			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That bastion of accuracy, the S&#038;P downgraded the USA on Friday, August 5th after the markets were closed.  But anybody with Google finance can easily see that the sell off began on August 3rd when the June 15th lows were taken out.  Do you really think that the guys with the money were surprised by the S&#038;P downgrade?  The charts show what is really happening.  Those guys sold weeks ahead of the news (could they have already known it was coming? Nah..), now they are going to take your money (again) as you sell into the bad news.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not that bad.  Don&#8217;t miss this opportunity to buy American.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The latest on the shooter in Norway&#8230;</p>
<p>“What we know is that he is right wing and a Christian fundamentalist.”</p>
<p>Where did they come up with that?  Everything that I understand about the &#8220;fundamental&#8221; elements of Christianity point to a different interpretation of this perpetrators actions.  I&#8217;ve always put forth my Christianity an indicator of my willingness and my desire to see the best in everyone, as an example of Charity and Love.  After all the recent acceptance of pornography and homosexuality, is this what we are left with?  Christians are the murderers?</p>
<p>God really HAS given us over hasn&#8217;t He?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, I&#8217;m not a birther nor given easily to conspiratorial ideas, nor am I an Adobe Illustrator expert (I am with Adobe Photoshop).  However I duplicated the issues outlined by several people regarding President Obama&#8217;s recent release of his purported Birth Certificate by opening it in Adobe Illustrator (I used CS3) and examining the results.</p>
<p>After moving the layered text to a new location, it&#8217;s evident that some of the letters of the text are not on the same layer.  Note the &#8216;S&#8217; in Stanley or the &#8216;K&#8217; in Kenya for instance along with several other characters.  There may be a perfectly good explanation for this, but the PDF document appears to have been manipulated digitally.   Why does the PDF file appear to have been manipulated?</p>
<p><a href="http://geezerblog.50something.us/wp-content/Birth-Certificate-Layers.jpg"> <div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 460px"><img alt="Birth Certificate Layers" src="http://geezerblog.50something.us/wp-content/Birth-Certificate-Layers.jpg" title="Certificate Layers" width="450" height="220" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Birth Certificate Layers</p></div></a></p>
<p><a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCMxVbPCPBY' >Birth Certificate Manipulated?</a></p>
<p>Update: It is being reported that this digital PDF was created by an OCR scanner that automatically created the layers in the process of printing the document.  I think this is a plausible explanation and it is probably the correct one.  It is unfortunate though because it adds additional fuel to an issue that could have been easily put to rest.</p>

<p>If competition is lacking, the government has means to break a monopoly.  The did it with the telephone company and they could do it with the insurance companies if that were really the issue.  It&#8217;s not, half of the country has figured out that they can vote themselves the other half of the country&#8217;s money.   This whole &#8216;healthcare&#8217; debate stinks.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;You only learn who has been swimming naked when the tide goes out&#8221; &#8211; Of course Warren Buffet is correct.  Concerning the financial crisis, why didn&#8217;t we see it coming?  </p>
<p>I did.  Did you?</p>
<p>On a world wide scale, some politicians and some bankers have been rejecting time-honored principals of sound financial judgement.   Here in America, the very same politicians charged with protecting the public interest are now &#8216;bailing out&#8217; some of the very same bankers that caused the problem in the first place!  They say that they are preventing further hardship for all of us but I suspect that they are also frantically trying to cover themselves and their poor judgement.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve put the fox in charge of the chicken coop who after finding the chicken coop empty yet again, tells us that the problem can be solved if we only put some more chickens in the coop!  Are we really that stupid?</p>
<p>Only vote for politicians that fear the judgement of God.  If they don&#8217;t fear God, do you think that they will fear the people?</p>
