Just had to post this to my larger audience. Check out the Liberal/Bamabats scream and shout and attack the messenger instead of defending there beloved socialist message. Tex and the Mountain chick who love to attack; well, yourstruly just had to retun fire with a few well placed shots. Enjoy the exchange. I wonder if there is a cure for rabid liberalism. The hate is going to kill them!
So some think Barryhood's idea of taking money from the highly motivated working people and giving it some who are not quite as efficient in earning a living is going to make the US a better place. Not a chance. Here is a good peice on this topic.

By John W. Lillpop
Those who applaud Barack Obama's "spread the wealth" communist blatherings ignore the fact that pity pot communists in Washington, D.C., caused the economic meltdown which has terrorized America and the entire world for several weeks....
Don't have good credit? Again, good credit is vastly overrated, especially when it comes to minorities and low-income folks. Good grief, if government would only force employers to pay more money, everyone could pay their bills on time.
Don't have stable employment? So what else is new? That is a given for minorities in racist America, especially in the disastrous Bush economy! We understand!
Don't have enough income to qualify for a loan? Again, racism takes a nasty toll. Once again, it is your Democrat Nanny who will force those evil lenders (mostly white Republicans!) to "expand" debt-to-income ratios, AND make your application a "stated income loan" so that all families can partake of the American Dream.

to a Mortgage company saying"please reduce my payments they're going to be to high and I won't be able to pay them, I know I agreed to make them but..."? Would that be included in the bail out? But I guess thats completely different.

jerseygirl Says:
things that are of a completely different matter are where people who think like this blogger take comfort; it's all they have.
This blogger is a socialist and doesn't even know it... and therein lies the beautiful irony of it all. Every time he drives on public roads, every school he's ever attended, every police officer who patrols his streets, every fire fighter that would come to a screeching halt if he dialed "9-1-1..." it's all paid for by your taxes, my taxes- his taxes. This idea of taking a portion of earned income to provide for the better good, well, in America- it's called socialism. I guess he could choose not to participate, and then be a sessionist like Sarah Palin's husband, but somehow... I doubt that.
So he needs fear to write and fear to think and fear to retort; it's all he's got. I know I don't like paying taxes- who does? But then, how many people do you see walking on a dirt path to go to work because they'd rather do that than use the roads socialism has paved?
Socialism... ooh, evil! Now I know what to dress up for Halloween- my pay stub! Now that's scary!

that the pack runs together. Yes Grandpa Truf, I negotiated without any help from the government a new loan agreement. No government nanny needed. It is called self reliance. And local fire and police service ain't "socialism." But people like you two don't care. You, grampa Tex from Modesto, enjoys reading Magaret Sanger bedtime stories to the wee ones; which is a generic term for the young and ignorant of mind. Guess you missed that dumas!
As for whatever you are writing about JG....who knows. You are so full of hate for Bush, and probably either all men and yourself, you do nothing but vomit the looney left's propaganda and play it off as if you are some sort of heroine with a pen. So you two should skip on back to you litter box and leave the heavy thinking to the qualified.

The emergence of a previously unseen writing sample proves all but conclusively that Barack Obama did not in any meaningful way write "Dreams from My Father," the book Time Magazine has called "the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician."
The emergence of a second writing sample, this one by a legitimate author, provides convincing evidence as to who did.
In 1990, the University of Illinois at Springfield published a collection of essays called "After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois." Obama contributed a chapter, titled: "Why Organize? Problems and Promise in the Inner City."
The year 1990, by the way, was when Obama, the newly elected president of the Harvard Law Review, received a six-figure advance from Simon & Schuster to write what would become "Dreams from My Father."
The publishers must not have read "Why Organize?" Although the essay covers many of the issues raised in "Dreams" and uses some of the memoir's techniques, it does so without a hint of style, sophistication or promise.
Indeed, the essay is clunky, pedestrian and wonkish – a B- paper in a freshman comp class. The following two excerpts capture Obama's range, or lack thereof:
Moreover, such approaches can and have become thinly veiled excuses for cutting back on social programs, which are anathema to a conservative agenda.
But organizing the black community faces enormous problems as well … and the urban landscape is littered with the skeletons of previous efforts.
These cliché-choked sentences go beyond the merely unpromising to the fully ungrammatical. "Organizing" does not "face." "Efforts" do not leave "skeletons." "Agendas" do not have "anathemas."
In "Why Organize?" Obama makes use of the fully recreated conversation, a technique used to somewhat better effect in "Dreams." Here, his ungainly conjuring of black speech makes one cringe:
"I just cannot understand why a bright young man like you would go to college, get that degree and become a community organizer."
"Why's that?"
"'Cause the pay is low, the hours is long, and don't nobody appreciate you."
Obama asks us to believe that five years later, without any additional training, he was capable of writing passages like the following from "Dreams":
Winter came and the city turned monochrome-black trees against gray sky above white earth. Night now fell in midafternoon, especially when the snowstorms rolled in, boundless prairie storms that set the sky close to the ground, the city lights reflected against the clouds.
To read "Why Organize?" in its entirety is to understand the fraud that is Obama, the literary genius. As the reader will see, one does not need forensic software to sense the limits of Obama's skills.

The Useful Idiots
That are what many an Obamanut have become. Blindly following the "golden calf" over the cliff and smillin' all the way. This article by Thomas Sewell is a good one on this subject. If you want to see a few of these idjits at work just click on my The Hive link.
http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- LENIN is supposed to have referred to blind defenders and apologists for the Soviet Union in the Western democracies as "useful idiots." Yet even Lenin might have been surprised at how far these useful idiots would carry their partisanship in later years -- including our own times.
Stalin's man-made famine in the Soviet Union during the 1930s killed more millions of people than Hitler killed in the Holocaust -- and Mao's man-made famine in China killed more millions than died in the USSR. Yet we not only hear little or nothing about either of these staggering catastrophes in the Communist world today, very little was said about them in the Western democracies while they were going on. Indeed, many useful idiots denied that there were famines in the Soviet Union or in Communist China.

Poor Tex From Modesto
Tex from Modesto who blogs under the name of truthseekers is anything but. The telling part of this poor man's lack of morals and mental skills is revealed when he refers to children as zygotes. I wonder if he signs the grandchildren's birthday cards.."Tom my loving zygote, someday you can support infanticide like grandpa."

John Mark Stallings
I was choked when I heard this story on Focus on the Family the other day. He passed away on 8-08.
Johnny Stallings
Johnny Stallings was the son of former Alabama coach Gene Stallings. Johnny was born with Down Syndrome. Today nearly 92 percent of babies that are diagnosed in the womb with this are murdered by abortion. But Gene Trusted God and gave Johnny unconditional love. Johnny died in August but his time here was a blessing to his family and all who knew him. Here is a link and line. Gene stallings was interviewd today on Focus on the Family. If you go to the site the entire interview can be heard.
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/DN-stallingsob_05met.ART.State.Edition1.4dcdd98.html
As a famous football coach, Gene Stallings could open doors, allowing his son to open hearts. Johnny had his photo taken with three presidents
In 1988, Gene Stallings spoke to a Rotary Club luncheon in Paris, Texas, on behalf of a home for disabled children.
"Johnny's lucky because he is with us," Mr. Stallings said at the time. "But there are a lot of other poor retarded children who don't have anyone.
"I say John is lucky, but actually we've been the fortunate ones," Gene Stallings said. "This was very difficult at first. We didn't want to believe it. But the good Lord knew what was best for us. Our lives have been very, very good. We have been blessed. He has put sweetness in our lives."

