Are we are teetering on the edge of a depression? It doesn't look good to me right now.
And, how many people have a clue as to what is going on?
On the morning of Sept. 15th, I was watching the news, and I saw that Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers had gone belly up. And, AIG is close to it. Merrill Lynch was bought by the credit card bank giant, Bank of America, for 6% of it's former stock value.
How would you like your stock to drop 94%--if you have any. Not too good an investment.
All during the day, after hearing this shocking announcement, I asked everyone I ran into, if they had heard the news. Only one person knew what I was talking about. The rest basically said "Huh". I am amazed at how many people purposely keep themselves ignorant. In fact, some seem to take pride in doing that.
When they go to their bank, and the door is locked, they will learn. I don't know if, or when, that will happen, but I am worried about it.
My father lost all his money when a bank closed it's doors. So did my grandfather, during the depression of the 30's. My grandfather always said: "don't keep your savings in the same bank you owe money too". Wise advice!
If you feel save with the FDIC taking care of your money, you haven't had the same experience I have. Just try to talk to them sometime, and see how far you get. You will not get past their answering machines. If you do, you will not get past their secretary for sure. As with most government officials, they just pass the buck, and collect their huge paycheck.
I know alot of people just rent movies everynight, and couldn't care less about the world around them. They are the ones who may someday not have any money or food, and will say "what happened, my tv shut off".

Vice-president Sara Palin
I watched part of the Democrat convention. I listened to Barack Hussein Obama's wife try to convince everyone she was lying, when she said she has "never been proud of my country..." Not many people try to convince everyone they are, or were, a liar. But, that's politics. Anything to win.
She gushed about how she met her husband, and how great he is. I would expect nothing else from a good wife. Supposedly, he is not a skirt-chasing hound like ol' "Slick Willie" Clinton is. If true, I give him credit for that.
But, the sugar coated Bull just got a little too deep. I would rather hear more about Obamas' promises to raise taxes, and his record of voting for anti-gun rights laws. And, his promises to just talk when there is a threat to our country.
I caught part of Mrs. Clinton's spiel. I give her credit for being able to read a pretty good speech off her teleprompters. Her Democrat speech writers are getting better. It is too bad she doesn't mean half of what she says. Especially when she says she supporrts Obama. That Bull gets a little too deep too.
We decided we would rather go fishing, for our stomachs sake. So we went way back in the mountains where there are no TVs. Listening to the quiet for 3 days was pretty nice.
When we came back to town, a friend told me about McCain's running mate, and how they stole the Democrats thunder. I was as shocked as anyone.
Brilliant! We conservatives have someone to get excited about, and women can vote for a good decent woman. One who really will help change Washington- for the better.

What Did Obama's celebrity World Tour Cost The Taxpayers?
I have listened to the big shots in the leftist/liberal news media pant and sing their praises for the liberal Democrats' messiah, B. Hussein Obama. Especially for going on his Celebrity World Tour, of which they participated in.
We have heard about how "200 thousand Germans came to hear Obama's speech in Berlin". This is the country that brought us WWII, and wouldn't support us in the Iraq War-which about 75% of Americans wanted and nearly every single Democrat in Congress voted for.
I would like to know if it is true, as reported, that they were promised free beer for attending. Germans love beer.
We were deluged with praise for Obama from Charley Gibson, and the other news media celebrities in NBC, CBS, ABC, etc. What news reporting did McCain get? He was mentioned, for going to a senior citizens center of some kind. In other words, it was insinuated that he just appeals to old people.
Talk about discrimination. I thought the leftists in this country were against discrimination.
Why doesn't McCain get as much airtime as Obama? We all know why... he is not a Democrat.
Why didn't Obama go to Iraq for 925 days, since the one time he was there a few years before? Maybe he was too ashamed to face our troops. He voted in Congress to cut off their funding, and tried to stop the troop surge the Republicans wanted (which worked). And, he promises for force our soldiers to "cut and run" if he is elected. In fact, the Democrats, who vote to go to war, are the "Cut and Run Party".
I would like to know what this world tour cost the taxpayers. We may never know. I estimate it is in the millions. Our cost of his secret service security is $35,000 a day. But, no-one seems to care.
One thing you can trust B. Hussein Obama on is: he promises to increase taxes. That is what Democrats do anyway, he is not the first one. At least he doesn't lie about it, like ol' "Slick Willie" Clinton did.
One thing about it, these candidates bring out the true colors of the Democrat party. That is the only good thing Clinton did, and now the Democrats' messiah too. If people are smart enough to see it.

