Does Preserving the Bush Tax Rates Doom Us to Massive Deficits? Nope!
Hit & Run : Reason Magazine
...So, does keeping the Bush tax rates mean that the government, which has hiked federal outlays 60 percent in constant 2010 dollars since Bill Clinton left office, will be starved for money? Not hardly. ...
Sadly, too many people in this country are economically illiterate! You DO NOT "PAY" for reduced taxes! "Massive deficits" are the product of MASSIVE SPENDING. We are not in this mess because we have not taxed people enough, we are in this mess because we (our governments, at every level) have no restraint on spending. Some of you may say, "then tell me what you would actually cut." Okay, where to begin, eliminate the Dept of Education, the Federal Reserve, the IRS (at least as it currently is structured towards pursuing individual citizens), The Dept of Homeland Security (the same could be accomplished by combining current agencies like the FBI, US Marshall's, ATF, TSA, etc. so as to eliminate redundant operations under one umbrella), heck, just go to USA.gov and look at the list of agencies and 90% of them are unnecessary and, quite frankly, unconstitutional. That's just for beginners!

...The big networks and the so-called progressive borg hive, who instantly tried to spin the lack of delays at airports over Thanksgiving as proof that the opt-out protest had failed, conveniently failed to mention the fact that major airports across the country had deliberately mothballed their naked body scanners in a crass PR ploy aimed at deflating the momentum behind the demonstration. ...
The TSA has NEVER stopped a single attack! Of course it's rather hard to do so when you are screening white, anglo-saxon, Christian people, especially elderly women, nuns, small children, and even white males the vast majority of the time. I would love to ask them to point out to me the last time someone like this either high-jacked, blew up or crashed a jet. The correct answer is, NEVER! Until they admit this (which they will never do) and start using proper police profiling techniques (which they also will never do) they will continue to be just another inept, politically correct, useless government agency.

Republicans Appear Poised to Win Big on Tuesday
Gallup
Lead in generic ballot large enough to give Republicans solid majority control of U.S. House.

I prefer Rasmussen Reports as they are typically the most accurate in their numbers and projections. I do find this to be interesting. I also think it could be an attempt to distract and over exaggerate the outcome so as to give the left the ability to save face if the wins are not this large.

British Tea Party launched by Conservative activists to challenge Coalition

At a June event in Ohio to highlight job creation, President Barack Obama proclaimed that America was in the midst of a “recovery summer”. Although it arguably elevated hope above experience, the phrase caught on among Democrats. Mr Obama was referring to the economy and the employment market. But three disappointing jobs reports later, it is the Republicans who have staged the dramatic recovery. ...

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents believe overwhelmingly that their department leadership has become so politicized as to compromise the effectiveness of ICE and the safety of American people. Their union has released a letter announcing its recent unanimous “vote of no confidence” in ICE agency heads, accusing them of “misleading the American public” regarding illegal immigration in order to further a pro-amnesty agenda. ...

Middle Class--Not the Rich or the Poor--Pay Majority of Federal Taxes, Says CBO Data

Middle-class Americans--not the rich or the poor--pay the majority of annual tax revenues taken in by the federal government, according to data released in a new Congressional Budget Office study. Households earning less than $34,300 per year, meanwhile, actually pay a negative average federal income tax rate. ...
The progressive taxation system that we use in this country is an absolute joke! It's time to repeal the 16th Amendment and institute a VAT (value added tax) or a national sales tax. This would cover EVERYONE, including the underground economy (those that get paid in cash and never report it). It would also be the fairest and most equitable system.

Yet Israel is accused of international criminality for doing precisely what John Kennedy did: impose a naval blockade to prevent a hostile state from acquiring lethal weaponry. ...

The Poem of the Statue of Liberty
The New Colossus
By Emma Lazarus, 1883
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
The beginning of the Statue of Liberty poem refers to the Colossus of Rhodes, which was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The
So, the Statue of Liberty poem refers to this new giant statue likened to the old that represented the god of light. The Statue of Liberty poem also sets itself apart from Helios in that the Mother of Exiles is more welcoming than conquering. She welcomes all castaways, misfits and homeless types dreaming of freedom.

