"If ANYONE, no matter the idiology, champions the policies of LIBERAL SPENDING and DEBASEMENT OF CURRENCY that forces folks like us into heavy use of G&S and PM stocks, and then those same people run to G&S and pm stocks"

Well I agree with this statement but not because of progressive, socialists, liberals, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi and George Soros which you manage to mention and slam and blame in your posts. I bought gold and silver starting in 2003 because it was pretty obvious Bush/Cheney/Rove were going to destroy the economy and financial system and they did. Using your logic these guys must be the most liberal spending policicans in history (which they are) yet many on this board think the Tea Party candidates are the second coming of Christ.

I'm not going to hold the Democratics blameless either (but which president had the last budget surplus) only because they didn't have to courage to stand up to Bush and his cronies and there ruinious policies especially the illegal invasion of Iraq and their (non) weapons of mass destructions, $1 trillion cost, 5,000 American lives wasted, and 100,000 Iraqis killed that has not made the U.S. safer and only lower the country's standing in the world. Mission accomplished.

So if a Democratic president had ordered the invasion of Iraq would Fox News, American Spectator, Weekly Standard, Washington Times and National Review done an equally thorough investigation on the whereabouts on their WMDs or support the Patriot Act which stole more rights and liberties from the average American? Remember, that if you didn't supported the illegal invasion of Iraq, you supported terrorists. Hypocrisy?

I think I'm gonna have another plate of Freedom Fries.
