Activate: How to turn the 2012 election from a close call to a mandate

• I want to make sure I'm registered to vote and adopt a schlub friend. CLICK HERE
• I commit to registering FOUR schlub friends CLICK HERE
• I commit to be a part of the global Tea Party movement the week of Restoring Love: FreePac &Constitutional Conference
• I want to join a team - 9/12 Project, FreedomWorks, or a local Tea Party

Last night, Glenn focused on the importance of commitment. He was the first to admit, a lot of last night's show was something you had heard before - but it's important to start at the beginning and to make sure you know what you believe before you get put into action. And tonight, Glenn revealed ways for you to really get moving! 

Tonight, the focus of the show was "Activate" - and it was all about the election and how you can make sure that one way or another - 2012 is a year for a mandate for or against the progressives. And if you think it doesn't matter just take a look at what is happening right now in Wisconsin. Progressives and unions are doing everything they can to make sure that Walker loses. It's a microcosm to what is happening around the country, and Glenn thought it was so important that he recapped it on tonight's show (in under three minutes!):

ANNOUNCING THE VALLEY FORGE PATRIOTS MONTHLY MEETING

FRIDAY, JULY 13, 6:00PM

AT THE PHOENIXVILLE COUNTRY CLUB

How well do you know our PA Constitution? Have you heard about LOST and the potential UN tax on the US? Need to know more about health care exchanges and smart meters? Please join us, be informed, learn more!

William Taylor Reil will talk to us about the "Declaration of Rights" in the Pennsylvania Constitution and the 9th and 10th amendments in our U.S. Constitution and how some in government deny us our rights.

We will be discussing the Treaty of the Sea (LOST)which, if ratified, threatens  American sovereignty. On the state level, we will dig into health care exchanges that may be developed in our Commonwealth and the reasons why this is not a good idea.

There will be letters to our federal legislators asking them not to ratify the Treaty of the Sea (LOST) and letters to our state legislators asking them to NOT develop health care exchanges in support of Obamacare in PA.

This is followed by open mic so bring your thoughts and ideas.

Free parking, food and drink available for cash.

Join Us on Fridays and Take a Stand for Israel:    

By allowing our attention to be focused exclusively on the danger and prevention of terrorism, we ignore the many other ways we are being attacked. Specifically, we are missing what our Islamist enemies call their 'civilization jihad' - a form of warfare that employs manipulative financial techniques, lawfare, infiltration of our civil institutions and government and insidious information dominance. Together, these have the effect of exploiting our liberties and governing structures against us, so that our leaders wind up imposing the very anti-American values that our enemies promote.

Welcome to The Muslim Brotherhood in America: The Enemy Within - a 10-part, web-based video briefing that is designed to explain why and how this is happening.

It addresses a threat most Americans are unaware even exists within our country, let alone the degree of peril it represents.
The threat is the totalitarian, supremacist Islamic doctrine its adherents call "shariah" and the organized, disciplined and increasingly successful efforts by such adherents-- most especially the Muslim Brotherhood-- to bring it here.

We are making this course available in the hope of encouraging, informing and broadening support for national efforts to defeat the insinuation into this country of shariah's anti-constitutional and seditious program.  

Muslim Brotherhood in America: The Overview

An extremely important movie is coming this summer - Dinesh D'Souza - Obama & 2016

Dinesh D'Souza is author of many New York Times best sellers.  The movie is from Gerald R. Molen, producer of Academy Award Winning Schindler's List.

It explains in plain language who Barack Obama really is, what he stands for, and the dangers of him being reelected for another four years.

Watch this short informative video preview of this movie and share it with others.  It has already been seen by over 2,100,000 people.  Within a very short time it will have been seen by millions!  After you see the preview, listen to what Dinesh has to say about Obama.  Please take the time to hear this and pass it on.

"Losing our Sons": Documentary looks at domestic Islamic radicalization and jihadization

Charles Jacobs at Americans for Peace and Tolerance announced today the release of a trailer for their upcoming documentary, "Losing Our Sons", featuring Melvin Bledsoe - father of domestic terrorist Carlos Bledsoe aka Abdulhakim Mohamed who gunned down US Army recruiter Pvt. William Long at an Army-Navy recruiting center in Little Rock, Arkansas in June 2009. Melvin Bledsoe testified at the House Homeland Security Committee hearing earlier this month.

