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
Done

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
Are there any laws inhibiting the Communist Party in this country?

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
Is there even such a committee active today?

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
Probably in the works but the FBI is largely neutered and therefore like rioting such an action is no longer needed

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
Done but unions have largely disappeared from the economic stage so even if there are some not under their control the effect of a non-communist union is irrelevant

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
Not quite but businesses now believe their failures should be covered by government and their people believe in communist ideas so defacto done

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat]. In progress and as local government social service agencies have gained more and more powers of arrest. Factor in the Chief’s call to form a civilian police force and this is largely done.

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
Same answer as 37.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
Done

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
Done

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
Done

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
Not sure but not crucial to controlling America

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
If not done by law certainly done in practice

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
Likely to achieve within the next 5 years as society is ready to accept this provision.

Amazing what can slip by while we are watching Porkulous Maximus

Any one else nearly miss this http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gLy-7Qsm2KeE15rL6Is9p56BcWhwD966ABC80

Apparently the President has been trying to stop the trial of a suspected terrorist accused of assisting in the bombing of the USS Cole.

Why?

Ok so maybe you disagree with the tactics used in his interrogation but why stop the trial. Trials are where we get to see the evidence all the evidence including the conduct of the interrogators. Let the Judge and jury decide the matter.

So why stop the trial?

I admit I chickened out

At the end of last week, the stock market looked like it was on the road to recovery. Being new to blogging on my own site, I decided to delete a post where I showed a significant declinging stock market trend over the last few months.

Any one else notice the Dow just took a dive today. Any chance the Stock market is reacting to the passage of Porkulous Maximus in the Senate?

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=%5EIXIC&t=2y&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=

We have many dark days ahead of us

Several talk show hosts were laughed at during the months before the election when they sounded the alarm that the Dmeocrats would move against talk radio if Obama one.

No sources needed here as any one even paying scant attention to the news has heard the calls for a return to the Fairness Doctrine. The Democrats lost power in 1994 and they do not want to lose it again even if that means twisting the 1st Amendment on its head.

The President even went so far as to publically attack a private citizen (Rush Limbaugh). This is not the first time elected officially have publically complained about talk show hosts but it is truly troubling to watch as folks are treated as the enemy in our public airwaves by our rlected officials.

More coal full steam ahead

I am still holding out judgement on this but I am leaning more toward a belief that he is naive and not a liar.

A small group of folks that I work with are vocal supporters of Obama. One of those supporters likes to try to debate me. He is more modearte than most and his comments of late have indicated a growing concern about the stimulus package and actually how successful it will be in turning the country around. However about a week ago he was much more enthusiatic about it and praised the "Buy American" slogans and themes Obama has been clamoring about. My first reactionwas to point out that the World may not be so supportive of such a obvious policy. Now do not misunderstand I believe at all times we, the USSA should do what is in our best interest. Our President should exercise care in his words for such a position is liken to cause a Worldwide system of tariffs and embargoes. History has shown such a course only slows economic growth.

There are a myriad of reasons why this stimulus package will do nothing except place a burden at the feet of our grand children.

The first reason resides in a fundamentally misunderstanding of today's economy and the economy in the USA at the time of the New Deal. During that time, Americans borrowed primarily from Americans. Therefore the debt of the nation was held in the hands of the people of the nation sort of like owning preferred stock in a company. Today this is not as true as much of the USA debt is held by foreigners. Therefore Obama has eseentially 2 sources of funding. The first is to print the money that means more dollars for the same amount of goods. The result is always inflation. The second is foeign investors which lowers the credit worthiness of the USA if lenders can even be found and ultimately a weaker dollar.

The second reason resides in another myth. The New Deal did have some successes in creating roads and power plants to be sure but merely building a road does nothing to increase the productivity of an area. If this worked everyone would do this. The new roads did have a positive effect after and during WWII. The roads reduced the costs of getting goods to market ie made it cheaper for businesses to operate. This stimulus package contains more money for special projects than new roads to lower the costs to industries.

So far I have tried to show why this is destined to fail but let me go a bit further to illustrate a point.

