BLACK FRIDAY

It WILL be a Black Friday after they see what kind of a spending mood we're in this year.

Watch them try and blame US!

One good thing about Thanksgiving is that turkey is cheaper to cook than crow. (And Congress certainly has done nothing to crow about. )

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING? Forget It!

I'm hanging on to what little money I have.

The Congress has already mortgaged my children's future and part of my grandchildren's. Now, they're bound and determined to drag my great-grandchildren into the debt as well. Congress was the oversight in charge of Bear-Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, CitiBank, Detroit, and the multitude of financial garbage yet to fall out of the truck

The stockmarket plunge has wiped out hundreds of thousands of retirement accounts. No one can sell a house for anywhere near what it is supposedly worth. Unemployment is skyrocketing. The new President is going to allow Bush tax cuts to expire, thereby raising taxes for everyone and making the squeeze even worse. Why they think we're going to spend anything on Thanksgiving and Christmas gifts is beyond me. I have to hang on to what little I have left and pray daily that it won't evaporate like everything else has.

Heck, we might as well print a ton of money like Germany did; we're all going down the tubes, anyway. Yes, we're smack-dab in the middle of an economic disaster area, but I frankly don't care if Macy's, Staples, Mervyns and Starbucks close their doors because of it. As for me, I'm not spending spit on shit.

THE BAILOUT FIASCO: Why You Are To Blame

The Nation went berserk. Congress had just passed the $700 billion bailout package and EVERYONE was ticked off.

On all of my websites, I urged, practically demanded, that the nation vote out every Congressman and Senator up for reelection.

You didn’t. Basically, the only seats that changed hands were those that were being vacated anyway.

Now, Congress is poised to pass another $300 billion to $500 billion. Now, it wants to bailout the auto industry and Treasury wants to change the rules for the first $700 billion, while the money already spent has not done one thing to slow down the plunge of the national economy. Not one.

Once again, the nation is in an uproar.

I don’t want to hear it. I voted against MY Congressman. I upheld MY duties as an American. The rest of the country, obviously, did not.

You are getting what you wanted, what you voted for.

So, just shut up, quit your whining and get busy writing letters to your grandchildren explaining why you allowed their poor financial souls to be mortgaged beyond reason.

HOW TO CIRCUMVENT 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS

There is also a law pending in California that would require anyone who buys or sells more than 50 rounds of ammunition in any one month must have a state license to do so. That law passed the senate by an overwhelming majority. The state assembly, faced with raging anger on the part of gun owners and ammunition shops, decided not to vote on it until After the Presidential election.

Now that Obama, an anti-gun activist, has been elected President, sales of ammunition And guns in California has skyrocketed because everyone wants to get theirs before the California legislature finishes passing the law.

As one state senator says, "We know that the likelihood of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning it is now greatly diminished."

"WE" DID NOT GET OURSELVES INTO "THIS MESS"

Over and over again on November 4th, I heard the pundits and the members of Congress refer to one of the major factors in the election as being the financial debacle of 2008. Further in the vein of thought, the discussion inevitably led to the statement, "We got ourselves into this mess and we will have to dig ourselves out of it."

That is an outright lie. I had nothing to do with it and neither did my friends, neighbors or relatives; but every member of Congress and half of the Administration DID.

The methodology of convincing US to smile as we hoist these burdens onto OUR backs is to switch the blame from THEM to US through the use of the word WE.

Sometimes, I feel as if we truly are a nation of EWES being chased around the corral by a whole bunch of horny old THEMS.

DEWEY WINS!

No, that was a mistake. It should read....

DEWARS WINS!

I'll bet every one is having a toast to the fact that the political bullshit is over with!

DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH GUTS AND PATRIOTISM LEFT IN YOU TO VOTE OUT THE WORST CONGRESS IN AMERICAN HISTORY?

OR ARE YOU A "BORN AGAIN" MASOCHIST WHO WANTS MORE CORRUPTION, INACTION OR BAD ACTION IN YOUR LIFE?

REMEMBER THE BAILOUT. REMEMBER WHO CAUSED IT. REMEMBER THAT MORE IS COMING.

THEN, VOTE, VOTE YOUR HEARTS AND YOUR PATRIOTISM.
