Quote: 

"The apportionment of taxes on the various descriptions of property is an act which seems to require the most exact impartiality; yet there is, perhaps, no legislative act in which greater opportunity and temptation are given to a predominant party to trample on the rules of justice. Every shilling which they overburden the inferior number is a shilling saved to their own pockets."

The organization sponsoring Nonie Darwish's appearance is the student organization, Temple University Purpose.

On Tuesday, April 12th (7:00 PM), we are having a very important, urgent event on the-oppressive and lagging human rights-women, homosexuals, minorities, non-Islamic religions-under Shari'a Law both abroad and here in United States.  We recognize that part of what adds to the conflict is that in Islamic countries there is no separation mosque and state.  Of course, therein lays the problem because to question any Government entity is to question Allah and that is a crime punishable in various ways, depending on who you are.  This ultimately suppresses freedom of speech and encourages and perpetuates a torturous cycle of suppression of thought and expression.

There will be a Q&A at the end. 

The event is meant to raise awareness of the horrific human crimes/conditions of persons both abroad and in America under Shari'a Law.

You can also find our Facebook event page here where you can confirm and through which you can invite as many persons as you'd like: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=198614740160991

 If you aren't familiar with our organization Temple University Purpose, we are an aggressive, inclusive Political/Advocacy student organization that does not subscribe to political correctness.  We are neither politically nor religiously affiliated.  However, one shouldn't mistake us as a neutral organization because that implies that one stands for nothing - we, however, stand for a lot.  And, in this particular case, we stand for the human rights of all. 

We pride ourselves in introducing conversations and creating a dialogue and debates on issues that otherwise would be omitted from the Temple University arena of thought and debate.

US Black student leaders slam 'apartheid' characterization

 Letter says "decency, justice and hope compel us to demand immediate cessation to deliberate misappropriation of words."
NEW YORK - African-American student leaders from a variety of historically black colleges and universities took out full page ads in numerous American college newspapers Thursday, displaying an "Open Letter to Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP)," to convey that they were offended by SJP's use of the term "apartheid" at recent Israel Apartheid Week events at campuses across the country.

The 16 signatories to the letter are students and alumni from historically black colleges and universities who are members of the Vanguard Leadership Group, a leadership development academy and honor society for top students. The letter ran or is slated to run in student newspapers at Brown University, University of California- Los Angeles, University of Maryland and Columbia University over the next few days.

Challenging the Leftist Domination of the Jewish Community

 Change is in the air. From the toppling of Middle East potentates to the Tea Party's dramatic rise to the recent historic public employee union legislation enacted across the Midwest, things suddenly seem to be turned on their heads. And from the unlikely location of central Indiana a new model has arisen for Jews whose unequivocal support for Israel and America has hitherto been marginalized.

The Establishment of JAACI

With the withdrawal of B'nai Torah's JCRC membership, the long smoldering fire of pent-up frustration quickly ignited and spread to other congregations, community organizations, and individuals not only in Indianapolis, but throughout Jewish communities in Indiana. B'nai Torah's last representative on the JCRC, Elliot Bartky, spoke with a broad segment of the Jewish community around the state who shared B'nai Torah's frustration and were convinced of the need to...

The repercussions of a UN recognition of Palestine

By Ted Belman

The PA has been hard at work of late lining up votes in the UNGA for the recognition of the state of Palestine with pre '67 borders with the eastern part of Jerusalem as its capital.

They intend to use the "Uniting for Peace" procedure to avoid a possible UNSC veto regardless of whether the procedure is legal. (See; The UN Charter Cannot Support GA Resolution 377). Were they to get such recognition the repercussions would be significant.

Alan Baker, who was legal counsel for Israel in the drafting of the Oslo Accords and is currently associated with the Jerusalem Center of Public Affairs, recently published The Palestinian UN Gamble - Irresponsible and Ill-Advised. He summarized his article as follows

"While such a resolution would not have the authority to alter the legal status of the territories, the negative consequences of such a course of action would nevertheless serve to void the very basis of the peace process. It would undermine the legal...

