While enjoying a well-deserved, HARD EARNED vacation in pricey Martha's Vineyard, the Liar N Thief had precious little, well NOTHING, actually, to say about the latest news of Hamas withdrawing from it's "peace treaty" with Isreal. Like it actually meant anything anyway to these 7th century misogynist murderers.
Today I am on the supreme shores of the Mediterranean (glorious!) an the talk amongst the Israelis is shock and disappointment over the attacks from Egypt (the only Muslim nation to have negotiated a peace with Israel.) Gun squads (Muslim Brotherhood/Al Qaeda) attacked the beautiful, pristine seaside village of Eilat on Israel. Last I heard, six were slaughtered.
But wait - it gets worse, after Egyptian jihadists (joined by the Egyptian military) slaughtered six Jews in the Jewishhomeland, Egypt’s interim (Muslim Brotherhood) government accused Israel of violating their peace treaty and demanded an apology. Apologize for Zyclon B, you dogs!
Since the Obama assisted ouster of America's 30 year ally, the Muslim Brotherhood has seized power, and this creates a whole new malevolent paradigm. Again, I remind everyone here (although Atlas readers are well aware), I called this in January/February 2011 - I said it was a Brotherhood revolution but the mainstream media and their Lara Logans said it was liberty! democracy! until they were gang raped, of course, by the liberty loving Muslim hordes. Then it was more never mind. And so they moved on, leaving murder, mayhem, destruction, ethnic cleansing, and disaster in their wake.
Egypt Recalls Ambassador to Israel over ambush
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt said Saturday it would recall its ambassador from Israel to protest the deaths of at least three Egyptian troops killed in a shootout between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian militants who had launched a deadly attack on Israel from Egyptian soil.
The decision sharply escalated tensions between the neighboring countries, whose 1979 peace treaty is being tested by the fall of Egypt’s longtime autocratic leader, Hosni Mubarak.
http://www.conservativeusa.org/mega-cong.htm Please copy and paste this website into your browser and let your state reps. know how you feel and ask for an investigation as to how they can do this when the Dream Act did NOT pass?
I am looking for a candidate that will take a stand against these kind of unlawful actions by the president and Homeland Security....the Dream Act did NOT pass so why do they pass their own law? ----esp. when Congress is away on vacation and so is the president....is this just a coincidence????? NO! When they don't win---they do what they want?????? Where is this in the Constitution? Why is this allowed? I am looking for a party that will lay down the law and enforce it....so far I dont' see anyone doing anything about it...When the people said no to healthcare they did it anyway....when the Dream Act didn't pass they do it anyway......Of course I think there is a reason to let the "good" illegals stay here....Obama needs their votes to win in 2012 and of course the ones getting amnesty and work orders will be sooooo grateful they will vote for him in one way or another. Will the Tea Party make this an issue or not? That is why I joined with you...I am hoping for this to be brought up to the American people and voters....Thanks
We need a little amnesty ourselves, as it ain't easy being a "terrorist" while trying to defend our country from the terrors within, the horrors looming without, and a constant pummeling from all sides, hitting us in the pocket harder while slapping us around like errant school-children.
We don't need another whining lecture on Keynesian economics and grievance platitudes from an Islamofascist street-thug whose only accomplishment in life to date before being suspiciously elevated to POTUS was educating legions of Chicago tenement-dwellers on how to "rig" elections, "beat the system" tactics and the Cloward-Piven strategy, with Saul Alinsky as top-billing.
You want the facts? Do you really want to know what's going on in Obama's "recovery" he is so fond of bragging about? Well, HERE YOU GO:
Bowing to pressure from immigrant rights activists, the Obama administration said Thursday that it will halt deportation proceedings on a case-by-case basis against illegal immigrants who meet certain criteria, such as attending school, having family in the military or having primary responsible for other family members’ care.
The move marks a major step for President Obama, who for months has said he does not have broad categorical authority to halt deportations and said he must follow the laws as Congress has written them.
The top House Republican on the Judiciary Committee said the move is part of a White House plan “to grant backdoor amnesty to illegal immigrants.”
“The Obama administration should enforce immigration laws, not look for ways to ignore them,” said Rep. Lamar Smith, Texas Republican. “The Obama administration should not pick and choose which laws to enforce. Administration officials should remember the oath of office they took to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the land.”
“Our moral, political, and economic liberties are inherent, not granted by our government. It is essential to the practice of these liberties that we be free from restriction over our peaceful political expression and free from excessive control over our economic choices” (excerpt from the TEA Party Contract from America which is shown in full in the footnotes).
Rasmussen Polls Show Virtually Unchanged
Political Viewpoints over Last 40 Months
Social-conservatives in the next few months will have to decide if they want to solve the problems that matter in this country and govern the United States of America and make her great again or if they'd prefer to feel themselves "right" within their own tiny-twisted minds and leave the power, control and tax money all in the hands of President Obama and his neo-Marxists. They can be "right" or they can find peace knowing they've saved the country . . . they absolutely canNOT do both! That is the point of this blog . . . .
