X-RAY VANS KEEPING AN EYE ON YOU

Did you watch Glenn Beck last night? He had some incredible information. Here are the highlights.

In California and 8 other western states the government can now place GPS units on your vehicles to track your moves. A court has ruled that the public has "no reasonable expectation of privacy" even in your own driveway. NO SEARCH WARRANT IS REQUIRED.

Locations of cell phones can now be tracked WITHOUT SEARCH WARRANTS by the FBI, Police, Homeland Security, and just about any government agency. No one has to ask or tell you this is happening. A judge in Philadelphia has agreed with the Obama Department of Justice. The Obama DOJ argued that Americans have "no reasonable expectation of privacy" when it comes to where people place and receive cell phone calls.

An article in the NY Times explains that the government is now seeking a new federal law that would force Internet, email, instant messaging and other communications providers to embed encryption codes into their systems for the purpose of law enforcement surveillance. NO SEARCH WARRANT is necessary. This is especially ironic because the Left bitched royally about Warrantless Wiretaps that Bush wanted to use in the war on terrorism. Guess it's okay to Big Brother Americans but not terrorists.

And the Best One Yet? An "X-ray Van" has been built for use in defense of our country and until now has only been used in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now it would make sense to use these high tech vans at shipyards x-raying containers, at borders looking for drugs and firearms, and in the war on terrorism. But now Obama's government has purchased 500 of these vans to be used "domestically," possibly in your neighborhood. Forbes Magazine asked the White House about this. Congress has also asked the White House for an explanation. But there has been no answer or explanation forthcoming about which department is purchasing them and what they will be used for. Congress is being stonewalled by an arrogant White House and president who thinks they don't have to answer to anyone.

And yeah, by now you've figured it out. X-ray vans can see through walls, clothing, vehicles, metals, anything and everything. I can just see it now. Government vans crawling up and down our streets checking to make sure we are all good little Americans. Remember, NO WARRANT REQUIRED again.

So we now have warrantless Internet tapping, warrantless cell phone tapping, warrantless car tapping, and warrantless x-raying of our homes and vehicles. And there is absolute silence from the Media. Only proves they are Obama's lap dogs and are devoid of all journalistic integrity.

Pardon me if I'm ticked off about all this warrantless surveillance. I happen to believe that our Constitution prohibits Big Brother Government from spying on us. But again, the Obama administration is thumbing their nose at us and our Constitution.

Enough said, Folks. November can't get here soon enough for me.

And Watch Glenn Beck daily, Fox News, 5 p.m. EST. Guaranteed to make you THINK!

TESTIMONIAL RE. EXCELLENCE OF CURRENT HEALTH CARE SYSTEM

Rebecca Kleefisch is running for WI Lt. Governor, along with Scott Walker for Governor. This is her story. It is a testimonial on why the government should keep their crummy Obama hands off of our health care system. Very interesting and uplifting. Under Obamacare she may not have lived.

Dear Friends,

About two and a half weeks before I became Scott Walker’s running mate, my life changed. No doubt my life changed the night of the primary, too, but what happened before is something I want to share with you.

Statewide campaigns are a rigorous business. I had traveled Wisconsin time and time again getting to know you. I was eating on the run, drinking a lot of coffee, and keeping a demanding schedule. My excuse for exercise was 8 consecutive Independence Day parades!

That’s why, when I started having stomach cramps and feeling tired, I blamed it on my schedule. I went to my doctor a couple of times and he agreed that I probably needed a lifestyle adjustment after the election.

A few weeks before the primary, I told my doctor that I was sick. Not just campaign-sick. Really sick. He ordered some blood tests and called me with the results. He wanted to know how I was feeling. “Fine,” I told him.

The test results were not as fine. He said that I was bleeding somewhere, that I might have an ulcer and that I needed an endoscopy right away, and probably a blood transfusion. I hung up the phone and got back behind the camera to shoot my “Mom with a Minivan” ad. I didn’t want a blood transfusion. The next day, I had an endoscopy that revealed no ulcer, but instead of being excited, my doctor told me I needed a colonoscopy the next morning.

It was August 26th. Two and a half weeks before the primary I woke up from my colonoscopy to my doctor telling me, “Becky… you have colon cancer, but, 9 years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer, and I’m here to tell you about it.” He was like an angel, giving me the bad along with hope. He refused to guess what stage the cancer was.

Eight years earlier, my dad died of pancreatic cancer, and I was so thankful the doctor hadn’t said “pancreatic cancer.” Regardless of the stage, I knew I could beat colon cancer. I went straight to get a CT scan and transfusion.

That weekend I researched my disease and the treatments available. I found the best colorectal cancer surgeon around: Dr. Kirk Ludwig. He was internationally renowned and taught others how to remove colon cancer laparoscopically. He was at Froedert Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin…amazingly, just 30 minutes away.

I saw him Monday morning. My tumor was the size of a grapefruit, he said. When I asked whether he would still be able to take it out laparoscopically, he said it wouldn’t be a problem.
“And in ten years…?” I said. “In ten years, you’ll look back on this and say, ‘Oh, that wasn’t so fun.’ And that’s it.”

The next day when I went for genetic testing I started bleeding and was admitted Wednesday. Thursday morning, around the same time I got my diagnosis the previous week, the cancer was gone.

Dr. Ludwig sent my tumor to pathologists to determine the stage of the disease. After I had been home for a day, he called with the results: despite the fact that the tumor had broken through my colon wall and was creeping up my side, despite the fact that it looked like it had compromised lymph nodes, all the nodes tested negative. I had survived Stage 2 cancer. It was like a miracle.

Last week, the genetic test results finally came. “No mutation detected” they said. I will not pass this on to my daughters. Another miracle.

I’m telling you because perhaps you’ve been touched by cancer. If you have, you know that the stories of hope, of beating it, are the ones you hold on to. Just like my doctor awakened me with a story of hope, I hope you will share my story with someone who needs it.

My story also illustrates how dire my future might have been if we had socialized medicine. What if the government had told me I had to wait in a 6 month line to get a CT scan? Or that I couldn’t have Dr. Ludwig perform the surgery? That’s unacceptable to me and my family.

So please hug your family tonight and be thankful for your blessings. I have a renewed gratefulness for each day. And please join me in fighting for healthcare reform that keeps us in charge of our choices.

EDUCATION SLUSH FUND

Today Sen. Tom Coburn released a report he compiled called "School House Pork." In the report he stated that lawmakers have secured 5,563 earmarks worth $2.3 billion over the past decade for "education projects." The report states that the federal education programs have been compromised by political interests and are overrun with "education pork."

Allocated money often went to school districts with the best lobbyists. The BEST LOBBYISTS? Good Grief, has everyone in government, including education, completely lost their minds? How absurd for school districts to be using our tax dollars to lobby our government to receive more of our tax dollars.

WELL, I THINK THEY ARE ALL NUTS! Here are some examples of where the Education Slush Fund has spent money. Hang on to your seats, Folks, because this is just a drop in the Great Government Oinker Bucket.

Las Vegas - a school district received a $25,000 earmark for a mariachi music program. HUH?

Jackson State University - a $478,941 earmark to study the creation of a school of osteopathic medicine. But here's the fact. A local newspaper reported that the commissioner of higher education in Mississippi had "no intention" of opening an osteopathic school. REAL SMART

Central Washington University - a $191,593 earmark for "curriculum development" to develop a curriculum based on local wines. LEARN HOW TO DRINK IN COLLEGE!

More than $181 million in earmarks for programs and projects that would bear the name of the lawmaker who introduced the earmark.

This included $1.9 million for the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service. (He's the congressman who's been accused of multiple ethics violations and is currently under investigation).

Two earmarks worth more than $19 million for the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the Senate. (He's the senator who murdered Mary Jo Kopechne by allowing her to drown in his car when they went off a bridge on Martha's Vineyard after a night of drinking. So his wife wouldn't find out about his unfaithfulness and his political career wouldn't be destroyed, he left the scene of the accident instead of getting help and saving her life. And he didn't even report the accident until the next morning. Oh, yes, it was all covered up. And he remained in the Senate for his entire life.)

$2.4 million for the Lott Leadership Institute named after former Sen. Trent Lott.