RedState Morning Briefing

For April 11, 2011

1. It's What Happens When the Stupid Party and Evil Party Get Together

There is a quote out there that sometimes get attributed to Republican Senate Leader Everett Dirksen and sometimes not. The quote is that there two parties in Washington - the stupid party and the evil party. Every once in a while the stupid party and the evil party get together and do something that is both stupid and evil. In Washington, that is called bipartisanship.

Our United States Senate, led by Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia and Democratic Senator Mark Warner of Virginia are on the verge of leading the Congress into doing something both stupid and evil.

It will be heralded by the Washington Press Corp as a grownup act of bipartisan.

2. It's Obamacare, Stupid

Many establishment conservatives are agog with joy over the grand sellout of a budget deal. They feel that John Boehner was the real winner in the debate. The problem is that they are all focusing on the dollar amount of the discretionary spending cuts. They are forgetting the 800-pound gorilla in the room; Obamacare. The cost of O-care to our economy, liberty, consumer choice, and health care system is incalculable; certainly ions more than the diminutive $38 billion (really $26 billion in new cuts) in discretionary cuts that were secured by Boehner.

The Wall Street Journal penned a disingenuous op-ed lauding the spending deal as the " first victory for the Tea Party." They further admonished conservatives for criticizing the deal.

3. Romney Announces Exploratory PAC

Almost exactly five years after signing Romneycare into law, Mitt Romney has announced (via Twitter) that he is officially forming his exploratory PAC committee, which is the first official step towards an inevitable Presidential run. As a guy who reluctantly came around to supporting Romney in 2008, I cannot see how Mitt Romney expects to harness any of the anger over Obamacare which propelled Republicans to victory in 2010, given that he himself implemented a healthcare plan that is identical in all almost all its particulars.

4. "We Are One!" - Unions and Communists Rally in Chicago

You could say that they are one now. At least, there's no denying they're breaking bread and sipping from the same can of alphabet soup these days under the banner of so-called "solidarity."

Over the weekend, thousands of union workers crowded in Chicago's Daley Plaza to show their solidarity(!) with their union comrades in Wisconsin.

5. Children Of The Corn - How Ethanol Damages America!

So let's make a deal! I'll give you a new source of fuel that has 1/3 the energy of your gasoline. In return for that, I'll dramatically decrease the food supply. As a result of this screaming bargain, you'll end up spending more cash on gasoline to make up for the lost power from this new fuel additive. And furthermore, once we've obliterated metric tons of food production, governments all over the Middle East will become destabilized and disrupt the original supply of fuel we were using before I offered you this bargain. If this sounds about as enticing as the offer Agent Smith made to Cypher Reagan, that only means you are intelligent and have been paying attention.

6. SEIU Demonstrates Its Lack of Civility With 'Civil Disobedience'

You've certainly seen enough video footage of the unruly union mobs in Madison, WI for the last two months. Well, the SEIU has taken its mob show on the road and, like the pioneers of old, headed West.

State Department Faces Congressional Scrutiny Over Internet Freedom Funding

From: Gary L. Bauer


Budget Deal Divides Left And Right

Congressional leaders reached a deal at the 11th hour Friday night that has temporarily avoided a government shutdown. As is often the case with Washington deals, no one is happy. Liberals think Obama caved and conservatives think Republicans caved. Consider these headlines: "Budget Deal Leaves Liberals Disheartened" and "Tea Party Movement Activists Split On Budget Deal."

Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are not happy today. The New York Times' ultra-liberal economist Paul Krugman is not a happy camper either. Here is an excerpt of Krugman's column today:

"What have they done with President Obama? What happened to the inspirational figure his supporters thought they elected? Who is this bland, timid guy who doesn't seem to stand for anything in particular? ...Maybe that terrible deal, in which Republicans ended up getting more than their opening bid, was the best he could achieve -- although it looks from here as if the president's idea of how to bargain is to start by ... making pre-emptive concessions, then pursue a second round of negotiation with the G.O.P., leading to further concessions."

Now consider this from the center-right Wall Street Journal:

"One of the ironies of Friday's budget deal is that it is being criticized both by Ms. Pelosi and some conservative Republicans. We can understand Ms. Pelosi's angst. But conservatives are misguided if they think they could have done much better than Mr. Boehner... Republicans need to stay united for the bigger fights to come this year, and for now they and the tea party can take credit for spending cuts that even Mr. Obama feels politically obliged to sell as historic."

