Once again, the GOP has shown its lack of understanding of the issues, their inability to articulate a sound position in a clear manner to the public, and their willingness to participate in another shafting of the American public. In this case, there were clear violations of existing policies and procedures put in place to keep this situation from happening. The principle responsible parties (PRP’s) for the meltdown were Barney Frank, Christopher Dodd, Tim Geithner, Barack Obama and the friendly folks at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack. In my opinion, these violations of the law and of fiduciary responsibilities were deliberate in order to create a climate favorable to another power grab by the Federal government. Yes, some reform is required, but it is more akin to slight modifications as opposed to the creation of more federal agencies and intensified far-reaching law. At this rate, the Republican Party may as well merge with the Democrats and get the damned charade over with. They can name their new party "The Progressive Socialist Party" which certainly is most descriptive. TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Due to lack of time, and because I have something important to say, I’m not doing the usual Q and A today. I was called for Jury Duty in the Shasta County Superior Court. After having been selected for a Courtroom and initial panel, I was eventually excused on a preemptory challenge by the Defense Attorney yesterday. The trial is in the beginning stages in Department 7 under Superior Court Judge Stephen Baker. Although I was dismissed and actually would have enjoyed serving because I have the rare time right now to do so, I would like to compliment this Judge for the manner in which he runs the Courtroom and the clear and fair explanations he gives to a jury as the process begins and as jury questioning proceeds. I think that any trial in that Court will be run fairly in all respects. If you ever have the opportunity to serve, do it with pride and honor. Our system of justice may have its faults, but it is still the fairest in the entire world.
I did not spend two days there without coming home with some important and pertinent knowledge. George W. Bush became the first Judge in the newly formed 2nd Department of the Superior Court of Shasta County in 1905. Perhaps that explains why he sometimes seemed senile while he was in the White House.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
"The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; 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. It will bring a mark of everlasting 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 designing men." ~ Samuel AdamsTODAY’S VIDEO:
