Do you ever get to the point where you are just fed up with the way that things are headed? There are times when it seems as if we are all stuck in some kind of horrific nightmare that we can’t wake up from. Day after day we get the privilege of watching our esteemed leaders down in Washington D.C. wreck the U.S. economy, push us towards socialism and globalism, and slowly erode our constitutional freedoms. Day after day we get the privilege of watching corruption and greed run wild down on Wall Street. Day after day those of us who are awake to what is going on find ourselves increasingly frustrated with the vast majority of Americans who are either too dazed, too drugged or too asleep to even care that the great nation that their forefathers built is in the process of crumbling all around them. Not that there aren’t some promising signs out there. Certainly Rand Paul’s recent victory in Kentucky shows that the American people are not automatically going to vote for the candidates backed by the establishment anymore. But it seems like every piece of good news these days is accompanied by a dozen news stories that are so bad that they make you want to scream. It is incredibly frustrating that tens of millions of Americans who bust their backs working incredibly long hours, who try to do what is right, and who truly do love their country are going to pay the price for the errors of a bunch of idiots down in Washington D.C. and New York. The America that so many of us grew up in love with (the once great Republic with the greatest free enterprise system in the world) is being strangled out of existence by a horde of globalists, socialists and elitists. Well, there are millions of us who are fed up. I am fed up. So today you are going to get an “editorial”. Actually what you are going to get is an old-fashioned rant. But the truth is that we live during times when ranting is appropriate. Feel free to express your agreement or disagreement with the various things I am going to rant about below. Hopefully if enough people start talking about these things, the American people will wake up and start taking their country back.
So exactly what am I fed up about?
I’m fed up with politicians in Washington D.C. who prance around and talk about what a good job they are doing while they pile up the biggest debt in the history of the world. We are stealing trillions of dollars from future generations, and if they get the chance they will curse us for the horrific debt that we have left them.
I’m fed up with an unelected, privately-owned central bank issuing and controlling the currency of the United States. Nobody but the U.S. government should be issuing U.S. dollars. The reality is that the Federal Reserve is about as “federal” as Federal Express is, and the international bankers have used it for decades to transfer the wealth of the nation into their own pockets.
I’m fed up with being told that the money I have worked so hard to earn needs to be “redistributed” to people who wouldn’t know a hard day of work if it came up and bit them on the rear.
I’m fed up with Tea Party activists who believe in the Constitution and who desperately want to see a return to the ideals that the American republic was founded upon being labeled as “extremists” by the media while those who are pushing a socialism and globalism on America are referred to as “centrist” and “mainstream”.
I’m fed up with hearing that there are banks that are “too big to fail” and that it is necessary for tax money taken from me to be used to bail them out.
I’m fed up with a financial system that is so rigged that four of the biggest U.S. banks (Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup) can have a “perfect quarter” with zero days of trading losses during the first quarter of 2010.
I’m fed up with a financial system where the Dow can plunge nearly 1000 points in a single hour and nobody can seem to be able to figure out what happened.
I’m fed up with being told that I need to reduce my “carbon footprint” when carbon dioxide does not cause global warming and over 95% of total carbon dioxide emissions would occur even if humans were not present on Earth.
I’m fed up with people telling me that we should be glad to pay all the new taxes in the “health care reform” law because socialized medicine is such a good idea.
I’m fed up with politicians that spend money in order to get votes without any concern for the financial future of this nation whatsoever.
I’m fed up with a government that can protect the South Korean border so well that not a single person gets through illegally for decades, and yet has done such a bad job of protecting our own border that Phoenix, Arizona has become the car theft capital of the world.
I’m fed up with yuppies who went out and bought McMansions that they could not possibly afford whining and crying now that they are losing their houses.
I’m fed up with politicians shipping our manufacturing base to the third world and then pretending that it is our fault when we can’t get jobs.
I’m fed up with people telling me how wonderful “free trade” and “the global economy” are while our once great manufacturing cities such as Detroit turn into rusted-out war zones.
I’m fed up with international organizations such as the IMF and the WHO telling us that they want the American people to start paying global taxes.
I’m fed up with politicians being treated like celebrities and rock stars when they are actually leading American right into the toilet.
I’m fed up with a Supreme Court that has absolutely no respect at all for the personal property rights of ordinary Americans.
I’m fed up with a government that insists that freakishly-altered genetically modified crops are good for us, and that allows companies like Monsanto to ruthlessly push these “Frankenfoods” on to dinner tables all across the United States.
