The Internal Revenue Service spent MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars on its 2010 conference. The budget included mega bucks for CRAP like event planners’ commissions, speakers’ fees, prizes and parody videos.
A group committed to defending traditional marriage has proof the IRS leaked their donor list to groups committed to legalizing gay marriage. Some donors to groups supporting traditional marriage have received death threats and envelopes containing a powdery white substance, and their businesses have been boycotted.
iowahawk tweets – The IRS still has its defenders. And Charles Manson still has groupies.
May 23, 2013, just three days before the stars and planets lined up over our national symbol in this ominous manner, a coalition from the Methodist Church, United Church of Christ, Jewish Council for Public Affairs, National Council of Jewish Women and Union of Reform Judaism sent a letter to Congress, officially opposing H.R.1797, the “District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.”
This bill, sponsored by Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz), would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, when fetuses are near or at viability and are known to be not just capable of experiencing pain, but of actually feeling it much more intensely than we do, because they have not yet developed the capacity to filter out or ignore stimuli.
In their letter, these alleged servants of God stated: “We stand united across our faith traditions in opposing this extreme legislation.”
“Extreme.”
God said He knows each of us personally in the womb. He vehemently opposed the sacrifice of children to pagan gods, especially Moloch, the Bull god, into whose fires LIVE babies were thrown.
But these “religious” leaders call an attempt to stop the cruel and wanton destruction of innocent lives “extreme.”
Now, I know these people don’t represent all religions or even a majority of the people in their own denominations. But they are taking a leadership role, in the name of their churches, on behalf of evil.
Moreover, these people and their followers support the Democrat Party leaders who have held majority rule in Washington since January 2007.
2012 Democratic Party Platform on Abortion: We strongly and unequivocally support Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, including obtaining a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay. We oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right.
In other words, no limitations will be tolerated and yes you stupid Pro-Lifers will be forced to cough up the bucks to pay for it.
Nation-wide, 22% of all pregnancies end in abortion.
That’s more than one in five.
In New York City, 40% of all pregnancies end in abortion.
That’s two out of five and nearly double the national average.
And the Democrats who run the nation and their apologists who call themselves our religious leaders support this.
If you still think the state of the economy is due to Republicans, you have not been paying attention.
When Democrats (including then-Senator Obama) took control of Congress on Jan 3, 2007, Republicans had been leading the country for TWELVE straight years and UNEMPLOYMENT was at 4.4%.
Never mind Benghazi. Where was this supposedly righteous anger after Aurora? The victims in that case weren’t small children, but that can’t possibly explain O’s dramatically more subdued reaction after that shooting. They were innocent people too; many of them were young, if not kindergarteners. No angry Rose Garden press conferences freaking out about Senate inaction after Aurora, though. Any theories why? Anything, maybe, having to do with when that shooting happened vis-a-vis Newtown? Right: One of them came three months before a presidential election and the other came a month after. That’s the difference. As you watch him point the finger here at supposedly gutless senators who care more about retaining public office than Doing Something, remember that there’s hardly one among them who’s as attuned to political self-preservation as O. He kept his mouth shut nice and tight about guns when it was his own ass on the line last year in purple states; he ignored gun control almost completely when he had 60 Democratic votes in the Senate early in his first term; and as we know from the gay-marriage farce, he isn’t above lying outright to voters about his true positions in the name of getting elected. (Let’s not start on the many ways he’s followed Bush’s counterterrorism lead after selling himself to the left in ’08 as the anti-Bush on foreign policy.)
Given his record, there’s every reason to believe that what’s really bothering him is the fact that red-state Dems denied him an easy chance today to demagogue Republicans as the party of child murder or whatever, which he was hoping to use next year as a way to retake the House. Then, once he had a Democratic Congress again, he could pass some new horrible permutation of ObamaCare or immigration or the minimum wage or some other liberal wishlist item that has nothing to do with gun control. Just like in his first term! That’s what he’s mad about, that a political bludgeon was essentially taken out of his hands before he had a chance to use it to achieve unrelated goals.
And now he’s a lame duck, with few opportunities to pass something big and a real chance that he’ll end up with a fully Republican Congress in 2015. He might have no choice at this point but to try to tank the immigration bill too so that he’s got something to scream about next year. I wonder if Democrats will trip him up there too.
If you think Republican leadership is to blame for the bad economy, consider your news source please. The MSM is in the tank for the Democrats. They’ve been lying to the public for years.
The red is when we had Republicans controlling 2 or 3 of the three budget and policy-making bodies (Senate, House, White House). Blue is when we had Democrats controlling 2 or 3 of these three.
On “O’Reilly Factor,” Juan Williams defended the “stomp on Jesus” class activity, which the professor (who is a Democrat Party activist) claims is supposed to inspire “critical thinking.” I won’t post the Youtube link, because IMHO, listening to Juan Williams lowers your IQ.
If the purpose of the exercise was to inspire critical thinking, as Williams suggests, it seems to me the only kid to pass was the one independent enough not to fall in line with the sheep.
I thought the fact that the professor refused to use the student’s refusal as part of his lesson was clear evidence that the exercise was not about critical thinking, but about getting kids to disrespect Christianity.
Juan should critically think about how he’d feel if the paper had said MLK, not JESUS.
Oh gosh. What a relief! Greece is only going to steal 40% of the money people have saved in their banks.
Liberals can say the stupidest things and be exempt from mockery by the elite because their illogical opinions qualify them as enlightened.

