Political Turmoil!

I am appalled that the justice department is going to prosecute other prosecutors for giving legal opinions during the Bush Administration in dealing with terrorists.

Here's a link to a national debt clock. You better be sitting down because it is ugly and it is moving so fast you can hardly keep up with the numbers.

People need to get vocal and loud and tell Washington to slow things down and quit using the national credit card!

As a kid, I always worried that China would invade us and take over our country. Well, they won't have to invade us. They will just have to call in our debt.

What does the former GE COB say?

"With Congress all over the auto restructuring, plant closing calls to CEO, dealer hearings, etc., have to think chances for success are diminished."
-Jack Welch, June 13, 2009




The Government would do well to give the bailout money in the form of stimulus cash rebates to forgive mortgages or pay down debt to taxpayers. They could also reinstate the tax exemption for credit card interest to help those out who have been living on credit.

I've read that Demos claim that a lot of the town hall meetings are being sabotaged by repubs who have scripted and are not representing main-stream Americans. According to this posting on Youtube, this is what that poster said. "I, David William Hedrick, a member of the silent majority, decided that I was not going to be silent anymore. So, I let U.S. Congressman Brian Baird have it. I was one questioner out of 38, that was called at random from an audience that started at 3,000 earlier in the evening. Not expecting to be called on, I quickly scratched what I wanted to say on a borrowed piece of paper and with a pen that I borrowed from someone else in the audience minutes before I spoke. So much for the planned talking points of the right wing conspiracy."

Right wing conspiracy indeed!

O'Reilly isn't always the calm and polished guy he is these days. I've posted this link to show he seems to be better suited for political commentary than he was in the entertainment business.

You know, when the number of Czars in Russia got out of control, they threw them out, and wound up with a bunch of communists.

Now there will be a Czar in charge of interrogating "high target" detainees. A committee commissioned by the President, met for months and guess what, they decided the existing interrogation rules already in place for the Army is just fine. But we will have a committee to work on our "high target" detainees or terrorists.

Given the dismal track record of this administration so far, I seriously doubt there will be any captured "high target" terrorists in our custody.

Our attorney general has announced an inquisition(my word), to look into previous improper interrogations despite the fact they were sanctioned by the last justice department and president. If he wants to go after someone, then just go after Gonzales or Bush. What they are going to do is drive away any decent human intelligence officers we have developed and we will be right back in the mess we had during the Clinton Administration.

Does anyone remember all the terrorists acts against US targets during Clinton's rule? And what about 9-11? Shortly after Bush took office?

Our current attorney general has just made it much more attractive to make US citizens, interests and our country a terrorist target. I just hope something really significant doesn't have to happen before their attitude changes.

My dad used to tell me that a liberal was just a Republican who hadn't been mugged yet. Let's hope that this Democratic president doesn't need to have that happen at our expense before there is a foreign policy change.

I had a chance to catch some "news" this morning. The lead story on NBC this morning was a bunch of idiot commentators talking about a poll if Americans are upset because Michelle Obama came out of Air Force One wearing shorts.

All I can say is Oh, My, God!

With all the stuff going on, they are worried about this and somebody commissioned a poll?

It's time for reporters and news producers to go live is South L.A. or North Minneapolis or just walk around Queens in NY for a while.

I bet Ed Murrow is rolling in his grave. We certainly need all the good luck he can provide us.

Apparently the tipping point has been reached even in liberal Minnesota. A reader sent me this picture. It looks like even the Demos are longing for better days.



Of course the Demos in Minnesota call themselves DFL. Democratic Farmer Labor party which is a carryover from their Socialist Governor Anderson.

See you down the road Comrade!

Take a gander at this link

As opposed to the servant leadership portrayed by a previous president.
