DAY 2: Dear Diary, I keep losing sleep from this awful nightmare: We're up to our eyeballs in chaos, people are being chased from burning buildings, children yell and scream in the streets, some on fire, stumbling away aimlessly, as the flames begin to take them over.
Everything is deathly quiet, except for the very youngest of children. There is a ringing in my ears from the explosion; glass, metal, and wood has been blown in the streets, some still aflame.
The scene changes to me running, trying to get away. I'm grabbing for guns that aren't there along the way, and nothing can repel these creatures that are chasing me in my dream.
And then I wake up.
It was a dream. WHEW. I'm sweating, heart is racing, and I'm glad to be awake, out of that dream.
It isn't long before I'm seeing the day's news: Obama Plans To Close Guantanamo In One Year. Wow. I feel kind of a pang in my mind's eye. A flash of people running. Screaming. Panic in the streets. I'm seeing my dream again!
I wonder how this GITMO extension plays with the Move On crowd. They wanted that torturous stain on our Constitution closed NOW! Yesterday, Barry told us it was only for four more months. Today it's a year. Who knows what it'll be 6 months from now?
What if we capture UBL while Barry is president? Where will Obama keep Osama? If we capture him alive, is there any doubt that to try him in our Federal Court system as if he was an American citizen would invite some anti-American lawyer looking to make a name for himself to mount a defense that actually wins in freeing him? After all, there's no droplets of blood , bloody gloves, bloody Bronco interior or anything!
What if UBL got an extra-special jury like OJ's? That jury didn't know what the words "reasonable doubt" meant, but when they saw the defendant, they knew all they had to know. With an IQ level like theirs, it could happen again in America.
To these brats who gather in the streets for "civil rights" protests, this is all a game of sorts. They'll never feel the real repercussions from their actions. It's easy for them to throw on some stupid orange smocks, lay down in the street blocking the traffic of people who make America possible, and then go home again with their smug sense of self-satisfaction at "showing the man" that "we won't take it".
These overgrown crybabies won't get the bullet in the head from their actions, but one of my brothers in arms will. How I wish the reverse could be arranged.
Only a day later, and Barry keeps revising his policy: this time he plans to keep Guantanamo prisoners for yet another YEAR! While this apparachik in the video above tries to put a happy face on Barry's extension, protestors, Leftists, and Progressives (redundant?) are squealing in horror.
Here's quick article that came out a few minutes ago: here.
POSTER BOARD AND SHARPIES: $8 HAVING YOUR FIRST TEMPER-TANTRUM BECAUSE THE MESSIAH ISN'T TURNING OUT TO BE WHAT YOU THOUGHT HE'D BE: Priceless
Ok, all the pageantry of the day is over. I'm tired, burned out from watching the endless hand-waving and fake looks of surprise/wonder. My other two companion pieces to this one pretty much express my exhausted mental registry of today's events.
This first action of President Obama has to come as a furious letdown: instead of simply closing the Camp Guantanamo Bay right away, like he led everyone to believe he would do, Obama has started a 120-day review of the cases left in Gitmo's schedule of war tribunals. He may find one of these enemy combatants worth detaining, for all we know. After all, he is an attorney.
This has to be a terribly hard pill to swallow for the trust-fund kiddies and homeless-looking women in the above photos.
Four months???? But there are people being tortured right now in GITMO, remember? Your man Barry should be brought up on impeachment charges, by your standards!
How can you save those detainees if Obama might actually keep Gitmo open while he goes forward on a particular case, which could go on and on...keeping the Bush nightmare alive for even more years? Oh, the melancholy you must feel, valiant protestor.
Here's an article on this earliest of action by Barry In Charge:
Hours after being sworn in as US President, Barack Obama has called for a halt to Guantanamo war crimes tribunals, a move which will begin the long awaited process of dismantling the prison itself.
His request for a 120-day suspension of all 21 pending tribunals will bring to a halt the case against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed 9/11 mastermind and four co-defendants who faced the death penalty if convicted.
Military judges are expected to rule on Mr Obama's request to halt the trials today at the US naval base.
