Mirror Mirror On the wall

A BAWNY REDUX Barney Frank has spent his entire career attacking “right-wingers,” yet Frank did more to help the efforts of the real right-wingers, Islamic terrorists attacking America, than has any American politician in history. His stated reason for doing it, sponsoring a bill that struck the exclusion clause from the Immigration and Nationality Act in 1989, was to help left-wing poets, particularly his friend Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the author of “My Melancholy Whores,” enter the country legally to sell books. Marquez was denied a visa by the State Department because of his ties to Fidel Castro. As a member of Congress, Frank could have chosen to sponsor a trip for the harmless Marquez himself. Instead he sponsored a law that made it possible for all visa applicants to enter the country legally unless there was “proof” they had been involved in “terrorist activities.” Any lawyer worth a damn would tell you that it would be difficult to prove that Osama bin Laden was involved in “terrorist activities.” His stated reason for doing it, sponsoring a bill that struck the exclusion clause from the Immigration and Nationality Act in 1989, was to help left-wing poets, particularly his friend Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the author of “My Melancholy Whores,” enter the country legally to sell books. Gerald Posner, in his book “Why America Slept: The Failure to Prevent 9/11,” wrote that Frank had “led a successful effort to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act so that membership in a terrorist group was no longer sufficient to deny a visa. Under Frank’s amendment, which seems unthinkable post–Sept. 11, a visa could only be denied if the government could prove that the applicant had committed an act of terrorism.” Former CIA directors James Woolsey and George Tenet have both testified that Congress had opened the floodgates to terrorists. After its passage, terrorists associated with Hamas and al-Qaida began entering the country with legal visas, began recruiting domestic terrorists and sending funds to overseas “charities,” according to the congressional testimony of terrorism expert Steven Emerson.

Here's a short look at his permanent record.

A last slap at Bawney Fwank

It appears self-styled equality champ and former gay whorehouse proprietor Barney Frank can no longer catch a break in #ThisTown. Sigh.

Not only has the documentary team that followed the Massachusetts Democrat around during his final year in Congress struggled to make ends meet on Indiegogo, now the art house theater where the trio had originally planned to stage the D.C. premiere of “Compared to What: The Improbable Journey of Barney Frank” is staggering toward a fast-approaching final bow. Filmmaker Sheila Canavan told HOH plans to share the up-close-and-personal look at the former lawmaker with District cinephiles have been shelved pending the conclusion of the ongoing fundraising push. She and partner Michael Chandler have raised roughly a third of the funds (around $30,000, at press time) they feel is necessary to fine-tune the silver-screen treatment of Frank’s everyday existence. [Roll Call cont] I suspect this will be the last time Bawney, the man most responsible for the 2008 bank collapse, will grace this page.  No, not even for his obit. For those interesetd, his newly released autobiography, “Frank: A Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same-Sex Marriage” is for sale. Hurry, while they last.

Bawney Fwank - In His Own Words

I just ran across this old post- Barney Frank on opening day of the 110th Congress ( Jan 4, 2007)  laying out his agenda.  Way to go Barney - you got your way.

Ugly Bride; Ugly Person

Must Eat Brains              Here Comes The Bride no, really “ Haha, Barney Frank has been ruined by his love for his sweet, caring, nurturing, and also nagging young husband. Let us remember together happier times. ” “ Here is a lovely thing about gay dudes: they really want their lovers to be happy. And that is why Jim Ready was pretty much pushed into retiring Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank’s lecherous old arms by his own dying partner. And now Ready and Frank are married, and Barney Frank is nice. Man, those gays can make over anything.- WONKETTE Barney Frank is responsible for more human misery, and more yet to come, than—who knows?  What a ridiculous and evil man.  ”

FHA Bankrupt

WHAT GUMMINT DOES

“ Thank You Barney, et al Why does FHA Mortgage Insurance exist? Unlike conventional loans that adhere to strict underwriting guidelines, FHA-insured loans require very little cash investment to close a loan. There is more flexibility in calculating household income and payment ratios. The cost of the mortgage insurance is passed along to the homeowner and typically is included in the monthly payment. In most cases, the insurance cost to the homeowner will drop off after five years or when the remaining balance on the loan is 78 percent of the value of the property -whichever is longer. How is FHA funded? FHA is the only government agency that operates entirely from its self-generated income and costs the taxpayers nothing. The proceeds from the mortgage insurance paid by the homeowners are captured in an account that is used to operate the program entirely. FHA provides a huge economic stimulation to the country in the form of home and community development, which trickles down to local communities in the form of jobs, building suppliers, tax bases, schools, and other forms of revenue. [FHA] In the wayback, when the newly married us were buying our first home,  my dad jokingly offered that the FHA insurance fee was something of a gummint money making scam.  The default rate on FHA loans (going back to 1933) was so low that administration fees alone  cost more than any payout.  Of course that was long before  Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, and  Chris Dodd  became  the nation's banking engineers. Fast forward. “ For the first time in its 78-year history, the 100 percent taxpayer-backed Federal Housing Administration is projected to run out of its remaining $4.7 billion financial reserves and trigger an infusion of funds from the Treasury. ”   ”

