While I usually aim for a targeted rant, the following will be a list of random, various issues that are particularly annoying or upsetting to me. Read, enjoy, and feel free to comment.
1) Everytime I watch one of those anti-cruelty ads on TV, whether it is Sarah McGlaughlin or anyone else, my heart hurts. Any human that does to animals what they show in those ads is a sick, sad, evil person. Yes, even Michael Vick, whose return to the NFL I supported only because he paid a hefty price and deserves a second chance at life. The fact still remains that he either is, or used to be, very sick and heartless. Anyone who is cruel to animals and causes the scars and injuries that these commercials show is someone that deserves prison time. It literally makes me fighting mad.
2) I think that we are far too understanding or forgiving to people that hurt children. Child molesters and child rapists are sick, twisted scum. Anyone that hurts a child is the lowest life form on Earth. As a Christian, I struggle with these types of people because I want to rid the world of their presence. Anyone that rapes or molests a child has no useful purpose on this planet. Their life is worthless. Yet there are those that are so worried about the molester's rights and treatment and forgiveness. There are just some things that are not forgivable. Hurting a child through rape or molestation is one of those unforgivable sins. Carl Lee Hailey is a hero.
3) I am so tired of minorities crying race everytime things do not get their way. I can't criticize President Obama without someone thinking I am a bigot and do not like him because he is black. I cannot speak out against illegal immigrants without being thought of as prejudice against Latinos. I am tired of every business having to kiss minority butt to avoid being called racist. Yes, I know racism exists. I know that some people hate people for no other reason that the color of their skin or their last name. However, asking the government to interveve on your behalf every time things do not go your way only further handicaps you and your people. If you work hard in school, work hard at your job, and become someone with valuable talents and experiences, you will get to wherever you want to go. But, if you are lazy and want everything handed to you because of things that happened 100 years ago, get the heck out of the way and stop your crying. Martin Luther King, Jr., wanted blacks to EARN the right to get what white people have, and not be given everything simply because life ain't fair. Dr. King would be disgusted with the plight of blacks today because blacks defeat themselves more than any racist boss could.
4) I am tired of the thought that the rich should pay for EVERYTHING. Tax the rich...buy health care. Tax the rich...build roads. Tax the rich...build a water fountain in an unused park and name it after a Congressman or Congresswoman. There are just some things that people need to work for and buy themselves. The more you tax the rich, the less they buy and the less they hire. I have never gotten a job from a poor person. Poor people cannot put other people to work.
Let's say you have a mouse problem. You get a cat. Can you teach a cat to hunt mice if you trap and bring the dead mice to the cat? No. The cat will stop worrying about hunting because you take away the drive. Same applies to giving everything away to the poor. If you GIVE them everything they want and need, the desire to go get it is dissolved. The rich should not pay for everything. The poor sometimes needs to get off their laurels and go EARN it.
5) President Obama selects a general to head the war in Afghanistan. In the middle of the summer, Obama's appointed general tells Obama what he needs to win the war in Afghanistan. You know, the war that Obama supported winning throughout the campaign? So, here was are, four months later, Obama is bowing in Communist China and taking softball questions from hand-picked Communist Chinese students, and bowing to the Premier of Japan, and still no decision on whether Obama wants to win the war or not. Sometimes, when there is a life or death decision to be made, not making a decision is a decision. So, by not deciding, Obama is deciding to lose the war in Afghanistan. Thus, we have dropping troop morale in that war. So, Obama, thank you for your undying support of our military.
6) I am so tired of these bleeding heart morons who cry about free health care. Well, let me say this. You will get what you pay for. If you look at Medicare and Medicaid, as well as the VA medical system, they are all riddled with failures in service, fraud, unpaid doctors, and the government making decisions on life and death procedures and care. There are options for emergency care. If you break your leg, you will get treated. If you have cancer, there are organizations out there to help you. If the only place you can get insurance is a job you aren't happy at, well tough. Why do I have to suffer because you want me to buy your health care instead of you sucking it up and being a responsible adult? The government cannot handle ANYTHING efficiently. So, why am I going to have to deal with beauracratic nightmares so that you can have government insurance?
NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD CAN MATCH OUR QUALITY OF CARE. WHY DO YOU WANT TO DESTROY THAT????
7) The Ft. Hood massacre was the work of one man...and he is something no one outside of Fox News Channel will say. Everyone is so afraid of saying the truth, it is sickening, sad, and dangerous. Malik Nadal Hasan is a MUSLIM EXTREMIST TERRORIST. He is all three. 1) MUSLIM. 2) EXTREMIST. 3) TERRORIST. He is not Christian, we know that because if a Christian killed someone, that is the first word of every paragraph of every report. Someone "thought" the man who killed an abortion doctor was a Christian right-wing extremist, and that is how he was labled. A Chrisitan right-wing extremist. Yet, they refuse to name the guy that kills 13 American soldier and wounds 31 more. They softly read his name, hoping that by not annunciating it, even coughing as they say it, they can avoid identifying him as a MUSLIM EXTREMIST. "*COUGH*Malik Nadal Hasan *COUGH* is the alleged shooter in the Ft. Hood massacre. He might have ties to some groups against America's war on Islam."
Malik Nadal Hasan is an EXTREMIST. A MUSLIM EXTREMIST.
Just like Abdulhakim Muhammad, who shot and killed a US Army soldier at a recruiting station in Arkansas in June 2009, is a MUSLIM EXTREMIST.
I am so tired of the silence of the peace-loving Muslim community, much like I am so tired of the media covering up the religion and extremism of remorseless killers like Hasan and Muhammad. The fact that there isn't a more vocal anti-terrorism and anti-murderous faction of the Muslim community starts to make one wonder...maybe this whole religion of peace thing is just false advertising...
8) Trying the 9-11 terrorists in US Courts is a political sham. It is heartless. It is stupid. It will make a mockery of the CIA, Homeland Security, the US Military, and the Bush Administration. All reasons why the Obama Administration is so in support of the idea. Any time that they can take a shot at the CIA, the military, or Bush, you better believe that shot will be taken. It scares me to think what a liberal judge is going to do with this case. Are the confessions going to be thrown out because of a lack of Miranda Rights? Are these murderous terrorists going to be allowed media time to spew their hatred and filth? Are these murderous scum going to have access to all of the rights of the US Constitution, the very document they were trying to destroy with their attacks on the US?
This whole show is a sham and political ploy to unearth classified documents and information for public view. Part of that public includes international courts, who could, and likely would, use that information to indict the Bush administration. Something Obama knows would be politically dangerous to do on his own. However, if he uses the US Civilian Courts to open up the classified documents, the international courts have all the ammo they need to twist and attack Bush.
9) I am so tired of every liberal fool blaming Bush for everything that is wrong. Obama has NO ACCOUNTABILITY with these people. Bush supporters give Bush credit for the rights AND the wrongs his administration were responsible for. Obama does nothing wrong. If something doesn't work, it is because Bush screwed things up worse than we thought.
So, passing a stimulus on the promise of a peaking unemployment rate in early summer fails. It is because Bush messed up the economy worse than Obama thought. Hmmm...okay. Let's give you that. So, that means Obama is responsible for rushing to throw good money after bad in haste when he took office? No. Obama does not get blamed for acting without proper planning. He doesn't get blame for not properly assessing the situation before passing nearly $2,000,000,000,000 in spending in less than a month. Obama gets no blame from his side.
I am tired of the sheeple that walk behind Obama no matter what, no questions asked. These sheeple will walk straight off a cliff...and take a large portion of the country and world with them.
Ok, I feel better. My 10 rants are out. I will go to bed now.

False Outrage to cover-up Bad Policy
$180 Billion to AIG.
That is $180,000,000,000, of our money given to AIG.
That is enough to give every American man, woman, and child about $500 each.
And the only outrage is over $165 million?
