SOPA retires to the shadows… for now.

Freedom of speech and internet innovation win one.

This is how it starts.

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2012/01/13/apnewsbreak_obama_seeks_power_to_merge_agencies/Obama Obama needs more power. He’s going to merge fluff and bureaucracy in with necessary departments making them too big to cut. Is that how the news will report it, of course not. They claim it’s really about synergy and efficiency. Then why do we need yet more debt limit hikes with 0, yes ZERO cuts?

This is an outright lie. This is a power grab in campaign promise clothing. You will be appalled by the results if it’s allowed, and if Obama is reelected.

The justice department finds their boss’s actions legal. Shocking.

No conflict of interest in reviewing the guy that hired and can fire you, is there? Memos are also now legally binding documents.

It’s a very simple formula, but one the atlantic missed. You take a group of establishment republicans, about 25% of the party by current polling, add in 15% for the moderates, set up primaries and OPEN primaries in half a dozen liberal and moderate states, throwing in only a token conservative state or two, use liberal media moderators, and declare the race over before enough votes are in to matter. This explains, and perfectly matches, the results we see.

Ask yourself how the current nomination process would differ if only registered republicans were allowed to vote, if only moderate and conservative moderators were used, and if the first half dozen primaries were held in consistently red states. Romney would not be the answer.

Obama plays politics

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/11/us-obama-business-taxes-idUSTRE80A15920120111

If you move your jobs back here, costing the company more, we’ll reduce you taxes. Net benefit, less than zero due to liability, government mandated health care, and the near guarantee that Obama will simply raise other taxes on your businesses. If you move overseas, ‘cause you’re struggling to stay in business, we’ll tax you even more and put you out of business. This is a guaranteed jobs loser. Obama is playing politics to unions for no gain other than his own reelection. Wake up people!

Michelle Obama is angry that people keep calling her angry.

Q:\12-018-NTA_PARKING_GARAGE\Addenda

Michelle is aggravated with obese Americans.

Michelle is infuriated with Americans without healthcare.

Michelle is enraged be the absence of green anything.

Those reporters complaining about her frivolous ways make Michelle hot under the collar.

Rahm Emanuel says Michelle is huffy

Republicans make Michelle sore.

Michelle was outraged with America, until Barack was elected.

And yet, she can’t figure out why people think she’s angry.

Labor Unions Benefit Most from Lawless ObamaCare Waivers

Labor Unions Benefit Most from Lawless ObamaCare Waivers January 9, 2012

Fellow Patriot, On Friday, we told you about one of the most repugnant elements of ObamaCare: It codifies lawlessness and government-by-whim. How has it done so? ObamaCare empowered Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius with the unilateral power to issue waivers from the law's mandates and obligations. So far, a total of 1,472 waivers have been granted. What makes this doubly offensive is that the criteria for awarding waivers and denying waivers — as were recently denied to the states of Oklahoma and Kansas — have never been made public. It's government by the whim of the unelected Secretary of HHS. Today, we learn that the biggest beneficiaries of the waivers issued by Sebelius and HHS have been President Obama's friends in the big labor unions. The Daily Caller reports that labor unions representing 543,812 union members received waivers. By contrast, private employers with only 69,813 employees received waivers. Major labor unions were some of the biggest supporters of ObamaCare. But, they've had to seek special exemption in the form of waivers to avoid the harmful consequences of the law. If they didn't, many would find themselves in a similar position to New York's SEIU Local 1199, which had to drop coverage of children for the more than 30,000  home-attendant workers. This is the chaos of ObamaCare. This is the lawlessness of ObamaCare. A society built on the rule of law can't accept a system of government-by-whim designed to reward the President's friends and supporters. The rule of law must be restored, and that can't be done without repealing ObamaCare.                                                Sincerely,                                                                                             Hadley Heath                                                Policy Analyist                                                Independent Women's Voice P.S. — Through all of our work and major projects like The Repeal Pledge we're fighting every day to make repeal of ObamaCare a reality.

Debt is greater than GDP.

This is the result of not passing cut, cap, and balance.

MSM sucks. MSNBC suck worse.

We'd be better off with middle school kids reporting the news. They might actually check and document their sources. Hell, they might even develop an opinion based on the facts, rather than cherry picking statistics that seem to support their bias.
