King, thank you for correcting the error to the actual RS (50/1).
Appreciate truth as it has no agenda.

Great new interview titled: Silver crash not a correction but a ‘drive-by-shooting' and ‘criminal act'

When Osama bin Laden died, he was met at the Pearly Gates by George Washington, who slapped him across the face and yelled, "How dare you try to destroy the nation I helped conceive!"
Patrick Henry approached, punched him in the nose and shouted, "You wanted to end our liberties but you failed."
James Madison followed, kicked him in the groin and said, "This is why I allowed our government to provide for the common defense!"
Thomas Jefferson was next, he beat Osama with a long cane and snarled, "It was evil men like you who inspired me to write the Declaration of Independence."
The beatings and thrashings continued as George Mason, James Monroe and 66 other early Americans unleashed their anger on the terrorist leader.
As Osama lay bleeding and in pain, an Angel appeared. Bin Laden wept and said, "This is not what an angel promised me."
The Angel replied, "I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you in Heaven. What did you think I said?"
He has risen, Happy Easter to all!
In the year 2011, the Lord came to Noah, who was now living in Califonia and said:
“Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans.” He gave Noah the blueprints, saying: “You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights.”
Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard – but no Ark.
“Noah!,” He roared, “I’m about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?”
“Forgive me, Lord,” begged Noah, “but things have changed, I needed a Building Permit.”
“I’ve been arguing with the Boat Inspector about the need for a sprinkler system.”
“My neighbors claim that I’ve violated the Neighborhood By-Laws by building the Ark in my back garden and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Local Planning Committee for a decision.”
Passage for the Ark’s move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it.”
“Getting the wood was another problem. There’s a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the Greater Spotted Barn Owl. “I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls – but no go!”
“When I started gathering the animals the PETA took me to court. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodations were too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space.”
“Then the Environmental Agency ruled that I couldn‘t build the Ark until they’d conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood.”
“I’m still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I’m supposed to hire for my building crew.”
“Immigration are checking the visa status of most of the people who want to work.”
“The trades unions say I can’t use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience.”
“To make matters worse, the Inland Revenue seized all my assets, claiming I’m trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species.”
“So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark.”
“Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky.”
Noah looked up in wonder and asked, “You mean you’re not going to destroy the world?”
“No,” said the Lord. "The Government beat me to it.”

How to Explain the Current Economic Situation to Friends & Family
Use the following story about: My Troubled Relative
I need your advice. I have a relative in financial trouble. He makes $50,000 a year, but he spent $74,591 last year, and his prospects of making $50,000 this year look kind of bad. There's a good chance he will get a pay cut.
Unfortunately, he’s been overspending for quite a while and has charged $295,632 on credit cards. He’s been lucky enough to get low teaser rates, and when those expired, he’s been able to transfer the balances to other low rate cards. So he keeps charging $24,591 per year beyond his income. If he can’t keep rolling over his debt at super low rates the interest will quickly eat him up.
But, that's not his worst problem . He convinced his family he was a great investor. His parents gave him a portion of their income for many years, and he promised he would make regular payments to them, and cover their medical care, when they got too old to work. The problem is, he spent all the money. He also has dependents who are poor, and he promised to help them out too. He needs $2,372,953 sitting in a bank account earning an interest rate that keeps up with inflation. But the money is all gone.
So what should he do? Well, his Republican friends, who say they are responsible with money, have decided he must really cut spending to get things under control. There are lots of things he can live without, so he should reduce spending by $1,292 per year. His Democrat friends say that’s too much. It would be a great hardship to cut spending that drastically, and $137 should be about right.
So here’s the picture:
$50,000: Income
$74,591: Expenses
$24,591: Deficit
$295,632: Short-term revovling debt at artificially low rates
$2,372,632: Unfunded promises
$1,292: Republican friends budget cuts
$137: Democrat friends budget cuts
So, what does the future look like for my Uncle Sam? Do you think he can keep going like this much longer? What about his family that’s counting on the promises he made to them? Do you see any possible solution other than bankruptcy?
Multiply the above numbers by 47,620,000 and you get the fiscal picture for the United States Government in 2010:
$2.381 Trillion: Revenuw
$3.552 Trillion: Budget
$1.171 Trillion: Deficit
$14.078 Trillion: Debt
$113 Trillion: Unfunded Liabilities (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid)
$0.0615 Trillion ($61.5 Billion): Republican proposed budget cuts
$0.0065 Trillion ($6.5 Billion): Democrat proposed budget cuts

