So, trying to save your State, eventually our Country from economic disaster is akin to Adolph now....must have missed that pesky memo on civility, ey???
Welcome to the new civility.
At a Thursday rally in New Jersey protesting Republican Gov. Chris Christie’s pension deal that would cut pensions and benefits to public workers, a union leader charged Christie with acting like a Nazi. And not any ordinary Nazi, but Adolf Hitler himself.
“Good afternoon brothers and sisters. Welcome to Nazi Germany,” Communications Workers of America District 1 Vice President Christopher Shelton is seen raving in a video posted on YouTube.
“We have Adolf Christie and his two generals trying to make New Jersey Nazi Germany.”"

Obama Backs EPA War on Coal, While Networks Ignore Harm to Industry
It is no longer a secret that President Obama's administration is willing to allow electricity prices to 'necessarily skyrocket,' in order to accomplish his green energy agenda.
Although he has so far been unsuccessful at instituting cap-and-trade, Obama's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is hard at work running coal companies and consumers into the ground. Not that you'd know it from ABC, NBC and CBS news coverage."

The Fordham Foundation Yet Again Pretends to Lean Right to Attack Rick Perry From the Left | RedState
Yesterday on National Review Online, Checker Finn took one pot shot after another at the state of Texas and publicly displayed his hand-wringing over Texas Governor Rick Perry’s potential influence on national education policy. You see, Mr. Finn tries - quite unsuccessfully in my view – to target Texas “bravado” as the threat to a sound education policy. On the one hand, he attempts to criticize Governor Perry by lumping him in with George W. Bush’s efforts to push No Child Left Behind, despite Perry’s resistance to embrace it. Then he turns around and says now we will somehow suffer because Perry’s national policy prefers to leave education to the states (heaven forbid)."
Economic briefing returns to Obama's schedule - latimes.com
The Hill newspaper reported last week that the once-daily economic briefings had disappeared from the president's schedule of late, even as new data have spurred growing pessimism about the direction of the economy."
U.S. agents slam gun sting effort on Mexico border | Reuters
Agents for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Arizona told the House of Representatives Oversight Committee they were told not to arrest the so-called straw buyers and instead see where the guns went."
Google denies special deal for Barack Obama - Byron Tau and Ben Smith - POLITICO.com
Yeah....right......

Reality Check: Higher Taxes Simply Won't Solve the U.S. Revenue Problem - HUMAN EVENTS
Economically, liberals ascribe to this dictum: The floggings will continue until morale improves. At least that is what their call for higher taxes to close the federal deficit implies. Instead of seeing an economy struggling to recover, they see income awaiting redistribution.
The Left has been making much of the fact that federal tax revenue, as a percentage of the economy, is at its lowest since 1950. Instead of ascribing this to the recent recession, liberals attribute the federal deficit to it. Curiously, they do not manage to place the deficit at spending’s doorstep—or mention that its increase is even more pronounced—though it is at t its highest point since 1946 and exceeded only by WWII."

What GOP Presidential Candidates Can Learn From Marco Rubio's Exceptional Maiden Speech - HUMAN EVENTS
Freshman Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio delivered his maiden speech on the floor of the Senate yesterday and it was a speech all GOP presidential contenders should watch.
It was the best speech of the 2012 presidential cycle, except the person who delivered it has all but ruled himself off of the 2012 ticket on numerous occasions.
The GOP presidential field has been criticized for not having passion or conviction, and Rubio’s speech lit up the normally staid Senate chamber to the extent that this is possible. It had a clear argument, an emotional arc, personal tie-ins, and was delivered with conviction. Too often, even in the GOP, politicians talk about American exceptionalism as if it is an academic exercise.
Not Rubio."

Dirty Spending Secrets-Gov. employees upgrading costs to Business Class
Evidently the foot room is better! Federal employees cost taxpayers $146 million each year when they upgrade to business class flights. The Government Accountability Office found that more than half of these upgrades were not properly authorized. The rest of us have to fly coach and live on a budget—it’s time our government does the same."
Confession of a Reluctant Tea-Partier
When candidate Obama showed up, I realized that I had heard his typical stump speech every single day of my old Soviet life from big and small Communist party bosses -- the same structure, the same cadences, the same bogeymen, the same demagoguery, the same targets. The American people had no defense against this rhetoric. The result of the elections was totally predictable. To me it was a 'Back to the Future' moment."
A mini-ice age on the way?
Why not? Climate hysterics have kind of worn out the global warming scare. Now it's time to reverse gears and scare the beejeebus out of us by positing global cooling.
Actually, this has a little bit more basis in science. Sun spot activity is disappearing, which has led in the past to 'The Little Ice Age' and other cold snaps lasting a couple of centuries or more."