Several States have shortfalls. Several Car manufacturers have short falls.

Someone please explain why the Federal Government is giving money to either of these entities. Also explain why the profit driven businesses have to give a full accounting and are expected to change their policies but the government agencies are getting a blank check. Finally please explain how getting a blank check is going to get the States to operate more efficiently.

To me this is like an engine leaking oil but instead of fixing the engine the conductor says give it more coal.

Darwin convinced the intellectual elite of society in his day of no need to believe in God because his explanation of "natural selection" in Nature solved all naturalistic problems for explaining design and complexity in life, so he thought. Actually, other individuals wrote and published on the subject of natural selection well before Darwin but that is another subject.
Modern Science VS Darwin
The problem that many didn't realize right away in Darwin's time is that "natural selection" has limits. Natural selection is not a creative force. Natural selection can only "select" from biological variations that are possible and that have survival value. Natural selection itself does not produce biological traits or variations. Biological traits and variations are produced by the DNA or genetic code of species. If the genetic information or capability for a particular trait doesn't exist in the DNA of a species then there's nothing that natural selection can do to put it there. Natural selection can only work with the genetic information available in DNA and nothing more.
When it eventually dawned on followers of Darwin that natural selection has limits, they resorted to the belief that genetic mutations would provide natural selection with entirely new genetic information and, thus, evolution from amoeba to man would become possible if given just enough time.
Mutations are accidents (random changes) in the sequential structure of the genetic code and they are caused by various random environmental forces such as radiation. The problem with mutations is that they are almost always harmful since they are accidents in the genetic code. Even if a good mutation occurred for every good one there would be thousands of harmful ones with the net effect over time being disastrous for any species.
At the very best mutations can only produce variations or modifications of already existing traits, but not entirely new traits. For example, mutations in the genes for human hair may change those genes so that another type of human hair develops but the mutations won't change the genes so that feathers or wings develop! Most biological variations, however, are the result of new combinations of already existing genes and not mutations which are rare in nature. Combinations of genes can occur by chance but that doesn't mean that the genes themselves can come into existence by chance!
Sometimes mutations may trigger the duplication of already existing traits (i.e. an extra finger, toe, or even an entire head, even in another area of the body!). But mutations have no ability to produce entirely new traits or characteristics. It would require genetic engineering to turn an amoeba into a human being. Nature does not have the ability to perform such genetic engineering.

Great Article

This is probably the single best article that I have read that quickly and concisely points out the flaws in Carbon Dating.


Are fossils really millions years old?

Haven't geologists proved from scientific dating methods that the earth is 4.5 billion years old? Doesn't astronomy prove that the universe must, at least, be billions of years old since it would have required billions of years for light from the nearest stars to reach the earth? Don't all qualified scientists, including geologists, believe in Darwinian evolution and a billions of years old Earth and universe? The simple answer is "No".
Are Fossils Really Millions of Years Old?
Both evolutionists and creationists have certain built-in assumptions in interpreting and using scientific data when it comes to the earth's age. The issue many times comes down to which assumptions are more reasonable. Dating rocks is not a hard (no pun intended) science.
For example, many times one radiometric dating method will give a vast difference in age from another radiometric dating method used on dating the same rock! Radiometric dating methods have also been severely faulty when tested with the actual historical age of certain rock. For example, Hawaiian lava flows that were known to be no more than two centuries old were dated by the potassium-argon method to be up to three billion years old! (Science 141 [1963]: 634).
The reason for these huge discrepancies is that these methods are based on assumptions that no major changes have occurred in the earth's atmosphere in the past which could have affected the initial amounts and even the rates of decay of the substances involved (Industrial Research 14 [1972]: 15). If, for example, a world-wide flood the Bible describes in Genesis had actually occurred then it would have, indeed, altered the initial conditions so as to make radiometric dating less than an exact science, to say the least. The Carbon -14 dating method has been known to have fifty percent accuracy, but it is only accurate up to thousands (not millions or billions) of years and can only be used on things that were once living.
Complicated as the subject of the earth's age may be, a main reason for why evolutionists believe the earth is many millions of years old is because of their belief concerning how the fossil layers were deposited. What one believes about the deposition of the fossils in the earth will, indeed, determine one's view of the earth's age. Contrary to popular belief, the age of the fossils is not determined by radiometric dating.