Dems And Bush Helped Create Our Mess
Good ol' Barn Frank helped create the Fanny and Freddie mess, so why would anybody believe he could fix it? If a surgeon botches your heart operation, are you going to go back to the same quack and let him take another crack at it? Of course not.
http://www.gop.com/News/NewsRead.aspx?Guid=8d36fd3b-2340-4c64-a28a-4d91a5c996b7
House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-MA): "These two entities – Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – are not facing any kind of financial crisis … The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing." (Stephen Labaton, "New Agency Proposed To Oversee Freddie Mac And Fannie Mae," The New York Times, 9/11/03)
"I don't think we face a crisis. I don't think that we have an impending disaster." (Marcy Gordon, "Freddie Mac Raises Its Estimate Of Errors," The Associated Press, 9/26/03)
In 2004, Rep. Frank said "I think Wall Street will get over it [if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac collapsed]." (Editorial, "Fannie Mae's Patron Saint," The Wall Street Journal, 9/9/08)
Since 1989, Rep. Frank has received $42,350 from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. (Lindsay Renick Mayer, "Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac Invest In Lawmakers," Center For Responsive Politics' "Capital Eye" Blog, www.opensecrets.org, Accessed 9/11/08)
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV): "The legislation from the Senate banking committee, passed today on a party line vote by the Republican majority, includes measures that could cripple the ability of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to carry out their mission of expanding homeownership … While I favor improving oversight by our federal housing regulators to ensure safety and soundness, we cannot pass legislation that could limit Americans from owning homes and potentially harm our economy in the process." (United Press International, 7/28/05)
Since 1989, Senator Reid has received $77,000 from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. (Lindsay Renick Mayer, "Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac Invest In Lawmakers," Center For Responsive Politics' "Capital Eye" Blog, www.opensecrets.org, Accessed 9/11/08)
"Both [Charles] Schumer [D-NY] and Christopher J. Dodd, D-Conn., the chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, have called on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's regulator to lift the portfolio caps. They argue that allowing the two firms to buy more mortgages, at least temporarily, would inject much needed liquidity into the market and calm the financial markets." (Michael R. Crittenden, "Schumer Will Seek To Lift Cap On Mortgage Portfolios Of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac," Congressional Quarterly Today, 8/16/07)
Since 1989, Sen. Dodd has received $165,400 from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, more than any other Member of Congress. (Lindsay Renick Mayer, "Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac Invest In Lawmakers," Center For Responsive Politics' "Capital Eye" Blog, www.opensecrets.org, Accessed 9/11/08)
Sen. Thomas Carper (D-DE): "Let me just say that some of you may recall hearing the old adage, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I've said that once or twice, maybe some of you have as well. If it ain't broke, don't fix it." (Sen. Carper, Hearing of Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, 10/16/03)

Media Agrees: Dems Obstructed Meaningful Reforms:
International Herald Tribune: "Democratic takeover of Congress was major victory for Fannie and Freddie … Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two mortgage finance giants, which have been recovering from accounting scandals, had faced the possibility of tight new oversight laws pushed largely by Republicans. But some powerful Democrats had resisted, preferring to promote the companies’ housing mission over tighter capital standards and portfolio limits. (International Herald Tribune, 11/8/06)
American Banker: "Democrats Oppose White House plan to strengthen Fannie and Freddie oversight." In late summer Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson Jr. began an effort to reach an agreement in the Senate, where Democrats oppose a White House-favored provision that would force Fannie and Freddie Mac to slash their mortgage portfolios. (American Banker, 12/1/06)
Origination News: "Until recently, the administration and Sen. Shelby have pushed for limits on the size of the GSE portfolios, which Democrats opposed. Now it appears that Secretary Paulson will insist on language that would allow the new GSE regulator to use systemic risk considerations in determining proper size of the portfolios. But the Democrats see systemic risk as a code word for portfolio limits." (Origination News, 12/1/06)
President Bush Has Worked To Improve And Strengthen Regulation And Oversight Over The Years, While Congress Has Often Stood In The Way
Regulatory Blueprint. In March, Treasury Secretary Paulson laid out a new financial regulatory blueprint. The regulations we have right now were put in place after the Great Depression. We need to improve oversight, increase transparency and increase the safety and soundness of our financial system.
Sen. Dodd: "This regulatory 'Blueprint' … will do nothing to end the housing crisis, which is the root cause of the recession we are now experiencing." "The Blueprint plan will receive a thorough review by the Congress, as do all efforts to make government more efficient and effective. But on first glance, it has serious flaws" (Sen. Christopher Dodd, Statement On Treasury's "Blueprint" For Regulatory Reform, 3/31/08)
FHA Modernization. President Bush first sent Congress an FHA Modernization bill in April 2006, but Congress delayed this legislation until there was a crisis at hand. These reforms would have empowered the FHA to reach more families that need help – first-time homebuyers, minorities, and those with low-to-moderate incomes – and offer more options to homeowners looking to refinance their existing mortgage.
RESPA. In March of this year, the Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed creating a new mortgage disclosure form to help homebuyers better understand loans and compare costs by updating and adding transparency to the 30-year-old Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). Congress has consistently opposed the Administration's efforts to improve and strengthen these regulations that would have improved mortgage loan originations.
Economic Appointees. The Democratic Senate has dragged their feet or outright blocked nominations of key economic appointees for the Federal Reserve Board, the SEC, the Council of Economic Advisors, the Energy Department and other important agencies. In 2007, President Bush nominated Larry Klane and Randall Kroszner to serve on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Unfortunately, after sixteen months of inaction, Congress continues to refuse to hold fair up or down votes on these two nominations. As our country continues to deal with this financial situation, it is Congress who bears the responsibility for not filling positions at this important institution.
Tax Exempt Bonds. President Bush has called on Congress to pass legislation that helps at-risk homeowners by permitting cities and States to issue tax-exempt bonds for refinancing existing home loans and by increasing existing bond caps. Under current law, tax-exempt bonds are only for first-time homebuyers and cannot be issued for refinancing.
And El Jorge 43 pushed for minority and low income home loans. In other words; High risk loans.

