Press Prejudice

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/rep-john-fleming-field-criticism-over-600k-income-153305241.html

Fleming was merely pointing out a consequence of tax increases–that business owners will have less money to re-invest and hire new workers if they decline to take a pay cut. But his message likely won’t resonate, as Jansing said, with “average Americans.”  This is the key reality that is buried deep in the center of the article.  The reporting here is more of the sensational pro Obama reporting that telling one message in the headline, reinforces that message in the first several paragraphs and then makes a factual correction toward the end of the article , a point by the way, that most research on news reading, points out that the reader has gone onto other articles since the average American reader gets, the headline and the first two paragraphs and forgets the rest of the article. 

Romney Experienced Businessman

The key point and it was  really  a big one was made about Romney.  He has been and is a successful businessman.  Now many people want to bash the businessman.  Obama wants to make them all equal to the worker and “level the playing field”  plus Obama is setting up a class warfare based on money earned which is destructive of business in America.  Romney has business experience, he has a good respect for and strong support among the business community.  He is pro business.  That means he is in favor of  creating American jobs.  The government’s hiring is like the Transportation Security Administration.  They are “thousands standing around”…what in the world did these people do before they were hired by the taxpayer to search travelers?… actually they do not search they merely watch you…Anyway, TSA employees, citizens all, and assuredly good and fine citizens, but they do not produce anything.  They provide a service, which is to watch me as I pass thru the metal detector…but they have no product…nothing is created…and what we need is business jobs that consume resources like metal and rubber and food and turn it into something else like a boat or a plane or a hot dog…Romney understands government because he was the governor of a populous Eastern State, and he understands business, and this combination of executive experience plus government service and his detailed jobs creation plan, makes him the nominee in my book

The Price of Food Skyrockets

While President Obama is playing politics with our future, the price of food at the supermarket is climbing.  While Obama is playing games with our tax future by pretending to tax only the rich, he is actually increasing the amount of money out of everybody’s pocket.  While Obama is taxing us 400 billion for his help the Unions job plan, the same Unions plan on spending billions of dues collected from these tax payer funded union jobs. On What will they  spend the collected dues?  They will spend the tax funded dues to campaign for the election of Obama to a second term.  Then he can propose to tax us again to kept the union workers working while the rest of us lose our jobs, take a pay cut in the form of higher taxes.  Or if he actually does get elected, and the Republicans lose control of the House of Representatives, we will see the USA enter the final death crisis of a bankrupt economy that has printed too much money, owes foreign nations too much interest and a country that has regulated and taxed its citizens into perpetual poverty.

New Candidates for Public Office

… Subject: Charley Reese’s final column for the Orlando Sentinel… Who do you think is really responsible for the acknowledged 14.3 trillion deficit? A very interesting column.. It is a Congress bashing indictment that seems to exonerate the President but it is a good read to see how some people are willing to set the blame on one side and let the other side get away with irresponsibility.  You can find the entire article online.  I use only a portion of it for be=revity and because I think this portion reflects the context I want to address in this blog.

…”Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits? Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The President does. You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don’t write the tax code, Congress does. You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does. You and I don’t control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does. One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress.

This might be funny if it weren’t so true. Be sure to read all the way to the end: Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table, At which he’s fed. Tax his tractor, Tax his mule, Teach him taxes Are the rule. Tax his work, Tax his pay, He works for peanuts anyway! Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his ties, Tax his shirt, Tax his work, Tax his dirt. Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he Tries to think. Tax his cigars, Tax his beers, If he cries Tax his tears. Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways To tax his ass. Tax all he has Then let him know That you won’t be done Till he has no dough. When he screams and hollers; Then tax him some more, Tax him till He’s good and sore. Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in Which he’s laid… Put these words Upon his tomb, ‘Taxes drove me to my doom…’ When he’s gone, Do not relax, Its time to apply The inheritance tax. Accounts Receivable Tax Building Permit Tax CDL license Tax Cigarette Tax Corporate Income Tax Dog License Tax Excise Taxes Federal Income Tax Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) Fishing License Tax Food License Tax Fuel Permit Tax Gasoline Tax (currently 44.75 cents per gallon) Gross Receipts Tax Hunting License Tax Inheritance Tax Inventory Tax IRS Interest Charges IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax) Liquor Tax Luxury Taxes Marriage License Tax Medicare Tax Personal Property Tax Property Tax Real Estate Tax Service Charge Tax Social Security Tax Road Usage Tax Recreational Vehicle Tax Sales Tax School Tax State Income Tax State Unemployment Tax (SUTA) Telephone Federal Excise Tax Telephone Federal Universal Service Fee Tax Telephone Federal, State and Local Surcharge Taxes Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax Telephone Recurring and Nonrecurring Charges Tax Telephone State and Local Tax Telephone Usage Charge Tax Utility Taxes Vehicle License Registration Tax Vehicle Sales Tax Watercraft Registration Tax Well Permit Tax Workers Compensation Tax STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.. What in the heck happened? Can you spell ‘politicians?’ I hope this goes around THE USA at least 545 times!!! YOU can help it get there!!! GO AHEAD. . . BE AN AMERICAN!!! BTW: since they are the problem, THEY will NOT be the ones to fix the problem, it has to come from “we the people” Blessings, ”

