Same old song

Fiscally and morally corrupt the DC fat cats have just about ruined the nation. Neither party is exempt from the blame because no matter who did what, when, all of them allowed things to progress this far.
What sickens me is news media ignoring or downplaying the issues. We have a fiat currency other nations are trying to dump in favor of something else, weakening us. China has a shitload of our cash and is dumping it buying South American oil companies and other resources. There’s a huge list of things going on that nobody wants to talk about, it’s so unbelievably depressing that I haven’t made and entry in months.
Thanks to the idiots who forced us into the global economy we cannot even recover by ourselves anymore like we did historically. Now we’re weighed down by other countries issues and problems some of them make us look like the poster child for a healthy economy even as screwed up as we are! Frightening….

This is the man who should have been President instead of Obama

It’s funny to me when I meet people and we start talking politics, they act shocked and immediately make assumptions of racism when I mention that I can’t stand Obama. Those absurd assumptions amuse me since I don’t dislike him because of his race…. I dislike him because of his politics, his lack of integrity, and his blatant disregard of the will of the people in this country. The largest complaint of all is that he thinks he knows better than anyone else in the U.S.A. what should be done and will not listen to anything anyone else puts forward. That is why I do not like him.

If Congressman Allen West had run for President against Obama, and if he meant only half of what he said in this video, then he is the man I would have voted for in a heartbeat!!

Tired of anti-capitalist sentiments

Chuck — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 20:03:37 +0000

The ongoing vilification of the term capitalism really gets on my nerves. People have locked in their minds a mythology defining it as large amoral companies feeding resources and/or people into it’s gaping maw for no other reason than it’s own continuance. However, at least in my definition of things, that is in fact not capitalism but instead is actually Corporatism.

Once the United States was a flourishing capitalist nation of shopkeepers, skilled artisans, and farmers envied the world over. Increasingly over the last one hundred years corporate giants have crushed competitiveness, destroying small business and individuals who worked for themselves. Today citizens are enslaved to a system where the individual is lubrication for the corporate cogs driving big government.

Corporatism is defined (or re-defined depending on your viewpoint) as:

“Corporatism, also called “neo-corporatism”, is a term referring to tendencies in politics for legislators and administrations to be influenced or dominated by the interests of business enterprises, employers’ organizations, and industry trade groups. In this system government decisions are strongly influenced by which sorts of policies will lead to greater profits for favored companies.”

Photograph an Officer? Go directly to Jail!

Chuck — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 08:07:55 +0000

It’s not a board game or a bad TV movie ….it’s real life in everyday America. Photograph an Officer of the Law and go directly to Jail!

Across the country the amount of Americans being prosecuted for recording law enforcement officials in public is on the rise. These prosecutions are spawning rampant fear that anyone who would even consider recording or photographing police and other law enforcement officials at work could be criminally charged for doing so.

This is just one more example of what has become an all too typical abuse of power by out of control governmental agencies. It is no wonder that under these circumstances, grass roots organizations seeking to reign in and down size Big Government are growing faster than ever.

Just when you thought Pelosi’s nose couldn’t get any bigger

Chuck — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:48:05 +0000

The californian embarrassment known as Nancy Pelosi is once again under scrutiny for further potential lies. It’s hard to believe even californians could consider electing her to one term let alone over and over again all the years she’s been in office. It’s funny to think that the CIA is more credible than she is. What a nightmare.