America was moved to a point of absolute crisis this week. Today the Obama administration made an “endrun" around Congress (and changed the Constitution’s rules on Naturalization without amending the Constition) by making legal aliens of illegals and proposing the use of regulatory means within the Department of Homeland Security “on a case-by-case basis” to allow amnesty for illegal aliens deemed NOT to be a threat (no criminal record). Meanwhile President Obama is on vacation considering a “bold new jobs initiative” including a brand new round of federal stimulus. More insidiously, for the last eight months the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been moving (also by fiat regulatory powers) to covertly enforce the Cap and Trade bill that failed to pass Congress in 2009 and 2010 and has begun by closing down coal mines and restricting oil drilling. In a nutshell, these examples well illustrate what’s wrong with the nation today and why fiscal- and Constitutional conservativism as demanded by the TEA (“Taxed Enough Already” or “Taken Enough Abuse”) Party is the only route to saving our country.
Few clear-thinkers among us would deny that America stands at a crucial point in her history: most all obvious signs point to decline and potential ruin, but opportunity to realign with our greater earlier history also beckons us toward the future. If ever there was a time for a true statesman or stateswoman to emerge, now is such a time. What do we mean by a “statesman?” How might we recognize him? We will explore the “pros and cons” of this question in the paragraphs that follow . . . .
Political work in many ways is like being a combination mechanic and back-slapper. Yes, the final “work” gets done by others who must be encouraged to do vast legwork -- but first of all there is a need for the ‘mechanic’s eye for reality’ so that real problems get dealt with in realistic fashion. For example the reality is that 95% of our present problems have fiscal and bureaucratic over-reach as part of their central cause. That truth must be honored, but then again it’s also clearly a people-business. So let’s talk today about the reality of the problems and more importantly about the reality of the people-perspective necessary for a new true statesman to emerge and to lead us out of these stagnant and dangerous 2011 waters . . . .
Although a good 30% of Democrats deny that the country is facing any fiscal problems (that is, no problems at all with respect to National Debt; Debt Ceiling; Bond Downgrade; Excess Government Spending; Ongoing Deficits; UNfunded Liabilities in Major Entitlement Programs) or troubles with the size and scope of government . . . the vast majority of Americans know better. Poll after poll shows that roughly 72% of the total populace agrees that these two areas are the source of the nation’s problems. Voters showed their recognition of these truths in the 2010 elections when they voted overwhelmingly for candidates favoring fiscal- and Constitutional-conservativism. So what tools does the statesman have at his disposal in facing these problems? And what approaches should be avoided?
The good people at Rasmussen Reports (which has been the most accurate among pollsters for the last dozen years) periodically runs a poll concerning the make-up of the voting populace. That poll consistently confirms what has been reputedly true over the last forty years . . . the nation is “center-right” politically. And yet, you correctly observe, tax-and-spend progressive politicians have dominated the country since Calvin Coolidge left office. The eight years of Ronald Reagan mark the only true conservativism within the Oval Office during that 82.5 year span. Why?
The problem is that while fiscal- and Constitutional conservativism are ultra-popular stances . . . social-moderation combined with social-liberalism dominates the American scene. Live and let live socially (that phraseology is sure to upset the anti-abortion folk, no?) is the predominant political stance in America. Reagan with his affability, his great sense of humor and his capacity for succinctly nailing the opposition to the wall with their own outrageous behavior and beliefs (“Tear down this Wall, Mr. Gorbachev!” “Government is NOT the solution to our problems, government IS the problem.” “Concentrated power has always been liberty’s greatest enemy.”) was precisely what American needed in 1980 and has needed for the last 82.5 years and indeed throughout the total 234 years of the nation’s existence. And Reagan stayed out of people’s churches and bedrooms. He was a no-nonsense fiscal- and Constitutional-conservative with an appealing and practical ability to work with people of almost any political stripe. What was Reagan’s secret weapon allowing him to appeal to voters while so many conservatives thoroughly “turn-off” the vast majority of voters? Tolerance!
Reagan began as a New Deal Democrat, a huge fan of the person and policies of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He served as the President of the very liberal Screen Actors’ Guild for several years . . . he only slowly came to conservativism. He realized that (within limits) there was a need for both “loading the cart” by (after national defense was taken care of) encouraging free markets and business and “unloading the cart” by taking care of infra-structure and people. What’s the correct proportion of the balance between loading and unloading? Perhaps a 90-10 split with government spending 10% of the nation’s resources (GDP)? Reagan’s own numbers showed an 81.5% to 18.5% balance. In any case rather than being an ideologue, Reagan was open to discussion on the issues and postulated an 80-20 rule when it comes to calling another politician “friend.” “If a man votes with me 80% of the time, I consider him my friend, my ally.” So he was big on getting consensus rather than running roughshod over other people’s positions.
Let us look at what Rasmussen polling tells us of what we can expect when we find a new Reagan. Only two political descriptions are rated as more positive than negative by the voters: “conservative” and “moderate.” 42% of voters regard it as positive if a candidate is labeled as “politically conservative.” For a comparison: only 24% of the electorate regards “progressive” (the current euphemism for “liberal”) as positive. Both “liberal” and “progressive” are regarded as far more negative than positive terms. So again the conservative viewpoint is affirmed but the country doesn’t elect conservatives with any consistency . . . 60% of the nation calls itself either “moderate” or “liberal” on social issues . . . and that 60% finds an awful lot to hate in social-conservativism . . . an awful lot to vote against and be turned off by.
