Never Admit Raising Taxes

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, November 05, 2009 4:00:00 PM
"President Obama's promise to raise taxes only on the wealthy was easy to make and easy to break. He broke it barely two weeks after taking office, and he will break it again if Congress passes the health care legislation he wants. But Obama has come up with a strategy to avoid the fate of George H.W. Bush: Although he will raise your taxes, he will never admit he is raising your taxes." He’ll just call it something else. And insist it is NOT a rise in taxes. It will be a new “fee” or an increase in the cost of doing business with the government. To me, ANY money you have to pay to the government is a tax. But not to Obama. (Jacob Sullum)

Obama After the Internet

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, November 05, 2009 3:57:12 PM
The Internet is the biggest source of truth, and Obama hates that. So he wants to take control of the Internet so he can control what truth” is put out. He wants to make sure it’s HIS “truth,” and nothing else. He calls it “net neutrality,” but of course, it is nothing of the sort. It is “neutral” only in the fact that he wants to control what appears there and make sure it doesn’t reveal any of his secrets. If he makes it, forget about me, and all the other purveyors of truth he calls “misinformers.” (Glenn Beck)

Unconstitutional Laws

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 6:12:06 PM
Our lawmaking bodies are constantly and (if we let them) passing laws that are patently unconstitutional, then enforcing them until somebody who has enough money to hire expensive lawyers and take it to court succeeds in having it DECLARED unconstitutional. It happened in Colorado, where Democrats attempted to pass a law allowing them to steal . . . er, uh, confiscate cars driven by people who don’t have their driver’s licenses with them. It would be “cruel and unusual punishment,” since that car might be worth $50,000. A BIG punishment for a small paper violation. But it “went down in flames,” losing by almost 2 to 1. I guess we’re not TOTALLY stupid yet. But they’ll try again, count on it. That's their "modus operandi." Come at us over and over until they "wear us down." (Denver Post)

China Says No

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 6:07:59 PM
Communist China is arguably the biggest polluter in the world, but they have said they will not observe the Copenhagen Treaty supposedly to reduce worldwide pollution. It just amazes me how many otherwise intelligent people (one would think) BUY AlGore’s global warming swindle (now renamed, “Climate Change,” since the world hasn’t been “warming” since 2000). But buy it they do, and spend a lot of money on such time and money wasters as the Copenhagen Treaty meeting (In addition to buying those phony “carbon credits” from Gore’s company, while making him millions). Gore says pollution is mostly responsible for “climate change,” but he has no REAL science to back it up. He won’t hear anybody who disagrees with him (and tries to “shut them up”) and, though he won’t even TRY to answer their points, he labels them as “out of the mainstream.” What the hell gives him the right to decide who is “in the mainstream” and who is not? What a jerk! (Patriot Post/Chronicle 10/28-09)

Just Lower Taxes!

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Tuesday, November 03, 2009 6:49:14 PM
Obama and his gang are giving us a LOT of (taxpayer’s) money, hoping to “stimulate” the economy (an even “dollar for dollar” trade, no increase). Why not just lower taxes by that much instead of collecting the money from those who EARN it and GIVING it to those who don’t? The answer is: if they can GIVE that money (and control to whom it is “given,”) they get more POWER. They won’t even entertain the IDEA of just lowering taxes, even though it has created “boom conditions” every time it has been tried, even by a DEMOCRAT president (John Kennedy) Why do they ignore the “easy solution?” It doesn’t allow them to CONTROL it. And they are all about CONTROL. Everything they do or even SUGGEST gives them more CONTROL. If you can’t see that, there’s no hope for you. (Just common sense)

Ignoring the Constitution

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Tuesday, November 03, 2009 6:46:24 PM
So what else is new? This country itself has been ignoring the Constitution since almost before the ink dried on its signing (Check out “The Whiskey Wars”). There are more unconstitutional laws on the books that there are those that are constitutional! But nobody has, so far, come up with enough money to pay the lawyers and court costs required to get them DECLARED so. That’s one of the biggest flaws IN the Constitution: people have to VIOLATE it and “make a constitutional case” out of it before it can be resolved. There is no mechanism to make sure it IS constitutional BEFORE it can be enforced. So legislators keep on, merrily making laws with abandon, not even CARING if the laws they make are, or are not constitutional. (Town Hall/LaShawn Barber)

"Proactive" Means Hysterical

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Saturday, October 31, 2009 2:21:05 PM
Obama’s flu fearmongering is running amok. He says "90,000 people MIGHT die of "swine flu."  “Just nine weeks ago the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology issued its report with a “plausible scenario” of 30,000 to 90,000 deaths [That's a BIG gap. -RT] peaking in “mid-October.” It’s now late October [as this is written-RT] and past time for a reality check.” What have we had? Less than 100 deaths “attributed” to “swine flu?” That’s not cause for a “declaration of national emergency.” More people die of the STANDARD flu every year with no one seeming to take notice. Seems funny to me that the “order has gone out” to doctors that ALL persons presenting with "flu-like symptoms" WILL be diagnosed with swine flu. Sounds like a little “numbers pumping” to me.

