Scenario – Camp David Peace Accords between Egypt and Israel. The treaty is signed. Period
Now, we find out that every year, we’ve been giving money (not minimal, either – around 1 billion per year) to Egypt (during Mubarak regime) in order to keep the peace and enforce the treaty.
Of course, now that Hamas is in rule there (excuse me, Muslim Brotherhood), this peace is likely to be in danger and the heretofor agreements thrown aside.
If we’re doing deals like this, no wonder we’re in so much debt.
OK – you didn’t want to ‘raise taxes’ on the multi-millionaires. Ok, I get that. You’re in their back pockets and you don’t want a bumpy ride.
But, at the same time, you seem to have have no problem raising our taxes (speaking as one of the ‘little’ people)?
You people can’t agree on anything and I think BOTH sides are worthless at this point. Can I afford an extra $1000 a year, just so you can go on providing us NOTHING?
NO!!
Now that’s what I call taxation without representation!
I think it’s time for a revolution, albeit peaceful – Vote Them All Out!! (website coming soon)
PS: What would George say?
First off, to understand this entry, go here:
http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/muslims-want-catholic-school-to-provide-room-without-crosses.html
This is utterly absurd. If you don’t believe what the university believes and stands on, then don’t go to that school!
Why are muslims even wanting to go to a private Catholic University anyway? They knew up front that a Catholic University was on the opposite side of the spectrum from their belief system.
If I go to France, I will try to conform with France’s way of doing things – I would never expect them to change to my country’s way of doing things. I can’t go into my local department store and say that since they don’t sell cars, it’s violating my rights.
This is not a Human Rights issue – it’s a stupidity issue. And, if that university bends, or is forced to accomodate the beliefs of another religion, then that will be the start of the downfall of the US.
As it turns out, Texas is the ONLY state in which, when you purchase what is called a ‘cash-out’ type of mortgage (pay off bills with a refinance), then, from that point on, forever, that’s the classification of the loan. You can never change that with a new mortagage loan.
I got one of those mortgages 7 years ago. Now, I want to refinance with a better interest rate and a 15 year term. I currently have a 6 percent loan and my bank was willing to refinance my existing mortgage with a 15 year, 4.357 rate mortage. I could have started it the day I called them on the phone, with no problem.
However due to the classification, I could not do it. The new mortgage would need to be the same, the interest rate would be higher, and I would need to have a much higher credit score for qualification.
Thanks a Lot Texas Legislature (NOT)!!!!

Secretary Clinton recently said (from CNN):
“Clinton, who is set to testify before Congress Thursday, said the Libyan opposition has made “very clear progress” in its political organization as well as in its fight against Moammar Gadhafi’s forces.
“But the bottom line is, whose side are you on?” she said, speaking to reporters during a trip to Jamaica Wednesday. “Are you on Gadhafi’s side or are you on the side of the aspirations of the Libyan people and the international coalition that has been created to support them?”
I’m on the side of the United States - and I say get out of there. We have no business being there and our country needs the money which is being spent there much more.
We’re already spending too much money (IMHO) on building infrastructure in other countries when our infrastructure is crumbling here.

I posted this on my website and on Facebook, so I thought I should post it here also, to complete the triad, as such:
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, you’re a mile away from them and you have their shoes

So, if it only takes 10 minutes to fill out the paperwork and 20 minutes for the nurses to check everything and insert an IV, why are we still waiting, 2 hours after they told us to be here?

Ok, now we’re in Libya?
IMHO, we are doing too much as it is. I think it’s a valiant thing we do trying to protect the world against itself. However we can’t keep doing it. We have too many problems going on homeside, hunger, poverty, etc.
