1 TRILLION DOLLARS IN NEW TAXES ! ! !
House Speaker John Boehner wants to reduce the deficit by 4 TRILLION DOLLARS over ten years and B.H.O. wants 1 TRILLION dollars in tax's on top of the money he's all ready spent.
Now we have a stalemate.
I wonder why ?
To top it off he wants these tax increases with a promise he will promise tax reform at a later date.
I hope the GOP, EVEN THE RHINOS, don't fall for this boondoggle. According to the Wall Street Journal, B.H.O. has already signed the largest tax increase since 1993.
While everyone focuses on the Bush tax rates that expire after 2012, other tax increases are already set to hit the economy thanks to the 2010 Affordable Care Act. As a refresher, here's a non-exhaustive list of Obama Care's tax increases:
*The WSJ writes that in 2013, the bill adds an additional 0.9% to the 2.9% Medicare tax for singles who earn more than $200,000 and couples making more than $250,000.
*This will cost Taxpayers over 10 years: $210 billion.
*Starting in 2013 is a 2.3% excise tax on medical device manufacturers and importers. That's estimated to raise $20 billion.
*Already underway this year is, is a gift to the tax payers, the new annual fee on "branded" drug makers and importers, which will raise $27 billion.
*Another $15.2 billion will come from raising the floor on allowable medical deductions to 10% of adjusted gross income from 7.5%., all at the taxpayers expense.
*Starting in 2018, the bill imposes a whopping 40% "excise tax" for the taxpayers on high-cost health insurance plans. Though it only applies to two years in the 2010-2019 window of ObamaCare's original budget score, this tax would still raise $32 billion—and much more in future years.
*A new annual fee on health insurance providers starting in 2014 and estimated to raise $60 billion. This tax, like many others on this list, will be passed along to consumers in higher health-care costs.
This is just a partial list of new taxes we can look foward to. And it must be stopped if this Country has any chance of surviving B.H.O.'S ANTI-AMERICAN AGENDA ! ! !

I am A Constitutional Conservative that believes Washington D.C. is in need of a massive overhaul in all three branches of Government, and that the size of Government needs ton be cut by at least 25%. We need to cap the Debt Ceiling, and live within our means. And we must eliminate any part of the Government Pres. Wilson enacted, The Federal Reserve, the I.R.S. and a few more Dept.of Energy and the Dept. of Interior. One more thing,term limits, no more Career Politicans.

IS D.C. TRYING TO SEND US A MESSAGE ? ? ?
U.S. REP. RON PAUL (R-TEX) is predicting bankruptcy.
He blames big Government for out of control spending and running up the deficit and increasing the debt ceiling.
Who can blame him for that logic.
Fox News reported Treasury Secretary Tim "Turbo Tax" Geithner said many Americans will face hard times for a long time to come.
OK, I can't argue with that logic either !
He also said "President Barack Obama rescued the United States from a second Great Depression."
OK, no way in Hell can I agree with that.
B.H.O. will be putting us in a Great Depression shortly if he doesn't help the GOP cap the DEBT CEILING, REDUCE THE DEFICIT BY AT LEAST 4 TRILLION DOLLAR'S.
AND REDUCE SPENDING SUBSTANTIALLY.
We all know that D.C. likes to blow smoke up our skirts ocassionally. ( figure of speech, I don't wear skirts.)
Unfortuately I am starting to see messages in the messages. I know, i know.......This is standard Washington D.C.
Is D.C. trying to tell us they can't fix the mess they created since President Woodrow Wilson was in office ?

House Speaker Rep. John Boehner and GOP cave in to B.H.O.'s DEMANDS
Well........I finally figured out what chore B.H.O. is capable of doing in D.C.
Strongarming Speaker Boehner and the rest ouf the House on the Hill.
He has proved more than once he can do that.
The GOP wanted 4 TRILLION in Deficit Cuts, the socialists left wing wanted 2 TRILLION in deficit cuts.
GUESS WHO WON ! (keep in mind, the GOP holds the keys to the HOUSE.)
B.H.O. and his socialist minions.
Boehner and the GOP caved because they new B.H.O.wants to hike taxes. The deal is 2 TRILLION in cuts and no tax hike.
My guess is taxes will go up, and we probably will never ever see a reduction in the Deficit. In fact they still plan to raise the Debt Ceiling !
I said it before and I'll say it again........WE ONLY HAVE ONE POLITICAL PARTY IN THIS COUNTRY ! ! !........AND IT TIME FOR A SECOND POLITICAL PARTY.
Anybody who thinks we have a two party system, is tragically mistaken.
We need someone to stand up and have the conviction in their heart to run on a SERIOUS third, I mean second party. They will need some serious financial backing from somewhere, that's why we have a one party system.
More to follow.
Yours in Liberty !