Look at the math. $165 million is only about 9% of the entire $185 billion given to AIG.
Where is the other 91%?
Some of it, ranging in the BILLIONS, went to foreign and European banks. American tax payer dollars intended to help AIG restructure and re-solidify were sent to European banks. And AIG is still in danger of failing.
And we are worried about $165 million going to Americans.
How ironic.
Why are not outraged at the failed policies that allowed this economic crisis to occur?
Why no outrage that a company needs to be bailed out with nearly a quarter a trillion dollars?
Instead, let's attack some money that Americans are receiving. While it its very discouraging to see these bonuses paid to employees of a failed company, the bonuses are likely the cheapest way out of the mess. These bonuses are contractually obligated. Failure to pay them would result in more bailout dollars being spend to cover for the obligatory lawsuits.
My outrage is the distraction caused by our Teleprompter President. B.O. has been picking fights with Rush Limbaugh, using quotes from John McCain's campaign, and throwing tax-payer funded galas at the White House. All the while, he has allowed and encouraged Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to run wild with the American tax payers' credit card.
My outrage is that Democrats like Chuck Schumer can go out there, without hesitation or remorse, and claim to want to tax these AIG bonuses at rates up to 90% or higher.
Can you see the precedent set by that? Isn't that a violation of the illegal search and seizure clauses in the US Constitution? You know, the Fourth Amendment to the document that is supposed to be the foundation of how our country is run.
Although the Supreme Court has eroded the US Constitution over the last 70 years, the US Constitution is still the basis for our nation.
The Fourth Amendment states:
While the usual connotation of this Amendment refers to legal matters in which the American citizen is protected from warrant-less searches and seizures in criminal matters, I do submit that this clause also applies here to the searching out of people who received these bonuses, and then the announcement by Chuck Schumer that there is the chance the Government will tax, or seize, 90% or more of these bonuses.
Isn't it a violation of rights to seek out one class or group of people, find out their names and what their contractual bonus is, and then, based on the information found in that search, which occurred without a legal warrant, to intentionally tax/seize those dollars on the limited scope with only one group of 73 people?
Isn't it illegal, or at the very least, unethical, to come out and say that the US Government is considering taxing to eliminate these bonuses?
If it does go through, and these 73 AIG employees are taxed to oblivion to recoup these dollars, can you see the precedent it sets?
Yeah, roll your eyes and claim I am just creating a slippery slope. But, you also dismissed a lot of slippery slope scenarios when we tried warning you about Obama and his left-wing, big-government, big spending agenda. Just hear me out.
The precedent set by the idea that the US Government can reach into the pockets of select citizens because they received an unpopular bonus, where would it stop? Would this money-hungry government reach into the pockets of gas company execs and tax/seize their bonuses?
OK, who cares about gas execs? Right? They're rich, greedy, and deserve to be taxed to oblivion.
Let's say a group of teachers earn attendance bonuses for not missing a day in the 180-day school year. However, they are in an area that traditionally does not do well on state and other standardized tests. Can the government reach into their pockets and take back some of their money?
Does it only stop at bonuses? Will they raise taxes on unpopular people's salaries?
Our US Government is broken. It is out of control. The Democrats are spending the money of Americans who will not be born for 3 generations.
When will it end? When will you stand up and speak your mind? When will you take it upon yourself to say, "I am an American, and my government works for me, and not the other way around!"? When will America unite and fire these power-hungry, money-hungry buffoons?
When, America? When?
That is $180,000,000,000, of our money given to AIG.
That is enough to give every American man, woman, and child about $500 each.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
While the usual connotation of this Amendment refers to legal matters in which the American citizen is protected from warrant-less searches and seizures in criminal matters, I do submit that this clause also applies here to the searching out of people who received these bonuses, and then the announcement by Chuck Schumer that there is the chance the Government will tax, or seize, 90% or more of these bonuses.

No longer in the USA...Now the USS(R)A
Socialism...HERE WE COME!!!!