$10 million for the Strom Thurmond Fitness and Wellness Center named after Sen. Strom Thurmond. (Strom Thurmond was a staunch racist and made a lifetime career out of the Senate. His "political career" is great testimony to the need for term limits.)

$2.7 million for 15 earmarks that went to zoos, including a total of $1 million for the Philadelphia Zoo. Hey, go to Philly to visit YOUR zoo. You own part of it!

National Baseball Hall of Fame got $450,000, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame got $200,000, the National Aviation Hall of Fame got $600,000. (All private enterprises.)

$273,000 for a program in Blue Springs, MO aimed at fighting Goth culture.

Over $5 million went to the Andre Agassi College Prep Academy.

Abuse of the Education Slush Fund ensnares and encompasses lawmakers from both parties. All the more reason to throw out the long term incumbents who've been part of this ongoing scam.

But in Washington the Dems want to raise taxes to support their spending.
I say the first thing they need to do is STOP the WASTE and QUIT SPENDING.
YOU'RE FIRED, ALL OF YOU!!!

OUR BANKER SAYS THE U.S IS "ONE STEP NEARER" TO CRISIS

In case you don't believe that America's debt levels are shocking to the world, OUR BANKER, that's CHINA'S CENTRAL BANK, has issued a sky-is-falling warning. They have stated that "China is worried about the safety of its foreign-exchange reserves including those investments in U. S. Treasuries." In other words, China believes the U. S. cannot make good on the almost one trillion dollars we owe them. I believe that's called "default."

What's alarming China? The Congressional Budget Office says the U. S. will record a $1.3 trillion budget deficit for the fiscal year ending September 30. This budget deficit will be equivalent to 9.1% of gross domestic product, making it the second-largest percentage of GDP in 65 years, exceeded only by the 9.9% in 2009. Both budget deficit breaking years have occurred under the Obama administration. And Obama isn't done spending yet!

Want another scary FACT? The CBO projects that the U. S. will have a cumulative deficit of 6.27 TRILLION DOLLARS in the next decade, thanks to the Monstrous Obama Spending Machine. Say goodbye to any hope of financial stability for future generations.

China is the biggest foreign investor in U. S. Government Bonds. If China decides to dump our debt or quit purchasing our bonds we are sunk, and the sound of us being sucked down the Default Drain will be heard worldwide. And it's closer than you think.

THE INTERNET "KILL SWITCH"

A bill has been introduced in the U.S. Senate to grant the federal government "absolute power" to shut down the Internet and gives the president the authority to seize control of the web in the name of "national security." THIS IS NO JOKE!

The Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act of 2010 (PCNAA) was introduced by the traitorous Joe Lieberman. It gives the government the power to force private companies to "information share" with the feds and also gives the government the authority to monitor the "security status" of private sector websites. That's You, Me and All Of Us!

Of course, there has to be yet another new government agency created to police all companies that rely on the Internet, the telephone system and all components of the "information infrastructure." The directors of this new agency will have officers in the Departments of Defense, Justice, Commerce and National Intelligence.

Big Government would be able to read our emails, monitor which web sites we visit, and censure us by declaring a National Security emergency. Do you trust the government not to abuse this? I don't.

The largest Internet-based companies are surprisingly happy with the bill, but this is because it contains language that will give them absolute immunity from civil lawsuits, and the bill will also reimburse the companies for any costs incurred if the Internet is shut down for a period of time. The U. S. Treasury will pick up the private company's tab. Ooops, that's us.

The government has been searching for any avenue possible to regulate free speech on the Internet and shut down alternative media outlets, and this bill makes it all possible.

It's Good bye to another of our freedoms under the Obama administration's "Big Brother" policies.
But only until November when we take back our power.
Be sure to vote. It's your duty.

OBAMA KNOWS IT'S NOW OR NEVER

Agenda, we all know what that means. And that is exactly what Obama and the liberal progressives in Washington/Congress had when they took control of our government. And here we are, two years into their "agenda," and they have pushed through the most damaging package of legislation in American history.

There's Obamacare which puts the feds in charge of 1/6 of our economy, driving prices up, driving competition out, and driving quality down. A bill that Nancy Pelosi said we'd have to read to know what was in it. A bill that adds 17,000 new IRS agents to administer the monstrosity. A bill that most in Washington didn't read before voting to pass it.

There's the one trillion dollar "stimulus" bill that miserably failed to reduce unemployment, but instead increased it. A bill that contained billions of dollars in wasteful spending and thousands of pork projects. A bill that almost everyone in Washington didn't read before voting for it.

There's the supposed financial "reform" bill regulating every aspect of our financial life and imposing massive fees (can you say "taxes") on everything we do financially. A bill that its sponsor, Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT), admits are "unknown" and stated that he didn't read it before voting for it. For Crying Out Loud, he sponsored it and he doesn't know what's in it?

And then there's creation of DEBT on a scale unknown in the history of the entire world.
No one can comprehend what the consequence of this massive debt will be on Americans and future generations. They have put us on a mad dash to economic ruin.

AND SO IT'S "NOW OR NEVER," AND THE HANDWRITING IS ON THE WALL.

They know how angry Americans are, and they realize their power will be gone in January when a new Congress will be seated.

But the Obama Fantasy Cruise has other things they'd like to bring on board before the ship sinks.

Cap and Trade, which is nothing more than a license to cheat and steal. This will include additional bans on any and all oil drilling in the U.S. It will cost families thousands of dollars a year in taxes and cost more than a million jobs.

Amnesty for illegal aliens disguised as "comprehensive immigration reform." This will keep taxpayers shelling out billions in social services costs, create millions of new "liberal" voters, and encourage millions more illegals to stream across our borders and wait for the next "amnesty."

Value Added Tax (VAT). This is a tax added to everything produced in this country at every stage of production. It is a huge tax for all Americans. It's another convoluted tax added to the already convoluted confiscatory tax system we currently have.

Card Check. Obama and the Liberals want this badly. It's a plan to take away secret ballots in elections where workers decide whether to unionize. Non-secret ballots create a climate of intimidation and coercion, forcing non-union workers to vote for unionization to avoid harassment.

And Obama and the Liberals know It's Now Or Never. They know they will lose their majorities with the November elections. But the newly elected representatives won't be seated until January.

BEWARE, November to January is considered the "Lame Duck Session." These sessions are typically for minor legislation that didn't get done in the regular session or for big legislation that has wide support from both parties and Americans.

But in this case it's a time for Obama and the Liberals to bring on board everything on their wish list because they know It's Now Or Never.

And there is nothing Americans can do to stop it except put pressure on current elected officials not to further destroy this country by pushing through a raft of far-reaching laws that will increase our debt, regulate, tax and more deeply annihilate our economy.

I ask you to contact your current representatives, both Senate and House, and tell them you want NO LARGE LEGISLATION SHOVED THROUGH IN THE LAME DUCK SESSION. My web site www.americasmrsright.com has links to the Senate and the House.

It's imperative that we stay involved and vocal leading up to November, and then January, and thereafter for eternity. Americans will never go to sleep again.

LOST YOUR HOUSE YET? GUESS WHO'S TO BLAME

So who in Washington is REALLY responsible for the economic chaos we are in? Who is responsible for the housing collapse and you losing your house? Which Big Shot Senators and Congressmen had a hand in creating the worst crash since The Great Depression? Well, don't pay any attention to the denials by Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Schumer and others in Washington.

Instead watch this video and make your own decision about who did what and when and who didn't do anything to stop it even after being forewarned a number of times about the impending collapse.

This video has been taken off of youtube, but it is still on the Canadian airwaves. Obviously the Canadian press is more interested in reporting the facts than the Corrupt Brotherhood of Lame Stream Media in America. Thank You Canada!

BE SURE TO WATCH TO THE END. VERY ENLIGHTENING!

MUSLIM PRAYER SESSION IMPOSED ON PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS

Wellesley, Mass. public middle school teachers and the administration have some explaining to do. During a "field trip" to the Islamic Society of Boston (ISB) mosque their students were indoctrinated in Islam and then asked to participate in the mid-day prayer.



Watch the video below in its entirety to learn about the ties this mosque has to terrorism and extremists. Pay close attention to the propaganda that these PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS were subjected to under the guise of "diversity."


