Tax Day Tea Party

In case you didn’t know, Tax Day Cometh Soon, being this Thursday, April 15th. Two important things happen this day, One: You must file your Federal and State Tax Return, if you haven’t already or filed for a delay, and Two: Many Tea Parties are Organizing this day to Protest Big Government, Presidential Policies, and Congress for not listening to us.

Thought you would get rid of us once Health Care Passed? Nope, we aren’t going anywhere and we have long memories. Think of calling us Racist and Radicals? Nope, we are just plain old Americans that are sick of the Government sticking it to us. We are made up of all colors, creeds, religions, races and oh yea, all political parties. You know, all the stuff that makes us Americans.

The Liars list.

 

The Complete List of Obama Statement Expiration Dates  provided by Jim Geraghty at NRO.

Here are some highlights:

STATEMENT: “These negotiations will be on C-SPAN, and so the public will be part of the conversation and will see the decisions that are being made.” January 20, 2008, and seven other times.

EXPIRATION DATE: Throughout the summer, fall, and winter of 2009 and 2010; when John McCain asked about it during the health care summit February 26, Obama dismissed the issue by declaring, “the campaign is over, John.”

STATEMENT: “No family making less than $250,000 will see any form of tax increase.” (multiple times on the campaign trail)

EXPIRATION DATE: Broken multiple times, including the raised taxes on tobacco, a new tax on indoor tanning salons, but most prominently on February 11, 2010: “President Barack Obama said he is “agnostic” about raising taxes on households making less than $250,000 as part of a broad effort to rein in the budget deficit.”

It is rather lenghty, but well worth a read.  Here is to “The One” who says one thing and does another.  Very typical of Washington and all that dwell there, but I think Obama and his people take it to another level.

What happens when you don’t read the bill before you sign it:

“Hours after President Barack Obama signed historic health care legislation, a potential problem emerged. Administration officials are now scrambling to fix a gap in highly touted benefits for children.”

Here are a couple of articles that explain the dilemma.  As the comments over at Hot Air suggest, this is just another sign of incompetence for the Obama Administration.

Remember when the focus in 2010 was going to be jobs?

Charles Schumer

“The president said the number one issue before us is jobs in 2010, and we couldn’t agree more, in fact the three top issues on our agenda are jobs, jobs and jobs”

The video below is under 2 minutes.  Take the time and watch it.  I can only assume by jobs the Democrats meant Health Care Reform.  The two terms are apparently synonymous.  I’m sure the focus will return to jobs after he is done with his “victory lap”, which is more likely to turn into an attempt to try and sell the already passed Health Care bill.  It is a little sad that there is a need to convince the public how great the bill is after it is passed.  There is a thought shared among the administration and Americans that support the bill that the public is misinformed about the bill.  I have heard it over and over.  Rest assured, those of us who are upset and that do not support the bill are not misinformed.  I have no doubt that the Presidents 51st , or 52nd  ”why we need to love this bill” speech in Iowa will do little to change the opposed minds.  It will however regurgitate the same talking points Obama has been using for the past year to feed the lemmings that so faithfully , blindly follow every word he utters.

Here is another 2 minute video with Obama telling  lying to us:

“The Public Will Have 5 Days To Look At Every Bill That Lands On My Desk”

Sure we will.  Anything else you want us to drink up???  The sweet drink is so easy for some to swallow.

It’s not often we get to Honor Democrats on this site but regardless of the reason, the following Dems voted No for Obama Care and at least this Health Care monstrosity should not be held against them this November, despite the fact, of course they being Democrats.

Census: Third times a charm

 

Step 1:  A super bowl ad for $2.5 million

Step 2:  A letter from the U.S. Census Bureau stating that in a few weeks I will be receiving the Census questionnaire to fill out.

Step 3:  The actual Census questionnaire is delivered.

Step 4:  A post card from the Census Bureau letting me know that I should have received a request to participate in the 2010 Census.  Here is the charm:  “if you have already provided your census information, please accept our sincere thanks.”

Now, I am as forgetful as the next person.  That being said, with the $2.5 million spent on the commercial, and the postage paid for three separate mailings by our government, is it financially responsible?  Of course it isn’t.  Everything to my knowledge was mailed first class postage.  That is 28 cents for the post card and 44 cents for the “just letting you know it’s coming”  letter.  I believe the census is sent  to 120 million homes/families.  That is over $8.5 million not including the Census form or all of the temporary hires.

Is this a Liberal thing?  No, it’s a government thing.  I have no doubt that the same circumstances would have followed if McCain would have been President. 

Chalk this up to example number 1,365 why the government has a really really really hard time spending money wisely.  Is it any wonder why so many are leery of all the money related promises of the Health Care bill:  Premiums will go down, it will lower the deficit, it will improve the economy?  I guess we will have to wait and see, we’ll know soon enough.  After all, this administration is truly remarkable.  The Obama administration is unlike any other, everything they say is the truth and they do not lie.  They are not spending more in their first year than any other president.  Obama has shown through example that he and his administration will be financially responsible.  We have no reason to doubt any of the claims being made.   O wait, never mind.

