White House to Announce ‘Accommodation’ for Religious Organizations on Contraception Rule
With the White House under fire for its new rule requiring employers including religious organizations to offer health insurance that fully covers birth control coverage, ABC News has learned that later today the White House — possibly President Obama himself — will likely announce an attempt to accommodate these religious groups.
The move, based on state models, will almost certainly not satisfy bishops and other religious leaders since it will preserve the goal of women employees having their birth control fully covered by health insurance.
Sources say it will be respectful of religious beliefs but will not back off from that goal, which many religious leaders oppose since birth control is in violation of their religious beliefs.
The Classless Left
America….We Have A Problem!
What is that problem? Well, the laundry list is long, but in this case, I’m talking about two bills, HR 998 and S 555, both titled “Student Non-Discrimination Act of 2011 – To end discrimination based on actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity in public schools, and for other purposes“. Of course, the usual suspects are all co-sponsors.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t think anyone should be discriminated against, for any reason. I do, however, feel that making a certain group of people a ‘special class’ is ridiculous! It is more and more obvious that this country has lost it’s roots, and we are now floundering in the cesspool of ‘secular religion’. The intent of the bills on the surface, and I’m just guessing here, is to stop bullying. Well, we already have laws that are suppose to do that, as in ya don’t punch someone in the nose because they don’t think or act like you. 
Congress evidently believes they can overrule God!
Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.
This is not the only passage in the Bible that sets down the law, but it is the most well known one.
A brief summary of what this bill will do (from an email from the Public Advocate of the United States):
*** Require schools to teach appalling homosexual acts so “homosexual students” don’t feel “singled out” during already explicit sex-ed classes;
*** Spin impressionable students in a whirlwind of sexual confusion and misinformation, even peer pressure to “experiment” with the homosexual “lifestyle;”
*** Exempt homosexual students from punishment for propositioning, harassing, or even sexually assaulting their classmates, as part of their specially-protected right to “freedom of self-expression;”
*** Force private and even religious schools to teach a pro-homosexual curriculum and purge any reference to religion if a student claims it creates a “hostile learning environment” for homosexual students.
In reality, the bills are promoting discrimination, but that’s not all that unusual for the radical left.
SEC. 5. FEDERAL ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT; REPORT TO CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES.
(b) Enforcement- Compliance with any requirement adopted pursuant to this section may be effected–
(1) by the termination of or refusal to grant or to continue assistance under such program or activity to any recipient as to whom there has been an express finding on the record, after opportunity for hearing, of a failure to comply with such requirement, but such termination or refusal shall be limited to the particular political entity, or part thereof, or other recipient as to whom such a finding has been made, and shall be limited in its effect to the particular program, or part thereof, in which such noncompliance has been so found; or
So, let me get this straight…no pun intended…if a public school doesn’t doesn’t comply with this law, and put their (both student and faculty) eternal souls at jeopardy, the federal gubmint will cut off funding? Somehow, refusing to return OUR money to OUR schools just doesn’t seem right. Well, of course not…it’s wrong, aka LEFT.
Section 7, STATE IMMUNITY
(a) State Immunity- A State shall not be immune under the 11th Amendment to the Constitution from suit in Federal court for a violation of this Act.
So, a state can’t opt out of this obvious violation of the 1st Amendment? Am I reading that correctly? People are suppose to be free to speak their minds, practice their faith, and NOT be penalized. With these bills, a person can NOT practice their faith, or speak about it to others. But yet, the religion of government is free to impose their will on the American people. Does anyone else have a problem with this, besides me?
Please, go read BOTH bills. They aren’t very long. I don’t much care for bullies, of any gender, or status. What I am seeing in these bills is the bullying of the American people by the very Congress whose salary they pay.
There is a petition to Congress, opposing these bills, not that Congress gives a flying flip what WE, The People have to say, but it doesn’t hurt to give it a shot!
NO Second Chance
President Obama: ‘I deserve a second term’
President Obama in a pre-Super Bowl interview aired on Sunday said that despite being unable to completely turn the economy around in three years, he still deserves to be re-elected.
“I deserve a second term but we’re not done,” Obama told NBC’s Matt Lauer in an interview broadcast from the White House.
First question: Why does this fool think that anyone wanted to hear him bumping his gums on Super Bowl Sunday?
Second question: What on earth makes him believe he deserves a damn thing, other than our scorn?
Lauer noted that in a pre-Super Bowl interview three years ago, Obama had said “If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.”
