You have to love that title I got from the Drudge Report. "Best Six Month Rally For Stocks Since 1933." Now I am no depression era historian like current head of the Fed Ben Bernanke (That is sarcasm at its finest right there folks) but wasn't 1933 a year that the Great Depression was still going on? And didn't it last up into the 1940's? Please post a comment and let me know if I am wrong here but I am pretty sure I am right (Once again that is sarcasm). I KNOW I AM RIGHT. I think we have a long way to go in this down slump.

Bill Would Give President Emergency Control of Internet
Well the just keep chipping away and we keep letting it happen. Here is an article from CNET by by Declan McCullagh
Internet companies and civil liberties groups were alarmed this spring when a U.S. Senate bill proposed handing the White House the power to disconnect private-sector computers from the Internet.
They're not much happier about a revised version that aides to Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, have spent months drafting behind closed doors. CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft (excerpt), which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency.
The new version would allow the president to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "non-governmental" computer networks and do what's necessary to respond to the threat. Other sections of the proposal include a federal certification program for "cybersecurity professionals," and a requirement that certain computer systems and networks in the private sector be managed by people who have been awarded that license.
Probably the most controversial language begins in Section 201, which permits the president to "direct the national response to the cyber threat" if necessary for "the national defense and security." The White House is supposed to engage in "periodic mapping" of private networks deemed to be critical, and those companies "shall share" requested information with the federal government. ("Cyber" is defined as anything having to do with the Internet, telecommunications, computers, or computer networks.)

Exposing The Obama Administration
Here we have a clip from the Glenn Beck show on Fox showing us who Obama's Green Job's Czar is, really. His name is Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist and board member of the Apollo Alliance. Don't know what the Apollo Alliance is? Well do your homework. My question is this: Why is such a radical communist so high in the Obama administration, acting as one of his chief advisors? Oh and one more little tidbit, in a book Van Jones wrote several years ago he said he would like to see a government program called "hoopdies for hybrids." No that is totally different than Obama's Cash for Clunkers. With radical friends everywhere around Obama why is it so difficult for some educated people out there to understand what kind of American hating fascist this president is?

Getting Involved: Town Hall Meeting At Its Best
Great Video of a Marine Corp Vet sticking it to his congressman. You have to love the congressman's response to Mr. Hedrick (the Marine) when he tells his congressman that he heard him refer to the people speaking their minds at these town hall meetings as brown shirts. The congressman says "no, I did not... and I apologized for that." Apologized for what congressman not saying it? If it wasn't so frightening it would be funny.

Cash For Clunkers Rant
First off let me apologize for the weeks with no post. I was on vacation for one of those weeks and. . . well hey, it's summer in Florida, what can I say. Now on to the meat.
This bill, above all others this year, has put the spotlight on exactly what the problem is here in the United States of America. I know several "conservative" people who have either already traded their car in with this cash for clunkers deal, or are seriously thinking about doing it (if the money keeps coming in, which it doesn't look like it will, he he). I have listened to people bitch and moan about our President saying he is ruining the country, turning us into a socialist country, etc. etc. I happen to agree with most of what they are saying also. What I do not understand is how can someone complain about our country turning socialist on the one hand and then take advantage of this cash for clunkers program.
You want to know how they can, I will tell you. They will say things like, "well the government is sticking it to me so I will stick it back to them and take that money." Or something like: "I have been paying into social security and I won't see a dime of it so why not take the money." You people get the idea I am sure. So why is it that these "conservatives" are so willing to embrace another one of Obama's socialist programs? The answer: They can take advantage of it. It gives them something, it "helps" them out.
I have been working on some things since I have been off, positive things, but this puts a bigger damper on the whole work. I knew people that took advantage of the system were everywhere in the United States, but people I thought shared the same dream for America as I did? It almost hurts me. Nothing will ever change in America until attitudes like this change, at least from the people who know better. These people think that they are sticking it to their government, who has raped them for so long, but they are not. They are part of the problem. They are not hurting the government, they are throwing fuel on the fire of socialism that has swept through this great country.
They are helping grow government, not helping get it back under control. Wake up people, there is a HUGE difference between your government and your country. Which one do you really want to preserve? Do you want to preserve the "radical" movement of freedom. Freedom is like a grain of sand on the beach of time. Look through your history and compare those who have had freedom and those who have been ruled over by a King, Prince, Dictator, etc. Are we really so eager to throw our freedoms away because our government wants to put our country more in ruin by chaining posterity with more and more debt? Do people really want to hand over their freedom so Uncle Sam can take care of them? I know a lot do and it makes me afraid for our country. I know times are tough, I know so people "need" a car but socialism is never the answer.
Look at where it has taken us the last one-hundred years. A bankrupt social security system, a bankrupt health care system, and it looks like poverty still exist, I guess all of the money spent on "The War on Poverty" and the Great Society didn't help out much did it. No!!! It never does, it creates more government that is all. Seriously these so-called conservatives really need to sit down by themselves and think about what they want The United States of America to look like in fifty years. This selfishness has got to stop. Lets preserve freedom for our future generations. And to all of you out there that took advantage of the cash for clunkers program, and helped put our beloved country further in debt SHAME ON YOU!
