  1. Moving To Mexico Dear President Obama: I'm planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me. We're planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements. We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Enrique Pena Niete, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following: 1. Free medical care for my entire family. 2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not. 3. Please print all Mexican government forms in English. 4. I want my grandkids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers. 5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history. 6. I want my grandkids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school. 7. Please plan to feed my grandkids at school for both breakfast and lunch. 8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services. 9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico, but, I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws. 10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer. 11. I plan to fly the U.S. Flag from my house top, put U S. Flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals. 12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start. 13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy. 14. I want to receive free food stamps. 15. Naturally, I'll expect free rent subsidies. 16. I'll need Income tax credits so although I don't pay Mexican Taxes, I'll receive money from the government. 17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Gov't pays $4,500 to help me buy a new car. 18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I'll get a monthly income in retirement. I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who walk over to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that President Enrique Pena Nieto won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely. Thank you so much for your kind help. You're the man!!! Now, having read this do you not see how ridiculous & unrealistic this policy is? Mexico would rather shoot you than do any of the above.

  2. my friend. You have insulted and defamed an entire race of people. You have blamed a generation of things it is not responsible for. You have insulted an entire group of hard working, tax paying men and women who pay into the very system that supports the entitlement programs that are sucking this country dry. You my friend are due a time out. You speak of christian attitudes and yet you spew the very hatred you speak against. Tell me who forks out millions of dollars every time there is a world catastrophy? Tell me where it comes from? Usually America. But yet "we" don't contribute anything good. Go to Lowes, buy some wood, build a bridge and get over it. You drivel is getting tiresome.

  4. by William Bigelow 31 Aug 2012 Bring it on, Dems and you Obama-shills in the media. You want to criticize Clint Eastwood’s performance at the RNC? Go for it. Here’s why we can’t wait for you to mock this American icon: 1. No real American likes it when people make fun of someone who represents the image of American toughness. The only people who mock macho Americans are effete leftists who are uncomfortable with a strong America, and that won’t play with most Americans, who are proud of being strong and independent. 2. The more you pick on Eastwood, the more it becomes apparent that you’re desperate to find something, anything to avoid acknowledging that Romney and Ryan were simply terrific and you’re scared to death. 3. As you embarrass and reveal your true selves mocking an American Icon -- as you waste all that energy -- it's not energy being fired at Romney the day after his convention. Talk about falling into a trap of your own making. 4. This is the most important reason: down deep, most Americans know a dirty little secret you try so hard to hide: All of the Dems running the government are the spiritual descendants of the radicals of the 1960’s. Barack Obama is a disciple of Bill Ayers and Saul Alinsky. And one of the hallmarks of the 60’s radicals (I know, I was there) was to mock the generations that came before them. That meant everyone older than the young, unrepentant, nasty, unpatriotic radicals who hated America. When you mock Eastwood, you confirm for all of us that you truly are the spiritual descendants of those 60’s radicals. It’s beautiful, you are simply pulling the masks off and revealing who you really are. And the faces underneath are ugly.

  5. The US is saturated with Immigrants that come here legally. They arrive here with no prospect of earning a decent living to support themselves and their families. They rely on public assistance to pay their rent, food costs and health care. American taxpayers have to absorb the cost. At some point we need to close the boarders. It's too easy for immigrants to relocate to the US. Our tax dollars should be directed to the American taxpayers, period. Hey BO when can I have I have free health care? I make too much money to receive free healthcare and yet I can't afford to buy an individual policy. Why do Immigrants receive free health care and the middle class Americans go without? I started working when I was 15 years old. I am now 49. I have paid my share of federal, medicare, social security and property taxes. I'm not feeling too compelled in supporting immigrants when the American workers have to pay their bills.

  6. So it seems quite the timing of Rothschild, through is subordinate Hayward, to chime in now that the delegation from the United States has paid their visit to Al-Maliki and let him know that he has been caught and, if he wants to keep his head, he will play ball NOW. looks like my friend Adam Montana is right on the money, the hcl is about to get to passed. [kcw] simon8957 - An article titled "Parliament yielded to the demands of the Kurds and the Commission on article 140" I felt this was a great article your thoughts on this article and does this mean the HCL is one step closer??? [Adam Montana] simon, GREAT observation - that and a few other articles have been signaling to us that the HCL is nearing completion and has been nearing completion for some time now. [Adam Montana] In a word - "YES". [Adam Montana] In a word - "YES". Read more: http://dinarvets.com/forums/index.php?/topic/127801-adams-official-chat-9512/#ixzz25vlQaXJh and as we know, Rothschild doesn't do much predicting or speculating. i believe we are about to find out really soon how much our investment is worth my friends. ========================================================== Baghdad-Erbil oil dispute will get solved, says Hayward 08/09/2012 14:43 ERBIL, September 8 (AKnews) – The Kurdistan Region's oil plan is to produce one million barrels of oil per day over the next couple of years and this size of production will end the political dispute between Iraq and the region, said Genel chief executive Tony Hayward. Hayward said: "The scale of the opportunity for Kurdistan and for Iraq is so large that there will be a resolution. "We’d like to be exporting and believe strongly that over the next year or so, if not well before, that resolution will be arrived at." Kurdish oil field Taq Taq is producing 105,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd). Tawke is running at 70,000 bpd, but should be up to 100,000 bpd by the end of the year, said Hayward. Erbil and Ankara agreed to build an export pipeline, which could be operational next year, to transport one million barrels of oil per day to Turkey. The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) started trucking exports of crude oil to Turkey at the beginning of July despite a long-running dispute between Baghdad and Erbil. Earlier the KRG set the end of August as a deadline for making payment, said a KRG statement. The region restarted oil exports temporarily for a month during August after halting exports in April over a payment dispute. Then later the KRG decided to extend its oil exports to September 15 to give more time for discussion with Baghdad, said the region’s minister of natural resources. Ashti Hawrami said: "We are in ongoing discussion with the Iraqi government about paying the foreign companies’ money so the region can continue exporting oil and increase the volume of exports.” Baghdad has not paid Genel and a number of small companies yet for the majority of oil exported in 2009 and 2011, reported Reuters. The region wants to end the payment dispute with Baghdad. According to the KRG, Baghdad has to pay $1.5bn to companies making investments in the region. During the last few months, ExxonMobil, Chevron and Total signed contracts with the region to invest in the oil sector and neglected Baghdad's threats and warnings, reported the Financial Times. Exxon Mobil signed six oil contracts last year with Kurdistan. The contracts led to strong opposition from Baghdad, which says Kurdistan is not authorized to sign contracts for its oil. The Iraqi government later threatened to blacklist oil giants if they continue their contracts with the KRG. By Hemn Hadi DM/AKnews

