Radio chip coming soon to your driver's license?

Allows government to track your attendance at events ..... rallies, demonstrations, gun shows ????
Privacy advocates are issuing warnings about a new radio chip plan that ultimately could provide electronic identification for every adult in the U.S. and allow agents to compile attendance lists at anti-government rallies simply by walking through the assembly.

Limbaugh's CPAC Keynote Speech

This was a GREAT speech tonight. Here it is in two parts. Total length about 1 1/2 hours.

Obama Declares War on Investors, Entrepreneurs, Businesses, And More

"..... be very clear on the economics of President Obama’s State of the Union speech and his budget.

He is declaring war on investors, entrepreneurs, small businesses, large corporations, and private-equity and venture-capital funds."

Obama's New Commerce Secretary Nominee: Not So "Squeaky Clean"

Liberal media outlets are doing their best to boost former Washington Gov. Gary Locke, President Obama's third pick for the beleaguered Commerce Secretary job. But repeating the Mr. Clean claim doesn't make it so. Those in his home state who know Locke best paint a far grimier picture of a crony politician with a serial habit of skirting campaign finance laws and conflict-of-interest rules.

Obama's Intelligence Choice

The Wall Street Journal reports: "..... those complaining loudest about politicized intelligence have indeed placed a China-coddling Israel basher in charge of drafting the most important analyses prepared by the U.S. government, it is quite a spectacle. The problem is not that Mr. Freeman will shade National Intelligence Estimates to suit the administration's political views. The far more serious danger is that he will steer them to reflect his own outlandish perspectives and prejudices."

Dawn Johnsen, radically disingenuous

Here is what an appointee to Obama's Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel had to say in a brief she once wrote to the Supreme Court. In her appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday she denied ever making such statements.

"Statutes that curtail [a woman's] abortion choice are disturbingly suggestive of involuntary servitude, prohibited by the Thirteenth Amendment, in that forced pregnancy requires a woman to provide continuous physical service to the fetus in order to further the state's asserted interest. ....... The woman is constantly aware for nine months that her body is not wholly her own: the state has conscripted her body for its own ends. Thus, abortion restrictions "reduce pregnant women to no more than fetal containers." "

This is the far out radicalism which surrounds Obama!

Quantifying Risk Under the Watchful Eye of Government

"The failure of credit rating agencies to accurately assess the risk of default is an important aspect of the history of the current crisis. If this failure was the result of a reasonable fear of antagonizing a nearly all-powerful Congress, it is one more way in which misguided government policy and excessive government power created the perfect storm that we are now experiencing."

Jewish Leaders Blast Clinton Over Israel Criticism

"Clinton's decision to hammer Israel comes as the Clintons and President Barack Obama are planning to give the Palestinians $900 million toward the rebuilding of Gaza in the wake of the Israeli offensive that was sparked by Hamas rocket fire."

Read about the :

Hamas Stimulus Plan

It’s Obama spreading panic

Why does Obama preach gloom and doom? Because he is so anxious to cram through every last spending bill, tax increase on the so-called rich, new government regulation, and expansion of healthcare entitlement that he must preserve the atmosphere of crisis as a political necessity. Only by keeping us in a state of panic can he induce us to vote for trillion-dollar deficits and spending packages that send our national debt soaring.

Obama's Budget: The Beginning of the End?

The 2% Illusion

A tax policy that confiscated 100% of the taxable income of everyone in America earning over $500,000 in 2006 would only have given Congress an extra $1.3 trillion in revenue. That's less than half the 2006 federal budget of $2.7 trillion and looks tiny compared to the more than $4 trillion Congress will spend in fiscal 2010. Even taking every taxable "dime" of everyone earning more than $75,000 in 2006 would have barely yielded enough to cover that $4 trillion. (The year 2006 is used in this analysis because that is the most recent year for which the relevant tax data is available)

Green Scheme Is a Lobbyists’ Dream

"..... means that Washington can now boast more than four climate lobbyists for every member of Congress.”