The request by Mr Obama was widely anticipated - he had already vowed to close down the prison and its controversial military commission trial system.
"In order to permit the newly inaugurated president and his administration time to review the military commission process, generally, and the cases currently pending before the military commissions, specifically, the secretary of defense has, by order of the president directed the chief prosecutor to seek continuances of 120 days in all pending case," prosecutor Clay Trivett said, in the written request to the judges.
The request said that freezing the trials until May 20 would give the new administration time to evaluate the cases and decide what forum best suits any future prosecution.
About 245 foreign captives are still held at the detention centre that opened in January 2002. The Bush administration had said it planned to try 80 prisoners on war crimes charges, but only three cases have been completed.
Defence lawyers had complained that the tribunals allowed hearsay evidence and coerced testimony, and were the subject of so much political interference that fairness was impossible. (source)
The market experienced its worst innauguration drop since...FDR. The similarities are eery: Democrat Leftist takes control of a Democrat-induced economic crisis, then grows the federal government by massive proportions, using increased taxes to accomplish this. Because government cannot create real economic growth, the Depression lived on for ten years, instead of the fraction of that which could have been America's 30's.
Soup lines lasted because jobs were stagnant. Jobs were stagnant because of high taxation. High taxation was in place because FDR created a network of agencies that were run by Democratic beaurocrats.
Barry sees the same possibilities for the modern Democrats. This crisis will be just the distraction that Democrats need to bring even MORE of our free market under their control: UHC, or universal health care will control 1/6 of our economy alone.
This is a reverand from the days of MLK: he's still caught in those days, methinks. To see what I mean, fast forward to 5:05 on this video, and pay close attention to his estimate of us whites:
Here's what it looked/sounded like when Presiden Bush emerged on the dias to attend the innauguration:
The class of the average Obama faithful can be witnessed in their natural, safe, ungaurded environment in these next many videos. They are snapshots of typical, genuine reactions to the same incident above, when President Bush emerges on the dias which is simultaneously being broadcast on the jumbo screens in the crowds:
LOUD AUDIO: turn down your speakers before clicking!
In this one, there is a lone voice who tries to show some grace and class on this special day, only to be rebuked, eventually being told that, "Look--even Obama's laughing". What's the level of maturity amongst the average attendee, here, do you think? 12?
At least in this one, at the very end of this clip, someone admits, "Hehe...try that in Russia and ya' get shot." The joke is on that entire crowd, but only this one man hints at it. These people are too stupid to appreciate the peace and calm that Bush's policies have brought us, at very little cost, compared to the reality we would have faced without him. Gore would have kept the same paralysis in our intelligence-gathering that Clinton and Carter insisted upon, while looking for legal reasons for a combatant enemy like Usama Bin Laden to be served a search warrant. The enemy wouldn't have been stopped as many times as they were for the last eight years under a Gore administration, but these points require that you've paid attention to things like history and politics. Do these grown adults look like the crowd that can remember what happened 8 minutes ago, much less 8 years ago?
Fast Forward to 1:03, where another lone voice exclaims, "That's not nice", which is covered up by a nearby cackling old woman. The next place in it where the crowd boos President Bush is 1:53.
For me, when I watch all of these "citizens" of this country making this awful display on what is really a sacred day, I feel alone. I couldn't even bring myself to act like that when Clinton, who's status as a draft-dodger and impeached president reviled me worse than any former or living president, even Carter, left office. I wouldn't have thought of it. I don't see these elections as "Your guy lost, mine won, nya nya". I'm too educated about politics to treat it as if it were a football game. These Obama voters in these videos--millions of them, obviously--are cut from the same cloth as those who get into fights at hockey matches, basketball games, or at the club on ladies night. Not much upstairs but ready to yell and chant.
I usually don't quote this reporter's work, but he happens to have the most comprehensive look at this latest issue with Obama's cabinet choices thus far (below). The choice for Treasury Secretary has gone to someone who has been asked to pay back $34,000 to the IRS that he owed in back taxes from as far back as 2000.