I commend House conservatives who oppose the deal like Mike Pence and Michele Bachmann. It is good that there is pressure from the right so that the leadership knows that it can't just roll over. Having worked in all eight years of Ronald Reagan's administrations, I'm tired of seeing government getting bigger and bigger.

At the same time, I realize John Boehner is in a difficult position. Friends, we have to remember that this budget fight is just one battle in a bigger war. The ultimate goal is to have a conservative House, a conservative Senate and a conservative in the White House. Yet, the closer we got to a government shutdown, the more the media's narrative of "GOP extremism," i.e., denying soldiers' pay over Planned Parenthood, gained ground. We cannot govern America with just the House of Representatives and Fox News.

The bottom line is this: We are not in this mess because of John Boehner. We are in this mess because the Democrats still control the Senate and the White House. They also have a liberal media that twists the facts and distorts what conservatives are trying to do.

I know a lot of folks are disappointed with this deal. But we will be devastated if Obama is reelected and Nancy Pelosi becomes Speaker of the House again after the 2012 elections. That's why CWF is working hard to make sure we win the bigger battle down the road. We are working to make sure that instead of 47 senators, we have as close to 60 as we can, working with a conservative president and a conservative House majority to make America a "shining city upon a hill" once again.


The Deal

Here are some points to consider on this budget deal as we understand it today:

• Two months ago in his State of the Union Address, President Obama announced with much fanfare a "five-year spending freeze" after having dramatically increased spending for the last two years. His starting point was zero! A few weeks ago, Senate Democrats insisted they would accept no more than $10 billion in spending cuts. Anything beyond that was denounced as "extreme" and "draconian." In two months time, we've gone from no spending cuts to nearly $40 billion in cuts.
• Keep in mind that we're talking about spending for the final six months of the 2011 fiscal year. Over a year's time, that would amount to nearly $80 billion in spending cuts -- close to the target of $100 billion and not bad for a party that controls only half of one-third of the federal government.
• Depending how they are structured, $40 billion in cuts could lower the "baseline budget" for future spending. This deal may prevent hundreds of billions of dollars of additional spending over a 10-year period. That is "real money."
• John Boehner saved the D.C. school voucher program with this deal. The real irony here is that Obama talks a lot about education and innovation, yet he is so beholden to his union allies that he shut down the popular D.C. school voucher program, forcing many of Washington, D.C.'s inner-city kids to stay in failing public schools. Thanks to Speaker Boehner many of them will now have a better education and a brighter future.
• The deal also blocks additional money sought by the Obama Administration for the IRS; bans taxpayer dollars from paying for abortions in the District of Columbia; and forces Harry Reid to allow votes in the Senate on defunding Planned Parenthood and ObamaCare.

Now that we have a deal on the 2011 budget, we can turn to far greater issues like the debt ceiling and entitlement reform, where the debate will involve trillions, not billions. You can read my thoughts about Paul Ryan's proposal in my weekly Human Events column.


Obama Responds

If you needed more proof of which side won the debate, we got it Friday night when Obama delivered a speech from the White House with the Washington Monument in the background. While celebrating a deal that would keep the Monument open, Obama went on to sound like Ronald Reagan -- taking credit for signing a "tax cut for American families" as well as "the biggest annual spending cut in history."

Obama wouldn't take credit for these spending cuts unless the White House's polling unit was telling him that the American people were solidly behind them. He is embracing these cuts for purely political reasons. Obama will never win over the Tea Party movement, but he is desperately trying to make up ground with independent voters as the 2012 election approaches.

This week, Obama will reportedly respond to Paul Ryan's "Path to Prosperity" plan by releasing his own outline for dealing with the nation's long-term fiscal problems. While there are rumors that he may embrace some kind of entitlement reform, his top aides are insisting that tax hikes are a big part of Obama's plan.

As he looks toward 2012, Obama is looking to the future by taking out old pages from the Democrat playbook. In the days ahead, we will hear more populist calls for class warfare and higher taxes on the rich. Democrats often refuse to define "rich" until it's time to rewrite the tax laws. Then they settle on a figure that includes most of the middle class.