So we return to our clear and obvious thesis: while fiscal-progressives (a.k.a. liberals) and Constitutional-progressives (a.k.a. neo-Marxists) are killing the country with their socialistic policies . . . our own social-conservativism is sharpening the knife and putting it into their hands. How? By polarizing the voting populace into social-conservatives vs. everyone else and watering down all respect for fiscal- and Constitutional-conservativism. The reason the TEA Party was so effective in getting results in 2010, when they stayed out of politics and nominating and instead played kingmakers and idea salesmen, was that fiscal- and Constitutional-conservativism was served and issues like absolute anti-abortionism, prayer in public school, evolution in the biology classrooms of public schools, etc. are not discussed.
When the TEA Party went too far and got into running for office, however, candidates perceived as “extreme” and “weirdo” (such as Sharon Angle, Christine O’Donnell and Ken Buck in Nevada, Delaware and Colorado respectively) emerged and totally turned off the voters and cost the Republicans a share of the Senate which would have made a huge difference in the last four key votes in Congress (debt-limit; Bush Tax Break Extension and budget for 2011 finally; finally passing a 2012 budget; and Cut-Cap and Balance legislation). All of these issues resulted in unsatisfactory legislation when a far more satisfactory result would have been possible if the G.O.P. controlled Congress. How important is this?
Consider this, once Paul Ryan’s budget proposal was submitted and passed in the House, the Obama budget proposal was introduced into the Senate where Obama’s Democrats had controlling numbers. What was the result? Mr. Obama’s proposal was defeated in the Democrat-controlled Senate by a 0-97 vote. Even Obama’s Democrats understood the writing on the wall. Conservative thinking is ruling the day, but the public still strongly resents holier-than-thou social-conservativism and insistence by conservatives on their perceived-right to enter people’s religious or sexual sanctuaries will not be tolerated by the electorate. For a final proof of this: remember that 59% of the populace is 100% opposed to the ultra-social-conservative stance of ZERO abortions in cases of incest, rape, extremely young mothers, or a threat to the life or health of the mother while 76% of Americans believe there are far too many abortions in America.
We saw Rick Perry this week giving us a great example of why strict adherence to fiscal-conservativism and Constitutional-conservativism is the only reasonable approach. Serving as an extremely bad example, Perry preceded his recent entering the presidential fray with a big-spectacle event a “prayer-fest.” This played well in Iowa; it will NOT win him votes in the vast majority of states. Perry then goes to New Hampshire and cannot answer a simple schoolchild’s question about the age of the earth (4.5 billion years roughly) and, after tut-tutting to the kid that “there are gaps in the Theory of Evolution” (yes, there are, but nothing like the obvious contradictions and shortfalls of the sacred books of ALL our religions) tells the schoolboy that in Texas they teach both Creationism and Evolution in school.
Mr. Perry, in short, is a fool proposing foolish things. Literal 7-Day Creationism is a religious tenet that should be confined to private schools funded by private and/or religious resources and NOT taught in public schools funded by the taxes of Jews, Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, agnostics, atheists, Shintos and Rastafarians as well as Christians. Mr. Perry, is proving himself unable to keep his eye on the twin balls of fiscal- and Constitutional-conservativism . . . indeed by advocating literal 7-Day Creationism be taught in public schools he is violating the tenets of the 1st Amendment. I don’t know about you, but Rajjpuut’s “God is way too large to fit into Mr. Perry’s tiny church.”** And that is exactly why, expect for Ronald Reagan, Conservativism has been such a failure over the last eight decades.
If conservatives learn nothing from the TEA Party’s successes and failures . . . they need to learn this: there are no areas of an individual’s life more private or more sensitive than religion and the bedroom and any effort to tell that person how to believe or what to do in either the church or the bedroom will only foster the grossest of enmities.
Rajjpuut believes that the TEA Party, when it sticks to its ten listed principles in the Contract from America@@, is the strongest force for political good in the nation. When it abandons them a la Angle, Buck and O’Donnell only bad things are possible. There is no document greater and none more ignored at this time in America’s history than the Contract from America. This is the truth as Almighty God has allowed me to see it, ignore this truth at risk of ruin to our great nation.
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut
** These are the very words Rajjpuut’s father spoke as he “ex-communicated” himself from church a long time ago after a priest avowed that Gandhi “would burn in hell along with all those other heathens because he didn’t welcome Christ into his soul” and then refused to “recant” under my father’s withering interrogation. When it comes to religion, the best advice of all is “Judge not, lest ye be judged.” Rajjpuut suspects that Christ would welcome Gandhi into his soul in any case. As to their relevance today, we (you and I) didn't rule on the abortion issue in Roe vs. Wade in 1973, but we should also not be so stupid as to deny that it's the present law of the land and has been for almost 40 years now and is unlikely to change . . . mostly because of the stance of absolutists among the anti-abortion people. Refusing abortions in case of rape, incest, for very, very young mothers and in cases where the mother's life or health are at risk deeply angers 60% of the American public.

The Contract from America
We, the undersigned, call upon those seeking to represent us in public office to sign the Contract from America and by doing so commit to support each of its agenda items, work to bring each agenda item to a vote during the first year, and pledge to advocate on behalf of individual liberty, limited government, and economic freedom.
