bernanke4Bernie Sanders is once again on the right side. I am not a socialist and I do not agree with most any form of government, but there is a great deal of good to be said about this self proclaimed socialist. Bernie Sanders has a defined political stance and he sticks to it. He sticks to it for what he sees as the benefit of us citizens. Ben Bernanke is up for a another term as chairman of the FED, and after all he has pulled I think congress is so vile and corrupt that this man will be placed back in the FED.

Update 12/07/09

Liberty Maven put up a post here pointing out that Bernie Sanders has a petition out to get rid of Bernanke. Please check out his post and go here to sign the petition.

Update

It looks as if Republican Senators Vitter, Bunning and DeMint have all placed holds on Bernanke.

“Before we even think about moving ahead with Mr. Bernanke’s nomination, we should allow the Federal Reserve Sunshine Act to be discussed and debated on the floor of the Senate,”

It looks as if they want to audit the FED before he gets his next term. Will it happen? I doubt it. Is this good? Yes. Is it a show? Who knows…

Ron Paul & Alan Grayson are also out there speaking against this and still fighting to audit the FED. So, we have Socialists, Libertarians, and Liberals speaking out. I urge all of you to write your Senators and demand they fire Ben Bernanke.

Why should they get rid of the guy? Here’s Why:

Ben Bernanke Was Wrong!

Here is one of the most powerful men in our economy, and it is proven over and over that he is wrong.  He makes damaging decisions and statements that prove to be wrong based on some keynesian economic fantasy.  He still clings to this garbage and is still going with it.  It’s not working, it would never work.  It is nothing but a fantasy.  Now can we have someone who has a grasp on reality please? Didn’t we point out the irony of this horror over Halloween? Remember? the guy that is considered “fringe” is repeatedly proven right, while the guy in charge is repeatedly proven wrong? It’s all right here:  Peter Schiff was right Ben Bernanke was wrong.

Ben Bernanke is a traitor and a criminal

2.2 trillion missing? Who does he serve? I would love to take some of that money he is siphoning out of our economy.

Ron Paul almost always is there to be the nations hero

Now let’s get on it.  This guy needs to be out and this may be our last chance for a while.  He will continue to serve Goldman Sacks.  He will continue to enable the Federal Imposition and the tyranny of the elite patriarchy in Congress.  Let’s get real Congress.  What did all this get us? Why hang on the this failed system? Why hold on to those that told us this would work?

SCHOOL TEACHES STUDENT HOW TO SPEAK HER MIND

The Record (Bergen County, NJ) January 22, 1992 | Vera Lawlor, Record Staff Writer Vera Lawlor, Record Staff Writer The Record (Bergen County, NJ) 01-22-1992 SCHOOL TEACHES STUDENT HOW TO SPEAK HER MIND By Vera Lawlor, Record Staff Writer Date: 01-22-1992, Wednesday Section: SOUTHEAST BERGEN/NORTH HUDSON YOUR TOWN RECORD Edition: 2 Star Column: SCHOLAR OF THE WEEK Biographical: KATHLEEN AGNO in our site articles on abortion

Leonia High School has given Kathleen Agno more than an academic education. The senior said it has taught her how to communicate better and be her own person.

“When I first came here, I was afraid to talk to people, and now I’m sort of a blabbermouth,” Agno said. “In seventh and eighth grade, it was important to belong to a set group. Now I know it’s OK to be yourself. If you rely on a certain group of people for your friends, then you start to become a part of that group. I really don’t care anymore what other people think about me.”

Chosen for top jobs

Students and teachers thought enough of Agno to choose her as vice president of the Environmental Club and managing editor of the school paper. Agno said that both positions are important to her.

“Just today, members of the Environmental Club went around to the rooms, trying to get recycling across to people, but many of them just don’t seem to be interested,” Agno said. “We tell them about the bins for recycling paper, and they say OK, and then they throw gum in there anyway.” go to web site articles on abortion

Agno said she and the club president share the same aspirations for the group.

“I want what the president wants — a lot of members and a lot of involvement,” Agno said.

Agno, who recently was chosen for the state’s Edward J. Bloustein Distinguished Scholar Award and ranks in the top 10 percent of her class, said she benefited from her journalistic experiences.

“In the beginning, I would ask other students what they wanted to put in the paper, because I didn’t want to seem overly bossy,” she said.

“But they wanted me to choose, so I learned to make decisions.”

Keeping on target

Newspaper adviser Jim Avidon described Agno as a hard-working, driving kind of individual. “She keeps the editor in chief and myself on target and is one of the most self-motivated students I’ve had,” added Avidon, who also is an English teacher and drama director.

Agno talked about the problem of getting articles that present both sides of an issue.

“We have read so many articles on abortion, and with that it’s really hard to present a valid argument. Mostly those articles are one-sided, and we don’t want to present an argument for just one side.

We are concerned that the kids reading it will take it as a valid assessment — we want them to read and develop an opinion and not see it as fact.”

In the January edition of the paper, Agno wrote a piece on the William Kennedy Smith rape trial but was disappointed with the timing.

“It was old news by the time it got out, because it takes time to put the paper together, and then nobody wants to hear about it,” Agno said. “I chose it because it interested me. I thought basically that the trial was blown out of proportion — overexposed.”

Agno said that her plans for the future include business school.