Our polarized society increasingly ponders what would happen if American conservatives and liberals simply agreed that their differences had become irreconcilable, and redivided the nation to go their separate ways. ...

Loving libs egg Teapary Express bus
I thought the libs were the tolerant, loving, understanding, Constitution protecting members of our society?! I also thought it was supposedly we conservatives who were the violent ones making threats against those we disagree with?! Let's compare, here is ACTUAL video of real and threatened violence by the left versus the ALLEGED threats and insults supposedly hurled at Democrat members of Congress by teaparty activists. There is NO evidence that any such activities took place, despite the fact that there were hundreds of video devices filming that day, including Jesse Jackson Jr. with 2 video phones in action. There is also a multi-thousand dollar reward being offered for any such evidence. To this point, NO ONE has been able to provide it!

The ObamaCare Writedowns
The corporate damage rolls in, and Democrats are shocked! - WSJ.com
It's been a banner week for Democrats: ObamaCare passed Congress in its final form on Thursday night, and the returns are already rolling in. Yesterday AT&T announced that it will be forced to make a $1 billion writedown due solely to the health bill, in what has become a wave of such corporate losses. ...
You have to love the irony. The Democrats have been preaching to us how great ObamaCare is going to be, but when companies start publicizing the truth about how they are going to be hurt economically, they start screaming bloody murder. They then proceed to start sending out subpoenas to them calling them before Congress to threaten them for telling the the truth! This is pure intimidation by the Democrats! If these corporate presidents had any testicular fortitude, they'd tell Waxman and Stupak "SCREW YOU, WE DON'T ANSWER TO YOU!"

AT&T Joins Growing List of Firms That Say Health Care Law Will Cut Into Their Profits
AT&T is the latest and biggest company to announce the costly impact that the health care overhaul will have on its bottom line. ...
Gee, who didn't see this coming?! Oh, that's right NOBODY, at least if you PAID ATTENTION to the warnings that the ACTUAL smart people, those on the right/conservatives, were giving. Now you'll hear even more dimwitted lefties cry foul and for more laws that push us even further into socialized, single payer, health care. I normally do not want to rush through spring and summer, but I cannot wait till November 2nd!

Well, if you go by what the Founding Fathers said, it absolutely is unconstitutional. However, many of our judges clearly do not bother to look at what the founders said. They simply make it up to suit their own agenda. My hope and prayer is that this will be adjudicated properly, buy I'm not going to hold my breath, especially when we have Supreme Court justices who think foreign laws and traditions should be taken into consideration.

Is Health Care a Right?
A MINORITY VIEW
BY WALTER WILLIAMS
RELEASE: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 2010
Most politicians, and probably most Americans, see health care as a right. Thus, whether a person has the means to pay for medical services or not, he is nonetheless entitled to them. Let's ask ourselves a few questions about this vision. ...
Well, let's look at what the author of the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence had to say:
"Our tenet ever was that Congress had not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but were restrained to those specifically enumerated, and that, as it was never meant that they should provide for that welfare but by the exercise of the enumerated powers, so it could not have been meant they should raise money for purposes which the enumeration did not place under their action; consequently, that the specification of powers is a limitation of the purposes for which they may raise money. ."
-- Thomas Jefferson letter to Albert Gallatin, 1817
"They are not to do anything they please to provide for the general welfare.... [G]iving a distinct and independent power to do any act they please which may be good for the Union, would render all the preceding and subsequent enumerations of power completely useless. It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and as they sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please."
-- Thomas Jefferson
"Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government."
--James Madison
"If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one...."
-- James Madison, letter to Edmund Pendleton, January 21, 1792
James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, elaborated upon this limitation in a letter to James Robertson:
With respect to the two words "general welfare," I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators. If the words obtained so readily a place in the "Articles of Confederation," and received so little notice in their admission into the present Constitution, and retained for so long a time a silent place in both, the fairest explanation is, that the words, in the alternative of meaning nothing or meaning everything, had the former meaning taken for granted.
In 1794, when Congress appropriated $15,000 for relief of French refugees who fled from insurrection in San Domingo to Baltimore and Philadelphia, James Madison stood on the floor of the House to object saying, "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."
-- James Madison, 4 Annals of congress 179 (1794)
"Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated."
--Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Albert Gallatin, 1817
So, unless you really don't give a damn about the tennets that this country was founded upon and/or are truly pathetic and need your governmental wet-nurse/nanny, you cannot rightly support nationalized health-care or these "reforms!"

