Oh, you forgot to call Glenn Beck
fat, too. How ridiculous.
Glenn Beck is awesome and extreeeeemely intelligent.
Great and really informative article, but the reasons we find the economy in this problem....sm
is all the banking deregulation that has taken place over the past 9 years or so....without any regulations at all, the banks have had free reign to wallow in their greed, invest their investor's money in very speculative and dangerous deals trying to make as much quick money as possible, and when it all blew up in their face, we all are expected to rescue these despicable creatures because the econmomy and wellfare of the nation, its homeowners, small businesses, etc., will just be the true victims suffering every greater losses. Yes, I agree that soem of the article's highlighted practices are very frightening for us, but right now we are facing an unprecedented financial tragedy in this country....blame all the banking deregulation, and those who proposed/allowed it as "free enterprise (interpreted=unbridled greed and robbery) as the horrid lesson here.
'Bout time, too! This science shows such great promise in
N/M
That was very informative! Thank you.
Can't say I'm shocked, though. I sent it to all my friends and relatives. Even my neighbor, who is a staunch Dem...except for the past 2 elections. He voted Pub, as he says, "the lesser of 2 evils." 
This was very informative.
Thank you for posting. It just makes me wonder even more why certain people are being placed in our governement when they are such obvious crooks!!!!
Very informative
Thanks for posting. I thought I remembered hearing that the Dutch model was a pretty good one, but it was nice reading about a firsthand account. There are a few things that I would have liked to seen answered in the article- cost of living type issues. However, as a person without health insurance (prohibitive cost), it was nice to read an article that presented the positive side of universal health care. I'm sure the NYT made a conscious choice in running this article now, but it was informative and good fodder for thought at a time the nation is discussing- among other things- revamping our system of medical care.
This is a very informative site.
Thanks for posting it. I'd be interested in knowing your views on the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty in 1967 (killing 34 American soldiers and wounding 171).
Also, how do you feel about Israel spying on the United States?
We all pretty much know Hezbollah's/Iran's/Syria's role in all this. I think it's time we take a good look at the other countries involved in this region including America and Israel.
Again, thank you for a very interesting and informative site. I hope you keep posting. I think I can learn a lot from you.
This is really not such an informative site.
This is a very small handful of Jews (I am Jewish) and they are here in the United States. They have lost touch with what is happening in Israel. The rest of what you are saying is just confusing to me. What are you getting at? To see the few posters on this board, all of a sudden, Israel is the great evil and Hezbollah are saints. It's really sickening.
Very Informative about Immigration
It's 13 minutes long, but well worth it (and no commercials)!
As we prepare for the expected Congressional battles over immigration numbers this fall, it’s a good time to take stock of the urgency of our cause and the tools we have available to help fight for lower immigration numbers.
This video captures the essence of NumbersUSA and is a must-see for anyone who wants to fully understand the basic information behind our work.
Or, you can cut and paste this link into your browser:
http://www.numbersusa.com/content/resources/video/recommended/immigration-numbers.html
There is, perhaps, no better way to quickly understand the essence of NumbersUSA than to watch
this video. If you haven’t already seen it, you must watch. If you have, I recommend taking another look or forwarding it on to your friends and family.
For more information and feedback on the video, please see my recent blog entry: http://www.numbersusa.com/content/nusablog/bealea/august-25-2008/13-minute-video-heart-numbersusa.html.

very informative post.

