I was wondering yesterday how the media would be responding to these anti-tax rallies across the country yesterday. I suggested that the leftist media would be presenting the protestors as rightwing extremist nut jobs who were motivated by greed and wanted to make sure that none of their money was ever used to help the (ugh) "less fortunate."

So, how did it turn out? Have you heard about this CNN reporter named Susan Roesgen? If you have the time and want to listen to her report from the Chicago tea-party you can click right here or watch below. If not, well ... let me tell you. This Roesgen person was, as I said, covering the Chicago rally. She picked out a rather inarticulate person from the crowd: "Ok, you're here with your 2-year-old ... why are you here today?" The protester said that he was here today because he heard the president say that he believed what Lincoln stood for and he then tried to explain Lincoln's attitude toward taxes. Rather than interviewing this guy, Roesgen started to argue with him: "Sir, what does this have to do with taxes? What does this have to do with your taxes?" Then she asked "Do you realize that you're eligible for a $400 credit ...?" At that point the man said "let me finish my point?"

Wait a minute! Read that again? This guy is protesting taxes, and this ignoranus CNN reporter asks him if he realizes that he is eligible for some type of $400 credit? What is she saying? I'll tell you what she's saying. This guy shouldn't be protesting taxes because he's going to be getting a check!

The interview proceeds. The man says that Lincoln believed that people had a right to the fruits of their own labor and that "government should not take it." Roesgen then stuck her finger in his face and said "Do you know that the state of Lincoln gets $50 billion dollars out of this stimulus, that's $50 billion dollars for this state." At this point someone in the crowd says something and the man becomes a bit frustrated. Roesgen turns away and starts talking to the anchor. Now listen to this gem from this wonderful, objective CNN reporter:

"OK, Cara, we'll move on over here. I think you get the general tenor of this. It's anti-government. Anti-CNN since this is highly promoted by the right wing conservative network Fox, and since I can't really hear much more and I think this is not really family viewing it's time to come back to you Cara."

The CNN anchor ... Cara or Kara or whatever ... then says "Wow, that is a prime example of what we're covering here. Susan pointed out everything plain and clear what she's dealing with."

Well .. there you have it. These tax protestors are "anti-government." The don't want to be taxed out of fifty percent of everything they earn .. and they're anti-government. They're also anti-CNN. Where did THAT come from? Do you know that Pew research did a poll last year and found that more Democrats and independents watch Fox News than Republicans? But to Susan Roesgen Fox is right wing and conservative.

The fact is Roesgen was saying just what the Democrats wanted her to say. Last night the Atlanta Journal-Constitution was reporting that "...critics -- especially Democrats -- have labeled the gatherings as frauds created by Republican advocacy groups with the backing of deep-pocketed lobbyists and Fox News." Yup ... these idiots at these rallies couldn't possibly have opinions of their own. They're just a creation of the Republican Party and Fox. Roesgen handled the Democrat message a little clumsily ... but handle it she did.

It was also rather odd that when Roesgen would look into the camera when she was talking about stimulus checks for Illinois. Why? Because she was making her own statement. She was the person being interviewed ... not the actual protestor. She wasn't really that interested in what this guy had to say ... she had her own opinions and she wanted to make sure they got aired.

There you have it folks. This is the way much of the liberal media will be covering the protests today. These are anti-government right-wing kooks

We had Texas Governor Rick Perry on the show recently after supporting a Texas House resolution reaffirming states' rights under the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution. Yesterday the Governor attended three tea parties around his state where he made this statement:

"There's a lot of different scenarios ... We've got a great union. There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we're a pretty independent lot to boot."

Can Texas secede from the Union? There are some who believe so. Texas, you see, became a state under the provisions of a treaty. Whatever that treaty dictates is, in effect, the law of the land. Parties to treaties dissolve their relationships all the time; who's to say Texas cannot?

Yesterday was quite a day for a lot of you who are fed up with our current levels of spending and waste. So maybe you weren't able to catch the president's reaction to the tea party protests.

Obama's response was that he had already delivered the most "progressive tax cut in history, with 95% of families getting a tax break in every pay check." Now for most of you who attended some sort of protest or rally yesterday, this explanation should infuriate you because you know the truth. You know that Barack Obama has not cut taxes for 95% of Americans. It's a calculated lie. Over 40% of those people don't pay income taxes in the first place? You know better, folks. Obama has changed the American language in many ways. He calls the war on terror an "overseas contingency operation." He calls acts of terror "man caused disasters." Now he's calling government handouts to people who do not pay income taxes "tax cuts." The media, of course, lets him get away with this. His "progressive" tax cuts are what have people up in arms to begin with - the achievers in this country are being taxed at rates that will eventually lead to a giant shrug.

By the way ... under Obama's definition our tax code is an act of terror on the American people. Nobody can deny that our tax code is a man-caused disaster. As such it is, by definition, an act of terrorism against the American people. Nice.

Obama says that Americans need a "government that is working to create jobs and opportunity for them, rather than simply giving more and more to those at the very top in the false hope that wealth will trickle down."

No, no and hell no. It is not the role of the government to create jobs for people. There is this little thing called the private sector that is far more capable of providing jobs for people. But the more you tax the small business owners and the entrepreneurs and the evil rich ... the more jobs government is going to create, because it is squeezing out the private sector! Also ... and do I really need to say this? ... the government doesn't "give" to those at the very top. Those at the very top EARN. They ACHIEVE? The government doesn't GIVE to them .. the government TAKES from them .... And then gives to those at the bottom and call it tax cuts.

Finally, Obama says, "We start from the simple premise that we should reduce the tax burden on working people, while helping Americans go to college, own a home, raise a family, start a business and save for retirement." In other words, Obama wants to reduce taxes on the middle class while providing handouts to ensure that people can do to college and own a home.

Barack Obama says that he wants to pare down the "monstrous" tax code to make it simpler for Americans to pursue the American dream. Hey, President Obama ... I've got a really ingenious, simple idea. Maybe you have heard of it? It's called the FairTax. No filing federal or state income taxes. No more IRS bureaucracy and thousands of pages of tax codes under which to comply.

What do you think my chances are of getting that one in front of the president for consideration? More likely than my chances with Angelina Jolie?

New Jersey is going to crack down on teenage drivers. New laws going into effect would require new drivers ages 21 and younger to display decals on their cars. The decals will more than likely be a small reflective triangle on the front and rear license plates to indicate that you are dealing with a young, inexperienced driver.

The decals will be used to determine if teens are violating state driving curfews and passenger restrictions. Those laws have also changed in New Jersey. While the driving curfew for teenagers was changed from 11pm to midnight, only one other teenager will be allowed in the car at one time. Also, all cell phones, even hand-free cellphones, will be banned.

Good work.
