If I was to get back into the limelight of the judicial system....with another charge...they will give me more time, not for the act at the time......but from all of the past transgressions....the current charge is the top of the cake...

ya know.....if a person goes to a church that preaches Satanic ''values''.....it would seem logical that theyre NOT a Christian.....if a man affiliates himself with a gang...chances are hes not the pillar of the community....chances are hes not helping the old lady across the street, hes robbing her.....
If a man goes to a KKK rally, sends out their literature, speaks at the conventions........but isnt a member.........ity doesnt matter.....
he still believes the ideology of the KKK.....

Its about damned time.....
Ive been mad as hell for years..Ive warned people about all of this shit...about the policies of the democratic party.....(secular progressives)...and it seems others are FINALLY letting their tempers show......it seems that theyre finally ''getting it''.....Ive been hollering about all of these programs strictly for certain individuals.(no, groups)....people have called me names and accused me of wearing white hats and burning crosses....on and on and on.......
but....now.........its out.....the truth has made its way through the smoke....
but its a shame that its taken this long......its a shame that its taken the people to lose their money through all of this.....
I DIDNT LOSE ANY MONEY......but the ones that DID lose are my employers.....without them my entrepreneurial (sp?) spirit level declines......its hurt self-employers such as myself..small business owners...VERY small.....
believe me....Im feeling the punch.....

Didnt I tell you people here that it would take these people that supported these policies in the past...to lose their money.....THEN AND ONLY THEN will their eyes open and tempers will flare??......
welcome to reality, my friends......it only gets worse from here.....

Personally.......I feel that it would be the best thing for America to split....republic one side : democracy on the other...
we govern our own ideology...they govern their own.....
THAT WAY...everyones happy...

As I read the comments on this blog, it amazes me how ignorant the so called smart people are. I take my lead from no one, from no campaign. My opinion is based upon my own research and experience in life. I have watched the cultural wars, I have watched as men have been destroyed by blatant lies. I have voted democrat my entire life. This time I will not vote for the democrat nominee for many reason. The biased press has made me realize that this election has been a sham on the American public. The facts cannot be distorted, if one researches and applies life''s experiences with their common sense. My common sense and life experience shows hussein obama to be a closet black power marxist racist fraud. Character and judgment does matter to anyone with a moral compass. The press and the obama campaign can spin obamas socialist, marxist ideology anyway they want. But my bet is that many in Mainstream America will not buy what obama and the press is selling. The man is not qualified to be POTUS. If calling me a racist makes one feel better, then so be it, as it pales in comparison to the millions of great Americans who have given the ultimate sacrifice to keep America free and from the throes of a socialist marxist state. That same type of socialist, marxist ideology that hussein obama has embraced since birth. What the liberal press seems to forget, is that many who feel as I do, have relatives who died to stop the type of ideology that obama embraces. I will wear my tag with honor, as I uncover obama for the black racist, socialist, marxist fraud that he is. A strong and free America is far to important for my children?s future not to do so.

Barack Obama has received more money from Fannie and Freddie than any other senator, with the exception of Senator Dodd, in the last four years. Before entering the senate, Obama filed a class-action lawsuit against Citibank, alleging that the bank was red-lining, or not doing enough lending in certain areas. That lawsuit was eventually settled. Arguably, Barack Obama helped cause the problem he now wants to fix.
The Federal Reserve Board was doing its part by throwing huge piles of cash at would-be home buyers by keeping interest rates too low. With low interest rates speculators began to look at houses as business opportunities, while others began to look at their homes as a giant piggy bank rather than a place where you actually lived and raised a family. Alan Greenspan encouraged this type of behavior and proudly said, "American consumers might benefit if lenders provided greater mortgage product alternatives to the traditional fixed-rate mortgages..." President Bush, responding to September 11th unwisely encouraged us to "go shopping" rather than hunker down financially and contribute to the War on Terror in other ways (can you say home equity loans?).
The SEC also shares in the blame. It failed to do its job (failed to adequately regulate mortgage brokers, the credit rating companies, and naked short-sellers), acted only after the markets froze-up (finally addressed mark-to-market rules) and refused to examine how the credit-default-swap market could grow from $919 billion in 2001 to over $54 trillion by 2008 (which allowed companies to make wild financial bets with the false confidence that ''insurance'' would be there if the deal went south).
So what happened? Home-ownership rates which had been relatively constant for 25 years began a 10 year upward climb beginning in 1995, around the same time that government began its push and pressure for banks to make more subprime loans. The politicians, banks, lenders and Wall Streeters were thrilled because they were all making gobs of money.