  7. THE FENCE TEST, THINK ABOUT THIS, IT IS TRUE. You can't get any more accurate than this! This is straight forward country thinking...by Jeff Foxworthy Which side of the fence? If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test! If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone. If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life. If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect. If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him. If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down. If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his. If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh. A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".

  8. Dear Lord, I thank You for this day, I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an under-standing God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over.. And give me the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak... Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those that will delete this without sharing it with others. I pray for those that don't believe. But I thank You that I believe that God changes people and people change things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes; that they are out of debt and all their needs are met I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees it in Jesus' name. Amen!

  9. Media Strikes Back After Dirty Harry Dares To Mock Obama John Nolte | 30 August 2012 http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2012/08/30/Eastwood-Mocks-Obama [ Watch the video at this Link (11 min). ] For four long years we've waited, hoped and prayed that some young comic would break free of the politically correct demands of The State and mock Obama the way all presidents and all people in power should be mocked. But for four long years (with a few exceptions) all we've seen instead are cowardly toadies of The State: Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, David Letterman, Chris Rock, the cast of "Saturday Night Live"… Since Obama won the presidency, comedy has pretty much gone straight to hell as our Entertainment Overlords morphed into pathetic lapdogs to The State; begging for scraps of attention and affection from Obama, and in the process becoming stale, lazy, dull, predictable, painfully unfunny, and like a needy poodle -- more than a little annoying. Who would've ever thought that one of the men who would display enough backbone and "edge" to finally take it to Obama with wicked mockery on about 30 million live television screens would be 82 year-old Clint Eastwood? Once we learned Eastwood was the night's mystery guest, no one knew what to expect. And anyone who took a guess most certainly didn’t guess that the Oscar-winning American icon would use his opportunity to relentlessly and hilariously mock Barack Obama in front of the entire free world. It was glorious! And everyone I've talked to who was in the hall absolutely loved it. Eastwood hit Obama in every sweet spot we've been waiting for him to get hit on: The incompetence; the lies; the empty, pretentious rhetoric; the inexperience; and that roaring blowhard of a moron Obama chose to be a heartbeat away. Oh, and the empty chair. Other than an empty suit, there is no sharper metaphor. Eastwood also made one of the very best points of the night: WE own this country, and when someone doesn't do the job "we have to let them go." The media, naturally, is furious. They don’t like to see Their Precious One mocked and they also understand the power of mockery -- which is why they keep Stewart and Colbert on such a tight leash. This is why the media has already written 25 stories (5 from Politico) mocking Eastwood. Had Eastwood said the things the media likes to hear with the same nervousness and hesitation, they would've called him wizened and seasoned. But because he mocked Their Precious One, suddenly he's some kind of embarrassment. And now Politico, Ben Smith and CNN are all talking about how they intend to use Eastwood as way to overwhelm Mitt Romney's speech in the coming days. Like they wouldn't have found another reason. All I can say in response is: Go to hell you Obama-shilling crybabies. Eastwood showed more grit and honestly in those few minutes than you water carriers have during your entire propaganda-for-the-collective careers. What Eastwood did tonight was funnier, fresher, edgier, and braver than anything those comedy cowards Chris Rock, Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert have done in 15 years. 82 years-old, and Dirty Harry is still pissing all the right people off. My hero.

  10. . Dear President Obama, Thank you for helping my neighbors with their mortgage payments. You know the one's down the street, who, in the good times, refinanced their house several times and bought SUV's, ATV's, RVs, a pool, a big screen, two Wave Runners and a Harley. But I was wondering, since I am paying my mortgage and theirs, could you arrange for me to borrow the Harley now and then? Richard Ford Queen Creek AZ P.S. They also need help with their credit cards, when do you want me to start making those payments? P.P.S. I almost forgot - they didn't file their income tax return this year. Should I go ahead and file for them or will you be appointing them to cabinet posts?

