It is HIS failure and legacy.<br /><br />Although I don't consider myself a conservative by today's definition, you'll get no argument from me that McCain would have at least been as bad as Obama with regards to the further destruction of America.Chief Instructorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13604561415860237705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-85692581701494044752011-05-30T09:05:18.083-07:002011-05-30T09:05:18.083-07:00Congress passed the Patriot act not Bush.

His worst failing was that he was not a conservative and the press choose to make his politics look like failed conservatism.

Game over. Sorry.

My son walked into the family room and told me, and I was, "Eh." Kind of anti-climatic. He's been a non-entity for quite a while. I was more excited when Saddam was caught in the rat hole. I dunno, it just doesn't have me jumping up and down.<br /><br />Sly, it's stuff like this - Osama's death - that I don't really take into account for gold and silver. It's a blip up or down that's unrelated to the underlying causes of the price of PMs.<br /><br />My biggest issue right now is the major psychological level of $50 for silver. I think it's going to toy with this level for a bit, then blow through it like there's no tomorrow.<br /><br />I thought $1500 gold would be tougher to break and maintain, and that was largely a walk in the park, so who knows?<br /><br />Sue, That whole "going to blow up a levee" thing caught my attention yesterday. Holy crap.<br /><br />As that article noted, how can you justify flooding 140,000 acres of farmland to save a few blocks of a city? It will be interesting to see if any of the farmers "visit" the levees with shotguns and deer rifles...Chief Instructorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13604561415860237705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-31341499467123648872011-05-02T09:02:59.119-07:002011-05-02T09:02:59.119-07:00Ran across this article today:

Now to get rid of the most dangerous man in the world and get ourselves back on even keel.<br />I'm pretty sure this small fluctuation in silver and gold prices will be short lived, Chief. Soon as news of Osama came out, a friend (who poo-poos my prepping) emailed me that the market will jump now and he'll be vindicated in his contempt of my urging him to buy silver and gold.<br />I wrote back that all it means is farther for it to fall tomorrow. <br />Not that I need to tell you to hang on- it's going to rise higher still. May be a good time to buy more, too.<br />Shy IIIShy Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708293970831678927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-65596079448663078962011-05-02T04:37:50.136-07:002011-05-02T04:37:50.136-07:00Perhaps the title of your post should be PATRIOT-i...Perhaps the title of your post should be PATRIOT-ick? <br /><br />So I'm sure you're hearing the bin laden reports, yes?