Quotes from Thomas Jefferson

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe Thomas Jefferson

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. Thomas Jefferson

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. Thomas Jefferson

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. Thomas Jefferson

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. Thomas Jefferson

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. Thomas Jefferson

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. Thomas Jefferson

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Thomas Jefferson

In light of the present financial crisis, it ' s interesting to read what Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:Banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

and the body count rises

Difficult to find this in the main stream news but a few have started talking about the story out of Mexico. Apparently some 5500 died in 2008 in border towns as drug violence has taken an uptick. Good thing we started building and enforcingour border. Oh that's right our friends in Washington in an effort to court the illegal did not bother to secure our Southern Border. In stead we are building a super expressway so that an invading army, I mean so that goods can move quickly from Mexico to the USA.

http://www.tribstar.com/letters/local_story_031215110.html

Also, the socialist country of Mexico appears to be straining as cut back on wire transfers back to Mexico and in some cases they have gone back. The declining price of oil has not yet hit Mexicos bottom line as the contract is fixed at $70 per barrel. Any one care to guess what happens when and if Mexico has to operate on revenue from $40 per barrel oil. Keep in mind the oil production like many industries in Mexico is controlled by the government.

Maybe we could use those prison camps being built by the government to house the refuggees that will be streaming over the border.

By now we have all read about the so called secret prison camps being built. Like many of you, I thought such stuff was an urban legend. Unfortunately, I was wrong.

Monday Morning Update on National Debt

At the beginning of each month, I will post the total National Debt for the US.

It looks like about $10,639,319,410,269.98 assuming a total US population of roughly 305,575,ooo that is roughly $34,817.39 per US citizen not taxpayer but every man, woman, and child.

In the past, US debt was held by US citizen so no real big deal because US citizens are not going to decide they would rather have the cash now. See the problem yet.

If not then consider the value of a US dollar has declined during recent years in most countries. And now the Democrats are printing money. At what point do foreigh investors decide US currency is not worth the risk?

Putin recently spoke about the idea of discontinuing the use of the dollar in international transactions. This not really a new tactic for Putin as back in October of 2008, Russia and China were talking about switching any from the dollar as the international standard. Yeah I know the mass stream media could not fit in much discussion about this in between American Idol and idol worship.

Some say our children and our children's children will be paying this debt. No our descendants will struggle just to pay the interest.

Thoughts on AntiChrist

Instead of wild theories let us start with the source

Revelation 13 (King James Version)
Revelation 13
1And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

I just could not resist

This is really pointless but still damn funny. Apparently, the power of the One does not extended to opening doors.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/01/28/2009-01-28_hey_bam_thats_not_the_door.html

I know Bush did something similar well not exactly he tugged on a locked door at least he recognized a door as a door.

In classic leftist fashion, the media ran to Obama's defense and blamed Obama's lapse on Republicans because he gave them an icy reception. The One was apparently still reeling for the failure of his powers of persuasion to work on the Republicans.

Man, it is a good thing we stopped having Presidents making contact with foreign countries because I shuuder to think what would happen....

From Russia with Love

Apparently the Russians did not get the memo from the DNC. This article in Pravada.ru http://english.pravda.ru/world/americas/106993-1/ illustrates the true opinion that many in the world have of our illustrious leader.

I am so confused the major newspapers here in the US told me the world loves Obama and our reputation will be much improved. This is not the first article I have read where someone from Russia to England has said much the same. In this article the author says that the Obama campaign was like a Hollywood script. No surprise there since his main supporters are crooks and actors.

Where to begin

The beginning always a tough place for where to start?

Shall I begin by pointing out the absolute lunacy currently running our country and our government?

Or maybe I should start with the so called Republicans from 1994 who once they attained Offices in the Congress suddenly developed into blithering idiots?

Or should we talk about faith?

Or Terrorism?

Welcome to the dissenter's corner

Mad as heck and need to vent somewhere.
