 “Amazon Tax” Laws Signal Business Unfriendliness And Will Worsen Short-Term Budget Problems. “Contrary to the claims of supporters, Amazon taxes do not provide easy revenue. In fact, the nation’s first few Amazon taxes have not produced any revenue at all, and there is some evidence of lost revenue. For instance, Rhode Island has seen no additional sales tax revenue from its Amazon tax, and because Amazon reacted by discontinuing its affiliate program, Rhode Islanders are earning less income and paying less income tax. Amazon taxes also do not “level the playing field” between brick-and-mortar and online businesses; the laws actually mandate disparate burdens on online businesses. Litigation over the constitutionality of Amazon taxes is ongoing, with scholars on the left and right disputing their wisdom and legality.” Unsurprisingly, I agree. Earlier thoughts on this subject here.

What’s on your minds today? ( Excerpts- use the link, dammit! )

Here’s a great Weekly Standard piece on the collapse of the Church of Anthropogenic Global Warming.  It says the release of the emails showing the fraud, deception, destruction of data, and invention of numbers designed to fit predetermined curves at East Anglia’s “climatology center” is on par with “The Pentagon Papers” that changed the dialogue on Vietnam.

There is no putting the genie back in this bottle, and no matter how much the MSM tries to pretend this story isn’t happening, the public is indeed finding out about it.

Rahm Emanuel Attacked Congressman Massa Naked in the Showers.

The meme is building that Democrats are corrupt Chicago thugs who use blackmail, extortion, bribery, threats, and, apparently, naked shouting matches, to get what they want, regardless of what’s good for their constituents…with no regard for what the public wants.

This is much, much worse than the 1994 narrative of Democrats being merely “out of touch” with the public.  It’s worse than the scandals the Republicans had in 2006.

We’ll go more in depth on this later...

"What I see happening in the short term is a fracture into an Obama-uber-Alles group and a Save-Our-Positions group. Neither of which will win. The Republicans are riding a “Down With Washington” tsunami similar to 1994. Except that this time, there will be no Tim McVeigh to sabotage reform, nor a Clinton saying, “the era of Big Government is over” to rescue the Democrats."

a good read:

Update: Regarding David Paterson and Eric Massa, we are not excusing the conduct of either of them. However, as we wrote before about David Paterson, these are Obama thug drive-by shootings. Paterson and Eric Massa both fit into the pattern of Obama using sex related stories to destroy opponents (such as Blair Hull).

As we have seen repeatedly, for something to catch on with the public, there needs to be a visual people can see that makes the story stick.

Rahm Emanuel’s attack on Congressman Eric Massa, done naked in the Congressional showers, is the sort of thing that illustrates, well, nakedly the true nature of what the Liberal Socialist Democrat party has become.  Their naked disregard for the will of the people.  Their naked disrespect for anyone who does not share their socialist bent.  Their naked inherent destructiveness.

Sometimes I don’t even have to read the threads but am merely pushed over the edge by the title.

This morning, we heard the weirdest, distant noise:  a rumbling and a grumbling.  We couldn’t figure it out...We kept wondering and wondering what it was, and then someone left us a comment that “Dan Rather said “Obama is so incompetent he couldn’t even sell watermelons”".  ...Would Rather REALLY be stupid enough to fall right into the Race Industry’s hands and actually use a watermelon analogy?

UPDATE:  It’s true.  Dan Rather really did say this on MSNBC.

Here’s a good post on Healthcare by Dan Perrin. He urges everyone to Jay Cost’s daily vote count, and to pound it. Great analysis only seen in the New Media.

http://www.redstate.com/dan_perrin/2010/03/08/political-instability-and-the-coming-defeat-of-obamacare/

Jay Cost has the real house vote count. (Rep. Massa’s claims that he is the swing vote, notwithstanding.)

If you want to help, call the Members of Congress on Jay’s list, and follow it daily. Organize demonstrations in front of their offices. Put them on YouTube. Call them. Email them. Contribute money to their opponents. Seek out these Members of Congress in their districts. Button-hole them. Do not let up until the House votes. (Sorry Jay, your list is better than Minority Whip Cantor’s memo.)

I’ve cribbed the video, but after watching it, do go read Ed Morrissey’s whole piece. They lie and lie. And they may get away with it, too.

VIDEO AT LINK

The reason they may get away with it, even with boldface lying like this, is because they are assisting in strenghtening the resistance of the world, that there may be no breach by which to “open up space for God’s life to pass through.”

Am I actually suggesting that at this point The Pelosi and The President are -knowingly or unknowingly, actively or passively, take your pick- serving a culture of death and darkness? Yeah. I guess I am. I’ve never seen more comfortable liars than these, and their faithful enablers in the press.

To: backhoe

can we now say “Obama is a Communist”?

Obama acts like a loyal communist
Obama talks like a loyal communist
Obama walks the walk of a loyal communist

therefore

Obama is a communist.
