Harry Reid: American Taxation is a Voluntary System

Just in case you were still on the fence about liberal democrats and their thinking, this may change your mind. Remember: “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is. If the–if he–if ‘is’ means is and never has been, that is not–that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement…” Classic, that’s a master speaking.

Here’s another esteemed colleague of the house of Democrats:

Barack Obama – The Great American Drunk

How much do you have to drink in order for your annual physical to declare a physician recommended “moderation of alcohol intake?” I’m guessing it’s significant unless he’s got some sort of genetic kidney or liver issue that pre-disposes him to issues with small amounts of alcohol that would be generally consistent with “social drinking.” Short of being an alcoholic or a medical freak, I can’t imagine why the doctors suggested putting down that drink.

On to the bigger issue

Do we want a president who is even moderately intoxicated? Personally, I think that would explain a lot about his decisions and spending sprees of the last year, but that’s not even where I’m going here. So, the next 9/11 hits us because he’s asleep at the wheel of national security and dismantling the fabric of our being bit by bit. Do we want a “leader” who has just pounded back 14 beers or 3 screwdrivers?

I think not.

Re: Rubio’s Personal Charges Exposed

I wrote another letter to the editor of tbt* this week. It looks like they were really focused on the orca killing a Sea World trainer for today’s letters, so mine didn’t get published. Here it is anyway.

Hardly a week goes by without news of some politician at the state or national level who has just been caught spending taxpayer money. This bad behavior goes on on both sides of the isle, too, as they reported that Pelosi spent $101k for “in-flight services” including booze and flights for friends and family during the past year.

This is nothing short of theft of taxpayer funds. It’s criminal. Business can’t purchase personal items and count them as expenses. Non-profit organizations can’t, either. Those people go to jail, as should these criminals. Just because they were elected to office by the people does not give them a blank check for carte blanche spending – in fact, it’s just the opposite. They should be held to higher standards of responsibility and face sterner punishments for breaking the trust of the people.

We the people need to start tossing our elected officials out on the street until we the people are represented by honest people of high moral standards.

Striking Fear into the Hearts of his Nation

If this doesn’t scare you, nothing will… an excerpt from Cal Thomas’ column brings some pretty good points.

Cal Thomas: Who is Rashad Hussain?

President Obama’s appointment of Rashad Hussain, his deputy associate counsel, as special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference — the second largest intergovernmental organization after the United Nations, charged with safeguarding and protecting “the interests of the Muslim world” — should be of serious concern to Congress and the American public.

Especially because Hussain, a devout Muslim, has a history of participating in events connected with the Muslim Brotherhood, according to the Chicago Tribune, “the world’s most influential Islamic fundamentalist group” whose goal is to create Muslim states throughout the world.

In 1991, a memo written by Mohamed Akram for the Shura Council of the Muslim Brotherhood spelled out the objective of the organization. Akram said the Muslim Brotherhood “must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ’sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

I am unable to find any “revelation” that has repealed that objective. Quite the contrary. Terrorists seem on track for implementing it.

The president proudly announced that Hussain is a Hafiz, someone who has completely memorized the Quran, but he did not spell out what qualifies Hussain to meet with foreign leaders at a diplomatic level in a role that approximates that of an ambassador. According to Jihad Watch, a blog directed by American author Robert Spencer that “aims to bring to public attention the role of jihad theology and ideology in the modern world,” Hussain’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood date back to his days at Yale Law School.