The upcoming documentary discusses how Bledsoe was radicalized by the Muslim Student Association in Tennessee and sent to terrorist training in Yemen with the written recommendation of the imam of a Nashville mosque. It also discusses how the agents of radicalization in the Nashville Muslim community have been aided by collaborators in the establishment media, politics and the so-called "interfaith" community.

A Reader 

Hillsdale College is a private, coeducational, residential, liberal arts college with approximately 1,400 students. Founded in 1844, the College remains, in the words of its Articles of Association, "grateful to God for the inestimable blessings resulting from the presence of civil and religious liberty and intelligent piety" in our nation, and dedicated to "the diffusion of sound learning" that is "essential to the perpetuity of these blessings."

Hillsdale College is distinguished by its rigorous core curriculum, by its principled rejection of federal and state taxpayer funding, and by the pledge of its Board of Trustees to resists any attempts by the government to regulate its internal affairs.

Hillsdale College promotes the principles of liberty nationwide through its national speech digest, Imprimis, which has a monthly circulation of over 2 million, and through several outreach programs. In 2008, Hillsdale launched its Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship in Washington, D.C. The College will also launch the Hillsdale Graduate School of Statesmanship in fall 2012.

A Short History of Congress's Power to Tax
By Paul Moreno

"In 1935, Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins was fretting about finding a constitutional basis for the Social Security Act. Supreme Court Justice Harlan Fiske Stone advised her, "The taxing power, my dear, the taxing power. You can do anything under the taxing power."
 
Last week, in his ObamaCare opinion, NFIB v. Sebelius, Chief Justice John Roberts gave Congress the same advice-just enact regulatory legislation and tack on a financial penalty, as in failure to comply with the individual insurance mandate. So how did the power to tax under the Constitution become unbounded?"

Dr. Moreno is the William and Berniece Grewcock Professor of Constitutional History at Hillsdale College.

From July 16 through July 18, 2012, Christians United for Israel will be holding its 7th Annual Washington Summit. We're going back to stand with Israel in our nation's capital. This year - more than ever - we need you to join us!

In the coming months, critical decisions are going to be made about Iran, Israel and the world. Finally, Washington is beginning to focus on the issue of a nuclear Iran. Many of our leaders want to confront this looming threat. But others want to keep kicking the can down the road. The debate is far from over.

• We know that when thousands of CUFI activists arrive in DC and on Capitol Hill, we can change the conversation.
• We can remind our leaders that a nuclear Iran is not only a threat to Israel, but to the US as well. And we can demonstrate to our elected officials that their constituents care enough about this issue to show up at their DC offices.
• We know that we can create a sense of immediacy that's otherwise lacking.
• We know that the more of us who show up and speak out -- the louder our voice and the greater our impact.

We stand at a critical juncture in history. Don't be silent! Don't miss your chance to make a difference! Don't pass up your opportunity to defend America and bless Israel!

Our leaders need to remember that we are watching them and we need to remember that God is watching us.

Victory Center" on Facebook

-Gabriel Malor

Last week I had the opportunity to get a sneak-peek at the RNC's new Facebook application. Designed, in the words of one RNC staffer to "take our message where the people are," the Social Victory Center app will, among other things, hook users up with campaign news targeted based on their location and preferences (which Facebook already knows, of course), let users join volunteer efforts, distribute voter registration forms, and provide an online phone bank, all without leaving the Facebook website. It will also, if users wish, put those activities on the user's Facebook wall, letting their friends see what they're up to and, hopefully, encouraging them to join in.

It's an attempt to leverage Facebook's popularity in a new way and, at the moment, the Democrats have nothing like it. The Social Victory Center was unveiled to the public yesterday, so if you're on Facebook, check it out. As the general election ramps up, check back for volunteer activities as they're added. Also, like I did in 2008, I'll be pushing online phone banking in the final weeks of the election, only this time the RNC will have done the heavy-lifting that the McCain team wasn't too keen on.

RedState Morning Briefing

For July 12, 2012

BREAKING from yesterday afternoon:

There's some important news RedState has just uncovered that I don't think can wait until tomorrow's morning briefing to put in front of you. 

Texas Lt. Governor David DewCrist's ... errr ... Dewhurst's Senate campaign might have just crossed a line it should not have crossed. Who else would be behind the Lt. Governor's taxpayer funded website for his Lieutenant Governor's Office suddenly deleting the transcript of a speech proving David Dewhurst has been lying about his position on illegal aliens?

The speech is . . . well . . . it is gone. Poof. 

Again, the website is taxpayer funded and the document suddenly no longer there directly contradicted Dewhurst's present statements on immigration in the Senate campaign.

