"A Tidal Wave is Coming....." Pat Cadell

Former Carter pollster Pat Cadell sees it coming; look here.

He calls the voter's mindset, "pre-revolutionary".

I think he misses the point a little: he better pray there is a pre-revolution in November. The reason is that two things COULD spark a REAL revolution in this country otherwise:

1. People find their wealth has been stolen by the government

2. People find out that their votes no longer count; they have no voice

If in November they find out they have no voice, they may not wait for #1 to hit home.

GM makes political donations----why you should care

GM, aka Government Motors, is owned by you and me. We have 60% of the tab. So, are you in favor of your company making political donations to the Black Caucus? With your money? That is exactly what they are doing, read it all here.

The Federal takeover of GM was nasty; bondholders, stockholders got screwed. The Unions ended up with equity to protect their rich pensions, and we got stuck with the bill. And now this politically controlled entity is making political donations to favored groups who helped grease the skids for this corrupt takeover.

This is political self-dealing and corruption of the highest order.

Just SOP in Obamaville.......

You with the Lemonade Stand----get a license!!!

Did you ever have a Lemonade Stand? Hopefully not in Oregan! You might have been shut down for not having a $120 Restaurant license.

Read it all here.

Oregon county officials have apologized after health inspectors told a 7-year-old girl that she can’t run a lemonade stand without a $120 temporary restaurant license.

Jeff Cogen, chairman of the Multnomah County Board of Commissions, told FoxNews.com that he apologized to the mother, Maria Fife, and is now turning his attention to changing the rules.

Prayers are disorderly conduct!....Updated!!

As we reported the other day, a man was arrested outside a Chicago abortion clinc for praying!! See here.

Well, now the city of Chicago has dropped the charges!

A clerk at the Cook County Court confirmed Wednesday that the case against Joe Holland -- a 25-year-old graduate student arrested while praying the rosary outside a Planned Parenthood facility -- had been dropped. The case gained widespread attention after it was reported by FoxNews.com on Monday.

The Chicago Police Department had no comment on Holland's dismissal. Earlier it had contended that Holland violated the city's new "Bubble Zone" ordinance, which prevents people near a health clinic from approaching within eight feet of another person with the intent to speak to them or hand them a leaflet without their consent. It also prevents people from interfering with another person's ability to enter or exit the building.

Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Lara Philipps would not comment directly on the dismissal of Holland's case, but she said she hopes patients' "bubble zones" will continue to be protected.

What a shame there is no protective bubble around the fetus......oh, there is....it's called the womb! No rights there!

Do You Hear Us Now Barack??????

ObamaCare has taken two blows to the gut in the last week. Virginia is pushing ahead with a court case to try the Constitutionality of ObamaCare's insurance mandate and now voters is Missouri have said HELL NO by a 71 to 29 percent margin against the mandate. Read it all
here.

Is this the momentum that is building toward a total repudiation of the Obama agenda?

Let's hope so!!

Prayers are disorderly conduct!

The man on the left praying was arrested in Chicago for disorderly conduct. Read it all here.

Chicago has an inane "bubble law" which says a protester cannot enter someone else's bubble!

The yellow shirted Planned Parenthood person entered the praying man's bubble but he got arrested!

Watch the video here.

Notice the disorder the man provokes!!!!!

Dysfunctional Liberalism

East St. Louis, long ruled by a liberal class that pushed the Progressive Agenda, is now broke. So, how do they address their fiscal problems? By cutting bloated city government, bloated school administration rolls, cutting government salaries? Of course not: they go after the police and fire forces--partly because the unions for these agencies would not compromise.

This is a typical government response to fiscal problems: cut those services most vital to the citizenary so that those citizens will scream so loud that the services will be restored after higher taxes are exacted. Read it all here.

Never let a crisis go to waste!

Is there a Double Standard?

Think there is a double standard in Washington?

Here are the 13 allegations against Charlie Rangel, here.

Rangels response: "a little sloppiness in my paperwork"

Yeah, tax evasion and controlled rent violations in New York City and campaign solicitation violations.

On just the tax evasion alone, how do you think you and I would fair with that charge? Can we say "hello Leavenworth?????"


Double Standard: the Ruling Class and the rest of us "unwashed"

Will Washington's Failures Lead To Second American Revolution?

