Hi,
The economy leaves me at a loss for words. This brinksmanship thing is propaganda at its worst and of course the media loves it. MORE DRAMATICS, MORE LISTENERS, MORE MONEY IN THE BANK-- JUST LIKE THE ELECTION.
It's a strange thing about the press and the media. HAVING BEEN A MEMBER OF THE FOURTH ESTATE IN THE LONG PAST I watch with shock their present day antics! They are their own worst enemies.When they use politics for their own aims, it makes enemies all around. If a government gains too much control, the first ones to lose are the press and the media either by dictatorial control or annihilation. Of course, the press and media are always willing to instruct people that they should not make the same mistakes twice. THEY OUGHT TO KNOW CONSIDERING THEY DO THIS TIME AND AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
So when they over- emphasize divisions in the country's decisions and over-dramatize a financial debt that leaves the best economic advisors gasping, it greatly affects the well being of our country and is reprehensible. Most of the rhetoric is for the media's bottom line. IT IS THE DRAMA that affects the public's reading and listening. IT IS THE DRAMA that raises subscriptions, listening ratings and promotes advertising and sponsoring.
This kind of influence-making by the media began with the Viet Nam war. Prior to that time the press had kept a handle on dramatic efforts to scare citizens to death with death. But the unpopularity of the Viet Nahm conflict bought the press public opinion control. Once they discovered what a big money maker that kind of reporting engendered, there was no stopping the onslaught of media and press on the public
I'm not saying that the Press hadn't done this kind of thing before. But they didn't have TV and computers to spread it on a upscale basis nor the proliferation of photography to enhance the drama. With those additions the media became an instrument not for the listeners' good but the equivalent of a horror show called the NIGHTLY NEWS. It no longer sought a fair and unbiased assessment of what was happening in Washington and around the world. It sought the sensational news LIKE GOSSIP MONGERS CHASING CELEBRITIES FOR ANY DIRT TO BE DUG!!!!!!!
How very sad to see what tried to become a noble and upright source of meaning for everyday citizens turn into a CRAZED, BIASED, UNREASONABLE, AND STRIDENT RUN FOR THE SCANDLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In my newspaper time, I heard all the high flown values, restrictions, and lectures on non biased reporting with a viable source that could be validated. It was a strong attempt by newsmen to make investigative reporting into a high minded profession and editors used their RED PEN LIBERALLY keeping everyone in line. BUT TELEVISION HAPPENED. THEN COMPUTERS HAPPENED.
These two mediums never hesitated for a moment going for the MAIN CHANCE AND THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, costs were high. Competition was keen. AND WE WENT INTO AN AGE OF THE NEXT NEW THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SURVIVAL BECAME THE NAME OF THE GAME!!!!!!!!!! MORALS WERE EXPENSIVE AND DIDN'T PROMOTE BUSINESS RAPIDLY.
Newspapers had a choice, however, and could have continued to take the HIGH ROAD BUT THEY PANICKED AS MORE AND MORE PEOPLE STOPPED SUBSCRIBING. IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE THEY SUBCOMBED TO THE EASY ROAD TO ECONOMIC WELFARE. NO WONDER THE MEDIA AND THE PRESS COULD SO EASILY RECOMMEND IT TO THE REST OF US. THEY USED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE TROUBLE IS SIMPLE. ECONOMICS IS ONLY HIGH DRAMA WHEN THERE IS TROUBLE!!!!!!!!!!! And when drama is used to solve ECONOMIC FINANCIAL PROBLEMS, THE SOLUTION OFTEN LEADS TO MORE TROUBLE. The downside of the solutions is that after the immediate BANG OF A BOOST COMES THE BANG OF A BUST !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!RECESSION HAS MANY MEANINGS IN MANY FIELDS BUT THE SAME MISTAKES HAPPEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN. BUST FOLLOWS BOOM AND THE MORE ARTIFICIAL THE BOOM, THE WORSE THE BUST.
Well, in a country's recession, do the VALUES return. In some ways. People seek God again. Man has to be more honest to find his way in the world. Folks have to help one another survive. There is less emphasis on the getting and more on the giving. We are all nicer because we HAVE TO BE (isn't that SAD--"HAVE TO BE") and eventually we rebuild toward another boom.
TROUBLE IS, SOME THINGS ARE LOST THAT NEVER RETURN. AND SOME PEOPLE NEVER LEARN BECAUSE IT'S EASIER TO GO BACK TO OLD FAULTY PRACTICES AND SO IN MANY CASES THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.
And most certainly that's what we're seeing with our FOURTH ESTATE. THEY ARE NOT SEEING THE PITFALLS OF THEIR PRACTICES NOR RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR REFORM. At least during my tenure in the newspaper business, they did see the need for reform and made a sincere effort to make it work but the TENACITY of belief when confronted by major media threats was not SOLID ENOUGH.
