Dear Bank of America, I’d Like to Schedule a Default

burning_buckDear Bank of America;

Hi, it’s me, your customer Austin. I’m writing to schedule my mortgage default.

That’s right, I’m ready to schedule my mortgage default. Does that sound strange?

Well, believe me, Bank of America, I had hoped that our relationship wouldn’t come to this. But after months of trying to do business with you, I’ve decided that it’s probably in my best interest to just, you know – “walk away” from my mortgage.

How could it ever be in anyone’s best interest to default on a mortgage? And why would anyone ever want to default on a mortgage?

Ewart: The View From the Top of a Mountain

“When you look down at your feet, you see a very narrow horizon.  But when you look up into the sky, you feast on all of Heaven.” From Ron Ewart’s book, “Stare Deep Into the Cosmos.”

ewart_blogWhen I was in my 30′s, I learned to fly small airplanes.  I suddenly learned why many wives become pilot widows.  Although I never flew as high as Mount Everest (in my airplane you have to go on oxygen above 12,000 feet) the perspective one gets from three-dimensions, well above planet Earth, is not only exciting, it is exhilarating and sometimes intoxicating.  Flying can be an obsession.  It can draw you into the air like a drunk is drawn to alcohol.

Not long after Mt. Saint Helens blew its top off, in one of the most horrendous volcanic eruptions in the lower 48 since God knows when, I decided to take some pictures of the exposed volcano from the perspective of a high-flying bird and took my airplane to the Mountain. 

TARGET: Boxer

point_blank_blogDo you remember the scene? The Senate. Barbara Boxer hearing from a Brigadier General? Silly General! He addresses Barbara as “Ma’m”, and she CORRECTS him, telling him she’s “worked SO hard to earn the title, “Senator”, so please to use that when speaking to her.

Get a load of this letter!

Read the letter sent to Sen. Barbara Boxer from an Alaskan Airlines pilot within these pages.

Many of us witnessed the arrogance of Barbara Boxer on June 18, 2009 as she admonished Brigadier General Michael Walsh because he addressed her as “ma’am” and not “Senator” before a Senate hearing.

This letter is from a National Guard aviator and Captain for Alaska Airlines named Jim Hill. I wonder what he would have said if he were really angry. Long fly  Alaska !!!!!

Beaman: Blacks Vote Democratic – WHY?

eye_on_america_newIt’s a political truism that the most reliable voting bloc for the Democratic Party is the blacks. I cannot understand why. The Democratic Party is the party of more government power, the single entity that has been at the very heart of harassment of blacks throughout our history.

It started with slavery, the single greatest institutional abomination this country ever perpetrated. Oh certainly, we did some horrible things to the Indians but it was through violations of treaties and other treacheries but it wasn’t anything recognized by our Constitution as a way of life, as was slavery.

Caruba: Obama’s Make-Believe Life

obama_newmanI have this theory about Barack Obama. I think he’s led a kind of make-believe life in which money was provided and doors were opened because at some point early on somebody or some group took a look at this tall, good looking, half-white, half-black, young man with an exotic African/Muslim name and concluded he could be guided toward a life in politics where his facile speaking skills could even put him in the White House.

In a very real way, he has been a young man in a very big hurry. Who else do you know has written two memoirs before the age of 45? “Dreams of My Father” was published in 1995 when he was only 34 years old. The “Audacity of Hope” followed in 2006. If, indeed, he did write them himself.

Dwyer: “Liberal” Non-elimination

opinion_blogThe “Liberal” idea of not eliminating our sworn enemies (mainly, Islamic terrorists) is well rooted in a similar “Liberal” non-elimination idea directed at domestic criminals. It was being perpetuated by various leftist groups, and was once advertized as “educate not incarcerate” and nicknamed as “hug the thug” program. Although it correctly assumes that the bad guys will tend to not assail us, at least for a time being, if we pay them handsomely not to, it ignores two important facts of life: that our sworn enemies, as well as the criminals, tend to multiply faster than we do, and that the lion share of their aggressively violent stance towards us is the result of their overpopulating their societies as well as heredity of the genetic traits that impact their destructive and asocial, if not barbaric, behavior.

Lewis: State of the Union, January 2, 2010 A.D.

39_steps_blogWell, another year has gone by. And we – the American people – are still killing innocent people in Iraq, Afghanistan, and who knows how many other lands, lands made up of people that have done us absolutely NO harm

Most of these countries have no means of attacking America and carrying on a war with America on American soil, let alone for a decade. What this means is that the U.S. Military and thousands upon thousands of hired assassins (mercenaries, CIA, and black ops groups that even Congress does not know about, nor asks about) are attacking innocent people without cause and, needless to state, without war declared.

This, People, is against all that is moral and righteous, and far more criminal than you walking over to your neighbor’s house, killing him and his family and taking his property. There is NO justification for such acts. It is vile behavior that I never thought I would see the American people go along with.

Worden: That Was a Successful Terror Attack

opinion_blogMake no mistake about it:  That “attempt” to blow up the commercial airliner over Detroit on Christmas Day was a successful terrorist attack based upon the fact the terrorist was able to access a commercial airliner with explosive contraband.  It matters not that the bomb concoction of PETN did not explode as intended:  The operation, in every other aspect of this incident, was a success for Al Qaeda.

Just recently, the TSA guide for screening was published over the Internet.  Did that guide include information about pat-downs and where the TSA screeners could and could not apply such pat-downs on the body? 

Cantor: B Hussein O Shooting Off His Mouth Again

obamathon_thumb“That is not acceptable, and I will not tolerate it”.

The Usurper in Chief has not said who, if anyone, in the government might be held accountable for not connecting the dots in the Christmas day “almost disaster”.

You keep looking all grim and keep saying that is not acceptable, but you can only say that so many times you jerk, it is about time you move or get off the pot.
