Now hand around the pickled eggs and beer (I used to date a submariner –!).

Having served in the Navy for 6 years from 1988 – 1994, I take offense to the drunken sailors sentence.

It is a stereotype that is undeserved.

I think you should apologize.

In Texas I learned that when you’ve dug yourself a hole, and can’t get out, you stop digging down. Stop spending like an entire carrier task force full of drunken sailors on liberty.

Simply on the theory that only then can it be correctly re made in their own image.

The fanatics aren’t just the fringe bloggers. They are this administration and all of main stream democrats.

I just couldn’t take it seriously as an honest attempt at that point. So kudos for plowing through the whole thing, I couldn’t do that.

And you’re not, Jon.

Who would report it?

One of best things we can do on the political front right now is to try to wake people up that the MSM can not be trusted. Forward articles that show this.

criminals? Because deliberately trying to sabotage the economy is treason. And if it is treason, well, we have to do something about it.

If this is indeed what is happening, then we have to look at who stands to financially benefit from it. Immediately a certain currency speculator with a history of this kind of criminal activity comes to mind. And he hides on the Dutch possession of Curacao. He has been found guilty in France of illegal acts and he is under indictment in Hungary for manipulating markets.

Guess who that is?

The president and his advisers are trying to sell the idea that the deepening of the recession is entirely laid at George Bush’s doorstep. Yet, the decisions of investors and companies are forward-looking. They are looking at what their cash flows and expenses are going to look like under the tax and regulatory policies of the current administration. They are also using, in their discounted cash flow analysis, hurdle rates that incorporate inflationary expectations and expected risk-free rates over the next five years.

I’m still having a debate in my own mind about what is going on within the Obonga administration. The people who work there and their contacts in industry surely must know and understand the things I just wrote about above. They have to! How can they not, folks? Therefore, the question comes to my mind, “Surely at least some of these people would not want to do something that deliberately sabotages the U.S. economy?” And if this really is all about sabotaging the U.S. economy, would not at least one person among them come forward to warn us all and blow the whistle on the president and the rest of the crim
