EU WILL NOT ADMIT TO GREECE BEING A TAKER



When are we going to stop pretending that banks are solvent when they really are not?
This morning we’re treated to two articles in the Journal bearing on the issue; we’ll start with this one:
BRUSSELS—European politicians signaled Tuesday that there is no quick fix to the row over Finland’s insistence on receiving collateral for taking part in Greece’s second bailout, even as the European Commission insisted talks were yielding progress.

DOJ IS ANSWERING CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRIES BY REDACTING EVERY WORD!

Conservative American, 

The Department of Justice Shell Game is Now OVER! 


People can see through the sham of what Eric Holder has thrown out to the public. He is the very culprit in this DOJ COVER-UP!!

Just as we predicted almost 75 days ago, ATF Acting Director Ken Melson is the "official scapegoat" for the ATF "Fast and Furious" debacle.

Today, he was moved from this job at the Bureau. ATF Special Agents in Charge announced during a conference call today that he was being "reassigned."

Kenneth Melson's "lateral move" as acting head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is a political SCAM of the highest order; when, in fact, the one responsible should resign---Attorney General Eric Holder. 

OUR GUN RIGHTS ARE CONSTITUTIONAL - OBAMA DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE U.S. CONSTITUTION

Besides writing our weekly column under "The Parallax Prophecies", we are also dabbling in videos to expand our messages of freedom, liberty and property rights in a visual format.  We have been deeply concerned by Obama's end runs around Congress to make LAW he deems appropriate, constitutional or not.    He abuses his executive power by directing members of his Cabinet to make LAW by issuing bureaucratic rules that have the same force as law.  A dictator would be proud.

Dennis Miller Web Site posts on my interview
Miller was very focused and packed a lot into ten minutes. Good reason he has a national following.

Feds to Trucking Company: You Cannot Fire Alcoholic Drivers
Excerpt: The federal government has sued a major trucking company for its refusal to hire as drivers individuals with admitted alcohol abuse problems. Alcoholism is classified as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the suit maintains, and therefore employees cannot be prohibited even from driving 18 wheelers due to their histories of abuse. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which filed the suit against the Old Dominion Freight Line trucking company on August 16, noted that while “an employer’s concern regarding safety on our highways is a legitimate issue, an employer can both ensure safety and comply with the ADA.” (Two Thoughts:--By and large, this trucking company is openly religious and Christian.--What I have said before: Where Government and Trial Lawyers want you--Damned if you do, Damned if you don't. –DH. Not to wish anyone ill, but one would feel a certain sense of irony if one of the fed bureaucrats was killed by a drunk driving one of these trucks. Unfortunately, it’s more likely to be your kid. ~Bob.)

THE LAW MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO OBAMA OR HIS ASMINISTRATION

Obama's flaunting of rule of law
Also playing into Obama's refusal to secure the border, is the ability of branches of United States law enforcement and justice (including ATF, FBI, DEA and DOJ), to sell guns to the Mexican drug cartels and move those guns across the Mexican border in the hopes that such would give Obama the justification to claim that stricter laws are needed regarding the right of Americans to keep and bear arms......

WHAT WILL OUR GOVERNMENT DO? PROBABLY NOTHING!!!

Media Prepare Russian Treaty Trap for the U.S.
“In a multinational race to seize the potential riches of the formerly icebound Arctic, being laid bare by global warming, Russia is the early favorite.” So says the Christian Science Monitor. “At stake is an estimated one-quarter of all the world’s untapped hydrocarbon reserves, abundant fisheries, and a freshly opened route that will cut nearly a third off the shipping time from Asia to Europe." What the paper neglected to note is that.....

OBAMA'S POLICIES CAUSING CONCERN TO THE EMPLOYED!


American workers' concerns about various job-related cutbacks have returned to the record highs seen in 2009, after improving slightly in 2010. Three in 10 workers say they are worried they could soon be laid off, double the level recorded in August 2008 and for several years prior.

CONGRESS WAS WARNED IN 2001 and ACORN WAS TRAINED BY OBAMA!!!


Submitted by: Lady E
This video clearly shows that Congress was warned starting in 2001,
that this economic crisis was coming, if something was not done.
But Congress refused to listen, along with the arrogant Congressman, Barney Frank.
This video says it all.
it was taken off you tube n the U.S. This link is of the same video, but is routed through Canada .

Response on Dennis Miller Interview
Good morning, Bob. I was able to listen to your interview with Dennis Miller and called the show right after you were on. I let him know I was gracious enough to let you stay in my bunker at Khe Sanh. I was hoping he would allow calls while you were on, but... anyway, I enjoyed the interview. –Larry.

