Calif. wants federal government to back its loans
May 27, 3:52 PM (ET)
By JUDY LIN

*** begin quote ***

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – If AIG was too big to fail, how about the world’s eighth-largest economy?

In a move with only one modern-day precedent, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Democratic lawmakers are pressing the Obama administration and members of Congress for federal loan guarantees to help the state out of a desperate, multibillion-dollar jam.

California is not asking for cash, like the tens of billions given to AIG, General Motors or Morgan Stanley. (MS) Instead, the state with the worst credit rating in the nation is asking that Washington act as a sort of co-signer on the state’s borrowing, to be backed up with money from the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

*** end quote ***

No!

The S&L crisis started with Federal guarantees.

And, why should the taxpayers be bailing out CA bond holdrs?

Sorry, that the breaks.

Maybe CA should elect some politicians with fiscal responsibility.

What happens when and if CA goes under?

Has it ever happened before?

Maybe CA should secede? Or the USA from it.

Like voting it off the continent?

POLITICAL: Chryslerdealer closings politically motivated? Shocking!

More evidence emerges that Chrysler Dealer closings was politically motivated
Rick Moran

*** begin quote ***

This story is about ready to explode. All the ingredients are there for a gigantic political scandal that would shake the Obama administration to its foundation and perhaps take down several high ranking officials. All that’s needed is one connecting piece of evidence that would tie the White House Automotive Task Force to some political arm of the Democratic party.

*** end quote ***

“I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” Captain Renault in Casablanca

I’m shocked that POLITICS might have entered into the consideration of what dealers got nuked.

Chicago style?

Hopefully those dealers will get some measure of compensation from an obvious violation of the Fifth Amendment (The “takings” clause for those who went to gooferment skool!)

And, maybe the mainstream media will recover some stones to do some real reporting.

POLITICAL: Notre Dame accomplished labeling Obama as an abortionist

Wednesday, May 27, 2009

2 points of truth among Obama’s ‘wild word fraud’
Posted: May 20, 2009
Jill Stanek fought to stop “live-birth abortion” after witnessing one as a registered nurse at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill.

*** begin quote ***

But one thing is for sure: Obama has now been branded as radically pro-abortion. What pro-lifers have unsuccessfully attempted since 2004 when Obama ran for U.S. Senate, he and Notre Dame accomplished in a month.

*** end quote ***

I guess we outed two abortion supporters — Notre Dame and Obama.

It was terrible price to pay. The loss of a once great Catholic university.

POLITICAL: Can’t beleive anything a politician or his pr flaks report

FROM DRUDGE:

*** begin quote ***

Obama observes Memorial Day at Arlington cemetery…

PLAYS GOLF?

Subject: Pool report 5/25/09

POTUS is, reportedly, golfing with Marvin Nicholson. No actual glimpses of the presidential golf game. Aides say POTUS paused at 3 p.m. to observe a moment of silence.

*** end quote ***

Does anyone REALLY believe that?

I don’t!

Especially since he was out of sight.

Sorry.

POLITICS: Press misses the “salt in the wound” at Notre Dame

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=ap-obama-notredame

Obama takes a run at Notre Dame football

# – # – #

Without getting into the crux of the controversy, I believe the author has misstated the upset. It was the “honorary degree” that sent everyone over the top. The Council of Bishops expressly prohibited “honoring”. That’s what sent everything into overdrive. And, his far “left” stance on abortion (i.e., infanticide). Well, Notre Dame did do one thing; it activated all the pro-lifers and firmly hung the “pro-abortion” label on President Obama. With Government Motors, the non-stimulating stimulus pork bil, and the huge 9T$ over 4 years, it would appears that reelection is far from a certainty. And, the House may turn over in 2010. Good work, Notre Dame. Too bad they had to sell their soul to do it.

   1. Put an immediate freeze on government spending at all levels.

If the gooferment wanted to jump start the economy, all they have to do is get out of the way.

POLITICIAL: BIG GOVERNMENT can’t solve problems

Sunday, April 5, 2009

http://www.lewrockwell.com/french/french111.html

The Lies are Sacred, Blessed by Government
by Doug French

*** begin quote ***

The real trouble, as professor Cleveland points out, is that the vast majority of people have accepted big government as the solver of all problems, thus Obama’s overwhelming election victory. Education is what is needed to fix this problem. It won’t happen overnight, but if more young people read sound, well-written books like professor Cleveland’s, the nation will ultimately return to its roots.

*** end quote ***

As Regan said, “Government isn’t the solution; it’s the problem”.

How right he was.

Unfortunately, the sheep people won’t understand that,

POLITICS: small government is possible™

Small Government News
small government is possible™
Thursday April 2, 2009
Publisher: Carla Howell
Editor: Michael Cloud

*** begin quote ***

“Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.”

-Tom Paine

*** and ***

Big Government must close its doors forever — and leave nothing but small government, limited to defending our lives, liberties, and property. And the prosperity produced by a thriving, booming private enterprise system, in a swiftly-growing private sector.

*** end quote ***

As a country, we have a lot of “clutter” in the gooferment. Time to clean it out. Legitimate government has only one legitimate function to protect our rights from foreign and domestic aggression.

POLITICAL: Signs of revolution from the little people

Thursday, April 2, 2009

http://www.takimag.com/site/article/state_of_revolution/

State of Revolution
Posted by Jack Hunter on March 23, 2009
The national movement for state sovereignty

*** begin quote ***

For now, states’ rights legislation promises to remain symbolic, unless actions by the Obama administration pushes state legislatures toward more radical methods of circumventing federal power—or high profile, mainstream conservatives finally rally the troops by promoting what could potentially be the most serious right-wing resistance against the state in recent memory. Given Conservatism Inc.‘s current track record, we’re likely to see much worse from Obama before we ever get anything useful out of them. And states’ rights-minded legislators, with no support from their national party or allegedly sympathetic “conservative” media, will be left to defend themselves and their constituents as little more than hyperbolic Confederate retreads, two steps from “shooting at the Park Service guys out at Fort Sumter” and one-step from the loony bin—for even daring to question the legitimacy of the omnipotent modern state.

*** end quote ***

At some point, how does the “Third American Revolution” start?

Collapse of the dollar? Civil unrest? Non-violent non-cooperation? In the Jury Box? Tax revolt?

Or, does the slave merely set down their burden and refuse to pick it up.

Do the “rich” just throttle back on their earnings. Retire early. Or just “give up”?

POLITICS: contempt for America’s newspapers

No Bailout for America’s Newspapers!
by L. Neil Smith

From the page: “I have never had anything but contempt for America’s “greatest” newspapers.”

# – # – #

I agree. The “liberal” media has a political agenda that is at odds with the American spirit. They have driven us to where we are: “political correctness”, an “entitlement mentality”, a psuedo “drug war”, and a huge gooferment.
