Sunshine and Lollipops in the Land of Denial

The newest term to describe folks that want to speak their mind at Town Halls is: Evil-mongers. This comes courtesy of Harry Reid.

In a government that has truly lost it's collective mind, it seems that DHS just basically trolled some questionable web sites to come up with their everyone who doesn't like Obama is a possible domestic terrorist. The Southern Poverty Law Center was one of the web sites used in making the report. And now, the SPLC is using the report to back up their far left kooky outlook. And then, DHS takes that to mean Militia groups are on the rise. See the pattern here. BS exponentially grows, and DHS is making policy on pure BS.

Militia groups with gripes against the government are regrouping across the country and could grow rapidly, according to an organization that tracks such trends. Notice they don't mention the tracking organization is the Southern Poverty Law Center's web site.

But that isn't what I want to point out today. Remember all the way back to Monday? Monday the recession was over, unemployment was down, and housing and retail sales were up. Here we are all the way into Thursday.

The Commerce Department said Thursday that retail sales fell 0.1 percent last month. Economists had expected a gain of 0.7 percent.

The Labor Department said initial claims increased to a seasonally adjusted 558,000, from 554,000 the previous week. Analysts expected new claims to drop to 545,000 .

Didn't they say last week only 200,000 filed for unemployment? 558,000 looks a lot like the horrible numbers from 6 months ago. And those folks from 6 months ago are now out of unemployment benefits, and no longer being counted as unemployed.

Banks repossessed more than 87,000 homes in July, up from about 79,000 homes a month earlier. The number of U.S. households on the verge of losing their homes rose 7 percent from June to July.

Wait, they said just yesterday the housing market had turned around.

Ah, but here is some cheery news: The federal deficit climbed higher into record territory in July, hitting $1.27 trillion with two months remaining in the budget year.

I remember when I was a kid, at least people thought they could trust what the government told them.

Now they just blatantly ignore the facts and tell you the world is full of lollipops and sunshine. Don't look at the real numbers, just believe the crap we make up on the spot, that gets repeated on all the news shows to make you feel good.

Never mind that Detroit has no grocery stores anymore, and they need armed guards to deliver to the mom and pop operations.

And the White House, they weren't going to use the Email addresses that got turned in for FISHY information, now were they. At least they said they would not on Monday. Well, OK, they lied, they are sending every one that was turned in official Emails now.

The country is a mess, despite what they tell us. There is no such thing as a jobless recovery. It is just something the government made up to pacify us.

Where did my country go?
