Nearly every player that assisted Obama to his metoric rise from a petty community organizer to President… have been morally and ethically bankrupt AND yet we are led to believe Obama didn’t know any of this. Please… the American public is dumb, but are they really this dumb? Well maybe, but I hope not. I have nothing against Obama personally, and I actually think he is a likeable guy, but his comments about the corrupt and racist crowd he ran with at a mimimum sound disingenous and at the extreme appear to be bald ass lies. It is just not possible to have spent 20 years immersed in Chicago politics and not notice double dealing, special favors and the vitriolic rhetoric of a pure racist named Reverend Wright. I continue to hope and pray that our citizens will become more educated about the issues and less gullible, but each election that passes, my hopes are dashed by the continual re-election of inept, spineless career politicians. From my vantage point the whole system is bankrupt, and it will take more than “bumper sticker” slogans to clean up the mess in Washington. And so far, Obama has spent most of his time skywriting on people’s imaginations with flowery slogans and “feel good” platitudes.

3 things to avoid: J. Alexander’s, Crime and worthless Oakbrook Police!
Dateline: 11pm 12.10.2008: J. Alexander’s Restaurant at closing. Young white female comes into bar claiming her locks were frozen and needed lighter to heat key. My girlfriend and I put on coats to leave. Notice her purse is missing. Instincts kick in and I realize we had been robbed. I run out of the restaurant and catch 2 white females rifling through my girlfriend’s purse. I grab purse and call cops. Cops arrive in less than 1 minute and interrogate both parties. Cops advise the girls claim they don’t know how the purse got into their car. I respond that Scotty in Star Trek was a fictional character, and that the only way it got into their car was that they STOLE it. Advised by Cops, they did not have probable cause as no one saw them actually take the purse. I reply that criminals generally don’t announce their intentions to steal, but rather do it covertly. The girls were questioned and let go as again the Cops claim no probable cause. As I was driving, I was asked to take a breathalyzer at which point I happily complied. Blew 0.04 which is 1/2 legal limit. I was told I could legally drive. Moral of story… crime doesn’t pay, but DUI’s do. While I have suspected that the world has changed since my days as a kid where criminals were arrested when they stole things, today utterly implausible explanations can be proferred and accepted as fact. The notion that these 2 girls had no idea how the purse got to their car, is less believable than Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, yet that is all I can conclude from examining the facts. And if a casual observer… such as yourself, reviewed these facts you would know beyond a shadow of a doubt these 2 stole the purse. But these days, nothing is sacred nor is anything too absurd to be postulated as a rationale for commission of a crime. My dillusion with the legal system and our failing ethics among all classes of citizens continues to erode… I believe in honesty, integrity, honor, but not the American legal system nor our elected officials. Can anarchy be far behind? The majority of Americans have become the silent minority in this country. I long for the days of 3 TV channels, unlocked doors and acceptance of the word queers.
No one believes me, but we owe Social Security $43 trillion…
I continue to attempt to raise collective consciousness concerning the future of the United States through my ramblings. Folks, our Federal government promised that it would repay $43 trillion dollars beginning in 2017. Here is the link and it comes directly from Social Securities website… so if it is wrong, my guess is it is wrong in a conservative way. We all should be screaming bloody murder because this Ponzi scheme is bankrupt, and we who now are funding Social Security won’t see a dime… there are no scenarios that one could “cook up” that could ever find enough money within the Federal Budget to come up with $43 trillion let alone the $10 trillion that most Americans accept as being the extent of our debt. I pity our grandchildern…
How Dare Congress…
How dare Congress suggest any corporation replace its CEO… regardless of whether Congress provides loan guarantees or not! My friends this is truly socialism… socialism is defined as government owning the means of production. What in the hell is Congress doing if it is not moving towards “owning the means of production”. Since Roosevelt, the government has been slowly moving towards control of the means of production, but in the last year given the economic climate, the government has suddenly jumped at the opportunity to own or control our economy. And dim wits like Chris Dodd who has never held a “real job” suggesting that the CEO of GM should be removed is outrageous and egregious. WAKE UP AMERICA!!! The enemy is here and it is the Federal Government masquerading as “white knights”.
Social Security… a Ponzi scheme only dumber!
