um, I'm sorry.... i don't mean to be a Debbie downer (i know I'm pro at it)
but Jennifer Hudson is on the way to ID the body of her nephew..... he
was shot multiple times, one to the head.... =( i cried when i heard they just found the body this morning but they still weren't sure it was him.....
i hate what our world is turning into & you want to know what i hate
the MOST!?!?!?!?!?!?! i HATE (and i mean HATE) fucking idiot people
who have the audacity NOW to say, "oh, i don't condone violence but
this monster needs to be killed!" um, excuse me- why just HIM?! there
are TONS of monster like this guy in the world but what? you don't
condone the death penalty or capital punishment for them? and the
thing i hate the most is that this guy will most likely get life in prison &
NOTHING will come of this! he'll literally get away with murder cuz
they would appeal his shit god knows HOW many times & that
would cost more than just keeping him in prison.... either way, we're
paying for it! i say the MOMENT they know he did it, he's done.
do EXACTLY what he did to those innocent people and be done with it!
and that's the end of my rant.
thank you.

You can’t deny that there’s truth to this!
These are not my words...I have given proper credit to the deserving man at the bottom. But any self respecting person with an ounce of Cuban blood feels passionately about this, especially once these points are made clear. I've never been a person BIG into politics, but this really tugs into my emotions. As a daughter of a Cuban refugee, I pledge to not join the masses in being sucked into the charisma of a young, inexperienced man who promises "change"...
FIDEL CASTRO & OBAMA
All I wish to express, as a former Cuban exile, is that Barack Obama and Fidel Castro share many personality traits, i.e.:
Both were abandoned by their fathers at an early age.
Both are charming, eloquent lawyers that say exactly what people want to hear at the right time and place.
One never led the nation to suspect he was a communist at heart, the other doesn't mention the word socialism when in reality this is exactly what his agenda stands for.
Both were virtually unknown until they began to use the word 'change' as their main political motto.
Both have egos as tall as the twin towers, yet they manage to present themselves humbly, one in soiled military fatigues and the other sweating and with an undone tie.
Both have the unique ability to distort truth and lies as if they were the same.
Both have the ability to hypnotize the ignorant and fool the wishful thinker and to divide a nation in classes, (divide and you shall win) In Fidel's case he divided the rich against the poor, the illiterate against the educated and the black against the white. In Obama's case even if by omission, he's de-facto dividing the races already.
And lastly I'll use the words of Jorge Santayana to finish my case in point: 'Those who can't remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
And in the words of Sir Winston Churchill: 'The inherent vice of Capitalism is the unequal distribution of blessings, the inherent vice of Socialism is the equal distribution of misery.'
GOD SAVE AMERICA!

In closing, vote Yes on Prop 2 and No on Prop 8...I still have my liberal views but my overall foundation respectfully leans to the RIGHT side.

If you're behind on your mortgage & about to be foreclosed...
....go get a gun & shoot yourself! Don't believe me??? Read this:
"A 90-year-old Akron, Ohio, woman who shot herself as
sheriff's deputies tried to evict her from her foreclosed home
became a symbol of the nation's home mortgage crisis Friday.
Addie Polk is being treated at Akron General Medical Center
after shooting herself at least twice in the upper body Wednesday
afternoon, her city councilman said.
On Friday, Fannie Mae spokesman Brian Faith said the mortgage
association had decided to halt action against Polk and sign the
property "outright" to her. "We're going to forgive whatever
outstanding balance she had on the loan and give her the house,
" Faith said. "Given the circumstances, we think it's appropriate."
Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, mentioned Polk
on the House floor Friday during debate over the latest economic
rescue proposal."
So., really? This 90 year old woman had to make a blunt point
by SHOOTING HERSELF cuz she didn't want to leave her home
and now everything is "a-ok"?! Can you imagine if this were to
REALLY become a trend??? Makes me sick... ={
My question to anyone who reads this & works/worked in the
mortgage/real estate/loan business is why AND how all this was ok?!
How was it ok to approve people for loans they couldn't afford, even
go as far as in LYING on the applications that way they could purchase
a home that was REALLY out of their means??? Yes, I know, we can
blame a lot of this on greed but look where we are now.....
You know what's weird? 2 years ago, my dad knew this was going
to happen. You wanna know what's scary? After seeing/understanding
what he was saying 2 years ago, I predicted this would not become
a "recession" but a "depression"...... One of the few thinga my father
and I have in common- we don't like to be proven right.... Let's just
say we're pretty perturbed right now.....
me.