Now, David Dewhurst adamantly claims that he opposes amnesty - even calling the recent Obama plan to grant permits to illegals who came here as children "nothing short of backdoor amnesty by executive fiat and a blatant political ploy."

But there is one very big problem... He is lying and then covering up the facts that prove he is lying.

We've uncovered the details, the original press coverage, and a screen shot of what David Dewhurst's taxpayer funded website had until his official position started conflicting with his present campaign position.

Click right here for all the details.  And consider supporting Ted Cruz.

Sincerely yours,

Erick Erickson
Editor,RedState.com

1. Jim Jordan Will Be At The RedState Gathering. Will You?

The leader of the conservatives in the United States House of Representatives, Jim Jordan (R-OH), is coming to the RedState Gathering.

Congressman Jordan is the Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, which often fights the Republican Leadership from the right. It's a tough job and he handles it well. Future Indiana Governor Mike Pence was once the RSC Chairman, along with Congressmen Jeb Hensarling and Tom Price.

Jim Jordan fights day in and day out for smaller government and often fights the pro-life statists within the Republican Party to get the job done.

Come give him a round of applause and hear what he has to say at the RedState Gathering. Time is running out to register. Go to www.redstategathering.com right now to register.

I hope to see you there.

2. Will Conservatives Be Paper Tigers After This Primary Season?

I look at Texas and see David Dewhurst pouring in money to beat Ted Cruz. A new poll is out and the race is very tight, but Dewhurst has a huge money advantage.

Unfortunately, conservative organizations that have stood with Cruz are not pouring in the money he needs to be able to win.

I look at North Carolina and see pretty much every Republican squish in Congress pouring money into the race for Richard Hudson while so many conservative groups are on the sidelines for Scott Keadle. Only the Club For Growth seems to be fighting hard for him.

I see all the Super PACs gearing up to fight for Mitt Romney, but too few are fighting for conservatives. Jim DeMint cannot do it all by himself. Neither can the Club for Growth.

I see a conservative movement sitting on the sidelines offering nice tokens of support, but only tokens. There are races to be won and conservatives are twiddling their thumbs.

3. Clinton-era Environmental Rules Increased Wildfire Risks in Colorado

Environmental regulations restricting the construction of forest access roads have limited the ability of the Forest Service to clear combustible brush and trees, adding dangerous fuel to the wildfires that have ravaged Colorado this summer. The so-called "roadless rule," which was first implemented in 2001 by President Clinton shortly before he left office, restricts and in many cases prohibits local and federal officials from building and maintaining roads that allow firefighters to clear out growth that could instantly become tinder for a new fire.

4. WHOOPS: DCCC Lets 35 of 75 Oppo Books Slip Through "Back Door"

Opposition research is the grist of stark contrasts, fine tuned messages, and yes, even negative campaign tactics. And usually it is a closely guarded secret. An opponent's record matters in a race, and a good campaign will accumulate as much information as possible about an opponent and strategically time the release of that information to maximize their position and weaken their opponent. The Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee has made opposition research an increasingly central part of its role in Democrat congressional campaigns nationwide.

Less than two months after the DCCC gave Roll Call exclusive access to some of its opposition research meetings but prohibited the paper from mentioning the names of targeted Republicans, Media Trackers obtained 35 of the projected total of 75 opposition research notebooks. The digital tomes, ranging from a few dozen to hundreds of pages in length, are a treasure trove of talking points and attacks that the public can expect Democrats and their allies to level at Republican candidates ahead of November.

5. Attack Obamacare on All Fronts: Repeal, Defund, Disrupt

The House voted today to fully repeal Obamacare. It is important that we keep Obamacare at the forefront of the debate, but we must also act in a meaningful way to disrupt its implementation. The more smoothly this behemoth is enacted, the harder it will be to repeal. To that end, we turn to the 29 Republican governors to lead the way.

6. The Southern Strategy Myth and the Lost Majority

I recently finished reading Sean Trende's excellent book The Lost Majority, which is a must-read for anyone attempting to intelligently discuss its subject: how winning political coalitions are built, maintained and undone in the modern American two-party system. Trende covers a range of topics. At the level of political science theory, he dismantles the theory of periodic realigning elections. In his historical analysis, he may surprise you by arguing that the most enduring coalition of the past century was assembled not by McKinley, FDR, or Reagan but Dwight Eisenhower. Looking to the recent past and future, he convincingly demonstrates that Obama's 2008 coalition was always more fragile than Democrats at the time believed, and that there remain obstacles to the John Judis/Ruy Teixeira theory of an Emerging Democratic Majority. Trende's major point is that all such predictions of enduring partisan majorities (he cites many dating back over the past century and a half) ignore the fact that political coalitions inevitably draw together factions with different interests and ideologies, and frictions within those coalitions inevitably offer opportunities for the other party to regain support.

