Don’t Get Your Tax Advice from Robert Gibbs
Posted by: | CommentsRecently the Obama administration unveiled a plan to reduce the charitable contribution deduction for people earning above $250,ooo per year. The plan is to reduce the deduction from 35% to 28% and would raise an estimated $318 billion to go into Obama’s proposed $634 billion reserve fund for reforming health care.
Republicans are obviously opposed to this, but even CEOs from non-profit organizations are upset over it as well. Why? Because the contributions their organizations depend on would likely decrease as a result. It’s common sense that reducing the incentive to make charitable contributions will lead to fewer charitable contributions. Duh! No rocket scientist needed to figure that one out! Read More→
The Comedy of Man-Made Global Warming
Posted by: | CommentsIt’s a little cold out today, so while my SUV is warming up I thought it would be the perfect time to post a quick comment and a hilarious video about global warming. First off, I’m not a scientist and I’m not Al Gore, the global warming crusader who travels by private jet and SUV. By the way, Gore’s education is not in global climatology but journalism and law instead (rolls eyes). Anyway, what I am is a man with a little common sense and my common sense tells me this global warming “crisis” is nothing but a liberal scare tactic to rid the world of fossil fuel consumption and the evil corporations who profit from it.
The first bit of common sense to consider is that accurate methods of measuring temperature have only been around for around 300 years and mankind has only been tracking average global temps for around 150 years. Now, we weren’t around when the Earth was formed so none of us really know exactly how old it is, but if you can believe our scientists (and I’m not saying you can), it is around 4.5 billion years old. With those figures in mind, how in the Sam Hill can you call a 150 year trend out of 4.5 billion years a good scientific sample? Now, the global alarmists will say no, no, no…we have ways to take ancient ice samples and see what the temperature was thousands of years ago. I call it hogwash. You might be able to get an estimate (and I emphasize might), but you won’t get an accurate temperature down to the degree. Read More→
The Hypocrisy of James Carville and the Democrats
Posted by: | CommentsWith the economy tanking and government spending skyrocketing to its highest point in history, it seems the Democrats have nothing better to do than attack conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh. Why? Because they need to take the attention off of the mess they are in and they don’t have George Bush, Dick Cheney or Newt Gingrich anymore. Rush is now the target of choice. A few weeks back, he made a comment that he hoped President Obama would fail. In context, he said that if Obama’s policies were to remake America and push his own agenda of socialism, then he wanted the president to fail. The comment has created a huge backlash from the mainstream media, doing just what the Democrats wanted…to take the focus off the huge increase in spending they are cramming down our throats. In their righteousness, they have all been clamoring over the fact that no American should ever wish to see their president fail. Read More→
Who the heck is Shawn Swisher? I am a man who believes America is truly a great country. I believe we need to return to the Constitution and the Christian principles this country was founded on. I believe we must protect and preserve our freedoms, or we will most definitely lose them. I believe left wing liberals are a bunch of loons. I am a conservative... join me in the revolution!
