"When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." - Benjamin Franklin;
"And when politicians find that honor and character matter less than buying votes and a constituency, that too will herald the end of the Constitution. When that happens we must work tirelessly to change their minds, or their occupation!" - Hoping The Blind Will See

New Republic: GOP Will Impeach Obama

Thursday, 14 Oct 2010
If Republicans win control of the House, they will impeach President Obama, according to Jonathan Chait of The New Republic. “They won’t do it right away. And they won’t succeed in removing Obama -- you need 67 Senate votes,” Chait writes. “But if Obama wins a second term, the House will vote to impeach him before he leaves office.”

As evidence, he cites Rep. Darrell Issa’s, R-Calif., remarks that the Joe Sestak scandal was an impeachable offense. The White House dangled a job possibility to Democratic Pennsylvania Senate candidate Sestak if he would withdraw from the primary against the White House’s favored candidate Arlen Specter. Sestak didn’t do it, and he beat Specter.

“Should Republicans win control of the House, Issa would bring his hair-trigger finger to the chairmanship of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee,” Chait writes. “The Sestak pseudo-scandal disappeared because there was no process to drive the story forward. Had Issa been running the Oversight Committee, it would have been the subject of hearings and subpoenas.”

Mr. President, Congress, Can You Hear Us Yet?


Listen! Do you hear it? Do you hear the rumbling of thousands, perhaps millions, of feet trudging over the ground? Can you hear the soft whisperings of freedom being carried on the wind? The jingle of coins carried in pockets, as the masses prepare to move? The thunder of caravans and convoys as they traverse this great land? Listen well, Mr. President. Listen well, Senators and House Representatives. And heed what you hear...

A 1% Transaction Tax

Here's the Bill, and where it stands in the legislative process.

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-4646

On the surface, it may look like a good deal. Let's take a look...

If you make $4000.00 a month, are paid twice monthly, and have direct deposit, you will incur a tax of $40.00 every month for that deposit. If you write checks to pay monthly bills and expenses of $3000.00 you will pay an additional $30.00 of tax. If you take the remaining $1000 and transfer it to your savings account, you will incur another $10.00 tax. So on your $4000.00 per month income, you will pay $80.00 in tax.

Now the administration is going to try to sell this by telling you that the income tax will be "phased out" over the next 5 years. Do you really think that will happen? When they told us that we would incur an "income tax" of 1/2% on only the first $1400 of income in order to sell that tax, did they stick to their word? Probably the people who said it did, but subsequent administrations did not. Nor can we believe subsequent administrations will not renege on this "promise". 

And what about transactions in your 401K? Will they be affected? Yep! One day you gain, the next you lose, and all the while a "transaction fee" is being assessed. What a windfall for the government there, and a potentially substantial loss of retirement income over the course years for you.

The Bill is written to include this text:

IMPOSITION OF TRANSACTION FEE.


‘(a) In General- There is hereby imposed on every specified transaction a fee in an amount equal to 1 percent of the amount of such transaction.

‘(b) Specified Transaction- For purposes of this chapter--

‘(1) IN GENERAL- The term ‘specified transaction’ means any transaction that uses a payment instrument, including any check, cash, credit card, transfer of stock, bonds, or other financial instrument.

‘(2) TRANSACTION- The term ‘transaction’ includes retail and wholesale sales, purchases of intermediate goods, and financial and intangible transactions.

So not only are they looking to change the tax code to incorporate a national "sales" tax, they are also going after money unassociated with any sale, as described in the first paragraph of this post. Yeah, let's just open our wallets and give them free reign, and once we do, how long will it be before those "transaction taxes" are raised to 5%, 10% or 15%? The government knows no fiscal restraint. Taking our money without our consent must not be allowed. With a national sales tax, our consent is implicit when we decide to purchase something. With a "transaction tax" that is not the case.

I say yes to a national sales tax, or a flat tax, but no to a transaction tax!

Saving Freedom

 

I suggest that if you'd like a look at where America is headed, and why, you pick up a copy of this book by Jim DeMint. There's some awfully good political insider insight into where we are, how we got here, what we're up against in terms of reversing our direction, and it's all written in a very readable style. Here are a few quotes from the book...

"Socialists are now marching under the banner of a new secular-progressive style of freedom; the freedom from responsibility, the freedom to behave destructively without moral judgement, the freedom from risk and failure, the freedom from want, the freedom from religion, and the freedom to have material equality with those who work harder and accomplish more."