Obama said that three years ago the economy was losing 750,000 jobs a month and the latest unemployment data from Friday shows. “Now we are creating 250,000,” he said.
Sorry, cooking the numbers doesn’t make it true. Why are there more people having to get food stamps now than ever before in our history? You said one term, we’re taking you at your word. You have NOT turned the economy around. As a matter of fact, it is worse! Even the New York Times has a problem with Obama’s numbers.
The Labor Department estimated on Friday that the economy gained 243,000 jobs.
The department also estimated that the economy lost 2,689,000 jobs in the month.
Let’s see…ya take that lost number, subtract that gain, and what do you get? A NEGATIVE! Which is what we’ve had for quite a while. The downturn started under Bush’s watch in 2007. What happened in 2007?
Bloomberg’s Push To Arm Criminals
Bloomberg reloads in push for gun control
Among the slick, million-dollar ads for the likes of Pepsi and Honda during the Super Bowl this Sunday, viewers in New York and Boston will see a far more modest spot. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino will be sitting on a couch touting an issue most politicians avoid like the plague: gun control.
No, actually, what they want is people control. Control people, be a dick-tater.
The two mayors, whose local teams face off in the big game, are making the pitch for Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), the organization they co-founded in 2006.
I don’t suppose both teams could lose, just to give both morons a black eye? No, didn’t think so. I won’t be watching the game anyway….I’ll be at church…”Lord willing and the creek don’t rise”!
Murder has been on the decline in New York and other major American cities for years, but the mayors say they still see too many dead cops and teens. On Tuesday night, Bloomberg was at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan visiting a New York police officer who had just been shot in the face in Brooklyn.
“We have someone who’s dedicated his life to protecting all of us, who has had a much too close brush with death tonight because of what appears to be an illegal gun,” Bloomberg told a news conference. He added that more Americans have been killed by illegal guns since 1968 than were killed in World War II.
I’m guessing Bloomberg doesn’t see the irony of that statement? ILLEGAL guns. Not law abiding LEGAL gunowners, but criminals, who can get their hands on guns about anytime they want….ILLEGALLY! Perhaps the weasel should reconsider allowing law abiding citizens to arm themselves, and push back against the thugs? Naw….that makes WAY too much sense. What the clown is doing, is violating the citizens of New York’s Constitutionally protected right to “keep and bear arms”. But that’s what libs do!
OUR Money, Their Agenda
Legislation Prohibits Taxpayer-Funded Attack Ads on Soda
Rob Bluey
New legislation introduced in the U.S. House yesterday would prohibit the use of federal money for advertisements attacking products like Coke and Pepsi.
Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-TN) introduced the bill to counter a growing trend of anti-obesity ads that are funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Scribe reported in October the money was included in President Obama’s economic stimulus law.
When I first saw that headline, I thought….there they go again! But after reading the whole post, I must say, I totally agree with what I read of the legislation. If there is other nonsense stuck in the bill, I’m not aware of it. Now, I realize that diabetes is a very serious disease, and obesity is a problem, but to fake pictures, and attack U.S. companies that provide jobs for American citizens is taking it too far. Not to mention using our money to attack those companies.
New York City received $15.5 million in federal funding for its anti-obesity efforts. While it has generated most of the attention for its eye-catching ads, other cities are engaging in similar practices. In Philadelphia, the city spent $2.4 million on ads attacking soda. Campaigns have also popped up in Boston, Los Angeles, Seattle and even Topeka, KS.
The 2009 stimulus, of course, was sold to Congress as a plan to revive the economy by creating or saving millions of jobs. According to Smart Taxpayers Exposing Waste, a campaign launched by the American Beverage Association, Philadelphia could have used the money it spent on ads to hire 52 police officers, 54 firemen, 57 paramedics, 58 teachers or 88 EMTs.
Now we know why the porkulus was such a failure. It was pushed as a spending spree to get the economy moving, and provide jobs. When the number of jobs that COULD have been created is canceled out by Big Brother pushing an agenda instead of considering the safety of citizens FIRST, I’d have to say the porkulus was a MAJOR FAIL! If any city needs more cops (from reading SYLG), it would be Philadelphia!
Thieves, Liars and Cheats
‘God’-awful OWS mob steals sacred item from church
There’s no longer room at the inn at a Manhattan church that’s sheltering Occupy Wall Streeters after a holy vessel disappeared from the altar last week.
When the Rev. Bob Brashear prepared for Sunday services at West Park Presbyterian Church on West 86th Street, he noticed parts of the bronze baptismal font were gone.