Getting these young people to the mosque was a coordinated deception by the mosque and the public school system. There was an intentional falsehood stated by the female Islam leader regarding female equality, followed by an immediate separation of those with y chromosomes from those with x chromosomes. Oh, yea, gender equality is alive and well in mosques.

And then the ultimate deception of "demonstrating" how to pray, teaching the students the shahada (Muslim declaration of faith), knowing that middle schoolers are ill prepared to recognize this hocus pocus and comprehend they had been subjected to intellectual molestation. Want to know what happens when ANYONE makes a SINGLE RECITATION of the SHAHADA? Islam considers them to be Muslims.

Click here to check it out.

The adult chaperones should have put an immediate stop to this. There is no excuse for them. They should all be FIRED.
But instead they will probably be given a Koran, a burka and praise Allah while kneeling for the mid-day prayer as they invite OUR kids to join them.

WATCH IT HERE, ALL OF IT. ALARMING? INDOCTRINATION?
YOU BET!

"BY THEIR CREATOR," GONE! TELEPROMPTER ERROR?

During a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on 9/17, while reading from a teleprompter, Mr. Obama quoted from the Declaration of Independence. Here is what he said, "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain unalienable rights, life and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Seems he left out "by their Creator" after the word endowed.

Now I could give him the benefit of the doubt. After all, someone who thought there were 57 states while campaigning could simply have forgotten these very important words. Or it could have been just a simple slip of the tongue.

But since he was using a teleprompter (when doesn't he), I believe his elimination of these words was intentional. Modern liberalism doesn't like the historical fact that America's founders acknowledged God in so many ways. They've spent decades removing God from society. And now we have a president who perverts our Declaration of Independence. Are you angry yet?

Watch the video and be sure to vote in every upcoming election.
The life of America depends on it.



VELMA HART ASKS OBAMA THE TRILLION DOLLAR QUESTION

Obama supporter Velma Hart lets Obama know that his Summer of Recovery has not been good for her. Watch it here. Obama is speaking early in the video trying to justify his programs. Ms. Hart comes on later. Be sure to listen to Obama's response to her. And note the laugh and giggle from Obama. Does he think the state of the economy is a joke? Personally I think HE'S the JOKE.

LIFE IN THE ER, THE WAY IT REALLY IS

Just received a message from a friend of mine whose family has had more than one ER experience this summer. I am quoting the latest experience exactly as it was reported to me by a mother who took her child to the ER. For privacy reasons I have edited the child's name and the city where this happened. Let me just say, though, this was not a city in a border state or anywhere near a border state.
This is an ER in Middle America in the age of open borders.
EXACT WORDS AS I RECEIVED THEM
FROM A 100% RELIABLE SOURCE
"It was frustrating at the ER Sunday night with (our child). We had to wait almost 5 hours because the waiting room was filled with Mexican couples and their babies/toddlers. None of the kids were crying or even looked sick. Most were running around playing. Wasn't this an EMERGENCY room? I wondered if they were using the ER like a regular doctor's visit. Everyone was speaking Spanish, including some of the employees at (the hospital). All the magazines were in Spanish and so was the television show. I felt like I was in a different country. And I bet none of them had to pay $150 deductible to be treated, like I had to. Plus I'll have to pay 10% of all other charges. Wish I could get in on some of that "free" health care. We pay $1600/month plus our out-of-pockets are ridiculous. Oh well, I know I'm making a LOT of assumptions here. It was just bizarre."

This is likely going on in ERs all over America. And guess who's paying the bill?
Our gutless government just hasn't been telling us the truth about this. They'd rather leave the border porous and buy the Hispanic vote than to save our economy.
But Now We Know The Truth.

THE DREAM ACT? REJECTED TODAY!

Hey, Americans, you did it!! The Defense Appropriations bill didn't pass the Senate today. That is very good news, since it contained lots of amendments that had nothing to do with defense, such as abortion and especially immigration.

Remember The Dream Act? It's a backdoor amnesty Harry Reid tried to slip by us. He didn't succeed. But stay diligent, they will try again. If you want the scoop on The Dream Act click on the blog on the right hand side and read about it. For now, The Dream Act is Dead. Thanks to all Americans who contacted their representatives about this. There is power in numbers.

GOVERNMENT MOTORS PAYS CEO COOL $9 MILLION

Wow, Reuters has reported that our car company, Government Motors, will pay our new CEO Akerson over $9 million in cash, salary and stock grants. In addition to that, they will pay Ex-CEO Whitacre $300,000 for serving on the GM Board of Directors for 4 months. Great jobs, if you can get 'em.

I see our new Pay Czar is really diligent in shrinking the CEO salaries of companies still on the taxpayer dole. That's what Obama was blabbing about when he took over GM. They're sure doing a great job, don't you think?

Funny how the math works. Toyota is solvent, in spite of their gas peddle problem, has lots of money in cash reserves, and their CEO makes $900,000 a year. BMW ties its executive bonuses to blue collar performance.

And then there's Government Motors. The company makes terrible business decisions, becomes insolvent, gets bailed out with taxpayer capital, files bankruptcy, and has minimal cash reserves. They fire their long term American ad agency and hire a French agency, with our tax dollars. They continue to get bail out money, and then they build a new plant in another country, not in America. Gee, who should we thank for this?

And then they award a newcomer with almost $10 million in compensation, and you can bet a new fleet of corporate jets will be on the way once their IPO is sold.

Our Government Motors sure knows how to game the system, and I'll bet they are laughing all the way to their Swiss bank accounts.

Thanks, Obama, for nothing.

RECESSION IS OVER! CAN'T YOU TELL?

Did you see the "What Have They Been Smoking" headline today? "The Recession Is Over." That's what a panel of experts charged with determining these things announced. They say the "current recession ended in June 2009."

WOW, ARE YOU FEELING BETTER NOW?

Or are you one of the millions of Americans looking for a job, or worried about losing your job? Have you had your hours or wages cut? Do you have that squeeze in the pit of your stomach because things are so insecure?

Reported unemployment stubbornly remains at 9.6%, but the real jobless rate is 17.5% as reported by CNBC. If you are not part of this statistic today, you could be tomorrow.

Maybe you are one of the 2.6 millions Americans who have lost their home to foreclosure, or maybe your home is worth 30-50% less than you paid for it, or maybe you are behind in your mortgage payments like one in four Americans are? Or maybe you live in a neighborhood blighted by abandoned homes and therefore you can't sell yours?

Or maybe you have been forced to default on consumer debt and have filed for bankruptcy. A record number of bankruptcies are being filed every month.

Or you might be struggling to feed your kids, keep a roof over their heads, keep them healthy and educated, all while your purchasing power is in the tank and sinking fast.

These statistics are appalling, and economists are projecting that unemployment will not come down significantly anytime soon, and there will be record foreclosures for at least another 2 years.

We have the highest POVERTY RATE (43.6 million Americans living on wages below $22,000 a year) since the only other recession that lasted as long as this one has. That one was called THE GREAT DEPRESSION.

So while the hallucinating panel members can bend their statistics to make it appear "the recession is over," out here in the real world it sure doesn't feel like it.

This recession won't be over until our government gets its financial house in order, and that won't happen until the current crop of Washington Elites is FIRED. Until then we have to hang together and help each other as much as we can. As Americans we are all in this together.

THE "SKINNY" ON THE 1% TRANSACTION TAX

Today I received an email regarding an alleged proposal by Obama/Pelosi to charge a 1% Transaction Tax on all financial transactions, every bank deposit/withdrawal, transfers within accounts, credit card transactions, ATMs, direct deposits, Banks, Credit Unions, Mutual Funds, Brokers, real estate, etc. Any financial transaction, the tax would apply.

I thought, well, this is something everyone should know about, but as I always do, I checked the facts before publishing the information in this blog. So these are the facts on this subject.

In February Rep. Fattah (Liberal Dem from Pa) introduced his "Debt Free America Act." Contained within this act is a proposal for the 1% transaction tax cited above. The act is pretty radical and has not gained any traction in Washington within either party. So far Fattah has found no one who would sign onto the bill with him.