64,000 Cases of Possible Voter Fraud Being Investigated in New Mexico | CNSnews.com
New Mexico Secretary of State Dianna Duran has turned over about 64,000 cases of what she calls possible voter fraud to the State Department of Public Safety for investigation.
That's more than 10 percent of the 607,700 people who voted in the 2010 general election in New Mexico -- and it's way more than the 37 cases of foreign nationals illegally voting that Duran mentioned at a legislative hearing earlier this year, the newspaper reported."

Undercounting the Joblessness
With 13.9 million people in the U.S. out of work according to the federal government's unemployment calculations (a tally that excludes those who are classified as 'discouraged' workers and 'involuntary part-timers,' among others), the Labor Department reported that only 54,000 jobs were added to nonfarm payrolls in May, down significantly from an average of 130,500 new jobs per month during the first four months of this year."
Christie's Blind Spot
OoooooooHHhhhhhhhhhhhh NOOOOOoooooooooo!!!!!
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has certainly been a wonderful rhetorical revelation for conservatives, tailor-made for YouTube. He backs a cap on property tax increases -- rah! He wants teachers to contribute to their own health insurance plans like most of the rest of us -- yeah! He confronts liberal hecklers and wants to unite the country -- all riiight!!"

Obama's Pink Slip Economy
President Obama says he's 100% focused these days on creating jobs. So why is he taking advice from a bunch of CEOs whose companies have been shedding jobs for years? In February, Obama chartered the Jobs and Competitiveness Council with a mission of leaving 'no stone unturned' in the search of ways to boost the country's anemic job growth."
Why American Exceptionalism Matters...
Our nation is at a cultural crossroads. At no time in our history has America been faced with two sets of values and visions that are so drastically different from each other.
President Obama and other liberal elites believe that more government is the solution to every problem. They see America as a nation that is behind other countries in moving toward a European statist model and a secular society. And they feel deeply uneasy with the United States' leading role in the world."

‘Palin 2.0’ – The Mainstream Media’s Attempt to Deny Sarah Palin’s Vindication - Big Government
Since her national debut in August 2008, the mainstream media has been determined to destroy Gov. Sarah Palin. Journalists flocked to Alaska to dig up dirt. They spun smears about book bans and rape kits. Some even indulged conspiracy theories about the birth of her son. They showed no interest in her outstanding record.
They kept going after her long after the 2008 election, blaming her for the Tuscon shootings–and attacking her for defending herself."

Dozens of Republicans Vote for Handouts to Big Labor | RedState
Yesterday, the House passed the largely non-controversial Military Construction/Veterans Affairs Appropriations (MilCon) bill for FY 2012. Unfortunately, it is these non-controversial bills which provide a safe haven for meretricious policy initiatives through the rapid fire amendment process. While everyone was focused on presidential politics, the House passed an amendment forcing government contractors to use labor unions on federal construction projects. Oh, and like most bad legislation, this amendment passed by one vote, with the help of 27 Republicans."
Barack Obama Thinks an ATM Ate Your Job | RedState
We get what we deserve.....we allowed him to get elected....because we were completely unable to put forth a decent, good candidate to fight him....and we're about to do it again with Mitt Romney - ACK!
Yesterday, Barack Obama gave away the game. Without actually using the words, Barack Obama admitted he is completely and utterly ignorant about job creation and economics. In an interview with the Today Show, Barack Obama declared that the unemployment rate remains so high because of ATMS.
Sadly, many people will agree with him because they lack the vision to see the whole picture. They see less bank tellers and more ATMs — much as Barack Obama does — and presume this must mean higher unemployment. This myth, and it is a myth, is older than even the great lament that cars put blacksmiths on the unemployment line by getting rid of the need for horse shoes."