They sent me an MP3 recording of the show. If you want it, drop me an e-mail. ~Bob.

An Unusual Economy? By Thomas Sowell
Excerpt: Many in the media are saying how unusual it is for our economy to be so sluggish for so long, after we have officially emerged from a recession. In a sense, they are right. But, in another sense, they are profoundly wrong. The American economy usually rebounds a lot faster than it is doing today. After a recession passes, consumers usually increase their spending. And when businesses see demand picking up, they usually start hiring workers to produce the additional output required to meet that demand. Some very sharp downturns in the American economy, such as in the early 1920s, were followed quickly by bouncing back to normal levels or beyond. The government did nothing -- and it worked. In that sense, this is an unusual recovery in how long it is taking and in how slowly the economy is growing -- while the government is doing virtually everything imaginable. Government intervention may look good to the media but its actual track record -- both today and in the 1930s -- is far worse than the track record of letting the economy recover on its own.

OBAMA APPARENTLY CONDONES PHONY VOTER REGISTRATIONS


Alarming news of Obama's affiliation with ACORN continues after 400,000 false voters were registered in Nevada alone in the last Presidential election.

“It should alert people to the fact that Project Vote hasn’t gone away,” he says. “One of the big misconceptions has been that ACORN and Project Vote, which had

 been associated with voter registration issues in 2008, disappeared as a result of the scandals, as a result of the videos. And they haven’t disappeared — the 

state ACORN groups are still operational, and obviously Project Vote is still using the ACORN method to register voters.”

The Fall and Rise of Human Violence

INFO OF TEA PARTY

The Tea Parties, Part 3 and 4
There are several reasons for additional articles on our Tea Parties. First let me say, the response to the first two parts of the article were overwhelming. I received over 800 e-mails and hopefully succeeded in answering all of them. Many said I'd hit the nail on the head with explaining the problems the various Tea Party organizations around the country were facing. Many of the parties had already faced the problem of infiltration by progressive republicans, leftists masquerading as Tea Party folks, and change agents....

GALLUP RATINGS OF OBAMA


President Barack Obama's job approval rating averaged 40% last week, tying his record-low 40% ratings for the two prior weeks that started on Aug. 8. Less than 50% of all key subgroups now approve of Obama, save for blacks, Democrats, and liberals.

THE POPULARITY OF CONGRESS QUESTIONED

WHY A PROBLEM WITH REPUBLICANS?
by Lee S Gliddon Jr


We see the highest rating of U.S. citizens expressing their dissatisfaction with Congress than ever before. Surprisingly Democrats continue to hold a lead over Republicans in popularity on getting things done legislatively. I wish to address this issue and a few others and get responses to offer a true understanding.


The Republicans of the House of Representatives have done most of the things they were elected to do. They passed Bills to repeal Obamacare, stop adding to our National Debt, as well as a myriad of other stated wishes America expressed. What happened was Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader either refused to allow such Bills to be voted on in the Senate or refused to allow debate on such Bills before the Senate voted.


As an example, in February, 2011, the House passed a Bill allowing the FAA to be funded for continued operation while setting forth restrictions on spending on infrequently used airports.  When the House adjourned and went on their Summer vacation the Senate Democrats started their wailing! "Representatives went on vacation while failing to address the FAA situation. This will cost billions in tax revenues."

GOP REPS ARE 'ON THE BALL' IT IS THE SENATE FOULING THINGS UP FOR AMERICA

House GOP revs up a repeal, reduce and rein-in agenda for the fall 
House Republicans are planning votes for almost every week this fall in an effort to repeal environmental and labor requirements on business that they say have hampered job growth. With everyone from President Obama to his Republican challengers in the 2012 campaign focusing on ways to spur economic growth, House Republicans will roll out plans Monday to fight regulations from the National Labor Relations Board, pollution rules handed down by the Environmental Protection Agency and regulations that affect health plans for small businesses. In addition, the lawmakers plan to urge a 20 percent tax deduction for small businesses.

Scientists declare Hurricane Irene a Republican
Dr. Harvey Moosefinger with the Imperial Weather Service reported that Irene had been labeled a “Republican” storm. “The science is settled,” Moosefinger said. “Had Irene been a Democrat. It would have hit Washington as a temporary program, stayed put and in five years would have had a budget of $50 billion, 15,000 federal employees and numerous lobbying support groups nationwide.”

I finally signed up for Twitter, as it is useful to pick up stuff for the Political Digest. I don’t expect to Tweet much, but the tag is @tartanmarine.