Church Fights Back After Arizona Town Bans Home Bible Study
Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com
GILBERT, Ariz. — The national Alliance Defense Fund says a town code that bars religious assemblies in private homes in the Arizona community of Gilbert is unconstitutional. ...
I am truly dumbfounded that this would happen in this country! By the way, I notice the ACLU, who claims to be the protector of the Constitution, didn't come to their aid. I'd say I'm surprised by that, but I most definitely would be lying if I did.

Who Poses the Greater Threat?
A MINORITY VIEW
BY WALTER WILLIAMS
RELEASE: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 2010
Bill Gates is the world's richest person, but what kind of power does he have over you? Can he force your kid to go to a school you do not want him to attend? Can he deny you the right to braid hair in your home for a living? It turns out that a local politician, who might deny us the right to earn a living and dictates which school our kid attends, has far greater power over our lives than any rich person. Rich people can gain power over us, but to do so, they must get permission from our elected representatives at the federal, state or local levels. For example, I might wish to purchase sugar from a Caribbean producer, but America's sugar lobby pays congressmen hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions to impose sugar import tariffs and quotas, forcing me and every other American to purchase their more expensive sugar. ...
An interesting aside, the majority of those hated "rich" people are not conservative. When you look at their voting record, they overwhelmingly vote liberal.

Bob Shallit: IRS visits Sacramento carwash in pursuit of 4 cents
Sacramento Business, Housing Market News | Sacramento Bee
... Arriving at Harv's Metro Car Wash in midtown Wednesday afternoon were two dark-suited IRS agents demanding payment of delinquent taxes. "They were deadly serious, very aggressive, very condescending," says Harv's owner, Aaron Zeff. ...
Is it any wonder people hate the IRS?! Never mind for a minute the heavy handed thuggery, think of how much of OUR tax dollars were just spent to collect 4 CENTS! Anybody that would justify these type of actions by bureaucrats within our government needs to seriously contemplate why they are living in this country, or they need to do some serious review of the Constitution and what our Founding Fathers had to say about such things. They most certainly would NOT tolerate this! To be clear, it is EXACTLY what they fought against!

'Very troubling': Chief Justice Roberts on Obama's court criticism to joint session of Congress
Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times
Democrat president criticized a court ruling during his State of the Union with justices a few feet away unable to respond. ...
I personally hope that he and the others follow Justice Thomas' lead and stop attending these shams. What the President did was absolutely inappropriate and classless. It was the act of a petulant child who didn't get his way. It was further expounded by the uncouth actions of the Democrat members of Congress who stood and jubilantly applauded while glaring at the Justices. These actions are not the actions of thoughtful and reasoned individuals. They are the actions of arrogant, condescending jerks who only know how to bully their opponents.

I would love to see him return for his senior year, but I'm realistic enough to know that, as good as he is, he'll be one of the top 2 or 3 player taken in the NBA draft. Coming back would be terrific, but would also be an enormous risk, especially considering his back injury earlier this season.

This is awfully interesting considering they keep telling us what a great job they are doing with the economy and job creation.

It is populated with career bureaucrats and social engineering theoreticians. This starts at the top with a man who has about a 30 second career at a private law firm before becoming a community agitator.

As someone who has worked in law enforcement and plans to do so again, I am greatly offended by a fellow officer making such an uneducated and, clearly, stupid statement! A LAW ABIDING citizen carrying concealed or openly is not someone that I fear any harm from. The "turds" that he referenced are the ones that must be carefully watched. They are the ones that are going to try to hide in the dark crevasses and run whenever the light is shone upon them!

He could have been the best runningback in the HISTORY of Ohio State. He had THAT MUCH talent. The problem, he had losers and leaches around him and he listened to them instead of coach Tressel. He was the classic case of an athlete with a million dollar body and ten cent brain!

