Bah, Humbug! Ebenezer Obama Wants to Tax Charitable Giving by Wealthy
President Obama’s multi-trillion-dollar budget contains a huge lightning rod for bipartisan opposition. He wants to limit tax deductions for charitable contributions by individuals earning over $200,000 or couples earning over $250,000, and he’s counting on this to rake in $179.8 billion in new tax...

Obama’s Budget a Mathematical Impossibility, Will Bankrupt Nation
My wife and I have the dubious honor of having been among the millions of Americans who have recently experienced bankruptcy. It wasn’t due to bad luck, and not to the economy. And we certainly couldn’t blame President Bush for it, even though it was all the rage to blame him for all sorts of...

What’s the Bigger Story: Obama’s Speech, or Criticism of It?
So what was the news story last night? What was worthy of discussion and critique? Was it President Obama’s speech to Congress about the glories of bloated government and increased dependency in its beneficence? Or was it the response by Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal’s response – or, more to the...

Democrats Fudge Meanings of Words to Smear Porkulus Opposition
It occurred to me today that a good deal of the confusion and uproar over the Porkulus bill is due to President Obama and the other liberals employing a standard tactic of propagandists – hiding the truth by ignoring or arbitrarily changing the meaning of words. Consider, for example, the...

Man Shoots TV Over Digital Conversion Confusion
After having my brain melted by exploring President Obama’s vow to reduce the federal deficit after he more than doubled it (see http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight9992/597432 ), I needed a good laugh. This story about a revolution other than the one I am fomenting comes from...

Is This an Obama Recession?
Liberals, including the Presidebt himself, love to try and blame the recession and the meltdown of the stock market on President Bush’s tax and economy policies. The record of the stock market since Obama took the lead in the Democrat political campaign indicates otherwise. Here’s a link to a chart...

Are all Conservatives Mind-Numbed Dittoheads?
Over on his Why Can’t I Sue the Whole Country? blog at http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Comments.aspx/596553, Kooka made this remarkable if clichéd claim the other day: “So all the Blogit conservatives can go on and keep spreading the propaganda they are handed from their higher ups like good old Rush...

Obama Signs Porkulus, Then Says We Must Live Within Our Means
I’ve heard politicians make some remarkably nervy statements, statements that astound and awe because of the combination of raw, daredevil courage and utter disconnect from reality that they exhibit. For example, here in Toledo, some politician (I wish I knew who) claimed today during a discussion...
