Obamma plans to allow tax cuts from the Bush administration expire. By this act he claims socialist innocence by not actually committing the act of raising taxes (on the people that don't hit $250,000.00 per year).
How does allowing tax cuts to expire not count as raising taxes on all the people Obamma claims he wont raise taxes on. By the act of allowing tax cuts to expire, doesn't that count as raising them? Does he think we're stupid? Oh yeah, we voted for more government in our lives, I almost forgot. How does reinstating the death tax not count as raising taxes, either? What a liar. Glad I didnt vote for this pinko.
Well I will say this:
I will keep my freedom, my guns, and yes MY money. You can keep the "change"!

So, the Mormons just found out where the line is for separation of church and state! They spent 25 million on the gay marriage ban in California and now they will be stripped of church status.
Why cant they and other religions (Christians) see that the very thing they count on to operate (separation of church and state) is the very first thing they try and usurp. Anyone who votes based on religious bias is guilty of this. You know you wouldn't sit still for one second of it if the rolls were reversed. Let your god judge and quit forcing people who do not believe as you to live like you. After 8 years in Provo, I am dang glad the Mormons are the first to get hit. Living there as a non Mormon was like living under Muslim Sharia Law. There was social and financial penalty for not being Mormon. Couldn't happen to nicer folks. ROFL!!!!
Without separation of church and state the church's nor the states can run. It's bad enough all war comes from religion and it's horrible that non Christians have to live like Christians in this country.

He always sends a loud message. A loud message that he is not to be trusted. To the civilians and Mesa PD he put in danger yesterday, please know that I never voted for him. He is a LIAR. I'm sure Mesa PD has gotten the message that Sheriff Joe cannot be trusted, as have the civilians that were in the path. When will the rest of you?

Here is the link that I got this from .... http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=dw-toughestsheri
ff013108&prov=yhoo&type=lgns
please read through this and see how wacked out this really is!
GLENDALE, Ariz. – If it comes to it, the oft-proclaimed "America's Toughest Sheriff" says he has a pair of pink underwear, a bologna sandwich and a spot in a dirty old prison tent for Tom Brady, Eli Manning or, most certainly, Paris Hilton.
Maricopa County – which includes much of metropolitan Phoenix – is host to the Super Bowl, one of the nation's most decadent party weekends where, sometimes, celebrities and even athletes find themselves on the wrong side of the law.
Around here the law means Joe Arpaio, the tough talking, tougher-ruling sheriff who would like nothing better than to make an example out of a high-profile criminal and give them the kind of treatment you might expect in what used to be the wild, wild West.
So for the football player who might get into a bar fight or the starlet who might drive drunk, consider yourself warned.
"(They'll) be treated the same as anyone," Arpaio said Wednesday. "Let the players know that. And Paris better take a limousine. Somebody better tell her that she is in Maricopa County, not Los Angeles County.
ADVERTISEMENT
"It's a tough county to be in if you do something wrong. Especially the way I run the law enforcement."
Arpaio has been sheriff here since 1992 and runs his jail like no one else, his most famous policies generating worldwide attention. They include:
When he noticed that inmates kept stealing jail-issued underwear, he dyed them all pink in an effort to humiliate male prisoners and cut down on thefts. It worked and he even sells a line of pink underwear to raise money for the sheriff's office.
Rather than serve inmates three square meals a day, Arpaio decided to save money and return to the days when the term "prison food" meant something.
"We don't give them breakfast anymore or lunch, we give them brunch," he said. "They get a bologna sandwich."
Inmates have said it is beyond bad. Arpaio noted that no one has starved to death.
Arpaio often says he wants the most populated jail in America. He came up with a solution to overcrowding when he got a hold of some old military tents and had them erected in the parking lot outside one of the county jails.
Thousands of inmates don't stay in traditional cells. Instead, they sleep on cots under the tents (the complex is surrounded by fences) whether the temperature drops near freezing or, as is often the case in the desert, climbs into triple digits.
"We have almost 2,000 people in hot, Korean War tents."
It's enough to make a felon dream of the hole, even before Arpaio pipes in classical or patriotic music. He even put up a giant pink "Vacancy" sign outside Tent City, which now gives tours to curiosity seekers from around the globe.
"I've got room," he noted of the players and party goers. "I'll put them in my celebrity tent."
How is that not a reality show?
In 1995, Arpaio brought back the male chain gang for prisoners and a year later created what he calls, "the only female chain gang in the history of the United States, if not the world."
Wednesday morning, both "Sheriff's DUI Chain Gangs" were picking road side garbage along Glendale Ave. in the shadow of University of Phoenix Stadium, which will host Super Bowl XLII. They were wearing old school black and white striped prison garb and, presumably, pink underwear.
Beside the men's chain gang was a sign reading: "Bowl Fans: Drive and Drink and You'll wear Pink." By the women's gang: "Ladies: Horizontal stripes will make you look fat! So do not drink and drive."
"We want to make the influx of people know that if you come into this county and get arrested and convicted of driving under the influence you are going to the tents and out on the chain gang."
Paris picking trash? Tom eating a bologna brunch?
"We're ready for them," he promised.
Arpaio is 73, a former DEA agent and someone who's dealt with plenty of criticism and even a recall effort for his treatment of inmates and, especially, illegal immigrants. He's controversial, but also popular, elected five times.
"I guess they like their sheriff," he said.
If nothing else, the man is colorful, which makes him perfect to try to contain the sprawling excess of a Super Bowl which features 'round the clock partying, an influx of prostitutes and huge crowds ranging from blue-collar football fans to Hollywood glitz.
While it seems unlikely Brady or Manning will suddenly step out of line, the history of football players breaking the law is fairly lengthy. If during Super Bowl week they tend to head out on the town for some fun and if they get busted this time, there'll be no quick bail or leniency.
What passes for "celebrity justice" here was when Arpaio didn't put a locked up Mike Tyson in the tents last month due to safety concerns. Not Tyson's safety, mind you, the other guys'.
"He has two dangerous weapons: his fists. And also his teeth because he did chew somebody's ear off when boxing a couple of years ago."
As for Hilton, who is in town to host and attend a number of big parties, you get a sense Arpaio wouldn't mind having her slip up.
Last year when overcrowding forced her early release from a Los Angeles County jail on a DUI conviction, he generated headlines by asking she get sent to Tent City.
"They put her on home arrest," he growled. "That would never happen with me. She'll serve every minute. She's in town and if she gets arrested in this county, she'll go to the hot tents if convicted."
She'd probably be fine with the pink underwear, though.

