"No Political Santa Claus

By the time the Dems finish us off in '08 and it's time to elect a new president I wish Rudi Giuliani would run on the Libertarian or Independent ticket. Many far right conservatives don't care for him due to his views on certain issues, but I personally feel he could be a uniting force for people disenchanted with extremes in both parties.

BTW in my world Herman Cain rocks!! Big Grin

"No Political Santa Claus

By Herman Cain

Source Townhall.com

"If you think Santa Claus came early this year by delivering liberal majorities in the House and Senate, you had better check your stocking again. Liberals and the political parties will continue to play us like the kid who asked Santa for a pony, but woke up Christmas morning to find a big box of horse manure.

At first blush, Congressman Charlie Rangel's (D-NY) comments last week about Mississippi are merely the latest exposé of Northeast limousine liberal elitism, similar to Senator John Kerry's (D-MA) remarks before the election disparaging our brave military personnel. Rangel was quoted in the New York Times saying, "Mississippi gets more than their fair share back in federal money, but who the hell wants to live in Mississippi?"

Rangel's quote not only describes many liberals' contemptuous view of Middle America, but also illustrates how liberals, regardless of party affiliation, view the role of federal government. Peel back Rangel's rhetorical onion further, and you can see the degenerative influence of the political parties on Congress' ability to solve our most serious fiscal crises.

The coming Senate Democratic majority means that Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) will likely become the next chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Sen. Byrd has sat on the Appropriations Committee since 1959. Over 30 federal projects in Sen. Byrd's home state bear his name. During a March 15, 2001 speech on the Senate floor, Byrd stated, "One man's pork is another man's job. Pork has been good investment in West Virginia. You can look around and see what I've done."

Not that anyone will notice much change between Byrd and Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK), the current Senate Appropriations chairman. Stevens' home state of Alaska leads the nation in receipt of taxpayer dollars for earmarked pork projects. Alaskans per capita receive more than $611 of our money for earmarked appropriations. The national average is $19 per capita.

In the House, Transportation Committee chairman Rep. Don Young (R-AK) doesn't seem too upset about ceding the majority to the Democrats. Young, architect of the bill to fund the infamous Bridge to Nowhere, will likely hand his golden gavel to Rep. James Oberstar (D-MN). According to the Anchorage Daily News, Young "changed the way funds were allocated to increase the amount controlled by minority Democrats to 45 percent." Young, who will remain on the committee as ranking minority member, claims Oberstar told him, "I'll treat you as good as you treated me, and that was great." Bipartisanship - it's a beautiful thing.

The liberals' goal is not to shrink the growth of government, rein in Social Security and Medicare entitlement spending, tax us less or allow Americans to pursue their own economic freedom. Rather, their clear objective is redistribution of tax receipts to potential voters in the form of tax credits, earmark - spending projects and social engineering programs.

The two major political parties are attempting to convince voters that ideology and policy prescriptions are no longer relevant. Election contests are no longer a forum to discuss individual candidates' solutions to the big issues of the day. Instead, candidates receive their talking points from the party leaders, reducing the election and public policy process to little more than a popularity contest. We the voters are rendered tailgaters in the parking lot, waving our red or blue flags in support of our favorite team.

It is little wonder policy discourse was noticeably absent throughout the 2006 election season. The Democratic strategy was to make the House and Senate elections a national referendum on President Bush and his oversight of the war in Iraq. Republicans played right into the Democrats' hands. Few Republican candidates discussed their plans to restructure Social Security, fight the global war on Islamic terrorism, simplify the tax code or cut federal spending. Instead, the Republican strategy was to scare their base to the voting booth with the threat of a "Speaker Pelosi." Hope and optimism, not fear, motivate and inspire voters.

We arrived at this bipartisan assault on common sense because most members of the House and Senate are in permanent campaign mode. Save a handful of principled conservatives in both chambers, liberals in both parties long ago abandoned their oath to support and defend the Constitution.

Government cannot and will not solve our problems or the problems Congress itself created. Despite the countless platitudes toward bipartisanship, the hard work of solving the hard problems will remain in two years for a new president and a new Congress.