Obamacare is trashing the American health care system and moving us toward single payer, so yeah, it’s working as intended.

Republicans tried to prevent the sub-prime mortgage crisis.
It was Democratswho passed the Community Reinvestment Act, Democrats who expanded it, Democrats who cooked the books at Fannie and Freddie as other Democrats pressured banks to make more and more of those high-risk loans, and Democrats who prevented Republican attempts at reform:

As for employment, let’s look at the big picture.
EMPLOYMENT UNDER REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP
For 12 continuous years, Republicans held majority control of Washington, D.C. (they held 2+ out of 3 of the House, Senate, and Presidency). During that time, the average level of employment over 144 straight months was 63.3%, and never went below 62.0%.
When George W. Bush took office in 2001, one could truly say that he “inherited” the economy, because he had not been a part of the Congress that helped create that economy. And what he inherited was the Dot Com bust, followed shortly thereafter by the 9/11/2001 attacks, which created an economic double whammy. Employment was decreasing in 2001, 2002, and early 2003, and it was not until the 2003 Bush Tax Cuts were signed into law that the economy turned around, employment rose, and tax revenues rose along with that rising employment.
The low point of employment in 2003 was 62.0% in September 2003.
By December 2006, employment was up to 63.4%.
Thanks in large part to the Bush Tax Cuts, the economy grew, employment grew, and tax revenues grew. Tax revenues in FY 2007 were a whopping 44% larger than FY 2003 revenues! That was the effect of Republican-backed policies.
Again, employment in the last month of the Republican majority was 63.4%… even after inheriting the Dot Com bust and the 9/11 attacks, Bush was able to turn the economy around and finish the Republican majority with an employment percentage that was slightly higher than the 12-year Republican majority average (which was 63.3%).
That improvement hit an inflection point when the balance of power shifted from Republican to Democrat on January 3, 2007. Democrats raised the minimum wage 3 times, in 2007, 2008, and 2009, and while may sound good to you, the fact is that whenever the minimum wage is raised, some people who would have been employed at minimum wage previously do not end up making more, but rather end up unemployed. There is a reason why youth unemployment is higher now than it was 6 years ago. The financial crisis of 2008 of course increased unemployment (/decreased employment), but again Republicans had warned of, and tried to stop, that crisis, but Democrats thwarted attempts at reform and additional oversight.
EMPLOYMENT UNDER DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP
We’ve now had six continuous years of Democrats holding majority control of Washington, D.C. Average employment over those six years has been 60.0%, and we haven’t had a month above that average since February 2009. The average over the four years of Obama’s first term was 58.7%,and we haven’t had a month above that average since August 2009.
When Democrats in Congress took majority control on January 3, 2007, they inherited a GOOD economy. And you can’t honestly say that Obama “inherited” the poor state of the economy on January 20, 2009, because he had been a Senator since January 3, 2005 and had helped to create that economy. And even if you insist on blaming Bush for the economy that Obama “inherited” on January 20, 2009, the fact remains that the economy Obama just inherited from himself is far, far worse!
