Are Republicans on the supercommittee about to agree on tax increases?

Here’s a must-read from the Wall Street Journal: To increase jobs, you need to increase economic freedom.

It is no surprise that the SEIU has already endorsed Obama and adopted their battle cry for 2012: “Do we want leaders who side with rich corporations, the 1% who are prospering, or leaders who side with us, the 99 percent?”

The South, once solidly Democratic, is more solidly Republican than ever after the 2011 elections.

Historically speaking, Barack Obama’s approval ratings are low compared to recent incumbent presidents.

America, in the view of Barack Obama, is not a happy place. Obama’s relentless reelection focus on America’s demons is a communications error that could haunt his bid for a second term.

The Treasury Department dramatically boosted its estimate of losses from its $85 billion auto industry bailout by more than $9 billion.

For the Occutards: A third of the people in the 1% in 2007 were no longer in the 1% in 2009.

Here’s the latest column from the Media Research Center’s Brent Bozell: NPR vs. 'Minstrel' Cain.

Splitting sharply along partisan lines, more Americans want to repeal ObamaCare than want to keep it.

General Electric appears to be one of China’s top sources of corporate tax revenue while paying no taxes in the United States.

With a new congressional insider trading scandal unfolding in Washington, another name has been added to the hit parade: U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).

The ObamaMedia wants to know if the Occupy movement is "at that scale" of the civil rights movement, and if the cause is "as important" as civil rights.

Are the tea partiers and the occutards one and the same?

The TSA is a top-heavy, intrusive bureaucracy that is ineffective in protecting the nation’s skies from terrorists.

The House is debating legislation that would make a state permit to carry a concealed firearm valid in almost every other state in the country.

We’ve figured out the problem with the GOP … “they hate so much.”

First Hawaii was in Asia. Now Obama doesn’t know what time zone he is in.

Is pizza a vegetable? It could be, according to the federal government.

They have nothing else to do but make up crimes. They want 90% of the people to go through the court system. Whether it's a jail term, probation (robbing you on a monthly basis), or fines (put up your hands!) the city needs your money. Tax dollars are dwindling and they won't go without.

I don't understand why countries aren't simply adopting the Israeli method of security screening used at Ben Gurion.

They have the best safety record in the world and are less intrusive while being 3x more efficient at moving passengers through than we are here.

Typical of government, you have a model of efficiency and efficacy but it's success must be ignored so that we may continue the pandering.

Drug Testing for Welfare Benefits

"So, should states require that applicants for, or recipients of, welfare benefits take a drug test?

From a libertarian standpoint, the answer is neither — no drug tests and no welfare benefits.

But first, as a practical matter, the proposal — at least in Florida — is absurd. One, there is no requirement that a recipient of cash assistance be tested again after his initial test. Someone could pass the test, be judged drug-free, and then use the money he receives for drugs throughout the 48 months he is allowed to receive TANF cash assistance. Two, there is nothing preventing a Florida recipient of cash assistance from using his money to buy alcohol, purchase pornography, procure a prostitute, or gamble it away at one of the Florida Indian casinos."

HAARP is the new weapon of choice.

Crazy Russian Threatens Secret Doomsday Machines

"Vladimir Volfovich Zhirinovsky (Russian: Влади́мир Во́льфович Жирино́вский; born 25 April 1946) is a Russian politician, colonel of the Russian Army, founder and the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR), Vice-Chairman of the State Duma, and a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The mere fear that there is a mole within an agency can set off a chain reaction and a hunt for that particular mole which can paralyze the agency for weeks and months and years even, in a search. The same thing is true about just the false scare of a threat of using some kind of a chemical weapon or a biological one. There are some reports, for example, that some countries have been trying to construct something like an Ebola Virus, and that would be a very dangerous phenomenon, to say the least. Alvin Toeffler has written about this in terms of some scientists in their laboratories trying to devise certain types of pathogens that would be ethnic specific so that they could just eliminate certain ethnic groups and races; and others are designing some sort of engineering, some sort of insects that can destroy specific crops. Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.

So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations. It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our efforts, and that's why this is so important."

He's got me nothing. I'm telling you what he said.

You don't want to take people at their word. Here you've got someone in the military of the 2nd largest nuclear power in the world saying they would be willing to use nukes in the region, yet despite what they are actually saying, you seem to think you know what they truly mean.

How is it that you do that?

If you were actually any good at it, there'd be a lot of money to be made at it. Since you're peddling tshirts, however, I'll bank on the fact that you're not.

Ron Paul just doesn't want us in foreign lands fighting undeclared wars paid for with borrowed tax payer dollars. He has no problem punishing the guilty. Ron Paul has identified the Neoconservatives as the enemy of this country. I just say we get tough on them instead of just slapping them on the wrist. I say we should make their punishment so severe that the Marxists will think twice about attempting another coup of our two party system. You know what they say about terrorists right? They only understand force. The terrorists are the PNAC Neocons. I say lets punish them forcefully.

=====================================================

ivaninatlanta , your words remind me of popular thoughts from only 70 years ago. They used to sound something like

The Fuehrer … has no problem punishing the guilty. The Fuehrer has identified the “undesirables” as the enemy of The Fatherland . I just say we get tough on them, like Auschwitz or Sobibor, instead of just slapping them on the wrist. I say we should make their punishment so severe that the Marxists will think twice about attempting another coup of our National Socialist system. You know what they say about Jews right? They only understand force. The terrorists are the Jews. I say lets punish them forcefully.

