The economy is in shambles. The Senate is attempted to create a healthcare bill (which by the way, the senate creating a bill is unconstitutional in & of itself regardless of it's content). American society is as idiotic as ever. So what does this hopeful young & change-ish president do? Well he emits tens of tons of emissions by sending two separate jumbo jets to Copenhagen so he could push his adopted hometown as a possibility for the Olympics. He <em>did</em> take the time to speak with his top general in Afghanistan about a report filed in August for 25 minutes while aboard Air Force One. This entire debacle has shown such an incredible arrogance in the administration that I find myself once again ashamed of this president. Meanwhile we have the stupidest President in history telling us that Conservatives are angry because we just don't like black people. I think that one of my Libertarian friends at wakeupamericans.webs.com said it best like this:<br /><br />"Dear Senator Sherrod Brown:<br /><br />I oppose the cap and trade bill because………Obama is black!<br /><br />Instead of wasting two sheets of paper I can simply use one sheet. Hell, I can just jot it down on a post card and save postage! Wow! Thank you Jimmy Carter!"<br /><br />If there was anyone with an intelligence quotient higher than that of Forest Gump's (I believe Gump said his IQ was 76) working in the administration, then we wouldn't have to deal with this crap. Robert Gibbs would have publicly disapproved of Carter's comments on behalf of the president citing something to the effect of "Everyone has a delusional uncle".(Then again if this administration was smarter than Forest Gump, Robert Gibbs wouldn't have a job)Rahm Emmanuel would have said that the demonstrators on 9/12 represented a large portion of Americans, rather than the admittedly simple "They're wrong". If this adminastration had a worker who was actually thinking for a change, our policy on Iran wouldn't be "We'll worry about it once they get nukes." Why is Iran getting nuclear weapons even considered a possibility by this adminastration? <br /><br />Because I can't really think of a way to end this entry eloquently I think I'll just say:<br />Thanks for reading,<br />~Dr. PeteDr. Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15746719001014182485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997113772837703350.post-81315405071427142152009-09-10T21:23:00.002-05:002009-09-10T21:47:47.731-05:00Will The Real Americans Please Stand Up!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHuzRuFQFo0&feature=fvw<br /><br />Believe it or not this article was actual inspired by the Toby Keith video linked above. I will be posting this on <span style="font-style:italic;"></span> of my blogs & syndication.<br /><br />With 9/12 just around the corner & the debate on health care heating up, it's hard not to be excited about the conservative movement. If you want to read something positive, just stop now. I'm not about to claim that America is on the right track, or that it's even getting better. I do not see a light at the end of the tunnel. I do not understand how anyone can. Over the summer I did very little in politics, mostly because I was suffering from what some might call depression. Most of my writings from that time period were too negative to post, but I have decided to sum them up here.<br /> America has become a cesspool for corruption & greed. Our politicians are liars & most citizens accept that fact. Why is this? Are you & I, the patriotic, thinking Americans the cause? Of course not. We look at the world from a sensible point of view & have our priorities straight. The reason we are in this mess is because for the past decade we have been a nation in excess. There's generally nothing wrong with excess but unfortunately excess sometimes causes laziness. Americans got lazy. The generation who are of voting age now grew up caring more about music, movies & television than politics. This has carried over to my generation. I was having a conversation about health care reform with a friend at school this morning & someone turned to me saying "Can you guys stop talking about that, it's not even important." The person then proceeded to start a conversation about Jon & Kate Plus 8. This is this is the world we live in.<br /> The current voting generation has been brainwashed into thinking that E News is more important that Fox News. They have a tendency to look towards celebrities for political information. This is a disgrace. To think that these people have children! Imagine what my generation will grow up to be! Let's get a quick preview shall we?<br /> On Tuesday I was told by a fellow student at my high school that I should have to watch the President's speech to minors because "He's the President & you have to do what he says." That of course was a less informed, less intellectual teenager. Let's take a look at what the "thinking" teens have to say. Liberal teen blogger Markus Batchelor once told me that quote "sometimes the Constitution has to be usurped in order to pass legislation" He is absolutely right. The problem is that legislation which usurps the Constitution is <span style="font-weight:bold;">unconstitutional!</span> Some of these people will be voting in less than a year.<br /> I suppose I can't ask where <span style="font-style:italic;">my</span> America has gone because my ideal America hasn't existed in my lifetime. I do ask you this though, where has YOUR American gone? Where are the patriots wiling to take a stand against liberalism & flat out idiocy? Where are the great Americans who value politics more than Jon & Kate Plus 8? Where are the people who believe that the Constitution is the most important & binding document in American history & will do anything to protect it? Will the real Americans please stand up?Dr. Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15746719001014182485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997113772837703350.post-18008590928844239072009-07-20T21:03:00.001-05:002009-07-20T21:05:44.301-05:00Barbara Boxer, Racism<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4FoekBjhtWE&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4FoekBjhtWE&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Dr. Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15746719001014182485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997113772837703350.post-55112530292490642942009-06-23T11:09:00.001-05:002009-06-23T11:09:17.642-05:00You're Being Lied To & I'm Not Going To Stand For It!I hope he fails. Can we take a look into the actual meaning behind those words? The political arena has become a world of name calling & lies, especially on the left. Recently on his radio show Rush Limbaugh said "I Hope He Fails" when speaking to a caller. The audio & video clips of this occurrence have gone viral, but how many people are getting the real meaning behind the words?<br /><br />I'm about to tell you something you probably were unaware of. A few days after his now infamous show Rush Limbaugh...actually...clarified! (gasp!) I'm sure you never knew this, nor did you know Rush EVER clarified on ANYTHING. That's the side of Rush the big 5 don't tell you about.<br /><br />But in fact later that week he said and I quote: "In terms of policy obviously yes I want him to fail! Mr. Obama's policies not failing would mean failure for the country. In terms of Presidency I hope he succeeds! I hope he's the next Ronald Reagan! Remember folks, there's a difference between policy & presidency."<br /><br />Now that's weird! That doesn't sound like mean, old, greedy, fat, Rush! That's because Rush isn't really that mean. He's not that greedy. He's not that old. He's not that... OK fine, I'll give you the fat one. But do we see the media reporting this? Of course not. Tingly Leg Man, I mean Chris Mathews will never talk about the clarification. The New York Times will never have a headline reading "Policies Are different that presidencies!". Why? Because they only show the side of the story that THEY like. The side that best pushes their agenda.<br /><br />In another case the liberal media attacking a private citizen, a local weatherman in Tampa was put on Keith Olberman's "world's worst people" list. All five of Olberman's viewers watched as he described the evil weatherman's despicable acts. The truth is that the Tampa weatherman simply stated that due to recent ordinarily warm March weather here in Florida many scientists were beginning to question global warming. He also stated that several climatologists believed were were in a cooling period & had been for the last ten years. Pure evil!<br /><br /><br />So what am I saying? I'm trying to get the point across that maybe, just maybe the people you're getting your news from are corrupt. Maybe, just maybe you're being lied to on a daily basis. And maybe, just maybe you'll be one of the few to do something about it.Dr. Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15746719001014182485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997113772837703350.post-15905496762105484132009-02-01T18:17:00.003-05:002009-02-01T18:19:46.675-05:00New Ben & Jerry's Flavor: Barracky RoadThis one made me mad when I heard the name, then I read the description!

Can I get you to put your name at the end of each post like I do "-Dr. Pete". That would be great. Well I'm happy that Doug is back. He'll be making his BTR re-premier tomorrow night at 8PM Central. Though it does contradict the schedule for Jenn Of The Jungle I will be listening to it. I want to hear the first hand experience of what happened & I also want to invite Doug onto my show Tuesday night. Predictions are that Doug & his guest's shows will raise in ratings by atleast 20%. With that much ratings on the line I'm hoping Doug's possible guest spot will raise mine to an almost equal amount. Right now my Tuesday night show is struggling as it is the same time slot as Loki's Halls Of Valhalla. I hope you will all listen to Doug's show tomorrow night & My show Tuesday night for the account of what has happened.Dr. Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15746719001014182485noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997113772837703350.post-64720973179152524562008-12-19T18:21:00.000-05:002008-12-19T18:22:21.593-05:00HillariousHere's a forward I got from a cousin the other day. Usually they suck but this one was pretty good!<br /><br />For those that don't know about history ... Here is a condensed version:<br /><br />Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.<br /><br />The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:<br /><br />1. Liberals, and<br />2. Conservatives.<br /><br />Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.<br /><br />Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.<br /><br />Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.<br /><br />Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided. <br /><br />Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.<br /><br />Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.<br /><br />Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.<br /><br />Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.<br /><br />Here ends today's lesson in world history:<br /><br />It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it.<br /><br />A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to tick them off. <br /><br />And there you have it. Let your next action reveal your true self.<br /><br />HAHAHAHA!!<br /><br />~Dr. PeteDr. Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15746719001014182485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997113772837703350.post-62384299347862583482008-12-04T21:52:00.003-05:002009-03-28T15:48:03.169-05:00Osama Bin LegoFox News- "The Islamic terrorist figurine called 'Mr. White' that has sparked controversy<br /><br />A Lego-style figurine resembling an Islamic terrorist strapped with and made by a small American company has caused an uproar among Muslims and non-Muslims alike.<br /><br />The controversial miniature figure, created by Seattle-based Will Chapman as part of his BrickArms military fighters line, is a bearded militant with a face-covering hood, a tiny toy assault rifle, a little launcher and plastic that can be attached to an es belt.<br /><br />The character is called "Bandit — Mr. White" and sells for $14.<br /><br />The jarring toy has outraged the British Muslim organization known as the Ramadhan Foundation, which called the figurine "absolutely disgusting," according to Sky News."<br /><br />Bout time somebody started tickin off some muzzies.