Individual Liberty
Our moral, political, and economic liberties are inherent, not granted by our government. It is essential to the practice of these liberties that we be free from restriction over our peaceful political expression and free from excessive control over our economic choices.
Limited Government
The purpose of our government is to exercise only those limited powers that have been relinquished to it by the people, chief among these being the protection of our liberties by administering justice and ensuring our safety from threats arising inside or outside our country’s sovereign borders. When our government ventures beyond these functions and attempts to increase its power over the marketplace and the economic decisions of individuals, our liberties are diminished and the probability of corruption, internal strife, economic depression, and poverty increases.
Economic Freedom
The most powerful, proven instrument of material and social progress is the free market. The market economy, driven by the accumulated expressions of individual economic choices, is the only economic system that preserves and enhances individual liberty. Any other economic system, regardless of its intended pragmatic benefits, undermines our fundamental rights as free people.
Note: The percentages shown mark what percentage of the public respondents who thought this particular item belonged in the final “contract’ from among the 28 originally named principles created by the TEA Party . . . Hence the title Contract from America.
1. Protect the Constitution
Require each bill to identify the specific provision of the Constitution that gives Congress the power to do what the bill does. (82.03%)
2. Reject Cap & Trade
Stop costly new regulations that would increase unemployment, raise consumer prices, and weaken the nation’s global competitiveness with virtually no impact on global temperatures. (72.20%)
3. Demand a Balanced Budget
Begin the Constitutional amendment process to require a balanced budget with a two-thirds majority needed for any tax hike. (69.69%)
4. Enact Fundamental Tax Reform
Adopt a simple and fair single-rate tax system by scrapping the internal revenue code and replacing it with one that is no longer than 4,543 words—the length of the original Constitution. (64.90%)
5. Restore Fiscal Responsibility & Constitutionally Limited Government in Washington
Create a Blue Ribbon taskforce that engages in a complete audit of federal agencies and programs, assessing their Constitutionality, and identifying duplication, waste, ineffectiveness, and agencies and programs better left for the states or local authorities, or ripe for wholesale reform or elimination due to our efforts to restore limited government consistent with the US Constitution’s meaning. (63.37%)
6. End Runaway Government Spending
Impose a statutory cap limiting the annual growth in total federal spending to the sum of the inflation rate plus the percentage of population growth. (56.57%)
7. Defund, Repeal, & Replace Government-run Health Care
Defund, repeal and replace the recently passed government-run health care with a system that actually makes health care and insurance more affordable by enabling a competitive, open, and transparent free-market health care and health insurance system that isn’t restricted by state boundaries. (56.39%)
8. Pass an ‘All-of-the-Above” Energy Policy
Authorize the exploration of proven energy reserves to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources from unstable countries and reduce regulatory barriers to all other forms of energy creation, lowering prices and creating competition and jobs. (55.51%)
9. Stop the Pork
Place a moratorium on all earmarks until the budget is balanced, and then require a 2/3 majority to pass any earmark. (55.47%)
10. Stop the Tax Hikes
Permanently repeal all tax hikes, including those to the income, capital gains, and death taxes, currently scheduled to begin in 2011. (53.38%)
Does “Power from the Barrel of a Gun”
Threaten “100 Flowers?”
The bailouts of GM, today known as “Government Motors,” and Chrysler by the federal government and the $787 Billion Obama-stimulus are two of the most hated actions by Barack Obama and his administration. To oversee these travesties, Obama appointed one of his 43 un-vetted high-paid czars (none of whom would have survived even the most harmless questioning by the U.S. Senate if it had been allowed to have talked to them) a neo-Marxist named Ron Bloom. Technically Bloom was the “manufacturing czar” but that’s a lot less important than the man’s ideology as expressed here:
http://www.moonbattery.com/archives/2009/10/ron_bloom_anoth.html
“Generally speaking, we get the joke,” Bloom said, “We know that the free market is nonsense. We know that the whole point is to game the system, to beat the market or at least find someone who will pay you a lot of money**, ’cause they’re convinced that there is a free lunch.”
“We know this is largely about power, that it’s an adults-only no- limit game. We kind of agree with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun. And we get it that if you want a friend you should get a dog.”
Mao Tse Dong (or Mao Tse Tung) was, of course, arguably the worst tyrant in human history, having brought about the death of 60-70 million of his own subjects during peacetime. He was 100%-convinced in the rightness of Marxism and a totalitarian communist who reduced every soul in the most populous nation on earth to absolute slavery to its central-planning government bureaucrats. Mao’s star rides very high in the progressive (liberal) sky. For example, Obama's former Communications Director Anita Dunn regarded Mao as one of her “favorite political philosophers” according to a graduation address she gave in 2009. She and Bloom are not alone. Mao is cherished by BHO himself who admitted to taking courses from only the most left-wing of professors during his days at Occidental College.
Anyway, getting back to Ron Bloom who recently quit the Obama administration . . . just this past June he was interviewed by Florida Republican Representative Connie Mack at a hearing held by the House of Representative’s Subcommittee on Regulatory Affairs, Stimulus Oversight and Government Spending. During that hearing Bloom was forced to explain the “dentist chair” bargaining technique favored by labor unions (grab the dentist by his testicles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua39P8PcGPo&feature=player_embedded#t=0s). Mack further pressed Bloom about his role in the General Motors and Chrysler bailouts, asking numerous tough questions regarding several of Bloom’s remarks listed above. Mack also asked Bloom if his union background should have disqualified him from heading the Obama initiatives.