He only paid them a few months ago, when he was first tapped as a prospective in O's prospective cabinet. For 8 years this man has been ordered to pay back the IRS money he owed, and he has refused to do so until now.
Perhaps it wouldn't be as alarming as it is if this man were being nominated for, say, deputy secretary of the FCC, Agriculture, etc. However, for such a sensitive instrument in our crisis-ridden economy, right now is not the time to be foisting corrupt leaders on us to fix a corrupt problem.
If Obama sends someone who is damaged goods to a powerful post, Obama then has something he can use to his advantage--power. Just as Edgar Hoover used to accumulate ANY dirt possible on politicians, beaurocrats, citizens, in order to have something he could blackmail them with later, we are witnessing a product of Chicago Politics do what he has been brought up to do.
Why else would a man as brilliant as we are told he is, choose a person as ethically-compromised as Geithner is? After all, he looked us in the eye for the past two years, telling us that the era of 'business as usual' is OVER.
How brilliant and creative are you if you've got a nation of 300 million people and still can't find someone other than a financial executive who willfully failed to pay his taxes for nearly 10 years to run the Treasury Department? We have a boy doing a man's job, unfortunately.
With this appointment (and any, really to cabinet-level status), one can expect LOTS of graft and backroom deals to benefit the secretary for years to come. Maybe even a lifetime. With this appointment, the new Treasury Secretary stands to gain tremendous earning power for a lifetime or two, even.
Obama is still claiming that he made an "innocent mistake". Is this what "Hope" and "Change" mean to you?
WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Barack Obama's choice for Treasury secretary is becoming a national punchline for late-night comics, a clear sign that not paying your taxes is a growing problem in the public's eyes if you're the guy tapped to oversee the IRS.
Obama and many of the senators involved in confirming Timothy Geithner maintain that concerns about his failure to pay $34,000 in taxes isn't enough to cost him the Treasury job, which includes oversight of the IRS and, perhaps more significantly, Obama's economic recovery plan.
But the delay in Geithner's confirmation hearing — now scheduled for Wednesday — means more time for the public's unease with Geithner's problems to build, a fact he seemed to appreciate Thursday. He continued his courtesy visits to Senate offices to personally answer any questions senators might have about his nomination.
The Senate Finance Committee scheduled Geithner's confirmation hearing Wednesday, a setback for Obama and Senate Democrats who wanted a quick hearing this week in time for Geithner to be confirmed on Inauguration Day.
Some senators began receiving calls this week from constituents angry about Geithner, who has acknowledged he didn't pay his self-employment taxes from 2001 to 2004. Newspaper editorials are stacking up. Television and talk radio shows are keeping the topic alive. And comics are making fun of Geithner's revelation.
"Hey, I don't pay my taxes. Why can't I be Treasury secretary?" asked Steve Colbert on Wednesday night's The Colbert Report.
It may be funny to some, but the question is serious, and part of the continuing back-and-forth messages exchanged on Twitter, a free messaging service that allows users to send brief comments about issues of the day from their phones or computers.
"I'm still trying to get my mind around Tim Geithner wanting to collect taxes, but he doesn't believe in paying taxes," wrote Ken Barnes of New York in a message Wednesday evening.
Barnes, 38 and self employed, said in an interview Thursday it wasn't the fact that Geithner didn't pay his taxes that troubles him most. It's the fact that he waited until November, days before Obama announced his nomination, to fix a problem the IRS pointed out in 2006.
"He shows a willful disregard for the tax system," Barnes said. "If he was looking to be secretary of interior or some other Cabinet member, I wouldn't be as sensitive to it."
Transition aides have said Geithner paid the 2001 and 2002 taxes in November, even though legally he was not obligated to so many years later, after Obama's team discovered they were not paid.
Obama has offered his full, continued support for Geithner, saying he is confident the Senate will confirm him despite his "innocent mistake."
The Senate committee considering Geithner's nomination released 30 pages of records detailing the tax problems and other issues discovered after he was nominated. The materials show that the IRS audited Geithner in 2006 for tax years 2003 and 2004, noting then that he failed to pay self-employment taxes while working for the International Monetary Fund.
