TAX INCREASES ARE TAX CUTS (Apologies to George Orwell)

From ABC News comes this amazing quote from Chairman Obama at a DNC fundraiser where he touted his "tax cuts" and said that the recent Tea Party rallies across the nation have “amused” him.

“You would think they should be saying thank you,” the president said to applause.

The cavalier attitude of Chairman Obama toward the Tea Party movement shows his general arrogance and hostility toward US citizens that peacefully disagree with him.  The peaceful opposition by the Tea Party people is certainly in stark contrast to Barack's BFF, former domestic terrorist and fellow Marxist Bill Ayers.  

     It also shows that Obama will resort to outright misrepresentions to push his Marxist agenda.  Barry, like a typical Marxist is probably engaging in good old fashioned "doublespeak" a term commonly associated with George Orwell.  But then again, most of what Marxists stand for is based upon the lies of an ill-conceived 19th century economic and social philosophy that is in reality a cover for plutocrats.  While not filthy rich, both Marx and Engels didn't have to work for a living as they waxed philosophically.  So don't let the phony Marxist rhetoric about the common man fool you.  The most ardent modern  socialists (read Marxist) are wealthy individuals like George Soros, the Kennedys, and the Rockefellers.  They all are also control-freaks to the nth degree.

    But what's even more bothersome is where Obama pursues actions which appear to be incongruent with each other.  One day he's announcing the end of the Space Shuttle program and hinting that we'll be depending on the Russians to get our astronauts to the international space station.  

The next day Obama's pledging $6 billion to go to Mars.  Huh? Is he suffering from ADD? 

Former NASA engineer and author Homer Hickam wrote a letter to the astronauts of the Johnson Space Center, in Houston, Texas, telling them that the president's "plan means no more of you are going to fly into space except for maybe a few every year (for a little while) as passengers with the Russians. For those few of you who get to play spam in the can, we taxpayers get to pay through the nose to the tune of fifty million dollars for each seat you occupy."

Ask yourself honestly, (I know it's really tough for hardcore Lib-Commies to be honest)--especially if you're a virulent partisan Democrat--why is it more important that NASA be privitized and that health care be taken over by government?  What has been more successful in helping people,  private technology or the failed government medical systems of Canada, Great Britain, and France?  Hardcore Commies will lie and that's why Obama and his cronie communists must be driven from office.

The Tax Man Cometh...

April 15th is here and with it will come all those lame TV news stories about last minute tax filers trying to beat the midnight deadline.  Some of them are even thinking that it's cute to be a part of a news story. 

     One year, I saw a young man doing his taxes in the lobby of the local Post Office at 8:45 p.m.  The post office was scheduled to close at 9:00 p.m.  He was frantic, like most procrastinators are when they're up against a deadline.  This is where many people screw-up and either delay their refunds, omit critical information or forget to sign their tax return.

     I'm wondering if gravel-voiced Charlie Rangel or little Timmy Geithner are sweating their taxes. Probably not. Democrats never worry about their taxes. Nor do they ever suffer consequences from not filing them either or committing outright tax fraud.  But you TEA Party domestic terrorists had better file yours or else you'll find out how hard Eric Holder's AUSAs come after you.   KSM will get more legal rights than you will--and he masterminded the murder of 3,000 innocent American citizens

     I hope that you all will take a moment to take the People's Poll about government spending.  Remember this day also when you step into the voting booth and use you vote to boot the free spending America haters and indolent human chancres out of power.

Incompetence thy name is Obama

I don't know about you, but I'm really concerned for the well being of my country. The Lap Dog Media has declared Obama's nuclear summit an unqualified success. But the only thing that came out of the summit was to agree to meet again. I guess this is like the old Soviet propaganda that claimed that the Russians invented cars, the telephone, submarines, etc., ad nauseum.


A compliant unquestioning media should always be highly suspect. But these stooges have probably been promised an honored and privileged place in the future Obama's People's Republic of Amerika. Good luck because many of these dupes will eventually reside in Gitmo as subjects for re-education in the principles [sic] of Obama's Amerika. They realize all too late that they have been fooled by their personal greed and narcissism. But then they are only emulating Obama who like many Baby Boomers are the most self-centered and destructive people ever to walk the face Earth.


But how would the press have known about what Obama really "accomplished" at the summit? They weren't even there as Dana Milbank of the Washington Post wrote today. Milbank's column opened, "World leaders arriving in Washington for President Obama's Nuclear Security Summit must have felt for a moment that they had instead been transported to Soviet-era Moscow." He further described the scene in Washington D.C., as resembling "a military encampment, with camo-wearing military police in Humvees and enough Army vehicles to make it look like a May Day parade on New York Avenue."



