The list of tax increases under the Obama Health Care Plane is long as the American for Tax Reform website shows. So much for the pledge of no taxes on those making under $150,000 per year. The graduated fines are interesting. The penalties are now tied to income? Photo Credit: Chuck Kennedy, Official White House […]

The Tuscon… uh… Memorial?
After watching Obama (34 minutes) and the rest of the Tuscon Memorial Program early this morning, I also watched Bill Clinton’s speech (9 minutes) from the Oklahoma Memorial and George Bush’s remarks (6 minutes) at Virgina Tech. There is a very, very sharp contrast in the tone and content of yesterday’s service and the remarks […]
The President Sets the Tone for the Country
Obama admonished everyone to stop trying to blame particular people for the shooting. Next one to do it publicly, should get a major slap down from the leaders. Imagine the GOP and DEM Senate Leaders standing together at the podium reprimanding one of their own in a meaningful way. Doubt it. Some members of the […]
It Must Be the Botox That Keeps Pelosi Smiling
How can this woman say the things she does with a straight face? She is proud of her accomplishments as Speaker? She racked up $5.34 Trillion in deficits under her watch. That’s more than the rest of the Speakers combined!!! Let’s not forget what she said in 2007 when she took over as Speaker of […]
The DEM Mentality and Your Money…
The New York Times highlights the chasm between GOP and DEM mentality. The core difference between the GOP and the DEM parties can be summed up simply. The GOP believes your income is yours and some is needed to pay for limited government. The DEM leadership believes every dollar is the government’s first and you […]
If the President Really Wants to Set a Good Example
Forget calling Michael Vick. Call the people that are rehabilitating the dogs he abused, Mr. President. They are waiting to hear from YOU!!! …all of us here at Best Friends are waiting for a call from the White House to congratulate us for giving Vick’s dogs a second chance. I’m quite sure that the other […]
“No Refusal” DUI Check Points Unconstitutional?
Don’t get me wrong about drunk drivers – BAD, BAD, BAD!!! But doesn’t a driver have a right to counsel? And what if you still refuse? It means if you refuse a breath test during a traffic stop, a judge is on site, and issues a warrant that allows police to perform a mandatory […]
Where is Outrage over Gas Prices?
Seems you could not hear enough about the rising cost of fuel when George W. Bush was in office. When the price was $1.73 all hell broke loose on Capital Hill. Heads needed to roll. Profits needed to be confiscated. Gasoline prices at the pumps have topped $3.00 per gallon, but the national media outlets […]
Sad Day for the Fourth Amendment
The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting the California Supreme Court OKs searches of cell phones without a warrant . The court ruled defendants lose their privacy rights for any items they are carrying. The court relied on search of cigarette packages. By extension, computers are fair game. Monday’s decision allows police “to rummage at leisure […]
Taxes Paid by Each Income Bracket Spell Doom…
The tipping point is here…. http://finance.yahoo.com/taxes/article/111668/where-do-you-rank-as-a-taxpayer?mod=taxes-filing When 50% of the population pays no income tax, it’s all down hill from there.