Geithner also received IMF pay in 2001 and 2002, and he handled his quarterly tax payments those years in the same improper way flagged by the IRS. But it wasn't until his nomination by Obama that he paid those taxes, a fact that's puzzling in light of arguments that Geithner's actions were simply "honest mistakes."
"Even in the best of economic times, it would be hard to accept a Treasury secretary who, after all, is in charge of the Internal Revenue Service with a cavalier attitude toward paying his taxes," The New York Times wrote in an editorial. "Today, in a time of economic peril, the nation cannot afford a Treasury secretary with a tainted ability to command respect and instill confidence."
Late-night comics made Geithner their latest joke.
"You ever notice that whenever a politician doesn't pay their taxes, 'Oh, it's an honest mistake?" Jay Leno said Wednesday night during his opening monologue on The Tonight Show. "You know what they call it when you and I don't pay our taxes? Exhibit A for the prosecution."
Geithner and others have pointed out that tax confusion abounds for employees at IMF and other international organizations who are required to handle all of their own taxes as if they were self-employed. The IRS offered a broad settlement in 2006 to those taxpayers, offering to waive most of the penalties because of the unique problems they experienced.
Most IMF employees who run into trouble with their taxes have problems because they have never filed as a self-employed worker, said one IMF official who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
But Geithner had experience filing as a self-employed worker, handling taxes for a consulting business and for his wife's work, according to a report by the Senate committee.
The real issue is whether the American public sees a problem in all of this, said Linda Chavez, who withdrew her name in January 2001 as President George W. Bush's labor secretary. Chavez came under fire after questions surfaced about room, board and money she gave a Guatemalan woman over two years, a woman she knew was an illegal immigrant.
Chavez said she's struck by how her controversy attracted a swarm of media attention, as compared to moderate interest so far in Geithner's case. But she said the problem is not in Geithner's situation; it's the overreaction in 2001 to her case by reporters and a hyper-partisan Democratic Party still angry about Bush's contested victory over Al Gore.
In Geithner's case, senators shouldn't rush to judgment, but they also shouldn't dismiss his actions as insignificant without asking tough questions, Chavez said. If they do gloss over the issue, they run the risk of leaving the public's questions unanswered about Geithner, Chavez said, who added:
"Is the public going to accept his explanation?" (source)
Ann's appearances on shows like Today, Early Show, and The View, have got to be understood for the full drama that they are. This is not just some conservative author who is being interviewed by a left-wing media. That would be interesting enough.
This woman has really hurt these prima donna's through her laser-like analysis, and they are trying their damnedest to capture just ONE SECOND of an unflattering moment while they have her in front of their cameras. And ANYTHING will do: scratch of the nose, look of horror, snorting laughter, etc. The plastic airheads aren't the only people to worry about, either. Producers (usually younger support staff, trying to do what they have to in order to make it in broadcast media), can keep a camera trained on an unaware person, picking up hushed dialogue [witness the Jesse Jackson flap last year, where he was caught on tape expressing how he'd like to reach out and grab The Great O's twig and berries], or any unflattering face we may make in the course of a ten minute episode. Then make that one unguarded second be the most prominent image we see for the promo of the interview, the still jpg to use as the website thumbnail, etc.
A lot of people are geared towards watching you fall, towards being rewarded by these wounded Barbara Walters for picking up that ugly moment while you're in their midst.
Ann can't relax AT ALL during these red-hot "Gotcha" traps, yet she presents cooly, sophisticated, and sincerely gracious to be there for an interview. Can you understand the pressure that she's under, not only to complete this annual "dance-with-a-bear" episode without blowing up, but to take a punch on live camera like a man? (I'm sorry to be sexist, but there's no other way to express it.) Ann knows that she's coming into a hornet's nest, that Matt will be trying to slam her for what she said in her book, what Harry had someone read to him about CBS anchors, and of course, what four women got themselves in a snit over in her book. Yet she comes willingly, anyway.
Ann is one brave, cool, cat.