Yes, it's just like the only knowledge that we have of Obama's reputed intelligence is from his two autobiographies. The unwillingness of these media stooges to examine ANY of Obama's sealed school and birth records is scary. But none of the Dana Milbanks of the media are unwilling to reveal any "state secrets" because the agenda of Obama is the same as the media stooges--or at least as these coffee house communists may have dreamed about while in college at their Ivy League Skools. Now they seem a bit uncomfortable with their Frankenstein creation.

Unfortunately, the rest of us have to live with this incompetence of this [Mis] Administration. Doesn't it make you sick that the people are presiding over the decline of this once mighty nation are the ones that have benefited the most from this greatest nation on Earth. If there was ever a need for the impeachment process it is NOW!!

AMERICAN INDOLENT (Doesn't Obama have enough work to do?)

You can't escape this guy Obama. He’s always on TV—the Super Bowl, MLB, The Final Four, and now American Idol (AI). It’s as if the CSI franchise expanded to CSI - Ysleta, Texas or Law & Order put out a new show, Law & Order—Flashers Special Unit. I wish this guy would jump the political shark and do some work. He seems to have an excuse to do anything but his job.

The AI show that Obama will be on is the show in which AI "gives back" (a term I wish would die along with "I want to make a difference") and donates megabucks to charities and causes.  It's the old "goodness by association" aura that Obama is seeking via his appearance on AI.  Unfortunately for Obama, not even standing next to Mother Teresa would help him.  Besides, Obama was never a generous person.  His charitable contribution only went up when he started running for President and the book royalties (laundered and disguised campaign contributions?) started rolling in. According to the New York Times some of the largest contributions went to Trinity United Church of Christ.  Its then pastor, Jeremiah Wright, was the author several inflammatory racist and anti-American statements. Obama sweated that one out even throwing Reverend Wright under the bus until after his inauguration.

* * * * *

As an aside, when it comes to going to church, Obama's excuse for not going is that he and Michelle would be too much of a distraction to the other churchgoers. So he says this is why he hasn’t found a church in Dee Cee to attend. BS, the guy would rather shoots hoops on Sunday morning than to go to church. Why not be honest about it?  A lot of us backsliders—me included—have skipped out on church more than a few times.  So what's the big deal?

* * * * *

The talent pool on AI is average this year, and putting Obama on AI won't really help things. Besides the "goodness by association" trick, another reason that Obama is going on AI is to divert attention from the intense anger seething from America over his underhanded health care plan. Today one of the poster children for Political Weasels everywhere—Bart Stupak—announced his retirement todayfrom Congress. Apparently Rep. Stupak doesn't have the "you-know-whats" to face angry voters.  They're somewhat upset over his about face in supporting ObamaCare after thumping his concave chest that he would NOT support it. The only association Americans are making is that we have politicians that don't respect the American voters' wishes. It's a good thing for Obama that AI voters won't be voting on his performance Tuesday night.

What is hate speech?

What is hate speech?  According to Answers.com, it is "Bigoted speech attacking or disparaging a social or ethnic group or a member of such a group. The article points out that the United States is unique among the judicial systems of the world in extending broad protection to such speech. Evidently, university speech codes were developed with the 1942 Supreme Court case Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire in mind. 

Chaplinsky established the "fighting words" exception to determine whether the offending speech is protected or not. The court opined that, "...as those [words] that neither contributed to the expression of ideas nor possessed any social value in the search for truth and that incited an immediate, violent response.  Sounds a lot like the old "no redeeming social value" test found in obscenity cases.  And like obscenity, fighting words are in the eye of the beholder.

Hate speech as defined by the Liberal-Fascists is a different animal. It is a tool by which they supress any opposition to their agenda.  Hate speech, therefore,  is any criticism of Obama's agenda by equating the agenda with Obama himself.  Perhaps the master stroke by the Democrats was in nominating Obama instead of Hillary Clinton for the presidency.  Yet somehow, the press handling of Obama with kid gloves smacks of racism, i.e., the soft bigotry of low expectations.  Chris Matthews epitomizes this institutionalized media bigotry.  Watch this little exchange between Matthews and his fellow Leftist media stooges, Keith "Mr. Depends" Olbermann and Rachael "Mad Dog" Maddow.

Gee, Chrissy, did you forget that Obama is half white? No, I wouldn't have expected anything less stupid from a half-wit like you.  This patronizing attitude by white Liberal-Fascists fits the definition of hate speech because it's reflective of a deep seated bigotry.  These are the most dangerous bigots because they are political sociopaths dressed in sheep's clothing.  