The PNAC Neocons committed 9/11 and blamed it on Al-Qaeda (Al-CIAda). They forced the world into a "war on terrorism" which has now lasted nearly a decade. Millions of people have been killed and/or displaced because of the agenda laid out prior to 9/11 by the PNAC Neocons. Using Gitmo to detain these Neocons is a great temporary measure until we can hold trials for them. Any Neocons that are on the run from the new authority should assume that we will use their own predator drones against them.

Your comparison fails because the PNAC Neocons deserve their fate.

For the Occutards: A third of the people in the 1% in 2007 were no longer in the 1% in 2009.

*************************

Nothing like leaving it to the Federal Reserve to tell us there's nothing to worry about and Boortz to pass it along as gospel. This "study" is as valid as the infamous Boortz defense of the Bush tax cuts where he looks only at the 18 month period of growth that followed them. From 07-09 there was plenty of volatility. I'm sure you could look at any SINGLE percentile and see similar changes.

What's important is the 1/3 that were replaced remained in the top ten percent -- the Fed study admits as much -- and you can bet the ones who replaced them came from the top ten percent themselves, not from the middle or lower class.

The impression Boortz and the Fed are trying to create that the top third are continuously replaced randomly simply isn't true.

The republicans better not agree to tax hikes. Spending has to be slashed first -- and I'm not talking about slowing the rate of increase! The best thing that can happen is for the unconstitutional supercommittee to deadlock and we get the forced cuts. Sad that defense will take the brunt of it, but it's a start. We can always add necessary defense funds in later budgets as we address the actual culprits, the size and scope of the federal government including entitlements and all manner of vote buying schemes.

We need to get back to the constraints on federal spending the founders intended. GENERAL welfare means any project backed with federal money should benefit ALL americans (like the interstate system) not just one state or city's personal pet project. Confiscating money from citizens in New Mexico to fund some project only Missouri will benefit from is unconstitutional and it opens the doors for all manner of pork and vote buying with other people's money.

I'm not even sure why AstroCreep is even arguing at all. Nukes are old technology. Noone wants to use them because they all have radiological signatures built into them and any nation on the Earth could trace the weapon back to its source. The new bad boys on the block are the electromagnetic scalar weapons. It is the new weapon of choice because world leaders can blame the damage they cause on mother nature. Hell with these weapons they can claim God is on their side and then "prove it".

to ivan,

poor, poor nuclear bombs. i bet they get lonely knowing that war has passed them by. i bet they get lonely because people don't fear them as much as they used to. this is a war for drones. we got a monopoly on that, but not for long. wait until our enemies get there own drones. it will happen. the next war may be computer viruses (like Stuxnet). we got a monopoly on that, but not for long. wake until your power goes off because of a virus implanted at your local power supplier because a foreign power wanted to reply in kind.

I am more worried about food and water being used as a weapon either by creating famines or by spiking the food and water with harmful substances. I am worried that they will create a famine and then give the people spiked food and water that is meant to hurt them. If they do it right they can kill a great number of people this way. It is kinda like poisoning a water hole. The deer will just keep drinking the water until the last deer is dead.

HAARP is the replacement to the nuclear bomb. It is the perfect weapon. It has the potential to destroy literally any target on the planet including targets underneath the soil and inside of mountains. It has the ability to force people away from coastlines with tsunamis prior to moving in with an invasion force. It has the ability to cause droughts and floods. In the case of Japan it can be used to cause radiological disasters like Fukushima when the finance ministers balk at taking on US debt obligations. It has the ability to weaken the Earth's magnetic field to the point where the Sun's radiation can hit a city directly causing catastrophic damage over a small area. They have the ability to hit vast populated areas with HAARP causing a incredible amount of discomfort and nausea. The best part is that they can blame everything on mother nature and get away with it.

Electromagnetic Rail Gun from the United States Navy

Many of these began as secret programs within Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah. Currently the Navy is working with an "unnamed corporate entity" on developing a few energy based weapons at this location. There are projects going on with the goal of producing smaller HAARP-like antenna arrays even mobile units. They have been working on ground based lasers and particle beam weapons to shoot down satellites and pretty much anything else in the sky. There is a silent Cold War brewing right now. The Chinese have been doing some interesting things out in their deserts as well. I find it funny that China has recently been "showing" their hand with their F-22 clone. The mainstream has no idea what kind of weapons these maniacs might whip out in desperation.

FYI Here are some tools you'll find around the shop and their common uses.

DRILL PRESS : A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat

metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and

flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which

you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

WIRE WHEEL : Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light . Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh sh--!'

BELT SANDER : An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor

touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.

BAND SAW : A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminium sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.

TABLE SAW : A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.

TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST : A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.

STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER : A tool for opening paint cans Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws while butchering your palms.

HAMMER : Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.

HOSE CUTTER : A tool used to make hoses too short.

OXYACETYLENE TORCH : Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.

SON-OF-A-B***CH TOOL : (A personal favourite!) Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'Son of a B**CH! ' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need
