Really?....Really!?!?

The CEO of Fannie Mae becomes Treasury's bank bailout chief (read here).

Okay, regardless of who this guy is tied to politically - he shouldn't be there. Fannie & Freddie were/are major contributors to our current economic crunch. Now the person running Fannie is running the department that bails out.

Strangely, no one seems to be screaming at the top of their lungs that this makes zero sense.

God save us, please. At least please show us what we should be doing about this.

Who Needs Probing?

Creepy-smiler Pelosi said in an article (click here) that Wall St. needs to be probed.

Actually, it's high time that someone without political ambition launch a formal investigation into the rampant Congressional improprieties that have largely contributed to our current economic situation.

Then that list needs to be published and used as a tool to vote out of office any politician not acting in the best interests of our country.
Pics from the Atlanta Tea Party will be uploaded later today. Hopefully the events yesterday are showing our elected officials they better start listening. We're done taking it on the chin.

Shep Calls It Like It Is - No One Cares About CNN

Gotta love Shep. Responding to the "anti-CNN" claim made by a really arrogant reporter...from CNN.

It's a clear picture of the leftist/socialist media outlets' disturbing mindset - specifically CNN in this case - that says they think national rallies against excessive taxation is an 'anti-CNN' rally.

What? Here's a news flash for you, CNN. It's not about you. We could care less if you were on the air or not. We don't like excessive taxes, taxation without representation, etc. I'm done talking about you now since the TEA Parties are not about you...or do you not pay attention to your massive ratings slips over the past several years?

Here's Shep - - -

Same Team, Different Stories

Four different guys wrote their perspective. Their names were Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Their accounts were consistent with some variation based on their perspective - but the story was essentially the same. They spoke truth about the Truth. It makes it easier to read and believe what four different people wrote about something, or someone, when the account essentially says the same thing.

The same cannot be said about the liberals and socialists that are influencing American politics right now. Sen. Schumer says the economy is turning around. Dare he say...even growing? Then you have George "I'm a bitter, nasty old man" Soros saying we're still in the toilet and it's not going to come up even a little until 2010.

For a supposedly united group of socialists, they sure are having a difficult time agreeing with each other on what is really happening - which makes it even harder to justify listening to a word these noggen-swelled bloviators yammer on about. They don't agree on the status of the economy.

Do you wonder why? I did. Past tense. I started thinking about it. The economy may or may not be growing right now. I'm not an economy, so I'm not going to try and figure out the answer. However, I started thinking about it. Why would Soros downplay any economic growth and continue to do his part to drive things down?

He's making a killing right now. Well, he's using his previously made killing to make even more. Soros is likely spending his ill-made (though likely legitimate) billions to buy up companies and shares in companies he knows will be turning around soon. He's just trying to stifle the growth in value so he can buy on the cheap and ultimately turn an even greater profit.

Dirty pool, man.

At least the Conservatives are on the same page more of the time. You don't hear them disagreeing about the state of the economy or pontificating to no end, only to prove they're not making any sense. That's one task they, generally, successfully leave to libs.
