You pounded President Bush every day with made up or false news stories.  He made mistakes.   All presidents do.  But they were there everyday of the war telling the Americans that we couldn’t win and we were loosing and had no plan no leadership etc.  But we defeated the the third largest army in the world.  in 27 days.  On that day only the fool with Woody Allen glasses from the Iraqi state department and the American press stood there and continued to talk of our defeat.  What should have been a proud moment in History was not reported as that.  Pride and accolades should have been laid on the president and the military leaders and soldiers.  Compared to any war in history including conflicts and Clinton Humanitarian forays there were fewer us and civilian causalities by many multiples.  More people died in the first hour on D day or Detroit or Washington DC during the time period.  Fewer planes were lost than average peace time training.  This in every way was an astonishing victory but the press treated it as a defeat.   Then while terrorist and war criminals with no regard for international laws or common human decency ceremoniously cut the head off or soldiers, civilians and Western journalists and taped it to play over and over to cheering crowds.  Your outrage was saved for Us soldiers that embarrassed these war criminals.   You continued to attack every thing who wasn’t a liberal, democrat, communist, or hated America.  The world They wanted to change wouldn’t have a free press.  They are too stupid to think of that.  Already you see Obama trying to decide who is the news and who gets access to the White house.  By any standard few of the now starving Newspapers and wire services qualify as the “Press”  they have demonstrated that they are simply an arm of the liberal democrat socialist communist party.  There are plenty of countries that already have this system firmly in place that they could move to and they should.  There are limited jobs for them but well connected ones in the Pavda, Algeseir, etc.  No fact checking required and you don’t even need to think up your own stories.  World changing stories will be provided by the government.

You shamelessly supported a completely unqualified American hating Arab for president.  Hid his digressions and failed to investigate a single thing that was detrimental or claimed by him while you attacked innocent Americans like Joe the plumber and Sarah Palins children.  You are the center of a conspiracy to destroy America because it isn’t created by anything you do or ever did.  Die a slow painful death US Press Corp.  Hopefully your death will infect the liberal democrat,socialist,communist,progressive,centrist or every other disguise they use to hid who they really are, remove the enemy of the state from office along with his hoard of elitist who will have nothing of the crap they seem to think we deserve.  Good riddance to you all.

I want to live comfortably, to not have to worry about money to pay for my life style.  I don’t live excessively, in my mind.  If I had more money would I spend more?  You bet I would.  I earned 10 times what I do now and I spent every bit of it.   I was 20 times more in debt.   So am I greedy?  What is greed.  Everyone seems to know what it is but it is subject to the position of the everyone.  Here is what Wikipedia says:

Greed (also called avarice) in psychology is an inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth.^[1]

How much do we need, how much do we deserve.  New question?  I googled it and got thousands of hits but no definitive answer.  So Greed is completely subjective.   I have discussed equality and  found that it is a myth.  I have had people in my own family tell me that I had it easy compared to them.   They assumed wrongly that my father was helping me with my finances.   No evidence, they just were sure.  People do that generally.  They see their life as drudgery while the rest of the world has it made.  No facts are required to have these emotional notions.  Where my relative  sat in front of the TV drinking beer, I worked into the night on a house I built.   They still hate me.  But I live on a fraction of their earnings.

The Obama Administration, Barry included, calls the banking executives greedy, Wallstreet, Industry, Manufacturing greedy yet He and almost all of his Democrat cohorts are Lawyers and Millionaires.  Barry never worked at a job that made anything, he can’t even account for how he got his millions.  Deals with criminals?  contributions from people  he won’t identify.  It is all hidden.  Does he deserve his millions?  Does he need his millions?  Is he the one person in this world who decides who deserves and needs what, or does he represent the very definition of Greed.  He takes money from the people who don’t support him and gives it to the people who do and they give money to him.   His jig is up.   He won’t serve a second term, but he will be paid for the rest of his life for being president.   Another thing he doesn’t deserve.  Unlike all the people he calls greedy who earned there pensions by a life time of achievement.

Everyone knows the executives at Enron were greedy.  Thousands of people lost their life’s savings because of their acti0ns.  Or did they.  The stock holders who held Enron ignored the basic rule of investments.  “Diversify”.   They didn’t, they held Enron stock exclusively.  Why?  It was high return stock and made lots of money.  Greed made them want to have more and more of Enron.  That made the impact so severe.  They wanted what the Executives had.

I think I am greedy.  I don’t know if that is good or bad.    I want all I can get for me and for my fellow man.   Taking things from one person and giving them to another doesn’t create anything.   No one gains.   The world suffers for it, and it is stupid.  In fact everything we have and know and love is the product of someone’s Greed.   The Whole world flocks to our borders to live in the land where greed can be applied and realized.  The rest suffer.   Greed is good.   All the people who advocate distribution of wealth mean, your wealth, not their wealth.  Obama could donate to his family who live in poverty but doesn’t   If people want to distribute wealth they are perfectly capable of distributing their own.  All those Millionaires in Obama’s administration.  they can sit down and right a check.  In fact the whole Democratic party can.  They have the wealth.  What is stopping them.  Greed?

