But…dazed eyes…sputter…but…I thought “fear–mongering” was a legitimate tactic within the overall political strategy of:
“How to Manipulate a Mob to Get Whatever You Want ESPECIALLY if it is not in the best interest of anyone but yourself & a few close friends”.

By the way, I think the terrorist alert is “lemony-gold” or a “ginger”, maybe even “ rose-blush” or whatever…
Pass it on!

Except for the fact that those troops in places like Japan, England, etc, offer strategic advantages to Americas defense, I would agree. There are certainly places we could end, or at the very least scale back our presence though. Germany stands out. But then again, with Russia on the rise again that’s not the best idea either.

How about instead we cut off nonsensical funding? Dept of Edukashun. Dept of Interior. EPA. Etc.

there are a minimum of 75000 troops in useless military posts like germany, england, s. korea, japan, and thailand. if each soldier gets paid $1000 per month that’s 75 million per month going into foriegn markets. think of 75000 people looking for houses in the u.s. if we brought those back, and $900 million per year going into our economy instead of our so called allies.now think of those 75000 troops deployed out of el paso and san diego to monitor our border. sounds like a real economy builder to me.

These are people that have very little knowledge if any of how the financial markets work. If they did they would know that it is better to let the market run it’s course than to interfere.

people should sell, sell, sell. Nothing like promoting a run on the market. What an idiot,

Why not? I got out when the market closed in on 14K. I am just a bit long of tooth to rebuild. I got out in 87 when it got too hot. Use common sense–advisers are fine but don’t take too big a chance with your money to build their portfolio.

I am guessing but odds are this will hit John McCain hard. He is the one who made a big point of the bailout being our salvation. Count on the Drive By Media to repeat that big time. If John McCain continues to “be above the fray” and doesn’t start ripping into the Obamanites he just may stay Senator for awhile and drag Governor Palin down with him. But then Beltway John does have a habit of trashing Conservatives.

Stocking up on tuna and spam already. Anything canned is a good investment at this point.

Martial law??? Stocks are worthless along with the greenback. We have been forcefed that is is good to offshore our industry and become a service economy. We have become a nation that continues to buy junk made in china and indonesia. The middle and working class continues to cut its own throat. Perot warned about this in 1992. I’m sure that the only things that will matter are guns, gold, and groceries. Better stock up before it is too late.

“I’ve think I’ve asked this before, but was it so wrong to root for the National Guard at Kent State?”

Nope, not at all.

Although, Kent State was proof the National Guard was lacking in marksmanship training.

Many of us were told in private conversations that if we voted against this bill on Monday, that the sky would fall,

It was like when FDR went on TV in 1929 and told the nation “we have nothing to fear except reason itself.”

Mommy I’m skeered. The bad men are coming for us….

Martial law? Heh, we have millions of battled hardened troops available. Hate to tell you guys but Chicago, NYC and LA aint Fallujah.

I’ve think I’ve asked this before, but was it so wrong to root for the National Guard at Kent State?