WHEN THE PRESS LACKS REAL VALUES, IT IS CORRUPTED. THE USEFULNESS OF THE PRESS AND THE MEDIA RESTS ONLY IN ITS UNBIASED REPORTING OF FACTS. THE OLD "WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHY, AND WHEN" WITHOUT EDITORIALIZING IS THE KEY TO HONEST REPORTING. How long has it been since you could find the five "W"s as we used to call them in a LEAD (first) paragraph of a news story. KNOW WHY? They taught the newbies in journalism school to be editors who tell you WHAT THEY THINK rather than what you need to know--the 5-W's. LET THE EDITOR DO THE THINKING ON THE EDITORIAL PAGE-that's what he's paid for!!!!!!!!!!!!When you allow everyone to write EDITORIALLY without a byline and bury the facts, you get the kind of garbage today's newspapers represent.
We recognise much of the editorializing on the TV because it's read by an individual although much of the news on media is written by FOLKS BEHIND THE SCENES WHO ARE ACTING AS UNSEEN EDITORS.
So, how do we get at the truth?????????? Not easy!!!!!!!!!!! TAKES A LOT OF THINKING AND READING AND WATCHING. DON'T JUST ACCEPT WHAT THEY TELL YOUR OR THEY PRINT. IF YOU ARE CONCERNED, HUNT FOR THE TRUTH IN A NUMBER OF PLACES. Look on the computer, check newspapers that don't agree, listen to commentators that disagree. But above all REMAIN A SKEPTIC. DON'T BE SPOON FED DRAMA.
OR YOU CAN DEMAND THAT YOUR NEWSPAPER USE THE 5 "Ws" TO REPORT THE NEWS AND THAT COLLEGES TEACH JOURNALISM STUDENTS THE VALUE OF A 'FREE' PRESS THAT PRESENTS THE NEWS NOT WISHFUL THINKING.
Cheers, Connie

ECONOMIC TURKEYS POST 134
Hi,
With Turkey day behind us, it's time to deal with the TURKEYS IN WASHINGTON. Did I ever share my Turkey stories with you? Remember that my Dad retired????to a cattle farm in Central Florida for several years when I was pre-pubescent. Cows, ducks, chickens, fresh veggies and lots of land. Sounds ideal doesn't it???????That is until his restless spirit decided a crop of TURKEYS bought young and raised free range would bolster income and feed us free.
None of us had every raised TURKEYS, OF COURSE, since we had prior to these events been basically city folks (city folks in those days had chickens and vegetable gardens) and based our knowledge on chickens. Went fine as long as the TURKEYS were young and simply foraging and eating. THEN THEY BEGAN TO GROW BIG-BIG-BIG AND AS MEAN AS ANY BIRD CAN BE--ONLY BIGGER. THEY RANGED ALL RIGHT ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!!! They were not above pushing, shoving, punching with claws open, flying at one another, and biting when they didn't get their way and not JUST EACH OTHER but humans as well. The dog and I being the smallest spent a great deal of time swatting, yelling and barking, and generally trying to escape those DUMB TURKEY'S BEAKS!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE IS NO GREATER DUMB THAN A TURKEY. THEY MAKE A MISTAKE, TAKE SOME SWATTING, TURN AROUND, RUSTLE THEIR FEATHERS AND DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE NEVER REGRETTED EATING A TURKEY SINCE!!!!!!!!
NOW IF THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THE COMMUNISTS AND THEIR ECONOMIC ATTITUDES, YOU JUST HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!! MISTAKES JUST DON'T HAPPEN IN THE COMMUNIST PARTY TO HEAR THEM TELL IT. When the Euro fails which is based on Communist collective philosophy. Hey, that's the fault of the people handling the Euro not the basic communist concept!!!!!!!!! When the Wall Street Demonstrators don't raise a crowd, that's the fault of American apathy, not the basic communist concept. When the same protestors attack Walmart's policies, a company that's doing a better job of helping out everyone, customers and workers alike than the communists and people find the COMMUNIST protests laughable, that's not the basic Communist concept at fault. As I said TURKEYS ARE DUMB--THEY THINK THEY'RE SMART BECAUSE WITH FEW IDEAS THEY KNOW THEM WELL. THEY BULLY BUT WITH ONLY A FEW IDEAS and WHEN THE IDEAS DON'T WORK, THEY JUST SHAKE THEMSELVES OFF, RUSTLE THEIR FEATHERS-------AND DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! AND AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! AND AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT WHAT THEY LACK IN SMARTS, THEY MAKE UP FOR IN PATIENCE. A TURKEY WILL KEEP DOING WHATEVER OVER AND OVER UNTIL WHATEVER IT WANTS SIMPLY YIELDS TO THE BULLYING PRESSURE OR A NEW AVENUE OF GOODIES OPENS UP AND THEY CAN TURN THEIR ATTACK ON IT.
Nature produces turkey-like behavior in all avenues. TURKEYS are great followers. What they see, they do, since most Turkeys have a limited repertoire.They can soon form a group or chorus of cackling, yaking, pecking disorder and as a group they are indeed terrifying. But you understand that all that activity is leading to only one conclusion, their inevitable demise. So it has been for Communism FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS and all over the world and so it will be in this country.
