<summary type="html" ><![CDATA[&nbsp;&nbsp;<b><span style="font-size: small">&nbsp;&nbsp; I have been watching TV news and talk shows for years and have<br />
become very good at predicting what schemes the Democrats are<br />
planning to do next.&nbsp;&nbsp; The Demorats have &quot;their media&quot;&nbsp;lay the ground work&nbsp;before something happens, like&nbsp;the terribly dangerous diet Rush is/was on so when he goes belly up, they can convince the public it&nbsp;was an total accident and don't&nbsp;blame us, heck,&nbsp;we tried to warn him.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp; Just today I was listening to Rush talk about the talk shows commenting on his diet being &quot;really dangerous&quot;.&nbsp; Well, well, well, why would they worry about this or even bring this up?&nbsp;&nbsp; If they were trying to discredit his diet they could have used a more effective angle, but oh no, they were saying it is&nbsp;&quot;really dangerous&quot;.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; My prediction is that the Democrats&nbsp;are mad at Rush for stopping the health care bill and are now trying to take &quot;El Rushbo&quot; out so they can get their ridiculious agenda passed through Congress without any of his harassment.<br />

<summary type="html" ><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp; Wait just a minute let me get this straight.&nbsp;&nbsp; The average high school test scores has declined since the federal government took over control of our local schools and now a sizable amount of students are graduating and not even knowing how to read or write at an acceptable level.&nbsp;&nbsp; The Congress has also bankrupted the Savings and Loan companies while supposely regulating them and let's also not forget them controling the money supply and now we are over 10 trillion (yes, that's with a T)&nbsp;dollars in debt.&nbsp; I could go on and on.&nbsp;&nbsp; Well, OK, I will.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;They also regulated or oversaw (but really ran) the mortgage industry (Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac) and they put the real estate industry in the trash heep and then blamed those &quot;greedy bankers&quot; and wall street brokers.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;They continually put many burdens on the auto industry which has&nbsp;encouraged, not helped, their dismal situation&nbsp;and now have given most of the ownership of the auto industry to the group who is the most responsible for their collapse, the unions.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; OK, what's next?&nbsp;&nbsp; Now they want to take control of health care&nbsp;and also start&nbsp;trying to adjust&nbsp;the&nbsp;earth's&nbsp;&quot;thermostat&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;How do you think that's going to&nbsp;turn out&nbsp;examining their track record?&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;We, the voters, are letting them&nbsp;do this.&nbsp; You can say what you want about ACORN&nbsp;and the ridiculous excuse we have for a media all you want but they couldn't do this without millions and millions of &quot;useful idiots&quot;&nbsp;and they're out there, not only having no idea that they are, in fact, idiots, but at the same time thinking they are the most&nbsp;brilliant &quot;species&quot; (I say species because they are indeed a different breed of animal) and anyone who doesn't agree with them just &quot;doesn't care&quot;.<br />

&nbsp;&nbsp; Senator Chuck Schumer of New York is going after Wall Street Executives&nbsp;and&nbsp;I am looking foward to listening to this.&nbsp; Talk about your basic dog finally catching the car he has been chasing for years.&nbsp;&nbsp; I can tell you first hand Chuck does not have the mental muscle or the ethics (yes ethics, and sadly that's not even a close call)&nbsp;to combat these guys.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; If this was a prize fight then no commissioner&nbsp;would allow it&nbsp;because Chuckie&nbsp;could get killed.&nbsp; My God,&nbsp; he's a fly-weight going&nbsp;against heavy-weights&nbsp;and that just isn't fair.&nbsp; I know, I know&nbsp;- Chuck has brought this on himself but&nbsp;Chuckie is a complete&nbsp;idiot and he needs someone to look after him.&nbsp; Are we just going to all&nbsp;stand&nbsp;back and watch this massacre? &nbsp;Well, yes I am because I need a good laugh.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp; I guess it's time&nbsp;Chuckie finds out that not everyone is as stupid as the voters in New York who keep voting him back in office.&nbsp;&nbsp; Any city that has to&nbsp;give&nbsp;an athlete a body guard (to protect him from people who might give him bodily harm for statements he made which showed his intolerance of people who&nbsp;didn't think exactly like him - well, duh!) doesn't deserve good leadership.&nbsp; Now tell me that's not&nbsp;a city that needs some professsional help - BIG TIME!<br />