In a fire-and-brimstone message to occupiers later that day, he thundered, “It was like pissing on the 99 percent.”
In Brooklyn, at another church housing OWS protesters, an occupier urinated on a cross, according to Rabbi Chaim Gruber, who has angrily abandoned the OWS movement.
In a letter last week to OWS obtained by The Post, the rabbi fumed, “The Park Slope church housing occupiers was desecrated when an occupier peed inside the building and the pee came into contact with a cross.”
The pastor of the church did not return calls.
At West Park, Rev. Brashear walked into the church for a morning service to find the 18-inch-diameter bronze basin and lid missing from the baptismal font’s 800-pound base. Holy water — straight from the River Jordan — had been poured from the missing basin insert into the base’s bowl.
About 60 occupiers had rolled out their sleeping bags between the pews the night before as part of their evening ritual, Rev. Brashear recalled. When they returned to the church later, following the pastor’s discovery, he issued a stern warning: “You have 24 hours to find it and to come up with an amends and to come up with a plan. ‘I’m sorry and it won’t happen again’ won’t work,” he scolded.
Liars, cheaters, and thieves. Yep…these are Obama and the Dems’ buddies.
The pastor has given the trashy slugs 2 weeks to vacate? Horse manure! Kick ‘em out NOW! Take whatever possessions these slime balls have, sell what worth anything, and donate the rest to charity. Likely though, it would all have to be burned, due to vermin, don’cha know!
Isn’t it odd that you never hear of any Tea Partiers stealing or destroying or desecrating? But then, the media hates us, and turns the scum of the earth into heroes. Says a LOT about the media and the Democrats, doesn’t it.
An Evil Marriage
Democrats: The Only Thing Standing Between Organized Labor and Irrelevance
Although purporting to be the party that supports workers’ rights, the Democrats have risen in unified opposition to guaranteeing American laborers one of their most fundamental freedoms: the ability to choose whether or not to join a union. For instance, the Democratic Governor of New Hampshire, John Lynch, vetoed a previous right-to-work bill passed overwhelmingly by his state’s legislature.
Even President Obama has injected himself into these local disputes, claiming: “When I hear some of these folks trying to pass so-called ‘right to work’ laws for private sector workers, that really means the right to work for less and less and less. When I hear some of this talk, I know this is not about economics. This is about politics.”
Read the whole post at Big Government.
I’ve never hidden my opinion of unions or of the Democrat Party, and I’m not about to start now! Contrary to what they would like the public believe, neither entities give a flying flip about the ‘little guy’, the middle class, or anyone at all for that matter. It’s all about power and control with those two, and they walk hand in hand. Oh, Obama spins a pretty picture, full of rainbow farting unicorns, but it’s all a huge fantasy, with major ulterior motives…..control. The unions? Well, the dues paying members have been fed a bill of goods, and none at the top have the actual working person’s best interests at heart. As a matter of fact, unions are one of the reasons so many companies have sent their manufacturing operations overseas.
Both the Democrats and the unions promote violence towards anyone who would stand in the way of their ultimate goals. POWER! Once they get what they want, the “little people” will be nothing but tools for them use to keep control of the masses. Time to snap out of the Dem stupor, and start thinking for yourselves!
Are You People DEAF????
Spending Bills Passed by GOP House Increased Debt $1T in 10 Months
Federal spending bills approved by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives have increased the national debt by more than $1 trillion dollars in just 10 months.
Republicans won a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives in the November 2010 elections and took control of the House on Jan. 5, 2011, when the chamber convened and elected Rep. John Boehner (R.-Calif.) as speaker.
Was our message not clear enough? Should we have camped out in your offices to make sure you DID get the message??? Should we behave like the trashy Occupy Wall Street slimes, and take up residence, smelling to high heaven, sharing vermin with the rest of the residents of the area?
But the Republican-controlled House did not gain a veto power over federal spending until March 4, 2011. That was the expiration date of the continuing resolution (CR) that the lame-duck Democrat-controlled Congress approved in December 2010. After March 4, federal spending has been approved by legislation that needed to be approved in the Republican-controlled House.
On March 1, 2011, the Republican-controlled House passed its first CR to fund the government after March 4. Since then, it has approved a series of CRs to keep the government funded. The Republican House approved its latest CR on December 16. It will keep the government funded until the end of fiscal 2012 on Sept. 30.
ONE TRILLION DOLLARS! $1,000,000,000,000!!!!
Eighty-six House Republicans went against their party leaders and voted against the Dec. 16 CR, which actually garnered more votes from House Democrats (149) than House Republicans (147).
