All Texan's Must Act Now! M.P. Hill

To All Texans

 

            If you love your state, love your country, and love being able to spend your money on what you are your family need rather than paying people to sit on the couch and watch TV, then read on. 

            Right now our Governor is leading the fight for each and every citizen in this great State of Texas to not end up paying half of their income in taxes due to the stimulus package.  He is inspiring others to follow him and to look closer at what the supposed stimulus package really is.  And he’s making it clear to the rest of the country what a governor is supposed to do—fight to protect his people, even from higher taxes.

            However, our Senate is fighting against him on the unemployment portion of the stimulus funds.  They passed a bill to go around the wishes of Governor Perry and take those funds any way.  This bill is now in the House.  WE MUST CALL OUR REPRESENTATIVES NOW!!! 

            They need to know that we don’t want to take additional funds from the Fed that will lock us into higher taxes for the duration, long after the federal funds are gone.  They need to know that the people don’t want higher taxes in this state.  They need to know that we don’t want to join the rest of the nation in being taxed into poverty and bankruptcy.  They need to know we support the Governor on this venture and that a vote against him is a vote against the citizens of Texas and they will be the ones finding themselves in the unemployment line in 2010.

            Go to http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/mnuAddress.aspx and find out who represents you then call them and let them know where you stand and that if they want to keep their job they will do it the way we the people of Texas tell them to.

Conservatives and Veterans Considered Extremists. by Melissa Pehle-Hill

I look at the title of this article and I wonder how far things have gone when our own Department of Homeland Security would issue a report to all law enforcement agencies calling conservatives and veterans "extremists" and threats to national security just because we disagree with her and Obama on the issues.

Since when did it become a crime to disagree with your President? It certainly wasn’t the case over the last 8 years or we wouldn’t have had to listen to the constant attacks on President Bush.

So, what makes Napolitano think that ostracizing such a large part of Americans is going to help this administration? Do you think their plan is to make it illegal to disagree with the usurper presently holding the office of the President? Something tells me that won’t work because they have obviously forgotten one thing the rest of us haven’t—the United States of America is a nation comprised of people who are willing to fight for freedom! And the best part is that in this case we can win the fight without firing a shot. All we have to do is exercise our right to vote and replace them—then we have won.

Transcript: David Hill's Tea Party Speech in Tyler Texas

How does it feel to be a part of history?!

We are all here exercising our 1st Amendment Right to Free Speech as well as the Right to Peaceably Assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
And let me tell ya’ folks, I have some grievances to redress.

For the past two decades our elected officials have spent more money than they had to spend which as of September 24, 2008 had us at 9.7 trillion dollars in debt.  Now just 7 months later they have spent an additional 3 trillion dollars and have taken that number to more than 11 trillion dollars in debt.  Instead of taking the path of fiscal responsibility and learning from their past mistakes, they have taken on the attitude of an irresponsible child with their first bank account.  That attitude says, “I can’t Be Broke---I still have checks left”.  Now they have passed a new budget that will leave us more than 21 trillion dollars in debt in less than 5 years.  This debt is unsustainable; the interest payments alone will be higher than the total tax dollars collected by the IRS. 

This will bankrupt the United States of America and I say “No---Not on my watch”

Melissa Pehle-Hill Tea Party Speech Transcript

Transcript of Melissa Pehle-Hill's speech from the Tea Party in Tyler Texas.

First let me say I’m thrilled to see all of you here and I want to thank you for coming. It does my heart good to see people out here readying for the fight to regain our country.

So, how do you like the tour of Europe that Barack Obama went on? It looked like he was still campaigning, didn’t it? And that brings two questions to my mind—what is he campaigning for and why are we footing the bill? I ask these questions with the full realization that all Presidents visit foreign dignitaries after taking office, but in this case it is different. After all, all previous Presidents upon arriving in Normandy visited the graves of our fallen soldiers and he didn’t and none of them before were going around apologizing for the behavior of America, saying we are arrogant and that we don’t acknowledge the leadership role of Europe enough. Can you imagine the outrage from the Mass Media if President Bush had uttered those words in his sleep, let alone on foreign soil? Or President Clinton for that matter—considering they would actually likely know if he said it in his sleep.

