The Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Top 10 Includes Barack Obama and Utah Senator Bob Bennett

When Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae folded under government control a few days ago, it was rumored that the CEOs of both institutions were to be receiving a total of $24 million in severance packages. Currently, those payouts have been put on hold, but what about Fannie and Freddie bribes that have been paid to 354 different Senators and Congressmen over the last 19 years? Shouldn't they have to pay those back? Barack Obama, in his short tenure in the Senate, is number 2 on the list of 'bribees'. Utah Senator Robert Bennett, however, is not far behind.

OpenSecrets is reporting that Senator Chris Dodd has taken more in campaign contributions since 1989 from Fannie and Freddie ($165,400) than any other federal government representative. Whether that encompasses 3 or 4 senatorial election cycles, it still means upwards of $40,000 per election has been donated to Dodd by the twin sister shyster financial institutions. Having been elected to the Senate only once, Barack Obama, surprisingly, is 2nd on the list of takers at $126,349. It sounds like the financial whores want Obama to keep quiet about their field day. Interestingly, John McCain has reportedly received only $21,550. And Ron Paul is on the hook for a whopping $3,500 (that is probably an oversight that Paul is attempting to correct).

developer who wanted to develop a large tract of land in our city. After the dinner, I found myself feeling beholden to the developer simply as a result of a $15 meal. I didn't like that feeling, and I never did it again. Imagine how beholden Obama, Bennett, and Dodd must feel having been wined and dined with tens of thousands of dollars.

The impending doom of Fannie and Freddie had been known or projected for several years. Yet many thereby-tainted leaders of the United States continued to accept donations from the whorehouse. I think that disqualifies them from the trust that voters must place in them to elect them to federal public office.

Don't you?

Red Clothing and Resurrection: Jesus Christ's Second Coming

The scriptures teach that when Christ comes again to the earth, that he will be wearing red apparel. Why red ? They also teach that at Christ's coming, many of the dead will become resurrected. Will this only include members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Not by a long shot, no matter what some Mormon might tell you.

To Have the Compassion of an Ogre

At least when it comes to using government as a weapon of compassion, I have the compassion of the ogre. I will explain below why I think government cannot and should not be in the business of compassion. The force of government has caused many people to show less compassion to their fellow men. On the other hand, some of the best things happen when government is not compassionate. In such circumstances, individuals personally begin to display more compassion. One such instance of this happened recently in Utah when the governor asked the legislature to convene a special session in order to (among other things) provide special monies to pay for dental care for the disabled . If they didn't fund the governor's compassion project, it would make the legislators look even more heartless in a year where the budget surplus was projected to be at least $150 million. In spite of these political odds, the legislature did not grant the $2 million that 40,000 members of the disabled...
