Sub-prime lending is making a come-back due to Justice Department pressure

Sub-prime lending is making a come-back in some areas due, as before, to government pressure to lend to people unqualified to borrow.

Why don’t some of these people at the non-profits and the government put their OWN MONEY at risk here. If it makes sense to lend money in these areas, they should be happy to do so – they think there is a good reason to loan there and a good rate of return, GO AHEAD.

The question is not skin color, the question is ability to service the loan. If we want a repeat of the sub-prime crisis, repeat the process and force people to loan when it is not safe to do so.

The choice will be: lend less everywhere or lend to people who won’t be able to pay back the loan.

National Tea Party Convention’s William Temple hurts the Tea Party

Fox is running a story, “Tea Party Slams Boehner and Ryan on Debt Ceiling.”  The store includes a picture of William Temple (whomever that is) who is stated to be “chair of the “National Tea Party Convention” (whatever that is) showing him dressed in a costume along with someone else dressed similarly.  Stunts like this do nothing but damage the Tea Party movement. Does he want to be taken seriously? He should not be  dressing like a fool. Taxes, debt etc are serious topics, and trivializing them does no good.

No one is ridiculing free speech here, but Temple trivializes the issues and hurts the tea party movement by dressing like a fool. If Obama or McCain had shown up dressed as a clown in 2008 or Darth Vader, who would take them seriously?  The answer is no one.

It is necessary that one be aware of how people perceive you and these gentlemen do not appear to be aware. Concentrate on ideas, not playing dress-up.  Not all press is good.  This is one example of an occasion when the ideas matter, not stunts.  It makes one question their judgement which is the last thing that the Tea Party needs.  Unless they are intentionally attempting to hurt the Tea Party.

There are numerous Tea Party groups, the National Tea Party Convention and William Temple are doing nothing but damaging the other groups.

The press will look for nuts like him in order to portray the entire Tea Party movement as old, out-of-touch, and touched.

Tea-Parties.com does not support stunts like this either.

CBS Bob Schieffer calls Trump a racist for discussing racism

Schieffer stated that Trump’s questions about Obama’s school grades were an ‘ugly strain of racism’.

Let’s see how this works.  Colleges admissions departments can treat people differently due to the color of their skin. Rephrased, colleges can discriminate against one group of people due to their ‘race’.  Apparently CBS’ Bob Schieffer thinks that racist behavior is acceptable.  However, if you discuss that fact that people can be treated differently by college admission departments, you are a racist.  According to an illogical, Schieffer, the discriminatory action itself is not racist, but discussing the act is racist.

Welcome to the insane 1984-ish world of racist CBS News anchors where discussing discrimination based on skin color is racist while discriminating based on skin color is not.

 

Rick Hernandez Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office and Jim Coats of Pinellas County disgraces to the badge

Here is video explaining how some Sheriffs in Florida intend to infringe upon the rights of law abiding citizens in the State of Florida, if Florida becomes an open carry State. Rick Hernandez, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, and Jim Coats of Pinellas County are disgraces to the badge for making statements like this. Hernandez states that anyone open carrying will be stopped. “When someone is walking down the street with an exposed gun, nobody knows if they’re legal or not legal. Do they have a permit? Maybe they do maybe they don’t.” No mention of probable cause. There are millions of people driving in Florida every day no one knows if they are legal or legal.  Do they have a license?  Maybe they do, maybe they don’t.  Imagine if you could be stopped in your car just to verify your license? Sounds like a police state.

Jim Coats goes so far as to say “rights need to be granted in a responsible way.” Sheriff Coats, I think you have the United States confused with a Fascist country, perhaps Hitler’s Germany. In the United States, rights are not granted to the people.  Rights are retained by the people.  Privileges are granted, rights are not. Hernandez ends with “If we think that people carrying guns openly makes you safer, I think that is a bad assumption.”  If we are operating on assumptions, I think Sheriffs like these two individuals carrying guns openly makes the entire State of Florida less safe.

Sheriff Rick Hernandez says it will be “very, very cumbersome, and very, very scary” if Florida becomes open carry. “Very cumbersome”? Sorry, Sheriff, if doing your job is “cumbersome” perhaps you should find a different profession? We wouldn’t want to have our rights make your job more difficult now would we. He goes on to state that “our stress level is very high at this point.” Well excuse the public for making you do your job. You don’t like the stress level? Pick another profession.

I do not know who is hiring these Sheriffs and police officers in Florida, but the quality and caliber of the men involved is so low as to be disappointing to anyone in the State.

Remember: when seconds count, the police are just minutes away.  Exercise your rights or lose them.

 

Obama’s broken promise: I’ll help jobless blacks – Racists at USA Today

The racists at USA Today are at it again, lamenting (yet another) of President Obama’s broken promises, which as USA Today states as “Obama’s broken promise: I’ll help jobless blacks“.

A simple question for USA Today:  What is the different between “jobless blacks,” “jobless hispanics,” or “jobless whites”?  Why is a “jobless black” more important than anyone else?

Why the focus on something as stupid as skin color? Ah yes, the racists have to focus on skin color in order to divided people. Dividing people is the way to keep people from seeing the real problem is those who want to rule instead of those who want freedom.

I want to know the jobless rate of people with green eyes, the jobless rate of people with shorter than average noses and the jobless rate of people with brown eyes.  Hazel and blue eyes?  Maybe next week.  Not to mention the jobless rate of people with freckles.

Both are totalitarian systems where the government controls everyone and everything “for the common good” – and the good of the masters.
