ACLU pressuring vice presidential debate moderator to emphasize GOP ‘war on women’ ......

This one offends me personally. You want a "War on Woman"? 

Try the Middle East - try Sharia Law.....That's a war on woman...

Get your act together and take care of yourself! Even when I was a broke college student, I handled birth control and any related issues MYSELF. 

Yup, I went to Planned Parenthood. They were great. I find it sad that they "seem" to have changed their mission - but that I cannot verify.

I STILL handle it myself...this great economy has left me without health care. I pay for everything myself....novel concept.

I am conservative - but I believe the Uterus should be left out of politics.

Everyone needs to have skin in the game. 

There is no damned War on Woman...stop it. It's insulting.

The hook for the ACLU is that the topic did not come up during the first debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney. “This happened even though the war on women and its consequences have had devastating consequences for millions of women all across America,” the ACLU says, before demanding Raddatz ensure that “access to abortion and contraception aren’t ignored in the Vice Presidential debate.”

Kiowa Tribe Member on Elizabeth Warren's "Shockingly Offensive" Behavior......

A member of the Kiowa Tribe, of Oklahoma, has weighed in on the recent controversies surrounding Scott Brown and his staffers and Elizabeth Warren's Native Problem. He calls her actions "shockingly offensive".

MSNBC Small Business Panelist: ‘Insane’ To Think You Built It ‘All By Yourself’ ......

OK...My head just exploded......

Here are my thoughts about that...

Elizabeth Warren by the numbers……

1.) "There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own.

Nobody…

You built a factory out there - good for you.

But I want to be clear.

You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for.

Really? Last time I checked we – company owners large & small - paid road excise taxes…state taxes…city taxes, gas taxes….etc… that are supposed to fund this construction….. We also pay freight costs for all goods coming and going on those same roads…..taken care of by our – all of our tax money.

(Except, of course for the approx. 49% who have no skin in the game but take/get the most….)

2.) You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate.

Really? We pay property taxes….sometimes on both our homes and business locations. These are “supposed” to be utilized to educate our children…thus… our future “employees”.

Nobody out there paid for our college educations used to perhaps create this idea and/or business we now fight to keep alive……

3.) You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.

Once again, those pesky property taxes…state taxes…never mind fees etc. we all pay…

Sometimes our own security in addition to our civic responsibilities……

And….again sometimes twice because of a business location.

4.) You didn't have to worry that marauding bands (Huh?!) would come and seize everything at your factory and hire someone to protect against this because of the work the rest of us did.

What in the name of GOD – ( yes, I have no problem including the word GOD in my platform ) …are you talking about?

We pay State, Federal, Corporate, Payroll Sales taxes…fees…permits…..yada yada each DAY, week – month, year that is supposed to fund all of this….

5.) Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea, God Bless! Keep a Big Hunk of it. (Why thanks….) But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along."

The “next kid” coming along can take the same risk….lose the same money, sign onto the same financial risks, work the same insane hours, lose countless hours of sleep with worry that the rest of us all did to CREATE our businesses…

To PROVIDE jobs for our employees and help pay taxes to the government that couldn’t survive a DAY without all of us because it doesn’t have a vehicle for generating ANY money of it’s own…

NONE without “We the People”……

So,YES, we DID build this…..

We will decide who we pass what meager profits along to…

.WE WILL DECIDE!

Elizabeth recently said this at the DNC Convention….

6.) "Corporations are not people. People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they cry, they dance. They live, they love, and they die. And that matters, because we don't run this country for corporations, we run it for people."

Really….we may only be a small “Corporation”…but the last time I checked it was populated by caring, loving PEOPLE.

PEOPLE with family’s…with children, with all the normal worries we all have each day in this GAWD AWFUL economy.

The last time I checked…. I am “people” too…….I just happen to own a Corporation. Most of us out here are small….10 +- people Corporations…..

We live, we have hearts that break, we laugh, we dance, we get sick, we die…..just like you…..

But how would she ever know this? You would have to actually start a corporation to understand and possibly earn the right to pontificate and lecture the rest of us… Maybe then we’d listen to you…..