And, I just have to add this before going back to talking about the misuse of our tax dollars—what do you think about our President bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia?

RE: The Declaration of Independence Has Been Repealed

I found this post on Dick Morris's blog and could not help but comment.

On April 2, 2009, the work of July 4, 1776 was nullified at the meeting of the G-20 in London. The joint communiqué essentially announces a global economic union with uniform regulations and bylaws for all nations, including the United States. Henceforth, our SEC, Commodities Trading Commission, Federal Reserve Board and other regulators will have to march to the beat of drums pounded by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), a body of central bankers from each of the G-20 states and the European Union.

The mandate conferred on the FSB is remarkable for its scope and open-endedness. It is to set a “framework of internationally agreed high standards that a global financial system requires.” These standards are to include the extension of “regulation and oversight to all systemically important financial institutions, instruments, and markets…[including] systemically important hedge funds.”

AMERICA’S NEW ANTHEM -----“WHAT HAVE WE DONE” by Gen. Jim Cash

After all the warnings, hand wringing, and savage talk, America chose to do what would never be thought possible only a few years ago---elect a far-left President and Congress hell-bent on "CHANGING" this country into a Socialist State. Sometimes, I wonder how many Americans understand what this really means. My thoughts initially were to give the new President a chance, and not make snap decisions based on out-of-control rhetoric during the campaign. Well, that worked well, and now we are beginning to see that the President is doing exactly what he promised during the campaign, and NO ONE LISTENED!!! The masses were overwhelmed with silver-tongued, no-logic promises that most knew could never be fulfilled.

Soon, the American people will have witnessed enough of this madness. They are a smart lot, and when they have seen enough they will start to ask the big question, "WHAT HAVE WE DONE"? However, the real question will be, "IS IT TOO LATE"?

I do not wish to dwell on the multitude of mistakes that have already been made during the first 60 days of this administration, both foreign and domestic. It must be obvious even to the fiscally irresponsible far-left that the nation is heading unimpeded toward bankruptcy. We hear the President speak often of the deficit. He is not talking about the national debt. He is talking about the rate in which we are increasing the debt. So when he says he will cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term, he is actually saying he will cut the rate at which the debt is increasing by the end of his first term. That is absolutely not good enough. Even Bill Clinton, with the help of a Republican Congress, showed a surplus in deficit spending for a short period. That is accomplished only when you have a growing economy. Now equate that to our economic situation today, and it is obvious this is just another fabrication conjured up by this administration. AMERICANS WAKE UP before it is too late. It is highly probably that the debt is not repayable even as we speak, and it is growing at the most alarming rate in history. Just the annual interest on the current debt is larger than our annual military budget.

A Nation of Fools by Peary Perry 03-25-09

Well, you have to give Barack Obama credit for one thing.

No other president that I know of in history has managed to screw up so much in such a short period of time. He is the champion.

Where to start?

How about his screw up with the teleprompter (you know that device he uses whenever his mouth moves) when the Irish Premier was in town. The Irish Premier got confused reading from the teleprompter and Obama stepped in to help out. Lots have been written about who said what and so forth. I suppose my question is simply this….when will we ever see Obama WITHOUT a teleprompter? Last nights news conference showed that he is obviously aware of the fact that everyone knows he is dependent on this device. Last night he moved (not very effectively) the teleprompter from a desk model to one about the size of a drive in movie screen at the back of the room….see http://features.csmonitor.com/politics/2009/03/24/obama-ditches-teleprompter-for-drive-in-theater-movie-screen/

Anyone recall what he did to Gordon Brown (UK Prime Minister) when he was here a few weeks ago? Generally the two heads of state exchange gifts that have some meaning. Brown brought Obama a pen made from the wood of a ship that had historical meaning. Obama gave Brown 25 DVD’s of American movies. Wow…. is this significant or what? As if Brown could not afford to buy these for himself. A gift from Walmart. How touching. I’m certain old Gordon will hang onto those for years to come. What was the historical significance of DVD movies to one of our strongest allies? What about his removal of the statue of Churchill from the Oval office and its return to England? If he didn’t want it in his office, why not just put it somewhere else but not send it back as if was an abomination to him? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/22/obama-returns-churchill-b_n_168919.html

What a message from a Marine

From Paul Vallely, Standupamericausa.com

This Marine seems to hit all the salient points......