So it appears that as of now the 1% transaction tax is not going forward full steam ahead. Snopes says the rumor about the tax isn't true, but Snopes can be notoriously wrong on political issues. Their political slant is usually Left/Liberal. Therefore they debunk things that are actually true. I tend not to trust Snopes.

But in this case Fact Check.org has also said a 1% transaction tax has not been passed and is not endorsed by the administration at this time. And they are correct. It has not been passed - yet.

But Beware, Friends. Listen to what Pelosi said about this tax at a news conference just last Thursday:

“I believe that the transaction tax still has a great deal of merit.” The tax would be a "great source of revenue that has a really minimal impact on the transaction but a tremendous impact on helping us meet our needs.”

Only a Democrat would believe that a tax would have a "really minimal impact" on us. She is just a blithering fool.

And you all know what this means. The 1% Transaction Tax is Not A Going-Nowhere Issue with Pelosi and the Democrats. Though it has not been passed into law, Pelosi likes the idea. That spells t-r-o-u-b-l-e for us.

It’s a hint here, a suggestion there, a gentle nudge, and then a stronger nudge, and pretty soon a 1% Transaction Tax becomes law before the American public knows what hit 'em. In spite of what Snopes and Factcheck say, I will be watching this issue. So should you.

In the meantime we can Throw The Bums Out.
Fire Them in November!

SEN. LISA MURKOWSKI, SORE LOSER

Alaska Sen. Murkowski, handily defeated in the Republican primary by Joe Miller, is refusing to go away. She has attacked Conservatives and Tea Party Express participants as "racist," "extremist," has called us "outsiders," and said we "hijacked the Republican Party." But I say if "hijacking" means saving the party from corrupt, failed, establishment liberals like her and Mike Castle in Delaware, then good for us!

This sitting U.S. Senator can call us anything she wants. I call us "We The People." We are loud, we are passionate, we are not going away, and we are not going to sit down and shut up.

And now she has announced that even though she lost in the primary, she is running as an Independent Party write in candidate for the Senate. Gee, Lisa, nice way to try to destroy the Republican Party that you've claimed to represent. You are a RINO and you just proved it.

When liberal candidates lose their primaries many leave the party and join the opposition or run as Independents. When conservatives lose their primaries they usually accept defeat and support the winner. Marlin Stutzman (IN) endorsed Dan Coats. Chuck DeVore (CA) endorsed Carly Fiorina, and Ovide Lamontagne (NH) endorsed Kelly Ayotte.

But when Arlen Spector (PA) was defeated he left the party. When Charlie Crist (FL) faced defeat he got in a snit, left the party and is running as an Independent. And now after being defeated Murkowski is having a temper tantrum and is running as an Independent. After her primary loss she stated she would not run as an Independent but would "return home." So much for her "WORD" meaning anything!

Murkowski's betrayal proves the voters of Alaska did the right thing by "Firing Her" the first time. And now they're going to have to do it again because apparently she didn't get the "YOU'RE FIRED" message.

I am confident that they will send Joe Miller to Washington because the alternative, sending Murkowski or some other liberal loon, is asking for more of the same big-government-spending-spit-on-our-Constitution government that we currently are stuck with.
ALASKA, WE ARE COUNTING ON YOU!

FREE SPEECH GONE IN ALASKA? YOU DECIDE!

The first day of the August 2010 Alaska State Fair in Palmer, Alaska brought out Sidney Hill, a disabled veteran, who was peacefully displaying a large "Impeach Obama" sign. Minutes later a crowd assembles, security forces arrive, an Alaska State Trooper arrives, and Mr. Hill is physically assaulted, taken to the ground, handcuffed, detained, arrested and hauled off to jail.

Mr. Hill was charged with Assault, Disorderly Conduct, and Criminal Trespass.

Watch this video and form your own opinion about whether or not Mr. Hill was doing anything that should have resulted in his arrest.

Or was it the "Impeach Obama" sign that was his downfall?

People in attendance at the fair stated that Mr. Hill "was just walking around" and he "was peaceful until security personnel came after him."

Here's The Video - You Decide. Note the heavy set security officer who continues to sit on Mr. Hill after he has been handcuffed and subdued.

Warning, some of the language is a little rough.

GRAND THEFT AUTO = GM

General Motors pension plan is coming under scrutiny from both Dems and Reps. Isn't that great? Obama is finally getting what he is always blabbing about, Bipartisanship.

An independent investigator will look into the federal government's different treatment of unionized and salaried Delphi retirees' pension benefits. Delphi was a GM supplier, and GM took over Delphi assets and liabilities during the bankruptcy process. GM agreed to "top up" the pensions of Delphi blue-collar retirees (can you say UNIONS, UAW, electrical and communications workers' unions) so they wouldn't lose 30-70% of their benefits. GM did not agree to "top up" the pensions for 22,000 white collar Delphi retirees. Therein lies the problem.

Faster than you can say "Grand Theft Auto," those white collar workers lost 30-70% of their pension, 100% of their health care coverage and 100% of their life insurance.

At the same time GM was slicing and dicing benefits for white collar workers, GM retained 100% of its union pension obligations. To keep the union pensions and benefits in tact GM contributed then and will continue to contribute monthly "top-ups" that are funded by TARP money.

Did you get that? WE ARE GUARANTEEING THAT UNION WORKERS INVOLVED WITH GM WILL GET 100% OF THEIR PENSIONS, HEALTH CARE AND LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS, WHILE WHITE COLLAR WORKERS GET NOTHING, AT THE SAME TIME THE U.S. IS SLIPPING QUICKLY INTO A FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC PIT-OF-NO-RETURN.

The big question now is whether Obama Administration officials and Obama himself "pressured the New GM to top-up" the Delphi retiree union pension plans and whether "political considerations played a role in favoring hourly over salaried retirees."

And that is why an investigation has been started by the Treasury Department.

What do you think the answer to that important question will be? Remember, it's Obama's Treasury Department doing the investigating. Anyone have any faith that they will get it right?

THE DREAM ACT OR A NIGHTMARE?

You've all heard about The Dream Act and Harry Reid's mission to get it passed before the November elections. The bill has been introduced for quit awhile now, and the Dems can't get the support to pass it.

But Good Old Harry has a plan. He intends to slip it past us by attaching it to a defense bill. That's what he said he's going to do. Oh, Harry, you just haven't changed your stripes at all - still scamming and scheming and screwing the public. You know you are in deep trouble in Nevada so you and the Dems will do anything to buy the Hispanic vote. And that's what you are doing with The Dream Act.

So here's the skinny on The Dream Act. These are the facts from a Dream Act web site.

PURPOSE: Designed to give citizenship to undocumented children of illegals.

WHO QUALIFIES:

1. Must have entered the US before the age of 16 (15 & younger)
2. Must have been present in the US for 5 consecutive years prior to enactment of the bill
3. Must have graduated from a US high school or obtained a GED or have been accepted into an institution of higher education
4. Must be between the age of 12 and 35 at the time of application
5. Must have good moral character

HOW TO ENROLL:

1. Once the Dream Act passes (by hook or by crook if Reid and the Dems have their way), undocumented children just need to apply. Guidelines will be established later. (Where have we heard that before?)
2. Once approved and granted a Conditional Permanent Residency, the individual would have to do one of the following:
a. enroll in an institution of higher learning (or)
b. enlist in the US Military
3. Once 5 1/2 years have passed the individual will then be able to apply for Legal Permanent Residency (dropping the "conditional" part) and consequently be able to apply for full US citizenship.

So there you have it. You can decide how you feel about it, but I will share my thoughts.

The Dream Act says kids must have been here for 5 years before enactment, but I don't trust anyone in Washington. They will stuff some nonsense in the bill to make sure it DOES apply to new border crossers. Thus we could end up with a whole new influx of parents trying to get their kids in so they qualify for citizenship, similar to "birthing" their children here for instant citizenship.

The Act says applicants must be between the ages of 12 and 35 at the time of application. DOESN'T SOUND LIKE "CHILDREN" TO ME!

And who is going to be the judge of "good moral character?" Washington? Well, that's a big fat joke. Too many people in Washington don't know what "good moral character" is. (i.e., viewing porn at work, tax dodgers, liars, thieves, cheats, lack of ethics, etc., etc.) Lord help us if Washington defines "good moral character."

