* Hey, I know what will create more jobs: More taxes!
I haven’t even seen a Democrat attempt to explain how exactly taxing rich people leads to job growth. It’s a logical leap too far for even the most craven partisan. I guess the best they could do now is to say they’re taking money from the rich and then using it instead for Obama’s jobs bill.
Think about that: We’re taking money from the rich — people in this country who have proven they can build wealth and create and expand businesses (thus making jobs) — and instead giving it to Obama who has proven he can spend a trillion dollars to no noticeable effect.
They call the right “anti-science”, but the left seem to be anti-basic logic. What are the left these days but a bunch of people patting themselves on the back for believing evolution while walking into traffic?
* Apparently a couple hundred people gathered at Wall Street over the weekend to have a “Day of Rage” to protest… who knows what. And don’t you think it would have been more effective if they did it while Wall Street was actually open? Maybe they have school weekdays — I kinda doubt they have jobs.
We have too many pointless protests in this country. I guess it comes from a misreading of history where people think big change was caused by poster board with rhyming slogans. “Hey, let’s get some placards and write stuff on it and then the world will change!” Yes, protest marches have happened in concurrence with change, but I think we’re not understanding cause and effect. If anything ever was changed exclusively by a protest, it must have been a pretty pointless thing to begin with.
* The Palestinians are turning to the U.N. to get statehood. I think Palestinians statehood is a great idea because the one thing the Middle East doesn’t have enough of is violent Muslim countries. We could really use another one. Maybe one that hates Israel. Of course, if Palestine ever gets statehood, I assume Israel would just bomb and invade them as an enemy country.
Maybe we can just give Palestinians a special place in the U.N…. like maybe a cage hanging from the ceiling.
* I keep being amazed there is opposition to having to present an ID to vote. People keep trying to act like this is controversial, even though a super majority support it (and are probably surprised there is even a debate). I keep seeing this anti-reality statement that there is no record of voter fraud so none exists. Oh really; we don’t check for voter fraud, and thus we have no record of it. How conclusive!
Oh, I just got an email from Chicago; they say they’ve done a study no voter fraud has ever existed ever. That settles it.
Some are trying to make an issue of this with Perry because they passed a voter ID law in Texas, and he should really run with it. If any on the Democrat side wants to be against it, make them carry the pro-voter fraud label as there is no — NO — logical reason to be against having to prove you can vote before voting other than that you are for voter fraud and think it will help your side. We can’t let people this craven get away with quietly holding this view.

Yeah, that’s all you’re getting from me.
eventually there will be a compromise on voter ID. the libs will settle for ID on white people and legal aliens only.
Inasmuch as I hate to disagree with your conclusions, Frank J. I must disconcur. It’s not so much that liberals fear the loss of votes as it is that they dread the extra effort of making and distributing fake ID’s.
There you go trying to deny dead black people the right to vote. You are a raciest necrophobe. I bet you don’t like dead white people voting either.
Give the Palestinians our seat in the UN.
Oh yeh, give Palestine their own country, how about we give them Lebanon? The government there doesn’t use it much, Jordan and Syria have a lot of unused space and Israel needs a new impact range for missile defense training.
Hugh the PC term is life impaired. They are life impaired people…not dead people.
I’m going to put on my khakis and walk the dog. I’m calling it the Day of Beige.
A cop pulls me over and asks for my ID. “What do you think, I’m trying to vote or something?”
I can safely say no person whose funeral I have done has ever voted democrat afterwards.
I say move Palestine and U.N. headquarters to a part of the U.S. that serves no useful purpose..Chicago. The violent muzzies can’t possibly make it any more violent or corrupt.
Frank’s protest comment… WINNER !!!!!!!!
That photo is obviously a picture of Nicholas Cage’s great-grandfather who, as we all know from National Treasure: Book of Secrets, was in the Civil War.
BTW: Contrary to the title that movie is NOT a treasure, national or otherwise.
Cage can’t possibly be a civil-war vampire, as he’s not wearing dark glasses:

