The Financial Times is reporting that central banks in China, Brazil, India and elsewhere are dismayed by the Fed’s action to print $600 billion and spread it around America’s bankrupt financial system. They’ve good reason to worry – this is killing the value of the dollar, making their exports to the US more expensive, as well as driving up the dollar cost of things like gold and oil. Its a huge mess – a repeat, on steroids, of the stupid mistakes the Fed has made since 2007.

Everyone must keep in mind what has really happened here. Bernanke essentially pressed a button at the Federal Reserve and $600 billion in US currency immediately appeared – but not out of thin air. You see, by making this extra pile of money, he essentially picked the pockets of all Americans because the money you had yesterday is now worth less, today. Your money is a store of your wealth – so, that hard days work you put in on Friday? You now ended up getting paid less for it.

How’s that feel?

And it gets worse. You see, what Bernanke did will eventually wind up in the hands of the bankrupt Banksters – who will then use it to by US Treasuries. So, the money which was stolen from you will be given to Banksters who will then loan it back to you, at interest.

Want to grab your bucket of tar and bag of feathers, yet?

But here’s the real kicker – it won’t work. This is designed in accordance with Keynesian theory which says that if the central bank does this, it will spur investment and job creation. What it is really doing is fueling an already overboard asset bubble (you’ll note that the stock market rocketed up on Thursday) which will eventually crash, taking what remains of the economy with it. So, the final result here is that you have had your money stolen and then loaned back to you, and you’re going to see your job lost, your home value drop some more and your retirement nest egg wiped out.

Anyone out there still wondering why I’m calling myself a revolutionary these days?

I haven’t had too much use for Ron Paul over the years, but he’s got one good idea which must be pressed – audit the Fed. We need to tell everyone just where the money went so that public outrage will grow to proper proportions, and then kill the Fed completely. No more central banks, no more fiat currency, no more wealth being ripped off so that fat cats can remain fat.

That is the number of State legislative seats the GOP picked up on Tuesday – from National Journal:

While the Republican gains in the House and Senate are grabbing the most headlines, the most significant results on Tuesday came in state legislatures where Republicans wiped the floor with Democrats.

Republicans picked up 680 seats in state legislatures, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures — the most in the modern era. To put that number in perspective: In the 1994 GOP wave, Republicans picked up 472 seats. The previous record was in the post-Watergate election of 1974, when Democrats picked up 628 seats.

The GOP gained majorities in at least 14 state house chambers. They now have unified control — meaning both chambers — of 26 state legislatures…

This means, by and large, that we’re in charge of re-districting – and this is the first time we have this sort of dominance in this area since after the 1920 census. In practical terms, the chances of the Democrats taking back the House before the 2020 elections just got a lot smaller.

But even better than that, by re-drawing the districts to better reflect the center/right majority of the American people, we’ll be able to get a stronger representation of small government, low tax, pro-family legislators, thus changing the whole tone of our debate. We won’t be forever arguing idiot Democrat programs but, instead, advancing programs and principles to make America an ever more perfect union.

This is the re-alignment, good people – we’ve been working on it for 30 years and never got past 2nd base in the effort..now we’re rounding third. So, let’s not blow it, ok?

Why did the GOP win? In large measure, because Catholics went heavily GOP. You’re welcome.

We might not know the Alaska result for weeks – and Miller just might win.

Fox News dominated election night coverage. Did anyone actually watch MSNBC?

Looking over the returns in Washington, I get that sinking feeling about Dino Rossi. I was really hoping he’d get it in order to correct the complete fraud which cost him the gubernatorial contest in 2004, but it looks like Murray will squeak by, though Rossi is officially, at this point, still looking for a good turnout from some of his strong holds.

Glenn Beck gloats.

The Culture of Death and liberal fascism – evil twins which never stop trying. From the National Catholic Register:

The Department of Health and Human Services is considering a request from the American Civil Liberties Union that it compel Catholic hospitals to provide emergency abortions.

But the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty has vowed not only to provide free legal defense for any hospital the HHS takes action against, but to sue the feds to stop them…

This is a back-door effort to force Catholic hospitals to perform abortions – or to force them out of business. Catholics can never, ever perform or assist in the performance of an elective abortion. Medical procedures can be done which have as their unfortunate side-effect the ending of a pregnancy, but what the ACLU is trying to do here is kick in the door and make an issue where some will claim it was medically necessary, others won’t but liberal judges would be found to rule against the Church and award damages…facing the Church with the stark choice of either denying Truth, or ending a service.

