6. Freepers don't like the country first meme either

Am I the only person who thinks this “country first” theme is total baloney?

We’re giving the socialists all of the spiritual nourishment they need— they can nationalize energy, nationalize healthcare, nationalize finance etc while saying, “country first!”

The entire point of America is INDIVIDUALISM, not sacrifice. We are the architects of our own lives. Sacrifice isn’t good in itself— one should only sacrifice if the result is a net gain.

So to be a good conservative, you only help others if there is something in it for you. And they think this is a good thing to think.

8. "one should only sacrifice it the result is a net gain."

"oh, and thanks jesus!"

i'm assuming they mean net cash gain? because in that case they're condemning martyrdom

7. Forget "Country First" - My sister lives in McCain's state of AZ & about to get screwed

My sister, a former police officer who is now disabled from a duty related injury, lives in John McCain's home state of Arizona. In 2005, she got tricked into a predatory lending scheme where a prominent sports celebrity living in California is the “front man”.  It is a multi-state fraud ring. The celeb lives in California, but the rest of the parties are in other states.  The legal system in Arizona is pointing the finger, saying the case belongs in California, California says it belongs in Arizona, and all the other states also say the case belongs in AZ.

She has contacted everyone possible, including the Arizona, California, Washington St. & North Carolina Attorney Generals, the State & District Attorneys, has hired two different (supposedly the best Real Estate lawyers) in Arizona but is still about to lose her house!!!  Real Estate law & the lawyers in AZ are not as sophisticated as they are in California. She has reached out to the Senator, her Assemblyperson, HUD, the Federal Government (FBI) task forces, you name it - NO ONE is helping her. She finally has been fighting the case herself, and been able to hold off the wolves, but now her case has been relocated to a new judge who is pretty much about to give her house to the bloodsucking parties who ripped her off, and she will lose everything.

You tell me how John McCain OR the Rupublicans are going to solve the national loan fraud & predatory lending problem if his own state's legal system refuses to handle the case, and the laws are so backward that a hard working woman could lose a house where she has half-a-million dollars equity in it? Talk about EVIL and an agenda that has NOTHING to do with..."Country First"

And, does anyone know WHO can she contact to bring this all together and do something to save her house????

9. Who is the mortgage holder, may depend on the state they are based in

Finding what state they are actually based in is the trick.
It has been the reichs position that banks and other korporate entities be unfettered by any regulation since forever, and in practice deregulation took place on RonnyRaygun and Boosh 1 terms with the final total dissolution of responsibility under booshII.
I am sorry your sister is in a bad position, and I could have told you don't bother with your don't give a shit senators. Unfortunately she is only one in millions that will be homeless during the coming fascist state and a depression that will make 1929 look like a picnic. I was sick with the onset of AIDS during the first boosh admin, and I eneded up homeless with no medical care for 2 years.
I have been writing to biddy dole and dickie burr about the crooked shit going on and burr had the nerve to tell me that it disturbed him that I would question darth cheneyburtons patriotism or honor. so I sent it to the local paper and they printed it the responses were less than heartening from other citizens.
As citizens you and I are screwed unless we can get the corporate fascists out of our power
structure.
I used to think that using the term fascism was just an insult.
After all the power grabs by oil, insurance, kkkorpsesmedia and with consolidations i am sure it is true fascism as close as a definition of the word is possible.
I had some holocaust survivors in the 1970-90s tell me it was like a repeating bad dream to them, that the US was going the way that Germany did. I have been trying for 30 years to be heard and I'm told "you are f in nuts" as a reply....
I had relatives that survived the kamps and I lived in an apartment building that had mostly kamp survivors as tenants.
Gollygee It sucks to be Cassandra.
I am almost always right, not because I am smarter or wiser, just more curious, nosy, crassly outspoken and I have spent the last 25 years trying to survive HIV,..so I have had a lot of time bedridden and to occupy my mind I read, and snoop the internet.
I also try to carefully consider what I say and research before I make a decision to spew what I think I know.
Being homeless won't be the worst of our problems being in the koncentration kamps that Haliburton has built with your tax dollars might be a bigger issue to more people.
Especially if the reich decides you are politically undependable, have a mental or physical disability , such as libertarian views, democratic views, are gay, black,in labor union, have hiv or congenital disease or muslim or too Christian as opposed to the KKKreestyan right.