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, all. Thanks, for coming. Well, thanks for the warm welcome. Thank you for being here today. I appreciate your attendance to this very important conference. You see, we want everybody in America to own their own home. That's what we want. This is -- an ownership society is a compassionate society.
More and more people own their homes in America today. Two-thirds of all Americans own their homes, yet we have a problem here in America because few than half of the Hispanics and half the African Americans own the home. That's a homeownership gap. It's a -- it's a gap that we've got to work together to close for the good of our country, for the sake of a more hopeful future. We've got to work to knock down the barriers that have created a homeownership gap.
I set an ambitious goal. It's one that I believe we can achieve. It's a clear goal, that by the end of this decade we'll increase the number of minority homeowners by at least 5.5 million families. (Applause.)
Some may think that's a stretch. I don't think it is. I think it is realistic. I know we're going to have to work together to achieve it. But when we do our communities will be stronger and so will our economy. Achieving the goal is going to require some good policies out of Washington. And it's going to require a strong commitment from those of you involved in the housing industry.
Just by showing up at the conference, you show your commitment. And together, together we will work over the next decade to enable millions of our fellow Americans to own a piece of their own property, and that's their home.
I appreciate so very much the home owners who are with us today, the Arias family, newly arrived from Peru. They live in Baltimore. Thanks to the Association of Real Estate Brokers, the help of some good folks in Baltimore, they figured out how to purchase their own home. Imagine to be coming to our country without a home, with a simple dream. And now they're on stage here at this conference being one of the new home owners in the greatest land on the face of the Earth. I appreciate the Arias family coming. (Applause.)
We've got the Horton family from Little Rock, Arkansas, here today. Actually, it's not Little Rock; it's North Little Rock, Arkansas. I was corrected. (Laughter.) I appreciate so very much these good folks coming all the way up from the South. They were helped by HUD, they were helped by Freddie Mac. Obviously, they've got a young family. And when we start talking about owning a home, a smile spread right across the face of the dad that could have lit up the entire town of Washington, D.C. (Applause.) I appreciate you all coming. Thanks for coming. He had to make sure I knew that he was educated in Texas. (Laughter.)
Finally, Kim Berry from New York is here. She's a single mom. You're not going to believe this, but her son is 18 years old. (Laughter.) She barely looked like she was 18 to me. And being a single mom is the hardest job in America. And the idea of this fine American working hard to provide for her child, at the same time working hard to realize her dream, which is owning a home on Long Island, is really a special tribute to the character of this particular person and to the character of a lot of Americans. So we're honored to have you here, Kim, and thanks for being such a good mom and a fine American. (Applause.)
I told Mel Martinez I was serious about this initiative. We started talking about it and I said, well, you know, I'm the kind of fellow, I don't like to lay out a goal and don't mean it. I think it's not -- I don't think it's fair for the American people to be -- to have a President or anybody else, for that matter, lay out a goal and just kind of say it, but don't mean it. I mean it. And the good news is, Mel Martinez believes it and means it, as well. He's doing a fine job of running HUD, and I'm glad he has joined my Cabinet. (Applause.)
And I picked a pretty spunky deputy, as well, Alphonso Jackson -- my fellow Texan. (Applause.) I call him A.J.
I appreciate the Secretary of Agriculture being here. She's got a lot of money having to do with rural housing. I appreciate Ann's commitment to rural America. And I'm really proud of the job she's doing, as well, for the American people, serving in my Cabinet. Thanks for coming, Ann. (Applause.)
I've got some others in my administration, as I look around. I see Rosario Marin, who's the Treasurer of the United States. Rosario used to be a mayor. Thank you for coming, Madam Mayor. (Applause.) She understands how important housing is. I see other mayors around here, and I want to thank the mayors for coming. After all, it's in your interest that this project succeed.
I know we've got some folks from the faith-based community here. Luis Cortes, from Philadelphia is here; and my friend, Kirbyjon Caldwell, from Houston, Texas. Kirbyjon, I had breakfast with him this morning. He told me he was going to have to leave before my speech. He's a wise man, that Kirbyjon Caldwell. (Laughter.) But he has gone back home to Texas. I appreciate Margaret Spellings and her staff. Margaret is the Domestic Policy Advisor to the President, and I want to thank you for putting on this conference, Margaret.
All of us here in America should believe, and I think we do, that we should be, as I mentioned, a nation of owners. Owning something is freedom, as far as I'm concerned. It's part of a free society. And ownership of a home helps bring stability to neighborhoods. You own your home in a neighborhood, you have more interest in how your neighborhood feels, looks, whether it's safe or not. It brings pride to people, it's a part of an asset-based to society. It helps people build up their own individual portfolio, provides an opportunity, if need be, for a mom or a dad to leave something to their child. It's a part of -- it's of being a -- it's a part of -- an important part of America.
Homeownership is also an important part of our economic vitality. If -- when we meet this project, this goal, according to our Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, we will have added an additional $256 billion to the economy by encouraging 5.5 million new home owners in America; the activity -- the economic activity stimulated with the additional purchasers, the additional buyers, the additional demand will be upwards of $256 billion. And that's important because it will help people find work.
Low interest rates, low inflation are very important foundations for economic growth. The idea of encouraging new homeownership and the money that will be circulated as a result of people purchasing homes will mean people are more likely to find a job in America. This project not only is good for the soul of the country, it's good for the pocketbook of the country, as well.
To open up the doors of homeownership there are some barriers, and I want to talk about four that need to be overcome. First, down payments. A lot of folks can't make a down payment. They may be qualified. They may desire to buy a home, but they don't have the money to make a down payment. I think if you were to talk to a lot of families that are desirous to have a home, they would tell you that the down payment is the hurdle that they can't cross. And one way to address that is to have the federal government participate.
And so we've called upon Congress to set up what's called the American Dream Down Payment Fund, which will provide financial grants to local governments to help first-time home buyers who qualify to make the down payment on their home. If a down payment is a problem, there's a way we can address that. And when Congress funds the program, this should help 200,000 new families over the next five years become first-time home buyers.
Secondly, affordable housing is a problem in many neighborhoods, particularly inner-city neighborhoods. You may -- we may have qualified home buyers, but if there's no home to buy, this initiative isn't going anywhere. And so one of the things that we're going to -- that I'm doing is proposing a single-family affordable housing credit to encourage the construction of single-family homes in neighborhoods where affordable housing is scarce. (Applause.)
Over the next five years the initiative will provide home builders and therefore home buyers with -- home builders with $2 billion in tax credits to bring affordable homes and therefore provide an additional supply for home buyers. It's really important for us to understand that we can provide incentive for people to build homes where there's a lack of affordable housing.
And we've got to set priorities. And one of the key priorities is going to be inner-city America. Good schools and affordable housing will help revitalize our inner cities.
Another obstacle to minority homeownership is the lack of information. You know, getting into your own home can be complicated. It can be a difficult process. I had that very same problem. (Laughter and applause.)
Every home buyer has responsibilities and rights that need to be understood clearly. And yet, when you look at some of the contracts, there's a lot of small print. And you can imagine somebody newly arrived from Peru looking at all that print, and saying, I'm not sure I can possibly understand that. Why do I want to buy a home? There's an educational process that needs to go on, not only to explain the contract, explain obligation, but also to explain financing options, to help people understand the complexities of a homeownership market, and also at the same time to protect people from unscrupulous lenders, people who would take advantage of a good-hearted soul who is trying to realize their dream.
Homeownership education is critical. And so today, I'm pleased to announce that through Mel's office, we're going to distribute $35 million in 2003 to more than 100 national, state and local organizations that promote homeownership through buyer education. (Applause.)
And, of course, one of the larger obstacles to minority homeownership is financing, is the ability to have their dream financed. Right now, we have a program that all of you are familiar with, maybe our fellow Americans are, and that's what they call a Section 8 housing program, that provides billions of dollars in vouchers to help low-income Americans with their rent. It encourages leasing. We think it's important that we use those vouchers, that federal money to help low-income Americans go from being somebody who leases to somebody who owns; that we use the Section 8 program to not only help with down payment, but to help with continuing monthly mortgage payments after they're into their new home. It is a -- it is a way to help us meet this dream of 5.5 million additional families owning their home.
I'm also going to encourage the lending industry to develop a mortgage market so that this script, these vouchers, can regularly be used as a source of payment to provide more capital to lenders, who can then help more families move from rental housing into houses of their own.
These are some of the barriers that home owners face, potential home owners face, and this is what we intend to do about it. But like in a lot of our life, government can't do everything. It's impossible to provide every aspect of a national strategy, particularly in this case. And that's why we need the help of private and nonprofit sectors in our country to help play a vital role in helping to meet the goal. Many of you here represent the nonprofit, as well as the private sectors of our economy and our country, and I want to thank you for your commitment.
Last June, I issued a challenge to everyone involved in the housing industry to help increase the number of minority families to be home owners. And what I'm talking about, I'm talking about your bankers and your brokers and developers, as well as members of faith-based community and community programs. And the response to the home owners challenge has been very strong and very gratifying. Twenty-two public and private partners have signed up to help meet our national goal. Partners in the mortgage finance industry are encouraging homeownership by purchasing more loans made by banks to African Americans, Hispanics and other minorities.
Representatives of the real estate and homebuilding industries, through their nationwide networks or affiliates, are committed to broadening homeownership. They made the commitment to help meet the national goal we set.
Freddie Mae -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- I see the heads who are here; I want to thank you all for coming -- (laughter) -- have committed to provide more money for lenders. They've committed to help meet the shortage of capital available for minority home buyers.
Fannie Mae recently announced a $50 million program to develop 600 homes for the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma. Franklin, I appreciate that commitment. They also announced $12.7 million investment in a condominium project in Harlem. It's the beginnings of a series of initiatives to help meet the goal of 5.5 million families. Franklin told me at the meeting where we kicked this office, he said, I promise you we will help, and he has, like many others in this room have done.
Freddie Mac recently began 25 initiatives around the country to dismantle barriers and create greater opportunities for homeownership. One of the programs is designed to help deserving families who have bad credit histories to qualify for homeownership loans. Freddie Mac is also working with the Department of Defense to promote construction and financing for housing for men and women in the military.
There's all kinds of ways that we can work together to meet the goal. Corporate America has a responsibility to work to make America a compassionate place. Corporate America has responded. As an example -- only one of many examples -- the good folks at Sears and Roebuck have responded by making a five-year, $100 million commitment to making homeownership and home maintenance possible for millions of Americans.
There have been other steps that are being taken to close the homeownership gap. And you've heard some of the stories here today, people much more eloquent than me, to talk about what's taking place on the front line of meeting this national goal.
The non-profit groups are bringing homeownership to some of our most troubled communities. And as you know, I'm a strong advocate of what I call the faith-based initiative. And the reason I am is because I understand the universal call to love a neighbor like you'd like to be loved yourself, and that includes helping somebody find a home.
One such example is the Enterprise Foundation, a national non-profit organization that provides assistance to grassroots homeownership organizations. Because of their work, as one example, 185 affordable homes will be available in the Baltimore neighborhood that was once so crime-ridden that people had written it off. Revitalizing neighborhoods is a real possibility if people put their mind to it. And at the same time, you're helping people own a home in America.
And the faith-based community is doing some fantastic work when it comes to encouraging homeownership, whether it be financial counseling, or job training or other outreach services, to help people understand what it takes to buy a home.
And then there's my friend Kirbyjon Caldwell. He not only provides counseling and job training, he actually decided to encourage a development of homes in the Houston area. People -- low-income people are going to be able to more afford a home in Texas because of Kirbyjon's vision and work. He's answered the call of faith to help people help themselves and to help them realize dreams.
The other thing Kirbyjon told me, which I really appreciate, is you don't have to have a lousy home for first-time home buyers. If you put your mind to it, the first-time home buyer, the low-income home buyer can have just as nice a house as anybody else. And I know Kirbyjon. He is what I call a social entrepreneur who is using his platform as a Methodist preacher to improve the neighborhood and the community in which he lives.
And so is Luis Cortes, who represents Nueva Esperanza in Philadelphia. I went to see Luis in the inner-city Philadelphia. Luis is -- at least he was -- he's probably still there -- in what one would call a tough neighborhood. There's a lot of abandoned buildings. And I mean, beautiful old structures just empty. Luis had a dream to revitalize his neighborhood, starting with a good charter school, one that would work, one that would teach kids how to read and write and add and subtract.
But he also understood that a homeownership program is incredibly important to revitalize this neighborhood that a lot of folks had already quit on. I suspect one day we'll all go back to Luis' neighborhood and we'll find first-time home owners there, and a good education system. And this will be the beginning of a -- of a neighborhood revitalization in that part of Philadelphia, because there was vision and drive and hope for our fellow citizens.
So I want to thank you all for coming. I want to thank you for your determination to help close the minority homeownership gap. It's an incredibly important initiative for this country. See, America is a good and generous country. It's a great place. Part of it was to make sure that the dream, the American Dream, the ability to come from anywhere in our society and say, I own this home, is a reality -- can be achievable for anybody, regardless of their status, regardless of their -- of whether or not they -- whether or not they think the dream is meant for them.
I mean, we can put light where there's darkness, and hope where there's despondency in this country. And part of it is working together as a nation to encourage folks to own their own home.
Again, I want to tell you, this is an initiative -- as Mel will tell you, it's an initiative that we take very seriously. We're going to stay on it until we're -- until we achieve the goal. And as we all achieve the goal, we can look back and say, America is a better place for our hard work, our efforts and our desires for our fellow Americans to realize the greatness of our country.
Thank you for coming. May God bless your vision. May God bless America. (Applause