But Obama, who will not assume the presidency until Jan. 20, is the first living politician to have a holiday declared in his name. Two weeks ago, Perry County in Alabama approved a paid holiday, on which public employees will celebrate the historic nature of his victory as the first African-American president.<br /><br />"In America, we celebrate historic events with holidays," said Commissioner Albert Turner Jr., who was the sponsor of the resolution passed in a 4-1 vote by the Perry County Commission.<br /><br />"Never again will this event occur in which a person of African-American descent will be the first African-American to assume the office," Turner told FOXNews.com."<br /><br />Are you kidding me?

Now with Christmas right around the corner & with 25 days left until everyone's favorite holiday, I thought I would let you in on a new campaign of mine, only from Dr. Pete. Screw The Holidays is a campaign I have just come out with. I will be uploading a letter on to the blog soon. What I want you to do is print it out, sign it, date it & send it out to as many department stores as you can think of. The letter will basically inform the franchise that you, their customer, would not care one bit if you stopped shopping there & that you intend to do so if they do not cease saying "Happy Holidays" to customer & begin saying "Merry Christmas". I will be attempting to get the AFA (American Family Association) on board with this. Now I invite you, if you are a bigger blogger than me, to take this & run with it. Give it your own name, create your own letter, I don't care. What I care about is getting our message across, that the American shopping industry can go Screw The Holidays!<br /><br />~Dr. PeteDr. Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15746719001014182485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997113772837703350.post-32760990544621125782008-12-01T19:46:00.002-05:002009-03-28T15:49:09.025-05:00CNN- "After eight years as senator from New York, Hillary Clinton is trading places, moving from Congress to the incoming administration.<br />Former President Bill Clinton has been mentioned as a possible replacement for his wife in the Senate.<br /><br />Former President Bill Clinton has been mentioned as a possible replacement for his wife in the Senate.<br /><br />On Monday, President-elect Barack Obama announced that he asked his former rival to be his secretary of state.<br /><br />That means the scramble begins to replace Clinton on Capitol Hill.

A short burst of activity, spurned on by the industry builders intentions to close their books on projects by the end of the year encouraged a slight, but short, increase in the sales of new homes in some areas around the country. The quick rise of hope, however, was short lived, and immediately afterward the numbers dropped lower than they had been in the months previously.<br /><br />I never believed the short, but sweet, activity in construction and the real estate market would eventually become a new boom, or that the housing part of the overall economic picture would ever be what it was during the previous housing boom that came crashing down a few years ago. In fact, I am sure there is nobody that truly believes that we will ever reach that level of growth in the real estate market again. I did, however, hope that the activity I saw at that time could possibly be an indication that the bottom had been reached, and a new steady rise of consumer spending in the housing industry may stop the hemorrhaging.<br /><br />Earlier this year I also indicated in a couple articles that I believe we are not in a recession, nor would we go into a recession should the government stay out of the way and allow the free market to adjust itself naturally as designed by our founding fathers. That is how Capitalism works. Ups and downs historically have created a roller coaster ride of statistics that, through the natural adjustments of the market, partly due to the habits of the consumer, would never allow the system to plunge into a deep depression as long as outside entities such as the government decide to refrain from manipulating the market in order to save us from such an economic catastrophe.<br /><br />A number of liberals have been sending me messages and comments calling me an idiot and a liar because, as you have probably noticed, the economic downturn has been steadily worsening, and based on my articles of optimism, and the liberal subjectivity and misunderstanding of the written pieces, I obviously (to them) did not know what I was talking about. They have erroneously assumed that optimism considering a possible turn-around on the horizon must mean that I was somehow predicting a one hundred percent increase in the economy, and a return to the glory days of a robust economic engine.<br /><br />Of course their attacks are an example of a very typical liberal attitude - always looking for that "Gotch'ya" moment.<br /><br />I, like any other normal human being, understand that nothing is ever "for sure," first of all. Secondly, if these smear merchants of the fringe left were to read what I wrote carefully, rather than with subjective intentions, they would have noticed I repeatedly indicated that we would be fine economically <em>without</em> government intrusion. Capitalism is a self-correcting system, with mild highs and lows that are exaggerated whenever artificial manipulation by government bodies are applied. In short, any government intrusion through bailouts or over-regulation, regardless of the wonderful intention to save us from economic disaster, is literally turning us headlong into economic woes that even Jimmy Carter couldn't create.