 

Do you really give a damn about role models?

Nike will air a TV commercial prior to the beginning of the Masters Tournament with Tiger Woods and a voice-over of his late father admonishing him about his personal problems on the eve of his return to golf.  In the retro old-school black-and-white ad, Woods looks directly and silently into the camera while a recording of his late father is heard, speaking about taking responsibility.  Earl Woods asks rhetorically,  "Did you learn anything?"  I'm getting this as secondhand hearsay so I'm relying on the PGA website for a description of the ad. 

This technology worked effectively in 2000 with Natalie Cole and her late father, Nat King Cole doing a faux duet of the classic Nat King Cole song “Unforgettable.”  But this Tiger Woods commercial isn't the same thing.  This is not a tribute to a legendary entertainer and racial trailblazer like Nat King Cole,  but is a rather cynical attempt to curry favor with pissed-off sponsors.  You will catch on to the manipulation technique if you hear cheesy piano music in the background.  Ad agencies like to use a manipulative piano music score with ads for health care providers and charities to ad pathos.

The only person to whom Woods owes an apology to is his wife.  In that same spirit, Jesse James owes an apology only to Sandra Bullock.  None of their sexual pecadillos is any of our business. Nor should we expect that people that make huge sums of money in the entertainment business owes any of us a duty to be a role model.  They are working stiffs that happen to have highly compensated and prized attributes that's all.   If you buy a product because of a celebrity's endorsement then I understand P. T. Barnum's unorthodoxically wise quotes that, “There's a sucker born every minute” and that “Without promotion something terrible happens... Nothing!”  

How Do You Justify the Assassination of an American Citizen?

According to the blog Truthout, Dennis Blair, the director of National Intelligence, admitted at a House Intelligence Committee hearing last February that the CIA can assassinate Americans abroad that are suspected of being involved in terrorism.  Blair added, "We don't target people for free speech. We target them for taking action that threatens Americans or has resulted in it."  Well, that's comforting to know.  Although to listen to the Democrats whine and lie about the "vitriol" surrounding the passage of the Health Care Deform legislation you'd think that Tea Party participants and talk radio hosts are the terrorists.

Anwar al-Awlaki is a Muslim cleric and a native born American.  Al Awlaki was born in New Mexico but is now living in Yemen.  He is believed to be the first US citizen targeted for assassination by the CIA under a counter-terrorism policy initiated by President George W. Bush and put into actual practice by the Obama regime.  

Knowing the tendency of the Obama regime to overreach their authority this move is troubling.  Why is this terrorist not being brought back to the United States to stand trial like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) and four other men accused of plotting the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks?  As quoted in the Truthout blog, Professor Jonathan Turley, (not my favorite legal scholar), said last February, "...it is one thing to kill an American in the course of a terrorist act or to prevent an imminent attack. It is quite another thing to kill someone suspected of terrorism without a trial. That would amount to the assassination of a citizen."  

If we follow the "logic" of the Napolitano report citing right wing terrorism as the biggest danger to the United States then all of us on the center right had better hire some bodyguards muy pronto.    A comment to an Opinion Focus web forum with Eugene Robinson, a Washington Post columnist, responded effectively to Robinson's attempt to smear the right as domestic terrorists.

To claim that political violence exclusively or mainly originates on the right requires record breaking levels of either cognitive dissonance or dishonesty. Did you miss yesterday's arrest of a Democratic donor who planned to kill Eric Cantor and his family? The death threats against Sarah Palin and her family? Did you fail to notice the left wing terrorists who threw cinder blocks and sandbags from overpasses at GOP convention buses? What is the political affiliation of the rioters who disrupt every G20 and IMF meeting? Where were you when SEIU thugs put Kenneth Gladney, an African American Tea Party attendee, in the hospital? I missed your condemnation of movies, plays and books fantasizing about the assassination of President Bush, and your reaction when the authors were treated to fawning NPR interviews. Your attempt to delegitimize opposition to radical left wing policies by smearing opponents as violent racists is despicable and a threat to the fundamental principles of democracy. 

Yesterday's arrest of probable nut case Charles Alan Wilson, 64, for alleged threats against Washington Senator Patty Murry for her vote in favor of Health Care is what the Liberal-Fascist Democrats have been waiting for.  They may have found their Marinus van der Lubbe and the excuse to practice open repression against all political opponents. 