Yes, very informative, but very long.
i hope tihs opens up the eyes of some on this board. I said it before but I was called a liar...now it's in black and white in this paragraph:
"So what do we do now? In 2000, the 106th Congress as its final effort passed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act (CFMA), and, disgracefully, President Clinton signed it. It opened up the bucket-shop loophole that capsized the world's economic system. With the stroke of a presidential pen, a century of valuable protection was lost."
This was so wrong. I agree those at the top of this mess should be prosecuted to the fullest, and not by a slap on the wrist or house arrest. I think the bailout money should be paid back. As it stands, they are being rewarded for failing.
If you or I fail at our job, do we get bonuses? Do we get money from the feds for doing a lousy job? Do we get rewarded for cheating and lying? No...and they shouldn't either.
It sounds like this guy has some faith in Eric Holder, but only time will tell. I doubt Geithner is a good choice and I'm sure if O, Congress and Senate weren't in a such a hurry, they could have chosen more sensibly. What's the rush anywho? The economy is in the dumps and will take a long time to dig out. A few more weeks of looking for the right candidate wouldn't have hurt that much more.
People are still losing their jobs and homes. I don't see anything happening yet except that they want to pass the second stimulus package which STILL does not help the workers that much. Yet they are gung ho to pass it. They just have their mind set on one thing - stimulus, nothing else.
Okay, I'll get off my  again.
In my opinion, it is an informative site.
You're entitled to your opinion and whether you like it or not, I'm entitled to mine.
And I'm sorry, but as you know, my questions weren't directed at you. They were directed at objective people who might possibly believe that Israel is not perfect. Contrary to your vivid imagination, nobody on this board ever said Hezbollah are saints. I am just trying to explore everyone's role in the recent mideast war, including America's. It's sad that you feel the search for the truth is sickening. Your tummy might feel more comfy in the The Israel-Is-Perfect-And-Can-Do-No-Wrong room. The door is thataway >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Great post, great insight, great analysis, thanks!..nm

Meaning, I read and try to find informative sites

I like having Glenn on Fox.
The only thing I don't like is when he goes on Bill O'Reilly's show and Bill hardly lets Glenn finish a sentence at all. I like Bill too but I am getting annoyed at his constant interrupting people and not letting them finish a sentence. I'm half tempted to send O'Reilly an email asking him to try to not do that, but I really don't want to show up on the emails during the showing. LOL.
normally i like glenn beck
but he is taking this waaaaay too defensively - i thought that rev lowery was hilarious and "groovy"! and there were plenty of baby boomers who shook their heads and smiled at him as well as obama because we had heard this before. i will be 44 this year, born in 1965, and my mother was born in the first year of the baby boom, 1946. when she and my father divorced in the early 1970s, she could not even rent an apartment because she was not married, nor get a loan because she was not married. we had to move back in with her parents in order to have a roof over our heads because, without a husband, she was a nonentity. but the times were a'changing. and as a young child, i heard often cool things like what lowery said...and bra burning to boot, not that my mother was hip enough to ever do that, but she worked two jobs and went to community college and eventually was able to build us a home (yes, through farmers home administration - thank god for them or we could never have broken through the discrimination against women at the time). through her brave choices (we could have lived with her parents forever - but she wanted her own life) and her choice of friends, black, yellow, red and white - at time when nice white girls who were prom queens and cheerleaders should not be seen with any of them, she showed me that the world is huge and that sometimes we have to laugh at our white selves :-)
I like Glenn Beck. He used to be on CNN
Probably because he was not really for Obama. Anyway, he brought up today that there are sections in the 677 some page stimulus that do not make sense at all. For example, the immigration section states something like: Article 45677 is to follow ACT 6544434 and then to follow 664444 and should be proceed with ACT 6654434 and so on. Glenn Beck said he had his top advisers and lawyer friends try to figure out what does it really mean and guess what? NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT MEANS.
So there are sections in this stimulus package and we have no idea what it means and some of the parties want this passed quickly? Why? So it will try and fix the economy? The first bailout did nothing?

So that is why we are to call our representatives to try and stop this stimulus package so we can basically digest what is really involved. After all, how much money is involved? A LOT! Talk about jumping the gun with a A LOT OF MONEY.
I love Glenn too, but he now comes
on too early for me to watch most of the time. I loved it when he was on at a later time. I'm hoping the network puts him in a later time slot so DH can also watch...that is, if he works this year. He likes him too.
What is it with Glenn Beck?....(sm)
I think this link pretty much sums up Glenn Beck. Pay close attention to the "Beckisms." And you guys are clinging to his every word.