Robert A. Hall is a Marine Vietnam veteran who served five terms in the Massachusetts state senate.

I'll be 63 soon. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce, and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired. Very tired.

I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth around" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy or stupid to earn it.

GENTLEMAN / GUNS / EQUAL by Jim Murphy

Wednesday - March 11, 2009

Greetings from the West Texas Jingoistic Association For Gun Clinging Smear Merchants.

GENTLEMAN:

This week I received some sad news out of Hobbs, New Mexico. The father of one of my good friends passed away. The man's name was James Burton Veteto. The obituary did not give his age but I am sure he was in his mid - late eighties. I hear the term "Gentleman or Gentlemen" use quite a bit and I am sure that it fits with some and not with others. But I lived in Hobbs, New Mexico for 30 years and knew quite a few who deserved the title of "Gentleman". Mr. Veteto was certainly one of them. I was close with his son Mark who I try to see every time I return to Hobbs for a visit. Mr. Veteto always treated me with kindness and I know he was well respected in the community. He was a very successful businessman and I valued his opinion on most matters. I saw him often when I visited with another very good friend who was his neighbor. Every time I hear the term "Gentleman" used I try to think of all of the people with whom I was fortunate to come into contact, who happen to fit that description. Mr. James Burton Veteto is always one who comes to my mind. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family on this day.

EQUAL:

There was an article this week in our local newspaper, "The (Sub) Standard Times" [for those of you residing in the 'People's Republic of San Francisco, the (Sub) was my own addition]. This particular story dealt with an Iranian woman who now lives in Spain. This woman, in 2004, had acid thrown in her eyes causing her blindness in both eyes. Well the wonderful Islamic court system in Iran has ruled that the victim was entitled to blind the defendant, BUT she was only entitled to blind the man who had blinded her in only one eye. This is according to the Islamic law system of "quisas", or an eye-for-an-eye retribution. Because in Iran each man is worth two women she is only entitled to pour acid in one of his eyes. What a great system. Religion of Peace my backside. Every time I hear some politician sounding off about the Nation of Islam being a "Religion of Peace" I want to send them to one of those countries to live for a year or so and see if they come back with the same attitude.

Letters From North America by Peary Perry 02-22-09

So much to write about, so little time.

What do we have time to focus on this week? The economy? Nope, that’s being talked to death. Corruption? Where can we start? Unqualified politicians? Not enough time.

How about taxes? That’s a good idea and one we can all identify with. It seems to me that about 200 and some odd years ago, we protested  taxation without representation. Having sat through last weeks vote on the stimulus bill which no one in Congress had the time to read…isn’t that what happened in front of our very eyes?

The bill, as I understand it, was about 1100 pages in length and came out of committee about fifteen hours before it was voted upon. Obviously no one in this country had a chance to read the thing in it’s entirety before it came up for a vote. So, how can anyone say that the bill was passed with any level of understanding and comprehension? They can’t. So how can any politician honestly tell us they are representing us in this largest of all tax bills?

I don’t think they can.  The current mentality seems to be something along the line of … “We must do something, even if it’s wrong.” I don’t agree. The free market will naturally correct itself, if left alone. People will buy and sell things when the prices for those things reach the correct level. Just because you buy a house does not mean that the house you bought is guaranteed to go up in value by 20% each and every year. This is foolish thinking and has gotten a lot of people into financial trouble. Once the housing market stabilizes and gets to the realistic true value of the properties, then the market will start to expand and grow once more. Pouring more money into it, does not solve the problem.