A Ponzi scheme similar to a pyramid scheme requires people to send money or invest money with the goal of getting abnormally large returns on investments. Typically the schemes go like this: First someone convinces another to invest or send money to someone on a list. Each investment or time money is sent to the person on the list, those below move up. In theory eventually those at the bottom move to the top and get huge sums of money sent to them either as checks from those in the pyramid or the Ponzi man who uses other duped people to satisfy the returns promised to the original investors, often one in the same. The big attraction is that there are abnormally large returns.
Social Security is the same thing. Workers today, are sending money to retired workers with the hopes of someday becoming retired themselves and receiving their checks from workers lower in the pyramid. The bad news is that unlike a Ponzi scheme, Social Security returns abnormally low rates of return on investment. One would be far better to invest their money in other financial vehicles. So in the end Social Security is a stupid Ponzi scheme. So I ask all you Liberals out there, do you really want the government to take over healthcare, when it can’t even design a proper Ponzi scheme… one that returns above average rates as compared to a simple “certificant of deposit”? I figure if they can’t construct a smart Ponzi scheme or pyramid scheme there is no chance they will be able to tackle healthcare for ALL!
Opie is an Idiot…
I find Opie’s recent public comments that the crimes of Nixon pale in comparison to “crimes committed in recent years” appalling, disreputable and dishonorable. Opie’s insinuation that Bush committed some type of crime on a scale more grand than Nixon just runs afoul of the facts. Bush merely exercised his Constitutional authority which was overwhelming supported by Congress, and nearly all of Clinton’s cronies. So I ask Opie where is the so-called crime. Simply using military force to protech this country is not a crime, rather it is the action of a strong independent leader. And remember Opie, terrorists invaded our homeland and killed nearly 3,000 innocent Americans. I say Opie should stick to making movies and to looking for a good toupee.
Of course this dim wit, is just another in a long list of utter retards living in Hollyweird who spew bullshit that in any country except the United States would land them in prison for treason.
There is no comparison between Nixon and Bush. Whatever you think about Bush, the man did what he thought was right. And despite his errors in judgment, his goals were noble. I respect a leader that sticks to his principles regardless of public sentiment.
Most Americans are completely unaware that Lincoln was not a particularly popular President is his time. The Civil War was a tragic time in our history… 400,000 men lost their lives which is more lives lost than WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf I and Gulf II combined. Needless to say Lincoln’s approval rating was not good, but history now ranks him in the top 3 Presidents to ever hold the office.
In any event, does anyone of sound mind and body, seriously think Saddam Hussein remaining in power would be a good thing? Does anyone think leaving the Taliban in power would have been a good thing? Would either situation, even remotely be preferred to the current situation? And in case you have forgotten, the Taliban routinely severed limbs for trumped up crimes… they ruled through sheer terror. Hussein routinely raped dozens of women because he needed to satisfy his masochistic desires. I think we can all agree Hussein and the Taliban being removed from power was a good thing… yet some pin heads like Opie have this warped sense of logic when it comes to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Opie wants to suggest somehow that Iraq and Afghanistan were wrong, yet would have us get involved in stopping genocide in Africa. What’s the difference? And to me, if we have to pick and choose where to stop genocide, I would start with those countries that harbor terrorists who actually invaded our country on 9/11. Wake up Opie, you can’t have it both ways. You can’t suggest we intervene in Africa and at the same time condemn our efforts in other countries where the atrocities are equal.
Admittedly, it is difficult to decide where to intervene… do we intervene in Africa, the Middle-East, the Far East… where do Americans lend a helping hand to plant the seeds of democracy and stop genocide? Even more basic… does America get involved in stopping atrocities in any sovereign nation? I don’t have the answer, but I am sick and tired of Opie types bitching about Americans and in particular bitching that President Bush was wrong for striking back at terrorists who invaded our country, and at the same time suggest we intervene in other countries. Actors and people of similar low IQ should stick to acting because their intellectual capacity to make sound geo-political judgments is far far above their feeble ability to separate reality from fantasy. “Acting” and “rational thinking” appear to be mutually exclusive based on the overwhelming number of clear imbeciles living in Hollyweird. They chronically give their opinions on topics they have literally no learnings or knowledge. Rather their entire rationale and logic for condemning the United State’s actions rests entirely on “feelings” and hate for America. Personally, I think Actors should stick to acting and SHUT THE FUCK UP! And that goes double for Opie and his brainless chrome dome!!!