The Act assumes that qualifying kids are "patriotic" and will be glad to go to college (at our expense) or join the Military. But what makes Reid think these kids are patriotic? I seem to remember teens at various schools around the country flying Ole' Glory upside down and under the Mexican flag. And which high school was it again where Hispanic students complained about their peers wearing the US Flag on their T-shirts on Cinco De Mayo? Oh, that's a no-no. Can't wear a US flag in the US for fear of offending someone who doesn't even belong here. And do you remember the assortment of pictures of teens at various marches protesting and waving signs and flags of Mexico? Must be the NEW patriotism.

The Act would provide a college education for these kids, and we would pay the bill, while all along we have been improperly contributing to the education of these kids already, and in the process, bankrupting many of our school districts. But they are still Mexican citizens. Why would we provide a college education to a Mexican citizen when we have Americans who would love to attend college for free?

I see this as yet another "reward" to their parents for doing something illegal. Does it ever stop?
Tying legislation that rewards criminals (or their children) to a defense appropriations bill is the ultimate in Democrat dirty tricks, and it is an insult to every fighting man and women in the US Armed Forces. All the more reason why we need a bill passed stating that legislation brought before either legislative body shall stand alone or not be considered at all. Period!

And they are doing it this under-handed, back door, dirty trick way because the American people have said loud and clear, NO AMNESTY AND CLOSE THE BORDER.

I believe we are not talking "Dreams", rather we are talking "Nightmares, which is being forced on us by two-faced, hypocritical, weak-kneed, spineless, gutless, vote buying Washington elites who support the traitorous subversion of our Constitution and Laws and jeopardize our national security every day they fail to close our borders and enforce our immigration laws.



NEVADANS, VOTE FOR SHARRON ANGLE.
GET RID OF HARRY REID.
HE'S ABOUT TO STAB YOU AND ALL OF US IN THE BACK ONCE AGAIN.

THEY DON'T GET IT!

All day today the radio/TV has had pundits proclaiming the demise of the Republican party. Even the Ever Present Gibbs (Obama press secretary) proclaims that the Republicans are destroying themselves with a big split within the party.

Well, I disagree. It's time the Republican party got a good scolding. They have been too non-conservative for too long, many of the Bush years included, and now "the chickens have come home to roost."

So let the mud begin. I mean the mud slinging that O'Donnell is going to have to endure for the next couple of months. You know that the Dems will try to destroy her, but now the Reps too? My, how far we have fallen.

Anything in her past will now become fair game. But at least her past is public, any failures, conflicts, college records, financial records, everything, all out there for public scrutiny.

Unlike Obama's records, ALL OF THEM, which are hermetically sealed in a fruit jar in a secret safe room somewhere, never again to be open to the public. It's a secret, don't you know? After all, he's only the president, the most powerful man in the world. But golly gee, he shouldn't be required to release anything about his past for us, his subjects, to peruse.

So let me give you my position on O'Donnell. Even if she "kicked the husband and the kids and the dog on the way out the door," she'd STILL be less evil than the old RINO's in Washington.

Even if she used campaign funds for something personal, which is just an accusation, it's still far better than the permanently-in-place politicians who continue to pass bogus stimulus (can you say spending) bills by the hundreds, along with health care packages, and union bail outs, just so they can funnel OUR TAX DOLLARS to their equally bogus special interests.

Talk about ethics and the use of money? No one defies ethics better than the RINOs and DEMS in Washington.

RINOS, welcome to the NEW face of the Republican Party. The old men are being replaced with young men and women who are fighting to bring some fiscal responsibility and the Constitution back to Washington.

The old men don't know how to combat this revival of the party and they are running scared.
I say keep running and Good Riddance.

KARL ROVE HAS FOOT IN MOUTH DISEASE

Ye gads, I just saw Karl Rove bashing and trashing the GOP Senate primary winner from Delaware, Christine O'Donnell. Rove was absolutely apoplectic in his denouncement of her. He couldn't explain how a non-politician, who got into the primary race late, had a very small amount of money, could beat the great Mike Castle, who has been a RINO in Washington for 40 some years.

Well, golly gee, Karl, do you finally get it? This is a REVOLUTION. We are going to oust the political machine in Washington, Dems and Reps, who have been complicit in expanding government, growing our national debt pushing us towards bankruptcy, destroying our economy, but especially those who voted for the $787 billion stimulus bill that has failed to create any jobs.

So Karl, listen up! This isn't about a Republican majority in the House or Senate. A Republican majority won't do us any good if those Republicans continually vote with the Liberal Democrats. And that is exactly what Castle has done for decades.

Understand it, Karl. We Are Fed Up! And to the Republican Party, don't be such a sore loser. The people in Delaware have spoken loud and clear, as they have in many, many other states. It would be very wise for the "Party" to get behind her because she is going to be the next Senator from the Great State of Delaware.

And all of America is going to cheer her on to victory along with all of the other true Conservatives who will be joining her.

TAX TSUNAMI #4, SURPRISE, GET OUT YOUR CHECKBOOK!

TAX TSUNAMI #4, if you don't read my Tsunami 1-3 blogs, be sure you read this one. It's the worst yet because it will hit almost everyone.

Now, your employer paid health care will be reported as INCOME on your W-2's. I'll bet that all of you who supported Obama and were in favor of his takeover of health care will be astonished to hear about this little SURPRISE. Yes, buried in the "new and improved" Obamacare is this little known fact.

Starting in 2011 (next year, Folks, coming soon), your W-2 wage/tax form sent to you by your employer will be increased to include the value of whatever health insurance benefit you are given by your company. It does not matter if that's a private company or a government body. EVERYONE will get this little surprise.

If you're retired? If you're raising a family? If you're married or single?
So What!! Your gross will go up by the dollar amount of insurance you get from your employer.

All of us will be required to pay taxes on a very large sum of money that we have never seen.

If you want to know how this will affect you just take your tax return from 2009, add on $10,000 to $20,000 or whatever dollar amount your employer pays for you, and see what this additional gross does to your tax debt. That's what you will pay in taxes next year.

For many this will also put you into a new higher tax bracket so the situation is even worse that it appears.

Now we know how the government is going to buy insurance for the 15% of Americans who don't currently have it. They are doing it on the backs of every tax payer who has employer paid insurance.

This should make all of us scream and shout at anyone in Washington who voted for the travesty called Obamacare. Before you vote in November make sure you know how your representatives voted.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM BARACK AND THE CZARS.

TAX TSUNAMI #3, THE GREAT BUSINESS BASHER

TAX TSUNAMI #3 will destroy job creation for hundreds of thousands of business. The AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax) currently affects 4 million taxpayers who earn enough that they have to calculate their tax burdens twice and pay taxes at the higher level. This was established in 1969 to catch a handful of taxpayers. With the coming Tax Tsunami #3 this tax will increase the number of affected families to 28.5 million, and you could be one of them. This prediction comes from the Tax Policy Center, a left-leaning think tank.

Small businesses will no longer be able to expense business purchases in the year purchased. Right now businesses can expense (write off the entire cost) equipment rather than depreciate (slowly deduct) it over a period of years. This is a great tax break that allows businesses to use their dollars to hire people and expand their business. But not after January 1, 2011. What it means to a business is that their taxable income will go way up, thus causing them to pay more money to the government rather than retain those funds to HIRE PEOPLE AND CREATE JOBS.

There are hundreds of tax hikes on businesses that will take place on January 1.

There are also scores of changes in hundreds of other taxes and deductions, such as the following:

The deduction for tuition and fees will not be available.

Tax credits for education will be limited.

Teachers will no longer be able to deduct classroom expenses.

Coverdell Education Savings Accounts will be cut.

Employer-provided educational assistance is curtailed.

Student loan interest deduction will not be allowed for hundreds of thousands of families.

The Charitable Contribution from IRAs deduction will not be allowed. (Currently a retired person with an IRA can contribute up to $100,000 per year to a charity with no tax consequence).

This is just scratching the surface of the major tax increases rolling our way on January 1.

But Hold on to your Hats, Folks, there's more in the upcoming Tax Tsunami #4.