HOWEVER, WHILE IN FULL FLOWER, TURKEYS MAKE AN AWFUL LOT OF SHIT THAT HAS TO BE CONSTANTLY SHOVELED OUT SO THAT CONTAMINATION DOES NOT OCCUR. The clean up is constant and since TURKEYS ONLY CONSUME AND IGNORE THEIR WASTE, it is unfortunate that those around them must clean up the mess they make. And being BIG, STUPID, SINGLE MINDED BIRDS, THEY MAKE A BIG MESS WHEN MOVING ON TO BULLY IN OTHER AREAS.
SHIT IS NO FUN TO CLEAN UP!!!!!!!!!!!! ECONOMIC SHIT MAY LACK THE ODOR BUT DOESN'T LACK THE UNSIGHTLY AND DAMAGING PILES OF PROBLEMS CAUSED BY THE VARIOUS STAGES OF ECONOMIC INCONSISTANCES:THE UPSET OF SYSTEMATIC BALANCES BETWEEN TAXATION AND SPENDING; THE DIARRHEA OF SPENDING RECKLESSLY; THE CONSTIPATION OF HORRENDOUS DEBT: THE MIND BOGGLING CACKLING OF THWARTED TURKEYS; AND THE EVENTUAL COLLAPSE OF A ONCE
PROSPEROUS ECONOMY. Thus the inevitablity of a SHORT AND STUPID TURKEY LIFE THAT LEADS TO DEMISE.
So, when the ECONOMIC WASHINGTON TURKEYS GET YOU DOWN don't despair. HOW soon their demise will become reality I can't predict, but I can assure that unless they change FROM TURKEYS TO ANOTHER MIND SET, it will come. Then it becomes a matter of CLEANING UP THE ECONOMIC MESS but it can be done. America can be strong once more.
HAPPY TURKEY LEFTOVERS,
Cheers, Connie

THE PILGRIMS CAME HERE TO FIND FREEDOM FROM RELIGIOUS HARRASSMENT POST 133
Hi,
Well it's a week before Thanksgiving and we have a lot of blessings to VALUE and be thankful for and a lot OF SO CALLED BLESSINGS that we need to devalue more. This blogger doesn't have to point out which are which after the election.
America has after all been moving toward Socialism since Teddy Roosevelt. It's simply that we thought we could keep it in check but those who support the "Cause" don't wish to share the SPOILS WITH NON-BELIEVERS. So, we have reached the stage of 'ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL" and unfortunately the PIONEERS WHO SETTLED THIS COUNTRY ARE LONG GONE, the PILGRIMS who fled here to find FREEDOM have since departed this world, and the ANCESTORS who kept the FLAME OF A FREE PEOPLE ablaze have joined them.
We are not only in a new century but the generations in the last half of the twentieth century were unwilling to make sure their children and their children's children had a strong realization of America and the American dream. Education was left in the hands of the Socialists, who removed history as a requirement and Civics as a foolish waste of time because they were busy rewriting the parts that interfered with their view of a new Socialist America.
Even our educators themselves didn't see the lacks in the system often they were simply busy administering all the new forms or teaching their own small area with no time to worry about what had happened to the good solid American education they received.Many of the new educators were products of the new non-patriotic, non-American, non-religious system that the Socialists developed. The reasons sounded plausible. They always do until the realization takes hold.
The Socialists are well grounded in patience and slow warfare and good at punishing those who block them or disagree with them. to scare the hell out of the opposition. They educate their leaders, train them and scatter them hither, thither and yon to carry out whatever needs to be done. THEY HAVE PLACES IN YOUR COMMUNITY to run the programs they endorse without announcing themselves. A long time ago, they calculated that it would only take 10% of a truly committed group who fought for the "cause" to change a country to Socialism. Those 10% could convince enough of the rest of the population, particularly after enough freebies were in operation, to overvote, overwhelm, or over shout the rest. It has worked for them over and over again. You don't throw out a good plan that yields success.
What doesn't work for them, and they have learned to compensate for this as well, is the basic plan of socialism. It has a PERFECT RECORD OF FAILURE all over the world. It has bankrupted countries, brought them more poverty and hunger, done none of the grandiose promised shangri-la joy for many, or produced what our Socialists call a fair share. Meanwhile, it has enriched the loyal few to riches heretofore unavailable and beyond measure. America is the PLUM--THE RICH PLUM TO BE PLUCKED WITH GREAT VIGOR. SOROS, the titular head of the world party, WILL DIE RICHER, MORE CONTENT, AND WITH MORE POWER THAN EVEN HE COULD HAVE DREAMED OF HAVING.
How do the Socialists overcome the underlying fallacy of their great social plan when it fails continually?????????? It's always someone else's fault!!!!!!!!! Someone else did the wrong thing not them and socialists are attempting to overcome it!!!!!!!!!! They admit no fault--no error--no opposition to their basic plan. THEY HAVE DEVELOPED LOTS OF RHETORIC FOR THIS AND USE IT FREELY and they see folks as gullible or willing to believe it so they don't have to be bothered.
AND THEY ARE NOT PUT OFF BY DISAPPOINTMENT WHEN THEY LOSE!!!!!!!!! THEY HAD AL GORE SLATED TO BRING SOCIALISM TO AMERICA (NO WONDER THEY HATE GEORGE BUSH AND BLAME HIM FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!) BUT IT FELL TO OBAMA TO TAKE THIS STUBBORN, FREEDOM LOVING, STRONG COUNTRY TO THE BRINK.
