eMail to the "Faithful"

 
A friend of mine - one of the true "Obama Faithful" - writes me, nay screams at me, taunts me, that home sales are UP almost 10%...durable goods UP almost 5%. Both absolutely true. But wait. Let's look a little closer: home sales are up almost 10% from last month BUT they are still DOWN almost 30% from just last year! D'ja get that? Since last year & let us not forget how dismal last year was! OMG!!! ...& durable goods are up almost 5% but remove automobiles - & all the "free money" through the gov't largess (out of YOUR pocket, mind you, chump) from the equation & it falls to less than 0.8%! OMG!!!

All you O'bama supporters are fucking gullible fools! You're in denial. You hear what you want to hear, believe what you want to believe - never mind the simple facts! ...never mind the truth. "Oh, no, denial 'feels' so much better."

You're gonna' get exactly what you deserve - which makes me "feel" better - only problem: I'm gonna' be dragged down w/ you - & that doesn't make me "feel" warm & fuzzy.

You're all a bunch of disingenuous morons or at best, frightened children.

Why is it that the "Obama Faithful" will not brook any discussion about the President, the present government or the state of affairs? When asked for facts, what one can expect is invective. Even in the darkest of times w/ the Bush-admin people would have dialogue - no matter what their position. Not now. That truly frightens me.

"Terrorist" - a definition:

 
n. systematic covert warfare to produce terror for political coercion

Now I ask you, what or who(m?) does that sound like?
Our President?
Our government?
...how unpatriotic of you!

Hey, you racist morons -

I just read a column x DeWayne Wickham in today's USA TODAY. If that column is on the up-'n-up - GET YOUR HEAD OUTTA' YOUR COLLECTIVE ASS! If it's just some more "disinformation" blowin' smoke, ok, but if it's not it - that mind-set - cannot be allowed to stand.

First, I've turned about as anti-government as anyone, but the white-supremacist thing & personal attack on the President ARE UNACCEPTABLE...GET THAT!

Ya' wanna' "get" someone? How about the biggest thief, the likes of which this country - nay this entire planet - has ever seen? I refer you to Henry (Hank - to his friends) Merritt Paulson Jr.? Have you people gone so crazy that maybe the US Military are called for to keep the peace? ...& I can't believe that I just wrote that!

If that column has any validity, I'm scared . . . shitless.

Guest Commentary:

 
"I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."

--Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Charles Jarvis, 1820

Imagine that!
What a revolutionary concept.
Get it?

Now this is interesting...

I have a simple question: what is the issue? If these clowns are getting public money, the public has a say in what happens to it. No? Fine. No money. What is the discussion? Have we been so habituated to getting screwed (The Paulson Position) that this article doesn't even seem strange?

So shut-up - you get what you settle for.

Guest Commentary:

"...And here's the real punch line. After playing an intimate role in four historic bubble catastrophes, after helping $5 trillion in wealth disappear from the NASDAQ, after pawning off thousands of toxic mortgages on pensioners and cities, after helping to drive the price of gas up to $4 a gallon and to push 100 million people around the world into hunger, after securing tens of billions of taxpayer dollars through a series of bailouts overseen by its former CEO, what did Goldman Sachs give back to the people of the United States in 2008?

Fourteen million dollars." (in taxes)

Guest Commentary:

"The (tax) numbers for 2009 are striking, head-snapping. But what really matters is what happens next," he said. "If it's just one year, then it's a remarkable thing, but it's totally manageable. If the economy doesn't recover soon, it doesn't matter what your social, economic and political agenda is. There's not going to be any revenue to pay for it."

--William Gale, co-director of the Tax Policy Center.

Hey, hold on here...all we need do is print up some more! Yeah, that's the ticket!! No problemo!!!

howl . . . 09.08.04

This is still the greatest country in the world.
Not because of the government - in spite of it.
It is because of "We the People..."
Allow me to say that again: "It is because of us."

...but I'm truly at my dim-wits end w/ it all.

"They" have broken the social compact.We have no social obligation to our gov't because the gov't is no longer ours; one another, yes; the gov't, no; The Constitution, yes; DC, no.

It is not a travesty or any other flippant word one can come up w/, it is shameful...& we should be ashamed that we have allowed it - & continue to allow it - to happen.

I am ashamed I've allowed it to happen. I am ashamed that I continue to allow it to happen. I am ashamed that I am impotent to do anything about it. I am ashamed that I've allowed myself to become impotent...but again I ask simply, "What can we do"? "They" hold all the cards. The 500+ crooked self-serving DC morons hold 300,000,000+ of us captive...& what is the manacle they use? Fear. Fear based on force. Hummm, that sounds suspiciously like a definition of terrorism.

How have we gotten here?

I'm not a terrorist.
Are you a terrorist?

"They" ARE the terrorists!

Shame on us all.

...written today?

"Only a large-scale popular movement toward decentralization and self-help can arrest the present tendency toward statism.... A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers."

-- Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)

Politics as usual...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama's treasury secretary (Timmy "The Weasel" Geithner) said Sunday he cannot rule out higher taxes to help tame an exploding budget deficit...

...Whoa! I'm shocked! 1) campaign rhetoric: "...you will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime." - Democratic candidate Barack Obama. 2) question: how can you pump trillions of unsecured dollars into an economy & NOT have "...an exploding budget deficit..."?
Answers: 1) lying politician; 2) Eco 101...

...and his chief economic adviser would not dismiss raising them on middle-class Americans as part of a health care overhaul.
