Anita Dunn, Watergate and Chuck Coleson on the same path?
I will leave it up to all of you to research the title and figure it out on your own.
Where on earth does the Whitehouse come up with these foolish hacks?
What is this?
Another diversion for DOING NOTHING?
Like the public does not get this?
This Boo Frigging Hoo crap is really getting old.
Actually I find it fairly refreshing that the middle is finally standing up, fighting back and doing an admirable job to boot.
Afghanistan or not?
I am just a little confused.
Apparently so is Barack Obama.
Now all of a sudden he does not know what needs to be done in Afghanistan.
Don’t I recall he had all of this figured out last March or April … now it’s a problem?
Obama was aware of Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s request since the end of August?
Gee whiz is this another of those “Well George I have more important thing to attend to right now” moments? You know one that did not fit into his scheduled photo ops or requests for the Olympic gold? So let’s back burner this request and pray the information does not get to the public?
Obama had no time in the last 79 days to see HIS OWN SELECTED GENERAL? Oh right he was to busy with all those television interviews.
OPPS!
When everything else is an emergency that needed to be pushed through yesterday?
Oh wait could it be the emergency stuff only has to do with income redistribution and lining his or his buddies pockets?
Money ripped from the pockets of the working class to REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH in order to enslave those who do not or choose not to work.
So why the change?
Obama is so stuck on himself? … from his own comments all over the world he thinks he can charm our enemies into just putting down their weapons?
I am not for war.
In fact unless we are attacked on our own turf (this time we were) it’s probably a good idea to keep our nose out of everyone else’s business. HOWEVER we have men fighting for our freedom and it is THE RESPONSIBILITY for this inept weak man to support them to the fullest … OR GET THEM OUT OF HARMS WAY IMMEDIATELY!
I hope this is not another Vietnam where we did a half assed job and caught our military in the middle.
I DO NOT want to see another Jane Fonda moment with Sean Penn sitting on an enemy tank waving a flag for our enemy to beat us. Nor do I want to see our men returning home to be spit upon because they did the job some “snot nose kid” was to cowardly to do on their own behalf.
Oh wait Obama and a good percent of those in government are those “snot nose kids” or their issue.
Mr. President! … get a back bone … dawn a flack jacket and give the general YOU PUT IN CHARGE what he needs to win or GET YOUR LAZY ASS out of Afghanistan.
IT IS THAT SIMPLE!
Dollar Collapsing as the President Pushes Health Care Takeover
Dutch seaport in 1638 at the height of mercantilism.
Meanwhile while healthcare is pushed the dollar is collapsing. Despite losing 10.3% in value the last six months the president and his brethren seems oblivious or unconcerned. World banks have switched from acquiring 63% (1999) of their foreign currency reserves in dollars to 37% today and the drop is escalating. The national deficit is approaching $12 trillion dollars with $1.4 trillion just in 2009. Simply put the Federal Reserve is flooding the US and the world with devalued dollars.
Merchants in Venice 1732
Obama and his advisors would argue that the cheaper dollar makes American goods more competitive overseas creating a more favorable balance of trade payments. Not good arguments considering the Asian economies are export orientated economies and they will be forced to restructure to the new America and its weak dollar. But let’s give the administration the benefit of the doubt. So the dollar cheapens and our exports are cheaper overseas. Fine but what about that cap and trade legislation that will dramatically increase the cost of energy to domestic manufacturers? With the increased cost of imported energy as the dollar loses value (66% of our crude is imported) combined with cap and trade taxes on energy our domestic manufacturing base could potentially be destroyed or seriously damaged. One of the few areas of competitive advantage American manufacturers has with EU and Asian competitors are our relatively cheap energy supplies. Take that advantage away and what do you have? A very limited amount of domestic manufacturing capacity and a scramble by the few big firms to gain monopoly status in the US marketplace.
This has been done before. It’s called mercantilism. This is the theory and system of political economy prevailing in Europe after the decline of feudalism, based on national policies of accumulating bullion, establishing colonies and a merchant marine, and developing industry and mining to attain a favorable balance of trade. It was practiced in the 16th and 17th centuries. Basically the federal government set up monopoly industries that gouged consumers in the homeland, locked out domestic competitors, and sold goods as cheaply as possible to foreign countries. It was discredited by Adam Smith and others. Eventually in the 18th century people got fed up with these policies and trade was liberalized. The industrial revolution made it very difficult to reign in domestic competitors competing in new industries. Standards of living increased and society moved on.
All these tricks and attempts by Obama and his advisors have been done before. His fascist takeover of the banks and key industry players like GM and GE. Hitler did the same thing with Mercedes and the German banks. National health care is a main component of control over the masses both in communist countries and fascist Germany. Mercantilism? A bad economic policy discredited long ago but still attractive to control freaks the world over including China today.
And where does it all lead to? With the increased immigration of millions of Hispanics without full citizenship rights basically serving the same function of Negros in the 18th century, servants without representation beholden to special interest. In the 18th century it was slave holders. Today it is democrats and unions. Backwards economics policies that will impoverish the people. Dictatorship in Washington. Where can any rational person think this direction is taking us? Economic and civil calamity.
As I said before the state legislatures need to be very aware of what is going on and be ready to succeed from the union when the time is right. Learn money and banking and have local banks versed in how to issue local currencies.
And how do we know when that time has arrived? Well in the former USSR there came a point where they could not borrow. The state treasury was tapped out. The money was useless. Workers pretended to work and employers pretended to pay the workers. Edicts of new production quotas came out of Moscow on a regular basis and factories reported the quotas were meet. It was a fantasy game and all played it until one day the Berlin Wall came crashing down and the pretending was over and reality set in. Countries told Moscow they would be independent and passed along some cash. Moscow unable to pay anyone anything accepted the cash and left. It was a peaceful transition of power. The central authority simply spend itself out of existence much like Washington today with all its grandiose propaganda that is believed by the dull witted, ignorant and evil.
Someday the people of America will unite against the federal government. Illegal immigrants will be sent packing. Affirmative action will disappear. Federal power will be decentralized. And the people will be able to live in freedom and liberty as it was in the past. Freedom isn’t free.
