The banking industry has sided with the thug occupying the White House and for many folks Mr. Obama can do no wrong.
The history of the Presidency in the last 50years can be summed up in brief:
With the exception of Jimmy Carter, the ascent of candidates to the 1600 Pennsylvania Ave residence has been that of a minor thug to major criminal status. Nixon’s history exemplifies that best with the final scenes in 1973 of a man running through the White House foaming at the mouth. Bush Sr. was head of the CIA under Nixon, Bush Jr. was the epitome of a wimpy small town crook, and now Obama evinces the aura of a slick Cosa Nostra operative.

I wonder if any bank has ever broken into an occupied home, or one that might be occupied where there are firearms and citizens willing to use them on the intruders once they set foot through the door?

Ive never felt the need or the desire to own a gun before now. But maybe ill just head to wal mart and pick up something simple, and keep it behins the couch and hope, and pray,that “a company hired by JP Morgan breaks into my home while im there”.Happy Thanksgiving!

McKillop says:

In the ’80s, in Calgary, Canada, a man by the name of Valentine fell afoul of the bank(rbc, I think)in that payment of his mortgage was interruptd.
He claimed that the bank had erred and that he had also attempted to pay the mortage, either outright or by resuming the monthly payments.
I am unclear as to specific details.
At he time, he owed about $28,000.00 on a home that had increased -owing to a bubble formed in Canada’s oil patch- to a value of $280,000.
The bank dispatched two employees to Valentine’s home, whereupon he held the employees captive, at gunpoint.
The newspaper reports failed to hold my attention, but I did meet Mr. Valentine personally a few years later, after he had been released from prison, once he had become ruined.
He told me his story, tried to show me the documentation and manuscript that he had that was going to expose the injustice that had taken his worth and sent him to prison.
From what I understand, usaian cops are much more “shoot-em up” than Canadian cops.
It’s o.k. to talk tough but I hope many of you people who are claiming the right to violent defense remember that you are ‘always out-numbered, always out-gunned’.
The muckymucks at banks can always hire more goons, yeh?
(so perhaps we might say, “always out-numbered, always out-gooned.)