But one of the historical narratives that Trende covers in depth is of particular interest because it remains a crucial part of partisan mythology today: the enduring myth of the Southern Strategy.

7. David Dewhurst's Media Consultants Attack Ted Cruz and RedState *at* RedState

This is amazingly pathetic.

David Dewhurst's campaign gets his state government website altered to cover up his lying about his amnesty position.

What happens? His media consultants invade RedState to accuse Ted Cruz of supporting Chicoms and attack RedState for supporting Cruz.

In fact, this is not the first time Dewhurst's media consultants have done this.

Using the user name "Liberty Patriot," Dewhurst's consultants have dropped by four times to attack Ted Cruz at RedState.

Fast and Furious is not a D.C. law firm 

Most Americans don't care about whether Attorney General Eric Holder is hiding Fast and Furious documents because they don't understand the story.

Until someone can tell us otherwise, there is only one explanation for why President Obama's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives gave thousands of guns to Mexican drug dealers: It put guns in their hands to strengthen liberals' argument for gun control.

Precisely because this is such a jaw-dropping accusation - criminality at the highest level of government to score a political point - Republicans refuse to make it.

But the problem with Republican rectitude in discussing this scandal is that as soon as they start talking about subpoenas and dates and documents, TV channels change across America. They're never going to get answers unless they first explain to the American people why it matters.

Liberals have been dying to reinstate the so-called "assault weapons" ban, but they haven't been able to for political reasons. (For more information on this, see the 1994 congressional elections.)

Twitter could swing presidential vote in Pennsylvania 

Philadelphia Inquirer | By John Timpane | July 9, 2012 12:30 pm  

The Republican and Democratic parties think so. In this tight presidential race, a national battle is on. And the ammo includes thousands of tweets, 140-character messages shot off to hundreds of thousands of followers, a blizzard of news, talking points, zingers, datelines and instructions to the faithful.

Nowhere is it fiercer than in Pennsylvania. The commonwealth has lost 45 percent of its electoral clout since 1932, and it hasn't backed a GOP presidential candidate since 1988. But in a year when every electoral vote is golden, Republicans swear it's in play and Democrats are fighting as if it is.

In New Jersey, which is not considered a swing state, Twitter is but one among many media. In Pennsylvania, swinging like crazy, Twitter might be crucial.

As Kirsten Kukowski, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, says, Twitter "has become how news gets started, and how that news is amplified."

That sound you hear is Pennsylvania slipping away from the Democrats

Jul 11, 2012 06:13 am | Coach Collins

By Kevin "Coach" Collins

  When you hear talk about Barack Obama winning Pennsylvania in November remember that's all it is: "talk."  Obama won Pennsylvania 55/44 in 2008 beating the hapless John McCain by 620,478 votes. But that was then and this is now.

There are several serious obstacles to an Obama victory not the least of which is the Commonwealth's successful efforts to foreclose a large amount of Democrat voter fraud.

The Pennsylvania voter ID law has the potential to singlehandedly stop 750,000 fraudulent votes; more than enough to overcome Obama's margin in 2008 if all other factors were equal which they are not. 

Pennsylvania's Democrats are running in circles bumping into walls trying to figure out how they can get anything like the number of fraudulent voters they need to win. They realize relying on a court's finding that the law is unconstitutional is iffy at best. Pennsylvania's Photo ID to ...

By Bill Federer, staff writer

Millard Fillmore became the 13th President, JULY 10, 1850, when President Zachary Taylor died unexpectedly. President Millard Fillmore stated: "A great man has fallen among us and a whole country is called to...mourning...I dare not shrink; and I rely upon Him who holds in His hands the destinies of nations to endow me with the requisite strength for the task." President Millard Fillmore was remembered for sending Commodore Perry to open trade with Japan, admitting California, which had just begun the Gold Rush, into the Union as a free state, and when the Library of Congress caught fire, he and his Cabinet formed a bucket brigade to help extinguish the flames. After being sworn into office, President Millard Fillmore, who was a member of the Episcopal Church, stated: "The Sabbath day I always kept as a day of rest. Besides being a religious duty, it was essential to health. On commencing my Presidential ... Continue Reading:American Minute July 10

Obama warns Congress, "Don't threaten my power!"

