Maryland Tax increases

I was at the local Fastop tonight and on the counter they had taped a list of all of the tax increases going into effect on July 1. I was shocked to see that the tax on Cigars is going up from 15% to 70%! The other taxes, like for cigarettes, is going up from 15% to 30%. This is terrible how the government is steeling more of our money this way. Absolutely despicable. Now I need to research this.

A Stealth Coup d'État in the United States

This is a good article. Our problems are way bigger than Republican vs. Democrat; nor did we get into this mess over night. It's been a long time coming, and we've been caught in our comfortable complacency. It's time start paying attention and getting involved in what matters most to keep our freedoms intact.

Contrary to Lincoln's hope, the government of the people, by the people and for the people is now perishing from the earth.

POLITICO.com: Rush Limbaugh loses 25 advertisers

Check out this page:
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0312/73675.html

I guess this list is the companies that we should avoid doing business with. This whole thing is so ridiculous. Rush spoke the truth; although he's since apologized, because he realized he had stuped to the level of the left. I must say, even though it was true, it wasn't Christ like to state it the way he did. I think Rush did the right thing. That Fluke woman should be ashamed of herself. Robbing from her fellow citizens to satisfy her lifestyle that is against their religious beliefs; violating the constitution and the first amendment. For Obama to support her is a violation of his oath of office.

Hatch: Obama Is No Jesus Christ

Friday, 03 Feb 2012 11:21 AM
By Newsmax Wires

Many have noted that President Barack Obama seems to have a bit of a messianic complex.

Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said in a speech on the Senate floor Thursday that Obama has taken it too far and must remember that he’s not Jesus Christ, The Hill reports.

Apology

I just discovered today the most disgusting images and content that I'd ever seen in my life posted on this site. I was completely disgusted. I don't know how it happened. It appears that someone somehow posted 4 articles on December 10th. Since none of the design of the site or past posts had been messed with, and my password was still intact, I think that most likely they simply sent emails to the blog email address that I use to post via email. Since I never had problems before, I had it set to automatically post. I've since changed the setting to not post until confirmed by review. Hopefully I'll never suffer this problem again. I hope nobody saw the filth that was displayed here. I am very sorry.

One of his favorite presidents is FDR. He's in favor of health care mandates.

Hoffa Threatens GOP At Obama Event: "Take These Son Of Bitches Out"

I don't understand this. I went to "tea party" events, and all of the people that I went with and all of the people I met, work. We, the Tea Party, are the working people. So what does Hoffa mean when he puts the working people against the Tea Party?

Obama pushing behind scenes to win over big-dollar donors - The Washington Post

This is sickening! How much of our tax money is being spent on the president's campaigning. Disgraceful!! Disgusting!! Should a public servent be out spending all this time and all of this tax payer money towards his re-election? Hell no!!! It should be common sense that this is immoral and unethical. Apparently we need to make it law that you can't spend any resources, time or money, deferred to you by the citizens whom you serve toward campaigning.

 

Think about it; does the president even need any more publicity? He's speaking, all over, on the TV every day. His fruit should stand on their own merits. There should be no need to spend any money or time campaigning.

Maryland Adds Environmental Literacy in High Schools - FoxNews.com