Aaron Tippin says:

 

 

“You’ve got to stand for something”

“You’ve got to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything.  You’ve got to be your own man not a puppet on a string.  Never compromise whats right.”  “What ever you do today, you’ll have to live with tonight.”

“I got it honest”

If you’ll check out my paycheck
Well, you’ll see that there ain’t that much on it
But ev’ry single penny I’m paid, I got it honest
I never had to hang my head in shame
For puttin’ a price tag on my name
Never turned my back on what I believe
Or let my heart be ruled by greed
‘Cause buddy if I didn’t earn it, I don’t want it
That way I can always say, I got it honest”

I’ll let the above words speak mostly for themselves.  I am not implying that sometimes people don’t need help.  But, the mentality that is creeping into people that the government is going to take care of all your problems is a dangerous thing to let take hold of you.  There is something to be said about working for what you have and teaching this to your kids.  There is a lot less of holding to your beliefs and values in Washington, especially if the deal is good.

Miss W. Yet?

It seems that a story is floating around the blogosphere about a Billboard that has been up for about a month around Chicago, Illinois. Take a look at the picture below hosted from this article:

Yahoo News.

It would seem that most people at first would think of answering no. I for one do not miss the outrageous spending that went on under Bush and the Republican Congress at the time. And the false information that directly led to the Iraqi war was a blunder we meddled through that we are still paying for. (Despite that most Iraqi’s are grateful for their freedom).

On the other hand, I look at our current President, Obama and my answer quickly turns to a Hell Yes! Why? While Bush was no fiscal conservative, he truly had our backs starting in 2001 through 2008. No major attacks happened on our soil again and most of us felt safe and protected. Bush is a deeply spiritual man and as president he led our nation, despite the constant attacks on his character, intellect and charisma. Everyone thinks W. is dumb, but they don’t exactly hand out Harvard MBA’s to dumb people, do they?

When I consider Obama’s blunders, they are monumental. Our economy is nearing collapse, spending in Washington is a run-away train; several more Trillion dollars more than Bush ever spent, Iran is close to getting a Nuclear Weapon, Obama never lent any support to Iran when Freedom Protests were going on, Obama has never fulfilled his promises on drilling for oil, Jobless Rates are soaring, Obama lecturing the Supreme Court and US Citizens like we are children, and of course taxes are going to go up to pay for this pig of the US Government wearing lipstick. Do I need to go on? Do I even have to mention nationalized healthcare?

Regardless of who put up the Billboard, Bush was not a socialist and he did not seek to penalize Banks and other Corporations for trying to make a profit and creating jobs. This whole recession started with the housing collapse that is directly linked to Barney Frank and his Democratic Cronies deregulating the housing market and banks safeguards that Republicans warned about in the early 2000′s. Does anyone mention that? Not in any media report I can find. The only thing I can find is Obama is trying to regulate banks more than what his democratic Friends took away in the first place. Crippling Banks, raising the Capital Gains tax is not doing anyone any favors. Obama is on a path for the Government to take away our freedom, not to protect it.

Bush had his faults and he was no Ronald Reagan. But compared to Obama’s socialist policies, W’s portrait needs to be put on Mount Rushmore. After all, despite everything, at least W. was a true American. Can you say the same for Obama? I’m not sure I can.

Pelosi: I’m leavin on a Jet Plane

We don’t know when she’ll be back again.  She’s been checked out a long time.  Nancy Pelosi’s cost to all of us for the last two years of using Military Jets to travel:

Just a measly $2,100,744.59.  $101,429.14 was for inflight expenses. 

“Speaker Pelosi has a history of wasting taxpayer funds with her boorish demands for military travel. And these documents suggest the Speaker’s congressional delegations are more about partying than anything else,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

I know that flying around on a Military Jet isn’t exclusive to Nancy Pelosi, but, the article is.  Maybe she should refrain from embarking on some of her “trips”( each domestic one at around  $28,210.51), and save the US tax payers some money.  Or, umm,  I mean then the money could be allocated some where else, we certainly wouldn’t save the tax payers any money and not spend it.  If she is so concerned about re-distributing our money to people who sit around and leach off the government (excluding people who truly need help of course) and all the entitlement programs, each trip she forgoes would allow another 28K that she could use to re-distribute.  Not that I agree with re-distribution, but I’m just saying.  Does she know how many Polar Bears she could save by taking one less flight?  

100K for inflight expenses?  I think a little less Bailey’s, and a pack of Old Milwaukee would shave this number down.  I know flying is expensive, but in two years?  These expenses are over the top and mind numbing.  Millions, billions, and even trillions get thrown around in politics a lot.  Maybe 2 million isn’t enough to anger americans, at least not with the amount that the current administration has already spent in its first year.
