The left likes to try comparing the Tea Party movement with the Nazis whenever they can. It’s pathetic at best. Whenever there was a left wing protest, how many people would be arrested for their stupidity?

How many were arrested at the Tea Party in Searchlight, Nevada? Zero. Not even a citation was issued that day.

The left continues their desperate cries of racism, Kristalnacht, or whatever anti-Conservative thing they can think up. All false, all meant to take away from the debate. All lies.

The real anti-Americans
By Pat Buchanan

As Democrats, after a Sunday rally on the Capitol grounds, marched to the House hand-in-hand to vote for health-care reform, tea partiers reportedly shouted the “N-word” at John Lewis and another black congressman. A third was allegedly spat upon. And Barney Frank was called a nasty name.

Tea partiers deny it all. And neither audio nor video of this alleged incident has been produced, though TV cameras and voice recorders were everywhere on the Hill.

Other Democrats say their offices were vandalized and they’ve been threatened. A few received, and eagerly played for cable TV, obscene phone calls they got.

If true, this is crude and inexcusable behavior. And any threat should be investigated. But Democrats are also exploiting these real, imaginary or hoked-up slurs to portray themselves as political martyrs and to smear opponents as racists and bigots.

This is the politics of desperation.

In one case, a billion dollars. Way to go morons.

Private corporations, some fairly large ones, are already letting the American people know how bad this Obamacare is going to be.

The cost will be millions, to billions depending on the size of the company. That comes from their bottom line, which in turn will ensure that they raise the cost to use/buy their products to the consumers. Yeah, how’s that not taxing anyone under $250,000 working out for you?

Still like that hopeandchange bullshit?
America will suffer like a third world hell hole if this bill is not repealed.

Obamacare Starts Squeezing the Private Sector
By William Tucker

The news on healthcare reform this week is that right off the bat, the major corporations are discovering they will be losing stunning amounts to taxes as a result of Obamacare.

Caterpillar, the first to speak out, reported it will take a one-time write-down of $100 million in order to account for the elimination of a federal tax refund it has been receiving for providing drug benefits to its retired employees. In the following days, AT&T, Verizon, 3M, Deer & Co., and AK Steel Holdings announced they would take similar write downs. AT&T’s new tax bill will come to over $1 billion. The news is a body blow to major companies hoping to recover profitability and add jobs.

Anytime I can beat up on anti-gun morons, I will. Or, I’ll just highlight someone else bagging on these morons. Here’s a good one from Nicki over at The Liberty Zone:

Brady histrionics meet reality

Despite what Sarah Brady, Paul Helmke and VPC’s Josh Sugarmann will have you believe, John Lott‘s theory of “More Guns, Less Crime” has been justified.  America now has record numbers of law-abiding, responsible citizens licensed to carry concealed weapons, and firearms deaths in America have fallen.

From its beginnings in the 1980s, the “right-to-carry” movement has succeeded in boosting the number of licensed concealed-gun carriers from fewer than 1 million to a record 6 million today, according to estimates from gun-rights groups that are supported by msnbc.com’s research. And while hotly debated, the effect of this dramatic increase is largely unknown.

Well, according to Gun Facts, the majority of American states are now “right to carry” states.  There’s been no blood running in the streets, and no massacres by law-abiding citizens exercising their rights.  Crime has not increased in those states, and in many cases, it has actually declined.  I’m always loath (unlike the Hemenway/Miller misanthropic manpigs at Harvard) to draw causation from correlation, but even a blind man can certainly understand that if crime has not increased, and even decreased in many “right to carry” states, that law-abiding gun owners are not the problem!
