How Many Geithners Are There To Help Out?
Jul 10, 2011 Political
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said that there will be hard times for Americans for a long time to come. He also said that Barack Obama rescued us from the second Great Depression, the financial mess caused by his party and their careless ways. Geithner is pushing lawmakers to raise the debt ceiling so that we will not default. This is hyperbole designed to stir up the masses because we will not default. The country takes in 200 billion dollars a month and the amount needed to service the debt is about 20 Billion dollars, or ten percent of what we take in.
What we will not have is money to pay for the items that are not associated with servicing the debt. We will not default on our debt but we will have to cut way back on some programs, programs that should have been paired down or eliminated a long time ago.
As Geithner is out predicting doom and gloom the Democrats are pushing for 2 trillion dollars in tax increases coupled with 4 trillion dollars in cuts (over ten years). This is a non starter for Republicans who know that raising taxes in a bad economy is not a good thing and that lower taxes, in general, are better for our financial health.
But since we are talking about taxes perhaps we should explore an area where more tax revenue can be brought in. Why don’t we go after people like Tim Geithner, you know, those who don’t pay their taxes.
There are a number of people in this country who do not pay the taxes they owe. Hell, look how many Obama appointees or nominees to positions had tax problems. If this is a representation of the Democrat political class in this country then there are a lot of people out there we can go after to increase revenue. There are lot of them and you know who they are. These are the folks, like John Kerry, who think it is perfectly OK to tax us to death but who go out of their way to avoid paying the taxes they owe. Kerry did not keep his luxury yacht in his home state in order to avoid paying the taxes. He also pays taxes at the lower rate in his state.
So I propose that we audit every person in this country who is in a government elected or appointed position including advisers who receive no federal pay so that we can ensure they are paying their fair share of the tax burden. Tim Geithner did not pay his taxes and, come to think of it, neither did Charlie Rangel. It is high time we hold these people’s feet to the fire and make them pay up.
Before they start going after the people in this country who pay nearly all the taxes they need to go after those who are trying to get that money.
Maybe if we find all these tax dodgers and make them pay we will have enough money to cover the debt. Likely not but why let that stop us since the fact that taxing the rich at 100% would not pay off the debt does not stop these people from going after them.
We are hurting and Geithner says it will continue for a long time. It is because people like him failed to pay up coupled with failed Democrat policies that we are in this mess in the first place.
Time for pitchforks and torches…
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Democrats Continue With The Race Card
May 19, 2011 Political
To Democrats, Republicans are racists. There is no getting around it because the left will invent racism where it does not exist or redefine it in order to make the claim. Oppose Barack Obama’s policies, racist. Oppose illegal aliens entering our country, racist (despite the fact that a person’s nationality is NOT a race). Note to liberals, Hispanic is not a race and neither is Islamic or Muslim (though some are listed as “race” on forms, they are not races).
The Democrats make these claims despite the fact that it has been Republicans who have been on the side of equal and civil rights. Republicans ended slavery, introduced civil rights legislation, and were the driving force in passing the Civil Rights Act. All Democrats have done is treat minorities as second class citizens by using affirmative action and welfare as tools to control people. The very nature of affirmative action is that the minority is not capable of achieving on his own and requires his betters to help him. It is racism and it comes from the left.
Democrats have to invent the boogeyman of racism in order to fire up the base, a base so use to hearing about racism that it too sees race in every issue. Donna Brazile, a Democrat, has an article out in USA Today discussing the GOP 2012 Game Plan as one of disenfranchisement. She goes on to explain that voter fraud laws and laws requiring ID to vote are discriminatory to minorities, cost lots of money, and are implemented in battleground states, like Ohio, where there is no history of voter fraud. Funny, when Democrats lose in Ohio, they scream voter fraud.
