Steve's barking at the most important freedom

The talk around the United States is talking about freedom, When people talk nobody talks about the most important freedom. With out this freedom all other freedom are frivolous.  Tada, the most important freedom is the freedom from want. We all need to eat, have shelter and clothes on our back. When people have that they can concentrate on the other freedoms. Unfortunately we don't talk about freedom from want, the most prevalent cause of unrest.

Steve's barking at what's happening in Egypt

What's going on in Egypt must be important, broadcast media are sending over their anchors.
They must be sending over their anchors so they don't have to pay their reporters excess for too much air time ( Like I really know)?
I was surfing the boob tube again and I heard by an expert how if Egypt were to go down Suez Canal it's quite possible that the Suez Canal will be shut down. It would then mean that oil tankers would not be able to go west. There is even a possibility that that an oil pipe line that runs through it would be shut down.
The statements from these pundits (?) is that the price of oil would go up.
NOOOO the price of oil has nothing to do if the oil goes East or West, the closing of the Straights of Hormuz would have devastating effect on the price of oil. Now the closing of the Egyption pipe line and the closing of the Suez Canal might hurt the bottom line on some oil companies but the output of oil isn't effected one way or the other by Egypt.

Steve's barking at congress and reading comprehension

Congress opened it's session by reading the Constitution, proving that it can read, it doesn't prove that the members understand what they were reading. I'm under the firm belief that the majority of our congress people would fail a simple test in reading comprehension.
How can this country complain about low test scores when our law makers don't understand  the real meaning of what they are reading.
I'm a strong believer that we should have a constitutional amendment that in order to run for office one must past a reading comprehension and an American history test similar to that given to immigrants applying for citizenship, there by knocking out 90 percent of the senate and the house.

Steve's barking at an N word

I'm getting a little tired about hearing a word that begins with the letter n can't be said or even read.
A pun dent on Fox News doesn't want you to use the r word.
Well I'm going to write a true story using words that might be offensive.
A bank robber went into a bank with a stocking over his head.
He went over to the bank teller and told her to hand over all her money because he had a gun.
The bank teller said she couldn't hear him, so this (N word) nitwit did the (R word) ridiculous thing by taking off the stocking from his head so he could be heard. A half hour after he robbed the bank he was caught when the police spotted him from a picture taken from a surveillance camera in the bank.

Now I realise these aren't the correct words but its a way to make fun of the foolish.
A young adult will use the word to get a rise out of those who find offense of those words.
A child will try to find out what those words are just to get a giggle out of those words.

Steve's barking Does Neil Cavuto know what free market means?

I was surfing the boob tube last week when I came across a fellow named Neil Cavuto.
Now Mister Cavuto whom I understand beside being an anchor on Fox business news is also managing editor for Fox business.
Anyway to get on with the story, Mr. Cavuto read the story that Bank of America was raising it fees and creating news, as he was reading he claimed that Bank of America was raising its fees because of new government regulation, hinting all the while that this is what all bank were going to do.
Let me inform Mr Cavuto competition dictates what a business does or doesn't do in a free market not government regulations.
Let me also inform Mr. Cavuto that in all likely hood Bank of America would raise it's fee if there was no regulation if they felt that they could get away with it. The purpose of business is to Maximze profits and if they felt that charging fees that other banks aren't and have a greater profit despite losing some clients then that's exactly what they should be doing.
Government's job is to protect the citizens and that's what it regulations do.
This is high school economics. It's about time business news persons learn it  .

Steve's barking at the phony pension and social security time bombs

Oh no Mr. Bill we short sighted Americans are doing it again.
We can't afford pensions, we can't afford to to give our children full social security.
The fact of the matter we have to have a better pension system, we can't have every 65 year old working.
The competition between young and old will have excess people in the labor force. Excellent if you like civil unrest.
Oh I forgot to mention because of advancement in technology and competition from abroad the amount of jobs in the United States will decrease. ( Yes I know that it's been predicted since we the beginning of the industrial revolution, but eventually it will come to fruition).
I keep hearing of pension and social security time bombs. If you can have  a system that those who work pay for the pension of those who don't or if in the case of public pensions and social security you can slightly raise taxes to cover the short falls.
My ranting and raving in this blog is to point the foolishness of the chicken Little's of this country who are afraid of a bomb that can be very easily handled like fire and the inability to realize that we have an unemployment bomb that can easily be thermonuclear, and it's here today.

Steve's barking at the communist conspiracy

Now I know that there are no more communist anymore, after the the fall of the Soviet Union. China has adopted capitalism, Cuba is heading that way, Venezuela is just a contrary country, and North Korea is really a kingdom (pop,son,son leadership).
After I've just written should be the end of communist, but that's not true, thanks to the Koch ( pronounced coke as in cocaine) brothers. They claim that they're free libertarians, but the truth of the matter their really communist. Kind of like the Manchurian Candidate their father went to the Soviet Union as a businessman, but the truth he was brain washed and became a sleeper agent so evil that he joined the John Birch Society to hide his real intentions. He past on his evil intentions to two of his sons who claimed to be free libertarians or as I call them anarchist. Thus weakening this country so much that the communist come in and make this the first truly communist country ruled by the wicked witch of the west Helen Thomas.
This must be true or I couldn't post it on a blog.

Thank you Glen Beck