Twice the size of their peers<br />

<title>BANKS and LIBERALS in CAHOOTS</title>

&nbsp;&nbsp; I think the Democrats and banks&nbsp;are working together&nbsp;(althought the banks probably don't have the slightest idea they 're being duped)&nbsp; to nationalize all the big banks.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you look at the sequence of events then the big picture becomes more and more apparent.&nbsp;&nbsp; First the great &quot;community organizers&quot;, Obama and his horde of lawyers, goes after any bank that won't loan money to anyone of color who couldn't ordinarily ever qualify for any large loan and can't possibly pay&nbsp;extravagant&nbsp;mortages (or any mortage for that&nbsp;matter)&nbsp;calling them racists and forcing them to make the loans or go to court.&nbsp; Then when the&nbsp;banks go to&nbsp;the Congress&nbsp;for help they are told not to worry about the defaults because Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will cover for them.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp; The next step is to&nbsp;get the banks to&nbsp;go to the people who are regularly making their payments and talk them&nbsp;into changing their fixed mortage rates&nbsp;into a cheaper but more&nbsp;risky adjustable rate.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then &quot;presto chango&quot; the Feds raise the&nbsp;interest rate causing the adjustable rates to sky-rocket&nbsp;which in turn&nbsp;makes it harder (maybe impossible)&nbsp;for even&nbsp;more&nbsp; people&nbsp;to&nbsp;make their payments&nbsp;and so they lose their homes.&nbsp;&nbsp;This causes a massive glut of available houses on the market which naturally causes the value of everyone else's home to decline dramaticly.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some of these houses being paid for are now not worth the&nbsp;money people&nbsp;still owe on them and so they start purposely defaulting on their loans which&nbsp;advances a further&nbsp;collapse in home value.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp; Now let's&nbsp;add to all of this Barney Frank, chairman of the House banking committee, and Chris Dodd, chairman of the Senate baning committee, completely ignoring warnings by experts of the on-coming&nbsp;bankruptcy &nbsp;of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Don't get me wrong, I am fully aware that Barney and Chris are stupid but surely not that stupid.&nbsp; The predictable&nbsp;collapse occurs and then the &nbsp;federal government, who caused this problem in the first place,&nbsp;comes to&nbsp;the country's rescue saying, &quot;don't worry,&nbsp;we will take over the banks&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Well, go figure.&nbsp; MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!</b>]]></summary>

&nbsp; I've got a complaint about the thoughts staff who police these blogs.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am basically talking about political blogs that tilt toward the right.&nbsp; They are being attacked by boggers who are payed by Obama's staff (this can be confirmed by many former Hillary workers who after she was defeated joined Obama's staff only to then be assigned to this task) to prowl the various web sites looking for right wing posts and then slander every right wing politician (and there aren't many left) and when you respond by taking up for them by calling these &quot;drive-by bloggers&quot;&nbsp;liars and morons (which they are) then they&nbsp;run to the Thoughts staff and complain about it.&nbsp; The right wing blogger is then chastised or reduced stars for their behavior.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp; I'm all for the staff policing the site but at least give the bloggers who have been with this site for a fairly long period of time the benefit of the doubt and not some johnnie-come-lately whose only contribution to this site from his original sign-up date (which is usually that day) is his one trouble-making comment on someone else's post.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I think&nbsp;this is totally unprofessional.&nbsp; I know this post I'm making now is also unprofessional because I should have contacted the thoughts' staff&nbsp;privately.&nbsp; Well, I didn't because when this happened to me I was reprimanded&nbsp;not having the opportunity to explain my comments or&nbsp;come face to face with my accusers.&nbsp; Oh, and by the way, those bloggers (I say bloggers but they are not because they only made a few comments and no post) are now gone.<br />
