Oh...like Global Warming..Climate Change and the rest...right?


The current Democratic party has lost its ideological basis for
existence.
- It is NOT fiscally responsible.
- It is NOT ethically honorable.
- It has started wars based on lies.
- It does not support the well-being of americans - only billionaires.
- It has suppresed constitutional guaranteed liberties.

neither you nor anyone else knows who/what they're coming for, or if they're

Don't knock it. When you stir up the gun nutz' nest, they leave the hive and
buy, buy, buy guns and ammo. This can only be good for the economy.

It's better to have them spending money on manufactured goods, rather than
more imported gasoline for their 12 mpg pickup trucks.

Btw...see this?

Walter Russell Mead

http://blogs.the-american-interest.c...r-for-the-gop/

What makes this book important is WHO is saying it: a business reporter
for the liberal New York Times.”

Fanniegate: Gamechanger For The GOP?
Walter Russell Mead

Democrats, watch out.

The Republican Party and especially its Tea Party wing have just
acquired a new weapon of mass destruction — and it has nothing to do
with any of Congressman Wiener’s rogue body parts. If they deploy this
weapon effectively in the next election cycle — a big if — then they
have the biggest opportunity to move the country rightward since Ronald
Reagan took the oath of office back in 1981.

The Tea Party WMD stockpile is currently stored in book form: Reckless
Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to
Economic Armageddon. By Gretchen Morgenson, one of America’s best
business journalists who is currently at The New York Times, and noted
financial analyst Joshua Rosner, Reckless Endangerment gives the best
available account of how the growing chaos in the mortgage and personal
finance markets and the rampant bundling of dubious loans into
exotically toxic securities plunged the world, and millions of American
families, into the gravest financial crisis since World War Two. It is
gripping reading as well, and its explanations are clear enough that
readers without any background in finance will have no trouble following
the plot. The villains? An unholy alliance between Wall Street, the
Democratic establishment, community organizing groups like ACORN and La
Raza, and politicians like Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi and Henry
Cisneros. (Frank got a cushy job for a lover, Pelosi got a job and
layoff protection for a son, Cisneros apparently got a license to mint
money bilking Mexican-Americans of their life savings in cheesy housing
developments.)


If the GOP can make this narrative mainstream, and put this picture into
the heads of voters nationwide, the Democrats are toast. The party will
have to reinvent itself (or as often happens in American politics, be
rescued by equally stupid Republican missteps) before it can flourish.
If Morgenstern and Rosner are to be believed, the American dream didn’t
die of old age; it was murdered and most of the fingerprints on the
corpse come from Democratic insiders. Democratic power brokers stoked
the housing bubble and turned a blind eye to the increasingly rampant
corruption and incompetence at Fannie Mae and the associated predatory
lenders who sheltered under its umbrella; core Democratic ideas may well
be at fault.

This is catnip to Republicans, arsenic to Dems. If Morgenson and Rosner
are right, there is someone the American people can blame for our
current economic woes and it is exactly the cast of characters that a
lot of Americans love to hate. Big government, affirmative action and
influence peddling among Democratic insiders came within inches of
smashing the US economy.

The Morgenson/Rosner story is a simple and easily grasped one. It is
made for campaign ads. The Great Villain, the man who almost ruined
America according to the book, is James Johnson, long one of the most
important members of the Democratic establishment. He ran Walter
Mondale’s campaign. He chaired John Kerry’s search for a vice-president
— the brilliantly executed search that chose the revered anti-poverty
warrior John Edwards.

Barack Obama, impressed by this track record of discernment, reportedly
asked him to lead Obama’s search in 2008 — though Johnson withdrew when
word got out that he benefited from the disgraced and disgusting Angelo
Mozilo’s corrupt program of ‘special’ mortgages for political friends.
(Mozilo was the head of Countrywide, a massively fraudulent and
predatory lender which benefited hugely from its business connections
with Fannie Mae.) He is a director of the much hated Goldman Sachs, a
former director of Lehman Brothers, has chaired the board of the
Brookings Institution, is a major Democratic Party fundraiser who
bundled several hundred thousand dollars for President Obama, helped
bring old Clinton friends into the Obama organization, and has been at
the center of Democratic finance and politics for a generation.
Named CEO of Fannie Mae (a government backed mortgage corporation)
Johnson decided to make untold wealth by making and securitizing junk
housing loans and by massaging the financial reports to ensure that he
qualified for the obscenely generous maximum bonus no matter what was
actually happening to the company under his care.

