Hmmm...something seems a little fishy!

This excerpt is from the above 2003 New York Times article:

''These two entities -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- are not facing any kind of financial crisis,'' said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ''The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.''

"Mr. Dodd, who has received more contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s political action committees and employees ($133,900 since 1989) than any other senator, didn’t mention lapses in Congressional oversight. Instead, he said he began warning Mr. Bernanke many months ago about the housing crisis, blaming absentee regulators and “reckless, careless and sometimes unscrupulous actors in the mortgage lending industry.”"

Sense of Entitlement - A rant of sorts!

"In clinical psychology and psychiatry, an unrealistic, exaggerated, or rigidly held sense of entitlement may be considered a symptom of Narcissistic Personality Disorder."

So lets look at what this really means: laziness with an unjustifiable increase in self-worth that somehow becomes everyone elses problem. Folks, lets call laziness what it is and quit trying to redefine it as socialism.

I have a real problem with the loony liberal stance that believes the government knows best how to run our society and that a large socialistic and controlling government is better than a small government with a strong capitalistic stance. Socialism has failed miserably in every sense of the word throughout the world. See for yourself that it doesn't work.

How in the hell can everyone be so blind to not recognize that our country has grown to be one of the wealthiest and most successful countries through capitalism. It's only been through the democratic leadership and socialistic type policies that we stand in economic turmoil. The Dems try to give hand outs to everyone because they feel it's best. Well, I am sick and tired of making sacrifices for my country (10 honorable years in the United States Navy), working my ass off to graduate college to better myself and my family, obtain the skills and knowledge necessary to get a solid and stable job - when all I had to do was stand in line with my friggin' hand out! WTF!

We have become a nation of whiners, who are so politically correct in every statement made for fear of offending someone - you know what? SCREW THAT! I don't like liberals/socialists. They are ruining our country. Not only that, I don't like the fact that illegal aliens are in my country and are allowed to work and collect benefits for which they do not pay taxes and do not contribute to in any way. I don't like the fact that I can't pray to my God in school, but any jerk with a koran can kneel and scream to allah to reward him with 40 virgins if he suicide bombs a bunch of innocent and unsuspecting women and children. It's ok for other people to not like Americans and our ways, but by allah, we had damn well better like everyone else. Oh, I forgot, somehow that must be my fault.

I am proud of my country and the fact that I am a free man protected by my constitution and the sacrifices made by so many soldiers of past. However, I refuse to see a bunch of whiny liberal dems ruin this great nation and if you read this and are not as pissed off as I am, then you are no better than they are. Do something about it now! There are many things we can do, such as quit electing idiots to set policy in our country!

Remember that the Declaration of Independence states we have the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". This does not mean we have the right to be happy! It does mean that we have the right to pursue happiness. This means if you live a life of hard work and are a good contributing citizen then you can find happiness. Our country owes no one anything. We are a country of individuals connected by a belief of freedom. My freedom is not defined by a government that runs and controls everything, nor by people like Nazi Pelosi, Hanoi John Kerry or Richard Turban Durbin who want to pass the fairness doctrine. Folks lets get real here. These people have one goal in mind - to rule this country! They are not interested in serving the people's interests, but in serving their own interests. People, it's time to wake the hell up and quit electing these idiots who are no more qualified to run to the store than they are to run a country.

I will close my little rant session by posing this question: Why in the hell is Barney Frank and Chris Dodd not in an orange jumpsuit behind bars?

Obama's 50 lies

I find it interesting that people will listen to a politician and just blindly believe the filth, deceit and blasphemy that spews from their villainous traps. Why is it that so many refuse to listen to actual facts that are presented, yet will stand and cheer when someone makes statements and accusations that are completely unfounded and outright lies? My feeling is that it has more to do with wanting the person they cheer for to be right regardless of if they actually are.

I have this little mantra I like to use as the situation suits..."Just because you say 'it' doesn't make it so!" (You can fill in the 'it' with whatever is appropriate) What does this mean? - If you are five feet tall, you can spend your whole life saying you are six feet tall but it doesn't make you six feet tall.

At any rate - I like to research the rhetoric spewed like fire from these politico dragon types to verify if the fire they breath is actually capable of burning or if it's just 'smoke' and mirrors. The fortunate thing for me is that there are many resources to search and scour. Here is a little example of the Houdini ism being performed by Obama.

Posted on gopusa.com by Cheri Jacobus

From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.

After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.

143 days -- I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that.

In contrast, John McCain's 26 years in Congress, 22 years of military service including 1,966 days in captivity as a POW in Hanoi now seem more impressive than ever. At 71, John McCain may just be hitting his stride.

Think about IT!!! Think you know who this man is? This possible President of the United States !!!

Read below and ask yourselves is this REALLY someone we can see as the President of our great nation!!!!

Below are a few lines from Obama's books; In his words!

From Dreams of My Father: 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

And FINALLY the Most Damming one of ALL of them!!!

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

I am sure everone has read this circulating in email, but I just thought it spoke volumes...

I asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, 'If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?'

She replied, 'I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people.'

'Wow...what a worthy goal.' I told her, 'You don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50.

-Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.'

She thought that over for a few seconds while her Mom glared at me, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, 'Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?

'I said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.'

Her folks still aren't talking to me.

Hey! Let's keep throwing the same solution at the same problem and see if it works this time!

The following stats come from an article by Glen Beck of CNN.

What do the top ten cities with the highest poverty rate all have in common?

Democrat leadership.

Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961; (And the current Mayor just went to Jail);
Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn't elected one since 1954;
Cincinnati, OH (3rd)...since 1984;
Cleveland, OH (4th)...since 1989;
Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican Mayor;
St. Louis, MO (6th)....since 1949;
El Paso, TX (7th) has never had a Republican Mayor;
Milwaukee, WI (8th)...since 1908;
Philadelphia, PA (9th)...since 1952;
Newark, NJ (10th)...since 1907.

It is the disadvantaged who habitually elect Democrats - yet are still disadvantaged...hmmm...

So - Charlie calls Palin disabled and it's ok...

In Charlie Rangel's own words, "You got to be kind to the disabled," he said of Palin.

Charlie Rangel is the one who is disabled. He is a mental midget.

How do you go in front of a news reporter and say something so ridiculous and think you will not be blasted? Well, it's not out of the question to say he may not be blasted throughout the media, because as almost everyone knows, just about the entire media is liberally biased. They will send teams of people to Alaska to try to dig up dirt about a Republican nominee for VP and yet they barely mention this crap. Yet another example of lack of priority in our country!

Oh, and let us not forget that Mr. Rangel is facing investigations regarding financial improprieties. Let's see, he is the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, which is the most powerful committee overseeing tax policy in our country and he owes over $10,000 in back taxes for 2004, 2005 and 2006. Now he states he is being targeted as part of a "guerrilla war" waged by the GOP. No, jackass...they are coming down hard on you because you chair over the committee that sets tax policy in our country and you owe three years of back taxes.

It just blows my mind how idiots like this continue to be elected. The voters again have shown that they are asleep at the wheel! Wow...