Stimulus / Stuff by Jim Murphy

WEDNESDAY - February 18, 2009
 
Hello once again from the West Texas Headquarters Of The Culture Of Corrupt Jingoist Smear Machines.
 
STIMULUS:
 
Let me get this out of the way first;  NO  I  HAVE  NOT  READ  THE  STIMULUS  BILL.  So that makes me at least even with the majority of the House of Representatives and the United States Senate.  None of them have read this idiotic piece of legislation either.  Oh, some of them probably read small parts but I'll wager that the only parts they read were those which dealt with their own particular district or state.
 
According to some of the information which I read, California was first with funding for 1971 projects;  Florida was second with funding for 1752 projects;  and Texas was third with funding for 1240 projects.  Now since I live in Texas I believe I have a right to sound off on the $10.7 BILLION Taxpayer Dollars earmarked for my state.
 
Leading the State of Texas in hog meat is the City of Dallas with nearly $1.3 BILLION;  Followed by San Antonio with $1.07 BILLION;  Followed by Austin with $1.03 BILLION and Houston with a paltry $588 MILLION in swine handouts.  Now I am not going to bore you with everything on which these funds are being spent but San Antonio has $10 MILLION earmarked for upgrading the Alamo Dome.  Now I am sure that the Alamo Dome probably could use some sprucing up but this is a stadium owned, I believe, by either The City of San Antonio or Bexar, County.  So why should taxpayer money from other parts of the state and nation be used to improve something which is owned by the government in that area?  Actually that doesn't gripe me as much as the  $18 MILLION earmarked in Austin for a boardwalk around "Lady Bird" Lake.  But I imagine that quite a bit of this so called "Stimulus Package" in every state is going to be blown on similar projects.

FOCA BO by Melissa Pehle-Hill

    Now that we have a new President, and one that is well-known for supporting abortion, we truly need to keep watch on the happenings in Washington and remember what it come Election Day of 2010 and 2012.  That is, of course, if you are concerned with either the moral issues of killing unborn children or the reality that if abortion continues at this rate, eventually this country’s very existence could be in danger.  Like Russia, we could end up with problems of reduced population.  They had more people dying than being born and they got to the point they had enough concern that they were actually offering I believe around $5,000 to families if they had a second or third child.  Is that what we want for America?  
    Barack Obama, before winning the election, told Planned Parenthood, “The first thing I'd do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act.  That's the first thing I'd do.”  Now, what is the Freedom of Choice Act and how does it work?  Is this something we should be concerned about?
    Well, the FOCA is a federal bill that would basically remove ALL restrictions from abortions in America.  Not only would it bequeath unlimited taxpayer-funded abortions on demand, it also includes these other changes:
*End parental notification or consent for abortions performed on minors
*Mandate taxpayer funding of abortion
*Allow abortions in military hospitals
*End waiting periods before having an abortion
*Overturn laws requiring informed consent prior to abortion
*Deny doctors the right to refuse to perform abortion for religious reasons
*Force religious affiliated hospitals and facilities to perform abortions
*Overturn many abortion clinic health regulations
*Overturn laws prohibiting abortion after the viability of the child
*Legalize partial-birth abortion

A Nation of Fools by Peary Perry 02-09-09

When I was in the army many years ago, we spent a lot of time trying to teach young soldiers how to perform close order drills. You could always count that one of the members of your platoon would be out of step. I can tell you that more than one once I heard one of my men tell me … “I’m not out of step….all of you are….”

Well, as Yogi Berra used to say… “It's deja vu all over again". This morning on one of the Sunday talk shows, Congressman Barney Frank was being asked why the American public had lost confidence in the United States Congress in view of all of the recent issues with tax cheats, lobby violations and other issues. Congressman Frank was quick to point out that “We didn’t just parachute in here, the voters sent us to Washington and (basically) it’s their fault for not holding us to a higher standard.”

Say What?