Fannie Mae, a historically staid and predictable government linked
company, needed to turn into a cutting edge speculative growth engine to
make the hundreds of millions Johnson wanted. Since taxpayers stand
behind Fannie Mae’s debts, Johnson needed to get the politicians to back
his desire to turn this milkwagon into a Porsche. Fortunately for him —
and unfortunately for the country and the world — he found a way.
Fannie Mae would adopt the goal of increasing the percentage of
Americans who owned their own homes, targeting the inner city poor who,
allegedly, were blocked from home ownership by racial discrimination. (A
bogus study to this effect was widely circulated; devastating criticisms
and rebuttals quietly ignored.) This is where such luminaries of the
American political scene as ACORN and La Raza get into the act. They
served as cheerleaders for Johnson’s self-enrichment plan, camouflaging
a Wall Street rip-off by hymning its benefits for the poor.

The purpose of no doc, no money down loans wasn’t, Heaven forbid, to
generate rich fees and high interest rates for mortgage brokers and Wall
Street. No, the smarmy defenders of the Great American Rip-off told us,
those features were necessary to make sure that poor people (so cruelly,
unfairly locked out of mortgages because they didn’t qualify for the
stuffy old-fashioned kind) could participate in the American Dream.
Anybody who opposed Jim Johnson’s get rich scheme was a racist who hated
the poor. Political correctness married Wall Street chicanery as Maxine
Waters, Chris Dodd and Barney Frank led the band; crooked accountants
and clueless rating agencies performed the ceremony; big government
dowered the couple with a debt guarantee and bankers dressed as flower
girls showered the happy pair in a confetti of junk mortgages and junk
bonds.

Fannie Mae and the housing market were off to the races — and where
Fannie Mae led the way, the financial markets followed. Regulators were
captured by the interests they were supposed to regulate; favors were
dispensed with a lavish hand; taxpayer-provided money was used to
assemble a vast lobby focused on extracting more money from hapless
taxpayers to make James Johnson even richer. In the process, millions of
financially unsophisticated low income people were stuck with obscenely
unfair mortgages, honest whistle blowers were subjected to savage
personal attacks, home prices lost all touch with reality, taxpayers
were stuck with losses that may approach one trillion dollars, and
financial markets were poisoned almost beyond repair.


But there’s a bright side. Mondale-Kerry-Obama confidant Johnson made a
boatload of money, and Fannie Mae was able to pay many of his personal
bills — at least until it went broke.
That at least is the story of Reckless Endangerment. No doubt Johnson’s
memoirs will tell the story in a different way. The housing bubble and
the financial market meltdown were very complex phenomena, many cooks
were required to spoil this broth and the arguments over what caused the
crash may never end.

Truth is one thing; politics is another. Politically, this story is a
killer app for the GOP. It demonizes Dems, lends itself to attack ads,
divides Democrats between their Wall Street and union bases, and
combines GOP hate figures in ways calculated to unify the GOP and
heighten the intensity of the faithful.

The story illustrates everything the Tea Party thinks about the corrupt
Washington establishment and the evils of big government. It
demonstrates the limits on the ability of government programs to help
the poor. It converts a complicated economic story into a simple
morality play — with Dems as the villain. It allows Republicans to
capitalize on public fury at the country’s economic problems. It links
the Democrats to Wall Street — the one part of the private sector that
the Republican base loathes. It exposes that mix of incompetence and
arrogance that is the hallmark of the modern American liberal
establishment and links this condescending cluelessness to the real
problems of real American families. It links President Obama (through
appointments, associations and friendships) with the worst elements of
the Clinton legacy and it blunts some key Democratic talking points.
The story can also be a devastating wedge issue. The Democratic Party
today is a fragile coalition of elite liberals, traditionally Democratic
ethnic blue collar whites, African Americans and Hispanics. The Fannie
Mae story is essentially a story of how liberal Wall Streeters raped
every one else — and how the organized leadership of the other groups
colluded in the attack. Hammering this picture home will demoralize and
divide the Democratic Party, reducing enthusiasm among minorities and
pulling swing white ethnic votes toward the GOP.

The story builds GOP unity even as it divides the Democrats, allowing
GOP populists and establishment figures to find some common ground. For
one thing, it builds the idea that Wall Street is a liberal Democratic
institution rather than a conservative Republican one. In fact, Wall
Street is in love with power and cuts deals with whoever can make them,
but for years Democrats have prospered by making running on Franklin D.
Roosevelt’s platform against ‘the malefactors of great wealth’. There
are many powerful Wall Street figures who are closely linked to the
Democrats, however, and the James Johnson story puts a face on that
alliance. Socially and culturally, most of Wall Street stands closer to
the Democratic establishment than to the Republican Party these days;
linking the Democrats to Wall Street, teacher unions and race hustlers
is an easy and compelling way to push the Democrats closer to the cliff
even as it allows GOP candidates to lace their speeches with populist
anti-Wall Street rhetoric without embracing anti-business policy.
The story doesn’t just attack a failure of Democratic policy execution;
it exposes a key flaw in New Democratic thinking. The Third Way as
dreamed up by Bill Clinton and Tony Blair sought to harness the power of
financial markets to a public service agenda. Old style command and
control liberalism believed in directly mandating business to do what
politicians thought should be done. AT&T had to serve rural communities,
but in exchange it had a phone monopoly and regulators made sure that it
made a good profit. The airlines and bus companies had to service
unprofitable routes, but regulators made sure that their route networks
as a whole were profitable.

