Larry Summers is one of the architects of the greatest financial collapse in modern history. That news agencies provide him with some credible forum for eschewing his fucked up opinions defies belief. Here is another fine story by Mr. Summers. Enjoy reading the comments. The commenters are far more intelligent than Ivy League idiot Summers. http://blogs.reuters.com/lawrencesummers/2011/10/24/to-fix-the-economy-fix-the-housing-market/ This captures the Keynesian thought process. We can spend our way out of debt. I am not shitting you. I stole this quote from Zerohedge, my online psychiatrist. Presented without commentary: " The central irony of financial crisis is that while it is caused by too much confidence, too much borrowing and lending and too much spending, it can only be resolved with more confidence, more borrowing and lending, and more spending ." - Larry Summers, source

Of all of the great finds Jim has had at the Conservatives on Fire blog- his best is perhaps the Bard of Murdock. The Bard captures the essence of complex issues and motives with just a few lines. Bard, I am truly jealous. Keep up the good work. http://www.thebardofmurdock.com/2011/10/democrat-plan.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheBardOfMurdock+%28The+Bard+Of+Murdock%29 The DemocrAt Plan Article link: Dems seek $1 trillion tax hike, $3 trillion deficit cut from supercommittee We’ll double-down on stimulus, And double-down on tax; We’ll hoist the massive spending cuts Upon our soldier’s backs. And when the rude Republicans Refuse to acquiesce, We’ll claim they are obstructing us, And blame them for the mess. And when we’ve done most everything To sow our disarray, We’ll watch the ratings agencies Award a single-A.

The liberals are starting to eat their own. That's what happens when you run out of other peoples' money. I can't think of a better place for this than California, a state chock full of moonbats, statists, and illegal aliens getting unemployment, going to school on the DREAM act, and shopping with food stamps. Here's the latest from Jerry.  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/10/27/california-gov-brown-to-seek-sweeping-pension-cuts/

You cannot make this shit up. Anyone that is this stupid cannot have health insurance because that implies that some profitable employer actually hired a guy like this. The only other remote possibility is that this man is some sort of retired politician. Severed limb man presented himself at the urology clinic because one of the symptoms of hacking your arm off in a home made guillotine- is pissing your pants. http://news.yahoo.com/police-wash-man-severed-own-arm-guillotine-235402689.html

Not only should the government stay the hell out of the farming business...like the housing business, the student loan business, or the car business...this is what happens when they don't.

Watching game 6 last night was unbelievable. The Cardinals down time and time again, simply would not go away. The only time they were up, in extra innings, was when they posted the final score, 10-9. Last night's game reminded me of that crazy 1975 World Series between Boston and Cincinnati. I watched as the winning home run ball landed on the grass just beyond the fence and some drunken fan rolled over it and stuck it down his pants. He eventually traded it back to the club. It was hard to ignore a couple of things that he said, but my favorite line was that he wasn't going to hold the nation hostage by hanging onto the ball. Wow. Like some rehearsed Oscar speech. Just a shade over dramatic. It wasn't like he had the cure for cancer or the answer to our national debt problem down there- by his junk. Clearly he was referring to the homer Barry Bonds hit that broke the all-time record held for many years by Hank Aaron. The fan that nabbed that ball kept it for awhile.

I would like you to read this link and ask yourself one question.  http://news.investors.com/Article/589665/201110271855/Holders-Right-To-Lie.htm What would it take to restore truth and the rule of law in America?  

Imagine falling asleep in the fall of 2008. You wake up three years later to find that the leaderless group exercise is still in full swing. Things have gotten worse. Americans are still out of work, deficits and debt continue to pile up and set records, it's like a bad dream you just can't get rid of. President Obama has captured the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest lame duck Presidency ever. Dating back to the late 1700's. So now this man who couldn't lead a group of Webelos on a tour of the local landfill is upset because someone allegedly characterized him by stating, "He was leading from behind." You know what pisses me off about that term? The suggestion that he can lead from anywhere. Here's the lame duck and the news story. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/cutline/white-house-criticizes-yorker-leading-behind-sourcing-204405935.html

A couple of days ago, I did a piece on the government losing 40 billion dollars cash. http://thecivillibertarian.blogspot.com/2011/10/government-completely-loses-40-billion.html Now in case you weren't confused enough by that blog and supporting news story- comes this masterful gem, courtesy of Yahoo! http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/envoy/once-feared-lost-now-accounted-iraq-inspector-says-153935856.html Today, this story states, they have found 6.6 billion worth of lost money which now they are claiming- was never lost in the first place. As you read the story, you cannot discern whether or not this money was part of the other missing 40 billion. Was this a separate payment? Was this story written to make headline readers think they found all of that missing money? I'll tell you this much. Whoever writes this crap needs to find a job wherein they can verify sources, corroborate sources, or be of some use to readers. That means you Laura Rozen. Really.