It is one thing to be a provocateur. I cite Rush for being one of, if not the best political satirists/provocateur of the last 50 years. But Rush doesn't submit himself to the punnishment of taking these punches like Ann does. Don't get me wrong--he's got balls, for sure. But Ann's got that, too--maybe even more so.
She's been taking her life into her hands with every speaking engagement that she does for many years, and it's all because of a drive to illuminate, to educate, and yes, even to laugh! She is a precious commodity to America, a lonely voice that speaks for all of us Conservatives, and anyone brave enough question what you were taught in high school.
She digests serious, higher-level legal/social issues with wit and humor, painting a picture that is the alternative to the one painted every night by the MSM. If you don't think Ann is brilliant, it's only because you're still brainwashed by public education. Or, you are one of the annointed airheads in front of our tv cameras every day and night.
APPEARANCE ON THE VIEW: This interview went just like the others have, only this time there was a little more estrogen, thanks only to Hasselback.
The tension in these interviews is there from the beginning, as Ann greets the interviewer(s) each time with a cheery "Good Morning". The daggers come out, sections of Ann's book are read out loud as if you were reading the confession of a serial murderer, slow...with pauses...to resonate...in the viewer's ear.
Do these tv bobble heads read with the same passion and glare when they interview despots like Castro or Chavez? There are real men and women trying to destroy America at our doorsteps and in our neighborhoods, but the harshest language directed at an interviewee these days is targeted towards this sleek, beautiful siren who spends the other 364 days of the year away from these red light districts we call television news.
What's the main subject this time? It's the unwed mothers facts that Ann cites in her book. I haven't read her book yet [just got my signed copy from WND in the mail today], but so far, after 5 major cable and network shows have interviewed her, it looks like Ann has done a 264-page analysis of one thing: the sexual mating habits of women. I see the sharks circling around Ann, obviously trying to paint her as cruel and heartless the best their feeble little minds will allow them.
Is there any doubt that the point about unwed mothers is merely an incidental part of her larger thesis, which is that liberals try to turn the guilty into victims in our declining culture? Why not start from the top, perched as any unbiased reader might, and examine the book from it's overall argument, then, in the framework of that context, pull out several salient or weak points as you may find them? Wouldn't we all benefit from a clear-headed, dispassionate analysis of her thinking on any particular subject?
But I guess the IQ of the View and their average viewer is too low to expect a more academic approach to this great mind. It is as if Einstein stepped into a Kindergarden class to talk about gravity.
*sigh*
The things she must do to make a living. The book sells itself to our crowd, to be sure, but to enjoy some better return for the years spent in research, analysis, speechmaking, and weekly output of a syndicated column, this is what must be done. One must dance with the bear if you want to win the prize.
The cackling hens that are trying to tear apart Ann are less trying to remain professional than they are trying to pander to their audience. This wasn't a segment meant to showcase a tough woman who's made her way through a male-dominated industry, relying only on brains, grit, and principles all along the way. These pro-women hyenas tore into Ann in hopes of destroying her, all she's worked for, and all she stands for.
Yet no one sees the irony. Where's the sisterhood? So what if Ann doesn't think like your kind of women? I know plenty more that do. Why couldn't you try to showcase and celebrate one of your kind for all that she has done by herself?
No, the View women couldn't get past their show-Ann-as-cruel agenda, trying to whip up a class and racial response right there with the audience full of women who don't work for a living. These audience members were loud and disruptive towards Ann when she was to reply a few times, but their morals and standards are different from you and me. For me, talking about unwanted, illegitimate births is a serious thing that has some amount of shame and negativity attached to it. That's why I've never done it.
For that crowd, though, it's not.
The only surprise here was that Hassleback had her knives out for Ann as well. I admit to not watching this beauty parlor experience called The View enough to know whether Hassleback acted out of the ordinary, but I had grown to understand that she supports the Conservative cause, to the degree that she understands it.
The moment at the end of this clip shows Whoopi regainning the conversation reigns because she knew they were going to break, needed to wind up the segment, and wanted to throw a zinger at Ann then storm off to commercials. "You can dish it out, but you can't take it", the brilliant sophist cackled at Ann.