Where did that headline come from? Some far-right minuteman blog somewhere up in the mountains out west?

No, actually from staid, buttoned-up, Investors Business Daily!

The article makes a pretty good case that we may be closer to 1776 than we think:

The Internet is a large-scale version of the "Committees of Correspondence" that led to the first American Revolution — and with Washington's failings now so obvious and awful, it may lead to another.

Too many overreaching laws give the president too much discretion to make too many open-ended rules controlling too many aspects of our lives. There's no end to the harm an out-of-control president can do.

Fear and uncertainty stalk the land. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke says America's financial future is "unusually uncertain."

Obama is building an imperium of public debt and crushing taxes, contrary to George Washington's wise farewell admonition: "cherish public credit ... use it as sparingly as possible ... avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt ... bear in mind, that towards the payment of debts there must be Revenue, that to have Revenue there must be taxes; that no taxes can be devised, which are not ... inconvenient and unpleasant ... ."

And most telling..........A wounded rampaging president can do much damage — and, like Caesar, the evil he does will live long after he leaves office, whenever that may be.

The overgrown, un-pruned power of the presidency to reward, punish and intimidate may now be so overwhelming that his re-election in 2012 is already assured — Chicago-style.

Nancy! Turn on the Pump, the Swamp is getting Deeper!

Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the House once declared that she was going to "drain the swamp of corruption", speaking to persistent ethics violations in the House.

Well this week we have seen the Charlie Rangle ethics charges go public and a different committee is working toward a similar outcome for Maxine Waters who just happened to lobby the Govt for a bank that her husband owned stock in.

The Wizards of Central Planning

Question: it's campaign time. How do you make your anti-business appear to be pro-business for campaign purposes?

Well, you fly all over the country touting your new Small Business Loan Program. People clap, cheer and go home.

The small business folks you supposedly are trying to help (actually you are trying only to help yourself) take a look at your program and say "no way!". Why is that?

Read it all here.

And if you've been paying attention over the last 18 months, you're probably asking, what's the catch?

Glad you asked: most of the tax cuts are so narrowly targeted as to be economically trivial. The list includes bonus depreciation, small business expensing and a temporary zero capital gains tax rate for small business start-ups. These would be in place for a year or two and then vanish, which means they'll do little to change business behavior.

The bill authorizes Treasury to purchase up to $30 billion of stock in small, community banks across the country. The banks in turn would agree to issue as much as $300 billion in loans to small businesses that they wouldn't otherwise lend to.

Here's the best part: The whiz kids at the Congressional Budget Office and Joint Committee on Taxation estimate that this program will raise $1.1 billion for the federal government. So there really is a free lunch.

The false assumption here is that banks are reluctant to lend because they lack the capital. This ignores that small business lending is also down because the business demand for loans is weak. Businesses don't typically expand when Washington is raising dividend, capital gains and personal income tax rates while piling on the new costs of ObamaCare and other regulations.

So what is the bottom line for all t his bureaucratic sleight of hand?

The tax cut in this bill will provide $12 billion in relief over 10 years. The tax increase that Mr. Obama favors for 2011 would raise what the Joint Committee on Taxation figures will be $600 billion of revenues, about half of which comes from the coffers of small business. So the tax hikes, which are permanent, are about 50 times larger than the tax cuts, which are temporary. And the Obama Administration wonders why some people think this President is antibusiness.

More Hope than Change.............

Campaigner in Chief: Auto Bailouts a Good Thing

Now that he has done his appearance on "The View" to bolster his support among women, he is heading to Michigan to fuel up his Union buddies by explaining again how the Government Motors bailout was so good for America, without saying how it was sooooo much better for the Unions that poured hundreds of millions into his election.

He also probably won't say anything about all the Chrysler creditors and autodealers who got robbed by his heavy handed bailout of Chrysler either.

Gotta put some lipstick on those Pigs! Read it all here.

Warren Buffet: Kindly old gentleman? Or not?

Warren Buffet has the kindly looking face and slow demeanor that we might associate with our own grandfathers. He has made billions investing in industries that make real products as well as in the service industry, eg, insurance.

We have read stories about how he has given away billions of his amassed fortune to good causes. What we have not read is that Warren Buffet is among one of the most prolific funders of abortion in this country! Read it all here.

