Go get ‘em, and take napalm with you!
bump & a ping
I just got a great mailing on Phyllis Schafly. Basically, she gave one sentence to Clinton, Obama, and McCain, and the rest of it is about the importance of electing real conservative senators and house members.
In the extremely unhappy situation in which we find ourelves, that’s about the best we can do: donate and work for good candidates in our states or other states; get out and vote for them in the fall, whatever we decide to do on the presidential line; and do our best to ensure that whichever of the Three Traitor Rats gets elected, they won’t have an easy time with their projects for wrecking our country.
INNOCENT!
I’d vote for her in a flash. I wish she was running for President! You go, girl!
Washington D.C. is a pretty rough town... we need to send a Congressman who knows when to talk and knows when to kick butt.
Lets face it, this primary is all about the November 2008 election and we need to pick a candidate that can go toe-to-toe with the Charleston Democrat Congressional Candidate Linda Ketner and beat her and go to Washington D.C. and square off with a Congress controlled by the Democrats and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
This is a real ‘cat-fight’ and just maybe our district needs a Republican ‘Warhorse’ instead of a Republican ‘Workhorse’ to represent our regional South Carolina interest in Washington D.C. Issues like I-73, Oil Prices and Domestic energy Policy, Social Security, Health Care, getting rid of ‘No Child Left behind’, Fair Taxes, Veterans, Family Values, etc.

The difference that we really need is less Washington, DC and a return of power to the state capitals.
Hang on. We’re talking about it with the Big Guy himself.
Katherine Jenerette on Income Tax
From its founding, our country operated without a personal income tax for 137 years.
My bottom line on income tax may sound simplistic, but I believe that a tax on a person’s income violates the basic principals of our original Constitution and the Declaration of Independence with regard to the equality of all men.
The basic principal of a free man is that he cannot be owned by another man or no man can own another man’s labor. To say that the government can violate this principal is a contradiction of our uniquely American beliefs of freedom.
Once the government can sweep aside the boundary between its hand and your wallet; which is your labor, they have violated the principal of a free man.
Secondly is the principal of a limited government is violated by creating institutions that both increase the size of the federal government; which in turn, allows those institutions to control and limit the opportunities of a free people.
While I support the concept of a fair tax, I believe it is an idea with its’ “heart in the right place; especially with the overriding objective of the repeal of the 16th Amendment but I believe it is a work in progress.
My legislative agenda is that there should be no income tax and the 16th Amendment should be repealed.
First, I would move to repeal the 16th Amendment. Concurrently; upon ratification of the appeal, institute a National Sales Tax of 23% which will be reduced each year by 3%. By law, this tax will be reduced 3% every two years, which will force the government to shrink 3% every two years. Within 18 years, there will be no national Sales Tax and the government will have to have shrunk by 23%.
I do not agree with the concepts of pre-bates. It is another federal government control mechanism that allows the federal government to maintain leverage over an individual which would be a close cousin to the system we have right now. This would build another level of dependency on the federal government, which would extend far beyond those persons dependent on the federal government right now. However, some legislative plan will have to be enacted for those persons below a certain income level that will be most impacted by the initial 23% tax and indexed until the moratorium is reached.
No matter how the legislation is worded or worked out the message to the Federal Government is this:
Get away from our income. The only exception that I can conceive of myself, would be during a war declared by Congress in accordance with the Constitution of the United States, Article 1, Section 8.
