Did Republicans vote against the bailout because of emails and calls from their constituents ?



Or are they holding out for a bill with less regulation and oversight of the “free market”?

Innovator that bested price control system was CRUSHED with GOVERNMENT POWER! Where is that Free Market?



………… that Liberals, Collectivist Socialists claim that causes our problems?

Liberals, Collectivist Socialists etc just do NOT get it! HUGE CORPORATIONS CAN USE GOVERNMENT POWER TO CRUSH COMPETITION. OTHERWISE, FREE MARKET COMPETITION WOULD KEEP PRICES LOW AND QUALITY HIGHER. The following article is the perfect example:

Dairy Industry Crushed Innovator Who Bested Price-Control System

In the summer of 2003, shoppers in Southern California began getting a break on the price of milk.

A maverick dairyman named Hein Hettinga started bottling his own milk and selling it for as much as 20 cents a gallon less than the competition, exercising his right to work outside the rigid system that has controlled U.S. milk production for almost 70 years. Soon the effects were rippling through the state, helping to hold down retail prices at supermarkets and warehouse stores.

That was when a coalition of giant milk companies and dairies, along with their congressional allies, decided to crush Hettinga’s initiative. For three years, the milk lobby spent millions of dollars on lobbying and campaign contributions and made deals with lawmakers, including incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.).

Last March, Congress passed a law reshaping the Western milk market and essentially ending Hettinga’s experiment — all without a single congressional hearing.

“They wanted to make sure there would be no more Heins,” said Mary Keough Ledman, a dairy economist who observed the battle.

Are you aware of all the great advancements that American gave the world?



Bifocals, ocean current mapping, cotton gin, REFRIGERATION, circular saw, dental floss, electric doorbell, morse code, revolver, anesthesia, telegraph, TELEPHONE, potato chip, Toilet paper, repeating rifle, vacuum cleaner, machine gun, motorcycle, tape measure, thermostat, dish washer, escalator, RADIO, tractor, assembly line, hearing aid, AIRPLANE, cable TV, chemotherapy, polio vaccine, CPR, laser, weather satellite, heart transplantation, lung transplantation, the person computer or PC, Email, digital camera, ethernet, voicemail, spaceshuttle, INTERNET, zip files, GPS, DVR, etc,etc,etc

There are actually too many to mention here, this is just a small sample. All of these inventions owe their existence to individuals pursuing self-interest in a capitalist market. None of them, to my knowledge, were invented under orders from a government bureaucrat for the betterment of the ‘common good’.

American liberals and members of American hater nations, do you see now how much you owe to America, to capitalism, and to the free market?

You’re welcome.

Texas is GREAT! OMG Good for u all in Texas!!!!
Amanda : Nobody is questioning what you listed.

What’s in question is everything else that has nothing to do with what you listed. YOU COULD read the TEA Party’s sign as not 1 sign has what you listed on it.

Bail Outs from Both Administrations, the 2009 Stimulis Bill which only had 4 % stimulus. etc….

It’s to bad you didn’t get the meaning of what is going on. You could google Tea Party’s and those who have websites listed why.
Todd T : Well Maybe I should SUE my school.

I made a choice to write it that way. Does that mean I am a Right Wing Extremist !?! LOL

You didn’t answer the ASK question and maybe today’s education didn’t teach to read and respond.

Should we report the 2003 Obama to flag@whitehouse.gov for spreading lies that Obama wants Single-Payer Health?



The 2003 Obama is saying that Obama wants Single-Payer Universal Healthcare.

http://www.breitbart.tv/obama-in-03-id-like-to-see-a-single-payer-health-care-plan/

This flies in the face of the 2009 Obama who is saying that he opposes putting insurance out of business and supports the free market. In fact, he is asking people to report anyone who says otherwise to his office.

“There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.”

Should we report 2003 Obama to the White House for lying to us about who Obama really is?

Does one example of bad data disprove the entire theory of climate change?



I’m having a hard time believing conservatives really accept this. There are numerous inconsistencies in the Bible – will they refute that as well? Republican politicians have been exposed for numerous lies over the years (dems too) – will they reject the GOP? Private companies have been fined and CEOs jailed for their role in business scandals – does that mean the entire free-market system is wrong?

Senator James Inhofe (R)-Oklahoma had the following to say in response to the hacked emails, “We Won. You lost – get a life!”

Really? This type of response only strengthens the stereotype that conservatives are anti-intellectual.
@ Moltar Rocks – You’re a brave person to put down that challenge. How about this trivial inconsistency:

GE 1:11-12, 26-27 Trees were created before man was created.
GE 2:4-9 Man was created before trees were created.
@ Lucky – Your argument has a logical fallacy. You imply that the entire climate change community was conscious of this corrupt data yet choose to remain silent.

The truth is that only a handful of people were involved. And once this data had been subjected to the peer review process it would have been debunked anyway.

Have you reported 2003 Obama to flag@whitehouse.gov yet?