Top Ten: Barney’s frankest

I was going to say "Its fun piling on Barney Frank and sticking it to him while he's down." but .. ahem.  Instead,  this Daily Caller slide show, each with its own supporting video, is supercalifragilisticexpialidociously  schadenfreudal.  Barney Frank is truly a modern day Mrs. O' Leary who lit a lantern in our shed. Number 10: “I want to roll the dice” Number 9: “You are not going to see a collapse” in the housing market Number 8: The Steve Gobie affair Number 7: Herb Moses Number 6: Frank talks about showing with gay soldiers Number 5: Dodd–Frank-enstein Number 4: Barney Frank was gay before it was cool Number 3: Barney slurred by Dick’s slip Number 2: So full of hot air, it had to escape somehow and.. Number 1: The mea culpa of them all "Following the announcement that he  would no longer run for Congress, Barney Frank co-sponsored a bill Tuesday that would repeal the “death panel” component of Obamacare."

Culture Fraud

The tee-shirt buying public have been taught that Bill Clinton was a great president.  Whom conservatives tried, and failed, to impeach for getting head from some chippie.  Here's how THE HILL announced that Barney Frank would retire. "Frank, 71, is the top Democrat on the Financial Services Committee and the architect, with former Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), of the sweeping Wall Street regulatory reform law enacted in 2010." Nothing about the three of them acting in concert to force bankers into loan practices that toppled the world economy.  Literally.  Clinton, Dodd, Frank. The three most vile people in government over the past quarter century. Miss Them?  Hell, If it wun't against the law, never. ” Unplugged

“  "Live television has its drawbacks. A big one is that you never know when an accident might happen. Exhibit A: Monday night's 'The Rachel Maddow Show' on MSNBC. While talking to Maddow's audience about jobs and unemployment, Rep. Barney Frank, the Massachusetts Democrat, might have accidentally let one rip, so to speak." Watch the video and judge for yourself. Right after Frank says, "We've gotta get some jobs," he follows through by creating one for his dry cleaner.  (DC)                    Ewwwwwwww

Rep. Frank: Administration 'wasting time' with online poker crackdown

“   "What an incredible waste of resources," Frank said in an interview with The Hill regarding last Friday's crackdown, which saw the FBI and Justice Department shut down the three largest online poker sites in what appears to be the largest sting to date on illegal online gambling. "Go after the people responsible for empty houses, not full houses," Frank added. "I'm not saying violate the law, but to give this priority in law enforcement over some other things I think is a terrible idea and I think the administration is wrong on this." ” Okay Barney, that would be you.  X marks the place where I was going to plant the wonderful SNL video,  that raked Bawney over the coals and pinned blame squarely on his puffy shoulders.   Should've been  easy, I've embedded it at least three times before, and just had to find one of them.  Did the Google site search at the top of the page.  "Can't be found" Okay, I went to (Google owned) Blogger internal search - that will find anything.  Nope, items not found.  I did an open Google search;  found several  (Google owned) YouTube  links, but none of them worked (one played, but there was no sound). Sumbitch Google!! I'm not giving up. Aha! Here it is -  X!!!  Found! One  of the main people people responsible for empty houses (and wallets, and savings, and ... .)

The Barney Frank Legacy

“... only the Big 4 Banks will be doing mortgage loans period.”

“ This will be the final nail in the coffin of the US Mortgage and Housing Industry.  The Fed has set it up whereby only the Big 4 Banks will be doing mortgage loans period.  They have run all the independent brokers out of business and have increased the cost of mortgage loans in every aspect (appraisals have almost doubled in cost in the last three years).  The sad part of this is it was FANNIE and FREDDIE as well as the banks [and Dems in Congress, and Bill Clinton] that caused the crash to begin with and this Administration is rewarding the banks for that effort while driving millions of small business owners and their support personnel out of business.  This was the only on-shore home grown US industry and you will have seen it's destruction in the last three years.  Please view the video below.

Barney Frank - Crimnal at Large

Barney rakes in $40G from bailed out banks ... despite vow to shun bailed-out lenders

Meanwhile - while this video has only mediocre production values by today's standards,  it was produced and paid for by the Gay advocacy group GOProud - and, as a commenter noted,  freely plays on anti-gay stereotypes, referring to Barney Frank as 'catty. My position on Barney Frank is that he, even more than Bill Clinton, is responsible for bringing this nation, if not all of western civilization, to the brink of destruction.  It's unconscionable that he still has a voice in government.

Barney Frank needs comeuppance

Barney Frank may be responsible for destroying Western civilization as we know it. I can make that case - TRKOF
