Progressives and Their Taxes Kill Cities
High taxes are bad for cities. Low taxes encourage growth. In fact, between 1980 and 2007, compared to the ten most-taxed metropolitan areas, America’s ten least-taxed metropolitan areas experienced three times faster population growth, 2.7 times faster employment growth, and twice as great an increase in personal income. In the latest Cato Journal, economist Dean Stansel observes: If high-tax, low-growth metro areas like Detroit, Milwaukee, Buffalo, and Syracuse want to be more like high-growth areas such as Dallas, Tampa, San Antonio, and Austin, they should lower their onerous burden of taxation and bring spending under control. Yet does any objective observer of today’s ruling-class elitists think that ...Read More

THE LEFT WOULD DISBAND THE MILITARY TO CONTINUE SPENDING
Budget: Wisely appropriate our defense programs, not abandon them
According to the Washington Times: “The political left is pressing the White House and Congress to inflict a wave of Pentagon budget cuts not seen since the post-Cold War in the 1990’s.” And they are using the national debt crisis to say that now is the time! On the Left, many have called for $1 TRILLION in cuts. U.S. Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), has led the charge in the House for this enormous cut. The Center for America Progress, run by John Podesta, wants that much in reductions over the next THREE years and $1 Trillion from what has been projected increases over the next decade; to include several weapons terminations and troop cutbacks. Obviously, there is waste, fraud, political purchases, and corruption in Pentagon procurement — and those we wish not defend with tax dollars.Read More

Dear Conservatives
,
In a just-released Media Reality Check from the Media Research Center, the so-called "journalists" of our country’s newsrooms are exposed for the narrow-minded liberals that they are. Too focused on their plan to blame all economic problems on conservatives, the media are happy to hide the consequences of the mountain of debt that their liberal friends have piled upon our children and grandchildren.
CBS’s Bob Schieffer is so oblivious that he questioned whether conservative lawmakers “understand just how serious this debt limit crisis is?” Conservatives are right to question if Schieffer understands how serious the DEBT is. Rather than belittling conservatives desperately fighting to balance the budget, it would help if he could honestly report the devastating impact that out-of-control spending is having on our economy.
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews was not to be outdone by Bob Schieffer. He compared budget-conscious Tea-partiers to Islamic fundamentalists trying to bring down our country, General Custer attacking the U.S. on a suicide mission, and the white supremacist apartheid government in South Africa.

BIDEN CALLS TEA PARTY TERRORISTS
By JONATHAN ALLEN & JOHN BRESNAHAN | 8/1/11 4:07 PM EDT Vice President Joe Biden joined House Democrats in lashing tea party Republicans Monday, accusing them of having “acted like terrorists” in the fight over raising the nation’s debt limit.
Biden was agreeing with a line of argument made by Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) at a two-hour, closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting.

POLITICAL DIGEST 08/02/2011 CONSERVATIVE
Long Digest today, with a lot of interesting pieces, as I was off-line for two days. Some may be dated, but still I think of interest. ~Bob.
Must read: A Post-American Planet: Decline starts with the money, but it doesn’t stop there. By Mark Steyn.
Excerpt: That thoughtful observer of the passing parade, Nancy Pelosi, weighed in on the “debt ceiling” negotiations the other day: “What we’re trying to do is save the world from the Republican budget. We’re trying to save life on this planet as we know it today.” It’s always good to have things explained in terms we simpletons can understand. After a while, all the stuff about debt-to-GDP ratio and CBO alternative baseline scenarios starts to give you a bit of a headache, so we should be grateful to the House minority leader for putting it in layman’s terms: What’s at stake is “life on this planet as we know it today.” So, if right now you’re living anywhere in the general vicinity of this planet, it’s good to know Nancy’s in there pitching for you. (Steyn is one of the few on even the conservative side who truly gets it. His security is tight. I’d love to put a copy of Collapse on his desk, but can’t get an address. He lives, I believe, in NH. If anyone has suggestions, let me know. ~Bob.)
CUT WASTE NOW!!!
NO MORE DEALS UNTIL GOVERNMENT WASTE IS CUT!
by Lee S Gliddon Jr
We have just witnessed the biggest Congressional farce ever! Spending cuts? Hah!
Where do we see a single government Department cut? Over 150 separate Department Education programs continue to exist and that is MONEY to be CUT!
We concerned citizens have that as a starting point. There was a Conference Report issued last spring that found trillions in waste and not one item was addressed in the so-called Budget Negotiations.
Call your Representative and Senators and DEMAND action...NOW!

The Essential Rules Of Tyranny
The Essential Rules Of Tyranny
As we look back on the horrors of the dictatorships and autocracies of the past, one particular question consistently arises; how was it possible for the common men of these eras to NOT notice what was happening around them? How could they have stood as statues unaware or uncaring as their cultures were overrun by fascism, communism, collectivism, and elitism? Of course, we have the advantage of hindsight, and are able to research and examine the misdeeds of the past at our leisure. Unfortunately, such hindsight does not necessarily shield us from the long cast shadow of tyranny in our own day. For that, the increasingly uncommon gift of foresight is required…

MUTH'S TRUTHS 07/31/2011
HI, I’M FROM THE GOVERNMENT, AND I’M HERE TO PROTECT YOU
In the 2011 session of the Nevada Legislature, there was once again a plethora of bills to license, regulate and tax all manner of businesses and individual activity.
These ranged from forcing moped riders to register with the DMV and wear a helmet, to requiring a note from mommy before a teenager could use a tanning bed, to regulating hair braiders, music therapists and fundraisers for non-profits.
The excuse for such expansions of the nanny-state is as old as it is lame: Protecting the public….even if it means protecting us from ourselves.
Alas, busy-body nanny-statism isn’t limited to bleeding heart liberals. Indeed, session after session shows us, to their eternal shame, self-proclaimed conservative Republicans who somehow find a reason to vote for – and sometimes actually propose – legislation to insert the government into areas it really doesn’t belong, all in the name of protecting the public.

ILLEGAL ALIEN NEWS
ILLINOIS DREAM ACT TO BECOME LAW TODAY  Today Illinois Governor Pat Quinn will sign the Illinois Dream Act into law further turning Illinois into one of the most tolerant and supportive sanctuary states in the country. The Illinois Dream Act will allow the children of illegal immigrants to receive scholarships at private colleges and enroll in state college savings programs. To qualify, students must have attended high school in Illinois for at least three years. This takes Illinois’ sanctuary state status one step further following Quinn’s announcement in May that Illinois would be the first to refuse participation in the Secure Communities program by no longer providing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) any information on the arrests of illegal immigrants. |

CLEAN WATER MAY CEASE TO EXIST
Water: The Next Great Predicament for America
When the first Europeans landed in North America, anyone could drink from any lake, river or stream with full assurance of sparkling clean water. Millions of Native Americans drank from clean water sources for centuries. Inside of the last 100 years, we Americans have polluted our ground water, surface water and most rivers running to the ocean suffer from horrific contamination. We have shoved hundreds of millions of smoke stacks into our skies to pollute the rain into acid rain. It descends upon the land to create acidified soils that kill nitrogen-fixing bacteria......
