Reid my lips: $41 in tax increases for every $1 in spending cuts

Breitbart.com relates Congressional Budget Office figures for the Senate's bill that allegedly spares us from the "fiscal cliff."

Looks to me more like the US will go off the fiscal cliff, only the Senate is giving the Federal government a golden parachute. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the last-minute fiscal cliff deal reached by congressional leaders and President Barack Obama cuts only $15 billion in spending while increasing tax revenues by $620 billion-a 41:1 ratio of tax increases to spending cuts.

Leftist defies gun laws on TV in order to argue more gun laws would be effective

In a column for the Orange County Register, Mark Steyn makes the case in David Gregory could win a spot on "America's dumbest criminals."

The leftist consciously defied DC gun laws (even after checking with the police), and brandished a high capacity magazine in order to argue for the need for more gun laws. Say Dave, what's gonna make criminals obey laws when the finest, law-abiding elites won't obey even in the easy case of making a trivial point? Or maybe the real moral here is that leftists are really just as criminal at heart as what we have come to know as criminals. More to the point, Gregory may be a candidate for American's dumbest leftist, too (and that's sayin' a lot!). As Steyn puts it: "David Gregory intended to demonstrate what he regards as the absurdity of America's lax gun laws. Instead, he's demonstrating the ever-greater absurdity of America's non-lax laws."

We told you last night about the radio ads put out by an anti-Amendment One group, declaring that Tuesday's ballot issue on charter schools was an effort to recreate an educational system that separates black and white students.

Lowery said Obama lost Georgia by 200,000 votes in 2008 while 390,000 black folks in Georgia did not vote. "I don't know what kind of a n-- wouldn't vote with a black man running," said Lowery. "All that he did with the stimulus was genius. Nobody intelligent would risk this country with Romney." . . . Lowery said that when he was a young militant, he used to say all white folks were going to hell. Then he mellowed and just said most of them were. Now, he said, he is back to where he was. "I'm frightened by the level of hatred and bitterness coming out in this election," said Lowery.

According to a report last month by academics at Stanford and New York universities, between 2,562 and 3,325 people have been killed since the strikes in Pakistan began in 2004.

The report said of those, up to 881 were civilians, including 176 children. Only 41 people who had died had been confirmed as 'high-value' terrorist targets. Getting at the truth is difficult because the tribal regions along the frontier are closed to journalists. US security officials continue to claim that almost all those killed are militants who use bases in Pakistan to launch attacks on Western forces across the border in Afghanistan.

Congress demands $3 billion for more tanks the Army says it doesn't need

It's not about defense. It's about government-funded jobs for their constituents.

If you need an example of why it is hard to cut the budget in Washington look no further than this Army depot in the shadow of the Sierra Nevada range. CNN was allowed rare access to what amounts to a parking lot for more than 2,000 M-1 Abrams tanks. Here, about an hour's drive north of Reno, Nevada, the tanks have been collecting dust in the hot California desert because of a tiff between the Army and Congress. The U.S. has more than enough combat tanks in the field to meet the nation's defense needs - so there's no sense in making repairs to these now, the Army's chief of staff Gen. Raymond T. Odierno told Congress earlier this year.

Breitbart blasted for taunting Ron Paul voters: "It ain't going to work"

Admittedly liberal Mediaite exposes the condescension, exaggeration, hypocrisy, and naivete of Brietbart writer Kurt Schlicter's two posts cajoling Ron Paul supporters and "libertarians".

In a two-part column over at Breitbart's Big Government, Kurt Schlichter practically begs libertarians to "support our Constitution" and vote for Mitt Romney this November in order to avoid not only the "destruction of this country" by way of a second Obama term, but also to avoid the destruction of libertarianism by way of the Libertarian Party becoming a pariah. The begging will not work, especially when it comes with the usual platitudinous overtures to America and the Constitution being at stake; and the suggestion that not supporting Romney is to selfishly disregard of the Constitution in the name of ideology. No matter how you dice the logic, a committed Republican accusing libertarians of not supporting the Constitution is nothing short of laughable. . . .

RNC: "Where the rules don't matter"

The RNC kicked off last night with a vote on the highly controversial rules committee report in which a small committee of GOP establishment favorites tweaked the rules to allow the national convention to override and block delegates from state and local conventions if they don't personally approve of those delegates. The move has been attacked nationwide as a top-down takeover of grass-roots and TEA party politics by the GOP elite at the national level. As such, delegations from several states were prepared to fight the measure when it came to a vote. They did, but the top-down GOP apparatus was already in full swing, and prepared . . . to ignore them totally. And it did.

The crusade against Ron Paul 2012 documented

Your editor was hoping someone would chronicle all of the cheating and tricks used to stifle Ron Paul to date, for they have been extensive. Here's a great essay towards that goal.

If you follow mainstream election coverage, you might think Mitt Romney has coasted to an honest, easy, well-deserved Republican nomination. Unfortunately for Republican voters, nothing could be further from the truth. The primary process has been an all-out slugfest and many of the delegates Romney has won may be the result of dirty tricks and even election fraud. The following narrative includes links to reports, first-hand testimonials, and video evidence highlighting actions taken by the GOP to ensure a Romney victory, at the expense of fracturing the party just prior to the general election. Party leaders at the county and state level have changed or violated party rules, cancelled caucuses, changed vote counts, thrown out entire counties of votes, counted public votes privately, called-in the SWAT team, and inexplicably replaced Paul delegates with Romney delegates to block Ron Paul from winning the nomination.

Why so shocked? ObamaCare ruling just continues 70-year American tradition

Don Watkins of the Ayn Rand Institute* explains why we may be saddened but should not be shocked by the ObamaCare ruling...

"There's this illusion that I think a lot of people have that we had this private free-market system and then President Obama came along and ruined it all with ObamaCare. That is not at all the truth. The fact is, we've had systematic intervention in the health care system for the last 70 years or so. . . . This is part of this larger growing trend of government intervention."

Christian talk radio host: "Why I cannot vote for Mitt Romney" | American Vision News

Steve Deace provides six reasons why "lesser of two evils" voting is wrong for Christians, and then explains why he cannot vote for Mitt Romney.

My own credibility is at stake here. I constantly criticze situational ethics and subjective moral standards. Does Romney now become better because of how bad Obama is? If one of my children lies repeatedly to their mother, do I not hold them accountable because another sibling stabbed her with a butcher knife? What kind of an example is that? If I endorse Romney, do I go on MSNBC and say as a Christian on national television my liar is better than your liar?