Jul 10, 2012 01:00 pm | Coach Collins

by Doug Book,  staff writer

The National Defense Authorization Act of 2013 (NDAA) is making its way through Congress and if it is in any way different from last year's unconstitutional onslaught against the American public, it is only for the worse.

Last year, Congress overwhelmingly passed and Barack Hussein Obama signed into law the most egregious assault on due process rights in the nation's history. The NDAA of 2012 gave Obama unlimited authority to have members of the U.S. military detain any American citizen he suspected of posing a potential threat to the United States. According to the Act, such citizens face an indefinite period of imprisonment with no right of habeas corpus, no right to trial, no right to present proof of innocence and no method of appeal.

In his signing statement, Obama made a point of offering false and cynical protestations against this indefinite detention language, claiming his administration "...[would] not authorize without ... Continue Reading:Obama warns Congress, "Don't threaten my power!"

Kudos To Mitt Romney!

Governor Mitt Romney walked into the proverbial lion's den today and addressed what is undoubtedly one of Barack Obama's most loyal constituencies -- the NAACP. To his credit, Governor Romney didn't hold back. He took on Obama's pathetic record on the economy and said this:

"If our goal is jobs, we have to stop spending over a trillion dollars more than we take in every year. So to do that, I'm going to eliminate every non-essential, expensive program I can find. That includes ObamaCare..."

Not surprisingly, he was interrupted by a sustained chorus of boos at that point. Undeterred, Romney reminded the audience of a survey conducted by the Chamber of Commerce that found three-quarters of businesses said ObamaCare made them less likely to hire new workers.

In addition, Governor Romney addressed the urgent need for serious educational reform, and he also talked about family values and how out of wedlock births frequently lead to a life of poverty. Consider this excerpt:

"I'm hopeful that together we can set a new direction in federal policy, starting where many of our problems do - with the family. A study from the Brookings Institution has shown that for those who graduate from high school, get a full-time job, and wait until 21 before they marry and then have their first child, the probability of being poor is two percent. And if those factors are absent, the probability of being poor is 76 percent.

"Here at the NAACP, you understand the deep and lasting difference the family makes. Your former executive director, Dr. Benjamin Hooks, had it exactly right. The family, he said, 'remains the bulwark and the mainstay of the black community. That great truth must not be overlooked.' Any policy that lifts up and honors the family is going to be good for the country, and that must be our goal. As President, I will promote strong families -- and I will defend traditional marriage."

Good job, Governor!


Now, Brace Yourself

As we wrote yesterday, the Democrats play by different rules. A new left-wing group called "The Message" includes a former president of Media Matters and, not surprisingly, a former journalist for the New York Times. Its goal, according to a press release, is to "say things that Democrats are afraid to say."

The Message is making headlines for a video spoofing the Romney campaign's preparation for today's NAACP speech. In the video, a consultant tells Romney he is so white, "you make Wonder Bread look like pumpernickel." It also raises Romney's Mormon faith twice.

Have you heard anything about this group? Any condemnation from the Obama campaign or the liberal media?

Do you remember the wailing and gnashing of teeth a few weeks ago when the New York Times reported on a memo from a GOP consultant who wanted to make Jeremiah Wright an issue in this campaign? The GOP immediately went into damage control mode. Within hours, the Romney campaign denounced the ad idea and the consultant has had his life destroyed.

During a sermon in Washington, D.C., this weekend, Wright said that blacks educated in America's universities -- are infected with "white racist DNA running through the synapses of their under-brain tissue." He added that such blacks "will defend anyone who is perceived to be the enemy of the milky white way of life." Progressives can bring up Romney's faith and mock his race, but we're not supposed to talk about the fact that Barack Obama sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for nearly 20 years. The double standard has to end. Wake up, GOP!


Obama's Outsourcing Hypocrisy

For the past few weeks, the Obama campaign has been slamming Mitt Romney as a jobs "outsourcer." The Obama team is desperately trying to undermine one of Romney's main attributes -- his success as a businessman creating jobs in the private sector.

The Washington Post gave Obama's negative ad its worst rating of four Pinocchios, calling it "misleading, unfair and untrue." I'd add one more word: hypocritical.

As it turns out, there was a lot of outsourcing done thanks to the Obama Administration in recent years. Worse, you paid for it! Not only in terms of lost jobs, but also with your hard-earned tax dollars from Obama's so-called "stimulus bill."

