Jared: Several folks on Active Rain have posted this video, or ones like it. I think they all, and the gentleman appearing as Thomas Paine, are severly in need of therapy. Ahhh... conspiracy theories... doncha just love them. Tea Parties, anyone ?

By the way... the Preamble to the Constitution contains the following words: "promote the general welfare." Do we just delete that, and pretend it never existed ?

The classic liberal argument; "Don't agree with us? Shut Up"

"promote the general welfare Do we just delete that, and pretend it never existed ?."

That's a better argument, Karen. The answer is that it never left the Constitution but is sandwiched in between two qualifying statements:

provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity

I think The Framers interpretation of "promote the general welfare" was more in line with those qualifiers than the way the Progressives have bastardized that interpretation it with their implementation of the Spending Package looting of the Treasury

I am very impressed with America's #2 mortgage broker.... really impressed.

By the way, Bill; we have a little group meeting on Thursday and would love to have you join us.

Read the bill folks, http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-3200

I am sure that many of the things written by our forefathers, were not intended to be taken in the context that they have been, What's new? It's called politics. Social Securiity is a mess because they gave it to people who never worked for it. It was intended for retirees.

The US Congress is up for re-election next year. Vote all new people in and hope that they can do a better job.

I guess a lot of the founding fathers would be in jail today if liberals had their way. We have strayed so far from the basics our country were founded on. Itwas never intended that America become a welfare state with free retirement, health-care, and allowing the politicians to buy their way into office with freebies like this for their constituents.

Hi all,

Thanks for the comments!

Being an active real estate professional, can one really believe Obama is good for our industry?

For those interested, below are a few links to recent posts by my dad on various government actions affecting real estate:

Government’s New Own to Rent Program

Govt. to Cut Foreclosures by 75%!

Federal Energy Compliance Audits on Every Home Sale?

Cap & Trade … The Big Tax

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Refinance Loans up to 125% of Value

If you like these posts, feel free to re-post this comment and links to other real estate pros, so, just maybe we can get NAR to wake up!

Jared: It is time we stopped paying so much attention to our own selfish needs, and did what was best for our country as a whole.

I see you mention these are "your Dad's" posts. How about stuff that you yourself have written ? That might enhance your own credibility.

Karen Anne, we tried that in education and it didn't work. Here's why: If all the A students work hard, and have to reduce their grades to Bs to accomodate the C students (who didnt work hard), the A students will just stop doing their home work.

Reward Success; Stigmatize Failure

Karen Anne, thanks again for your comments.

My AR blog has lots of my own posts. Plus, it's this my most recent post we are now commenting on.

Do you believe having home electric rates double/triple is going to be a good thing?

The video you can view at: Cap & Trade tax shows Obama saying just that! I must give him credit, he is doing just what he said he would do.

Jared and Brian: Sorry guys. I'm done here. You have a wonderful week. Take care...
