Obama Attacks Ryan Budget in Associated Press Speech

In what was seemingly an attempt to criticize House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) FY2013 budget plan — the only such proposal to emerge from either the House or the Senate — the President dredged up his stale complaints about President George W. Bush’s policies — many of which he has maintained — and turned to scary rhetoric about Trojan horses and social Darwinism in order to paint the conservative vision for fixing America’s budget crisis as a radical one.

The Vetting - Obama's War on Catholic Church Began at His First Job

This was a crucial, formative time for the young Obama. It was during these years that Barack Obama, “community organizer,” forged his identity and the relationships that would bring him to the White House. And he did so hand-in-hand with the radical Catholic left in Chicago.

The President's Speech Distorts the Truth to Distract From His Failed Record

The President's attacks began with an admission that his assumptions reflect White House spin, not our budget's substance: “I want to go through what it would mean for our country if these cuts were to be spread out evenly." Of course, the assumption that our budget makes these kinds of indiscriminate cuts is false. The House Budget Committee made dozens of specific assumptions to justify our numbers, and we made these assumptions public in the hundreds of pages of text we posted in plain view on the House Budget Committee’s website. It’s not a “secret plan” to “never tell us where the knife may fall” – it is a specific plan to cut waste, eliminate programs that don’t work, end crony politics, and carefully prioritize hardworking taxpayers’ money in precisely the way leaders of the President’s party have refused to do for over three years. In a related vein, does this new standard allow for analyses of the President’s budget to go through what it would mean for the country if the President’s $2 trillion tax increase were to be spread out evenly?

Doctors call for end to five cancer tests, treatments ....

Not that I don't think the medical industry needs some changes....but....yup....Sarah Palin was right....

In a move that threatens to further inflame concerns about the rationing of medical care, the nation's leading association of cancer physicians issued a list on Wednesday of five common tests and treatments that doctors should stop offering to cancer patients.

The list emerged from a two-year effort, similar to a project other medical specialties are undertaking, to identify procedures that do not help patients live longer or better or that may even be harmful, yet are routinely prescribed.

United States Has Highest Corporate Tax Rate in the World.....swell...........

There aren’t many American-owned companies more iconic than Anheuser-Busch, the famous producer of Budweiser beer based in St. Louis, Missouri. That was true up until 2008, when the Brazilian-Belgian company InBev executed a hostile takeover of the historic brewer, leading to layoffs of more than 1,800 workers. Unfortunately, conditions in the United States are growing ripe for even more takeovers like these to occur, especially now that the nation’s corporate tax rate is officially the highest in the world.

Jeffrey Scott Shapiro is on a mission to rehabilitate George W. Bush's reputation. - Slate Magazine

Considering so much of what was said were outright lies and fabrications...this is NICE!

Jeffrey Scott Shapiro talks about George W. Bush the way Buddhists talk about the Dalai Lama. "He stands for truth, compassion and freedom," he says. "Bush instinctively sees the global picture that every living person has the right to be free." It's hardly surprising, then, that Shapiro founded Honor Freedom, an organization devoted to restoring Bush's reputation. And Shapiro may actually succeed—especially since Bush, too, will be working on the same project, if not the same organizatio

Look Who's Jet-Setting on the Taxpayer Dime This Week .....

Look Who's Jet-Setting on the Taxpayer Dime This Week | FreedomConnector

A nation arms itself -- for what? .....

According to Sen. Rand Paul, the U.N. "Small Arms Treaty" will almost surely mandate tougher licensing requirements to own a gun, require the confiscation and destruction of unauthorized civilian firearms, call for a ban on the trade, sale and private ownership of semi-automatic weapons, and create an international gun registry.

No more Colt .45s in the top drawer or M-1 rifles in the closet.

Memo to the U.N.: Lots of luck.

Uncle Obama on the roads again .....

And yet....we had a kid once working for us who had a DUI years in his past who STILL couldn't get one to help him work and support his family....

Maybe it was because he wasn't "Illegal"...!?! Of course!

As Martha ( Marsha ) Coakley so eloquently put it..."It's not illegal to be illegal in Massachusetts"....

Just a week after he copped a plea in a drunken-driving rap, President Obama’s illegal-alien uncle has landed a hardship driver’s license from the Registry of Motor Vehicles, making it perfectly legal for him to drive in Massachusetts — even though the feds say he doesn’t belong here.

Obama biggest recipient of BP cash - Erika Lovley - POLITICO.com

And remember....every time he wants to take the "focus" off another failed plan of his Administration...he blames and chastises Big Oil.....He hates them til he needs them..... very John Kerry-esk....

While the BP oil geyser pumps millions of gallons of petroleum into the Gulf of Mexico, President Barack Obama and members of Congress may have to answer for the millions in campaign contributions they’ve taken from the oil and gas giant over the years.

Combative Obama warns Supreme Court on health law.....

Amazing....this President just steps on the Constitution and it's reason for being each day!

US President Barack Obama on Monday challenged the "unelected" Supreme Court not to take the "extraordinary" and "unprecedented" step of overturning his landmark health reform law.

Though Obama said he was confident the court would uphold the law, the centerpiece of his political legacy, he appeared to be previewing campaign trail arguments should the nine justices strike the legislation down.

Obamacare Adds $17 Trillion to Long-Term Unfunded Government Spending

Last week, the Senate Budget Committee Republican staff released a report revealing that, over the next 75 years, Obamacare will add an additional $17 trillion in unfunded obligations—i.e., the benefits promised by the federal government that haven’t yet been paid for.

