“Black Friday” — The Reality Not The Myth

Myth:

Black Friday derives its name from the fact that, because of the boost in sales experienced on the day, retailers are able for the first time in the year to move out of the red – that is, debt — and into the black, or profit.

Reality:

The name (Black Friday) took hold in Philadelphia, in the 1970’s. The streets and sidewalks of the City of Brotherly Love became so packed with traffic and crowds on the day after Thanksgiving that the local police looked forward to that day with dread and gloom. The Philadelphia police coined the phrase, calling it Black Friday, in the same way ruined investors called the day of the 1929 stock market crash Black Tuesday.

Myth:

Black Friday is the most lucrative shopping day of the year.

Reality:

Black Friday is “not” the most lucrative shopping day of the year. . . It is usually not the second or third or even fourth most lucrative day – – – According to the International Council of Shopping Centers, the busiest shopping day of the year, year after year, is the last Saturday before Christmas, sometimes called “Procrastination Saturday.” The last two weekends before Christmas usually comprised the four busiest shopping days of the year.

Myth:

Black Friday shoppers are merrily going from store to store, buying and checking their purchases off their Christmas lists.

Reality:

Most people are not playing Santa on Black Friday. According to the ICSC, nearly 75 percent of the articles purchased on Black Friday are not for Christmas gift-giving but for personal or family use.

I’ve Said It For Years . . . “Liberals (Leftists) Are Mentally Ill And Wired Wrong.” . . . It Seems there Is Proof!

Before voting for any Democrat keep the following in mind about those that control this party lock stock and barrel.

“Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.”

“Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded.”

the kind of liberalism being displayed by both Barack Obama and his Democratic primary opponent Hillary Clinton can only be understood as a psychological disorder.

“A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity – as liberals do,” he says. “A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population – as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation’s citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state – as liberals do.”

Dr. Rossiter says the liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by:

creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization;
satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation;
augmenting primitive feelings of envy;
rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.

A further break through concerning the diseased liberal mind:

“research suggests that some people have an inherent bias against conservative thinking, that is independent of their education or upbringing.

The effect is caused by a neurotransmitter in the brain called DRD4 which could be stimulated by the “novelty value” of left of centre opinions, say US researchers.”

In other words, being contrary for the sake of being contrary; being different simply for the sake of being different. Marx and Engle’s entire being was based on simply being deadly different . . . you’ve reaped what you have sowed America . . . Rightminded people, start Tuesday and push these mental deficient back into their padded rooms and never give them power. RUN TO THE POLLS; DON’T WALK!

What Other “Worst-Case Scenarios” Are Being Blocked And Spun By The Obama White House

WASHINGTON — The White House blocked efforts by federal scientists to tell the public just how bad the Gulf oil spill could have been, according to a panel appointed by President Barack Obama to investigate the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.

(FULL STORY HERE)

What other worst-case scenarios are being blocked or spun by the Obama White House: . . .

(1) The true unemployment rate is more like 20% instead of 9.5%. (FULL STORY HERE).

(2) President Obama criticized President Bush for running excessively large deficits. Obama would run budget deficits averaging 3.9 percent of GDP, nearly twice as large as Bush’s deficits.

And these deficits would not be due to a lack of taxes. President Obama’s budget projects average tax collections of 18.7 percent of GDP versus 17.9 percent during the Bush years, a difference that adds up to $1.3 trillion in extra revenues over 10 years

(FULL STORY HERE).

(3) The list of Obama-care waivers are growing exponentially:

McDonald’s and 29 other firms get health care coverage waivers. Without the waivers the people working for these firms would “loss the insurance they’ve got.” Is your firm going to get an exemption, or are you going to “loss the insurance you got?”

“The big political issue here is the president promised no one would lose the coverage they’ve got,” says Robert Laszewski, chief executive officer of consulting company Health Policy and Strategy Associates. “Here we are a month before the election, and these companies represent 1 million people who would lose the coverage they’ve got.”

I could go on and on here, but I’ll end with this . . . “everything a Marxist gets his or her hands on is destroyed . . . all in the name of social justice and unGodly egalitarianism.” The only thing that makes us equal is our judgement by Almighty God at the appointed hour.

“The Crazies Are In Charge,” So Says GOP Representative, Devin Nunes Of California.

The honorable House of Representative also stated that “these crazies are Sixty’s, Leftists from San Francisco.”

Finally, the GOP is starting to say exactly the way it is, and with their complete repudiation of Obama-care, that was written by San Franciscan radical Leftists decades ago, they can proudly now claim and make the legitimate case that there is truly a difference between them and the Democrats.

The Democrat’s support of the crazy Sixties, dictatorial Leftist’s health-care plan, clearly establishes them as “Marxists” hellbent to put yet another nail in the coffin of the American Republic . . . the most recent nail hammered (using Pelosi’s big gavel) into America’s coffin has bankruptcy written on it — compliments of the San-Franciscan-Sixties crazies.