I don’t seem to recall single campaign advertisement in which some political wannabe makes a statement that he or she is going to steal, cheat or lie about their efforts once they reach public office. In fact, most of the advertisements I’ve seen say just the opposite.

Stimulus of Socialism? by Melissa Pehle-Hill

I keep hearing everyone complaining about the TARP bailout and the planned stimulus package put out by Obama.  What I’m not hearing enough is people bluntly saying that if any Representative or Senator who votes for both of these (or in my opinion even one of them), and against the millions of people who contacted them through email, phone, fax, and letters, need to be sent to the unemployment lines at our first opportunity.

 
Yes, that, my friends, is what needs to happen.  Nothing less will suffice as these people took an unprecedented step toward socialism against the express wishes of their constituents.  In so doing, they, in essence, told the people who put them in office that they will neither abide by the Constitution they swore to uphold nor by the wishes of those who voted for them.  Instead they are doing exactly what they want without a single thought to how it will affect the people of this generation and many generations to come.

 
Is that what we sent them to Washington to do?  Did we send them up there to represent us or did we send them there to do whatever they wanted like a bunch of college kids on their first year away from home?  I don’t think they care, but we must, and we have to hold them accountable for an action such as this.

Welcome to the U.S.S.A! United Socialist States of America

Well America, YOU ASKED FOR IT!

Bailout, Bailout, and more Bailouts! Insurence, Banking, and now Auto Manufactures all in our governments hands.  Now doesn't that inspire HOPE! oh yes, CHANGE too!

In the words of Thomas Jefferson in 1802:

'I believe that 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.'

Sleep Well,

American's For Prosperity Press Release 12-03-08

For Immediate Release: December 3, 2008               Contact: Cindy Mallette, (512) 476-5905

 

Governors Just Say “No!” To State Bailouts

 

Americans For Prosperity Supports Texas and South Carolina Governors For Defending Taxpayers In Bailout Vote

 

AUSTIN─ In a political culture that rewards fiscal irresponsibility, Americans for Prosperity-Texas praises Texas Gov. Rick Perry and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford for standing for taxpayers and opposing federal bailouts for state governments.

 

“Americans for Prosperity is grateful for these leaders taking a strong stand against state bailouts,” said Peggy Venable, AFP-Texas state director. “It is shocking that federal tax dollars from Texans could be directed to states facing bankruptcy because of their own irresponsible fiscal policies.”

 

“ Texas leaders have exercised fiscal responsibility,” said Venable, “and we are entering this coming session with an $11 billion budget surplus thanks to taxpayer and job-friendly  government policies.”

 

“Texans should not be expected to send their tax dollars to any other state, let alone one that continuously hurts its own economy through heavy taxation and irresponsible spending practices,” Venable said.  “Government bailouts and irresponsible government spending are leaving our children a legacy of debt.”

Feeling The Pain by Bill Ryan

November 10, 2008

Bill Ryan

We have somehow gotten to the idea that life is supposed to be painless, and when the unpredictable throws a rock or two, or a boulder, in our path someone, other than ourselves, is supposed to remove the obstacle and smooth the path. 

Over the past 75 years of so, that someone has been the government.       

President-elect Obama, as did President Bush, wants to help the America through the current difficult economic times, but is that appropriate considering the natural fluctuations of the market place?  Such aid is described as “compassionate” and “needed,” and has been provided before, but is that the role of government, and does it in fact help, prolong, or actually do more harm than good? 

Scholarly analysis of the New Deal programs has determined that many, if not all of the efforts to correct the market actually exacerbated the financial malaise, thus extending both the impact and the duration of the depression.  In addition, not often mentioned in history books, is that the government actually punished certain segments of the population, like black southern farmers, by their market management policies.  In summary, the depression would have ended sooner and with less financial disruption had FDR just let the market work.