As competition became more global and the inflexible regulations of the
old liberalism proved less workable, a new and updated liberalism
appeared. Instead of old fashioned mandates, liberals would use new
approaches that capitalized on the power of the market. Use cap and
trade schemes rather than command and control to control carbon through
the market — and by creating an international market that will make
money for financial firms. Tweak the mortgage regulations to spread home
ownership to the poor. Both Britain and the US are looking at fun new
ideas like ‘infrastructure banks’ that can fund projects that liberals
like without putting large new debts on the public accounts. Private
profits can grow even as the public interest is served: this was the
Clinton-Blair dream that was billed as liberalism’s response to the
Thatcher revolution. Additionally, liberal politicians like Al Gore and
James Johnson were well placed to capitalize on the new arrangements.
Bill Clinton and Tony Blair have both become much wealthier after
leaving office than old style liberals like Harry Truman ever could.
The story also undercuts what little is left of the credibility and the
moral authority of the American establishment. What is especially
shocking in this story is that the higher up and more powerful people
are usually the most venal and corrupt. Low level researchers and
bureaucrats are constantly raising questions and preparing devastating
reports that expose the flawed premises behind Fannie Mae’s policies.
They are being constantly slapped down by the well connected and the
well paid. The American establishment does not have the necessary moral
strength and intellectual acuity to run the affairs of this country; Tea
Party believers will find much in this book that confirms their worst
fears.

Republicans of course have a few financial scandals of their own that
Democrats can take out and rattle. But because Fanniegate offers a clear
storyline, identifiable villains linked to specific disasters that have
hit tens of millions of Americans in the pocketbook, and is overwhelming
a story of Democratic abuses of Democratic ideas, it is potentially a
game changing event. It is also an issue that a GOP candidate for the
nomination can use to break away from the field; it is an issue a
contender could ride all the way to the White House.

Paul Krugman once told me that he thought that Enron would have a
greater impact on American politics than 9/11. He was wrong about that
scandal, but if the GOP plays its cards right, Fanniegate could push
this country into a new political era.


The current Democratic party has lost its ideological basis for
existence.
- It is NOT fiscally responsible.
- It is NOT ethically honorable.
- It has started wars based on lies.
- It does not support the well-being of americans - only billionaires.
- It has suppresed constitutional guaranteed liberties.
- It has foisted a liar as president upon America.
- It has violated US national sovereignty in trade treaties.
- It has refused to enforce the national borders.

Tell us what's "polite" about this, just from the last hour:

"...[Democrats] don't ever expect or demand a man of real honor to ever
obtain public office. Their low expectations are then easily met by any
leftist seeking public office. Obama's not the problem, he's just a symptom
of how low the Leftists will go."

"....and the rest of the immoral Leftist agenda."

There's intentional provocation and childish demonizing in one gratuitous
post from Tawwwm. All Democrats, roughly half of the citizens of this
country, are "leftists" to Tawwwwwwm, and they're all "immoral," with no
"honor." And he wasn't even trying.

You can let it go, letting him, and Gunner, and the other bullies run
roughshod, polluting the atmosphere with their venom, or you can give it
back to them when they start getting too loose with their insults, and
restore some balance. They seem to be worse when no one fires back, and they
start to think they can just get away with anything they please.

Tawwwwm obviously is someone who's used to getting his way -- it seems to be
a personality trait of his -- and he goes off on rants when someone objects
to his insults. He's done that with me as well as with others.

If you prefer to let it go, so be it. I don't.

Yes, I recognize that as a problem. It's hard to avoid. I'll try to do
better. Just this past week, I restrained myself from shoving some of
Gunner's links back in his face, because he obviously didn't read the cites
he was using to put other people down.

See? I'm on the right path. d8-)

Or net cop?

You are only adding to the to the pollution, you know?

KILL FILE 'EM, and move on....
'Sorry about that, Richard. Bullies have always had a hard time with me,
if they give me a hard time first. And that's the case here.

I understand, Ed. I have the same problem.
I can't stand a bully either.
But I don't let my weaknesses rule my life!

The other point here is that you are starting to look like the bully....


Yes, I recognize that as a problem. It's hard to avoid. I'll try to do
better. Just this past week, I restrained myself from shoving some of
Gunner's links back in his face, because he obviously didn't read the cites
he was using to put other people down.

See? I'm on the right path. d8-)


Yes Grasshopper, that is indeed the right path.
If they won't listen, you can't teach them.
