			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I will be the first to admit, Mitt is not my favorite for the GOP nomination (I don&#8217;t really have a favorite) but he is a stand up guy receiving a great deal of grief for being nothing more than successful.    In order to clear the air, Mitt released his tax returns&#8230;and  what did they tell us?</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-365" style="border-color:initial;border-style:initial;" title="romney" src="http://1776blog.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/romney.jpg?w=300&#038;h=195" alt="Picture from  Bloomberg Media" width="300" height="195" /></p>
<p>1.  Mitt is very successful.  A great trait by any stretch.  Success, if I am not mistaken,</p>
<p>is encouraged in America (unless you are already successful which in that case you are disdained).</p>
<p>2.  Mitt gives a sh*tload of money to charities.</p>
<p>How terrible!  Media Unite!  Mr. Romney obviously should not be allowed to accumulate such fortune and such success.  And charity!  What a waste of good potential tax dollars.  Those funds should be given to the government, no question.  They could manage that money much better than some charity.  In fact, Mitt should turn over at least 99% of his wealth to the government and pay his fair share.  Find a nice 1 bedroom apartment and live like the rest of us poor sinners.</p>
<p>The government clearly is better at managing wealth.  Just compare Mr. Romney&#8217;s financials to the governments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://1776blog.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/barack-obama-014.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-353" title="Barack-Obama-014" src="http://1776blog.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/barack-obama-014.jpg?w=300&#038;h=180" alt="" width="300" height="180" /></a>Ask a liberal: Were Reagan&#8217;s and George H.W. Bush&#8217;s policies the reason for the booming economy of the 1990&#8242;s?  Was Clinton responsible for 9/11 and the uninhibited rise of fundamentalist Islam around the globe?  Most would say no.  But ask them if the current state of the US economy is the fault of failed policies of the George W. Bush administration and the answer you will receive is a resounding YES!</p>
<p>Aside from the fact that liberal&#8217;s are incapable of applying logic to a problem, why are they so quick to pick and choose?  The answer is simple,  they cannot grasp that liberal, socialist policies do not work.  The economic woes of America must be caused by some other reason.  There is no way it could have anything to do with excessive federal spending, increased reforms on the private sector (causing historical unemployment), or a complete lack of leadership in the White House.</p>
<p>But alas, the cold, hard truth is that our President has radical views on America, our economy and our place in the world.  As Karl Marx explained, Capitalism is necessary for Communism to be realized.   In the simplest of terms, Capitalism must fail, socialism must take hold and eventually Communism will set in just as soon as the benevolent leaders give up their power, position and money.  Obama, no doubt, seems more than happy to help the cause and destroy Capitalism under the false pretense that it does not work.</p>
<p>So, there he was last night on 60 Minutes, our most gracious and benevolent leader, pointing fingers at the GOP and crying wolf.  He spoke of the GOP being unwilling to make &#8220;common sense&#8221; concessions due to their &#8220;ideological baggage.&#8221;  Talk about the pot calling the kettle black (uh oh call the PC police), Obama has enough ideological baggage that even Southwest Airlines would charge baggage fees.  Obama is positioning himself to run against congress in 2012, not the GOP candidate.  Why?  Because he cannot run on his record or against any of the GOP contenders.  He has to run against congresses record and if the populist masses buy into his lies once again he might just succeed.</p>
<p>The GOP is far from perfect, many of the party elite are nothing more then big government Republicans.   What Obama clearly missed, as was evident in his interview last night, is that people blame the guy at the top, and in this case rightfully so, for the economic hardships that are effecting each and every one of us.  There are times to work together and there are times to stand up and say enough is enough.  This is one of those times and there is no room for failure on the conservative front.  I say, continue to stop each and every tax increase that the Obama administration tries to push through congress, continue to challenge each and every socialist program and idea that comes out of the white house, and continue to ensure the failure of President Obama&#8217;s administration, because anything less might ensure the failure of our great Nation.</p>

<p>The White House accused him of threatening Mr Bernanke.</p>
<p>Mr Perry entered the race on Saturday for next year&#8217;s Republican nomination to challenge President Barack Obama.</p>
<p>The 61-year-old, who succeeded former President George W Bush as Texas governor in 2000, is tipped as a strong contender to be the party&#8217;s nominee.</p>

<p>Yes, yes, it&#8217;s an S&amp;P screw up that caused our credit rating to fall, not out of control spending (on both sides of the aisle) that put us in this position.  But wait, make sure not to forget the Tea Party and those extremist &#8220;religious&#8221; types doing whatever it is they do to impact our credit negatively.  Oh yea, and don&#8217;t forget the global warming, I mean climate change, I mean global cooling, that is causing the heating of the streets of New York , which in turn, are causing those at Standard and Poor&#8217;s to misjudge the greatness and awe that is President Obama and his group of merry socialists.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After an lousy defense of President Obama&#8217;s stimulus and otherwise lack luster economic record, MSNBC anchor Contessa Brewer attempted to insult and attack Congressman Mo Brooks (R-Al) by asking &#8220;Do you have a degree in economics?&#8221; after getting a reply she did not like.  Well, Ms. Brewer, Representative Brooks just so happens to have a Bachelors Degree in Economics from Duke University where he graduated Summa Cum Laude in three years.</p>
<p>While this is not unexpected from PMSNBC (as Rush likes to call it), it is concerning seeing as how Ms. Brewer is not a commentator like Rachel Maddow but rather a so-called &#8220;journalist&#8221; hosting a &#8220;news&#8221; program.  This station will simply not accept its fate and its ratings and go quietly into the night.  But, hey, as long as interactions like this continue, please stay on the air as long as possible and show America your true colors.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

