I wonder how long it will stay up after my rants about it?

Tea party tango
I was at the Knoxville Tea Party today on the old Worlds Fair site. It was much better than I expected in turnout. They couldn't get everyone into the ampitheater. I would personally estimate the local crowd to have been in excess of four thousand. I was profoundly happy about that. People ARE getting tired of this crap.
And I was beginning to think I was shouting into the wind.
Not anymore.
The enthusiasm and vigor of the crowd was impressive by any standard.
People of all ages were there. I think that was the most encouraging aspect of it all. The number of college age people there easily equalled the ones my own age. We are off to the races on this one.
The MSM may try to ignore this but the politicians certainly cannot.
It reminds me of the H. Ross Perot effect on the budget during the Clinton years.
They were scared of losing power to a viable third party. That's what actually got that budget under control back then, and it's what will do it today.
The Republicans have been too much like Democrat lite, and the Democrats are just what we knew they would be.
I have to wonder what the headlines on tomorrows papers will be. Did they get it? Do they care?

The Cure
They say that social security is the third rail of politics.
What if we eliminate that rail? What if we print enough money to send all the people that paid into the system, to send their money back with 10% interest for all those years?
We can keep the disability protion of Social Security without an extra tax.
Can you imagine what the senior citizens will be able to do with that money?
Can you imagine what the average family will be able to do with that money?
This is a part of the problem we are experiencing right now. They have been acting as vampires on our economy in Washington for decades with this drain of our savings potential. If you return the savings that Washington has robbed from the American people we will not need a stimulus at all.
They have been using the money they have taken from us and spent it on the budget. All that's left are a bunch of IOU's in a drawer in Virginia.
Stop stealing from us. Stop taking our futures from us. Stop violating our rights and the Constitution. End the income tax and pass The Fair Tax. If you do this there will be a resurgence in America. We won't need any housing subsidies. We won't need the HUD or FHA or the VA loan program or the Community Reinvestment Act. We won't need the housing assistance programs for the poor because they won't be poor anymore. We won't need Mortgage Interest Deductions from an income tax that ceases to exist.
More about this later.

Legalize it!
I know this stand will shock some of the people that read my blog.
Just read it thouroughly before getting worked up.
The people that want drugs kept illegal all benefit from it in some way.
The Mafia turns a profit
The Politician gets an issue to demogogue
The Priest/Rabbi/Pastor/Mullah gets to rail against the evils of drug use.
The terrorist gets a source of funding.
All that goes away if you legalize them and you can grow marijuana and coca in your back yard.
The crime stops because nobody has to steal to get a buzz.
Law enforcement gets a break to fight real crime.
Prisons suddenly don't have to let out the hard criminals to house druggies.
You get to tax what is sold to fund treatment programs.
You get to pay less tax on prison space from overcrowded prisons with revolving doors.
People get jobs selling legal drugs.
Since it costs less to get high you have fewer people on social services.
A bag of weed that goes for $100.00 now will sell for about $5.00.
The funding for terrorists goes away.
Border traffic gets less dangerous for our border patrol because there would be no reason to import what you can grow. And it would be legal anyway.
The underground balance of trade would stop hemmoraghing our nations cash.
Fewer cops get killed trying to stop crazed drug trafficers.
Gang activity would almost cease.
Our neighborhoods would be safer.
The whole thing makes money available to bribe politicians with. It makes it possible to intimidate people to keep them from talking. It makes prostitution necessary for many women hooked on drugs by pimps that use them for a source of income.
This is why we should also legalize prostitution. Eliminate the pimp and the prostitute may get help. She will certainly be able to keep her money and get treated for diseases. The dirty politician won't be able to intimidate the prostitute into silence. Neither could the dirty priest/pastor/rabbi. They would have no hold over the prostitute.
I could go on and on.
But will the dogmatists listen?
Why would a God fearing American help drug dealers make money off of your kids?
Why would they let the pimps be able to bribe politicians into turning your daughter into a hooker?
Legalize it and control it and tax it and that will stop.
Punish the acts of the individual. Not society as a whole.
Punish the drunk driver but keep alcohol legal.
Punish the drugged driver but make drugs legal.
Only a dealer would be against legalization.
Or maybe a terrorist. Or a politician trying to hide something.
Or a priest/rabbi/pastor/imam trying to hide something.
Or a brainwashed true believer.