The Invincible Dogma - Thomas Sowell ......

The problem....Plan (?) is that so many things are happening on so many Fronts...you actually MEGO. "My eyes glaze over" - because there aren't enough hours in the day to fight back....but there are. NEVER, EVER give up!? It's their PLAN.....

A long-standing legal charade was played out again recently, when Federal Express paid $3 million to settle an employment discrimination case brought by the U.S. Department of Labor.

Federal Express was accused of both racial discrimination and sex discrimination. FedEx denied it.

ABC News was wrong about George Zimmerman’s injuries.....

On the heels of the revelation that NBC News edited the tape of George Zimmerman’s 911 call to portray him as saying something he didn’t, here’s the latest from our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters in the media:

Matt Lauer To Palin: "Are You Reading Some Newspapers?" ......arrogant ass......

He is such a ass. Thinks so very much of himself....

Matt Lauer, "Today" co-host: "Well, we did read a tweet you sent out that said, 'Going to go rogue and infiltrate some turf.' What exactly does that mean?"

Sarah Palin: "What do you think it means?"

Lauer: "What are you doing to prepare? Are you reading some newspapers?"

Palin: "Oh! Great. That's a fine 'how do you do?' That's a great start, here we go."

Bill Ayers: ‘I Get Up Every Morning and Think…Today I‘m Going to End Capitalism’.....

Radical left-wing activist Bill Ayers apparently stopped by Occupy Union Square in New York City on Friday and shared a little bit of what gets him going each day: Ending capitalism.

"I get up every morning and think, today I'm going to make a difference," Ayers said in a video clip posted online. "Today I'm going to end capitalism. Today I'm going to make a revolution. I go to bed every night disappointed but I'm back to work tomorrow, and that's the only way you can do it."

Top Obama campaign donor accused of fraud .....

A major donor to President Barack Obama has been accused of defrauding a businessman and impersonating a bank official, creating new headaches for Obama's re-election campaign as it deals with the questionable history of another top supporter.

The New York donor, Abake Assongba, and her husband contributed more than $50,000 to Obama's re-election effort this year, federal records show. But Assongba is also fending off a civil court case in Florida, where she's accused of thieving more than $650,000 to help build a multimillion-dollar home in the state — a charge her husband denies.

Obama's Alinsky Strategy: Who's Next?......

But Aliyah's story received very little coverage, despite the event being more recent than the Martin tragedy, and despite the fact that it happened in President Barack Obama’s very own Chicago on a weekend when 49 people were shot and 10 others were killed.

No mention of Aliyah from the president. No public outpouring for a young mother who sat untangling her daughter’s hair as shots rang out. Nothing. And yet...

“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.”

A Post-Racial Lynch Mob - Ann Coulter ......

Even after the Duke lacrosse case, Texaco executives allegedly using the N-word in private meetings -- which turned out to be "St. Nicholas" -- the Tawana Brawley case, not to mention virtual hailstorms of racist graffiti and nooses materializing on college campuses, all of which invariably end up having been put there by the alleged victims, the Non-Fox Media (NFM) didn't even pause before conjuring a racist plot in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida last month.

The GOP's Health-Care Eeyores....

 "Good morning, Pooh Bear," said Eeyore gloomily. "If it is
a good morning," he said. "Which I doubt," said he.

–"Winnie the Pooh"

Conservatives are meant to be optimists, yet by the mutterings attending this week's Supreme Court drama, more than a few have been eating thistles with one depressive, gray donkey. To listen to this troop, the worst thing that might happen in this election season is for the court to . . . wait for it . . . kill ObamaCare.

Not-So-Smooth Operator......

Something's happening to President Obama's relationship with those who are inclined not to like his policies. They are now inclined not to like him. His supporters would say, "Nothing new there," but actually I think there is. I'm referring to the broad, stable, nonradical, non-birther right. Among them the level of dislike for the president has ratcheted up sharply the past few months.

It's not due to the election, and it's not because the Republican candidates are so compelling and making such brilliant cases against him. That, actually, isn't happening.

Private Aid Will Help Chicago With $7 Billion Plan ......

 What a deal....just what.....$200/M per................

Mayor Rahm Emanuel is planning to announce the initiative Thursday. It includes projects to expand the city’s largest airport and improve its streets, water system, schools, community colleges, parks and commuter rail network. The city estimates that these initiatives will create 30,000 jobs over the next three years.

SEIU Protesters paid cash by Union to be there..............

Happy your Union Dues are paying for this?

Video footage obtained by The Daily Caller appears to show a group of women dressed in purple Service Employees International Union-branded clothing, discussing how much they were paid to attend a March 27 protest outside the Supreme Court. The video first appeared online Wednesday.

The SEIU-affiliated women were leaving a protest in support of President Obama’s health care overhaul law. Walking past a camera, they discussed where they planned to eat lunch and how they would pay for it:

Second Trayvon Martin Twitter Feed ......

The Daily Caller has identified a second Twitter handle that was used by the late Trayvon Martin during the last weeks of 2011. Tweeting in December under the name “T33ZY TAUGHT M3,” Martin sent a message that read, “Plzz shoot da #mf dat lied 2 u!”

Ginsburg To Egyptians: I Wouldn't Use U.S. Constitution As A Model.....

