Warning Signs"Throw in the Environmental Protection Agency’s war on the coal industry, and the Interior Department’s limits on access to federal land known to contain uranium deposits for the nuclear energy industry, and you begin to see how our own government is conspiring to leave the United States of America bereft of the energy reserves that we have in abundance! "The nation’s energy needs and its dollar are being weakened in order to eliminate it as the only real deterrent to the United Nation’s, Russia’s and China’s global ambitions." ...."There is not one single reason why the U.S. taxpayer should be contributing to this communist cabal and conference."
Rick Moran"How far has the US fallen in recent years? One yardstick is in the number of second generation immigrants returning to the country of their parent's birth for opportunities that they can't find here." ...."What makes this particular trend so worrisome is that it involves the kinds of immigrants that have powered American entrepreneurship for decades. It is becoming too difficult to start a business, to negotiate the myriad regulations and laws governing business creation - not to mention the highest corporate tax rate in the world and overregulation that has gotten much worse under the current administration. "Government's stranglehold on American business is costing us not only jobs, but talent as well."
From PJ Media with a big hat tip to Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. This In Living Colorskit is "hands down, the winner. This is pure genius, from the respective impersonations by David Alan Grier and Damon Wayans to the script to the belly rub at the end."
"If this was a white man making these types of threats Holder would unleash the DOJ attack dogs faster than you can say, “my people.” "
He continued, going on to address Caucasians directly.
“I know myself. I know you. And some of you white people – I know you better than you know yourself because God has revealed you fully,” he explained, going on to seemingly claim that he has a special, God-ordained ability to see what others cannot.
This, of course, was followed up with a cryptic warning to white Americans about their need to “change.”
“It ain’t about hating you. We ain’t got no time for that. But we know who we’re dealing with. We know what we’re dealing with,” he said. “We know your origin in the world and we know how long you were set to live and unless you change, your end has come.”
Human Events: California Dreamin' "I live in California. If you were wondering what living in Obama's second term would be like, wonder no longer. We in California are living there now. "California is a one-party state dominated by a virulent Democratic Left enabled by a complicit media where every agency of local, county, and state government is run by and for the public employee unions. The unemployment rate is 12%." ...."California has seven income tax brackets. The top income tax rate is 9.3%, which is slapped on the greedy rich earning at least $47,056 a year. Income of more than $1 million pays the "millionaires' and billionaires'" surcharge tax rate of 10.3%. "Brown's proposal would add 2% for income over $250,000. A million-dollar income would then be taxed at 12.3%. And that's just for the state." Roger Hedgecock
Another California comparison made by another Californian:"But at the core of this breakdown was the abandonment of our basic republican structure of government – and it began right here.
"Our parliamentary institutions have evolved over centuries to distill diverse viewpoints to a common direction within constitutional boundaries. When this process is applied, it works extremely well.
"For a quarter of a century, I watched as these brilliant checks and balances that had produced reasonably punctual and reasonably balanced budgets for over a century, and nurtured the most prosperous economy in the nation, were gradually abandoned in the name of liberal efficiency.
..".I believe that if Californians rediscover these self-evident truths, Jerry Brown will be to California what Barack Obama has been to the rest of the country – a giant wake-up call." Tom McClintock
Letter: Second term would give Obama license to do unspeakable things"He has lost America’s position as leader of the world. His message has become a farce. I believe the world considers him a joke, as their cartoons about him are telling. He has become an embarrassment, bowing to Saudi royalty and apologizing for America’s imagined transgressions."
Investor's Business Daily: Is Obama 'Dangerously Close To Totalitarianism'?"... "A few months ago he was saying, 'The Congress doesn't count, the Congress doesn't mean anything, I am going to rule by decree and by administrative regulation.' " "Now he's basically saying the Supreme Court doesn't count. It doesn't matter what they think. They can't review our legislation. That would leave just him as the only branch of government standing." "
Romney Warns Gun Lobby of a Second Obama Term " “In his first term,” Mr. Romney’s said, “we’ve seen the president try to browbeat the Supreme Court. In a second term, he would remake it. Our freedoms would be in the hands of an Obama court, not just for four years, but for the next 40. That must not happen.’’ "
The Nation: Why the Supreme Court Matters"Four justices are now in their 70s: Ginsburg (79), Scalia (76), Kennedy (75) and Breyer (73). If Romney wins, he could shore up the right flank of the Court; if Obama wins, he could tip the balance of power back to the center. " ...."“If Obama wins re-election, he will likely appoint one—and perhaps three—more Supreme Court justices,” [NRA head Wayne] LaPierre said. “It’ll be the end of our freedom forever.” " "....If ever there was a time for the president to run against the Court, it is now." Ari Berman
What Tax Day Could Feel Like in 2013"The Tax Foundation reports that because of higher federal income and corporate tax collections, Tax Freedom Day came four days later this year than last. And the bad news is that unless Washington takes action, it will take working Americans 11 more days to meet next year’s tax burden."