I’m fed up with a public that is far more interested in the death of Michael Jackson and in what is going on with Jon & Kate than in the absolutely crucial economic and political issues that directly affect them and their families.
I’m fed up with a government that allows nearly a million innocent babies to be killed year in and year out.
I’m fed up with watching Wall Street bankers rake in record-setting bonuses while nearly 40 million Americans are on food stamps.
I’m fed up with a national debt that is impossible to pay off, a dollar that has lost over 95 percent of its value since the Federal Reserve was created and a financial system that is designed to fail.
If you don’t understand why the U.S. economic system is doomed, you should check out the video posted below. The inevitable collapse of the U.S. financial system is beautifully illustrated in this brand new documentary entitled “Meltup”. It is one of the best videos on the economic crisis that America is facing that has ever been posted on YouTube. This video is likely to make you very mad, but after watching it you will have a much greater understanding of the economic nightmare that the United States is now facing….
So are you fed up too? Please feel free to leave a comment telling us what you are upset about….
If you are part of the Wall Street establishment, the economic recovery is moving along quite well. Many of the biggest firms on Wall Street just handed out record-setting bonuses, the Stock Market has been moving up steadily and the DOW is back up to around 11,000. Profits at the top banks have been quite impressive lately. Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo combined for first quarter profits of $13.4 billion – the most in almost three years. Yes, life is quite good down on Wall Street these days. People are still buying fast cars, big yachts and homes in the Hamptons. It is almost as if “the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression” didn’t even happen. Things are quickly getting back to “normal” for the banking elite and to many it seems like there are a lot more smiles down on Wall Street than there have been in a long, long time.
Bank of America’s chief executive officer, Brian T. Moynihan, is being quoted by Reuters as saying that “the worst of the credit cycle is clearly behind us” and that the economic growth we are experiencing is “real”.
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon is quoted as saying that the U.S. economy may be poised for “a strong recovery”.
And why wouldn’t they say these things? Profits are up. Their stock portfolios are up. They are getting record bonuses. They know that if anything does go wrong again that their friends in Washington D.C. will bail them out because they are “too big to fail”.
But for tens of millions of other Americans, the economy seems like it is getting worse than ever. It is hard to explain the gut-wrenching agony that many highly-educated and highly-qualified American workers are going through as they send out hundreds of resumes only to get no response. Or the absolute frustration of only being able to get a very low paying retail job and realizing that it will not even be able to pay the mortgage – much less support an entire family. Or the soul-crushing despair of working two or three jobs and still not being able to pay the bills at the end of the month.
But these are the daily realities that millions of Americans must face now. The truth is that there are not nearly enough jobs for everyone. The number of unemployed Americans per job opening hit 5.5 in February. It is like we are all caught in some bizarre game of musical chairs, and the losers end up destitute and out in the street.
Even many of those who can get jobs find themselves in bad situations. Gallup’s underemployment measure hit 20.0% on March 15th. That was up from 19.7% two weeks earlier and 19.5% at the start of the year. A lot of very educated, very qualified people find themselves slaving away at jobs that high school students are qualified for.
But the ones being hurt the worst by this unemployment epidemic are the poor. Check out the following chart. At the end of 2009, the unemployment rate for those at the top end of the income scale in the United States was about 3%. For those at the bottom of the income scale, the unemployment rate was about 30%….
It isn’t the boys down on Wall Street that are losing their homes and their jobs.
No, they are “too big to fail”.
It is millions of ordinary Americans that are losing their homes and their jobs.
And things keep getting worse.
According to RealtyTrac, foreclosure filings were reported on 367,056 properties in the month of March. This was an increase of almost 19 percent from February, and it was the highest monthly total since RealtyTrac began issuing its report in January 2005.
Not only that, but RealtyTrac projects that there will be a total of 4.5 million home foreclosures by the end 2010. If you figure that there are approximately 4 people per household, that is another 18 million people that will be facing the pain of a foreclosure filing.
For many Americans, losing their home to foreclosure is just too much. For example, one man in Ohio actually decided to bulldoze his own home rather than let the bank take it in foreclosure proceedings.
Because of the extreme economic conditions, millions of Americans are in severe pain and are becoming increasingly desperate. In some of the most depressed areas, crime is absolutely spiralling out of control. So far this year in Detroit, car thefts are up 83%, robberies are up 50%, burglaries are up 20% and property destruction is up 42%.