Danica makes it official
Racing news - newsjournalonline.com
Brace yourself.
Danica Patrick, Round 2.
Yes, the feisty female driver from open-wheel racing enjoyed the stock-car experience so much that she decided to hang around another week at Daytona International Speedway. ...
I have REALLY grown weary of NASCAR and it's over blown hype machine! I am sick and tired of openwheel drivers feeling like they have to "jump up" to that level. Openwheel racing has, BY FAR, the best and most extensive driving requirements of ANY US based racing series, and at it's present level, I think it's better than F1. As I repeat on a regular basis, REAL RACE CAR DRIVERS DON'T NEED FENDERS OR A ROOF!!!
Versus: 'Not optimistic' DirecTV deal in place by playoffs
Puck Daddy - NHL Blog - Yahoo! Sports
Every week, we receive pleas from puckheads with DirecTV who are angry about missing NHL hockey because the satellite provider yanked the Versus network off its airwaves in September 2009. ...
I'm not so much worried about NHL coverage as I am the fact that Versus carries IndyCar. Being a DirecTV subscriber and having done some research into the subject, I put the blame on Versus (who just happens to be owned by Comcast, the largest cable provider in the country and DirecTV's biggest competetor) for the mess. Comcast is trying to damage DirecTV. All I can say is CABLE SUCKS! The only way I will EVER have cable again is if I have no other alternative.

Taxpayers pay $101,000 for Pelosi's in-flight 'food, booze'
Worldnetdaily.com
Part of the tab for alcoholic drinks on a congressional trip arranged by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi It reads like a dream order for some wild frat party: Maker's Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E J brandy...
I don't believe in re-incarnation, but if there ever was a case for it I'd point to Ms Pelosi as the re-incarnation of Marie Antoinette. She truly has an arrogant, elitist, "let them eat cake" mind-set!

Justice Dept.: President Obama's administration may take action on BCS
NCAA Football - SI.com
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration is considering several steps that would review the legality of the controversial Bowl Championship Series, the Justice Department said in a letter Friday to a senator who had asked for an antitrust review. ...
Well, it would seem that the President and I have at least 1 belief in common, the FACT that DI-A college football needs to have a playoff system. If every other level of football (in this case, especially every other level of college football) can have a playoff, then so can DI-A! Oh, and if focusing on this diverts a bit of attention away from his otherwise socialist agenda, then all the better.

Coach gets Final Four tickets after half-court shot foils prank
USATODAY.com
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Joel Branstrom figured he was about to be the butt of some kind of joke when he was blindfolded at a pep rally and told he would win tickets to the NCAA's Final Four if he could hit a half-court shot. ...
This is quite simply jaw-dropping!!!
Tim Tebow, mom team up for pro-life Super Bowl ad
Christian Examiner Headline News
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Focus on the Family's Super Bowl ad featuring Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mother Pam won't air until Feb. 7, but it's already created plenty of buzz and even controversy. ...
Here's a little history lesson about Planned Parenthood and it's founder. Margaret Sanger, who founded the "American Birth Control League," which later became know as PLANNED PARENTHOOD was a believer in EUGENICS, believing in the use of "birth control" or in the most prominent case, abortion to further the "improvement" of the human race. Adolf Hitler got the idea for his "master race" from Ms. Sanger and eugenics. Eugenics is, "the study of or belief in the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a human population, esp. by such means as discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable undesirable traits (negative eugenics) or encouraging reproduction by persons presumed to have inheritable desirable traits (positive eugenics)." -- Dictionary.com. These "undesirable/negative traits" include Semitic and negri/BLACK racial characteristics or blood lines, as well as birth defects such as down syndrome. Knowing this, I find it astounding that many of the women speaking out against this ad in a prominent way (see O'Reilly, FoxNews and various other news reports on the subject, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, & pMSNBC) are BLACK or of Semitic decent. For any such person to put their support behind a group and a practice based on such a believe/philosophy is simply stupefying!

Blackguards – Media and ‘Justice'
Gang Up on Blackwater
Indictments by the Justice Department against five former security guards for Xe, the private-security firm and military contractor formerly known as Blackwater, were recently jettisoned by a D.C. district ...
I love this! The charges and trial were purely political and an effort to appease the radical anti-war left who does nothing but blame this country for all the worlds problems.