THE PLAYBOY BUNNY DIED FOR OUR SINS

On the holiest day of redemption in Christianity, Catholics are confronted by the following: the Catholic Church, and in particular, the Pope is under attack by secularists for priestly molestation of their young charges.  I have heard a lot of my non-Catholic acquiantences say that the Church is hypocritical and should allow priests to marry and the problem with aberrant priests molesting their young charges will simply go away.  Maybe, but that's just as silly as buying into the equally looney spin that these aberrant priests are in  reality gay and just like their prey to be very young.

  

Nobody that is a sane human being and has a working moral compass likes any abuse of trust, be it by Catholic priests and their alter boys, public school teachers and their students, or Congressmen and their Congressional pages.  Yet the Leftist stooge press ignores the larger overall societal problem of pedophilia and focuses in on their favorite target, Christianity and in particular the Catholic Church. 

It's true that prohibition against priests marrying probably goes back to the Investiture Controversy in which a series of popes challenged the authority of European monarchies over control of appointments, i.e., investitures, of church officials such as bishops and abbots.  The land and other fiscal accotrements associated with clerical office made them valuble commodities.  

These secular officials often sold these offices via a practice known as simony not unlike POTUS Obama I, promising a congressman a judicial lifetime appointment of the Congressman's brother to a Federal Circuit Court judgeship in exchange for the "honorable" congressman's vote on healthcare deform. One of the things the Church did was to take the comercialization out of clerical office by turning the office into an instrument of the church and not a family business purchased on the open market. 

Yet, non-Catholic meddlers want to change basic church structure to suit their secular fancies.  My question to these meddlers is why not ask other religions to reconsider some of their more medieval doctrines, e.g., the subjugation of women as personal chattel or the barbaric practice of female genital mutilation?  

By the way, in my part of the world there is one local high school where there have been four instances of teacher-student pedophile abuse in the last two years.  Where's the flaming outrage fanned by the repressive radical left press?  There have also been calls by some for a Senate hearings on the pedophile priest crisis.  Well, while we're at it then let's go whole hog and investigate public school pedophile crisis or the Congressional pedophile crisis. 

Let's bring former public school teacher and  the schoolboy's favorite femme fatale Mary Kay Letourneau up before the drinking, carousing, philandering Senators.  Fat chance, inasmuch as teachers unions are the sacred cow of the Democrat controlled Congress.  I would like to see these political vermin pass their "august" judgment upon the Catholic church.  Well that's not likely, because you see these vermin politicians and secularist haters have an unfair advantage.  They can't judged because they have no standards to held to.  They are, to be frank, set-up not to fail so that they can be free to pontificate (pun intended) on the bad morals of others that oppose their secularist agenda.  (You know the story, specks in the eyes of others and logs in their own eyes. Religion is opiate of the masses... blah, blah, blah.)   Not that the victims do not deserve justice but behind much of this focused anti-Catholic furor are (1) a leftist political and social agenda and (2) greedy lawyers.  I can't think of a more unholy mix on this holy day.  Let's attack the whole problem and not just part of it.

Dems form Ante-Defamation League

 

Seeking to unify hate speech from such diverse sources as Code Pink and Media Matters, Jon Stewart (Leibovitz) and  White House Spokesmouth, Robert "Family Guy" Gibbs announced the formation of the Ante-Defamation League to coordinate preemptive dogmatic attacks on terrorist housewives, returning Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans, Pro-Lifers, Tea Party participants, or anyone that disagrees with Chairman Barack.  "Political correctness holds that Chairman Barack is infallible and we cannot allow dissent by the radical right, which incidently is the lowest form of anti-patriotism," according to Gibbs.

  MSNBC's Ed "Sergeant" Schultz Recovering from Brain Operation

One of the few known actual walking human anal orifices on Earth, Ed "Sergeant" Schultz, is recovering today from a brain operation to remove potentially malignant hemmorhoids from his backside.  The delicate operation was performed at the Slow and Chattering Clinic in New York City.   Close friend and fellow MSNBC orifice, Keith Olbermann, contributed life-giving rare Type AH negative bile to help Schultz during the 13-hour surgical procedure.  Schultz is resting comfortably while being fed intravenous doses of Preparation H®. 

Food Fascism and the Audacity of Dope (Smoking)

 Several states are now considering the legalization of marijuana so that they can tax it.  This November, Californians will go to the polls to vote on whether or not to legalize marijuana so that the Silly Solons of Sacramento can raise money for such wonderful pet programs like: How to buy a cell phone and providing health care for illegal aliens. 