Adding to all of this economic despair is the fact that food and gas prices are starting to shoot up.
In some areas of the United States, people are already paying as much as $3.50 for a gallon of gasoline, and many experts are now predicting that gasoline could hit $4.00 a gallon by the end of 2010.
So while the economic recovery is buzzing along quite well down on Wall Street, the reality is that for millions of other Americans things are really hard. In fact, not even the smaller banks are experiencing much of a recovery. The FDIC’s list of problem banks just hit a 17-year high.
No, the main beneficiaries of this “economic recovery” are the boys over on Wall Street. They should enjoy it while it lasts, because even harder economic times are on the way, and the reality is that none of us will be able to completely escape the economic pain that is coming.
Today financial power is being concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer individuals. In fact, the six biggest banks in the United States now possess assets equivalent to 60 percent of America’s gross national product. Back in the 1990s that figure was less than 20 percent. These six banks – Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo – literally dictate what goes on in the U.S. banking industry. These entities are the poster children for “too big to fail”, and they donate massive amounts of cash to the campaigns of both Republicans and Democrats to ensure that they will continue to receive favorable treatment. The vast majority of Americans have had a banking account, a credit card and/or a mortgage with one of these institutions at some point. If they acted in concert, these six banks could literally bring down the U.S. economy overnight if they wanted to. Together with the Federal Reserve, these six banks represent the real financial power in America. They are the 800 pound gorilla in the room that influences nearly every major financial deal that gets done and virtually every major political decision that gets made. As the last couple of years have demonstrated, top politicians from both parties (John McCain and Barack Obama for example) will instantly jump into action and start advocating that the U.S. government spend billions upon billions of dollars when the interests of these behemoths are threatened. The frightening thing is that the power of these megabanks is growing at a frightening pace. As dozens upon dozens of smaller U.S. banks are “allowed to fail”, they either go out of existence or the Feds actually encourage these smaller banks to sell themselves to one of the big sharks. In either event, the banking power in the United States becomes further consolidated in the hands of the megabanks.
Bill Moyers recently interviewed Simon Johnson and James Kwak, the authors of a new book entitled 13 Bankers: The Wall St. Takeover and the Next Financial Meltdown. During that interview Kwak described to Moyers just how explosive the growth of the power of these megabanks has been….
Bill Moyers: And you write that they control 60 percent of our gross national product?
James Kwak: They have assets equivalent to 60 percent of our gross national product. And to put this in perspective, in the mid-1990s, these six banks or their predecessors, since there have been a lot of mergers, had less than 20 percent. Their assets were less than 20 percent of the gross national product.
Does it alarm you that the banking elite have accumulated such a large amount of financial power?
It should. These institutions have the power to wreck entire economies. Just consider what happened in Greece lately. Now, it is being alleged that the megabanks are ripping off American cities with the same kinds of predatory deals that brought down the financial system in Greece.
The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it’s everywhere. The world’s most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.
Unfortunately, they may have actually been understating things a bit.
These megabanks have rigged the game so that the wealth of the nation is slowly transferred from us to themselves and to the international financial interests that control them.
They can make money if the markets are going up, and they can make money if the markets are going down.
For example, in a newly released email from the height of the housing crash, the CEO of Goldman Sachs bragged that his firm “made more than we lost” by betting against the housing market.
Thankfully the SEC is starting to look into the fraud that Goldman Sachs committed during this time period, but the truth is that Goldman is not likely to receive any more than a slap on the wrist for what it has done.
They are way too big, way too powerful and have too many friends in high places for them to get into any real trouble.
For example, it has come out that Barack Obama does not intend to return any of the campaign contributions that he received from Goldman Sachs. And surely they will be glad to continue to pour big money into his political coffers.
So where does that leave the rest of us?
Well, the rest of us can expect higher taxes and a lower standard of living according to the IMF. The IMF (which has deep connections to these megabanks) says that the party is “over” for nations that have been enjoying the good life. In a recent article, the Washington Post summarized the message that the IMF is trying to communicate through their recent policy papers….
To keep the global economy on track, people in the United States and the rest of the developed world need to work longer before retiring, pay higher taxes and expect less from government. And the cheap imports lining the shelves of mega-chains such as Wal-Mart and Target? They need to be more expensive.
So are you ready to work longer, pay higher taxes, expect less from government and have a lower standard of living?
That is what the IMF says we are all going to be facing in the years ahead.
We are all going to financially suffer as the megabanks continue to thrive and consolidate power.