Media Agrees: Dems Obstructed Meaningful Reforms:
International Herald Tribune: "Democratic takeover of Congress was major victory for Fannie and Freddie … Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two mortgage finance giants, which have been recovering from accounting scandals, had faced the possibility of tight new oversight laws pushed largely by Republicans. But some powerful Democrats had resisted, preferring to promote the companies’ housing mission over tighter capital standards and portfolio limits. (International Herald Tribune, 11/8/06)
American Banker: "Democrats Oppose White House plan to strengthen Fannie and Freddie oversight." In late summer Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson Jr. began an effort to reach an agreement in the Senate, where Democrats oppose a White House-favored provision that would force Fannie and Freddie Mac to slash their mortgage portfolios. (American Banker, 12/1/06)
Origination News: "Until recently, the administration and Sen. Shelby have pushed for limits on the size of the GSE portfolios, which Democrats opposed. Now it appears that Secretary Paulson will insist on language that would allow the new GSE regulator to use systemic risk considerations in determining proper size of the portfolios. But the Democrats see systemic risk as a code word for portfolio limits." (Origination News, 12/1/06)
President Bush Has Worked To Improve And Strengthen Regulation And Oversight Over The Years, While Congress Has Often Stood In The Way
Regulatory Blueprint. In March, Treasury Secretary Paulson laid out a new financial regulatory blueprint. The regulations we have right now were put in place after the Great Depression. We need to improve oversight, increase transparency and increase the safety and soundness of our financial system.
Sen. Dodd: "This regulatory 'Blueprint' … will do nothing to end the housing crisis, which is the root cause of the recession we are now experiencing." "The Blueprint plan will receive a thorough review by the Congress, as do all efforts to make government more efficient and effective. But on first glance, it has serious flaws" (Sen. Christopher Dodd, Statement On Treasury's "Blueprint" For Regulatory Reform, 3/31/08)
FHA Modernization. President Bush first sent Congress an FHA Modernization bill in April 2006, but Congress delayed this legislation until there was a crisis at hand. These reforms would have empowered the FHA to reach more families that need help – first-time homebuyers, minorities, and those with low-to-moderate incomes – and offer more options to homeowners looking to refinance their existing mortgage.
RESPA. In March of this year, the Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed creating a new mortgage disclosure form to help homebuyers better understand loans and compare costs by updating and adding transparency to the 30-year-old Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). Congress has consistently opposed the Administration's efforts to improve and strengthen these regulations that would have improved mortgage loan originations.
Economic Appointees. The Democratic Senate has dragged their feet or outright blocked nominations of key economic appointees for the Federal Reserve Board, the SEC, the Council of Economic Advisors, the Energy Department and other important agencies. In 2007, President Bush nominated Larry Klane and Randall Kroszner to serve on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Unfortunately, after sixteen months of inaction, Congress continues to refuse to hold fair up or down votes on these two nominations. As our country continues to deal with this financial situation, it is Congress who bears the responsibility for not filling positions at this important institution.
Tax Exempt Bonds. President Bush has called on Congress to pass legislation that helps at-risk homeowners by permitting cities and States to issue tax-exempt bonds for refinancing existing home loans and by increasing existing bond caps. Under current law, tax-exempt bonds are only for first-time homebuyers and cannot be issued for refinancing.
And El Jorge 43 pushed for minority and low income home loans. In other words; High risk loans.

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, all. Thanks, for coming. Well, thanks for the warm welcome. Thank you for being here today. I appreciate your attendance to this very important conference. You see, we want everybody in America to own their own home. That's what we want. This is -- an ownership society is a compassionate society.
More and more people own their homes in America today. Two-thirds of all Americans own their homes, yet we have a problem here in America because few than half of the Hispanics and half the African Americans own the home. That's a homeownership gap. It's a -- it's a gap that we've got to work together to close for the good of our country, for the sake of a more hopeful future. We've got to work to knock down the barriers that have created a homeownership gap.
I set an ambitious goal. It's one that I believe we can achieve. It's a clear goal, that by the end of this decade we'll increase the number of minority homeowners by at least 5.5 million families. (Applause.)
Some may think that's a stretch. I don't think it is. I think it is realistic. I know we're going to have to work together to achieve it. But when we do our communities will be stronger and so will our economy. Achieving the goal is going to require some good policies out of Washington. And it's going to require a strong commitment from those of you involved in the housing industry.
Just by showing up at the conference, you show your commitment. And together, together we will work over the next decade to enable millions of our fellow Americans to own a piece of their own property, and that's their home.
I appreciate so very much the home owners who are with us today, the Arias family, newly arrived from Peru. They live in Baltimore. Thanks to the Association of Real Estate Brokers, the help of some good folks in Baltimore, they figured out how to purchase their own home. Imagine to be coming to our country without a home, with a simple dream. And now they're on stage here at this conference being one of the new home owners in the greatest land on the face of the Earth. I appreciate the Arias family coming. (Applause.)
We've got the Horton family from Little Rock, Arkansas, here today. Actually, it's not Little Rock; it's North Little Rock, Arkansas. I was corrected. (Laughter.) I appreciate so very much these good folks coming all the way up from the South. They were helped by HUD, they were helped by Freddie Mac. Obviously, they've got a young family. And when we start talking about owning a home, a smile spread right across the face of the dad that could have lit up the entire town of Washington, D.C. (Applause.) I appreciate you all coming. Thanks for coming. He had to make sure I knew that he was educated in Texas. (Laughter.)
Finally, Kim Berry from New York is here. She's a single mom. You're not going to believe this, but her son is 18 years old. (Laughter.) She barely looked like she was 18 to me. And being a single mom is the hardest job in America. And the idea of this fine American working hard to provide for her child, at the same time working hard to realize her dream, which is owning a home on Long Island, is really a special tribute to the character of this particular person and to the character of a lot of Americans. So we're honored to have you here, Kim, and thanks for being such a good mom and a fine American. (Applause.)
I told Mel Martinez I was serious about this initiative. We started talking about it and I said, well, you know, I'm the kind of fellow, I don't like to lay out a goal and don't mean it. I think it's not -- I don't think it's fair for the American people to be -- to have a President or anybody else, for that matter, lay out a goal and just kind of say it, but don't mean it. I mean it. And the good news is, Mel Martinez believes it and means it, as well. He's doing a fine job of running HUD, and I'm glad he has joined my Cabinet. (Applause.)
And I picked a pretty spunky deputy, as well, Alphonso Jackson -- my fellow Texan. (Applause.) I call him A.J.
I appreciate the Secretary of Agriculture being here. She's got a lot of money having to do with rural housing. I appreciate Ann's commitment to rural America. And I'm really proud of the job she's doing, as well, for the American people, serving in my Cabinet. Thanks for coming, Ann. (Applause.)
I've got some others in my administration, as I look around. I see Rosario Marin, who's the Treasurer of the United States. Rosario used to be a mayor. Thank you for coming, Madam Mayor. (Applause.) She understands how important housing is. I see other mayors around here, and I want to thank the mayors for coming. After all, it's in your interest that this project succeed.
I know we've got some folks from the faith-based community here. Luis Cortes, from Philadelphia is here; and my friend, Kirbyjon Caldwell, from Houston, Texas. Kirbyjon, I had breakfast with him this morning. He told me he was going to have to leave before my speech. He's a wise man, that Kirbyjon Caldwell. (Laughter.) But he has gone back home to Texas. I appreciate Margaret Spellings and her staff. Margaret is the Domestic Policy Advisor to the President, and I want to thank you for putting on this conference, Margaret.
All of us here in America should believe, and I think we do, that we should be, as I mentioned, a nation of owners. Owning something is freedom, as far as I'm concerned. It's part of a free society. And ownership of a home helps bring stability to neighborhoods. You own your home in a neighborhood, you have more interest in how your neighborhood feels, looks, whether it's safe or not. It brings pride to people, it's a part of an asset-based to society. It helps people build up their own individual portfolio, provides an opportunity, if need be, for a mom or a dad to leave something to their child. It's a part of -- it's of being a -- it's a part of -- an important part of America.
Homeownership is also an important part of our economic vitality. If -- when we meet this project, this goal, according to our Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, we will have added an additional $256 billion to the economy by encouraging 5.5 million new home owners in America; the activity -- the economic activity stimulated with the additional purchasers, the additional buyers, the additional demand will be upwards of $256 billion. And that's important because it will help people find work.
Low interest rates, low inflation are very important foundations for economic growth. The idea of encouraging new homeownership and the money that will be circulated as a result of people purchasing homes will mean people are more likely to find a job in America. This project not only is good for the soul of the country, it's good for the pocketbook of the country, as well.
To open up the doors of homeownership there are some barriers, and I want to talk about four that need to be overcome. First, down payments. A lot of folks can't make a down payment. They may be qualified. They may desire to buy a home, but they don't have the money to make a down payment. I think if you were to talk to a lot of families that are desirous to have a home, they would tell you that the down payment is the hurdle that they can't cross. And one way to address that is to have the federal government participate.
And so we've called upon Congress to set up what's called the American Dream Down Payment Fund, which will provide financial grants to local governments to help first-time home buyers who qualify to make the down payment on their home. If a down payment is a problem, there's a way we can address that. And when Congress funds the program, this should help 200,000 new families over the next five years become first-time home buyers.
Secondly, affordable housing is a problem in many neighborhoods, particularly inner-city neighborhoods. You may -- we may have qualified home buyers, but if there's no home to buy, this initiative isn't going anywhere. And so one of the things that we're going to -- that I'm doing is proposing a single-family affordable housing credit to encourage the construction of single-family homes in neighborhoods where affordable housing is scarce. (Applause.)
Over the next five years the initiative will provide home builders and therefore home buyers with -- home builders with $2 billion in tax credits to bring affordable homes and therefore provide an additional supply for home buyers. It's really important for us to understand that we can provide incentive for people to build homes where there's a lack of affordable housing.
And we've got to set priorities. And one of the key priorities is going to be inner-city America. Good schools and affordable housing will help revitalize our inner cities.
Another obstacle to minority homeownership is the lack of information. You know, getting into your own home can be complicated. It can be a difficult process. I had that very same problem. (Laughter and applause.)
Every home buyer has responsibilities and rights that need to be understood clearly. And yet, when you look at some of the contracts, there's a lot of small print. And you can imagine somebody newly arrived from Peru looking at all that print, and saying, I'm not sure I can possibly understand that. Why do I want to buy a home? There's an educational process that needs to go on, not only to explain the contract, explain obligation, but also to explain financing options, to help people understand the complexities of a homeownership market, and also at the same time to protect people from unscrupulous lenders, people who would take advantage of a good-hearted soul who is trying to realize their dream.
Homeownership education is critical. And so today, I'm pleased to announce that through Mel's office, we're going to distribute $35 million in 2003 to more than 100 national, state and local organizations that promote homeownership through buyer education. (Applause.)
And, of course, one of the larger obstacles to minority homeownership is financing, is the ability to have their dream financed. Right now, we have a program that all of you are familiar with, maybe our fellow Americans are, and that's what they call a Section 8 housing program, that provides billions of dollars in vouchers to help low-income Americans with their rent. It encourages leasing.

