Lowering Taxes

That’s what it takes to improve the economy. That has been proven every time it has been tried. John Kennedy did it, and the tax “take” increased. Ronald Reagan did it and almost DOUBLED the “tax take” in the next few years. George Bush did it and continued one of the biggest, longest-lasting economic booms ever, started by Reagan's tax reductions, until the machinations of the Democrats (The Citizen’s Reinvestment Act of 1976 requiring lenders to loan money to people they knew couldn’t repay it, a “recipe for disaster” that they “tripped” just before the 2008 election) to get elected killed it and caused one of the biggest recessions in years. Now they’re blaming the recession THEY caused on the Republicans because they were “in power” when it started. Now they're going about, gaily spending money they don't have, and raising taxes, "willy-nilly," hoping to pay for it one of these days while keeping the power they stole. (Personal Liberty Digest)

McChrystal Wanted Out

I can’t think of any other reason for saying his “biggest enemies are the wimps in Washington.”  They are. He well knows the story of General McArthur, who was similarly not allowed to do what was necessary in Korea to win the war. He sees the same things happening in Iraq and Afghanistan and he wants no part of it. He doesn’t want those “wimps in Washington” to ruin his reputation as a warrior so he manufactures a reason to quit. He isn’t a “quitter” in the normal sense of the word. He can whip any enemy as long as the enemy is not his own boss. The “wimps in Washington” lost Korean war and the Viet Nam war while the soldiers were winning it in spite of them. The descendants of those wimps, if they are allowed to continue, will lost the “war on terrorism” and McChrystal wants to be gone when it happens so he can go home, get his own gun, and kill any terrorists who come his way after the wimps lose.

Obama: "Birth Certificates Don't Matter"

Which is a big load of stinky brown stuff. What's he been smoking? The Constitution clearly states that a president MUST be a “natural born American.” If he is not, then he is not ELIGIBLE to be president. Why he wasn’t forced to show his birth certificate before even being allowed to RUN, I can’t say. But the very fact he is resisting showing it so hard tells me a lot. If he is NOT eligible, then every action he has taken as president is illegal and should be reversed. I wasn’t even interested in this until I saw Obama working so hard NOT to have to show his birth certificate. Simply showing it would set this controversy to rest—IF he is a citizen of the United States. Only if he is NOT is this resistance understandable. The very act of ridiculing those who question his eligibility by calling them “birthers” tells me a lot about him AND his right to BE president. I think he is deathly afraid the “birthers” are right and will succeed. (Just common sense)

States With NO Income Tax

Anybody with enough money to count makes his/her “home” in Florida or other states with no income tax. Rush Limbaugh moved there some time ago, and the State of New York audits him every year and makes him prove, many ways, that he has not earned a PENNY in New York. This author says “If you punish people for working and reward them for not working, soon fewer and fewer people will be working.” That’s what New York does, and Florida doesn’t. That’s why so many New Yorkers are moving out of that state. And instead of lowering their taxes, they “investigate” the people who move out, and founder around, trying to figure out why so many moneyed people are moving elsewhere—as if it were not obvious to anybody with any degree of intelligence.

Raising Social Security Age to 70

“In an interview with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, House Minority Leader John Boehner [A REPUBLICAN, ferGawd’ssake! -RT] suggested that we need to raise the Social Security retirement age to 70. Boehner also suggested that people with substantial retirement income probably shouldn't be collecting Social Security. What do you think?” I think people who have paid in all these years should be able to get their money back, no matter how much money they have. When FDR imposed that pyramid scheme called Social Security on an unsuspecting public, he set the age at which people could start collecting THEIR MONEY back at 65, knowing that, at the time, the average life expectancy was somewhere around 65. He was hoping people would not live long enough to collect it for long. Now people are living a LOT longer and collecting it for a longer time so they want to reneg and move the age to collect forward five years into the NEW “life expectancy” level so as to limit the amount of time people can collect it.

U. S. Money to HAMAS

We should not be sending money to a terrorist organization like HAMAS under ANY circumstances. There is NO REASON to send money to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Any problems they have, they brought on themselves by shooting rocket bombs into Israel to kill randomly as many men, women, and CHILDREN as they can. That is why there is an embargo on Gaza. To keep the Palestinian terrorists from bringing in more weapons with which to murder more Israelis. (Town Hall)

Typical Liberal

She admits a memo is in her own handwriting, but she will not admit WRITING it. My question is, how can it BE in her handwriting if she didn’t write it? This is the typical stupidity of a liberal. And this is the woman Obama wants on the Supreme Court for the next thirty years. I can’t believe the unalterable STUPIDITY of these people! How can a memo be in her handwriting if she didn’t write it? Has anybody asked her that question? (Rush Limbaugh)

What Was The Trick?

Ann Coulter asks that question in this article about Alvin Greene’s surprise victory over a local typical politician in the election of a candidate to run against a “shoo-in Republican” for the Senate. Sure, Greene is facing prosecution for showing “dirty pictures” to a minor (a typical Democrat politician). But his mistake is in not waiting to be elected before doing it, as other elected Democrats have done. Sure, he has no employment record, no organization, no “slush fund,” and says he is so broke he can’t afford a lawyer to fight those charges. So where did he get that $10G he spent to run? He’s obviously not a “member in good standing” of the Democrat Party because they don’t ask such questions of their members. Usually only of Republicans. They say there “must be a trick” by Republicans to win an election that was a “shoo-in.” Why? Why would they bother? But they don’t say what the “trick” was, as usual. And only Ann is asking. Will she get an answer? Doubtful. Democrats don’t read her columns. (Ann Coulter)
