Finally a bailout we can all agree on!! By The Mental Pugilist

I just wanted to say wow, what a miraculous piece of flying! Captain Chelsey B Sullenberger should get the Congressional Medal of Honor. On a day that President Bush gave a speech on the last eight years of a disasterous presidency, This accident is something every American can be proud of. With all the bailouts being pushed on the American people, everyone can agree this bailout was spectacular! Imagine only having seconds to decide the fate of one hundered and fifty five people, with no engines and no place to land with out killing scores of people on the ground.
It was amazing how this heroic pilot and crew acted in such a way they did. The miracle was that the pilot was able to do something that has never happened in comerical aviation history. Land a plane ,intacked, in the middle of the Hudson River. Hats off to all the fairy boat drivers as well. We all should be proud of this bailout in the age of the federal reserve and their bailouts that pin millions of dollars on the backs of generations of Americans!

Blagojevich, Obama's secret weapon! By The Mental Pugilist

Now the Blagojevich story makes sense. For the last few weeks, I have been troubled by the news that the Illinois Governor was trying to run a pay to play scheme for Barack Obama's vacant senate seat. I have been trying to wrap my head around the implications it might have on our new incoming president. I have found the answers to my questions surrounding the sordid affair. My questions where as fallows.
1. It is given that Rahm Emanuel talked to Blago about the senate seat but , coming from the Chicago inbred cesspool, did he offer anything for Valerie Jarrett?
2. Why did Valerie Jarrett suddenly drop her name for the senate seat?
3. What is the meaning of Jesse Jackson Junior being named senate candidate five?
4. What are the implications for Obama?

All the answers can found with one person , Jesse Jackson Jr! Take a look. The Chicago Sun times is reporting that he has been an informant to Patrick Fitzgerald's FBI investigation into Blagojevich. It was reported that he has been doing this for seven years. He contacted the FBI after Blagojevich shaked him down for a $25, 000 campaign contribution after he was elected for governor in 2002. In return, Jackson's wife would have been named Illinois lottery commissioner. When Jackson didn't play ball, his wife did not get the job. In turn he went to Fitzgerald's office. You might say so what? What does this have to do with Obama?
Jesse Jackson Jr was national Co-Chair for President elect Obama's campaign. That means that he was a informant long before the campaign. When I first heard the Blagojevich scandal I thought, wow Obama dodged the largest proverbial bullet every shot! But know , it makes sense. I am sure that long before the Obama camp contacted Blagojevich about the senate seat, Jackson Jr. informed Obama of the ongoing investigation into the governor and warned him that he would want a pay to play scheme and not to fall for it! No wonder Valerie Jarret suspiciously dropped out the race! Jesse must have warned them. Know wonder Hard nosed Rahm Emanuel didn't offer anything, Jesse Jackson Jr.
Lets hope there are no more bullets and the Governor is shooting blanks! For the sake of our country!

Pakistan may not exist by the end of Obama's first term!

Over the Thanksgiving weekend, terrorist struck the Indian City of Mumbai. Now the attacks are over, we must ask ourselves what does this mean for Pakistan, U.S. and India? I predict that Pakistan has a good chance of night being around by the end of Barack Obama's first term. Pakistan and India are both Nuclear powers who have fought three wars in the last twenty years. India is already pointing the finger at actors inside Pakistan, specifically Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Let me tell you something you might not know. No one will argue that Lashkar-e-Taiba was created by the ISI to fight in Kashmir. What is even more disturbing is the CIA funded and created the ISI during the Russian war with Afghanistan. What does this all mean? Barack Obama has openly stated that Pakistan is his number one target. Osama Bin Laden is supposedly held up in the tribal areas. It is widely excepted that a majority of terrorist operations originate in Pakistan. Pakistan's civilian government does not control the country. The army and the ISI do! If India can prove the involvement of Lashkar-e-Taiba to the U.S., then look out. Opportunity is the mother of all inventions.
Barack Obama's campaign theme has been to be more diplomatic with these rogue states. Don't be fooled! Look no farther than his chief of staff Rom Emanuel. He is a American born Jew who volunteered and went back to Israel to fight! In the coming weeks, Look for India and Pakistan to ratchet up their war rhetoric. I can see a scenario where India, along with the U.S. decide once and for all to separate the Pakistan military and the ISI from their control of the country. Can you say mini nukes!!

Sanjaya Palin!!!!

Well sometimes the truth will set you free! Now that the election is over, Fox News's Carol Cameron can report on what every American already new, Sanjaya Palin had no business being a Vice Presidential candidate!! The latest is that she did not know Africa was a continent, nor who was in NAFTA. This only re-enforces ,to me, that I voted for the right candidate, President elect Barack Obama!!
This was the first time I have ever voted for a Democratic candidate for the highest office in the land. That says a lot considering I am a conservative living in Texas.
Below I will offer some suggestions ,to the conservative movement, if they want to regain their supporters ;so listen up!

1. Don't tell me you stand for small government , limited spending; then turn around and oversee eight years of the largest government expansion in U.S. history!
2. Don't tell me that you belief in limited spending when you turn around and run up the largest deficit in U.S. History!
3. Don't tell me that Barack Obama is a socialist then turn around and pass a 7 billion dollar bailout to wall street!!
4. Don't tell me that Barack Obama believes in redistribution of wealth then elect a vice president that participates in Alaska's redistribution of wealth from oil companies to its citizens!
5. Don't tell me your candidate has the experience to be president ; then turn around and nominate Sanjaya Palin!
6. Don't tell me Barack Obama's spending programs will bankrupt the economy when you spend 12 billion a month in a country (Iraq) that had nothing to do with 911!
7. Don't let all the right wing radio hosts , day in and day out, hammer Barack Obama and not look at their own party in the face!! You just look silly and stupid!! In other words you got nothing!!