It is a -- it is a way to help us meet this dream of 5.5 million additional families owning their home.
I'm also going to encourage the lending industry to develop a mortgage market so that this script, these vouchers, can regularly be used as a source of payment to provide more capital to lenders, who can then help more families move from rental housing into houses of their own.

Many of you here represent the nonprofit, as well as the private sectors of our economy and our country, and I want to thank you for your commitment.
Last June, I issued a challenge to everyone involved in the housing industry to help increase the number of minority families to be home owners. And what I'm talking about, I'm talking about your bankers and your brokers and developers, as well as members of faith-based community and community programs.

Freddie Mae -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- I see the heads who are here; I want to thank you all for coming -- (laughter) -- have committed to provide more money for lenders. They've committed to help meet the shortage of capital available for minority home buyers.
Fannie Mae recently announced a $50 million program to develop 600 homes for the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma. Franklin, I appreciate that commitment. They also announced $12.7 million investment in a condominium project in Harlem. It's the beginnings of a series of initiatives to help meet the goal of 5.5 million families.

The other thing Kirbyjon told me, which I really appreciate, is you don't have to have a lousy home for first-time home buyers. If you put your mind to it, the first-time home buyer, the low-income home buyer can have just as nice a house as anybody else. And I know Kirbyjon. He is what I call a social entrepreneur who is using his platform as a Methodist preacher to improve the neighborhood and the community in which he lives.
And so is Luis Cortes, who represents Nueva Esperanza in Philadelphia. I went to see Luis in the inner-city Philadelphia. Luis is -- at least he was -- he's probably still there -- in what one would call a tough neighborhood. There's a lot of abandoned buildings. And I mean, beautiful old structures just empty. Luis had a dream to revitalize his neighborhood, starting with a good charter school, one that would work, one that would teach kids how to read and write and add and subtract.
But he also understood that a homeownership program is incredibly important to revitalize this neighborhood that a lot of folks had already quit on. I suspect one day we'll all go back to Luis' neighborhood and we'll find first-time home owners there, and a good education system. And this will be the beginning of a -- of a neighborhood revitalization in that part of Philadelphia, because there was vision and drive and hope for our fellow citizens.
So I want to thank you all for coming. I want to thank you for your determination to help close the minority homeownership gap. It's an incredibly important initiative for this country. See, America is a good and generous country. It's a great place. Part of it was to make sure that the dream, the American Dream, the ability to come from anywhere in our society and say, I own this home, is a reality -- can be achievable for anybody, regardless of their status, regardless of their -- of whether or not they -- whether or not they think the dream is meant for them.
I mean, we can put light where there's darkness, and hope where there's despondency in this country. And part of it is working together as a nation to encourage folks to own their own home.
Again, I want to tell you, this is an initiative -- as Mel will tell you, it's an initiative that we take very seriously. We're going to stay on it until we're -- until we achieve the goal. And as we all achieve the goal, we can look back and say, America is a better place for our hard work, our efforts and our desires for our fellow Americans to realize the greatness of our country.
Thank you for coming. May God bless your vision. May God bless America. (Applause

ACORN Should Be Ashamed
Pushing and bullying lenders into making bad loans to people who could not afford to buy homes, ACORN and other thuggish groups who have used the poor and minorities to build their power base deserve much of the blame.
http://www.nypost.com/seven/09292008/postopinion/opedcolumnists/os_dangerous_pals_131216.htm
Community organizers intimidate banks into making high-risk loans to customers with poor credit.
In the name of fairness to minorities, community organizers occupy private offices, chant inside bank lobbies, and confront executives at their homes - and thereby force financial institutions to direct hundreds of millions of dollars in mortgages to low-credit customers.
In other words, community organizers help to undermine the US economy by pushing the banking system into a sinkhole of bad loans. And Obama has spent years training and funding the organizers who do it.
IT would be tough to find an "on the ground" community organizer more closely tied to the subprime-mortgage fiasco than Madeline Talbott. And no one has been more supportive of Madeline Talbott than Barrack Obama.

From My Friend Uppity Woman....And Now, For Some Greed On the Other Side of the Blame Fence
http://uppitywoman08.wordpress.com/2008/09/29/and-now-for-some-greed-on-the-other-side-of-the-blame-fence/
As I’ve been saying, the Greed involved in this wall street mess is not just the blame of one sector. We are looking at three prongs of blame here. Congress. Wall Street. Fannie/Freddie and Forced Loans To People Who couldn’t Afford a Home.
Here’s a tail of Wachovia as told by American Thinker entitled How Allies of George Soros Helped Bring Down Wachovia Bank.
....I would be very surprised indeed if the malfeasance of ACORN will ever be investigated by Publica, for its undermining of fair elections.

Chaplains Make The Right Choice
All Christian's prayers must always be prayed in His name. When 6 Virginia State Police chaplains were told not to do this they correctly quit their jobs. They were being asked to do what is morally wrong. One of them has started a petition to change the rule.
http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/452028.aspx
Six of the 17 chaplains for the Virginia State Police force have resigned because of new restrictions on prayer.
Earlier this month Col. W. Steven Flaherty, the state police superintendent, asked chaplains to offer only non-denominational prayers for public events and ceremonies.
Still, many found that complying with the new directive would violate their conscience.
"There were several of us who felt that because of our convictions. about what the Bible says, we couldn't agree to go along with a generic prayer policy," said 13-year trooper Rex Carter, who works in Southwest Virginia.