And this person sits on the bench with the ultimate responsibility to defend the Constitution....

"I would not look to the U.S. Constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012," Ginsburg said in an interview on Al Hayat television last Wednesday. "I might look at the constitution of South Africa. That was a deliberate attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights, have an independent judiciary. It really is, I think, a great piece of work that was done."

Parents of murdered British students criticise Barack Obama.....

Ha...Hypocrisy Howler if there ever was one.............

The parents of two British students murdered in Florida have criticised President Barack Obama for his lack of compassion over their son's deaths.

Still the Alinsky Playbook.....

What exactly are the connections between Obama and Saul Alinsky’s thought? In 1985, the 24-year-old Obama answered a want ad from the Calumet Community Religious Conference, run by Alinsky’s Chicago disciples. Obama was profoundly influenced by his years as a community organizer in Chicago, even if he ultimately rejected Alinsky’s disdain for electoral politics and, like Hillary Clinton, chose to work within the system.

GOP-run House easily rejects Obama budget ......

Republicans said Democrats were afraid to vote for Obama's proposed tax increases and extra spending for energy and welfare. Democrats said Republicans had forced a vote on a version of Obama's budget that contained only its numbers, not the policies he would use to achieve them.

The vote was 414-0.

Action in Character .....

Act of Valor, a movie with no major stars made for $12 million, shocked everyone in Hollywood by earning $24.5 million its first weekend. Why? Simple. It advertises itself as “starring active duty Navy SEALs,” and the commercials make it look like a full-length version of one of those action-packed military recruitment commercials that run during football games. Sometimes there is truth in advertising, because that’s exactly what Act of Valor is, for good and ill. Come on; who wouldn’t want to give it a shot?

Breitbart’s Last Laugh.....

Yet another example of the Left's "Civility"...

I woke up this morning to about ten emails from journalist friends asking if our mutual friend, Andrew Breitbart, was really dead. “Really” was the operative word. Some meant it in the traditional sense: Is it possible for the human inferno that Breitbart resembled to have actually been extinguished at age 43, leaving his elegant wife Susie and his four beloved children behind? Several, however, meant it as in: Is Andrew really dead? Many of us didn’t know if we could trust the announcement, thinking this could be another Breitbart caper, as he always had two or three in his back pocket.

Pravda on Mitt Romney: 'Out-Of-Touch, Out-Of-Date, Unelectable' ........

Obviously....Pravda didn't get President Obama's pesky "Civility" memo......I read this and burst out laughing.....Mitt Romney? Wow....a tad over the top I'd say....Is this what a Russian Hissie Fit looks like? And if I were the President...not an endorsement I would embrace.

So, in an op-ed today posted on Pravda's website, the infamous former Soviet newspaper writes, "Electing Mitt Romney as the next President of the United States of America would be like appointing a serial paedophile as a kindergarten teacher, a rapist as a janitor at a girls' dormitory or a psychopath with a fixation on knives as a kitchen hand. His comments on Russia are a puerile attempt at making the grand stage and boy, did he blow it..."

Limbaugh sees heat over comments turn down to a simmer.......

I knew this to be true because I watched behind the scenes to see what advertisers where running with their tails between their legs. I have left those companies ( many of which I'd done business with for years ) and sent messages on to others regarding their politically correct nonsense. The pendulum swings both ways. However....would you know this from the Drive By media's hysterical headlines?

Limbaugh’s advertising losses may have been less than media accounts suggested. While more than 100 advertisers told Premiere that they didn’t want to be associated with “controversial” radio programs of any kind in the wake of the flap, some of these companies weren’t regular Limbaugh sponsors in the first place.

Carusone said most of the advertiser exodus over the past month appeared to be among companies whose ads aired only in regional or local markets, he said.

Obama gaffe hints at hidden agenda in second term.....

 "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it's important for him to give me space," Obama said.

"Yeah, I understand, I understand your message about space. Space for you," the Russian replied.

"This is my last election," Obama said. "After my election, I have more flexibility."

"I understand," Medvedev said. "I will transmit this information to Vladimir."

IRS seeks 4,000 agents, $303 million for Obamacare......

Funny....I thought it was HEALTH Care....not a government revenue stream...... 

The Internal Revenue Service wants to add about 4,000 agents to hunt down tax cheats and still plans to spend $303 million building a system to oversee Obamacare even though its future looks bleak in the U.S. Supreme Court.

A new Government Accountability Office review of the IRS 2012 tax return season and the taxman’s fiscal 2013 budget request also found that the agency’s customer service rating has slipped and 5.5 million returns were delayed a week because of a computer programming glitch.

Global Warming Models Are Wrong Again......

During a fundraiser in Atlanta earlier this month, President Obama is reported to have said: "It gets you a little nervous about what is happening to global temperatures. When it is 75 degrees in Chicago in the beginning of March, you start thinking. On the other hand, I really have enjoyed nice weather."

Trayvon Martin shooting: Wrong address for George Zimmerman on Twitter leaves elderly couple fearing for their safety .....

WHO is going to hold Spike Lee accountable???? WHO? Stop this!!!!

A school-cafeteria lunch lady and her husband have received hate mail, unwanted visits from reporters and fearful inquiries from neighbors — all because their Sanford-area address is being disseminated on Twitter as belonging to Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman, her son said late Tuesday.

The woman, 70, who has a heart condition, and her husband, 72, have temporarily moved to a hotel to avoid the spotlight and possible danger, said son Chip Humble of Longwood.