Bloom denied any fondness for Mao and tried to laugh the whole line of questioning off. You and I know better . . . and bringing the Bloom story up-to-date the leftwing blogsite Politico.com ran the Bloom resignation story and ended it this way:
In reference to Obama’s continuing efforts to forge a partnership between manufacturers in several states, unions and academia — in order to revitalize American factories — Bloom apparently saw something Mao-esque in the way government was attempting to support private business, stating the approach would, “let the great thousand flowers bloom in America” -- Mao’s exact wording was “a hundred flowers,” and there is absolutely no question as to where the phrase originated.
Back in the summer of 1957 in the People’s Republic of China, a movement emerged called the “Hundred Flowers Campaign,” during which the Communist Party allegedly encouraged those with diverse view points to step forward and share their ideas with a view to “letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend as a policy for promoting progress in the arts and the sciences and a flourishing socialist culture in our land.”
Tragically, it was all a sick-sick ploy that a lot of Chinese intellectuals and free-thinkers fell for . . . a sick ploy with the aim of snuffing out as many free-thinkers and dissidents as the regime possibly could. Not surprisingly, Mao severely punished many who participated in the Hundred Flowers Movement until finally re-imposing his oppressive policies on public expression once the hundred flowers had been crushed under jack boots and rather than pressed between the pages of a book. Once again Rajjpuut would suggest the reader look up the Obama czars and their personal histories and their words in video online; as well as reading Dreams from My Father Obama’s first autobiography; and read Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, the Chicago University course that Obama taught for five semesters.
http://www.americanpatrol.com/REFERENCE/Alinsky-SaulRef.html
It’s also helpful to remember that before it was removed in recent editions, Alinsky’s second book (Reveille for Radicals was the first) featured this “dedication page” . . . .
"Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins -- or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that, with a total starting capital of one snake, he won his own kingdom -- Lucifer."
And it’s even more important to remember that Politico.com http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0408/9610.html also ran this revealing article by Barack Obama’s dad http://www.politico.com/static/PPM41_eastafrica.html from the East Africa Journal when the boy was four years old (Dreams from his father, indeed) in which he praises “scientific socialism” a.k.a. communism and talks longingly of the possibility of “100 taxes” upon the rich. Back in 1925, Rudolf Hess took dictation for Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler . . . like Bloom’s and Dunn’s and Alinsky’s words; and the words of all the Obama czars and those of the great man himself and his father . . . too many people do humanity a huge disservice when would-be tyrants are allowed to speak with impunity with no good people bothering to listen.
Ya’ll live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut
** Bloom said at another time “someone who will support you because they believe there is such a thing as a free lunch,” but Rajjpuut cannot now find the quote.
By the way, Rajjpuut owes this logic to a friend:
If you can answer this correctly, you can answer the
question on what action to take on raising the Federal debt ceiling.
You come home from work and find there has been a sewer
backup and you have sewage up to your ceilings.
What do you do……raise the ceilings, or pump out the shi_?

THERE IS NO SIMPLE ANSWER TO A FAIR TAX. OUR SOCIETY HAS BECOME VERY COMPLICATED, WE ARE A NATION OF IMIGRANTS + NATIVER BORN INDIANS. OUR SOCIETY HAS EVOLVED INTO A COMPLEX COMMUNITY OF MANY NATIONALITIES, RELIGIONS ETC. EACH WITH THE CHARACHTICS UNIQUE TO EACH. WE HAVE DEVELOPED INTO COMPLEX MIX OF CORPORATIONS, BUSINESS AND BELIEFS. EACH OF US CONTRIBUTES TO THE PUBLIC GOOD OF ALL IN WAYS UNIQUE TO EACH OF US.
AS FAR AS NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COPRPORATIONS AND OTHJER ENTERPRISES, WE SHOULD DEVELOPE A RATING SYSTEM PECULAR TO THE CONTRIBUTION OF EACH TO THE LIFE STYLE AND WELL BEING TO "OUR CITIZENRY" THOSE WITH THE GREATEST CONTRIBITIONS SHOULD GET CORRESPONDING TAX BREAKS.
THOSE COMPANIES WITH INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS SHOULD GET U S TAX BREAKS AND CREDITS FOR THAT PORTION OF THEIR OPERATIONS CONTRIBUTING TO THE U S POPULATION ONLY. THEY SHOULD NOT GET TAX BENIFITS FOR THEIR OVERSEAS OPERATION WHICH EMPLOY PERSONEL OF THE OTHJER COUNTRIES THEY OPERATE IN. THE FORIEGN TAX CREDIT GIVE CREDIT AGAINST U S TAXES FOR THE TAXES THEY PAY TO OTHER COUNTRIES WHEN THEIR FORIEGN OPERATIONS DO NPOT CONTRIBUTE DIRECTLY TO U S CITIZENS. THIS IS JUST A DISGUISED FOREIGN AID FEATURE.