<br /><br />Contrary to what the biased media and liberal Democrats are telling you, this is not the worse downturn since the Great Depression, and the Republicans are definitely not at full fault for the current financial difficulties this nation is facing.<br /><br />However, if the government doesn't step aside right now and get out of the way of the American Free Market, if the weakest links of the economic system are not allowed to fail and fade away or be engulfed by larger and stronger institutions in their corner of the industry, and if the consumer (and government) doesn't stop living beyond their means while gladly accepting government welfare checks, we will be in for an economic disaster beyond imagining.<br /><br />On the horizon are worse things than a housing downturn, credit crunch, and rising oil prices, should the current move towards more government involvement in the economy continue.<br /><br />But are we currently in the worse economic pickle since the Great Depression, as the Democrats and Barack Obama proclaim, and ran their campaign on as they crammed unwarranted <em>change</em> down the throats of the unassuming voter?<br /><br />Let's take a look at the numbers and decide from there.<br /><br />When it comes to economic statistics, most will tell you the true indicator of a recession is the Gross Domestic Product, or GDP. This number is the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States. And the <a href="http://www.bea.gov/national/nipaweb/TablePrint.asp?FirstYear=1930&LastYear=2008&Freq=Qtr&SelectedTable=1&ViewSeries=NO&Java=no&MaxValue=25.9&MaxChars=5&Request3Place=N&3Place=N&FromView=YES&Legal=&Land=">Gross Domestic Product did indeed decrease in the third quarter of 2008</a>. . . but this hardly makes for a recession. Aside from a meager 0.2 drop in the fourth quarter of 2007, the last time we have experienced a negative percentage change of the GDP was -1.4 during the third quarter of 2001 - a number nearly triple the -0.5 we experienced last quarter. Negative numbers also appeared during the first quarter of 2001 and the third quarter of 2000. Some may say that those were a residual effect from the Clinton years.<br /><br />If you compare the third quarter of 2008's drop of -0.5 of the GDP to the -3.0 of the last quarter of 1990, or the -2.0 of the first quarter of 1991, the current strain seems to be a minor hiccup. The numbers after the end of Jimmy Carter's mismanagement of our economy are even more alarming (-7.8 1980 2nd QTR, -0.7 1980 3rd QTR, -3.1 1981 2nd QTR, -4.9 1981 4th QTR, -6.4 1982 1st QTR, -1.5 1982 3rd QTR). Judging by the GDP, this is hardly a recession, and hardly the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. However, in order to convince the people that the Republicans were bad guys, and "Change" was the only thing that could save us, the Democrats had to paint the economy as gloomily as they could.<br /><br />Some folks quote the <em>unemployment numbers</em> as being an indication of a recession, and that unemployment is spiraling out of control worse than any year since the Great Depression. The <a href="http://data.bls.gov/PDQ/servlet/SurveyOutputServlet?data_tool=latest_numbers&series_id=LNS14000000">current 6.5 unemployment rate seems high if you compare it to the numbers over the last 10 years</a>, even though the percentages remain within a point or two of each other all the way through that period. During the <a href="http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1528.html">Great Depression unemployment rates </a>topped over 20%, and in some years nearly reached 25%, well above the current 6.5%. <a href="http://www.economagic.com/em-cgi/data.exe/feddal/ru">In 1975 the unemployment rate was 9.0, in 1982 it reached over 10%</a>. Once again, though the unemployment rate is higher than it has been in the last five years (and among the highest over the last ten years), it is hardly as high as it has been before, and hardly at a point that it will take major government influence to save us from disaster.<br /><br />My point, I believe, is clear. The media and the liberal left created hysteria about the economy being the worst it has been since the Depression, and they did so soley for political reasons. It turns out that not only is this liberal information not true, if anything, our economy is only experiencing a minor bump in the road and has been essentially healthy over the last eight years of President George W. Bush. However, the bailouts, increases in taxes (business taxes, capital gains taxes, estate taxes, etc.) that Obama has suggested, and other government manipulation can (and will if put into place) send us into an economic direction that could prove to be exactly what the Democrats were swearing we were in the midst of already. </div><div> </div><div>As Ronald Reagan proved after the recessionary years that followed the disastrous Jimmy Carter presidency, Fiscal Conservatism can not only change the direction of the economy, but lead us into years of prosperity. This is why it is so important that we begin now in planning to place Conservative Republicans (not moderates) into Congress in 2010 (as happened in 1992). The last time that happened, during the early 90's, the budget was balanced and the country returned to a few years of economic prosperity. However, if we do not inject fiscal conservatism back into the government, and get liberal government out of the way of Capitalism and the Free Market, then what we are seeing now will continue to worsen, until finally we will wind up in a full blown recession with the Democratic Leadership fumbling around searching for excuses and opportunities to blame someone other than themselves.</div><br /><br />By <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/politicalpistachio">Douglas V.