Congressman Rangel's comments should offend not just Mississippians, but any American concerned about the future of a political system that places pork over fiscal discipline and party over policy. "

"Republicans Propose Halting Stem Cell Research Until Osama Bin-Laden

Credit to FreeRepublic for heads up on this gem.

"Republicans Propose Halting Stem Cell Research Until Osama Bin-Laden Dies From Whatever Disease with Which He is Afflicted

Source UnderneathPolitics.com

"Washington – Adding a further spark to the debate about stem cell research, Republicans have proposed halting the practice until it is confirmed that Osama Bin Laden has died from whatever disease with which he is infested, Underneath Politics has learned.

“There have been multiple reports that Osama Bin Laden is sick and possibly even on his death bed,” White House Spokesman Tony Snow told reporters. “Why would we want to use stem cell research to cure his disease so he can go on terrorizing the world for many years to come?”

Democratic Pundit Lanny Davis has criticized the move, saying it is just a way for Republicans to appeal to their base after the midterm election debacle. “They’ll stop at nothing to end stem cell research,” he said. “Using the hope that ending the practice could possibly lead to the death of Osama Bin Laden is plain and simply dirty politics,” Mr. Davis said.

However Conservatives point to the Democrats opposition to letting Bin Laden die as another example of their inability to be strong in regards to the war on terror. “All the Democrats have to do is not proceed with stem cell research and the monster dies,” Mr. Snow said. “But they can’t even do that. I seriously doubt Democrats will go hunt down Bin Laden now that they are in charge, therefore letting him die is our only option. Unfortunately, through stem cell research, those on the left will keep him alive as long as possible.”

New Democratic Majority leader Nancy Pelosi, who is considered farther to the left than most of her colleagues, wants to take it one step further. “Hopefully, through stem cell research, we will be able to find a cure for hangings and death by firing squad so Saddam Hussein can be cured of however we murder him and rule Iraq with an iron fist for many years to come, Praise Allah,” Congresswoman Pelosi said."

What Happened?

Came in email this morning.

Time for Fair Tax which totally eliminates all federal payroll taxes and allows you t bring home all of your paycheck.

Prices drop because there are no embedded taxes and cost of compliance .... you pay the same for goods at checkout and you don't have to pay to have your taxes done by April 15th.

Best part is ILLEGALS ARE PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE INTO THE TAX SYSTEM.

What Happened?

At first I thought this was funny...then I realized the awful truth of it.
Be sure to read all the way to the end!

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries, then
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers,
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.

Put these words
upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me
to my doom..."

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

COMMENTS: Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago,
and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class
in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What happened?
And I still have to "press 1" for English
I hope this goes around the world 10 times

"What do Islamist terrorists want?

Follow up to a point made by Floridian on another blog post.

For more in depth reading go to http://www.danielpipes.org/ http://frontpagemag.com/ and http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/

"What do Islamist terrorists want?

"The answer should be obvious, but it is not.

by Daniel Pipes

Source DanielPipes.org

"A generation ago, terrorists did make clear their wishes. Upon hijacking three airliners in September 1970, for example, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine demanded, with success, the release of Arab terrorists imprisoned in Britain, Switzerland, and West Germany. Upon attacking the B'nai B'rith headquarters and two other Washington, D.C. buildings in 1977, a Hanafi Muslim group demanded the canceling of a feature movie, Mohammad, Messenger of God," $750 (as reimbursement for a fine), the turning over of the five men who had massacred the Hanafi leader's family, plus the killer of Malcolm X.

Such "non-negotiable demands" led to wrenching hostage dramas and attendant policy dilemmas. "We will never negotiate with terrorists," the policymakers declared "Give them Hawaii but get my husband back," pleaded the hostages' wives.

Those days are so remote and their terminology so forgotten that even President Bush now speaks of "non-negotiable demands" (in his case, concerning human dignity), forgetting the deadly origins of this phrase.

Most anti-Western terrorist attacks these days are perpetrated without demands being enunciated. Bombs go off, planes get hijacked and crashed into buildings, hotels collapse. The dead are counted. Detectives trace back the perpetrators' identities. Shadowy websites make post-hoc unauthenticated claims.

