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.

UMMM---I'm not sure what to say about this ?
But then the administration moved to dismiss the charges the following month after getting one of the New Black Panther members to agree to not carry a "deadly weapon" near a polling place until 2012.

Four boxes of freedom-
We have four boxes with which to defend our freedom: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.

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.

Investors fear rising risk of US regional defaults
Investors are worried that the risk of default for US local governments is growing, amid signs that some regions are facing the same type of difficulty in curbing pension and budget deficits as some eurozone countries.

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.

"FOR the PEOPLE, BY the PEOPLE"
“FOR the PEOPLE, BY the PEOPLE” said Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg. How times have changed. Americans are continuously becoming more distrustful of their government. There are signs that hostility towards the government has begun to escalate across ethnic, financial, and religious lines. There is also considerable evidence that distrust of government is strongly connected to how people feel about the overall state of the nation.
Today, personal satisfaction is marginal, the economy is sputtering and confidence in state/federal governments is degrading each passing day, but neither dissatisfaction with the condition of the country nor lack of confidence in the state/federal government has been transformed into true physical hostility. The national mood and trust are both waiting for the next boot to drop. What shall spark this kicking of the national psyche into a frenzy: natural disaster, continued economic missteps by state/federal officials, or some unknown catastrophe?
Worry about the mood of American society is suppressing the change within the state of the nation, just as discontent with the honesty of elected officials is a leading cause of distrust of government. Mind you that this change is NOT government influenced but brought by an inherent pride and desire by the American peoples ideals that our forefathers envisioned for their future children. In the broadest sense, these concerns are now weighing down American attitudes as the continued blatant government corruption, trillion dollar deficits and unemployment that the American people have never witnessed to this degree.
Disillusionment with both political parties is essentially as important a factor in distrust of government as is criticism of the way government performs its duties, also known as stealing from the American people. Cynicism about leaders is especially critical to distrust beginning with the generations of Americans who came of age after the murder of John Kennedy, Vietnam war/Watergate eras, oil embargo, the 54 American who were left to rot until October, Beirut, the Persian Gulf fiasco, the Iran Contra scandal, the inside joke of “Just say NO”, Panama, Iraq 1, BCCI, Post office scandal, Vince Foster, Filegate , Whitewater, Somalia, Enron, Iraq 2, Lawyergate, the continued loss of our industrial production base over the past 40 years all the while expounding “Buy American”
Distrust of government and discontent with the country notwithstanding, there appears to be an unease indicating that these attitudes are near a crisis stage in certain realms. Public desire for ever increasing government handouts along with warped progressive agenda has brought distrust and a fostering of disregard for the nation's laws, eroding the can do American mentality and discouraging individual pride and success.
Most Americans describe themselves as frustrated with government, not angry at it. That frustration is taking a toll on the quality and nature of the relationship between the American public and its elected leaders both locally and in Washington. At what point does frustration become anger?With the failings of political leaders bearing so large a burden in Americans distrust of government, the continued misstep of both the Republican and Democratic parties appear to strike at the heart of TOTAL mistrust in government.
