I love this story. This is a perfect view of our unraveling liberty.
In New York, Democrats actually locked the doors to the senate chamber to keep out Republicans.
This is awesome! You know government is falling apart when one party is so corrupt that it takes illegal action against the other party and against the very people who elected them.
Actually the democrats are just angry because someone is finally standing up to them. Either way the arrogance and raw corruption in both parties is showing vividly in Now York today.

Al Gore to make billions.
Cap and trade will enslave Americans but at least Al Gore will make billions from the deal.

Gee, I wonder if that is why he has been forcing the global warming MYTH down our throats for so many years even while the Earth cools down.
Sorry, if I sound angry or sarcastic. This story has my 'I told you so' meter swinging off the scales.

Chinese Hummer Anyone?
Hummer is being sold to a Chinese company.
Nothing symbolizes the death of capitalism and the rise of socialism better.

25% Federal Sales Tax is Red Herring
Our national government is trying to pass a national sales tax of 25%. They call it a value added tax. I call it complete crap.
First, this tax is a red herring. Democrats ask for a 25% tax because all they want is some tax. Even 1% would satisfy them because they only want to plant a seed. They want the American people to get used to a national tax so they can increase it later. Republicans are so stupid that, rather than fight such a tax to the death as our founders would have done, they will compromise and call it their victory when only a 5% national sales tax is actually passed. Democrats are puppetmasters to be sure.
Second, a national sales tax will destroy what is left of our economy. Consumption will plummet and more people will begin trading for goods. The black markets will flourish.
Third, a small (read .25% or so) national sales tax would be a fine idea IF THERE WERE NO OTHER FEDERAL TAXES AND THE TAX ITSELF IS PERMANENTLY CAPPED. As long as there are other federal taxes being drawn no national sales tax should be imposed.
Fourth, once a national sales tax is imposed it will never be taken away. If you have no other reason to oppose a national sales tax this should do it. Government takes but it never really gives anything back. Any politician who claims the sales tax is temporary should have his lobotomy reversed. Even a stupid child would understand that if the government gets people to pay anything they will always have to pay something.
Finally, politicians may try to drop the national sales tax and instead push for taxes on production and importation of goods. This is the same thing. Companies do not pay taxes. Their customers do. Increase the costs of production, transportation, or any other aspect of providing goods and services and the company will increase its prices. This is basic economics.
The bottom line is that a national sales tax is tyranny. The actual point is who cares? Our government is almost completely corrupt in every way and our citizenry is so apathetic, uneducated, and patently stupid that freedom is doomed.
Any form of taxation at gunpoint is tyranny.

Today's Headlines should read "The Certain Death of Liberty has Arrived"
I am clipping links to some of today's news stories to illustrate the death of liberty.
First, the war on Christianity continues with a San Diego County trying to stop private Bible studies in a private home. Witch Hunt anyone?
http://www.10news.com/news/19562217/detail.html
Next, Nancy Pelosi has declared that "every aspect of our lives must be subjected to inventory." Hitler tried the same thing.
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hLcZ2jQ4mu4rd7XlB3hetiVn1qbAD98F32AG0
Third, the American government now owns 72.5% of General Motors with the United Auto Workers Union owning another 17.5%. Marx would be so proud.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/GM-makes-new-bondholder-offer-rb-15370745.html?.v=8
Fourth, and most Hitleresque of all; Obama is targeting and shutting down car dealers who disagree with him politically -- whether profitable or not.
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/Furor-grows-over-partisan-car-dealer-closings-46261447.html
If these stories do not boil your blood with terror or anger then nothing will. Today's headlines prove that liberty is in its final days.
And I didn't even include anything about the Sotomayer appointment to the Supreme Court which is obviously based on race, gender, and politics rather than merit or qualifications. Seriously, this woman has been reversed 60% of the time in her decisions. That alone should disqualify her. Does anyone seriously think that the most qualified person in the country to sit on the Supreme Court is a Hispanic woman?
Sorry, Martin Luther King Jr., your dream is long dead.

