This is my last post i had begun Feb. 18 and was still actualized so you can find a lot news in one site and not only my own new picture (art) of course. What is to find there in addition for example:

Yes we can!
Not a business was stirring, not large corporationsTheir requests had been sent to Congress with care
In hopes that Pelosi, or Reid, would give them a share The CEO’s had their hopes set on the Fed
And visions of bonuses danced in their headsI was at home, full of hope and wonder
At the thought of big companies not going under.
Then out on the street there arose such a clatter,I looked out the window to see what was the matter.On the street was a hay wagon, making its way
Not the usual wagon, filled with bales of hay.
No, this one, (and I know this sounds funny),
Was filled instead with bales full of money.
With a very old driver, so morose and deadpan,
That I knew in a flash it was Alan Greenspan
There was a small note, stuck to each cash bale
With the name of a company too big to fail.
His wagon was drawn by eight sleek mega-bucksAnd he shouted their names as he whipped their buttocks “Now Paulson, Bernanke, Now Rubin and Volcker
On Krugman, On Samuelson, Kudlow and Cramer,To the next company’s holiday retreat! So I can deposit a bale at the revelers’ feet"And so the wagon continued on,Until the last bail-out bales were gone.Greenspan then to his team gave a whistle,And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.And as they flew way up into the sky,
Alan cried, “I must see Ayn Rand once more ‘fore I die.”And I heard him exclaim as they flew into the night"Happy bail-outs to all, and to none, oversight!"
Will The Fairness Doctrine Silence The Conservative Voice?

I have just taken action to stop the attacks on our Free Speech Rights, and I'm asking that you join with me by clicking here: Will The Fairness Doctrine Silence The Conservative Voice? + + Will The Fairness Doctrine Silence The Conservative Voice? Will 2009 usher in a fanatical push to re-instate the so-called Fairness Doctrine? Such a move would effectively silence the conservative voice and remove the last conservative stronghold against a fast-moving liberal agenda. James & Lydia, One need only read the words of Dianne Feinstein to see the true threat to conservative speech that is brewing on the horizon!" Talk radio tends to be one-sided. It also tends to be dwelling in hyperbole. It's explosive. It pushes people to, I think, extreme views without a lot of information ... I'm looking at the [Fairness Doctrine]... Unfortunately, talk radio is overwhelmingly one way." Recognizing this threat, the Media Research Center has created the Free Speech Alliance which is a coalition of organizations and citizens strongly opposed to any such move to limit or undermine our Free Speech Rights!

Given the exceptional knowledge of detail that many, if not most of those reading this post have I’m going to present it in outline form.
Imagine you are suddenly thrust into an entirely public, search lights full blast, blaring audio, moment in which you are told that unless you act the global economy collapses and America is the cause. Imagine some thug from Goldman Sachs shoves a terse document in your face and says ‘do this or the 2008 version of the great depression will happen and you caused it.’
Imagine millions of Americans are suddenly confronted with another dose of mega-fear. What do you do? Well, if you are both strategically brilliant and tactically skillful you do exactly what Obama, Pelosi, Reid & Frank have done during the past two weeks.
Firstly, you recognize the timing and the intended impact on the impending first debate between Obama and McCain.
You recognize that should you refuse to do everything you can to be responsive to the crisis, and explicitly open to dialogue with Republicans, as to reach a necessarily bi-partisan agreement you will be called everything from traitor to terrorist.
You recognize that if you immediately begin informing the public that the three page manifesto you had trust in your face amounts to nothing less than further ravage of the Constitution and poison to any hope of real economic recovery, you will likely see the vast majority of Americans being rambunctiously against “Wall St. welfare.’
You recognize that if you structure your responses as a transformation of Paulson’s trash into a framework of responsible containment of the supposed “crisis” you will have established the high-ground knowing full well that you have primed two critical responses.
One of those critical responses is that you recognized that the vast number of Republican incumbents would have very little chance of winning on 4 Nov 2008 if they supported the plan.
Knowing that, you would have realized that you could easily have a significant number of House Democratic members vote yes without risk, thus diffusing any claim that the Democratic Party was unwilling to support an albeit lame and dishonest Republican President.
Knowing that. you would have painted the Republican members of the House in exactly the picture the entire world saw – they, for the first time in eight years, broke with their President because they knew that if they voted yes – ostensibly the heroic action that the “crisis” demanded – they would be crucified on 4 Nov 2008. Politics trumped serving the good of Americans – and its all the Republican members of the House’s fault.
Any money I have left for the year goes to the real defenders of the Constitution...