When the Republican-controlled House approved its first CR on March 4, 2011, the national debt was 14,182,627,184,881.03, according to the U.S. Treasury. As of the close of business on Jan. 9, 2012, the national debt was 15,236,506,139,986.86.
Those 147 Republicans should start looking for a new job! I’m not the only one that is fed up with D.C. wasting OUR money! The Democrats have been having a high ol’ time spending money that doesn’t belong to them for many decades now, and evidently, the Republicans are trying to play catch up! HEY!!! IT IS NOT YOUR MONEY!!!
That means the debt increased by $1.05 trillion over the past ten months.
That equals approximately $8,964 for each of the 117,572,000 American households estimated by the Census Bureau.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t have a spare 9 grand laying around each month. I don’t have a spare quarter, thanks to the stupidity that runs rampant up there! The whole idea of 2010 was to STOP the madness, and bring some sanity back. Obviously, it didn’t work, and WE, The People got screwed over, once again!
At the current rate, the Republican-controlled House is agreeing to allow the U.S. Treasury to borrow approximately an additional $896 per month American household per month.
Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution says: “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” Article 1, Section 7 says that every bill “shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate … before it become a Law.”
The hell with it! You are ALL FREAKIN’ FIRED! Seems that ‘oath of office’ means NOTHING to you people! Not a one of y’all are worth the effort that we put forth to get y’all elected, with one or two exception. And I’m starting to wonder about them as well!
Democrat “Tools”
Former CNN Reporter Claims GOP Stuffed With Voters Who Want ‘Good Old Days of Jim Crow’
The latest liberal tendency — to try and cast Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum as racists, or cynical race-baiters to a party stuffed full of racists — is an absolute natural for “Reverend” Al Sharpton on MSNBC. On the Sharpton show Politics Nation on Friday night, former CNN reporter Bob Franken shoved both candidates into the mud for their talk of blacks and government dependency: “I think this is very intentional. I think it is part of a hateful campaign that is being very methodically run in the hope it`s going to appeal to voters who would love to see us return to the good old days of Jim Crow.”
Really? Wouldn’t a so called journalist check facts? But then, we no longer have journalists. We have the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party sitting behind the anchor desks and typewriters now.
In 1832, the phrase “Jim Crow” was born. By 1900, every former Confederate state (including Wyoming, Missouri, Ohio, Utah, Kentucky, Kansas and Oklahoma) had enacted “Jim Crow” laws prohibiting everything from interracial marriage to racially integrated public school systems. These state laws served to place blacks back on a virtual plantation. Similar to the “Black Codes” that came before them, Jim Crow laws were numerous. However, one denominator codified their sound support in Southern states: They all resulted from Democratic legislators of the “Solid South.” (source)
Seriously, you’d think that even Al Sharpton should know the truth, but evidently, he’s just a poverty pimp tool for the Democrats, so will tow the line for the Democrat ‘massas’. Perhaps Mr Sharpton should read up on his history, and make sure that so called former “journalist” gets educated as well!
How long are we going to let the blatant LIES continue? But hey, don’t take my word for it! There is plenty of evidence that it is the Democrat Party that is the party of racists! And the history of their racism is LONG!
It wasn’t the Democrats who freed the slaves. It wasn’t the Democrats who authored bill after bill to promote civil rights. It wasn’t the Republicans who stood in the school house door. It wasn’t the Republicans who killed civil rights activists. It wasn’t the Republicans who imposed a ‘voter literacy test‘. It was the Democrat Party that had/has (?) a terrorist arm, NOT the Republicans.
Jim Crow? Seriously? Get a clue!
The “Out Of Touch” Dems
Democrats photo-bomb the Iowa caucuses
Democratic campaign officials are fighting to get onto the GOP’s Iowa podium, because they’re hoping to jostle the GOP candidates, trip up Mitt Romney and color the public’s image of the Republican coalition and the eventual winner.
Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz will be in Des Moines, Iowa, on Tuesday, where she’s expected to slam Romney as an out-of-touch elitist.
Have mercy! If there is ANYONE out of touch, it would be Wasserman-Schultz! Here’s a serious question: Do Republicans behave the same way when it comes to the Democrat events and such? I’m not aware of any incidents. I know I have attended a ‘townhall’ held by a Dem senator (Feingold), and even though they had to bus in “supporters”, we, as a group, were sincere in wanting to know what he had to say. Naturally, he glossed over, or failed to address our concerns. But we were quite respectful, unlike how Dems behave.