But in their zeal to punish success, Democrats expose their ignorance of fundamental economics. Liberals don't understand that government does not create jobs. Poor people don't start businesses. Jobs are created by men and women who have capital to invest. Ours is a consumer-driven economy, but the more government takes, the less you have to spend. That is why reducing government spending is so important to future economic growth. The more Republicans can connect those issues, the better.


2012 Race Heats Up

In a recent interview about life in the White House, President Obama said, "I just miss being anonymous." Trust me, Mr. President, a lot of Americans would like to forget about you too! I hope next year they will give you the chance to play as much golf as you would like. Meanwhile, the GOP presidential nominating race continues to gain momentum. Here is a quick rundown.

• Today, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney formally jumped into the race, announcing the formation of a presidential exploratory committee. According to the latest USA Today poll, Romney is in a strong position in the key swing state of Florida.
• This weekend, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum won a big straw poll in South Carolina's largest county. Newt Gingrich finished second, while Michele Bachmann and Donald Trump tied for third. (More on Trump in a moment.)
• Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty signed on Nick Ayers as his campaign manager. This is significant because last year Ayers served as the executive director of the Republican Governors Association under Haley Barbour, whom Ayers had been expected to support.
• Donald Trump continues to go where no major candidate will by demanding to see Obama's birth certificate. He has reportedly sent investigators to Hawaii. People are divided over whether this is a productive issue or not. Interestingly, however, the White House is attacking Trump, rather than ignoring him. Meanwhile, media elites are having nervous breakdowns over the fact that they just cannot make this issue go away.

I'm interested in your feedback. This weekend I spoke at an event for the Family Research Council and hosted a private reception at my home. I was surprised by the number of strong conservatives at both events who were open to Trump's candidacy. What do you think about Donald Trump? Is he a serious contender for the White House or a shameless self-promoter? Use this link to respond.

Rep.Steve King Sees Missed Opportunity in Budget Deal; Moving in Right Direction, Boehner Says
(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) says there's "no question" that government spending cuts are necessary and "long overdue," but he laments that the almost $39 billion in spending cuts agreed to late Friday were achieved in exchange for continued funding of the Democrats' health care law. House Speaker John Boehner agrees the deal struck late Friday was "imperfect," but he sees it as a "first step toward getting spending under control."

'Make No Mistake: I Oppose This Negotiated Deal,' Says Michele Bachmann
 (CNSNews.com) - Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), who leads the Tea Party Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives, expressed adamant opposition to the spending deal agreed to late Friday night by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and President Barack Obama. "It does not: Cut enough spending, stop funding Planned Parenthood, or defund Obamacare," she tweeted on Saturday.

Hillary Clinton to Address U.S.-Islamic Gathering in Washington

Arab Regimes Want 'No-Fly' Zone Over Gaza, But Silent on Bloodshed in Syria
 (CNSNews.com) - The 22-member Arab League on Sunday urged the U.N. Security Council to enforce a "no-fly" zone over the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, a call that stands in sharp contrast to its silence on the situation in Syria, where rights groups say more than 170 people have been killed in anti-government unrest since mid-March.

Boehner-Obama Deal Permits Funding for Group That Does 910 Abortions A Day
 (CNSNews.com) - The deal on federal spending that House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) cut with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and President Barack Obama late Friday night permits federal funding to continue for Planned Parenthood, a group that does an average of 910 abortions per day. The Boehner-Obama deal includes a provision for a symbolic vote in the U.S. Senate on a stand-alone bill that would specifically prohibit federal funding of Planned Parenthood.

Debt Jumped $54.1 Billion in 8 Days Preceding Boehner-Obama Deal to Cut $38.5 Billion for Rest of Year
 (CNSNews.com) - The federal debt increased $54.1 billion in the eight days preceding the deal made by President Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker John Boehner to cut $38.5 billion in federal spending for the remainder of fiscal year 2011, which runs through September. Since the beginning of the fiscal year on Oct. 1, 2010, the national debt has increased by $653.4 billion.

$38.5B Cuts in Boehner-Obama Deal Less Than 6 Percent of $653.4B In Debt Incurred Already This Fiscal Year
 (CNSNews.com) - The deal includes $38.5 billion in spending cuts, or just under 6 percent of the $653.4 billion in increased debt the government already has incurred this fiscal year, which started on Oct. 1, 2010.