SENATOR BOEHNER A TRAITOR? YOU BET!

John Boehner last week announced a Two-Point Economic Plan which included a spending freeze and a two-year extension of the Bush tax cuts. Good idea, actually a GREAT idea, reduce spending and retain all of the Bush tax cuts. That's a great economic plan in a weak economy.

But what did Boehner say on Sunday? That he would support renewing tax cuts for the middle class but not the wealthy! Can you believe it? Changed his mind in less than a week. He is saying he will go along with the Obama proposal to extend the Bush tax cuts for everyone except the "wealthy." What in the world is wrong with Mr. Boehner?

The White House jumped all over these comments as a potential sign that the GOP might give up and back the Obama plan of no tax increases for the majority but large tax increases for the minority (that's the so-called "wealthy). With Boehner's stamp of approval the White House will now dig their heels in the mud and never agree to leave all of the Bush tax cuts in place.

John Boehner, we do not want increased taxes on the "wealthy." Whose definition of "wealthy" do you use? Who decides what is enough money to label a person "wealthy?" And this man is the House Republican Leader? JOHN BOEHNER NEEDS TO BE DE-ELECTED. How could he be so stupid??

The message from Americans is simple: NO TAX INCREASES, PERIOD, FOR ANYONE. We need less of Washington, not more, and we need more jobs, not less. Raising taxes on anyone will cause higher unemployment. This is a historical fact.

Remember, the Democrats are running scared from Obama's agenda, and the last thing the Republicans should do is cave in to the lunacy. They should be standing strong for lower taxes, smaller government, less spending, less regulation -- and TERM LIMITS.

THROW THEM OUT IN NOVEMBER, INCLUDING JOHN BOEHNER

VOTE TOMORROW, SEPTEMBER 14

If you live in a state that has a primary tomorrow, September 14, you must get out and vote.

It's pretty clear that Americans have become extremely disillusioned with Obama and the leftist 'business-as-usual' that pretends to be "change you can believe in."

This year's midterm elections give Conservatives a chance to slam on the brakes and bring the big-spending, big-government, we-don't-care-what-you-want-we're-doing-it-my-way policies of Obama and the Liberals to a tire screeching halt.

To win a majority in the House Conservatives must defeat at least 39 sitting Democrats. This can be done, but it can't be done without YOU, the VOTER! Conservatives also have a chance to take the Senate. This can happen in November, but the first step is tomorrow's primary.

There are some great Conservative challenger candidates running for Congress and the Senate this year, people who are deeply committed to bringing about real "change" by restoring Constitutional government to Washington.

FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE IN YOUR DISTRICT AND THEN GO AND VOTE.
IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT WILL SAVE AMERICA FROM
A TOTAL FINANCIAL ARMAGEDDON

MINNESOTA EMBRACING SHARIA LAW?

Came across this video and thought it would be of interest to lots of people. Read my blog on 9-11. Looks like Somalia is alive and well in Minnesota.

Minnesotans, where does it end? When will political correctness be more important than your rights? Wise up before it's too late.


TAX TSUNAMI #2 - LOOK OUT, HERE COMES OBAMACARE

TAX TSUNAMI #2 is as bad or worse than Tax Tsunami #1. Let's take a close look at OBAMACARE TAXES.

Obamacare contains over 20 new or higher taxes. Some will first go into effect on January 1, 2011, the rest will phase in by 2014.

The Special Needs Kids Tax. This provision of Obamacare imposes a cap on FSAs which are flexible spending accounts used by the taxpayer to contribute before tax dollars that can be used for out-of-pocket health care expenses. Currently there is no federal government cap on these accounts. Obamacare imposes a $2500 cap. Under Obamacare you will not be able to contribute more than $2500 to an FSA, no matter what your health care needs are.

One of the problems with this provision? There are thousands of families with special needs children and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education, which can easily exceed $10,000 per year.

Under the pre-Obamacare rules families could use FSA dollars to fund the special needs education of their children. Under Obamacare FSA dollars cannot be used to pay for this type of special needs education, NONE OF IT. This will have a huge tax impact on families who have special needs children.

The Medicine Cabinet Tax. Obamacare, oh, how great it will be for us, so Obama promised. But look closely at this provision. You will no longer be able to use a Health Savings Account (HSA), a flexible spending account (FSA) or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription over-the-counter medication, even medications that your doctor says you must take due to a chronic condition that can be treated with over-the-counter drugs. This provision will force your doctor to write a prescription for something you could get at the counter. Anybody think a "prescription" for an "over-the-counter" drug is going to save money?

The HSA (Health Savings Account) Withdrawal Tax Hike. Currently you can withdraw funds from your HSA for non-medical reasons and pay a 10% penalty. That's the same penalty you pay if you withdraw funds early from an IRA. But under Obamacare the HSA non-medical withdrawal penalty goes to 20%.

These examples are only a few of the over 20 new taxes coming our way under Obamacare.

What was that he said repeatedly during the campaign? Under $250,000 in income your taxes will not change? There will be no new taxes for the middle income taxpayer? Did he really say those things? You Bet!

But I contend these new Obamacare taxes will hit the middle income taxpayer harder than any other group, in spite of what King Obama proclaimed.

AND THERE IS MORE, SO MUCH MORE COMING AT US IN JANUARY.
WATCH FOR MORE INFORMATION HERE!

MR. OBAMA, NOVEMBER IS COMING!


I thought you would enjoy this video if you haven't already seen it. It expresses the sentiment of millions and millions of Americans.

November is coming.
Don't get discouraged.
We can stop the madness in November
but VOTING IS CRUCIAL.
AND DON'T FORGET TO VOTE IF YOUR STATE HAS A PRIMARY ELECTION
FIND A FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE
AND WORK HARD TO GET THAT CANDIDATE SENT TO WASHINGTON.
IT'S OUR ONLY HOPE!

"Unpaid Pay Czar" oops, Wrong!

So the news came out today. President Obama's pay czar, Kenneth Feinberg, received an annual salary of $120,830. Feinberg served as "special master for TARP executive compensation" to establish executive comp levels at companies bailed out or bought up by the government.

When Feinberg was appointed by Obama in August 2009 the big hoopla was that this Washington lawyer would "perform his duties pro bono," or without pay, so said the White House and Reuters.

But Judicial Watch in a Freedom of Information Act request has obtained the "welcome letter" to Feinberg congratulating him for being selected and listing his annual salary at $120,830. His salary was also confirmed by the US Office of Personnel Management. Feinberg is a big-time Washington lawyer.

So who was lying? Or was it just an "over site?" Or was it an intentional distortion of the fact? With this administration it's any body's guess.

This sure proves the point the the Obama Czars should have gone through the usual Senate confirmation process rather than just being installed into power by King Obama. But then, Congress has very little power in the Kingdom.

So much for Obama's famous "transparency in government" policy.

TAX TSUNAMI # 1 - DEATH TAX TO DIE FOR

On January 1, 2011, the largest tax hikes in the history of America will take effect and drive us deep into a depression. You think unemployment of 9.6% is high? Just wait 6 months. It will be higher, much higher.

These taxes will affect EVERYONE, families, farmers, seniors, small businesses, and big businesses, so don't let the political cronies in Washington try to tell you that they will affect "only the rich." That is an outright LIE, and they know it.

FIRST TAX TSUNAMI: Expiration of the 2001/2003 Tax Relief Act (referred to as the Bush Tax Cuts). In those years the GOP controlled Congress enacted many tax cuts for investors, small businesses and families. They will all expire on January 1. This is what it means to you, middle income average Americans already struggling to support your families, and to you, seniors living on a fixed income.

PERSONAL INCOME TAX RATES WILL RISE. It's the truth. Don't listen to the denials coming out of the mouths of the propagandists in Washington. The top rate increases from 35% to 39.6%. The lowest rate increases from 10% to 15%. All rates in between will also increase as indicated in this chart.

10% rises to 15%
25% rises to 28%
28% rises to 31%
33% rises to 36%
35% rises to 39.6%

No matter where you currently fall in this rate structure, your taxes are going UP, families, seniors, small and large businesses, everyone.

