Monica, thanks for the link to NPR, here is the message I sent to them from Roger Ailes:

"Juan has been a staunch defender of liberal viewpoints since his tenure began at Fox News in 1997. He's an honest man whose freedom of speech is protected by Fox News on a daily basis."

Thanks to Hannity for turning me on to this quote on this radio show this afternoon.

Hey, I realize to most of the denizens here Ron Christie is a RINO (and black at that, sorry DJ), but I just want to stand up and say I just read an advance print of his next book first class mailed to me by my "boss", Soros, along with my latest million dollar "check", and I must say, it's truly "FABULOUS."

Here's the title: Look for it soon on Amazon and your local bookstore!

"Acting Straight: The Curious History of a Sexual Slur".

Here's a few of the top reviews on Amazon:

"The man is just so incisive, with the inside knowledge that only someone who actually lived it would know."

"Truly a trancendental experience; Like listening to Sammy Davis Jr. recite 'I Gotta Be Me' in Mandarin."

"Sheer artistry from a man who REALLY knows where the money is."

Go on, pre-order today. You know you want to.

Maybe Harry Reid can drive to his concession speech next month in a brand new "electric" Obamobile,if he's dumb enough to think it's not just another socialist fraud from Macdaddy Motors.....

iBD/10/20/2010/////Government Motors' all-electric car isn't all-electric and doesn't get near the touted hundreds of miles per gallon. Like "shovel-ready" jobs, maybe there's no such thing as "plug-ready" cars either.

The Chevy Volt, hailed by the Obama administration as the electric savior of the auto industry and the planet, makes its debut in showrooms next month, but it's already being rolled out for test drives by journalists. It appears we're all being taken for a ride.

So it's not an all-electric car, but rather a pricey $41,000 hybrid that requires a taxpayer-funded $7,500 subsidy to get car shoppers to look at it. But gee, even despite the false advertising about the powertrain, isn't a car that gets 230 miles per gallon of gas worth it?

We heard GM's then-CEO Fritz Henderson claim the Volt would get 230 miles per gallon in city conditions. Popular Mechanics found the Volt to get about 37.5 mpg in city driving, and Motor Trend reports: "Without any plugging in, (a weeklong trip to Grandma's house) should return fuel economy in the high 30s to low 40s."

Push Progressivism Back

With a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, We The People must stand up to the “progressives” (if that’s not a misnomer I can’t imagine what is). We can’t draw a line in the sand and say “no further”. We must push them back.

The choice this November 2nd couldn’t be more clear. You either stand for the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and America the way it was designed by our founding fathers, or you wish to “progress” to Communism.

Can someone please explain to me exactly how Communism is progress over this?:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Communism is a dead end for real human progress. Communism is a dead end for all who refuse to submit themselves to it’s iron fisted micromanagement of personal lives.

Literally.

Just ask the thousands of Cubans who were systematically murdered execution style by Castro and Chavez. If Cuba’s so great, why have so many people been willing to risk floating across miles of shark infested waters on makeshift rafts in order to escape? Ask the 60 million Chinese who died of famine during Mao’s “Great Leap Forward”. Ask the 10 million Ukrainians who starved to death while producing bumper crops of wheat for Joseph Stalin while enduring the Holodomor. Ask the citizens of Venezuela, with a food war that’s being waged since President Hugo Chavez seized control of food, forcing prices to skyrocket amid shortages and scandal over shipments left rotting at the docks.

I stand for America the way it was designed.

Everyone who stands with me, do not sit at home and take your liberties for granted!

VOTE!!

Ummah,

That reply from Hideous X is pretty much a give-away. Funny? Yes, like a dyke torn between its calling, eg, a fag hag for militant progressives, and dreams of Warrior Princess. No wonder it's always threatening torture for anti-socialists. It tries to hijack Jesus and God to turn Christian Republicans into lampshades. It might still, in its twilight zone, lobby Jesus to get a pass for Monica, so she won't be skinned alive in Gehenna, especially if she gives up George Bush, Dick Cheney and the other sadistic "haters."

It's absolutely astounding what a pitifully pathetic fraud madame xray has proven herself to be.

