Well, they should have told the Brady people that before they used it. (more…)

“You know we have ten years notice on this fiscal deadline. And you know when they decided to address it? Ten years, one hour, and thirty-six minutes is when they finally decided to come up with a bill. They bring the bill to the floor. Which, I never saw the bill. I’m not sure there was ever a bill printed. But, I was told it was somewhere online at 1:36 AM and we voted at 1:39 AM. This is no way to run a government.“
CONFIRMED – The Senate was forced to vote on New Years Day, at 2:00am, for the “Fiscal Cliff Bill” exactly THREE, count them, 3 minutes after receiving it. That means they had exactly 1.16 seconds to read each of the 154 pork-loaded pages, and analyze the “budget score“. (Bill pdf) (more…)
“The single most popular proposal we had was to reduce taxes on working people, and lift the higher rate. Let’s give an incentive to work, and let’s ask the most fortunate in our society, including me and you, to do our fair share. And we ought to do that again.”
– Al Gore, Nov. 2012 (link)

But apparently Al Gore thinks all the One Percenters’ EXCEPT HIM, should pay the “fair share” schtick….. (New York Times) … Al Jazeera did not disclose the purchase price, but people with direct knowledge of the deal pegged it at around $500 million, indicating a $100 million payout for Mr. Gore, who owned 20 percent of Current. Mr. Gore and his partners were eager to complete the deal by Dec. 31, lest it be subject to higher tax rates that took effect on Jan. 1, according to several people who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. But the deal was not signed until Wednesday. (link)

Look, we have documented CNN agendas’ exhaustively.
And that is just a few from recent events. However, I think CNN might have just outdone themselves on this one courtesy of Ashleigh Banfield and Roland Martin. Just watch, we know it’s painful, but watch….. (more…)

#1 OK…. Here comes some of those Obama care taxes on Jan 1, 2013. Soon every purchase you make, there will be more taxes. On 103.98 I was charged 8.58 for Texas state taxes. And then Obama care medical tax another 2.39. So the more you spend , the more goes to the “so called free Obama care”.
Here is my best non-physician explanation, that reconciles the conflicting reports. Hugo Chavez appears to have spinal metastases of the cancer. This is the VERY end stage, like “very”, as in essentially immediate death without mechanical intervention to prolong life.
The base of the brain (top of the spine) is where the respiratory functions are located. With cancer in the spine there is no way to reverse the effect, and rapid tumor growth occurs. Breathing ceases.
Using a mechanical respirator prolongs the physical life, but it is a place from no return. In essence he is dead, but heart function continues with blood flow supported by breathing from mechanical means. So reports of his death are semi-accurate and simultaneously the reports of him being comatose are also accurate. Why prolong his physical death? (see below).
(summary) He is Clinically Dead , and will not be officially announced till after the 10th because in Venezuela’s constitution it requires an election in the event the elected official is not able to be inaugurated in Jan 10th.
Sorry for weak translation but the original article is in Spanish (link)
VENEZULA – Hugo Chavez entered in recent days in an induced coma , with very weak vital signs, maintained through the artificial[..]instance procured the Havana hospital where he was admitted. Sources consulted by ABC said Monday that it had scheduled a next power of artificial support extending the life of the Venezuelan president . That disconnect, with results expected to die, could occur at any time. (more…)
I am tempted, VERY tempted, to take a trip down to DC and challenge New Jersey, New York Republicans on this issue on camera….. weighing logistics and timing, but the vote is Friday…..
Chris Christie is not, repeat NOT, a conservative – He is a progressive. He just wailed, screamed, protested, begged, belittled and held out his tin cup on TV for federal money to bail out New Jersey from Hurricane Sandy. He continually used the term New Jersey “innocent victims”… well, exactly what other kind of victim is there?
You.Must.Watch.This.Video….. Please.
First, there is a big difference between feeling empathy and sympathy for those in the affected areas, and seeing lives impacted by the overwhelming force of mother nature. I feel sorry for them to have felt the brunt of such a storm, and now for so many to have to rebuild their lives. But to watch people begging the federal government to “make them whole” is the ultimate in-your-face nanny statist expectation.
Since when does the federal government have a role in mitigating risk and underwriting personal decisions? (more…)
In case you were wondering what “quickly means” in the mind of President Obama allow me to give you a few recent (last 48 hrs) examples, you decide:
#1 ) The Senate was forced to vote on New Years Day, at 2:00am, for the “Fiscal Cliff Bill” exactly THREE, count them, 3 minutes after receiving it. That means they had exactly 1.16 seconds to read each of the 154 pork-loaded pages, and analyze the “budget score“. (Bill pdf)
#2) From the Golf Course, by Dictatorial Fiat, President Obama, through the Department of Homeland Security, granted immediate amnesty to current illegal aliens effective March 4th. […] illegal immigrants who can demonstrate that time apart from an American spouse, child or parent would create “extreme hardship,” can start the application process for a legal visa without leaving the U.S. […] The change is the latest move by the administration to use its executive powers to revise immigration procedures without Congress passing a law. PREVIOUSLY, In August, the Obama administration launched a program to halt the deportation of young people brought to the U.S. unlawfully as children.
So what exactly do you expect with his recent promise of “fundamental change” for gun ownership against the backdrop of a new promise to “move quickly”?….
“Something fundamental in America has to change,” said Obama, who visited on December 16 with families of victims of the Newtown, Connecticut, school shootings. (link)
The president said Sunday he will put forth a proposal next year to change firearm laws. [we now know he plans to have it completed by the end of January – his first month]
