He has said he wants to tax capital gains more heavily.
People who make lots of money on capital gains do not like this.
So they are selling out of the stock market.
Look for record lows (again) soon.

What I Want For Christmas:
Ammunition. Lots of it.
You all may feel free to purchase for me any quantity of the following calibers:
.30-06 Springfield
.40 S&W
7.62x39mm
.380 ACP
9mm Parabellum
In that order. Do not worry about the different types or weights of bullets if it is all too confusing. Just don't get anything labeled "Blazer" OR "Glaser" brand. If it says Cor-Bon, Federal, Winchester, Speer, Gold-Dot, DPX, Barnes, or Hydrashock, you are in good shape. If the man at the counter says it's good and it costs about what the other boxes of the same quantity go for, it's probably fine. For the 7.62x39mm literally anything is fine, including the absolute cheapest stuff you can find in a box (no bags! )
If you absolutely INSIST on buying me something more expensive than a case or two of cartridges, get me any kind of an SKS billed as "shooter" grade or better, up to "Very Good" Save the money for ammunition, and avoid buying me a "collector" grade piece. You could also get me any model Glock handgun in .40S&W or 9mm and I would not throw you out of my house. If those are too icky and scary, a nice, tame, pump-action 12 gauge shotgun like a Mossberg Maverick (well under $200) or any flavor of the Mossberg 500 series or Remington 870 series will do nicely. Bonus for getting ammunition to go with it.
Please call the dealer to place your order if you purchase an SKS. They may not have one in stock.
In the alternative, you may give me cash. Know that it will be used on something from the above lists.
That is ALL I want for Christmas this year. I am 100% serious.
These sorts of things may be found at online stores like Ammoman (linked above), Surplus Bunker, AIMSurplus, J&G, SamCo, Ammo-Connection, CheaperThanDirt.

Goodness you Young People are stupid. The property-owners only restriction was a good idea.
That is all.

For those who don't know me personally, don't think I'm bitter (or clingy). I'm not perturbed in the least. God knows what he's doing, and he knows better than I do or you do who our president should be. Romans 8:28 still applies, AND the Conservatives are going to be coming out of the woodwork in the next few years, FINALLY.

This should befun good different.

I Call Shenanigans!
You would think, in a precinct with only 19 registered voters, they would leave the vote fraud alone.
You would think.
But 111% voter turnout isn't half bad!
And of course BO got almost 3x the votes McPalin did.

Democrats Intimidating Republican Voters Already
Voting has been going on for a couple of hours only, and already the shenanigans have begun to surface.
In Philadelphia the Democrats are the majority. SIX precincts have thrown Republican poll monitors out of polling places. Because a liberal judge said the Democrats could toss them out due to their minority status!
It's described as chaotic, and video is supposed to be out already. Not on the nightly news or daytime breaking news though I'll bet, because the alphabet networks are all in the tank for the One. And as we all know, if it's good for the One, it's good per se.
Nice, eh?
Oh, by the way, I guess Obama wasn't as prepared as he should have been for the vote. He took 15 minutes behind the curtain to cast his ballot. My wife took longer than me and she took probably less than a minute (and that carrying a baby!) But then, we took lists of candidates and propositions we were voting for/against, having done our homework.
But then again, you never know how many times he voted, since his buddies in ACORN could have him registered 14 times, so...

The Brownshirts Ascendant
If you expose the One as an America-hating "spread the wealth around" type, you should be killed.
Hmm. I bet this jerk Charles Bouley is probably against the right to keep and bear arms, as well.
Just wow.

A Controversy Obama Could End In A Single Day
So, Barry, were you born here, or not?
The truth will eventually out. And if it turns out he was NOT qualified to be President, BO will either be in a steaming pile of sh!t in the USA, or he'll coincidentally be on a junket to Kenya and just *oopsy* never come back.
smrstrauss THIS is what I was referring to. I think WND phrased it better than I did, and the whole mess is not even necessary.
As I said, however, it detracts attention for a moment from his rather thoroughly unmasked Marxist tendencies, and the fact that he quite happily would destroy the greatest nation on earth in the name of progress and equality.

Obama Willing to Crush US Economy.
The SF Chronicle put this on their website and didn't make a big splash about it, about the same time BO was talking about all you bitter-Americans clinging to your guns and religion. They didn't completely bury it because they knew it was a bombshell. They also didn't launch the bomb themselves. What does that say about a newspaper?
Obama has no problem with bankrupting coal-fired power plants.
That would be the coal-fired plants currently supplying half the energy in the USA.
HALF.
There is NO substitute for HALF the energy supply in the country. I am a huge fan of solar, and in particular solar-thermal energy myself, but the infrastructure is not there yet.
When gas spiked to double what it had been earlier this year, you know what BO said? He wished it would have happened more gradually. NOT that he wished it hadn't happened.
You know what he said about the price of electricity under his cap/trade carbon emissions global warming hoax plan? The cost of electricity "necessarily would skyrocket." He said it calmly, in a matter-of-fact way, and didn't seem to have a problem with it.
You know what happens when electric rates skyrocket, and half the energy supply in the country is removed over the course of a year or two? Your life sucks.
If you want your life to suck, be sure to vote Obama this Wednesday!
Oh, wait, surely he would spread the wealth your way. Surely the companies would NOT leave the country and take their money with them, and he could spread their wealth your way. Surely.
Of course Obama would take care of you, personally.
Wouldn't he?

Evil, GREEDY, Big Bankers INSIST on PROFITS vs. The Common Good!
Finally (from the Wall Street Journal)
The fools running the show want to give money to banks, whether or not they need it, whether or not they want it. Even if they were profitable and not in trouble. The people running the banks that EARNED a big-@$$ paycheck, object.
Why?
Because, as a condition of giving that money to the banks, the Fed doesn't want the banks to give bonuses and fat paychecks to anybody. You know, they want to break the law and require unwilling accomplices to break contracts, costing the heads of the banks LOTS of money.
FINALLY they are pushing back. Since it temporarily looks like the sky is not falling tomorrow, the capitalists and NON-SLAVE, NON-SUBJECT type Free Americans are resisting the naked attempts to socialize their industry and remove their profit incentives. They turned out to be self-interested after all, and God bless and help them for it. I was a little afraid I was the only one pissing into the wind here, but now I see again that there are others who will shout for their own defense also.
Good.
Note to the uninformed: money is fungible. If you use the bailout money to bail out customers, and non-bailout money to give bonuses, there is no way to tell which color of dollars went where. Then Barney Frank can open his fat socialist yap and b!tch and moan about corporate greed. Will somebody PLEASE vote that man out of office for me? Thanks.

China: The Economy is Failing There, Also.
...because everyone else's is.
They make about half of everything made in the world in China. When the world stops buying things, demand falls and manufacturers have to close down.
In China, they are closing by their tens of thousands. I know they have a couple of billion people over there, but still, losing a few hundred thousand jobs can't be a good thing for ANY country's economic outlook.
When the world economy comes back, China will be back on top also.
You don't think China will feel the heat?
Ask Mish
Look at the Naked Captialism
There is also a Calculated Risk that it will affect the interest rates here in the US of A, although I wouldn't be surprised to see Bernanke try to artificially hold them down. Because he understands the economy so well, you see? Keynes was right! Do it HARDER!
::shakes head:: This could be ugly. At least we can (and should) thank God that the corn grew high this year. You know, compared to the dust bowl we got the last time economic indicators were this bad.