They keep espionage at the forefront so that they can FIX BLAME on some poor, unsuspecting, hormone heavy, non-socialist (TALK TO GENERAL PETRAEUS ABOUT IRAQ AND HIS CONFLICT WITH OBAMA) and while ruining the victim's reputation or TRYING TO strangle their bank account ( TALK TO TRUMP ABOUT THE ATTACK ON HIS EMPIRE). Socialists work to convince the public of their socialistic innocence while making others look like the guilty fools who perpetrated errors. They do this in small and large ways and it is a constant for them to use partial truth with many untruths to accomplish their purpose. THEY FEEL THE CAUSE CAN DO NO WRONG. Just as they blamed Europe's tanking economy as Soros put it on the lack of total committment to the Socialist plan. WHEN WILL THEY RUN OUT OF PLAUSIBLE EXCUSES-NEVER!!!!!!!!!!! UNLESS THE PUBLIC SEES THEM AS JUST THAT AND TURNS THE CLOCK AROUND.
THAT'S WHAT RONALD REAGAN ACCOMPLISHED, TEMPORARILY, BUT OTHER POLITICIANS COULDN'T WITHSTAND THE OPPOSITION . IT CAN BE DONE BUT NOT WITHOUT A CLEAR VIEW OF WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU AND YOURS AND FACING UP TO THE FACT THAT AMERICA IS ABOUT TO LOSE ITS MOST IMPORTANT WAR!!!!!
Losing an election can be fixed eventually. Losing a country is A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM!!!
Encourage the Congress. Don't fall for the RETORHIC that the Congress is at fault. OBAMA WON'T REALLY COMPROMISE "THE CAUSE" and we have only the House of Representatives standing between FREEDOM AND SOCIALISM.
OBAMA SAID ON TV THAT HE AND MICHELLE TALKED AT HOME ABOUT WHAT AN HONOR THEY HAD RECEIVED TO BE ABLE TO LEAD THIS NATION. What was not included in that comment and probably not understood by many WAS THE UNSPOKEN MEANING OF THE SENTENCE............ WAS TO LEAD THIS NATION..... TO SOCIALISM!!!!!!!!!!
HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING BUT WHILE YOU'RE ENJOYING IT--PLEASE REMEMBER THE PILGRIMS CAME HERE TO FIND FREEDOM FROM A TYRANNY. WILL YOU CONTINUE THAT TRADITION? MAKE NO MISTAKE, SOCIALISM IN FULL BLOOM WILL BE TYRANNY.
NOTHING IS FREE IN LIFE. IT ALL REQUIRES THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CARING FOR OURSELVES, OTHERS AND OUR COUNTRY.

COMPROMISE MEANS EACH SIDE HAS TO MAKE CONCESSIONS POST132
Hi,
COMPROMISE ACCORDING TO DANIEL WEBSTER IS:" A SETTLEMENT OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OPPOSING SIDES IN WHICH EACH SIDE MAKES CONCESSIONS"
AGAIN: LISTEN UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EACH SIDE MAKES CONCESSIONS, PRESIDENT Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop bashing the losers of the election as the non-compromisers. Obama said in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS DURING HIS FIRST TERM THAT HE WAS NOT BACKING OFF ON ANY OF HIS DECISIONS--PERIOD--DOUBLE PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! UNFORTUNATELY HE GAVE THE OTHER FIFTY PERCENT OF AMERICA NO CHOICE BUT TO DIG IN THEIR HEELS AND ELECT REPRESENTATIVES THAT WOULD OPPOSE HIM WITH VIGOR!!!!!!
YES INDEEDY. MR. Obama WON THE ELECTION AND PRESERVED THE STATUS QUO IN WASHINGTON. But he only won the election by SLIGHTLY OVER 50% of the VOTE AND BY GARNERING VOTES IN THE LARGE URBAN AREAS.
That means that FIFTY PERCENT of AMERICANS SPREAD over a VERY WIDE AREA ARE NOT ON HIS SIDE!!!!!!!!!! Obama HAS TO SHOW BETTER FAITH IN *ALL* OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAN HE HAS IN THE PAST BECAUSE THIS IS NOT EUROPE. THE OTHER HALF DOES COUNT AND WON'T GO AWAY AND IF THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T REALIZE IT--HE'LL SOON FIND HIMSELF IN DEEPER DO DO.
THIS ELECTION WAS A TEACHING LESSON FOR HALF OF AMERICANS AND THE LESSONS WERE HARD BUT LEARNING IS HARD!!!!!!!! AMERICANS ARE TRULY DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS. OUR URBAN AND OUR SUBURBAN CITIZENS HAVE DIFFERENT GOALS. Of course, it's not a perfect split but close enough. THAT DIVISION INDEED NEEDS MENDING BUT NOT BY UNREASONABLE MEANS.
AS USUAL THE SOCIALISTS HAVE AN EASY ANSWER. BLAME THE REPLUBLICANS. THEY'VE BEEN DRAGGING THEIR FEET. FORGET THE FACT THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WERE ELECTED WITH A MANDATE TO DO JUST THAT.
