Big Government : Learning from Hamas: How #Occupy Uses Human Shields--Veterans, Women, the Young, the Old, the Disabl

Thu, 27 Oct 2011 21:42:42 +0000

Nathaniel Green used a variation of this tactic for the colonies during the Revolutionary war. He would put the more poorly trained and equipped Militia up front to absorb the first offensive thrust by the British. Of course they weren't old men and women etc. But the idea is similar. Put the weaker of front as shields in order to win the battle.

Definitely biased against the GOP However, Conservatives should try vetting Godfather's Pizza revenues and earnings when Cain ran it including for the 2.5 years at Pillsbury before he purchased it. It was horrible. Sales dropped by 41% in real dollar equivalents during the years that he ran Godfather's Pizza.. Cain laid off thousands of employees. Godfather's Pizza was the 2nd largest pizza chain in America when Pillsbury gave it to Cain to run. When Cain finally exited Godfather's Pizza they had fallen to #6. Cain has never shown Godfather's Pizza financials as well as his tax returns during the years that he owned Godfather's Pizza and continues to resist requests to do so. Conservatives should also vett Cain's current and continuing ties to the Fed Reserve. Yes he was considered one of their more Conservative people when he was with the Federal Reserve but he has stated that he does not think that Congress should audit them. Conservatives need to get their act together on Cain and vett him in detail like they have Romney and Perry.

Big Government : The Anti-Semitic and Anti-Israel Organizers of #OccupyWallStreet

Anti-Semitism has been around ever since Jesus died. It will never go away. All that happens is that it often lies dormant until the environment is ripe for it to rear its ugly head again. Its the same with racism on all sides. It will never go away but just lie dormant until the proper time arises. P.S. Most people do not know this but both Jews and Arabs are Semites. Just saying.

Too bad Big Government didn't look into this kind of detail with regards to Obama's photo shopped birth certificate. Then again it doesn't surprise me since BG has been pretty strong about its Anti-Birther stance.

Big Government : Is Cain Able to Kill the Tax Code?

Sun, 16 Oct 2011 21:59:56 +0000

Cain 999 plan has all kinds of problems 1. Most jobs are added by small businesses who are for the most part sub-S corporations. Very few of those owners pay much tax because their salary from the business that they own lowers the income of the sub-S corporation and their own income tax since their taxable income includes the income or loss from their businesses. Cain's plan would remove a lot of the deductions that small businesses use to help them reduce their taxes make enough money to hire people and grow their business. This would all be gone under the Cain plan. 2. Cain wants to eliminate the Social Security and Medicare taxes so where is the funding for Social Security come from? How do you decide how much tax goes into funding Social Security? How do you determine the Social Security payments to retirees if they pay no Social Security tax? Some bureaucrat? 3. So Cain want's to give waivers on income tax to the poor. How does that broaden the tax base? The breakeven point on Cain's 999 vs the current Federal Income tax rate shedule for a married couple without any deductions except for the standard deduction and personal exemptions is about $37,000 AGI. It gets even hirer when you eliminate all the deductions and tax credits that they now have. The idea that his plan will create jobs sounds like Obama saying the stimulus will create jobs. Most small business owners who are the job creators do not pay 9% Income tax. 4. 20% sales tax in CA? Who is gong to want to buy stuff when they have to pay a 20% tax. People will buy things through the black market or buy it in Mexico from the Cartel owned businesses or in Canada which will only put more money into the pockets of the Mexican Cartels. Other people will delay buying new stuff and keep using the old stuff. Under Cain's plan someone who wants to buy a Lexus will pay one years car payments in sales tax on the purchase when combine the CA sales tax with Cain's 9% tax. Who will rush out to buy a new Lexus when they have to pay that ridiculous tax rate? 5. Cain's plan is consistent with his Wall Street Federal Reserve background. The only people it will help are the large corporations who pay on the average 15% - 20% tax and are not the main job creators. People really need to do their own due diligence on Cain's 999 plan and not buy into what he or his supporters are saying. People also need to look at Cain's years with Godfather Pizza where sales fell by 41% in real terms during the period when he ran it. He closed hundreds of Godfather Pizza stores and laid off thousands of employees. On top of that Pillsbury paid about $125 million for Pillsbury. They then turned it over to Cain to run to increase its value. 2 1/2 years later Cain purchased it from Pillsbury after running it into the ground and paid Pillsbury jsut $40 million for it Cain has refused to make his income tax returns public, just like Obama who to this day hides all kinds of information about his background including his school records. The GOP specifically Conservatives are supporting Cain without vetting him because they are sick and tired of being called racists. There is a sucker born every minute and Cain's early success proves that. Electing or supporting somebody because of a dumb tax plan is just plain stupidity but then most American voters are stupid. After all, they elected Obama. Cain will get destroy in foreign affairs. He has absolutely no experience in this area and the Muslim world will eat him up and spit him out as they advance their goal of world wide Sharia. If people think Obama is bad G-d help us if Cain becomes POTUS