This is what they did in the United Kingdom regarding adoptions – because the liberal fascists demanded that Catholics violate their conscience and adopt children to gay couples, the Church was forced out of the adoption business altogether. The ultimate liberal goal is, of course, to destroy the Church – and they are more than willing to do it in incremental steps, each time calling to witness a misrepresentation of mercy and justice.

Make no mistake about this: we are in a fight for our liberties. All of them. The left, checked in Tuesday’s election, isn’t going to give up. They’ll just keep pressing their case by every avenue available, confident that they’ll eventually wear us down. This is why our fight must be across the board – no truce, ever. While one issue might become temporarily more important than others in the day-to-day battle, we have to be mindful of the big picture, and go toe-to-toe with the left where ever it rears its ugly head.

From CBS:

With their sweeping electoral victory in hand, Republicans are committed to ending earmarks – the local-project riders to legislation – and focusing on the big national issues, a top Senate Republican said Wednesday.

“We can’t have 500 congressmen and senators who think it’s their job to bring home the bacon – and that’s what’s going to change,” South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint told CBS’ “The Early Show. “One of the first thing we’ll do in the House and Senate is ban earmarks as Republicans – that’ll get our eyes back on fixing our tax code, fixing social security and Medicare, getting America back to work.”…

It is in pressing these common sense, populist reforms where we’ll gain our traction, where we’ll gain the genuine respect of the American people, and the long term lease on power which that will bring.

We have to hit the ground running – there are plenty of popular things to do which, acted upon swiftly, will bring credit to us and which will set the narrative for 2012 even if (actually, especially if) Democrats manage to block them either in the Senate or with Obama’s veto pen. Genuinely reforming America will take either a complete change of heart on the part of Obama (unlikely), or the complete defeat of Obama and the Democrats in 2012. Until that, all we can do is hold the line and keep demonstrating why we should be entrusted with full power.

Remember that November 2nd was just Step 1. The process of reforming America will take years, and can’t fully get underway as long as Obama is President. We have to be prepared for long, drawn out and difficult times – including defeats along the way. But if we keep our eye on the ball and hold the Congressional GOP to the fire, we can do this, and save our nation from disaster.

So, Obama today started using the word “compromise.”

Amazing, isn’t it? This guy, who was supposed to be “a uniter” only finds the word compromise in his vocabulary when he loses his majority.

Eff that.

This is some of the best news out of the election – from CNN:

Voters in Iowa chose to remove three high court justices who helped make Iowa the first Midwestern state to permit same-sex marriage.

The vote marks the first time a member of the Iowa Supreme Court has been rejected by the voters under the current system that began in 1962…

Whether you favor of oppose same-sex marriage, if you are an American you must insist that judges not impose this novelty upon the American people. Something as large as this with so much public passion on both sides requires a democratic resolution – only if the people want it should it be done.

Additionally, this is yet another shot across the bow of the gay rights activists – keep pursuing your goals in the courts and you will eventually provoke an amendment to the United States constitution permanently defining marriage as between one man and one woman. The people have had quite enough of judges making laws – law-making is for the people, or their elected representatives, period.

The end of one-party rule means a lot of changes:

Republicans are likely to urge the Obama administration not to shred documents as they transition to the House majority. 



Before the election, GOP officials on Capitol Hill privately discussed the issue but refrained from publicly tackling it, not wanting to assume what would happen on Election Day.

 Now that Republicans will control the House, the shredding matter will move front and center…

No more just doing whatever you want – we’re watching you.

It happened last night, though some of our liberals seem to be latching on to Reid’s win as some sort of “victory”. It certainly is disappointing that this hopelessly corrupt and mindlessly Statist Democrat managed to win, but he’s actually a liability for the Democrats who have an even rougher task in 2012, even supposing the economy gets better and Obama gets re-elected. Right now, the Democrats have lost the House, lost the governorships, lost the State legislatures and have retained Harry Reid and a weak, unworkable majority in the Senate. A majority which merely ensures the Democrats remain responsible for everything which goes wrong, but which can’t advance an election-winning agenda.

Our task has now become more difficult – working to rescue America while also working to ensure Obama’s defeat in 2012. That is something we must not lose sight of. No matter what sort of triangulation Obama may try, we must eject him from the White House. He has proven himself not just incompetent, but divisive…America is weaker because he is President and putting him in for a second term is just too risky.

This will not be easy. Our economy is in shambles; our government is bankrupt. We have to balance the budget, cut taxes, restore productivity and do this all in a world becoming daily more dangerous. And we’ll have to do it while Democrats work for only one purpose – to return themselves to power so they can resume looting our nation for their personal benefit.

The war is not won – and, in fact, the biggest battle starts today. Get ready for it.