The 2003 Obama is saying that Obama wants Single-Payer Universal Healthcare.

“I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care program. I see no reason why the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, spending 14 percent of its Gross National Product on health care cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody. And that’s what Jim is talking about when he says everybody in, nobody out. A single payer health care plan, a universal health care plan. And that’s what I’d like to see. But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately. Because first we have to take back the White House, we have to take back the Senate, and we have to take back the House.”
–Barack Obama 2003

I think we should report 2003 Obama to flag@whitehouse.gov immediately.

Does H.R.1257 yet prove that communism is comming to AMerica?



H.R.1257 allows the stockholders to approve CEO pay packages, which of course is the job of the Board of Directors.

This is sounding like the Dem congress trying to be Commander in Chief and Secretary of State.

You can’t say certain words anymore, the communists are taking your freedom of speech.

You cannot defend yourself anymore, the communists are coming for your weapons.

You cannot buy a home anymore, the commies don’t want the banks lending you money because you are sub-prime

Now they are going to tell you how much you can earn. This, people, is the epitomy of COMMUNISM

They have to STOP it now.

I emailed the pres, and my members of congress this morning and told them we are not communists and in a free market we do not set compensation for someones efforts, it is not the governments job.
Perplexed, if you thing congress should do this, then you must support term limits, because you are saying that the shareholders who vote for the board each year are not doing their job, as I am saying the voters are doing theirs.
Wolf – in all honesty I think the shareholders should call for a vote on the board and change it that way, after all there are only a dozen or so board members. If I agree with you then you would need to agree that AMericans should be able to vote on WHAT congress is doing, that is what you are saying.
I am a shareholder of many companies, and I object to this. I vote for the board, everytime and in the free market, the majority rules. Those are the laws I support. To support this you must in turn support our ability to vote for every person in COngress, it is no different than this.

Have you heard of Freedom Watch on Fox news, with Judge Nepalitano?



I guess there have been a couple of trial episodes that have aired, where Lew Rockwell, Peter Schiff, and Ron Paul have been interviewed in 60 minute segments.

http://www.nolanchart.com/article6035.html

With the recent hubbub about the Re-elect Obama in 2012 Act – I mean the Great Depression Act of 2009 – it would be a rare find indeed to have a show air where eco-politics and liberty is debated in a serious fashion.

The show will never go live unless there is some support for it, so if you like it please feel free to join the Facebook group “Fans of Fox’s Freedom Watch That Want To See it on the Air” or better yet send a quick email to FOX at yourcomments@foxnews.com

Who knows? Perhaps the rEVOLution can finally hit the mainstream media and Americans can start realizing that there is no easy “bailout” this time around. When Obama’s “100 Days” honeymoon finally ends, it may result in an awakening for a few more converts for liberty, freedom, prosperity, and free markets.

Do you want to email Fox News and show some support for it?

is the next bailout unfair?



Do you think this is fair?

[text below of the email I just sent to my US Senator]

Dear Senator:

It is unfair to bailout the banks that made bad loans unless the country receives compensation similar to the AIG case — 11.35% interest and an 80% voting preferred stock interest in the firm and the right to replace the managers. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Some in Congress may claim that if we bail out the banks, we also have to bailout the borrowers on these bad loans. That would also be unfair.

It would be unfair to everyone who doesn’t have such a loan. This includes every renter in Miami who couldn’t buy a house or wouldn’t lie to do so. It includes every senior citizen who owns her home free and clear. It includes every citizen in places where home prices never got out of hand and so their payments never became excessive. And it includes everyone who already lost that house to foreclosure.

In short, bailing out the home buyers would be unfair to the majority of Americans. Either our taxes or inflation would go up to pay for their mistakes.

And it wouldn’t even fix the housing markets. Housing markets won’t be fixed until prices come down enough that ordinary workers in places like Miami can afford to buy a house. That hasn’t happened yet and if America subsidizes all these over priced houses, it won’t happen for many more years.

Here’s what would be fair if politics says we have to bailout home buyers — every American gets the same treatment once in their lifetime. We cap the amount of the bailout at some figure, say 20% of the price of the house, and then every American gets the same benefit — the government pays 20% of the cost of them buying a house. [It would be like getting a free down payment.]

Somewhat obviously, they’d have to properly qualify for the remaining loan on the house and this would limit the size and cost they could afford. Senior citizens who own their home outright could trade their benefit for either a lifetime benefit paying 20% of their property taxes, insurance, and upkeep, or a cash payment equal to 20% of the tax assessor’s 2007 value on their property.

We need you to fight for fairness in this whole mess because it sure looks like America is about to reward only a select few for taking foolish risks.

thank you for your time today and for representing the interests of the majority of Americans, and Floridians, in this matter.

Best regards,

[MBA/CPA. I began working in banking in 1970 and have seen repeated real estate lending booms and busts. This may be the worst one of a long string of them, although I can't remember the one during the Great Depression.]
