                                                  by rickcosmos

OBSERVATION ONE: THE NUMBERS GAME...

       Glenn Beck claims that the national debt went from zero in 1891 to 6 trillion in 2002

to 12 trillion now. Let's enter the squared mathematical ring. FIRST OFF: WE SHOULD
HAVE LISTENED TO ROSS POIROT IN 1993! This contender claims that it reached 7

trillion by 2002 and rose by 3 trillion under President Bush by April 1 of this year (this is a peculiar fiscal year: it was split in two) and has risen by 2 trillion and counting over the last 9 Obama months due to his failed stimulus package (most of which wasn't stimulus), his cash-for clunkers program and Obama's government's partial and growing takeover of the financial sector and the auto industry (wherein Bush loans became virtual stocks) his continued refusal to capitalize on America's energy resources, his failure to lower the cooperate income tax, and

 his growing tax burden on small business. The deficit could reach 25 trillion by 2018 if

he gets energy reform (cap-and-trade) and healthcare reform his way! China will replace the

U.S. as the largest economic superpower while the U.S. is reduced to the economical/

financial status of a better off third world nation!

        While the economical/financial crisis was partly due to the deficit situation, it was

largely due to President Clinton, Senator Barney Frank, Acorn, the semi-independent agencies: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Federal Reserve Bank and the Securities and Exchange Commission. President Bush foresaw a looming economic/financial crisis triggered by the Housing/Mortgage Industry in 2004 and 2005 and tried to due something about

it through issuing executive orders to no avail. Acorn pressured Clintion into giving

mortgages to people with little or no credit beginning in 1998 (liberals think that the are

rights such as the right of a poor person to own a house in the Bill of Rights. Bush as a

compassionate conservative continued the program until he saw the light in 2004. Democrats

seized control of congress in 2006. He dispatched congressional Republican leaders to

the lovely democratic senator Frank whose committee was responsible for Fannie (how

appropriate!) and Freddie to do something about the high-risk mortgages being issued by

these agencies. He refused to do so. We now know that both semi-independent federal

agencies donated heavily to Frank's campaign's for many years (and Obama when he

ran for senator and president). This likely constitutes an unconstitutional act: semi-

independent FEDERAL agency. Bush knew that if the mortgage domino fell that it would

cause the commercial and investment bank, the Wall Street and major industry dominoes

to fall. Bush failed to make a big public issue out of the pending disaster back in 2004.

                                                   OBSERVATIONS

OBSERVATION TWO: SHOCKER: I AGREE WITH OBAMA

         The first time I agreed with him was in February and readers were beside themselves.

It only took nine months to agree with him again! Technically where talking about a

variation on the same theme. Back in February, (I was born in the best month of the year;

hint: it will be February again in three months - it happens every year) announced his support

of charter schools which are non-union ed public schools and quiet naturally bitterly opposed\d

by unions who are out to destroy America with the president's blessing. I guess that he

could afford to disagree with then one thing, after all, his economic strategy calls for

unions to destroy all businesses big and small!

                                              Education/Discipline/Budget

First Place: Private Schools (most of which are Christian schools,especially, the Catholic

variety (this writer had the misfortune of attending one);

Second Place: Home Schools and Charter Schools (fourth place: budget-wise and by way

of teachers salaries ( thanks to unions which highly restrict the number of charter schools

in a state because the have democrats in their pocket; it's amazing that there are any

at all - that situations might improve somewhat thanks to former President Bush's No-Child-

Left-Behind Program -  a failing regular public is put on probation for three years and if it

fails to make the grade is suppose to be converted into a public charter or magnet school

or risk loosing federal funding - -  it's not likely to happen now that democrats control

congress - - - they care more about the teacher's unions then they do about the children!).

Third Place: Magnet schools (third place when it comes to budgets and teacher's salaries;

though unionized, they enjoy a degree pf autonomy).

Last place: Regular Public Schools (second place: when it comes to budgets and salaries.

And, yet, liberals say that they need bigger budgets and larger teacher salaries. Why?

So that they can get worse! Public schools have shorn modest improvements thanks not

to throwing good money after bad but by his No-Child-Left-Behind Program which largely

prevents teacher's from issuing so-called social promotions to undeserving failing students

so that they don't look bad!

       Now, Obama has endorsed virtual academies which are sort of a charter school/

home schools combos( Unlike regular home schools where the parents have to foot the

bill for textbooks and other equipment - parents can purchase books of their own choosing or t purchase them from home school organizations which also assist  parents - at a price - in making certain that the children are educated and not indoctrinated into liberal philosophy; ADDed: Many blue states are trying to make them illigal because most home school parents are religious and a big part of their learning is in that subject - Obama and other liberals don't only want to control many banks, businesses,farms and the media but what you can drive and eat and what parents can teach in the privacy of their own homes) in which all textbooks and other equipment, including, computers are supplied by the government. The child is taught by teachers and parents; they have daytime and evening access to teachers via the

computer on the phone. The jury is still out: these schools haven't been around long and,

therefore, can't be accurately and fairly judged; I'm confident that they too will prove to be

superior to the over-budgeted and over-paid teachers in regular public schools (Liberal Lie:

they aren't paid enough - they, on average, make less then ten per cent less the policemen

and firemen and their benefit and retirement packages are as good as and, in some states

better, then crime fighters and fire fighters!

EXTRA: The clergy might not be allowed to teach what the Bible has to say about

homosexuality because of hate crime legislation passed by congress. Obama and

his fellow communists want to control what is taught in church too!!!

JUST FOR LAUGHS: Obma administration in a dizzy: global warming leveled off

over last ten years (actually, there was no real evidence for global warming in the first place)

and next month the world leaders are going to meet in order to discuss what to do

about global warming (excuse me, where not talking science: PC climate change). Is that

hoot or what!!!
