Proud to be an American? You should be ashamed!

Proud To Be American? You Should Be Ashamed
We have seen the largest looting operation in history perpetrated against The American People.

Over $5 trillion dollars in junk securities were marketed and sold. They had a real value of about $2 trillion dollars; the other $3 trillion, roughly, was pure fiction.

The banks created and sold these throughout the world, with the full knowledge and support of Congress, The Fed, and the banks themselves.

It was pure fraud.

Granting someone a "mortgage" based only on whether they can fog a mirror is proof positive of malfeasance, unless you disclose this fact to the buyers of these securities - a fact that was not disclosed until after the securities blew up.

Lenders, builders and others pressured appraisers to "hit the numbers" to support these fraudulent deals. Proof of that is found in the nearly-10-year-old Appraisers Petition bearing thousands of appraiser signatures.

That ratings were a "mistake", either real or intentional, is a matter of now-known historical fact.

Americans have sat on their butts through all of this, allowed their 401ks and IRAs to be trashed, their supposed "home values" to be pumped and then destroyed, and their hopes, dreams, employment and house have all vanished into the ether of fraud.

When this came to light the banks went to Congress, and supported by The Fed's intentional draining of liquidity to create an immediate "crisis", they got a $700 billion bailout bill passed - one that you, your children and grandchildren, will have to pay for.

The government then passed another near-trillion-dollar "stimulus" bill claimed to hold unemployment to 8%. It did not, because it was yet another "papering over" of the fraud, but that bill your children and grandchildren, along with you, will also pay.

Your savings accounts and CDs now yield an effective zero.

Your credit card interest rates have gone from 11% to 29%, all so that the banks can keep granting ill-advised credit to people who can't pay. Those who can pay - the rest of you - are being jacked for 30% a year in interest.

We have seen a few "tea parties" in which a few people showed up and which were immediately panned by "those in power" as "astroturf."

Contrast with this.

A few days ago, Iran held an election. It is alleged that there was massive fraud. The current President claimed victory under less-than-clear circumstances.

The people said "hell no!" in this sort of demonstration:



That's about 2 million people, out of 70 million population (roughly), or one in thirty-five Iranians in the entire nation who took to the streets to demand justice in a simple vote.

More strikingly, Tehran has a population of roughly 12 million; this means that one in six citizens of the city are standing in that crowd.

This, despite the fact that the government there has been shooting people, has arrested the opposition party and issued an order to burn the ballots so there can be no recount.

This, despite the fact that the Iranian population does not enjoy a Second Amendment, and thus is forced to fight a rogue government with makeshift molotov cocktails, rocks and clubs, should that rogue government choose to shoot.

And this was about an election. A President. One man.

In our nation we have literally had 1/3rd of our GDP - that is, 1/3rd of everything you worked for last year - stolen by a bunch of fraudsters with the explicit cooperation and assistance of the government.

We should be seeing 10 million Americans literally closing Washington DC with peaceful protest in the streets - making the entirety of the downtown inaccessible to vehicles and the normal conduct of business impossible, were Americans to display the same sort of anger over an insult vastly more serious than that served upon the Iranian people.

If one in six Americans had enough in America's big cities, there would be one million people in the Streets of Chicago - enough to fill Chicago's Loop from Lake Michigan to I-90/94 and from The Chicago River to beyond Soldier Field, rendering the city core impassable. (Roughly double the crowd that shows up for the 4th of July Fireworks, to put it in perspective. "Greater Chicagoland" has a population of ~7 million)

The same in NY City would result in a crowd of 3.3 million people.

Where are you America?

In America, if the government turns into a goon squad, you have the constitutionally-protected ability to shoot back. In Iran you have no such ability as the Iranian government has never recognized the unalienable rights as set forth in our Declaration.

So in Iran the population risks mass death to protest.

In America the population risks loss of some income since you'd have to cut work.

The Iranians take to the streets; we take to our couches and have another beer.

Grow a pair of balls America.

The people of Iran are putting us to shame.

PS: Those threats appear not to have been idle either:

This is how Socialism starts. Unfortunately, his supporters are either blind to this or they want it. And with the MSM solidly in his corner, he will have no problem getting us there. If the Republicans had either the House or the Senate, they could fight back. We need to impeach him. IMMEDIATELY.

Your soooooo right. Alot of people complain about what is going on in this country but don't do anything about it. Soon it will be toooooooo late I'm sad to say

Hey folks lets support a Democrat! He's serving currently as a rep for Florida. Have you sen him talking to the secretary general over the federal reserve. As I recall his question went un answer "do you know where that 2 TRILLION dollors went from October last year to now?" The secretary General said "well no but we have a committy looking into it though". OK that's just one office that needs a serious firing spree to clean house and then place a special investigator and prosicutor in charge and start dropping jobs to get to the bottom of this scam! His name was Alan Grayson http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2009/05/federal-reserve-inspector-general.html

I don't trust any of them anymore, unfortunately Dems and Repubs are the only parties that are officially recognized in Oklahoma, If you are registered as an Independent in Oklahoma, you can't even vote until the general election.

The only person I think that might make a run again ( for President ) is Ron Paul. He seems to be the only one that is

A. interested in the job of being President and

B. IS A CONSTITUTIONALIST ( which is my main goal for our next President)

My Senator of choice from Oklahoma, Tom Coburn, is running for the Senate again, but I don't believe he is interested in the job of POTUS.

There is 1 other guy that I would suggest. He knows Washington well, is well versed in foreign policy, is a fiscal conservative... Newt Gingrich. He is the smartest guy in the room in Washington, PLUS he is constantly railing against Obummer for circumventing the Constitution Who knows, maybe Newt will decide to step up to the plate. I would vote for him.

not only Iran but several countries in europe and even china, the people stand up and protest. I get sick about the average american. To think about my school mates killed; relative standing up to British for our freedom and what the Founding Fathers gave up. I am sick, sick, sick

Newt Gingrich is a known member of the CFR (arm of New World Order). If Ron does not run, I would go with Alan Keyes and/or Jesse V (prious governor and wresting); both are true Americans and really to FIGHT!!!!!

[Bill J. Spence]

Some one or some group that has lots of time and is/are very proficient on the computer should get all these people, groups, etc together and get behind someone or some party. Right now we are too fragmented and people like myself belong to most all of them......but we need to consolodate our efforts.
PLEASE...someone or some group.....step forward... I'm 77 years old and in bad health or I would attempt to do it.
God Bless America,