Itemized deductions and personal exemptions will phase out, which has the same effect as higher tax rates. You lower exemptions and deductions? You pay more taxes, simple enough math even for the Washington idiots who are going to allow this to happen. Oh, I almost forgot, many of the people currently running the Washington machine are "tax cheats." They don't care that we will pay more so they can cheat and pay less.

The "Marriage Penalty" will return from the first dollar of income, meaning married couples will pay higher tax on the same income as a single person does. Sure seems fair, doesn't it?

The Standard Deduction will no longer be doubled for married couples relative to the single person deduction.

The Child Tax Credit of $1000 will return to the pre-2001/2003 rate of $500. Pay attention, anyone who has children. The reduction in this credit will cost you dearly, $500 less for each child you have. Sure hope you didn't have your 2010 payroll withholding figured based on getting $1000 credit for each child. If so, you may be in for a big surprise when you prepare your 2010 return. It could mean the difference between you getting a refund at the end of the year, or owing Uncle Sam money at the end of the year.

The Dependent Care and Adoption Tax Credits will be cut drastically.

And another Big One, the return of the Death Tax.

Under the 2001/2003 Tax Relief Act the Death Tax was phased out. But it's coming back Big Time. Starting 1/1 the rate goes to 55% on estates over $1 million. If you have two homes, a retirement account, a business, business real estate, a farm, investment properties, rentals, stocks, bonds, savings, any combination of these could easily put you over $1 million. After 1/1/2011 your heirs may have to sell your assets, the farm, the business, etc., just to pay the Death Tax. Even if the farm or business is their livelihood, too bad, Uncle Sam is going to want up to 55% of its value over $1 million upon your death.

Here is an easy calculation. Let's say your estate is worth $1.5 million. The half million over the $1 million is subject to 55% tax. You will owe $275,000 in cash to the government, 55% of the value of the assets over $1 million. That will be your estate tax. Can you just "write a check" to cover this. Not likely. Assets would have to be sold quickly at fire sale prices just to cover the tax. This is why the Death Tax Phase Out was included in the 2001/2003 Tax Relief Act in the first place. It is patently unfair to tax someone literally To Death after they have paid taxes on all they have while they were alive. So if you are going to DIE, do it NOW before January 1.

And the last part of the FIRST TAX TSUNAMI?

Capital Gains Tax will rise from 15% to 20%. (Don't dare sell anything that creates a Capital Gain or it will cost you)

Dividend Tax will rise from 15% to 39.6% in 2011 and rise again to 43.4 in 2013. (Don't receive any dividends from stocks, bonds, etc. or it will cost you over double) This is especially onerous to seniors who are living on the dividends from investments. This will affect millions of Baby Boomers about to retire.

And let me add that this is just the FIRST TAX TSUNAMI coming at us on 1/1/2011. I will bring you more information in later blogs on the subject of additional taxes we are facing in 2011.

This government is the robber, the rapist and the killer of our entire economic system. That is, unless we stop them in November.

SHUT UP OR YOU ARE OUT OF BUSINESS

It's pretty evident that the Obama administration is getting very testy over criticism of Obamacare. They are tiring of the griping about the new law by the companies that the law will eventually put out of business. Yesterday HHS Sec Kathleen Sebelius offered to expedite the out-of-business process for those companies who don't shut their mouths.

Sebelius warned the insurance industry that the administration won't tolerate blaming premium hikes on Obamacare. She wrote a letter to the insurance lobby stating, "There will be zero tolerance for this type of misinformation and unjustified rate increases."

She further wrote, "Simply stated we will not stand idly by as insurers blame their premium hikes on the requirement that they provide consumers with basic protections." Whom does she think is supposed to pay for the mandated "basic protections?" Santa Clause?? The Tooth Fairy?? The Easter Bunny?? Oh, I forgot, the ubber rich in America.

She warned that "bad actors" may be excluded from new health insurance markets that will open in 2014 under the law. They'd lose out on a big pool of customers, something like 30 million people nationwide. In other words, SHUT UP OR LOSE YOUR BUSINESS!

What law gives her the right to threaten businesses with black listing them if they don't shut up? Or maybe she is acting at the behest of Mr. Obama, the thin skinned phony in the White House.

Rarely has a Cabinet official told American companies to stay out of political debates at the risk of losing their businesses. Obama and his administration have put themselves in a position where politicians can actually destroy a business out of spite. So businesses beware, don't get on the "bad side" of the Obama shipwreck.

I guess Hope and Change means keeping your mouth shut, pretend everything Obama does is okey dokey, and put on a Happy Face as businesses and jobs rapidly disappear.

VOTE IN NOVEMBER, AND PRAY FOR REPEAL!

9-11. IT WAS MURDER PLAIN AND SIMPLE!

Tomorrow marks nine years since over 3,000 Americans were "murdered" at Ground Zero. They were innocent people who were murdered in cold blood by lunatics hiding behind the label Islamic Jihadist and justifying their reprehensible actions because they believe anyone not of their "faith" is considered an infidel and should be destroyed. And their "faith," by the way, is Islam.

We all know and will never forget where we were nine years ago. We also remember the horror we felt as we saw the Twin Towers come down, people jumping from windows to their absolute death, the fire fighters, policemen, Americans helping Americans to safety, the gray clouds of toxic dust come rolling down the streets of New York engulfing everything and everyone in its path, the plane crash in the field, Todd Beamer's command to "Let's Roll. The images are seared forever into our minds.

Americans wept, Americans hurt, Americans were brought to their knees. And then Americans came together, got angry, picked themselves up, and went on the offensive. Americans named the enemy, and that enemy was and forever remains Islam, a religion that calls for the destruction of non-believers. Educate yourself on the Koran. It is eye-opening.

Today we are still fighting these murderers. It is ugly, it is hard, and it is taking a long time. We are winning this war, but war is not a board game with rules. It would enable our troops to end this war if the leftist apologists and Obama would allow our troops to do what they are trained to do so well and stop hampering their success with ridiculous rules of engagement that have prevented them from winning this war by any and all means possible.

We have allowed the political agenda of the liberals to circumvent the entire process of a military force, changing their mission from "defense" of our nation into "nation building" and painting targets on their collective backs by not allowing them to conduct the war to win it. Sacrificing American military lives for politics is reprehensible.

Today we are still under attack not only by unknown Jihadists, but also by powerful elected officials who say we have to accept Islam as a fact of life, and we should allow them to build their victory memorial on the ground where they murdered our neighbors. We are told that if we don't allow them to do this they will stay mad at us. We are told that there will be "grave" consequences if this isn't resolved satisfactorily, meaning if they can't build it, we are dead. Sure sounds like a peaceful religion, doesn't it?

Denying people an appropriate place to worship goes against the Constitution we all love, but somewhere between the law and lunacy comes common sense. And common sense dictates if you continue to allow people to threaten you, murder you, and then use your own laws to reach their ultimate goal of destroying you, your laws, your country, your future, and your beliefs, then it becomes a case of sheer stupidity.

When we go along to get along, and of course, be politically correct, and we back off because a "religion" says if we move their victory mosque one brick down the street from where they want it they will be "forced" to kill us, then we become complicit in the further destruction of America.

Remember, this victory mosque wants to be built by a religion that blows up women, children and innocents, flies planes into buildings, bombs train stations and night clubs, sets off car bombs, stones women who committed the act of wearing comfortable shoes, believes in female genital mutilation, beheads people of their own religion and others for whatever justification they can find, believes in "Honor Killings," the right to kill a wife/girlfriend/daughter if they don't do exactly as the man dictates.

This is a religion that burns Bibles and the American Flag with impunity but then kills innocent people because cartoons/pictures/articles about Islam that they don't like are printed in various publications. This is a religion that threatens us if even one American tries to burn the Koran or because 70% of Americans say "NO" to their victory mosque being built where they murdered us. Is this really "tolerance," "sanity" and "reason?"

Mr. Obama and others say they have an absolute Constitutional right to build the victory mosque anywhere they want, but the same Mr. Obama says it is wrong to burn the Koran. So which is it, Mr. Obama? If you believe the Constitution gives them the right to build it at Ground Zero, then the same Constitution gives someone the right to burn the Koran. I believe it's called the First Amendment. I personally think that neither should happen, but if one is Constitutionally protected, then so is the other.

