Alcohol kills. My sons tell me that most of their work involves calls to the homes of drunks. They kill people in fights, kill members of the family and kill people with their cars. And alcohol is wiping out the Russians. Maybe if we need something for the weak and the ignorant we should give them weed as they do in California. http://news.aol.com/health/article/alcohol-blamed-in-half-of-russian-1990s/545423
You are a very wise man. Spend time with those you love. One of my good friends committed suicide today. It is not the things we have or the money we make. It is about sharing our love for those that are hurting. So many young people spend every waking hour loving Hollywood actors and entertainers. They do not love you--they are make believe. I remember a former student that spent 5 years of her life following the Greatful dead from city to city to attend the concerts. She stayed alive by dumpster diving for food. Life is short so put your time to good use as you have done. You are a good role model for this board.
Obama said that he was going to bankrupt the coal industry. Can the lefties ram this through without any thought to the consequences? YES THEY CAN.
The liars, rapists, con artists, sexual deviates, corruptors, keep coming out of California to kill this country. They are now using a game plan called run and shoot. The idea is to stampede the dim witted in congress to just vote but do not read the crap that is being rushed like the stimulus bill and the TARP. It is like a group of sharks herding the seals. I have asked people if they understand what will happen to our economy if we tax the energy providers out of business? They know nothing of the plan but they do admit that they are for Obama. This time it is a man or some version of a man. His name is Waxman. http://www.cnsnews.com/public/Content/Article.aspx?rsrcid=48290
I would like to see it base here for about two months. Then it will be more than just a small trade.
I went in too. It could not make a new low. Now we need a higher close. It looks good to go.
A populist that is elected by the most ignorant is also protected by those same people when it is time to go. I am afraid that the street thugs will do the same here as they are doing in Iran. That is why all members of my family shoot pretty good.
After looking at videos where a ruthless dictator beats and kills the people like animals and then throws the body on a truck to be dumped and burned, I just went over and hugged my guns. When only the government has guns it is very hard to have an opinion of your own. Especially if the opinion of the dictator comes directly from God.
I did not buy CEMJQ today. I did not get a lower low but I did not get a higher close either. So it is a wait.
To invent the internet and global warming at the same time makes him truly the greatest scientist of all time. I was a scientist all of my adult life. And I never invented anything. Now we will see Obama invent the Obama car, have a party with killers in Iran and invent ACORN.
I liked the higher close today. If it can not make a lower low tomorrow I will go in.
I still have about 4000 dollars set aside for that one. But I want one of those long red tails. I am not in yet.
I was with my small grand daughter at Walmart a few weeks ago. She was afraid of the ghosts moving around the store. How are you going to explain religious ghosts to a four year old child? I told her they were people playing Hide and Seek. She could understand that.
When I tried to find out why a student was not attending class I was told he was On The Lamb again. I told the Dean that someone needs to find him a girl friend. You know what happened to me when I said that.
I am offended. How many times did I hear that during the last few years I was a professor?
The democrats have perfected the art of being the victum.
I was accused of being not sensitive when I used the word fat people when I discussed nutrition and health in class. If you are not fat and weigh 300 pounds and are five feet tall what are you?
I was accused of being homophobic when I talked about the AIDS problem when I told my students to avoid anal intercourse. Then I compounded the attack by saying homophobic means you are afraid of going home.
A lefty senator is offended when she is called mam by a brigidier general. She could not lead a herd of goats.
A congress woman is offended when a group of people that have entered this country illegally are called illegals.
Obama does not use the term terrorist to describe a person that blows himself up to kill thousands of innocent women and children.
I not only called a spade a spade, I even called it a fuc-en shovel. That is what my mentor in chief Harry Truman would have said. But he was not Wimp in Chief.
Obama is either a bold faced lying political hack or is very forgetful. He forgets what he promises faster than I misplace my keys. The people in Iran do not believe the Supreme Leader. And he gets all his information straight from God. Where does Obama get his information?
Would you believe a poll by the New York Times? The most recent survey, a New York Times -CBS News poll released Sunday, found that 72 percent supported the idea, including half of those who identified themselves as Republicans.
The democrats are getting bolder. They now say they will pay for their 3 trillion dollar health plan on the backs of the middle class. That means anyone making over 50,000 dollars. Forget about what Obama has said. He is the leading edge of the hurricane that will destroy this country. You want more government and more controls go to Iran or Cuba or Hugoland. Hugo is scared as hell that he will be next if Iran loses big government control. Then Obama will follow.
I no longer think you are a rookie. Brilliant my man. Sure glad you are on our team.
Remember this post? The difference between this board and the current president is we do have some experience. He is a rookie and just makes stuff up. We have been to the rodeo a few times.http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=38678971
I knew you would take profit. But we have some slow learners here and they need to be reminded. Happy Fathers Day to you and to all that read and contribute to this board.
