Crabby Blogging Lady

Well, looky here I must be starting a new thing– I’ve got some GOOD news to report. I’ll wait right here until you recover from the shock.

The news?

Ron Paul getting is actually GETTING some attention!!! The media blackout of the guy has been stunning. FINALLY, he’s making waves. The big attention getter was his announcement that he would slash a ton of federal jobs and balance the budget in THREE years. That even got Rush Limbaugh marveling. It’s ABOUT TIME.

Now I know why small businesses are skittish.

I’m very concerned about our economy. Oh, we’ve known since the late 1990s that it was going to all come crashing down. You can only import SO MUCH from China and manufacture NOTHING toward exports before you go insolvent. And that’s only a tiny part of the problem.

So I’m needing a new laptop and I see a sweet little deal online. One of the best deals I’ve ever seen, actually. But gosh darn it, I can’t find the courage to hit the “Buy now” button. I’m just so nervous about the economy. I know God will provide for us (give us this day our daily bread), but if I blow so much money on a laptop and then things go south, how can I face Him? I’m just not convinced this is the best time to buy such a thing….

I’ve heard economists lamenting the fact that businesses are loathe to spend any money, because they are nervous about the new year’s taxes kicking in and such. Man, I feel that way exactly. It’s so risky to buy anything BIG. Things are that tenuous.

Or, maybe I’m just listening to the talking heads too much. Maybe things are not as bad as they seem. Maybe the housing industry will bounce back, and maybe the currency and economy will bounce back…. although I don’t see how that will happen. This downfall has taken a few decades to do, with lots of entangling policy tied into it. To extricate our country from this disaster will take a ton of work.

I don’t know HOW Mr. Crabby does it. He can watch those debates and the news and walk away with his blood pressure relatively under control. Me, I’m about to explode.

PLEASE, dear Lord, allow this man to become president. Make some kind of miracle.

Did you see what Ron Paul said he was going to do? Eliminate five Cabinet-level departments, bring the American soldiers back home, and SLASH taxes. He says his plan will totally eliminate the national debt in THREE YEARS.

*on knees, praying*

Oh please oh please….

Can you imagine what would happen to our country should we balance the federal budget?! We’d — like — have FREEDOM again in this country. Imagine no more “wars” abroad! Imagine no extortion-level taxes! Imagine the economy coming back, manufacturing coming back, terrific houses for rent, houses for sale, the whole housing industry bouncing back!!!

Oh PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE…

Holy cow, this headline and accompanying news is disgusting: Dollar Tumbles on Uncertainty About U.S. Debt Talks. And they say WOMEN are emotional?! Helloooooooo..

So investors are skittish because our stupid government can’t get their act straight. Well, someone please tell me how this is news?! What SHOULD make the large headlines is when U.S. politicians finally get off their fat butts and honor their oath to defend, protect and adhere to the U.S. Constitution! How’s them apples? And how about investors show a little ADULT temperance and stop whining like little babies because things are not superduper peachy keen this very moment?

Anyway, I really can’t get over how so self-absorbing the money lenders are. And the media feeds it. REPORTING THIS MINUTE: Warren Buffet hiccups– investors are nervous! STOCKS CRASH 3 points when Obama’s teleprompter shuts down! Blah blah blah.

Do we really need another thing to be worried about?

Can you believe the GALL of TIME magazine?! Their JULY 4th edition?!?! I am so sick of these people. Look at TIME’s cover. Tell me if this doesn’t make your blood boil blue.

Does it still matter?!??!! Hello, does LAW and ORDER still matter?! What is TIME trying to pull? This in anarchy, this is treason. They are undermining our rule of law, not to mention our freedoms!!!

What do you think Mr. Paul Revere, hmmm?

Yeah, I’d be hollering to everyone that the traitors are a-comin’!

How about you, Mr. Sam Adams, do you think the Constitution still matters?

 

The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

How about you, Mr. Alexander Hamilton, what do you have to say?

Constitutions of civil government are not to be framed upon a calculation of existing exigencies, but upon a combination of these with the probable exigencies of ages, according to the natural and tried course of human affairs. Nothing, therefore, can be more fallacious than to infer the extent of any power, proper to be lodged in the national government, from an estimate of its immediate necessities.

And how about you, my dear, dear Mr. George Washington. What say you?

Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples’ liberty’s teeth.

Dude, now we’re talking, LOL.

You know what’s REALLY funny? The media is trying to dismantle the very freedoms that the Constitution gives them. In the normal world we call something like that insanity.

Anyway, kooks will always resist the amazing liberties we have in our form of government. I love our country, I love our way of government (the original way). In America, we have the freedom to write what we please on our blogs, to have a say in how we are legislated, to petition the feds is they are being tyrannical, to buy archery supplies from any store we want, to speak publicly and enjoy the MANY MANY blessings we have here.

GOD BLESS AMERICA.

And YES, the Constitution DOES STILL MATTER.

Gee, part of me feels sorry for the guy, but most of me feels really disgusted.

Ed Schultz of MSNBC apologized for calling Laura Ingraham a “talk show radio slut” on the air.

That really is unconscionable. Really. Schultz apologized, but his apology still rings a little fake to me…

“On my radio show yesterday, I used vile and inappropriate language when talking about talk show host Laura Ingraham. I am deeply sorry, and I apologize. It was wrong, uncalled for and I recognize the severity of what I said. I apologize to you, Laura and ask for your forgiveness. It doesn’t matter what the circumstances were. It doesn’t matter that it was on radio and I was ad libbing. none of that matters. none of that matters. What matters is what I said was terribly vile…

Now why did he make that exception: “It doesn’t matter that it was on radio and I was ad libbing”? No it doesn’t matter AT ALL. Why mention it? It doesn’t even matter if you, Mr. Schultz, REALLY think Ingraham IS a slut or not. She’s NOT. And you had no right to say such a thing, even if you “messed up” because you were ad libbing. Not at a party, not while shopping for hot tub covers, never. Slander is serious stuff.

Anyway, the guy lost his job. Which is sad. I mean, it’s sad for anyone to lose their job. But Schultz took it like a man. And it is definitely a signal to others that just because someone is a liberal and/or has a high-ranking job protected by a lot of rich mucky-mucks doesn’t mean you can go around slandering people’s character because you don’t like their opposing ideas.
