John Stossel On "Crony Capitalism" - Video

If you like John Stossel's work on ABC, he's now on Fox Business channel with an hour long show that is pretty good and worth a look if you didn't know. These are actually videos from yesterday's show and they're good, which is about to be replayed in full here at 6 pm sat night on FBN.

It's about how capitalism when hijacked with Chicago style cronyism (my characterization) enters Washington DC what we're left with is "bastardized crony Capitalism"

 Fox's video servers s have been  shit  all weekend keeping the site from loading , so here's the link to the page to view them

The fight is on to return to "true capitalism" if it can even be achieved with all the criminal element that's been introduced to it on both sides of the aisle in our government. One that's veered so severely off track it can't even really be called a "republic" at this time many would argue, me included. Only, the right has culled it's "old guard" crooks from office for the most part and will continue through the year into November,  so now it's time for the left to cull theirs.

Seeing Christopher Dodd and Ted Kennedy gone is a great start but the worst are still in office and we know all their names and numbers.

10 Ways to Stop Political Corruption in Illinois | Illinois Policy Institute - Blog

After this weekend this post from WLS am talker and Illinois Policy Institute man Jerry Agar is more apropos as the democrats vote on a bill in the middle of the night seizing control of conservatively 1/6 of our economy of which we have no control over 3 trillion projected dollars of ours and how they're spent.

These are ten great ideas from Jerry intended for Illinois but would be great to see adopted across the country immediately, which we know can't happen until November 2010. (at least in a peaceful manner that is)

Anyhow it's well worth the read.

10 Ways to Stop Political Corruption in Illinois:

Illinois Policy Institute - Blog - "Okay, so it is a bit ambitious to assert that we could stop corruption, but perhaps we could cut into it a bit.

Since 1970, more than 1500 individuals have been convicted, and the cost to Illinois taxpayers is estimated at $500 million a year. If we had that money back, instead of just watching an endless perp-walk, we would be in much better shape on several levels.

Here are ten ideas that, if acted upon, might help.

10. Appoint the Sunshine Commission. Governor Quinn signed an executive order establishing a Sunshine Commission, stating that as 'Governor of the State of Illinois, it is my duty to ensure accountability, transparency and efficiency in the State's operations, streamlining, restructuring and economization are essential to any effort to solve our budgetary problems.' He signed the order and then didn’t do anything about it. So it’s essentially useless.

9. Pass the “Fumigation Bill.” The House passed it, but Senate President John Cullerton killed it. It would have removed 750 high-ranking state employees and members of boards and commissions who were appointed by Blagojevich and Ryan. The idea is to weaken the ability of unelected patronage appointees to conduct scams such as the Hired Truck Scandal.

8. Term limits. It is the quest for re-election that drives many politicians. They spend much – perhaps most – of their time fundraising. Additionally, power corrupts, and power is built over time. Term limits would also bring about the beginning of the end of machine politics in Chicago."

We'll See if Steele's vow to take Obama 'head-on' Transfers To The Lame Republicans Scared Of The False Idol

He talks a good game here and we'll have to see if the Republicans actually have the nads to follow up and start really tripping up Obama's socialist act like the dems did while they were in the minority, extending the Iraq war for 5 more years than necessary for starters

This comes from Politico minutes ago

Andy Barr - POLITICO.com: "Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele vowed Tuesday that the GOP will confront President Barack Obama more aggressively and directly, regardless of his popularity in the polls.We are going to take the president head-on. The honeymoon is over. The two-party system is making a comeback, and that comeback starts today,” Steele said in remarks to an RNC meeting in Maryland.

“The president is personally popular. Pity the fool who paid for a poll to figure that out,” Steele said. “So…what’s the loyal opposition to do with this popular president? We are going to speak truth to power. We are going to speak directly, and we are going to take him on.”

Steele said that he has heard from many advisors suggesting that he take on less popular Democrats than the president, but the RNC chair said that the party will no longer “avoid confronting” Obama.

“They suggest that instead we should go after Nancy Pelosi, whom nobody likes. Or Harry Reid, whom nobody knows. Or this Tim Geithner fellow, whom nobody believes. Or maybe even Barney Frank, whom nobody understands,” he said.

“We are going to challenge those policies that we believe are wrong, and we are going to do so without apology and without a second thought.”Read more

Rep. Steve Israel & "Right-Wing Radio Spreads Flu Lies" Myth & Attacks

First let's look at what the left is calling a concerted attack by conservatives to blame the current Swine Flu debacle on Mexico which last time I checked is the country responsible for infecting the Americans and others who felt compelled to visit that hellhole and instead of bringing back T Shirts they brought back the Swine Flu.. But here's the left wing out of context drivel from the left supplied by Media Matters a few days ago...


