Embarrassing display? No, Calhoun nailed it this time
Feb. 26, 2009
UConn basketball coach Jim Calhoun doesn't owe anyone an apology. Not for the money he makes. Not even in this economy.
Is that clear enough? Jim Calhoun makes $1.6 million -- OK, he makes "a lot more than that," as he pointed out a few days ago -- and that's fine with me. It should be fine with you. On this issue he owes no apologies to anyone, a list that includes you and me and his state's naïve governor and, especially, the grandstanding attention hound who hijacked Calhoun's recent postgame press conference to advance a political cause...
This event is emblematic of the class warfare taking place in our society today. Let me be blunt. IT'S NOBODY'S BUSINESS WHAT ANYONE ELSE EARNS!!! There isn't a person in this country that doesn't have enough things in their own lives to worry about before even thinking about someone else's. The desire to punish achievement and success is despicable and atrocious. Achievement and success are to be celebrated, not punished! I think people need to remember Commandment number 10:
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. Ex 20:17

Netanyahu Set to Fight Recession With Repeat Dose of Tax Cuts
Bloomberg.com
By David Rosenberg
Feb. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Benjamin Netanyahu plans to apply the same small-government policies when he becomes Israel’s prime minister as he did six years ago as finance minister. Then, his tax and spending cuts helped lift the economy out of recession. They may be less suitable this time around.
The Likud party leader, who has until April 3 to form a coalition, faces a shrinking economy, a growing budget deficit and a frozen corporate bond market. The recession in the U.S. and Europe has clobbered Israeli exports, which account for about half of gross domestic product in a country whose economy is smaller than Singapore’s. His only fiscal tool for the moment is a budget drawn up in August and stalled in the parliament...
No society has EVER taxed itself into prosperity, but EVERY time that taxes have been cut the economy prospers. John Kennedy cut taxes and the economy prospered and federal revenue increased. Ronald Reagan cut taxes and the economy prospered and federal revenue increased. George W. Bush cut taxes and the economy prospered and federal revenue increased. If you find this hard to believe, check the OMB stats. Benjamin Netanyahu understands this and his country will prosper as a result. Obama, Pelosi, & Reed know this, but don't care because they are more interested in their power and control over the people of this country!

Senator to Force Vote on Bill Banning Fairness Doctrine
Sen. Jim DeMint plans to introduce amendment on D.C. Voting Rights bill to prevent FCC from censoring talk radio.
By Jeff Poor
Business & Media Institute
2/20/2009 9:30:10 AM
Although a spokesman for President Barack Obama said the administration wouldn’t pursue the revival of the Fairness Doctrine, Republican Sen. Jim DeMint, S.C., wants Senate Democrats to go on the record one way or another on the issue.
DeMint, chairman of the Senate Steering Committee, said on Feb. 19 he will offer the Broadcaster Freedom Act as an amendment to the D.C. Voting Rights bill next week. The Broadcaster Freedom Act was introduced by Republican lawmakers last month and prevents the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from reinstating the Fairness Doctrine...
The "Fairness Doctrine" is better called(as Sean Hannity has labled it) the Censorship Doctrine! This is the same type of tactic that the fascists and Nazi's used! The people doing this are the ones CLAIMING to be the protectors of freedom of speech. In reality though, they only want to protect that speech that agrees with them. It's very much like "bipartisanship" to them. Bipartisanship is when everyone else tosses their beliefs and core values aside and caves in to them.
Rush has an excellent editorial in the Wall Street Journal today. As usual he nails the point. Here is the link to his editorial:

Economic Miracle
BY WALTER E. WILLIAMS
RELEASE: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2009 AND THEREAFTER
The idea that even the brightest person or group of bright people, much less the U.S. Congress, can wisely manage an economy has to be the height of arrogance and conceit. Why? It is impossible for anyone to possess the knowledge that would be necessary for such an undertaking. At the risk of boring you, let's go through a small example that proves such knowledge is impossible.
Imagine you are trying to understand a system consisting of six elements. That means there would be 30, or n(n-1), possible relationships between these elements. Now suppose each element can be characterized by being either on or off. That means the number of possible relationships among those elements grows to the number 2 raised to the 30th power; that's well over a billion possible relationships among those six elements...
Dr. Williams does an excellent job explaining the ecomomics of our economy! If you are one who thinks that Congress and The President did the right thing with the "stimulus," then you REALLY need to read this article!