Barry's Truth Squad Will Arrest You
So if a political ad in Missouri does not "tell" the truth as Barry sees it he will use law enforcement to hunt down and make arrest. Talk about making his communist heroes proud of the Barrymessiah.
http://uppitywoman08.wordpress.com/2008/09/27/say-the-wrong-obama-thing-get-arrested-not-so-fast-says-missouri-governor/
What a freaking thug Barack Obama truly is. We are worried about his Marxist Socialist pals? This is down right Communist behavior! No wonder Putin and N. Korea’s “Dear Leader” think he’s swell. No wonder every whackjob failed fringe anti-democracy, anti-capitalism party from the 60s loves him.
The threat?: If somebody in Missouri does an Ad that Barack Obama deems “A Lie,” then the sheriff and the State Prosecutor are coming for you. And as we all know, when it comes to Barack Obama, EVERYTHING ANYBODY says is “A Lie,” even if it’s true.
JEFFERSON CITY - Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.
“This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.

Stanny Asked For Some Free PR From The Boot
Why not Stanny. I am a very kind dude so here is your free ad. But it might help if you matured a bit from the grade school type attacks. I guess anger stunts your mental growth.
I will deny whatever I want.
Stanford4Modesto Says:
I can do that you know.
I think you are the one people see through - but I am sure that you have your supporters as well.
I'm not thin skinned...am I? What makes you think I "want" to run for local office - sounds like you are the one with the spin.
You don't even understand "why" I run - or me at all - you don't understand my agenda - just like all this crap you say about muslims and Obama and so many other groups and individuals - your just a parrot of talk radio -and not a very good one.
Tell us about your child hood?
There must be a reason you hate so much.
I know that you think homosexuality is abnormal - I don't. I don't see how it could be.
I do see how I could be gay or any one else. Especially you.

Sure...
Stanford4Modesto Says:
You know whatever I can manipulate -
I guess you can call me one of those "criminal vagrants" you know - slipping into the homeless community to take advantage of them -... they of course will vote for me, once I lie to them and tell them how important they are to me - you know - how I am fighting for them and all of that stuff.
And their misery? It's over-rated.

G@# damn Reverend W
This was taken from The Uppity Woman. Nothing better than "good" democrats taking the "bad" ones to task.
http://uppitywoman08.wordpress.com/
Laura Meckler wrote yesterday evening, September 19, 2008, in the Wall Street Journal:
Don’t be shocked if you see the McCain campaign pull the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright out of mothballs in new attacks against one-time parishioner, Barack Obama.
McCain advisers say that they see “attack by association” as fair game now, arguing that Obama’s campaign has been using that technique to go after McCain. In particular, the Obama campaign has hammered McCain on the stump and in TV ads on the number of one-time lobbyists working for his campaign. (The McCain campaign is also angry about a Spanish-language TV ad that ties McCain to Rush Limbaugh on immigration, without ever saying that McCain took on Limbaugh and others to fight for comprehensive immigration reform.)
“They played it one way, we played it another way,” said one of McCain’s top advisers, Mark Salter. “Now we’re both going to play it the same way.” [...]
Salter said … the campaign was tired of “catching the spears.” Asked whether to expect attacks involved Wright, campaign spokesman Michael Goldfarb said: “We’ve seen all throughout the (Democratic) primary this guy has a lot of associations that are very problematic.”

Good Job Tex "Truthseekers"
I guess the truth gets a little agitating sometimes huh? If you can't handle it Tex get back on the porch and quit trying to run with the big dogs. Again, abortion is murder and I am sure your grand kids are happy your views did not affect them.
Yup, I did nothing wrong at The Hive other than protect myself and I get a "timeout"? What a joke. I have been attacked for weeks and nothing was done. I was told it was ok by The Bee's powers that be to call others names but I was out of line by calling truthseejers Tex and refered to his grandkids. I did not even realize he had grandkids! And Tex is what he asked me to call him. Calling a guy by a nickname and he goes by an alias. Maybe wussie should be a new name for you big guy. I did nothing wrong. Lucky I have my own site. You know, where somebody can't use my pop's name with false quotes. Just keep hiding behind a screen and a friendly Hive screener. Because you would never do what you do on your own....Tex.
Update: Tex continues to make false quotes and attribute them to my father who has passed on. I guess I should not be surprised and should actually feel sorry for you. Since you have shown time and time again you have no respect for life other than your own. So go back and tend your warehouses with the rats, mice and field roaches, you are company that I am sure they do not like.

More From My Friend; Uppity On Barry!
It is an awesome sign when many democrat women as well as most others are recognizing Barry for who he is. A phony. But I will let Ms. Uppity say it.
http://uppitywoman08.wordpress.com/
You are true slime, Barack Obama, and more and more people are learning this. Keep up the good work! We hava actually grown to appreciate your hate of women as well as your abject ignorance and stupidity. It will help to ship you back to Chicago Thug Land where you and Reverend Wright can put the Hamas Manifesto back on the web site and slap women around.
We’re on to you, BarackObama. That old “People’s families should be off-limits” routine is worn to the bone. I hope the swiftboats kick your miserable socialist wife’s ass back to that hospital where she uses her color to help them do the bare minimum so that they can get away with turning away the poor.
I honestly don’t know how a thuggish turd like you got to be running for President. There must be truly something wrong with our DNC. I don’t even want some of what they’re having.

Barry's Pro Death Anti Family History Is Coming Home To Roost
Yes, his anti life and marriage beliefs are not only coming home to roost, but are also showing his personal coop/soul is full of .....droppings. WND has a nice article on how important these issues are to many Americans.
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=74230
Most voters and Catholics oppose a president who doesn't know when life begins and would reject legal recognition of same-sex marriage, according to a new poll.
The ATI-News/Zogby poll, commissioned for WND Books' latest release, "The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on American Values," confirms a large number of voters take issue with Sen. Barack Obama's stance on abortion.
O'Leary, the former NBC Westwood One talk show host who has authored 11 books and penned political columns for USA Weekend that drew 90 million readers, looked at the potential consequences of an Obama administration and reached the following conclusions:
Obama will be a radical on the abortion issue as signaled by his blocking of emergency medical aid for babies who survive abortion;
Obama will attempt to ban the use of firearms for defense by law-abiding citizens;
Obama will raise tax rates up to 60 percent;
Obama will push for health care reforms that will let government determine which procedures and operations senior citizens are allowed to have;
Obama will "transform the U.S. Treasury into the United Nations' ATM";
Obama will choke off America's domestic energy resources, sending gas, electricity and food prices through the roof;
Obama will raise the percentage of Americans who pay no taxes at all, from 30 percent to 40 percent – at the expense of those who do;
Obama will transfer child-rearing responsibility and authority from parents to the federal government with his "0 to 5" program.

Read This Letter Barry Hussein
Poor Barry can't hide from his anti Jewish pals and mentors. The closer we get to the election the more these associations are going to be seen for what they are....Your true thought and beliefs Barry..your core values Barry.
This open letter is written by David Ha'ivri.

An Open Letter to Barack Obama
by David Ha'ivri
We know who you are and who your friends are.
Barack Obama, why don't you just go home?
Barack, your visit here is just a waste of time; you're not wanted or needed here. We'll do just fine without you and you'll probably do better with out us, too. Don't come around here making as if you're looking out for the good of Israel. We know who you are and who your friends are. Zigzagging back and forth about dividing or un-dividing
Zigzagging back and forth about dividing or un-dividing Jerusalem won't clear your history.
Jerusalem won't clear your history.
I'm not talking about your middle name. Any good Christian might have the middle name Hussein (although I can't think of any others). We won't hold that against you. There are worse things than having an Arab name; like for instance being supported by a known Jew-hater, bigot Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, who among other statements has accused the Jews of bringing on the Holocaust through cooperation with Hitler - "They helped him get the Third Reich on the road." But, of course, it would be wrong to hold that against you, because you haven't been rallying for his support (recently).
We can't really blame you for the beliefs of Father Michael Pfleger, who embraces Black Liberation Theology, which claims that Jesus was Black - so the Jews have no claim to Israel and, therefore, the Muslims are the rightful heirs of the Holy Land. Those beliefs have nothing to do with you, aside from the fact that you have coined the man your "moral compass." But one must admit that Pfleger is not your only mentor and also is not alone in looking up to Farrakhan.
Your spiritual mentor is Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who has praised Jimmy Carter for denouncing Zionism. Last year, the Trumpet Newsmagazine of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to Louis Farrakhan and said that he is a man who "truly epitomized greatness." You are a member of that Church and Jeremiah Wright is its leader and your spiritual adviser.
Now you won't go so far as to criticize Jimmy Carter, not even for meeting with the heads of Hamas, because, to paraphrase your words, "It's not your place to criticize him." That is, not until the next day, when you were seeking the support of Jewish leaders. Then you must have found a new place for criticism. Aren't the Jews great for giving a guy a new vision and a sense of self-confidence? Is that what you meant by, "It's time for change"?
Barack Hussein, we won't hold it against you. But can you tell us what you mean by supporting a Palestinian State along side Israel? Do you mean a replay of the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Gaza three years ago? Do you foresee soldiers carrying men, women and children away from their homes, which are to be demolished by bulldozers? Palestinian rule brought on the endless rocket fire on Sderot and the thousands of Jewish refugees who have yet to find permanent homes or means of a steady income. Is that your vision of a new hope that Farakkhan's Final Call website praises you for?
Barack Hussein, why don't you just go home? Your visit to Israel this week is not because you're looking out for the wellbeing of Israel and the Jewish people. You're coming to Israel looking for the Jewish vote; your goal is to
Don't use us or our land as a photo-op.
speak with the Jewish American voters through the press coverage of this tour to the holy land. You want them to think that you took the time off from your busy campaign to further peace in the Middle East. Your hope is that enough stupid Jews will misread the message and take it as an act of support for Israel.
Don't use us or our land as a photo-op to transmit a twisted call for support to Jewish-American voters. You don't fool us. We know who you and your friends are.
Barack Hussein, why don't you just go home? But on the way out, remember the words you heard here from the proud Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria: "This is our land!" We are back after two thousand years of forced exile and we are not about to leave it again.