By Glenn Beck
CNN- NEW YORK --
Dear America:
Happy 300th Birthday!
It's 2076 and we've just invented the time-fax machine. (Actually, "we" didn't invent the time-fax machine, the State did -- they pretty much control everything now.)
I'm faxing this back to you in 2008 because that seems to be the year we had the best chance to reverse our course and get back to the vision laid out by our founding fathers -- a vision that didn't include the government being in the insurance business.
I don't have a lot of time (the State only gives us one 30-minute break per day) so let me give you some advice: Stop worrying so much about who runs the country and start worrying about who runs your towns, your states, and your Congress.
I know you're all distracted by the presidential election, but for all the money and time poured into it, the truth is that you're choosing between two roads that will lead you to the same destination. Sure, one may be the Autobahn and the other a two-lane highway, but you'll end up at the same place either way.
Decades of Republicans and Democrats alike have all chipped in to lead you to where you are today. Believing that one person, from either party, can change that by themselves is a big mistake.
Presidents are like captains of a large ship: They can map out a course and shout out orders, but without the trust and hard work of the people who actually move the rudders, their commands
mean nothing.
In retrospect, the lack of trust and confidence you now have in your leaders was really the root cause of everything that's happened since. While our founding fathers designed a brilliant
system of checks and balances, separation of powers and democratic elections, trust was the one thing they couldn't mandate in the Constitution.
Unfortunately, it's also the foundation upon which everything else is built and once it began to erode, our whole house inevitably began to crumble.
Looking back now, it's pretty obvious that our trust in government declined at about the same rate as our partisanship increased. People became so concerned about getting their party
into power at any cost that the truth didn't even seem to matter anymore.
That's probably one of the reasons why George Washington hated the idea of political parties so much. Here's what he said about them in his 1796 farewell speech:
"The alternate domination of one faction over another,
sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension,
which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the
most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism.
But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism.
The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds
of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an
individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction,
more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this
disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins
of public liberty. "
I know that George had a habit for using big words, so allow me to translate into 2008 English: Political parties that put their own success over that of the country's will be the death of America.
If you don't believe him yet, just wait a few more years...you're about to see firsthand how right he was. After all, if power corrupts, then the kind of absolute power gained by political parties (and feared by Washington) corrupts absolutely.
The best advice I can give you is to stop thinking in terms of left and right and start thinking in terms of right and wrong. Demand the best leaders possible, and then demand the best out of them.
Believe me, when you see what's coming your way, you'll realize how little the donkey and the elephant really ever mattered. Oh and while we're on politics, one quick thing that I'm sure you're curious about: Yes, Robert Byrd is still in the Senate. He's 159, but doesn't look a day over 91.
Now, let's talk about the economy. Let me see if I have this right: Money and power made people greedy, so you decided to hand over a bunch of money and power to greedy politicians instead. Smart! After using that money to nationalize a bunch of banks, mortgage companies and insurance companies, they moved on to bigger things.
The airlines came first -- we just couldn't live without them. Then it was the automakers (Detroit would've died), health care (they said they could manage it better), and eventually, the oil companies (I'm not sure where all of those "windfall profits" have gone).
The idea behind it all (an idea that was eventually turned into law with the passage of the Securities Exchange Act of 2011) was to "socialize losses" by spreading them out among all taxpayers. The pain, our leaders argued, would be minimal that way.
They were right. At least until the bills came due.
See, we didn't actually have any of the money we were promising everyone; we were borrowing it.
It didn't take long before so many of our tax dollars were going toward interest payments that we couldn't fund even the most basic of government programs without massive tax increases
on everyone. People now work most of the year just to pay Uncle Sam (or, as we now call him, "Comrade Sam").
I hear the State censors coming, so let me leave you with a few other quick things:
• Good call on not worrying about protecting our borders. That works out really well for you in 2019.
• You might want to spend a little less time worrying about carbon and a little more time worrying about Iran. We're now in a new mini-Ice Age but, believe me, Iran isn't using their
nukes to warm any homes. (PS The International Atomic Energy Agency just revealed to you that Iran appears to be refitting their long-range missiles to carry nuclear payloads. Did you think they were joking or were you just too busy with lipsticks and pigs to notice?)
• The currency of the future is energy. Those who have it are thriving and those who don't -- well, let's just leave it at that.
Drill for all the oil you can, but you also better start seriously looking for some other options.
In closing, remember this golden rule and you should be fine:
Your Constitution will never fail you, but your leaders will. Be wary of anyone who tries to convince you that it's the other way around.
Best wishes (you're going to need them),
Worker 2744A
PS It's not all socialist doom and gloom here in the future.
We just thawed Ted Williams' cryogenically frozen body and he hit 87 home runs for the North Team!
