Let's face it folks, greed started when the money dried up in the stock market in early 2000, when Bush took over. The only place for that money to go was real estate. Banks went with the speculative markets all the way down to the only way they could reap in the harvest-new construction and homes for the risky buyer. The boom was so good that no one listened to the warning signs. I am not blaming people....because they could afford homes that were out of their range with record the low interest rates. Creative mortgages, energy price increases, new assessments and job cuts helped seize the engine. Many factors other than stupidity made this happen...and to blame democrats for this mess is really stupid. Bush and his financial cronies only had the housing boom to brag about...everything else was a failure....but now everything about him turned out a failure. Yes, we now have absolute power, we didn't have that before...so quit your complaining and watch us fix this stinking mess.

S. Lewis always reminds me that we need experts in every field to work those fields, and that preachers aren't much good at fixing your car or developing treatments for adult onset diabetes or diagnosing your computer's hard drive. This is a matter of basic principles guiding complex actions in many disciplines, and the Bible gives us the principles (eighth commandment, anyone?) but not the specific guidance to, say, "get rid of the Fed".

Another comment - why all the emphasis from the speakers at the Tulsa event on what the Bible says and how we can be good christians if we get rid of the Fed? I'm a christian, but I think this movement should be a very big tent one. There are lots of very good secular reasons to oppose this stimulus plan and this budget.

I counted up to a little less than 300 at one count, but many were coming and going, so it might top out at 450 if you stayed there the whole time. Tulsans are doers, not talkers. It is hard to get that many together for anything, except a gun show or basketball game. One thing about the count is it includes at least 50 TV, media, AM radio types and politicians. It is interesting that this many even knew about the tea party. It was totally ignored in advance by our local TV broadcast stations (ex fox). But that didn't keep them from trying to cash in. This was all promoted by AM radio and the net. The Old Country Girl was amazed at the originality of some of the placards. Many of them were pithy and humerous, but all were deadly serious.
