Step Down Obama

This is a GREAT Country!

Pete G — Sat, 19 May 2012 13:01:21 +0000

This article could have been written last week, last month, last year or 100 years ago. You will see it is full of truth and import. This IS a great country, and while I bitch about the direction it is headed, there is no place else I would rather be! Look around you; people are free to do whatever they want; nobody is afraid the government will knock on their door like the Gestapo. [...]

Adam and Steve

Troubling would be an understatement! One hopes that our president would stop denigrating the job, but he just can't help himself!! Joe Biden, who is still looking for that refund check from Syracuse University, puts his foot in his mouth on Sunday (shocker!). He says that he thinks a 'Man and a Man', or a 'Woman and a Woman' an yes, even 'A Man and a Woman' should all have the right to be married. [...]

Ignore the Income Gap

The Editors — Fri, 04 May 2012 04:00:00 +0000

‘Every time a bank fails an angel gets its wings.' So goes a graffito in Manhattan’s East Village. One block away, as marchers occupied Broadway on May Day, their picket signs proclaimed, “Millionaires must pay their fair share” and “No free ride for Wall Street.” Lacking capital letters, another oddly stated: “i put all my books in the oven and i’ll never read again.” Apart from that last, puzzling sentiment, the placards echoed Occupy Wall Street and its spiritual leader, President Barack Obama. Class warriors scream about imposing “fairness” on the rich, but their shouts become mumbles when asked what precise tax rate achieves “fairness.”[...]

The Leader of the Free World

The Office of the President used to carry a certain dignity; a certain respect in the world. Regrettably, it seems, that has not been the case in recent years. Whether it is '60 Minutes', or 'The Jimmy Fallon Show' as pictured here, our commander in chief would rather yuck it up in front of the cameras, than do what he was elected to do! [...]

Side Effects: Companies Would Save Billions by Dropping Health Coverage

Alyene Senger — Wed, 02 May 2012 20:00:57 +0000

The House Ways and Means Committee just released a report that shows that the most successful companies would save billions of dollars if they stopped offering coverage to their employees and dumped them into the taxpayer-funded Obamacare exchanges. On a confidential basis, 71 Fortune 100 companies supplied information to the committee regarding the cost and coverage of their health insurance plans. The committee used the data to calculate the potential savings of dumping employees into the exchanges and paying the employer mandate penalty. The report’s findings will likely scare [...]

What Obamacare’s Tax Hikes Mean for All Americans

Kathryn Nix — Tue, 01 May 2012 23:48:33 +0000

In a recent article for MarketWatch, Andrea Coombes writes, “Whatever their opinion of the health-care reform law, wealthy Americans have a lot of money at risk in the Supreme Court’s coming decision on the law’s constitutionality.” Yes, the rich will pay higher taxes under Obamacare. But they aren’t the only ones. Obamacare raises taxes by more than $500 billion in a decade, and a number of these will hit Americans at all levels of the income scale. The specific tax hikes Coombes describes are initially intended to impact just the [...]

What Young Americans Should Really Fear

Mike Brownfield — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 21:17:12 +0000

Over the past week, President Obama has been on the road making an appeal to young Americans, offering a sales pitch on lower interest rates for their burdensome student loans. What he didn’t mention, though, is the even bigger nightmare they’ll face down the road. The president’s meme is one that USAToday picked up on this morning, describing the plight of Millennials, their piles of debt, and their high rate of unemployment [...]

Taxpayer-Backed Green Energy Firms Struggle, But Hike Executive Pay

Lachlan Markay — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 15:42:20 +0000

When insurance giant AIG paid lucrative bonuses to top executives after receiving federal support, President Obama asked, “How do they justify this outrage to the taxpayers who are keeping the company afloat?” But three years later, numerous green energy companies backed financially by the administration are paying out large salaries and bonuses to their executives, even as the companies struggle to stay financially solvent. Scribe recently reported that Ecotality, a stimulus-backed electric vehicle charging station manufacturer that has received about $141 million in Energy Department grants,[...]

New York Times Finally Notices Obama’s Unilateral Abuse of Power

Mike Brownfield — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 19:15:22 +0000

Today’s New York Times offers a stunning revelation for anyone who hasn’t been following the news out of Washington for the past three years: President Barack Obama is bypassing Congress and using his executive authority to unilaterally implement his policies of choice, irrespective of the will of the people. The Times cites an episode last fall when the president declared in a White House meeting “that the administration needed to more aggressively use executive power to govern in the face of Congressional obstructionism.” And so was born the president[...]

You Really Want Another Chance?

Pete G — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 13:13:44 +0000

As the dust barely settles on the Secret Service scandal, and we are seeing GSA officials in bubble baths, I have to ask you; why do you want another chance? Didn't we get enough CHANGE in the last four years??? If this has been progress, I would like a little regress, please! [...]