For the true American Patriot, the results of this election are nothing to celebrate.  The election of Barack Hussein Obama may very well mark the end of the Greatest Nation our planet has ever witnessed.  I am not saying this because he is black but because of his position or lack of position on many of the most important issues we as Americans face.  One of the issues our future President is against is our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.  Since the inception of this great nation, the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms has protected and fed our families.  In this modern age, the right to bear arms is as important as it was 200 years ago but now we depend on this right more to protect our families than to feed them.  If the economic situation follows the path it is currently on, the need to protect our family will increase as the fire of the failing economy is fueled by Democratic Social manipulation in the form of programs designed to take from those who are successful and give to those who are not. Desperation leads to violence and violence must be countered with force.  Our 2nd Amendment insures that we as individuals have the ability to defend ourselves against violence directed at us.  Following are 4 statements by our Founding Fathers.

A Nation of Fools by Peary Perry 11-04-08

I was raised in a middle class family. I knew we weren’t rich, but I didn’t think we were poor either. We always had a roof over our heads, heat, and food on the table. I had several pairs of shoes and got new blue jeans (I hated those) each year when school started. Most of my friends were in the same situation.

But, that’s where the similarity stops. I grew up in a school district with rich kids. I’ve often said it was like growing up in a vacant lot next to the bank. These kids were really wealthy. These were trust fund babies, mailbox money kids. I knew our family was different when I was working in a grocery store after school and one of the girls in my class came in with her mother. As I was sacking their groceries I heard the mother announce that she had forgotten to bring the coke bottles for the deposit. Her daughter didn’t know what a bottle deposit was.

Right then I knew there were people living in this world unlike myself. I cherished those bottles. You got two cents for cokes and a nickel for Canada Dry bottles. I cleaned out garages for free, if they would give me the bottles for payment.

A Nation of Fools by Peary Perry 10-29-08

Over thirty years ago, I took part in a security training program outside of Washington, D.C. During the ten days or so that I was there, I met a number of federal agents who told me a number of stories, most of which would verge on the brink of unbelievable. One of these stories concerned President Kennedy and a decision he was said to have made one evening while sailing around D.C. on the Presidential yacht. According to one of the agents, President Kennedy had consulted with a number of his closest friends and had decided to leak our atomic secrets to the Soviets so there would be a mutual respect for each other and, in his opinion, reduce the threat of a nuclear war.

Now, in all honesty, I have no clue as to the truthfulness of this statement, but at the same time I have no reason to think the men telling me this were lying to me. I just don’t know.

What I do know is this, last week; someone who reads my columns sent me an e-mail and advised me to order a book called “Keynes at Harvard”. I found it on Amazon and must admit to you it is one of those books you will find hard to put down once you get started.

It is a handbook on socialism in this country. It was written in 1960.

The book explains how an economist named John Maynard Keynes got his socialist theories to be the order of the day at Harvard University. George Will (columnist and commentator) recently wrote “There are more Marxists in the Harvard faculty than there are in all of Europe.” The book goes on to state that the center point of the socialistic movement was the law school at Harvard.

Socialist, Math, Acorn by Jim Murphy

Wednesday - October 28,  2008
 
Greetings from the West Texas Regional Chapter of Vast Right Wing Conspiratorial Gun Clinging Sons of Jingoism.
 
Let me begin by voicing my opinion of the media coverage of the election up to this point.  ENOUGH!  If I hear the terms "Battleground State" or "Swing State" another time, I fear for anyone within my reach (family and friends excluded).  These are a couple of terms which have been completely over used by the media mutts.  Doesn't it make sense that ALL  STATES are in fact "Battleground States"?  If so, then doesn't it also make sense that if all the votes have been cast; and most of the results from the majority of the states are known;  and neither candidate has a clear victory at hand;  and  neither has enough electoral votes to claim victory; wouldn't it be possible for several or perhaps all of the remaining states to be "Swing States"?  Now for those of you residing in the "People's Republic of San Francisco" the remaining states would be able to "Swing" the election toward one particular candidate.  Ah, but not so.  Our idiot mainstream media, no, let me rephrase that, ALL  OF  OUR  MEDIA have already decided which states are "Swing States" just as they have decided which states are "Battleground States."  Just as they have decided who should be our next President.
 
