The thoughts of a college student.

September 30, 2008

I was talking to a young lady yesterday.  I asked her: Who are you going to vote for?  She replied: Obama.  I asked why?  She said: Because McCain is too old and will likely only live one year while he is in office.  [funny thing is that she was totally serious]

First off: Kudos to the Obama team for making McCain already appear as though he has a foot in the grave. 

The problem with it is that she is listening to the liberal bias on the college campus and not to what Obama is really saying he is going to do.  Obama is the WORST thing that could happen to America. 

The stage is already set for us to move into Socialism.  He will take us there.  Once we are there, we are only one step away from Communism.  GOD HELP US!

ACORN and the POOR

September 30, 2008

Let me repeat myself… I didn’t see anywhere in the constitution where it says that America is obligated to buy everyone a house.  Our Constitution does not read:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, [Don’t forget… give every damn person in this country a house whether they can afford it or not] do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Now, I can understand helping families out who have fallen into foreclosure.  I can understand helping families who had the economy go sour on them.  I can understand helping families who are in a pinch.  I would desire help if it were me.

I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND giving a home to someone who does bring in a paycheck but wants to live in a $100,000 to $200,000 home.   Or someone who makes $1,000 a month having a $1,500 mortgage.  And me having to foot the bill for it.  

Even worse, I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND if the government bails everyone out, why ACORN all of a sudden rises to the top as an entity most entitled to receive a boost rather than giving the AMERICAN TAX PAYER A BREAK WHEN THEY PAID FOR THE FUNDAMENTALLY MORALLY WRONG BAILOUT TO BEGIN WITH!  Why would congress even consider making the problem worse… has a politician ever heard of paying off their debts?  Instead they have to give, give, and give.  There is a point in which your house, your country, your fiscal responsibility is MORE IMPORTANT than someone getting a killer deal on a house. 

Again the constitution DOES NOT READ:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, [Don’t forget… give every damn person in this country a house whether they can afford it or not] do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Leave being poor out of it.  It has nothing to do with being poor.  It has to do with buying what you can afford and living within your means.

You shouldn’t be able to walk into Wal-Mart and just take things because you are poor.  You shouldn’t be able to just walk up to a car lot and take a car, the constitution doesn’t promise you one because everyone else has one.  You aren’t due one because hard times you went through, no one should be forced to buy you one because you are less fortunate.   Have people had to walk before? YES.  Are their other more affordable housing options for people who can’t afford a home?  YES!  They could buy a condo, rend an apartment, buy a prefabricated home, or buy a camper.  There are more options than just buying a house.   Other options are financially more within the reach of some people.

Now, if someone gives to the poor.  God bless them.   Should I have the right to decide if I want to be charitable? Yes.  Should I have the right to not give to those who choose not to work and improve their circumstance? Yes.  Do I have the right to decide who I desire to give to? YES.  Does the government have the right to make me pay for everyone else so there is EQULITY and so everything is FAIR?  NO!

This really seems like a fiber of the fairness doctrine.

1 trillion dollar loss!

September 30, 2008

Wow… a 1 Trillion dollar loss.  That is what everyone was dealt by trying to push through BAD legislation.  CNN Said:

 

http://money.cnn.com/2008/09/29/markets/asian_markets/index.htm

 

The day’s loss in the United States knocked out approximately $1.2 trillion in market value, the first $1 trillion-plus day ever, based on the change in the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000, the broadest measure of the U.S. stock market.

Obam, ACORN, and the Bailout Bill

September 30, 2008

 

Do you know who ACORN is?

 

Acorn is a perfect example of political correctness.  As described on its website: “ACORN is the nation’s largest grassroots community organization of low- and moderate-income people with over 400,000 member families organized into more than 1,200 neighborhood chapters in 110 cities across the country.  Since 1970, ACORN has been building community organizations that are committed to social and economic justice, and won victories on thousands of issues of concern to our members, through direct action, negotiation, legislative advocacy and voter participation.  ACORN helps those who have historically been locked out become powerful players in our democratic system.”

 

http://www.acorn.org/

 

First of all… it is all the people who had to make sure that everything is “FAIR” and that there was “EQUALITY” that even those who can’t afford a home can get a loan for a home.

 

Isn’t that funny?  Those are the same people who can’t pay their mortgages and a direct reason why we are in the financial crisis we are in.  So ACORN through “negotiation” and “legislative advocacy” helped make it so you don’t have to make any money to qualify for a home because as stated in the preamble of our constitution….

 

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, [Don’t forget… we also give every damn person in this country a house whether they can aford it or not] do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

 

What gets my goat.  In the first draft of the bailout Bill.  ACORN was going to receive at least 20% of any profits earned from the government bailout. http://michellemalkin.com/2008/09/25/kill-the-bailout-more-acorn-funding/

 

Would it surprise you if Obama had tied to ACORN?

Chris Rock and the American Dream

September 28, 2008

Recently there were some pretty stupid remarks made by another actor/star. Chris Rock, the sometimes funny, sometimes crude comic said that he would vote for the guy with one house.

When I was a kid, (I’m sure it was the same for Obama), I was told I could achieve anything I dreamed. I could even become the President of the United States. This is America, and I have the opportunity to live the “American Dream.”