'Historic' Stimulus Is Egregious Waste
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Thursday, February 12, 2009 4:20 PM PT
Economic Recovery: Congress is confident it will send President Obama a stimulus bill to sign by Monday's holiday. Unless something unforeseen happens, what lawmakers will put on his desk is a $789 billion waste...
...Harvard economist Robert Barro calls the legislation "probably the worst bill that has been put forward since the 1930s."
"I mean it's wasting a tremendous amount of money," he said in an interview with the Atlantic. "I don't think it will expand the economy. . . . I think it's garbage..."
As I've said before, there isn't a single "stimulating" thing about this monstrosity! Porkulus, as Rush calls it, is pure lard. I thought lard was bad for us? I guess in this case the nannies that are our Congressmen are willing to over look such trivialities. While McDonald's fries haven't tasted the same since they stopped using lard this thing smells like a rotting pile of fat left out in 100+ degree weather. The vultures have started circling too, just waiting for their opportunity to start the feeding frenzy!

Cessna Launches Campaign to Counter Business Aircraft Misinformation
CESSNA: A Textron Company
WICHITA, Kan., Feb. 11, 2009 - Cessna Aircraft Company, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, today announced a new initiative to address misinformation on the business use of general aviation aircraft and to provide a more accurate picture of the value of business aircraft as a resource that makes companies more competitive.
“We think it’s time the other side of the story be told, and that support be given to those businesses with the good judgment and courage to use business aviation to not only help their businesses survive the current financial crisis, but more quickly forge a path toward an economic upturn,” said Cessna Chairman, President and CEO Jack J. Pelton.
“Today, we are demanding business leaders and managers work at their absolute peak to turn their companies, and our economy, around,” Pelton said...
It is amazing to me that these CEO's get up there in front of these "Representatives"(I only call them that in the technical sense of the term as they really don't "represent" hardly anyone) and don't have the male anatomy to stand up to these losers! It's time that they grew a pair and stopped being pushed around.
The "Representatives" questioning these men couldn't manage their way out of a wet paper bag. They are some of the most incompetent and inept people going. It is the likes of these people that have gotten us into the trouble we are currently experiencing. Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Maxine Waters, and several others(all Democrats by the way) are the ones responsible for not allowing proper oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac! The push, started by Jimmy Carter and expanded by Bill Clinton, to force banks to make loans to people that couldn't afford to pay them back and the backing of them by Fannie and Freddy is what got us into this situation. It is these people, NOT the CEO's that need to be facing inquiries right now! Yes, there are some bad CEO's(most all of them from the Baby-Boom generation), but in general and over all they are good at what they do.
It's also galling that these "Representatives" CLAIM to be fighting for the "little guy." Who builds these jets? Who services them? Who pilots them? That would be "THE LITTLE GUY!" The very person the Dems are supposed to be "fighting for." If that's the case then how come they continually impose new restrictions on or bad mouth industries such as this one, the RV industry and the domestic auto industry? Who gets hurt when these things happen? That would be "THE LITTLE GUY!" I think it's time "the little guy" woke up and stopped voting for these turds!
Another very good article on this can be found in the Wall Street Journal:

Cessna Fights Back On Private-Jet Trend
The Hell with Our Constitution
A MINORITY VIEW
BY WALTER E. WILLIAMS
RELEASE: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2009 AND THEREAFTER
Dr. Robert Higgs, senior fellow at the Oakland-based Independent Institute, penned an article in The Christian Science Monitor (2/9/2009) that suggests the most intelligent recommendation that I've read to fix our current economic mess. The title of his article gives his recommendation away: "Instead of stimulus, do nothing -- seriously."
Stimulus package debate is over how much money should be spent, whether some should given to the National Endowment for the Arts, research sexually transmitted diseases or bail out Amtrak, our failing railroad system. Dr. Higgs says, "Hardly anyone, however, is asking the most important question: Should the federal government be doing any of this?" He adds, "Until the 1930s, the Constitution served as a major constraint on federal economic interventionism. The government's powers were understood to be just as the framers intended: few and explicitly enumerated in our founding document and its amendments. Search the Constitution as long as you like, and you will find no specific authority conveyed for the government to spend money on global-warming research, urban mass transit, food stamps, unemployment insurance, Medicaid, or countless other items in the stimulus package and, even without it, in the regular federal budget..."
As usual, Dr. Williams hit's the nail squarely on the head!