You don't have to take my word for it. Check out this report by ABC News from last September. By the way, you'll probably have to sit through one of Obama's "misleading, unfair and untrue" ads labeling Romney an "outsourcer-in-chief" before you watch it!

But this just fits the pattern of lies and deception that have become so commonplace with this administration. Obama attacks banks and private companies for "speculating" with private dollars while he's making bad bets on Solyndra and other failed boondoggles with your money! He's trying to pass himself off as a middle class tax cutter, while he's really calling for massive tax hikes.


Rahmbo Talks Values

I about fell out of my chair watching a recent CBS interview with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. He was lamenting the values of Chicago's gang culture, as nearly three hundred people have been killed in Chicago this year, many of them kids. Emanuel said:

"It is about values. As I said then [when a 7-year-old girl was shot and killed last month], who raised you? How were you raised? And I don't buy this case where people say they don't have values. They do have values. They have the wrong values. Don't come near the kids -- don't touch them."

Well, he's asking the right questions, but sadly he can't come up with the right answers. Certainly these kids aren't getting their values from their fathers because they aren't around. For the past fifty years, his party has made it comfortable for many women not to have husbands in the home. Now Obama and the Democrats have embraced the radical idea of men "marrying" other men! How is that going to help the black family?

When Emanuel worked in the Clinton White House, the response to gang violence was midnight basketball programs. And, of course, it was around that time when Democrats and their media allies did their best to convince us that values really didn't matter.

The fact is values do matter. There is no government program that can make up for the breakdown of the family. And this election should be about more than just economics.


News You Won't Hear

Monday President Obama called on Congress to pass a one-year extension of the Bush tax cuts for those making less than $250,000, while raising taxes on everyone making more than $250,000. Today, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell went to the Senate floor and said, "My recommendation is we give the president what he asked for." Sen. McConnell asked for unanimous consent to hold a vote on Obama's plan to raise taxes.

But the vote never happened. Why not? Because Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid objected! Remind your liberal friends of that the next time they accuse Republicans of obstructing all of Obama's policies.

The Foundation

"Would it not be better to simplify the system of taxation rather than to spread it over such a variety of subjects and pass through so many new hands." --Thomas Jefferson

Editorial Exegesis

"So the 2013 tax cliff is a big enough economic problem that President Obama now wants to postpone it for some taxpayers. But it isn't so big that he's willing to curb his desire to raise taxes on tens of thousands of job-creating businesses. That's the essence of Mr. Obama's announcement Monday that he wants Congress to extend current tax rates for a year, but only for those making less than $200,000 a year. This is a political gambit designed to protect Democrats who are starting to feel queasy about opposing GOP plans to extend all of the Bush rates as the economy weakens again. ... If the Bush tax rates expire as scheduled on December 31, rates on the top two income brackets will jump to 39.6% from 35%, and 36% from 33%. Add the scheduled return of income phaseouts for exemptions and deductions, and the rates go up another two-percentage points -- to at least 41% and 35%. Mr. Obama claims this will merely return rates to what 'we were paying under Bill Clinton,' but that's not true either. It ignores his ObamaCare tax increase of 0.9% on top of the current 2.9% Medicare tax, plus a new 2.9% surcharge on investment income, including interest income. That's an additional 3.8% surcharge on investment income, and added to the Bush expirations would take the capital gains rate to 23.8% from 15% today, and the dividend tax rate to about 45% from 15%. ... Congress's Joint Tax Committee -- not a conservative outfit -- estimates that in 2013 about 940,000 taxpayers will have enough business income to meet Mr. Obama's tax increase threshold. And of the roughly $1.3 trillion in net business income, about 53% will get hit with the higher tax rates. This is because millions of businesses report their income as sole proprietors and subchapter S corporations that file under the individual tax code. So Mr. Obama wants these businesses to pay higher tax rates than the giant likes of General Electric or J.P. Morgan. Does that qualify as 'tax fairness'? ... Republicans can win this debate by stressing growth over fairness and jobs over income redistribution." --The Wall Street Journal 

Upright

"Remember in August 2009, when Obama supported extending the Bush tax cuts because, as he then put it, 'The last thing we want to do is raise taxes during a recession'? Well, here we are with 8.2% unemployment (we haven't been below 8% for 3-1/2 years), meager 1.9% average GDP growth with a very real threat of recession on the horizon, trillion-dollar deficits extending as far as the eye can see, and this is a good time to raise taxes? Doubly confusing is the fact that Obama and his Democrat allies are on the record as saying that the Bush tax cuts did not work. Yet he wants to extend them for the middle class, but only for a year. Please tell us, Mr. President, why extend tax cuts you don't believe worked?" --Investor's Business Daily

