You hit the nail on the head in your diary. Democrats are not spending nearly a trillion dollars for “us”, but neither are the Republicans standing up for “us” by voting no. They are both doing what they think will keep them in power, and the big problem is this has been going on for a long time.

If there has ever been a time for real solutions this is it, but unfortunately all we have are children posturing for 2010 and 2012.

I think our leaders in DC should take JFK’s quote to heart….

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”

The people I talk too are angry and feel helpless BECAUSE they are NOT being listened to. I don’t know where that is going but it cannot be good!

The country I grew up in is being dismantled in whole chunks daily. What’s being done is nothing less than tyranny in the making. I’m all for the day when these a**hats are pulled out of their very own spider holes and it can’t come too soon. You can tell that these clowns don’t know history, or else they would know that tyrants don’t die peaceful deaths and tyrannized countries don’t stay that way forever.

for all those that loved liberty has been taken over by the followers of Saul Alinsky. Our children were propagandized in school, our politicians are corrupt, our party became spineless. Tradition, religion and history are dirty words and homosexuality, porn and appeasment are the norm. There is no War on Terror but there is Al gore’s global warming. Like in 1984 — new speak has taken over.

Living in South Flori-duh have a distinct advantage… Hurricane season has a real and obvious potential to alter one’s life a tad, so you’re always prepared, even in the off-season.

I’ve been through a few named storms and lemme tell ya, they ain’t a walk in the park.

Here, we tend to have at least a week’s worth of water, food, batteries, etc., along with reliable portable electronics, no less than a half-tank in the car, a “go bag” (3-days of absolute essentials to travel), etc. as a ‘just in case’ backup.

If I may be so bold as to make an overall suggestion – again, this is not paranoia, but preparedness 101 – and no, I am not a survivalist……and by the way, I am NOT talking about hoarding.

With the way things are looking, I’d get a bit of a stock up on things you normally use on a daily/weekly basis. Staple items that have long shelf-lives.

There is no reason to believe anything insane like martial law is coming, but if and when the merde does indeed encounter the ventilateur, what will you do if you can’t take a simple trip to the grocery store because it’s too dangerous to go outside ?

Touchy subject here that does spark of paranoia….. This tip from a legal eagle I’ve taken to heart lately……. pay cash for everything you possibly can and do not use store loyalty/customer cards, etc., especially if you’re buying ammunition.

This message NOT brought to you by any tin-foil-hat-wearing, conspiracy freak. I’m just a normal lunatic with the “hope” that the “change” coming doesn’t kill us all.

The single last thing I want to see is Americans rising up in revolt against other Americans……… but what if it happens and comes to your doorstep ?

Cheers !

I can hardly watch TV or read any news because my blood gets boiling. I’ve gotta tune out for my own mental health Those poor weights at the gym are getting overtime these days.

Obama will suffer tremendous backlash from being oversold to the public as a rock star messiah. I heard clips of his town meetings where people are asking him for cars and jobs and he just mumbles.

Before it’s over and done he’ll be worse than Jimmy Carter especially because of the extremely high expectations going in. Hopefully not as much damage will be done but it doesn’t look good with a rabid Dem congress.

Here it comes……… Gonna start small, the look out.

Howard Dean screaming will hold no candle to this circus.

Senator Pat Leahy seeks Bush-era Truth Commission

Better than even odds Leahy seeks the death penalty for Bush, Cheney and Rove.

We’re about to have another taxpayer supported “stimulus package” but it is still a fraction of the guarantees that have been handed out by the Fed and the FDIC to banks — without any indication to the American public of where that money has gone or is going. It’s a state secret.

Remember, the above-board stimulus packages are dwarfed by the amount of money the Fed and FDIC have guaranteed without even telling the American people where it’s going:

The remaining $8 trillion is in lending programs and guarantees, almost all under the Fed and FDIC. Recipients’ names have not been disclosed.

“We’ve seen money go out the back door of this government unlike any time in the history of our country,” Senator Byron Dorgan, a North Dakota Democrat, said on the Senate floor Feb. 3. “Nobody knows what went out of the Federal Reserve Board, to whom and for what purpose. How much from the FDIC? How much from TARP? When? Why?”