An Open Letter to Barack Obama
by David Ha'ivri
We know who you are and who your friends are.
Barack Obama, why don't you just go home?
Barack, your visit here is just a waste of time; you're not wanted or needed here. We'll do just fine without you and you'll probably do better with out us, too. Don't come around here making as if you're looking out for the good of Israel. We know who you are and who your friends are. Zigzagging back and forth about dividing or un-dividing
Zigzagging back and forth about dividing or un-dividing Jerusalem won't clear your history.
Jerusalem won't clear your history.
I'm not talking about your middle name. Any good Christian might have the middle name Hussein (although I can't think of any others). We won't hold that against you. There are worse things than having an Arab name; like for instance being supported by a known Jew-hater, bigot Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, who among other statements has accused the Jews of bringing on the Holocaust through cooperation with Hitler - "They helped him get the Third Reich on the road."

Where Do Polar Bears Live?
Not in the part of ANWR we need to drill in! But the people who would have you pilot wind cars and live in huts will lead you to believe that they are roaming potential oil fields and drowning themselves in the ocean at the though of seeing an oil rig.
I for one, want to drive my gas powered truck, mow with my gas powered riding lawn tractor, clean the driveway with my gas powered blower and so on. If I wanted to live in a turd world country riding a goat I would move to that place. But this is America; The cleanest industrialized nation in the world. And in order to stay that way we must use any and all of our resources; coal, nuke, wind, natural gas, oil. Everything needs to be on the table. So get the tree huggers and wussies out of the way and drill like the majority of Americans want!
http://www.panda.org/about_wwf/where_we_work/europe/what_we_do/arctic/polar_bear/about_the_bears/populationstatus/index.cfm
Polar bears are found throughout the circumpolar Arctic on pack ice, along or near coasts, and on islands. They share this habitat with indigenous peoples, and animals such as ringed seals, arctic foxes, narwhal, beluga whales, and millions of migratory birds.
There are believed to be 20-25,000 polar bears worldwide, and about 60% of these are in Canada. Tracks have been reported as far north as the pole, but scientists believe few bears travel beyond 82° north latitude.
As for the population of the bears, scientist admit they don't know.
Trends in polar bear subpopulations
The IUCN-PBSG report (2006), brings together the latest information on the trend and status of the 19 polar bear subpopulations.
Some subpopulations are in decline...
According to the report, 5 subpopulations are in decline, 5 are stable and there is insufficient data on the other subpopulations to make an assessment.
...and may continue to decline
In the next 10 years, it is estimated that 5 polar bear subpopulations have a high to very high risk of decline, 6 have a low to very low risk and there is currently no estimate for 8 subpopulations.

His Brother From Some Other Mother
Here is a well written post about Barry's 1/2 brother who live in a dump while The Barryone sleeps in a home his convicted buddy hooked him up with. Thanks BM for this post. And for the Gang of Hate, stay away. I have an up comming post for you people anyway.

THIS CAN’T BE TRUE!
The news media is reporting that Barack Obama has seven living half-brothers/sisters living in Kenya. One of his half-brothers is living in squalor just outside Nairobi.

Race Wars Because Obama Loses?
What a typical response from a flammin' Barry kool aid drinker. Fatimah Ali is a joke. She believes Americans who vote for a losing Obama do not have the intelligence, self control and decency to put his loss behind them and work hard to put him or another democrat in the oval office in 2012? If McCain, or in my case Keyes, loses, I like most all republican and conservative independants are not going to ran sack our towns. Sounds like Ali may be a bit of a hate America club member. I can't tell if Ali worte this article or tapped into the DNC's talking points.... or has been having tea and crumpets with Shelly Obama.
http://www.philly.com/dailynews/opinion/20080902_Fatimah_Ali__We_need_Obama__not_4_more_years_of_George_Bush.html
If McCain wins, look for a full-fledged race and class war, fueled by a deflated and depressed country, soaring crime, homelessness - and hopelessness!

Alan Colmes; And Women Democrats
Uppity Woman has a great piece on this whole subject. Since she does a much better job explaining than I; Here you go!
http://uppitywoman08.wordpress.com/2008/08/31/alan-colmes-that-was-despicable/#comment-10925
The Democratic Party has strung women along for years, pretending to “represent” them, when all along, some of the worst misogyny in America resided right there in the Democratic Party. Not only are they sexist misogynist pigs but they have a gaggle of main stream media people to help them along. The deliberate slaughter of Hillary Clinton, brought to us by MSM, DNC and Barack Obama was obviously a learning experience for them. Now they know exactly how to expedite setting a woman aflame.
Yesterday Alan Colmes actually jumped the shark again. He questioned whether Sarah Palin took proper prenatal care and that her own “neglect” may have caused the Down’s Syndrome of her own baby. Damned working women!
I will wait while you absorb that despicable remark coming from a “progressive Democrat” “man” who exercised exponentially bad woman-bashing taste on behalf of the sexist pig he wants to elect.
Shockingly revolting, isn’t it? Breathtakingly tasteless and cruel, wouldn’t you say? Caught in their own irony.

Who Is Brian Nichols?
This guy was able to overpower a female officer and then go on a shooting spree. This guy is pure evil.
http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/02/04/080204fa_fact_toobin
he overpowered a sheriff’s deputy and stole her gun. Then Nichols entered the courtroom and shot and killed Judge Rowland Barnes as well as the court reporter, Julie Ann Brandau, before escaping down a stairwell. On the sidewalk outside the building, he shot and killed another deputy sheriff, Hoyt Teasley.
Nichols immediately became the object of a frenzied manhunt in the Atlanta area. Over the next few hours, he hijacked as many as five cars and, apparently while looking for shelter, murdered a federal agent, David Wilhelm

ROP Pirates

Truthseeker's Meltdown
This poor guy has finaly fell victim to his own hate. He is anti law enforcement, pro infanticide; belives all republicans are child molesters. Makes up quotes for deceased people he never met. But then again, I would venture a guess that the poor guy has nothing else going for him except the new box of Depends he just bought. Probably kicks his dog and yells at the grandkids too!

Dr. Keyes Is In
The AIP has made Dr. Keyes their party's candidate for president. This man's ideas, intellect and speaking skills are second to none. He does not waiver on his beliefs and values. The only reason the press stays away from him is because he is not the stereotypical "African American" that the media, lefty politicos, and race baiters need in order to maintain there power and finacial base.
http://chicagoist.com/2008/08/22/alan_keyes_to_take_on_obama_again.php
they've nominated Keyes to be their write-in candidate for president. Said party chairman Tom Hoefling:
We may not have balloons, funny hats, and millions of dollars pouring into our coffers from corporate sponsors, but we have something that is much more important: regular folks – housewives, small business people, factory workers, truck drivers, accountants, executives, pastors, moms, dads – good-hearted people who love their country and want to save it. The Republicans and the Democrats no longer represent ‘We the People.’ That’s why we intend to change American politics from the bottom up, by example.

Jimmy And Barry
It has been well known for a long time that Jimmy C. has no love for the Jewish people. That he is also a Marxist, dictator loving fool. But i don't think anyone saw the "black boy" blast coming! So some Americans where swept up by him in 76 and now many of these myopic voters are gathered in Colorado awaiting Barakapollo to give his gigantikos sermon. But he and the Peanut Man are very much alike.

Nice Job LPGA
The LPGA puts a quality product out. The women are excellent golfers and outstanding people. The LPGA is a business, so when they decided to direct all players to speak English, it was a very smart move. I have followed men's and women's golf for many years. Nothing worse than to watch a talented player shoot a spectacular round and then need some one to translate their interview.