WHY???????????
BECAUSE NO ONE WAS LISTENING TO THE OTHER HALF OF AMERICA!!!! Obama advocates were SIMPLY SAYING "SHUT UP" IN A COUNTRY THAT EMPOWERS "FREE SPEECH"!!!!!!!!!! They were saying that NON opposition to Obama was a mandate because the Obama contingent believes that the OTHER 50% OF AMERICA is stupid, ill informed, uncaring, and unrealistic. BUT THAT NON Obama supporting HALF FEELS THE SAME WAY ABOUT HIS SIDE!!!!!!!!!! Telling the opposing half NOT TO OPPOSE IS TOTALITARIANISM AT ITS WORST. IT IS WHERE EVIL BEGINS AND REVENGE AND TERRORISM TAKES OVER!!!!!!!!!
IT IS JUST WHAT OUR FOREFATHERS TRIED TO AVOID AND OPPOSE WITH THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION ASSURING FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Maybe a few Obama supporters should actually read that FAMOUS DOCUMENT to understand what America is SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT not what it has become!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Understand when Obama socialists SAY they love America, it is like saying I LOVE PIZZA BUT I WANT TO CHANGE THE RECIPE TO MAKE IT MORE LIKE TAMALES. When non-Obama followers say they love America, it is like saying I LOVE PIZZA, IT JUST NEEDS TO BE MORE AUTHENTIC!!!!!
YES, THE SOCIALISTS WON THE ELECTION but not the HEARTS AND MINDS OF ALL LOYAL AMERICANS. AND THAT WILL COME TO BEAR ON THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY WHEN IT ONCE AGAIN SWEEPS THE DOORSTEPS OF AMERICA CLEAN.
COMPROMISE MUST BEGIN WITH Obama WITH THE MAGNANIMITY OF WINNERS. ARE THE WINNERS STRONG ENOUGH TO DO THAT??????????
THE ELECTION DEFEATED FIFTY PERCENT OF AMERICA which is licking its wounds, learning some lessons, and as losers often do BECOMING STRONGER. Socialists SHOULD NOT PLAN TO PUSH them AROUND BECAUSE OF A LOST ELECTION. THEY HAVEN'T WON THE HEART AND SOUL OF AMERICA JUST THE FOREIGN ELEMENT. IT WAS ENOUGH FOR AN ELECTION NOT MUCH ELSE.
THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE HAS BEEN DOWN FOR THE COUNT BEFORE. ENEMIES HAVE WANTED TO DESTROY OUR FREEDOM AND BELIEFS FROM THE BEGINNING. OUT OF THIS ELECTION WILL COME A STRONGER 50% WHO WILL TAKE BACK OUR REPUBLIC FROM THOSE WHO WOULD CONDEMN IT TO EUROPEAN STANDARDS. IT WILL HAPPEN. THE ONLY QUESTION IS WHEN.
So Compromise must come from both sides to make America whole again but that does not mean SIMPLY GIVING IN to either point of view. There must be common ground economically. This does not have to be a nation divided by a concept of rich and poor. That's always going to exist. China has rich and poor. Islam has rich and poor. All of Europe has rich and poor. THAT'S JUST NOT AN ISSUE. There is NO SUCH THING AS A "FAIR SHARE OR SHAKE". THAT'S A CHILD'S FAIRY TALE. But there is such a thing as a world made better and Americans doing better BY GOOD FINANCIAL POLICIES!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMETHING OUR LEADERS PAST AND PRESENT HAVE FORGOTTEN.
CURRENTLY THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE A BUDGET BECAUSE WE ARE SO FAR IN DEBT!!!!!!!!!! UNLESS YOU SET THE DEBT ASIDE TO BE PAID OUT OF A PORTION OF TAXES AND MADE A BUDGET OUTSIDE THE DEBT. NUMBERS CRUNCHERS WILL FIND THIS AN UNEASY SOLUTION BUT IF CERTAIN FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED TO PAYING DOWN DEBT AND CAN'T BE USED FOR OTHER PROJECTS - DEBT WILL EVENTUALLY GO AWAY!!!!!!!!! IF A BUDGET IS STRUCK WITH REASONABLE LIMITATIONS AND ALL FAT PRODUCING ITEMS ARE REMOVED AND NO,,,I REPEAT....NO NEW ONES ARE ADDED THEN A BUDGET WILL WORK. IT WILL BE TIGHT AND DIFFICULT BUT IT CAN BE DONE.
OUR CONGRESSMEN MUST FACE UP TO THE FACT THAT PET PROJECTS HAVE TO BE SET ASIDE FOR ANOTHER TIME. WE CAN'T COPE WITH THE THINGS THAT MUST....MUST BE DONE IF WE ARE PAYING FOR LOTS OF PERKS THAT COULD OR SHOULD WAIT UNTIL WE ARE FISCALLY SOUND ONCE AGAIN. THE PRESIDENT MUST FACE UP TO THAT AS WELL!!!!!!!!!! IF WE ARE TO TALK OF COMPROMISE--EACH SIDE MUST GIVE UP SOME FAVORED PLANS OR PROJECTS FOR ANOTHER MORE PROPITIOUS TIME.
