Sarah Palin Said This

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/10/us/10iht-currents10.html?_r=3&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1315569719-RpR5AuX40tZqZl8xOiUg7g

She made three interlocking points. First, that the United States is
now governed by a “permanent political class,” drawn from both
parties, that is increasingly cut off from the concerns of regular
people. Second, that these Republicans and Democrats have allied with
big business to mutual advantage to create what she called “corporate
crony capitalism.” Third, that the real political divide in the United
States may no longer be between friends and foes of Big Government,
but between friends and foes of vast, remote, unaccountable
institutions (both public and private).

...

“Do you want to know why nothing ever really gets done?” she said,
referring to politicians. “It’s because there’s nothing in it for
them. They’ve got a lot of mouths to feed — a lot of corporate
lobbyists and a lot of special interests that are counting on them to
keep the good times and the money rolling along.”

...

Ms. Palin’s third point was more striking still: in contrast to the
sweeping paeans to capitalism and the free market delivered by the
Republican presidential candidates whose ranks she has yet to join,
she sought to make a distinction between good capitalists and bad
ones. The good ones, in her telling, are those small businesses that
take risks and sink and swim in the churning market; the bad ones are
well-connected megacorporations that live off bailouts, dodge taxes
and profit terrifically while creating no jobs.

...

“This is not the capitalism of free men and free markets, of
innovation and hard work and ethics, of sacrifice and of risk,” she
said of the crony variety. She added: “It’s the collusion of big
government and big business and big finance to the detriment of all
the rest — to the little guys. It’s a slap in the face to our small
business owners — the true entrepreneurs, the job creators accounting
for 70 percent of the jobs in America.”


Just putting information out there that I came across. I'm not supporting Palin.

My Life Motto and 9/11

I know that it has been 10 years since the Islamic terrorist attack on the U.S. when the airplanes slammed into the World Trade Towers in New York, the Pentagon, and the forcefully aborted airplane attack on either Congress or The White House.

I understand the need to commeroate the attack but I can't do it.

I remember the fear I had for family members who worked in D.C. at the time and I remember the cell telephone circuits becoming jammed once the world realized what was going on.

However...

I have a life motto -- one that is in the process of changing because of growing faith -- that says, "No matter what, life goes on."

So, I remember but I continue to live.

Payton Manning Should Be Criticized

Payton Manning had neck fusion surgery in the off season and had it
done too close to the, then, scheduled start of the new season, as far
as I'm concerned. He signed a new deal with the Colts, knowing from my
stand point, that he would not be ready for the new season. But that
deal signing is on the Colts.

Either way, I want to know why there is no serious criticism of
Manning for pushing the deal and why there is no criticism of the
Colts for doing the deal when Manning's health situation was known.

Roland Martin Speaks With Shelia Johnson Newman About Jobs

On the Tom Joyner Morning Show, Roland Martin interviewed Shelia Johnson Newman to discuss what President Obama should say concerning boosting the economy. Here are the take aways, as I heard it:

1. Don't promote another stimulus package.
2. Lower taxes.
3. Taxing the wealthy cannot be the only solution.
4. Her business accountants are telling her they can't plan because of they are unsure of regulations that may come from the Obama administration.

This is Shelia Johnson Newman, the ex-wife of Bob Johnson, founder of BET. This is Shelia Johnson Newman, supporter of President Obama.