Then things were compounded by a letter sent to media outlets by a New York Lawyer turned politcal shyster up in New York named Steve Israel which led to the suspension of talk show host Jay Severin to the delight of the media silencers on the left who work hand in hand with the MSM and soon the White House and Congress to silence all opposing opinions from conservatives only media outlet besides Fox and the internet, of coars Talk Radio..

Rep. Steve Israel: Right-Wing Radio Spreads Flu Lies:

"The last thing our country needs is radio hosts spreading dangerous misinformation about the flu outbreak. But that's exactly what we're getting thanks to people like Michael Savage, Jay Severin and Neal Boortz. These right-wing demagogues are targeting America's immigrant community and trying to turn a possible pandemic into politics.

This is simply deplorable and seriously dangerous.

A few days ago on his show, Michael Savage said, 'Make no mistake about it: Illegal aliens are the carriers of the new strain of human-swine avian flu from Mexico.' That is nothing more than fear-mongering and race-baiting in search of ratings. This is exactly the type of rhetoric that fuels discrimination and violence, and those violent acts are why last night the House voted to pass the Hate Crimes Bill. Apparently that wasn't enough of a signal to these guys that they've lost and tolerance and unity have won, but we'll keep fighting.

We can't afford to make this serious health emergency into a conservative radio circus. Americans need to stay calm and informed by listening to their doctors and our public health officials. And I'm asking Michael Savage, Jay Severin, Neal Boortz, and anyone who would repeat their arguments to stop now. Stop spreading these lies and work with us to keep Americans healthy and safe."

Here's Savage's response Thursday on his daily radio show which is typical rant from Savage which is why I listen as often as I can along with the others in the left sidebar of this blog....



Well that speaks for itself.. now back to Israel's letter which in closing remarked the following:

"Stop spreading these lies and work with us to keep Americans healthy and safe.".

Work with a man from New York of all frickin places who refuses to close our borders and attacks American's like Savage fighting every day to just that. Imbecilic lawyer up there padding his pockets looking to make a national name for himself is all this prick is.

A man who works part and parcel with the legislators in Washington who refuse to close the borders is imploring upon talk radio to keep this country safe? I agree with Savage and his assessment here of the moronic New York so called legislator, who instead of protecting Americans spends his time defending Illegal immigrants and spreading his left wing hatred towards people on the right.

People who refuse to grab their ankles for the left wing PC police, who are allowing our country to be turned into a third world shithole by refusing to close our southern borders to all the people of all races creeds and religions pouring in here like the water over the levee's in NOLA during Katrina.

Then today this comes out, only a third of the infected visited "Mehico" so it's entirely plausible and very possible the virus was picked up by the other 2/3rds being exposed to Illegals or legal Mexican's who were recently in the country, So once again the liberal scare mongers could be wrong and the Savage type supporters as right as rain...

My Way News - CDC says a third of US flu cases visited Mexico: "ATLANTA (AP) - About a third of the confirmed U.S. cases of swine flu are people who had been to Mexico and likely picked up the infection there, a federal health official said Saturday.

But investigations indicate many cases are getting the illness here, and that it probably still is spreading, said Dr. Anne Schuchat of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

Time To Kick Dodd To The Curb, Then To Prison / New Website Check, FoxNation.com

This is one of the topics flaming this morning on Fox News' new website and Forum called Fox Nation which will certainly will be a hot spot for conservative's who may not be so adept or used to perusing the blogosphere to comment and join the new town sqaure as much as we do.

It will undoubtedly attract hardcore bloggers like myself as well, along with the small army of other fine bloggers and friends who you can always see and visit from the links in my sidebar

So check this article about Chris "Don't call me Countrywide" Dodd and see how finally his "slow on the uptake" constituents are appearing to finally want to take his filthy, cheating and stealing ass out to the curb with yesterday's garbage, where he belongs without a doubt and has for a long long time.

Although the site doesn't officially go live for another hour or so, click the pic up top and go join in to start commenting along with the others who've already knocked the site offline for a few minutes today, according to the Fox and Friends folks who brought this to my attention this morning.

Dodd's Troubles Open Debate on Congress' Ties With Special Interests -

FOXNews.com: "Just two years ago, Christopher Dodd was a popular U.S. senator from Connecticut doing what ambitious lawmakers with long and distinguished careers in Congress have always done -- run for president.

But now, with his political career on the rocks after numerous controversies, Dodd has become the poster boy for critics who say the inevitable ties between longtime members of Congress and special interests are undermining efforts to revive the economy.

'He literally thinks he's going to play a critical role from saving us from ourselves,' Christopher Healy, the Republican Party chairman in Connecticut, said of the Democratic senator.

'It's like putting the arsonist in charge of the volunteer fire department. He knows where the fire is because he set it. But beyond that, he can't offer much help.'

Dodd is now flailing to save his 35-year congressional career in the swirling wake of an amendment he authored in the $787 billion stimulus package. That amendment, signed into law by President Obama, grandfathered in bonuses that would have been cut off by the bill but had already been promised to employees of companies that received government bailout money." continued
