Affirmative Action is Over


The weird irony in the fact that Obama is now president elect is that Jeremiah Wright (Obama’s Pastor and Lifelong Mentor) was obviously WRONG.  He’s preached against white people and how the USA tries to keep the black man down and here we are in a country that’s still nearly 75% white and we’ve just elected a black guy to be president.

So here’s the question … will this be good or bad for African American’s and other minorities?  I know I don’t want to hear it anymore … as far as I’m concerned affirmative action is OVER.

Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Jeremiah Wright have nothing to say.  How can you argue that this nation is not fair when we have successful African American businesspeople, head coaches at all levels of sports, politicians, university presidents, ceo’s of major corporations, cabinet members, supreme court justices, and the President of the United States of America?

Hawaii dropping universal child health care because it doesn’t work!


HONOLULU —  Hawaii is dropping the only state universal child health care program in the country just seven months after it launched.

Gov. Linda Lingle’s administration cited budget shortfalls and other available health care options for eliminating funding for the program. A state official said families were dropping private coverage so their children would be eligible for the subsidized plan.

“People who were already able to afford health care began to stop paying for it so they could get it for free,” said Dr. Kenny Fink, the administrator for Med-QUEST at the Department of Human Services. “I don’t believe that was the intent of the program.”

State officials said Thursday they will stop giving health coverage to the 2,000 children enrolled by Nov. 1, but private partner Hawaii Medical Service Association will pay to extend their coverage through the end of the year without government support.

DEMOCRATS PLANNING ON A WIN …


And who can blame them, considering the intelligence of the American voter.

As soon as the Move-On Democrat Party gets their Democrat president-elect they’ll be off to the races … first up, a new wealth redistribution bill, sometimes called a stimulus bill. It’s a very simple plan. They take money away from people who don’t support them and give it to people who do.

You did hear The Chosen One over the weekend … I hope. Some plumber caught him in public without his teleprompter and started asking him some pointed questions about his tax plans. The Democrat/Socialist candidate told the plumber dude that he wanted to “spread the wealth around.” Well excuse the ever-loving horsesqueeze out of me, but that wealth isn’t the government’s to “spread around” as Barack puts it. The wealth belongs to the people who earned it, and the government can’t spread it around without first seizing it. Of course seizing that wealth from the evil high-achievers is something that appeals to a huge number of voters in this country.

Lawmaker Accused of Fannie Mae Conflict of Interest


WASHINGTON -

Unqualified home buyers were not the only ones who benefitted from Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank’s efforts to deregulate Fannie Mae throughout the 1990s.

So did Frank’s partner, a Fannie Mae executive at the forefront of the agency’s push to relax lending restrictions.

Now that Fannie Mae is at the epicenter of a financial meltdown that threatens the U.S. economy, some are raising new questions about Frank’s relationship with Herb Moses, who was Fannie’s assistant director for product initiatives. Moses worked at the government-sponsored enterprise from 1991 to 1998, while Frank was on the House Banking Committee, which had jurisdiction over Fannie.

America’s chilling future


By Glenn Beck

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.

1 Down Most Likely 11 To Go


Here is Zach Wamp (R-TN) this morning in the Chattanoogan … “I voted against a bad bailout bill on Monday, and will now vote [Yes] for a better rescue plan, not because I like it or want to, but because we fought as hard as we could for more reforms. Now it’s time to vote for the financial security of all Americans and small business people on Main Street.” Does anybody know what that actually means?!? Based on that statement he apparently voted AGAINST the financial security of all Americans and small business people on Main Street when he voted NO last Monday? He should have said … “not because I like it or want to, but because I’m under a lot of pressure from the Washington establishment and frankly I’m scared.”

BAILOUT PASSES THE SENATE


OCTOBER 2, 2008: The House will vote on this bill Friday October 3rd.  Make sure your Congressman knows how you feel today.  CLICK HERE for the online directory.

CLICK HERE if you would like to see how your Congressman voted on Monday’s bailout bill.

by Neal Boortz

It wasn’t just a bailout. There were a lot of goodies added in for both political parties. Some spending here, some tax breaks there, and some additional government regulations somewhere else.

Health insurance companies are now going to be required to include mental health care on parity with care of physical illnesses. Do you have any idea how much this is going to include the premiums on virtually every health insurance plan out there? This will cause more people to drop insurance …followed immediately with politicians screaming about the dire need for what is, but what they won’t call socialized medicine. The ultimate goal here is to gain more control of you by controlling your access to health care. Making private health insurance policies difficult to buy and maintain is part of the plan.

Buried somewhere in the bailout bill is a tax break for some company that makes some particular type of wooden arrow that is used by some children somewhere. Feel good about that? Wait until you see what the House members add on.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Used Political Donations to Pay Husband’s Firm


WASHINGTON - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi paid her husband’s real estate and investment firm nearly $100,000 from her political action committee over the past decade, a practice that she voted to ban last year and that her party condemned as part of the “culture of corruption” when Republicans did it.

The Washington Times is reporting that the California Democrat’s husband, Paul F. Pelosi, owns Financial Leasing Services Inc., which has received $99,000 in rent, utilities and accounting fees from the speaker’s “PAC to the Future” over the PAC’s nine-year history.

Last year, Pelosi supported a bill that would have banned members of Congress from putting spouses on their campaign staffs. The bill banned not only direct payments by congressional campaign committees and PACs to spouses for services including consulting and furndraising, but also “indirect compensation,” such as payments to companies that employ spouses.

The bill passed the House in a voice vote but died in a Senate committee.

Last week, Pelosi’s office defended the payments, saying they were legal because she is compensating her husband at fair market value for the work his firm has performed for the PAC.

Ethical watchdogs called Pelosi’s arrangement “problematic.”

Bailout Politics


By Thomas Sowell

Nothing could more painfully demonstrate what is wrong with Congress than the current financial crisis.

Among the Congressional “leaders” invited to the White House to devise a bailout “solution” are the very people who have for years created the risks that have now come home to roost.

Five years ago, Barney Frank vouched for the “soundness” of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and said “I do not see” any “possibility of serious financial losses to the treasury.”

Moreover, he said that the federal government has “probably done too little rather than too much to push them to meet the goals of affordable housing.”

Earlier this year, Senator Christopher Dodd praised Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for “riding to the rescue” when other financial institutions were cutting back on mortgage loans. He too said that they “need to do more” to help subprime borrowers get better loans.

In other words, Congressman Frank and Senator Dodd wanted the government to push financial institutions to lend to people they would not lend to otherwise, because of the risk of default.

The idea that politicians can assess risks better than people who have spent their whole careers assessing risks should have been so obviously absurd that no one would take it seriously.
