I almost said "false green shoots" in the subj: line, but then considered using "heads they win, tails you lose" before considering that there was very little point.
Our Government has NO "hope" of the consent of the people if the true circumstances facing us were clearly laid out.
When every cent written-off has to be replaced by a borrowed cent, there is no "hope" of a recovery ...got that John Maynard, Benny, and Timmy?

Tea Party Group Hit With Death Threats
At U.S. News:
One of Washington's principal supporters of the Tea Party movement, former GOP Majority Leader Dick Armey's FreedomWorks, has been receiving death threats and profanity-laced phone calls as it gets involved in the fall elections. The number and intensity have reached such heights that the organization is leaving its downtown location near the FBI and moving to a high-security building near the U.S. Capitol.And will more of the MFM report this? I mean, seriously, everybody is freakin' out, and perhaps, just maybe, the damned press will actually start reporting some of the extremism on the Democratic-left. (More freakage at Politico, "Democrats privately fear House prospects worsening," via Memeorandum.)
"FreedomWorks and Dick Armey receive dozens of threatening and harassing calls and E-mails each day. Many imply violence and use of weapons," spokesman Adam Brandon tells Whispers. "As we get closer to the election we expect the harassment to increase."
He says that FreedomWorks will hire additional security, meaning less money for its election-eve, get-out-the-vote, or GOTV, campaign. "Unfortunately, we may have to use resources for security guards that we would rather use for GOTV," he said.

Ground Zero Mosque Supporter Curses Out Holocaust Survivor: 'Obviously He Didn't Learn His Lesson'
At JWF:
Obviously a Michael Bloomberg and Barack Obama supporter. Classy guy. He calls the old man an unpatriotic, treasonous piece of garbage. A shame how the lamestream media ignored this.Cross-posted from American Power.
WHO's FUNDING ILLINOIS SENATE CANDIDATE ALEXI GIANNOULIAS?
Alexi GiannouliasThis was brought to our attention by DOUBLETAPPER (professional soldier, IDF, and friend):
Obama's buddy Illinois Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias is locked in a tight Senate race with strongly pro-Israel Republican Marc Kirk. Here's some interesting data on who is financing Giannoulias' campaign:
Mohammed SahloulMohammed Sahloul contributed $1,000 to the Giannoulias campaign on June 22.
Sahloul is the former president of the Mosque Foundation, a Bridgeview mosque that has numerous links to terrorist organizations. The Mosque Foundation contributed roughly $400,000 to four Islamic charities that were later shut down by the federal government for links to terrorism. According to the Chicago Tribune, the organizations receiving funds were: the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, the Benevolence International Foundation, the Islamic American Relief Agency, and Global Relief Foundation.
In 2004, the Chicago Tribune wrote of one instance where the mosque’s imam, Sheik Jamal Said, raised $50,000 from his congregants for the legal defense of Sami Al-Arian, a former University of South Florida professor who pled guilty in 2006 to raising money for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. While soliciting the contributions, Said reportedly called Israel “a foreign, malignant and strange element on the blessed land.”

I personally believe that we must not exclude the Muslims, that we must reach out to them, that we must strive to recruit the good Muslims in our struggle against the evil forces of Islamic Fundamentalism. I still say this, but this does not mean that I am a blind idealist; we are seeing more and more where the Muslims are using their mosques as political headquarters to disseminate propaganda sympathetic to terrorist causes, and their charities as funding instruments to finance terrorist organizations.
$1000 may not seem like a significant amount; a quick Internet search reveals that in 2008 Sahloul personally donated more than $10,000 to various political candidates. Those of you who vote in Illinois, please keep this in mind when you go to the polls this November; Alexi Giannoulias shakes hands with the financiers of terrorism.

The IDF's role in Israeli Society
...a comprehensive look at the historical and contemporary role and influence that the Israel Defense Forces has had in Israeli society, and highlights the benefits of the IDF as a “people’s army”-one which serves as a melting pot and strives to fit the needs of Israel’s ethnically, culturally, religiously, and socio-economically diverse array of citizens.
As a mandatory requirement for most citizens of Israel, many of whom fulfill their military service between the ages of 18-22, the IDF also seeks to equip its soldiers with the professional and educational tools needed to succeed following their service. The leading assumption is that by integration into the IDF, assimilation into Israeli society is...

Telling the Truth?
An old rich man of 70 walked into his exclusive men's club with a stunning young lady in her 20's on his arm.
A few of his fellow club members asked him while they were in the toilet, "How did you get something like that?"
"That's my new wife" he replied.
"How did you get her to marry you?"
"I lied about my age."
"Did you tell her you were 50?"
"No I told her I was 95."

