SansPretense

Some words of wisdom from one of our Founding Fathers:

“I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”

And, to drive the point “home”:

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

Those quotes are from Thomas Jefferson, found on a very interesting site. Seems the big city boys over in California and Oregon are neglectin’ some rural folks, who’ve had enough. So there are 51 counties who want to secede from their respective states to form the 51st state of the US. The state’s name: Jefferson, after you-know-who. I wish them luck in their movement to bring back self-government that looks after the interests of the people and not special interests. Hat tip to Conservative Grapevine, who linked to this SF Gate article about the movement to form Jefferson.

I don’t think I need to expand on how the banks and corporations and, mostly, Congress just screwed us out of $700 billion. However, in this case, the DIRECT cause of the crisis can be laid at the feet of Democrats. Even Saturday Night Live placed the blame where it needed to go (watch a copy of the skit here, while you can - though their server seems to be getting pounded from the Malkin link)…that is before the skit video mysteriously disappeared from history. According to others (via Michelle Malkin link that follows), Could it be the work of George Soros and his far-left comrades in their ongoing effort to silence the opposition? Probably…

Though, it wouldn’t surprise me if NBC made the decision on their own. Everyday more and more evidence comes out showing that the Main Stream Media is intentionally editing, censoring, and covering up anything that could hurt Barack Obama’s chances of getting elected (if you want more links, let me know). From Instapundit:

A READER AT A MAJOR NEWSROOM EMAILS: “Off the record, every suspicion you have about MSM being in the tank for O is true. We have a team of 4 people going thru dumpsters in Alaska and 4 in arizona. Not a single one looking into Acorn, Ayers or Freddiemae. Editor refuses to publish anything that would jeopardize election for O, and betting you dollars to donuts same is true at NYT, others. People cheer when CNN or NBC run another Palin-mocking but raising any reasonable inquiry into obama is derided or flat out ignored. The fix is in, and its working.” I asked permission to reprint without attribution and it was granted.

That also means making sure the Democrats don’t get blamed for this financial crisis, even though they are directly at fault. Here’s one of many examples: McCain has finally made a statement pointing the finger at the Democrats and Obama for this mess (he was apparently resisting out of fear of being labeled a racist, though, hell, every criticism against Obama is apparently racist). The L.A. Times covers this speech how? By cutting out the economics part and quoting Obama as saying that McCain is too scared to talk about the economy. When they get called out on it, how does the newspaper respond? By removing the story and replacing it (at the same URL/permalink) with a totally different story that’s not much better. Sound Orwellian? It should.

The real question is whether or not, come November, the public - that means all six of you reading this - buys into this fraud by voting for someone who has taken a page out of Stalin’s playbook (and here) or rejects it by voting for McCain, who has based his career on pissing everyone off (especially conservative Republicans) by doing what he believes to be right.
