Obama is going to pay my mortgage!

[Freakzilla]

Some of you may have read where I was whining about problems paying my mortgage in the auto maintenance topic.

Well, I called my bank last night and they said I may be eligible for President Obama's "Making Home Affordable" plan: http://www.makinghomeaffordable.gov/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This would reduce my payments to 31% of my income, which would be much more affordable than the 50-60% I'm paying now.

OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA!!

glad for your mortgage too

but you're not actually going to take
this 'government handout', are you, Freak ?


just say to socialism ....

[SandChigger]

I hope it works out for you, Freak.

just say to socialism ....

Well, considering my original lender lied to me about my payments and put off closing until after we sold our mobile home, I consider it justice.

I'm not getting any money, it's just a loan modification.

[SandRider]

so you're saying the government interferring with the banks for the
welfare of the public is a good thing ?

[HoryThory]

Most of the time the only way they'll modify a loan is if it was thru Freddie or Fannie. And sometimes they'll tell you they'll drop your interest rate from, say, 6% to 3.5%.... but that 2.5% you're getting out of? Guess what? It's being tacked on to the principal on the backend. Same fucked up tactics the banks did to get us all into this mess.

Taking ANY kind of money from the government should NEVER be a question. You should do it automatically. They do nothing but take money from you for your entire life and you have no choice in the matter. If they are stupid enough to give money back to you, in whatever form, it should be taken without hesitation. Money is always better managed in your hands than in those of the government.

Ah. Conservative rationalization. A private lender lies to you and the government has to come in and clean it up. I'm glad someone is listening to you and helping you out, Freak. But this is kind of ironic, don't you think? Or are you now becomming more liberal? The damndest things happen when you hang with us.

Didn't your conservative governor also try to refuse TARP money? Maybe that wasn't such a good idea either.

[SandChigger]

Freak ... a liberal?!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

My entire worldview just shattered.

[SandRider]

goddamnit, that's been sticking in my craw for months ...

Freak IS a liberal - if you pin him down on his core values & issues,
he's as liberal as anybody who loves freedom.

but, I think, & this is MY opinion,
it's the gung-ho military bullshit, and some
old fashioned down-home Southern racism.

consider his hometown which had a LONG history
of blacks playing the race card @the drop of a hat,
and he's a young, hot-blooded white guy - the target
audience for the hate-mongers @FOX News.

and, it feels GOOD to get all pissed off about that kinda
stuff & want to kick ass .....

tough-guy stance, too (again, the military brainwashing, er training)
Kill em all, let God sort em out.

Leftist-progressives who care about poor people & human rights &
the condition of minorities are easily characterized as weak-minded
pussies.

Now, don't get all pissed, Freak.
I have a lot of respect for you,
but you know this gets under my skin.

I don't believe you're a nazi, but sometimes you really do sound like one.
And that bothers me.


AND, I probably should click "cancel" instead of "submit" .....

fuck, let's flip a coin ...

Safaris through ancestral memories teach me many things. The patterns, ahhh, the
patterns Liberal bigots are the ones who trouble me most. I distrust the
extremes. Scratch a conservative and you find someone who prefers the past over
any future. Scratch a liberal and find a closet aristocrat. It's true! Liberal
governments always develop into aristocracies The bureaucracies betray the true
intent of people who form such governments. Right from the first, the little
people who formed the governments which promised to equalize the social burdens
found themselves suddenly in the hands of bureaucratic aristocracies. Of course,
all bureaucracies follow this pattern. but what a hypocrisy to find this even
under a communized banner Ahhh, well, if patterns teach me anything it's that
patterns are repeated. My oppressions. by and large, are no worse than any of
the others and, at least. I teach a new lesson.

I know that.
And I'm sorry.
(I believe all that stuff I said,
but I should've kept it to myself)

drunk, tho.
talk alot of shit.
story of my life ..

Scratch a conservative and you find someone who prefers the past over
any future. Scratch a liberal and find a closet aristocrat.

true & true.

and that's my philosophy, too.
I distrust the extremes of both sides.
(I do like to talk up the extreme left, tho,
esp. now, just because it stirs up the Good
Ol Boys ....)

But also very perceptive, I argued with the only part of your rant I could.

As for me taking government assistance (mediation)... do y'all really think I'd even bring it up here if I wasn't at peace with it?

I work hard and pay my taxes, why shouldn't I take advantage of whatever assistance I can? I'm paying for it. It's the deadbeats that feel it's the duty of the government to take care of them that I have a problem with.

Looking back, I had to do what I did to get my family out of that trailer park and into a decent house for the sake of my mariage and children. My father-in-law had bought my wife that trailer after she got divorced. I payed him for it, I couldn't stand to live with that over my head. We are not white trash and do not deserve to live like that.

Why do people call right wingers Nazis, when the Nazis were left wing racists?

Why do people call right wingers Nazis, when the Nazis were left wing racists?

Because people over here have some kind of fucked up Hitler obsession. It starts in high school and is strengthened by non-stop History Channel coverage. If anyone sees anything they don't like they associate it with Hitler. It's getting damned annoying.

You know that little letter "H" that appears at the bottom left of every show on the History channel? That stands for "Hitler."

A common joke between me and my brother.

I was ready to block the channel on my TV entirely until The Universe started. I think that's a History Channel show. It's fantastic. I think the new season starts next week. I can't believe how long this thread took us to get off-topic.

THE UNIVERSE RULEZ!!!

(The rip-off NHK version in Japanese ... not so much. )

Yeah, that's a great show. They did a catch-up marathon a few weekends back. Liked to killed me!

Almost makes up for crap like smooty linked to in that weather control thread.

The Universe is made of all win. Love it.

They've got a new R. Lee Ermy show too. Kind of like Mail Call but focused on weapons.

I love Ermy!
Both these shows sound rather interesting. I'll have to see if they're on the net somewhere