I just saw a video of a young woman shot throught the heart by the Muslim thugs. When I lived over there my friends told me they witnessed a stoning of several young women. They buried them in sand up to the neck. Then they fired stones at the head. This is a great sport in Iran as well. And Obama thinks he can charm these people. Give me a break.
Death to Dictatorship: U.S. Must Support Revolution in Iran
by Nicholas Guariglia Saturday, Jun. 20, 2009 at 12:59 PM
Iranian dissidents are risking their lives fighting for their future. The silence from the White House is deafening.
Natan Sharansky believes every dictatorship shares certain inherent similarities. In his book The Case for Democracy, the former Soviet dissident explains how there are three groups of people in all totalitarian societies: the true believers, those who support the ideology of the regime; the dissidents, those who actively resist and oppose the regime; and the double-thinkers, those who reject the legitimacy of the regime but are unwilling to openly protest for fear of retribution. “The bulk of the population are double-thinkers,” Sharansky states. “That means people who already have problems, or doubts, or are in deep disagreement with the regime, but are afraid to express it,” the onetime political prisoner clarifies.
That is what now appears to be happening across Iran in response to this blatantly rigged election: the once-intimidated double-thinkers are becoming proactive dissidents. The shadowy clerics who rule Iran brazenly undermined the facade of fair elections and reappointed their puppet Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the presidency. Calling the “reelection” of Ahmadinejad a “divine assessment,” Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei shamelessly ignored his own phony electoral rules and reinstalled his presidential stooge in one of the most palpable and indisputable hijackings of democracy since 1933. In response, the entire nation is rioting and on the precipice of insurrection — even revolution, one could only hope.
Hundreds of thousands of Iranians have taken to the streets chanting “Death to the dictatorship!” and “We want freedom!” Some accounts have said the number of protesters could be as high as three million. In retaliation, the regime has blocked cell phone service and text messaging, shut down gas stations, and blocked Facebook, YouTube, and other networking websites. Certain television stations and opposition newspapers have been shut down — to which Ahmadinejad coldly replied, “Newspapers come and go. Don’t worry about it.” Foreign journalists have been kicked out of the country. Revolutionary Guard thugs have taken to the streets as well, as have regime-loyalist Basij paramilitaries who are out in full force beating, clubbing, machete-slicing, tear-gassing, shooting, arresting, and killing the protesters. One report said upwards of 100 people were killed in Tehran alone. That number is unconfirmed, however.
Should these protests be nurtured and encouraged to proceed to their logical conclusion, this could turn into the best development to come out of the Middle East in sixty years. Should the protesters and rioters be aided, our greatest adversary could become one of our greatest allies overnight. This is a perfect opportunity to advantageously exploit. But how is the United States responding?
Vice President Biden said, “We’re going to withhold comment.” Secretary of State Clinton said, “The United States has refrained from commenting on the election in Iran.” The State Department has refused to condemn the regime’s brutal crackdown. Press Secretary Gibbs said, “Like the rest of the world, we were impressed by the vigorous debate and enthusiasm that this election generated, particularly among young Iranians. We continue to monitor the entire situation closely, including reports of irregularities.” One unnamed White House official said, “There’s no reason to think the [Iranian] regime is not in control.” Another said, “[The election result] might also cause engagement to proceed more swiftly.”

This is no time to “withhold” or “refrain from comment.” It is not a time to be “impressed” with Iran’s “enthusiasm” or to “monitor irregularities” in what was an obvious charade. It is not a time to reconfirm this decrepit regime’s “control” over its oppressed people — knocking the righteous wind out of every dissident’s sails — or to offer pie-in-the-sky scenarios about diplomatic “engagement” at some future date. The big-thinkers in the administration aren’t thinking all that big. Who in their right mind is now worrying about “what this means for diplomacy” when the Iranian government itself might not even exist next week?
President Obama’s silence is deafening. This will undoubtedly be considered the most important moment of his first term and he is as quiet as a lamb. According to reports, Obama has received updates on the situation in Iran but “did not convene any high-level White House meetings or conference calls.” Like so many times throughout his short and unlettered Chicago career, Obama has once again decided to vote “present.” Except this time, the issue is not some mundane community organizing red-tape dilemma. The issue is the lifespan of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, and the future of war and peace in Southwest Asia.
Where is the condemnation of Ahmadinejad? Where is the criticism of Khamenei? Where is the denunciation of this stolen election? Where is the show of support and solidarity with the protesters? Where is the rhetorical support for the dissidents and democracy? Better question: where is President Obama, the man who campaigned and effeminately talked the talk about “soft power” until our ears bled?
His administration’s jelly-spined non-judgmentalism has devolved into impotent and delusional relativism, and his personal hesitancy to condemn theocracy and tyranny — his tentativeness to actually lead and side with Iran’s democrats and dissidents — is intellectual nonsense and moral confusion of the highest order. This is now an administration more eager to unleash venom-laced tirades against domestic critics and private citizens like Rush Limbaugh than against women-beating, election-rigging, theocratic murderers in the Middle East. Where else can one find a moral compass so askew and so detached from the real world?