Don’t get me wrong I am all in favor of helping people who are down on their luck.   Having the government do it in our name,  is like throwing 90 cents of every dollar in the toilet and giving what is left to the down trodden then telling them they have the government to thank for it. Our name is never mentioned, as if the government earned its own money or invested it and earned interest or dividends where did they get it?  From us at gunpoint.

The government didn’t bail out GM we did.  Yet the Unions who are the problem in the first place give their allegiance to Obama.   Well he did bend the rules and exempt them from joining in on the shared sacrifice the rest of us are expected to pay.  GM should have gone under.  The management was at fault for not standing up to accessive regulation and Union demands.   Saying it was too important to fail?  I don’t buy that.  This country is too important to fail.   Throwing trillions at failed industries to save unions is in no one’s interest accept the Unions and their political allies.   If you read about the early days of communist Russia, Unions and the party were almost the same thing.  Looks like the unions are greedy to me the market wouldn’t pay what they demanded felt they didn’t deserve it. The competitors who did not demands it thrived so looks like they didn’t need it either.  The Government has squandered trillions of dollars and accomplished nothing.  They don’t deserve it our money.  They have so much of our money they can’t keep track of it.  They don’t need it.   But the federal and to a lesser degree the state and local governments are not Greedy,  they are Preditory

“I think the greatest risk for Democrats is passing nothing,” said Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va. “There are a lot of things the public may not support in a given moment, but later on, when things have quieted down, they may think of highly.”

An overhaul of U.S. health care could fit that description, he said.

This is an over use of words.   It beats around the bush as to blur it’s real meaning.  In all its cacophony it simply says the  “We don’t  know what’s good for us.”

In 1992 I was called by a staff member of Joe Lieberman.  It was a survey about what I thought was the biggest concern of mine in respect to the government roll in improving my life.  I replied that I thought the governments roll was the biggest problem.  The pollster ignored my answer and proceeded as if I said “There is a health care crisis and I think the Government should fix it.”  Her next question was what do you think the government should do to fix health care.  The poll went on just like that until she had filled out her poll sheet and nothing I said effected the results of the poll. The poll was designed to either convince me or prove a result they had already surmised.  I don’t think of Health care as being the project of Lieberman but the Clinton’s.  They are the one’s who told America we had a Health care Crisis.   The government has interfered for  18 years and the “Crisis” is worse than ever.

Let congress produce a single example of a well run, efficient,cost effective,agency or project produced therein.  Against their list of zero (0)  I submit All the departments of our federal government.  Like our Dept of energy conceived to make us energy independent?  How many years and Trillions have been spent and the results?  ZIP.ZERO.  Post Office.  Putting itself our of business tax free while UPS and Fedex and others flourish.  The rates go up and the service goes down.  Before long the Post office will not function at all and the paid postal workers will become a terrorist group.  How about that Education department.  Did you notice how our schools have improved in the decades of their stewardship.   Me either

So instead of telling the citizens of this once great country to sit down and shut up Congrsess should be apologizing for their performance, and attitude.  Then look for a job where performance isn’t necessary.

It would appear that Congress doesn’t know what is good for us.  Hey Congress, ” Sit down and shut up.”

Estimates report $45trillion has been spent on this hoax in the form of “Greening the world”    Wonder where our economy would be if we could get that back.

Perhaps they will not contract with the manufacturer at current discount rates because of the high volume but order less and when they run out tough for you.  Less supply will means they need to charge more for these items to make a profit.  So, again, tough for you.  Because you thinks you should run companies without any investment or knowledge, you cause the price to go up, and the availability to go down.

If you think it is such a good idea to give away clothes why haven’t you done it yourself?  You have clothes.  Give them away!  You see Liberals don’t give their stuff away they want someone else to give it away at their expense.

Consider this; You are a consumer you can go to the store and buy clothes from a retailer who contacted to have them made, shipped, arranged in a huge store full of things you want for you, your home etc. with thousands of employees to stock them arrange them and provide a heated or cooled safe environment for you to shop, or would you rather wait til the clothes are free and just pick them up.  How long will a retailer stay in business doing this?

However none of this matters because none of this stuff is yours.  It all belongs to the Retailer or even the Manufacturer on consignment.  They paid for the material labor and all the hundreds of costs to market it.  It is none of your business what they do.  Nor is it the governments business.

So if you want Utopia, build it yourself you lazy moocher.  And Good luck with that.  Go live in a socialist country for a month you will see why they put up fences to keep the people in.  Continue on this socialist bent you are on, liberals and we will be waiting in line for bread that will be free for all the people in Utopia.  Look at history; it has happened over and over.

Ever wonder what the hurry is.  Why do the Senators have to pass this health care bill tomorrow night?  Why do they need to negotiate the terms in secret?  What would go wrong if they waited til they read it and came to a thoughtful reasoned decision?  The country’s future is at stake.  Well I will tell you why.  Obama, Reed and Pelosi are afraid senators will go home and face the overwhelming majority of Americans who are against this bill and decide they want to keep the power they have and get reelected.  Worse still they might realize it is wrong legislation at the wrong time for the wrong reason.  They may do the math and see that it is stupid.  They may see through the ulterior motives.   They may decide to represent their constituents.    That’s why flim flam people always tell you “you have to buy it now or there will be none left”   they know if you go home to think about it “Reason will prevail”.  Obama, Pelosi and Reed won’t have that.
