Yeah, why get upset.

They're going to confirm no matter what comes up.

Prop 187 passed in CA because it was directly voted on. If it were left to the legislators, the LAUSD would still be teaching in 110 different languages and the border in CA would be on the honor system.

They hate high leverage on Wall Street for the incentive it creates but force it into the housing market. What morons.

They started saying in public what they've been saying in private their whole lives. Even the media came out of their liberal closets and started screaming to the world what liberal tools they are.

He flipping the bird to America on his way out. The next Congress should retroactively yank pensions from any Senator who was too dumb to realize he got a beneficial interest rate from a company he was in charge of legislation for.

But it's the only place they're allowed to drill because the environmental wackos won't allow drilling closer in. Another stupid story by AP that doesn't really mention the real issues.

The North Koreans don't have to worry about people thinking for themselves, but the AP has to be creative enough to fool the half of people who can't see through the BS.

And received bomb making training in Waziristan. How can they say with a straight face that this is homegrown?

They're not calling for anarchy, they're calling for restrained government. The anti-government types are the ones protesting at things like the G-8 or G-20 summits every year. Of course he never seems to be out there telling them that words matter, let alone the actual violence they do, because of course they're on the left. Where was he when there were actual signs with threats to Bush? Or does he parse those as anything anti-Bush is ok, versus anti-government which is not ok? And again it's not anti-government we're talking about, it's restrained government people want. I don't mind him calling for civility, but he'd better be out at the next G-8 or G-20 summits saying the same thing to those protesters.

With a tax cut, people get to keep more of the money they earn. With a tax credit the government gives people money for something. Credits are at the whim of the politicians. The ultimate expression of that is the cash for clunkers credit which lasted just weeks, or the homebuyer tax credit that was changed within the same tax year that doesn't apply to purchases early in the year. With tax cuts you don't have to do anything that the politicians think you should do to get it, you just get it. And within a tier, the more you make the more you save. If you want to get cute and call things tax cuts because people are paying less taxes, then you're going to have to start adding all the increased taxes that people will be paying. Smokers paid more federal taxes last year. The federal tax tripled. In a few years, there will be an increase in taxes for people without health insurance. Those are the ones out now. But they tried a carbon tax and are considering a VAT and higher gas taxes.

The President's forecast for jobs right now WITHOUT the stimulus was 9%, continuing through Q3, then declining in 2011. So we're doing worse than his forecast of the situation without stimulus. Except we did have nearly $1 trillion in "stimulus" and increased government spending that went toward ridiculous crap like dog parks, bike paths, trips to give speeches around the world, and increased government bureaucracy that doesn't stimulate anything. Obama didn't stabilize the banks. The Fed did that and note TARP was started under Bush, and the Fed has made a profit on it except for the money that got pissed away on GM and Chrysler right before they went bankrupt. I don't know how anyone can claim no terrorist attack on American soil when 13 people were killed by a terrorist at Fort Hood. But I guess delusions infect the liberal view of the world.

Had those wasted billions gone to across the board tax cuts, people would have spent the money the way they want rather than what some clueless wonders think they should spend their money on. In times like this, taxes and regulation have to go down, not up.

I think that $400 credit that Obama thinks I should be grateful for is going to take a long time to add up to the $250,000 that Obama saved. Some people can be bought off for some trinkets today, but only a fool could watch promises turn to lies the last year, and trust him now. He's going after that money through the back door. Carbon taxes, cigarette tax, "fines" for not having health insurance, closed "loopholes", etc. Fri, 16 Apr 2010 22:00:38 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9F3SNC81&show_article=1#IDComment68434001