The first principal of Libertarianism is. Don't tread on me. In other words. You have no right to tell me how to live and I have no right to tell you how to live provided that you or I don't harm each other. Now lets apply that the U.S. Constitution which was was founded on the belief in Nation States. So by extension Libertarianism holds. One Nation State has no right to tell another Nation State how to live or do their business. The second tenant of Libertarianism is that a person or Nation State has no right to commit violence against another person or Nation State except in self defense. That is why Libertarians hold that abortion is illegal and immoral. Abortion is the commission of an act of violence against another human being except in self defense. So the whole question comes about Abortion comes down down when is a person considered defending itself against violence of an unborn child and therefore allowed to abort an unborn child, (answer. Only when an unborn child threatens the life of he mother). Likewise the question of Nation Building comes down to when is another nation considered defending itself against violence perpetrated on it by another Nation State and therefore allowed to defend itself. This is where it becomes subjective in the real world; i.e. when is one Nation State considered to have committed an act of aggression against another Nation State and therefore the second Nation State allowed to attack the first Nation State as an act of self-defense? Neocons justify Nation Building using Bush's First Strike Clause theory; i.e. If you believe or think you have evidence that another Nation State may attack you, you have a right to go in and kill its citizens without declaring war all in the name of spreading democracy. You also have the right to go into neighboring Nation States and kill its citizens and tell them how to live if you feel they are in danger of being attacked by that Nation State or even if they have been attacked by that Nation State because that action is a Corollary to the Bush First Strike doctrine. Therefore Neocons justify Nation Building by saying that America has a right to invade other Nation States, kill its citizens and tell them how to live simply because the Neocons think that that Nation State may someday attack them. That is like saying that I can go into someone's home and kill a person's family because I believe that one day that person may attack me. Ridiculous.

I don't agree with the cause of the financial crisis as Lucas stated being the "Financial Instruments" The root cause of the Financial Crisis which resulted from the housing bubble was three fold. 1. Senator Edward Kennedy's amendment to the FHA which allowed financially unqualified people to buy homes. 2. Fannie and Freddie Mac buying these loans from the banks 3. ACORN bank intimidation or as it probably could more appropriately be called "extortion" of the large banks. The Financial Instruments that were created to enable the banks to comply with items #1 - #3 above. So yes they may have been the trigger that led to the collapse of the housing bubble but they were not the cause of it, IMO

No doubt that Obama has been influenced by the current thinking and teaching in our Universities. However, the author totally ignores these facts. 1. Obama's mother was a communist 2. Obama supposed father and his step-father were both devout Muslms 3. Frank Marshall Davis his tutor in Hawaii during Obama's teenage years was an admitted Communist, Black Liberatonist, Pedofile and bisexual.

Big Government : The First Birthers Were Progressive Democrats

Sat, 23 Apr 2011 22:12:53 +0000

You would be hard pressed to prove that people who raise the birther issue are taking an aggressive action against others with the intent of physically harming others. Therefore their support for this issue is up to them. That is what I think What I also think is that people like you, Beck, Coulter etc who attack the Birthers do not adhere the the 1st Amendment of the Constitution because they are trying to stifle speech. The same goes for those who try and shut up Geert Wilders who is understands what the concept of out 1st Amendment to the Constitution means and is probably the strongest defender of that concept of any politician in the world.

For the record, again, I believe that His Presidency is a natural born American citizen. Why? because without evidence to the contrary ---------------------------- There is evidence that Obama was born in Kenya 1. Obama's Grandmother says he was born in Kenya Grandmother says Obama born in Kenya http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bloHSojeLAw 2. Kenyan Ambassador says he was born in Kenya Kenyan Ambassador Finally Admits Obama Born in Kenya http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SebxDwji__I 3. The Kenyan Parliament on the record says he was born in Kenya Kenya's Parliament Officially Claims Obama Born in Kenya Follow the links on link below to see the actual Kenyan Parliament record saying that Obama was born in Kenya. http://patriotsheepdog.blogspot.com/2011/02/kenya... So you have two people and the official Kenyan Parlaiment record saysing that Obama was born in Kenya. All would be admissable in court if they ever allowed a birther lawsuit to get to the evidenciary stage. In the meantime Obama has spent over $1.5 million in legal fees to see that this does not happen.

Palin is more Libertarian then Conservatives want to admit. Even on Marijuana her position against it is a personal one in they prefers that her children don't use it. My guess is that her position on this one would go the 10th Amendment. She would say leave it up to the states to decide.

Palin comment on the Egypt situation in an interview with CBN's David Brody ------------------------------------------ On the situation in Egypt: (Video coming after 9pm ET Sunday Night) Sarah Palin: “Remember, President Reagan lived that mantra trust but verify. We want to be able to trust those who are screaming for democracy there in Egypt, that it is a true sincere desire for freedoms and the challenge that we have though, is how do we verify what it is that we are being told, what it is that the American public are being fed via media, via the protestors, via the government there in Egypt in order for us to really have some sound information to make wise decisions on what our position is. Trust but verify, and try to understand is what I would hope our leaders are engaged in right now. Who’s going to fill the void? Mubarak, he’s gone, one way or the other you know, he is not going to be the leader of Egypt, that that’s a given, so now the information needs to be gathered and understood as to who it will be that fills now the void in the government. Is it going to be the Muslim Brotherhood? We should not stand for that, or with that or by that. Any radical Islamists, no that is not who we should be supporting and standing by, so we need to find out who was behind all of the turmoil and the revolt and the protests so that good decisions can be made in terms of who we will stand by and support.” On President Obama’s handling of the crisis in Egypt:(Video coming after 9pm ET Sunday Night) Sarah Palin: “It’s a difficult situation, this is that 3am White House phone call and it seems for many of us trying to get that information from our leader in the White House it it seems that that call went right to um the answering machine. And nobody yet has, no body yet has explained to the American public what they know, and surely they know more than the rest of us know who it is who will be taking the place of Mubarak and I'm not real enthused about what it is that that’s being done on a national level and from DC in regards to understanding all the situation there in Egypt. And in these areas that are so volatile right now because obviously it’s not just Egypt but the other countries too where we are seeing uprisings, we know that now more than ever, we need strength and sound mind there in the White House. We need to know what it is that America stands for so we know who it is that America will stand with. And we do not have all that information yet.” http://blogs.cbn.com/thebrodyfile/archive/2011/02...

I am surprised that this is the first time that it has been reported on in the news. Then I second thought I am surprised given where it happened that it was reported on at all.
