Consider this map in NYC mortgage defaults in the context of Clinton’s gutting of loan requirements back in 1995 because after all, the need to have an income when buying a home is a form of discrimination. Not having the money for a down payment is a form of discrimination. Looking at one’s past credit history is a form of discrimination...thus the crisis we are in. And why shouldn’t welfare recipients not use their welfare checks (err I mean their “public assistance” checks) to buy homes???

This is exactly why liberal democrats block any form of regulatory oversight of Fanny and Freddie. They were too busy shoveling out the money and letting their friends walk off with $100Ms in bonuses and salaries as they defrauded Fanny and Freddie.

And with the help of the liberal media...the blame for this crisis is falling into the republican’s laps – and McCain’s lap –WHEN McCAIN WAS ONE OF THE WHISTLE BLOWERS ON THIS MESS. HE TRIED TO STOP IT!!! I am not a fan of McCain but facts are facts.

I wish this map was available for income rather than race/ethnicity...but it does tells a tale none the less.

No one is against helping people to some level...but the notion that “everyone deserves a home” has proven dangerously reckless and has helped bring the world’s banks to their knees. Poison paper = blended risk instruments. That was what Fanny was selling banks all over the world – poison paper where the underlying assets where a mix of good mortgages and bad mortgages...this is why this is so hard to sort out. Lending had no choice but to freeze-up – YOU CAN’T LEND (or BORROW) AGAINST ASSETS OF UNDETERMINED VALUE!!!

And remember the Clinton Administration imposed this lending on the banks – Fanny served to make the impractical not only possible...but in the short term – very profitable. With a government gun to their heads and ACORN storm troopers weeding out the unwilling and with money to be made...few banks would not fall into line.

And Obama helped ACORN threaten the banks that would not lend into this madness.

Thanks Mark for this improved forward, an old-timer that invokes the powerful imagery of bird poop and corn flakes, this one now boasts a larger, more readable font and chilling closer line addressed to those who(m?) choose not to forward this important dirty bird analogy. Says Mark, "The imagery is not exactly Joycean but one works with what one has, I suppose." Hah!

Somalian arrives in Minneapolis as a new immigrant to the United
States.

He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says,
"Thank you Mr. American for letting me in this country, giving me
housing,
food stamps, free medical care, and free education!"

The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am Mexican."

The man goes on and encounters another passerby.

" Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America !"

The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese."

The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops,
shakes his hand and says, "Thank you for the wonderful America!"

That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Middle East ,
I am not American!"


He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an American?"

She says, "No, I am from Africa !"

Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the Americans?"

The African lady checks her watch and says..."Probably at work."

Subject: FW: A Sad Parallel

A Sad Parallel...

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table...everywhere. Then some of the birds turned mean: They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud: They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food. After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be...quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now lets see...our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen. Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families: you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor: you child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English: Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to press "one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than "Old Glory" are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.