Great truths about growing old
1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional…
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you’re down there.
4) You’re getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It’s frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions…
6) Time may be a great healer, but it’s a lousy beautician
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.

VBS TV: Afghanistan In The UK Part 3 of 5
'Night time mortar attacks lead into a day visit to Paghman village. A re-creation of an Afghan village complete with Afghani-refugees employed to man bazaars and restaurants. Suddenly a suicide bomber, played by one of the Gurkha soldiers who blend in among 2 Para, detonates his vest. The aforementioned Afghani refugees and the amputees / actors / stuntmen / ex-estate agents and aspiring comedians who work for an agency called Amputees In Action react in appropriate fashion. The army uses these guys a lot these days.'
Recovery? Genius!.............from Rico
Recovery?
Home sales reached a 15-year LOW in June. What then do you call this just-reported 27.2% DROP from that?
- I'd call it the 'bleeding edge' of the next leg downward.
A 'normal' housing market has about a six-month supply of homes. THIS market has a 12.5-month supply.
Still not convinced something is amiss? Still believe the Government can 'save' us?
- Biden (of "summer of recovery" fame) the GENIUS of modern time has just said "we're moving in the right direction."
NO we are NOT.
- Moving hard-left is NOT the right direction any more than downward is...what a 'maroon' (h/t Daffy Duck).

Recovery?...............from Rico
Be honest. Does THIS chart of cumulative bank failures look anything remotely close to the "recovery" BS we're being endlessly splattered with by the talking heads/teleprompter readers in the financial media, the lame-stream media, or our elected criminals?
The talk of a "double dip" is just as silly and meaningless as the "recovery" blather...we never left the recession to begin with, and we continue downward as an economy.
This is WHY your daily experience (what you see with your eyes and ears) does not 'mesh' with what you are being told.
Magical thinking (also known as delusional reality-avoidance) reigns supreme...until it suddenly does NOT.
Even the most gullible and stupid among us will eventually figure it out.
If You Can't Beat 'Em, Have a Seat
In spite of all our president's best efforts, it would appear that we are in a depression, not a "downturn." That, my friends, is what you'd call Hell on Earth.
But we're happy here in America, see, because we're learning how much we need to change. I don't mean them. I mean guys like me, bad redneck boys who say bad redneck things. "Change!" our president says. You can be sure I'll do that. But first!
Thanks for listening. Enjoy the entertainment. And remember . . . .

'Moderate Muslims Are Going to Be Pushed Into Joining Extremist Movements Like al-Qaida'
So much for moderate Muslims repudiating jihad:
Experts worry the controversy surrounding an Islamic center near ground zero in Lower Manhattan is playing right into the hands of radical extremists.Hey, Imam Rauf's dreams come true! Build a Victory Mosque at Ground Zero, alienate two-thirds of the American people and piss on the families of the fallen, then turn around and attack them all as a bunch "anti-Muslim bigots," which in turn induces all those millions of "peaceful" Muslims worldwide to show up at al Qaeda's recruiting stations.
The supercharged debate over the proposed center has attracted the attention of a quiet, underground audience — young Muslims who drift in and out of jihadi chat rooms and frequent radical Islamic sites on the Web. It has become the No. 1 topic of discussion in recent days and proof positive, according to some of the posted messages, that America is indeed at war with Islam.
"This, unfortunately, is playing right into their hands," said Evan F. Kohlmann, who tracks these kinds of websites and chat rooms for Flashpoint Global partners, a New York-based security firm. "Extremists are encouraging all this, with glee.
"It is their sense that by doing this that Americans are going to alienate American Muslims to the point where even relatively moderate Muslims are going to be pushed into joining extremist movements like al-Qaida. They couldn't be happier."
Brilliant.
And working true to plan. These folks are da bomb! Really!

VBS TV: Afghanistan in the U.K. - Part 2 of 5
'Day two of our almost completely sleepless five day embed with 2 Para and we get to know some young soldiers who are preparing to go to Afghanistan, or “Afghan” as it’s commonly termed, for the first time. Among them are the two young women who look after 2 Para’s dogs, one of them a brutal, combat-shocked Alsatian trained to attack people in civilian clothing that we had to steer clear of at all times. We follow the troops as they “kill” some Taliban, played by Afghani-refugees. Finally we get to share some down-time and black comedy with some of B-Company’s sergeants, who finally solve the age-old riddle “Why has (toddler’s favourite) Noddy got a bell on his hat?”'