  12. "WHITE " Pride" This is great. I have been wondering about why Whites are racists, and no other race is...... Proud to be White Michael Richards makes his point.............. Michael Richards better known as Kramer from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point. This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act. He makes some very interesting points... Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this? There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc. And then there are just Americans. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman'... and that's OK. But when I call you, ******, ****, Towel head, Sand-******, Camel Jockey, ******, ****, or ***** .. You call me a racist. You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you.... so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live? You have the United ***** College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi. You have the NAACP. You have BET... If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists. 0A If we had White History Month, we'd be racists. If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists. We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that?? A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant. If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships... You know we'd be racists. There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US. Yet if there were 'White colleges', that would be a racist college. In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists. You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists. You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist. I am proud... But you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists?? There is nothing improper about this e-mail. Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on. I sadly don't think many will.. That's why we have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS in this country. We won't stand up for ourselves! BE PROUD TO BE WHITE! It's not a crime YET... but getting very close! Here you go Carlos ,refute this !

  13. i beg to differ my friend....truly, i beg to differ. please consider this. i can't prove it and it is a stretch but please consider it. maliki's goose is cooked because the united states intelligence has attained all the files on his adverse behavior. Yota posted an article back in august....let me dig it up.....here it is , and this flew over possibly 99% of the communities head. it had to do with abdul-qader al-obeidi, maliki's military advisor (not to be confused with al-obeidi the selection for defense ministery). this guy was the FORMER defense minister and he disappeared......really? did he really just up-in-smoke vanish from the face of the earth? LOL FAT CHANCE. according to a separate article: A close source to the Iraqi government, who asked not to be named, told "Shafaq News", that "the former Iraqi Defense Minister, Abdul-Qader al-Obeidi has disappeared while traveling to the United States and no one knows his fate until now." and from Yota's article: escape and defense minister of Iraq's past, "Abdul Qader al-Obeidi" against the backdrop of corrupted files Mali. (~i believe the article misprinted Maliki~) so we see that maliki's government was in a tizzy about this man missing (escaping) with all communication to him being cutoff because he carries with him highly sensitive information. they begged the iraqi embassy in washington for assistance locating him but he really wasn't missing.....he defected to the united states. the united states now has all kinds of files on maliki. this happened mid august and what do we see happen beginning of september? a SURPRISE visit by the hawks of the united states to the front office of maliki with evidence of his dealings contrary to the SFA. there are no longer any secrets of al-maliki. the united states intelligence knows all and you bet your bottom line that mccain has made it abundantly clear that they know all even more so than the article Carrello and I posted the other day details. at this point their is enough to arrest this guy. i imagine that he has worked out some kind of a deal to smooth things out behind the scenes (we will never know in actuality). in a nutshell though, maliki is done. no more games.

  15. We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years. It's time to take a reflective look at the core beliefs of a culture that values home, family, country and God. If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'd choose a half dozen or so rednecks to back me up. Tire irons, squirrel guns and grit -- that's what rednecks are made of. I hope I am one of those. If you feel the same, pass this on to your redneck friends. Y'all know who ya are . You might be a redneck if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, 'One nation, under God..' You might be a redneck if: You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places. You might be a redneck if: You still say ' Christmas' instead of 'Winter Festival.' You might be a redneck if: You bow your head when someone prays. You might be a redneck if: You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem You might be a redneck if: You treat our armed forces veterans with great respect, and always have. You might be a redneck if: You've never burned an American flag, nor intend to. You might be a redneck if: You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening. You might be a redneck if: You respect your elders and raised your kids to do the same. You might be a redneck if: You'd give your last dollar to a friend.

  16. This is probably the best e-mail I've seen in a long, long time. The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA. This guy should run for President one day... 'We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights.' ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything. ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be. A RTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy. ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing mor than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes. ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care. ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people.. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair. ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure. ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!) ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an Am erican means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights. ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to whereever you came from. ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH! If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don't have to, and nothing tragic will befall you if you don't. I just think it's about time common sense is allowed to flourish. Sensible people of the United States speak out because if you do not, who will?

  17. You know, please explain to me your statement if you don't mind. How do you know what the White House is doing? The President hasn't comeout with a press conference or release and addressed what is being done. Does the the above State Department document not give you any clues at all? Private, private, private. Or are you part of the Private Team, a presidential confidant that knows what is or what is not going on? My sincere thanks go to Trinity, Butifidrm, and all the rest that truly contribute on this site. They take their time and intellegence to provide information for all of us to understand where we are with this "investment". They are an asset and should be listened to. Bumper stickers slogans and comments do nothing for the understanding of Iraq. My hat is off to you guys, and you all know who you are. It is so refreshing to wake up, get a cup of coffee and get it read what Trinity has come up with during the night. What a way to start a day!

  21. This is alarming! Beer contains female hormones! Yes, that's right, FEMALE hormones! Last month, Montreal University and scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain Phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women. To test the theory, 100 men each drank 8 schooners of beer within a one (1) hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects, yes, 100% of all these men: 1) Argued over nothing. 2) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong. 3) Gained weight. 4) Talked excessively without making sense. 5) Became overly emotional 6) Couldn't drive. 7) Failed to think rationally, and 8) Had to sit down while urinating. No further testing was considered necessary! Send this to the men you know to warn them about drinking too much beer! Cheers,

  22. You're completely ignorant about this subject and should feel bad for posting it. Mormons haven't believed that for years. All religions have their past (and present problems) but spouting hate and false posts doesn't help make this a better World. Do you really think Jesus would have liked what you just wrote? If so, you're not getting His message of love and need to go back to a better church than the one you're going to now.

