Are they dusting off FDR’s old favorites?

Happy Days are here again?
Smile and the World Smiles with you?
You’re Never Dressed without a SMILE?

How about broadcasting Shirley Temple movies 24/7?

"Fascism is a radical, authoritarian nationalist ideology that aims to create a single-party state with a government led by a dictator who seeks national unity and development by requiring individuals to subordinate self-interest to the collective interest of the nation or race."

Sound familiar?

Yeah, and I’d be kinda worried about that too...

Especially when your “therapist” suggests you drop trou and lie on your stomach on the couch.

It’s against the law to take advantage of a patient, but some of ‘em do it anyway...

Uh oh... I’ve had those symptoms since, oh, about Nov. 4th, 2008.

Hey, maybe I can get me some “free victim money” from the gubmint or something.

I don’t cry or gnash my teeth over the economy. I cry and gnash my teeth over a bunch of facist commies destroying my country.

A dose of getting rid of them would perk me right up though.

Too late...mental illness is what caused this whole dog and pony show. And the government has no idea just how excessively irritated and angry people are, IMO.

I'm wondering if they won't be asking people to report names of others they suspect have the criteria Drudge listed...

This quote from Wikepedia on the Holocaust lists:
quote
“Other groups were also persecuted and killed, including ethnic Poles, the Romani, Soviet civilians, Soviet prisoners of war, the disabled, homosexual men and political and religious opponents.[3] Most scholars, however, define the Holocaust as a genocide of European Jewry alone,[4] or what the Nazis called the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question.” The total number of victims of Nazi genocidal policies, including Poles, Romani, Soviet POW, and the handicapped is generally agreed to be between 9 and 11 million.[5”

They mentioned lines were made to left (gas chamber) and to right (slave labor)....makes you wonder all the concern about everyone’s mental state and how they take stress?

I remember when Rush was joking about PEST(Post Election Stress Trauma) in 2004 when Kerry lost. The moonbats were running to their shrinks in great numbers.

In 2009, the conservatives are finding comfort in their religion and guns.

They won’t apologize (or commit suicide) for having caused the problem but they will tell you how to get counseling.

We’ve gone from ‘I feel your pain’ to ‘I’m causing your pain (but you can get counseling)’.

How about just stop causing the economy to be so unstable and we can all be a lot less crazy/anxious/depressed/nervous/irate/etc?

Robert Chapman: America Potentially The Next Weimar or Argentina

Excerpt From a Very Good Article:

* * * Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner tells us we are in a recession that will last for some time. Ben Bernanke, Federal Reserve Chairman says the economy would bottom this year. We do not think Ben is right but even if he was right he didn’t tell us how long we would bump along the bottom. If the bottom is in sight and Citigroup, GE, Hartford Insurance Lincoln Insurance, AIG, GM and Chrysler, etc. won’t need any more government funding. In fact banks are telling us they are going to make money in the first quarter.

If all this is so, why is Mr. Bernanke monetizing $300 billion of Treasuries. We notice he has made no statement regarding the secret monetization that has been going on for four months. Needless to say, that is another state secret.

He might also explain why there was enormous call buying in bond futures options over the three days prior to the announcement on Wednesday. Obviously there was a major leak to the anointed on Wall Street. * * *

These policies will continue to extend the time line for a collapse. Even Alan Greenspan says $1 trillion is not enough to remedy the financial system and economic ills. Here we are on the threshold of going Weimar, as free trade and globalization, collapses perpetual currency devaluations take place and virulent inflation stalks the world, a hyperinflation that will destroy all but the very rich, who will in the end beg for their lives. * * *

The idiot builders are at it again. Lots of condos will hit the market this year, as Fannie Mae has added new restrictions. They won’t guarantee condo buildings where less than 70% have been sold, up from 51%. They won’t back loans for sales where 15% of current delinquencies on association fees or where more than 10% of units are owned by single-entity.

Bill Gross, Chief Investment Officer at PIMCO says the Fed’s purchase of Treasuries and toxic mortgage garbage will probably exceed $6 trillion.

As we have said before the so-called solutions are being performed by the same criminals who caused all these problems in the first place. All we see is compounding problems.

It is incredible that the central bank has not been held accountable. Washington’s fiscal policy and the policies of the privately owned Fed are completely out of control. The only real objective of Treasury and the Fed is to save the cabal that really controls our existence and that is Wall Street, banking and insurance.

Our money Masters tell us there is little inflation and they supply us with bogus statistics to prove it. They tell us the trillions in guaranteed government debt will not cause inflation, which currently is 9% to 10%, and is headed toward Weimar proportions. * * *

Needles to say, I agree with Mr. Chapman. Bernanke and Geithner are setiing all of us up for the Amero . Oh, well. I told you so.

LOL, LOL !

The webpage is up and running, as I write this.

Down at the bottom of the page is this (and no, I am NOT making this up):

Special Note to Journalists

For ideas on how to best cover sensitive issues like suicide prevention in a thoughtful and constructive manner you can check out suggestions developed by the Annenberg Public Policy Center in conjunction with leading suicide prevention experts and journalists.

So, the government of Obama is not only trying to take over every aspect of US businesses and manufacturing, banks, jobs, health care, births and deaths, but The One and his Obamatrons are now also strongarming "offering advice" to journalists on how to cover this president's destruction of our once great country.

This hope and change thing isn't working out too well, is it?