Liberal-Fascist busybodies will usually justify just about any "sin tax" with homilies about America's moral imperative to help poor foreign wretches and the need to control a general population's daily agenda because the "little" fat people aren't smart enough to take care of themselves.  [NN: Never mind that the corrupt governments where illegal alien wretches come from have the ultimate responsibility for their citizens' well being.  Nor is it the American Taxpayers reponsibility to do for them what their corrupt governments won't do.  BTW, there's some really porky Liberal Democrats out there, like you Ed Schultz .  So before you Libs start pinging on the general citizenry about their weight, try losing a few lbs. yourselves.]   Liberal-Fascists love to be philanthropists with other people's money, especially if those other people are taxpayers. 

As an aside, according to Wikipedia, the origins of the slang term "joint" are as follows:

The word "joint" ultimately originated from French, where it is an adjective meaning "joined" (past participle of the verb joindre), derived in turn from Latin iunctus, past participle of iungo meaning "I join."

By 1821, "joint" had become an Anglo-Irish term for an annexe, or a side-room "joined" to a main room. By 1877, this had developed into U.S. slang for a (usually shady) "place, building, establishment", especially referring to an opium den. By 1935, "joint" was being used to refer to the hypodermic needles used to inject heroin and other drugs; this may have been influenced by the secondary meaning of "joint" in the sense of something done "in common" or shared. Its first usage in the sense of "marijuana cigarette" is dated to 1938.[citation omitted] Additional slang, or "street," terms for the word joint include "bifta", "jay", "doobie," and "fatty" (sometimes spelled "phatty").

Whatever the origins of the term "joint," financial problems for the State of California have turned dope into a potential cash crop for Sacramento's spendthrift politicians.  The Tax Foundation noted that Californians rejected spending propositions last year  by a margin of nearly 2 to 1. These propositions would have extended increases on the income, sales, and car taxes; shifted money from dedicated funds; and borrowed against lottery revenues. [NN: Hey Californicators, you're already holding on to our tax refund checks.  Don't you dare try to touch our Lotto winnings!]  The proposed taxes allegedly would have cut $6 billion off a $21 billion budget shortfall. 

The current California budget shortfall is the direct result of a decade-long unwillingness to  spend funds derived only from actual revenues.  Only Proposition 1F, which suspends pay raises for legislators, passed.  [NN: Hmm, there's a message there.]  According to a Reuters artcle about several states considering legalization of pot, the top marijuana-producing state [California] could raise $1.3 billion annually, according to the California Board of Equalization, which collects taxes.  The hook with the dope legalization is that the politicians cum drug pushers want to make money off of yet another sin tax.  Wouldn't it be a novel concept for the pol cats to spend only what is taken in from taxes?

Lest you think that these officious meddlers are only looking at legalizing pot to make money, they are also looking at junk food and soda pop taxes to raise revenues.  Well, the Food Fascists will self-righteously tell you things like the free market favors crappy food choices.   According to one study, a tax of about 18% could result in a yearly loss of 5 lbs. per person.  These same scientists also believe that U.S. government agricultural subsidies contribute to the problem.

"Sadly, we are currently subsidizing the wrong things including the product of corn, which makes the corn syrup in sweetened beverages so inexpensive."

The scientists also argue that agricultural subsidies should be used to make "healthful foods" such as locally grown vegetables, fruits and whole grains less expensive.  Why does this crap like the emphasis on locally grown foods and dictating people's diet remind me of Joe Stalin's collectivization of the Soviet agricultural production in the late 1920s.  What commissar will determine what a healthy diet is.  It probably will the same people that will be on the ObamaCare death panels.  Despite such a tax failing to be passed last year, the deaf, dumb, and dictatorial California legislature is determined to pour a "pop tax" down the financial throats of Californians.

Here's an article on the cause and effect of dope smoking and the fabled "muchies" side effect.  The author is a self described dope expert.  Anyway, knowing that no one is going to reach for a carrot stick or a V-8 when they get the munchies, the proposed taxes on marijuana and muchies (junk food) becomes yet another sinister plot by the Left to confiscate more of your hard earned money.  As we all know the word "sinister" comes from the Latin word sinistra.  According to WikiAnswers:

There are almost a half dozen English language words that include 'left' in their meaning, and that trace their origins back to the ancient, classical Latin. One example is the adjective 'sinister'. The word is defined as 'evil or suggestive of evil'. But it also has a meaning of 'leftwardness'. For the 'sinister events' on a family's heraldic shield are found on the left side. And the word 'sinister' indeed tracks back to the Old French 'sinistre', and on further to the earlier source in the Latin 'sinister', or 'left-hand'.

And this is the basic reason why Liberal Fascism and its Nanny State notions are the societal scourge that is destroying the United States from within.