One of the things I did was go see American Carol. Here's my reveiw.<br /><br />Plot: Terrorists, feeling they need a new recruitment ad, enlist the help of "Michael Malone" a Liberal documentary maker. He agrees to help them on one condition, the movie has to be HIS script. While this is all happening Malone is working on a Campaign to abolish the fourth of July. He is visited by four spirits (General Patton, George Washington, Trace Adkins & JFK) who help him learn the true meaning of July Fourth.<br /><br />Good- This is a Conservative film with lots of punches at the Left. It shows support towards the military as it's strong point. It seems to really do it's purpose of getting under the Left's skin.<br /><br />Bad- These guys don't know what they've come across on some of this stuff! They don't use the majority of their stuff nearly long enough. I am still begging to see more Rosie O'Connel! <br /><br />Conclusion- This is a great movie that will keep you laughing from start to finish.

The borrowers, fueled by the greedy hopes of selling their houses for a profit in a couple years, bought homes they could not afford with loans that were destined to increase in cost should they not unload the home in time. The banks failed to raise enough cash to reassure the investment community they would be able to survive a severe downturn in United States home prices.<br /><br />Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, in order to encourage more buying, and in an attempt to push their profit margin to the limits, relaxed their standards in order to buy more loans. Wall Street banks also lowered their standards in the hopes of cashing in as well. Greed and arrogance carried the wave for a short time, but like with anything, what goes up must go down.<br /><br />A glimmer of hope popped its head up last Spring when builders began building the final build-outs of projects, and a number of them sold rapidly. Industry experts hoped that the industry would see these few sales as a move back in the right direction, and held their breath for a moment to see if a new bubble would begin to expand. However, cautious in this new housing environment, the builders remained happy to only work on the final houses of their last projects so that they could simply close their books on the projects by the year's end. No new projects emerged, as some had hoped, and the bubble deflated before it had a chance to grow.<br /><br />Now, the banking industry is in a crisis. As usual, there are those faint little calls by some Americans screaming, "The government has to do something about it!" And so, as some would expect from a President with Globalist leanings, and a Congress with the hopes of America becoming a Socialist Nation, the government has announced that it will take over the two mortgage giants, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.<br /><br />It is being called a monumental move designed to protect the mortgage market from the failure of the two companies. The intervention will cost taxpayers billions, and the news of this governmental takeover of the banks follows news that more than 4 million American homeowners with a mortgage, a record 9 percent, were either behind in their payments, or in the process of foreclosure.<br /><br />The two mortgage giants lost $3.1 billion from April to June, half of that coming from risky loans with ballooning monthly rises. While the companies claim to have enough resources to withstand the losses, the belief is that at the current rate of loss their financial cushions are not enough, and the companies will eventually find themselves in a position of not being able to fund their operations.<br /><br />The result of this "rescue package" is the exposure of taxpayers to billions of dollars of potential losses, a wipe-out of common stockholders, and it could end up being costly to scores of investment, banking, and insurance companies.<br /><br />Fannie Mae was created in 1938 in an attempt to increase home ownership across the United States, and to enable Congressional Oversight into the industry. The sale of the idea to the American Public was that everyone had a "right" to home ownership, and the government was going to make sure it happened.<br /><br />Thanks to Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Socialist Programs of the New Deal, the notion that it was an American's "right" to own a home by means of government subsidies was so firmly entrenched in the American mindset, Fannie Mae not only grew, but in 1968, as a part of Lyndon Johnson's societal engineering agenda, Fannie was converted into a private corporation and the ability to guarantee government-issued mortgages was switched from Fannie Mae to the federal government's newest creation, Ginnie Mae (Government National Mortgage Association). This meant that Fannie would begin to operate with private capital on a self-sustaining basis.<br /><br />In 1970, Fannie Mae was authorized to buy conventional mortgages, and by the 1980s it began to purchase second mortgages and adjustable-rate mortgages. In the 80's it also commenced its mortgage-backed securities scheme.<br /><br />Between Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (another GSE), the largest source of cash for home buying in the United States was in existence, and they accounted for almost 50% of all mortgage bonds sold through April of 2007. Since the beginning of 2006, however, over fifty mortgage companies discontinued operations, claimed bankruptcy, or sought a buyer. Fannie Mae, however, continued to flourish until recent months. Since the end of March 2007, Fannie Mae's stock price increased by almost 20% whereas the S&P 500 Index had risen only 8.1% by July of that year.