Bureaucrats Assure Their Security

Bureaucrats Assure Their Security – Not Ours (6-11-10)

Hi, this is conservative candor and I'm Dr. Carl Mumpower...

The failure of government bureaucrats to regulate the finance industry was recently duplicated by their energy counterparts. Earlier, another Fed regulatory agency, the Corp of Engineers, helped Katrina and a shoddy dike system flood New Orleans. Then there was our security agencies failure to heed ample early warnings of 9-11. These breakdowns didn't come from resource limitations - they were due to built in thinking and doing limitations. After the fact we've learned finance regulators missed clues but got free lunches. Though energy regulators knew there were 3,800 gulf wells, they had no policy for damage control in the face of even one malfunction. Though our engineer regulators knew that the dikes were risky well before Katrina, they avoided controversy and plodded toward solutions. 911, we're told, resulted from a failure to act on existing info. This decade has produced ample evidence that government regulators fail at everything but self-protection. While we find comfort in the imagined safety of bureaucracy, the next disaster is lining up to give us more lessons in reality...

YWCA and Other Illegal Immigration Enablers (9-9-10)

Hi - this is Dr. Carl with today's candid conservative minute...

Since the seventies, your neighborhood YWCA has made social activism a top priority. What was once a Young Women's Christian Association is now more like a Young Women's Liberal Association. Heck, we couldn't even find the word "Christian" anywhere on their web site. Recent activities include hosting a Webinar on Immigration Reform. Sounds innocent until you get to know their partner, The National Immigration Forum. Their mission is amnesty for the 15 plus million illegals in America. Like a host of non-profits, churches, and political enablers going back at least to Ronald Reagan, these folks support amnesty behind a hollow promise of stronger enforcement. That scam has failed for 25 years. When we prove we're serious about enforcement, then we can talk reform. Until then, the YWCA and enablers are using their non-profit credentials to conceal social engineering with a liberal bias. If you're a conservative with a checkbook, you might want to take a closer look at what your charitable donations are funding...