In President's Budget Plan, Broad Agenda and a Few Gaps

President Obama's spending plan is built on the assumption that lawmakers can resolve some hugely contentious issues -- and it relies on a few well-worn budget tricks. ....... Obama told Congress on Tuesday that his budget team has "already identified $2 trillion in savings" to help tame record budget deficits, about half of those "savings" are actually tax increases, administration officials said.

'Consensus' on global warming collapsing

Japanese scientists have made a dramatic break with the UN and Western-backed hypothesis of climate change in a new report from its Energy Commission.

Who is Pulling Geithner’s Strings?

The conclusion has to be that Geithner doesn’t know how his “stability” plan will work out in practice because he’s not yet sure what China and other global players are going to do. Our fate lies in their hands, signaling desperate times for our nation.

Obama speaks of a possible catastrophe but he isn’t telling the American people the brutal truth at his carefully orchestrated town hall meetings. His prescription is more debt and spending―the same policies that brought us to this precipice. He can only succeed, at least in the sense of getting foreign credit to pay for this spending spree, if the Communist Chinese and the rich Arabs agree.

Obama’s housing entitlement campaign & ACORN’s civil disobedience mob

ACORN racketeers have waited three decades for this moment in the sun. And as President Obama promised ACORN members at a forum in December 2007, “We’re going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda, we’re gonna be having meetings all across the country…so that you have input into the agenda.”

The moment is nigh. Prepare for lawlessness.

Here's Why Some States are Balking

Several Republican Governors are not going to take "Stimulus" money. One cogent reason is that the bill requires states to make permanent changes in their laws to spend the federal money. For example Gov. Jindal of Louisiana said he is rejecting $100 million in unemployment assistance in the stimulus plan because it would force the state to raise business taxes to pay for the extra aid once the federal dollars run out.

Obama's Auto Task Force drive Foreign made cars!!!

The Rush to Wait

The big story last week was the incredible Congressional rush to pass a bill that was more than a thousand pages long in just two days-- after which it sat on the President's desk for three days while the Obamas were away on a holiday.

The Hell With Our Constitution

Should Washington be guided by the Constitution?

The Audacity of the Obamas

The Obama's have never truly experienced hard work despite their rhetoric requiring the citizens of the country to prepare themselves for years of it (someone has to earn a living and pay taxes so that the Obamas will be able to vacation at whim and elaborately celebrate superfluous holidays).

The Cloward/Piven Strategy of Economic Recovery

Is Obama REALLY out to sow dissatisfaction and distrust to such an extent that our welfare state COLLAPSES ... resulting in revolts and "justification" for creating a Socialist state?

Cloward & Pliven write ".... activists should work to sabotage and destroy the welfare system; the collapse of the welfare state would ignite a political and financial crisis that would rock the nation..." This strategy explains Rahm Emanuel's ominous statement, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."

The Real State of the Union

Randall Hoven describes in simple terms the economic state of the union. "Overall, 2007 was a pretty good year, budget-wise. Since World War II, income has been around 18% of GDP. For the last 25 years in particular (1983-2007), it averaged 18.3%. So 2007's 18.8% was in fact a bit above average. (Note to liberals: tax rate cuts were not the problem."

"
That was the good news -- 2007. It has been all downhill since. We are now talking in units of trillions of dollars. A trillion dollar bailout. A trillion dollar stimulus. A trillion dollar deficit. We are looking at trillion dollar deficits in both 2008 and 2009"

Federal obligations exceed world GDP

Does $65.5 trillion terrify anyone yet?

"Truthfully, there is no Social Security 'lock-box.' There are no funds held in reserve today for Social Security and Medicare obligations that are earned each year. It's only a matter of time until the public realizes that the government is truly bankrupt and no taxes are being held in reserve to pay in the future the Social Security and Medicare benefits taxpayers are earning today."

Wow !! Do you get a tax credit?????

The revised "stimulus" bill gives middle and low income workers a $400 tax credit. Let's see .... that's about $7.70 each week. DON'T SPEND IT ALL IN ONE PLACE ...... on the other hand, you had better spend it when you get it because down the road, when the inflation kicks in as a result of printing all those TRILLIONS of new dollar bills, that $7 might buy you a cup of coffee.

