Gerard Alexander: Why are liberals so condescending? - washingtonpost.com:
Every political community includes some members who insist that their side has all the answers and that their adversaries are idiots. But American liberals, to a degree far surpassing conservatives, appear committed to the proposition that their views are correct, self-evident, and based on fact and reason, while conservative positions are not just wrong but illegitimate, ideological and unworthy of serious consideration. Indeed, all the appeals to bipartisanship notwithstanding, President Obama and other leading liberal voices have j"

American Thinker Blog: Steyn on 'unsustainable':
National Review's Jim Geraghty sums up Obama's America thus: 'Unsustainable is the new normal.' Indeed. The other day, Douglas Elmendorf, director of the Congressional Budget Office, described current deficits as 'unsustainable.' So let's make them even more so. The president tells us, with a straight face, that his grossly irresponsible profligate wastrel of a predecessor took the federal budget on an eight-year joyride, so the only way his sober, fiscally prudent successor can get things under control is to grab the throttle and crank it up to what Mel Brooks in Spaceballs (which seems the appropriate comparison) called 'Ludicrous Speed.'"

Dana Milbank - New senator Scott Brown sure gets down to Republican business:
Great. Here comes one more model prone to sudden acceleration.
Another Toyota? Actually, no. This one is Scott Brown, as of Thursday the junior senator from Massachusetts.
Brown, the surprise victor in last month's special election, had raised no objection to taking his oath of office on Feb. 11. But then conservative commentators complained that he was dilly-dallying; the Boston Herald's Howie Carr accused him on Wednesday of taking 'a three-week victory lap.'"

Google to enlist NSA to help it ward off cyberattacks:
The world's largest Internet search company and the world's most powerful electronic surveillance organization are teaming up in the name of cybersecurity.
Under an agreement that is still being finalized, the National Security Agency would help Google analyze a major corporate espionage attack that the firm said originated in China and targeted its computer networks, according to cybersecurity experts familiar with the matter. The objective is to better defend Google -- and its users -- from future attack."

Republicans say Obama loan program is first step toward TARP slush fund | The Daily Caller :
Republicans accused President Obama on Tuesday of taking a step toward using the $700 billion Wall Street bailout as a slush fund, a possibility many worried about when the Troubled Asset Relief Program was first created during the economic panic of 2008.
“Our TARP should not be a piggy bank. It was intended to stabilize the financial system. It has stabilized the financial system. As it is paid back with interest it should go to reduce the debt,” Sen. Judd Gregg, New Hampshire Republican and ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee, said in a brief interview."

Obama Budget Taxes Domestic Energy - HUMAN EVENTS:
Here we go again. The pole vault and parachutes plan for killing America’s domestic oil and gas industry reared its ugly head again yesterday in the Obama budget proposal. With the job and industry-killing cap and trade national energy tax warming a back bench during an election year -- if not riding out the entire Obama Recession -- the new budget proposal (pdf, page 4) seeks to impose nearly $40 billion in new taxes on America’s domestic oil and gas producers.
These taxes won’t simply affect large producers like Exxon/Mobil or Shell Oil companies but will sound the death knell for the small businesses that comprise the overwhelming majority of domestic energy production."

Nancy Pelosi heads for a two-track plan for health care reform - Patrick O'Connor and Carrie Budoff Brown - POLITICO.com:
With the broader health care bill still perilously close to collapse, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to take a shot at the health insurance industry next week by scheduling a vote on a smaller bill to revoke its half-century-old exemption from antitrust laws.
The vote is part of her new two-track strategy to tackle things that won’t be included in a more sweeping bill — if Congress ever passes one — while giving her members something politically popular to vote on. The move also puts pressure on Republicans, the industry and wavering Democrats, who wish their leaders would abandon the push altogether."

American Thinker Blog: Why Obama's tax incentives for small business will backfire
American Thinker Blog: Why Obama's tax incentives for small business will backfire:
President Obama proposed to give tax incentives to small businesses to hire more people. This sounds like a generally good idea, unless you happen to have any practical experience which is sorely lacking in this administration.
Suppose you are a business that has held on to valuable employees for the last year at a great financial cost. You are now supposed to compete with a startup that has preferential tax treatment because he is hiring new employees. Or perhaps you must now compete with an existing competitor that was less financially sound and thus had to lay off workers. He may now get a tax break to hire them back. You must then compete with more expensive workers than your competition. Instead of creating an incentive to hire you may have created an incentive to lay off workers."

