Hizzoner the Mayah Is An Idiot

Racist Mayor Dwight Jones is living proof that intelligence and deductive reasoning are not pre-requisites for elected office. It's one thing to support an issue, but to join a public demonstration against legislation intended to reinforce voter eligibility in the Commonwealth and tell everyone witihin earshot it's a Republican trick to keep blacks from voting for Democrats is just stupid beyond description and very, very racist.

Let me make several things very clear, Mr Jones; I don't care what color you are. I do not care what you do or who your mama was. I do care about who votes in the Commonwealth and I want the people who cast votes to be legal residents of the Commonwealth and eligible to cast a vote. Verification of residency is step one in the process, and the best way to verify residency is with a driver's license or state-issued photo ID. Its not racist to demand proof of your eligibility to vote. Its not racist to insure the voter rolls are up-to-date and the people whose names are on those rolls are eligible. I have to show my ID every time I vote. They check the name and address on the ID with the name and address on the voter roll.

What I want them to do is demand to see my Voter Registration Card, which I carry everywhere and have never been asked for.

Get a clue, Mr Jones. This legislation is not a white racist plot ginned up by The Man to keep the brutha down. Its simply good citizenship.

"Cause there's somethin happn'n here and you dont know what it is, do you, Mr Jones?"

Adbusters Tells Occupiers to Take to the Streets of Chicago a la 1968

Adbusters Tells Occupiers to Take to the Streets of Chicago a la 1968

This past weekend Occupy Wall Street protesters engaged in violent protest that led to the arrest of some 300 protesters, just as Adbusters now calls for protestors to descend upon Chicago this summer in the tradition of the 1968 riots.
The City of Oakland found itself griped in domestic terrorism as Occupy protesters took to the streets in violent rampages that included breaking into city hall, burning an American flag, and pelting police officers with rocks at the Henry Kaiser Convention Building as the protestors tried to take over the vacant center by tearing down perimeter fencing.

What does democracy look like...? Looks more like anarchy to me.

TYRRELL: Our Bill Clinton - Washington Times

How long have I been saying it? At least for 15 years, but in private I have been aware of it longer. Newt Gingrich is conservatism’s Bill Clinton, but without the charm. He has acquired wit, but he has all the charm of barbed wire.
Newt and Bill are, of course, 1960s-generation narcissists, and they share the same problems: waywardness and deviancy. Newt, like Bill, has a proclivity for girl-hopping. It is not as egregious as Bill‘s, but then Newt is not as drop-dead beautiful. His public record is already besmeared with tawdry divorces, and there are private encounters with the fair sex that doubtless will come out. If I have heard of some, you can be sure the Democrats have heard of more. Nancy Pelosi’s intimations are timely. Newt up against the Prophet Obama would be a painful thing to watch. He might be deft with one-liners, but it would be futile. There are independent and other uncommitted voters to be cultivated in 2012 - all would be unmoved by Newt’s juggling of conservative shibboleths.
Newt and Bill, as 1960s generation self-promoters, share the same duplicity, ostentatious braininess and a propensity for endless scrapes with propriety and the law. They are tireless hustlers. Newt is hustling my fellow conservatives in this election. The last time around, he successfully hustled conservatives in the House of Representatives and then the conservatives on the House impeachment committee. He blew the impeachment and, in fact, his role as speaker. He backed out in disgrace. He now says Republicans in the House were exhausted with his great projects. Nonsense. I knew many of them, and they were exhausted with his atrocious leadership. He is not a leader. He is a huckster. Mitt Romney has 72 congressional endorsements. Newt has 11. Possibly the 11 have yet to meet him.

I've been reading this man's work since before Billy-boy.