UNC Chapel Hill Bars Radio Station From Mentioning Its Sports Program During Limbaugh’s Show......

This isn't AT ALL about Rush. Look at all the insanity that has been said in the past few days about Florida....you NAME it. The vitriol is astounding. This is a DIRECT assault on Freedom of Speech!

 

First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has asked a local radio station known as “Rush Radio” to stop mentioning both the school and its Tar Heels sports program during the broadcast of Rush Limbaugh’s talk show, the North Carolina News and Observer reported.

We're talking about: legislation that would force businesses to offer paid sick days

Let's just make it COMPLETELY impossible to do business in Massachusetts!

Supporters of a bill that would force businesses to offer paid sick days held a rally held on Beacon Hill Tuesday. While there are many supporters, there are also many opposing the bill. FOX 25 spoke with Senator Dan Wolf and business owner Bill Vernon to get both sides of the spectrum.

Elderly Couple In Fear Over Spike Lee Tweet ......

Consequences of the rush to judgement.....

With Twitter and Facebook continuing to explode with posts purporting to contain the address of George Zimmerman, property records and interviews reveal that the home is actually the longtime residence of a married Florida couple, both in their 70s, who have no connection to the man who killed Trayvon Martin and are now living in fear due to erroneous reports about their connection to the shooter.

The Plot to Get Rush....

When we work our way through what Angelo Carusone and his Media Matters comrades and others are doing when they target Rush, or went after Glenn Beck, or plan to do in targeting Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin and who knows who after that (Levin? Laura?) remember: this is the way the Left -- the global left throughout history, not simply the American Left today -- has always behaved. A fanatical intolerance is part of the leftist DNA.

Martial Law by Executive Order.....

President Obama's National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order of March 16 does to the country as a whole what the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act did to the Constitution in particular -- completely eviscerates any due process or judicial oversight for any action by the Government deemed in the interest of "national security." Like the NDAA, the new Executive Order puts the government completely above the law, which, in a democracy, is never supposed to happen. The United States is essentially now under martial law without the exigencies of a national emergency.

Mother Seeks Trayvon Martin Trademarks.......

I can honestly say I lost a child...this would be the furthest thing from my mind.....

The mother of Trayvon Martin has filed two applications to secure trademarks containing her late son’s name, records show.

Obama's Remark to Medvedev Reveals Troubling Insight

It is hard to overstate the dangerous implications of what happened this week when President Obama was caught by an open mic sending a message to Russia’s dictator-in-waiting to wait quietly till after the November elections, after which Mr. Obama could make concessions on America’s national defense. The White House is trying to explain this incident away as par for the course in an electoral year. It is not.

Here, in essence, is what it appears to be: this was our commander in chief in league with an anti-American autocrat to dupe the American public until after it’s too late. What makes it even worse is that the issue at hand–missile defense–has to do with protecting the American people against the likes of Russia.

Obamacare at the Court Preview: Day 2, The Individual Mandate

Call it the main event: after a day puzzling over whether Obamacare’s fines on those who don’t buy insurance constitute a tax or a penalty—an important threshold issue, to be sure, but one that hasn’t quite captured the public’s imagination—the Court today will hear oral argument regarding one of the most important issues before it in 65 years: whether the Constitution empowers Congress to require that virtually all Americans purchase or obtain health insurance coverage.

New Black Panther Party top brass arrested in Georgia after pawning gun.........Oh...and posting bounty!

You can't write this stuff.............

According to the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office, Hashim Nzinga, 49, of Norcross, Georgia, was arrested at the probation office he was reporting to, police said today.

He was taken to DeKalb County Jail in Decatur, Georgia, and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

A warrant was sworn out after evidence surfaced that Nzinga tried to pawn a semiautomatic handgun at a pawn shop.

Nzinga serves as the New Black Panther Party's chief of staff. He recently made news after offering a $10,000 reward for the capture of Zimmerman.

Limbaugh Tweets: You Must See This Union Thug Video ......

Workforce Fairness Institute, an organization focused on employee/management relations, is releasing a series of videos chronicling left-wing intimidation, including tactic of “showing up at people’s houses to harass them and their families,” according to Erick Erickson of RedState.

“The videos document a growing trend in American civic discourse — the use of intimidation against private citizens to punish dissent,” Erickson adds.

Administration Admits to Court: Under Obamacare, Select Group Can Get Health Care, Not Pay for It, Not Buy Insurance, Not Pay Penalty ........

This is WHY Romeneycare has driven up health care costs in Ma. It's classic "Atlas Shrugged"....

President Barack Obama has justified the mandate in his health-care law that requires individuals to buy health insurance by arguing that it will eliminate free riders—that is, people who get health care (often from emergency rooms) but, lacking insurance, never pay anything back into the health-care system.

Not All Presidential Orders Are Created Equal (Part 1) - Chuck Norris.......

In his typical duck-'n'-dodge fashion, President Barack Obama spewed his 115th executive order upon the American public on a late Friday afternoon, March 16. Cloaked in one of Obama's candy-coated, grandiloquent titles, the "National Defense Resources Preparedness" executive order set the blogosphere ablaze this past week.

Geraldo's Point - Thomas Sowell .......

It is not often that I agree with Geraldo Rivera, but recently he said something very practical and potentially life-saving, when he urged black and Hispanic parents not to let their children go around wearing hoodies.