In his State of the Union address, the President implored Congress not to 'walk away' from healthcare reform. With Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts, and growing skepticism among Americans, passage of a 'comprehensive' healthcare bill is looking less and less likely every day.
And for good reason. The House and Senate versions of healthcare reform are nearly 2,000 pages long. Some of the most expensive provisions in the bills are effectively unfunded and will indeed exacerbate our federal fiscal catastrophe."

Thanks for that post. You hit the nail on the head. As the owner of a 16 year old wholesale computer parts company with about 50 total employees here and in England, I can tell you it’s not about easy loans and tax credits for hiring.
As you say, it is risk aversion. It is the knowledge that my taxes are going to go up and also we just don’t see other businesses willing to take inventory positions right now."

Backdoor taxes to hit middle class - Yahoo! News:
NEW YORK (Reuters.com) --The Obama administration's plan to cut more than $1 trillion from the deficit over the next decade relies heavily on so-called backdoor tax increases that will result in a bigger tax bill for middle-class families.
In the 2010 budget tabled by President Barack Obama on Monday, the White House wants to let billions of dollars in tax breaks expire by the end of the year -- effectively a tax hike by stealth.
While the administration is focusing its proposal on eliminating tax breaks for individuals who earn $250,000 a year or more, middle-class families will face a slew of these backdoor increases."

How much longer do they think we'll accept this shell game? We AREN'T STUPID! We - the Small Business Owners of America drive the countries economic engine. And I, for one am wondering what the point is anymore??? It used to be to achieve success....now it's scrambling to stay alive.....what - WHAT is the point of starting or running a small business anymore?
My Way News - Obama budget would impose host of tax increases:
WASHINGTON (AP) - While President Barack Obama is proposing to cut some taxes for companies that hire workers, his budget would raise a host of other taxes on businesses and wealthy individuals.
The budget proposal released Monday would extend Obama's signature Making Work Pay tax credit - $400 for individuals, $800 for a couple filing jointly - through 2011. But it would also impose nearly $1 trillion in higher taxes on couples making more than $250,000 and individuals making more than $200,000 by not renewing tax cuts enacted under former President George W. Bush. Obama would extend Bush-era tax cuts for families and individuals making less."

Pelosi Using Air Force to Chauffer Her Kids Around? | The FOX Nation:
Using Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, Judicial Watch uncovered thousands of pages of travel documents related to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s use of military aircraft.
What hasn’t been revealed so far is that military aircraft are being used to shuttle Pelosi’s kids and grandkids between DC and San Francisco without any Congressional representatives even onboard! Put simply, the United States Air Force is serving as a multi-billion dollar chauffeur- and baby-sitting service for Nancy Pelosi’s kids and grandkids — presumably because commercial travel is beneath the families of the autocrats.

The curtain has come down on what can best be described as a brief un-American moment in our history. That moment began in the fall of 2008, with the great financial panic, and gave rise to the Barack Obama phenomenon.
The nation's faith in institutions and time-honored ways had cracked. In a little-known senator from Illinois millions of Americans came to see a savior who would deliver the nation out of its troubles. Gone was the empiricism in political life that had marked the American temper in politics. A charismatic leader had risen in a manner akin to the way politics plays out in distressed and Third World societies."

The global warming movement as we have known it is dead. Its health had been in steady decline during the last year as the once robust hopes for a strong and legally binding treaty to be agreed upon at the Copenhagen Summit faded away.

After the failure of the summit to agree to even that much, the movement went into a rapid decline."

The day after President Obama’s State of the Union, Congress went ahead and passed a $1.9 trillion — that’s right, $1.9 trillion — increase in the federal government’s debt limit. Let me tell you why this bothers me.
First, in order to avoid bankruptcy, it means future tax rates are going to have to go up. Second, Mr. Bernanke bought a lot of our debt in 2009. That brought down the dollar and hiked the gold price. So, has Washington set us up for major inflation in the years ahead?"

After 50 minutes of questioning him, the Obama administration chose, reflexively and mindlessly, to give the chatty terrorist the right to remain silent. Which he immediately did, undoubtedly denying us crucial information about al-Qaeda in Yemen, which had trained, armed, and dispatched him."

Rape in prison is a cruel invasion of a helpless victim. In addition to the physical torment and possible transmission of sexual diseases, rape reduces the victim to subhuman status -- an object for the use of others to be discarded when no longer desired. Most civilized countries sternly guard against rapes and sexual assaults in prison, although with less than complete success. Under the barbaric rule of the mullahcracy in Iran, sexual assaults have become instruments of policy for extracting false confessions, satisfying the boundless sadism and sexual perversions of the jailers, punishing the helpless victim, and leaving him with a sense of dehumanization."