MILLER: Tax cheats on the federal rolls - Washington Times

MILLER: Tax cheats on the federal rolls - Washington Times

The tax man is required to send Congress an annual report on the number of serious delinquents working in each government agency. Figures released this week show 98,291 current civilian employees have a severe tax lien against them. When retirees and military personnel are included, the debt figure goes up to an astounding $3.4 billion. Without some kind of accountability, the number will grow larger.
The ironies abound. The Office of Government Ethics has one of the highest delinquency rates at 6.5 percent. You might think the U.S. Tax Court would pay its taxes, but its staff owes Uncle Sam $62,508. The Government Accountability Office has 65 employees not being held accountable. The Board of Governors for the Federal Reserves has 91 staffers who have reserved $1,265,152 in their own pockets.
The National Labor Relations Board doesn’t seem to mind the 47 on staff who are laboring only for themselves. The Office of Personnel Management isn’t doing a very good job managing its personnel, who owe the IRS $1,917,149. The Securities and Exchange Commission may be policing Wall Street, but it’s turning a blind eye to $1,146,843 in back taxes

He sure sounds like a liberal elite when he denigrates wealth creation, all the while taking his Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae checks to the bank. When he uses Cayman Island and Swiss bank references to bolster his creds, he sounds a little jealous of the wealth Romney has accumulated over the years. Accumulated legally, I should add.

Shut up about the money Noot. Romney earned it the way you're supposed to. He worked for it.

Press Release, Aexandria VA January 23, 2012/12:45PM:

“No one denies that the consequences of November 19, 2005 were tragic, least of all SSgt Frank Wuterich. But the fact of the matter is that he has now been totally exonerated of the homicide charges brought against him by the government and the media. For six years, he’s had his name dragged through the mud. Today, we hope, is the beginning of his redemption. He has always publicly taken responsibility for the lawful actions of his squad that day, as portrayed in his interview with CBS 60 Minutes. Today’s agreement is completely consistent with everything he has always said. Which is that the decisions he made that day led to an outcome that was tragic and regrettable and he takes responsibility for them, but they were not criminal.”

Progressives Push Debunked Romney "Shoe Shine" Story

Progressives Push Debunked Romney "Shoe Shine" Story

If you want to see a perfect example of how the left-wing media plans to smear and destroy Mitt Romney should he win the GOP nomination, no better example can be found than the hoax over a photo that lefties every where are trying to sell as evidence of Romney’s “privileged” life. Lefties say the photo in question shows Romney “getting his shoes shined” before getting on a private jet during his campaign travel. That is not what the photo shows, of course, but let’s not let the truth get in the way of a good left-wing mudslinging, OK?

"Divine Intervention"

From the "If Its Not There We'll Invent It" File

A white Democrat in South Carolina is bemoaning the fact that none of the Republicans vying for the nomination bothered to acknowledge Dr King's birthday by attending an event and even resorted to terrorist tactics by scheduling their debate on the night of Dr King's birthday. Surely there must white hoods and burning crosses somewhere. (I know, I know, don't call me Shirley)

Meanwhile, most thinking, reasonable, logical citizens will see this for what it is: the left injecting race into a political process in an attempt to once again brand conservatives as racists. However, had any of the candidates actually appeared at a Dr King event, the white Democrat would have the decried the exploitation of Dr Kings memory for political gain by pandering racist Republicans.

Open Letter to Joan Peterson of Common Gunsense

Edit: To those coming from Weer'ds, A Girl and Her Gun, and Jennifer's- Welcome! Pull up a chair and look around. ConcreteBob and I love visitors. And leave a comment! Say Hi!


January 8th was the anniversary of the Tuscon shooting. Anti-2nd Amendment gun control activists used that date to hold candle light vigils for the victims of "gun violence." Of course, we all know that there are victims of MANY forms of violence.

We decided, guided by Weer'd Beard, of Weer'd World, to hold our own vigils, showing candles AND firearms or other weapons of defense, in honor of victims of ALL violence. We did this to honor the victims and to show that one does NOT have to be defenseless.

Joan, of Common Gunsense, is appalled by the reaction of the 2nd Amendment supporters to the vigil. She states,

"Here is a message to the pro gun extremists who have mocked the candlelight vigils. Have you no shame?"

