800 Billion Dollar Stimulus - No Sale!
>
“Democrat Light” - Senators Specter and Collins
One of the oldest tricks in a salesman’s book is telling his customer they have to act and they have to act NOW. It’s a limited offer, a 1 day sales event, the price is about to go up, it will never be offered again at this price. You get the picture.
Here comes President Obama selling the United States citizens his democratic party dream of a century everything they ever wanted to have guaranteed power forever Stimulus bill. Not only is President Obama saying act now but he is adding the element of fear by saying that disaster will befall us if we don’t act. Really Mr. President! Still talking doom a gloom? Next thing you know you will be telling the American people they are in a Malaise!
Believe me when I tell you this. The Democrats will destroy the economy of The United States if it helps achieve their political goals. They already demonstrated that with forced subprime loans, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and talking down the economy on the run-up to the election.
The Democrats are going to spend 800 Billion dollars on things that have NO promise of stimulating the economy. This will indebt every man, woman and child in America with a payment of 2,580 dollars or more, plus interest. I don’t see how The United States government will be able to service the debt load that they are accumulating now. We would be better off if they do nothing.
Are we supposed to believe that the Government can better spend the money than the people they are supposed to represent? What the people need is tax relief. I still say that a 3 month tax holiday would be the best stimulus package available and it would NOT cost more than 350 billion dollars. It’s a no brainer! Watch how fast the “producers” can turn the economy around!
Now it look like this “NON stimulus” plan is going to pass thanks to some Republican turncoats in The United States Senate.
Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) credited Specter and Sens. Susan Collins (R., Maine), Ben Nelson (D., Neb.) and Joe Lieberman (I., Conn.) with saving the package. 1
Arlen Specter, “aka Democrat light” of Pennsylvania said, “But I do believe we have to act, and under the circumstances, this is the best we can do.” He thought that it was a “very unpopular vote.”1 Parts of the bill “give me heartburn,” Specter said.1 Senator Specter, if this is the best you can do perhaps the people of Pennsylvania will exercise your retirement plan 21 months from now. Bet on it!
Lieberman, in a news conference, said Specter and Collins “really deserve the medal of honor for what they’ve done here tonight. They’ve put national interest ahead of party interest.1 Hey Joe, it’s more like a badge of dishonor and putting self interest first.
This Stimulus bill is wrong on all counts and need to be stopped now.
President Woodrow Wilson, the first President of The United States to use the D word, Democracy. Also Lurched America to the left under the guise of “Progressive reform.”
Central Banking and a graduated, progressive Income Tax became law during his administration.
I’m posting this here as a reminder to all Americans just how far along our country has moved toward the 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto. I present the list from Karl Marx and Frederick Engels original document, (translated of course), with a few remarks of my own.
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
The 16th amendment of the United States Constitution, ratified in 1913, established a tax on income. Originally it was 1% on the first $20,000 and 7% on incomes above $500,000. In the beginning less than 1% paid income tax.
Progressive and graduated, Washington DC has turned this into a heavy burden on the American economy. The producers are punished and the non-producers are rewarded with welfare payments cleverly called “refundable tax credits” or “unearned income tax credits.”
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
When the Bush tax cuts expire in 2011 the State confiscates as much as 55% of estates upon the owner’s death. That is more than half the way towards abolishment of inheritance, right there.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Can you say Federal Reserve? I’ll bet you can.
Is the Democrat triumvirate of Obama, Pelosi and Reid going to bring about the nationalization of our banking institutions. I sure wouldn’t put it past them.
Do you remember what President Obama’s Chief of Staff, Raul Emmanuel said? “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.”
Economic conditions being what they are, this bears watching very closely.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc.
Free education in Government schools. Sound familiar?
Placing your child in a Government school is the worse form of abuse a parent can carry out.
With a population of 303,824,640 people the United States citizens will be completely unemployed in a few weeks. That is, if Nancy Pelosi has her facts right.
Maybe she misspoke and really meant that 500 million Americans will lose their jobs in 1 month. I guess she must be counting all 303 million Americans and another 197 million illegal aliens.
Looks like the aged, hollow eyed, hippie chick’s mind has turned on, tuned in and dropped out.
The real scary part! She is the most powerful woman in the world and 2nd in line to the Presidency of the United States.
“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.”
Alexis de Tocqueville
“We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.”
ALBANY - Gov. Paterson, defying the liberal wing of his Democratic Party, has chosen little-known, NRA-backed, upstate Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton as New York’s junior senator, it was learned last night.
The surprising - and, for many Democrats shocking - decision to pick the conservative Gillibrand, 42, from Hudson in Columbia County, was disclosed by the governor in calls to party officials and some members of the state’s congressional delegation, many of whom said they were unhappy with the selection, sources said.
A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.
What will it take for the Republican Party to renew itself?
It certainly isn’t going to be a lurch to the left as some Republicans have demonstrated in recent months, (cough, cough, John McCain).
NO!
It will take a return to the values that have made the Republican Party great. Strong moral values, Smaller government, lower taxes, getting government out of the way so that individuals can grab the American Dream. These are the things that the Grand Old Party, currently know as “Democrat Light” once stood for.
David Frum has started a new website to explore what it will take to renew the GOP. Brand new for your review is the NewMajority website. Check it out!
From the website….....
Our goal here at NewMajority.com is to renew and reform our Republican party and the conservative philosophy – so that we can again earn the confidence of the American people and govern responsibly and effectively. We don’t claim to have all the answers. We are sure that we are asking the right questions. And we have assembled and are continuing to assemble some of the most thoughtful people in the land to answer them. Most are Republicans. Some are ex-Republicans. A few (we expect) are on their way to becoming Republicans at some point in the future
Forget everything the mainstream media tells you about the “cycle of violence” and the “peace process.” The conflict in the Middle East boils down to one issue; the imposition of Islam upon the world. Hamas, as a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate, is perfectly open about its desire for a global Islamic caliphate. Such an enemy by definition can never be appeased, and must be destroyed
How long is Israel supposed to put up with Hamas’ rocket attacks? What would Russia do if they were attacked time and time again by terrorists outside of its border? How would the United States react if San Antonio was attacked by rocket fire from terrorists in Mexico? You know what would happen!
They would react exactly as Israel has.
According to the Jerusalem Post, A year’s intel gathering yields ‘alpha hits’, IAF attacked 50 targets which included Hamas bases, training camps, headquarters and offices. “The goal: to strike at Hamas’s ability to fire rockets into Israel.”
By placing their rockets in densely populated areas Hamas in essence, hides behind women’s skirts and little children. This way when they are attacked the civilian casualties can be used for Hamas propaganda. Then the world sides with the aggressor, Hamas and in “lockstep” immediately condemns Israel for its actions. Why can every other country on the face of the globe defend themselves except, Israel?
In my mind Israel was justified and swift action against Hamas was long overdue.
The Democrat and Republicans In Name Only, (RINO)s, have lost touch with the American People. They have become the political elite and We the People have become "fly-over country." I am not a Nazi, a terrorist, a member of the KKK, a racist, or a member of an angry mob. I'm not a birther, teabagger, truther or astroturfer. I do, however believe in the original intent of the Founding Fathers, the United States Constituton and the rule of law. I believe that Government should serve the People, not the other way around. I’m an American and conservative to my very core.