Pence's Stand: No Funding for Planned Parenthood or Obamacare
 (CNSNews.com) - Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) -- who rose to national prominence when he stood up against the leaders of his own party in opposing President George W. Bush's Medicare prescription drug plan - did not back down from his position that a continuing resolution to fund the government for the rest of this fiscal year must not only cut $61 billion from federal spending but must also defund Obamacare and Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood Did One Abortion Every 95 Seconds-As Many in One Year as Live In Cincinnati 
 (CNSNews.com) - Planned Parenthood performed 332,278 abortions in the United States in 2009, according to a fact sheet the group published last month. That is about as many as the 333,012 people who lived in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, in 2009, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Rand Paul Would Consider Running for President If His Father Doesn't
 (CNSNews.com) - The only firm commitment that Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) will make about the 2012 presidential race is that he won't challenge his father Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) for the GOP nomination. But if his father doesn't run, the son believes the tea party"needs to have a voice at the table."

Schumer: Senate Will 'Never, Never, Never' Defund Planned Parenthood
 (CNSNews.com) - Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) vowed that the provision to defund Planned Parenthood that passed the House earlier this year is "never, never, never going to pass the Senate."

COMMENTARY:

The Iranian Armageddon
 By Alan Caruba
In the months and years leading up to the beginning of World War Two, all the parties knew full well Hitler's intention to start a war. History is repeating itself.  Iran's crazed ayatollahs intend to secure nuclear weapons capability and everyone knows that when they do, they will attack Israel. They have never ceased to call for its destruction. It is not a question of if, but when.

Barry in the Middle
 By Rich Galen
The deal to head off a government shutdown Friday night got done because a guy named Barry Jackson said it was done. Jackson is House Speaker John Boehner's chief of staff, and a force to be reckoned with.

3. Climate Change and Renewable Energy

Thursday, April 28, The Moose, Doylestown, PA

The News Media bombards us daily with warnings about the dire consequences of climate change. Rising seas, hurricanes, droughts and floods are projected results of man-made global warming. Political leaders, academics, scientists, and the United Nations have placed mankind on a course to try to stop global warming.

But is all this really correct? Contrary to popular Consensus, Steve Goreham, Executive Director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and author of Climatism! Science, Common Sense, and the 21^st Century's Hottest Topic, will argue that global warming is due to natural cycles of the Earth and not greenhouse gas emissions. Our Federal and State governments are pursuing policies that won't affect the climate but will have a major negative impact on

each American Citizen.

This Discussion is not to be missed! Please join us and you will learn what you can do to influence the debate with your elected officials!

4. Local Candidates Forum

Thursday, May 12, The Moose, Doylestown, PA

We are still working out the details and inviting candidates, but this will be a great opportunity to meet patriots who have stood up to be counted - literally - and are looking to serve on local school boards, county row offices and municipal positions. We'll provide more information as we get closer to the date.

We look forward to seeing you all at each of these events.

Yours in Liberty,
The Kitchen Table Patriots 

Below is a link of a must-watch video on why impeachment of Obama must begin.  After watching, read the Articles of Impeachment on the second link. Read them slowly and carefully.  If you agree, call your Congressman or woman and let them know you support impeachment.

The moment has come.

Constitutional attorney Bruce Fein drafted Articles of Impeachment that are being circulated in the House of Representatives right now. Please read every line of these Articles of Impeachment. Very thorough research and many damning quotes build a very strong case.

The essential points of this constitutionally-mandated impeachment of Barry Soetoro, a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama, are as follows:

1) Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution states that only Congress can declare war on another country.

2) Obama declared war, and then is actually engaging in war, against Libya, (1) without Congressional approval or even consultation; (2) Libya has not declared war on the United States; and (3) Obama is following orders from the United Nations to engage in war, rather than Congress and the American people.

3) Obama consulted only with the Arab League and the United Nations before conducting and engaging war against Libya, not the U.S. Congress.

4) Obama has no authority under the Constitution, or even the War Powers Act, to declare and engage in war against another country.

5) The War Powers Act, even if constitutional (which many say is not) allows a president to engage in military actions against another country only if that country has attacked the United States, if that foreign country is an imminent threat to attack the United States, or if Congress has authorized the president to take military action. None of those three conditions are present. Obama and his adminstration admit that.

