Death Cross Forming

Cant argue with the movement of the market...but I've read alot of articles that say the market technicals and historical movments mean nothing today. They CANNOT predict the market based upon previous trends due to the substantial change in fundamentals over the past 100 years...so who knows....no wonder there there is NO stability in any of the markets.

If this wasnt so TRUE it wouldnt near as funny!

Obama is as hopeless, helpless, clueless and bankrupt of good ideas as the manager of the Chicago Cubs in late September. This "community organizer" knows as much about private-sector jobs as Pamela Anderson knows about nuclear physics.

For me Independence Day is:

For me Independence Day is: a day of celebration a day of remembering the past and what I want in the future. So this year, when we are planning our parties, take a moment and reflect on the significance of the occasion.

Due to a lack of historical patriotism and progressive influence in our society, most Americans view the 4th of July as either a nuisance due to fireworks or just a day off from work to drink beer and enjoy fireworks. I guess both of those are acceptable and certainly each has their right. However we have that right and freedom due to the greatness of our founding fathers. We celebrate the founding of our great nation on the 4th of July. Unfortunately as a nation we have allowed the leftist apologetics to influence and degrade the one American holiday that should unite each of us under one ideal and vision. Our founding fathers were strong, brave and interesting people. Although they all didn’t agree 100% of the time they shared a common vision. The American people need to know about that vision and the sacrifices made by our forefathers, men and women who were willing to give their lives for freedom. The cost of our freedom was paid in real blood; real dying. Our founding fathers could not press the button on a remote control, when they were out of life, and start over.

Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye, I declare the following...bring some fun back to our country, be damned the liberals who sue to remove the flag from our schools, who believe the Constitution is open to interpretation or is a living document, and the crowd who made everything so politically correct. I suspect there the same folks who regulated lawn darts out of existence.

Proclamation (with some thoughts to ponder):
-Let us celebrate with our families, friends, and take a moment to say hi to a passerby no matter what race or creed. Its America!
-Let us have "The Star-Spangled Banner", "God Bless America", and "Yankee Doodle", blaring from our boom boxes. Not made in America…the boom box not the song.
-Let there be our grand old flag flying from the highest point on every house, every business, every school, and every government facility. Unfortunately the flag was probably made in Taiwan or Macau.
-Let us challenge each other on trivia facts involving the birth of our nation. One such example would be: How many signers were there of the Declaration of Independence?
-Free tickets to baseball games-yes I’m a baseball fan…all baseball fields should have kids playing games. The baseballs are made in China and Costa Rica.
-Let there be hot dogs, apple pie, and watermelon. Take turns cranking the handle on an ice cream freezer, for the best ice cream you ever tasted. No doubt some liberal knucklehead will introduce legislation to ban ice cream due to some perceived unhealthy effect of brain freeze.
-Sit around in the yard (front or back), in lawn chairs, or on quilts (that your mom, grandma, aunts, sisters made) spread out on the lawn and have conversations about our country. Where is it headed? How can we make it better?
-Watch the children, and possibly a few adults, run through the water spraying from the sprinkler or on the slip and slide (again the leftist will try and ban the slip and slide if they could). Take the kids and throw them in the pool or river…yeah I know child abuse.
-Put your hand over your heart (unlike Mr. Obama), face the flag, swell up with pride and recite the Pledge of Allegiance and leave in the "one nation under God".

BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, AFTER ALL, WE THE PEOPLE LIVE IN THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