Star Trek Movie
Spoiler alert! Do not read this unless you have seen the new Star Trek movie.
I hate time travel. Until now.
Let me explain why.
Most time travel movies change the movie history or real history. Usually, time travel saves the day and everything goes to exactly as it was before or better. I can't think of any time travel movie where things were worse at the end of the movie.
But Star Trek did something that has not only never been done before, but could not have ever been done before. First, Star Trek completely wiped out its own legacy. Everything that happened in the numerous movies and television series (except Enterprise) was wiped out. But even that is not enough to reduce my hatred of time travel. Indeed, wiping out its own history is really just a marketing tactic, though brilliantly done.
The reason Star Trek was revolutionary and why I enjoyed the time travel aspect of this movie is because we now get to live an alternate future. No other movie can do that. We grew up with Star Trek and lived with it through more than 30 years. We know the characters and the stories because we lived them too. We know who dies, how they die, and when they die. We explored the universe with Kirk, Picard, Janeway (boo) and we experienced Star Trek for 30 plus years. It is as much a part of our lives as anything else in our culture. But now all of that is gone.
The true brilliance of purging its own history though is that we get to re-live those decades all over again and things may not (probably will not) ever be the same. Will Kirk ever have trouble with tribbles? Will Kirk ever know, need, or use the Corbomite maneuver? Will Picard ever meet Q? Will Janeway ever stop crying? Only time will tell. Maybe that stuff happens differently now or never at all. The point is we get to wonder as though we are or were actual participants in those events and in the time travel that purged those events. We are Spock -- sort of.
The bottom line is that new Star Trek movie was incredible in its use of time travel. Only Star Trek could wipe out OUR decades of experiences and OUR decades of knowledge and allow us to re-live a different history. No other film could even try to do that.
This movie brilliantly reinvented Star Trek and paved the way for another 30 years of Star Trek. Star Trek will live long and prosper.

Banking Riots for Morons
Riots are starting in England -- against the banking industry.
G20 protesters smash windows, clash with police
What is wrong with these people? They are actually mad at the banks? It was the banks who gave them loans to buy homes and cars and it was the banks who gave them a safe place to keep their wealth. The banks helped them out in times of need. The banks simplifyed their lives with debit and credit cards. And, it was the banks that organized their finances with online banking and bill pay. The banks they are rioting against provided these people with services that are extremely beneficial, convenient, and at times crucial.
Even now, these people all continue using these banking services. I wonder how many rioters stopped at an ATM on the way home from a long day of rioting. Or, how many rioters will even see the irony of using their bank issued credit card to post bail when they are arrested or to pay medical bills for riot related injuries.
These rioters -- I refuse to call them mere protesters -- are the biggest idiots known to man.
Government controls caused this banking "crisis" and government spending keeps fueling the fire. Regardless of the truth, these rioters are so stupid that they believe the lies of the liberal media and liberal government and have channeled their rage at the very hand that feeds them.
Government is to blame. If you are going to protest, complain, or riot at least point yourself at the guilty party. Leave the bankers alone. Bankers are people too.

Direct Taxes Will Set America Free
America is not free. Anyone who disagrees with me please challenge me on the issue. There is not one single aspect of your life that is not controlled, approved, or taxed by your government in some way. That is intolerable oppression.
The problem is apathy. No one pays attention to these controls or taxes so either no one cares or they do not even know it is happening. As long as people feel free it does not matter to them that they are not. And, America fosters apathy rather than defeats it. Education, media, and the courts are all controlled by liberals who have carefully crafted these institutions over the decades into creating a mindless populace. Most "conservative" sources have even started leaning left in the last few decades.
My solution to this apathy is really simple. I propose an amendment to our federal Constitution that requires the government agencies who tax us to tax us directly. No more bundling taxes into your phone, power, water, and cable bills. No more withholding from your paycheck. No more financing sales tax into your car payment. No more concealing taxes into the price of gas and cigarettes. Under my solution, all taxes must be billed directly from the responsible government agency.
Think about the aftermath.
Within only two or three months after receiving dozens of bills for dozens of taxes from dozens of different government entities this country would revolt. Many would be unable to pay their monthly income taxes because they are so oppressively high and hardly anyone would buy a house or car knowing that a lump sum tax bill is immediately due.
More importantly, Americans would be paying attention. Imagine the accountability this Amendment would create. Every penny in tax increases would be immediately felt and people would become far more attentive to all government actions.
Would anyone at all even tolerate taxes at their current rates if they had to see them and pay them separately? No way.
If we want to be free we have to end apathy. Our Constitution should encourage awareness and require governmental honesty. If they want to tax us into destruction make them do it openly.

Turn On for Earth Hour
Earth hour is tomorrow so I just wanted to post a quick reminder.
Please turn on all your lights and appliances from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. so that we can remind that arrogant Mother Earth that it is her duty to provide us energy. We own her and she serves us. A brightly lit house with a few bundles of Christmas lights on the porch should send the proper message. Let's never let Earth forget that mankind is her superior. Indeed, if she ever defies us again we should probably consider destroying her outright. Of course, we all know that mankind is completely incapable of actually destroying the Earth but that can be our little secret.
In any event, if Mother Earth doesn't get the hint from all those lights on at my house maybe the liberal eco-idiots who want to control my usage of energy will. Live free or die.

California is Racist
California wants to ban black cars. Seriously. Black cars.
http://wardsauto.com/commentary/cool_paints_ugly_090324/
The fact that California is banning black cars doesn't actually surprise me at all. In fact, I am surprised they aren't banning white cars. Those crackers blind me with their highly reflective white superiority.
For the record, I drive two gray cars since I believe in judging a car by its character, not its color.