LPGA to golfers: Speak English
By Michelle Malkin • August 27, 2008 11:26 AM Ready for a break from Dem convention coverage? Here’s the scoop on the LPGA’s decision to enforce an English-speaking policy. It’s a business decision. Many of the foreign golfers who are members have no problem with it. But wait until the ethnic grievance litigation unit gets wind of the policy. Lawsuits claiming civil rights violations in 3, 2, 1…
Concerned about its appeal to sponsors, the women’s professional golf tour, which in recent years has been dominated by foreign-born players, has warned its members that they must become conversant in English by 2009 or face suspension.
“We live in a sports-entertainment environment,” said Libba Galloway, the deputy commissioner of the tour, the Ladies Professional Golf Association. “For an athlete to be successful today in the sports entertainment world we live in, they need to be great performers on and off the course, and being able to communicate effectively with sponsors and fans is a big part of this.
“Being a U.S.-based tour, and with the majority of our fan base, pro-am contestants, sponsors and participants being English speaking, we think it is important for our players to effectively communicate in English.”

The Party For Death And Debauchery
Where a woman's murderer is hailed as great and a misogynist who put his personal pleasure over national security is royalty. Where most all the minions and leaders celebrate infanticide and class warfare. Where the individual is minimized and the government becomes the sole provider of cradle to grave care. Where the most successful are demonized and the lazy are provided for. Where the destruction of marriage and the family brings joy. Where good is evil and evil has become good. This is what the majority of the Democratic party has sunk to. When people base their morals on what makes them feel good and refuse to accept moral absolutes, the end result is a liberal democrat.
But those who don't give in to this evil, who refuse to accept what is evil as good refuse to go silent when the ignoble and vile target the moral and virtuous majority in this great country.
Through the Grace of God we as a nation are reaching the end of this liberal "trip" that has so infected our nation. And, if we have not, we will cease to be "One nation under God" and will become "One nation under Evil."
But, no matter which way we go, God will always protect His children, and may God have mercy on those who refuse to accept His Word.

This is what jheaton has been up to. Now it is clear why he has been taunting and baiting Hiver's. He steals their words and posts them on his own blog site without permission, without admission and without any honor whatsoever.
This is a direct violation of Hive rules and The Modesto Bee, has not only ignored the breach but aided and abetted in the scheme, it appears. Who is responsible? Who do you think? Who has promoted and protected Jheaton and who has the power to circumvent and selectively enforce The Hive user agreements.
I demand that my writings be immediately removed from your site mr. heaton and I call for a review of the dubious relationship that has precipitated this woeful abuse of Hivers and their intellectual properties.
The Piped one continues to pipe the hate!

Alan Keyes: The Culture Of Life Candidate
Alan Keyes has never waivered when it comes to suppoting babies in the womb. Dr. Keyes will be speaking out in Denver with many other supporters of life.
As for the culture of death Barry?
Q. Now, let’s deal with abortion. 40 million abortions since Roe v. Wade. you know, as a pastor I have to deal with this all of the time. \Aall of the pain and all of the conflicts. I know this is a very complex issue. 40 million abortions. At what point does a baby get human rights in your view?
A. Well, I think that whether you are looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade.
“I will never again cast a vote for an individual I in conscience believe to be pro-choice, pro-abortion, not pro-life. Based on the confession of his heart in New Hampshire, when John McCain told us clearly that he would tell his daughter it was her choice -- and every woman is somebody’s daughter, so if you tell the daughters of America it’s their choice, you’re pro-choice. He is pro- choice, he is not pro-life. I will not support a pro-choice, pro- abortion candidate.”Republican Presidential Debate, March 2, 2002Colorado Right to Life and American Right to Life will stand with black leaders from around the country at their Power in the Park rally and press conference on August 25, 2008, 8:30 am at Martin Luther King Park, one block from the largest Planned Parenthood abortuary in the nation.
The killing center, dubbed Auschwitz, by local opponents of the racist organization,...
“The number one taker of black life is abortion, and it’s time people woke up to that fact. The location of this latest Planned Parenthood facility in yet another minority neighborhood is a part of the continuing fulfillment of the racist, eugenicist dream of their founder, Margaret Sanger, but it is a travesty of the American dream. Planned Parenthood’s agenda discards the principle that we are all created equal, which is the basis of liberty for all Americans.” - Alan Keyes
I frankly don't care if you agree with my stand on abortion. I take that stand because no other stand is consistent with decent principles, and no other standard is consistent with the will of God. Alan Keyes

Wanna Be Politico....For Sure A Panderer
So hombre/brother Stanny. Are you Latino now? I thought you claimed you were black? I guess whatever gets you attention.
You Say La Raza, Yo say La Humana
localblack Says:
I am overwhelmed with the amount of participation in this Blog, why it reminds me of City council meetings and the Charter review committee meetings where so many of our community show up to support our community, why out of nearly half a million people less then a dozen shows up. And most of them, are also completely mis-informed, or worse yet, dis-informed.
At El Concilio, we had a very informative forum from three immigration attorneys regarding the new proposed immigration legislation still sloshing in the senate - that was productive, that was understandable and that was more to the point of answering the questions of what are we doing as a country to humanely deal with our screwed up immigration system.
Eve Hightower sat next to me throughout that, and I got a chance to further appreciate a Bee reporter. Now she has another fan.
This did not get any press that I know of, it seems that the proposal for sanctuary did though. I tried to download the pdf but it does not work.
It breaks my heart when I see and hear people so angry about undocumented immigrants and they completely leave out any balance in their words regarding compassion in any way for anyone but their own kind. It makes them look like racists.
Not that it helps though when the site coordinator of El Concilio, Raul Garcia presents his organization as a separatist group, and expects me as a civil rights activist to buy the line that La Raza does not mean the race, it means the people, when any spanish-english dictionary will tell you otherwise - it means the people - La gente means the people.
Yeah, whatever, we must decide what is right for us as compassionate Americans. And not mistake ourselves as the American Race.
I would have rather those kids not filed what they had filed, but I support their rights, just as anyone elses. I would rather have humane immigration reform on a National Level, something that we could all agree on to whatever degree.
But that's what happens when even the site coordinator for the Modesto El Concilio, Raul Garcia, cares more about his name or photo in the local papers than truly fighting for a single race as he has numerous times dictated to me is El Concilio's aim (that is why the hmong are not supported by this group in any outreach efforts) - And that is why, when El Concilio holds forums and I stand and fight, I often feel that I am doing his job. And I'm not even Latino.
Worse yet, because I have repeatedly accused Raul Garcia and El Concilio as an organization as being seperatist, if I walked out into the street right now and got hit by a bus, Raul Garcia would dance on my grave singing Liza Minelli Show tunes before my body was even cold.
If the scarce amount of input on this blog and everything else that happens in this county is any indication - bring on the sanctuary, we all deserve whatever happens because we never speak up or support eachother unless there is something in it for us personally.
In short, I don't believe that this proposed sanctuary promotes understanding, I think it stirs up a hornets nest.
But who am I? Like I don't get off on throwing gas on the fire?!

The Pathetic Voice Of My Anti Fan Club
These poor wretches have so much hate for what is true and right in the world that they will attack the messenger and the message because they lack morals and logical thought capabilities. They are your standard cookie cutter counter culture crew; If it makes you feel good do it. If it is the easy way out take it. When confronted by your enemy, run, or attempt to understand their "Feeeeeeelings." Bottom line, they are the poster boys for the "Wussyfication" of America. Blame America first! Here is a few of their high/low lights:

How do you think a converstation on this blog would go between JHeaton and Obama?

Obama - JHeaton is immune - that's why he has this holier than thou attitude and thinks he can boss around those he does not like.

Here again, he is back to supporting any group or cause that he thinks will get him a seat on the local city board;
It's not strange...

That is just the way things really are - we are blind - JHeaton will lead us on how to win friends and influence people.
How do you think a converstation on this blog would go between JHeaton and Obama?
Which do you think would be suspended first?
Obama - JHeaton is immune - that's why he has this holier than thou attitude and thinks he can boss around those he does not like.
Oh, did I just mention Obama?
Oh, did I just reply to an off-topic post?
Forgive me, JHeaton.

And the Pied Piper of all who are weird, twisted and down right mentally ill;
You Are A Seriously Disturbed Man.
Bnic Says or should I say brian:
Your campaign is sick and transparent. You are a racist, a sadist and a intellectual fraud. Never, not once have you addressed your lies. You are a tiny little coward because you hide behind the knowledge that there are many here who don't settle arguments with violence.
But please be my guest, you are doing more to put a liberal administration in the White House, than I could ever do. But I need to ask, why have you got such a xxxd ox for me?
Everyone sees your edited replies and dredged up nonsense. Is this how you want to play?
Go impress your young friends. I'm not impressed. You are simply showing how easy you are made to be a mark, manipulated, a manifestation of disgruntledness.
Whooomp! There it is!
But these few, thank goodness, are not the majority in this country.