Oh, snap, now I get it Carlos, You are all for the New World Oder, greedy Bankers and Democrats whoring, enslaving and using Illegal Mexican's for cheap labor. That's why you hate Republican's for being against illegal immigration. You would rather the Democratic President and Congress allow and encourage the influx of illegals, so they can take advantage of these poor, downtrotten, ignorant, unsuspecting people. Now it all makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up for us, Carlos. You are the biggest hater on this blog. You actually write in "oxymoranic" sentences to defeat yourself. It's actually funny to watch someone make a point and then counterpoint themselves. Keep it up bigot. You have such a way with words, I can hardly await your next syllable.

  24. It's interesting when people go off on a tangent about white people or whoever, but ignore other good examples of greed, war, and intolerance like Cortes nearly obliterating the Aztec Empire in Mexico in the 1500's, subjecting indigenous people as servants to work in mines...the Spanish fleet spiriting precious metals from the America's back to Spain...I guess mentioning it isn't politically correct. Doesn't really matter what race carlos, humanity is flawed. As for the rest of the original post touching on free services, entitlement...somebody has to pay for it, and it falls on the taxpayers. Is it right for someone who isn't a citizen to take resources from people in the country that might need them, especially in this economy (what is it..12 million Americans unemployed..?). I've no problem with anyone making their way in the world in whatever country as long as they chip in to the system and contribute, and as imperfect as it is, that's through taxes. The problem is you have people entering America with an idea of conquest and taking whatever they can get (see above example). Charitable giving and humanitarianism can be a good thing up to a limit, BUT it is augmented by legislature and politicians with a generous attitude that really don't know first hand what it is to feel the effects at ground zero barely living paycheck to paycheck (I'm there now). Our country never could afford to be the savior of the world.and imo, everyone should declare citizenship, work for what they need (if they are able), and pay the taxes to keep things afloat. Until we come up with another a better structure, it's the only way. Lately the U.S. of A.'s been looking like the Titanic.

  26. Dear Democrats, President Obama has said that the Republicans’ ideas are from the previous century; many are. Conservatives fought for the end of Slavery, they fought for Civil Rights, and they fought for equality for all. Very few Americans would want to see those re-instated. But on some issues, yes, we would like to return to many of the ideals, mores, and beliefs of the past. I would like to see school children reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America. As American citizens, there is nothing wrong with voicing this pledge and teaching our children to understand and believe the words. There is Pride and Unity in them. What is wrong with standing and placing your hand or hat over your heart, or saluting when The Star Spangled Banner is played? What is wrong with singing along? What would be wrong with teaching our children ALL of the verses? Women in the workplace are wonderful, and there have been women with jobs outside of the home for centuries; and they should get equal compensation for equal work. In most cases where the work is truly equal, they do; but many positions are relative, and even men don’t get equal pay for the same job. In most areas, there are many levels of pay dependent on factors such as time on the job, position, performance, attendance, and so on; so equal pay is difficult to judge. The only time that you will see true equality of pay for anyone is in an instance where the starting position pays minimum (either government or company decreed) wage. I have worked for most of my adult life, but the best years were those when I could stay home and spend time with my daughter. Back in the day, when women stayed home and men worked outside of the home, families were more of a partnership. He took care of the money, and she took care of everything else. Even then, when women had outside jobs, there was a partnership. She took care of the inside, and he took care of the outside. He did repairs; she did laundry. He took care of the lawn; she took care of the house. And don’t forget the kids. They had chores fit for their ages. They cleaned and dusted, took out trash, cleaned their rooms, did dishes, helped with the lawn, and put their dirty clothes in the hamper and clean clothes in their dresser and closet. The family was a unit and functioned as one. During the Great Depression, people didn’t want to go on welfare; most fought it tooth and nail, and they tried to get off the “dole” as soon as possible. Doctors were often paid on the barter system. People took what jobs were available and lived according to their means. It was great to have a wealthy person in your town as then there was work to be done and an income to receive. There were tough times, but the people worked through them with the knowledge that this great country would recover and win. Unmarried girls and women tried not to get pregnant, mostly through abstinence. If you did, the boy would most times make good, and a family would be created. The divorce rate was lower, and most children grew up in a family atmosphere. There were exceptions, but most families worked at the marriage through the hard times and didn’t just give up. There was reason to create and save a good marriage. People took pride in themselves and their families. Women didn’t run around dressed in pajamas, children wore clean and pressed clothes, and men combed their hair and trimmed their beards. Families dressed up for church and sat together while they worshipped. Families sat down at the dinner table together and didn’t watch TV (I’m guilty of that one, big time). Children did their homework, and the parents checked it. Parents joined the PTA and went to the meetings. They expected to be a part of their children’s education. Abusive parents have been around for years, but they are in the minority; now, parents are afraid of correcting or punishing bad behavior. Teachers would ‘fail’ a student if they didn’t learn and give them a second chance the nest year. Most students who graduated to the next grade were at least partially proficient in the last one. You took tests to get into college and were placed in classes that fit your knowledge level. People believed in the words “In God We Trust” on our currency, and so did the rest of the world. We are the only country that will honor any bill ever issued by the federal government for face value. We may have changed the way it looks, but it is still legal tender. We have never cancelled our currency and reissued a new one, making the old worthless. Americans took responsibility for themselves and for America. John Fitzgerald Kennedy said it best. “Ask not what your Country can do for you; ask what you can do for your Country” I must admit, he was a Democrat. But not of the same ilk we have today. Illegal immigrants were ousted and told to enter legally. America was created by those choosing to come to this country. Most worked hard to get here and harder to make it here. There was self- pride, independence, and a drive to make a better life. They weren’t looking for a handout; they were looking for a hand-up. A way out of tyranny, poverty, subjugation, and persecution; not a way toward dependence, but independence. Immigrants studied and were proud to become American citizens. They didn’t want to be citizens of the country they had escaped. They wanted the life of an American and didn’t want America to become what they had left. This country’s laws were founded on the Ten Commandments and the Magna Carta. We have freedom to worship as we choose without the government telling us which church to attend, and there are certain “inalienable rights” to “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Prior to “Free Love”, anti-establishment era of the 70’s, Americans had pride and honor. They worked hard to get ahead and reveled in America’s advances and their own. During this period, America began to change drastically. The commune became popular with promiscuity and drugs, with irresponsibility being the main focus. Anyone over 30 was not revered for their wisdom and experience but reviled for their beliefs. Many grew up and joined civilization. Many are the leaders of today, for better or worse. The ideals of youth did not mature with experience as the experience was a lack of ethics and morality. Parents not wanting to suppress their children’s free will therefore did not teach them to be constructive members of society. Parents who believed that their parents were wrong in their ethics taught none to their children. Punishment is not allowed, self responsibility is frowned upon, and working hard and succeeding is demonized. So, yes, Republicans have ideas and ideals from the last century. Thank God! And may God continue to Bless the United States of America. Sincerely, Noel Singer