THAT'S REALITY. THAT'S ECONOMICS. THAT'S THE WAY IT IS!!!!!!!!! WHY ARE THOSE IN CHARGE SO BLIND TO WHAT IS AND HAS TO BE. IF GREECE HAD SEEN, IF FRANCE HAD SEEN, IF SPAIN HAD SEEN ETC. ETC. THEY'D BE ON THE WAY TO RECOVERY BY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE WE TO FOLLOW LIKE DOGS ON A SCENT TO THE SAME FINANCIAL DESTRUCTION???????????? I CERTAINLY HOPE NOT.
CHEERS, CONNIE

That means that FIFTY PERCENT of AMERICANS SPREAD over a VERY WIDE AREA ARE NOT ON HIS SIDE!!!!!!!!!! Obama HAS TO SHOW BETTER FAITH IN *ALL* OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAN HE HAS IN THE PAST BECAUSE THIS IS NOT EUROPE. THE OTHER HALF DOES COUNT AND WON'T GO AWAY AND IF THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T REALIZE IT--HE'LL SOON FIND HIMSELF IN DEEPER DO DO.
THIS ELECTION WAS A TEACHING LESSON FOR HALF OF AMERICANS AND THE LESSONS WERE HARD BUT LEARNING IS HARD!!!!!!!! AMERICANS ARE TRULY DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS. OUR URBAN AND OUR SUBURBAN CITIZENS HAVE DIFFERENT GOALS. Of course, it's not a perfect split but close enough. THAT DIVISION INDEED NEEDS MENDING BUT NOT BY UNREASONABLE MEANS.
AS USUAL THE SOCIALISTS HAVE AN EASY ANSWER. BLAME THE REPLUBLICANS. THEY'VE BEEN DRAGGING THEIR FEET. FORGET THE FACT THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WERE ELECTED WITH A MANDATE TO DO JUST THAT.
WHY???????????
BECAUSE NO ONE WAS LISTENING TO THE OTHER HALF OF AMERICA!!!! Obama advocates were SIMPLY SAYING "SHUT UP" IN A COUNTRY THAT EMPOWERS "FREE SPEECH"!!!!!!!!!! They were saying that NON opposition to Obama was a mandate because the Obama contingent believes that the OTHER 50% OF AMERICA is stupid, ill informed, uncaring, and unrealistic. BUT THAT NON Obama supporting HALF FEELS THE SAME WAY ABOUT HIS SIDE!!!!!!!!!! Telling the opposing half NOT TO OPPOSE IS TOTALITARIANISM AT ITS WORST. IT IS WHERE EVIL BEGINS AND REVENGE AND TERRORISM TAKES OVER!!!!!!!!!
IT IS JUST WHAT OUR FOREFATHERS TRIED TO AVOID AND OPPOSE WITH THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION ASSURING FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Maybe a few Obama supporters should actually read that FAMOUS DOCUMENT to understand what America is SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT not what it has become!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Understand when Obama socialists SAY they love America, it is like saying I LOVE PIZZA BUT I WANT TO CHANGE THE RECIPE TO MAKE IT MORE LIKE TAMALES. When non-Obama followers say they love America, it is like saying I LOVE PIZZA, IT JUST NEEDS TO BE MORE AUTHENTIC!!!!!
YES, THE SOCIALISTS WON THE ELECTION but not the HEARTS AND MINDS OF ALL LOYAL AMERICANS. AND THAT WILL COME TO BEAR ON THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY WHEN IT ONCE AGAIN SWEEPS THE DOORSTEPS OF AMERICA CLEAN.
COMPROMISE MUST BEGIN WITH Obama WITH THE MAGNANIMITY OF WINNERS. ARE THE WINNERS STRONG ENOUGH TO DO THAT??????????
THE ELECTION DEFEATED FIFTY PERCENT OF AMERICA which is licking its wounds, learning some lessons, and as losers often do BECOMING STRONGER. Socialists SHOULD NOT PLAN TO PUSH them AROUND BECAUSE OF A LOST ELECTION. THEY HAVEN'T WON THE HEART AND SOUL OF AMERICA JUST THE FOREIGN ELEMENT. IT WAS ENOUGH FOR AN ELECTION NOT MUCH ELSE.
THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE HAS BEEN DOWN FOR THE COUNT BEFORE. ENEMIES HAVE WANTED TO DESTROY OUR FREEDOM AND BELIEFS FROM THE BEGINNING. OUT OF THIS ELECTION WILL COME A STRONGER 50% WHO WILL TAKE BACK OUR REPUBLIC FROM THOSE WHO WOULD CONDEMN IT TO EUROPEAN STANDARDS. IT WILL HAPPEN. THE ONLY QUESTION IS WHEN.
So Compromise must come from both sides to make America whole again but that does not mean SIMPLY GIVING IN to either point of view. There must be common ground economically. This does not have to be a nation divided by a concept of rich and poor. That's always going to exist. China has rich and poor. Islam has rich and poor. All of Europe has rich and poor. THAT'S JUST NOT AN ISSUE. There is NO SUCH THING AS A "FAIR SHARE OR SHAKE". THAT'S A CHILD'S FAIRY TALE. But there is such a thing as a world made better and Americans doing better BY GOOD FINANCIAL POLICIES!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMETHING OUR LEADERS PAST AND PRESENT HAVE FORGOTTEN.