The downward spiral of the Obama-Pelosi agenda is a direct result of either a terrible misreading of the American culture or a complete lack of respect for it. Na�vet�or hubris, the lesson is the same—ignore the American spirit at your own peril.
The American spirit is not a theory or just a patriotic feeling, but the unique asset of the United States—the power to produce, to grow, to overcome and thrive. Whether it is on the battlefields, a Montgomery bus, or in the boardrooms, the American spirit is the innate power gifted to all in this country. It is the anointed weapon bestowed on us all to defend liberty, fight for our livelihood, and to clear the path towards success."

As expected, Barack Obama’s 70 minute State of the Union address focused heavily on the economy and the domestic political agenda. This was hardly surprising in the aftermath of last week’s catastrophic defeat for his party in the Massachusetts special Senate election, where the Republicans scored an historic victory. American voters are turning strongly against the president’s health care reform package as well as his big government vision for the economy, which has contributed to spiraling public debt and mounting unemployment, now standing at over 10 percent."

OBAMA / DEMOCRATS LOOK AT TAKEOVER OF 401(K) IRA ACCOUNTS TO FINANCE GOVERNMENT - myFOX.
The Obama administration appears to have come up with a novel way of financing trillion-dollar budget deficits – demanding IRA and 401(k) holders buy trillions of dollars in Treasury bonds.
With the Treasury needing this year to see another $1 trillion in debt to finance the anticipated federal budget deficit, and the Federal Reserve about to discontinue its 2009 program of buying Treasury bonds for the Fed's asset portfolio, the Obama administration is scrambling to find ways to sell government debt without having to raise interest rates."

The Obama administration appears to have come up with a novel way of financing trillion-dollar budget deficits – demanding IRA and 401(k) holders buy trillions of dollars in Treasury bonds.

How does David stay on message when he's opposing Goliath? That's the Republicans' double challenge this week. Even though a Republican won the special election in Massachusetts, the Democrats are dominating the news. They are very publicly plotting a comeback after their epic loss, and the president will take center stage on Wednesday night when he gives the State of the Union speech. Where are the headlines for the party of opposition -- which is nominally Republican but which includes millions of Americans who think of themselves as independents?"

Newly minted Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell will be presenting the 'Republican Response' to President Obama's State of the Union address Wednesday evening.

American Thinker: Filibuster Under Fire:
Reflecting frustration among the Democrats over their inability to pass a health care reform bill, there has been a clamor on the left for the elimination of the filibuster rule in the Senate.
“God didn’t create the filibuster,” Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) pronounced last week. Paul Krugman, writing in the New York Times, calls the Senate “ominously dysfunctional,” due mainly in Krugman’s eyes to the sixty-vote filibuster rule. Another Times op-ed terms the filibuster “unconstitutional.”"

Hypothesis: If the Nobel Prize-winning IPCC scientists submitted their climate change research as a grade-school science fair project, it would fail miserably.

American Thinker: How Liberals Will Try to Destroy Scott Brown:
Three weeks ago, few had ever heard of Massachusetts State Senator Scott Brown. Now on his way to voting in the Senate, Brown has become a national political sensation. Pulling off the 'Massachusetts Miracle,' Brown is the new poster-boy for a GOP resurgence in 2010. But along with his sudden political fame, he will also be the newest target of liberal vitriol and vengeance. After all, he stole what was rightfully theirs -- the Democrats' absolute hold on Massachusetts' Senate delegation. He'd better be ready, as the liberal character assassins are sharpening their knives and devising strategies to discredit the amateur Senator-elect."

The best that can be said for Barack Obama’s latest plan for financial regulation – banning deposit-taking banks from proprietary trading and capping financial groups’ market share of funding – is that it shows he now sees only radical policies can crisis-proof the financial system. But the claim that these ones will increase stability is misguided, if not misleading."

My car engine light came on....Bush sent it in from Crawford.....The stupidest man alive as the liberals called him.....the smartest man to EVER walk earth if he did HALF of what the liberals accused him of.....there is no longer a devil in religion, folks......just blame GWB for every rotten aspect of your life. Take responsibility for none of it.

Imagine that you were Martha Coakley and you were a shoo-in for the United States Senate only a month ago, making you a solid vote for President Obama's health care plan. Being a Democrat in Massachusetts with a twenty-point lead over your Republican opponent, a month before Election Day means you could spend the rest of the campaign on a beach in Tahiti with a Mai Tai in your lotion-covered hand. You could sip the rum cocktail through a straw and listen to the latest favorable polls from the land of the leftists."