B.H.O FINALLY ADMITS "ECONOMY HAS A LONG WAY TO GO."
I really don't know where to start on this one.
I could sit here all day and write on this subject, and still have to come back tomorrow to to finish.
The Labor Dept. reported that the private sector employers added 18,000 new jobs in June. That is the fewest amount of jobs created in nine months.
Incredible......
The jobless rate jumped to 9.2 % from 9.1 %. The job growth is not even keeping up with the population growth. Kinda scary huh ? It would take 125,000 new jobs just to keep pace with the population growth.
The President found a new word on his teleprompter. He is blaming "headwinds" for the uptick in unemployment. Webster's dictionary describes headwinds as a rise in gasoline prices, the European Financial Crises, State and local budget cuts and last but not least, uncertainly over the Dept Limit. Don't look for a copy of the dictionary in your local bookstore, I think The President received the one and only copy.
Like I said, I could spend all day writing this, but I'm not going to.
When Obama took office, the economy is down 2.5 million jobs. OUCH ! ! ! The jobless rate has been at 9 percent. What do you think the chances are that B.H.O. will be re-elected.
In June, businesses added the fewest jobs in more than a year. Governments cut 39,000 jobs. Over the past eight months, federal, state and local governments have cut a combined 238,000 positions.
Fox News reports that In June, businesses added the fewest jobs in more than a year. Governments cut 39,000 jobs. Over the past eight months, federal, state and local governments have cut a combined 238,000 positions.
Unemployment has never been so high so long after a recession ended. At the same point after the previous three recessions, unemployment averaged just 6.8 percent.
Average hourly wages declined last month. After-tax incomes, adjusted for inflation, have been flat this year. The average work week declined to 34.3 hours, from 34.4, which means employers demanded less work from their existing staffs.
The number of unemployed workers rose almost 175,000 to 14.1 million, pushing up the unemployment rate. The number of long-term unemployed -- those without a job for 27 weeks or more -- made up nearly half of that number.

THE END OF AN ERA .......SHUTTLE STS-135 ATLANTIS SET FOR FINAL JOURNEY.
04.12.81...............Shuttle STS-1
I was 21 yrs. old, wet behind the ears, getting ready to start a new career of my own. Selling Buick's during the ugliest recession in history, (up 'til now, we're in the recession that won't go away!)
NASA was getting ready to start something new. Up until now we sent manned rockets up that had a capsule that would separate from the rocket, and become self supporting. I followed the space program as I was growing up.
Now NASA had something new. They developed a "Shuttle" that started out with two booster rockets and a fuel tank with enough fuel in it to get the Shuttle into orbit. Once in orbit, the Shuttle could hook up with the manned space station, all ready under construction. the The fleet of Shuttles actually transported parts of the space station to the construction site.
NASA had five Shuttles. Columbia, Challenger, Atlantis, Endeavour and Discovery.
Unfortunately NASA lost two of its Shuttles is Space tragedies. Challenger exploded seconds after lift off. on 01.28.86. Faulty fuel line o-rings were to blame. Our nation mourned a tragic loss as all members of the Shuttle perished.
The second Shuttle tragedy occurred 2.1.2003.
The Shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon re-entry into the earths atmosphere. Faulty tiles to cool the Shuttles undercarriage were deemed defective. Again, our Nation wipedc it's tears.
Hopefully, someday the U.S.A. will proudly enter our own space travel again.

B.H.O. IS ATTEMPTING POLITICAL SUICIDE ! ! !
I'm convinced B.H.O. does not want to be President anymore.
Personally I'm quite O.K. with that !
According to Fox News, " President Obama will propose to congressional leaders today a plan that trades an immediate increase to the federal government’s $14.3 trillion credit limit and increased taxes in exchange for a bouquet of immediate and prospective spending cuts and tweaks to entitlement and welfare programs, including Medicare and Social Security. "
I think this guy is becoming totally unhinged.
Seriously !
Give us a raise in the Debt Ceiling and raise taxes and as a side dish, cuts in Medicare and Social Security.
Here's an idea ! ! !..........get rid of the Federal Reserve, The IRS, The Dept. Education and all the other wasteful Governmental boondoggles and cut taxes at the same time !
D.C. just doesn't get it .
IT HAS NEVER BEEN A REVENUE PROBLEM ! ! ! ! IT'S A SPENDING PROBLEM ! ! !
GET THAT THROUGH YOU'RE THICK SKULLS !

