BLN: They smell free money!

They smell free money!

October 20, 2009
To: President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives
From: Nils-Axel Mörner, Stockholm, Sweden
Mr. President,
You have recently held an undersea Cabinet meeting to raise awareness of the idea that global sea level is rising and hence threatens to drown the Maldives. This proposition is not founded in observational facts and true scientific judgments.
Therefore, I am most surprised at your action and must protest its intended message…
Let me summarize a few facts.
(1) In the last 2000 years, sea level has oscillated with 5 peaks reaching 0.6 to 1.2 m above the present sea level.
(2) From 1790 to 1970 sea level was about 20 cm higher than today
(3) In the 1970s, sea level fell by about 20 cm to its present level
(4) Sea level has remained stable for the last 30 years, implying that there are no traces of any alarming on-going sea level rise.

What is a real American?

Real Americans are all colors, all religions, all sexual orientations, and from all political parties. Being a Real American simply means that you are for America first. That you are proudly a capitalist. That you are an individualist and that you hold freedom as put down by our founding fathers to be non-negotiable. You vigorously defend your right to gun ownership. You reserve the right to raise your children as you see fit. The constitution is a cherished document that you want your government to follow, not bend to their agenda. You understand that the government works for you and you are happy to remind them of that. That is what a Real American is. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. David C Beach

“Well, obviously we have a RAPIST in Lincoln Park. He’s climbin’ in your windows, he’s snatchin’ your people up, tryin’ to rape ‘em. So y’all need to hide your kids, hide your wife, and hide your husband cause they’re rapin’ everybody out here.”
In short, if we were not taxed every time we tried to do something, we just might damn well do something!
“Whoever controls the volume of money in our country is absolute master of all industry and commerce…and when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.” – President James Garfield, 2 weeks before his assassination.

Remember, it's hard to "dis (respect)" someone who hasn't earned any.
The only time Politicians tell the truth is when they call each other liars.
Apparently you don't realize that paper money is nothing more than debt. By printing more of it is only creating more debt. You cannot pay off debt with debt.
my tv is 80 inches. my freezer can handle two sides of beef. my washing machine does thirty loads. my wife has boobs the size of texas. (they aren't real - but does that matter?) :) "Honey what's wrong with this credit card. It came back Declined?" :(
Definition of a racist: someone who is winning an argument with a liberal.
A federal government that actually operated within the limits intended by the Framers would be much smaller, much less capable of creating economic distortion, and much less attractive to moochers and the politicians they enable. The bigger the pot of honey, the more flies it attracts.
Guess the Greek's didn't understand what "Paying the Piper" really meant until now, something that unfortunately is happening in America as the stupids are busy arguing whom to elect - Rombama or Obamney.
I like my women like my Italian cruises... wet, wrecked, and ready to go down.

It is very easy to understand women if you go by two guidelines. 1. Women are a different species. 2. The job of a woman is to destroy a man. Once you understand these two things it all makes sense.

They call themselves Green because they're too yellow to admit they're really Reds.
All of our problems can be traced to the inability of the individual to sit down in a chair, look straight ahead, and be quiet.
European equities are holding up as they ignore the reality priced into credit. It seems equities see the light at the end of the tunnel, but credit knows its an oncoming train.
Most Americans have either forgotten what actual quality is or they have never experienced it!
The reason societies before us have not been wasteful is that they have been poor.

Money and greed always trump morality and truth. Sad!
The era of Europe's heavily unionized, social welfare states is drawing to a close. Misery, war and poverty will follow as certainly as night follows day. Pity that Democrats are too stupid to get the message here at home.

“There is no means of avoiding a final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as a result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved.” quote from Ludwig Von Mises of the Austrian school

United States is happily teetering on the brink of economic suicide spending 3.456 Trillion on revenues of 2.162 Trillion. No wonder Obama doesn't want to submit a budget, it would be the suicide letter.

“The main role of the Federal Reserve is to try to ensure the smooth functioning of the credit system.” Well, I think I found the problem. The Federal Reserves focus on credit as opposed to savings, on bank profitability as opposed to country wellbeing shows an organization that has morphed into a special interest drain on America. Its time to end the Federal Reserve!

The Boston Federal reserve (this was the match that started the sub prime mortgage mess) study was later shown to be seriously flawed. Re-examination of the underlying file showed dozens of cases where loan applications had been incorrectly classified as rejections, and variables that had been dropped from the analysis that should have been retained on statistical grounds. Later authors showed that fixing either of these problems would have overturned the original conclusions and removed race as a significant factor in loan approvals. . More leftist lying to push their socialistic programs! BOOM!

I hope some of the Liberal elites and their myrmidons in this country read the comments here. They need to learn something. Long ago, many here like myself stopped reading, watching, and listening to the Liberal Media. We got tired of being set up, lied to, and insulted. So no, I never EVER go to CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, WaPo, NYT, TIME, NEWSWEEK ($1!) or any of the others.

It's Fox, Drudge, NewsBusters, HotAir, PowerLine, InstaPundit, Michelle Malkin, The Corner, BLN, etc., for me now.

Bush was right

by TBT or not TBT
That Mission Accomplished was directed towards the crew(s) of the carrier battle group as they returned from a deployment, their mission accomplished. The nutjob media turned it into something else entirely, whereas a mission strictly refers to a limited task within a much larger undertaking. Bush was very clear the overall effort in these parts of the world would amount to a "long war". Note that we are still engaged in it, and far from done. Note that the British spent around 200 years in India transforming that part of the world. They skipped that effort in the middle east, which is easy to see on the ground over there. Monstrous backwardness from end to end.

This sums up Obama and his illegitimate Presidency.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their President. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The public can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."
