Sub-Prime Mortgages Fail, Oil Continues Upward Climb. When Will They Admit It?

July 14, 2008

When will our Representatives admit the current INFLATIONARY CRISIS is upon us?  The banks do not need to be rewarded for making bad loans, they should be rewarded for good business practices.

I believe it to be a mistake to bailout the S&Ls again because of Sub-Prime Mortgages.  These products were established for people who have poor credit records, not deadbeats who do not want to pay.  While I sympathize with those good people who have truly been hurt by the downturn of the Economy, the Bankers should not be the ones rewarded.

Also, the Speculators continue their bull market...

Mitch McConnell Scheme for Record Distortion

March 19, 2008

 

I have had it!  Here it is, Mitch McConnell DOES NOT CARE ABOUT KENTUCKY!!!  He ONLY CARES ABOUT HIS SPECIAL INTERESTS.  When our backs are turned, he caters to those special interests.  And, we don't even know it.  Even if we are doing the research, we would not know it by the record.

 MITCH MCCONNELL WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR THE EARMARK MORATORIAM IF HE WERE NOT RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION!

 Here is how the scheme works:

McConnell currently serves as a senior member of the Appropriations, Agriculture and Rules Committees.

He is the direct contact for many Special Interest Groups which...

The People of the Commonwealth of Kentucky Have Spoken at the County Mass Conventions

The County Mass Conventions were held on March 15, 2008. This is the culmination of the Precinct Conventions previously held where delegates of the County Mass were elected.

Who Wants Toll Roads?

January 26, 2008

The Kentucky Senate is considering a plan which might put Toll Roads back on our roads. 

According to the Owner Operator Independant Drivers' Association, and LandLine Magizine, Senate President David Williams, R-Burkesville, has offered legislation that would authorize the creation of local public infrastructure authorities. Such entities would be able to issue bonds, create tolls for roads and bridges, buy property and enter into contracts with the federal government.

 While I am in support of better roads, and of increasing funding for maintenance of the infrastructure, the idea of a toll road which might be sold to a foreign government...

With the exit of Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter may as well be, Ron Paul is about the only Presidential Candidate I can endorse.  I cannot in good conscience vote for Rudy Guliani, Mitt Romney, and please don't bring up John McCain.  If he gets the nod, there will be NO CHOICE.


Dr. Ron Paul has shown he is no politician, he is a Statesman.  He is loyal to the Union and holds high standards for himself and others.  He knows how to exhort others to Greatness.  His views on Immigration, National Debt, Illegal Immigration, and Diversion of Road Funds...

Europe Experiences Black Monday, US Celebrates King

January 24, 2008

While us, the American Citizens, and Kentucky Residents, celebrate the Day of Rememberance of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Europeans and the rest of the World experiences a serious downturn in the stock markets.  Although this downturn has been likened to Black Monday on October 28, 1929, when the stock market took a dive, it did not affect the US Markets.

 On Tuesday, when the Market resumed the trading, there was a severe downturn in the Dow Jones.  The Federal Reserve cut their interest rates and then that calmed the investors, and the market regained many of the...

In Fear, Mitch McConnell Flees From Child

January 20, 2008

The following e-mail is edited from several e-mails which I have cross posted from the Ditch Mitch Blog.  I support Heather and her family and I wish them good fortune wherever they go.  Mitch McConnell did not handle this situation in a way commensorate with his office.  This type of abuse should not be tolerated.  I have posted this here to show what is in store for all of us.  Enslavement.

Old News Sheds Light on New Problems

January 20, 2008

Last year Mr. Colderon, President of Mexico, proclaimed:  "Where Mexicans are, There is Mexico!"  I was highly offended and wondered why he would make such a statement to clearly inflame the American People, and demand more benefits and immunities for Mexican Nationals.

I just found this article, dated August 16, 2004, which sheds some light upon the issue.  I have reprinted it here for your convienance.  Now I understand their position.  I believe Mexico now to be a greater threat to the Union that what was previously believed:

Mitch McConnell to Invade and Read Our E-mails Kentucky

Only problem is, this law will not be targeting terrorists.  This bill will allow the US Government to moniter all Internet Traffic from the time it enters the US and throughout.  This means the Government shall be reading YOUR EMAIL, and MONITERING YOUR TRAFFIC.

The Government shall be so busy monitering American Citizens that they cannot possibly find the Terrorists before they strike.  Oh, I forgot, we cannot profile terrorists.  It seems to be Mr. McConnell considers Americans to be the Real Terrorists.

Global Warming is a Farce

January 14, 2008

In the days of International Terrorism, Border Invasion, and Foreign Nationalism, Global Warming or Climate Change should  be a minor issue.  But it isn't.  The Powers that Be have decided to shove this lie down our throats, whether we like it or not.

The United Nations, in what I believe to be a power grab, is considering the levy of a Carbon Tax.  If enacted, it would propel the UN into Government Status.  Once it is enacted, it would be, literally, a tax on the air we breathe.

We all know how much Governments love taxes.  We also know how...

Truckin' Bozo Discusses Freight Rate Cuts with Listener Owner Operator Trucker

January 14, 2008

Today, on the Truckin' Bozo Radio Show, hosted by Dale Sommers, a listener called in to complain about the industry and the freight rate cuts which have taken place since 1979.  The concensus?  Truckers are forced to haul for less and pay more to haul the freight.

 Mr. Sommers made the following suggestion.  Seeing as all the companies who use Owner Operators are cutting the rates to where it is unprofitable to run, they should quit hauling for that company.  In Mr. Sommers' words, "If a company has 300 drivers quit, all on the same day, the Company would be...

Sean Hannity has been Spending Too Much Time with Liberals

January 14, 2008

Sean Hannity, syndicated talk show host, and political commentator, has recently complained about the support he has been getting from the Liberals in his audience.  Equipped with his Hate Hannity Hotline, the Liberals have a venue in which to tell Sean how much they hate him, and themselves.

 Perhaps a blog from one of his fans may make him feel better. 

I have been listening to Sean for many years, I dare say since he started his program.  I do not call in often, but I have made my voice heard on his program.  Mr. Hannity is sincere, and courteous. ...