But the reasons for the violence go unexplained. Analysts, including myself, are left speculating about motives. These can relate to terrorists' personal grievances based in poverty, prejudice, or cultural alienation. Alternately, an intention to change international policy can be seen as a motive: pulling "a Madrid" and getting governments to withdraw their troops from Iraq; convincing Americans to leave Saudi Arabia; ending American support for Israel; pressuring New Delhi to cede control of all Kashmir.

Any of these motives could have contributed to the violence; as London's Daily Telegraph puts it, problems in Iraq and Afghanistan each added "a new pebble to the mountain of grievances that militant fanatics have erected." Yet neither is decisive to giving up one's life for the sake of killing others.

In nearly all cases, the jihadi terrorists have a patently self-evident ambition: to establish a world dominated by Muslims, Islam, and Islamic law, the Shari'a. Or, again to cite the Daily Telegraph, their "real project is the extension of the Islamic territory across the globe, and the establishment of a worldwide ‘caliphate' founded on Shari'a law."

Terrorists openly declare this goal. The Islamists who assassinated Anwar el-Sadat in 1981 decorated their holding cages with banners proclaiming the "caliphate or death." A biography of one of the most influential Islamist thinkers of recent times and an influence on Osama bin Laden, Abdullah Azzam declares that his life "revolved around a single goal, namely the establishment of Allah's Rule on earth" and restoring the caliphate.

Bin Laden himself spoke of ensuring that "the pious caliphate will start from Afghanistan." His chief deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, also dreamed of re-establishing the caliphate, for then, he wrote, "history would make a new turn, God willing, in the opposite direction against the empire of the United States and the world's Jewish government." Another Al-Qaeda leader, Fazlur Rehman Khalil, publishes a magazine that has declared "Due to the blessings of jihad, America's countdown has begun. It will declare defeat soon," to be followed by the creation of a caliphate.

Or, as Mohammed Bouyeri wrote in the note he attached to the corpse of Theo van Gogh, the Dutch filmmaker he had just assassinated, "Islam will be victorious through the blood of martyrs who spread its light in every dark corner of this earth."

Interestingly, van Gogh's murderer was frustrated by the mistaken motives attributed to him, insisting at his trial: "I did what I did purely out of my beliefs. I want you to know that I acted out of conviction and not that I took his life because he was Dutch or because I was Moroccan and felt insulted."

Although terrorists state their jihadi motives loudly and clearly, Westerners and Muslims alike too often fail to hear them. Islamic organizations, Canadian author Irshad Manji observes, pretend that "Islam is an innocent bystander in today's terrorism."

What the terrorists want is abundantly clear. It requires monumental denial not to acknowledge it, but we Westerners have risen to the challenge."

....."Nobel Winner: Fight Global Warming, Plant a Billion Trees

Wow, just what I've said here on my blog before at least a couple of times. A planting aid, hydro-gel polymer mixed into the soil absorbs water and holds it to the roots of seedlings while they become established. I use it even with house plants and it does work.

Now that a Nobel Prize winner says it perhaps people will actually do it.

"Kenyan Nobel Winner: Fight Global Warming, Plant a Billion Trees
Wednesday, November 08, 2006
FoxNews

Excerpt:

NAIROBI, Kenya — A Kenyan environmentalist and Nobel Peace Prize winner called on people around the world to plant 1 billion trees in the next year, saying Wednesday the effort is a way ordinary citizens can fight global warming.

Wangari Maathai, who in 2004 became the first black African woman to win a Nobel in any category, urged participants to ensure the trees thrive long after they are planted.

"It's one thing to plant a tree, it's another to make it survive," said Maathai, who founded Kenya's Green Party in 1987 and focused on planting trees to address the wood fuel crisis here.

Maathai said the campaign is meant to inspire ordinary citizens to help the environment.

"This something that anybody can do," Maathai said Wednesday at the U.N. conference on climate change, which has drawn delegates from more than 100 countries to Kenya.

