Bart Stupak retiring.
No suprise there, is it?
Asshole.
Now we know why he folded.
No principles, no moral center, no firm ground upon which to stand.
He has no reason to waste his time in a campaign, now.
One might wonder what the inducement was to make him fold on Obamacare Health Care Legislation and destroy his carreer? Must have been something valuable.
Notice the similarities:
Quote:
“Iceland’s first ever left-wing government came to power last year after the previous right-wing administration collapsed following a wave of protests blaming it for the state of the economy”.
and:
“I don’t want my daughter to have to pay for this,” she said. “I just have such a bad feeling about what’s happening here.”
With the growing debt load the Obama Administration (and, to be fair, our congress) has placed on this countries citizens, How long until we see the same trend here?
It is already happening in Michigan and elsewhere.
The rest of us pay the whole bill…Roads, military, education, government programs, all the departments of whatever…
47% of the households in this country pay ZERO taxes. Zero. Nada, NONE.
Many of those get “entitlements”.
Meaning that they are net consumers, not producers.
We have a system in which “the top 10 percent of earners — households making an average of $366,400 in 2006 — paid about 73 percent of the income taxes collected by the federal government.”
The other 43% of us pay the other 27% of the bill for the country.
We need a system wherein every person is charged a minimum dollar amount to pay for things, then perhaps a tax based on wages.
This sort of inequality is unacceptable.
Let us talk about “fair share”.
And not in the way that the liberals refer to it.
YMMV
This document, however, says differently.
I hope the legislators in Indiana will do likewise.
Go HERE.
Seriously. Take the time (4.5 minutes) to listen and watch.
Then do something. Do what he suggests.
“The price of freedom is eternal vigilance”
“The price of liberty is eternal vigilance”
Mr. Whittle is right. We have been complacent and we haven’t been vigilant.
And the socialists have taken advantage of our laziness.
I, for one, do not intend to let them win, I will not stand by and allow them to destroy this country and its ideals which so many have given their lives for, in order that I could enjoy the fruits of their sacrifice, and under which freedoms those socialists work to destroy.
Watch.
Think.
Decide.
Act.
Or remember this day when your freedoms have gone away.
And you chose to let that happen.

earthquake.

problem.
See here.
See, the issue is that you must be prepared. Not only with food and water, but also a means to defend it, and your family. This means acquiring a weapon and ammunition, and learning how to use it.
After the crisis has happened is much too late. Too late to acquire the preps you need. To late to acquire the knowledge you need.
Preparation is a state of mind.

And we are rapidly approaching that point…..
Via Big Dicks Place I bring you this:
(ok, I stole it, but it is good….)
As Dick says…It seems to be working well:
Mr. Obama and the socialists democrats seems to be playing right into their hands…
Soon we will be like Greece.
ETA: other opinion HERE
Seems that random shootings took place in/near Times Square in NYC today.
Since getting a permit to carry is nearly impossible, and since al forearms must have ballistic information and a fired case on file, I am sure that the guns (which Must be legal, right????) will be traced quickly.
Or then again, since the gun laws are not followed by criminals, maybe not.
It is cases like these in NYC and other highly 2nd amendment restricted cities, that show the fallacy nof the Brady Foundation and other anti gun groups.
Via Pages of Fun, we have this:
Y’know the moment between the time the drill breaks and the nanosecond before the remainder of the drill digs the still rotating (but now jagged) flutes into the flesh of your left thumb? You just know it’s gonna be bad.
Or so I’ve heard…..