I'm SO SURE Jesus Christ would endorse this type of language:

I don't care how much blood money you and yours throw at Nevada and I don't care how stupid the rural hicks (in and out of the cities) are.

"I'm willing to bet money" - MJFell

The question is, are you willing to bet your SOUL and ETERNITY on it?

I am, and I do, every minute of every day.

Truth is hard. Nowadays. The last.

P.S. I'm not a disciple. There were already 13 of them. One didn't do so well. Like the GOP, always after the money, THAT one.

I am a Christian, a Follower. Sometimes very well, other times not so well. But that's the audience I'm dealing with. Perilous times require tough love.

And what's to lose? The damned are already the damned, and Lord knows He's tried everything ELSE.

******************************************************

Further evidence (as if any more was actually needed) that the unrenowned madame xray is a complete, absolute, miserable fraud.

No true Christian would stoop to such lows of "self expression". Perhaps he's a black separatist "christian" as is the current White House occupant. You know the type, where it's ok to lie, cheat, steal and completely misrepresent yourself in "the name of Christ". Nothing is off limits, so long as your agenda moves forward.

[mjfell]

P.S.

The "Christian", madame xray, doesn't even know that Christ had 12 disciples...

Monica did a good interview with the formidable Michael Savage recently. Here, while the Marxie-mooslamic moonbats mutter and flutter and shudder, is Savage on his new book and the Soros-anointed Macdaddy.....

/////President Obama is like a destructive child who takes apart a priceless watch that was carefully passed down to him. Without regard for the value of what he holds, he recklessly scatters the pieces on the floor and then can’t put them back together again. Failing to learn from his mistakes, this destructive child moves on to another room where he finds another watch to take apart. Once again, he cannot put the pieces back together. That doesn’t stop him from tearing apart yet another costly timepiece until all that’s left are the pieces of discarded, functionless watches lying at his feet. What’s worse is that nobody steps in to stop him before he destroys again.”

So sorry to be the bearer of bad news madamd xray, but facts are stubborn things:

There were twelve disciples, you fraud. Go "preach" your blasphemous thoughts elsewhere, you repeated violator of God's Nineth Commandment.

The original twelve disciples/apostles are listed in Matthew 10:2-4, “These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.” The Bible also lists the twelve disciples/apostles in Mark 3:16-19 and Luke 6:13-16.

They did it in the name of their religion, which is Islam. No, not EVERY muslim is a fanatic jihadi. No body is saying that! She is furious about these commies at NPR sucking on our taxes and then using our taxes to propogandize us for their socialism! And then disgracefully firing an honest liberal like Juan Williams who dared to say what everybody feels if seeing what look like Al Quaeda types on their plane flight. These little NPR tax-sucking socialist apparatchiks DARE to use our taxes this way! We are not bigots. We are saying the facts are the facts and we are sick and tired of being told not to say what we see and how it makes us feel! It is making her ill, this politically correct slop they are shoving down our throats!

Hezbollah Robocalls for Harry Reid !!! Supplies the Cash Behind Campaign Against Sharron Angle !!!

Yesterday, news broke that Muslim activist Tarek Beydoun of Dearbornistan paid for 250,000 robo-calls to Nevada voters against Sharron Angle, the Republican U.S. Senate candidate who will beat Harry Reid in November if we prevent-block-stop the Democrats from engaging in their trademark voter fraud !!!

http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/25361822/detail.html

Beydoun, a recent college grad, in his 20s claims he’s upset with Angle’s comments about Islamic sharia ruling Dearborn. And, in fact, she’s right, as has been documented on this site:

http://www.debbieschlussel.com

more than any other writer or commentator has. But that’s not the scoop here.

The scoop is that Beydoun worked for a Hezbollah-funded newspaper and a Hezbollah charity raided by the FBI and that it’s highly unlikely that Beydoun, himself, has the means to personally fund 250,000 robo-calls against Angle.

Parts of South Texas already in the midst of a historic drilling boom soon will get a boost from an unlikely source: China. China’s national oil company, CNOOC Ltd., will spend up to $2.2 billion to drill in partnership with Chesapeake Energy Corp. in the Eagle Ford shale, a highly productive oil and gas formation that lies under 11 counties.