Instead, Obama's adminstration has stated that Libya is not a threat to the US and that the reason Obama has declared and conducted war against Libya is to ensure that the United Nations has "credibility."

(6) Barry Soetoro, a/k/a Obama, has committed "other high crimes and misdemeanors" and possibly treason and therefore must be impeached.

7) If Congress fails to act and impeach Obama then he has effectively annulled the Constitution and declared himself dictator.

Get educated and wake up.

Please carefully read these Articles of Impeachment in the link below. There is outstanding research and many damning quotes in these Articles of Impeachment.

Obama is testing how far he can go in ignoring the Constitution to usurp power and declare himself dictator.

Please forward this link to your federal Representative and Senators and to your state representatives.

It is only with strong voices and an outcry for action that justice can be done. There is no limit to the unconstitutional actions that Obama will take if Congress fails to act on this blatant disregard for the United States Constitution, United States law, and our representative system of checks and balances.

Changing the Culture of Washington

This Congress was sent to Washington with a simple mandate from the American people: cut federal spending and get government under control. Friday night's budget compromise to avert a government shutdown embraced these principles, but also left plenty of work to be done. Congress has finally started cutting spending instead of running up the tab on future generations, and we hope the budget deal changed the culture of Washington. No longer should budgets be railroaded through Washington that increase spending and grow government. From here on out, the question should be: What can be cut?

America's Choice  European Social Democratic Welfare State  model

or American Constitutional Republic, Limited, with Checks and Balances on Power,  under the Rule of Law based on Judaeo Christian Values.

Charles Krauthammer discussed the Great Debate  at Pennsylvania Leadership Conference, April 9, 2011.

Has the American Experiment Failed? Will we be able to keep a Constitutional Limited Representative Republic  based on Rule of Law and the protection of Individual Liberty? Will Americans choose the European Social Democratic Welfare State?

"I'll predict that, barring some dramatic event in the lead-up to election that makes Obama look like an idiot and his Republican opponent look like a genius, Obama will win re-election. I'll further predict that his re-election will not have coattails, and the Republicans will gain in the House and the Senate.  Americans in general are very worried about the deficit and the stability of the dollar. At the same time, 48% of the earning population pays no income taxes at all, and receive some sort of government aid. Half of those who work for a living work in jobs that are dependent on government money. Most of those working in jobs dependent on government money earn enough to pay income taxes. Combine those who pay no taxes (and are on some form of welfare) with those who work in government-supported jobs, and you have 75% of the population. Acting in their self-interest, enough of those will vote for Obama to re-elect him. Also acting in their self-interest, enough will vote for Republicans in House and Senate to keep some form of emergency brake on increases in Federal spending. Americans like a divided government." Bill Wheatley, Lower Merion Committeeman

The Foundation

"Very many and very meritorious were the worthy patriots who assisted in bringing back our government to its republican tack. To preserve it in that, will require unremitting vigilance." --Thomas Jefferson

Opinion in Brief

Democrat government spending

"One of the things that fascinate me about American politics is how the voices of the voters as registered in elections and polls are transformed into changes in public policy. It's a rough-and-ready process, with plenty of trial and error. But for all its imperfections, the political market seems to work. ... [One] development was House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's unveiling of his budget resolution. Ryan did what President Obama's fiscal commission did in December but what Obama himself signally failed to do in his budget in February: address the long-term unsustainability of entitlements, specifically Medicare and Medicaid. Every serious analyst knows that these programs are on a trajectory to balloon government to a share of gross domestic product unprecedented except in World War II. The fiscal commission proposed both increased taxes and program changes that would cut spending. Ryan proposed such program changes plus other spending and tax cuts. The House seems sure to pass Ryan's budget, and Republican presidential candidates are likely to embrace similar proposals. This would not have happened -- and didn't happen during the Bush years -- but for public reaction to the Obama Democrats' policies." --political analyst Michael Barone

Political Futures

"Obama has been running for president since his first day in the Senate. All through his presidency, he has been running for re-election. His filing the other day was a mere formality. The problem with the chronic campaigner is that, though he is a swell candidate, he is a lousy chief executive. He cannot sit still, as in an office. My guess is that Obama has spent less time in the White House than his predecessor. Now he will be on the campaign trail full time. So maybe Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., will run the country. In unveiling his budget for 2012, he has shown that he is serious about facing the tremendous budget crunch ahead. Some conservatives are dismayed that his budget still would add $8 trillion of debt. It would not balance the budget for 20 years. That just emphasizes how deep a hole we are in! Ryan's plan is the most serious effort to reform government since ... well, since the chronic campaigner came along." --columnist R. Emmett Tyrrell

Social Security is an entitlement!

