When are you going to learn?

So it has come to light that Sen. Dodd has received the most contributions from AIG than any other politician. And of course, we all know that Sen. Dodd is the one who wrote the 'Amendments' to allow the paying of bonuses in the recent 'Spending Bill'. So what does that tell all of you Left-Wing nut jobs? Is that what you wanted? I always hear you guys saying that Right-Winged politicians are only looking out for the "Rich Guy" and the Dem's take care of "My People". Whatever! Let me give it to you straight! There are very few politicians, left or right, that have your best interest at heart. Our government is set up to make you more poor and them and theirs richer! We need a Revolution and it doesn't have to be a violent one. We need to seek out leaders that are real leaders! Leaders who will resist the temptation to "Sell-Out" when they get to Washington! I contend that we should wipe it clean and start from scratch. Start looking in your community for that leader! Start looking for values in life! Start looking to yourself and put your hand back in your pocket and stop 'expecting' handouts! As long as you think the government owes you something the more they will lead you to think they are giving it to you! It's a game of power to them! It's time to take the power back people! WAKE UP!!!!!

GREED!!!

I am getting a little bored with everybody and their mother talking about GREED! Those greedy Wall Street people this and that. They are the reason for the mess we are in...right? WRONG! Take a look in the mirror! It's you. Aah...don't want to hear that do ya. There is a word that was taught to me at a young age and it is 'Accountability'. "Son, You are accountable for your actions, you alone and no-one else." It took me a while to learn that but thankfully I eventually did and I am sorry to learn that a majority of Americans did not. It seems that a majority of Americans were in fact, GREEDY! Yes, greed is the reason for our economic downfall but ultimately it is the greed of yourself. Here is how it works out:
I want to buy a house. I look at my finances and see that I can afford a house that cost 150k. I go to the bank and they say I can afford a 225k house. Now I know that I really can't afford a 225k house but hey, that would be a fine house and all of my friends would really look up to me for having such a nice house so I say "I'll take it!" What's the worst that can happen if I can't afford it? - GREED, but it's not my fault! The bank said I could afford it! ACCOUNTABILITY or lack there of.
So let's get to the meat of the problem....it's you, the person who bought more than they could afford! Stop looking for hand outs and pointing fingers and start living accountable!

H.R. 1586 - This bill should scare you!

H.R. 1586: To impose an additional tax on bonuses received from certain TARP (AIG) recipients, better known as the Government partisipating in a little CYA! This Bill was put together and flew through the House in a blink of an eye. Don't get me wrong...I think that companies who receive TARP money should act financialy and morally responsible (AIG), something the government should have thought of before they crammed that bail-out down our throats! And it appears they did....Chris Dodd! Enough about the he said she said crap. I want to talk about this Bill.


Last week the speed limit on my road was 25 mph and it was recorded daily...(bare with me). I never went over the speed limit but last week a squirell darted out to grab another nut and got ran over by my blue suv. Well, because of that squirells untimely death, the government decided that the speed limit on my road should be 20 mph instead of 25 and that everyone who drove blue suv's at the posted speed limit of 25 mph last week will be ticketed for violating the new 20 mph limit.


The Senate passed a bill that punishes persons for acts they committed that were at the time not illegal and also singles out a certain class (Profile) of people all of which are unconstitutional.


U.S. Constitution Article 1, Section 9:
No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

Attainder: In the context of the Constitution, a Bill of Attainder is meant to mean a bill that has a negative effect on a single person or group (for example, a fine or term of imprisonment). Originally, a Bill of Attainder sentenced an individual to death, though this detail is no longer required to have an enactment be ruled a Bill of Attainder

ex post facto: Formulated, enacted, or operating retroactively. From what is done afterwards.

Why stop there? It seems the government thinks they are above what we were founded on and can change the laws at will. Scary, don't you think?

Are you Stimulated?

$900 BILLION DOLLARS!!! Are you kidding me? So I started this blog when our wonderful all knowing, all responsible government decided to "Bail Out Main Street" otherwise known as setting up our pal's on Wall Street. About 3 to 5 billion have been spent of the 850 billion approved and "Main Street" has not seen anything but more $$$ down the drain. Now the man who is going to change the world, you know, the Chosen One, has put his Stimulus Package to the vote. I say vote but there really is no point in sending anything to the House or Congress because they are all in the same boat with the same interest at heart - their own! Now we are going to spend $900 billion on pork! No, not just pork because I really like pork. This is more like a hotdog. We don't really know what's in a hotdog! But if you take the time to read how and where the money is spent and then ask yourself where the jobs and return will come from you will learn what a hotdog really is. Click on the picture of the the Stimulus Package to find the filling (From the Appropriations Comity):
Just a bunch of spending that just like the bail-out, will do nothing but put us further in debt. I just want to say my grand children will really appreciate how we've set them up! My oldest kid is 7 years old.

So let's count the spending: Wall Street CEO Executive Bonuses for a years work = $20 Billion vs. Government Bailout and Stimulus costs in the past 3 months = $1.8 TRILLION...Wow!!!

~I am definitely stimulated and even more outraged!!!

Barack Damn's Wall Street CEO's and their Bonuses!!!

Is this not "Calling the Kettle Black"? (excuse my pun) President Obama criticizes Wall Street for handing out over 18 Billion in CEO bonuses:




Here's where the Kettle is Black:

Obama's inauguration cost well over $150 Million!!! Really? Many of you in the Obamanation will argue that Bush's was more than the reported $47 million. All-be-it true, but is it really an appropriate time for our government to spend that much on a party? Not to mention pay raises!!! Do any of you know that we will never hear about congress voting to give themselves a raise anymore? That's because they already voted and passed automatic raises every year! I don't know about you but I didn't receive a raise this year!

HYPOCRISY IN WASHINGTON!!! ~ CHANGE YOU CAN SEE? Yes, I can see now that Washington will not try to hide what they really do.

~ I am outraged!!!
