 WE NEED TO KEEP COUNT HERE
How many times in the last two years have you heard Democrats propose some
new spending program ... and then tell everyone that they can fund the program by
simply raising taxes on "millionaires" or the "top 1% of taxpayers."
I really wish I had been making a list of "tax the rich" proposals made by
the Democrats. I think that by now we would be up to about six or seven such
propels with an effective surcharge of 6 to 7% on all people earning over a
certain figure.
Now never mind that the very people that the Democrats love to raise taxes on
are the people who provide most of our jobs. Though they may be the heart of
America's small business owners, it's still easy to demagogue them as simply
being "rich." Democrats love this stuff ... and that's the whole point.
We'll rant a bit about this on the show today. Isn't it nice to have
something to look forward to?
THE MESSIAH "UNDERSTANDS" HAMAS
I touched on this briefly on the program yesterday.
Barack Obama says that he understands why top Hamas advisers support him for
president. Isn't that sweet? He says, "It's conceivable that there are
those in the Arab world who say to themselves, 'This is a guy who spent some
time in the Muslim world, has a middle name of Hussein and appears more worldly
and has called for talks with people, and so he's not going to be engaging in
the same sort of cowboy diplomacy as George Bush."
My translation? Horsesqueeze.
Are we really to believe that Hamas would endorse a candidate for the US
presidency based on the fact that he has spent some time in the Muslim world?
Not exactly. Muslim terrorists and radicals will endorse and support Barack
Obama because they know he will not be a bother to them. He will not stand up
to Islamic extremism. This is a guy who wants talk, not action. They
absolutely love talk, Muslims have managed to become about 25% of the
population of Europe while all this talking is going on. When people are just
sitting around talking it leaves radical Muslims free to act. You talk. We'll
act.
There's more Obamanation news out there. Now we read that
Obama referred to Israel as a "constant sore" that infects all of our
foreign policy. Well, that certainly ought to really bring on the support from
Jewish voters.
OBAMA'S SUPPORT ... IN PALESTINE
Al-Jazeera has produced a report showing Palestinians in Gaza campaigning for
Barack Obama. In fact, not only are they campaigning but they are
working at a phone bank, calling people in America to ask them to vote for
Obama. One of the pro-Obama Palestinian organizers says that he is voting
for Barack Obama because he studied his campaign manifesto and thought that he
was a man capable of change.
Change? Well, if we stopped fighting Islamic radicalism ... that would be a
change, wouldn't it? That would be change that Muslims can believe in.
CHANGE YOU DESERVE
As if the Democrat and Republican parties weren't similar enough ... the
Republicans have decided to jump on the "change" bandwagon as well. They must
have done some focus group testing recently and found out the same thing that
the Democrats found out long ago: people like the word "change." It's true.
They get these little groups together and flash different words in front of
them. The one word that has everybody's boxers in a bunch lately is the word
"change." Change we can believe in!
Well the Republicans have now adopted their own change slogan. In a memo to
Republican members, leadership hinted that they needed a change message because
it has already shown to hit home with the unhappy public.
The chosen slogan is ... change you deserve.
Ok, take a look at the slogan one more time. What is the key word in that
phrase? Deserve. Now you can play around with the definition of "deserve" all
you want ... but you can essentially interpret the word to mean worthy of
something. Now I'm sure you know where I am going with this.
Yeah .. I want change. And its change I think I richly deserve. I deserve
to be left alone by government. I'm not doing anything to deny any other person
their rights ... so by what rights does the government control and manipulate my
life to this extent? I deserve to keep more of what I earn. I most certainly
don't deserve to be forced into indentured servitude to take care of the needs
of others who are too damned lazy to take care of their own lives and families.
It t turns out that the slogan actually comes from an antidepressant drug.
The Democrats have already been quick to jump on that one saying that it
reflects the Republican mood at the moment. They're half-right. It actually
should reflect the mood of Democrats and Republicans, because what do we really
have to look forward to? Just more government .. more taxes .. and less
freedom.
