The New York Times has a lot of names. The Grey Lady, the newspaper of record, or as conservatives prefer, the Treason Times.
From the thirties until today, the New York Times has had a long and disgusting record of cheering for and supporting America's enemies. The latest outrage from the Treason Times is the publication of the latest dump from Wikileaks.
A group of eighty liberal freaks has released a letter claiming that it is their “patriotic duty” to ask Obama to raise their taxes.
First, we know they are lying because they are liberals. Second, this is not about raising their taxes. If they feel so strongly, they could simply contribute their wealth to the government. “A voluntary tax system doesn’t work,” one of them whined in an interview.
More telling was another signer to this letter who candidly admitted, he used an accountant to find deductions on his income taxes.
Not surprisingly, almost every name on the list is a big time donor to the Democratic Party. They range from Ben Cohen of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream (memo to patriots: We don’t need tax increases to reduce his wealth, just don’t buy his ice cream) to Men’s Warehouse CEO George Zimmer (memo to patriots, Joseph A. Banks is a better choice).
Here is the dirty secret that these millionaires do not mention.
First, they are not patriotic.
Second, their taxes are not going to go up. They have accountants and tax lawyers to make sure they pay a minimum tax.
Finally, this is about competition. Like all liberals, these guys don’t like competition. They do not want new members coming into the millionaire club. The income tax taxes income, not wealth. You need income to create wealth, but you once you have created wealth, you do not need a great income. The people who will be hurt by this are people like you and me. The people who will be affected the most by this are entrepreneurs. These are the people that will be tomorrow’s millionaires. But taxes the way these fools want it raised will only make it more difficult or impossible for people to become millionaires and realize the American dream.
The real story here is the tax code. We have a byzantine tax code that is loaded with exceptions and exemptions for special interests. It is so complicated that it takes lawyers and accountants to figure the mess out. Among lawyers, one of the most in demand credentials is the Masters of Law in Taxation.
This insanity has to stop.
We have a spending problem. Even the fools who signed this letter give lip service to that. We will never bring spending under control unless we cap spending and create a tax system that prevents the endless, easy expansion of government.
Meanwhile, as Americans struggle to make ends meet with a weak economy, we desperately need a stimulus. Tax cuts for all is the only stimulus left
Meanwhile, I suggest the liberals who signed this letter put their money where their mouths are. Let each of them do their own taxes without any deductions and in addition, stroke a check to the government for at least one million dollars. Then we will start listening to them.
Otherwise, they are simply more lying liberals.

Obama's job approval drops to new low of 39%
Posted by Staff
The Los Angeles Times reports:
Turns out voters were not simply satisfied to spank the Democrat and his party in the Nov. 2 midterm elections with historic losses in the House of Representatives.
Obama's job approval rating as calculated by the Zogby Poll has now sunk to 39%, a new low for his 22-month presidency that began with so much hope and excitement and poll numbers up around 70. As recently as Sept. 20, his job approval was 49%.
A whopping 60% now disapprove of his job, up from 51% disapproval Sept. 20.
Obama now trails in hypothetical 2012 matchups against Republicans Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and the next Bush, Jeb.
And, oh, my! Lookee here! Obama has even fallen into a statistical tie with none other than Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor. How embarrassing that is because other polls have shown a majority of Americans believe she is unqualified for the presidency. So it appears many have now decided, on second thought, Obama looks that way too.

Here is an excerpt from a post in the Brutally Honest Blog I think is just great:
Here's an idea.
We're at war with these people. Let's quit talking to them and instead let's start killing them.
Or just come home.
If we're not there to defeat the enemy, then bring our men and women home. We've lost enough of our people due to our unwillingness to engage with full force.
Enough is enough. Fight feriociously or return our troops to their families.
Not another should die when we have incompetents who lead them.
When you're getting your naked body scanned at the airport or being groped by a TSA agent, I am certain this story will make you feel it is all worth it to be secured from the terrorists. The developers for the Ground Zero Mosque have applied for a federal grant to assist in building it. To paraphrase a quote from the movie, Field of Dreams, "Build the Ground Zero Mosque and the terrorists will come".