THEY SHOULD NOT GET TAX BENIFITS FOR EXPORTING OPERATIONS TO OTHER COUNTRIES, RATHER SHOULD PAY A PENALTY TAX FOR THE PORTION OF THEIR OPERATIONS WHICH ARE SHIPPED OVERSEAS. THIS PENALTY COULD BE OFFSET WITH AN ALLOWANCE FOR AMERICAN MADE GOODS BEING EXPORTED.
OIL COMPANIES WHOSE CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY AFFECT EVERY CITIZEN IN BENIFICIAL WAYS SHOULD GET THE BEST TAX BENIFITS FOR THE DIRECT CONTRIBUTION TO ALL OF US PLUS THE AMERICAN OIL, PETROLIUM PRODUCTS THEY EXPORT OVERSEAS. LET THEM MAKE PROFITS PRODUCED BY AMERICANS AND FOR AMERICANS AND KEEP THOSE PROFITS IN THE U S.
HEDGE FUND MANAGERS WHOS CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY IS LIMITED TO AN ELITE FEW SHOULD BE TAXED AT THE HIGHEST TAX RATES. (THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE DEMOCRAT FINANCIAL ANGEL GEORGE SOROS).
LOCAL BUSINESS' WOULD GENERALLY BE EXCLUDE FROM THE RATING SYSTEM BECAUSE OF THEIR CONTRIUBUTION TO LOCAL AND STATE CITIZENRY.
AS I STATED OUR SOICIUETY IS A COMPLEX ONE AND THEREFORE THE SOLUTIONS TO A FAIR TAX HAVE TO HAVE A MATCHING COMPLXITY.
Last week while watching c-span, i followed the progress of the proposed legislation re: loosening up the restrictions on oil and gas exploration and developinment of the use of our natural resources. During the votes on various proposals, I kept switching to Fox business channel to check the per barrel price of oil, it was so interesting that every time a vote went in favor to increased exploration and production of our own oil reserves, the price dropped rapidly ending in a price under 100. it wud appear that the threat of using our own reserves drives the international price down, which shud ultimitly result in lower prices per gallon at the pump. I find this observation an interesting insight into the administrations insistances that we continue our dependance on foriegn oil to send our dollars to aqreas of the world who r supplying our terrorists with guns and amunition being used to kill our brave troops who r fighting to try to bring some improvement to this screwed up world.
Bill Uthe
WE R OVERDUE TO RATING DESERVING PROVIDERS OF GOODS AND SERVICES FOR TAX CREDITS. WE SHUD HV A RATING SYSTEM BASED ON THE CONTRIBUTION TO THE GENERAL WELFARE AND LIFE STYLE OF OUR CITIZENRY. MANUFACTURING CORPORATIONS AND BUSINESS USUALLY PROVIDE A VARIETY OF GOODS THAT ENHANCE OUR LIVING STANDARDS AND SHOULD RECIEVE ANY TAX BREAKS WHICH WILL INCREASE THEIR PRODUCTIVE EFFORTS IN PROVIDING AND THEIR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO PRODUCE AND DEVELOPE MORE THINGS WHICH ADD TO OUR EVERY DAY LIVING NEEDS. OIL COMPANY'S SHOULD RECIEVE ANY TAX BREAKS AND CREDITS WHICH WILL BE AN ADDED INCENTIVE FOR THEM TO EXPLORE AND DEVELOPE OUR NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO EXPLORE BETTER WAYS TO IMPROVE THEIR PRODUCT BECAUSE THEY DEFINITLY AFFECT OUR EVERYDAY LIVING. SERVICE PROVIDERS SHOULD BE RATED BY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO DERIVE A DIRECT BENIFIT FROM THOSE SERVICES,STARTING WITH THE LOWER INCOME CITIZENS SHOULD RECIEVE A HIGH RATING WHICH WOULD DECREASE AS THE NUMBER OF CITIZENS SERVED DECREASES. THIS WOULD INCLUDE ALL OF THE SERVICE PROVIDERS WHO DEAL DIRECTLY WITH THE OVERALL PUBLIC REGARDLESS OF SOCIAL OR FINANCIAL STANDING.
THOSE SERVICE PROVIDERS WHO CATER ONLY TO THE HIGHER INCOME ELITE CITIZENRY SHOULD BE RATED VERY LOW , THAT WOULD INCLUDE HEDGE FUND MANAGERS, POLITICAL ADVISORS, POLITICAL APPPOINTEES, ETC.
AFTER HEARING SO MUCH ABOUT CORPORATE TAX LOOPHOLKES ON C-SPAN, I DECIDED TO CHECK INTO SOME OF THOSE TAX BENIFITS. ALTHOUGH I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE FOREIGN TAX CREDITS FOR INDIVIDUALS AND AM IN FAVOR OF ALL OF THEM I DID NOT HAVE MUCH CURRENT KNOWLEDGE ABOUT CORPORATE FOREIGN TAX CREDITS INASMUCH AS IT HAS BEEN MANY YEARS (1962) SINCE I HAD BEEN AN ASSISTANT TREASURE FOR WHAT WAS THEN, THE LARGEST INTERNATIONAL FOUNDRY CONGLOMERATE IN THE WORLD. . KEEPING IN MIND THAT TAX CREDITS ARE A 100% DIRECT CREDIT AGAINST THE U S INCOME TAX LIABILITY AFTER THAT TAX HAS BEEN DETERMINED WHILE TAX DEDUCTIONS ARE A DEDUCTION FROM TAXABLE INCOME AND THE BENIFIT IS LIMITED TO THE PERCENTAGE TAX RATE OF THE FILER. THEREFORE TAX CREDITS ARE MORE DESIRABLE.
