The The Washington Examiner has an article on the Rand Paul’s filibuster and the response by the old GOP guard on the matter. The article provides that “Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., criticized Paul for posing the question. “I find the question offensive,” he said on the Senate floor this morning.”
Well Senator Graham, we, the GOP, find you offensive, and your seat is on our Tea Party radar.
is a blog posting by Neil Irwin. What is amazing is that nothing has happened since the election to warrant the sudden reality check. Where have you been for the last 4 years?
We need to destroy this government media complex. It is worse the government industrial complex because they media is suppose to inform us of the issues. However, when their paycheck revolves around those they’re covering, they’re on the take just like the 47%.
I have many friends who graduated from Ivy Leagues schools that are Obama supporters. For the life of me, I don’t understand why.
They may have majored in liberal arts, so perhaps math, economics and accounting weren’t in the curriculum they chose to study. But, at some point, you live life and understand the basics of economics. You personally suffer through debt crises where you outspend your earnings and face an insurmountable level of debt.
Why can these people not see that this is happening to our nation? They continue to buy the class rhetoric thrown around by the Democrats that taxing the rich solves all the problems. But, if they simply stopped, took out a pencil and piece of paper and did the math, they would see that the equation doesn’t work. They could take 100% of the wealth, not income but wealth (i.e. everything they own for those of you in Rio Linda), of the Forbes 400 richest people and not come close to covering the government’s current year’s deficit, much less paying down the outstanding debt. Even worse, you can only steal their wealth one time. After that, the government’s income drops because the rich no longer have the means to earn income as their wealth has been stolen.
Now, I could go on to quote Obama and his “I want to fundamentally change America” and say what he has done has in fact change America. Or, that he wrecked the economy on purpose to pursue his personal goal of getting even with American and its history and bringing America down to the Venezuela’s of the world. However, doing so only drives the other side to reject you as a cook. So, forget all of that stuff my liberal friends and focus on my challenge to you.
Show me the math. Show me how it works in a way in which our children and grandchildren will not have to pay 70%+ in taxes on their income to pay for debts we’re running up. Keep the math simple so everyone can follow along. To borrow a phrase from Dirty Harry, “Go ahead. Make my day.”
We now welcome you back to reality.
By now, everyone has heard about or seen the video of Obama parroting Elizabeth Warren’s communistic rant relating to successful people. Him saying it doesn’t really surprise me because it is what he really thinks. He was raised by communists, educated by communists and is a communist. He believes that government is the end all be all of existence.
To understand why Obama doesn’t get capitalism, one merely has to read his books and see how he was raised. As he said, he spent a lot of time smoking pot and snorting blow and didn’t have to work at Colombia or Harvard. He didn’t have to write anything to be a member of the law review. He was given so much help that he must assume that everyone gets that much. Well, we don’t.
Business owners may not have paved the roads, but there wouldn’t be a need for paving roads if it were for the needs of business. Government didn’t come first, the business did.
What has it come to with people? So, you have to tell people your gay. Does that mean you get a medal? Is there some special dispensation you receive for being gay?
The country’s in a world of hurt with a financial time bomb awaiting the future generation, and it’s “news” that Cooper is gay?
We are wasting the good fortune passed on to us by our forefathers. Instead, we have a celebrity focused media that feeds upon itself and we get stories like this.
This might be important to him, but I really don’t care. Deliver a good work product and I’ll watch you, gay or not. Don’t, and I won’t.
The Opra was successful until she decided being Black and a Barrack supporter was more important than her audiance. The samething happened the first go around with Ellen. Now, with her own show focused on what she is, funny, is successful.
We don’t care about your personal life and who you have sex with. Get it?
Glenn Reynolds said that one of his profs always said that the Constitution stops where the IRC starts.
As evidence of this, the recent Supreme Court decision on Obamacare can be read to give congress unlimited power to make citizens do anything. I’ll leave it to the scholars to decide that, but, if the Taxing power can be said to be that all encompassing due to the Court’s decision, then we need to call a constitutional convention to amend the Article 1 and limit it.
This government has exceeded its Constitutional authority and is spending/committing us to insolvency. The time has come to overthrow it.
They don’t respect us or our freedoms. They believe they are superior to us and only care about their power. Time to limit it and run all the bums out on a rail. Tar and feathering is called for. It’s time for a new Declaration of Independence day, and the 4th of July would be a great time to start.
Much was written in various legal blogs about whether Roberts changed his vote due to the political pressures. If Roberts did change his mind due to the pressures, and we find out, well, he really doesn’t know what intimidation is yet. We are the majority in this country. Go to any poll, and the majority of people self-identify as having conservative leanings. The liberals are a minority, but they control the MSM. They all believe they are so smart, and denigrate us and our beliefs.
I don’t know about you, but I’m really getting tired of this and it’s time to end it. We need to start playing the game under the rules of war. The other side is and we always try to stay above the fray.
Well, if this is Roberts’ MO, then we need a change. Let the intimidation games begin.
Why would a sitting president make such a big deal over the anniversary of the killing of a foe? Because he has nothing else.
The media is upset because the One never received a permanent bounce for the killing of Osama. Is this really a surprise?
People live in the economy not the wars we are executing. To borrow Carville’s line: It’s the economy stupid.
I be the MSM didn’t know he was talking to them.
President Obama was giving a speech to a bunch of college kids on Tuesday. He complained about the fact that the average student has $25,000 in student loans. However, you never hear him complain about the $100,000 in debt owned by the taxpayers of this country as a result of government overreach.
I’m not the president’s biggest fan, but even I have to laugh at his rediculous comments regarding his healthcare bill and the Supreme Court.
In case you missed it, at a press conference, he responded to a question regarding the case before the Supreme Court. He went on to provide reasons why the Court should hold that his legislation is constitutional. Every one of his arguments was an emotional argument, not a legal argument. And he was a constitutional law professor?
Later, he created his own definition of judicial activism. He correctly stated that conservatives hate judicial activism, but judicial activism to a conservative is not striking down a law as unconstitutional. It is creating law from the bench, i.e. Row v. Wade where the court simply made up its own rule on when life starts.
