Joe Biden says to pay taxes is patriotic – not so much charity. Not patriotic and owes taxes, Tom Daschle… $140,000; Charles Rangel… many, many dollars, so many properties – who knows; Timothy Geithner… about $40,000 plus hiring an illegal; Eric Holder… helping to release a master criminal and terrorist. It’s not only taxes they don’t pay. They have other moral lapses. Chris Dodd… Countrywide; Kent Conrad… Countrywide; Barney Frank… intern lovers – his house was used by one of his lovers for a homosexual bordello; Jack Murtha… barely escaped an FBI sting – master of earmarks and anti military; then of course we have Governor Blagojevich; William Jefferson… with his cold cash; Governor James McGreevey of New Jersey… kicked out of office for his sexual proclivities; Governor Eliot Spitzer of New York… prostitution scandal.
Whatever Democrats do is ok and protected by all the other Democrats. They hang together so they won’t hang separately. On the other side, the Republicans don’t stand up for their own, EVER – case in point, Trent Lott – made an innocent statement at a funeral to honor an old man who had served in Congress for many, many years. He was stripped of his position as Senate leader by his fellow Senators. It’s an INNOCENT mistake when Democrats don’t pay their taxes, and Democrats protect each other. But if it’s a Republican, the other Republicans will abandon him. They are easily cowed. Nancy Pelosi says it doesn’t matter what we do since, as she says, Obama and her won.
Now let’s talk about a well hidden agenda by the Democrats – that is the shutting down of the voice of talk radio, as you can see, by the attacks against Rush Limbaugh by Obama and other Democrats. First time I ever heard of an individual attacked by a President. Obama is a very smart politician – to shut down as many opposition voices as you can as you can see by another tack he has just taken in appointing Judd Gregg as Secretary of Commerce, taking another vote from the Republicans approaching a near filibuster-proof majority. If he was honest in this, he would get a promise from the Governor of New Hampshire that he would appoint a Republican Senator to replace Judd Gregg.
The Democrats are good at this type of under-handedness. Remember Jeffords – another north eastern Senator who switched parties, allowing the Democrats to take control of the Senate with Tom Daschle? Thank goodness Daschle was defeated. Now I wish the same fate would happen to mealy mouthed Harry Reid. If Judd Gregg allows this, I will have the same regard for him as I had for Jeffords. As far as Conservative talk radio and the fear Obama has for it, I suggest he takes solace in the fact that Democrats have MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, NPR, PBS, CNN, and their own talk radio which is, unfortunately, rather dull.
Don’t forget he tried to keep dissent down in Missouri. At the time, I wrote that I feared that and likened it to the Third Reich. I say if he can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Free speech is the greatest commodity this country ever had and should never be taken away, which would be the death of this country.
The voices of many millions of Iraqis were heard this date and women who never had any rights were able to vote and, not only that, but running for office. I would hope that the Democrats in this country who demonized President Bush would at least be happy for the Iraqis and especially the women. The freedom being enjoyed by the least of them was bought by the blood of many young Americans and some other countries, young also. Was it worth it? I say to our young military and their leaders – it was not only worth it, it was a glorious event and something you can take pride in for the rest of your lives. Whether you will get any appreciation from the Iraqis will not be known for some time. To know this, all you have to do is look at the blood we shed for France, England, Holland, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, and many, many other countries in World War II. Do they appreciate what we did? It’s hard to know. They sure don’t show it by their support of our efforts in NATO and how they support us in the UN, but it was absolutely worth it. Even though Korea shows no appreciation for the blood of our young to keep them safe, it was worth it.
I think I have a right to talk. My oldest brother was in the South Pacific during World War II. Myself and another brother were in during Korea. And my youngest brother was stationed in Berlin during the Cold War.
One final note. I see where Obama has ordered the Pentagon to cut their budget by 10 percent. Wonder if any of the welfare bills will be cut. I got that bridge.
A comment – Sarah Palin pushing to have this stimulus bill passed as it stands has taken its toll with me. I couldn’t vote for her.
