Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:31:12 GMT 30 http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/yesterdays_print_rag.html So amazing, the juxtaposition of three totally and seemingly unrelated articles. The first, an interview with liberal ex-senator and current ultra-liberal author, Boren, admonishing people to: "start reading, studying, talking in all forms possible about things that really matter and that will really determine our future. Of this I do so agree, for if these ideas were implemented successfully, there would no longer be any liberalism. The second, from a reader lamenting and/or condemning co ... Mon, 13 Oct 2008 02:42:40 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/change_2.html Change ?!?!?!? Yes, this country does need a new direction. But, FROM what direction TOWARDS what direction? Do we need even more financial services failures? Do we need further mortgage, banking, insurance, and stock market collapse? If you really do say yes, then go ahead and vote for Obama, and the continuance of the "same ole" "same ole" barney Frank and Chris Dodd programs that created and have perpetuated our current fiscal problems. Or maybe we want to continue with the system of un ... Sat, 11 Oct 2008 01:52:26 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/vp_debate_2.html As for the Palin - Biden so-called debate, Palin's core audience group will not resort to something like FactCheck.org to verify the truth and accuracy of her statements. Like, do they really care? But hey Biden supporters, use this service yourself, because 99% of anything and everything said by Joe Biden was a flat out LIE. He knows it, we know it, why do you not admit it? Sat, 11 Oct 2008 01:46:05 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/change_.html Yes, this country does need a new direction. But, FROM what direction TOWARDS what direction? Do we need even more financial services failures? Do we need further mortgage, banking, insurance, and stock market collapse? If you really do say yes, then go ahead and vote for Obama, and the continuance of the "same ole" "same ole" barney Frank and Chris Dodd programs that created and have perpetuated our current fiscal problems.

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 01:41:08 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/what_2.html I read in my daily newspaper that yesterday was designated as "Right Wing Nut" day. So, does that mean the other 364 days of the year are "Left Wing Nut" day? Yes, of course they are. I thought so too! Fri, 10 Oct 2008 03:05:53 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/vp_debate_old_news.html I am still hearing from the Dem-Lib moan/groan, whine/cry about how Sarah Palin disrespected the debate format, and worst of all, disrespected poor little ole' Gwen Eifil; well so what - good for Sarah. They might as well as had Barbara Boxer or Nancy Pelosi as moderator, how much more one-sided or partisan could they (debate organizers) have gotten? What would the democrat party and/or Joe Biden have done if the moderator was Super-GOP like Bi;ll O'Reilly or Sean Hennedy? Or even a semi-m ... Mon, 6 Oct 2008 01:09:45 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/bailout_way.html My way, there will be no bailout. The greedy SOB's knew about the impending dangers of their risky actions years ago, and they kept at it even more grandiose. A few years ago, John McCain tried to warn congress and the American people about the near-illegal financial atrocities taking place; but no way, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd lied and lied and lied, and continued supporting their fat-cat uber-rich Dem-Lib buddies running Fannie and Freddy, and here we are today. Let the business's go ... Wed, 1 Oct 2008 02:51:29 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/1222479360.html And just how low on the lying and dishonesty scale can the democrats go? Wednesday, in the Louisville KY suburb of southern Indiana, Joe Biden excoriating the Bush administration's policies that have led to this current financial crisis. Everything in the national financial picture today, most of which is going wrong, is the direct result of Carter and Clinton touchy-feely - everyone is ENTITLED to home ownership, no money down, interest only payments - programs and policies of which both ... Sat, 27 Sep 2008 01:36:00 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/kudos_cal.html Cal Thomas today, has some things at least half right. Quoting Jeb Bush, past governor of Florida: "The republican party needs to stand for reform, within the context of the ideology of limited government." Yes, right on bro. But it is just too bad that the entire republican party completely forgot its own ideology during the past seven years. Why of course they lost numerical control of the house and senate. How and why? By trying to be non-partisan and cooperative with their sworn avowed ... Fri, 12 Sep 2008 22:25:51 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/again.html I must reply in regards to a very deceiving and deceitful Op-Ed in my daily commie rag: "McCain's convenient untruth when it comes to taxes." "Tax hikes, in other words, are not automatic job destroyers." Oh yes they most definitely are, over time, if not immediately. We only have to look at the infamous 1993 tax increase, which by 1999-2000 had the unemployment rate up to record levels, decreased (near stopped) economic activity to record lows, and nearly destroying US business and the st ... Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:49:35 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/real.html I had the most unfortunate experience of taking a friend to the hospital emergency room, and while waiting for her, being forced into watching about a half an hour of TV station MS-NBC, the last 15 minutes of a Rachael Meadows, and the first 15 minutes of a Keith Olbermann. I do not know what it is that these two are trying to convey, it is definitely not truthful, honest, and/or real news and information. But, they did not seem to be going for the all-out over the top weirdo pseudo-comedy ... Wed, 10 Sep 2008 03:41:04 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/moderation.html All of the Dem-Lib blathering bloviators are espousing about how wonderful it would be if MODERATE John McCain were to choose a Democrat (commie lib) as his VP running mate. Conversely, why would not this same push to moderation include Barack Obama and his VP running mate, such as Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee? Oh, moderate is only a one-way street, just for republicans to move towards democratisms(sic); there is no such thing as being a moderate in the democrat party; toe the line 100% or ... Sun, 24 Aug 2008 00:48:32 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/marriage_--_divorce.html A recent Op-Ed in my local commie rag caught my attention: "Divorce the Church from the State." This of course is a turn around on the U.S. Bill Of Rights issue to keep the "state" from interfering with the "church" or any person's choice of religion. In the marriage debate - gay vs. straight, do we not first have to determine and decide which entity has legal, not moral, priority, the church or the state? Is marriage only a religious rite/ritual? NOT!! Every marriage, whether performed in ... Wed, 23 Jul 2008 23:28:37 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/bad_sad.html I am replying to an Op-Ed in my local paper Friday 18, July 2008 - Kathleen Parker??maybe?? She was lamenting the age of do-it-yourself-ism. "Whine and cry""cry and whine" - come down off your high horse and join the real world of 90% of us Americans in fly over country. Those of us born and raised in the heartland of middle America - without our noses and/or our pinkies up in the air, have always had to do most everything for ourselves. Yes, this does include auto repair, not just pumping ... Tue, 22 Jul 2008 21:30:16 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/1215745945.html Each opposing side, the DNC and the RNC have won one, or better, we the people have really won with each of these bills. First, for the RNC, the FISA bill, which is as so named, Foreign Intelligence Surveillance - was being held up regarding the salivating possibility to sue (extort) communication's companies over their valued assistance to the government in thwarting terrorist activities. Sorry, but most of what was being intercepted is public airwaves (cell phone) transmissions, and is i ... Fri, 11 Jul 2008 03:12:25 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/hip_hip_hurrah.html IT now seems that GWB, and in affect, we the American people really did make an excellent decision with the appointment of Michael Mukasey as U.S.Attorney General. But I wish him lots of luck in his new endeavor, converting the FBI into something different and far beyond their current scope of operations. The FBI, lawyers and accountants - paper pushers - who hire the best scientists and evidence technicians anywhere and everywhere. The FBI has never been known to be anything but the absol ... Fri, 4 Jul 2008 02:43:49 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/david_broders_question.html Is America's national identity eroding under the pressure of population diversity and liberal education's lacking of patriotism? Knowing what America stands for must be learned, and passed on from one generation to the next. The ideas that define this country are found in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S.Constitution - BUT - as amplified, shaped, and molded by the Supreme Court's decisions. What is most evidenced today, by the many 5-4 Supreme Court decisions, is that we definit ... Thu, 3 Jul 2008 21:37:18 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/mad_.html Re: Washington Post columnist, and soul brother?, Eugene Robinson. He states that GWB's legacy on the world stage is defined by Abu Grhaib, Guantanamo, secret CIA prisons, and "water boarding." So, is he now admitting that there is nothing at all wrong or bad about the near 8 years of GWB? HUH!!! He is mentioning only many of the "good things" about GWB's term! So, what's his point?? GWB's public approval rating of only 30% is still twice that of congress's 15% approval rate. So, who is do ... Thu, 3 Jul 2008 00:24:48 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/ranting_raving.html Oh my, the Supreme Court Ruling of recent. The rape of young children does not merit the death penalty! So what? Death penalty = death = as in like its over with! Life in prison without the possibility of parole = the rest of the perps life in prison being punked by Brutus and Bluto. Which of these really is the most severe of "punishment"? And the biggy, finally the correct interpretation of the Constitution's Second Amendment; the individual person's right to own, keep, and bear (carry) ... Wed, 2 Jul 2008 01:37:39 GMT http://greasy.com/oldfatguy/say_what.html Hurrays to the GOP for derailing the Dumb-Lib "Windfall Profits Tax" which would not have lowered the price of gas even one penny, and/or would not have put one extra drop of gas more into the system. So just what do they, the DNC and George Soros, consider a windfall? The 5 US oil company's profits of course! Huge profits? Yes? As an overall industry average, they went from 4.1% up to 4.2% profit, a huge and massive increase of 0.1%. Let's put that into everyday perspective. If you earned ... Fri, 13 Jun 2008 02:58:53 GMT
