Today, El Presidente Bush once again tried to calm the markets, saying that the economy will recover in the long run.
No fucking shit!
That's what markets do, you dumbass! I thought the $700 Billion economic bailout plan was supposed to fix things? You implied that if it wasn't passed by Congress, Armageddon was here! Now, even after the bailout, we need to have patience? If you just let the markets work (as they are working right now, correcting and causing the necessary pain), we would be right where we are right now, without mortgaging my and my daughter's future in the process.
And have you noticed, that whenever El Presidente speaks, the markets go monkey-shit crazy? He's had more press conferences in the past two weeks than in his entrie presidency (hyperbole intentional), all in an attempt to calm the markets and to try to control something that is uncontrollable. All it is doing is causing fear and doubt in the investing public and McCain's numbers to fall. Hey George, shut the fuck up and ride quietly off into the sunset, would ya?!
Do you know how Ronald Reagan responded to the stock market plunge in the 80's? He did nothing. He said "What goes up must come down" and spent the weekend relaxing at Camp David. Jesus, how refreshing that would be right now!
Now Bush is meeting with the French President at Camp David, and the French President is quoted in a story this morning:
"The world is confronted by the worst economic and financial crisis since the 1930s," Sarkozy was quoted as saying Friday to a Canadian meeting of French-speaking nations. "We need to reflect on the stakes, how we arrived here, who is responsible and what happened. We must draw lessons from it. The world must change.”
Michael Jackson is singing "We Are the World!" right now. The world must change? What the fuck does that mean? I'll tell you what I fear it means to most world leaders - One-World Government, Fascism, Socialism, Communism, and the End of Prosperity and Freedom as we know it!
I'll answer your questions, Frenchie (although I kind of like Sarkozy because he is a conservative):
What are the stakes? The Free-Market system, Capitalism, Prosperity, Economic Freedom and Liberty. All these things are under attack.
How did we arrive here? Liberalism. These Democrat and Republican fuckjobs that believed that it is every person's right and not privilege to own their own home, and enacted laws encouraging/blackmailing banks to lend to high-risk, subprime people, all with the express guarantee of the government sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The free market would've never allowed this to happen, because high-risk people would've been "redlined" right away!!!
The lesson: Don't fuck with Capitalism and the Free-Market to institute "fairness" or "social justice" or whatever other fucking utopian pipe-dream you motherfuckers dreamed up while high on acid in the 60's.
Just step aside and bring the fucking pain! You are in the process of enabling the worst among us to bring everyone else down with them!

Monkeys are Funny! The Hypocrisy of the Left
Some time ago, when I was taking guitar lessons from a far-left friend of mine, I noticed he had a rather offensive picture on his computer, set as his wallpaper. Needless to say, he his not my friend anymore for a variety of reasons, most of which don't deal with his politics at all. But as the years passed, and as we near the presidential election of Barack Obama versus John McCain (or in my case, versus Bob Barr), the image on my former friend's computer keeps coming back to me.
Here is the picture, or a variation of it, that can be found everywhere on the internet:
Oh, isn't it so funny! Bush looks like such a chimp! Man, Bush is just an idiot, isn't he? What a fool! What a moron! Hee hee! He's so stupid. He looks like a monkey! He IS nothing but a trained monkey!
Now, I've got my issues with the President - I believe he's basically destroyed the Republican Party, and has strayed so far from its conservative and constitutional principles that he might as well have joined the Democrat Party. But creating this collage is just plain wrong.
And I'll show you why.
My fellow liberals out there, so excited for hope and change, how does this picture make you feel:
It is the exact same picture as the one featuring Bush, but now features Barack Obama. I imagine that the same liberals, leftists and Democrats out there who laughed so hard at Bush being compared to a chimp, who pasted it on their computer wallpaper for all to see and snicker at, are now shocked. How dare you! How dare you compare Barack Obama to a monkey! You're a racist and bigot!
As I created this image, I felt awful. It isn't right. It's horrible. It isn't funny. And that's the whole point.
Comparing Bush to a monkey is funny. Comparing Obama to a monkey is horrible and racist.
That, my friends, is the hypocrisy of the left.

Master Bait and Switch!
Today, the Bush Administration announced that the federal government would be buying shares of nine largest banks and financial institutions in the country. The agreement assumes that when the stock market gets going again, and the credit starts flowing and the economy recovers, these banks will buy these shares back from the government.
El Presidente Bush said these drastic measures were "not intended to take over the free market but to preserve it."
Comrade Paulson said "We regret having to take these actions. Today's actions are not what we ever wanted to do -- but today's actions are what we must do to restore confidence to our financial system."
How stupid do these fuckers think we are?
This is a classic "bait and switch" isn't it? The major banks transfer the risk to the government (the government spending money it doesn't actually have), investors start buying shares due to the lower risk, the stock rises, and the banks buy the shares back again, presumably for the same price? And everything goes happily upward on its merry way?
Nothing changes! The magician puts the bird under the handkerchief, and "vola!" the bird disappears - or in this case it's a stinking pile of shit in the palm of his hand. Then, after washing his hands clean and receiving a rousing applause from the crowd, he goes backstage and retrieves the pile of shit from his pocket or his sleeve or wherever the hell he moved it via sleight of hand. The result is the same: the magician is holding a stinking pile of shit!
This country is going stupidly insane - cheer the magician on, dumbstruck crowd!
I'm not fooled.
