How the mighty have fallen...

I am so pissed with this whole Fred Thompson bailing to back McCain situation. I put a lot of faith and dollars into Fred. This will be a bitter pill to swallow if it pans out the way it's looking.

Years back at my (very liberal) jr. college I tried starting a conservative club because the republicans were not cutting it. I was registered independent and proud. But I wanted to see change so much that I realigned myself with the republican party to back GWB. Since then I have let things slide, and oh have they slid. With George Bush Jr. turning out to be such a liberal wank, failing us on Iraq, the economy and the border. I was thrilled when I read Fred Thompson's platform. He seemed to have a grasp on what Reagan conservatism meant. A glimmer of small government and lower taxes with a military that was second to NONE. Ideas that I still believe will keep America on top where it belongs. I will hold out a little longer to see if Fred does the RIGHT thing. My faith is shaken, but I hope the republican party has some guts left. If I leave the party again it will take WAY more than a GWB to get me back. I am sooo pissed...

What Housing Crises? (Rated R)

I know you've heard a lot about it in the news and I have been reading up and today we're gonna be talking about the "Housing crises" and the feds misguided actions towards "averting" it. I will probably piss off a few people, most likely limp wristed whining sacks of shit that don't believe in personal responsibility, but that's ok, because these are generally the same people that refuse to answer violence with violence, an attack with retaliation, so the worst that is gonna happen is they are gonna whine at me, at which point I will promptly tell them to pray to St. Doomonyou, we don't have a housing crises. What we have is a personal responsibility crises, and THAT is definitely something the government should be doing something about. Would you kids like to know WHAT the government should be doing about the personal responsibility crises? Why, it's the same thing they SHOULD be doing for the "housing crises" but aren't.....thaaaat's riiigghhhttt..........NOTHING!!!!! What we have here is thousands upon thousands, maybe even millions, of people that saw something that looked too good to be true, and in their pursuit of the American Dream they took it. What they forgot was that the American Dream, or at least the part of it that entails owning ones own home, does not entail low interest rate loans with a balloon payment in three to five years. The American Dream of owning ones own home begins and ends with PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. You save up your down payment, usually five to ten percent of the price of the house, maybe even twenty percent, under the theory that if you have so much of your hard earned money and time put into the house you are going to be serious about taking care of it and paying it off. Then you go out and find a lender that is willing to work with you to secure the loan that you would spend the next decade or two paying off, because you, during all those years that you were saving that money for a down payment also didn't run up tons of debt on credit cards, and you paid your bills on time and drove a car you could afford the payments and insurance on, and certainly wouldn't buy a car that was the equal to the cost of 1/6 of your house or buy such extravagances as flat screen TV's, iPhones and every other gadget that Amazon shopping said was THE MUST HAVE FUCKING GADGET OF THE YEAR AND IF YOU DON'T GET ONE YOU ARE THE LAMEST PERSON ON EARTH!!!! THAT is how it is supposed to be done, but NOOOOOOOOWWW we have a bunch of whining fucktwits unable to understand basic math or accept the responsibility for the loans they willingly signed up for, and we have a bunch of weak kneed blithering idiot morons in D.C. screaming about some "housing crises" when in reality the crisis is of their own fucking doing. That's RIGHT!!! This is 30 years of education policy (that the feds aren't even supposed to be involved in) coming home to roost, and I lay the blame right where it belongs, WITH THE NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION!!!The dumbed down, politically correct "education" system that now stresses making johnny "Feel good" rather than making sure johhny can fucking read or count has created a whole friggin society of people that won't take responsibility for their actions and expects government to bail them out when things get too deep.And the same people that are crying that the goverment needs to help them save their houses are the very same ones that will vote for a fucking socialist twit (a democrat for those of you, as Rush says, in Rio Lindo) come november. I am torn between suddenly becoming afflicted with a disorder that crosses Tourettes with some disorder that causes me to violently lash out at people at "random" and then wandering into some patchouli reeking coffee bar and having an "attack" and just throwing up my hands and try to get everyone to vote for the dems, quit their jobs as soon as that president is sworn in and spend all our days marching and demanding that the government take care of us. I mean, the second situation is what we have now, but at this time all of us dumbasses that actually expected to pay for our houses ourselves are quietly toiling away, while some sunuvabitch that can't bother to figure out that when the loan agent says "balloon payment" or "rate increase" it means "HEY DUMBASS, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PAY MORE MONEY AT A LATER DATE!!!!!!". You see, many of these loan agents apparently said something along the lines of "Yeah, the payment goes up in three years, but THAT is when you just REFI and get your payment lowered." The loan agents never added "unless the housing market is in a slump and all these subprime loans, like yours senor sanchez, are causing havoc in the financial markets. Then you can probably totally forget about getting a refi and you may very well be stuck with a house payment that is three times what you make every month." But hey, the loan guys aren't psychics, they are just trying to make an honest living. Who knew they were gonna get stuck with a bunch of dishonest customers. There is a reason subprime loans are subprime loans. Because the poor bastards that have shown they can't manage their finances and make too little money to support their lifestyle, such as flatscreen TVs and Cadillac Escalades are really bad loan risks. Did you ever notice you see so many people at the laundromat driving a 50 thousand dollar car? Wouldn't you buy a cheaper car and get a damned washer/dryer set? Yeah, me too.Now the question becomes, what DO we do about this "housing crises."Nothing. Let them lose their houses. Sure, it'd set the financial market around for a bit, but it certainly won't kill us, and it may very well teach a valuable lesson that needs to be relearned, mainly don't loan money to people that are bad at handling it. It'd also teach a valuable lesson to all those people who are clamoring for the government to get them out of the mess they made, and that lesson is "Hey, ASSHOLE, paying your bills is YOUR job, not your Uncle Sam's." Finally it'd put a whole lot of houses on the market under foreclosure, allowing people who have not lived in a financially suicidal way to buy some investment real estate and improve their lot in life, setting a fine example for all those asshats whining for D.C. to save their homes and showing them that with some fiscal restraint and some patience they too can partake in the American Dream.One thing though...if you do go into buying some foreclosed housing and start renting them out to the legions of suddenly houseless former home owners needing a place to stay, you might wanna do a background check and make sure they don't have a foreclosure on their record and consider not renting to them. I hear those kinds of folks don't like to pay their own bills.