Amazing, Whoopi. You, of all people, should know what it's like to be circled by a bunch of angry people who want to string you up, but you sat there salivating as Ann had to spend 10 minutes fending off charges of racism, elitism, (and being a pretty blonde, which they would never admit to being jealous of, but you know it's true), responding to every single rapid-fire accusation that they had been throwing at her...and you felt so little empathy for this woman that you tried to add one more knife to the collection in her back.
And how brilliant, too! The interview is set up for four snarky women to gang up on Ann, arguing that she's many things terrible, then, as this Jet Li-like wizard defends every thrust and perry with grace and exactitude for ten minutes, she faces the charge of "not being able to take it." HA!! That is what you say when you've been bested, dear Whoopi. You couldn't form a real charge of racism, cruelty to single mothers, or even *gasp* daring to "talk down" to the almighty Barbara Walters, (in between her tell-all books about screwing married men who are still married), against Ann, so you had to resort to doing schoolyard antics like the bully you are. You've gotten way too much mileage from being ugly and black.
NEWS FLASH TO WHOOPI: She apparently CAN take it, you washed-up hack, since she's obviously HERE, answering all of your claims, and TAKING IT. When's the last time you made declarations about morality in this country (in a deeper context than being on stage for a few minutes, where you're doing little more than making fart sounds with Billy Crystal and Robin Williams, or gossiping with three white women in an effort to be another Oprah), then went to be interviewed by the very people you criticized?
I decided to get Pam, my girlfriend, a car stereo this year for Christmas. Unfortunately, she couldn't use her factory 6-cd changer anymore when some of the discs I made for her got stuck in the unit, unable to be dislodged. So I decided to get her a new unit alltogether. I haven't ever replaced a car stereo, so this was done with a little uncertainty. She has an Ipod, so I decided to find a head unit (the proper name for a car stereo) that had not only an Ipod input on it, but a USB port as well. The answer: the Kenwood KDC MP438U.
This is what the old factory unit looks like from a rear view: With the hu (head unit) removed from Pam's car:
I admit: The plugs situation sent me to the internet, and then a local car stereo installation shop to find the answer. I needed a specific wire harness that was custom-made to fit the plug assembly for her make and model of car. I purchased an 05 Corolla (6 JBL speaker) plug assembly for 17 dollars at the local stereo shop. Otherwise, I didn't need to purchase anything else, other than the din unit (dash kit) and the stereo.
The attendant at the local car stereo shop was glad to show me the harness I was wanting, but suddenly, after pecking around on his pc keyboard a bit before ringing me up, he gets a serious look on his face, and told me that he's supposed to include a $110.00 pre-amp digital converter if my girl's car was a 6-JBL speaker setup. It was, but this new amp device was news to me. All of the research I'd done, plus seeing the plugs as they were originally plugged, told me to resist his hard sell.
I quickly steered the conversation into deeper details, ("Well, why does the 6-speaker assembly need a digital conversion that the 4-speaker wouldn't", etc) mainly out of shock at the price of this device, and had him unable to answer me within a minute or so. He finally said, "Look man, all I know is that if your stock stereo has inputs like the ones you got in this picture, here", [I printed off a copy of the above photo with "05 Corolla stock radio" in it to illustrate my job needs when I went to the shop], pointing not to the ones that are circled in yellow, but to the ones on the left side of the rear of the stereo, "then I'm supposed to include this amp convertor".
That port looked more like the port on the back of the new Kenwood, and I had been wondering why there was nothing plugged to them when removing it. But the ONLY plugs (besides the antennae) from the Corolla were the ones circled in yellow above, going to the yellow-circled ports above that pic. Nothing was plugged into the left-side ports, and I told him that twice--once in the beginning, then again now.
He said, "If you didn't have cables running to that port, then your car ain't a 6-JBL speaker system--it's a 4-speaker system." triumphantly, with finality, as if there was no more left to say about the matter.
I told him, "I'll take my chances, let me buy the 17 dollar JBL 6-speaker harness for now, and if I need to, I'll come back for that amp convertor."