Her list of comments taken from pro-2nd Amendment blogs and comments are supposed to demonstrate our horribleness.

Go. Take a look. I'll wait.

There....that wasn't so bad. The first two mention self defense and honor victims. The third is short and sweet:

"Sorry Joan, we show respect for the victims, you dance in their blood."

A little harsh. But what do you say about activists that want to disarm people, make them defenseless, and then use their victimhood as propaganda to push a political agenda? Remember, the vigils were ONLY about the victims of GUN VIOLENCE. All other violence need not apply. Self defense was ignored, even derided as "more shootings."

Then she posted the supposed mean commenters. They said mean things about HER and the activists. But mainly her. I mean....Joan's blog IS about political activism. Its right there on her side bar: "My blog is intended to change public opinion about the gun debate"

What else are we to make of her intended vigils except as a political stunt? She even intoned the name of Representative Giffords, injured in Tuscon. Rep. Giffords is a gun owner and apparent 2nd Amendment supporter.

Jennifer, of In Jennifer's Head, wrote a wonderful blog post. In it, she asks Joan, "Where's the Candle for Lydia?"

Joan's hypocritical reply on her blog (emphasis mine):

"So Jennifer thinks no one would light a candle for Lydia? Who says? Why didn't Jennifer come to one of our vigils and light a candle for Lydia? Because she would rather attack the vigils which were in honor and memory of shooting victims. So, Jennifer-sorry you missed our vigils. We would welcome you.

Except for one small detail. Who says? JOAN SAID. No one DID light a candle for Lydia at the victim vigils by your activists because they were only concerned about the politically correct victims of "gun violence. See.....Lydia was not attacked by someone with a gun. And Lydia, not having a gun, was horrible injured. Of course, gun control activists feel that not having a gun is for the better.

Furthermore, Joan continually states that we gun-rights people attacked the victims and have threatened her. Her posts show no such thing. But let's take a look at the evidence.

First there's my post: Light A Candle to Hold Back the Darkness
My comment with pic:

Tonight, many gun control groups are holding candle lit vigils to honor the victims of "gun violence."
As those of us in the reality based world know, one needs more than a candle for protection. And we refuse to become defenseless.

And so, we gun bloggers are also lighting candles...in honor of those damaged by violence, ANY VIOLENCE. "Gun violence" is a political canard. Guns protect innocent lives.

Carry yours.

Then there is Weer'd's: Do More Than Just Light a Candle

Other than links and pics, there are NO political statements attacking ANYONE on this page.

Let's examine the links, as described by Weer'd, to avoid confusion:

1) Jay (aka MArooned) He posted other pics and links, no attacks. I love the candle.
2) North Not even harsh comments....
3) Erin who links to other respectful blogs, most especially Miguel (also linked on Weer'd's post.) at GunFreeZone, who liit a candle for more victims ignored by the gun control activists. Brigid, too, deserves special mention for wonderful writing. Still....no attacks.
4) Jeffersonian is short and sweet in his post. There's no room for attacks.
5) McThag has three posts up. The only harsh words are for the Navy's choice in attack aircraft in unrelated posts.
6) Bryan Strawser should be thanked by Joan for spreading news about her blog and her vigils.
7) Jack Nope. Very respectful.
8) Knitebane Same.
9) Shy Wolf Patriotic and respectful. Even applauds the vigils against "gun violence."
10) Lokidude delivers. Yet, unsurprisingly, also respectfully.
11) Then there is A Girl and Her Gun. Joan's anti-thesis. A victim that demands a gun. Joan points out comments by her that are supposed to be "harsh." Apparently she's the wrong kind of victim. And yet....at the blog....everything is STILL respectful and Gabby Gifford's neighbor, HER NEIGHBOR, comments positively about buying a firearm.
12) ThotPD Irreverent! Oh no!....oh, wait. He's making fun of Weer'd. Never mind.
13) MaddMedic Emphatic. But polite.