CURRENTLY THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE A BUDGET BECAUSE WE ARE SO FAR IN DEBT!!!!!!!!!! UNLESS YOU SET THE DEBT ASIDE TO BE PAID OUT OF A PORTION OF TAXES AND MADE A BUDGET OUTSIDE THE DEBT. NUMBERS CRUNCHERS WILL FIND THIS AN UNEASY SOLUTION BUT IF CERTAIN FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED TO PAYING DOWN DEBT AND CAN'T BE USED FOR OTHER PROJECTS - DEBT WILL EVENTUALLY GO AWAY!!!!!!!!! IF A BUDGET IS STRUCK WITH REASONABLE LIMITATIONS AND ALL FAT PRODUCING ITEMS ARE REMOVED AND NO,,,I REPEAT....NO NEW ONES ARE ADDED THEN A BUDGET WILL WORK. IT WILL BE TIGHT AND DIFFICULT BUT IT CAN BE DONE.
OUR CONGRESSMEN MUST FACE UP TO THE FACT THAT PET PROJECTS HAVE TO BE SET ASIDE FOR ANOTHER TIME. WE CAN'T COPE WITH THE THINGS THAT MUST....MUST BE DONE IF WE ARE PAYING FOR LOTS OF PERKS THAT COULD OR SHOULD WAIT UNTIL WE ARE FISCALLY SOUND ONCE AGAIN. THE PRESIDENT MUST FACE UP TO THAT AS WELL!!!!!!!!!! IF WE ARE TO TALK OF COMPROMISE--EACH SIDE MUST GIVE UP SOME FAVORED PLANS OR PROJECTS FOR ANOTHER MORE PROPITIOUS TIME.
THAT'S REALITY. THAT'S ECONOMICS. THAT'S THE WAY IT IS!!!!!!!!! WHY ARE THOSE IN CHARGE SO BLIND TO WHAT IS AND HAS TO BE. IF GREECE HAD SEEN, IF FRANCE HAD SEEN, IF SPAIN HAD SEEN ETC. ETC. THEY'D BE ON THE WAY TO RECOVERY BY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE WE TO FOLLOW LIKE DOGS ON A SCENT TO THE SAME FINANCIAL DESTRUCTION???????????? I CERTAINLY HOPE NOT.

THE SQUEEKY WHEEL GETS THE OIL - POST 131
Hi,
The tragedy in the Northeast was very sad and upsetting but something we witness in Florida too often to whine. However, since Northeasterners believe it is the SQUEEKY WHEEL THAT GETS OILED, we're certain to hear a lot of squeeking for a long time. We're sorry for their loss and hope the next time Florida is faced with so much disaster that we will become 4 day constant media coverage. After all, we keep getting told we are the fourth largest state and critical to the election.
Speaking of elections (and this blogger does that often), One wonders what effect this disaster across the country will have on the voting. Think the Socialists will feel the disaster pain AND NEGLECT TO VOTE!!!!!!! Will it occur to them to wonder if there is really a God protecting America!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course not!!!!!!!!!! It's an act of nature that has no control?????????? They assume science is all and knows no higher power!!!!!!!!!! Why would they be open to any other ideas but the ones they're so comfortable ASSUMING?????????????
REMEMBER ASSUME??????MAKES AN "ASS" OUT OF "U" AND "ME". SOCIALISTS- OPEN YOUR MINDS TO ALL OF IT. WHY DESTROY ONE IDEA JUST BECAUSE YOU HAD ANOTHER????????? IT IS POSSIBLE FOR MANY FACTORS TO BE ON THE SIDE OF
RIGHT!!!!!
The NEW YORK DANGLING CRANE IS NOT LIKE A DANGLING PARTICIPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This blogger knew a gentleman who owned a HEAVY EQUIPMENT BUSINESS for 50 years. He always said don't put heavy equipment anywhere without a backup plan for removing it in case of unexpected disaster!!!!!!!!
NEW YORK CITY--LISTEN UP. DON'T PUT THEM ON TALL BUILDINGS WITHOUT A MEANS OF REMOVING THEM PRONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?????????? OH, YOU'VE DONE IT BEFORE AND NOTHING HAPPENED??????? WELL, OF COURSE THEN WHY WOULD YOU WORRY??????? KNOW HOW MUCH THOSE MACHINES COST. THEY'RE AKIN TO THE NATIONAL DEBT. OH WELL, IT'S ONLY THAT PAPER MONEY WASHINGTON KEEPS PRINTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Speaking of SQUEEKY WHEELS as this blogger WAS DOING, Governor Chris Christie, the Republican of New Jersey, who was touted as a "good" Presidential candidate, is a firm advocate of Squeeky Wheels!!!!!!!!!!!! He was ready to back Obama's campaigning as a dedicated Presidential figure in order to help his state become first in line with FEMA. IT WAS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF TIT FOR TAT POLITICS. Christie definitely proved that he is not an advocate of "God helps those who help themselves" BUT rather the GOVERNMENT HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES TO FEMA'S MONEY!!!!!!!!! Ah well, he talks the talk, and walks the walk so he must be a true NORTHEASTERNER. YOU DID GOOD FOR YOUR STATE GOVENOR but NEW YORK AND THE REST OF THE DISASTER AREAS< WHO ARE STILL WAITING FOR FEMA, WILL PROBABLY NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR REASONING ABOUT NEW JERSEY!!!!!!!! They had some pretty scary disasters destroying their childhood memories as well.
