A very interesting video on our Nation’s banking system

This video, made by the Ludwig Von Mises Institute, makes the case of why the United States of America should go to a 100% gold standard.

I highly recommend that everyone watch this video.

Also, I recommend everyone go to my bookstore and check out the section on the gold standard.

Now here’s a smart idea….

Now the Democrats are using their brains.

U.S. Democrats seek Wall Street tax in bailout plan (Via Reuters):

Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives are pushing for a new Wall Street tax that would cover the potential costs of a $700 billion bailout being negotiated by Congress and the Bush administration.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, speaking to reporters after a meeting with fellow Democrats, said the fee could be assessed after five years if the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office determined taxpayers had lost money in the bailout.

“If after five years … the CBO decides that the American taxpayer has lost money in this, then there would be a fee on financial institutions,” Pelosi said, adding that she hoped the provision could be part of a final bailout deal.

Pelosi said that the Secretary of the Treasury could determine how to assess the fee.

It is a about damn time the Democrats wised up. This would ensure that the taxpayer, (i.e. you and me) would not get stuck paying the bill on this “bail out”.

I know some traders will scream about this. But, you know what I say? screw ‘em! I say, let the assholes making the big money get the tax, instead of the working class, like me, who do not even play the markets.

I am all for free markets, but I’m also for responsibility. If greed caused all this, let the damn greedy ones pay for it in taxes, instead of the average American, like me!

Snort Worthy Quote of the Day

Via Instapundit.com –

My Thoughts on the 1st Debate

Obama was well prepared. Articulated his points very well. McCain was snobbish and a bit of an asshole.

However, McCain did well as well. There were no gaffes that I really thought were worth mentioning.

Because I am not in the tank for either, I say it was a draw.

I’ve been up past my bedtime and now am going to bed.

More Blogging when I wake up.

Oy: Netroots Smear possibly traced back to Obama?

It seems so…. The guys over at The Jawa Report have been doing some digging, with friends of theirs and the results are startling.

The Points being made are:

  • Evidence suggests that a YouTube video with false claims about
    Palin was uploaded and promoted by members of a professional PR firm.
  • The family that runs the PR firm has extensive ties to the Democratic Party, the netroots, and are staunch Obama supporters.
  • Evidence suggests that the firm engaged in a concerted effort
    to distribute the video in such a way that it would appear to have gone
    viral on its own. Yet this effort took place on company time.
  • Evidence suggests that these distribution efforts included
    actions by at least one employee of the firm who is unconnected with
    the family running the company.
  • The voice-over artist used in this supposedly amateur video is a professional.
  • This same voice-over artist has worked extensively with David
    Axelrod’s firm, which has a history of engaging in phony grassroots
    efforts, otherwise known as “astroturfing.”
  • David Axelrod is Barack Obama’s chief media strategist.
  • The same voice-over artist has worked directly for the Barack Obama campaign.

While some of these points could possibly be argued, if there is any truth to this. Obama might be looking at some serious problems here.

Memeorandum has more reactions.

FBI meets with suspected hacker

Remember the hacker kid that I warned everyone against publishing his picture

Well, it seems the FBI has caught up with him.

The Report via WBIR:

Quote:

The FBI is stepping up its investigation into the possibility that a University of Tennessee student hacked into the personal e-mail of Vice
Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

A person who identified himself as a witness tells 10 News that agents with the FBI served a federal search warrant at the Fort Sanders residence of David Kernell early Sunday morning. Kernell lives in the Commons apartment complex at 1115 Highland Ave.

David Kernell is the son of Mike Kernell, a Democratic state representative from Memphis.

A Department of Justice spokesperson confirmed there has been “investigatory activity” in Knoxville regarding the Palin case, but she said there are no publicly available search warrants, and no charges have been filed.

A separate law enforcement source confirmed to 10 News that a search warrant was served on Kernell’s apartment.

According to the witness, several agents arrived at The Commons of Knoxville around midnight.

They presented their badges upon entering Kernell’s apartment, where several students were having a party, and took down their names.

The witness tells us they asked him and those who did not live in the unit to go outside. He believes the investigators took about 1.5 to 2 hours taking pictures of everything inside the apartment.

He says Kernell’s three roommates were also subpoenaed, and must testify this week (Tuesday) in Chattanooga.

It could mean quite a bit, and at the same time, it would mean nothing. But I would think with subpoenas and all, someone is in some serious trouble.

I’m still not publishing his picture. 😀

Oy! – Communist Liberal New York Times Asks: “What Should Be Done with the 9/11 Hijackers' Remains?”

You are not going to believe this one. I even cannot believe it.

It is stories like this right here, that convince me, that the New York Times is nothing more than a front for the Communist Party of the United States.

It seems that we have the remains of 13 of the 19 men, who slammed the planes in to the World Trade Center Towers, the Pentagon and into that field in Pennsylvania. Now, it seems, that the New York Times is fretting about what should become of the remains of these monsters who carried out the attacks, of September 11, 2001.  The attacks that killed 2,999 and injured 6,291 or more.