There is no point in dressing like a hoodlum when you are not a hoodlum, even though that has become a fashion for some minority youths, including the teenager who was shot and killed in a confrontation in Florida. I don't know the whole story of that tragedy, any more than those who are making loud noises in the media do, but that is something that we have trials for.

Trayvon Martin case: He was suspended three times and caught with 'burglary tool'......

Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

The new claims, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture, one of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that some claim belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

iPads, Laptops Stolen From Romney Aides' SUV......

Last Friday, two campaign aides left their rented SUV in the Horton Plaza parking garage while they got dinner. When they returned, someone had grabbed all their belongings, including two iPads, two handheld radios and two laptops with detailed information about Romney's presidential campaign.

The Crane Chronicles, Part I: How and Why Ed Crane Pushed the Koch Brothers Conspiracy Theory

In the run up to the historic 2010 Republican sweep in the midterm congressional elections, many on the left and in the mainstream media attempted to derail the Tea Party-led victory. At the center of the left’s crosshairs were Charles and David Koch, heartland entrepreneurs who have donated significant time and resources to libertarian and conservative causes. In particular, the Kochs have donated in excess of $30 million to the nation’s first libertarian think tank, the Cato Institute, which they helped create in 1977.

Trayvon Martin Tweets ......

This is a tragedy for EVERYONE involved....however I think there is a massive and irresponsibly rush to judgement happening here!

The Daily Caller has obtained a compilation of the late Trayvon Martin’s tweets.

The social media scan, executed on PeopleBrowsr and supplied to TheDC by the individual who performed the search, contains tweets from the last month of Martin’s life, dating to the beginning of 2012.

Obama Relies on Debt Collectors Profiting From Student Loan Woe......

Everyone should pay what they owe.......however love these strong arm tactics while our President is out there saying he's going to "spread the wealth" FARLY. Can't WAIT til they get a hold of our Health Care! They'll have Storm Troopers knocking down doors to collect fines!

The debt collector on the other end of the phone gave Oswaldo Campos an ultimatum:

Pay $219 a month toward his more than $20,000 in defaulted student loans, or Pioneer Credit Recovery, a contractor with the U.S. Education Department, would confiscate his pay. Campos, disabled from liver disease, makes about $20,000 a year.

Spike Lee: Hollywood hatemonger ....

Lee’s announcing the home address on Twitter to his 250,000 followers had the intended response, as Lee supporters replied with a slew of death threats toward Zimmerman including “Dead,” “Let’s go smash this n*#gga,” and “Let’s turn up the heat on his b*tch ass.”

It may prove difficult for Lee, however, to fit the shooting neatly into his simple “black-white” view of the world because Zimmerman happens to be Hispanic.

Beware Beacon Hill's charge of tax-and-spenders' brigade....

To paraphrase Alfred, Lord Tennyson: In the spring, Beacon Hill's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of taxes. So remember his other words, "I must lose myself in action, lest I wither in despair."

The action is simple: Let legislators know that, come fall, we'll vote against anyone who increases the Massachusetts tax burden, which is already fourth-highest per capita in the nation.

I appreciate that Speaker of the House Robert DeLeo has said there will be no new taxes this year and has stated his opposition to Gov. Deval Patrick's proposal to tax candy and soda. The speaker has earned some credibility from Massachusetts citizens because of his support for public employee health care and pension reforms. I think he is sincere in his "no new taxes" message.

"Respecting States' Rights and Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act" Introduced in U.S. Senate

On March 20, U.S. Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) introduced Senate Bill 2213, the "Respecting States' Rights and Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act." NRA strongly supports this measure. Under this self-defense bill, an individual who has met the requirements for a carry permit, or who is otherwise allowed by state law to carry a handgun, would be authorized to carry a handgun in any other state that issues such permits or does not prohibit concealed carry, subject to the laws of the state in which it is carried.

Dick Cheney and the "Loving Left".....

Looks like more folks missed that pesky "Civility Memo" President Obama talks about....doesn't honor...but talks about.....

While Dick Cheney was recovering from his heart transplant in the intensive care unit of Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Va. Saturday, Twitter exploded with hate and ill wishes for the former vice president. (RELATED: Dick Cheney recovering after heart transplant surgery)

“Whoever donated their heart to dick cheney: fuck you,” tweeted @yokelesy.

Health Care & Mitt Romney .......

I just don't know if I trust Mitt enough to repeal Obamacare. Romneycare is a MESS!

“As we mark the two year anniversary of Obamacare, we are reminded that Romneycare, just like Obamacare, has dealt a knockout blow to our personal freedoms and delivered a serious jab to our economy,” the presidential campaign of former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum said in a news release over the weekend.

The 4 Best Legal Arguments Against ObamaCare .....

When a reporter asked then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) back in October 2009 “where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?”, Pelosi's response was to dismiss both the reporter and the question. “Are you serious?” she sneered. Nadeam Elshami, Pelosi’s communications director, later amplified his boss’s response, telling CNS News, “You can put this on the record. That is not a serious question.”

The Blaze Catches CNNMoney Changing its Report on Dismal ‘Green’ Jobs Numbers .......

No Drive By Media here...nope...."Nothing to look at here folks...move along!" Nope...the press isn't in the satchel for Obama....nooooooooooooooooooooo.......

Translation: After receiving billions in federal subsidies ($100 billion from the stimulus program alone), “green” jobs account for only 2.4 percent of the nation’s employment.

