A Friend Walks 800 km Across Spain! El Camino de Santiago

A very close friend of mine whom I have known since the age of 10, just completed an 800 Kilometer walk through Spain in 32 straight days. We are very proud of his achievement! You can see the entire walk in an incredible series of 434 photos here. The trip started off badly as a commercial airliner crashed at the Madrid Airport while he was there to connect to a flight where his long march began in the South of France.
El Camino de Santiago is the ‘Way of Saint James’. Although my friend is Jewish and a successful businessman, he wanted to take time off to experience this challenging pilgrimage, and can’t say enough good things about the incredible scenery and warm people he met on this long journey.

Hey Jennifer, Prosecute This You Witch

OBAMA IS NOT A CHRISTIAN, AND YES, HE WILL RAISE TAXES ON THOSE EARNING BELOW $250,000!!!

I hereby urge Missouri Prosecutor, the witch Jennifer Joyce to prosecute me for asserting the above loudly!

Prosecutor Jennifer Joyce, and other Missouri law enforcement personnel who have joined Obama’s “truth squad” should themselves be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for voter intimidation, crude violations of the first amendment, and corrupt, abuse of their public office. This is a real jaw-dropper and a little jail time would send the right message to other public officials inclined to abuse their office in such a blatant manner.

These folks are clearly bucking for an Obama appointment should he win and have decided to abuse their public office to win favor with the presidential candidate. A blatant and unprecedented assault on the first amendment with police state-like tactics. They are clearly trying to intimidate voters and claim a monopoly on truth. That the Obama folks would ask them to do this is also beyond the pale and a real eye-opener as to what may be in store for free speech in this country should he be elected.

I certainly don’t believe that being a member of the insane Reverend Wright’s Church for 20 years qualifies anyone as a “Christian”. A whitey-hating, Jew-hating bigot, maybe, but not a Christian. As for Taxes? Yes, Obama will raise your taxes if you earn under $250,000. Do you have a problem with me believing that and saying so loudly, Prosecutor? Bring it on witch.

PS: And yes, this is a public assault on your character because I believe that anyone who would use their public office to try to suppress free speech is a person of low character who shouldn’t be anywhere near real power.

New York Times, September 30th, 1999:

Fannie Mae Eases Credit to Aid Mortgage Lending

By STEVEN A. HOLMES
Published: September 30, 1999

In a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, the Fannie Mae Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders.

The action, which will begin as a pilot program involving 24 banks in 15 markets — including the New York metropolitan region — will encourage those banks to extend home mortgages to individuals whose credit is generally not good enough to qualify for conventional loans. Fannie Mae officials say they hope to make it a nationwide program by next spring.

Fannie Mae, the nation’s biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate income people and felt pressure from stock holders to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits.

”Fannie Mae has expanded home ownership for millions of families in the 1990’s by reducing down payment requirements,” said Franklin D. Raines, Fannie Mae’s chairman and chief executive officer (and current Obama advisor). ”Yet there remain too many borrowers whose credit is just a notch below what our underwriting has required who have been relegated to paying significantly higher mortgage rates in the so-called subprime market.”

Barney Frank’s fingerprints are all over the financial fiasco

MSNBC is Married to Fannie Mae

PART OF THE PROBLEM: Yes, they don’t just cover for each other, they actually sleep together: David Gregory and BETH WILKINSON. Wilkinson served as the bankrupt Fannie Mae’s executive vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary from February 2006 until just a few days ago when things got too ugly. Beth Wilkinson and her lefty hubby, NBC’s David Gregory. Yep, you can really tell they’re looking out for you and all the little people. Don’t they just look like they deserve to be bailed out by that tax paying pig farmer from Nebraska?

But don’t worry, because David Gregory would never go on the air to report about this crisis without a disclaimer about his wife’s role…oh wait….yes he would. and Oh yeah, financial records indicate that Beth Wilkinson has contributed $4,600 to Obama’s presidential campaign.

Nazi-Like Law Enforcment “Truth Squads” for Obama

UPDATE: Missouri Governor Responds to Obama Nazi tactic:

JEFFERSON CITY – Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.

“St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.

“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.

Law enforcement officials have been asked by the Obama campaign to prosecute anyone “not telling the truth” about Obama. A group of Public Prosecutors and Sheriffs who support Obama have announced that they will “go after” anyone calming that Obama is not a Christian and wants to raise your taxes if you earn less than $250,000. Claiming a monopoly on “truth” they intend to use the full wait of officialdom to “go after” those who dispute their “truth”. There are simply no words. These folks themselves should be prosecuted for voter intimidation and misuse of their official positions.