HEY UNIONS....HOW IS THAT MARRIAGE WITH BARACK OBAMA WORKING OUT FOR YA !
Seems like the love affair between B.H.O. and the Labor Unions is dying, and dying fast.
The fat cats at the top of the unions like AFL-CIO Presidet Richard Trumka and others are finding they are not getting the bang for their buck like they thought they would.
Mr.Trumka was quoted at a National Press Club meeting, (now that's a marriage made in heaven !)
“You can be a friend and make a mistake once in a while. And we forgive you for that mistake. The difference is this: that we're not going to spend precious resources helping candidates that don't stand up and help us.
WOAH !.....Barack needs these Unions in 2012 to win re-election, are the in his back pocket ? I believe Barack is not delivering the goods promised in 2008. That could be politically fatal !
The NEA, SEIU, and the American Federation are not saying too much.......and that's sending bad signals.
A few GOP hopefuls are actually courting the Unions ! Former Gov. Mitt Romney and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty to name a few. That could spell danger for the Dems in 2012.
Nov.2012 is a bit in the distance, although I believe you can see the writing on the wall.
Barack.........you are in trouble. Call in the Harlem Globe Trotters, you're going to need them !

Michelle Bachman : PLEASE SIGN THE PLEDGE ! ! !
There is a very important piece of paper floating around the hall of Congress these days, It is called the Cut , Cap and Balance Pledge.
The name alone would would have me signing it !
The brainchild of the Republican Study Committee, has been gaining lots of support in recent days as another litmus test for Republican candidates. It calls for immediate spending cuts to reduce the deficit by half next year. It would also impose enforceable caps that bring spending in line with average revenues at 18 percent of the GDP. It would require House and Senate passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution. GOP contender Jon Huntsman is the only other candidate not to sign it.
Some believe the pledge eases the tension that the debt ceiling gridlock is presently paralyzing Congress. But Bachmann wants more out of the pledge, by defunding President Obama's Affordable Healthcare Act. She says she's "mulling over" signing the pledge.
This pledge, if instituted would be nothing short of historical.
If a GOP candidate wants the White House, they must sign this pledge.
C'mon Michelle, sign it !

THANK YOU "Being Conservative" for the following information !
Happy Independence Day!
July 4th, 1776: The Declaration of Independence is adopted by the Continental Congress, proclaiming that the 13 United States colonies are no longer under British rule.
THANK YOU "GodVine" for the following passage :
"For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." - 2 Corinthians 3:17

Declaration of Independence
Here is the complete text of the Declaration of Independence.
The original spelling and capitalization have been retained.
(Adopted by Congress on July 4, 1776)
The Unanimous Declaration
of the Thirteen United States of America
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.
He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states:
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing taxes on us without our consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses:
For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule in these colonies:
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments:
For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.
We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.
He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states:
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing taxes on us without our consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses:
For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule in these colonies:
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments:
For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.
We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

I'M BACK ! ! !.........AND MY STORY IS NOT A HAPPY ONE.
To all my faithful viewers around the world, ( and yes, I have a global audience. ) it has been since 4.14.11 that I posted a blog.
A lot has happened in our world.
Osama Bin Laden was captured and killed by the U.S. Navy Seals. That was probably the biggest news story of the year. If anything it ties in importance with Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami. I hope our friends in Japan are recovering at Godspeed.
And this being a Political blog, let's not forget D.C's Hot Potato ............Capping the DEBT CEILING !
Notice I said the word capping.
Congress LISTEN UP ! IF YOU DON'T CAP THE DEBT CEILING :
First & foremost, It will destroy our country,
Second, anyone dumb enough in Congress, I don't care what party, who even thinks of raising the DEPT CEILING will be thrown out of office so quick they will think a tornado hit them !
OK, now my story, It's not pretty.
Back about the time I posted my last blog, a series of events started happening in my life I thought I'd never experience.
My wife lost her job. Very long story, still she lost her job. I have been waiting for SSD (disability) since Nov. '08. I do have a hearing pending anytime now. I still don't have any money.
You know where this is going.
Did I mention my wife is a Former Marine ?
To make a long story short..........We were evicted from our apartment Memorial Day weekend.
My wife and step-daughter are staying with my Mother-in-law. I stayed there two weeks. It's a very small two bedroom Section 8 apartment. I decided to go to my daughters to allow my wife, step-daughter and mother-in-law more space.
My daughters house is a three bedroom ranch, and she has two daughters. I really felt like I was putting a burden on them. I did stay with them for about a week and a half.
So here I am, staying at the Adams County Shelter for the Homeless. It is located in Gettysburg, Pa. Odd how this all worked out on the 4th of July weekend
I am very grateful to have a roof over my head, yet I miss my wife and step-daughter dearly !
I know with God's grace this "situation" will be over soon.
I just want everyone reading my blog to take a minute to pray for the homeless in our country, especially our Veterans !
Yours in Liberty !