Considering the fact that taxpayer dollars are being thrown at “green” energy projects under the guise of “stimulating the economy” and “creating jobs,” the “2.4 percent” figure is probably not the greatest. At least, that’s what CNNMoney seemed to indicate in its report.

That is, until the story changed.

White House was all-hands-on-deck as Solyndra collapse neared......

Several key White House offices were involved with the Obama administration’s messaging plans and other preparations as the collapse of the taxpayer-backed solar company Solyndra was imminent, newly released documents show.

The latest White House documents delivered to House Republicans on Friday again highlight the extent to which senior administration officials braced for the fallout as Solyndra – a company President Obama had personally visited – was about to go under.

Gun Boom Continues Despite Florida Shooting........

 Despite calls for stricter guns laws in response to the shooting of Trayvon Martin, firearm stocks are soaring as gun companies struggle to keep up with high demand.

Shares of Sturm Ruger & Co. (RGR) were up as high as 14 percent Thursday afternoon after CEO Michael Fifer announced the company was temporarily suspending its acceptance of new orders in an effort to meet a dramatic surge in demand for its products.

Facing heat over gas price rise, Obama vows to speed pipeline's southern leg.......

OK's a pipeline to nowhere.....

 Republicans dismissed Obama's move as a publicity stunt that made little difference to the timeline of the southern project or the problem of U.S. energy security. "He's taking credit for going forward on the only portion of the pipeline that he doesn't need to approve," said Senator John Hoeven of North Dakota at a press conference. "This is literally straddling both sides of the issue."

'The Road We've Traveled' With Obama........

Where to begin? Perhaps with the last statement: Mr. Obama has spent three years wallowing in blame. His culprits have ranged from his predecessor, to tsunamis and earthquakes, to ATMs, to Fox News, to yours truly. If you Google "Obama, Blame, Bush" and "Obama, Inherited," you'll get tens of millions of hits.

Bill O'Reilly says Media Matters capaign to silnce Rush "very facist".....ya think?

They have to SILENCE our side because they are incapable of framing an argument. Whatever happened to the "Arena of Ideas"? ...Oh....that's right...they haven't GOT ANY!

On his Thursday “Talking Points” segment on Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” host Bill O’Reilly took aim at the latest Media Matters for America initiative to have conservative talker Rush Limbaugh taken off the air. Nearly a month ago, Limbaugh made some remarks about law student and contraception activist Sandra Fluke.

According to O’Reilly, pressure tactics aimed at Limbaugh are part of the left-wing organization’s effort to censor opposing points of view.

Gun Boom Continues Despite Florida Shooting......

Despite calls for stricter guns laws in response to the shooting of Trayvon Martin, firearm stocks are soaring as gun companies struggle to keep up with high demand.

Shares of Sturm Ruger & Co. (RGR) were up as high as 14 percent Thursday afternoon after CEO Michael Fifer announced the company was temporarily suspending its acceptance of new orders in an effort to meet a dramatic surge in demand for its products.

Warren Buffett's Empty Words....

It's the time of year when our tax preparers tell us how much we owe the government. Here's what might be a revelation to any high-income liberal who thinks his or her tax rate is too low -- the amount of taxes your CPA tells you that you owe is a minimum not a maximum.

Obama Bypasses Congress, Gives $1.5 Billion to Muslim Brotherhood....

This is why the argument that we should bag the Presidency in 2012 and go for the House and Senate doesn't fly. Obama is going to render them useless...he is already doing it with a willing Senate and Media!


During a trip through Colorado in December of last year, President Obama spoke of his intention to implement his economic policies with or without the approval of Congress. Said Obama, “And where Congress is not willing to act, we’re going to go ahead and do it ourselves.” It now appears that such a mindset applies not only to economic matters but to the distribution of foreign aid as well--in particular, foreign military aid for the Muslim Brotherhood, who now hold the reigns in Egypt.

Why the Ayers family helped Obama.....

As Jerome Corsi reported Tuesday in WND, there is excellent reason to believe that Bill Ayers’ parents, Tom and Mary Ayers, helped put Barack Obama through Harvard Law School.

This assertion has generated substantial media interest not only because of the credibility of the story’s source, retired mailman Allen Hulton, but also because the story fits all the known facts and resolves at least one major mystery.

Sheriff Joe: ‘Tons’ more shocking Obama info.....

“I’m not going after the president to keep him off a ballot or anything else, but that could happen,” Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio said. “I’m going at it strictly as a law-enforcement guy investigating a possible forgery and fraud. I’m sticking with that, but I’ll tell you one thing. We got tons of other information that could be very shocking, too, but I’m sticking now with just the [forgery] investigation and possible criminal violations.”

City Council Warns ‘Crack Ho’ Comments ‘Intolerable’, Calls For Diversity In Talk Radio.......

Get out of my home, get out of my health care, get out of my schools, get out of my wallet, get out of my kitchen, get out of my bedroom....NOW, get the hell off my radio!!! This is where it starts...nudge...nudge.....bit by bit..The ONLY reason this is being pushed is Rush. You cannot convince me otherwise.

It's the reason I support the flag burning. I say don't ban it. I adore our flag and what it stands for....but there are alot of us asleep at the switch. Nothing like some moron setting our magificent flag on fire to wake people up and get their blood boiling. It's the same with stupid comments. It wakes people up. 

