W2.0:Rick Perry Wants To Try Ben Bernanke For Treason

Texas Governor Rick Perry suggested in Iowa today that should Bernanke "print more money" before the election that it would be treason. Treason is a capital offense.

Speaking just now in Iowa, Perry said, “If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I dunno what y’all would do to him in Iowa but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas. Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in history is almost treasonous in my opinion.” Treason is a capital offense.

One is not sure if Governor Perry is taking aim at monetary policy here or trying to win over Ron Paul supporters. However, advocating violence against a sitting Federal Reserve Chairman does not really sound all that Presidential.

Someone might also want to remind the Governor that suggesting Texas secede from the Union might also be construed as Treason. But I digress.

I don't know about you gang but I am really looking forward to 16 more months of rhetoric, hyperbole and all things related to the $3B auction, Americans so innocently refer to as the presidential election of 2012

What the fuck is this?

Are you cretins actually taking this shit seriously?  SERIOUSLY?  You're seriously taking this shit seriously?

When were you all born?  Did you all just turn 18 or something and can't wait to exercise your newly gained right to put some checkmarks next to names and then go away thinking you've done some patriotic duty?  After seeing the same results ensue after each election (well, not the same result...in actuality things have been progressively and steadily getting worse), no matter whether it's the guys who wear blue (the Crips) and the ones who wear red (the Bloods) who end up in charge, and seeing how they just proceed to fuck things up even more where the last idiot left off, and you're sitting there seriously going over the options in your head and trying to make sense of it?

Do you also look at leaves scattered by the wind and try to analyze the pattern?  Do you gaze at the lint in your navel and attempt to extract from it wisdom that will afford you awesome powers?  Do you go around smelling peoples' farts to determine what they had for dinner the night before, then use that as a basis for unlocking the mysteries of the Universe?

Seriously, what's wrong with you people?

Who is dillusional?  The diversion serves purpose.  The FED is monetizing the debt ran up for our ten year war on a charge card.

Nobody complainded then.  Cheney said, "Deficits Don't Matter".  They matter now, Why? Because of who they benefit.

The rich enjoyed running up the bill, cashing out and left the mess for somebody else, who is: The Average American. 

Not the Rich Bastards who did it.

The Fed is monetizing all the mortage debt the banks can't get rid of. 

What president said, "More Americans own their own home than ever before".  The problem is, they never owned them.

The Fed is monetizing all the counter risk from over leveraged banks. Look at how much money the CEO's and Banksters made.

Ronnie is not the kind of guy that needs advice, so I would not worry about corndogs.  The dude is also built for an older guy, so no worries there neither.  And the lame stream media?  Fuck 'em, we got the Hedge.  Oh sorry, did I just break a rule?

Bloomberg relates Treason with the Death Penalty.

So....If someone shoots Big Ben. 

Will Rick Perry be charged for inciting violence against a FED official ???

And worse yet, should he be charged now ???