Brad Woodhouse, the DNC’s communications chief, was in the state Jan. 1. He worked to damage the former Massachusetts governor’s campaign by trying to shape reporters’ coverage of Romney‘s win or loss in the race.
“Romney has now predicted a win tomorrow. He’s been running for 5 years, is all in here and has spent millions to win. He sure better,” said a Monday evening tweet from Woodhouse.
Democrats also showed off their Iowa general-election organization in the hope of a getting favorable comparisons to the Republicans’ ill-funded, ramshackle campaigns.
Let us worry about our field. If Romney wins the caucus, so what? Is it really any of YOUR business? Look at what you’ve got sitting in the White House, and tell me again about “out of touch”, and “elitists”. The man/child won’t even talk to your party folks. Jeeeez!Not Just NO, But HELL NO!
The White House plans to ask Congress by the end of the week for an increase in the government’s debt ceiling to allow the United States to pay its bills on time, according to a senior Treasury Department official on Tuesday.
The approval is expected to go through without a challenge, given that Congress is in recess until later in January and the request is in line with an agreement to keep the U.S. government funded into 2013.
Uh…no Bubba…what you NEED is your sorry ass kicked to the curb, and as soon as is humanly possible! And anyone who allows you to suck any more money from our pockets needs to be in the gutter with you!!
Payroll Tax Cut Spin
I know I can’t be the only one who KNOWS a full year, also known as 12 months, of the payroll tax cut is BETTER than a miniscule 2 months.
Harry Reid and Rainbow Farting Unicorns
Sen. Harry Reid’s Unicorns: Fact Checking a Whopper
Tax policy should be serious business carried out by serious politicians using real facts and figures. This is why we have the Library of Congress and the Congressional Budget Office, among other expert institutions.
How can we take Congress seriously when the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, makes patently inaccurate, outrageous and bizarre claims on an important tax-policy issue without any heads being turned? I guess this is what we have come to expect of Congress. No wonder citizens with favorable opinions of Congress are as rare as unicorns, to borrow a phrase.
Congress’ ratings suck because Congress sucks. It’s pretty much that simple. We have no trust in a body of arrogant back stabbers who are suppose to be working for US, not against us at every turn.
Harry Reid’s statement on December 6 on his proposed 1.9 percent surtax on million-dollar incomes has kicked up some dust. Here is his statement:
“Millionaire job creators are like unicorns. They’re impossible to find, and they don’t exist… Only a tiny fraction of people making more than a million dollars, probably less than 1 percent, are small business owners. And only a tiny fraction of that tiny fraction are traditional job creators…Most of these businesses are hedge fund managers or wealthy lawyers. They don’t do much hiring and they don’t need tax breaks.”
I’m tellin’ ya….this guy needs to be put out to pasture! Millionaire’s don’t create jobs? Really? What has Bill Gates been doing? How about Steve Jobs? I guess they had their own unicorn’s farting rainbows filled with pots of gold, eh? The dud shows all the signs of being either in early onset of Alzheimers or he is just flat out insane, and in need of a heavy dose of thorazine!
Taking their cue, National Public Radio launched a search for one millionaire job creator. They triumphantly announced:
“NPR requested help from numerous Republican congressional offices, including House and Senate leadership. They were unable to produce a single millionaire job creator for us to interview.”
Really? Ya know, I find it absolutely amazing that no matter what we say, we are still funding NPR. What a bunch of useless libtards. And they still beg for more from clueless listeners. I seriously doubt they could survive in the real world where the market actually dictated the need for their, uh….non-services.
Were it not for Google, I would have accepted Harry Reid’s unicorn story and NPR’s confirmation. Unlike Harry Reid’s office, I went to the IRS’s Table 1.4 “Sources of income, adjustments, and tax size of adjusted gross income, 2009” to check things out. (I summarize my sources in a separate blog posting). Here is what I found:
There are 236,883 tax filers with incomes of a million dollars or more. By Harry Reid’s count, only one percent, or 2,361 of them, are business owners, and a tiny fraction of them create jobs. I do not know what Harry means when he says “a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction.” If we let 5 percent represent Harry’s “tiny fraction,” we are left with 118 businesses owners who earn a million or more and create jobs. Yes, they are only slightly less rare than unicorns, if Harry is to be believed.
This leaves 236,765 million-dollar-plus tax payers, most of whom are “hedge fund managers and wealthy lawyers” who “don’t create jobs and don’t need tax breaks.”