So if the thought of the news media, and particularly the far left socialist leaning mainstream media, choosing our next President doesn't bother you then read no further.  The brutal truth is that NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Time Magazine and several more, are all in the tank for Barack Hussein Obama and have all attempted to do a real hatchet job on Sarah Palin.  Have they succeeded?  We will find out next Tuesday.
 
I believe it was yesterday when I had my TV on FOX News and it was in the time slot in the afternoon when Shepard Smith was hosting the program.  He had a telephone interview with Joe Wurzelbacher (to clarify this for the Freedom Loving Residents of the Socialist Workers State of Massachusetts, this would be Joe the Plumber").  Let me say at this point that I know several good people who live in the State of Massachusetts, however the majority of the voters in that state have chosen "Fat Teddy", John Kerry, and Barney Frank as elected officials so the sanity of the majority of the Massachusetts voters is definitely in question.

Tracking the Bailout ~ Transparency? D. Hill

As most of my regular readers know, I was dead set against the Bailout of our Financial Institutions.  I also firmly believe that this was a major step towards Socialism.  Regardless of my feelings or the feelings of most of the citizens of the United States, our government went ahead and instituted the 700 Billion dollar move towards Socialism.  One of the things they (our government) promised was transparency.  Well, let's talk about this for a minute. 

I found an article today that talks about the first of many "Deals" stemming from this Bailout.  As I expected, the details are kept secret.  I was under the impression that Transparency meant we would be able to see what was happening as the "Deals" were struck.  Apparently, I was wrong, the dictionary I use must be different from the one they use. Go Figure!

I found a website dedicated to watching the money set aside by the Bailout Legislation. www.bailoutsleuth.com   Here is the beginning of the article I mentioned at the beginning:

The Treasury Department has hired two big accounting firms to help keep tabs on the government's financial-industry rescue program, and once again certain basic elements of the deals are shrouded in secrecy.

A Nation of Fools by Peary Perry 10-23-08

In November of 1989, I was in Germany when the Berlin Wall started to come down. My friend and I drove to the border where we could see East Germany. Parts of the wall were already destroyed and I brought back two bricks. Later that evening, my friend took me to dinner at his parents’ house where I met his sister and brother-in-law. His brother worked for Volkswagen in Germany and seemed a affable sort of fellow. During the dinner, the conversation turned to politics and it was apparent very early that he believed in a socialistic society. His concept was that no one should earn or receive more than 3,500 marks (before the Euro) per month, no matter what their job was or what they did for a living.

Having been in business for myself virtually all of my adult life, I took exception to this idea and told him it would destroy the concept of entrepreneurialism in any economy. He strongly disagreed and said that his plan would give everyone the same advantages and would be fair to all. This would eliminate class distinctions.

Then I asked him if he thought it would be fair for someone, like a doctor to have gone to school for eight or ten years or a attorney, should they be limited to only 3,500 marks per month as well?

“Yes, they should” was his answer and he was sincere.

Then I asked why anyone would want to go to school, or work twelve and fifteen hours a day to get a business up and going if their income was going to be the same as someone who didn’t have an education or who didn’t want to work. Who would want to do this?

He said that everyone would want to do so. If you had a good work ethic, then you wouldn’t mind working harder so that others could have a better lifestyle. It was your patriotic duty to do so.

I sat there in amazement at one of the most absurd things I have heard come out of anyone’s mouth in all of my years. The sad thing was he wasn’t kidding. He was dead serious.

A Nation of Fools by Peary Perry 10-16-08

You can stick a fork in me, I’m done. I cannot watch any more of the election news or reporting this year. I am fed up and will spend the rest of this month quietly reading a good book in some dark room of my house.

In my opinion, if you have not made up your mind as to who you want to vote for in the upcoming Presidential election, you must have either (1) been held in solitary confinement in a prison or (2) in the far off reaches of outer space or (3) you are too dumb to participate in the electoral process.
 