Scientists blame the past century's 1-degree rise in average global temperatures at least in part on the accumulation of carbon dioxide, methane and other heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere — byproducts of power plants, automobiles and other fossil fuel burners. "

"LONDON (AFP) - Global finance markets have wobbled on fears that a Democrat victory in the US Congressional elections could prompt less market-friendly policies in the world's biggest economy.

Investors watched nervously as jubilant Democrats seized power in the US House of Representatives for the first time since 1994 and edged closer to taking the Senate, pushing European and Asian equities lower and weighing also on the dollar.

European indices eased off fresh five-year highs struck the previous day, while Japanese shares tumbled by more than one percent, as investors also feared that a split in power in Washington would create legislative gridlock.

"The European market started slipping lower (on Wednesday) with the Democrats taking power from the Republicans, traditionally thought of as more business friendly," said Michael Davies, an analyst with the Sucden brokerage firm in London. "...........

"Meet the New Speaker

Live links. Just a little background.

"Meet the New Speaker

By Joseph Farah

Source World Net Daily.com

"Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the House minority leader certain to become the next speaker of the House, served for years on the executive committee of the socialist-leaning Progressive Caucus, a bloc of about 60 votes or nearly 30 percent of the minority vote in the lower chamber.

Until 1999, the website of the Progressive Caucus was hosted by the Democratic Socialists of America. Following an expose of the link between the two organizations in WorldNetDaily, ( http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=14542 ) the Progressive Caucus established its own website under the auspices of Congress. Another officer of the Progressive Caucus, and one of its guiding lights, is avowed socialist Rep. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent.

The Democratic Socialists of America's chief organizing goal is to work within the Democratic Party and remove the stigma attached to "socialism" in the eyes of most Americans.

(Story continues below)

"Stress our Democratic Party strategy and electoral work," explains an organizing document of the DSA. "The Democratic Party is something the public understands, and association with it takes the edge off. Stressing our Democratic Party work will establish some distance from the radical subculture and help integrate you to the milieu of the young liberals."

Nevertheless, the goal of the Democratic Socialists of America has never been deeply hidden. Prior to the cleanup of its website in 1999, the DSA included a song list featuring "The Internationale," the worldwide anthem of communism and socialism. Another song on the site was "Red Revolution" sung to the tune of "Red Robin." The lyrics went: "When the Red Revolution brings its solution along, along, there'll be no more lootin' when we start shootin' that Wall Street throng. ..." Another song removed after WorldNetDaily's expose was "Are You Sleeping, Bourgeoisie?" The lyrics went: "Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping? Bourgeoisie, Bourgeoisie. And when the revolution comes, We'll kill you all with knives and guns, Bourgeoisie, Bourgeoisie."

In the last several years, the Progressive Caucus has been careful to moderate its image for mainstream consumption.

"The members of the Progressive Caucus share a common belief in the principles of social and economic justice, non-discrimination and tolerance in America and in our relationships with other countries," the group's statement of purpose explains.

Most of the members of the Progressive Caucus, including Pelosi, opposed authorizing the war on Iraq.

Pelosi represents a liberal congressional district, taking in most of San Francisco. Her votes against the resolution authorizing the use of force in Iraq and in support of such domestic initiatives as needle exchange programs for AIDS sufferers may not be far out of step with her district constituency. But some suggest the nation's pulse may be another matter.

Pelosi was 47 before she won her first election, after raising five children with her businessman husband, Paul. But she has been involved in politics all her life. Her father was a New Deal congressman from Maryland and later the mayor of Baltimore. Her brother also served as Baltimore's mayor. She was hand-picked to run for Congress by the dying Rep. Sala Burton, whose seat Pelosi won in a special election in 1987.

She has never lost an election. "

"Dirty Laundry (lyrics)

Great song ..... nails it.

"Dirty Laundry

lyrics by Don Henley

"I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I dont have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
Its interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You dont really need to find out whats going on
You dont really want to know just how far its gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre stiff
Kick em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybodys pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When its said and done we havent told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry! "

"Behind the call for Rumsfeld's head

I smelled a decomposing rat and found it.

