The Community Reinvestment Act: February 13, 2008

[maconsumner]

Isn’t it amazing that the “blame Bush” crowd doesn’t know anything about this, the regulatory changes or who or what Barney Frank is. None of them even know what the CRA is or what part it took in our financial freefall. In discussions with the “blame Bush” crowd you always hear the same think when Frank’s name comes up, Homophobe. These avoidance tactics drive me crazy, I guess it’s easier to just let them “blame Bush” and the Republicans.

He won reelection...we deserve what we get.

How is this guy (and Nancy Pelosi) still in office. Don't you guys have elections?

[dbviewer5]

His chair is so wide because if it weren't, it would slide right up his abused ass.

[Guest4000]

What a Christian thing to say...

[dbviewer5]

Hey thanks !

[Guest4000]

You're most welcome!  For what it's worth I get a lot of enjoyment out of drawing attention to your hypocrisy so it's win/win! Yay!

[dbviewer5]

What hypocrisy ?

Check out my channel, again. I say that I'm not perfect.

So I guess it's win/win for me, and lose/lose for you.

Hurray !!

[Guest4000]

Heh... I don't think you understand the basic logic of the phrase win/win if you say "win/win for me." Funny... anyway... *pats dbviewer's head*

No, my little hypocrite, what I was referring to was the way you so readily and gleefully sling bigoted insults and mockery while supposedly following the teachings of Jesus. In any case, it's no skin off my back; just thought I'd point out your hypocrisy. I guess that bothers you. It's okay, dbviewer, it's okay that it bothers you.

[dbviewer5]

Guest4000

No, you just missed the way I used win/win.

It's actually win/win/win for me, because I'm not a hypocrite, since; a) I never claim to be perfect b) Jesus died for our sins because we cannot be perfect, since we all have indwelling sin, and c) you lose again.

It's ok to lose. You must be used to it by now.

*Enjoys Guest4000's red face, though dbviewer5 cannot see it*

[Guest4000]

Ha! You just can't help but embarrass yourself further, can you?

Jesus died for your sins so that you could go against his teachings, and then when it's pointed out to you to say, "so what?", and continue to actually *defend* the very thing that was against his teachings. You're the very definition of what Jesus preached against, and you embrace it.  Again, that's fine with me; but the more you defend it, the more un-Christian and hypocritical you are.

*Enjoys dbviewer's continued hypocrisy*

[dbviewer5]

Guest4000

I'm not defending my sins, I'm just stating the obvious, that I AM a sinner. So are you. I'm just not rejecting God's grace, like you seem to be.

However, you may certainly continue to tell Christians how they should behave, if you like.

Maybe you could become a legalistic, fundementalist preacher?

P.S.

Look up the definition of a hypocrite.

I'm sure someone there in the welfare office can help you.

[Guest4000]

Haha... I don't tell Christians how to behave. That would be Jesus. I figured you would know that...

And, yeah, you actually are defending your sins, you're embracing them, in fact. When it's pointed out to you that you contradict Jesus' teachings with your actions instead of saying, "you're right, that was wrong", you defend what you did. Being a "Christian," yep, that's hypocrisy.

Clearly "God's grace" hasn't had much affect on you. Please, keep it up, you look more and more hypocritical.

[dbviewer5]

Guest4000

I see you still haven't looked up the definition of a hypocrite.

[Guest4000]

I see you're in the habit of telling other people to do things that you yourself haven't bothered to do. Interesting.

[dbviewer5]

Guest4000

Ok, I'll do it for you.

Webster's defines hypocrite as follows: One who pretends to be pious, virtuous, etc. without really being so.

You know, there are people who can help you with your literacy. I'm sure you can even find one that's payed for by the taxpayers.

[Guest4000]

Ha... okay, honey, here's the Merriam-Webster definition: "a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs." Do I really need to explain to you the beliefs and virtues that come along with claiming Christianity as your belief system? You really don't know when to quit, do you?

Unfortunately, I don't think there's anyone out there who can help you with your problems with basic logic. You're too far gone, I'm afraid. ;-)

[dbviewer5]

Guest4000

Wow, two different definitions of the same word.

Oh well. My point has always been that I'm NOT perfect, and don't pretend to be.

Yes, please, explain to me, what you must do to be a Christian.

What are the commandments of Jesus?

What is the "work of God?"

[fastdawg]

This guy is out of his mind. CRA let Fannie Mae lend money to people that not only couldn't pay the money back, but had no intention of repaying it back. I have to go now to my 2nd job and work another 60+ hours this week to try and pay off someone else's mortgage that they dead beated on. Thanks Barney & Nancy you pair of douche's.

[badfickle]

CRA regulated bans made only 25% of the subprime loans. the rest were made by private banks and mortgage lenders. CRA banks had lower default rates than private banks and were more likely to keep their loans rather than sell them off. The private lenders were far more reckless in who they gave risky subprime mortgages to.

[Bellator656]

Shut up people. CRA did not contribute to the crisis, it had alleviating effect.

[dbviewer5]

How can America survive when disgusting old cum-guzzling perverts, like Barney Fag, have power in our government.

This crimminal should have been thrown in jail long ago, but instead, the media protects him and the "conservatives" don't have the balls to simply apply the law to his corrupt ass.

[dbviewer5]

The media would never expose this old faggot for his role in the financial crisis.

[golbyaka]

this message should not be marked as spam.

Call Nancy Pelosi @ (202) 225-0100 & let her know you want Congressional hearings investigating the mismanagement of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Tell her you want answers from Barney Frank and Chuck Schumer. Ask her why Franklin Raines and James Johnson were allowed to cook FM books enron style without being held accountable. Ask her why her democratic party refused reform of these entities in exchange for campaign donations.

[1995CRA]

Quit giving loans to people who can't afford them!