THIS SENIOR CITIZEN NAILED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming , Co-Chair of Obama's

deficit commission, calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared "Social Security" to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats. August, 2010.

Here's a response in a letter from a unknown fellow in Montana ...

I think he is a little ticked off!   He also tells it like it is !

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight..

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public

    dole for FIFTY YEARS.

2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).

3. My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch

of zero ambition losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud.

4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown ,you and your ilk pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age 67. 

NOW, you and your shill commission is proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

5  I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One,and now you morons propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare to pay

the bills.

6.  I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again.

Why?

Because you incompetent bastards spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.

To add insult to injury,you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" on your incompetence.

Well,Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for

YOU.

1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?

2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual

retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?

3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4.  What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal,or, as usual,have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the "greedy" ones. 

It is you and your fellow nutcases who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal,patriotic taxpayers.  And for what?  Votes.  That's

right,sir.  You and yours have bankrupted America   for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers. 

You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.

And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.

If you like the way things are in America , delete this. 

If you agree with what a fellow Montana citizen says, 

PASS IT ON!!!!

Although the House of Representatives is supposed to have 72 hours to review legislation, I have been informed by sources on the Hill that the weekend's "compromise" budget may not be available to congressional staff until almost midnight tonight.

With a House vote expected Wednesday, that's less than 48 hours to read (and debate) a critical bill that would keep America on its current disastrous course.

In other words, it's business as usual in Washington, D.C.

During a time where you and I face shouldering the burden for an over $14 trillion national debt (with almost another $2 trillion deficit this year alone), the weekend's so-called "historic" compromise was yet another move to dodge leadership.

In case you missed it, I hope you'll take a moment to read C4L's reaction to the White House's proposal below, which lays out several changes our elected officials would immediately implement if they were actually serious about ending America's debt crisis and securing a prosperous future.

Then, I hope you'll take two steps today to help Campaign for Liberty fight back against half measures and the leadership's lack of willpower to do what's right.

First, please contact your representative and senators right away. Tell them to reject this latest attempt to kick the can down the road and to instead enact the bold solutions C4L is proud to champion to truly address our nation's challenges.

Next, please contribute $10, $25, $50, or whatever you can afford to ensure Campaign for Liberty can keep fighting at full strength on all fronts.

Only your continued support allows us to take on an ever-expanding, increasingly reckless government that wants to control every aspect of our lives.

In Liberty,

John Tate
President

  

Corbett/Zogby v. Penn State Spanier Corman 

The Forgotten Taxpayer's Friend  Charles Zogby, Pennsylvania's Secretary of the Budget, may be Tom Corbett's most significant and most effective appointment. It is Secretary Zogby's intelligence, insight and skills as a politician, in the best sense of the word, that will enable Gov. Tom Corbett to keep his promises to The Forgotten Taxpayer.

On the other side of the ledger, lobbying from the inside for $6 Billion  Big Business Penn State Corporation is the Budget Secretary's nemesis  Sen. Jake Corman of State College Pennsylvania and State Senate "Republican" Chair of the State Senate Appropriations Committee. Aided, of course, by Sen. Dominic "Corbett Won't Be Able to Keep His  No-Tax Pledgee" Pileggi.(maybe because Pileggi-Corman will do what they can).

Donald Trump an American for America  Will we vote for someone who is better than we are or will we vote for someone who, authentically, cares about us?

NEWSMAX Poll has some good news for Donald Trump 

Elaine Guzzardi, the quintessential, real world, average voter,  lives in West Palm Beach, several miles from Donald Trump's Key Largo estate. I have learned to listen to Elaine who feels and thinks, authentically, what the average, living day to day,  American common sense voter thinks and feels. Real world, common sense American Voter Elaine Guzzardi picks the brash and defiantly independent and entrepreneurial Donald Trump as the man to beat Barack Obama in 2012. And, in a political campaign, the most important person is the Voter, not the consultants, pundits, pollsters, donors. It is the Voter who wins elections.