Love Glenn Beck
He has such a great way of pointing out the obvious. You do have to wonder why they all keep wanting to raise the taxes on the wealthy when that would include the majority of them - now we know! They don't pay!!!
Another Glenn Beck Video
http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/20816/?ck=1
Glenn Beck mentioned this
last week on his show. He is having a special show in New York this Friday. He is wanting all the people who care for their country to come together. We are to look at his website and join in on "We Surround Them".
http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/21018/?ck=1
You don't have to watch Glenn Beck...
to know his background. A simple Google search is all that's necessary. Glenn Beck is nothing more than another washed up disc jockey just like Rush Limbaugh.
Glenn could not have made his point
better! MSNBC picked up on the show so quickly, along with all the regular critics, they really spread his message for him. They are such a great advertising firm for him and Bill-O! Thanks for posting it on here!
Glenn Beck: Does anyone in Washington Pay Taxes?
He's really getting ticked off again.
http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/20937/
Glenn Beck's problem?? He is a realist.
He is not hoodwinked by the powers that be.
Glenn Beck is making an impact
and they can't stand it.
Go Glenn!
Oh, Glenn Beck is intelligent. It's the people

Glenn Beck starts his new show tonight
I can't wait. I've missed him. Sometimes he makes sense, sometimes he doesn't, but he sure does tell it like it is.
"Thomas Paine" was on Glenn Beck tonight
He said so many people are sending tea bags but they aren't getting anywhere with it. Even though thousands have been sent in, they aren't getting to the people they are being sent to and instead, are being thrown out because "they might contain an illegal substance." So he is asking people to take the square tags at the end of the string from the tea bags and send those in instead of the whole teabag.
Glenn Beck is a swinging...um...oh yeah, pendulum.-nm

Glenn Beck:Obama's budget a loaded weapon aimed at you.
By Glenn Beck
Host, “Glenn Beck“
Hello America,
If you had any doubt that we were on “The Road to Socialism,” President Obama’s just released budget should clear up that confusion. In fact, we’re so on The Road to Socialism that Barack Obama’s budget reads like he went to MapQuest and printed out turn-by-turn directions to get us to socialism as quickly as possible. So far, President Obama is really making a big scary mess of things and this budget is a giant step in the wrong direction.
Believe me–I understand that I’m not the only one who feels this way. But there have been lots of times in my career when I felt like I was all alone in my thinking (and that’s exactly why I’m having my “We Surround Them” event on March 13th…so you know that you’re not alone –click here for more details). So it’s always comforting for me when I hear others saying the same thing. Just this past weekend on “FOX News Sunday,” host Chris Wallace asked Arizona’s Republican Senator Jon Kyl, “How big a change in direction does the Obama budget represent in the relationship between government and the American people?” Without missing a beat, Senator Kyl quoted The Wall Street Journal by saying, “The budget represents a historical shift in the ideological direction of U.S. economic policy.” No mincing words there. Then he reminded everyone that The Wall Street Journal also stated in an editorial that President Obama is attempting to expand the role of government to such a dominant position that its power can never be rolled back. A respected United States Senator and The Wall Street Journal–oh, I like that company. (Too bad we’re all agreeing on how bad things are getting.)
Here are some of the budget’s broad strokes:
* Obama’s budget takes the size of our government to the largest it’s been since World War II.
* It’s got a $1.4 trillion tax increase in it (and oh yeah–we’re in the middle of a recession).
* It doubles the debt in eight years.
* It never balances the budget and proposes that, for the next 10 years, our deficits are at a record high.
Hmmm. Usually I like to frame things in a “good news / bad news” context. That just won’t work here, but I don’t want to be a big downer. So let me put on a happy face and say that all the above was merely the regular, garden-variety bad news! Now here comes the super awful really bad news:
* Like a loaded weapon, this budget is aimed directly at you.
Is there a quicker way to end a honeymoon period for a new president than to propose a bunch of new taxes? It’s going to take a lot of serenading from Beyonce to make people forget about having less money…especially in this economy. See, not only is there a proposed huge tax increase for the energy and manufacturing sectors (and those get passed on to everyone), but overall tax rates are going up. All this is a real gut shot for small business. What too many people fail to remember is that small business is big business in America–over 70% of all American business is done by a small business. That means it’s likely that you either own or work for one, so President Obama wants more of your money (and I’m guessing it’s not like you have a whole lot extra lying around these days.)
And then there’s Obama’s suggestion of a “long-term investment in the economy.” That’s a fancy way of saying “increased spending.” (You don’t exactly need a decoder ring to figure that one out.) Another $30 billion for AIG…after they paid out six and seven figure bonuses and recorded the highest quarterly loss ever–over $60 billion–in U.S. history? How deep can our pockets be expected to be? Remember–every dollar the government “invests” in failing businesses is one of your dollars. If you had a stock broker who made the kind of crappy investments Washington has been making (and wants to make more of), you’d have fired them long ago.
This really isn’t that new a story–Democrats have a reputation of taxing and spending because, well…they always tax and spend. President Obama tries to soften his budget’s blow by stating that the tax increases don’t kick in until 2011. Um, Mr. President? It’s not exactly like 2011 is off in the sci-fi future where we’ll all have flying cars and live the life of George Jetson. Just like you need to plan ahead for re-election, small business owners need to do the same thing–plan for their future. So congratulations–now they’re doing that by bracing themselves for the tax avalanche coming their way in just a little over a year and a half from now. So instead of fueling the economy now–when we need it–business will tighten its belt and lower today’s bottom line in preparation for tomorrow’s new taxes. That lowers tax receipts! Instead of getting better, things get worse. Even I get that, and I’m the alcoholic rodeo clown.
Is it Election Day, 2012 yet?
Amen to that, I heard on Glenn BeEck to watch out for Acorn protests.nm