I am not kidding when I say- that we could take a bunch of third grade kids and make a more intelligent and effective government than the one we have now. Beyond a shadow of a doubt. Just for the record, I want to say that I hated the idea of a "Super Congress" or "Super Committee" for a couple of reasons. It is just another debt ceiling distraction. And like all things government, I keep a watchful eye on that latest incarnation of three card Monte. There is no constitutional provision for such an aberration as a "Super Congress." Secondly, shoveling the debt reduction dilemma to someone else is just another form of kicking the can down the road and not dealing with the problem. Thirdly, the super committee is no more intelligent or any less bi partisan than Congress as a whole. It simply allows the majority of congressional seat filler uppers to blame a minority stake. Hopefully they think, once we scatter the blame for austere cuts and tax hikes on

I have to be honest with you guys. I had hoped the economic apocalypse would be under way by now. Sadly, the world's central bankers have achieved a level of success few deemed possible. Not only can central bankers create a crisis and make it appear as though it was some black swan event, but new generations of people actually believe that shit. I am not even sure people are aware of the fact that the world is bankrupt and the world's banks- insolvent. Day after day, I read the european headlines. It has to be one of the greatest clusterfucks of all time. Truly. Bankrupt and sovereign countries, with differing cultures and values, each using the same currency and trying to bail each other out. It is a mess. All the while lying about the extent of their individual liabilities and pitching donor countries into some debt abyss from which they cannot escape. How long can this insanity continue? Who knows? By the year 2014, the United States will have three times more debt to

That is forty thousand million dollars. Vanished like a fart in the wind. They entrusted one man with it and now nearly 9 years later the government is trying to find it. The NYFED and Timmay shipped it. No kidding. This is the government that runs Fannie and Freddie, Sallie Mae, GM, and the Post Office. Apparently they guard 40 billion with the same level of intensity and vigilance as the grocery store down on the corner does it's recycling bins...ravaged each night by a long list of bums pushing shopping carts. I keep wondering when the government is going to start taxing these bums for operating their own businesses. Failing to file quarterly with holding or paying social security taxes. Tax evaders. This government is so fucking inept, it could not feed moose meat to a starving pack of wolves. Of course it begs the question, "What were the real reasons for shipping this dough?" Be sure and read all three pages. http://www.cnbc.com/id/45031100

It just never ends. We have a corrupt government that spends money it does not have and cannot pay back. Our politicians play banker with home and student loans. Like those types of expenditures have anything to do with funding the costs of government. Now Obama, in a desperate move to buy votes, is telling student loan holders he will restructure their debt and forgive some. In this country, responsible people are punished. People making poor decisions and wasting money on unusable degrees are rewarded. Can this get any more insane? Doubtful. Obama will use his "executive" power to do this. Is that the same "executive" power he uses to hire czars and circumvent Congressional oversight? What ever happened to that big Obama campaign promise about letting us use our 401k money without penalty? We earned that money. Punish the savers, reward the borrowers. One more lie. Issue a get out of jail free card for crooked bankers and screw the honest people that actua

It's like running red lights on motorcycles. You simply can't live long doing such things. I suppose, you can say, he packed a lot of living in that 30 years of his.

As a younger man, this is something I simply never thought about. As I got older and became embroiled in small town politics, this became so apparent that it was almost overwhelming. Yet, I still did not understand it until it was too late. I understand it now. Many people do not even understand what a true narcissist is. It's hardly just about beauty. Call it a self absorbed, unconscious superiority complex. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism I would not consciously think about this or the ramifications of extreme narcissism until my 47th year. I should also tell you that I have some narcissistic traits of my own which I am aware of on a conscious level and which the author of this piece says is quite normal. Unfortunately, it would take 47 years before I could identify and yield to that insanity. This is a good read and very appropriate given the question I have asked.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/scott-barry-kaufman/do-narcissists-know-they-_b_840894.html On a person

