Wait! They're conservative??

The people at this newspaper are known to be openly supportive of conservative causes, and openly critical of liberal ones. Thus, it’s of little wonder that they publish an article admitting that the current administration can not live up to its own pledge of not raising taxes on the middle class.

The well-known conservative newspaper? None other than the NY Times.

Surprise!

This is like Barney Frank giving out financial advice. Oh wait...

Charlie Rangel is touting an income tax hike as the “moral thing to do.”

Charlie Rangel is a pompous buffoon who is a tax cheat, has broken the law, and has no business serving in politics. He should be in prison.

I refuse to acknowledge anything this goober says as having any moral authority.

It May Not Be About Him, But It's Absolutely About Me And You

The battle for capitalism and the government taking over 1/6th of the US economy may not be about Obama, but it is about me, and my taxes, and my freedom.

Stop it, Obama. Leave my health care alone.

She Just Loves To Spend Your Money

Pelosi is already planning on what to do with any leftover money they steal from you, should there be any left over after paying for the health care boondoggle.

When will democrats just be honest and say they are going to raise tax rates to 100%?

That Sound Was The Other Shoe Dropping

Lefties finally came out of the closet and announced they will seek massive new taxes to pay for that little old health care bill.

Hey, Guess What? They Found Another Tax That's Not Just For The Rich

Are you ready for a tax on using your cell phone? The IRS has decided they want to tax personal use of work provided cell phones as a fringe benefit. They decided that unless you provide “proof” that you are using your personal phone for personal calls, you will be charged federal taxes on 25% of your work cell phone bill.

That’s just one more step down the slippery slope, people.

I was listening on the radio this morning as two local talk hosts were discussing health care, and one said that congressional democrats were discussing taxing health care benefits in order to pay for this sweeping governmental takeover (my words, not theirs). He then said this (and I am paraphrasing here) - this would make Obama break his campaign promise to not raise taxes on people who aren't rich.

I don't know where this guy has been , but evidently he is not aware that promise has been broken, smashed, grinded and pulverized already.

What About The Myth That He Is President?

Salon has come out with a laundry list of “myths” being perpetrated upon His Royalness The Most Holy O – you know, the guy that Newsweek’s editor calls “God.”

Some of these are simply hilarious in their defenses. Some examples:

For the “myth” that Obama can’t function without a teleprompter, they admit he indeed uses one, but whips out the popular logic of a twelve year old – but everybody does it! But they wind up having to admit he uses it more than his predecessors, and uses it in places like rodeo rings, press conferences and “casual announcements.”

For the “myth” that Obama is the Antichrist (how do you prove or disprove that one yet? – j/k), they use as proof the admission that the winning lottery numbers in Illinois the day after he was elected were 6-6-6. Yep, that’s some good proof.

For the “myth” that Obama and other lefties want to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, they fall into a convoluted explanation that revolves around the fact that if they change the name of it, it’s no longer the same thing. Ahhhhh…..now we see.

For the “myth” that stimulus money will be spent on the high speed rail between Las Vegas and Disneyland, they do admit that Harry Reid has boasted about this, but they combat the myth by saying, well, the money hasn’t been spent yet, so there.

For the twin “myths” of Obama is a Socialist or Facist, they use pretty much the same argument – he’s not a COMPLETE Socialist/Facist, so you can’t ever say he has leanings towards one or the other. You can’t say it or claim it. Ever. So there. I guess if someone kills 99 people but lets #100 live, you can’t call them a murderer.

For the “myth” that Republican dealers were targeted for closure in the Chrysler debacle, they pull out the fact that a disproportionate number of dealers were Republican to begin, so you should expect more Republican dealers to be closed. Funny how that reasoning won’t wash with lefties in the capital punishment and/or prison argument.

I am not even going into the “myth” about Obama wanting to raise taxes. They scrunch right into the leftie chant of “raising taxes on the rich.” I guess only the rich smoke, and I know for a fact that companies never, ever, ever pass tax raises onto consumers.

Thanks, Salon. That was fun.

To A Leftie, It's The Cycle Of Life

Obama says he is raising taxes on businesses.

Obama says this will create jobs.

Microsoft says they will move jobs overseas because Obama is making US jobs too expensive.

The national media bows to Obama and calls him God.

Millions of idiots who voted for Obama and don’t have a clue sit on their couches oblivious and watch American Idol.

Obama begins the cycle anew by planning some new taxes.

Twice Zero Is Still Zero

According to a recent poll, 32% said they would be willing to pay higher taxes for universal health care, while 54% say they are not. No breakdown on how many of that 32% pay no taxes now as it is, or how many of those were willing to pay more even if it meant a severe degradation in the quality of care.


Of Course Mom Won't Blame Her Daughter, Or Take Any Responsibility Herself

Read here and here about the high school girl who decided to not wear panties on the day pictures were being shot for the yearbook, and the inevitable conclusion to that decision. Of course the mother is placing all blame on the school.


Wherever He Goes, We'll Help Him Pack

If Alec Baldwin ever goes through with his promise to move from the US because Bush was elected, he’ll want to find somewhere to go other than the Philippines.


It's Called Perspective

This widely circulated chart shows the vast differences between the overspending by Presidents Bush and Obama.

It’s kind of like looking at a man running a 100 yard dash in the Olympics and then looking at a car zipping down the backstretch at Talladega at over 200 mph, and saying, “they’re both going fast.”