  27. I don't start many topics, but I wanted to help shed some light on an issue that seems to be confusing people. I believe we all agree that any dramatic increase in the value of the dinar will require them to issue a new currency. I'd rather not debate at this point whether or not Iraq could conceivably support a revaluation to $.86. For the sake of argument let's assume that they can. If they go this route they will issue new lower denominations within the same currency series with the same currency code of IQD. If they re-denominate they will also need new lower denominations but from a new currency series with a different currency code. So the issue isn't whether or not a new currency means a new value. The issue is whether that value will be applied to the dinar that investors hold or to a new currency that investors will have to exchange to. If Iraq does what other countries like Russia, Romania, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Turkey, Zimbabwe, and Afghanistan have done they will apply the value to the new currency with a new currency code in a re-denomination. If they apply it to the IQD it will be a revaluation rather than a re-denomination and it would be the first revaluation ever carried out in this manner. Essentially the key here is the currency code. Does it stay or does it go when they issue the new currency? If it stays the gurus are right. If it goes the loppers are right. So actually the only thing we should be watching for is news about a change in the currency code.

  29. The quiet "wise" almost always seem to outnumber the loud "foolish." Thank you, Capn Geech, jonjon, dog53, Yota, pragerbabe, DinarMillionaire, and Snotrocket, for speaking (a.ka.a writing) your wisdom and sharing it with the rest of us. I am proud to be associated, even in a small way, with such wise American patriots. America has always had her share of such people, those who go on about their everyday lives, blending in with the rest of us, until a crisis arises, at which point they rise up, one by one, and leading other like-minded citizens, America's patriots save her again. There is no doubt that America is once again in grave danger. We witness that in the foolish comments by very foolish people, even here. I pray there are enough incredible patriots to step up to both lead and protect our country as we go through this election. They are badly needed, for in such fearful times as these, only those who love America deeply are stalwart enough to, once again, become her Saving Grace. Great comment!! I agree completely!!!

  32. http://news.investor...d-jerusalem.htm Democrats Embrace Sandra Fluke, Not God And Jerusalem Convention: Having yanked religious liberty and Israel from the platform, the boos greeting their reinstatement showed the true colors of a Democratic party and president hostile to both. In politics there are no do-overs. The pathetic sight of Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the convention chairman, repeatedly calling for a voice vote amid a chorus of boos on a motion to restore deleted references to God and Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, was certainly, as they say, bad optics. The party of "Yes, We Can" said "No, We Won't" to defending a faithful ally and adhering to the national motto, "In God We Trust." Three times Villaraigosa called for a voice vote on the changes and each time the yes and no votes seemed to balance each other out. On the third attempt, Villaraigosa ruled the amendments were approved — triggering boos from many in the audience on the night attention should have been focused on former President Bill Clinton's attempt to revive Barack Obama's declining re-election prospects. The omissions were, er, no fluke. They were not objected to by Obama who, at Georgetown University in April 2009, demanded that the monogram "IHS" — a symbol for the name of Jesus — be covered up before he spoke. Obama has also, through surrogates, said that America will not have Israel's back if it feels the existential need to strike against Iran's growing nuclear threat. The offending passage, the only reference to God in the 2008 platform, the first Obama ran on, said: "We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential." "God-given potential" is not consistent with the philosophy of an administration that insists "you didn't build that," through hard work or divine providence. The attempt to remove a line referring to people living up to their "God-given" potential was approved by a president who has studiously omitted "by our Creator" when he quotes the Declaration of Independence's reference to the rights we are endowed with. Subscribe to the IBD Editorials Podcast All rights and privileges, this administration tells us, come from a government the Democratic convention has said we all belong to now. On the same night God and Jerusalem were booed, Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown law student who couldn't afford nine bucks a month for contraceptives unless religious institutions were forced under Obama-Care to violate their First Amendment right to freely exercise their religion, was cheered. ============================================================== Well since I choose the man and not a party it appears I will be voting against Obama., and possibly any democrat from here on in. I will choose GOD 1st! To heck with those who will take it out of this nation and try to take it away from me. I hope every home owner displays on their front lawns in bold letters "IN GOD WE TRUST ALL OTHERS KISS MY BAHOOKA"! How dare they make me choose. I am curious America, I saw there was not a majority and who did this? I guess it's popular and the in thing. I will always be out and not popular, cause in the end God will be there. Presidents come and go. I just happen to like God fearing men/women to be in charge otherwise you get rulers like Maliki. California always where bad habits always begin. I know, I lived there. Look at them brook cities and the Iraq style corruption with the police making more than the president of the US. This man should be put on trial. That's just my harsh way of saying he's an idiot and should be put at firing squad for making a rule by himself and ignoring the folks.

