Larry the Legend Loc: Not hiding in Milton

I think this says it all:

"Sadly, many in those communities believe it. They believe the reason they lost their homes is because when they fell behind on payments and were foreclosed upon, it was because those big banks forced them to take out a loan they couldn’t afford -- without realizing that their congressional representative forced those banks to lend them the money in the first place."

They were 'forced' to sign! The banks held a gun the their head and said 'sign, or else!' And here's 'Auntie Maxine' to the rescue, she's gonna make them big bad bankers pay! I***ts.

Add to that, these loans were designed to make the repayments easy for the first five years, then the interest rate ramped up from the 1% (or so) starter rate to more than 8% for the next 25 years, easily doubling the repayment amount overnight. Of course they defaulted. They could barely afford the teaser rate, and the banks knew it when they made the loans but they were forced to do it anyway.

Of course, it all came crashing down when enough of these indigent mortgagees defaulted. But of course it did, even Custer's horse saw that one coming. Giving a mortgage to someone whose only income is from the Social Security Administration is absolute lunacy, the banks knew it, but the government (looking at you, Maxine) didn't, and the government is the one with all the force.

Once again, big government interferes in a market that works as it's supposed to and the whole system comes crashing down. And the solution? Well, more big government of course!

What's just a tad frightening about the way the left is constantly pushing at every turn is that at the same time, they seem to be blocking every avenue for trying to be reasonable, as though they want to see how far they can push before the only recourse left is forceful resistance.

I truly don't believe the rank and file useful i***ts who call themselves "progressives" understand that the l*****ts who've been pulling the strings have no qualms about plunging America into another civil war, if that's what it takes to achieve their goals, or about the universal results of backing people into a corner.

They believe they can just keep pushing the envelope and continuing to blatantly eliminate civil discourse as a means to solving any of our differences.

That's worked pretty well for them so far - if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?

These are but the point men and women, most of them naive, unwitting and corrupt, for a force that caused misery and death throughout the 20th Century.

Yes, and they seem quite satisfied with results as they stand so far; otherwise they'd start making changes, would they not?

Seth

They are the poster "children" for the phrase "be careful what you wish for."

If they ever arrive at the end of the road they are helping to pave, they will find themselves in the unpleasant antithesis of the Utopia they seek, and it will be too late to reverse course.

Unfortunately, they will have d**gged those of us who knew better and wanted no part of it down with them.

I've always been a live and let live kind of guy, but when others try to force something on me that I know I want nothing to do with, I can become just a tiny but militant, and these gullible, short-sighted useful i***ts are beginning to stimulate my survival instincts in a big way.

Ocasio-Cortez is not the shiniest apple in the basket, but can you imagine the mentality of the people who v**ed for her?

Sounds like you're ready for secession. Wanna start our own Confederacy?

how about that Jake, its empty, always knew it was.

Seth

I've been getting the feeling that, at the rate the left is deteriorating this country, something along those lines, in the name of sustaining the liberty of those of us who cherish it is not far off.

Larry the Legend Loc: Not hiding in Milton

Mmm-hmm. Just remember what happened last time and be ready for a fight...

I heard a wise lady on MLevin sunday nite seems to think 5 years is all we got then it will be lock and load.

Seth

I wouldn't discount that, and I also wonder if it would be that far off.

Nikita K banged a shoe on the desk and told us back in the 60's that we would be taken down from within. Mike