Up until last night I had fairly high hopes for our party in this country to pull it off and show the fundamental differences between liberal and conservative philosophy. But, alas it was not to be and last nights display showed me (along with many others) that in spite of months of rhetoric and name calling, it is still them… (Congressmen) and us.

The Financial Crisis -- A Story of Institutional Arrogance and Corruption

M-A-S Readers,
I received this in an email and even though I do not know the author, I decided to post it.  I hope to contact Robb and ask him to be a regular contributor to our blog.
David A Hill

THIS INSIGHTFUL ANALYSIS WAS WRITTEN BY MY NEPHEW  HE IS  INVOLVED WITH TERRORISM, AND HAS TRAVELLED ALL OVER THE WORLD INCLUDING SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE MIDDLE EAST INCLUDING IRAC.  HE HAS ALSO SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN WASHINGTON, AND WAS AN AID TO A NEBRASKA CONGRESSMAN. HE HAS A B.S. DEGREE (WITH HIGHEST DISTINCTION) FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA AND AN MBA (ACCOUNTING) FROM ARIZONA STATE.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, I AM (ALWAYS HAVE BEEN) VERY PROUD OF THIS FINE YOUNG MAN.
 
RON  
All,

I started thinking more about this when some of you asked me about it; I presume because of my undergrad in Economics degree and my experience on Capitol Hill.  I promised you I would do some research before I could make an informed opinion.  I am writing this for you, my friends, to share with you some of the stunning things I found upon research.  Feel free to share these thoughts with anyone you know, and be certain that any comments on possible criminal activity is based on my impression of what I obtained from public information. 
The big question everyone will ask is, who's to blame?  There is blame to go around for everyone.  The very short answer is that the housing boom, combined with proponents of lower income loans (largely Democrats) lit the fire.   The fire was fanned by poor decision making by financial institutions and field by corruption.  The Republicans and the current administration are guilty of continuing the champion some of the policies that started this storm and share some responsibility for not championing action sooner.  And the Fed bears some responsibility for not foreseeing the downside of its super low interest rates.
And the Senate and House banking committees were not only negligent in their duties of oversight, but perhaps were so due to their own criminally profiteering from this situation.

BI-PARTISAN/DEBATE/REACH by Jim Murphy

Wednesday - October 8, 2008
 
A pretty hot welcome from the West Texas Branch of Vast Right Wing Conspiratorial Gun Clingers.
 
Last night I tried to watch the John McCain -  Barack Hussein Obama debate.  I found it to be incredibly dull and really without a whole bunch of substance.  As you might have guessed, I am NOT an UNDECIDED voter.  At this late stage of the game, if an individual is UNDECIDED then he or she, as the case may be, is in dire need of an intelligence transfusion.  While attempting to get excited about this debate, all the time knowing full well that The Missouri Breaks was showing  on the Western Channel, all I heard was pretty much the same old stuff.
 
There is no doubt in my mind that John McCain is light years ahead of the ultra liberal Senator from Chicago.  While John McCain did point a few well deserved fingers at Obama, I personally thought he spent way too much time telling us about his ability to "Reach across the aisle" and work with Democrat/Socialist Senators naming "Fat Teddy"(this would be Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy);   Russ Feingold; and a couple of other far left loons.  Every time I hear the term "Reach Across The Aisle" I can't help but think of the reasons given to "Reach Across The Aisle".  The only valid reason I can come up with to "Reach Across The Aisle", particularly to reach Fat Teddy or Russ Feingold, would be to choke the crap out of them both.
 
But we all know that what today's politicians mean by "Reaching Across The Aisle" is to work in a "BI-PARTISAN" manner with a bunch of socialists who have absolutely no intention of giving in to any conservative thought or suggestion.  I have had about enough of bi-partisan behavior.  I am about ready for so called conservative politicians to just stand up for what is right.  Stop giving in to these far left leaning bozos.  Remember, giving in is EASY.  Standing up for what is right is HARD.  These people are not elected to take the easy way out.