Please...do not believe the 4 to 8 dollar rates and do not believe all the hype about the UN or IMF or anybody forcing Iraq to do anything...they are just about finished putting Maliki in a position to show all of this. Once people asked me how are they paying, If you read the articles this last week you will see that Exxon, Shell, have said if Iraq does not start paying then they were going to shut there operations down...this was such a great sign because it puts Maliki in a position that he cannot afford. I am feeling better than ever before this is coming to a close. We are on the last few days of this. Read more: http://www.dinar.guru.com/#ixzz25njKFyNZ

  37. I love you guys. You sure make my coffee taste good this morning! I was reading the State Department Briefings earlier this week and Trinity, yota so cooincides the briefing. I just wish they would give more info on how they are going to deal with Maliki. This one is from the 5th, QUESTION: Can I ask you, since there’s been various reports and some U.S. senators have spoken about it, could you kind of outline exactly what your suspicions are concerning Iranian weapons, deliveries to Syria, and Iraqi airspace? MR. VENTRELL: Well, Brad, we think it’s – that the Iranians have been very clear, and they’ll stop at nothing to continue to support the Syrian regime. And they’ve been very open about that. It’s doing little – the Iranians are doing little to hide their hand. And so we’ve expressed some concerns to our Iraqi partners, and Iraq has taken steps in the past to meet their international obligations. Just to go over those, all states have a responsibility under UN Security Council Resolution 1747 to seek to prevent the export of Iranian arms. Moreover, under Resolution 1929, passed in 2010, all states need to inspect all cargo that – to and from Iran in their territory if they have information that provides reasonable grounds to believe the cargo contains prohibited items. So we’ve been pretty clear in communicating that to the Iraqis, and it’s something that’s a matter of ongoing discussion between us and our Iraqi partners. QUESTION: So you feel that – you are convinced that Iran is sending weapons via Iraqi airspace? MR. VENTRELL: Beyond saying that this is an issue we’ve raised with our Iraqi partners, I’m not going to go beyond that. QUESTION: And then what have you provided – you said, even in the sanctions language, you have to have some sort of belief that this is occurring. Have you helped provide evidence to the Iraqis? They say they’re waiting for evidence from you. MR. VENTRELL: Well, I’m not going to get into our private diplomatic discussions in great detail with the Iraqis, but suffice it to say it’s something we’ve raised in the past, it’s something that they took steps to address in the past, and they have a responsibility to continue to do so. QUESTION: When did the relapse occur? MR. VENTRELL: I’m not going to get into characterizing it beyond that. QUESTION: What has been the response from Baghdad to your request for things such as searching cargo shipments and things like that? Have they said that they would comply? Will they -- MR. VENTRELL: I mean, again, I’m not going to get into our private diplomatic discussions with the Iraqis. Obviously, we have a robust partnership with them. It’s a country that we have a Strategic Framework Agreement with, and so we have intensive and ongoing discussions with Iraqis – with the Iraqis about a wide range of subjects, and this is certainly one that we’ve raised very directly with them and at senior levels. QUESTION: What kind of recourse do you have if it’s not met? Is there something you can do? Can you go to the UN and sort of say to them, “We believe this is happening; we want some kind of enforcement?” MR. VENTRELL: I mean, we expect Iraq as a member in good standing of the international community and as a strategic partner of the United States to meet its international obligations. QUESTION: When is the last time you brought this issue up with them? MR. VENTRELL: It’s something that we continue to raise with them. QUESTION: So since the meeting with senators, you’ve – today, has it been brought up? MR. VENTRELL: Well, I mean, the senators have raised it, but obviously, in terms of us as a government, the U.S. as the Administration, I can tell you that Assistant Secretary Beth Jones was in Iraq and just left because of the Media Note we put out about her talks. And so she had a wide range of discussions with her Iraqi interlocutors. And so this is something that we’ve raised and will continue to do so. QUESTION: But – sorry. MR. VENTRELL: Dana, go ahead. QUESTION: But a spokesman for the Iraqi Prime Minister is publicly saying that they would like evidence; if someone could bring them evidence, then they would take the necessary actions. MR. VENTRELL: I mean, again, I’m not going to get into our private discussions with the Iraqis. Suffice it to say that -- QUESTION: But they’re publicly saying that – they’re saying that no one’s brought them the evidence publicly. MR. VENTRELL: I’m telling you it’s something we’ve raised with the Iraqis in great detail, but I’m not going to go further than that. QUESTION: What do you want Iraq to do? You want them to send up their air force? MR. VENTRELL: Actually, the easiest way, we think, is for them to require these aircraft to land and be inspected in Iraqi territory. QUESTION: And how would they require that? What force do they have? Do they have any aerial assets that would be able to enforce that requirement? MR. VENTRELL: Well, my understanding is that there are international agreements in terms of how aircraft transiting airspace are required to comply with local requirements. So -- QUESTION: Are you offering help to the Iraqis to enforce control over their airspace? MR. VENTRELL: Well, as you know, the strategic partnership agreement, which set forth our – the Strategic Framework Agreement, which set forth our partnership, had a number of elements to it. But Iraq has full control of its sovereignty and its airspace since we handed that back to the Iraqis. http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/dpb/2012/09/197369.htm#SYRIA