The Real Goal

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Saturday, October 31, 2009 2:14:26 PM
Getting free medical care for all Americans isn’t the goal for Obama. Senator Jay Rockefeller let the cat out of the bag when he said, "We cannot promise [you] that the insurance reforms... will benefit everyone, when the reality is that this bill leaves out up to 55 percent, or 73 million people" (who are already covered by work plans).” “The AP is also reporting that the group America's Health insurance Plans concludes that under the Baucus plan, costs of private health insurance would rise by a whopping 111 percent over the next decade as compared to the current system where costs would rise by 79 percent... President Obama said affordable healthcare for all Americans... Let's be clear. This isn't about health care. This is about our government seizing more control over our lives!" Everything Obama does is geared toward giving him more control over our lives. (Grassfire)

Dithering While Soldiers Die

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Friday, October 30, 2009 4:55:28 PM
Like Nero in Rome, the dictator “dithers” while his top generals BEG for more troops to get the job done. Why he can't make such a simple decision is beyond me. Unless he simply doesn't WANT to win in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, the enemy awaits a decision from a man who has SAID “victory is not an option.” What the hell then, IS the option? Isn’t the goal in ANY war, winning? Would we have told Adolph Hitler, that, “victory over his Nazis is not an option?” How STUPID is that? This man we (not me) have elected president is plainly STUPID! (You watch. Soon he’ll be able to send me to prison for saying that) I’m glad I’m an old man. Maybe I won’t LIVE long enough for him to gain enough power to do that. Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if his top generals resign, since he has obviously lost confidence in their ability to pursue this war. I certainly would. (IBD Editorials)

Unaccountable

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Friday, October 30, 2009 4:53:15 PM
That’s the key word about Obama’s administration. “Unaccountable” to ANYBODY except Obama. All his “czars,” who are NOT approved by Congress, do what they want, regardless of the law or the Constitution (such as the “pay czar,” (Who just cut executive pay by 95%! AFTER the executives have done the work, for which they should be paid, even if next year they won’t.). Sometimes Obama knows what they’re going to do, sometimes not. They’re SUPPOSED to be “advisers” only, but he has invested powers in them not available to advisers. This is how it’s going to be if we allow Obama to continue on this path. We need to stop him while we still can. (Just common sense)

"Opting Out"

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, October 29, 2009 4:33:56 PM
They SAY your state can “opt out” of their health care swindle by passing a law (have you ever tried to pass a law?) that says they want no part of it. Only problem with that is you still have to PAY for it. “The most important fact about the "opt out" scheme allegedly allowing states to decline government health insurance is that a state can't "opt out" of paying for it. All 50 states will pay for it. A state legislature can only opt out of allowing its own citizens to receive the benefits of a federal program they're paying for.” (Emphasis mine. -RT) This is a typical con perpetrated by our government. Don’t fall for it. (Ann Coulter)

"Not A News Organization"

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, October 29, 2009 4:31:04 PM
Not the way CNN is.” That’s what Rahm Emmanuel says. What the hell has he been smoking? CNN is one of the most liberally biased news stations out there, except for MSNBC. I tried watching CNN and MSNBC for a while, but being a person that “pays attention” to what’s going on, I couldn’t stand to continue as both stations insulted my intelligence, day after day. What a ludicrous bunch we have running things in Washington! David Harsanyi, a writer for the Denver Post, is as ignorant as is most liberals, and this article demonstrates it admirably. In it, he actually says OBAMA has been "suffering under press excesses." What a jerk! (David Harsanyi)

Doing Everything At Once

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, October 29, 2009 4:28:56 PM
Obama seems to think he MUST be pushing SOMETHING, every day. From “Cap & Trade” to the health care swindle ("We gotta do this NOW, even though it won't take effect until 2013) to extending the school year to trying to get the Olympics for Chicago (under orders from Mayor Daly) to . . . Well, you get the idea. Of course, he doesn’t have time to sign an order to send enough troops to get the job done in Afghanistan or Iraq (since “victory is not an option” there to him) while soldiers die. He goes “galloping off in all directions” and getting nothing we want done. But he DOES get things done that NOBODY (except his socialist friends) wants done. (Jerry Holbert)

Leaving New York

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 3:49:33 PM
New York is surprised that people are leaving New York in droves to escape paying their record high taxes. They say “the rich” are doing it, but it is EVERYBODY who can afford it. Mostly those who CREATE the wealth New York wants to steal. Yes, “the rich” are abandoning New York in droves. But so are other people who don’t want to support losers who won’t work with money they have EARNED. They’re going where they can EARN their living without unreasonable taxation. These people don’t mind paying REASONABLE taxes. It is the UNREASONABLY HIGH taxes they resent and hope to escape by moving elsewhere. (New York Post)

"Dissing" Customers

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 3:46:52 PM
CitiBank apparently doesn’t need their customers. What could be more embarrassing than to present your credit card to make a purchase, only to be told it was “denied?” CitiBank and other credit card issuers (I don’t want to dignify them by calling them “credit institutions”) arbitrarily canceled many customer’s cards without warning and lied to them about why they did it. They DID send out letters telling the customers what was happening, but they were CALCULATED to get there AFTER the fact. I guess they don’t need those customers in this bad economy. If I had been one of them, they would never see another penny out of me (of course, I’ve never had a credit card, and don’t want one—ever) (MSN)