When you watch the mainstream news, how often do you hear them identify the Federal Reserve as the ultimate source of all of our financial problems? Never? Well, there is a good reason. The Federal Reserve was created and continues to benefit the elite international bankers that are raping the United States blind financially. Many of the same financial powers own large interests in the 6 gigantic media companies that dominate U.S. mainstream media. So you won’t hear the truth from them. On this website we go on and on about how bad the U.S. national debt is. And it is really, really, really bad. But rarely do you hear from anyone who we owe all of this money to. Yeah, we owe large amounts to Japan and China and a bunch of other nations, but the biggest holder of our debt by far is the Federal Reserve. Just like the owner of your mortgage or your car loan, they expect to be paid back – with interest.
Now U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is warning that the U.S. national debt could balloon to more than 100% of GDP by the year 2020. For those familiar with national debt statistics, that is a very, very dangerous threshold to cross. Basically the United States is in debt up to its eyeballs and the debt continues to grow at an exponential rate.
The truth is that either alternative will slow down the U.S. economy and will reduce our standard of living, but this is the situation that we have gotten ourselves into.
And we have got to service that gigantic debt that we owe to the Federal Reserve (among others).
In fact, a whole lot of government officials are talking about taxes these days.
And not about lowering them.
Some administration officials are floating the idea of a national sales tax and others are openly discussing adopting a European-style “value-added” tax.
Any way that they can drain more money out of us sounds good to them.
In fact, members of Barack Obama’s “fiscal reform commission” say that higher taxes must be considered as a way to handle the U.S. government’s mounting debt problem.
Of course they could just stop wasting trillions of dollars, but apparently that is too hard.
And so where will all of these new taxes go?
To managing our colossal debt of course.
The truth is that we have locked generations of Americans into debt slavery.
We have piled up the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world, and our children and grandchildren will spend all of their lives trying to pay interest on it.
Haven’t we left them with such a wonderful legacy?
If you don’t understand who the Federal Reserve is or what they are doing to us, please watch the excellent 4 minute video below. It does a great job of introducing people to the rotten core at the center of the U.S. financial system. We encourage you to send this video out to as many of your friends and family as possible. Perhaps if there is a mass awakening, Americans can elect politicians that will shut down the Fed and will reclaim America’s financial destiny….
Is taking all of our money out of the big banks part of the solution to America’s financial problems? The truth is that people across the United States are angrier about financial and economic issues than they ever have been in modern history. It did not sit well with millions upon millions of hard working Americans to watch their tax dollars being used to fund multi-million dollar bonuses at big financial institutions that were just bailed out by the U.S. government. It made Americans even angrier when these big banks that got the bailouts actually decreased their lending. It has been the big banks who got the massive government-funded bailouts who have been hoarding their cash, while the local community banks and credit unions that have been serving their customers loyally for generations have been left to die by the feds. Now the banking industry in the United States is more centralized than ever. At the end of 2007, the “Big Four” U.S. banks – Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo – held 32 percent of all deposits in FDIC-insured institutions. As of June 30th of last year it was 39 percent.
So are we going to let the big banks swallow the whole pie or are we going to do something about it?
Well, there are some people who are doing something about it. Arianna Huffington and Rob Johnson of the Huffington Post have started “The Move Your Money Campaign” which calls on all Americans to take their money out of these big banks and put it into smaller community banks and credit unions.
So is it working? A recent Zogby Interactive poll found that 9% of all U.S. adults have already taken some of their business away from big banks as a protest.
The reality is that it is impossible to vote the bankers out of their positions. So if we want to change the banking system, perhaps the best way is to take our cash away from the bankers.
But will it work?
Are the big banks simply too big and too powerful to even be bothered by a protest of this nature?
Perhaps, but nothing great was ever accomplished by not trying.
When they began this campaign at the end of last year, Arianna Huffington and Rob Johnson described their reasoning this way….
The big banks on Wall Street, propped up by taxpayer money and government guarantees, have had a record year, making record profits while returning to the highly leveraged activities that brought our economy to the brink of disaster. In a slap in the face to taxpayers, they have also cut back on the money they are lending, even though the need to get credit flowing again was one of the main points used in selling the public the bank bailout. But since April, JP Morgan/Chase, Citibank, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo — all of which took billions in taxpayer money — have cut lending to businesses by $100 billion.