<br /><br />Fannie Mae was a New Deal innovation, created by and for the federal government. This gives it different abilities and freedoms than your usual corporations, which are generally chartered by the states. The sole purpose of this federally chartered, quasi-private entity was to directly intervene in the housing market while avoiding a more conspicuous regulatory apparatus governed by rules. This allowed the government to advance and steer the government's progressive entitlement programs put in place by the New Deal without anyone ever really taking notice. Meanwhile, Fannie Mae expanded into mortgage insurance, sub-prime mortgages, and non-mortgage investments, exposing taxpayers to a massive risk of default or bankruptcy.<br /><br />The Founding Fathers wrote the U.S. Constitution to limit the powers of the Federal Government, and they were specifically suspicious of judges and banks. The first step toward the centralization of banking through the Federal Reserve Act which was signed into law by Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat. The New Deal Programs by FDR, and the expansion of entitlement programs by Lyndon B. Johnson, were strictly against what the Founding Fathers intended, and these Democratic Party programs are now falling apart because of their unconstitutional characteristics.<br /><br />As the government now takes another step towards centralizing control over banks, and further expanding entitlement programs, the consequences for poor decisions by individuals are not being paid. Now, with this program to bailout mortgages and save the banks, the taxpayers that were not driven by greed and arrogance are being punished.<br /><br />Government manipulation is the cause of the problems we see rising in the economy and banking system. And government manipulation, and control, is going to exacerbate the problem. As painful as it may seem, to straighten out this mess the banks need to collapse, the home owners who are currently in foreclosure need to lose their homes and move into more affordable accomodations like apartments, and we need to all buckle down, and get through this together, without government intervention.<br /><br />If we don't bear the burdens of our mistakes as individuals, before the next dozen years are finished, we will be steamrolling in the direction of socialism, the "privilege" of home ownership will be gone, and it will take a revolution to turn us around to head back in the direction of liberty, and the American Way.<br /><br />by <a href="http://politicalpistachio.blogspot.com">Douglas V.

Some of them have no problem with some of the war effort against radicals that cause terror, and their only complaint is Iraq. However, a large portion of the anti-war left are against war of any form, even if used as a defensive measure. They are entitled to their opinions. They have the ability to protest as they do because of the blood shed by our military heroes.<br /><br />The problem I have is that their argument is against war, against violence, but more often than not the protests by these people become violent, as they are becoming in St. Paul.<br /><br />Isn't that just a bit hypocritical?<br /><br />According to the <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/sep/01/5-arrested-in-protests-at-gop-convention-site-1/">Associated Press</a>, "Thousands of protesters descended on the city hosting the Republican National Convention Monday, some smashing cars, puncturing tires and throwing bottles in confrontations with pepper-spray wielding police who arrested at least five people."<br /><br />On <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/">Fox News </a>there have also been reports of fires being started, and many of the groups causing general mayhem throughout parts of the city of St. Paul.<br /><br />As a side note, organizers hoped for 50,000 protesters, but only about 8,000 showed up.<br /><br />Remember, these are the people claiming they are protesting the violence of war.<br /><br />If violence begets violence, then why are these protesters so violent?<br /><br />by <a href="http://politicalpistachio.blogspot.com">Douglas V.

He once said, "Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And, if it stops moving, subsidize it."<br /><br />In California the economic and social environment has become so hostile to many, that a mass exodus has begun. People are leaving California in droves, as the illegal aliens gladly move in to set up their squatter villages.<br /><br />The left has taken control of California, and the state has become a battleground in America's war over values. Californians have been pushed with their kindness, their willingness, their openness, their leniency toward aberrant behavior, government control, and out of control taxation. When is enough enough?<br /><br />The Liberals in California act upon all of their urges in all situations, letting it all hang out, following their guiding principle: If it feels good, do it. Anyone who disagrees is labeled a bigot, and then is run out of town, or at least pressured to do so if they don't wish to participate in the antics of Hollywood and San Francisco, California's own Sodom and Gomorrah.<br /><br />Those that have self-respect and want better for their families, neighbors, and the sake of the country, are leaving. Those of the Right have values that keep them from taking a drink, lighting up a joint, or hopping in the sack with anyone that wants them to. Conservatives, more often than not, are the kind of people that drop to their knees and pray for strength, rather than give in to the worldly debauchery.