The new harness is to be connected to the one your radio manufacturer sends you. They look similar, but with different plugs, of course, and maybe some labels, but they are using universal colors in the car stereo industry, so you just merry up color to like color. This is the Kenwood harness that came with the package:
My advice: crimp (with butt joints, not crude splicing with electrical tape) the new assembly to the new stereo wiring harness, which should be included in your new stereo packaging:
After crimping, attach them to the car's harness:
Before attaching the wires:
After plugging in your antennae (single-post adaptor, usually), plug in your new hu:
Slip it in, and carefully snap the dash console back in place:
And VOILA:
All works great, and she's really impressed with the upgrade. I'm happy--she deserves to have nice things. We particularly like the USB port capability, and the dual-zone feature, where the rear speakers play from a different source, in their own "zone". The rear speakers can be playing something from your jump drive while the front speakers are listening to an IPod, satellite radio, a phone call, or, if you care to listen to the museum of broadcasting, terrestrial AM\FM radio and its polished turd, HD radio.
FOOTNOTE: The guy at the stereo shop was wrong, obviously, by saying that Pam's car was a 4-JBL speaker system. I knew that when he told me that I had a 4-speaker setup if those (yellow-circled port above) were the only plugs I had going to the factory unit. Luckily, I had already taken apart Pam's dash before going into this store, seeking a part and advice. That's how I knew for sure that I didn't have to purchase the $110.00 device.
I listened to each of her 6 speakers, all responding in beautiful clarity.
You can practically hear the disdain for business [free market] in this report of the speech above, especially when you get to the end, where Obama’s emphasis is illuminated: “Obama also promised action to address the economy’s ills beyond the package, such as tackling a potential wave of home foreclosures, preventing the failure of financial institutions, rewriting financial regulations and keeping accountable the “Wall Street wrongdoers” who engage in risky investing.” (source)
“Risky investing”???? Screw you, you f*ing punk! “Wall Street wrongdoers” were ONLY put in place because of YOU and your ACORN nuts, your Andrew Cuomo bolsheviks at HUD in the 1990’s, and your lickspittle peckerheads like Bill Clinton. Don’t EVEN act like Wall Street dreamed up these home lending procedures which were the first cancer cells in this crash we’re now experiencing! (free market banks aren’t told to make loans to people who can’t pay them back)
This petty beaurocrat has listened at the feet of communists and socialists all of his life, and it is apparent. He doesn’t have the courage to be a free thinker, willing to throw off those chains of old. The Democrat Party has not evolved for 50 years, and it is obvious to those of us who have paid attention to the past 200 years of Western Civilization. Instead of innovation and production, our economic wizards like Obama and those who feed at the same trough promote niche interests [how many unskilled masses will "green business" employ?] and peacemeal projects ["updating schools and universities"? Who gets those few jobs in select college towns across America--your union thug buddies? What about those of us who don't belong to a union, live out in the boonies, and just lost our job? NEWS FLASH: there's MILLIONS of us. How many universities you got?] as a solution to our global financial crisis.
This idiot drinks from the same well as many fine characters from our past: Trotsky, Stalin, Mao. Where’s the NEW approach from the Left? Where’s the evolution? We’ve had to endure MUCH modification of our Free Market stance in this world (think about how much Adam Smith’s formula has changed), why doesn’t the Left ever have to change and meet us halfway on…ANYthing?
But they don’t. We will be strangled by this new administration, unable to gasp for air. The Free Market’s solution would be to let the markets encounter their corrections, make adjustments, then proceed on an improved path. But Obama will feed this cancer to keep it going, extracting more and more tax dollars from our whimpering freedom, all the time telling us that it was Free Markets that got us here, and that if we were wise, we would stop dreaming about making 100K a year anymore. Just like Michelle said in Ohio, “Don’t set yourself up for that dream job, making that dream salary”. It’s all too hard. And it keeps you from being herded into our circles.
Just your average Zen Baptist, admitting upfront to being a (mostly) reconstructed hillbilly.
If you can't understand the attitude or perspective I come from, it's safe to say that we're from different realities.