Meanwhile, America’s Main Street community banks — the vast majority of which avoided the banquet of greed and corruption that created the toxic economic swamp we are still fighting to get ourselves out of — are struggling. Many of them have closed down (or been taken over by the FDIC) over the last 12 months. The government policy of protecting the Too Big and Politically Connected to Fail is badly hurting the small banks, which are having a much harder time competing in the financial marketplace. As a result, a system which was already dangerously concentrated at the top has only become more so.
How else are we going to hold these bankers accountable? They have abused us and have abused the entire financial system, so they do not deserve our business any longer.
To promote The Move Your Money Campaign, filmmaker/author Eugene Jarecki produced the stirring YouTube video posted below. This video makes it exceedingly clear why we all need to start boycotting the big banks immediately…..
Please share this video with all of your friends and family. The reality is that the U.S. government has made it abundantly clear that the big banks are “too big to fail” and will always get bailed out, while all of the small banks and credit unions will be allowed to die and their assets will be divided up by the sharks.
If that does not sound like a good plan to you, then do something about it.
Pull your money out of the big banks.
Encourage your friends and family to do the same.
Otherwise the banking system of the United States will soon be concentrated in the hands of just a few and then we will all pay the price.
Is the Midwest about to see a massive wave of bank closings? That is apparently what the FDIC is expecting. The FDIC is opening up a massive new satellite office in the Chicago area that will be dedicated to managing receiverships and liquidating assets from failed Midwest banks. This new facility will occupy 7 floors in an 11 floor building. The office space that the FDIC is leasing is well over 100,000 square feet and will employ approximately 500 temporary employees and contractors. This is a huge expenditure by the FDIC. So will there really be so many bank failures over the next couple of years in the Midwest that a 100,000 square foot facility is required to deal with it?
Apparently someone at the FDIC thinks so.
But this is not the first time the FDIC has done something like this.
The FDIC has already opened similar offices in Irvine, California and Jacksonville, Florida. Each time, the number of bank failures in those states increased dramatically after the FDIC opened those facilities.
So what is going to cause such a massive wave of bank failures that the FDIC will need hundreds of new employees just to deal with it?
At the same time, a gigantic “second wave” of adjustable mortgages is scheduled to reset starting this year. This could push the U.S. economy into “part 2″ of the housing crisis. Just check out the chart below….
In fact, one new study has been released that estimates that 5 million houses and condominiums on which mortgages are now delinquent will go through foreclosure and be put on the market within the next few years.
Another devastating housing crisis would absolutely destroy the vast majority of small to mid-size banks in the United States. In such a scenario, the FDIC would definitely be able to make use of the new facilities that they are opening up around the United States.
There are even rumors that the big bankers do not intend for most small and mid-size bankers to survive the coming crisis. There are whispers that the big bankers see all of this economic turmoil as a great opportunity to “consolidate” the banking industry.
So what should you and your family do to get prepared? Get out of debt and get rid of any unnecessary expenses. Try to start developing alternate streams of income and come up with a plan for what you will do if you lose your job.
The reality is that hard times are coming and a lot of people are going to lose their homes and their jobs. Don’t just blindly trust “the system” – now is the time to make sure that you and your family will be prepared even if a total economic collapse happens.
The massive federal bailouts that Congress passed in 2008 and 2009 were supposed to stabilize the banking system and breathe new life into the U.S. economy. We were told over and over that the major banks were “too big too fail” and that the U.S. government was helping “Main Street” by giving massive bailouts to Wall Street. But unfortunately all that is not working out too well. Instead, the major banks (which got the bailouts) have cut their collective small business lending for the seventh month in a row while the feds are letting all the small banks die like dogs.
The truth is that the major Wall Street banks that had friends positioned in the U.S. government were able to get massive bailouts during the economic collapse of 2008/2009, but all of the small banks that have been so good to so many communities across the United States for so many years are not getting any help. In fact, there are rumors that they are purposely being allowed to fail. In 2009, 140 banks and S&Ls failed. In addition, 31 credit unions went under. So that makes a total of 171 lending institutions that were allowed to collapse in 2009. It is estimated that the bank failures during this financial crisis have already cost the FDIC ten times more than the entire S&L crisis of the 1980s did.
But the crisis is far from over. In fact, some analysts are now projecting that 200 banks will fail in the U.S. in 2010.
The FDIC is officially in the red and it is rapidly hemorrhaging cash and there is no sign that the bleeding is going to stop any time soon. Small banks are failing at a rate that is beyond alarming.
But do you know what they are being told when they turn to the U.S. government for help?
