One lies, one tells the truth

I find it amazing that a Politician finally tells the truth and people don't want to listen.  It is one of the biggest complaints we have.  Politicians don't tell the truth, now we have one.  My hat is off to Joe Walsh for standing up and telling the truth.

According to this article, video included:

"I don't want government meddling in the marketplace," Walsh said. "Yeah, they move from Goldman Sachs to the White House, I understand all of that. But you gotta’ be consistent. And it’s not the private marketplace that created this mess. What created mess was your government, which has demanded for years that everybody be in a home. And we’ve made it easy as possible for people to be in homes."

To back up his claim that the government is the problem not the solution to our problems is this article:

Fannie Mae, the biggest source of money for U.S. home loans, on Tuesday said it needed a further $7.8 billion in federal aid to stay afloat as a shaky housing market widened its third-quarter loss to $5.1 billion.

Given the crucial role the two play in U.S. housing finance, owning or guaranteeing about half of all mortgages, the government has pledged unlimited funds to keep the firms afloat through the end of 2012. Combined, they have cost taxpayers around $169 billion.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were created by Congress to encourage homeownership. They buy mortgages from lenders and repackage them as securities for investors, with a guarantee, to ensure a steady source of home loan funds.

Now to Eric Holder.  It is just my opinion, based on all that I have seen and read, this man is either incompetent or is lying.  According to this article,

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on Tuesday claimed that he never received any of the memos about Operation "Fast and Furious," that were sent to him dating back to July 2010

Under grilling from Sen. John Cornyn during his Senate Judiciary committee testimony, Holder claimed that though the memos had his name on them, he never received them because his staff made the determination that they did not warrent his attention

I would think that with that many guns going to Mexico and that big of an operation he should have known about it. How could he not know?

To add insult to injury, Holder stated:

"It's not fair to suggest" the Fast and Furious program "led to the death of Agent Terry."

In this article,

In addition to refusing to come clean on exactly when he first knew of Fast and Furious (and what he knew), Holder also had the gall to tell the Senate Judiciary Committee that the real issue they needed to focus on was “the battle to stop the flow of illegal guns to Mexico.” In other words, what we should be focusing on here is the need for gun control in order to keep the Southern border safe. To that end, Holder said the ATF should receive increased powers via the increased “resources and statutory tools it needs to be effective.”

I disagree with Holder on the need for more gun control.  I believe that everyone who lives on the border should be allowed to own a gun, if they wish, in order to protect themselves, their families and their property.  Our Federal government refuses to see the problem, so it is up to the citizens to do what the government won't do if they choose to.  Instead of fighting the states that are trying to do what the government refuses to do, our government should enforce the laws they put in place.

The Black Panthers

I read an article today that stated; "Outraged by the bloodshed from multiple shootings at a birthday party in Brooklyn on Sunday night and at an apartment complex in New Town on Tuesday afternoon, the New Black Panther Party spoke out Wednesday, calling for an end to the violence."  Read the story here.

I find it very interesting and concerning at the same time.  You have the Congressional Black Caucus calling Tea Party members racist.  Granted, most Tea Party members are white, but, there are also blacks that are members. Watch the video.
Congressional Black Causus on "Racist Tea Party"

Also the Black Panther leader, King Samir Shabazz, does not hesitate to say that "he hates white people".  He even calls for their deaths.  We also have this "leader" showing other Black Panther members how to fight with guns and machetes.  Watch the videos.  Black Panther leader.  Black Survival Part 1 Black Survival Part 2  Black Survival Part 3.

I have written about being prepared many times in my blog.  I can't stress enough how much I believe that we should prepare ourselves for anything and hope for the best.  No one has a crystal ball to see what the future holds, including me, but, if you look at all the pieces to the puzzle you will see things beginning to take shape.  We should not rely on our government to take care and protect us.  That is our constitutional right, and we should be the ones that look out for ourselves, our family, and our property.

The Black Panthers are not the only ones we must look out for, but, for terrorist coming over here. "According to a report in Italy's respected Corriere della Sera Wednesday, three Hezbollah terrorists operating out of Mexico have left that country to establish a permanent "bridgehead" to the communist island, calling their clandestine operation "The Caribbean Dossier."

"Twenty-three other terrorists from the Iran-linked terror group are expected to join the operation, which has a startup budget of more than $500,000. Corriere reported that the mission in Cuba is to provide logistical support for upcoming terrorist attacks planned in the hemisphere."  Read the article here.

I urge you to watch the videos and judge for yourself.  The Black Panthers are preparing.  Are you?