"This continues to be the longest streak -- 41 months -- of unemployment of 8% or higher since the Great Depression. And recall that back in 2009, Team Obama predicted that if Congress passed its $800 billion stimulus plan, the unemployment rate would be around 5.6% today. ... And there are few signs the rest of the year will be any better. And given a) how the eurocrisis is AGAIN flaring up, and b) China continues to slow, it sure seems like 2% growth and 8% unemployment is a best-case scenario with plenty of downside risk -- for the economy and the Obama campaign." --American Enterprise Institute columnist James Pethokoukis

"Barack Obama believes that politics is a knife fight, and the only rule is that he must win. His conduct reflects the unholy mix of a messiah complex with the muscle of The Chicago Way. His goal, he tells us, is to 'transform' America, not fix it. This culture clash explains a presidential campaign operating in parallel universes. Romney is making a broad pitch to the nation as a whole, assuming jobs, the debt, deficit and a strong military are what people care about because they should. Obama knows that's no longer true for a big slice of the country. He gives lip service to those issues, but they concern him only to the extent they could be his undoing." --columnist Michael Goodwin

"Both employers and consumers are convinced that these are uncertain times, when money is better hoarded and protected rather than risked, given the uncertainty of administration policy and the certainty that profit-making is looked upon as suspicious. And just as many believe there will be no let up until the end of 2012, so, too, they trust that after that date, the long-term outlook -- energy-wise, tax-wise, technology-wise -- is pretty good, suggesting that they should weather the current storm to be poised for its passing soon. We are now at an impasse: The nation is shrugging, and will the president try to coax it to start lifting again, or in petulance, add more weight?" --historian Victor Davis Hanson

Insight

"The purpose of education is to make the choices clear to people, not to make the choices for people." --American writer Peter McWilliams (1949-2000)

"There should be a tax on every man that wanted to get a government appointment, or be elected to office. In two years that tax alone would pay our national debt." --humorist Will Rogers (1879-1935)

The Demo-gogues

The BIG Lie: "[T]hese tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans are also the tax cuts that are least likely to promote growth." --Barack Obama

Blame game: "Instead of creating more jobs, we had the slowest job growth in half a century, and instead of widespread prosperity, the typical family saw its income fall." --Barack Obama blaming the Bush tax cuts for the economy

Class warfare: "So we don't need more top-down economics. We've tried that theory. We've seen what happens. We can't afford to go back to it." --Barack Obama

"So I'm not proposing anything radical. I just believe that anybody making over $250,000 a year should go back to the income tax rates we were paying under Bill Clinton. Back when our economy created nearly 23 million new jobs, the biggest budget surplus in history, and plenty of millionaires to boot. ... At the same time, most people agree that we should not raise taxes on middle-class families or small businesses -- not when so many folks are just trying to get by. " --Barack Obama

"Millionaires are just as patriotic as poor people. The very wealthy are just as noble and patriotic as the middle class. But nothing has been asked of them in this horrendous recession. And it's time we just ask." --Joe Biden

Slip of the tongue: "We need to have a tax code where secretaries aren't paying a lower tax rate than their bosses." --Barack Obama getting his own argument about the Buffet Rule backwards

On partisan bickering: "I suspect that most people ... would acknowledge that I've tried real hard, and we just haven't gotten the kind of willingness on the part of Republicans to engage on a whole range of issues that I wish had happened. Part of what I think needs to happen in this election is the voters once again have to send a message, 'We want common-sense ideas. We don't folks who are just sayin' no to everything.'" --Barack Obama explaining that it's all Republicans fault that he hasn't reached across the aisle

Unbelievable chutzpah: "What's important if you are running for president is that the American people know who you are and what you've done and that you're an open book." --Barack Obama calling on Mitt Romney to release various documents

Say what? "Republicans have changed the law so you get arrested if you do vote. ... No more compassionate conservatism, no more health care for everyone. ... They're saying exactly what they believe, and they mean it." --Joe Biden on Voter ID laws

Dezinformatsia

The wrong question: "All right, Congress is back to work ... after a Fourth of July recess. And in just two days, House Republicans plan to call a vote to repeal the president's health care overhaul law. ... I'm wondering, should Congress people be spending more time helping constituents comply with the law rather than continuing all of this uncertainty about it?" --CNN's Christine Romans