IN 1999, UTA LANDY, a former director of the National Abortion Federation, and Philip Darney, her husband and an OB-GYN professor at U.C.S.F., created the Kenneth J. Ryan Residency Training Program. The program gives medical schools two or three years of seed money for abortion training for OB-GYN residents. Through it, 58 campuses in the U.S. and Canada have received financing. Landy also directs the Family Planning Fellowship, with Jody Steinauer as the associate director.

The money for the Ryan and the Family Planning Fellowship comes from one foundation and from one family. The donor has chosen to remain anonymous, which helps to explain why there’s been so little publicity about the pro-choice strategy of bringing abortion into academic medicine. It has been covered by a veil of semisecrecy.

At the same time, as the Ryan and the fellowship have expanded to dozens of institutions, many people have come to know about the source of funding. In the course of my reporting, two doctors who had not done the fellowship themselves, but who work in universities, volunteered to me that the money for the programs comes from the Buffett Foundation. They meant the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation.

Susan Thompson Buffett was married to Warren Buffett and served as president of the foundation that bears her name. She died in 2004. Two years later, Warren Buffett gave the foundation about $3 billion. He said that he expected the gift to increase the foundation’s annual expenditures by $150 million. And in fact, total giving by the foundation, where two of the Buffetts’ children sit on the board, increased from $202 million in 2007 to $347 million in 2008, according to tax returns.

The tax records also show that most of the foundation’s spending goes to abortion and contraception advocacy and research. According to Access Philanthropy, a research institute that focuses on the giving preferences of foundations and corporate donors, family planning is one of the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation’s main purposes. The foundation’s nonprofit 990 tax form shows that in 2008, Planned Parenthood and its affiliates in the U.S. received about $45 million; the international arm of the organization got about $8 million. There is no line item for the Ryan program or the Family Planning Fellowship. But the foundation paid out around $50 million to universities with one or both of the programs.

Puts a little different light on the kindly old image of Warren Buffet.

President Obama is set to make history this week: with the Boy Scouts?

Nope, he will appear on "The View", an innane morning talk show that is worth the air time it burns up, but attracts viewers who can't resist watching a "cat fight".

And what about the Scouts? Oh, nothing much. Just marking their Hundreth Anniversary at their summer Jamboree. Nothing that a President who didn't grow up in America could care much about. Read it all here.

White House Backed Release of Lockerbie Bomber

The iconic picture above defines the anger and fear that terrorism can strike anywhere and at anytime and is perpatrated by slimy characters who will not put on a uniform and fight conventional wars.

As noted here, we now find out that our own President Obama agreed with releasing the Lockerbie bomber on grounds of "compassion" rather than having him locked up in a Libyan prison.

Compassion? What about the hundreds that died on that plane? What compassion did they get from Abdel Baset al-Megrahi?

The intervention, which has angered US relatives of those who died in the attack, was made by Richard LeBaron, deputy head of the US embassy in London, a week before Megrahi was freed in August last year on grounds that he had terminal cancer.

The document, acquired by a well-placed US source, threatens to undermine US President Barack Obama's claim last week that all Americans were "surprised, disappointed and angry" to learn of Megrahi's release.

In the letter, sent on August 12 last year to Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond and justice officials, Mr LeBaron wrote that the US wanted Megrahi to remain imprisoned in view of the nature of the crime.

The note added: "Nevertheless, if Scottish authorities come to the conclusion that Megrahi must be released from Scottish custody, the US position is that conditional release on compassionate grounds would be a far preferable alternative to prisoner transfer, which we strongly oppose."

Which is more sad: that we aided the release of this monster or that our President lied to us about his official position on it? With this outfit, that's a tough choice indeed.

Stunning Imagery of Gulf Oil Slick!

John Kerry not doing his Patriotic Duty?

Remember Joe Biden told us it was our "patriotic duty" to pay taxes. Maybe John Kerry did not get the memo?

Seems Kerry's new $7million yacht is tucked away in Rhode Island instead of Kerry's homestate of Massachuesetts.

Now why might that be?

Well there are no boat taxes in RI and in MA one gets hit with 6.25%.........so the Kerry's save a whopping $500,000 by keeping it down the road a bit in RI.

But what about that patriotic duty thing?

Let's wait and hear John Kerry speak for himself.