Reaganomics vs. Obamanomics
The current president wants higher taxes, more regulation, more spending and loose money.
The Wall Street JournalBy PETER FERRARA
In his inaugural address, President Barack Obama said, "The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works -- whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified." Or as administration spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said in January, the touchstone is, "What will have the biggest and most immediate impact on creating private sector jobs and strengthening the middle class? We're guided by what works, not by any ideology or special interests."
Unfortunately, this rhetoric is not true. Mr. Obama's economic policy is following not what has been proven to work but liberal ideology.
The best way to understand this is to compare what's being proposed now with what Ronald Reagan accomplished. In 1980, amid a seriously dysfunctional economy, Reagan campaigned for president on an economic recovery program with four specific components...
Ronald Reagan saw this for what it was decades ago!
“…this program, I promise you will pass just as surely as the sun will come up tomorrow. And behind it will come other federal programs that will invade every area of freedom as we have known it in this country until, one day, as Norman Thomas said, we will wake to find that we have Socialism. And if you don’t do this, and I don’t do this, one of these days, you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children, and our children’s children, what it once was like in America, when men were free.”
–Ronald Reagan, 1961

Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan: Betsy McCaughey

"The only greater [evil] than separation... [is] living under a government of discretion."
-- Thomas Jefferson to William Gordon, 1826. The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, (Memorial Edition) Lipscomb and Bergh, editors, ME 10:358
Commentary by Betsy McCaughey
Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Republican Senators are questioning whether President Barack Obama’s stimulus bill contains the right mix of tax breaks and cash infusions to jump-start the economy.
Tragically, no one from either party is objecting to the health provisions slipped in without discussion. These provisions reflect the handiwork of Tom Daschle, until recently the nominee to head the Health and Human Services Department.
Senators should read these provisions and vote against them because they are dangerous to your health. (Page numbers refer to H.R. 1 EH, pdf version)...
...Elderly Hardest Hit
Daschle says health-care reform “will not be pain free.” Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will bear the brunt.
Medicare now pays for treatments deemed safe and effective. The stimulus bill would change that and apply a cost- effectiveness standard set by the Federal Council (464).
The Federal Council is modeled after a U.K. board discussed in Daschle’s book. This board approves or rejects treatments using a formula that divides the cost of the treatment by the number of years the patient is likely to benefit. Treatments for younger patients are more often approved than treatments for diseases that affect the elderly, such as osteoporosis.
In 2006, a U.K. health board decreed that elderly patients with macular degeneration had to wait until they went blind in one eye before they could get a costly new drug to save the other eye. It took almost three years of public protests before the board reversed its decision...
I guess the elderly are expendable. I guess we're supposed to let the government decide what treatments we need when we need them and exactly what type we need!? I'm from the government and I'm here to help you! OK!?

CBO: Obama stimulus harmful over long haul

Wednesday, February 4, 2009
President Obama's economic recovery package will actually hurt the economy more in the long run than if he were to do nothing, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday.
CBO, the official scorekeepers for legislation, said the House and Senate bills will help in the short term but result in so much government debt that within a few years they would crowd out private investment, actually leading to a lower Gross Domestic Product over the next 10 years than if the government had done nothing...
There's NOTHING stimulating about this bill! It's pure lard, plain and simple! Oink, oink, oink, oink, oink!!!

Czech President Vaclav Klaus took aim at climate change campaigner Al Gore on Saturday in Davos in a frontal attack on the science of global warming.
"I don't think that there is any global warming," said the 67-year-old liberal, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the European Union. "I don't see the statistical data for that..."
Every time I hear this man speak he makes me think of Ronald Reagan! This is the type of person that is needed to lead the conservative movement. Hey Republicans, are you paying attention!? This is how you should be talking and acting!!!Sunday, February 01, 2009
Sorry to ruin the fun, but an ice age cometh
Phil Chapman | April 23, 2008
Article from: The Australian
THE scariest photo I have seen on the internet is www.spaceweather.com, where you will find a real-time image of the sun from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, located in deep space at the equilibrium point between solar and terrestrial gravity.
What is scary about the picture is that there is only one tiny sunspot.
Disconcerting as it may be to true believers in global warming, the average temperature on Earth has remained steady or slowly declined during the past decade, despite the continued increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, and now the global temperature is falling precipitously.
All four agencies that track Earth's temperature (the Hadley Climate Research Unit in Britain, the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, the Christy group at the University of Alabama, and Remote Sensing Systems Inc in California) report that it cooled by about 0.7C in 2007. This is the fastest temperature change in the instrumental record and it puts us back where we were in 1930. If the temperature does not soon recover, we will have to conclude that global warming is over...
This isn't the only such article either. Here are some links to other such articles:
The Coming of a new Ice Age
Scientist: Forget Global Warming, Prepare for New Ice Age
Forget Global Warming: Welcome to the New Ice Age
Oldest Ice Core from the Tropics Recovered, New Ice Age Evidence
There are many more articles out there. Just do an Ask.com search and you'll find them.
At any rate, I find it hillarious that Al Gore(who flew in on a PRIVATE jet and used a huge limo for transportation) was in DC on one of the coldest and snowiest days to preach his "global warming" sermon, again. He seems to enjoy preaching a fallacy, and telling everyone else how they should live, but doesn't want to follow his own rules. BTW, I believe in worshiping THE CREATOR not creation.
