good riddance!

gyro,
I just decided that I'm tired of being stalked. It seems I'm not allowed to make comments without you going off the deep end. I'm done with this site for now.

Whoever is in charge, please cancel my account.

Yeah, the corner was very small, not one bit of wiggle room left, unless she wanted to step in it.

Paint yourself into a corner comes to mind.

But I guess, that for some there is a window in the corner to jump out of!

President Obama made a fatal mistake yesterday by declaring war on the “BANKS”; the stock market has fallen to the levels almost like there were in March of last year… He is Hell bent on his socialist ideology, he is about to send this economy in a tale spin, because he is mad over the outcome of the senate race in Massachusetts. I think we are about to see the worse came out of Chicago gangster style politics.

The Dem’s have sent a letter to the President to extend Bush tax cuts to get the economy started… He’s own party is backing away because of the ridiculous policy making that is coming out of the White House, apparently some one is getting the message up on Capital Hill… Why not the President?

This is from the WSJ:

"In 1962, President John F. Kennedy planted the seeds that grew the modern Democratic Party. That year, JFK signed executive order 10988 allowing the unionization of the federal work force. This changed everything in the American political system. Kennedy's order swung open the door for the inexorable rise of a unionized public work force in many states and cities.

This in turn led to the fantastic growth in membership of the public employee unions—The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the teachers' National Education Association.

They broke the public's bank. More than that, they entrenched a system of taking money from members' dues and spending it on political campaigns. Over time, this transformed the Democratic Party into a public-sector dependency.

The states in the North and on the coasts turned blue because blue is the color of the public-sector unions. This tax-and-spend milieu became the training ground for their politicians.

According to a study done for the Massachusetts Institute for a New Commonwealth, spending in specific public categories there skyrocketed the past 20 years (1987 to 2007).

Public safety: up 139%; social services, 130%; education, 44%. And of course Medicaid Madness, up 163%, before MassCare kicked in more Medicaid obligations.

Enter the Obama administration, the first one born and raised inside this public bubble, with zero private-sector Cabinet members. Act one: a $787 billion stimulus bill, which they brag mainly saved state and local jobs. Then came the six-month odyssey for Obama's $1 trillion health-care bill, dripping with taxes. Independent voters felt like everything was being sucked into a public-sector vortex and a political legacy that has smothered governments at all levels and is now smothering the Democratic Party.

And just one more note of gloom to ponder from a financial report I read. The four largest items in the federal budget are social security, medicaid/medicare, defense and interest of the debt. They consume almost all of current tax revenues.

But sooner or later Fed Chairman Bernanke will have to put down the Kool Aid and raise interest rates. That's when the fun will really begin. The interest on the debt will start to rapidly rise.

It is estimated that interest could consume 50% of tax revenues in a few years. The deficits now at more than a trillion dollars will explode. The government will have little choice but to start printing money, but this is a fool's errand. The inflation that it will cause will increase interest rates even more.

The result of this withering assessment is the United States is facing a looming default on it's debt and very difficult times ahead. Gosh I feel a lot better now, I think I'll go squirrel hunting.

OK Kenny,I'll bite if no one else will...ISYUHS? I ddi a little searching of acronyms and couldn't find this one.

Best answer i've heard in a long time to this question.
..... something to the effect of this being Ted Kennedy's seat.

answer: "This is no person's seat or a parties seat it is the people's seat" Sen. elect Brown

I agree a republican win in mass! wow!!! who would have ever thought that was possible.

With that I will now predict that the rank and file dem's will all migrate to the center, except the dihard left wing coasters (pelosi,frank). You will see a major shift to the center in all future bills and legislation brought to the floors of both houses so the dems can say they speak for the voters. They will down play the health care bill and now will vote against it. ( A john kerry ploy I was for it but am now against it. flip flop) They are hoping we have a short memory and forget how they voted on all the liberal bills this year and will tell us how they are now for lower spending and lower taxes and job creation.

Republicans better take heed as well some of them are not safe from the voters either. Thank God the people are starting to wake up and take back our government from all the career politicians.

We are seeing just the tip of the iceberg, beware of "Regulatory Reform."