An object study of Biasing a study
I found this study that loudly proclaims that 1/3 of american football players had sexual relations with other men.
It isn't until you get to the third paragraph that they tell you that the study group of these men didn't make it from the high school ranks into college football and became CHEERLEADERS instead. Do you think that MIGHT bias their study just a tad wee bit?
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/10/071029100619.htm
This is what they want to teach your children. Stop them

Perfect Storm of Government Interference
It seems like it should be really apparent, to me. But, maybe, to other people it's not so easy. Let me explain....
The subsidies of housing by the FHA,HUD and VA along with the Community Reinvestment Act have conspired to raise housing prices artificially for decades. Add to this, rent subsidies to many, through programs that give a guaranteed check to landlords. This keeps existing housing off the market and in the hands of fewer and fewer landlords while artificially inflating the housing market.
Then you get the bubble.
POP!
This killed the dream of home ownership for many americans that can't afford payments on housing priced that high.
Now they are proposing more subsidies as the cure for the ones they have already enacted.
This will reinflate the market again in an era of bank instability where few will be able to afford the payments yet again. Then they will propose another subsidy.
Layer after layer of government trying to cure itself.
It's like a child picking at a scab.
Everybody is screaming "YOU"VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING!"
Here's the real cure:
Repeal ALL of the subsidies NOW!
Quit picking at the scabs and let them heal.
......
added to 2/16/2009, the following:
A fellow debater on Political Forum (Martel) pointed out that ARM's were also responsible for this bubble.
Taking an ARM is not a good sound financial move in the first place.
No con artist can succeed trying to scam an honest man. If those people hadn't lied about their ability to pay, they wouldn't be in this fix. You can stop trying to place all the blame on the Big Bad Banks. I think this is a result of everyone in this country having "eyes too big for their stomachs", as we say down here in Tennessee. Times were good and nobody was looking to the future. I do however agree that ARM's had a lot to do with it.
On top of the ARM's we have deductible interest for home loans that inflated the price of homes too. This is a Kenesian move by the banking industry and socialists (of all stripes) enacted to insure that the "pure poor" can afford a home. It amounts to the rape of the federal treasury by the banking and home construction industries.
We need to eliminate these and all other deductions and drop the regressive practice of the Income Tax in favor of the Fair Tax.

Tarnishing a Halo
Barak Obama has made his first weeks in office a shambles. He campaigned on Hope and Change. Change was the most touted of the two. He vowed no more lobbyists and a clean administration. He has appointed two Lobbyists and two tax cheats and a few people that stepped aside for "personal reasons".
From Bill Richardson's botched appointment to the new appointment of Tom Daschle it's just a mess.
Richardson ducked out rather than be investigated.
http://hotair.com/archives/2009/01/04/team-obama-richardson-misled-us/
Tim Geithner is a tax cheat,
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123258571706004547.html
and his new chief of staff at treasury is a registered lobbyist from Goldman Sachs.
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=6735898&page=1
Now Tom Daschle has admitted to being a tax cheat:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090202/...5JWtDr.igD5gcF
Previously Obama appointed another lobbyist, William Lynn:
http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread430249/pg1
Not to mention the head of his FCC transition team, Henry Rivera:
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13739_3-10084046-46.html
This is not to even get into Hillary Clinton's questionable past with the Rose law firm and her sudden wealth from cattle futures. And then there's Whitewater.
When are these people backing The Annoited One going to start asking for his scalp?
Probably not soon. Even the people in Guyana drank the Kool-Aid after they saw others dropping like flies.