UNBELIEVABLE -- Democratic Leadership Requires Stimulus Job Access for Illegal Aliens -- Secret Negotiations

Goodbye, America! It Was Fun While It Lasted

With the stimulus bill, liberals plan to move unfirable government workers into every activity in America, where they will superintend all aspects of our lives.

Republicans Shut Out of Stimulus Conference Negotiations

Republicans, except for RINOs Collins & Snowe, were excluded from final negotiations between House & Senate on this bill. So much for "BI-PARTISANSHIP" !!!! See more at:

Congressman Gives Speech in Front of Pelosi's Office: 'There Are More Shady Deals Going on Behind Closed Doors'

Obama promised in his campaign to end secret negotiations by Congress behind closed doors. .......

"End the Practice of Writing Legislation Behind Closed Doors: As president, Barack Obama will restore the American people's trust in their government by making government more open and transparent. Obama will work to reform congressional rules to require all legislative sessions, including committee mark-ups and conference committees, to be conducted in public. By making these practices public, the American people will be able to hold their leaders accountable for wasteful spending and lawmakers won't be able to slip favors for lobbyists into bills at the last minute."

OBAMA: SAVE OR CREATE 3 - 4 Million Jobs

Have you noticed how the salesmen for Obama's stimulus plan talk about "saving or creating" 4 million jobs? That's a real clever piece of c-y-a, insurance gamesmanship. A few years from now (e.g. during the 2012 campaign) even if the nation's unemployment remains the same as it is now, they can still claim "look at all the jobs we SAVED" !

There is no way to measure "jobs saved".

If you are elderly (over 65 ?) READ THIS, government will now be calculating what your life is worth.

UNDERCOVER AT WAL-MART, THE HEARTLAND SUPERSTORE THAT MAY SAVE THE ECONOMY

The blunt tools of legislation or union power can force a corporation to pay higher wages, but if employees don't create an equal amount of additional value, there's no net gain. All other factors remaining equal, the store will have to charge higher prices for its merchandise, and its competitive position will suffer.

This is Economics 101, but no one wants to believe it, because it tells us that a legislative or unionized quick-fix is not going to work in the long term. If you want people to be wealthier, they have to create additional wealth.

How much is $1 TRILLION ?

If you started a business on the day Jesus was born, and you made $1 Million each and every day ...... it would not be until the year 2737 that you would have made $1 Trillion.

If you collected $100 from EVERY PERSON ON THE EARTH you would be only two-thirds of the way to having $1 Trillion.

The highest paid CEO in the U.S., Oracle's Larry Ellison making $192.9 million total compensation in 2007, would have to earn that for the next 5,184 years to make $1 Trillion.

Our government will either borrow, print or tax us this amount. How is it possible that our children, grand children and great grandchildren can EVER pay off this amount ??

Welfare Spendathon: House Stimulus Bill Will Cost Taxpayers $787 Billion in New Welfare Spending

The recently passed U.S. House of Representatives stimulus bill contains $816 billion in new spending and tax cuts. Of this sum, $264 billion (32 percent) is new means-tested welfare spending.

The bill sets in motion another $523 billion in new welfare spending that is hidden by budgetary gimmicks. If the bill is enacted, the total 10-year extra welfare cost is likely to be $787 billion.

Biden Pledges Talks with Iran in Munich Speech

Iran’s leaders have been holding back from direct talks with the U.S. as officials and advisers to the Obama administration “negotiate with themselves in public,” said Sardar Haddad, a U.S.-based Iranian dissident.

“Why should they agree to anything when they can sit back and watch the U.S. negotiate a better deal for them on television?” he told Newsmax.

Beating Up On Barack

Iran's leaders continue to display their contempt for Barack Obama, whom they evidently regard as weak. It isn't just Ahmadinejad; Iran's leadership is unified in treating Obama with the disdain that he invited by impugning his own country's past policies in the region on Al-Arabiya television.