No more to Barack or anything that will fund the cowards Nancy Pelosi (DCCC) and Harry Reid (DSCC). He'll get my vote in Novemeber and that is all.
JUST SAY NO TO APPEASEMENT!

David Brooks, in yesterday's New York Times, said it best -- http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/25/opinion/25brooks.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
HRC is unelectable:
Excerpted from, Hillary's List of Lies, realclearpolitics.com, March 26, 2008, by Dick Morris:Hillary simply cannot tell the truth. Here’s her scorecard:Admitted Lies• Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. (She was in bed watching it on TV.)• Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. (She admitted she was wrong. He climbed Mt. Everest five years after her birth.)• She was under sniper fire in Bosnia. (A girl presented her with flowers at the foot of the ramp.)• She learned in The Wall Street Journal how to make a killing in the futures market. (It didn’t cover the market back then.)Whoppers She Won’t Confess To • She didn’t know about the FALN pardons.• She didn’t know that her brothers were being paid to get pardons that Clinton granted.• Taking the White House gifts was a clerical error.• She didn’t know that her staff would fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.• She didn’t know that the Peter Paul fundraiser in Hollywood in 2000 cost $700,000 more than she reported it had.• She opposed NAFTA at the time.• She was instrumental in the Irish peace process.• She urged Bill to intervene in Rwanda.• She played a role in the ’90s economic recovery.• The billing records showed up on their own.• She thought Bill was innocent when the Monica scandal broke.• She was always a Yankees fan.• She had nothing to do with the New Square Hasidic pardons (after they voted for her 1,400-12 and she attended a meeting at the White House about the pardons).• She negotiated for the release of refugees in Macedonia (who were released the day before she got there).With a record like that, is it any wonder that we suspect her of being less than honest and straightforward?
HRC is shameless:
Having stoked the Dr. Wright controversy behind the scenes, having tried to minimize Barack Obama's candidacy by likening him to failed black candidates of the past, having questioned his patriotism by omission, and having branded some who endorse him as Judas-like traitors, the Clinton campaign is now screaming bloody murder because we have likened former President Bill Clinton to Joseph McCarthy, dared to mention his unfortunate history with Monica Lewinsky, and pointed out Senator Hillary Clinton's repeated lack of candor and loose relationship with the truth. Well ... well, it seems that Senator Clinton can dish it out but she can't take it. Why is it "dirty politics" to remind the voters that by electing Hillary Clinton to the Whitehouse they would usher in another Clinton era that included the bitter with the sweet. Why is it illegitimate to point out that HRC, like her husband, is not only a tenacious politician but an accomplished shader of the truth and that the price we would have to pay for the possibility of another Clintonian economic recovery would be the certainty of Clintonian politics with all its mendacity? From Bosnia to Northern Ireland, from S-Chip to NAFTA, with HRC, we cannot be sure of what the meaning of is really is.
Dear Pastor Wright:Thank you so much for your kind message.I am touched by your prayers and by the many expressions of encouragement and support I have received from friends across our country. You have my best wishes.
Sincerely,Bill Clinton
Given the foregoing, perhaps Chelsea Clinton should answer the question about whether her mother's credibility should be questioned given the Monica Lewinsky scandal and -- oh yeah -- that extremely dangerous trip to Bosnia.
After seven years of Bush, the safe bet is to assume that change = good. But there is a crisis developing in the Senate today where change = very, very bad. Democrats Harry Reid, working in conjunction with Jay Rockefeller, are facilitating the passage of the Senate Intelligence Committee amendment bill to the FISA act, granting retroactive immunity to those telecommunications companies that allowed the Bush administration full, unfettered access to ALL customer data without a warrant in direct violation of FISA and the Constitution.