I would have to say that Reid’s staff is totally incompetent. But then, so is Reid, so I guess they’re all a good match. Heed the words Mr Reid: Google is your friend. Or if you prefer, Bing will also aid you in your search for a fact or two.
My Google search for Harry Reid’s quarter million hedge fund managers and wealthy lawyers came up empty handed. I could identify at most sixteen thousand “wealthy lawyers and hedge fund managers,” not Harry Reid’s quarter million.
Well, Harry Reid’s numbers leave much to be desired, but maybe he is right that millionaire business owners do not create jobs.
What does the IRS have to say about this? Millionaire tax filers earn a total taxable income of $623 billion, on which they pay the highest average rate (30 percent) of any tax bracket. (Either Warren Buffet’s secretary has an incompetent tax accountant or Buffet has some pretty juicy tax breaks. I think the latter is more likely). A 1.9 percent tax surcharge on million-dollar-earners would yield $11 billion, assuming those shifty millionaires take no evasive action to avoid the tax.
I’m more inclined to say that Warren Buffet has lost what little sense he has, and will soon be sharing a rubber room with Harry Reid. While there are many people who are totally clueless, and will not do any investigation for themselves, there are just as many who WILL. This leaves people like Buffet, Reid, Pelosi, and D’Bama with a dilemma. What to do about the folks who aren’t as stupid as they believe? Well, they are doing their darnedest to silence any dissent from their rainbows and unicorn scenario, of course!
Millionaire tax filers earn $221 billion – almost a quarter of a trillion — from business and professions, partnerships, and S-corporations. This is puzzling: If Harry Reid’s figure is correct (2,361 millionaire businesses), then the average millionaire-owned business earns almost a hundred million dollars, and all, except 118 of them, do this without hiring anyone. These super heroes do their own typing, selling, drafting. public relations, building, and manufacturing. They do not need employees. Remarkable!
I wonder, since Harry Reid has become quite rich off the backs of the taxpayers, does he actually create any private sector jobs? Hmmm… Evidently, all those real business folks have managed to become quite wealthy (good on them) without doing a thing. How can I get into that racket? Not that I care about being rich or anything, but I’d really like to learn how these folks manage it without producing any products that the public wants, or without hiring hundreds or even thousands to not produce anything.
To summarize:
Millionaire tax filers earn almost a quarter trillion dollars from their businesses. They must hire hundreds of thousands of employees to do so.
There are a trivial number of millionaire hedge-fund managers and wealthy lawyers (who, according to Harry, do not hire anyone and don’t need tax breaks). The millionaire tax surcharge is not aimed at them, but at the tens of thousands of millionaire business owners.
To put it in ol’ broad terms…. Harry Reid is full of caca de toro!
Disappointment Is Too Mild A Word!
I love Marsha Blackburn. She is a delightful lady and a solidly conservative member of Congress.
And I am pledging right now that I will do everything in my power to defeat her in her 2012 re-election bid.
I wonder if the left feels that way about Debbie Wasserman Schultz?
Both Marsha Blackburn and Debbie Wasserman Schults, the head of the Democratic National Committee and a Congresswoman from Florida, are cosponsors of the Stop Online Piracy Act.
The Act intends to stop online piracy. The way the Act goes about doing this is, in large part, allowing Eric Holder to take control of the internet and shut down websites he does not like. It is a totalitarian response from a bipartisan coalition of Congresscritters most of whom admit they have no freaking idea how the internet even works. Don’t believe me?
Ok, I’d have to say disgust is a much better word, and even that doesn’t quite cover it! The idea that Marsha Blackburn would collaborate on ANYTHING with that raving lunatic is beyond rational. The fact that this bill would give the worst Attorney General in our history the power to shut down anything he deemed necessary, or just doesn’t like, is even MORE unbelievable.
Marsha, you know I think quite highly of you, or at least I did. However, this is just beyond reason. You have always been as close to my ideal conservative as a person can get, but this is just mind blowing! You have led the way in many areas to try to retain our liberties, yet you would sign your name to co-sponsor a bill like this? Have you become so entrenched in Washington politics that you have forgotten all about us? With an alternative like the OPEN Act, I would think you would re-consider signing your name to such a violation. Giving such a power to anyone even remotely related to the Obama administration should have set off warning bells in your head. Stopping online piracy is a good thing. Giving Holder the power to shut down people who tend to criticize this administration, is flat out censorship. Does the name Joseph Goebbels ring a bell? Propaganda is a real useful tool, and I think you’ve been sucked into the Dems version.