Obama to Iraq-Finally
Well, after 925 days, yes, 925 days, Hussein Obama finally went to Iraq!
And, he is the Liberal Democrats' hero for it. It's like no politician has
ever gone there before him. He was only there once before (McCain has been
there many times).
Of course, this "Messiah of the Democrats" has some of his love-sick
disciples, in the leftist/liberal media, with him to give him free promotion in their news shows.
I have never seen anything like it before. There is no unbiased reporting in the news anymore. It is all leftist and pro-Democrat. If McCain is able to prevail in this election, it will be because there are some voters left who can still think for themself. I am not so sure there are though.
The only reason Hussein Obama went to Iraq, for one day, is because of all the bad publicity he has been getting in Conservative circles. And, because the Democrats saw how stupid he looks, when he says he knows what is best for Iraq, and he has only been there once-a few years ago.
Of course it was safe for him to go there now, as the troop surge he fought against has worked (McCain was for it). Now, he wants to send more troops to Afghanistan. What is with that? I thought he was against troop surges.
And, don't forget he wants to bomb Pakistan. this guy is all over the place. With all his flip-flopping, and stuttering (when he doesn't have his teleprompters from his fancy speech writers in front of him), no-one knows what he will be for and against tomorrow.
It reminds me of when Ol' Slick Willie read the polls, and then said he
was for whatever was most popular at the time.
I can't believe anyone with any brains at all would ever consider a candidate that was born and raised a Muslim, and then who baptized his family into a racist/hate church 20 years ago. Anyone remember when the leftist/liberal media drilled into everyone's head that we couldn't have Mitt Romney for president because he is a Mormon? A church that does a lot of good for people of all colors, and Does Not Preach Hate.
Our country is teetering on the edge of a recession right now, and the Democrats want us to vote for a man who has promised to raise our taxes (about 4 times what they are now). You think gasoline is high now, just wait til he gets elected.
I have heard talk about the "dumbing down of America", but it is pure stupidity to want a president who won't even salute the flag, or put his hand on his heart for the National Anthem, and refuses to wear an American flag
pin-even the one given to him by a veteran.
If he gets elected, I wonder how that will be blamed on Bush.

Global Warming by Al Gore
I got a kick out of the news article in the Sheridan Press (Wyoming) about how there hasn't been any camping activities in the mountains, because of too much SNOW.
What happened to all the "Global Warming" that the hero of the Democrats, Al Gore, has been preaching? I thought we were all supposed to burn up because cows belch and power plants smoke. Hmmmm
Is there something fishy going on? Maybe the Republicans have gotten Mother Nature to turn down the thermostat so they can show how foolish people are for believing this Bull.
This environmentalist wacho movement has become a kind of religion, with Al Gore as their Pope. They are using their religion to prevent new power plants, oil refinery's, oil drilling, and tread on property rights.
By the way, where was Ol' Al when we had the coldest winter, and the coldest wettest spring, in decades? Farmers couldn't even plant their crops because of the cold wet weather.
After a year ago, when Gore couldn't preach at a show in New York City because it was canceled due to blizzards, he has been doing his snake oil show below the equator where the seasons are the opposite, and it is hot during our winter here.
And by the way, he and his leftist friends have a new story now. Tired of people laughing at his "Global Warming' story, they now call it "Climate Change". And they say it is colder now because the oceans currents have changed. They always have a way out.
But, aren't the oceans part of the globe? Can't they get warm too? Not in Ol' Al's religion, I guess.
The sad part of all this, is that parents have let the government schools brainwash their kids into believing all this baloney. And, the kids are adamant about it too. Or, was.
But, in the meantime Al Gore gets paid $125,000 dollars a show. Paid for by schools and other taxpayer funded organizations.
I believe this will be known to historians as the Global Warming Hoax, when actually it was a 9 year drought almost as bad as the dust bowl days of the 1930's.
In the meantime Al Gore rakes in the money. As PT Barnum, the circus owner, said "A fool is born every minute
So, who is the fool?

