Here it is 18 month later. The situation is decaying all the more, and this observation remains dead on “I don’t see anyone here even giving me the time of day to respond in kind, let alone Dr. Hanson.” Not even the commenter who went by the name Sulla and lamented the lack of Americans who know their history. I didn’t even get an attaboy from Sulla who implied he knows history.

“I expect him soon either to continue as is and face a historic rebuke in 2010, or to begin scrambling to talk about the debt, fiscal sobriety, and American exceptionalism—his Carter or Clinton call.”

It is curious that one of BHO’s themes today is that we cannot let the deficit (debt) get out of control as it may affect the recovery…

So maybe BHO is reading VDH?

It must be frustrating to have to rely on other people’s thinking to form your opinions. But here’s some good news . . . I hear the majority of booksellers are selling Going Rogue at below their cost. Woo-hoo! I think the fact that the page numbers aren’t in order may have something to do with it.

Off you go, now. Hannity is debating Dana Perino on Dick Cheney “great man or a great savior?”

“You miss me, I know. And despite your calls for censorship and treading on the 1st Amendment, you need my sense of perspective to keep you on the straight and narrow.”

Do you have a sense of unrealistic importance? Or realistic impotence?

“Actually, I’ve been out fact-checking …” “How very Prejean-esque of Ms. Palin.”

Have you been spending your days watching Hollywood gossip T.V. shows?

“…colored pantyhose industry?

Isn’t the use of the word “colored” banned by Modern Liberals?

Prejean and Palin criticized, then this. Right up there with Lenny Bruce. Notice what the self proclaimed Most Moral Modern Liberal in the World has been reduced to.

“Oh, I almost forgot . . . turd! And wait . . . tea bagger! (Geez, you conservatives have some odd predilections.) Oh, what the heck, let’s just combine your fascinations into one handy reference . . . ‘turd bagger.’”

Did you mistake the cat box for a box of chocolates? Oh well…

How did the White House Turkey interview go, you Handsome Mixed European-American Turkey With a Touch of Black?

Who is Anvil Johnson anyway?

In an era where yoru compatriots are sliding through code words like “great white hope” and equating Obama’s health care with being a “witch doctor”, I find your up on the kitchen chair pearl-clutching fainting hilarious on this issue. I think if you knew how humorous it is to everyone but a small minority of idiots, you’d stop doing it post-haste. But I hope you don’t. Seriously. Don’t stop complaining about the fact that people call you teabaggers.

About that “lancing” procedure you mention. And, first steps. Absent ropes and lampposts, I guess RICO, coupled with charges of espionage, treason, sedition, aiding/abetting, lying to authorities, misuse of Federal funds, payola, kickbacks, vote-buying, suppressing evidense and obstructing justice and perhaps involvement in several murders; plus active participation in the largest theft in history, must suffice. I know, I’m furgettin some of their vile acts.

Naturally, waterboarding requires immediate re-instating, if we expect to discover who, what, when, where & how. Why do you suppose the Left is so adament about its abolishment, when it so clearly works? Must we abide by laws created by criminals for their self-preservation? Are we gonna get serious, given the opportunity?

85% of subprime mortgages were created by guess what… private lenders. Countrywide Financial which in 2008 serviced 98 billion dollars in loans was the number one lender.

Countrywide, New Century Financial and Ameriquest were private companies who wrote the majority of the subprime loans. I assume they have gone Galt since they don’t appear to be around anymore.

The private loans from these institutions were not from some government enforced requirement. The mortgage brokers who were responsible for actually submitting loan applications from the overwhelming majority of subprime loans were not beholden to either the CRA act of 1977 nor were they regulated by government.

In a nutshell, private mortgage lenders, were responsible for over 2/3rds of the problem.
