Coming To A Neighborhood Near You.

Apparently the oil producing nations plan to use your gasoline money to buy the homes you lost to foreclosure.

Your old house will be home to their thug friends.

Ironically, the oil producers got filthy, stinking rich because all of the speculators who were invested in liar-loan-mortgage-backed securities moved all of their money over to oil futures, driving up the price of crude to about 100% more of what it should be.

Most of our (USA's) economic problems right now can be traced to people on our own soil who made horrible decisions based on the toxic combination of greed and stupidity.

I blame state/local government. They collected more taxes than they needed and put the excess tax money in credit bundles and subprime loans.

Their excuse is WELL, WE WANTED TO USE THE PROFIT TO LOWER TAXES! Instead they lost their asses and much of our money.

Then they took the money they had left and invested in oil and commodities. Government is the 'speculators' who ran the price of gas up. Now they need the money because tax revenues are shit, and theyre pulling their/our money out of oil, etc.

Dollars return to the US to be invested in real estate. I got that.

How do they pick and choose "thugs" to whom they will sell or rent houses?

Did you intend for this post to make any sense?

The oil producers will furnish their own thugs, probably fly them in to your town.

It makes plenty of sense if you think about it, then it scares the crap out of you when you confront the consequences.

Our churches are already doing it. Buying foreclosed homes and sponsoring refugees from exotic places. The refugees move in, roast goats and boil laundry on the front yard, and generally make pests of themselves in the neighborhood. They definitely increase the value of YOUR property.

I can only speak from my own experience with this sort of thing, of which I have quite a bit.

I am a crew supervisor for Habitat for Humanity. I work with the churches who bring refugees from exotic places. Last spring I worked on a 5 bedroom house for a family with 5 daughters and 1 son. The man and his wife are both very hard working people, as are all of their children. The only thing they have been given is the labor, such as mine, which was performed at no pay. They now have a mortgage, just like most of us and a stake in their community, so property values are just as important to them, as it is to you and me.

All of the houses I have worked on had full appliances, so boiling laundry in the yard is not necessary. Don't knock roast goat until you've tried it.

I am still wondering what is your real point? Is this just a general xenophobic rant?

The consequences of houses sitting empty and becoming the nesting places of vagrants and crackheads hurts real estate values more than any tenant or owner.

If you are looking for someone to blame, look to the people who took the financial model of a used car lot and applied it to home mortgages. They then sold the mortgages as a package, taking their profit up front and insulating themselves from the accountability of issuing risky loans.

I am not sure how our energy trade imbalance worksthis deal. Perhaps if the programs Jimmy Carter proposed in the 70's had been taken seriously, we wouldn't be in this situation. If foreign oil producers have too much of our money, we have only ourselves to blame.

I assure you people boil laundry and cook over open fires in their front yards. The dogooders buy the homes, sponsor the refugees, get them welfare benefits, and turn them loose. The refugees do what comes natural to them, and piss everyone off.

I have a problem with the lack of respect and consideration the dogooders have for the neighborhood. I have a problem with dogooders importing problems for Americans to fix. And I dont care that you feel warm and fuzzy and self-righteous about providing them homes.

You have seen this in your neighborhood? If so, its your duty as an American to give them directions to a laundrymatt.

I don't think you have ever met a do gooder or a refugee.

It sounds more like a rightwing wet dream or a Beverly Hillbillies rerun.

I've met plenty of both. I've reminded several hundred immigrants that theyre not in Kansas anymore, and cant pull the crazy stunts they did back home.

Stunts like grazing your goat on your neighbors yard, collecting firewood from your neighbors yard, or plowing the neighbors yard, etc.
 
Yeah. We have immigrants in our neighborhood, and I can tell you that we're now overrun with goats and the laundry-boiling never ceases.

That's not as bad as the giant bonfires they build, though, and the dancing and spear-shaking and cries of "Ooga-Booga" that pierce the night. Just the other day I had to go over there and rescue my daughter from the giant cauldron they'd put her in.

I don't know where these people are from -- Mexico or Japan or Norway or something -- but they'd better cut it out.

Most are from Bosnia, Albania, and the old Soviet satellites. They invented primitive. Theyre peasants.

The spear-chuckers from Somalia and Sudan are actually pretty civilized and house-broken when they arrive.

Mexicans? Nasty little bastards.
 
The guy shot the head of the democratic party in Arkansas because he lost his job at Target.

I guess that makes sense. If the ghost of Attila the Hun explains it to you.
 
Jobs are hard to get in Arkansas. I suspect the lad figured a job making car tags was better than no job. At least he gets to eat and the rent is free.
 
The article said that they found anti-depressants in his apartment, as if that meant that of course he was crazy enough to shoot somebody. Half of the people I know take anti-depressants, and most depressed people don't hurt anybody. The few that do are WAY more likely to hurt themselves than someone else. Try explaining that to the media, though.

He isnt the first person to get the wrong diagnosis and meds. The deed is classic paranoid schizophrenia. My guess is the voices told him the Democrats own Target stores.

I shouldn't diagnose anybody I've never seen*, but yeah, I agree with you -- paranoid schizophrenia seems fairly likely.

Heavens, yes. Brown people everywhere.

He's dead, killed in the final gun battle with police. So how is going to make my license plates?

Dumbass!
