I wonder what the liberals would think of this?

Justice Thomas recently defended the Supreme Court ruling about campaign finance reform.

ustice Thomas responded to several questions from students at Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, Fla., concerning the campaign finance case, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. By a 5-to-4 vote, with Justice Thomas in the majority, the court ruled last month that corporations had a First Amendment right to spend money to support or oppose political candidates.

“I found it fascinating that the people who were editorializing against it were The New York Times Company and The Washington Post Company,” Justice Thomas said. “These are corporations.”

The part of the McCain-Feingold law struck down in Citizens United contained an exemption for news reports, commentaries and editorials. But Justice Thomas said that reflected a legislative choice rather than a constitutional principle.

“Go back and read why Tillman introduced that legislation,” Justice Thomas said, referring to Senator Benjamin Tillman. “Tillman was from South Carolina, and as I hear the story he was concerned that the corporations, Republican corporations, were favorable toward blacks and he felt that there was a need to regulate them.”

Well I guess I shouldn't be surprised Democrats support a law that was originally introduced to hurt blacks. I think it is a very sad thing it took over 100 years to repeal this law. But it's hard to over turn corrupt law when the liberals stand in the way.

Universal Health Care is so great in Canada

The Newfoundland Premier is coming to America to have his heart surgery.

Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams will undergo heart surgery later this week in the United States.

Deputy premier Kathy Dunderdale confirmed the treatment at a news conference Tuesday, but would not reveal the location of the operation or how it would be paid for.

But I thought Universal Health Care was the best thing since slice bread? All I've heard from the Socialists here is how great Canada's system is. So why would the Premier come here for surgery?

I guess the truth comes out when some one of "importance" has a health care emergency.

Imagine if a Republican...

Like Karl Rove, when he was Bush's adviser, or any other elected Republican called Obama supporters "f*cking retarded". Imagine what the media would be saying? They would be going on and on about how insensitive and uncaring the Republican was. The media would scream, Special Olympics and other organizations would protest until they resign. But not because Rahm Emanual, Obama's Cheif of Staff, was the one who said it. Only Sarah Palin is calling for his resignation.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is calling on the White House to fire Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for using the word "retarded" in a strategy session last year.

In a posting on her Facebook page Monday, Palin blasted Emanuel for calling an idea from some of President Obama's supporters "f---ing retarded" during an August meeting with liberal groups and White House aides.

The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Emanuel made the remarks after some participants said they planned to air ads attacking conservative Democrats who were critical of Obama's health care agenda.

Palin, whose youngest child, Trig, has Down Syndrome, wrote that Emanuel's expletive was "heartbreaking" and said his "degrading scolding" has been "completely ignored by the White House."

"Just as we'd be appalled if any public figure of Rahm’s stature ever used the "N-word" or other such inappropriate language, Rahm’s slur on all God's children with cognitive and developmental disabilities -- and the people who love them -- is unacceptable, and it’s heartbreaking," wrote Palin.

"Rahm is known for his caustic, crude references about those with whom he disagrees, but his recent tirade against participants in a strategy session was such a strong slap in many American faces that our president is doing himself a disservice by seeming to condone Rahm’s recent sick and offensive tactic," she continued.

Emanuel reportedly apologized for the remarks in a phone call last week to Tim Shriver, CEO of the Special Olympics, which has launched a campaign to end use of the "R" word.

I don't think Rahm should resign over this. But it is just funny that if a Republican would have said the same thing everyone in the media would be calling for their resignation, if not worse.

Innocent until proven guilty?

If we are giving rights to terrorists and giving them civilian trials than how can Robert Gibbs, Obama's press secretary, say we are going to execute Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. I want him executed so that isn't the problem with me. The problem is if we are going to treat them like citizens and give them rights won't this influence public opinion and then they won't be able to get a fair trial?

The Obama administration said Sunday it would consider local opposition when deciding where to hold Sept. 11 terror trials and pledged to seek swift justice for the professed mastermind of the attacks.

"Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is going to meet justice and he's going to meet his maker," said President Barack Obama's press secretary, Robert Gibbs. "He will be brought to justice and he's likely to be executed for the heinous crimes that he committed in killing and masterminding the killing of 3,000 Americans. That you can be sure of."