Another funny thing is that Democrats will work extra hard to disenfranchise the votes coming in from the military. I do not recall Brazile writing a column about the continuous disenfranchisement of military members by politicians on the left. The left has, year after year, found ways to discount tens of thousands of votes from the people serving in our military. And guess what, all those folks have a valid ID card.
There are many stories about voter fraud in places like Ohio despite the claims to the contrary.
[note]In Ohio a man from Illinois is taken to vote.
Voting irregularities in Florida and Ohio[/note]
There are heavily Democrat areas where 125% of the population voted in the last election. There are recounts where hundreds of votes for Democrats miraculously appear in order to change the vote and guarantee the win. Democrats know how to cheat and they do it very well. ACORN was set up to help them with that endeavor. The fraud there should be enough to demonstrate the need for ID and other measures.
But no, to Brazile it is a matter of racism. The poor people will not be able to vote because they can’t get an ID card. So tell me, how do these people get welfare? You need to prove who you are in order to get welfare so how do they do that?
While one could argue if voting is an individual right (the Constitution does not list it as an explicit right, only reasons you can’t be denied the “right to vote”). In other words, a state could change the way people are elected and eliminate a vote. The federal government could do that. However, assuming we have a “right” to vote why is it that an ID is not required to exercise that right?
We have an absolute right to keep and bear arms and yet many states infringe on that right. There is no state where one can buy a gun without showing an ID. So tell me, if I have to show an ID to buy a gun why does a person not have to show an ID to vote?
We have to show identification to open a bank account, sign our kids up for sports or school, get a driver’s license, enter a federal or state government building, get on an airplane, buy alcohol or tobacco and when requested by a police officer.
So tell me, why is voting any different? What makes it so special that people should not have to show an ID to do it?
And don’t bother telling me how people can’t afford an ID. I am tired of that argument. If you want to vote then you can get an ID (in the unlikely event you do not have one). You can give up smokes for a few days and pay for an ID. And NO, the government should not provide one to you for free. If I want to buy a gun but do not have an ID you can bet the government will NOT provide one for me and buying a gun, unlike voting, is a clearly enumerated right in our Constitution.
To put it another way, if you are unable to get an ID you should not be allowed to vote.
Yes, Brazile is worried about the 21 million Americans of voting age who do not have an ID and therefore will not be able to vote. Since one is required to show an ID to get a job it would appear that there are bigger concerns than voting here. Perhaps these disenfranchised Democrats should get a photo ID so they can GET A JOB.
Brazile might be right about this affecting Democrats more than Republicans. Getting an ID is a matter of personal responsibility and Democrats lack that attribute.
However, for those still concerned that folks won’t get an ID just tell them they need it for their gubmint check and they will jump right up and get it.
One last thing, Brazile is concerned that the laws reducing the number of days of early voting and removing the ability to change one’s address on Election Day will affect people. What kind of drugs does she take? A change of address does not sneak up on people and neither does Election Day. People are able to address this prior to Election Day. Anyone who waits until Election Day to deal with this is demonstrating a lack of personal responsibility. As for early voting, the longer the polls are open the more opportunity there is for fraud.
I will offer this to Ms. Brazile. Our game plan is not to keep voters home. It is to ensure that only those who are eligible to vote do so and that they only do it once (and in the correct polling place). PERIOD. My game plan would be to require a birth certificate to register to vote and an ID to actually vote. I needed that to join the Army so there should be no complaints.
I also add that the penalty for fraudulent voting (and voter intimidation, hear that Eric Holder) should be mandatory 10 years in jail with no parole and no probation. If you vote in Florida and also in New York and get caught then you should go to jail for 10 years with no exception. PERIOD.
We need to stop pussy footing around with people and hold them responsible.
And we need people like Donna Brazile to crawl back under her rock and quit with the cries of racism and claims of disenfranchisement. Her party is the guilty party and the story could very easily have been written, DEMs game plan for 2012. Disenfranchise the military like they do every election.
But what would America be without the race baiters to stir up phony claims of racism?