Some of you will appreciate this and some of you will not.
I do not apologize for sending this because all of it is true and verifiable. The other fact is that truth is not biased, truth is truth.
If any other of our presidents had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
If any other of our presidents had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?
If any other of our presidents had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head?
If any other of our presidents joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who's side he was on?
If any other of our presidents had pronounced the Marine Corps like Marine Corpse, would you think him an idiot?
If any other of our presidents had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one foreign company had an accident, would you have agreed?
If any other of our presidents had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87000 American workers unemployed would you support him?
If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take his First Lady to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?
If any other of our presidents had stated that there were 57 states in the United States, wouldn't you have had second thoughts about his capabilities?
If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in his home town, would you not have thought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical jerk.
If any other of our presidents had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment?
If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?
If any other of our presidents' administrations had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?
If any other of our presidents had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
If any other of our presidents had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have ever approved..
If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?
Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 21 months -- so you have that much time to come up with an answer.
Every statement and action in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.

http://www.playcornhole.org/whatis.shtml
What is Cornhole?
It has been called many things, Corn Toss, Bean Bag, Bean Toss, Soft Horseshoes, Indiana Horseshoes, but to many of us born and raised in Kentucky and the southern part of Ohio, the game is passionately referred to as Cornhole.
It has been said that the game originated in Germany in the 14th century, and then was rediscovered in the hills of Kentucky over 100 years ago.
The truth is, who really knows, but the game is great fun for all ages and can be played anywhere!
Cornhole or Corn Toss is similar to horseshoes except you use wooden boxes called cornhole platforms and corn bags instead of horseshoes and metal stakes. Contestants take turns pitching their corn bags at the cornhole platform until a contestant reaches the score of 21 points. A corn bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point.
Scoring can be swift and the lead may change hands several times in a match before the winner is decided.
The game is generally played tournament style with an individual or team being named the champion at the end of the tournament.
Why play Cornhole / Corn Toss?
The biggest reasons to play Cornhole or Corn Toss instead of horseshoes or other similar games is that Cornhole can be played anywhere and everyone can play Cornhole.
If you can aim and toss a corn bag 30 feet, you can master the game of Cornhole - It's great for family outings.
Cornhole can be played anywhere - driveways, parks, backyard, campgrounds, beaches and even in-doors.
Safe for everyone - no metal or pointed objects. Corn bags are made of extra soft 12 oz. duck canvas material and filled with pliable high quality feed corn.
No muss; no fuss. Two cornhole platforms and 8 corn bags and you’re ready to play the game.
At least it won't be an expensive party and a waste of $$$.
Back at ya!
Ragtime, you are correct that for a few years those things were true: (office, salary, etc...) You and I would also agree that most of the money spent on those things were OPM.
But, that is only a partial picture.
(Except to the few vengeful knuckle heads who still like to hang around here taking whatever cheap shot they can cause they expected the moon on a wildcat adventure and haven't the maturity to face the mirror. This is not you!)
There is much more to Tom made money than the temporary issues above. For one example, to say "XXXXX made money," you would have to know how much of his personal fortune he put into the company before and during the endeavor. Say a company president starts an endeavor and the total of the endeavor runs 2.5MM of his own money for leases, drilling, etc, and then takes public to finance the rest to fruition, (with office, salary, etc...) and only brings in 1M, in total, he would have lost 1.5M.
Sure, crybabies can complain and take cheap shots, but the bottom line is that this person lost 1.5M.
Here is what I am saying: (and again, this does not apply to you as you have always been level headed and eyes wide open to the risk), before anyone goes around taking cheap shots and making accusations as fact, they better get the WHOLE picture.
No, actually Tom didn't.
Here is a very enlightened post!
Very exciting board. 3 followers, now 4! woo hoo!
No news to report for several months.
As long as there is some activity behind the scenes worthy, I am ok with that.
Great question. No, not gone. Just if the mod doesn't post for 3 months, the "system" automatically removes the mod.
There was no news, no reason to post.
Live and learn.
You figured correct!
I check daily!
Dear Mr. President,
We finally figured out how to get that car you keep talking about out of the ditch. It appeared it was stuck in "D", so we threw it into "R".
Sincerely, America