Wow. All that posting. Not a single attack against victims or gun control activists. Not even a harsh word. Or snark. Which, if you are familiar with gun bloggers is a freaking miracle.

Let's see.....Maybe its hidden in Weer'd comments...

Nope. Just more links to more memorials. And links to the CSGV on Facebook to show the reactions of the gun control fanatics. THE OVERWHELMING CONSISTENT THREAD IS THE TOTAL LACK OF ANY MENTION OF YOU. You appear to be upset because we ignored you, mostly, and joined "your" vigil, and did it our way.

Joan Peterson...without proof, without evidence, you slander good people. And yet you call us shameless? You have the outright, shameless, unmitigated, GALL to insult people that actually JOINED you in honoring victims of violence BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DO IT IN YOUR APPROVED MANNER?

Apparently, the vigils were all about..... you.

Lt Col Allen West USA Retired Weighs In On Marines

From one who is more than qualified to comment on behavior while downrange, Lt Col Allen West, in an email to The Weekly Standard says:


'Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell'
Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.), a former Army lieutenant colonel, sends THE WEEKLY STANDARD an email commenting on the Marines' video, and has given us permission to publish it.


“I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah.


“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?


“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.


“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”

Dana Loesch at Big Journalism has the cajones to say what needs to be said.

This is Why Some Republicans are Stupid

This is Why Some Republicans are Stupid

Democrats attack conservatives who make a lot of money and oppose higher taxes. Republicans usually support people who have made a lot of money because people with money create jobs, and spend, invest, and save their money. All of these actions lead to higher employment, capitalization of new businesses, and the availability of risk capital for innovative companies that have a good chance of success. If an investor loses his money in a venture, it’s his money, not mine. If I decide to invest with him, it’s my money, not yours.
Democrats believe that their politicians are better equipped to spend our money. But since it’s not their money, they are less discriminating. The use of $500 million to fund Solyndra is a perfect example of why governments should not be involved in business capitalization. There is no risk aversion when using someone else’s money.
Newt Gingrich and other Republicans are attacking Mitt Romney by describing him as “more ruthless than Wall Street. A film bankrolled by Gingrich supporters shows a laughing Romney saying “make a profit. That’s what it’s all about.” Yes, that’s what it is all about. A company that does not make a profit will go out of business. It’s simple math. What business stays in business when it doesn’t make a profit? Only government-subsidized businesses

Poll: Americans, 2-1, Fear Obama Reelection

One thing is certain, if Dear Leader is re-elected, we'll know how to act and what to do to prepare for what will come. The same things we've been doing for the last three years: stockpiling ammo, food and water and preparing for an insurrection. What scares me the most is the mandate Dear Leader's re-election will establish within the extremist anarchist/occupy assclown cabal. They'll see it as their last best hope to destroy America and establish a totalitarian society and will take the initiative to create as much chaos and disorder as possible to effect that goal. Anyone who votes to re-elect this poser may as well put a gun to their head and pull the trigger. It will save time later.

Occupier Alleges Leaders of Occupy Wall Street Housing Group Abused Rape Victims

Occupier Alleges Leaders of Occupy Wall Street Housing Group Abused Rape Victims

Even though the #Occupy movement has been kicked out of parks across the nation, apparently the sexual assaults continue. An online petition and other discussions reveal accusations of people within the #Occupy movement allegedly ignoring and abusing rape victims and contains shocking details about how assailants continue to be let back into Occupy, a trend that Brandon Darby and I discovered during an interview at Zuccotti Park in early November.

The online petition posted at iPetitions.com was posted by Strong Women Rule, the group formed by Nan Terrie. Big Government recently revealed that Ma. Terrie has been attacked by other Occupy leaders as a “disruptor” for trying to expose assault, theft and alleged financial malfeasance at Occupy Wall Street. Apparently, Ms. Terrie is disrupting the Occupy illusion again.

