Happy Easter!

Please have a wonderful day. We will resume watching the nut jobs that masquerade around as our leaders tomorrow. Today, should be reserved for far more important things.

We The People

I am very careful to compartmentalize my government and political views from my personal life. In other words, I rarely allow them to mix.

When I began this blog a few years ago, I very nearly named it "We the People" and maybe I should have. What I never considered calling it was "We the Republicans", or "We the Democrats." I didn't consider calling it "We the Conservatives" or "We the Liberals." 

Why? These labels are the reasons we fight and argue. Those labels are no longer useful. In fact, no brand or flavor of politics should ever be allowed to trump common sense. The Constitution starts with the ultimate definition of power and common sense. It says...

"We the people"

We the people are supposed to be in control. Not democrats, not republicans. Not Bush, not Obama, and certainly not the Federal Reserve. We let these usurpers take our inherent power. They used partisan politics to distract us and now they think they are in control. They have succeeded in dividing us into two warring philosophies. Divide and conquer. That strategy has been working for thousands of years. On liberal blogs, on conservative blogs. Gawd these warring factions waste valuable time hating on each other- while we the people pay for it.

Please note the sub title of my blog. That philosophy has never changed.

How long will this bipartisanship warring last? Until it can no longer last. That time approaches quickly.

People hate and fear politics because two political parties have succeeded by dividing this country into two philosophical camps. They have distracted us just long enough to steal our strength and power. I pray there will come a day when "We the people" figure this out. When "We the people" take our power back from conservatives and liberals, democrats and republicans.

We the people can no longer accept or tolerate poor performance, regardless of the flavor or color. The next time someone asks you what party (or what philosophy) you belong to...tell them you belong to the only party that matters. We the people.

Thinking I should put this photo of me on the profile page. Maybe one of those dating sites. Or on the bulletin board at Wal Mart.

We're the Government- We View the Law As a Suggestion When We Are Concerned

Here's the problem in a nut shell. The treasury has to auction off 99 billion dollars in debt next week. That amount of debt will take us 4 billion dollars beyond the legal debt ceiling. Who forces the government to adhere to it's own rules, laws, or debt ceilings?

Nobody, of course.

As I Lay Dying on Good Thursday

I got some nasty bug on Monday. I've been sick as hell all week. The good news is that retired guys don't have to call in sick.

Every morning, I get up and turn CNBC on so that I can hear the latest glass "half full" spin from the media and our politboro. So today I was not shocked to see that Komrade Obama tried to suppress the Standard and Poor's report and downgrade of our 14.3 trillion debt last week. That is the same modus operandi he uses when he is asked for birth certificates, school transcripts, or passports.

I turn on CNBC to see the price of gold and silver. You see gold and silver prices reflect the worldwide village. One big collective voice that says "fuck you" to central bankers, fiat currency, a world that has been monopolized by central bankers, the dollar, lies, and inflation. Say what you will about China's government, but they encourage their citizens to buy gold and silver.

So I am not shocked to see gold and silver making new highs every day. The world is buying gold and silver, the dollar is toast (trading below 74.50) and we haven't even seen the big inflation yet nor has our FED controlled government announced QE3 which they will have to. At that moment, gold and silver will go parabolic. I still see 2000 gold and 75-100 silver by years end. There will be dips and pullbacks.  It won't be straight up, but there is simply nothing materializing politically to change my view.

For years, I was a practicing agnostic. I simply could not get my arms around Christianity. Like I had been left behind or something. That all changed for me about 3 years ago. It is Easter weekend. Today I woke up, sick as hell, gray hair sticking up everywhere, gut poking out. I looked in the mirror and asked, "Is this the greatest power in the universe?"

Thankfully, for all of us, I can answer no. All men should know the answer to that question. Most don't. Don't tease the unconscious. Just buy a little silver and gold and put together a plan. If you are counting on these "masters of the universe" in D.C. to save you- well, good luck with that.

Obama's "Job Czar" Is So Wrong On So Many Levels

The other day, I was looking at appliances at Home Despot. I damn sure won't buy any with the GE label on them.

I am no fan of GE. Like every other greedy corporation- they threw American workers out with the bathwater. GE still owns a huge piece of NBC and CNBC. And I am truly sick of listening to those bastards putting lipstick on this pig of an economy and waxing poetic. I turn CNBC on to see daily trading information. I ignore every piece of commentary. I think Mark Haines and Steve Liesman are two of the biggest idiots on TV.

That Obama would select GE CEO Immelt as his jobs czar is interesting. That Immelt promised to buy government owned GM Volts for GE is fascinating. Mr. Obama essentially bought a network of his own with that single czar appointment. Cleverly done just before the campaign grind. This while GE is outsourcing American jobs. What a ridiculous contradiction. Obama's decision has a lot more to do with buying campaign support than it does with creating American jobs. This is just so wrong on so many levels. http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110419/bs_yblog_thelookout/with-jobs-czar-under-fire-new-data-confirm-offshoring-trend