I agree with the sentiment but a rant and rage against all politicians is meaningless.  They are there and they are there to stay.  But we do not need to have the same ones year in and year out.  We the people need to get better informed about what the politicians are actually doing.  Forget what they are saying…all of that is rhetoric.  Rather, get from the Internet the voting records of your Senator and your Congressman and hold them accountable and if they do not get it straight, then campaign against them and seek to elect somebody else.  This writer is in New Jersey.  It is a strong Labor Union State and the Labor Unions spend the automatically deducted Union dues in order to conduct massive multi million dollar campaigns to keep the pro union politicians in office.  Mine are Frank Lautenberg, a man who is over seventy-five and has fifty million dollars in personal wealth.  Like Bloomberg he could buy the office (shame) with his own money.  But he doesn’t need to do that, he just needs the union bosses to pay, and they do. Frank can do whatever he wants in the US Senate and he does, as long as the Union bosses agree.  We also have Senator Menendez, who always acknowledges your letters but quickly tells you that you are wrong and then proposes to you the Union Boss line of thinking.  I do not believe that either Senator has ever been bi partisan, ever crossed the line to vote with the other guy.  Their voting record reads like a Harry Reid or Obama play book…if some legislation is initiated by Republicans it is dead on arrival or vetoed in Senate committee.  Add to them Steve Rothman another Democrat with bona Fides equaling above two.  SO WHAT?  This is what.  If you agree with the above article then get going to elect Congressmen and Senators who are more reflective of what you think should be done in America.  Dump the politicians controlled by the Union Bosses.  Dump the fifty million dollar Senator who wants to tax you because you make over 250,000 dollars income.  Stop Obama from destroying Social Security by “lowering” the one source of its income, namely the Social Security tax. 

What else can you do?  Get into the Primary elections in your State and if there are no primaries get one going.  What will this do?  A primary is a direct challenge to the good old boy cronyism of the local political parties, both Republican and Democrat.  In my NJ District the Democrat party just keeps putting up those in office (obviously) and the Republicans run old boy, back room cronies who don’t stand a chance of election because they are selected just to fill the ballot and not as real possible problem solvers for the people.  Sarah Palin and Mark Levin the Tea Party movement are the big hope right now for the Primary process.  I do not mean as candidates but as educators and encouragers of the local political hopefuls.   Palin and the tea party have the knowledge and they have gained the organizational skill to run new and unknown candidates against the political hacks and Union lackeys and entrenched office holders.  We don’t need to erase the institutions of government, we need to get involved and put the right people into government. 

Republican Debate-Valid Scores?

I did not watch the first debate and I did not watch the debate last night.  I do not like debates.  Why?  Because as a very young man I listened to the radio broadcast of the Nixon/Kennedy debate and I believed that Nixon was the definitive winner of the debate.  However, the paid commentators and political pundits all gave the win to Kennedy.  Many have since written that the debate definitely was Nixon’s on content and relevancy.  It was Kennedy’s on looks, charm and rhetorical flare.  So I do not watch debates.  How many others, especially Republicans who are likely to vote, did not watch?  Therefore my question is, Did Romney lose and Perry win?  And should we care?  My vote is that the debates are not real indicators of the quality of a candidate’s potential to be a serious minded President of the USA.  What do you think?

Puppet Masters

The Libyan situation is playing out like a very well orchestrated puppet show.  But who are the puppet masters.  We know about  Sarkozy, Obama, Cameron.  But what about the back room players.  How did these three get away with toppling the Legally recognized government of Libya.  (This writer acknowledges the dictatorship and to be revealed horrors of the regime) but there are plenty of others and we are not yet waging a United Nations backed “war of civilian protection” against these regimes.  So who are the unseen players?  What did they contribute the this “peacekeeping” war. And what do they intend to get out of it.  This is surprized at the open display of leftist organizations and international organizations claiming to be for human rights.  Who was it that was immediately present in Tripoli to search for and reveal the alleged cooperation of former governments with the Libyan regime?  Why are these organizations very anxious to produce allegations against former leaders?  We know of the French connect.  We also witness the Murdock scandal implicating Cameron and the London riots.  Now we have Obama in trouble with the electorate.  Would a hulabaloo scandal against the former regimes of of England and USA work to the “surprize” advantage of these warmongers.  In England we already have the announcement of an investigation into the ties of the former government and Libya, sort of a real quick play to throw the dirt of the other guy and divert attention from the Cameron troubles.  What will be next. You can expect a revisit to the former USA administration and the return of the Liberal shout that all of the USA problems were caused by Bush.

Obama Falls in the Polls.

No one is saying Obama is a bad person. Nor that is is not a good husband and father.  The key issue is that his agenda is the wrong one for America.  And his agenda is part of his creed.  He actually believes that he should apologize for America.  Instead of helping us to remain strong economically, he has wasted our resources on failed programs.  A strong USA is a blessing to under developed nations.  A vibrant US economy is a help to struggling nations.  A healthy US economy is a buyer of the goods and services for sale by others.  When we buy their goods we put food on their table as well as feed our economic engine.  So let us not paint all critics of the Obama administration as Obama haters.  Sure there are some who will not see any good in the man.  They are wrong.  None the less, Obama cannot change his core belief that America is just another nation among a world of nations.  In a classroom philosophy class that may be true.  But he is the President of the USA and such a belief is not the right one.

Libyan Rebels Okay with Anti Black Racism

Also Wednesday, Amnesty International urged Libya’s rebels to end attacks against black Libyans and sub-Saharan Africans, saying fighters engaging in such abuse should be detained and investigated. Amnesty said its delegation in Tripoli had witnessed a number of incidents in which the rebels detained or abused black hospital patients. The rebels have often targeted dark-skinned foreigners, suspecting them of being sub-Saharan mercenaries hired by the Gadhafi regime.

The paragraph speaks for itself

Anti White Racism by US Congressman is okay?

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/rep-andré-carson-tea-party-members-congress-want-142624474.html

This is not political speech.  This is anti white racism.  But I guess liberal/progressives are okay with it because it is anti white.  Strange really, because most liberal/progressives are white.  I guess they are okay with it because they think the attack is against the “other” white meat.