Corruption, poor judgement, poor character, and a genuine lack of leadership and foresight.
This, my friends, is the "Change we can believe in!"
So, let me get this straight.
Barry's new head honcho of the Treasury is Timothy Geithner. Geithner will be in charge of Obama's economic team and the US Treasury, which runs the Internal Revenue Service, the people who collect your taxes.
This despite the fact that Geithner is an admitted tax cheat.
Maybe you mess up once or even twice on your taxes. Maybe you miscalculate the amount owed. Maybe an audit catches your error. You work it out, pay your back-taxes and your penalties.
This guy, the new head of the Treasury and the IRS, made an 'honest' mistake for FOUR YEARS. A FOUR YEAR mistake. You or I make the mistake, we have to take out a loan, if we can, to pay off the penalties, let alone the interest and the actual principal of the taxes owed. This guy gets a big time job in charge of the same entity he failed to pay for 4 years. On top of it all, he had no intentions, as he admitted to Congress, to pay those taxes until he did, approximately one week prior to accepting the nomination.
Even the old KKK Klansman Robert C. Byrd admitted in a statement, "Had he not been nominated for treasury secretary, it's doubtful that he would have ever paid these taxes."
Not only this, but this guy has direct links to money that was doled out in the first half of the "Bailout" from October. And we know how well that has worked.
Yet he flies through confirmation quicker than the flush of a toilet...which is the general direction that this new Change is taking us.
How much corruption and greed and inappropriateness is this country going to overlook? Where is the outrage?
We freak out when an executive earns a large bonus in a company who's money is being spent irresponsibly. Yet no one panics when our elected officials waste billions upon billions of OUR dollars.
Where is the outrage over the mismanagement of our country?
Obama is surrounding himself with the epitome of corruption, poor leadership, poor ethics, and lack of caring for our country's future.
We have a corrupt tax evader in charge of the treasury...kind of like a pedophile as a kindergarten teacher...Joe Biden runs his gums about everyone's patriotic duty to pay higher taxes, yet his administration hires someone who evaded taxes for FOUR years. Does this mean that Geithner is not a patriot? By Biden's definition, appearantly Geithner is not a patriot.
Why is it only a few conservative/libertarian commentators and a relative handful of conservative bloggers notice a pattern to Obama's politics and allies?
Reverend Wright- Anti-American and racist, divisive comments from the pulpit.
Father Flager- Racist, sexist, and divisive comments from the same pulpit from which Wright preached and to which Obama listened to for 20 years.
Tony Rezko- He is in jail for his real estate dealings. He and Obama worked out a very questionable/odd real estate deal in Chicago. Property changed hands at below market values and switched back at forth between the two. Rezko and Obama worked together on Chicago projects for low income housing, all of which are failed, boarded up, and crumbling...millions of tax dollars wasting in inner city Chicago.
William Ayers- Obama lent his name and standing to write a blurb on the cover jacket of Ayers' book. Our President supported the work and writing of a terrorist who still propagandizes anti-American rhetoric, only now in the form of a Professor instead of terrorist leader. Process this thought: Obama endorsed a man who helped orchestrate domestic terrorism...So, Osama Bin Laden and Barack Hussein Obama have something in common: THEY BOTH HAVE CLOSELY WORKED WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE ATTACKED AMERICANS! Think about that...
Rod Blagojevic- Rod and Barry campaigned for each other. Rohm Emmanuel has been an emmissary of Obama to speak with Blago about many things, including Obama's former Senate seat. Blago and Obama have spent time working together, and to the extent of their dealings related to the Senate seat, we may never know. However, if one looks at the kind of people Obama is friendly with, it is easy to speculate.
Timothy Geithner- For four years, this financial whiz kid FAILED TO PAY TAXES on his idependent contractor job with the International Monetary Fund, despite recieving numerous prompts from the IMF and the IRS to pay those taxes. Even staunch liberal "Big Daddy" Robert Byrd admits Geithner would not have paid these taxes had he not been tapped to lead the treasury. And now he is in charge of the IRS...no wonder he had to pay no penalties. Interesting...