‘These Boys Better Watch Out’: Roemer’s Third-Party Run for the White House"Obama, he said, is a “disappointment” because of the “lack of leadership on campaign finance reform, tax reform, budget reform, immigration reform, trade reform. He’s non-existent on any of them. … The thing he hasn’t done is change Washington.”
"Roemer also slams Obama for “his immaturity at leadership,” such as telling Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on an open mic that he would have more flexibility on the missile defense shield after the election. “He wouldn’t tell the American people that,” Roemer said. “He think we’re fools!”
"“He wants to be friends with Putin,” he added. “He’s an immature leader. I’m embarrassed by it. … And it’s dangerous."
Roemer is saying the things that those of us who plan to support Romney against Obama agree with. And many who now support Romney would instead vote for Roemer for some strange reason. In 2008, distaste for McCain led many to stay at home or to wish for any third-party candidate, thinking "that'll teach them Republicans!"
Now we have two more leftist Supreme Court justices, ObamaCare, allies who no longer trust the U.S. and adversaries who laugh at us. Worst off, we have the Occupiers, racial divisions nationwide and groups of Americans at war with other groups of Americans, a president who smugly speaks about "pitchforks" in the streets and makes threats against those who stand in opposition to him.
Obama is -as Dick Cheney bravely put it- an unmitigated disaster and must be denied the chance to govern...uh no, that's a bad word, um...do whatever it is that he has been doing the last three years. Then along comes some third-party conservative who is actually running against not Obama, but against our hope for getting rid of him. As Napoleononce put it, "one bad general is better than two good ones."
Obama may actually help him out with campaign funds and have his people leak comments to the press about how much they "fear Roemer" and how he would be a very strong candidate. Roemer has to know that and I fear that perhaps his political ambitions outweigh his fear of another Obama administration.
And what kind of man is President Obama that many so badly want to remove him from office? Read on:
Obama running up the stairs to speak to a crowd with his sleeves rolled up. (It’s good to know he is rolling up his sleeves to solve America’s problems.)
“This is a make-or-break moment for the middle class.” (If we adopt the Buffet rule, it’s a good bet it will be a “make” moment).
“Everyone needs to pay their fair share.” (Everyone except for the half of all Americans who do not pay any income tax and will not be asked to by the president.)
“The rich need to pay their fare share.” (Presumably 10% of taxpayers paying 70% of all income taxes, greater than their share of income, is not a fair share and needs to be substantially higher.)
“Corporations need to play by the rules.” (Of course, we presumably need more of them.)
“All Americans should get a fair shot.” (At what exactly is unclear — opportunity to succeed, or an opportunity to share in the fruits of the labor of others? What is Obama’s plan for those who get a “fair” chance to compete, and fail? )
“We need to build an economy that can last.” (All countries have economies that “last,” even Greece. The test is whether the economy is growing, and if so, whether that rate of growth is sufficient. Is Obama concerned about growth — the size of the pie — or only about how a pie of whatever size is distributed?)
Asia Times"As Egypt headed towards chaotic breakdown, Western observers asked how its economy might be stabilized. This appears to have been the wrong question to begin with, for the Muslim Brotherhood will not allow the West to stabilize Egypt's financial position. The right question is: who will benefit from the chaos?" .... "As a revolutionary organization that rose under the influence of Nazi Germany's wartime foreign ministry, the Brotherhood has no qualms about exacerbating Egypt's economic misery if it furthers its agenda. Paul Berman's 2010 book The Flight of the Intellectuals summarized exhaustive academic research into wartime archives showing that the Brotherhood was shaped by Nazi ideology." Hitler was a gift that just keeps on giving.