  39. The problem with your statement is that we did not need to pay for the freedom of Iraq with our blood and money. The Iraqi people never asked us to intervene in their internal affairs...or did they? The was remember it happened was that George Bush # 43 created a scenario where he blamed Saddam Hussain for being complicit in the attacks on the Twin Tower in new York when it was in FACT his own administration that did it! Our people were incensed at the unprovoked attack and invaded Iraq. Unfortunately for us, the Bush administration had lied to the American people so that we could invade Iraq on behalf of US and British oil companies who wanted to control Iraq's oil. This type of behavior is called "imperialist warmongering" and the US, Britain and Israel have a long history of doing just this. The fact that the American people were asked to foot the bill, in blood and money, for a criminal war does not give us the right to intervene in any countries affairs! The fact that the American people tend to agree with administrations who think we have the right to dictate anything to another country is fundamentally wrong. The proof, if you need it, would be to turn the issue around and to know what it would be like to be on the receiving end of that type of arrogant and belligerent behavior from another country...How would you feel if it happened to us? Would you be happy? I wouldn't! Carlos Thanks Pattyangel! I find myself many times alone defending what I believe to be true against many who would tear me down and insult me unnecessarily because they cannot get past their own egos and brainwashing and even acknowledge that there is a possibility that I might be right! Sometimes the battle is overwhelming, an do loose my patience with many. I'm sorry if you ever got caught in the crossfire honey! If your interested in the truth watch the movie "ethos" available on Netflix. It will put what is a very complicated set of issues into an understandable perspective. Thanks...Carlos

  40. “Educated Idiocy” I. Education today is the creation of intellectual idiots. A. Those who dominate the education and instruction of our day control the moral standards we act out on the theater of American life. B. They control who is accepted, and who is rejected, and not by the caliber of your character on your abilities, but rather by your willingness to conform to the political establishment’s ideals. C. This is an elitist/ political approach to education and is nothing short of “the death of reason and rationality.” D. What do they tell our Children? Defiance is unacceptable and Americans have no recourse against centralized government; not in any way to include the people they elect. E. Our learning centers today are places to connect to the world. They are not concerned with local communities any longer. Why are young people leaving the farms? Why are our trade skills diminishing? Is it just economy? NO! Independent, skilled people always flourish if they cast off tyranny. We did that once. F. Today, education is about compliance, indifference, sociology, dependence and a culture of fear. G. What intellectual idiocy lacks in substance, it makes up in ego; proving the point that being educated does not make you intelligent. II. Examination of the intellectuals our Education System Produces A. Obsession with the appearance of objectivity The intellectual idiots only appear to be objective or non-bias but will 9 times out of 10 take the side that benefits the establishments. This is one of the reasons, why our elected do not truly serve in our best interest in most cases, and instead serve the purposes of political party agendas. B. Clings to labels and Status Look at our society. For the most part, it is about money, position and political hierarchy. Who’s who and what is your celebrity status. People who have PHD’s, who have high level positions or have lots of money are held in high esteem. Intellectuals put a label on everyone from lowest to highest based on their own educated social and political status. C. They are collectivist They live for acceptance and accolades and fall into collectivism which is a socialist position that leans toward the state as the source of life. All social and individual problems become a matter of government intervention. Self-reliance is wiped out in favor of the nanny state. D. They are disconnected from reality. Intellectuals will identify problems with the system or those who lord over the system, but will not approach the system to change it. They thrive incoherently in the disastrous natures of government. Every thought of life and government is a game or a theoretical exercise. They don’t believe in principle or law. They exist in a bubble of blissful educated ignorance.Burst this bubble and they melt away at the site of reality. E. They abhor those who are not mainstream. They see the use of violence by the system against the average individual as acceptable behavior, because it protects their political and social standing. Stand against them to the point they feel threatened, then you’re a terrorist and deserve to die or be locked away where you can’t disturb their Utopia of false existence. F. Finally, they believe academics to be free from bias. For the most part, the intellectual idiots assume that all the information he has received at the university is true, without researching it himself. This unfortunate habit is the root of idiocy. This is at the root of social enerineering and is the opposite of real communities living out their respective cultures, common to their own particular needs and desires. America’s educational institution at all levels with the help of the entertainment industry has turned American students into mashpotatoe minds who will accept any felonious philosophy without reflection, regard, or question. Our education system is a real battle ground where the social engineers have captured the minds and hearts of our generations and turned them against liberty, family, and ultimately, God Himself.

  41. Yota thanks once again for finding the golden nugget in the post. because there is no transgression for allowing humanitarian efforts to pass through iraq. they will check the planes for any military type cargo. dont underestimate the power of the strategic framework agreement. they will do it because of contractual obligations with the united states and the international community. if iraq violates the contract of which they are a signatory to, the economic repercussions will be devastating for that country.

  45. folks we could spend a lifetime speculating on what the powers that be are planning and how we figure into that plan. instead, i've decided to put my faith in what God says and what it is that He is planning. the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world, and those who dwell in it (psals 24:1). because of this, i can rest at night because it is His will and good pleasure to take from from the evil and deliver it into the hands of the righteous. if the ptb truly had their way, things would have changed as many suppose a long long time ago. however their is one factor they never can count on or figure into their equation....GOD. he confounds the wise (1 Corin 1:27) and takes them in their own conceit. the world will end when God say so, the economies of the world will all crash when God allows it, the one world government will be established at God's willing; and not a moment before. so trust in the Lord and remain upright before Him. i humbly suggest spending time on figuring out the plans and strategies of the elite and how you will fit into it as a waste of time. don't get me wrong, i am well studied on what they are doing and plan to do, but it is not the ultimate determination for me. God is. be blessed my friends.