Here’s the text of the online petition: (more…)

Basically what this means is, the victims were raped TWICE!!!
Bottom line in my world would be castration, and I don't mean chemical.

Perry: "I would send troops back into Iraq"

Rick Perry said he would send U.S. troops back to Iraq at a Republican presidential debate in New Hampshire on Saturday.
"The idea that we allow the Iranians to come back into Iraq and take over that country, with all of the treasures, both in blood and money, that we have spent in Iraq- because this president wants to kowtow to his liberal leftist base, and move out those men and women. He could have renegotiated that time frame. I think it is a huge error for us,"

Then you're a bigger idiot than Dear Leader, and that's a high bar for idiocy.

With all eyes on the Republicans and their presidential-nomination donnybrook, behind the scenes President Obama is still busy with the “fundamental transformation” of the US that he promised during the 2008 campaign.
While analysts have been chewing over Rick Santorum’s surprise near-victory over front-runner Mitt Romney in the Iowa caucuses last week, the real action has been going on under the media radar in Washington, where:
* A rogue Senate, under the feckless majority leader, Harry Reid, has not passed a budget resolution since April 29, 2009 — nearly a thousand days. Since then, the government has been funded under a series of continuing resolutions and other gimmicks. The Senate adamantly blocked consideration of Paul Ryan’s “Path to Prosperity” budget, which passed the Republican-controlled House back in April 2011.

I, Too, Am The Gun Lobby

To all of those “reporters” and pundits at ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CNN, the New York Times and all the other Times, the Boston Globe, the Spokane Spokesman-Review, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Arizona Republic, all of the Tribunes, Stars, and Ledgers;

Let me make something perfectly clear: The NRA is not the Gun Lobby. Neither is the NSSF, nor the GOA, nor even The Firearms Coalition, nor the hundreds of grassroots and activist organizations or the thousands of local gun clubs. I am the Gun Lobby. Whenever you talk about the Gun Lobby, you are talking about me. All those groups and entities work for me, but they are not me, and they do not necessarily speak for me. My power does not derive from my personal wealth nor financial support from the industry that serves me. My power comes from the fact that I am one of tens of millions who understand that individuals have the right and the obligation to protect themselves from criminal assault, and that no one — not the government, not the media nor anyone else, has the right to decide what, when, where, or how I responsibly exercise that right and obligation. We – each of us – are the Gun Lobby, and we’re not going away, We’re not backing down, and we’re not giving in – not one little bit.

It infuriates me when I hear “reporting” and editorializing about “the powerful Gun Lobby” and “the intransigent Gun Lobby” and sometimes even “the evil Gun Lobby,” as if we were a handful of rich fat cats in safari shirts sitting in a mahogany-lined room full of leather, stuffed animals, and cigar smoke plotting how to increase our profits by increasing crime. We are the people! We are the 80 to 90 million people in this country who own guns and the tens of millions more who do not own guns, but fully support our right to do so.

Unlike the anti-rights groups like the Violence Policy Center and the Brady Campaign, we do not get the bulk of our money from wealthy do-gooder endowments like the Joyce Foundation or wealthy individuals like Mike Bloomberg. I am the Gun Lobby and I get my money by working for it in factories, on construction sites, in small businesses, stores, shops, farms and ranches. I pull the money I use to support or oppose candidates and to pay my professional advocates, not from tax dollars or union dues, but from my own back pocket.

Unlike my opponents, I do not derive my power from friends in the media or from minions in state and federal offices. I derive my power from the volunteers I can muster and the votes I can deliver. I want little from politicians — mostly to be left in peace. If a politician disturbs my peace, I will do my best to fire them and hire someone else to do the job. That’s not bullying, or threatening, or undue influence, that’s the American ideal as expressed in the First Amendment — Americans expressing their will and support for the Constitution with our individual votes.