Nah……………

And finally… We do NOT live in a vacuum.

We don’t create a business and miraculously shed all the other normal civic and financial responsibilities everyone has……

They forget that even though we may own a business…we’re also card carrying members of “WE THE PEOPLE”….and we VOTE!

Perry called the notion that businesses are built by individual initiative “a myth,” noting a broad liberal talking point about how one’s success is “supplemented” by “taxpayers who pay for schools, roads, laws and institutions that make business possible.” Perry went on to say entrepreneurs who get upset with the government just “may not understand” how important the government is for their success.

College Professor Sharon Sweet on Leave After Making Students Sign ‘Obama’ Pledge.....

A college professor at Brevard Community College (BCC) in Cocoa, Fla. has been placed on leave after she allegedly required her class to sign a pledge to vote for President Barack Obama “and Democrats up and down the ticket.

Obama's Disdain for Democracy and Free Expression.....

Ironically, one of the most brazen examples of the President's propensity to ignore the wishes of the electorate occurred just recently at the Democratic National Convention. I refer, of course, to the infamous floor vote that resulted in the reinsertion of the words "God" and "Jerusalem" in the Democratic-party platform.

‘Whose Democratic Party?’ .....

A new advertisement scheduled to run in Florida makes the case that President Obama has pushed the Democratic Party to embrace anti-Israel policies, according to a copy of the ad obtained by the Free Beacon.

Sebelius Illegally Campaigned on Taxpayer’s Dime......

Yeah.....and what are we going to do about this......

Independent federal legal officials have concluded that Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius violated federal law by conducting political activity “in an official capacity,” according to a statement released on Wednesday.

“Sebelius violated the Hatch Act when she made extemporaneous partisan remarks in a speech delivered in her official capacity on February 25, 2012,” the news release from the U.S. Office of Special Council states.

Clinton Myths ....

President Clinton happily takes credit for reducing America's budget deficit and presiding over a period of strong economic growth. But this happened not because of wise leadership. Clinton had the good fortune to reside in the White House just as the high-tech information revolution kicked in and a Republican Congress stopped him from spending what Democrats wanted to spend.

Progressives say that his increase of the top tax bracket did not prevent economic growth, but it never occurs to them that growth would have been even stronger had government not confiscated that money.

Sadly, most who watched St. Bill at the DNC will never know the truth.

The Democrats' Soft Extremism .....

I think what this wing of their Party represents is unsettling at the very least....

The fight over including a single mention of God in the platform—that was extreme. The original removal of the single mention by the platform committee—extreme. The huge "No!" vote on restoring the mention of God, and including the administration's own stand on Jerusalem—that wasn't liberal, it was extreme. Comparing the Republicans to Nazis—extreme. The almost complete absence of a call to help education by facing down the powers that throw our least defended children under the school bus—this was extreme, not mainstream.

A few "Truth" problems with DNC 1st day......

HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES SECRETARY KATHLEEN SEBELIUS: "Instead of sending your checks to your insurance companies, your insurance companies are sending a check to you. ...If you already have health insurance you like, you can keep it."

THE FACTS: Under the new health care law, insurers must issue rebates if they fail to spend at least 80 percent of premiums - Sebelius incorrectly said 50 percent - collected on medical care and quality improvement. But mostly it's the employer, not the worker, who gets the check.

S.C. Dem. Chair Compares GOP Gov. to Hitler's Mistress .....

Sucks! Once again...ANOTHER Dem missed that pesky civility memo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

S.C. Democratic Chairman Dick Harpootlian, never a loss for a quick quip, tossed a few stinging one-liners at the Wednesday delegation breakfast.

On Gov. Nikki Haley participating in daily news briefings in a basement studio at the NASCAR Hall of Fame: “She was down in the bunker a la Eva Braun.”

Braun, along with her lover Adolf Hitler, committed suicide in a bunker as World War II was coming to an end.

Fact Check: First Lady's False Fairy Tale of Struggle....

