Yoots

Watch your six. Be aware of what is happening in crowds…

It is happening everywhere….even in Milwaulkee

And it is getting worse. and more prevalent.

You expect this sort of thing to happen near the south side of Chicago and such…maybe Detroit or Philly…But Wisconsin?

And if it were white kids doing it to black people, the hue and cry from the MSM, Jesse Jackson and Mr Sharpton would be LOUD….But you don’t hear about this on CNN….

No matter who is doing it, it’s wrong. The fact that it is being covered up (or at least NOT reported) because of race is worse. 

Be careful in mixed crowds…

I’m just sayin’

P.S. If the above frightens you (and it should) then just wait until we run out of money and have to cut social programs……Better prepare and get yer mind wrapped around the thought early.

ETA: Linoge has some thoughts

Yep, that helped

We had to compromise on the budget battle in order to keep, among other things, the stock market from tanking…..

It closed down 500+points on Thursday. (down about 4%, which isn’t actually all that bad). Good thing we screwed the rest of the economy to save the Dow though….

With this rate of success (Stimulus bill, Tarp,  Q.E., etc) Obamacare is likely to give us all cancer in the first 3 months…..)

just a thought:

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and passed on … or we will spend our sunset years telling our children’s children what it was like in the United States when men were free.”
– Ronald Reagan

I am disgusted

By the posturing and bullshit that is being reported on (and apparently encouraged by) the press. The new meme: all the people they choose to show (“regular citizens”, and “random samples” from the Midwest…the “heart of Amerika”) are “glad for the compromise” and “relieved” and “tired of the wrangling”. Most were from middle sized cities and most were, unsurprisingly, women….

And we are letting the press push the agenda.

I really don’t care for the political theater. I only want to see our country not be broke. (and by broke, I mean not having additional credit, but rather actually able to meet it’s bills).

This bill is none of those things. it’s like a CANCER. And, BTW, part of the money comes from the expected end of the”Bush Tax Cuts”….Yep, they expect higher taxes to bring part of the debt under control.

I’d have rather seen the country “shut down”. Make real decisions. Make real choices. There would have been no need for default, but they could have stopped spending so much..We would not have been forced to leave our Social Security recipients on an ice floe…..

Instead, we get political theater, and at best punt the issue into the future…..So that the WON and his ilk can continue to whine about “fair share” and “sharing the burden” and all that other folderol.

Again, I won’t suggest anything like violence, because I really don’t want to have the visit from the Gestapo Secret Service….So I won’t suggest that we get our pitchforks, and torches and rifles and such.

But I can think about it….You should, perhaps, as well.

So there is a deal

of sorts in the “debt crisis”.  More or less, the Right caved. They did keep from raising taxes, it seems, and yet they got cuts that take effect AFTER the elections (or so reports at this stage are saying).

Fuck ’em. They negotiated everything away to the socialist Statist leftist Won “One”.

Yeah, they’ve slowed the increase in the deficit spending. So what?

Think of it this way…..You are falling from the Empire state building….you WERE falling at the rate of 20 floors per second…..Then you feel a uplififting wind….. Now your rate of descent is only 10 floors per second….Has your situation improved?

That is the state of our economy with this new “deal”.We re gonna end up like Greece, writ large.

I would never say that the legislators of this country should be stood up against a wall and shot….I don’t want to become the focus of an investigation by the Secret Service….So I won’t say it.