"Few in America and in Congress would call themselves socialists. They believe they are liberals, progressives, Democrats, compassionate conservatives, moderate Republicans, or obedient religious adherents. They are good people with good intentions, and they would be deeply offended if anyone called them socialists. Yet they believe almost every need, cause, or activity should be supported, regulated, or controlled by the federal government. Their worldview is packaged with compassion, tolerance, fairness, and enough good intentions to 'pave the road to serfdom'."

"By the end of WWII, the country possessed nearly two-thirds of the world's gold reserves and more than half its entire manufacturing capacity. In 1947, the United States by itself accounted for one-third of world exports. It's foreign trade balance was comfortably in the black. As measured by value, its exports more than doubled its imports.The dollar had displaced the British pound sterling as the global reserve currency... Among the world's producers of oil, steel, airplanes, automobiles, and electronics, it ranked first in each category."

So what happened, you asked? Basically the sixty's and seventy's happened. We've had a negative trade balance every year since 1975!! Have you heard THAT before? It's all in the book. Along with a playbook to recapture our freedom, and possibly our greatness once again! Pick it up!

Just Thinking...

I wonder how many "shovel ready" jobs will show up in the next two weeks in states where Dems are getting their butts handed to them?

Since the progressives have infiltrated both the Democrat and Republican Parties, and are hell bent on driving us towards socialism at least, where's the downside to voting for an O'Donnell, Angle, Whitman, McMahon, Fiorina or Miller?

When will we hear obama start spinning his first two years this way, "Doing what I did was the only way I could wake up America. I knew it would never fly, but it got the country engaged politically, and you've gotta admit, I woke 'em up. And we're better for it!"

Who will be the last RINO left in office when all is said and done?

Has the Democratic Party been unmasked enough, so that everyone knows it no longer represents a liberal segment of the country, but a socialist segment. And if so, are we seeing the end of that Party as we knew it? Will they rebrand themselves the Progressive Party?

How many people do you know personally who will end up NOT voting on November 2nd? Most of us would scream "NONE!" Let's hope we're not surprised.

Mirror, Mirror

 

Maybe today, but certainly by November 1st, the Democrats will look in the mirror... and see Republicans staring back at them. That's where we stand politically. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are mere reflections of each other. When one party is in power, the other points in the mirror and says. "It's them!" And vice versa. For decades the progressive agenda has been advanced by both parties, and the "establishment" inherent in both parties, and the party machinery itself, is designed to distract every day Americans from seeing the truth. Well the truth is out. It has been exposed by the Tea Party, and all the citizens who have woken up to the things that movement has exposed.

We need to start teaching each other, and our children and grandchildren, that Party labels mean nothing in contemporary politics. What does matter is ideology. And you can choose from two, currently. Progressive or conservative. There seems to be no other option. If you choose anything but the conservative ideology, you are choosing to send the country further and further towards socialism. Because without a hard stand this group of progressives who run our government, our educational systems, and our media will not stand down. They will feel emboldened and empowered because people will have failed to take the necessary stand against them.

So it makes no difference what your political affiliation is. What really matters is in what direction do you want the country to move? If you consider yourself a liberal but still love your country and don't want to see socialism-lite, or socialism-pure at some point in the future, you owe it to yourself to vote as conservatively as possible in this election. There really is no other choice.

Do the right thing. Love your country. Honor the memories and lives of those who have died and sacrificed to give you a life in the greatest country on earth - possibly the greatest culture in history - by voting to keep the founding principles of the country intact. And don't abandon your responsibility to get out and VOTE in every election!

NOW YOU KNOW WHY MOST PEOPLE THINK CONGRESS ISN'T PERFORMING!

It's because our Government has been infiltrated by what has all the earmarks of a Communist Espionage Ring. - Commieblaster.com

http://www.commieblaster.com/progressives/index.html?v=zCaJ8uYEY1U

http://www.commieblaster.com/

There is a ton of useful information here! Check out your state, and see who's who in Congress - just in case you don't already know. Any wonder we're in the state we're in? And they keep duping us by playing one party against the other - while progressives RUN both. Start thinking along the lines of Conservative vs. Progressive. ASK anyone running for office where they stand in relation to the Constitution. If they won't answer, or they claim it is a "living" document - don't vote for them. They are required to take an oath, make sure you pin them down as to whether they believe in the oath they will be swearing to.

Communist, Socialist, Muslim-Sympathetic

It really doesn't matter what term you use to describe obama. There are others, in addition to the three listed, which would describe him adequately as well. Using any one of them comes down to the same thing though - obama is anti-American, pure and simple. A fact clearly illustrated by his words and actions. Impeachment can't come quick enough for me. I trust the new Congress will look closely at that option come January.
