I know it's Arianna Huffington,
but the article is a good one and I think it fits in here.

Parishht...Great article. There are a few things I don't agree with, (comments about unnessary wars, etc.) but facts are facts. His comments about the financial sector are right on target. Thank you for posting it.


Willy... What can I say? I am in AWE at your ability to put into words exactly what and how I feel about Palin.
Truthfully, I'm simply to stupid to string my jumbled thoughts together into such a beautiful article. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I will say this about Palin though.. She is the most feared person on the liberals hit list. When V.P. Biden goes to speak they have a hard time finding 500 people to come and listen to him. When Gov. Palin goes to speak, they have a hard time finding a place large enough to hold the 5000-10,000 people she normally draws!! That lesson hasn't been lost on the progressives... so they have villified her, her family, her friends, anyone the comes close to her. They make up lies about her, they try to trap her with really stupid, meaningless questions.. They are doing anything and everything they can to make her look bad. She is the most carismatic person in the Republican Party right now, and they fear her like no one else. To anyone that would disagree with me on this, I simply say listen to her.... NOT to what the left wing progressive press is making up or trying to spin about her.. listen to HER..to what SHE says... then make up your own mind.

Do I like everything she says? No, of course not. Nor do I like everything that anyone else says either.. But I agree with her much more than I disagree with her.

She is not the voice of the Tea Party. The hard working, blue collar American People are the voice of the Tea Party. And our voices WILL be heard in the upcoming elections..

I think you said it just fine my friend

Ferm, you hanging out on Kitco?

Remember that ignorance is bliss and once you gain knowledge of the way things are and have been, you can't unlearn it. Once you go down the rabbitt hole you can't come back out.


THEY are/have installed an oligarchy in this country. This has been done over at least the last one hundred years, a lot longer actually. The whole left/right paradigm is a two demensional puppet show for the sheep. Both parties have sold us down the river.

While I admire their spirit, the tea party has been taken over by the neocon republicans. This was done in my opinion to piggyback off the movement and give the republicans less of a Dick Cheney/Karl Rove/Halliburton image and make them more the currently likable populists. More importantly it was done to crush the possibility of an actually viable 3rd party that would upset the global agenda that the powers that be have planned for us.

I'll shut up now before a friendly Homeland Insecurity officer cross references my ISP address.

Vote for Ron Paul!

Nah, just a link I found on one of my other forums.

Just one thing to keep in the back of everyone's mind.
Stewart Dougherty is a shill for Kitco ...sellers of gold and other precious metals. He's employed by them.

I don't care how "prestigeous" Mr. Dougherty's credentials are. I looked at his "bio" and see that it is on Kitco's site. I look at what he "does" and he appears to be just another guy that can't get a regular job so hanges out a shingle and calls himself a "consultant." [I have seen lots of consultants job titles lately.] I am not impressed about MCI and in any case that was a decade ago. How has he been feeding himself lately?

You were able to read him because Bart Kitner [the man that owns Kitco] paid for you to be able to do so. Bart is a Canadian, as is his company. Their US address is a "storefront" up near the Canadian border. Much of his "holdings" are on paper in places like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Perth. If something were to go wrong, the legal fees on that trail would not be trivial. At least one of his firms is incorporated in British Columbia, CA - Very long noted as a haven for very sketchy businesses. [My father purchased shares in a mining company there that turned out to be a non producing sand pit.]

Bart is in the business of making a profit from selling metal. He in turn is also one of the reasons that Google is nicely profitable. He pays very well for "placement" in their search engine - multiple times over in fact. That's a lot of overhead and gold is not normally a high margin item. How does he make a profit? The answer is that he uses marketing - Mr. Dougherty - to sell product. But there is also something subtle here. He sells undivided interest in a pool of metal. You never get to hold that in your hand. It only exists as paper/pixels and is no more secure than any other financial [Wall Street] instrument. If you're going to buy gold, MAKE SURE you get the gold, NOT just paper.

I'm NOT saying that Mr. Dougherty is wrong in his message or in his facts..far from it. But just keep in mind that it appears that he's getting paid to say it... and to me, when someone gets paid to say something, it makes me look twice at the message.

That's funny, I want to sell my Whaler that way. Someone could send some money and I will send them the title, insurance and a picture of me using it.