Turn Barack Obama Over To A Collection Agency

Obama’s presidential campaign owes the city of Springfield Illinois $55,457, and according to Ernie Slottag, the city’s spokesman, the bill is well over a year old, and attempts to collect what Obama’s posse owes is falling on deaf ears.

“Let’s turn them over to a collection agency,” quipped Ward 3 Ald.Frank Kunz.

“I’m serious,” he said. “If you guys are serious about going after him, turn them over to a collection agency.”

While no aldermen jumped on Kunz’s suggestion, it did lead to a broader discussion: Should the city charge individuals and groups for police coverage for special events?

The DNC has more than enough money to pay this bill, and it should be paid immediately. Perhaps the progressives that are controling the DNC think that the effort to elect their savior should be considered a part of the “collective good,” but I can assure them that the people and institutions that are owed and need the revenues, and are of the real world, are simply thinking . . . “dead beats and crooks the lot of them.”

Obama & His Fellow Fools Are At It Again — Shoving Substandard Loans Down Bankers Throats

The record clearly shows that the catalyst for the greatest depression since the Great Depression was caused by the Democrats . . . and they’re at it again.

The latest depression never happens if: (1) Barrack Obama and Company does not pressure banks to approve loans to people that don’t qualify. (2) The guarantor of sub-prime loans (federal government agencies invented and controlled by Democrats) didn’t exist. Wall Street would never have bundled the sub-prime loans and sold them as securities if the Federal Government didn’t guarantee them.

Obama wants lenders to make risky loans once more:

President Barack Obama assembled executives from the nation’s twelve largest banks for a face-to-face at the White House Monday morning. The primary objective – to encourage these lenders to loosen their grip on credit for consumers and small businesses.

Bankers snared by the mortgage melt down don’t want the experience repeated with regard to consumer and small business loans.

Bankers say they are facing greater pressure from regulators to increase capital cushions, which means less money for loans, and they also argue that there are fewer creditworthy borrowers these days.

Obama and company! Stay out of the banking business, you people can’t even manage a White House guest list, let alone a vital component of our economy.

Obama summons bankers to the White House to solicit them to be stupid once again. (GO HERE FOR FULL STORY)

Obama / Holder Continue Their Assault On The CIA And America’s Ability To Counter Islamic Terror — The Leftist Way

He most certainly is capable of espousing doctrines from all four of the sick ideologies above, since they are all part and parcel doctrines of the left and Obama is a devout leftist.

Nothing results in more disclosures of government intelligence than civilian trials. They are a banquet of information, not just at the discovery stage but in the trial process itself, where witnesses — intelligence sources — must expose themselves and their secrets.

We are now going to have a trial that never had to happen for defendants who have no defense. And when defendants have no defense for their own actions, there is only one thing for their lawyers to do: put the government on trial in hopes of getting the jury (and the media) spun up over government errors, abuses and incompetence. That is what is going to happen in the trial of KSM et al. It will be a soapbox for al-Qaeda’s case against America. Since that will be their “defense,” the defendants will demand every bit of information they can get about interrogations, renditions, secret prisons, undercover operations targeting Muslims and mosques, etc., and — depending on what judge catches the case — they are likely to be given a lot of it. The administration will be able to claim that the judge, not the administration, is responsible for the exposure of our defense secrets. And the circus will be played out for all to see — in the middle of the war. It will provide endless fodder for the transnational Left to press its case that actions taken in America’s defense are violations of international law that must be addressed by foreign courts. And the intelligence bounty will make our enemies more efficient at killing us.

I Wonder If Peggy Joseph (The Heart And Soul Of The Obama Cult) Has Returned To The Planet Earth Yet.

“I never thought this day would happen. I won’t have to work on puttin’ gas in my car. I won’t have to work at payin’ my mortgage. You know. If I help him [Obama], he’s gonna help me.”

Well, you helped him “soul sister;” are your troubles kaput?

Most likely not, and the fact of the matter is . . . your problems and your neighbors, probably have gotten worse given an over 10% unemployment rate that is not going to get much better soon according to the Fed Chairman speaking at the New York Economic Club today — “The best thing we can say about the labor market right now is that it may be getting worse more slowly.”

Obama Urges Congress To Put Off Fort Hood Probe

Go Here For The Full Story

Well of course he does.

What better way to enable his Communist handlers and his Moslem supporters the ability to put the proper spin on the Moslem terrorist attack that happened on his watch, than to only have investigations by agencies that the Executive Branch controls . . . FBI . . . military intelligence . . . Homeland Security.

The GOP needs to back Democrats on the hill into a corner, and demand an in-depth investigation into what went wrong at Fort Hood free from the Stalin-cover-up like tactics of the Obama Administration. Let Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and every other Democrat dare not allow an independent Congressional investigation into the Fort Hood Massacre.