PUTIN THE PUPPET MASTER
If I were John McCain or Barack Obama, I think I might want to carry a Geiger
counter around with me. That's because Dmitry Mednedev might be Russia's new
president,
but Vladimir Putin is still running the show. In fact, when Putin showed up
at the Kremlin the other day to propose the names of his new ministers, Putin
sat down in his customary seat ... the one for the President. Might sound silly,
but it is just a subtle display of how we are being played like fools.
Putin went to sit down and said to Medvedev, "Now this is your place." Then
Medvedev looked at Putin and said "Oh, what's the difference?" Now all the
analysts and media are buzzing ... "look Putin is still in power." Gee, ya think?
RECYCLING NUT JOBS
Coming to an American city near you ... a city council in Great Britain refused
to collect garbage from a 95-year-old war veteran who is almost blind
because he put a ketchup bottle in the wrong bin. Talk about government
stupidity, folks.
Lenny Ward has lived in the same house for 58 years. Now the local
government has imposed these new rigid recycling rules. You see, the blue bins
are for cans and cardboard and the green box is for glass and the black bin is
for other stuff. Well Lenny made the mistake of putting the ketchup bottle and
a coffee jar in the blue bin (when they really should have gone in the green
box). Blasphemy. When a local government worker came by to inspect the blue
bin, he refused to empty it. He then attached a tag to it, which is part of an
intricately designed system to punish residents who fail to properly follow the
system. The tag attached warned Lenny not to break the rules again.
So what does happen if you fail to properly adhere to the system? Try a
criminal record and a fine. All thanks to environmental nut jobs on a
government power trip.
READING ASSIGNMENTS
The Senate voted yesterday to
stop the shipment of oil to the strategic petroleum reserve. Just a
mindless feel-good gesture. Exactly what you would expect from these people.
Barack Obama campaign volunteers are
already crying "racism." This is just a beginning.
That leads to
this great article by Rich Lowry about the Obama rules ... the campaign has
managed to succeed in imposing their rules on the race.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin endorsed Barack Obama because he essentially
says we desperately need change we can believe in. New Orleans needed to change
mayors. They didn't. What happens to them now is their own stupid fault.
Reports are now saying that Hillary is staying in the race
only so she can raise large amounts of money to pay off her debt Here's
three bucks, Hillary. Now go away.
Here's irony. The Hillary Clinton campaign is pointing out media bias in
favor of Barack Obama ... but says that
FoxNews has been one of the more responsible sources for news on the
campaign.
A special House committee is
beginning investigations into the "stolen vote" that occurred back in August
2007.
Do you remember the foiled plot of eight British Muslims to set off bombs on
airplanes from Heathrow to the US?
Take a look at the damage they could have caused. Also .. take a look at
these Islamic goons. The face of the enemy.
I'm constantly saying that politicians (particularly Democrats) are doing
nothing more than pandering to the dumbmasses.
Thomas Sowell has some insight into those issues that are "too complex."
The military is toying with the idea of awarding Purple Hearts
to veterans suffering with psychological wounds, not just physical ones.
The Senate approved a bill that would give all police, firefighters and other
first responders
the right to collective bargaining.
Some poor Hill staffers had the privilege of asking all 97 Senators who are
not running for president whether or not they would accept the nomination for
Vice President.
Here are all 97 responses.
The Unions are setting up funds
to hold candidates accountable if they don't make good on their
worker-friendly promises.
A Canadian government official wants to propose
a fitness tax credit to encourage healthier living.
Airlines are expecting
fewer passengers this summer ... so they've decided to fly less planes to cut
down on fuel costs.
University of Colorado at Boulder plans to raise $9 million to create the
nation's first
Professor of Conservative Thought and Policy. Now Rush can retire.
Texas pastor John Hagee who endorsed John McCain is now
apologizing for offending Catholics ... that isn't that hard to do considering
how thin-skinned they tend to be.
The ACLU claims that
membership has doubled ... all thanks to George W. Bush.