It is absolutely amazing. The world's criminal class, the bankers, are still trying to plunge the world into more bailouts and debt. Still trying to cling to power. The one trillion dollar plus euro bailout is on the German docket for Wednesday. So how will it go? My first instinct is that the bankers will buy the vote. But then I think, Germany would be completely out of their collective minds to fall for that shit. They will be exposed to that euro debt vortex. At least they can vote on it- in a free country. We didn't have that opportunity here- We got it stuck up our ass by the unelected and uncontrolled FED, the banker owned Congress, and that criminal Hank Paulson. To this very day, I have been unable to locate the law that allowed Congress to steal taxpayer money and deliver it to private banks. Or GM. Or Chrysler. I'll tell you how crazy some of us are. Some of us actually think that taxpayer money should only be used to fund the costs of government. How's

A mainstream media snip. (dig those last two tough guy lines) Saif Al-Islam Gadhafi, the London-educated son who was to succeed his father and carry on the dynasty is possibly still at large. Libya's interim government had said he was captured this weekend, but at the very same time the 39-year-old appeared on Syrian television. "We continue our resistance. I'm in Libya, alive, free and intend to go to the very end and exact revenge," Saif Al-Islam Gadhafi was heard saying on Syrian TV. "I say go to hell, you rats and NATO behind you. This is our country, we live in it, and we die in it and we are continuing the struggle."  Pretty tough talk from a guy who claims to live in Libya, now hiding in Syria. I am always amazed at that level of unconsciousness. It defies comprehension. You see, it's all right for Pops to run around killing thousands of people and stealing billions of dollars- perhaps gleefully cheering an airplane bomb which indiscrim

Every once in awhile, I find myself in the position of having to explain to the unconscious how the world tends to operate. Some folks think they can say anything they want to- without consequences. http://money.cnn.com/2011/10/24/news/international/wikileaks_funding.cnnw/index.htm?iid=A_BN_News Dear Julian; In life, when we step on peoples' toes, they tend to get a little pissed. They retaliate. This craziness, as you see it, is actually quite normal and fair. Predictable, even. Therefore, most of us have learned to cover our bases before we start speaking the truth about things. I learned this lesson at a very young age at someone else's expense. Please allow me to explain. As a police officer, I responded to a very serious bar fight one night where a man had been seriously injured. Nobody would tell me who was responsible for the man's injuries. I knew the suspect(s) were still there which was rather unbelievable. At any rate, one guy identified the suspects and sa

After a half century, I cannot understand for the life of me, why this country is so fractured. Why can't we seem to agree on anything? It is very difficult to pinpoint the proximate causes of the death of our Republic. Just look at the Occupy Wall Street crowd. Oddly enough, I have been trying to find a stated purpose and objective for that demonstration. What is the goal? Have they forgotten who makes the laws that Wall St. exploited? I have read derisive comments, seen the demonstrators verbally attacked and their characters assassinated. We have become very good at fracturing ourselves. We are on the precipice, the verge, of losing the greatest Republic ever conceived. This did not come about overnight. This came as a result of the apathy and ignorance of our citizenry. That might include you and it certainly includes me. In fact, up until 2007, I was just as apathetic as anyone else. It was Hank Paulson's hijacking of nearly a trillion dollars without any discussio

Who is that nut job? That guy who hates foreign wars? Yea, Ron Paul. Maybe, just maybe, he knows what he is talking about. After fighting in Afghanistan for 10 years, this is what Mr. Karzai had to say about supporting America in a war with Pakistan. He doesn't.  http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503543_162-20124224-503543/karzai-afghans-would-side-with-pakistan-in-war/ That is gratitude of the non immense variety. America's longest war ever, now scheduled for 13 years. No shit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Afghanistan_%282001%E2%80%93present%29

I spent last weekend reading the Quran on line. Yea I know, you had to watch paint dry. Here's the deal. Muslims are nuts. Your President has a Muslim lean and Muslims are taking over the world. It's time you school yourself on their beliefs. Once you do that, you will understand why they are fanatics. The Quran is all about fear, control, obedience, and punishment. It has nothing to do with an evolved higher power. But it sure sounds a lot like the same old ego driven human lunacy. Not only does this book scare the shit out of me- but it has a giant fanatical following of idiots. This work of fiction even predicts infidels like me and it really sets the stage and tone for a future horrific clash. It's time we call this book what it is. Trash. The next time some idiot is defending the Quran, ask them if they've read it. If they haven't, end the discussion.   Trust me when I say this. If the Quran is the word of God, we'd be better off without God. I mean t

The subtitle captures it all. Perfect. Historic meeting between an evil, lying dictator...and Gaddafi.