Worth Reading: Mark Steyn: It's the Stupidity, Economists
Excerpt: Walter Bagehot, the great English constitutionalist, used to distinguish between the “dignified” and “efficient” parts of the Westminster system — i.e., the monarchy and the executive. The United States combines them in one person. Judging from the 40-car conga line to stage a pseudo-browse at a mom-’n'-pop bookstore on Martha’s Vineyard, President Obama and the court eunuchs of the media seem to prefer the ceremonial side (“dignified” hardly seems the word for these leaden rituals).

OBAMA'S BIG JOBS PLAN IS "ER...ER...ER...WHAT WAS THE QUESTION?"

It Takes an Earthquake to Shake Up Washington
Obama increasingly looks like a man on the defensive. At public gatherings he increasingly faces hostile crowds and uncomfortable questions. Rather than define a plan to save the nation from economic ruin and fight for it, he repeatedly fails to provide that plan, continues to mouth platitudes about preserving the current systems for Social Security and Medicare that are not financially sustainable, and promises answers to important questions not today but in future......

President Barack Obama’s Pro-Abortion Record: A Pro-Life Compilation

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — The following is a compilation of bill signings, speeches, appointments and other actions that President Barack Obama has engaged in that have promoted abortion before and during his presidency.
While Obama has promised to reduce abortions and some of his supporters believe that will happen, this long list proves his only agenda is promoting more abortions.
During the presidential election, Obama selected pro-abortion Sen. Joe Biden as his vice-presidential running mate.

Old Jarhead Blog Removed
Twice in the last two weeks, both times on Saturdays, when you log on to my blog at www.tartanmarine.blogspot.com, readers got a "blog removed" message with no explanation. Both times I logged on to Blogspot and posted a query and the blog returned in a few hours. They say they have a system for auto removing Spam blogs, but mine has zero advertising, except me books, I kill Spam posts, and it has been up since 2008. I don't know if it is a blogspot glitch, like the way they sometimes change scheduled posts to drafts, or an attack, It is costing me readers--weekly page views dropped in that time from over 4k to about 3k.

ILLEGALS , MARY JANE, EMPLOYMENT AND OTHER STUFF


Illegals get amnesty, rest are on the dole

By Vin Suprynowicz

Posted: Aug. 28, 2011 | 2:02 a.m.
I see where our drug police found and seized 4 acres of marijuana plants growing on Mount Charleston, northwest of Las Vegas. The pot farmers are bad people because they litter and sometimes hunt wildlife out of season, says Forest Service spokesgal Judy Suing.
Suing says the field was accidentally discovered by a police rescue helicopter months ago. By waiting all summer, authorities can claim more tonnage destroyed. It's unlikely that accidents led to the discovery of the six other local fields Suing says authorities are soon planning to exterminate, though.
In fact, these outfits spend millions of tax dollars overflying sparsely inhabited areas, employing high-resolution thermal imaging. Then, lots more is spent eradicating a harmless ditch weed that Nevadans -- like residents of a whole bunch of other states -- have said should be legalized for medical use and otherwise treated as the lowest law enforcement priority.

WHY ARE DEMOCRATS BLIND TO THIS?


Underpublicized threat deep in White House
Infiltration of the federal government by members of the radical Muslim Brotherhood is worse than some have warned recently, says a former FBI special agent in Washington. 

The agent confirmed that at least three operatives of the Egypt-based Brotherhood - whose credo is "Jihad is our way and death in the cause of Allah is our dream" - have penetrated the Obama administration.

BERNANKE SHOWING OBAMA HOW TO RUIN U.S. ECONOMY AS HE LIGHTS INFLATION FIRE


Speculation has risen that Fed chairman Ben Bernanke may announce yet around round of quantitative easing or QE3 on Friday. As economist Thomas Sowell says, "when people in Washington start creating fancy new phrases, instead of using plain English, you know they are doing something they don't want us to understand." The term quantitative easing in layman's terms just means that the Fed will print more money out of thin air. What could possibly go wrong? Well, for starters, the value of the U.S. dollar will continue to decline and it could set the stage for hyper-inflation.

MAKE YOUR THOUGHTS KNOWN


Since launching our Tea Party Debt Commission just over a week ago, thousands of activists like you have joined the Commission and voted for the cuts they would make to the federal budget. These votes will ultimately decide what spending cuts we propose to Congress when the Tea Party Debt Commission holds hearings on Capitol Hill this winter. Please vote now to tell us what YOU would cut!

As you vote, you will be given two proposed spending cuts and pick which one you would prioritize. For example, 
which spending cut would you pick here?
