The "moochers" now out number the "producers"

I know the left & right coasts our a lost cause for conservatives, but middle America is such a disappointment.
The reality is the "progressive’s" win

Perhaps ignorance, and/or apathy, and/or self-centered greed and/or fear that change would makes things worse… for them… 🙁

Not necessarily in that order…

Let us see how the people who try to make money based on their expectations of the future feel about the election.

Yesterday the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 133 points, based mostly on the expectation of a Romney win.

Today, with the news of Obama’s reelection, the Dow was down over 300 points and and closed down 312 points.

The Motley Fool did an analysis of what it takes for the market to drop 300 points. Here are some excerpts from their research:

"There have been fewer than 60 trading sessions in which the Dow suffered at least a 300-point loss."

Here is a list of some of the events that triggered those losses, in no particular order:

[list]504-point drop after Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy,

449-point plunge in the wake of the AIG bailout

778-point crash when the House initially rejected what would eventually become the TARP bailout

635-point fall when Standard & Poor’s downgraded the credit rating of the U.S.

685-point decline on the first day of trading after the September 11 attacks

The tech bust also contributed to major losses, as the untimely addition of Microsoft and Intel to the Dow in late 1999 near the market’s peak gave the average more tech exposure at exactly the wrong time.

Prior to that, losses tied to financial crises in Asian currency markets in 1997

and in Russia in 1998 caused big drops

as did 1987’s big crash and its 508-point plunge.[/list]

The conclusion is the market is placing the news of Obama’s reelection in the same category as some of the events listed above.

God Bless (the once great) America.

The Liberals, Lazy and Lame have so infested our once great nation that there is nothing we can do at this point but become unwilling passengers on this train which is speeding toward the inevitable wreck not to far down the tracks. Once the dust settles who will be there to offer us a Greece type bail out ?????????

I’m going into "Self Preservation" mode. Going to buy several thousands more rounds for my weapons. Stock pile non-perishable food stuffs and become even more prepared than I was before this. You folks in NY and NJ just got a small taste of what is in store when the inevitable crash happens. Your Ghetto Gators are really going to be fun to deal with once their free checks stop appearing on "Mothers Day" as it is called.

Good Luck

You guys don’t go buy that stock now. I finished all my shopping yesterday so there will be a dip soon! 🙂

When the crash comes my bullets and guns will be worth more than stocks. I’ll be able to sell either for what ever I want. Getting everything cleaned up, oiled and ready. Have a thousand yard range here to practice on as well. All that military training will come in handy.

Sorry to see it come to this. But, the Ghetto Gators will have a lead filled day coming out here to shop five finger discount.

Sadly, I think this sums things up

Wondered if you would post the last one. Saw it in the paper.

I remember when I was a kid and went hunting with the relatives . They all LOL WHEN MY FRIENDS FROM THE CITY CAME WITH THEIR AUTOS AND HINT NOTHING WITH 20 ROUND CLIPS.They would say what a wast of ammo. They all cared single shot shot guns.
I just LOL when I hear all these hunters talking about all the assault weapons that they need for hunting. Using choppers for hunting give me a break or should I say give the animals a break.
In my home town they just added a new tax on guns.
I think they should just make it harder to buy ammo. Like you can only get more if you bring what you have used.Bring your brass and get more. I think that everybody should be able to own them if they want . But if you don’t use them why have them. Most of my relatives have more guns then arms. But they use them for different game.

Quite a few people I know use "Semi-Automatic" rifles to hunt with. I have never run across anyone possessing a legal Automatic weapon that hunts with it. And I know of no state which does not have laws or regulations that limit the number of rounds carried in rifles.

So we can stop the lawlessness by controlling bullets, make it difficult for the law abiding to get them. Ok, I’ll bite. How is that going to stop the criminal from getting all they want. Here’s a better idea, we can have all the guns we want. They just have to be given over to the police for storage and you can only access them for cause. Your going hunting … Yea, you can have this rifle and one bullet. No, you can’t have this one for home protection, that’s what we the police are for.

Really, your for gun ownership? Just under restrictive terms … For the good folks.

Yea I know, that isn’t where you were going with your post. I was just on a rant. I’m tired of people telling me what is good for me or not. My "Collection" numbers are meaningless to anyone but me and 95 percent have only been out of the safe’s for cleaning. Not a shot from any of them.

As a retired Police Officer I have more insight into the harm caused by unlawfully possession of them than most. I will vehemently fight for the law abiding persons unabridged right to guns and ammunition.

Stephen C I am clad that you are enjoying your retirement years and hope that you see many more. It is hard when it comes to retirement for you guys. You can remember the real bad ones that you put away but not all and that leaves you with an uncertainty when meeting new people. I have friends that are cops and some times it is hard to pick a place to go out.
I wish that the laws would be enforced more . Some times I think that your hands are tied and I am no were near the bad guys.
Good Rolling. 😀