Pay no attention to the fact that the US government makes it virtually impossible to make a profit, let alone break even if you are an oil company in America. Exxon mobil made $2.6 billion in the us (all others profits outside us) and paid $3.1 billion in taxes not including royalties or government leases (<a href="http://www.exxonmobilperspectives.com/2011/05/02/exxonmobil-u-s-taxes-and-u-s-earnings/" target="_blank">Visit Exxon Perspectives for source</a>).  So, a usual big government has caused a vacuum where oil cannot be made profitably in the us, subsidizes the industry so they have pull and then demonize the very industry they subsidize to make themselves look good.</p>
<p>I do not recall such outrage when the Obama stimulus passed and we had such lovely spending programs as $712,883 to develop machine generated humor in Illinois.</p>
<p>How about you big government types stop voting for big taxes, big spending politicians then start bitching about oil subsidies (which I do think should end but not until the government let&#8217;s them earn a profit).</p>

<p>Talking heads on the left enjoy nothing more than to vilify Gov. Walker for doing that which he promised he would do on the campaign trail.  Why is this a shock?  It&#8217;s not.  It is nothing more than another desperate attempt by the Democrats to hold on to their crumbling empire.  Who can blame them though.  The unions pay for their campaigns, their homes, help keep them in power and sleep well at night.  The left needs unions like it needs to keep minorities poor.  Union workers have a forced dependency on Democrats as their pay, benefits and retirement all depend on corrupt politicians making deals.  And the worst part of the whole thing, those deals involve taking more of your money ( in the case of government unions) and in the case of Wisconsin, hurt the children.</p>
<p>This is about greed and nothing else.  Always is with the unions.  Gimme Gimme Gimme.  They do not believe that any responsibility lies with themselves to pay for their own benefits, retirement, etc.</p>
<p>Newsflash: Teachers should pay into their benefits at the same level as the rest of the private workforce (and so should ALL government employees).  You are not special.   Forklift operators at a Ford Tuck Plant should not make $80 an hour (true story in Louisville, KY) just for doing their job at the same place for many years.  Wanna make more than $18 an hour, contribute more (and Car companies need bailouts.  Shocking).  If you are not allowed to teach kids in New York because you abused a student, you should be fired on the spot, not collecting a salary, benefits and a retirement because of a union contract (see New York Public Schools cannot lay off 4000 former teachers).</p>
<p>Wake up America.  This is our Country going to Sh#t.</p>

<p>While I am not a fan of politicians attacking each other there is a need at times to call out your opponent if their radical beliefs are as extreme as Betty McCollum&#8217;s.  Keep in mind, this woman believes that <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/pledge-altering-congresswoman-believes-al-qaeda-is-no-longer-a-threat/" target="_blank">Al-Qaeda is no longer a threat</a> and also proudly supports Nancy Pelosi.</p>
<p>This is exactly what the TEA Party is out to change.  No more are the days of American politicians who refuse to accept America for what it is, GREAT.  No more are the days where it is deemed acceptable not to include God in the pledge of allegiance.  No More are the days where liberals try at every turn to tear down the greatest nation on the planet just to replace it with the broken, old, socialist vision of much of Western Europe.</p>
<p>If you live in Minnesota, regardless of your congressional district, <a href="http://www.collettforcongress.com/" target="_blank">support Teresa Collett </a>and help put another liberal politician on the street.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Bill Maher joined George Lopez in trashing the American public</h2>
<p>The ever humble, all knowing Bill Maher has once again proven to the American people that he is a fool and out of touch.  Maher, known for his useless HBO show <em>Real Time with Bill Maher, </em>has made a name for himself as a left wing ideologue with worn out jokes, offensive rhetoric and just plain stupid talk.  He is a typical liberal, a progressive who thinks that the American people are to simple minded and out of touch to ever make informed decisions about their lives, politics, work, or money and their only solace is big government ran by enlightened liberals, such as himself.  He felt so strongly about this that he found it acceptable to call the American people &#8220;stupid&#8221;, &#8220;like a dog&#8221;.</p>
<p>Recently Bill Maher went on Lopez tonight and if you were one of the 12 people who watched that show you would have seen this:</p>
<p><object width="538" height="404"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YUPeGaj30Sw?version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YUPeGaj30Sw?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="538" height="404" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Really?  This is great.  The left is running for their lives.  They are pulling out all the stops, putting the biggest and the dumbest out there to shoot down the TEA Party, Republicans and anyone who disagrees with their progressive agenda.  What has it accomplished?  Well, for those of you who were on the fence about how crazy these people are, now you have your answer.  For those of us who always knew they were all nuts, sweet validation.</p>
<p>Hey Bill!  We will see who&#8217;s laughing in a few days when after we stupid dogs take back our country.</p>