First things First!

We understand that politicians and lawyers are holding you back and are doing everything we can here to free you to do your job. I can't say it enough THANK YOU for making America safe for me and my house.

Books & Globull Warming

So I have been reading a lot lately, I read "The Political Zoo" by Michael Savage last month around Thanksgiving. It was a good book. Along with the comedy of the illustrations Savage give a no holds bar view on a wide band of people from politicians (left and right) to celebrities who won't shut up. Over all it was a fun read around 300 pages, that goes nice and quick. One day I will post a book list of what I have read and it's rating according to me.

Speaking of me, I have been telling people for a long time there is no such thing as a consensus in science and whoever tells you otherwise is a idiot. Algore has been spewing his man made global warming IS happening and IS irreversible and WE have to pay for it. Now a an official U.S. Senate report written by over 400 scientist who debunk Algore's stupid myth.

Now I have heard the argument "But isn't cleaning up the planet a good idea anyway?". It sounds alright except globull warming legislation has cost taxpayers MILLIONS if not BILLIONS of dollars. Just think about the ethanol push alone that was mandated by the POTUS, since then the cost of corn has gone through the roof. This caused riots in Mexico where a corn tortilla is their wonder bread. Also the prices of beef, milk, chicken, eggs and cheese have shot up due to the fact that they all require corn. I could go on and on... Light bulbs, cars, electricity and of course gasoline itself.

Read the senate report I know it's long but if you sat through "An Inconvenient Truth" you owe it to yourself to be informed on both sides.

Me and Fred

So I googled myself today and I came up first. That freaks me out. There was a time when I was 4th but to be first is kinda weird and cool. What I hope is that it means more people were reading this blog than I thought. If so sorry about the absence. I am willing to put my differences with google aside to satisfy my legions of fans. In case I didn't mention I have very different political views than google and I am unhappy with their censoring of, well, anything. Anyway to all my fans I will be posting here again till I find some thing better.

Just in case you didn't see my "myspace" I am endorsing Fred Thompson for POTUS. http://www.fred08.com don't take my word on it read his positions on his page they speak for themselves. i know you are saying he doesn't campaign enough or he is "lazy" but I will tell you different. The MSM (mainstream media) does not want to see the likes of Fred in the White House. So they pick the candidate they think will be the biggest pushover for Clinton and play him up, Huckabee is that sucker. He is a RINO that can only be compared to Jimmy Carter. Of course there is the mayor, the mormon and the veteran but they all stand for the same thing. I know that we will NEVER have another Ronald Reagan to unite the country but Fred Thompson is the closest we are gonna get.

Deathly Hallows

So I finished the latest and hopefully last Harry Potter book yesterday, it was pretty good. Like the the previous one I am not sure how the would make it into a movie, but after seeing Order of the Phoenix I hope they don't go chop crazy.

Let me tell you at the end Harry finds out his father is Darth Vader! No spoilers here, being I am a big reading advocate I say go read the book. It took me 9 hours over 3 days. It looks huge (760+- pages) but the action keeps the flow pretty quick. Plus once your into the story you don't want to put the book down (though it can get heavy after a couple of hours, its like a brick). It is a classic good verses evil story where the hero struggles with his purpose. I know the hardcore Bible thumpers are whiny about the whole witchcraft thing but it's a fictional book! Much like T.V. and movies if you can't teach your kid about fantasy vs. reality maybe you should give the thing child to your parents and tell them to try again!

I think she ended it well, but I would have liked the epilogue to be a little different. I know she wanted to wrap up but so many characters were left out I thought a few more key details would have been nice. What happens with who and so on.
The book does contain a lot of death and blood spilling, so I would say pg-13 is right on for future readers.

It's not to late