And I have no doubt the federal grant will be given. What better way for the Obama Administration to show tolerance and reach out to the Muslim World then to give a few million to build the mosque that he supports. Your hard earned tax dollars at work.
Everyone is outraged and extremely frustrated by the infringement on our freedom by the TSA pat downs and full body scans at airports. Even more frustrating is that we all
know the common sense solution to the problem of terrorists at
airports. Profiling.
It has been said, “Don't let the inmates run the asylum”. This is exactly what we are doing when we allow a handful of PC (Political Correctness) nuts to dictate our
behavior; ordering us to ignore common sense solutions and play their
“let's not offend anyone” ridiculous PC games.
Profiling is common sense. As a black man, if I find myself in the midst of a group of white guys with shaved heads and covered in swastikas and white power tattoos,
profiling them, it would probably be unwise to quote a line from the
movie, Blazing Saddles, “Where the white women at?”
Years ago in Maryland, early in the morning, in a mostly white upscale neighborhood, residents saw two black youths dressed in gangster attire walking their streets. The
black youths obviously looked out of place. And yet, authorities were
not alerted because the white residents did not want to appear racist
profiling black males.
The two black youths hijacked a mom's car, drug her several feet as she attempted to save her toddler which they threw out of the window. Common sense profiling would have
prevented this horrific incident.
All, I repeat “ALL”, terrorist attacks have been committed by Middle Eastern men between the ages of 18 and 40. And yet, we can not profile these people. Instead, TSA
agents are being forced to border molesting nuns, seniors and
children.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSQTz1bccL4&feature=youtu.be)
How did profiling become such a dirty word, when we present ourselves to the world in whatever way we wish to be profiled? Wall street executives wear suits to be profiled as
responsible. Rock stars wear spiked hair, tattoos and piercings to be
profiled as rebellious.
Remember, the popular book titled, “Dress for Success”? It could be re-titled, “How to Achieve Your Desired Profiling”.
PC demands that we ignore life experiences, common sense and the messages individuals send in the way they present themselves.
If you are different than your projected image, the burden is on you to prove yourself otherwise. Do not demonize the public for simply reading your projected image.
For example, as an artist, I wear my signature hat, braid and black and white attire. At my first republican meeting, a white gentleman approached me and said, “The
democrats meet down the road.” He seemed pleasantly surprised when
I smiled and replied, “I know. I'm in the right meeting.”
Was this white man a racist for assuming I, a black man, dressed a bit out of the norm, was a democrat? No. He was using his life experiences and the knowledge
that blacks, particularly non conservative attired blacks, typically
vote democrat. Obama received 96% of the black vote. So, in most
cases, he would have been correct in his assumption that this Avant
Garde looking black man would be a democrat. Absurdly, PC would brand
this white gentleman a racist.
Folks, we must end this PC madness which is a part of the Tea Party Movement agenda. We must continue screaming, “NO!” as loudly as possible, to the humiliating and
unconstitutional PC pat downs and full body scans.
Tell the Obama administration, “Cut this PC nonsense and go after the bad guys. PROFILE!”

Kim Priestap sent this in email last night... and it's bat sh*t crazy stuff:
Note to terrorists: Next time, wear a hijab. The Department of Homeland Security reportedly is giving special exemptions to their "enhanced pat-down" policy to Muslim women wearing the hijab or other form-concealing garments.
Last week, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a "travel advisory" noting that women who are patted down "should remind the TSA officer that they are only supposed to pat down the area in question, in this scenario, your head and neck. They SHOULD NOT subject you to a full-body or partial-body pat-down." It's unclear why CAIR believes TSA frisking must be Shariah-compliant. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano refused to deny that such exemptions existed when CNS News asked her about them on Monday, saying instead that "adjustments will be made where they need to be made" and that "there will be more to come" on this issue.