It would be a better place where minorities were not held captive on the left’s plantation…
Cave Canem!

35 Days And Counting
Apr 26, 2011 Political
The price of a gallon of gas when Obama took office was just under two dollars after it had nearly doubled that mark causing Democrats to blame the “oil men” in the White House for the problems. Investigations were launched (nothing was ever found) and when prices went down again, the Democrats moved on to their next item with which to beat the Republican president.
Now gas prices are way up and have eclipsed five dollars a gallon in some places and the price has risen for 35 consecutive days. Obama’s answer has been to blame speculators (were there no speculators the last time) and to tell people perhaps they should not be driving cars that get eight miles to a gallon (without actually knowing if that was the case). Democrats are mostly silent and though Obama is talking the talk, the fact is he wanted gas prices to go higher.
He would have preferred that it was more gradual but he wanted them to rise. In his mind, rising gas prices will force people to cut back consumption and allow him and his regime to pursue their “green” agenda of solar and wind, as if either can power a car.
Before Obama took office he discussed gas prices and said he wanted them to go up so keep this in mind when he acts as if he is pained by it actually happening. He wanted it to happen and it has.
Saying he wanted to see gas prices go up and actually having it happen has a bright side for the Obama supporters.
He finally kept his word on something.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Big Oil Obama Allows Gas Prices To Rise
Apr 18, 2011 Political
Barack Obama is in bed with Big Oil and he is allowing them to manipulate oil prices so that we have to pay more at the pump. The price of a gallon of gas is inching up to the $4.00 mark which it has eclipsed in several localities including Washington, DC. It looks like this is the result of having an oil man in the White House, a man beholden to the Big Oil companies.
I will pause while the Obama supporting liberal/progressives catch their breath and work on their defense of Big Oil Obama.
When George Bush was the President and gas prices went up (to $2.80 a gallon when Democrats began complaining), the liberals were fond of going in front of the cameras (often leaving their tax payer funded gas guzzlers running to stay cool inside) and bashing George Bush and Dick Cheney as Big Oil men who were allowing their buddies in the oil industry to manipulate prices so that the cost of gasoline would go up and make their buddies rich.
McCumber joined Speaker Pelosi Monday to dramatize the tough times businesses are having because of fuel costs. The speaker blames what she labels the Bush-Cheney big oil agenda, using graphics to point out gasoline prices have more than doubled in the Bush administration.
“This is a scam of the greatest magnitude,” says Speaker Pelosi. ABC 7
Now that Obama is in the White House this MUST be the reason for the rise in gas prices. There can be no other explanation because the liberals already told us that the rise in gas prices is the result of having a Big Oil man in the White House. It is they who made the claim so they cannot change the reasons now.
Barack Obama must be a Big Oil puppet who is allowing his friends in the oil industry to manipulate gas prices so they can get rich.
More liberal Bush gas price info here, here, here, and here.
I am willing to bet that these liberals will not be out bashing Obama the way they bashed Bush. They will have some excuse to present for the spike that has nothing to do with their messiah.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Obama’s Voter Base Ramps Up For 2012
Apr 13, 2011 Political
It looks like the Obama (and Democrat in general, for that matter) voter base is getting ready for the 2012 election. Ohio is a battleground state (oops, is battleground a word that incites violence) and Obama will have a hard time keeping his job if he can’t win there. So his base is ready for him:
Secretary of State Jon Husted says a report has found nearly 18,500 dead people on the state’s voter rolls. Records of registered voters were cross-checked with a list of deceased Ohioans maintained by the state Health Department. FOX Toledo
Even Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd are eligible to vote in Ohio! Notice they also want to check the jail system records. They are really clamping down on the Democrat’s base.
It looks like Ohio has a good voter ID program to eliminate the life challenged from voting.
Good! It is about time this Democrat voting block was discovered and removed.
Now we just need to do something about the undocumented Democrats who cross our border illegally…
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