Before this “election,” those of us forever suspicious of the terrorists ruling Iran suspected they were up to one of two ploys. Either the mullahs were planning to let the “moderate” Mousavi win and thereby con the world into seeing a “happy face” on the true nature of their regime — to ease sanctions and buy time to acquire nuclear weapons — or the mullahs were using Mousavi’s candidacy to “lure out” the domestic opponents of the regime. The latter theory seems to be the correct one. Ahmadinejad was always the preferred choice for the Islamic establishment; Mousavi was merely a sop to the masses, forever destined to lose. His supporters thought they were participating in an open and legitimate political process; it was more like a flytrap. Mousavi’s loss was designed to identify the leaders of Iran’s underground dissident community and that is precisely what it accomplished.
And now these dissidents are out in the open fighting for their lives and for their country. We should be assisting them. These young Iranians are our kindred spirits, our friends, and are sticking their necks out in hope that we will find it within ourselves to lend material, technical, financial, and moral support. In their own words, they are “doomed” if President Obama recognizes Ahmadinejad’s victory. Amidst his silence, they have no idea what to expect. Neither do we.
President Obama is planning to crisscross the country this summer in an attempt to sell his health care plan to the public. He would be better off selling the idea of true health care for the world: the downfall of the mullahs and freedom in Iran.
It is kind of funny that my kids thought I was just about the dumbest bastard on the face of the earth when they were teenagers. So they obviously would never ask for my advice before they made major decisions. Then after they fu--ed up they would come to me to bail their asses out. Now they actually call me first before they make a move. What a concept!!!!
Jimmy the Wimp just about got killed in the Gaza. If the enemy sees the wimp in you you are finished. Obama is being tested and he sure does look wimpy. Reagan said take down that wall. Obama says lets just be friends.
New York times reporter escapes from the Taliban. He just climbed over the wall. All news outlets were quiet about his capture to prevent his killing. The New York Times would never have done that. My conclusion is that the Taliban realized that he was on the same side as the New York Times. So they arranged for his escape.
I think the big danger is a police state run by thugs. It will take war to free the people.
If you think you know what is happening in a Muslim country you have not lived in the Middle East. I talked to one of my former students from Iran and he told me Obama was smart to just lay low for now. When you have a power struggle sometimes you end up with a clown like Nancy.
Look at the chart on ERHE. Definite up trend without the up spike. When it got too bullish it went back to close the up gap. Look at the base period after a long down trend. I love this chart.
There is a good reason why we have rules. The biggest mistake I made in the past was going back to the same bank and trying to rob it again. The best bet is to buy the first pullback after a big run. But you must not expect the same results of the first run. I still like ERHE here because the big run in my opinion is not over. This is not a friendly market so mistakes are easy to make. A stock can drift down forever. Then we need a base period of several months. If you do not get the down spike or the up spike I just stay away. The odds are not in your favor. Sharp moves in either direction ALWAYS have a purpose. Believe it.
I give away my tomatoes but only to those that come to the front door. The situation in California will be repeated in other states. They have the most lefties and the world's worst leaders. Nancy, Diane, Barbara, and the list goes on and on. They believe the crap they spew. You can not build an economy on leftist bull shit and corruption.
I just cancelled my bid on a house for the same reason. I think we have had a dead cat bounce in all markets. There is still a lot of pain in my cards. Both Iran and North Korea could be the explosion that takes her down big time.
I hate to disagree with our Cowboy because he has been dead right on CEMJQ. I still think there will be pressure to scare out those boys with the three cent shares. I am going to wait for the downspike which I have not seen yet.
Here is another democrat that is mad as hell and is not going to take it any more. And if you are a thieving republican we do not want you either. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=38823026
Last night the dogs woke me up to give me an intruder alert. I grabbed my shotgun with slugs to make sure that if I had to fire it would be a clean kill. I was thinking it would be either dogs in my garbage cans, racoons in my garbage cans or lefties in my garbage cans. Well it was just racoons and my wife would not let me shoot them. Lefties often go through garbage cans to look for dirt on conservatives.
When NITE is short Scottrade will refuse to execute orders. I lost a lot of money because they would not allow my sell when I was up 3000 percent. Now that I am losing money on that trade they will let me sell. That is why I switched to Etrade.
I am looking hard at the recent down gapper in BLGM. I put orders in and then cancel them. The volume is drying up on the sell side now and I think it may be time to start the process of accumulating. I have 4000 dollars I am willing to take a chance with on that one. I think if the Q comes it will rally. If it is obvious it is ALWAYS wrong. I did not get degrees in Master of the Obvious.
Thank you for the heads up. We like to play those here. If fact I just put her on the radar. I think I will put some bids under the market to see if I catch anything.