Quoting the Communists:

Seven years after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, the remains of 13 of the 19 men responsible have been identified and are in the custody of the F.B.I. and the New York City medical examiner’s office.

But no one has formally requested the remains in order to bury them.

"Politically, one can understand that this is a hot potato," said Muneer Fareed, secretary general of the Islamic Society of North America and a former professor of Islamic studies. "People don’t want to identify with the political equivalent of Jeffrey Dahmer."

What would happen if someone asked for the hijackers’ remains is not clear.

Neither the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which holds the remains of the nine hijackers whose planes hit the Pentagon and crashed in a field in Somerset County, Pa., nor the New York City medical examiner’s office, which holds the remains of 4 of the 10 hijackers who flew planes into the World Trade Center buildings, has policies to deal with such a request.

"If and when it comes up, we’ll address it then," an F.B.I. spokesman, Richard Kolko, said.

The bureau could turn down such requests, Mr. Kolko said, because the Sept. 11 investigation is an open case.

The medical examiner’s office, which, like the F.B.I., refuses to say where exactly the remains are being kept, will eventually put together a committee to come up with a policy, said Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the office.

Groups representing the victims of Sept. 11 are not sure what should be done with the remains.

"It would be sadly ironic if they ended up being properly buried or sent to a Muslim country when many of the remains of the victims remain buried in a garbage dump," said Kurt Horning, a founder with his wife, Diane, of the group WTC Families for Proper Burial. "I know we’d feel very distressed."

The Hornings’ son, Matthew, 26, was working at the World Trade Center and died there on Sept. 11. Their group has been advocating for excavation of the Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island where ash and other debris from the World Trade Center site was buried. The group believes the debris may contain identifiable remains.

The identified remains of the victims of Sept. 11 are regularly returned to their families upon request, after officials have made positive identifications.

Some of the users at Right Wing News have some ideas.

What really tweaks me off about this is, why in the hell would a major newspaper such as the New York Times, even have the audacity to even ask a question like this in public newspaper?

I mean, has The New York Times utterly forgotten the horror and shock felt on the morning that the terrorist attacks were carried out in this country? You know, I have accused the far left of being nothing more than terrorist sympathizers, but this just proves it more than I could ever imagine.

As I have said on this Blog many times before, almost to the point where it has become somewhat of a talking point. Do you now see why I left that side of the damned political isle?

I am sorry, but any damned political party that believes, that terrorists have the same standing in the World, as the rest of law abiding Americans, is, as far as I am concerned nothing more than pure Anti-American. The people that carried out the September 11 attacks on this country were not humans, they were utter animals, possessed by a satanic religion that teaches that it is, if I can dare to be so blunt to even use the word; godly to kill people to further a mindless purpose in a religion. 

There is a ton more I could write about this, as to my feelings about Islam. But for one, I do not what to be pegged as a hatemonger and two, this entry would be like 4 pages long. Instead, I’ll just refer you to my bookstore, where I have a section to Islam and the hatred behind it. Click here to go check it out. I am also thinking of adding a section about 9/11, It will be added in the near future.

The Reality sets in….

This is interesting….

It was a room full of people who rarely hold their tongues. But as the Fed chairman, Ben S. Bernanke, laid out the potentially devastating ramifications of the financial crisis before congressional leaders on Thursday night, there was a stunned silence at first.

Mr. Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. had made an urgent and unusual evening visit to Capitol Hill, and they were gathered around a conference table in the offices of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“When you listened to him describe it you gulped,” said Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York.

As Senator Christopher J. Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut and chairman of the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, put it Friday morning on the ABC program “Good Morning America,” the congressional leaders were told “that we’re literally maybe days away from a complete meltdown of our financial system, with all the implications here at home and globally.”

Mr. Schumer added, “History was sort of hanging over it, like this was a moment.”

When Mr. Schumer described the meeting as “somber,” Mr. Dodd cut in. “Somber doesn’t begin to justify the words,” he said. “We have never heard language like this.”

“What you heard last evening,” he added, “is one of those rare moments, certainly rare in my experience here, is Democrats and Republicans deciding we need to work together quickly.” – Read the Rest at the New York Times

It’s at times like this, you wonder what Ron Paul would say. But seems the best he can do is babble on like some demented old goat. It’s no wonder that the rest of sane society, that does not ascribe to the drivel that comes out of Alex Jones’s Website(s), tended dismiss Ron Paul as some sort of an lamppost scratching mental patient.

Anyhow, I’m sure you are thinking that I’m totally against this. In a way, the whole idea of our financial system being nationalized, does not exactly make me want to break open a bottle of champagne and celebrate. Because I do believe in a free market system. However, at the same time, I do not wish to see the economy totally collapse either.

On the other hand, I am a bit encouraged to see that the leaders on capital hill have decided to put partisan politics aside and get to the problem and attempt to fix it. Hopefully they can hash out some sort of a plan.