First Post of the New Year
Yeah, okay. I've been bitter and sad that we have an Obama-nation as president as of 12pm on Tuesday. I've been sulking and not writing. I've been wondering what is wrong with us.
On Tuesday, the Rock star that would be God, if only the Democrats allowed God into the Government, Barack Hussein (Yes, we can say it now!!) Obama will be sworn in as President. He becomes the first black president of these United States, and does so with no real qualifications other than the fact that he is 'articulate' and 'intelligent,' especially considering he is black...you know, the one feature about him that they would not let you forget.
Nearly every person this man is associated with is dirty on some level. Governor Richardson could not accept his post for some shady campaign situations. The man he taps to lead the Treasury and the IRS failed to pay his taxes on his Independent Contractor job, right up until he was nominated to run the organization he owed 6 years of back-taxes to.
Yet, Chris Matthews and the entire mass media have tingly feelings up their legs when they hear his name. They will sell out home and country to make sure that they protect him from his own foolishness and inexperience. In the next 4 years, the United States could collapse into total ruin, and the New York Times and NBC will still be blaming Bush, with zero blame on Obama.
It will be a tough four years for Conservatism. Republicans are flocking to be the next to reach across the aisle and get some media love by making positive and supportive statements about Obama. He organized this big dinner with 'conservatives' (which, in this case, means a few people not so far left they are falling off the edge who are actually just left of center to just about right of center). People are drinking the kool-aid in mass.
Where are the Conservative leaders? I think 2009-2010 should be two years in which there should emerge a third party. I feel that Republicans have allowed themselves to be hoodwinked into becoming moderate Democrats. We need a new, Conservative party. We need people like Bobby Jindal, Sarah Palin, George Allen, Jeb Bush, Governor Pawlenty, and many of the like, to all join together.
Washington is broken. The media is broken. Even the one-time conservative safe-haven of Fox News is becoming slightly more left than it once was. There are still conservatives there, but the left is creeping in day by day.
America is a Conservative country. In national elections, where Conservatism is strongly represented on the ballots, American Conservatism answers the election call in immense quantities.
Conservatism is not dead...it is in exile. We let John McCain take the Republican Party to the left. We let the White House and the Congress go to the Left. We need to regroup, reorganize, and win back the Houses in 2010. Then, we need to keep pushing, fighting, clawing, scraping, and standing up for our beliefs and win back the White House in 2012.
It is time, now, to start preparing to fight the media, Obama-ites, and the apathetic masses who only listen to the 5 second soundbites on NBC. We need to bring Conservatism back to our Government...
And we need to do so before the Government buys everything.
Oh, and by the way, to anyone who buys the myth of Global Warming...why is it so freaking COLD in America right now?

Merry Christmas!!
As we enter the final week of a wild 2008, I just wanted to take pause to speak on a few things.
First, and foremost, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! I hope today's events lifted your spirits and gave you reason to once again be thankful for all of your blessings.
In this fast-paced, reaction over response society, we are allowing too much of what is on the news to determine our spiritual, emotional, and relationship well-being. We panic because th Dow keeps going down. We cringe each time another business goes belly-up. We dig our nails into the arms of the chair we are sitting in whenever we hear the words "bail out."
Since the bubble burst in September, the country has become psychologically depressed, which has led to a vicious cycle that is worsening the problem. We let the repetitive news cycle destroy our collective, and individual, psyche. We have let the noise drown out the truth...that we are really, truly, okay.
If you are reading this, be thankful. You have access to electricity, and the luxury...yes, luxury...of internet access. If your stomach is not turning and growling like a caged animal, be thankful. You have access to food. If you tell someone that you agreed with or disagreed with in this, or any other blog, be thankful. You have someone to talk to. If you have to pause while reading this because of a doorbell or phone ringing, be thankful. You have people who want to reach you, and you have a place at which you can be reached. If the kids won't go to bed tonight because they are still excited about what they got this morning, be thankful. You made a child's day and were able to share time with people.