<br /><br />And as these people of values do what they can to escape California, as well as owners of successful businesses who have found it more and more difficult to conduct business in California because of all of the regulations and fees and taxes, the Liberal Left is doing what it can to take what it can from them as they leave.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_j.htm#1344">A ballot proposal is underway </a>in California that would amend the State Constitution with a Wealth Tax. Specifically, this is an additional tax to be levied against high valued property, and high income (between 36.5% - 54.3% one-time tax) should a resident die, or decide to leave the State of California.<br /><br />The writer of the proposal is a CPA and liberal activist by the name of Paul McCauley. In addition to taxing folks for trying to get out of California (or simply dying, for that matter), the proposal imposes an additional 17.5% tax on total incomes of taxpayers with income exceeding $150,000 (which, considering the cost of living here in California, that is not really that high of an income) if single, or $250,000 if married; imposes an additional 35% tax if income exceeds $350,000 for a single person or $500,000 for a married couple, and requires the State to acquire shares of specified corporations to influence environmental policies and practices.<br /><br />No wonder right-minded people are trying to get out of this idiotic State.<br /><br />Why would anyone want to live in California with the rules we have, especially if this proposal were to pass?<br /><br />The Liberal Democrats are basically saying that the American dream is a bad thing, and they will make it impossible to achieve such. And, if by some remote chance you do reach that dream, and become highly successful and prosperous, the government is going to step in and make sure you pay for it heavily so that you will never really truly get there.<br /><br />This proposal is California's way of saying, "Hey, welcome to success, cough it up before you enjoy it, please. How dare you succeed!"<br /><br />Give me a break. A 55% wealth tax? Hollywood folks won't mind that too much because they have so much frickin' money they use it as kindling in the fireplace. As for the rest of us, under this rule, that is a lot of money to have to cough up - and if your business is barely operating in the black because of all of the regulations and fees already imposed, the soup line is right around the corner.<br /><br />An exit/death tax? Are you kidding me? Since we want to get the heck out of Dodge, they are going to try to fence us in with this? And then if you couple this with the Federal Estate tax, in the end, no one can financially afford to die. So much for me being able to leave anything to my kids. Also, if Business "A" moves from San Francisco to New York the CEO has to cough up at least a 36.8 additional percent of both income and the unrealized appreciation he may have in asset that are valued in excess of $5 million. Remember, he is already paying 90% plus (With a producer's existing Federal Income taxes, existing State Income taxes, payroll taxes and the many other taxes imposed, high producers will be lucky to net much of anything on their earnings. A self-employed individual could have a marginal tax rate in excess of 90%. Could you live on 10% of what you make?). This part of the ballot proposal was added to prevent a mass exodus that is already happening. A lot of money is leaving California because of the unfriendly environment to business and success, and they are simply trying to stop the bleeding.<br /><br />And keep in mind that the businesses being targeted by this, those horribly successful corporations that are somehow ruining America in eyes of the idiot Left, are the individuals that are producing growth and jobs. These targeted businesses that are now finding it hard to do business in California are the major driving forces behind the State economy. A tax like this removes all of the incentive to do any of these things, and is simply another reason to get out of California. In the end, these entities with either move to another state, or they will stop producing.<br /><br />Why work extra hours to make a measly 10% of your earnings when you could spend it with your friends and family elsewhere?<br /><br />The goal of this proposition is to gain revenue from the rich, give it to the poor, and keep anyone from leaving the State of California. Idiotic taxes like this ballot proposal actually do the opposite of what they desire. Instead of gaining revenue, they scare away more of the businesses that keeps this economy moving, which in the end takes away more jobs, and leaves more people in the poor-house. The left doesn't seem to understand that a profit driven economy needs profit to survive. The American Dream is all about that profit. Removing any and all rewards for producing and making more money will only do one thing - turn the high producers into takers, and make more people poor.<br /><br />Democrats believe there is a class war going on, and wishes to eliminate the classes so that we can all be the same. At the rate they are going, they will be a rousing success soon, because the class war will soon come to an end because there won't be any rich left. In the end, there will no longer be any disparity between the classes because we will all be poor - except for those elitist politicians who will rule from the top with the absolute power of regulations, fees, and taxation.<br /><br />~<a href="http://politicalpistachio.blogspot.com">Douglas V.