Unlike the Bradys and Bloombergs who advocate for regulation, limits, bans, and government controls over law-abiding citizens, I do not advocate government making any decision for any responsible individual. I do not advocate the arming of teachers or the arming of students, or the arming of anyone. Instead I oppose their being forcibly disarmed, and defend the right of all responsible people to make their own choices. I do not assume that thoughtful, responsible people will become heartless killers or mindless idiots because a gun is present. I reject the notion that “the trigger pulls the finger,” as some of my opponents have suggested. I trust responsible adult citizens to be responsible adults, and that trust has been proven consistently everywhere it has been given. I reject the idea that a sign on a wall or a policy in an employee handbook can, will, or ever has stopped someone intent on murder and mayhem from carrying out their criminal acts. To the contrary, I believe that such acts can and have been prevented and curtailed by responsible citizens who had the means and were willing to place themselves in harm’s way for the sake of others. I believe that it is wrong to disarm such people based on their job or where they happen to be.

I am the Gun Lobby. I am deeply rooted in the ideals and principles of this great nation. I am a true American and a true grass roots movement, not like the externally funded, AstroTurf organizations that oppose me. Certainly there are honorable and committed individuals who truly believe that guns are the problem, that guns cause crime and that giving the State a monopoly on violence is the key to establishing a peaceful and safe society. I know that those people are wrong.

I am many, diverse, and have varying levels of knowledge and understanding, but I am unified by a single individual truth: that no one has the right to make me helpless in the face of violence to myself, my family, my community, or my country.

Obama’s War on U.S. Energy

Obama’s War on U.S. Energy

From the Keystone Pipeline to offshore drilling, the Bambi administration is crushing the ability of ordinary Americans to do extraordinary things. If we don't evict the present occupier of the White House and turn the energy crisis in our favor, we will become a third-world nation with third-world issues.

The citizens as subjects and leftist politicians as proletariat.

If you still need a reason to defeat Obama in 2012 consider his administration’s intense effort to deprive America of the energy it needs to function and compete in the world.
If a foreign nation had launched an attack on America to destroy its coal-fired plants, to shut down its coal mines, and to thwart its ability to drill for oil and natural gas, we would be at war with it.
Obama is at war with America. Between the waste of billions squandered on “Green” energy and the attacks on all aspects of the energy industries in America, the one reason to defeat Obama is your ability to turn on the lights, turn on your computer, and ensure that American business and industry has the energy necessary to exist and compete.
Just try to imagine what your life would be without adequate, reliable electricity.
As a Wall Street Journal editorial recently warned, “Last week the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission convened a conference on the wave of Environmental Protection Agency rules that are designed to force dozens of coal-fired power plants to shut down…despite warnings from expert after expert, including some of its own, the FERC Commissioners refuse to do anything about this looming threat to electric reliability.”
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) warned that “Environmental regulations are shown to be the number one risk to reliability over the next one to five years.” (emphasis added)

In Smith and Wesson We Trust (and It Looks Like Santa Does Too)

Some good news.

As a matter of fact, judging from sales receipts and FBI reports regarding sales for December 2011, it seems that Santa delivered at least 1.5 million firearms for Christmas.
Not only is this news in light of the fact that it required the FBI to do a record setting number of background checks in a month – 1.5 million in December alone – but also because it continues to highlight what has been a growing trend among people of all walks of life: namely, folks are less and less trustful of government’s ability to keep them safe.

Holder Math: How the Obama DOJ & the Media Tricked South Carolina And Protected Voter Fraud

Holder Math: How the Obama DOJ & the Media Tricked South Carolina And Protected Voter Fraud

This entire scam – there’s no better word for it – is based an interesting but totally irrelevant math quirk; when numbers are small, the difference between them is larger.
An Easy Math Trick
To understand the math behind this, let’s start simply and look at two very small numbers – 1 and 2.
If you had one dollar and I had two dollars, I have one dollar more than you. However, if I wanted to try to impress someone, just telling them that I was a dollar wealthier probably wouldn’t work. In an effort to sound more impressive, I could find a way to pump myself up by claiming that I had twice as much money as you. It’s true, of course – 2 is twice as much as 1 — but just knowing that I had twice as much money as someone else doesn’t really paint the whole picture.
If I want to get extra-fancy, I could also say “I have 100% more money than that person.” This is saying the same (misleading) thing as “I have twice as much” in a slightly different way. There’s a simple equation for determining this percentage difference for any two numbers.
(X / Y) – 1

So in this case, ( 2 / 1 ) – 1 = 1.