THE FOREIGN TAX CREDIT IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT OF US INCOME TAX AND ANY AMUNTS OVER THE THAT IS NOT REFUNDABLE IN THE YEAR OF FILING ALTHOUGH ANY UNUSED FOREIGN TAX CREDIT MY BE CARRIED FORWARD TO FUTURE YEARS IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.
THE STATED PIRPOSE OF THE FORIEGN TAX CREDIT TO AVOID DOUBLE TAXATION ON THE SAME INCOME.
THE TAX PAID TO U S STATES IS ALLOWED AS A DEDUCTABLE BUSINESS EXPENSE AND NOT A CREDIT. THE FIRST QUESTION THAT CAME TO MIND IS WHY IS A CORPORATIONS FOREIGN OPERATIONS FAVORED OVER OPERATIONS OPERATIONS IN VARIOUS STATES WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. THE FACT THAT FOREIGN CORPORATE INCOME TAX RATES ARE NOTORIOUSLY LOWER THAN U S TAX RATES SEEMS THAT IT LEAVES THE DOOR OPEN FOR ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES WHICH TRANSFERS MORE PROFITS TO OPERATIONS IN FOREIGN COUNTRY'S IN ORDER TO PAY A LOWER PERCENTAGE IN TAXES WHILE CREATING HIGHER TAX CREDITS FOR DOMESTIC OPERATIONS. THIS SITUATION ALSO ENCOURGES CORPORATIONS TO TRANSFER MOR OF THEIR ACTUAL OPERATIONS OVERSEAS THIS IS CALLED OUTSOURCING JOBS OUT OF THIS COUNTRY. GENERAL ELECTRIC PAYS NO U S INCOME TAX AND SMART ACCOUNTING PRACTICES WITH THE FORIEGN TAX CREDIT VERY POSSABLY COULD BE UTILIZED BY ANY COMPANY SEEKING TO INCREASE THEIR PROFIT MARGIN. GENERAL ELECTRIC JUST ANNOUNCED AN ENTIRE DIVISION BEING TRANSFERRED TO CHINA WHICH COULD MEAN THAT THOUSANDS OF CHINESE WORKERS WILL BE REPLACING AMERICAN WORKERS. WHY SHOULD G E BE ALLOWED TO ENJOY THE BENIFITS OF THE FORIEGN TAX CREDIT WHILE OUTSOURCEING JOBS?? THIS BOTHERS ME.
THEREFORE I WOULD PROPOSE THAT THE FORIEGN TAXES PAID BY AN AMERICAN CORPORATION BE ALLOWED ONLY AS A BUSINESS DEDUCTION, THE SAME AS TAXES PAID TO OUR STATES ARE AND THAT A NEW NON DEDUCTABLE PENALTY FEE BE CHARGED TO ANY CORPORATION OUTSOURCING OUR JOBS OVERSEAS .
SHOULDNT WE PROVIDE MORE INCENTIVES FOR CORPORATIONS TO KEEP THESE PRODUCTS AS AMERICAN, MADE
BY AMERICANS?
As Islamic sects fight for control of the USA and the world, “WE THE PEOPLE” must decide what our founding fathers meant by “Freedom of Religion”. Could they have meant secular humanism “freedom from Religion” where anything goes or did they mean Islam the strictest cult[1] known to man?
We continue to remove the Judeo-Christian biblical laws that define our existence from court houses[2] and embrace Sharia law[3]. How much longer before we look like London in flames or one of the Stone Age countries of Islam?
Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story wondered if we could survive as a nation if we did not teach our children about religion (Specifically the Christian Religion) and morality as restraints upon the liberal sensual desires of freemen, (secular humanists).
The central question of 2012 is how do “we the people” define Religion?
It now appears as only a matter of time until the United States of America, which Islam has “deemed amenable to take over action”, will be just another Islamic country. And as they say time is on their side.
God is clearly giving us a choice as a nation.
What sets America apart from the rest of the world? Why is the United States of America the most powerful nation in history? The answer to both questions is the same, God’s blessings. We began as a Christian Nation based on the Biblical concept of freedom of choice.
What do you believe? See the attached document: A dispute over Religion A%20dispute%20over%20Religion-1.doc
Where do we want to go as a country? I choose the way of the cross!
I love the song by Elvis: “One Pair of Hands”
It's not Elvis people. His name is Carroll Roberson. The song is beautiful regardless of who sings it.
Still it shows how easily we can be misled by something that sounds so real so dear to our hearts. Religion is like that, you must know what you believe put aside familial values and social traditions and become accountable for your own thoughts and actions for all will eventually stand before the judgment seat of God!.
