5 Percent Rule Voted Down

Democrats Vote Down 5 Percent Rule

In a bid to stem taxpayer losses for bad loans guaranteed by federal housing agencies Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac, Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn) proposed that borrowers be required to make a 5% down payment in order to qualify. His proposal was rejected 57-42 on a party-line vote because, as Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn) explained, “passage of such a requirement would restrict home ownership to only those who can afford it.”

I can’t add anything to this.

If this does not cheer you up, nothing will

And 120,000 MORE jobs are lost…

The Jackass’s name is Ken Salazar. He’s the Secretary of the Interior. The Drilling Moratorium was struck down by a Federal Court Judge in New Orleans, and is NO LONGER in force.

Salazar sez he will JUST ISSUE ANOTHER ORDER to stop drilling.

Guess who just gave 2 BILLION of YOUR TAX DOLLARS to a Brazilian offshore drilling company named “Petro-Braz” ?

OBAMA did…

Guess who has over 900,000,000 – YES, Nine-hundred MILLION invested in Petro-Braz ??

George Soros – The RICHEST SOCIALIST on the face of the planet.

Where do you think the offshore drilling rigs (…and THE JOBS ONSHORE that support those rigs ) will go when they can’t drill in the Gulf ??

SOUTH AMERICA — The CEO of Diamond Offshore said TODAY that this is precisely what he will be FORCED TO DO with his 6 offshore rigs which are now in the Gulf…

This is what THIS ROTTEN-ASS ADMINISTRATION does — if they can’t get Congress to impose a NEW restriction, tax or fee, then either Obama or one of his Cabinet members will issue an ORDER. When that doesn’t work because a Federal Judge says it’s not something for which an individual can just ISSUE AN ORDER, then Salazar just ISSUES A NEW ONE.

The Congressional Budget Office says the Moratorium will KILL 120,000 MORE jobs. Let’s hope it’s not ours…

Adults-Only Milkshakes

Adult milkshakes are milkshakes with alcohol added. While it may sound slightly odd, using different spirits can help tone down the sweetness and add more complex flavors that turn the milkshake into a sophisticated dessert instead of just a treat for kids.

Interesting!! Listen

Please listen to this short interview with Steve Wynn, Hotelier and Real Estate on CNBC. Investor in Las Vegas and Macau. If you listen to this interview (short & to the point, especially the last half) and nothing else today, you will be better informed than your neighbor about the state of the union.

Ink Spill

One of the best political cartoons I’ve seen.

How did Jefferson know?

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement: “This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of
When Thomas Jefferson dined alone.”

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.
Thomas Jefferson

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much
Government.
Thomas Jefferson

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms
is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he
disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802 :
‘I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their
currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will
grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property – until their children
wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.’

What do people fear most?

Ron just got a new sports car…

E-bay scam

This is pathetic, but damn funny when you think about it for a second!

Two magazines, Country Living (95.99% white readership) and

Ebony /Jet (99.99% black readership) did surveys on….

“WHAT DO PEOPLE FEAR MOST?” The results were interesting, to say the least…

Country Living magazine’s top three answers were:

1. Nuclear war/terrorist attack in U.S

2. Child/spouse dying

3. Terminal illness?

Ebony / Jet magazine’s top three answers were:?

1. Ghosts?

2. Dogs?

3. Registered mail

No Kidding… And these are the people who put Obama over the top; what would you expect?

AND TO GO ALONG WITH ALL OF THIS, I’LL SHARE TWO QUOTES; ONE PITIFUL AND ONE GREAT! You figure out which is which.?

“My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you’ll join with me, as we try to change it.” — Barack Obama?

”Life’s tough, pilgrim, and it’s even tougher if you’re stupid.” — John Wayne

Ron just got a new sports car and was out for
a drive when he cut off a truck driver.

The trucker motioned for Ron to pull over. When he
did, the driver got out of his truck and pulled
a piece of chalk from his pocket. He drew a circle on
the road and told Ron to stand in the circle and not move.

He then went to Ron’s new car and cut up the leather seats.
When the truck driver turned around Ron had a slight grin on his face.

“Oh, you think that’s funny?” the trucker asked, “Watch this.”

He got a baseball bat out of his truck and broke every window
in the car. When he turned and looked Ron had a smile on his
face.

This drove the driver into a rage.? He got his knife back
out and sliced all the tires.

Now Ron was laughing.

The truck driver really started to lose it. He went back to his truck and got a can of gas, poured it on the sports car and set it on fire.

He turned around and Ron was laughing so hard he almost fell down.

“What’s so funny?” The truck driver asked him.

Ron replied, “When you weren’t looking, I stepped outside the circle 4 times!”
