It's been a while

So, the most I've posted here has been my tweets, and that's just wrong. Not that many people care what's going on, with so much else happening in their busy lives. All this stuff here, on the internet, just seems to suck more and more of our lives away. Makes me wonder what life would be like without this instant access to information and communication.

I'm beginning to think it wouldn't be all that bad.

This.... Is Genius

This is the best example of WHY Government should be allowed to run NOTHING but what the Constitution explicitly says it should

BAIL'EM OUT!!! ???? Hell, back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it.. They failed and it closed. Now, we are trusting the economy of our country, our banking system, our auto industry and possibly our health plans to the same nit-wits who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling whiskey?!"
"What are we thinking?

A great read, and a wonderful analogy!

Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Arizona Is addressing the issue of illegal immigration - simply because they plan to enforce the law that the Feds have failed to do for 40 years!

Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.

Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.

Let's say I break into your house.

Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. But I say, 'No! I like it here. It's better than my house. I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house).'

According to the protesters:

You are Required to let me stay in your house
You are Required to feed me

You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan

You are Required to educate my kids

You are Required to provide other benefits to me & to my family (my husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part).


If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.


It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself.
I'm a hard-working and honest, person, except for, well, you know, I did break into your house and what a deal it is for me!!!


I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.


Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE!!! So you can communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is? Only in America . If you agree, pass it on (in English)...share it if you see the value of it.

If not, blow it off......... along with your future Social Security funds, and a lot of other things.

A simple lesson in Macroeconomics and Taxes.

If the Federal government raises taxes on the richest 1% who only have 20% of the money, they don't generate as much as if they raise the taxes on the rest of the 99% who have 80% of the money. A 5% hike on 20% only gives you a 1% increase. The same hike in the lower 80% nets a 4% increase... Simple math folks!

Change we can believe in!

As President Obama is set to sign the massive Federal Healthcare Bill into law this afternoon, just 36 hours after it's passage in Congress, let us remind ourselves of then Presidential Candidate Barack Hussein Obama:

Let's let everyone we know read this and think about it...

Ok, admittedly I took this, exactly, from an e-mail I received, and even then, I don't know who the original author is, so forgive me for reprinting this here, but I do not know who to ask for permission from. Anyway, read this, and pass it on to ANYONE you know, and tell them to think critically about the claims made here.

I'm Sick of hearing from Obama I "Inherited"

The Washington Post babbled again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush, blah, blah, blah. Amazingly enough, a lot of people swallow this nonsense.

So once more, check this short civics lesson.

Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases. For FY 2009, though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office.

At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill
to complete the FY 2009 budgets. And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009.

Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period:

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the
last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five
years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that,
Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a
nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for
and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.


IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP OUR FACTS STRAIGHT AS THE MEDIA GOES WITH
FEELINGS - AND PAINTS A PICTURE THEY LIKE

If one is intellectually honest, it will be obvious that the ideas put forth above are, in fact, correct.

Thank you.

A fool-proof way to fix the current Federal Government

You may be thinking, "No way! There can't be a way to do that!" But you'd be wrong.

It's very simple, too! First step:

Look up the roll call vote on the TARP bill for the House Reps who voted for or "No Vote" on the bill.

Second step is just as easy:

On election day this year,

DON'T VOTE FOR THEM!!!!

Vote for the other guy... Unless he's a Democrat, then try to get a different candidate for the Republican nomination, because the current Rep you have, is a RINO!

Don't mistake my last post...

I'm not for the guy at all, but I hate foreigners saying how bad America is, and how backward we are. I admit, we have far too much excess here, but to those who say we don't do enough for the rest of the world, look again, and see where we send the taxes we collect. I promise you, that a whole bunch leaves our borders and helps out a great deal of people. And beyond this, we send money through other channels that foreigners don't realize....

Ok, I'm not that coherent here, but I'm a bit upset about foreigners bad-mouthing this nation...

America is barbaric and wrong....

....so why has NO country in Europe, who are supposed to be SO much more progressive than the US, ever elected a Black President, Prime Minister, or other national leader?

What are people thinking?!?

Obama still has a higher approval rating than a disapproval rating? Yes, it's not above 50%, but still higher than disapproval? Don't people realize that this whole mess that's happening in Congress is coming from his mind??? WAKE UP PEOPLE AND SMELL THE MARXISM!