It is kind of hard to have a "fair" trial, like they want to do, if judgment has already been made. This is why they should be tried in a military tribunal where everything will be done in secret. It won't be made a public spectacle. And not only that it will be hundred of millions of dollars cheaper.

Obama still trying to stimulate the economy

By raising taxes on the middle class...

The Obama administration's plan to cut more than $1 trillion from the deficit over the next decade relies heavily on so-called backdoor tax increases that will result in a bigger tax bill for middle-class families.

In the 2010 budget tabled by President Barack Obama on Monday, the White House wants to let billions of dollars in tax breaks expire by the end of the year -- effectively a tax hike by stealth.

While the administration is focusing its proposal on eliminating tax breaks for individuals who earn $250,000 a year or more, middle-class families will face a slew of these backdoor increases.

The targeted tax provisions were enacted under the Bush administration's Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. Among other things, the law lowered individual tax rates, slashed taxes on capital gains and dividends, and steadily scaled back the estate tax to zero in 2010.

If the provisions are allowed to expire on December 31, the top-tier personal income tax rate will rise to 39.6 percent from 35 percent. But lower-income families will pay more as well: the 25 percent tax bracket will revert back to 28 percent; the 28 percent bracket will increase to 31 percent; and the 33 percent bracket will increase to 36 percent. The special 10 percent bracket is eliminated.

That's a great way to stimulate the economy by making people pay more in taxes and have less to spend. Just brilliant.

Obama's going to raise energy costs in the middle of a recession

The brilliance of the Democrats astounds me. If you raise taxes on a company they are just going to raise the price on whatever they are selling. That's elementary economics. Common sense a 5 year old should know. But yet Obama wants to end tax cuts to all the energy companies. Aren't the people already suffering enough? It doesn't matter that people are already stuggling to pay their oil, gas and electric bills. But now Obama is going to raise their taxes and in doing so going to raise the price people have to pay.

The White House calls for the end of nearly $40 billion in tax beaks for oil, gas and coal companies in its budget proposal released on Monday.

The tax effort is sure to prompt outcry from industry groups, which have long argued that ending the subsidies will stymie investments in domestic energy production.

The fiscal year 2011 budget plan calls for repealing $38.8 billion worth of tax breaks for oil, natural gas and coal companies over a decade, according to the White House.

President Barack Obama’s first budget plan a year ago called for cutting $31.5 billion in oil and gas industry incentives, including a repeal of the industry’s ability to claim a lucrative domestic manufacturing tax break.

But I wouldn't expect anything less from a socialist like Obama. The more the people suffer the more people like him like it. The harder it gets the more people will become dependent on the government. Once everyone needs to government for survival Democrats will never lose an election.

Guess which Democrat said this?

Sounds like Al Gore, but who is it?

"The effects of global warming have touched every continent. Drought and deserts are spreading, while from the other floods and hurricanes unseen before the previous decades have now become frequent,"

Washington's rejection of the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gases and painted the United States as in the thrall of major corporations that he said "are the true criminals against the global climate" and are to blame for the global economic crisis, driving "tens of millions into poverty and unemployment."

"The world is held hostage by major corporations, which are pushing it to the brink," he said. "World politics are not governed by reason but by the force and greed of oil thieves and warmongers and the cruel beasts of capitalism."

To stop global warming, he called for the "wheels of the American economy" to be brought to a halt. "This is possible ... if the peoples of the world stop consuming American goods."

"We must also stop dealings in the dollar and get rid of it as soon as possible," he said. "I know that this has great consequences and grave ramifications, but it is the only means to liberate humanity from slavery and dependence on America."

Sounds an awful lot like the Democratic talking points. But the big question still needs to be asked? Who actually said all that?

Wasn't Al Gore, wasn't Barney Frank, wasn't any DC Democrat.

It Was Osama Bin Laden.

Maybe he should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. That's the same environmental nonsense Al Gore spouted off to win it. It's pretty sad that even Bin Laden knows the way to destroy America is to attack our economy. But yet that is the same thing the Democrats are trying to do with cap and trade and Universal Health Care.