"Behind the call for Rumsfeld's head
Military Times editor accused of 'treason' at Stars & Stripes

Source World Net Daily

WASHINGTON – It makes for powerful imagery – an editorial appearing in the Army Times, the Navy Times, the Marine Times and the Air Force Times calling for the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

Many assume these publications are official or semi-official periodicals of the military branches, while they are actually under the same ownership as USA Today and under the management of an editor who has had his share of run-ins with the U.S. military in the past.

White House spokesman Tony Snow said the president has shrugged off an editorial by the Military Times Media Group to fire Rumsfeld. Bush feels it is merely "grandstanding," he added. The editorial says Rumsfeld has "lost credibility" with top officers.

Snow called the editorial "a caricature" and a "shabby piece of work" filled with inaccuracies. He said it implied the administration's made nothing but "rosy" predictions about Iraq. Snow said that isn't true, leading the president to "shrug it off."

Shortly after Gannett bought the papers in 1997, the media giant installed as editor Robert Hodierne. He is best known for teaming up in 1969 with then-Associated Press reporter Peter Arnett in Vietnam to bring attention to a small group of American soldiers who refused to fight.

As he tells the story himself: "During that late August battle, A.P. reporter Peter Arnett and photographer Horst Faas filed a story about five G.I.s who, for a brief time, refused to fight. A few days later I arrived at the battle to write stories and shoot photos for Pacific Stars & Stripes.

"The story and photos that follow enraged the top brass in the Army. Its chief spokesman, Col. James Campbell, calling Stripes 'the Hanoi Herald,' said my writing gave aid and comfort to the enemy, adding, 'such stories do not border on treason, they are treason.'"

The editorials were timed to come out in all four publications simultaneously today – the final Sunday before the midterm congressional elections.

Video "Obsession" full version

Obsession video was yanked from Google videos shortly after I posted it. Explains fully and graphically by people who are experts in the Middle East exactly what radical Islam's intentions are. Also shows some subtitled speeches given by clerics spewing lies, inciting hatred toward anyone not of their belief calling for death to the US.

It's worth anyone's time no matter how busy your schedule to view it in its entirety to get a graphic picture of who the enemy is and exactly how much evil is embodied within a totalitarian political system carefully cloaked as "religion" ... which is one reason we in the west have trouble wrapping our minds around it.

It's virtually impossible to fathom evil which all encompassing and there is nothing in recent history which can equate to it except Hitler's Nazis from which radical Islam sprang. Don't believe me? Do a search on Banna Nazi and see what you find.

"Cranking Up The Voter Fraud Outcry

Boortz discussing the 2000 presidential election said to the effect..... at 7 PM Eastern time the MSM announced that George Bush had won the election. That was 7 PM in eastern Florida. There was a military base (can't remember which one) in the pan handle where people were lined up to vote and when they heard that announcement by the all knowing news services, went home and did not cast their ballots ...... why because Bush had already won and their votes were not needed.

However, Neal said he spoke directly with the person in charge of voting on that base and was told that due to the announcement Bush had won, at least 10,000 votes from that base which could have counted ..... did in fact not vote which would have removed all doubt about the results.

Moral of the story don't believe anything the Lamestream Media says without checking it and rechecking it for yourself.

___________

Oh yeah and to get an early jump on a Democratic talking point ...........

"CRANKING UP THE VOTER FRAUD OUTCRY

"There seems to be a slight change in the fortunes for the Democrats in the last day or so. Even Dick Morris, who was predicting a blow-out of the Republicans last week, is starting to hedge his bets.

Well ... if the Democrats fail to at least win control of the House in two weeks, they're certainly going to need an excuse. They can't simply admit that they had no agenda that truly appealed to the American people.

So ... why not get a head start on the excuse-making? How about voter fraud! That's it! They'll claim that the voting machines in key House races were all rigged! Someone, probably Karl Rove, hacked into the voting machines and threw the whole election to the Republicans?

Original? Not really. Democrats have used the voter fraud excuse in the last three elections. In the final analysis it may be that, or admit you're just not all that appealing any more. "