3 year olds, nuns, 85 year old women and invalids are groped by the TSA but women in hijabs will get a pass.
The insane really are running the asylum.
In-freakin-credible.
Surprise! 111 companies and unions have been given waivers by Health and Human Services in order to keep them from dropping the health insurance they provide their employees. Obama's health care "fix" is anything but--and Obama's administration is trying to stop a PR disaster by selectively exempting those who beg hard enough. Welcome to Obama's regime.
Earmarks take center stage as the lame duck session of Congress begins. A big win for the tea party conservatives soon materializes: Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reverses course and supports Jim DeMint's ban on all earmarks.
As the lame duck session cranks up in Washington, we have to stand and fight again. On Wednesday, there will be a cloture vote on Senate bill S.510. For those of you not familiar with this nightmare of a bill, TPN member Eve Stephens has a summary of it here, on Tea Party Nation.
S. 510 is basically Obamacare for the food industry. It will create 17,000 new bureaucrats, who's job is going to be to harass small farmers. It will create huge regulatory burdens for small family farms and even for those who want to grown their own food. This will choke out small farms. For those who like to buy their own healthy food, forget it. It will no longer be available.
Call your Senators in the morning and ask them to vote against cloture and let's kill this new attempt by the Obama/Pelosi/Reid axis of fiscal evil to control even more of our lives.
Members of a key panel created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, better known as the stimulus bill, have scheduled a meeting on November 22 to consider ways to prevent "fraud, waste, and abuse of Recovery Act funds." The meeting will be held at the super-luxe Ritz Carlton Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona.
The group is the Recovery Independent Advisory Panel, a sub-committee of the larger Recovery Accountability and Transparency board (sometimes known as the RAT board). The stimulus bill set up the Recovery Independent Advisory Panel, or RIAP, to make recommendations to identify and prevent waste of the bill's $814 billion in stimulus spending.
"The purpose of the November 22, 2010 meeting is to allow the RIAP to have an open dialogue, with input from the public, on issues relating to fraud, waste, and abuse of Recovery Act funds," says a notice in the Federal Register. Specifically, participants in the meeting will discuss various techniques to detect and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse, as well as larger issues of transparency and public awareness. Portions of the meeting will be open to the public, while other parts will be closed.
The Ritz-Carlton is located "in the midst of the picturesque Camelback Corridor, the city's premier shopping, dining and financial district,"
Politics before science: Obama WH fudges offshore drilling ban
Posted by Staff
The Washington Times reports:
Gulf State lawmakers are accusing the Obama administration of putting politics above science after a government watchdog said Interior Department officials misled the public by altering a report to suggest that a group of outside scientists supported a blanket ban on deepwater drilling.
The administration maintains that the flap is the result of rushed editing and nothing more. However, members of Congress from the Gulf region, already incensed over what they described as a heavy-handed, one-size-fits-all reaction to the BP oil spill, are crying foul.
"This was not an accident at all. It was a deliberate attempt to use the prestige of the scientists to support their political decision," said Rep. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, one of several Republicans who this summer requested an investigation into the moratorium by the Interior Department's inspector general.
Despite the GOP surge across the country, pockets of moonbat lunacy still exist:
San Francisco has become the first major U.S. city to pass a law that cracks down on the popular practice of giving away free toys with unhealthy restaurant meals for children.
San Francisco's Board of Supervisors passed the law on Tuesday on a veto-proof 8-to-3 vote. It takes effect on December 1.
The law, like an ordinance passed earlier this year in nearby Santa Clara County, would require that restaurant kids' meals meet certain nutritional standards before they could be sold with toys.
Opponents of the law include the National Restaurant Association and McDonald's Corp, which used its now wildly popular Happy Meal to pioneer the use of free toys to market directly to children.
"We are extremely disappointed with today's decision. It's not what our customers want, nor is it something they asked for," McDonald's spokeswoman Danya Proud said in a statement.
"Getting a toy with a kid's meal is just one part of a fun, family experience at McDonald's," Proud said.
