They know that once a tax is passed by the federal government it is rarely repealed. The carbon tax, higher marginal income tax rates, a VAT, and higher inheritance taxes are the “answer” to the deficit in their minds. Plus these taxes facilitate their plans to equalize the masses by destroying what is left of the middle class.

Energy prices will rise. This is thanks to the person elected by millions of brain-numbed robots who marched to the polls in lockstep singing “first black president.”

See, this is why I suspect the BP spill was allowed to happen. How convenient this spill occurs just at the beginning of summer when the heat goes up and now this. Just the same way millions of people were dying everyday because of a lack of insurance and now we hear nothing. Even though Obie care won’t kick in till 2014 somehow all those folks are okay now. It’s all bullshit and frankly really, REALLY pissing me off. I’ve always wondered what it was like to be one of the original Patriots back in the 1700’s. I’ve always dreamed about what would I do to help preserve freedom. Willing, able and ready. On my feet before I am on my knees. Always ! Death is a liberation if I am destined to live like a slave.
God bless us all.

I see how this works, Cap & Tax now, pardon for half of the illegal Aliens now (visa violators) then full amnesty and fast track path to citizenship for all in the lamest duck session after the November election. Hoping to salvage 2012 for Obama.

Obama's exact words in 2008 were, "under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket". Converting from fossil fuel power stations, he said, "will cost money; they will pass that money on to consumers."

Democrat slush fund.

Republicans who don't think it is worth their money to pay to run a conservative have no idea what that will cost them.

The LiberalCommunists who are currently controlling the U.S. are, like Hitler...both.

Hopefully. Either way believers win.

If they're not stopped, get ready, the Lord is at the door and the Day of the Lord may be about to commence.

I have lost all faith in whiners.

There are good candidates who need your support today. Help them, or the folks who want socialism win. This issue is another good reason to fire the Democrats.

People who whine but do nothing constructive to fix the problem end up letting the enemy win.

Somebody might just pull a 1954 Puerto Rican 4 gun
salute on them. That is what they are pushing onto
us (US) citizens. Show Time!

Was there a “stop” missing in your sentiment? ;-)

This is Cloward–Piven strategy to the max - as soon as they got into office it was clear - Dim WH & congressional control - thanks to our rinos - they’ve got “healthcare”, wall street, the auto industry, soon “big oil”, cap & tax, card check, amnesty, union pension bail-outs, etc., etc.

Even with huge 2010 gains this will be tough to dismantle - once in place gubmint programs NEVER go away. ;-(

No, I don't but I think he’s got the right idea. Thanks for sharing that.

I think Jesus is coming very soon (we know the season but not the day nor the hour) and we want to be ready to go with Him because what happens next on earth will not be believed even while it’s happening.