And while you are on that site, visit the voting area on the right side bar and vote for Political Pistachio and me, Douglas V. Gibbs. There is about two days of voting left for the <a href="http://headingrightawards.blogspot.com">Heading Right Awards</a>. At last look I was 13 votes out of first place for best show, and a few more votes back for best host.<br /><br />Now, the following is the transcript of my speech at the <a href="http://headingrightawards.blogspot.com">Heading Right Convention</a>:<br /><br /><br /><em>I am sitting here with a United States Navy hat upon my head, and a God Bless America shirt on my body. I served this nation with pride, and a patriotic love in my heart. I created Political Pistachio to spread the good news of Conservative values - To share with the world what America's moral compass is really all about.<br /><br />While the Democratic Party is whipping up into a near-frenzy about dividing America in Denver with more hatred and anti-Bush rage, we are here on Blog Talk Radio at this Heading Right Convention celebrating the greatness of America.<br /><br />The leftist Democrats constantly try to overcompensate their claimed beliefs in heartland American values, portraying themselves as a party of the people, proclaiming their humble origins, blue-collar beginnings, and religious convictions. Such hypocrisy.<br /><br />Their positions continuously oppose American values, despite how much they try to convince us otherwise.<br /><br />It is the conservatives that stand for the traditional family and the defense of marriage, less cultural pollution, educational choice, freedom of religion, fiscal restraint, pro-life, the right to bear arms, lower taxes, an end to junk lawsuits, and a general patriotic support of our fine men and women of the United States Military.<br /><br />It is Conservatives fighting for a strong American Moral Compass while the liberal left is putting condoms on cucumbers, telling 8th graders that they're really gay and they need their own high school, shutting down the Boy Scouts because they support a straight and patriotic life, suing businesses on false pretenses, and jack hammering the Ten Commandments from all public displays while trying to remove God from the public square and our lives.<br /><br />America's greatness is a direct result of America's strong moral compass. Our moral values as a people demands high standards of right and good conduct. The direction of societal behavior is in direct relation to our moral belief system. Our moral beliefs, in turn, directly affects our overall culture, and political system.<br /><br />In the Old Testament it says that you reap what you sow. An old secular saying supports that, saying what comes around goes around. The United States has prospered for that very reason. Right is right and wrong is wrong, and this nation has always tried to do what's right. But we must remember it was the people of this nation, not the politicians in government, that made this nation prosper.<br /><br />A strong central government is not capable of doing what is right because a strong moral compass is not its reason for existing. Big government exists to protect itself, and to spawn more big government. Its enslavement of the people then becomes an addiction to power, a never ending need for more and more.<br /><br />The party of change desires to convince you that big government is what you need. The Democrats wish to reprogram our moral compass. The liberals support the genocidal murder of innocent, unborn lives, calling it "choice" to justify the horrific murderous practice. They support the destruction of the traditional family and the silencing of those of faith that would speak out against the radical homosexual agenda - and they call it a civil rights movement, rather than an attempt to justify a behavior that has long been considered an abnormality. The liberals have used the courts to override the moral compass of the American people. They have used the schools to indoctrinate our children to teach them to reject America's moral compass. They have assaulted us with a pop-culture of sex that is plagued with promiscuity, disease, and is pushed by the biased media and entertainment industry. And they do this in the name of change and hope. . . but what they are really doing is destroying morality in America.<br /><br />Abortion on demand, a radical homosexual agenda, attacks on religion, and disarming America is not the kind of change I desire.<br /><br />I believe Americans are smarter than that. This great nation is prosperous because the people refuse to succumb to such bondage. We are patriots that love our country and realize that our political tendencies rely on our moral convictions as a people. We reject the cheapening of life, and destroying the traditional family. We refuse to allow the state to take our children from us and indoctrinate them. And we reject laying down our arms so that an enemy can incrementally invade and alter our society.<br />This nation was founded on strong moral values, and America prospered because we always used our moral compass as our guide. And tonight, here at the Heading Right Convention, we have joined together to tell the nation that we will fight to protect it, and we will defend it against all enemies, foreign and domestic.<br /><br />And the trueness of the direction of our moral compass is most apparent in the actions of our heroes, those soldiers and sailors that serve to protect us.<br /><br />Greater love than this hath no man than that he lay down his life for his friends.<br /><br />Our fine members of the U.S. Military faces evil daily, and they fight that evil to defend our liberty.<br /><br />But the battle rages here as well. You and I are the warriors on the homefront. The enemies of America have realized that to bring down our civilization all they must do is confuse the standards of moral behavior.<br /><br />The moral compass of America is crucial to defend, for if it falls, so does America. <br /><br />My Friends, defend her, fight for her. United We Stand, Combined We Kick Butt.<br /><br />God Bless America, and God Bless You.</em>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997113772837703350.post-49358685257810053542008-08-25T21:33:00.001-05:002008-08-25T21:33:21.185-05:00Michelle Malkin Attacked at DNC<embed allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/c0GLj3YpeTo&hl=en&fs=1" width="300" height="245"><p class="citation"><cite cite="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/08/michelle-malkin-attacked-at-denver.html"><a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/08/michelle-malkin-attacked-at-denver.html">Embedded Video</a></cite></p><div class="flockcredit" style="text-align: right; color: #CCC; font-size: x-small;">Blogged with the <a href="http://www.flock.com/blogged-with-flock" style="color: #999; font-weight: bold;" target="_new" title="Flock Browser">Flock Browser</a></div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0