This is a matter of civility...and when you have the President and his Administration backing Bill Maher calling Sarah Palin the "C" word...how the heck do you think legislation will change that?...

 City Council members took a step closer on Wednesday to becoming the first in the nation to adopt a resolution condemning certain types of speech on public airwaves.

Councilmember Jan Perry introduced legislation that would call upon media companies to ensure “on-air hosts do not use and promote racist and sexist slurs” on radio and other broadcasts.

'Rush Limbaugh Show' responds to Brock - Politico Readers .....

David Brock is so outraged at Rush Limbaugh’s words of three weeks ago that he started organizing a protest — almost 3 years ago.

It was planned ahead and activated at the first moment Brock could manipulate a media frenzy. Make no mistake, Brock’s “marketplace of ideas” offers only one brand: Brand Brock. All others will be forced off the shelves with intimidation and lies.

The prophetic words of Paul Harvey from 1965 .....

Glenn played some incredible audio this morning on the radio program of radio commentator Paul Harvey from 1965. Glenn knew Harvey, and described him as “absolutely inspired of God.”

Last night on GBTV, Glenn explained to viewers that America has crossed over into new territory. “The progressives, I believe, have realized their dream. They have taken those baby steps,” Glenn said. “It is time to stop studying progressives.”

Glenn challenged those that don’t think the progressives have accomplished their goals to “listen to the prophetic words of radio commentator Paul Harvey.”

'Hunger Games' Illustrates Horrors of Big Government....

It’s said about The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins’ blockbuster novel that will be released in movie form this Friday, that it appeals to a broad demographic ranging from teens to senior citizens. If so, it’s fair to assume that a not insignificant portion of the book’s devotees see a political message within. Cue up the hateful comments, but my libertarian instincts tell me the novel is a boisterous comment about the certain horrors of big government.

CBS Boosts Democrats' Poster Bashing Paul Ryan Plan as Horror Movie ......

Charlie Rose surprised Rep. Paul Ryan on Tuesday's CBS This Morning by promoting the latest smear from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Rose displayed their fake horror-movie poster with Ryan's face beside House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Speaker John Boehner. It included the caption, "Just when you thought Medicare was safe, THEY'RE BACK. This time, they want to finish it for good."

Paul Ryan’s Supply-Side 2012 Budget .....

Working with Dave Camp, Ryan has laid out a great blueprint for Mitt Romney and the whole Republican party. In particular, while listening to the budget meister at a small luncheon for conservative journalists and think-tankers in Washington on Monday, what I heard again and again was an emphasis on economic growth.

Court Sides With Property Owners Over EPA........

The Supreme Court has sided with an Idaho couple in a property rights case, ruling they can go to court to challenge an Environmental Protection Agency order that blocked construction of their new home and threatened fines of more than $30,000 a day.

Marines down on Obama........

According to the article, of the 792 active-duty troops and mobilized reservists who responded to this year's Military Times Poll, 44 percent said that they disapprove of the way Obama is handling his job as commander in chief.

Advertisers Feel Pressure to Pull Limbaugh Ads.......

Advertisers Feel Pressure to Pull Limbaugh Ads

Paul Ryan's Proposal a bold stroke....

"The Republicans running for president could learn a lesson from House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis. If, as the GOP candidates say, we really have gone miles down the wrong fiscal and economic road, and we surely have, then we require something bold and substantive to take us in the right direction. ... Ryan's plan is a bold stroke.

A safer society with guns .....

This article comes from the Boston Globe....the biggest Left Wing RAG in Boston....however once again, Jacoby makes absolute sense and backs it up!

While the University of Colorado spent much of the past decade resisting the state’s concealed-carry law, Colorado State University complied with it. If the gun controllers are right, Colorado State should have seen a surge in crime, while its gun-banning sister institution should have been an Eden of security and lawfulness. That’s not what happened. As Clayton E. Cramer and David Burnett write in a new monograph for the Cato Institute, “crime at the University of Colorado has risen 35 percent since 2004, while crime at Colorado State University has dropped 60 percent in the same time frame.’’

Government by the people, really .....AMEN!

But what if the real compromise isn't in forcing the left and the right to heel? What if instead the solution is to disempower the national elites who think they've got all the answers? Federalism, the process whereby you push most political questions to the lowest democratic level possible — to states, counties, cities, school boards — has been ripe on the right for years. It even had a champion in Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) still carries that torch.

IRS may share tax info with police to fight fraud......

This could become a nightmare unless written CAREFULLY, and only when the person - the victim THEMSELVES allows for information to be shared.

Tax return information is normally kept tightly secret by the IRS. Under the program, exceptions could be made, with the permission of victims of identity theft and tax refund fraud, so that bogus tax return documents could be shared with police.

Paul Ryan - Now That's Leadership!

I actually sat and read Paul Ryan's First Budget proposal and liked everything he suggested. This will be my weekend reading! He's refreshing because he has the guts to "put it out there" and take the fire storm!

In the first moments of reading House Budget Committee's Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Resolution, entitled "The Path to Prosperity" (and subtitled "A Blueprint for American Renewal"), you realize that this is no business-as-usual document.

Martha McSally runs for Ar. Seat opened by Giffords leaving....

While stationed in Saudi Arabia, she led the charge to remove restrictions on U.S. military women abroad, including Department of Defense policies that forced American women to wear Muslim garb and be escorted by males while in the Middle East.

McSally described the discrimination she felt overseas to TheDC.

