I believe it was Rick Santelli from CNBC that got this whole business started, give credit where credit is due. These protests were going before the miserable pundits over at Fox News even knew what was going on. The only difference between Fox News’ coverage of the tea parties, and the rest of the media’s coverage of the tea parties is that Fox News has seen a glimpse of the truth and can no longer help themselves. The same belligerent retards that have belittled Libertarian ideals for so long now champion many of our views, how ironic.

Remember kids, when you can’t win a civil debate with facts and reasoning it is always best to raise your voice and talk over your adversary.  Not only will you believe you win, but you also look like a total asshat.  As much as I hate the bailout in it’s every form, Rep. Sestak is correct in every thing he says.  It’s not in the bill, and it’s purely speculation, conspiracy theory if you will.  In fact Mr. Hannity, you sound just like those conspiracy theorists you enjoy yelling over to prove you’ve won.

Shit, I feel dirty embedding from MediaMatters.

I doubt it will be lost on any Obama supporters that Senator Byrd is a former Klansman. He certainly has a legitimate argument, but the left will beat him down as a racist.

For one, the left will be the first to play the “Burdens the Low Income Families” card.  However once said card is played, it can be instantly rebutted by pointing out that said liberanazi should read Chapter 3 of the Bill and also reminding them that the majority of states in the US do not place an income tax on unprepared food and prescription medication, the only two neccesities of life that are purchased in such a way that a tax might be applicable. These two justifications completely null the “progressive” argument against a fair tax.

Furthermore, this bill would also be a key in dealing with the problem of illegal immigration milking our public systems.  Illegal immigrants in this country have a very large amount of purchasing power and disposable income, however as of now very few pay a tax of any kind.  By implying a flat rate sales tax on goods purchased these illegal immigrants will now also be contributing taxes to our governments coffers.

As anyone reading this should be able to tell, I vehemently support a flat rate sales tax that applies to all who make purchases.  It’s fair, it makes sense, and most importantly it rids us of yet another government agency.  Contact your local represeantives so we can hopefully see this bill make progress.

“I think it’s absolutely time to pass a standard. Now, whether it’s called the Fairness Standard, whether it’s called something else – I absolutely think it’s time to be bringing accountability to the airwaves. I mean, our new president has talked rightly about accountability and transparency. You know, that we all have to step up and be responsible. And, I think in this case, there needs to be some accountability and standards put in place.”

God forbid we practice free speech and capialism in this country.  Oh wait, capitalism has already gone away with the nationalization of our banks, guess it’s time to piss all over the 1st Amendment also.   Ms. Stabenow was asked whether we would see hearings this year in regards to the “fairness” doctrine and answered, “I have already had some discussions with colleagues and, you know, I feel like that’s gonna happen. Yep.”

It’s a shame when legislators can’t sit back and allow the free market to regulate it’s self.  What’s the big deal anyways about talk radio?  Is it the fact that the “progressive” radio stations fail, NPR for instance, or is it the fact that conservative talk radio stations profit from producing an enteraining show that listeners follow?    Apparently according to a 2007 report “”The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio,” the problem is as follows:

Our conclusion is that the gap between conservative and progressive talk radio is the result of multiple structural problems in the U.S. regulatory system, particularly the complete breakdown of the public trustee concept of broadcast, the elimination of clear public interest requirements for broadcasting, and the relaxation of ownership rules including the requirement of local participation in management.”

Keep in mind these are not public broadcasting stations that host the “right wing radio”, they’re private coorporations.

In closing I leave you with this!

Read it all, you won’t regret it.

I was hoping we could get something like that into the legislature.

Edit: Apparently several other states have similar legislation. I believe there are 8: Arizona, Hawaii, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Washington.

“I do believe that there will be people in districts all over the country that will wonder why, when there’s a good bill to get the economy moving again, why we still seem to be playing political gotcha,” Gibbs said.

First of all, thank god someone is doing their jobs protecting the tax payers from corrupt tyrants.

Second, wtf is this “political gotcha”. What exactly are the dems trying to put over on us that the republicans are getting them on? I smell a rat, and I don’t like it one bit.

MoveOn has plans to start an ad campaign to squelch political dissent to the Democrats plans.

I have to say I respect the Republicans for finally taking a stand on something. Of course the Dems don’t need the Republican vote to pass a damned thing, so what does it matter.  We are going to see a huge propaganda campaign against any politician that doesn’t tow the party line.  I’m furious.

The perfect storm is here, batten down the hatches.

Is always a pleasure to watch Ron Paul on the 24 Hour News Networks. They react like common sense is crazy talk.

The governor is no choir boy, but the real monsters are hiding behind indignation and the huge stink being made about his crimes.
