Huffin And Puffin Then Leavin The Debt Talks

Posted on July 13, 2011 | 1 comment

Judge for yourselves. Apparently, the debt talks haven’t gone too well today.

“Eric, don’t call my bluff,” the president said, warning Cantor that he would take his case “to the American people.” He told Cantor that no other president — not Ronald Reagan, the president said — would put up with the treatment he was getting from the House majority leader.

Democratic sources dispute Cantor’s version of Obama’s walk out, but all sides agree that the two had a blow up. The sources described Obama as “impassioned” but said he didn’t exactly storm out of the room.

But then, here’s the scoop on just how, exactly, the Treasury has to operate should the debt ceiling NOT be raised.

Yeah. Pass that around.

Voter ID in Rhode Island

Posted on July 13, 2011 | Leave a comment

As Gomer Pyle used to say, “Surprise, surprise, surprise!”

And what’s more, the perfect case for voter ID was put forth by this RI news article.

In a representative democracy, voting is sacred. It is how citizens can help change their government peacefully when they think it ceases to serve their interests and values. When the vote is corrupted by fraud, the legitimacy of the entire system is undermined.

That’s why Rhode Island should require that voters produce a photo ID at the polls.

“Voting should be at least as secure as renting a car, getting a library card or any of the other tasks that routinely require an ID,” said Secretary of State Ralph Mollis.

It would be nice, and proper, if more states would do the same (cough).

Don Surber has some more on this (h/t to you, Don). Be sure to read through the comments as well.

Even Cheap Is Too Expensive

Dollar stores are struggling.

A quote within the article:

“In other words, the economy is continuing to be worse, the Obama depression continues to explode,” he added.

Still think the economy is not tanking? Hhhmm, 1600?

House Reps Want Your Wages to Reduce Debt

Posted on July 10, 2011 | Leave a comment

These guys, specifically, signed on to a Bill HR 2411 – to have your employer (once you volunteer, of course) withhold a percentage of your salary for the purpose of reducing our nation’s debt. Now isn’t that – curmudgeonly of them?

From the Bill: Mr. CRAWFORD (for himself, Mr. TIBERI, Mr. FINCHER, Mr. LANDRY, Mr. DENHAM, Mr. DOLD, Mr. FLORES, Mr. GRIFFIN of Arkansas, Mr. AUSTIN SCOTT of Georgia, Mr. HUIZENGA of Michigan, Mr. PALAZZO, and Mr. GUINTA) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

At least I don’t see any names from Maryland here. And I had better not.

Don’t Trust Hoyer

Posted on July 6, 2011 | Leave a comment

Hoyer declined to outline what GOP concessions House Democrats would demand in return for their support, reiterating his past stipulation that everything needs to be on the table — including tax hikes and entitlement reform.

Other than that, Steny (D-MD) says he would help Republicans.

Really? He’s been quoted as saying that he will help in the upcoming Maryland re-districting in order to – take care of Andy Harris (R-MD) who, replaced Frank Kratovil (D-MD).

Our Founding Constitution In Danger

Posted on July 4, 2011 | Leave a comment

This is not new news, but this article might have some new bits of information within.

For those that have watched Glenn Beck, the progressives are pushing to alter the Constitution to incorporate a Second Bill of Rights. These are not the unalienable, nature’s God given rights – but ones “determined” by people (notice I am not even saying ‘government’ at this point). This is dangerous beyond imagination. For rights determined by man, can be later taken away, by man. And that, rings the death knell.

It is vital they be named.

Cass Sunstein, Lisa Brown, Eric Holder – all (and likely far more) operate within the Soros-funded American Constitution Society. Ring a bell?

If progressives manage to bring this about, it will be the beginning of the end.

For they know not what they do.

Stand up and be counted. Never give up, never give in. Remember November 2012. Now, more than ever.