“I’d have to sit in the back and at all times, I must be escorted by a male who, if asked, is supposed to say I’m his wife,” McSally said.

“I can fly a single-seat aircraft in hostile territory, but in Saudi Arabia I can’t drive a vehicle,” she added

Media Matters Clams Up Under Scrutiny......

After facing down more than a month of tough reporting, David Brock’s Media Matters for America still has nothing to say for itself. The progressive messaging group has all but clammed up about its internal turmoil under a constant barrage of scrutiny from conservatives and liberals alike.

'Fast and Furious' part of Eric Holder's anti-gun brainwashing campaign.....

NRA has been saying for years that Attorney General Eric Holder, our nation’s chief law enforcement officer, is an anti-gun extremist. He’s been toeing the Obama anti-gun ideological line for his entire life, and now we have more evidence.

Glenn Beck: “I will not comply” – Amen!

It finally happened. The day has finally come. Glenn admitted on radio this morning that he doesn’t recognize the country, and sees that progressives are starting to crush the idea of American exceptionalism. And while he certainly wasn’t in a cheery mood over what was happening in the country, he did promise not to let the progressives crush him along the way. As regulations, indoctrinations and more come closer and closer to his front door, he made one promise – “I will not comply”.

The GOP budget and America's future .....

Less than a year ago, the House of Representatives passed a budget that took on our generation's greatest domestic challenge: reforming and modernizing government to prevent an explosion of debt from crippling our nation and robbing our children of their future.

Absent reform, government programs designed in the middle of the 20th century cannot fulfill their promises in the 21st century. It is a mathematical and demographic impossibility. And we said so.

Postman: Ayers family put ‘foreigner’ Obama through school....

Hulton says that in conversations with Mary Ayers while on his route he learned of the couple’s enthusiasm and support for a black foreign student. One bright, warm Chicagoland day, he recounts, he met the student who fit Mary Ayers’ description in front of the Ayers home in Glen Ellyn, Ill. That young man, Hulton is convinced, was Barack Obama.

Gov’t-Subsidized ‘Clean Energy’ Company Awarded Loan Guarantee to Sell Solar Panels…to Itself......

Many Americans were upset when they learned First Solar, an Arizona-based solar panel manufacturer, received millions of dollars in loan guarantees from the U.S. government. Chances are, they’ll be even more unhappy when they find out the same company was given an additional $455.7 million loan guarantee to sell solar panels to itself.

Wait. What?

Malia Obama Oaxaca, Mexico Vacation Story Disappearing from the Web .......m

Have you heard that Malia Obama, the president’s daughter, is reportedly spending her spring break in Oaxaca, Mexico? Allegedly, she’s jetting off with some of her classmates and 25 Secret Service agents to a country that the State Department has said all Americans should avoid. But something is different about the latest “Obama vacation controversy:” references to it are disappearing from the Internet — and fast.

Vets angry over American flag featuring Obama....

And....we are surprised by this?.....

"I can't describe how upset was because you just don't do that to the American flag," Van Beck said.

Van Beck found it flying outside Lake County Democratic headquarters under the stars and stripes. Marine Corps vet John Masterjohn was seeing red.

'Joe the Plumber-politician' speaks...........

And now, Joe the Plumber, who eked through his own primary with a 51 to 49 percent margin, is trying to pull a massive upset. He has little money, but he has plenty of name recognition, the average working guy who stood down Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential race.

Biden hails middle class at wealthy fundraiser ........

By the end of each day my head just explodes...it doesn't even wait for these articles anymore....knows they are coming at us like a waterfall.....

Vice President Joe Biden addressed 87 wealthy Democrats last night attending a fundraiser at the home of Sen. John Kerry in Georgetown. As they dined on grass-fed New York strip steaks and white truffle mashed potatos underneath a outdoor tent, Biden criticized Republicans for being out of touch.

Khulood Badawi Falsely Attributes Bloody Photo to Israeli Air Strikes.....

A U.N. media official is under fire after tweeting a graphic image of an injured child and attributing it to recent Israeli air strikes on Gaza. While the photo, at first glance, certainly offers up a tragic sense of what war costs the men, women and children who live through it, the image is apparently years old and had nothing to do with Israeli actions.

Michelle Obama Challenged on ‘Let’s Move!’ Childhod Obesity Program by 11-Year-Old.......

However, as The Blaze has extensively reported the first lady’s anti-childhood obesity push has done everything from revamp the menu at Olive Gardens to include “kid-friendly,” low sodium options nationwide to take the happy out of Happy Meals by requiring the fast food giant to include — whether it is asked for or not — apple wedges and less french fries in every child’s Happy Meal.

The Blaze has also reported on what happens when local school districts take hold of children’s lunch options, thus Sena’s question on government control of food choices seems fitting.

Obama: US ‘heartbroken’ over Afghan civilians killed in attack .....

Innocents die in War...it's a sad truth. We all feel the sadness of this incident. I find it interesting that our President is "heartbroken" here...but just had this to say when the Ft. hood Massacre took place:

 

"We don’t yet know all the details at this moment.  We will share them as we get them… We will make sure we get answers to every single question about this horrible incident… I hope all of you recognize the scope of this tragedy.”....."scope" of the tragedy......

“The United States takes this as seriously as if it was our own citizens and our own children who were murdered,” Obama said during brief remarks in the Rose Garden. “We are heartbroken over the loss of innocent life.”