Government saves: "Many Americans say they're unhappy about the health care law, but the the popularity of the law is something of a red herring. Sometimes, government must lead. Sometimes, government must demand people accept change that they're not yet ready for. Those are the moments when leaders with vision can change society and create the crescendos of history. In freeing the slaves, desegregating schools, enacting Title IX, and legalizing gay marriage, government led America into a new world much of the country wasn't ready for -- but in time, we adjusted. And this too shall pass." --MSNBC's Touré

Totally backwards: "It speaks to a perception. And I don't know how fair it is, I'm not a business analyst. I don't know if Mr. Romney did good things at Bain Capital, but I do know that this is the wrong time to be running as a businessman. It has become something of a dirty word." --political commentator Keith Olbermann

Village Idiots

Several BIG Lies: "Since the Affordable Care Act was passed, national health spending is rising at a slower rate, health insurance premiums are rising at a slower rate, small-business coverage is holding steady and Medicare is on a stronger financial footing." --Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius making claims that are demonstrably not true 

Revisionist history: "I don't think the car manufacturers would be manufacturing the cars they are manufacturing today as hybrids, if it weren't for what the president did in signing the executive order and what Lisa (Jackson, EPA Administrator) and I have done over the last three and half years about developing C.A.F.E. (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards for automobiles and light trucks that will get 54.4 miles per gallon by 2025." --Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood (Lexus produced it's first hybrid SUV in 2004 -- when Obama was still a state senator from Illinois.)

Longing for communism: "The Chinese are more successful [in building infrastructure] because in their country, only three people make the decision. ... In a country where only three people make the decision, they can decide where to put their rail line, get the money, and do it. We don't do it that way in America." --Ray LaHood

Race bait: "Barack had a mama, and she was white -- very white American, Kansas, middle America. There was no argument about who he is or what he is. America's first black president hasn't arisen yet. He's not America's first black president -- he's America's first mixed-race president." --actor Morgan Freeman suggesting that the movement to call Obama "black" is a conspiracy to defeat him. (Memo to Morgan: That didn't work in '08!)

Tired metaphor: "When Barack Obama got the keys to the bus it was trapped in the ditch with three flat tires. We've changed the tires, we've pulled the bus out of the ditch, and we're starting up the road to strengthening the middle class. There's a different theory. Mitt Romney wants to take that bus -- probably a bus made in Switzerland or Bermuda - and he wants to turn that bus around, he wants to pick up some millionaires and billionaires and shower them with cash." --Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs (Mr. Gibbs apparently forgot that Obama's campaign bus was manufactured in Canada.)

Short Cuts

"Romney raised $100 million in June, and there is talk that Obama could be the first incumbent president to be outspent. I don't know why that's a big deal, though, because he gets lots of free coverage. Like with these job numbers that just came out, I hear his name mentioned constantly." --humorist Frank J. Fleming

"So, extreme heat broke 3,000 records. Out of how many? 3,000, 300k, or 3 million? How many records weren't broken -- is a good question." --meteorologist Dr. Ryan Maue

"The Supreme Court kept intact the individual penalties written into the health care law. It teaches freeloaders a lesson. People who refuse to buy health insurance could go to prison for five years, where they'll receive free health care and complimentary meals." --comedian Argus Hamilton

"The Democratic Convention is $27 million in debt. They had to cancel the kick-off event at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. A speedway is the perfect place for the Democratic Convention. You go around in circles, turn left every few seconds, and you end up right where you started." --comedian Jay Leno

Tell Pennsylvania Sens. Bob Casey and Pat Toomey:   Slow Down Massive Immigration to Save Jobs for Unemployed Pennsylvania Residents

Even as hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvania workers are struggling to find a job, Congress has continued to issue 125,000 new work visas a month to immigrants and other foreign workers. This equals 1.5 million new foreign workers each year, who compete directly with Pennsylvania residents for a very limited number of Pennsylvania's jobs.

Who benefits from allowing 1.5 million new foreign workers into the U.S. each year? Certainly not the 484,000 residents of Pennsylvania who are currently unemployed. Unfortunately, Sens. Casey and Toomey have done nothing to reduce the number of foreign workers to the U.S. And as a result, unemployed Pennsylvania workers continue to suffer.

This continued failure to stand up for jobless Pennsylvania residents by Sens. Casey and Toomey is inexcusable. Your fellow unemployed Pennsylvania workers need more opportunities. Please don't delay. Send the critical message below to Pennsylvania Sens. Casey and Toomey today, urging them to reduce immigration to a more sensible level. This is a completely free service. There is no cost to you.
