Budget Graph

I know, it must be “graph day.” What can I tell you. Here’s another one from the Wall Street Journal via Freedom Works, based on CBO data. Note that Obama’s budget relies on taking money out of the economy in the form of tax increases. Those are your future jobs and raises unless you’d like to the Welfare life of equal squalor under socialst rule–where everyone is equal (equally miserable).

Great Plan Dick

Dick Durbin, Richard, Rick, Ricky, Dicky, Dickard, The Dickster Durbin is suggesting an intervention for his state of Illinois. Apparently the tax and spender state implemented an internet sales tax on retailers. They were thinking that it might help them with their budget problem; I guess they left Terie “Billion Dollar Deficit” Norelli in charge of spending over there as well.

Pay As You Throw Had To Go

The Merrimack Town Council bent to the will of the voters and scrapped plans to institute a pay as you throw program. That would have required residents to buy special bags for trash at $1.00 or $1.50 per bag, and you could only use those bags at the town dump.

School Voucher Kids Do Better

I Tweeted this earlier, but since I’m short on time, it is more than Post-Worthy. Apparently school vouchers result in a higher graduation rate at a lower cost to taxpayers–

Green Choice

…this is a tax that can increase without ever seeing a public hearing. No one will testify. No one you vote for will be held to account for the tax increase. You will just pay more.

On Missing Chris Matthews

You should read the entire post by Greg Opelka here (Breitbart’s Big Journalism.com), because it is about the left wings tunnel vision on the racism narrative, but before you do that I wanted to share a snipped from that post that borders on brilliant. It is the kind of writing I aspire to (missing miserably and often) so when I find it I have to share it.

Reverend Jackboot!?

UCCThe left always considers any comment by clergy, in the secular affairs of state, an affront to imagined Constitutional separations unless the remarks support their positions.  Such is the case with the Reverend Gary M. Schulte of the United Church of Christ (UCC).  With a fusion of left wing talking points and liturgical flair, he leapt the imagined Jeffersonian separation of State and Church, to express his objection to the budget passed by the New Hampshire House.

If taxpayers do not pony up to the government, in the form of a larger state budget, people will suffer.  The old, the weak, the children….But we’ve no idea just how much of your money Reverend Gary will need you to give to the Government to end the suffering, nor can we ever.  Distress always expands to meet the supply of publicly funded services available to reduce it. We just need more even though no amount is ever enough; just look at the failed states of California, Michigan and New York whose pursuit of social justice with taxpayer dollars has made them so bankrupt that they no longer have the money to care for much of anything at all.

But the UCC does not seem interested in that risk.  They are just another myopic Christian/Marxist fusion church that seems willing to advocate state power to achieve warm and fuzzy ends.  It is Social Justice, which is essentially communism.  And communism, being a godless secular faith all its own, has no issue with polluting and then subjugating institutions like the UCC to achieve its ends, even converting or subverting their purposes to advance the growth of statism.  They started with the language, which UCC has embraced, then moved on to policy, which they now advocate. And now we have Reverend Gary, who is probably a great guy who means well, rent seeking for the left wing agenda, with the full power and faith of the UCC behind him, asking politicians to spend more money on government, as if government is the answer.

But if you saw the UCC web site, you’d not be at all surprised.

No Labels – Why Are All Their “Leaders” Leftists?

No Labels, the latest of many left wing funded efforts to drag the right into the middle and the middle leftward, is looking for you to help them spread their message. But before you drop your values, abandon your principles, and jump into the center, you might want to know something about their latest pitchman, or should I say woman, Catherine “Kiki” McLean.

Shea-Porter Want’s It Back

its mine!Nancy Pelosi’s mad hand puppet, the Socialist-progressive democrat Carol Seiu Porter, has just formally announced the obvious.  No, not that she is a Pelosi marionette; she announced that she is going to run for congress in 2012.  This is not surprising, not breaking, not even interesting, except to those who like easy blog material of which Shea porter is a redolent horn of plenty. Porter is blogging gold. Better than Biden, who is a total ass-hat but who at least has thoughts he can call his own, such as they are. 

The announcement, we were talking about that right, is anti-climactic. It was inevitable given that Carol Che-Porter has not yet, to the best of my knowledge, called Congressman Guinta to congratulate him on his win 162 days ago.  

That means, in my mind, (aside from being a sore loser of historical magnitude) that she has yet to mentally concede the seat she lost back in November.  (D-Denial)  (She is even now, likely casting meaningless votes with her party in some secret Pelosi shrine in the back of her bedroom closet.) But to win back her “birth-right” Kandidate Karol Kannot hide in her progressive bivouac and hope to attract more than the devoted leftists.  She needs to engage the independents to get enough voters to actually win, and will have to face hard questions in abundance about her record and its consequences on the country.

So the Q and A with the people she called ‘tea-baggers’ may not go well.  But her feeling of entitlement remains, the arrogance is not gone from that sour puss, and she never stopped thinking she was still the congressman from CD-1. So she is compelled to run–if for no other reason than that she can’t get the lifetime, taxpayer funded pension and benefits unless she gets back into office for one more term.