On this whole ‘rich people should pay more taxes’ note, I keep hearing the Dems say how something is wrong when Warren Buffet pays less in taxes than his secretary. I hear Warren Buffet say the same thing. Dear Warren Buffet: You can stop hiding your cash any ol’ time you like and pay taxes through your nose if it makes you happy. What’s that? You can do more good and give more to charity if you hide it and pay less in taxes? Oh, we thought so, too. Welcome to the Right. We have cupckaes. Stay a while.
Poor Obama. I think he needs a choir of vikings following him around. Every time he says “Pass this bill” the
vikings will go “Spend, spend, spend, spend. Lovely spend! Wonderful spend! “. Of course, the republicans
can just reply “We don’t like spend. Do you have anything without spend?”
Frank, you used to do International Talk Like a Pirate Day every year and be real gung ho with it. Arrr! Wha happened?
How about international talk like a liberal day?
“We had to spend the money in order to save it.”
Good one Burma!
Burma gets the award for best comment by a poster for the day. Went West comes oin a close second.
High Praise for Burma from us commenters, storm1911?
“By the power vested in us by the IMAO Master, Frnak J., we hereby
declaregrant youman and wifeHigh Praise!!”“The Palestinians are turning to the U.N. to get statehood.”
Yes, meaning that soon Obama will have another leader to bow to.
@Comment 8:
Storm you are on to something, but even Chicago does not deserve that. How about we just relocate the UN to the Gaza Strip? NYC has better uses for prime real estate and the Gaza strip deserves the UN.
Hi Praise grantors are teh ghey! Every single last one of ’em!
I have just finished reporting each and every one of you to AttackWatch. My poor fingers are bloody and sore, but it’s a good sore! I can go rest them knowing I’ve done my duty as a real American and have reported true threats to Our Dear Leader (May He Live Forever) and I shall be rewarded in this life or the next! lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala!
That’s right, I’ve snapped! The 1.5 large in tax increases this morning posted on Drudge pushed me over the edge. I obviously don’t get it so I’m going with Obama’s plan. I’m just too stupid to understand anything anymore! I’m also super down since the CERN guys say that Higgs boson probably doesn’t exist and so pretty much everything they have been saying about Physics since 1970 is BS…
I’m sorry, USS Jimmy Carter, your current President has put you to shame. Go here:

Frank,
It’s settled politics – there is NO voter fraud. Anyone who says otherwise is a denier and is worse than Hitler. They should be marginalized and have all their political funding taken away because all collected evidence says there is no voter fraud so looking into it any more is a waste of time and money.
Obama’s jobs bill:
1) tax rich people
2) ??????
3) Jobs!!
When Congress visits the Alternate Reality to “Pass this bill!” that isn’t, technically, a bill – at least in this reality – they can pick up some spare jobs and revenue and bring those back with them. A unicorn that cr@ps rainbows would be nice, too. Put it on the list, Congresspersons! We want jobs, revenue, and unicorns! In fact, we DEMAND jobs, revenue, and unicorns! And . . . a shrubbery! Days of rage!!!
@zzyzx: “Life impaired” admits an impairment, which suggests inferiority or something amiss, just as “disabled” did before it was replaced with “differently abled.” The non-living are “differently animate.”
Maybe it’s may my American pride in the Declaration of Independence, but I think if you have to ask for statehood you don’t deserve it. When Palestine can say, “Yo, I’m a state, bitches!” and the rest of the world says, “Ok, fine, you’re a state,” without laughing, then they qualify.
But could set a nice precedent. If the UN can make a state, does that mean it can unmake a state, too? Maybe we can finally get rid of those annoying French.

Considering much of the rest of the post wouldn’t Arrrg! fit better?
As a former resident of Illinois (left the day before Governor Alphabet, the one with the hair, got dragged down to the pokey by the Feds) I saw with my own eyes that in Chicago, every day is Opposite Day. So that email must mean something else.
What are the left these days but a bunch of people patting themselves on the back for believing evolution while walking into traffic?
That is a money quote. Simple, to the point, evocative, and true.
So what you’re saying is that the woman’s right to vote, which was won because a group of women stood outside the White House in the freezing cold of winter, who were arrested on manufactured charges and jailed in labor camps, who staged a hunger strike while in prison, forcing the president to support the cause or watch these women die, is “pretty pointless?”
You’re saying that equality for blacks and the abolition of the Jim Crow laws, something that practically had to be forced down President Kennedy’s throat through demonstrations across the nation, is “pretty pointless?”
It seems to me that you sit here on your website posting to like minded people who do very little to challenge your beliefs so that you can have your ego stroked and continue to live in your delusional little world.
By the way, those people in NYC are protesting the corruption of the banks whose foolish, criminal practices (particularly in the housing market) have greatly contributed to to the collapse of our economy.
“people in this country who have proven they can build wealth and create and expand businesses (thus making jobs) ” Really? So where are those jobs. Big corporations have had Bush tax cuts for quite some time now. That they fear people won’t spend money for the products produced is a stupid excuse, seeing as how America is full of consumers who buy blindly from Wal-mart, complain when their kid gets led poisoning then continue to buy blindly anyway. Corporations are hoarding that money over seas instead of putting what would otherwise be tax money back into our economy. From my point of view they’ve shown that they’re greedy and irresponsible and, therefore, do not deserve to continue being favored in our system.
The Palestinians should get statehood so that Obama can tell us that he’s been to all 58 states.
#30 – Lesley,
Corporations are hoarding that money over seas instead of putting what would otherwise be tax money back into our economy.
“what would otherwise be tax money” is the reason they’re hoarding it overseas in the first place. Duh!
“what would otherwise be tax money” is money taken out of the economy and pissed away by government.
The money taxed by government and spent by government does not grow the economy, because it has to be taken out of the economy first.
Even if every dime of tax money was spent within the USA, it would still be a zero-sum game.
Money earned by private business and invested by private business Does grow the economy because it’s used to create new products, new jobs, and therefore new wealth.
Knuckleheads acting up in front of cameras on a weekend in New York = Women’s Suffrage or The Civil Rights Movement?
Not even close.