What is the “American Dream”? I checked out the Wikipedia and in the first sentence it says: “The American Dream today often refers to one’s material wealth which is dependent upon one’s abilities and work ethic, and not on a rigid class structure.”

It goes on to say: ” Also the phrase’s meaning has evolved over the course of American history, for some people, it is the opportunity to achieve greater material prosperity than was possible in their countries of origin. For others it is the opportunity for their children to grow up and receive an education and its consequent career opportunities. It is the opportunity to make individual choices without the restrictions of class, caste, religion, race, or ethnic group. For others in this the dream of choice and flexibility, the ability to wake up in the morning and decide to drive, cycle or take public transportation to work.” [In McCains case... which house to sleep in.]

You mean I can have an American Dream no matter what class structure I am in? So a poor person can have and “American Dream” just as equally as a rich person can have an “American Dream”? I think that is true. I would be willing to bet that Donald Trump has lived out his “American Dream”. I would be willing to bet that Chris Rock has lived out his “American Dream”. I would also bet that John McCain is trying to live his “American Dream”.

It does not matter how many houses you own. It does not matter how much money you have or earn. It does not matter who your friends are. Or, what your job is. Every one in this great country has the opportunity of dreaming and achieving their version of the “American Dream”. It is no respector of Race, Color, Ethnicity, Sex, Gender, or Age. IF YOU DREAM IT, YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT in America.

Obama even achieved his dream of buying a home. It took the help of a convicted felon, but he has been able to live the “American Dream” himself.

Chris Rock, be smart and shut up. Last I heard… THIS IS AMERICA. Everyone has the right to dream and achieve what they desire. If they didn’t, you wouldn’t be a controversial and disgraceful comedian.

What really happened at the White House?

September 28, 2008

Do you want to read about what really happened the other day at the white house?

I was really surprised to hear right after the meeting on all the news channels that McCain screwed the whole thing up. He wasn’t willing to make concessions that would allow it to go forward and was hindering progress. He should have never come to Washington.

Anyhow, Rush Limbaugh was equally perplexed by the meeting and called a friend to find out what really happened. Read the story here.

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_092608/content/01125107.guest.html

In summary, Paulsen, Reed and Pelosi deferred to Obama (so he could look presidential) and the first thing he did was start ripping the Republicans for presenting a second plan [option]. Don’t forget the Treasury Secretary [Paulsen] was the former CEO of Goldman Sachs and a Democrat. Story short, Obama’s lack of ability to negotiate ruined the entire meeting and the attacks on the news were damage control to make it look like McCains fault.

Read about his conflict of interst here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Paulson

Again, don’t believe everything you hear on TV.

You later hear Obama say that he has done better when people keep him in the loop over the phone. (That’s because he sucks at being in charge in person.)

Letter to PBS regarding a segment on Obama

September 26, 2008

Are you serious?

I watched your little spot on Barack Obama this morning. I can’t remember hearing a news organization broadcast such a bias piece of news in a LONG time.

You guys are a real work of art. I love how you craftfully had the person saying that Obama was calm cool and collected after McCain picked Palin as a running mate. That he was never shook up and that he was never on the attack.

Obviously you guys are so busy creating news stories and so blinded by the little cubicles your people live in, they haven’t seen the light of day over the last few months. Of course given that scenario, they would believe such hog-wash.

Obama has been on the attach… Obama even had to come out attacking Palin personally because he VP pick [Biden] wasn’t doing it. Obama had lost a 35 point lead. And last week McCain even pulled ahead of Obama for a short time.

Go ahead and keep spreading your version of the truth, I’ll make sure I never watch PBS again. Keep making him appear as a saint and the most clean politician in office, incapable of doing wrong. You must not know any politicians or follow politics.

Hopefully people see through your smoke screen.

Would anyone like a chip?

September 22, 2008

What just happened over the week end.

There is a story on CNN that leads: “Federal regulators converted Wall Street’s remaining stand-alone investment banks, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, into bank holding companies Sunday night. What that means, reports CNNMoney.com, is the end of the era of the Wall Street investment bank, a storied institution that traded stocks and bonds, advised mergers and showered lavish bonuses on executives.”

Ok, we’ve had the government step in and buy up banks and investement houses, but now they are stepping in and changing their form and structure of doing business? Now they are overseen by the Fed?

In what started as a major shift towards socialism… has now been a complete shift from open markets to complete federal ownership and oversight. We just socialized it all so they wouldn’t fail.

In the story they hint at Wachovia and Washington Mutual as being the next targets of federal oversights.

What is going to happen when the Federal Government owns the entire financial system?

Is that when we all have to have a chip put in our forhead or wrist in order to buy or sell. (Mark of the Beast?) Some federal beuracrat will come up with a brilliant idea of tracking money with a computer chip, probably based on technology already developed by companies like:
Verichip http://www.verichipcorp.com
Zarlink Radio Chip http://www.zarlink.com/cps/rde/xchg/zarlink/hs/medical.htm

At the moment they are used for tracking, identification, monitoring, records, are they currently powerful enough to record our financial records and for commerce? Likelihood… YES.

Is this how it all begins?

1) The financial markets crumble.
2) The federal government steps in to pick it all up
3) If it gets worse the world government steps in to pick it all up
4) Some beuracrat “ding dong” comes up with a brilliant idea of putting a chip in everyone or they can’t use the governments money.