People like Sean Hanity can take full credit for the implosion of the conservative movement! You are becoming more irrelevant by each passing day!! If you really want to resurrect a movement I hold dear, You would rally around true conservatives like Ron Paul!! Not John Mccain and Sanjaya Palin!!

"I wonder how it feels to be on the wrong side of history?" By The Mental Pugilist!

I am a big fan of talk radio. I love listening to the likes of Glen Beck, Michael Savage, and yes Bill O'reilly. But some, like the ones pictured above, I often want to ask to my radio, "hey buddy, how does it feel to be on the wrong side of history"? Let me explain. Most talk shows like Savage and O'reilly talk about different topics from the economy to the election. They often talk about both McCain and Obama. They cover both sides equally and give credit and criticism to each candidate. It makes their shows lively and interesting to listen too.
I can not listen to the people above anymore. Their whole show is spent talking negatively about Barack Obama!! My god it is like the movie "Ground hog Day" staring Bill Murray. Every morning I wake up listening to the same song on the radio over ad over again. I want to jump of my roof! I am a conservative and enjoy talk radio. How can the producers meet with these on air personalities and go over what are the going to talk about? "What are you going to talk out today?" "Obama" , "Obama"!! Yes but you talked about that Monday?? How do they get any type of ratings?? Its like listening to the same thing everyday. Who can stand listening to the same topics and the same view every day? I can't!
My hats are off to Beck , O'reilly, and Savage. The cover a wide range of topics and from different angles. I have an idea, the Special Forces and the CIA should use the recordings ,of the above people, and play them to the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. Talk about enhanced interrogation techniques!!!!

"Obama will be tested, first month" Can you say Iran!! By the Mental Pugilist

Wow , have you been following what people, in high places, are saying about Barack Obama's first month in office? Let me put it together for you. Collin Powell went on Meet The Press and announced his endorsement of Barack for President. What you might not have caught was at about two minutes into the interview, he stated that there would be an international crisis within the first thirty days in office. Ex Secretary of State ,Madelin Albreight echoed what Collin Powell stated. It doesn't end there. Joe Bidden said "there will be a manufactured incident to test him".
I was left scratching my head. Was there something I missed? Where there is smoke , there usually is fire. Have these people been briefed on an upcoming international incident? Do they have inside information from being ex top officials in government? Why talk about some fictitious event now? Then I read the updated intelligence estimate of Iran's nuclear weapons program. Guess when they are predicting they will be able to build there first bomb? January, 2009!!!!!!!!
The Pentagon has already briefed the two candidates on relevant intelligence matters in the event they are elected President. These whispers seem to point out that maybe we are planing a strike in January, 2009 on Iran. Think about it, Bush has no political capital to launch any strikes. Imagine Barack, the first black President announcing we are going into Iran. I think America would be rallied around his historic election and would overwhelmingly support him. I can think of no better time , politically , for a first strike! What better way to prepair the U.S. people for an Iran strike than for surrogates of Obama, the likely winner, too go public with vague warnings of a future crisis in his first month, and how we need to support the historic candidate! D-day Iran: update, January 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Yes Congressman we do understand this bill" Ya Jackass!!

Do we really deserve the leadership we have in congress? Last week , after the House Of Representatives did the will of the people and killed the Wall Street bailout bill , the senate went at it again. They took a 700 billion dollar bill and porked it up to a tune of 860 billion!! All you hear coming out of the hill was "the American people don't understand this bill, it is not a bailout but a rescue". Bull butter!!!
Let me tell you Barnie Frank. Let me tell you Harry Reid. Let me tell you Nancy Pelosi. We the people do understand and we the people will vote you out in November!! Do you understand that? Let me inform some people on what was passed. First of all, the argument was that we have to pass this so banks will be able to lend to people or else the sky will fall. If you are trying to create financial confidence in the market , you do not go on TV and tell everyone the economy is going to implode. You do not say we must bailout Wall Street or no one will be able to get credit. This only causes fear , panic, and silent bank runs! The morons on Capital Hill believe their bill will insure the credit markets will flow freely with liquidity on the backs of the tax payers. Not true!! If financial and banking institutes sell their worthless paper to the treasury, this does not mean they will turn around and lend it to you and me!! No where in the bill does it force institutions to extend credit. Most likely in this environment, Banks will constrict their lending and hold on to the tax payers money.
They want us to believe that there is strong oversight written into this bill. Not so!! I read the whole bill and the oversight committee is made up of a five person panel including Bernanke and Paulson. Let me get this straight. We the tax payers fork over 700 billion to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson; He intern, turns around and buys all his buddies on bad paper. He and Bernanke get to oversee his own work!! That's some oversight.
I am an accountant and a auditor for a large public CPA firm. The first tenant in auditing and Sarbanes Oxley is independence. That is you should never audit your own work!!! You will see , this move will sink the dollar and plunge us farther into a depression, mark my words. Didn't you find it funny that every idiot was shouting , they day after the bill was killed that the stock market went down 777 points; But did anyone mention, one day later, that DJIA went up 435 points? NOPE!! Pretty funny how that works! Or what about on Friday , when the bill passed, the DJIA went down almost 300 points. Wait a minute this was suppose to inspire confidence. It inspired that we are headed to the Amero and the bankrupting of our great nation. So go ahead and jump you idiots in Congress and Wall Street. Maybe Barnie Frank will start dating Henry Paulson and sink the whole ship!!!!!!!!!!!