They are being told to go find a big bank that is willing to gobble them up.
In fact, there are persistent rumors that the banking system is being consolidated by design. So if that is the case, expect to see a lot more small banks continue to fail and get gobbled up by the sharks for pennies on the dollar.
Meanwhile, the big boys on Wall Street are being criticized for the gigantic year end bonuses that their top executives will be receiving.
Life is good if you are a bankster.
So are all of those big Wall Street banks helping out “Main Street” by lending to small businesses?
No way.
In fact, the biggest banks in the U.S. cut their collective small business lending balance by another $1 billion in November. That drop was the seventh monthly decline in a row.
The truth is that in modern America, small businesses are incredibly dependent on credit. For many small businesses, no credit means that they simply will not have the capital to operate.
But the big fat cats who got all of those bailouts have reduced their lending to small businesses each of the past seven months.
So, no, “Main Street” is not reaping the benefits of all of those bailouts.
Apparently the big banks needed to save up cash to pay all of those outrageous bonuses.
So all of the big banks are hoarding cash, and hundreds of small banks are being allowed to die like dogs.
If you are part of the Wall Street establishment, the economic recovery is moving along quite well. Many of the biggest firms on Wall Street just handed out record-setting bonuses, the Stock Market has been moving up steadily and the DOW is back up to around 11,000. Profits at the top banks have been quite impressive lately. Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo combined for first quarter profits of $13.4 billion – the most in almost three years. Yes, life is quite good down on Wall Street these days. People are still buying fast cars, big yachts and homes in the Hamptons. It is almost as if “the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression” didn’t even happen. Things are quickly getting back to “normal” for the banking elite and to many it seems like there are a lot more smiles down on Wall Street than there have been in a long, long time.
The massive federal bailouts that Congress passed in 2008 and 2009 were supposed to stabilize the banking system and breathe new life into the U.S. economy. We were told over and over that the major banks were “too big too fail” and that the U.S. government was helping “Main Street” by giving massive bailouts to Wall Street.

Instead, the major banks (which got the bailouts) have cut their collective small business lending for the seventh month in a row while the feds are letting all the small banks die like dogs.
Fed Up
So exactly what am I fed up about?
I’m fed up with politicians in Washington D.C. who prance around and talk about what a good job they are doing while they pile up the biggest debt in the history of the world. We are stealing trillions of dollars from future generations, and if they get the chance they will curse us for the horrific debt that we have left them.
I’m fed up with an unelected, privately-owned central bank issuing and controlling the currency of the United States. Nobody but the U.S. government should be issuing U.S. dollars.

I’m fed up with being told that the money I have worked so hard to earn needs to be “redistributed” to people who wouldn’t know a hard day of work if it came up and bit them on the rear.
I’m fed up with Tea Party activists who believe in the Constitution and who desperately want to see a return to the ideals that the American republic was founded upon being labeled as “extremists” by the media while those who are pushing a socialism and globalism on America are referred to as “centrist” and “mainstream”.
I’m fed up with anyone who suggests that it is a good idea for the government to get to look at an image of our naked bodies before we are allowed to get on an airplane.
I’m fed up with hearing that there are banks that are “too big to fail” and that it is necessary for tax money taken from me to be used to bail them out.
I’m fed up with a financial system that is so rigged that four of the biggest U.S. banks (Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup) can have a “perfect quarter” with zero days of trading losses during the first quarter of 2010.
I’m fed up with a financial system where the Dow can plunge nearly 1000 points in a single hour and nobody can seem to be able to figure out what happened.
I’m fed up with being told that I need to reduce my “carbon footprint” when carbon dioxide does not cause global warming and over 95% of total carbon dioxide emissions would occur even if humans were not present on Earth.
I’m fed up with people telling me that we should be glad to pay all the new taxes in the “health care reform” law because socialized medicine is such a good idea.
I’m fed up with the open manipulation of the gold and silver markets right under the noses of the federal government.
I’m fed up with politicians that spend money in order to get votes without any concern for the financial future of this nation whatsoever.
I’m fed up with a government that can protect the South Korean border so well that not a single person gets through illegally for decades, and yet has done such a bad job of protecting our own border that Phoenix, Arizona has become the car theft capital of the world.
I’m fed up with a government that is so embarrassed by the recent anti-illegal immigration law passed in Arizona that they apologize to the communist Chinese for it.
I’m fed up with yuppies who went out and bought McMansions that they could not possibly afford whining and crying now that they are losing their houses.