Are Iraq War Veterans supported by Peacemakers?
I read a front page article about an Iraq war veteran, and then the badmouthing of him and our country by a leftist in Kansas City. Of course she speaks for the Tuesday Night Cut-n-Runners (the so-called Peacemakers) we hear from so much here in Sheridan, Wy.
A veteran told me that the thing that bothered him the most was coming back from the war and seeing the demonstrators on main street.
These people, most of whom are old hippies who fried their brains long ago with drugs, have always hated the military. Look at the Clintons. Ol' Slick Willie, and his Democrat Congress, they cut way back on funding and other things our troops need. After we were attacked on 9/11, G.W. Bush had a real job on his hands getting our war machine back on it's feet.
I tried to find a way to join our troops in Afghanistan, and help establish justice on the people who attacked us. It wasn't possible, but I have been very supportive of the ones who risk their lives for our way of life. And, that goes for all veterans.
They give their all, so we can have freedom, and the so-called "Peacemakers" take advantage of that freedom to make fools of themselves. These are the kind of people who will vote for either Billery or B. Hussein Obama, because they promise more handouts for loafers, and want to force our soldiers to cut and run. Just like what happened to our brave soldiers in Viet Nam.
Look what happened there: Viet Nam is now Communist, and that is what we were trying to prevent. The leftists in this country are happy with that though.
This Jennifer Knight, who doesn't even live in Sheridan, says: "we are in Iraq for one brutal reason--cheap oil". I have heard that asinine comment before. I want to know where this "cheap oil" is. Is 120 dollar a barrel oil cheap? The president must be hiding the "cheap oil" in the basement of the White House. And Bigfoot is guarding it.
I have talked to all the Iraq War soldiers I could. They have all told me that the people of Iraq appreciate us liberating them from a tyrant. I talked to an Iraqi man in Bangkok a couple years ago who told me the exact same thing. Freedom is a new experience for them, and they like it.
They were very proud of being able to vote. Most Americans don't even bother to get off the couch to do that. Our freedom is taken for granted, and we may lose it someday for that.
I wish more was done for the troops who fight for our country. I want them to know that there are many who may not say so publicly, but we really appreciate what they do for us.

Does Bank of America donate money to anti-gun organizations?
Not long ago I read an editorial that someone wrote, saying that when using a Bank Of America credit card, a portion of the money is donated to leftist anti-gun rights organizations. I have been trying to verify that, and can find nothing of the sort.
I am a member of the NRA-of course, and a member of the Second Amendment Foundation. I got a credit card through the latter. Every time I use it, a portion of the money goes to the Second Amendment Foundation. They fight for our constitutional gun rights.
If not for these pro-gun rights organizations, the liberal Democrats would have taken away our gun rights long ago (while the Republicans let it happen). And, of course, that would help the criminals commit more crimes, which means more laws against our freedom. It never ends.
In any state where the gun control laws are relaxed, and people can get right to carry permits, the crime is decreased. That is a known fact, which is not reported by the liberal media. That wouldn't fit their agenda.
What is a shame, is that so many gun owners don't bother to join an organization like the National Rifle Association. They leave the burden on backs of a few. It is easy to find the NRA, and others, on the internet.
So, someone can try to prove me wrong on this, but in the meantime I will continue to use my Bank of America credit card. Only verifiable facts can change my mind.

ABC News Clinton/Obama Debate
I hear that the Liberal Democrats have been screaming and gnashing their teeth about the Clinton/Obama debate. They think moderators: Charley Gibson and George Stephenapoulus asked too hard questions of the candidates.
Clinton was asked about her lies about ducking sniper fire, and Obama was asked about his refusal to wear even the flag lapel pin given to him by a veteran. The poor babies had to stammer and try to change the subject.
I have a little higher opinion of ABC now. They are still a liberal media, but at least maybe they are a little less liberal/leftist than the rest.
I can't imagine why anyone would want to vote for either Billery, or B. Hussein Obama. It would either be their infatuation with a black president and a woman president, or it must be self-induced ignorance.
Maybe ABC helped stop some of that ignorance.