This blogger has talked about American ingenuity and saw an example accidently on the television coverage of recovery in New York City. Wish there were more details and some reporter had picked up on the positive side of the story. A gentleman, maybe in his thirties, has invented a wood burning- fire supporting - generate electricty contraption that he took to the streets of New York in the Battery and further uptown! The beauty of this invention is that he could boil water over the fire and provide coffee, tea and hot chocolate for the cold commuters while they waited to charge their phones on his invention!!!!!!!!!! NOW IF THAT'S NOT AN EXAMPLE OF OUR AMERICAN KNOW HOW, THIS BLOGGER HASN'T A CLUE WHAT IS!!!!!!!! DID OUR MEDIA REALLY TAKE NOTICE???????????????? SO FAR, NO. THEY WERE TOO BUSY NOTICING WHAT FEMA WAS DOING!!!!!!!!!!
SPEAKING OF GOVERMENTS (and this blogger does that a lot too because financial economics is often in their hands) with all the DISASTERS NEW YORK CITY HAS SUFFERED IN RECENT YEARS THAT HAVE SHUT DOWN TRANSPORTATION AND BRIDGES--WHY HAVEN'T THE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEN OF THE CITY USED THEIR MANY TRUCKS TO TRANSPORT NEW YORKERS OVER THE BRIDGES AND INTO THE CITY????????? If any city government ever owns more vehicles in greater numbers than New York, it will probably have to become an auto agency!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE ARE ALL THOSE EMPTY TRUCKS -- FULL OF DEBRIS??????????? WELL, MAYBE PEOPLE SHOULD BE MORE IMPORTANT FOR THE FIRST FEW DAYS OR AT LEAST SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE. ANYTHING ON WHEELS SHOULD BE SET IN MOTION TO HELP THEM GET AROUND.
ANOTHER effort CAUGHT ON TV. AN INSPIRATIONAL VIEW OF AMERICAN INDIVIDUALS AT THEIR BEST IS THE STORY of a woman who drove into the main part of the city JUST TO GIVE RIDES TO COMMUNTERS WHO NEEDED TO GET TO WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SURE THERE WERE OTHERS LIKE HER. THE MAYOR COULD TAKE A LEAF OUT OF THEIR BOOK!!!!!!!!!
WE HAVE TO REALIZE THAT TOO LITTLE MEDIA ATTENTION IS NOW FOCUSED ON THE POSITIVE ASPECTS OF AMERICANS AND THEIR INITIATIVES. Not only are we a helpful people but we are a problem solving nation of folks who will find a way to succeed. MAYBE WE SHOULD STOP LISTENING TO THE NAYSAYERS AND BEGIN TO NOTICE THE POSITIVE EXPERTISE AROUND US!!!!!!!!!!!! LEFT TO OUR OWN DEVISES, WE DON'T NEED GOVERNMENT TO INTERCEDE FOR US EXCEPT IN MAJOR CALAMATIES LIKE "SANDY" and even there we do much more for ourselves than THE CREDIT we receive. START TO DEMAND THE POSITIVE FROM TV AND PAPERS. DEMAND THE NEWS BE PART DISASTER AND PART OF NEWS FROM INVENTIVE INDIVIDUAL PROBLEM SOLVING. NOT JUST "POOR US" BUT "CONGRATULATIONS TO US FOR OUR INGENUITY" !!!!!!!!!!!THEY WILL HEAR YOU BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING DOWN THE DRAIN AND DON'T KNOW WHY!!!!!!!!!!! SQUEEK A LITTLE!!!!!!!!!!
WELL, NATURE TAUGHT US AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! This blogger learned a lot from this storm and each natural disaster has a great deal to teach each of us. Plus it blows the air clean of all the pollutants that we add daily to our atmosphere and lives. Perhaps there are always lessons to be learned from nature's disasters if we take the time and effort to find them. Economically, we have a big lesson that this storm's cost will bring to the forefront.
IF WE EXPECT THE GOVERNMENT TO PAY THE BILLS FOR EVERYTHING, TAXES WILL CONTINUE TO RISE UNTIL WE CANNOT AFFORD TO CARE FOR OURSELVES AT ALL. THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S CLOSER THAN YOU REALIZE TO THE TIME WHEN WE WILL FIND OURSELVES IN THE POSITION OF GREECE, FRANCE, SPAIN, AND ENGLAND AS WHAT WE USED TO CALL "NE'ER- DO-WELLS" OR DOING POORLY FINANCIALLY.
SQUEEK A LITTLE, PARTICULARLY AT THE POLLS BY VOTING AGAINST SOCIALISM.
