…the more I think this post is correct.
Conservatives must work harder than ever in the months ahead to make sure voters know that they—not the real demon sheep—offer change Americans can believe in.
Make sure you check out the photoshop, the only reason why I didn’t snarf it is to make sure you hit the link.
And the subject of
The big question this morning seems to be about TARP and regulations of the banks.
As you might remember I was not in favor of the bailouts in the first place. The Harvard Professor Elizabeth Warren on is making the case that the banks are #1 making too much profits and #2 only have the strength because of government guarantees.
Is it just me or would banks be closer to their actual value if we allowed nature to take its course and then let the actual market establish values based on, oh I don’t know some strange arbitrary figure like what they are actually worth?
As for profits, maybe I’m missing something but wasn’t the goal of bailing out the banks to keep them solvent? If that is the case isn’t it necessary and desirable for them to make profits? Do we not want people employed? Do we not want depositors to earn dividends and for 401k plans that have money invested in the bank’s stock to go up?
Even funnier is her statement about the new credit card regulation. She argues that we shouldn’t bother to read the new regulations since the companies have already found ways around them, so her solution is …New Regulations!
Presumably these new regulations will be magic so that the credit card companies will not be able to find a way around them.
I think the better suggestion would be to have a simple set of either “credit card holders bill of rights”. Instead of regulations that provide make-work for lawyers make a simple list of rights for card holders and enforce them rigorously.
But hey that’s just me.
…is considered offensive by a local Blogger:
Fitchburg Massachusetts:
The Massachusetts state commission on Indian Affairs is being described as “horrifically offensive” by local blogger DaTechGuy and he suggests that it be changed.
The local Blogger fresh of his visit to CPAC expressed his views after reading this Fox 25 story this morning where the commission decided that the Massachusetts State Seal was “patently offensive” and suggested to replace it.
The Blogger deplored the ignorance of the state commission which seems to be unaware that the seal was first introduced in 1780 by John Hancock long after local Indian wars were over. It also ignores that the sword represents the the motto at the bottom “By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty”.
The Blogger suggests that given the timing of it’s introduction (1775) by the provincial congress it clearly refers to the battle with the English from who we obtained independence and that the general court’s official adoption of the seal in 1885 does not represent any attack or offense on the American Indian.
The blogger deplored the attempt by the commission to find offense where none existed and the attempt to re-write the history of the state for the sake of a politically correct agenda. Said blogger suggests that instead they focus on actual Indian issues concerning land and/or conditions rather than “make work” changes to the sake of their own self worth.

…let the left go on about how freedom is restricted in America, how they were repressed under George W. Bush while in Cuba:
Right now there’s a Cuban Mom in Cuba whom Ive also never met in person but I still consider a Mom who had her son die in one of the regime’s prisons simply because he wanted to be a free man.
Let’s elaborate further:
RTVE reports that there have been at least 25 arrests and/or detentions following the death of Tamayo Zapata for the purpose of preventing their attendance to his funeral.
Let’s be blunt: These people are murderous bastards, the people in congress and Hollywood are supporting them are supporting murderous bastards. The people who are gung ho about closing Gitmo while ready to embrace the actual concentration camp that is the rest of the island are at best ignorant and at worst complicit in the support of murderous bastards.
If you want to know the difference between America and Cuba in real life here it is. If you want to see the difference between a democratic administration and a republican one here it is.
And this little story is enough to make you want to punch the screen.
The elite’s treatment of the Gulag that is Cuba is like watching Kitty Genovese get murdered over and over again.