As a former resident of Manhattan and with a Manhattan American's cosmopolitan live and left live modus vivendi, she has knows the below the radar stories about Donald Trump and his negatives. Donald Trump is a good dad and that makes a difference to mothers, like Elaine.

Donald Trump is, clearly, independent of any special interests, which scares the breath out of Establishment's of both parties, and Donald Trump, personally, created jobs. And Jobs and the Economy are the issue. Real world, common sense people know the economy is tanking as food and fuel prices rise every week.

Bet everything you have. Right now. Who wins in 2012 and I think that you think Barack Obama. Americans like our divided government  although some of us like our government shut down better J

Whenever the mood takes you, call up liberal friends

and read them random chunks of Newsweek's Evan Thomas's gushing response on MSNBC to the Obamessiah's Cairo surrender speech. Make them cringe and writhe with lines like: "I think the President's speech yesterday was the reason we Americans elected him. It was grand. It was positive. Hopeful... But what I liked about the President's speech in Cairo was that it showed a complete humility... The question now is whether the President we elected and spoke for us so grandly yesterday can carry out the great vision he gave us and to the world"; and "He's going to bring all different sides together... Obama is trying to sort of temper everything down. He doesn't even use the word terror. He uses extremism. It's all about let us reason together... He's the teacher. He's going to say, 'Now, children, stop fighting and quarreling with each other.' And he has a kind of moral authority that he-he can-he can do that."

On Monday's Program 

Lib logic: Regulations needed to keep internet free

George Soros hosted a conference this weekend and it was attended by pretty much everyone who has ever landed on a Glenn Beck chalkboard. The billionaire, politicians and other prominent activists plotted to restructure the globe, reform the media and 'free' the internet. The over the top moment came from Congressman Ed Markey - the 'brains' behind the Cap & Trade bill - who claimed the GOP wants to 'destroy the whole wide world'. And Glenn is the fear monger? Watch the comments and Glenn's reaction HERE.

Glenn talks about his future with Bill O'Reilly

 The media and the Sorosphere (blogs run by Soros) have a delusional belief that Glenn's influence has somehow been diminished. Glenn responded to the ridiculous media reports in epic fashion (watch the classic takedowns HERE) -- and he spoke more about what his plans are for the future with Bill O'Reilly. Watch that interview HERE.

Communists protest at Glenn's comedy show

Glenn is smack in the middle of his latest tour - the show is a comedy show that Glenn likes to call the 'elegant eliminations' tour and it's off to a tremendous start. But not everyone is happy - Communists showed up in North Carolina to protest Glenn's arrival. Commies generally aren't happy people, as evidenced by the tens of millions communists have killed throughout history, but they tried to liven this protest up with some catchy chants. All that did was further cement Communism's place in history as an EPIC FAILURE - get the full story HERE.  Find out if Glenn is coming to your city HERE and check out exclusive photos and videos from the road HERE. 

Media Matters embarrasses themselves yet again re: Beck

For an organization that George Soros pays a LOT of money to (and 86 people) just to post a couple of blogs each day about 1 guy (and much of the time it's far less than a blog - they just post clips of Glenn with no commentary. Hey, isn't that stealing?) you'd think they'd have the basic facts down. Glenn has the audio of a MMFA dolt completely botching his Beck history, and proving MMFA's attempts to 'build talent' are off to a dreadful start. Get the full story at GlennBeck.com.

Who is Glenn's 2012 fav?

Glenn & Co go over a few of the 2012 possibilities for conservatives, which should be optimistic given the latest polls show less than 20% 'strongly approve' of Obama. But Obama has the approval of the most important constituency: the media. As long as they love him, it's an uphill battle for any opponent. Who does Glenn like? Find out on radio today. 

Jesus statue burned to the ground in Minnesota

A man who was once persecuted in his native country just for being a Christian had his precious monument to Jesus burned down recently. Not surprisingly, the media is not exactly outraged (read: silent) about this one. But when someone draws a cartoon about Mohammed? Muslims are being discriminated against! Get the full story at The Blaze.