Guess what posted on CNN several months ago. Actual conservative slanted news!
They preach and appear as innocent, until you ask the critical question. (Even our friend Lars would probably have sat at her feet and worshiped at her feet and spew personal attacks for any who would dare to question her motives, labeling them hatemongers, racist, ignorant, stupid....
The problem is that Lars would even deny what she clearly said and would still disbelieve in spite of the clear dictate to kill the jews.
It's like liberalism is a cult. They refuse to believe the simplest common sense item. I bet if Lars would be given Kool-aid by her after her admittance, he would be so trusting at to drink it.
Sad. Lars, wake up!
lar////
The last word is yours, since it will be a baseless rant filled with misleading, historically inaccurate mush.
Enjoy costing millions their lives someday, Neville Chamberlain lite.
Lars .... you sound like a moron, but an experienced liberal.
You constantly change the subject when cornered.
Try to stick on the topic... and quit the personal insults everytime you are cornered into admitting you are wrong and exposed for the stupid agenda you are promoting.
Yes, he is a coward.
Typical.
Now, I'm picking a fight, but its unfair, like taking candy from a baby.
Lowman, you are free to delete this whole thread.
Arguing with idiots can get tiring to the reader.
Top Hat
This response sounds like a drunken rant. Care to try again?
lars... maybe I should not give you so much credit for intelligence.
You wrote: "If you think Islam is going to attack us next time because Americans promote peace, or launch the next attack from a cultural center in New York, then you must fall into the paranoid, ignorant crowd."
Lets substitute the following: Nazis for Islam and English for Americans & you get the following paragraph:
If you think (Nazis) is going to attack us next time because (the English) promote peace, or launch the next attack from a cultural center in New York, then you must fall into the paranoid, ignorant crowd.
This is the exact type of thing the arrogant Neville Chamberlain said to the people of England trying to defend his liberal agenda/worldview.
FACT: You do sound just like him, and
FACT: It cost millions of innocent people their lives.
For all your self-proclaimed intellectual ability - you are above ignorant.
And yes, you sound like Neville Chamberlain defending Hitler; you sound like the coward.
I would have said the same things and DID on 9/10/00.
You probably would have spewed your ignorant rants!
I had several discussions in '99 about the fact that they would fly airplanes into towers.
The only question that matters: Which one of us was correct?
Hint: It was NOT YOU!
In your arrogance you really don't mourn over those who died that day! You would rather keep your wrong, ignorant, arrogant worldview that ALL men want to do good.
You would be quite wrong.
Now let's up it:
The world is governed by the aggressive use of force. Muslims know this. I know this. Empty-headed liberals like yourself refuse to admit this truth.
Again, your empty rant sound like Neville Chamberlain defending Hitler! Oh yea, he convinced many empty headed Englishmen, (and millions died as a result), but those you would arrogantly make fun of or accuse, were historically correct, right and accurate and could plainly see what was coming. And we can see what is coming.
So, keep with your meaningless insults, you who would have defended Chamberlain, and the results will be the same. I doesn't take much intelligence to see that we are at war with Muslims. It only take your type of arrogance and lack of common sense not to see the obvious.
Excellent!
So, rather than deal with the facts of the post, again you resort to personal attack: "ignorant rant, stupidity...."
I'm not sure if you are ignorant, or part of the Muslim's who are spreading propaganda to further lull Americans asleep so you can kill them to further Sharia law.
I assume the latter as you do not appear ignorant, only truly deceptive and misleading in your arguments.
Cordoba - the original name has REAL significance. That is the bottom line, and trying to ignore, deflect, etc.... only shows you are either a Neville Chamberlain or willfully ignorant.
Bottom line, either way, YOU will be aiding in the innocent slaughter of millions of people. But, you probably secretly like that, don't you.
You still haven't answered my questions......
Rather than answering the reality of the name Cordoba and its true meaning, you would instead paint a wonderful, feel good picture talking about the Muslims "good will" toward and for us.
Get real! Tell me WHY they named it Cordoba in the first place, or do you not want to face the reality of the truth: A victory mosque.
Quit hiding your head in the sand, Neville Chamberlin.
You sound like Neville Chamberlain defending Hitler, assuring the people they had nothing to be afraid of.
10 million deaths later, liberals still refuse to face up to their losing agenda and wrong arguments and the resulting Holocaust, while arrogantly accusing those who were right of being racist, warmongers, ignorant,etc.... History sure does repeat itself.
The only real question is how many millions will die this time in a Muslim nuclear explosion on the soil of the US.
Lars....
re-read your post.
You were the one who wrote: "There is nothing to defend on this non-issue except for ignorance, fear, racism, paranoia, lies, and political opportunism" in response.
You basically labeled me all the above.
You still have NOT answered my questions.
I have discussed with 6 year olds who put up a better defense and knew more than you!
At least my neighbor's 6 year old knows about "Cordoba" and it's historical relevance.
Apparently you are not as smart as a 2nd grader for all you huffary.
Lars, I see you just ignored the questions, pretending the answers do not exist. Instead you chose to personally attack me.
I will ask the questions again:
My dear lars....
Please defend this article you have chosen to post. I would appreciate your responses to the following:
1. What was the project named BEFORE they changed the name to Park 51? Why the change?
2. What is the significance of the original name? Was there any surrounding meaning/significance to anything in NY, 911 or the USA to do with the name?
3. Do you deny the concept of a "victory mosque" in spite of 1000 years of evidence?
Should you choose to actually answer these with actual integrity and historical accuracy, I will have some other very pointed questions.
Lars... you are the one who posted this deceptive article. This article does not address the questions I asked. I am not the ignorant one. You have not answered my questions.
Try again..... (Your deception to the first time shows soooo much.) I assume you will attack me again instead of actually answering.
