This is incredible. I mean, seriously, seriously incredible. I don’t recall the last time I came right out and asked for you — my loyal, intelligent, and beautiful readers — to send this information to everyone you know, but this is one of those ra….

There hasnt been a fanny that wasnt eyed by the liberals

and we and our children will all end up paying the bills for this fiasco..

And go where? The United States has been the last stop on the liberty express for a while now. Galt’s Gulch is fiction. You either fight for America, or you submit to a state. There’s nowhere to retreat.

OHHHHHHH Consewvatives weewy mad me angwy!

Please no, I just finished eating.

The bank was probably set up to take advantage of the CRA money in the first place. Now they get another shoveful of dough!

Don’t be too eager for 2012. By that time, our nation will be in a Depression, and all the pigs at the trough will vote in BO again.

Sounds so much like Atlas Shrugged…

Stephen Moore thinks so. I love the article’s ending:

David Kelley, the president of the Atlas Society, which is dedicated to promoting Rand’s ideas, explains that “the older the book gets, the more timely its message.” He tells me that there are plans to make “Atlas Shrugged” into a major motion picture — it is the only classic novel of recent decades that was never made into a movie. “We don’t need to make a movie out of the book,” Mr. Kelley jokes. “We are living it right now.”

A laughed when I read it, but he’s right.

(Did I just say that out loud?)

I’ll take “Smothering Helen Thomas” for $100 Alex.

P.S. The only solution:

Join your local board of education, city council, become a state rep, etc. We must educate our fellow citizens and get involved at every level, and not just during election time, all the time. But will we? No. There are not enough of us, too many of us just want to watch tv at the end of a long, hard day.

no its not …

That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

it’s time to not stand for it period and throw it off …

TARP funds go to the politically connected

Well, there’s a real shocker.

And Geithner’s in like Flynn. Awesome. Can’t wait for him to oversee TARP 2.0 like he did 1.0!

And not for nothing but it seems Sanford’s presidential campaign continues apace:

“It’s totally arbitrary,” says South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford. “If you’ve got the right lobbyist and the right representative connected to Washington or the right ties to Washington, you get the golden tap on the shoulder,” says Gov. Sanford, a Republican.

I was for it too. My thoughts are the same.

Still waiting for any conservative in support of TARP back in October to come forth and admit they were wrong.

I’ll take the bait.

In the initial days of the financial crisis I posted a comment (do I have to look it up?) supporting the idea of the federal government being the ‘market maker of last resort’. Where the feds would buy the apparently worthless paper at some discount from face value of that paper, and attempt, over time, to recover some residual value. A classic bankruptcy work out.

After congress handed a blank check to the Sec. Treasury then it turned into political pay off. Something I also have been warning about since it is the democrat party modus operandi. (Use the power of government to reward your party loyalists, and punish your enemies.

I will not admit to being wrong, however. The Federal Reserve has been the ‘lender of last resort’, allowing banks to present the paper the banks are holding as collateral against which the Fed will loan cash reserves.

Yet it is said that nothing has worked because the banks are not yet loaning money. The claim continues that the ‘credit markets are frozen’. Question: what happens when the bank cuts off your credit cards because you have maxed out your credit? Answer: you get more credit cards, yes?

So [Mr. Mrs. Ms] Lorien I continue to support the original TARP as it was presented. I do not support how it is being implemented. Because what was first suggest, and would probably have worked, has not yet been done, nor has it had enough time to work.

with respect

Who’s watching for abuses? No one. Treasury has so far declined to explain their reasoning on how they spend TARP, and Congress keeps giving them more money anyway. Even regulators don’t know how the system works. Some banks get cash, while others get told to pound sand, even though they have healthier balance sheets than the lucky recipients. The only conclusion anyone can reach is that some states have more political leverage in Washington than others.

AND NOW WE KNOW WHY GEITHNER is NEEDED!!

He knows how to CHEAT and not get caught during the statute of limitations

Finally, a ray of sunshine. Thanks for that.

Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Obama, Brown…its paradise.

BTW, I’m having a sale on pitchforks and torches (burning biodiesel shipped in from MN) in case anyone is in the market…