No it shows that I know something
you haven't bothered to check out for yourself.
France was right about IRAQ.
And WE IGNORED HITLER's atrocities until OUR economics were at stake, THEN we did the right thing, but NOT BEFORE.
Maybe it shows
how "frugal" the McCain/Palin ticket would be in the White House, you reckon??? So Mrs. O's dress looked like it came from a yard sale? So what? She is clean and she is neat, that's all I require. Why should candidates have to "look like they came from Saks Fifth Avenue to impress people?" I used to like to go in Saks in Houston when I lived there just to see how the upper crust lived. I did actually make purchases...............they had the most fabulus truffles you ever sank your teeth in........my weakness. t I would indulge even though they cost $6 EACH and that was back in the 80s. Lord knows what they cost now.
It just shows the
true character of our president-elect. He is stepping up to the rudderless ship regardless of the consequences. His presidency is not a desire for power, a desire to upstage daddy, or a way to ensure future big bucks giving speeches or sitting on a board of a corporation. He is doing it simply for the love of his country. Bless him.
Where would we end up if everyone of us shows off
what looks good on us???????
I think this shows...
how ignorant so many in this country are to our own history. I guess that's why we keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
This shows you exactly how much you know about the terrorists. sm
And THAT has been the worst part about all this. Bush hatred has not only fried you to crispy critters, it has made you dangerously ignorant.
i'm trying to pull that up and it shows
not sure what is going on.
You ask me about fear? I do believe things can and will get better. This is not something that is going to happen overnight and to be honest with you, I believe it will be worse with Obama.... Regarding the economy, there is a lot of fingerpointing and obviously I myself cannot be sure where exactly this started but we have had a democratic congress.
Pretty much shows
what we could expect from his administration. More lunacy. He wanted to win at all costs and he no doubt thought Palin would deliver Clinton supporter's votes. After that fiasco how anyone can think he will turn this country around is beyond me.
This one shows him more clearly - he says it toward the end of the clip (sm)
http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=pf0XIRZSTt8&NR=1
why delete? it shows a pic
of a radical looking Obama and a soldier McCain???? What's the matter my liberal friend? Don't like the truth? Is it NOT obama in his true form and not mccain in HIS true form? Maybe you object to them using a picture that doesn't portray a Messiah look?
Nope, sure can't. When God shows me
I just gotta plow right on through.
Class certainly shows.
The UK presents diplomatic gifts of great antiquity, value and meaning and in return we hand them, what? Plastic model planes? Talk about a low-rent reception! Yeah, I guess we really are illustrating that we don't care enough to give the very best.
Great, great post. Thank you, Marmann! nm
