A few caveats up front about this entry. First, we are a year away from the 2012 general election, so a lot can and will change between now and then. We have not had a head-to-head debate between candidates let alone a Republican nominee. Second, we can surmise and hope and pray all sorts of things about who we wish the candidate should be for | Read More »
As expected, the Obama Administration is foot dragging on what should be a no brainer. But for all the alleged expertise and brain power in his Administration- most of it theoretical, not real world- it was to be expected. At issue is the Keystone XL pipeline that would connect the oil fields of northern Canada with refineries in Texas and the Gulf Coast. As it | Read More »
It is increasingly diificult to ascertain the true goals of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement. Comparisons have been made to the Tea Party. As best I can now tell, the whole thing was basically instigated by a renegade Canadian advertising company that extols and anti-consumerism agenda who previous claim to fame was a campaign called “Turn Your TV Off” Day. Regardless, the protests are | Read More »
So according to Barack Obama, the Republican jobs plan seeks to create dirty air, dirty water, and no health care for the population. Yes, and it also encourages those evil railroad companies to put Grandma out of her house, the oil companies to rape the land and God knows what else evil it shall wrought. His plan, on the other hand, is designed to save | Read More »
Excuse my ignorance, but this Occupy Wall Street phenomena is perplexing me on a certain level. Specifically, after researching how this whole thing got started and the resulting airplay on the news every day now, it would appear there is this well spring of lame Stream Media support- almost sympathy- for this movement. If this is a protest against corporate America or banks or the | Read More »
Thirteen months out with no primaries, caucuses, or conventions or even set candidates and it would appear that, assuming the Republicans don’t shoot themselves in their feet in certain states, the Senate will fall to Republican control. Of course, it will not be filibuster-proof unless this is a repudiation of Democrats and Obama so deep that it essentially destroys the party for years. It will | Read More »
One inevitable sideshow that has been gaining some traction in the Liberal blogosphere and Lame Stream Media are some recent articles about voter ID laws. Most of this is being fanned by a report from the Brennan Center for Justice, itself hardly a bipartisan, independent voice. Their latest “study” states that because of recent laws enacted by states, close to 5 million Americans may be | Read More »
On September 8th and September 15th, my favorite liberal, Democratic moonbat, Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, had two “Go Obama” press releases that basically said the same thing about his American Jobs Act, otherwise known as Stimulus II, or Special Interest Payoff (insert number here). Without getting into the “soak the rich” rhetoric and double counting of savings from the wind down of wars in Iraq | Read More »
So let me see if I can get this Barack Obama arithmetic down. If someone makes between $34,000 and $50,000, they pay an effective Federal tax of 14.3%, but if one is in the top 5% of earners in household income, the effective Federal tax rate is 27.9% And for those “millionaires and billionaires,” the effective rate is 32%. But according to the Obamatrons, when | Read More »
So tonight, Barack Obama will deliver a major speech to Congress and the American people about jobs. From what the media says, we can expect a $300 billion stimulus-like program. Among the ideas are an extension of the employee payroll tax cuts and a new one for employers. I am all for cutting taxes, hence so far so good. But even still, the proposed employer | Read More »
