• Obama Admin. Announces Tax on Chistmas Trees…to Improve ‘Image’ of Chistmas Trees

  November 9, 2011 at 1:29pm

  In reply to GreatGu.

  >>To pay for the new Federal Christmas tree image improvement and marketing program, the Department of Agriculture imposed a 15-cent fee on all sales of fresh Christmas trees by sellers of more than 500 trees per year (7 CFR 1214.52). <<

  Thanks, GREATGU, I was wondering if anyone was going to take note — since when can a department in the EXECUTIVE Branch impose a tax, any amount, on anything without legislation to do so being passed and signed? Congress did not delegate that mandated power, if I'm not mistaken, and legislation to tax the lovely Christmas tree must be introduced in the House, what gives? If someone has an explanation that is serious and concise, I'm interested to read it.

• Occupy Seattle Mob Tries to Pull Off ‘Citizen’s Arrest’ of JP Morgan CEO

  Wouldn’t what they are calling “citizen’s arrest“ be what we would call ”kidnapping.”

  __________

  Unless I am mistaken (and some legal-beagle please correct me), a “citizen’s arrest” must be made with a crime-in-progress, the citizenry-at-large does not have police powers, one cannot place another in custody at his whim. And when claiming to be making a “citizen’s arrest,” if the conditions apply, all he can do is detain while awaiting law enforcement. This idea that a mob was going to be able to snatch a private citizen off the streets while he was going about his business should indeed be considered a crime in and of itself, THEY were the ones for whom a “citizen’s arrest” could have been made.

• Report: Rep. Anthony Weiner Wants ObamaCare Waiver for NYC

  March 23, 2011 at 9:48pm

  He used the waivers as way to describe how flexible the law actually is and how “this notion that the government is shoving the bill down people’s throats” is not true.

  ********

  Does this idiot even understand common English? A law that requires a presidential waiver to release its obligation to follow it is NOT ‘flexible’ — good grief! It’s a good thing breathing is an automatic function of the human body, otherwise Mr. Weiner would be in serious trouble.

• MSNBC Host Calls 52% of MN Voters Ignorant (Because They‘re ’White’ & Elected Michele Bachmann?)

  March 15, 2011 at 9:39pm

  I always love it when these *geniuses* throw the ignorant tag at people thinking it means the same thing as stupid. I have never ever minded being called ignorant, in fact I readily admit it when I come across something of which I am unaware, it’s no insult at all.

  If I had a dime for every grammatical error these college-educated lamebrain loudmouths make in public, reading from their own prepared commentary to boot, I’d be set for life.

  >Oh, also, the unions make up 12 percent of workers — so stop saying they represent all of us. They don’t.

  Or as Rush put it, “Our mob is bigger than your mob.”

• Mission Accomplished: Scott Walker Signs Anti-Collective Bargaining Bill Into Law

  Posted before I could add my comment — the layoff notices being rescinded is one of the key points to the whole debate, that the state can still afford to keep these people on the payroll now. It will be overlooked or ignored by the lamestream of course, friend of the union bosses.

  >OH OH!! I wonder if we can get Pat to do that song he did the day after elections for Grayson, it was his own personal version o Happy Days are Here Again! That song made me laugh or days!!!

  LOLOLOL!! I’ve got his screamy-vocals in my head right now, excellent! That was one funny-a** deal, every couple of seconds, he’s doing another loser, HI-larious! Love Pat!!

• Update: Brother Jailed for Attacking Harry Potter Actress Who Dated Non-Muslim

  January 21, 2011 at 3:58pm

  >>Reuters says Afshan, who now lives in London, asked the judge in the case not to send her brother to jail. But judge Roger Thomas ignored that request, and instead sent Ashraf to prison for six months after he pleaded guilty.<<

  *****

  This woman is 22 years old and has an independent income, why was she still living *at home* when she had been abused by her brother before this incident? Why did she ask for her brother not to be sent to prison?

  This sounds like once again, the abused woman stays until it is too late. Now she lives in London, how far away is that from the family? How far is she willing to go to get away from what is surely coming to her?? She's an actress in the successful Harry Potter movies, doesn't she have enough dough to get outta Dodge??

  I lived in comunism in romania for 34 years , i was a ltcol in airforce and a airline pilot , i left behinde
  a fortune of more then half a million dollars – family staff – the one who beleive in socialism and comunism are super stupid idiots .
  no i do not like them to die , i love them to go to korea or cuba or china and live there forever .

  *****

  I’m so glad you were able to leave communism behind (but I do regret the loss of your fortune and more importantly, family members who didn’t understand, couldn’t see), and grateful you camer here to America. There are so many just like those you left, they don’t understand, they can’t see what you know, you experienced. We need folks like you to speak out, describe how life really is under communism, socialism, you who truly APPRECIATES freedom.

  America was the land of liberty for so many decades, we lose a bit of it every day it seems. I hope We The People will stop the slide and