Today we are all paying the price for the decisions made long ago. I have spoken to people involved at the highest levels and they now are all saying the same thing, "it is worse than anyone knows" and "worse than I even thought." Political and business leaders who I respect have told me that the economy is on the edge of an abyss.
The bailout is an outrage and is designed only to buy time for the politicians. It will delay the real hard times from hitting until after the November elections. Not one politician has said that this bailout legislation will put us on a better financial footing or that our economic problems will be put behind us. In fact, we''ll be worse off because our politicians, even in this crisis, can''t stop themselves from spending. This bill includes an extension of the rum tax benefits for Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands ($192 million), tax benefits for companies which manufacture wooden arrows for kids ($6 million), car racing tracks ($128 million), a provision which forces insurance companies to treat mental health problems like physical problems ($3.8 billion) and many, many more.
International markets don''t offer any better alternative. Germany, England, the Netherlands, and Russia have all come out with their own government backed bailout plans. There are now calls for more international regulation (presumably led by the United Nations) and China has taken this opportunity to call for "a diversified currency and financial system and fair and just financial order that is not dependent on the United States." Meanwhile, there is increasing international indications that the dollar will lose its place as the reserve currency of the world.
The politicians from both political parties continue to lie to us. They promise us better healthcare and more government programs. The only thing either party will be able to deliver is higher, much higher, taxes as the debt swells and government revenues fall. The same politicians remain silent, while capitalism, which brought us the highest standard of living in the world, is increasingly attacked and discredited by its enemies.
But it''s not capitalism which has been discredited by our current crisis, it''s greed that has been shown to be at the root of our present economic uncertainty, and greed is unfortunately a universal human trait and has demonstrated its reach in socialism, fascism, communism and capitalism. The greed of Wall Street is nothing compared to the greed of our politicians who have continued to expand their power and influence at the expense of their country.
Our children and grandchildren will ultimately pay the price for their failure to act prudently and in the best interest of our country because they will be the ones saddled with mountains of debt and diminished standard of living.
I hope that this summary gives you a better idea of how the people who caused this fire are the same ones who are now telling us that they know best how to put it out and a reason not to believe their current promises.
We have faced tough times before. We fought the Nazis in World War II, defeated communism in the Cold War and Americans fought each other to keep our country together in our own Civil War. These tough times require us to educate ourselves and help others understand what has brought us to this point and the grave consequences of what will happen if we let this continue-that is our fight.

So everyone was a winner. The subprime borrower got the money to buy a house. The banks generated mortgages and made a nice profit and Fannie and Freddie executives made tens-of-millions of dollars in salaries and bonuses by hitting their annual goals.
The problem was that in order to keep all of this going lending standards were continually lowered to help the next level of subprime borrowers qualify for mortgages and no one had an incentive to make sure that the new subprime borrowers would actually be capable of making regular mortgage payments. The banks which extended the loans really didn''t care because they were just going to sell the loan off to Fannie or Freddie. Fannie and Freddie weren''t too concerned because it wasn''t their money-they knew that they were insured by the ''full faith and credit'' of the federal government (that''s government lingo for "you and me").
So when federal regulators began to warn the executives at Fannie and Freddie about the increasing risks of non-payment by subprime borrowers the companies did nothing and when the regulators took their concerns to congress their warnings were met with scorn and contempt. The politicians who received the most political contributions from Fannie and Freddie, by pure coincidence, just happened to be their biggest defenders: Chris Dodd (D-$133,900), John Kerry (D-$111,000) and Barack Obama (D-$105,189).
Representative Barney Frank, who has been a fierce defender of Fannie and Freddie, actually said, while arguing against more regulation, "I want to roll the dice a little bit more in this situation towards subsidized housing.... " It''s nice to know that he doesn''t mind gambling with our money. Senator Chris Dodd, in praising Fannie and Freddie said, "I, just briefly will say, Mr. Chairman, obviously, like most of us here, this is one of the great success stories of all time.
"While Senator Charles Schumer said, "And my worry is that we''re using the recent safety and soundness concerns, particularly with Freddie, and with a poor regulator, as a straw man to curtail Fannie and Freddie''s mission."