So they want to ban fast food in "certain areas". These certain areas have a high level of government controlled medicine. Does it strike anyone else that the reason why they think they can ban a cheeseburger is becasue the person eating it is on their medicine? Doesn't this show the idealist why the realist doesnt want the governments mitts on our medicine? Yeah in an "ideal" world I guess nobody would have to pay for anything, but you see what the reality is when the ideal is put into policy? This attempt at the ban on the cheeseburger says it all and should secure a vote total of 0 for Obama!

I dont know why Sharpton is crying about this "abortion" of justice. His own dummy-crat buddy Clinton passed the tough on crime bill making the actions of those 3 police officers completely legal. When they gunned down that guy outside of his own bachler party, they were just following procedure outined by the facism in that idealist tough on crime bill. Dont be suprised and dont vote crat.

Pay backs a wench, ain't it?
Nevermind their hatred for the Constitution, their laying down of policy based on ideals instead of reals or 20 years of Political Correctness vs almost 250 years of a country. Their belief in no more "N" word for you, Cracker (SHARPTON). Their idea that I as a full grown adult cannot decide what art is appropriate for myself (PMRC), their idea that the banning of guns will somehow reduce crime (LOL), or the invasion of my bodily privacy their communist health care system will inevitably bring, lets look at the PC corner they have painted themselves into.
Simply put, these 'crats either have to vote against "the black guy" or against "the woman" in order to get "the black guy" or "the woman" through the primarys. I am not a bigot or a shovanist. I am pointing out a huge piece of hilarity that this idealogical contradiction presents to the PC sect of idealist crazy's. This must shake their very core and show them that ideals never will meet reals on any part or scope of the graph.
In short, HA HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
They'll justify it to themselves somehow as they always do, but isnt this funny when thought about?

People that are upset at the Republicans are upset for several reasons:
1) The War (even though if the results were more dramatic they wouldn't be upset...)
2) For the same reasons the likes of the Kennedy's or Chelsey "butt ugly" Clinton will never have need or want of anything.
3) The constant attempts at the globalization of the world through force or amnesty, or the building of super highways that connect Canada and Mexicos problems with us.
People are upset with the "crats" for several reasons as well:
1) The constant attempts at the usurption of the Constitution based on the last 20 years of political correctness (right to prosper, bear arms, speech, etc...)
2) Socialism/Communism resulting in dicator style control over the populous and the ellimination of competition among driven people that want things through an idea that by giving everyone 60% of their livelyhoods and elliminating classes based on what people want to go for they can control you 100% of the time.
3) The constant attempts at the globalization of the world through force or amnesty, or the building of super highways that connect Canada and Mexicos problems with us.
Before anyone gets huffy and starts pointing fingers, these are just basic facts of truth as to why (based on the last two elections) it has been a 50/50 split between dumb and dumber or the lessor of evils based on your own point of view. Don't argue the facts of the Constitutional error of the Patriot act (Republicans fault) when the basic political science platform used to write and pass it was from the Tough On Crime bill (crats fault). As an example, This is the way they (pubs and crats) are. It is obviouse to me who the lessor of evils is, but thats not what I suggest tonight.
Regardless of media black balling or Gulliani's countings on the sheeple nature of the viewing public to succesfully twist this mans words, I ask you to look seriously at the answer to the question of change. His name is Dr. Ron Paul.
The end of The Patriot Act
The end of the IRS
A RESPONSIBLE end to our envolvement in the Middle East.
A common sence approach to the arming of combat veterans that are now our commercial airline pilots (so that a numb nutz with a box cutter cannot get far....)
The end of the invasion of our bodily rights through the end of the Real ID Act.
The end of the Illuminoty's New World Order enslavery and sillyness through the use of The Untied States resourses.
Men that are willing to step up to the responsabilty of fatherhood actually having a say in the murder of their unborn babies.
Everyone is sick to death of the same old garbage when it comes to our leadership. If you're not willing to give change a chance then do not complain. If the crats had better than Bush last time then ultimately, Kerry would have taken the election. If you're tired of wondering which member of Skull and Bones is going to win, then chose someone different. Do not listen to the blackballing of the press by omision or sraight stink talk because Dr. Paul is neither crat nor pub any longer therefore not to be taken seriously. Germany has a very effective 5 party system in their Parliment, so it can (and should) be done, folks. Its' not rocket science that if you keep picking dumb or dumber, a dummy will be in charge (again).