We are not in a Great Depression. We are just depressed.
For the rest of the holiday season, re-ignite your loves...your family, your hobbies, your friendships. Turn on the TV for only the local weather, or better yet, just click over to accuweather.com or theweatherchannel.com and get your weather forecast. Ignore the news for the rest of the year. Then, turn on the TV on the 31st to count down to a new year...a new beginning.
If you end 2008 on that note, regardless of you job situation, your 401K situation, or your investment situation...if you invest yourself into your loves, 2008 will definitely end on a high note for you.
Merry Christmas! God Bless us all this holiday season!

It has been a while...My Apologies...
For the last 3 weeks or so, I have been sulking, politically, and busy, professionally, thus preventing more of my words of mediocrity from appearing on this blog site. I apologize to my hundreds of readers for my delays in getting back to you, both on here, and through the many emails you have sent.
So, let me recap what has gone on since I last posted.
We are gearing up for a new Clinton administration, a third term for Bill and Hillary's people. Barack even admitted that he was intentionally hiring former Clinton people because he wanted experienced people on his staff. However, with Hillary the most likely Secretary of State, and Bill publicly stating interest in a job in the president-elect's cabinet, America is entering into the 1990's all over again. Higher taxes are on the way! Oh, and in bad news for the economy, this Clinton regime will not have the internet boom fall into its collective lap this time around.
Congress, with their 59 Democrats in the Senate, is spending like there is no tomorrow. Since some of our Republican friends thought that acting like a Democrat and spending more than we have was how to get re-elected, we have no one left to fight for spending control. Except when it comes to the military. They are all for gutting the military...similar to what happened 10 minutes after Bill took office in 1993. Then, for 8 years, our weakened military was unable to fight off terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, two US Embassies in Africa, and the USS Cole. (The same military and defense cuts led to our vulnerability to the 9-11 attacks.)
Everyone from the city of Chicago (fully under the impression of the buddy-boy network now that their puppet is the president-elect), to the state of Cahl-EEE-foh-nee-yah; from the mom and pop candy store to the biggest automakers in the United States; are all asking...or, begging...for a big slice of the open flood of money from Washington. It is downright sad. There is such a panic over the economy, 99% of which is exacerbated by the 24-hour, repetitive news cycle, that everyone is making a run on any money they can get their paws on, no one taking a moment to really think of where this money is coming from, or what the price is going to be in the long run.
The one bright spot of the 2008 elections, well, the one successful bright spot, if you will, was Saxby Chambliss fending off the millions of Obama-aid send to Georgia to reclaim his seat in the Senate, thus preventing the filibuster-prof majority for the Democrats. Saxby will be looked to for leadership and strength, as he is one of the few Republicans to be able to return to Washington in January. Saxby won by double-digit margins, thus preventing a drawn-out, lawsuit-filled holiday season, as there would assuredly be suit after suit after suit should the polls have been withing 5 points. So, Saxby Chambliss is the one hero that Republicans can look to for the next couple of years. He fought the "Obama-mania media" and the Liberals from NYC to LA to win back his seat.
Next, I want to address the pseudo-controversy surrounding Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell. His comments about Janet Napolitano, Obama's pick to head Homeland Security. The same media who criticized Sarah Palin for having 5 kids is now attacking Rendell for his comments. He made a comment, that was unknowingly picked up by a nearby live mic, that said that since Napolitano does not have a family, she is a great pick for the job, because she can devote 19-20 hours a day to the job. To me, Rendell was only repeating the logic that many used to attack Sarah Palin. Now they are upset at this logic? In addition, this comment was not sexist, as many are purporting to be. The quote was, "Janet's perfect for that job. Because for that job, you have to have no life. Janet has no family. Perfect. She can devote, literally, 19-20 hours a day to it." The only reference to her gender came in the form of pronouns used instead of her name. There was no reference to her gender other than that. It just goes to show how sensitive and ready to pounce people are today. Everyone is looking for a reason to get mad at someone.
