Carry on!

Just in the event you think you know everything, I have read those authors and Marx, Engels, but as sociology, not political science….

Mr Blackwell(apologies for the typo in my first post) although not a favorite of the ACLU crowd, would probably get their backing to go after you for calling a proud black man Kenny-”boy”.

just because you don’t live up to the ideals our country strives to uphold (in spite of government intrusion), don’t blame others for the attempt.

and as for free markets, the reason Bear Stearns needed a bailout was the default rate on individual mortgage loans has tripled since the invention of the non-conforming loan… people who shouldn’t be offered credit are getting homes and cars and credit lines they can’t begin to afford, then irresponsibly seeking a “do-over” when they didn’t forsee that living above their means would require a “settling-up” of their account — Just as in Vegas, the house always wins, but somehow people don’t think they will lose when they bet on themselves (and their economic future).

can you see the disconnect… even folks with lucrative careers can fall prey to this
as a millionaire friend of mine did a few years ago… but he sold his ritzy manhattan condo, went hat in hand to his former boss and put his skills to work to rebuild his fortune. (by the way, he didn’t file any bankruptcy, since his possessions paid off any debts he owed)

That’s my idea of the american dream, you can win if you find something you are good at doing, and do it well, and when markets change, sometimes you lose, but you can always win again if you don’t give up…

If this bailout didn’t happen, Mr Bundy, your IRA, Mutual funds, 401k would all suffer, not to mention the thousands of loans that would have to be called just to satisfy the creditors….

Let us not forget the bailout of other necessary industries, Rail travel (Amtrak)
Airline industry (too many to mention), and
the ongoing bialout of agriculture…. all during your liberal socialists watch on Washington in the 90s…
Economics Lesson:
If this one banking giant fails, the others are not able to absorb the strain and will also falter or fail, such is the nature of the financial markets (or are you thinking this was an isolated event, not having an impact on the global economy???)

A little more thought would help you to see that the weak dollar is a sign of the weak “proletariate”(sp?) not fulfilling their role of “each according to one’s ability”…..

Even you should see and accept the flaw in that system, as you are likely upset about how social security won’t be there for you(Ha it was lucky it lasted 2 full generations).

Despite all your complaints and rantings, have you even considered what YOU can do to fix things….???

A proud Reagan Conservative,
(not a Neo-Fascist as most liberals believe)

Blackwell is an embarrassment to this state, this country and the human race in general.

And keep repeating your ‘free market’ mantras as more people keep getting thrown out of their homes and more brokerage houses and their well heeled fatcats keep getting bailed out by the taxpayers in this so-called FREE MARKET economy.

All the right can keep doing is keep shouting SOCIALIST! SOCIALIST! SOCIALIST! LIBERAL! LIBERAL! LIBERAL!

After awhile you show your ignorance of history and lack of human feeling. Ayn Rand is dead but Karl Marx is chuckling knowingly in his grave.

Proud liberal socialist.

do nothing, get nothing
do something, get something
do something greater, get greater rewards

that’s the pursuit of Happiness

life and liberty are also everyone’s responsibility…

I insure your life and liberty and expect you to do the same for me….

when did it stop being patriotic to believe in the ideals that created this country???

Brunner, whom Jill (this blogs hostess) supports, wants to scrap the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on electronic voting machines, instead of fixing the security of the systems

She would revert to paper ballots in paper boxes, when scanning these is flawed and will disenfranchise more voters (just look at the fiasco of March 4th, when too few paper ballots were available in key DEM districts (according to the lawsuits), yet these Boards of Election are managed by DEMS
and they have resources to insure paper ballots in excess of the number of voters for each polling place (granted, some GOP voters crossed over, since the GOP race was already decided, but will you fault Blackwell for providing a system for all voters to have a voice, or Brunner for forcing some counties to use paper ballots due to potential voting machine hacking, which I (as a tech wiz and also a presiding Judge at a polling place)can assure you would have to happen once the polls are open, and would require hardware installed into the machine, which would then register an error, and be removed from service….

I won’t vote for a woman or a black man, this fall, but that’s just because they have the wrong plan for our country’s future, not because of their race or gender.

We don’t have no stinking free market. We have a socialist system. Corporate socialism. And you, Mr. Blackwell, are one of the kingmakers of corporate socialism (remember Diebold and the voting machines).

Free market my foot. Adam Smith would shoot you dead on sight. And he’d be within his rights.

Can’t you just hear ole Kenny boy saying, “Adam who?”

Obama economics…read!

I think Blackwell is not really critiquing the content of the speach though…

“Barack Obama just gave an eloquent speech, but one that does not address the underlying nature of Senator Obama’s beliefs. Rev. Jeremiah Wright, like Mr. Obama, believes in a state-centered 21st century form of big-government socialism.”

Seems like he just used it (the speaches reference to Wright & Obama’s relationship) as a jumping off point.