This information is also useful to anyone who would like to develop an understanding of factors which determine currency value. For the currency trader, this understanding is needed in order to develop a currency trend analysis for a particular country. Developing accurate currency trends is the key to successful Forex trading. What determines the value of a countries currency really comes down to supply and demand of that currency. If a particular countries currency is in high demand by purchasers such as travelers, governments, and investors, this will increase the value of the countries currency. The factors that follow may have a positive or negative affect on the demand for a particular currency. Lets take a look at these factors. 1) Printing of Currency: If a country prints an excessive amount of currency, more then what it normally would, this can decrease the value of the currency. Any time you have more of anything, this can result in a decrease in it's value. This is true whether you are talking about currency or commodities such as iron ore, crude oil, coal, gold, silver and platinum. A large amount of currency in circulation can lower the value of a currency. A small amount of currency in circulation can result in the value of the currency increasing. 2) Current State of the Economy: If a countries economy is not doing well, this can decrease the demand for that countries currency. Specifically, here we are talking about the degree of unemployment, degree of consumer spending, and extent of business expansion that is taking place in a country. High unemployment, decrease consumer spending, with a decrease in business expansion, means a poor economy and a decrease in currency value. The potential for economic growth in a country should also be looked at. If the potential is strong, then it's currency value would expect to increase. Also, if a country produces products that other countries want to buy, this can increase the value of that countries currency. 3) Prices of Foreign Goods: Related to the economy, is the prices of foreign goods. If a foreign company sells goods in a country which are cheaper then comparable products produced in that country, this can hurt the economy of that country. A poor economy results in a decrease in demand for that countries currency, which lowers it‘s value. 4) Political Conditions of a Country: To what degree does political corruption exist within a country? To what degree do political affairs have on the economy of that country? A country which is known to have corrupt politicians, can result in a lowering of the value of it's currency. 5) How Secretive is a Country: A country which operates at a high level of secrecy, at least as observed by those outside the country, can result in a lowering of the value of their currency. Another words, if not much is known about a country due to a restriction of media expression within that country, this can lower the value of it's currency. 6) National Debt of a Country: To what degree are politicians addressing a national debt problem? Are politicians causing an increase in the national debt? In a democratic society, national debt must be paid by the taxpayer. If taxes increase, this results in a lowering of the purchasing capability of society, which results in a deleterious affect on the economy. In this case, currency value will decrease. 7) Presidents Popularity: If a president is popular, this can increase the demand for a currency. If the presidents popularity is dropping, due to unpopular government policies, this may result in a decrease in demand for a currency and a subsequent lowering of it's value. 8) War and Terrorists Attacks: A terrorists attack can increase the probability of a war. A war or the strong potential for a war can decrease the demand for a currency, simply because a war drains the economy. Wars are expensive and must be paid by the taxpayer. You simply can not have a growing economy during war time. So war lowers the value of a currency. 9) Government Growth: Is government growing and expanding to much? New growth by developing departments, and creating unnecessary programs, all costs money. Again, the taxpayer will need to pay for the new growth, which for the long run has a negative affect on the economy. Excess government growth can lower the value of a countries currency. 10) Tax Cuts for the Consumer: Tax cuts can stimulate the economy, as long as the consumer spends the extra money he or she may have. But also, tax cuts which are to large can result in high demand for products, which may raise prices, which can lead to inflation and the desire to purchase cheaper foreign products. But in general, tax cuts historically have been good for the economy, which can result in an increase demand for that countries currency. 11) Interest Rates: A higher interest rate means a higher demand for a currency. Foreign investors in a currency prefer a higher interest. It is the same principle when you shop around for the highest interest rate when putting money into a savings account. This increase in demand for a currency results in an increase in it's value. 12) Housing Market: If there is a slowing of a housing market, this means the sellers asking price will be less, and with the realization that a persons home is worth less, this results in less consumer spending. This has a negative affect on the economy. Again, poor economic conditions result in a lower demand for the currency, thereby lowering it's value. 13) Positive or Negative Perception: How purchasers of a currency perceive the previous discussed parameters, can determine the degree of demand for a currency. Whether or not the perception is accurate or not is not as important as what the perception itself is. Perception is what determines if a currency purchaser decides to buy or sell a currency. To conclude, the factors presented here are determinants of the degree of demand on a currency, and therefore it's value. There are other factors such as manufacturing growth, degree of entrepreneurship in a country, employment growth, and even the weather and it's affect on the agricultural industry, energy consumption, and local economies. These also can determine the demand for a currency. The factors listed here determine the perception that a potential buyer of currency may have. And here, perception means everything. How a potential buyer of a currency looks at a particular country using these parameters, will determine the demand on the currency, and ultimately it's value. With this understanding, it is not difficult to see why the value of the US dollar has dropped so much lately. This is mainly due to a sky rocketing federal deficit, the lack of the current administration's desire to reduce the federal deficit, enormous government growth, the fed's high level of money printing, a slow housing market, a decrease in the President Obama's popularity, and a current poor economy which includes relatively high unemployment, all of which were previously discussed. Investors outside the United States are looking at the US dollar as to risky, which results in a decrease in demand for the US dollar, and a drop in it's value.