"The legislation Obama seeks to pilot through the Senate (it already passed the House) literally gives the Secretary of the Treasury the power to seize any company in any sector which, in his judgment, is in danger of insolvency and whose failure would cause systemic damage to the national economy (aka - too big to fail).

Once the government has seized a private business under this horrific law, the Secretary of the Treasury is empowered to fire its management, replace its board of directors, wipe out the equity of its shareholders, and close any divisions or parts of it he wishes. Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez would envy such power.

CEOs of large companies will be constantly looking over their shoulders, worried about government seizure. Since there is no objective standard built into the bill - such as bankruptcy - they will never know when the feds will swoop down and lock the doors.

This policy of economic terrorism will influence investment decisions, lead to companies scaling down their size just to avoid seizure, and refusing to take risks which, while good for job creation, might mark them as potentially insolvent.

The standards for government seizure are so flexible and judgmental that a political conflict can easily escalate into a corporate seizure."

Now this is something to fear.

The Republican Party undermines personal liberties while the Democratic Party undermines economic liberties, and neither side fights to restore the liberties the other side has destroyed. This is how the push & pull of the political bonesaw is cutting our legs off. Both parties have lost all credibility.

Let's see,
Bush and the repubs spent a lot, takes away liberty's.
Democrats for 3 years now rule the Congress, spend a lot more, take away more liberty's.
PBHO the president in charge for 1 year now and spends much much more, takes away more liberty's.
And it Bush's fault that they do that.

As always, no excuses for Bush but that equation doesn't makes since except to a 10 year old..
"Don't look at the fire we started mommy,..George gave us the matches."

Now, lets be careful here. Brown is not totally conservative and if you were to look at his record, he would be considered a blue dog here is Texas. He basically stated the obvious my friends, the INDEPEDENT vote will win the election.

yes that was a great video...very emotional. Funny though how all the problems listed in the video were caused by nearly a decade of rule by the one president who did more to limit liberties than any in the history of the US.

Check outone of the best videos I've ever seen on YouTube - it tells it like it is and tells what I pray is coming:

Gyroscope, your blog post of a few days ago really does say it all. Had the Republicans stuck with the Contract with America that got them elected, they would still be in office. While I would hope they have learned their lesson, after the NRCC endorsement of a left-wing loon for a Congressional seat in New York, the NRSC backing of Charlie Crist in Florida who has to check which way the wind is blowing to decide how to vote, and Carly Fiorina in California, I have to conclude that the establishment country club Republicans still do not get it.

While it is nice to see the GOP pick up a seat, I have to wonder about the character of this man. I saw that he posed in the nude for a magazine. I have a hard time supporting someone whose morals allow for such behavior.

But hey, it's the north, so what can you do?

Good thinking Zorro, BTW please stay out there in the woods.

rollinstone,

Thanks for the head up. I'm heading out to load up on a couple thousand rounds of ammo for all my guns, a truck load of bottled water, tuna fish, crackers, and some cheese if it don't last to long. Got the extra 50 gallons of gasoline and 10 LP gas containers. Hope this don't last long or I'll have to be in the woods hunting rabbits, deer, squirrels......yeah, squirrels....that's the ticket.

Gyro, you summed up our situation very concisely. I would add just one more thing. We are not dealing here with your run of the mill Democrat or Republican, the people in power now are communists and radical leftists.

We are now in a fight for the very soul of our country, our liberty, our very freedom. Scott Brown is but a tiny bump in their radical road to socialism.

Just to be clear here, are you saying we here in Texas should look to Massachusetts for how we should vote? I never realized that Massachusetts was such a bell weather state. That's why I tune in here, to learn new things.

Lots of ways Zorro... The main reason is health care reform...

The new mantra is just say no. No new overpasses, no new sewer plants, no new schools, no new anything. Just say no, stick your head in the sand, and let the money center banks and insurance companies keep on robbing us blind. Blame everything on the other guy. BTW: When did how Massachusetts voted become so important to us here in Victoria? Yesterday?

Yep PBHO,...make fun of us stupid ole pick up drivers, with our pick up driving sons.
PBHO is getting to be such a joke.

NO MORE RINO'S!!!