To get the ‘percent’ we just move the decimal point to the right two times and we get 100%.

Here’s the quirky part — as numbers get bigger, this difference decreases. Now imagine that you have $100 and I have $101. I still only have one dollar more than you but because the numbers are larger, I can’t pull my ‘twice as much money’ claim trick. In fact, I only have 1% more money than you.

(101 / 100 ) – 1 = .01.

Move the decimal and you’ll see that 101 is 1% more than 100. And of course, saying ‘I have 1% more money‘ doesn’t sound that impressive.

In both cases, I only had one more dollar but the lower the numbers, the more impressive I can make the difference sound.

Now, in both of these examples, the simpler way to express our financial differences is to say “I have a dollar more than you” or by spelling it all out, such as “I have two dollars and you have one dollar.” The whole bit about ‘twice as much money’ or ‘100% more’ is just a way to obfuscate the truth that I only have one more dollar and it works only when the numbers are low.

Thus ends the math lesson.

This intentional obfuscation is exactly what the Federal Government and the Holder Justice Department did to the people of South Carolina. They used this same mathematical quirk to hide the truth about the actual statistics and the media dutifully repeated the ‘Holder Math’. Unfortunately, the state of South Carolina was also bamboozeled by this simple math game and failed to expose what the Obama DOJ was up to.

Now that you’re armed with the knowledge that the difference between low numbers is exaggerated, let’s set the record straight.

Occupy Movement Comes to Elementary Schools

Occupy Movement Comes to Elementary Schools

in Virginia. Lisa Molinaro--Remember that name.
Instead of allowing our children to become independent critical thinkers, they teach them to hate the wealth makers. Instead of teaching them how to be good responsible citizens, they bring in a bunch of marxists to instill class hatred.

Keeping politics out of government run schools requires constant vigilance. In recent years, political ideology has been brazenly imposed on students across the country. Woodbrook Elementary School in Charlottesville, Virginia, provides the latest example of a government school imposing left wing ideology, this time with the Marxist rhetoric of the Occupy movement.
Woodbrook Elementary, (principal Lisa Molinaro), allowed leftist activists into the school to train third graders in writing songs which were performed at an assembly organized by an outside group – Kid Pan Alley – in October of this year. The tune the 3rd graders “wrote” and performed could have come from the soundtrack at Zuccotti park, minus the drug overdoses and rapes.

Some people have it all,
but they don’t think that they have enough
They want more money
A faster ride
They’re not content
Never satisfied
Yes- they are the 1 percent
I used to be one of the 1 percent
I worked all the time
Never saw my family
Couldn’t make life rhyme
Then the bubble burst
It really, really hurt
I lost my money
Lost my pride
Lost my home
Now I’m part of the 99
I used to be sad now I’m satisfied
Cause I really have enough
Though I lost my yacht and plane
Didn’t need that extra stuff
Could have been much worse
You don’t need to be first
Cause I’ve got my friends
Here by my side
Don’t need it all
I’m happy to be part of the 99.

and we can start right here in VA-08 by giving Jim Moron his walking papers. Lt Col Patrick Murray is once again setting his sights on Moron's seat.

Jim has consistently put his own financial well-being in front of his constitutional responsibilities; the recent stunning revelations of his using privileged information from private briefings from the Secretary of the Treasury and Chairman of the Federal Reserve to fatten his own bank account is but another example of this career politician's "me-first" attitude. It is no wonder that the net wealth of many Members of Congress has exploded while the rest of us suffer under a struggling economy!