Call me crazy but if you need to count child support money that''s intended for your child, or are in such bad economic shape that you''re relying on welfare payments to make ends meet or are unemployed, maybe, just maybe, you shouldn''t be buying a house. Too bad our politicians and the ''best and brightest'' on Wall Street couldn''t figure that out!
Community groups like ACORN, threatened to cry racism if banks didn''t increase their loans to subprime borrowers. Banks typically avoided subprime loans as they carried a greater risk of default, but with law on its side, ACORN and other groups intimidated lending institutions into making such loans.
Banks soon learned, however, that making subprime loans actually could increase their profits without increasing their risk. Once the banks extended a loan to a subprime borrower that loan could then be sold by the bank to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, two government sponsored entities charged with making home ownership affordable to all Americans.
Banks, Wall Street, and mortgage lenders were soon eager to extend mortgages to subprime borrowers because they could make lots of money without carrying any risk. Fannie and Freddie carried all the risk once the original lending agency sold the loan to them. And once Fannie and Freddie bought the loan this freed up the banks to make even more subprime loans.

The study reported that a white applicant was approved for a $3,115,000 loan in order to purchase a home valued at $445,000. It was later demonstrated that the actual loan was approved for $311,500, far less than $3 million reported and more importantly, less than the home''s purchase price. When these and other errors were corrected no evidence of discrimination existed.
But politicians didn''t care. They used this report as the basis to fix a problem which didn''t exist. Leading the charge for change was President Clinton who immediately set-out to rework the Community Reinvestment Act to give federal officials the power to pressure banks to make loans they otherwise considered too risky or uneconomical.
Traditional lending requirements were labeled ''outdated'' and discriminatory. What ''traditional lending requirements'' were viewed as ''outdated'' and ''discriminatory''? (1) banks were told that a "lack of credit history should not be seen as a negative factor" and that "past credit problems"
should be viewed and considered in light of any "extenuating circumstances" so loans could be extended when they otherwise would have been denied; (2) banks were encouraged to let borrowers without enough money for a down-payment make-up any deficiency with "gifts, grants, or loans from relatives, nonprofit organizations, or municipal agencies" even though banks considered this risky as the home buyer would have little or no equity in the house; (3) banks were also instructed that borrowers who received child support, welfare payments or unemployment benefits could count that as ''income'' for borrowing purposes.

Our current economic crisis was caused by politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, who perverted the American Dream by treating home ownership as an undeniable right rather than what it really is, a privilege. President Bush aggressively promoted the benefits of home ownership through various policy positions, including a reckless zero down-payment initiative for some homebuyers and praised Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac even after concerns about their accounting standards began to surface.
Home ownership has always been part of the American Dream. It allows individuals and families to build wealth by having them pay themselves instead of a landlord or rental company and vests people in their communities by grounding them in local schools, stores and government.
The concept that owning a home was a privilege and not a right began to change in 1992 following a flawed Boston Federal Reserve Board study which allegedly found subtle discrimination in loan and mortgage lending by banks and mortgage lenders.
Politicians didn''t care that the study was full of errors. The study found discrimination took place when five minority applicants were rejected for special low-income loans even though the applicants were rejected because they made too much money to qualify for a low-income loan, not because of their race. The report also classified as ''rejected'' the applications of eight minority borrowers even though these borrowers voluntarily withdrew their mortgage applications. The study''s sloppiness also went the other way.
