Tonight, Kender and Nick talked about Pelosi and wanting to find out what’s in the Obamacare bill, Islamic terror hits Pakistan and more importantly, who makes a better donut: Krispy Kreme or Dunkin? You decide! Enjoy!
We will never control our government until we control the federal tax system.
It is corrupted and unfair and feeds unchecked government growth with our money. It has made the federal government far more powerful than what was supposed to be its equal—our state governments. The income tax hides the cost of the government from plain sight and provides endless amounts of our money for the advancement of politician’s personal ambitions. It is very good for those in Washington and very destructive for the rest of us.
We’re being treated as if our only value as citizens is how much more money we can be made to give up out of our paychecks. When it comes to more and more spending and more and more taxes, it is a one-way conversation. I’m ready to talk back and I don’t think I’m alone. That’s why I’m calling on every patriot to join me in a tax revolt march on Washington , D.C.
I’m leading a Tea Party Patriot team in a growing on-line tax revolt which arrives in Washington , D.C. on April 15th to merge with huge physical rallies. It’s a new technology that allows people to choose a graphic “avatar” to digitally march on-line to Washington with hundreds of thousands of other Americans. Even the homebound, recovering veterans and the elderly can add their voice to this new American chorus.
I’m seeing a lot of people remembering that politicians are supposed to follow the will of the people—not trample it. Like Boston Harbor , this is where we again make our stand.
First you choose an avatar at: www.onlinetaxrevolt.com. Then you choose a team. Michael Reagan has a team, Neal Boortz has a team, Ken Hoagland of FairTax.org has a team and I have a team, among a growing number of others. Every day after you join the march, you can check your progress toward Washington , D.C. on a Google Earth map of the United States . You can see other marchers from your hometown, read blogs from the leaders and count the growing number of citizens willing to make a stand.
The on-line tax revolt is open to all whether they favor the Flat Tax, the FairTax or the kind of simplification that President Reagan won. What this march is really about is shifting public policy back to favor the public instead of the political elite. Right now, the on-line revolt has 100,000 marchers and is growing by 1,000 people per hour. It’s wake up call to those in the halls of power.
This nation began in a tax protest against the rule of royalty, indifference to what were once loyal citizens of the crown and the arrogance of power. A brand new form of government began here that held that government power could only be granted with the consent of the governed. Well guess what? The aristocrats are back, the arrogance of power is back and even taxation without representation is back as our government pledges the earnings of future, unborn, generations of American citizens to secure mind-numbing levels of national debt today. It will ruin the country if we don’t stop it.
This is not the government we learned about in our civics class and not the liberty for which our forefathers shed blood. It’s time for the next great American tax revolt and I hope you join me.
Joe “The Plumber” Wurzelbacher was thrust into the national spotlight when he asked Barrack Obama why it was fair to take his earnings and give it to others. Joe has kept asking hard questions of government leaders ever since. Joe leads the Tea Party Patriot Team at www.onlinetaxrevolt.com.
Tonight, Captain Conservatism and the Patriot chatted about “The Hurt Locker” downing James Cameron and the “Avatar” juggernaut. Also, Obama’s travels and more. Enjoy!
Here is the YGC show from March 5th, 2010 interview with Joe the Plumber. Enjoy!
George Will makes a case of the anti-Constitutionality of Congress trying to shove health care down the nation’s collective throat.
It is not so much that Ross Douthat of the New York Times disses the preachy, finger-wagging James Cameron hit piece in Avatar; few would say that Cameron isn’t perhaps the best director of his day. His ability to tell a wonderful story and wow the audiences with amazing special effects is unparalleled.
Rather, Douthat’s criticism lies in the heavy-handed, quasi-New Age rubbish Hollywood shoves down unsuspecting filmgoers’ throats in an attempt by a small cadre of atheists and pantheists to dethrone Christianity as the cultural centerpiece of this nation. This is not the first time in history anti-Christian forces heaped scorn on Christianity, and the religion will survive well enough. At least he didn’t release it during Easter.

There’s nothing like hearing the cacophony of a bunch of Liberals choking on their lattes. Good for Sarah Palin, good for Fox for having the brains to hire her, and good to the haters who deserve their self-induced hissy-fit.

I’m not prepared to say that the POTUS himself hates the United States. If anything, I find him to be a bit of a jellyfish on matters of substance, as he makes for a good marionette and little else. However, the staffers around him either have a perverse sense of humor, or an utter hatred for the history and traditions of this country by placing on a Christmas tree the picture of a man who spilled far more blood than even Adolf Hitler ever did in Mao Zedong. Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government has more.
So here we are once again, with a terrorist threat nearly thwarted by the expert skill of those in charge. Those elected and appointed to safeguard the lives of American citizens foiled the man who is now known as ‘the underwear bomber.’ Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, hid explosive powder in his underwear and an explosive gel alone his legs. With a blanket covering his lower body, he began to mix the two together. Thankfully though, he was stopped.
That would all be well and good if it was true. While the part about the explosives is true, the part about our government saving the day was not. Those two compounds needed to be mixed and settle for a half an hour before they were ignited. He waited twenty minutes. If he had waited another 10 minutes, there would have been a huge explosion, and three hundred or more lives would have been lost. The airliner would have gone up and the damage on the tarmac and airport would have been unimaginable.
AbdulMutallab’s father, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab is one of his countries wealthiest bankers. He was so disturbed by the radicalization of his son that he went to the officials of his country, who them took him to the American embassy and local CIA officials. He claimed that his son had been radicalized by Islamic militants in Yemen, and told them all that he had learned from his son. Reports were sent to the CIA headquarters in Langley, VA.
AbdulMutallab’s name was added to a list of half a million suspects with suspected terrorist ties. They did not place his name on the country’s no-fly list, and they did not contact Yemeni intelligence officials, according to the Yemen government. The ball was completely dropped. It could have been a lazy bureaucrat who didn’t file the case report quickly or thoroughly enough. It’s more likely however, that through political correctness has so engulfed and strangled our intelligence apparatus that we simply have forgotten how to get into the fight and protect ourselves
Israel has not has had an airline attack in decades, because they profile those who are a danger to them. Those with bombs and guns are searched, and arrested. I’ll make the point very bluntly: Safeguarding the lives of innocents is more important than potentially inconveniencing a foreigner or two. If they are on a list of any kind, they should have to go through extra screening to enter the United States. We should not care about their inconvenience and feelings. Why should we risk our way of life?
Janet Napolitano’s greatest contribution to the Department of Homeland Security was her memo on profiling conservatives in the country as possible homegrown terrorists, but not Muslims. So terrified of the ACLU and the Daily Kos they have become that those in charge with our security would allow a would-be terrorist into our borders in order to seem ‘nice.’
President Obama said that there would be an investigation. He gave off a speech that said led the impression that heads would soon roll. However, I know that Obama shares the same ideology as Napolitano, Pelosi, and all the rest of them. He may want to plug a hole in security because it reflects poorly on him, happening on his watch. I doubt he would try AbdulMutallab under a military tribunal, or consider any solution, which did not immediately make it more difficult to prevent further things like this from happening. It is more likely that a far greater number of heads would roll if someone had not read this terrorist his rights and afforded him constitutional protection and a fresh latte.
Mr. President, let the CIA and FBI talk to each other. Tear down the politically correct veil that had blinded us to threats and tied our hands. Let us profile those who are on lists and considered a threat. Lets stop giving Visas to people on watch lists, or revoke them once they are placed on said list.
Why should we risk our way of life?