Islam is portrayed as a religion of peace although it’s cult like mind control teaches from an early age that the individual has no freedom to make decisions that all things including his time of death have been determined by Allah. Islamic teachings make no distinction between political and religious activity. There can be no separation of Church and State with Islam. The State is always subservient to Islamic religious leaders who have a plan to achieve a new world order the ultimate goal being a truly and fully, united Islamic world. (Sunni or Shia is the debate within Islam)
Islamic people are also breeding themselves into power around the world and in the USA. (see Farrakhan’s speech from New Orleans in 60’s) Mosques and Islamic schools of every sectarian type are being located by the thousands in the USA. They blend into the fabric of our nation, even reaching into our school texts books teaching Islam as taught by these 25 principles. Availability, compassion, co-operation, cleanliness, community spirit, dependability, diligence, discernment, enthusiasm, faith, forgiveness, generosity, gratefulness, humility, integrity, loyalty, obedience, orderliness, patience, responsibility, respect, self-control, sincerity, tolerance and truthfulness. Islamic history and culture must be taught in the USA “to bridge the gap of understanding between East and West if we ever hope to experience a future of peace and prosperity", it sounds great, until you become aware that this is by design a program, a well developed Iranian plan of action, to convert the people of America to Islam.
Every school, every city, every state, and every political institution in America now has a pro Islamic toe hold. The total number of Muslims in the USA is now in the millions, of which given the percentage of radicals in the total Muslim population around the world we can deduce that we have a potential of 300,000 radical jihadists within our borders.
Jihadists take the long view, and will work with anyone to undermine the U.S. and its allies. Remember, Shia Iran has allied with Sunni terrorists groups.
All Islamists know that western civilization is the primary impediment to their plans for a global caliphate. Jihadists feel it is better to bring western civilization, arm-in-arm with socialists and other radicals, and figure out who will rule once the dust settles.
In their view victory is assured only the U.S., Britain, and a handful of others truly stand in their way, which makes any subversive, radical leftist movement in those countries a useful short-term ally. No Islamic state in the world allows the Bible or open preaching of the Christian religion within its borders. What does the future hold for radical leftist and socialist in an Islamic state?
A point of history to remember: Al Qaeda emerged from the victory of the mujahadeen over Communist Russia. In their view, the jihadists beat the communists once, so they think the next time around the less ferocious socialists, and secular humanists would be an easy adversary.
As a nation the very strength of our system is being used against us as our individual freedoms are being used by foreigners to change the system to their liking. We are loosing our identity; we are no longer a Christian nation but a Godless secular nation. Our Christian religion takes a back seat to everything. We are now in a post-Christian, post-Western cultural crisis which threatens the very heart of our culture. With open and vulnerable borders and populations divided by language, race and religion we have become politically weak and divided as a nation. A house divided cannot stand.
Islam must stop all political activity or be treated as a political organization or cult not a religion.
Radical Secular Humanism should be treated as a religion and not allowed to control the politics in the United States of America.
As a nation we need to come to terms with our past and plan for the future. While we still can, we should acknowledge that our legal and governmental structure is based on a Judeo-Christian world view and English should be our official language. If not, we will loose both and cease to be a distinct people, and a distinct nation. Our national existence is at stake here. As citizens of the United States of America we are like a family that quarrels and fights bitterly within until such time as the enemy is at the door except in this case we have already invited them into the house. How many of the unknown visitors, illegal immigrants and foreign religious establishments are predatory? How many are established and supported by foreign governments or radical groups? Is there a plan for jihad in America? How should the American family deal with the threat? If the visitors come with a sword in its hand, the family forgets its quarrels and fights as one against the people who want to possess its land.
The current war is much more subtle than that. In an atmosphere of political correctness and international civility, the USA is at a terrible disadvantage; the war is not threatening enough to distract us from our own struggles. The war is seen as over there, and we should get ourselves out. However, when the Islamic visitors, or immigrants, come to our door they have their eyes on everything in the house, they are more like jewel thieves than vandals. There is no sword in their hand but a plan in the making a war of public diplomacy. They seek to change our current society into one reflecting the nature of their homeland. We cannot have an enemy within our borders left free to destroy us, whether slowly or quickly.
“We The People” must TAKE ACTION to support the sanctity of our national borders and the continued existence of the United States of America, her Constitution and Constitutional government, and the strengthening and restoration of what's left of Judeo-Christian Culture.
Likewise, “We The People” must oppose all international cross-border efforts by Islam, whose ultimate goal is one world Ummah, requiring the systematic destruction of all other religions.
“We The People” must TAKE ACTION to make this so called cultural bridge to close the gap of understanding between East and West a two way bridge. “We The People” fully expect that all Islamic organizations would translate US History, our constitution and declaration of Independence into there own languages and make provision for distribution of those documents into the areas of the world from which they came.
Fear must not be allowed to rule our decisions. I do not fear Islam and Islam should not fear the USA and Christianity.
I just don't understand how our legislators can still figure that they need more revenue to balance the budget or need to raise the debt ceiling. Has anyone ever suggested to Congress or the President to cut the pay of all government employees including but not limited to Senators, Representatives, Supreme Court Judges, ATF employees, Housing Administration employees, the care takers of all Federal workers, the White House cooking staff, etc., etc.
They also need to start funding their own 401k accounts instead of taxpayer funded pensions. Not to mention also that they should be also sharing in the cost of their own healthcare coverage.
They do not need to cut entitlement programs. They do need to cut many of their programs that were used as payback for election funding.
Who died and made the USA the moral police of the world. Let's bring back our troops from the wars and quit spending millions of dollars overseas. Along these same lines why are we still sending aid to these underdeveloped countries when we have such a debt crisis on our own hands?