HOUSTON — State-owned Chinese energy giant CNOOC is buying a multibillion-dollar stake in 600,000 acres of South Texas oil and gas fields, potentially testing the political waters for further expansion into U.S. energy reserves.

With the announcement Monday that it would pay up to $2.2 billion for a one-third stake in Chesapeake Energy assets, CNOOC lays claim to a share of properties that eventually could produce up to half a million barrels a day of oil equivalent.

[Honest Abe]

It is only a matter of time, until the sensible economy returns.

Foreign influences have taken control of our country through confluent, "legal" means. Our leaders are describing America as more a hub, than an actual nation. Such patriots, these leaders!

We always believed the Supreme Court was above coarser politics, and if call upon would restore the nation by virtue of its Constitution, but alas, we have the court saying it is guided by foreign law and, in addition, has said limitless corporate money can be spent in campaigns. Is this our national, supreme court?

Paul Volker, the patriot of the proper economy, attempted to restore the stability of the financial system by the imposition of Glass-Steagall, with limits of proprietary trading. Which mortgage taker threw him under the bus? How can our financial system continue as it does, giving gifts to friends, such as preferred stocks? How can the same institution give corporate advice, act as a broker to the public, and run a hedge fund? They are no longer serving our public and its economy, they are trying to proscribe it, and openly state a large percentage of people in the nation are not wanted.

Our Congress, is thinking our times are prosperous, and people are just jealous of their gains.

Who will see us through these troubled waters and back to our safe haven?

MODERN VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.

CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'

ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, “We shall overcome.” Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.

President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush, President Reagan, Christopher Co lu mbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight.

Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and once peaceful, neighborhood.

The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.

[Marine Globetrotter]

Who was the last student at Harvard to obtain his PhD, by telling it the way he sees it?

And a corollary : What is the sense of being intelligent if you cannot use your own brain? A mynah bird, black with yellow bill, can repeat things it hears endlessly, its only fault is a tendency to stop after awhile because no one any longer listens.

The newer slick cat from Harvard is a political chameleon, he can flit, and float - is expert at telling you what you want to hear, getting his way, and making you feel good whilst he picks your pocket.
If he cannot manipulate you, he tries to outpace you.
It is the triumph of style over substance.

"I've been lowering the price." - M/M

Ah, good luck then. It's been a horrific market. Once people become afraid and believe prices will only go lower, they're not up for buying anything at any price sometimes. Happened in 1932, and it's happening again because some people never learn from past mistakes. Takes decades to climb out.

Repeal of Glass-Steagall created the roaring 20's all over again, with the inevitable aftermath.

[Dgscol]

Harvard's Jeffry Frieden :

Real wages are stagnant or declining, the standard of living is stagnant or declining, you have to increase exports, decrease imports, increase saving, and reduce consumption. That is the macroeconomics of dealing with a ($15bn+) debt crisis.

Job losses tell the story. Unemployment in the country as a whole today is 9.5 percent to 10 percent, but in the bottom 40 percent of the labor force it is 17 percent, while in the top 30 percent it is just 4 percent. “There is a widespread feeling that the borrowing boom of the 2001-2007 period primarily benefited the wealthy,” while the impacts of the crash and austerity measures will affect primarily the lower and middle classes, he says. “This is not an inaccurate perception, and is a formula for a lot of political discontent.”
------
As they anticipate the re-ignition of inflation to reduce debt, they will be watching that political discontent. We sit in an environment of regulatory collapse, with the main positive in exports being to an antagonistic economy in China. There is a general feeling that an organized response from academia would be pointless amid the corruption, therefore it will be the wrath of the jobless and underemployed and their leaders upon which the ignition of real reform depends.

There will be attempts to include this discontent in the body politic, they may not have the patience to play with Washingtonian jesters for a decade.

How long can Arizona wait for the feds to respond to invasion? You are part of the US, to be protected from foreign hegemony. The way it appears today, the feds are going to leave it the way it is.

As for making or breaking China, although one would not want to jinx this, over time the Chinese politburo is able to provide more social support to their populace, and this does little to generate discontent (some coal miners notwithstanding). These people are almost totally dependent on the state.

