The United Nations is responsible for Boobquake!

Here's just one example of how United Nations is really screwed up!

The UN Commission on the Status of Woman, a functional commission of the UN Economic and Social Council and is dedicated exclusively to gender equality and the advancement of woman. Sounds great! Very 'Progressive'! Well... Iran was just handed a 4 year seat on the influential human rights body!

Yes... Iran! That wonder theocratic state where stoning women is enshrined in Islamic Law and lashings are required for women judged 'immodest'! Where Islamic Law dictates women are NOT equal... where Tehran's Police Chief recently ordered a crackdown on 'suntanned women and girls who walk around looking like mannequins in an effort to cleanse social misbehaviour'. Yes... Iran, where Islamic Cleric, Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi, recently proclaimed 'immodest cleavage' causes natural disasters... like earthquakes!

(OK! ... as I look stunned, jaw dropped and scratching my head... I ask... Did I really hear that from someone living in the 21st century?)

Wow... Iran now holds a seat on the UN Commission on the Status of Women! Other such notable Countries that have held seats on this prestigious commission are: China... noted for drowning new born baby girls in rice paddy's and Saudi Arabia where women are considered property. Just another outstanding move by the UN.

Basically, the UN is a joke and barely functions as an organization delivering food to refugees.

'Spread the wealth around day'

My proclamation to my fellow citizens: April 15th will no longer be known as Tax Day... from this day forward it will be known as "Spread the wealth around day"

Here are some really great quotes referencing 'TAXES'. Think about them as you write your check to purchase more and more government! That's really what you are doing when you pay taxes... you are purchasing government! Think you're getting a good deal for your money?

“In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.” Benjamin Franklin

“I am in favor of cutting taxes under any circumstances and for any excuse, for any reason, whenever it’s possible.” Milton Friedman

“Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one’s taxes. Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands.” Legendary Judge Learned Hand

“The power to tax is the power to destroy.” John Marshall

“We have a system that increasingly taxes work and subsidizes non-work.” Milton Friedman

“You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot lift the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot establish security on borrowed money. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men’s initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.” William Boetcker

“A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.” Alexis de Tocqueville

“Excessive taxation … will carry reason and reflection to every man’s door, and particularly in the hour of election.” Thomas Jefferson

“The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to the public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny.” Calvin Coolidge

“Indeed, in a free government almost all other rights would become worthless if the government possessed power over the private fortune of every citizen.” John Marshall

Yes... We like it!

Look, you bowing clown... Yes, we like it! We like being a Dominant Military Superpower. In fact... honestly... it must suck NOT to be a Dominant Military Superpower. Why do you think rogue nations and tin horned dictators want to get the bomb? Are you that stupid or just dangerously naive? Your job is to protect the American people and defend the Constitution. (Despite what you think... it's not to spread the wealth around or create social and economic justice!) Being a Superpower makes that part of your job much easier. Being a Superpower helps maintain American safety, security and sovereignty... don't forget it!

A quote on Freedom:

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

Ronald Reagan

Hidden Taxes!

When you look at your paycheck you see GROSS pay... or maybe you just look at the NET since that is what you take home. But have you ever thought about all the other TAXES you pay? Here's a list of some of the hidden taxes you pay. You don't see them taken out of your paycheck or deducted out of your bank account... but you pay them just the same.

Business's pay these taxes and add them to the cost of every product you buy. They are hidden taxes. Or they are added to your bill... like telephone taxes you still pay today for financing the Spanish American war over 110 years ago. (Just a thought but... I think it's been paid for buy now)

Actually, you will work until approximately mid April to pay all your taxes. That's right... everything you make from the first of the year until mid April will go to pay all your taxes. That's almost the first 1/3 of the year to pay taxes. Equating this to the work week... All day Monday and almost all of Tuesday of your paycheck goes to pay income taxes and hidden taxes. Now if you make more than $200,000 a year, all of Monday and Tuesday and most all of Wednesday will go toward paying taxes!

And now the Democrats are floating the idea of a VAT (value added tax)... basically a national sales tax... on everything! So where's the 'Value" in taxing virtually everything you touch, see, smell, eat or buy?

So what's the incentive? Let's all just go on Government subsistence and let the rest of the Country take care of us.

Viva la Revolution!

Arrogant Congressmen are going to cram Healthcare Reform down your throat!

The House leadership is trying to figure a way to force Healthcare Reform down the throats of the American People. House Democrats may even 'deem' it passed because none of them want their name associated with voting for it. The next few days will be very interesting.

Why? Because the American People don't want government involved with their healthcare! This is a... "transformation moment" in American history. This is that moment that Obama was referring to when he said 'in just 5 days we start transforming America".

Government is out of control and it's time to reflect on some of my favorite "Founding Father's" quotes on government. (For those of you that are products of outcome based education you'll need to actually read a document call the Declaration of Independence, penned by Thomas Jefferson, and the United States Constitution as prerequisites to the these quotes)

Quotes from Thomas Jefferson:

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

Most bad government has grown out of too much government.

The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.

The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.

Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty.

If Healthcare Reform is forced upon the American people then I predict the eventual financial collapse of our Country. I believe that is exactly what the Progressives want. Collapse will lead to anarchy... which leads to revolution... and timid Americans will then choose to sacrifice liberty for order.

'The System Worked'!... about as well as the terrorist bomb!

After a terrorist, on the 'Terrorist Watch List', got on a NW/Delta flight from Amsterdam to Detroit, and then tried to blow up the plane, our highly intelligent DHS Chief, Janet Napolitano, declared on Sunday... 'the system worked'!

Let's examine just how well 'the system' actually worked!

1) A known Al Qeada sympathiser, on the Terrorist Watch List, was issued a VISA to visit the U.S. DAHHHH! How did the State Department issue this guy a VISA? Let's see... who's Sec of State... Oh... It's Hillary!

2) The terrorist was ban from entering the U.K. but ok'ed to come to the USA! Again... why was a VISA issued to this guy?

3) Even his Father had warned authorities his son had become 'radicalized' and should be watched! Why didn't someone in DHS take this seriously?

4) It was known he recently visited Yemen... a hot bed for terrorist training! Gee...maybe we should listen to a prominent family member when he warns everyone of a pending problem!

5) A recent report indicates the terrorist may NOT have even had a passport but was still allowed to board the plane! WOW... how did that happen? Someone needs to have their ass kicked for that!

6) Inexpensive 'scanning and detection' technology, which is available now and could have detected the loaded underwear, was not used to screen this clown. But... we are still using magnetometers to pick-up large metal objects... like guns!

7) The terrorist paid for his ticket with cash, had no luggage and no return ticket! Gee... who would think that could be an indicator?

But... according to our DHS Chief said "the system worked'! It looks like 'the system worked' about as well as the terrorist's bomb! Did we get lucky here? I think we did... and it's exposed another incompetent Obama appointment!

The Obama Administration has been so busy trying to destroy Capitalism and individual freedom, they've dropped the ball on their first priority... protecting our Homeland and citizens! If Janet Napolitano had any credibility she'd resign after making such a stupid statement. It's obvious she has no idea what she is doing! A vote of NO CONFIDENCE!

The only thing that worked in this situation was the passenger that jumped this guy and foiled the bombing.

Sincerely,