My guess is that most of that money is going right out the backdoor of the economy to countries like China and Saudi Arabia, as a payoff to keep them financing our debt over the next few years. My sincere guess is that a number of creditors that we absolutely need to finance the “above board” debt gave us a very stark ultimatum: “Pay us now, in cash, or you economy fails tomorrow.”

And the FED and FDIC are doing so.

I firmly believe that the growth and widespread acceptance of casino gambling in the U.S. was one of the things that led to the massive overleveraging of our economy. There used to be such a thing as taking a reasonable risk, on the order of 3:1 or 4:1. In the past twenty years, Americans as a group got used to taking 30:1 risks as though it was nothing to worry about. We’re paying the piper now. The banks — all of them — participated in this massive shift away from common sense: they encouraged people to take second mortgages on their homes in order to finance luxury items. With the hand-in-glove help of the federal government, they also encouraged banks to lend money to illegal aliens and millions of people who could never pay back their mortgages unless housing values kept going up.

Part of the reason they did that was because they were making enormous sums of money extending those loans. Bonuses, perks and closing commissions. It was an absolute cavalcade of irresponsibility. Everyone was screwing everyone else.

Anyone knows that it’s immoral to bet your future on a 30:1 gamble. Except Americans. Except the people on Wall Street and in our banking and credit institutions. They’re getting bailed out and what is going to happen is that they’re going to snap up the devalued properties. Then the recovery will begin.

No the recovery will begin when Obama and his machine are destroyed. We need an Obamanator.

once we have a sane monetary policy. Governments like paper money because they can take the people’s wealth without taxation, by expanding the monetary base (ie, printing money). Gold or Silver protect the people’s wealth and allow for slow steady growth that inhibits the boom/bust cycle of paper money.

End the Fed.

End Fractional Reserve Banking!

Then the economy can begin to recover in a sane, sustainable way.

1) The first time an American goes to the Doctor and is told – Sir/Mam this is what you need but I have to wait and see what the federal overseer says about this treatment for you.
(Which as a nurse let me tell you with Medicare some of this is already going on. I get very mad when I see a patient that needs oxygen and I ask them has your Doctor talked to you about oxygen and I am told “if your oxygen level does not stay below a certain number then you cannot get oxygen at home” – I am not trying to bore you with medical stuff but let me explain this a little deeper and see if you are mad with me (just wait until those who are not so nice like our elderly – wait until younger people experience this – the Rage will boil over). Anyways, sometimes people have hearts that don’t work well from heart attacks, stress on the heart, etc… and when you do something like walk/activity it puts more stress on the heart – if you wear oxygen it decreases the work/stress on the heart (helping to make the patient comfortable and safer) – that does not mean their oxygen level will be very low – it is more about the heart. So, our elderly are now told NO by the feds. to their oxygen (this is only one example).

2) the first time when after Obama’s idiot porkulus plan has caused the economy to crash completely and people get hungry and better yet they see their children/grandchildren/elderly family members hungry and suffering – this is going to cause the Rage to boil over.

There are many other examples but you get the picture – when people are hurt in their own back yards – they are going to let that silent Rage out and it will be ugly. I don’t wish this, but I am with you guys I am preparing for this.

Did anybody else notice that when he was in Florida at that “town hall meeting” that looked more like an Oprah episode – and at the beginning Obama said – let’s keep our questions short and I will try and keep my answers short (yeah right he is blah blah blah about nothing forever) – and he said just raise your hands – and a majority of the crowd raised their hands – he was talking about if you have a question and Obama says “no not now just if you have a question” – it was kind of like Simon says Obama style – kind of sad and kind of funny to see his worshipers looking like the complete idiots they are.

I just remembered this gem from high school literature class, sometimes I do have a Photo memory though blurry focus at times. This is by
Dylan Thomas

“Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

The poem basically means fight against the losing of your sight more or less metaphorically.

There has been a growing sense that something is wrong. Its not new. Its been growing for years. When scores aren’t kept at soccer games, when murderers are freed on technicallities, etc, etc. We also see these little signs of the bigger wrongs. But no one has really figured out the essence of that wrong. Once they do, and are able to relate it to the population, a movement will start the likes of which we have never seen in America.