[Dgscol]

Housing prices will continue to fall and fall, and fall. There is unemployment, and upcoming inflation, and finally the sales of homes by baby boomers. We are currently going through a second wave of mortgage foreclosures.

I am not an expert, but ... if you live in an area with inflated housing prices, you may want to sell ASAP (on coastlines), and rent, which often costs half as much as paying interest on a home you purchase. If you want to move somewhere that housing prices are fairly stable you can purchase at any time.

Markets are regional. Looking around can also save you money, since some people are stuck up - cheating on the market.

People are suggest a small markup (5%) as opposed to (10-20%) for dickering purposes.

Good Luck.

An alternative to inflation to deal with the debt, is to negotiate with one's lenders and make affordable payments. Since the banks created this debt, and pocketed much of it except for the bribes they gave to political families, why don't they pay it back? Why should the general public pay?

[Dgscol]

I'd be happy to pay back my stimulus check, which is all I received. I got no insider deals on housing, or stocks. I got no banker bonus. Please do not make me pay all that interest to essentially pay off what the banks stole.

PS I do not owe 45K. I got only the stimulus check. Honest.

Just one last comment - why should anyone pay a red cent for interest, if the banks are not repaired and not properly regulated? In the meantime they can make their money off of stocks, and machine daytrading.

The banks will never be regulated, nor any other business venture, as long as the GOP remains with enough power to stop all legislation with the filibuster. If they ever again gain a majority, it will be far worse. Yes, Obama also made a deal with the devil Wall Street, and Wall Street will never again be main street or good for main street, because Wall Street is essentially consuming Main Street.

Hillary Clinton did not, and would not make the same mistakes as Bill did in the 90's, and that's why she's not President, because there was a convenient novice Wall Street whore ready to do the deal. However, he's learning fast, the very hard way.

Unless big business is regulated to end all outsourcing, and penalized to make outsourcing far more unprofitable than building and manning factories here in the US, the US is finished and already halfway to third world status.

GOP/Tea Party victory will be the final nail in the coffin of the US.

Hey, X-FILES: A little birdie just told me that Dick Cheney is sitting in a van outside your house with his microwave stroke weapon in hand.

Better tighten up that tinfoil hat.

How to spot the Soros socialists, i.e. these water carriers for Libworld's billionaires and eliteniks:

They spout classic Marx pap for their Bolshie billionaires. "Hey, we against de Capitalists. Oh, yeah! See, de Capitalists and their GOP henchmen is exploiting you poor schmucks. We here to save you dummies!"

While waging their Classless War, moaning about "the capitalists who ran away to China," these creepy-crazies conveniently ignore how the politburo in Washington taxes business out of the country, and buries it in bureaucratic paperwork under nice-sounding "regulation". 'See? We wanna regulate de Capitalists for you donkeys!'

The Soros-inspired socialist toadies also hate to tell us how the Soviet-inspired Unions have strong-armed the "capitalists" AND the people's Government with parasite-deals way above what their clients could get in a free market. This great "service" to the "workers," of course, is all ultimately paid for by the taxpayers who it bankrupts with its parasites.

How clever!

And now States and cities all over the country are going bankrupt with these insanely swinish "benefits" and pension plans they are supposed to pay and which can NEVER be paid, as is now becoming clear even to a mindless socialist toady.

How clever---Libworld and its crypto-Stalinist Classless Warfare, with its phoney Ivy League bandleaders.

As I already stated, they give up when they realize His angels are in their way.

Not tinfoil.

We need a sharp increase in interest rates, to pay off the debt and liquify the banks. What is all the BS talk about a global gold tax instead?

[Dgscol]

The interest rate hike is equivalent to a general consumer tax. Should everyone pay this when the government has not 1) chased the aliens out and patrolled the border 2) has not reinstituted Glass-Steagall and re-toothed the SEC - they should be erring on the side of strict enforcement rather than the opposite and 3) has not acted to fix unemployment?

If we pay this, there is no public stick to make the government act responsibly - except actual batons.

The gold tax spreads the tax over a wider base, but how could they collect? It would require the G20, surely.
