Tax Lesson from John Kennedy

Perhaps Obama should take a tax lesson from John Kennedy, the father of the modern Democrat party: “A tax cut means higher family income and higher business profits and a balanced federal budget…. As the national income grows, the federal government will ultimately end up with more revenues. Prosperity is the real way to balance our budget. By lowering tax rates, by increasing jobs and income, we can expand tax revenues and finally bring our budget into balance.”

Hit the button

from E-Mail
DON’T KNOW IF THIS TRUE, BUT IT CERTAINLY IS WORTH READING ….AND MAYBE DOING
OK everyone, think about this when you are Christmas Shopping. Hit the button on your door when you get out and be safe.

I locked my car. As I walked away I heard my car door unlock. I went back and locked my car again three times .. Each time, as soon as I started to walk away, I would hear it unlock again!! Naturally alarmed, I looked around and there were two guys sitting in a car in the fire lane next to the store. They were obviously watching me intently, and there was no doubt they were somehow involved in this very weird situation. I quickly chucked the errand I was on, jumped in my car and sped away. I went straight to the police station, told them what had happened, and found out I was part of a new, and very successful, scheme being used to gain entry into cars. Two weeks later, my friend’s son had a similar happening….

While traveling, my friend’s son stopped at a roadside rest to use the bathroom. When he came out to his car less than 4-5 minutes later, someone had gotten into his car and stolen his cell phone, laptop computer, GPS navigator, briefcase……you name it. He called the police and since there were no signs of his car being broken into, the police told him he had been a victim of the latest robbery tactic — there is a device that robbers are using now to clone your security code when you lock your doors on your car using your key-chain locking device..

They sit a distance away and watch for their next victim. They know you are going inside of the store, restaurant, or bathroom and that they now have a few minutes to steal and run. The police officer said to manually lock your car door-by hitting the lock button inside the car — that way if there is someone sitting in a parking lot watching for their next victim, it will not be you.

When you hit the lock button on your car upon exiting, it does not send the security code, but if you walk away and use the door lock on your key chain, it sends the code through the airwaves where it can be instantly stolen. This is very real.

Be wisely aware of what you just read and please pass this note on. Look how many times we all lock our doors with our remote just to be sure we remembered to lock them — and bingo, someone has our code…and whatever was in our car.

Snopes Approved –Please share with everyone you know!!

‘We Won’, Part One

By Arnold Ahlert
63 House and 6 Senate seats later, “compromise” and “working together” have become the new memes for Democrat progressives and their media apparatchiks. That’s quite an amazing turnaround for those who, only a year ago, rammed a health care bill through Congress without the slightest concern for working together or compromise. It’s the very same bunch whose leader expressed his idea of compromise in two words: “I won.” Still, compromise sounds reasonable — until we get to the actual issues where progressives wish to “split the difference.” To wit:

Wanted: Someone to Trust

By Paul Johnson
What the midterm elections proved is that the American people do not trust Barack Obama to lead them. And trust, that magic five-letter word, is the most important element in the relationship between a nation and its government.

A strenuous Thanksgiving to one and all

By Marybeth Hicks
Rooted in our Judeo-Christian heritage, we American’s don’t just count our blessings by looking for the proverbial silver lining inside a passing cloud of events. We’re just as likely to “give thanks in all circumstances,” understanding that G0d can use every situation for our benefit and His glory.

Perhaps this is part of our national ethos that Theodore Roosevelt described in his classic speech, “The Strenuous Life.”

“I wish to preach not the doctrine of ignoble ease,” Roosevelt said, “but the doctrine of the strenuous life, the life of toil and effort, of labor and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes, not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph.”

Federal Money for Ground Zero Mosque?

The developers for the Ground Zero mosque, now called Park51, have apparently run out of money for their project. On top of that, they owe more than $200,000 in back taxes. But not to worry. They’re applying for a $5 million federal grant.

Obama’s paltry paper trail

By: Diana West
Wikipedia, the widely read, online, multiauthored encyclopedia, features an entry on the term “memory hole,” which originated with the prescient if not also clairvoyant George Orwell. The Wikipedia definition begins: “A memory hole is any mechanism for the alteration or disappearance of inconvenient or embarrassing documents, photographs, transcripts, or other records … particularly as part of an attempt to give the impression that something never happened.”

Wikipedia itself may have just offered a good example of how the mechanism works when unknown, unknowable site authorities “took down” a new entry on Lt. Col. Terrence “Terry” Lakin’s challenge to President Obama’s eligibility to hold office almost as soon it went up.

DREAM ACT SPENDING NIGHTMARE — S 3827

Once again we find ourselves fighting back against Big Government politicians who are trying to cram legislation that we don’t want down our throats. Even after the historic election almost three weeks ago, Harry Reid feels that it is appropriate for him to pursue legislation that is bad for America, but that pays back the special interests that got him re-elected. Please take some time to call the targeted Senators and remind them that the American people want restraint and responsibility restored to our government and that the DREAM Act is a spending nightmare that we cannot afford.

OUR ECONOMY CAN’T AFFORD MORE GM “SUCCESS” STORIES

Morning Bell

Celebrating the company’s Wednesday initial public offering,President Barack Obama last night called his government takeoverof General Motors a “success story.” “American taxpayers are nowpositioned to recover more than my administration invested inGM,” he said. Left unsaid is the fact that if the ObamaAdministration keeps selling their GM stock at the IPO price, theU.S. taxpayer will lose $10 billion on the deal, and that doesnot include the loans GM still owes, cash for clunkers, the ChevyVolt subsidies, or the millions of unseen costs the unprecedentedintervention has inflicted on our economy.

No matter what you hear from the President’s defenders, alwaysremember that it did not have to be this way. As late as April30, GM’s bondholders were willing to take a 58 percent equitystake in the company in exchange for canceling their $27 billionin unsecured GM bonds. But under their deal, the federalgovernment would have had no control over this new company, whilethe United Auto Workers union would have received a minorityshare of the company and the taxpayers would have been protectedas a secured creditor. An even better outcome would have been forthe federal government not to have supplied taxpayer cash at alland let all creditors take their lumps from an unbiasedbankruptcy judge. But President Obama just couldn’t keep hisgovernment out of it.
