Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?

And gas was at 1.89 in Jan., 2008
Now it is 3.50.
The dow didn't even stay up with inflation, much less gain.

We need 53 dollars a share and all government held stock to be sold to break even for the taxpayers. Thats not counting the interest on the money that was borrowed for the bailout. And every volt sold loses money for GM.
Dump all that stock on the market and it races down to the bottom.

You guys are so funny. From the abc news story: "The Stennis group arrived in the Fifth Fleet’s area of operations on Oct. 17 to replace the USS Enterprise, which was on the final deployment of its 50 years of service. " So Admiral Gaouette’s removal was due to his attempting to support Ham's strike force on September 11? But his fleet was not on station in the Middle East until more than a month later. At the time of the attack in Benghazi, the Stennis was en route from Bremerton, Washington. |