The only thing that can stop the certain progression of an Islamic takeover of America (look at what is happening in Europe right now) is We The People standing up, standing tall, standing united and saying as loud as we can, "No, We will never surrender to tyranny or to terror, and will will not let you have our country."

To save America each and every one of us who cares about our safety, our freedom and our security has to speak out loudly, clearly and consistently. We have to de-elect anyone who does not take seriously this fight for our Constitutional rights of liberty, security and the future of this Great Nation.

Another 9-11 is simply not acceptable.

GOV. CHRISTIE CLASHES WITH TEACHER IN NJ

Folks, I just saw this on Glenn Beck's web site at theblaze.com. Gov. Christies from NJ goes head to head with a complaining teacher. Watch this. It is outstanding. He says what we need the new Congress going to Washington in January to say, loud and clear. Click on this link and then look for the story. You can easily find it.

And don't go getting all bent out of shape because you think I am picking on unions. It is ALL spending that needs to be curtailed, in ALL branches of government. But this is a good start. Watch It! You can either go to The Blaze site or click on the video within this blog. It's long, 7-8 minutes, but Christie tells it like it is.

OBAMACARE TAB UP, NOT DOWN

So the news today is that health care costs will RISE under Obamacare, not go down as Obama continually told us. This information comes from our own GOVERNMENT, who has been studying Obamacare since its passage. This information shows that Obamacare didn't solve the cost problem in spite of Obama's promises.

The analysis found that health care spending will grow to nearly 20% of our economy. That is a HUGE amount of money and will surely affect the country's ability to spend money on other things, like education, research, transportation, or other programs.

Medical spending now accounts for about 17% of the economy, and most experts will tell that that even at 17%, it's too high. After all, wasn't that the purpose of Obamacare? To bring down the percent of money spent on health care?

But here is more sobering news.

By 2014 Medicaid will be opened up to millions more low-income people. Many doctors/clinics are already not accepting Medicaid patients because they lose money on every patient (due to federal mandated limits on coverage), and they can't afford to treat them, so that's one problem. The other is that for those who do get coverage, up goes our debt.

That same year insurers will have to accept all applicants, regardless of health problems. Who does Obama think is going to pay for that? Oh, the health coverage companies you say? The increased cost will just be passed on to the consumer, so up go our premiums.

Most Americans will be required to carry coverage or face a fine from the IRS. Yes, that's right, the Boogie Man IRS with their heavy handed tactics will be in control of assessing and collecting these fines. 17,000 more IRS agents are being hired. How much do you think 17,000 new federal employees will cost us? These costs were NOT included in the final cost estimates for Obamacare. Another scam on the American public. And up goes our debt again.

The report also shows that government is already becoming the dominant player in health care without fully enacting Obamacare. The biggest growth will come in Medicare and Medicaid (up 34% by 2014). Who is going to pay for this increase? Guess what, we are, and up goes our debt.

Do Obama backers get it yet? He lied again and again just to shove through his idea of what our health care should look like.

It's no wonder Obama wants to raise all taxes through not extending the Bush tax cuts. He has to pay for this travesty some way.

In the meantime, do you understand what Bankruptcy looks like? Get ready. We are already there.

DemoBrats and the Blame Game

Did you notice in his speech yesterday that Obama continues to blame the Republicans for the mess we are in and accuses them of working for Special Interests?

Well, the big question is, who gave the banks all that cash and propped them up? Answer, Bush and Obama. But then, Who bailed out the car companies, housing, Freddie and Fannie, the unions and hundreds of other industries and who has driven our debt to bankruptcy levels? Answer, Obama. And who is going to increase EVERY ONE'S taxes on January 1, 2011? Answer, Obama. The January 1 tax hikes are going to be massive and will hurt every segment of our society. And Obama doesn't care. He has an agenda and the outcome be damned, full speed ahead.

And don't forget the DOUBLE TAX ON ENERGY PRODUCERS that Obama is proposing. You know, we have to "punish" the "rich" energy producing companies. Do you think Obama is smart enough to figure out that all those increased taxes to energy companies will be passed directly on to We The People by increased rates? Surely he knows this because he can't be that ignorant. When you buy gas for your car, heating fuel, electricity, or any of the millions of things that are "petroleum products," you will feel the pinch. Thank you, Mr. Obama. And it's not as if Americans have extra money to spend on increased rates. Millions of Americans don't even have JOBS, much less EXTRA CASH. Thanks again, Mr. Obama and your pals in Congress.

He's been the captain of the ship for 19 months now and he still doesn't understand that our mess is his fault. How can anyone not notice that he is a pathological liar? How can he say his new $50 billion bill will give small businesses incentives to hire, when at the same time, the bill is full of job killing regulations? His $800 billion stimulus bill didn't work, so why would a new stimulus bill work? Is he really that dumb? All I see is more companies leaving, taking millions more jobs with them.

He and the DemoBrats need to be stopped in November. If Conservatives gain the majority in both houses, then Obama will be shut down until 2012 and hopefully they can start to undo some of the damage he's done.

So I say to him, "Mr. Obama, Americans are disgusted with the "blame game" and with all of you. Based on your first 19 months we are terror-stricken thinking of how much additional damage you can do in the next two years. If you knew anything about being President, you would LEAD. Instead you just BLAME and SPEND and then BLAME and SPEND some more, and then BLAME someone else for all of it. November? That's when we shut you down. Good Riddance to you and as many of your DemoBrats that we can get rid of!"

ALL AMERICANS NEED TO REMEMBER THE LAST 19 MONTHS
AND GET TO THE POLLS IN NOVEMBER.
TAKE BACK AMERICA WITH YOUR VOTE.
IT'S ALL WE HAVE.

SUMMER OF ECONOMIC DISASTER

Obama's Summer of Recovery is turning into the Fall of Revolt and primary voters continue to point to the nation's distressed economic health as their top concern. Year-to-year economic growth is declining and unemployment is rising, not a good situation when you are trying to con the public into thinking this is what a "Recovery" looks like.

Not smart enough to see that his spending-taxing-regulation policies are hugely responsible for the economic mess we are in, what does the Beginner In The Oval Office do? He announces yet another 50 billion dollar stimulus package allegedly for "small businesses." It remains to be seen which "small businesses" will be the recipients of the latest money-give-away. Wanna bet it will be union companies that get the biggest breaks? He surely wouldn't want to break his streak of giveaways to the unions.

And of course, the Buck-Passer-In-Chief blames Republicans for holding up this spending bill that he believes will suddenly create jobs. Can the Chief Economic Destroyer in the White House be as stupid as he appears to be? I bet yes. November is just around the corner, thank goodness.

Kicked Out of Business By Obama & His Car Czar

Did you hear Rush today? A woman from Detroit, MI called in and this is what she told Rush.

She owned a Chrysler -Jeep dealership in Detroit during the Obama bail out of Chrysler. It was the ONLY Chrysler dealership in Detroit, and was one of the largest dealership in the country.

When Obama took over Chrysler she never expected her dealership to be affected because it was doing a great business, was profitable, and had been in business for years.

Guess what happened to her? One day she got a letter from the Federal Government telling her that she had 28 days to liquidate her inventory and close her dealership. Her contract with Chrysler was not being renewed. She had no choice. She sold everything at a huge loss, lost her livelihood, layed off all her employees, and lost everything she had in the dealership.

Rush asked her if she is a Republican. She said yes, she was. She then stated that as of today someone else was given the Detroit contract with Chrysler and that party now has a dealership, the only dealership in Detroit.

What do you want to bet that the new owner is a Democrat? When Obama took over Chrysler and GM I read some articles about them closing dealerships owned by Republicans, even profitable, viable dealerships, and not closing any dealerships owned by Democrats, even if not profitable and viable.

Google this and check it out. Probably lots of articles on the subject. And don't even think this couldn't happen. With Obama and his hoods anything can happen. They are underhanded crooks and will stop at nothing to enact their own agenda, no matter how illegal and unethical it is.

November here we come, and then two more years and they will all be history. Hopefully it won't take us more than one term to undo the damage they done to our country.

Too bad there is no hope for the woman from Detroit. She has lost everything and will never get it back.