“[B]elieve it or not, when we were first married, our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage,” Michelle said. That sounds like a raw deal--but in fact reflects their fortunate circumstances. They had both just graduated from a very expensive law school, and their combined income from cushy law firm jobs dwarfed the repayments. Barack also soon enjoyed a second salary from the University of Chicago.

DNC ad touches the Unholy Grail of anti-Constitutional thought.....

I heard this line on the news while I scrambled to get to my Plant...the one...ya know....that one "we didn't build".....and I stopped dead in my tracks.
If this doesn't encapsulate the difference in the two parties....nothing does.
I don't even know if I could call it the difference in the Parties, as much as a difference in our way of thinking. There are those of us who want the Government to GO AWAY....get out of my wallet....house, kitchen, car, cell phone, business, Church, sports arenas...
And then those who want that little government Tinkerbell floating around every move they make.
Pull yourself up by the boot strap mentality versus "Mother Russia" style all encompassing Big Brother....
Thomas Jefferson....yup...one of those "old pasty white guys" who wrote that pesky Constitution had so many great quotes....but I thought of this one this morning upon hearing the DNC beliefs laid bare last night...

"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny."

Amen.....

Woops...I forgot....while the DNC Convention goes on - God goes out.......

The punch line is: "The government is the only thing we all belong to." (Forget about ending a sentence with a preposition.)

The degree to which that one simple sentence stands the U.S. Constitution on its head should take our breath away.

We, the people, do not belong to the government. The government belongs to us.

Debt tops $16 trillion.....

Let the Convention begin!!!!!!!

Debt has risen at a meteoric pace under Mr. Obama — in less than four years in office he has already eclipsed President George W. Bush's eight years. His advisers say he has a "plausible" plan to stabilize the debt, but defend his spending plans, saying to withdraw government stimulus now would hurt the economic recovery.

Illegal Immigrant 'Undocu-Bus' Rolls Into Charlotte For DNC....

I guess obedience to our "laws" only apply to American CITIZENS.....

Emboldened by President Barack Obama's executive action that allows some illegal immigrants to apply for work permits, a group of illegal immigrants on the "Undocu-Bus" arrived in Charlotte during the week of the Democratic National Convention to advocate for broader amnesty programs.

The Democrats' Faulty Memory.....

But this is not Obama's problem, or at least it was not the problem during the first two years of Obama's term, when Democrats controlled the House of Representatives and had a nearly filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. During that period, Obama practically had carte blanche to do as he pleased, and what did he do? Bailouts and stimulus and health-care and -- more than anything else -- massive deficit spending.

The Bushes: 41 and 43 .....

This is utter class with which to compare when you watch the DNC Convention this week.....

The Bushes: 41 and 43

Now There Is No Hope....

Once again, Ben Stein kills it.....

Yes, he did get a universal health care law passed. But Mr. Nixon proposed a much more comprehensive, much more comprehensible plan in 1973! FORTY YEARS AGO!!!! Is Mr. Obama bragging that he finished something Nixon started four decades ago? I wrote that message to Congress for RN. The Democrats killed the bill. BAM! Dead on Arrival on Capitol Hill. Killed by Teddy's spite.

Democrats set to move Obama's big speech from 74,000-seater outdoor stadium to 20,000-seater indoor arena ....

Democrats are poised to avoid the danger of President Barack Obama accepting his party’s nomination before a partially-empty stadium by shifting his speech to an indoor arena and citing ‘severe weather’.

The Obama campaign have been working desperately to ensure that the 74,000-seater Bank of America stadium in Charlotte would be filled.

Buses for students from across North Carolina and even members of black churches in neighboring South Carolina have been arranged.

How to Write About the Republican National Convention.......

Hilarious....if it weren't so damned true.....still funny!

Every four years a conclave of the most fiendish villains found this side of San Francisco gathers to anoint a reactionary running dog capitalist candidate on a platform of destroying the environment, restoring slavery and making everyone eat broccoli. It is your job as a dedicated progressive reporter to penetrate their lair wearing the token press badges of your profession and file a balanced report describing in detail what absolutely awful human beings Republicans are.