Previously in this piece, I referred to Chambliss as the 'one successful brightspot' in this year's campaign cycle. There can be arguments as to how successful she was, but the fact is she did not get elected. And I do blame her running mate as much as I do the left-wing media that actively campaigned for her opponents. I am talking, of course, about the "breath of fresh air," Governor Sarah Palin. She was the bright spot to outshine all bright spots. She, and she alone, carried John McCain to a lead in September. Then the financial crisis hit, and then the media put the blame solely on the Bush Administration, and that proved to be too much for even the bright-eyed, intelligent, strong Conservative leader Palin.
However, I do believe that Sarah Palin may well repeat her own Modus Operondai come 2012. If you know much about her, you know that before winning the Governorship, Palin did lose a bid to become Lieutenant Governor her first time around. So, perhaps, in 2012, it is time for her to take a step up, much as she did in Alaska. A Palin-Romney ticket sounds great to me. Or, perhaps, Sarah Palin-General David Petraeus ticket? Okay, I am stretching it there, but Petraeus has climbed about as high as anyone can in the military. In four years, he may want to climb to a higher office.
It has been a hard month to swallow. It sickens me how much of a rock star our president-elect is. He is not a leader. He was not elected to be a leader. He is simply installing Clinton Administration 2.0, then going around talking good. However, Saxby Chambliss helped America avoid sheer disaster, and may just be enough for us to limp to the 2010 mid-terms, where I hope people like Sarah Palin are the face of the party, and not these middle of the road phonies who think Republicans need to lean left, instead of the Democrats leaning from the FAR FAR FAR left toward the center.
I am hopeful.
I do want to add that I had a lot of ground to cover in this piece, and I did not want to include the Black Friday tragedies and the India Terrorist Attacks in with this litany of commentary. I will discuss those events in coming blogs. Thank you for your time!

Sadly, America is doomed.
What is wrong with us nowadays? We have no patience. No forward thinking. We have a national ADD.
Most of America was solidly AGAINST the bailout scam. Then, we, as a nation, panic as the Dow takes a dive. We start a national hysteria over something that can, in time, correct itself. At least correct itself to a point without needing to used BILLIONS and BILLIONS in tax payer dollars to cover up for Democrats' shortcomings.
This "crisis" started when Slick Willy's economic buffoons came up with the idea that EVERYONE should OWN a home. Everyone!!! So, the edict came down that, regardless of true credit and ability to repay the loan, money was thrown by the dump-truck-load down a bottomless pit of mortgages for the uncreditworthy.
Many Republicans, including current Presidential candidate John McCain, warned of this crisis as early as 2004. Yet, the very Democratic morons that are on the stump whining about lack of oversight and "failed Bush economic policies" are the ones who rejected oversight and control of this market. Why?
Well, mainly because most, if not all, of the democratic leadership was pocketing huge sums of money from these failing companies, like Countrywide, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. Chris Dodd recieved the most money, with Barack Hussein Obama receiving the second most in "kickbacks" from these companies.
So, now that the failures of these financial institutions are directly affecting the pockets of the democratic leadership, suddenly they can put in overtime to pass a bill to help out.
Amazing that there was not this much dedication to helping the American people when Republicans wanted to vote on off-shore drilling in August. A real problem with a need for immediate solution was not important enough for Congress to stay a day or two into their second Summer recess. Instead, Pelosi virtually shut off all electricity to the Capitol Building to force everyone to recess.
This new bill is more full of pork than can be described. It is ridiculous. An yet, Americans are buying into the hysteria and allowing this garbage to go through.
It is time for John McCain to make these porkers famous, as he so claims to want to do as President. It is time for the McCain campaign to load up the guns and fire away with the truth! It is time for the politeness and the diplomacy of the McCain campaign to come to a halt. It is time that McCain become the leader we know he can and lead us out of these dark, hysterical days.
Or else, Obama will lead us further into the abyss, and we might never come out.
