He's A NUT

As Barney Fife used to say on "The Andy Griffith Show".

http://www.tagsrwc.com/trickytimers/wavs/Barney/nut2.wav

Minister Louis Farrakhan has foolish notion that the whole world is out to destroy is President.
"Do you think they're wicked enough to be plotting our brother's assassination as we speak?"
"I believe they want a Muslim to kill President Obama,"
Strong words from that man that probably arranged for the murder of Malcom X.

Obama assassinated? Don't rule it out, rants Farrakhan




Don't Mess with the IRS

Not really the topic.  Received this email today, was spam filtered, but the contents are ominous.

Skillfully copied using SnagIt

The text contents said.....

Dear Small business owner,  I do not own a business.  The supposed small business owners are all working for the same company, mine, about half of which are citizens of Mexico.  The citizenship thing is a dead ringer for this email being bullshit.


Hereby you are informed that your Income Tax Return Appeal id#0839938 has been DECLINED. I have made no appeals of any sort.   If you consider that the IRS did not properly examine you case due to a misunderstanding of the case details, be ready to submit additional information. With the IRS I have no complaints, only fear, they are the hammer that any government needs to collect what it is owed. You can download the rejection details and re-submit your appeal using the following link Online Tax Appeal.  There is a link here, that I stupidly attempted to activate, it started loading a site with the name PollyPeach before the company content filters halted it.

This Sounds Like the Politicians WE Have

"If private profits are to be legitimized, private fortunes made honorable, these great forces which play upon the modern field, both individually and collectively, be accommodated to a common purpose."
Woodrow Wilson

An articulate message that says the proceeds of capitalism must be spent on the needs of the common. Like many well intentioned utopian beliefs, this message ignores the reality that motivation to attain "private fortunes" is removed when the fortunes are no longer allowed to be private. People stop taking risks when there is no reward.

That Sounds About Right

"We contend that for a nation to try and tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle."
Winston Churchill

If any of our politicians agree with this, there is scant evidence of it.

Judge rules Muslims have a right to assault people who offend them

This should get your blood boiling. A judge and a lawyer that successfully justified an assault with Islamic faith. The assailant must have oblivious to the Constitution because at one point he claimed that dressing up as a "Zombie Mohammad" was against the law.
Next the atheists should march as "Moronic Martins".
Just yesterday I spent a few minutes watching an erudite young man from Missouri explain how Sharia law is something that Muslims are not forcing on American society.

US Judge rules Muslims have a right to assault people who offend them - HUMAN EVENTS





Know Your Rights

Am I a citizen?
Reminds me of a Dr. Seuss book, written by P.D. Eastman.

Our government has designed a web site intended to be useful for individuals who are unsure if they would pass E-Verify inspection.
A sub-page called "Know You Rights", within which is the statement..
Additionally, a positive Self Check result should not be a condition of membership into any group or organization, and is not to be required for receipt of any benefit, service, or good from a Federal, state or local agency or a private party.

With which I take issue, if my hunting club decides that all of its members have to be US citizens, which I believe is a requirement for owning a firearm in the United States, we as private members damn well will apply any rule we want for admittance.

SPAM

This spam is so cryptic they might actually get some answers.
You have to appreciate that they do not even attempt to hide what they are after.

MEGAVOTE February 21, 2012

Congress.org (congress.org) presents: MEGAVOTE February 21, 2012


In this MegaVote for Georgia's 13th Congressional District:

 
Recent Congressional Votes:
  • Senate: Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act
  • House: Protecting Investment in Oil Shale the Next Generation of Environmental, Energy, and Resource Security Act
  • House: Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act

The Senate and House are in recess until Monday, February 27, 2012.
 

Recent Senate Votes:

 
Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act
http://capwiz.com/congressorg/issues/votes/?votenum=22&chamber=S&congress=1122

Vote Agreed to (60-36, 4 Not Voting)

The Senate gave final approval to the agreement to extend the Social Security payroll tax rate cut, which was reduced from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent last year, through the end of 2012. The bill also extends certain unemployment benefits and Medicare physician payment rates through the end of the year. The president is expected to sign the bill into law.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted NO
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted NO
 Both of my guys voted the way I would hope. It is hard to beleive that given a closer situation Saxby wouldn't have been on the bandwagon.  One the gang of six, eager to show their fervent desire to prove they are the great concilliators.  No, the  Republicans from the conservative states had their flanks covered on this little tax game.  Democats are ready to demonize Republicans for cutting benefits, for destroying the fictional trust fund for old folks, all the while doing their best to make the underfund a tenuous fiscal construct.  Why not you could ask, why not undercut the tax rates for regular taxpayers, it is our intent to get them on our side by making them tax flow positive and passing the cost to those that have been blessed by good income fortune?
 
Recent House Votes:

Protecting Investment in Oil Shale the Next Generation of Environmental, Energy, and Resource Security Act
http://capwiz.com/congressorg/issues/votes/?votenum=71&chamber=H&congress=1122
Vote Passed (237-187, 10 Not Voting)

The House passed the first part of the surface transportation authorization bill, which has been divided into three parts. This part deals with energy and would use oil and gas revenue to fund transportation projects.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
A bill to have taxes from energy based industries fund capital expentitures whose usage of which  is directly related.  How does me guy vote?  No, he votes no on a budget his Democrat crones in the Senate wil not pass.  He votes no on income designation aimed at capital growth, e.g. building projects. His reason?  Look to where he really want the money to be spent.  It hardly matters anyway, Reid is squashing everything the House Republicans send his way, unless of course Obamy wants it.
 
Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act
http://capwiz.com/congressorg/issues/votes/?votenum=72&chamber=H&congress=1122
Vote Passed (293-132, 8 Not Voting)


The House passed this agreement to extend the Social Security payroll tax rate cut, which was reduced from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent last year, through the end of 2012. The bill also extends certain unemployment benefits and Medicare physician payment rates through the end of the year. The Senate passed the bill a short time later, clearing it for the president's signature.
Rep. David Scott voted YES

I started on it above, this election year taxation gamesmanship.  The politicians trotted this out as a tax cut, when all it was a continuation of a policy already in place.  I say , I you vote to underfund Social Security you should lose all rights to playing the evil Repulicans trying to get to SSC check card.  Duplicitous bastards.
On the other hand, I have to remember my core beleif that a goverment with less cash is a government that spends less.

Hold It Right There

You see a neighbors house being burgled. A criminal is crawling out of a window. To emphasize the power at hand, you fire your pistol into the ground. The crook stays put and the police arrive as they should.
Thieving bastard in control carried off in the squad car.
Guess what happens next, congratulations, appreciation for serving community?
Nope, the police in Farmington New Hampshire arrested the neighbor as well.

Fox.com reports.

My employer, at one time had a plant in that town. It was the newest most up to date plant in the system.  The plant couldn't make money because they couldn't find talent.  Eventually the plant was closed after ten years of losses.  It looks like the town hired those folks that deep sixed the business.

If Dennis Flemming were my neighbor, and saved my posessions, I would be buying the man a vacation to someplace warm.

Hopefully the County Attorney will apply common sense and dismiss the charges.
