Ideas from the Tea Party

Many compare the Tea Party and the OWS crowd.

You can't. There is no comparison.

I'll start taking the OWS crowd seriously.....heck, I'll start taking the GOP and Democrats seriously when they start putting out ideas like this.

TEA PARTY BUDGET


Unfortunately, the GOP is AGAIN betraying the conservative movement.


Republicans throw their Pledge to America under the Omnibus

".....the House passed Harry Reid’s first minibus appropriations bill (Agriculture, Commerce-Justice-Science, Transportation-HUD), which contains record levels of spending for Food Stamps, WIC, and international food aid. It also contains $2.3 billion for disaster spending, which is excluded from the budget caps. "

I am ashamed to say that there does not seem to be one, single, solitary Virginian name on the roster of those that kept their word.

When will these fools learn? If they continue to vote this way, why should conservatives support them? At all? How are they different from the Democrats?

Hypocritical Oath

Paul Ryan on Medicare and the GOP: No Hypocrisy Here
There are big differences between Ryan's free market plan and Obamacare's command and control rationing system.

Liberal New York Times columnist Paul Krugman wrote on Friday that Republicans are a bunch of hypocrites because they criticized the $500 billion in Medicare cuts (it's actually $800 billion over 10 years) in the Democrats' health care legislation, but Republican Paul Ryan of Wisconsin has proposed a long-term budget "Roadmap" that would, as Krugman contends, "dismantle the whole [Medicare] program."

(Apparently Krugman didn't have enough room in his column to point out that Democrats might be hypocrites for denouncing Medicare cuts under Clinton, then proposing Medicare cuts in Obamacare, then denouncing Paul Ryan's reform as "abolishing" Medicare--while simultaneously pushing to pass Obamacare's Medicare cuts through reconciliation. But I digress.)

More after the jump.

Obama wants the power for "preventive detention"

For years, The New York Times headlined the slightest implication that President Bush was becoming a dictator, using the most tortured logic outside of Truther websites. Now that President Obama is thinking about imprisoning persons for "preventive measures", they bury the story on page A-18.

Obama continuously critiques the Bush Administration on Guantanamo, "enhanced interrogation", and detention without trials for terrorist prisoners. So now we learn this.....

Hmmmmm, can we think of anyone that might be described as a possible terrorist that the government can't charge.....

Hope n change. Obama is SO worried about American values that we lost since 9/11.

President Obama told human rights advocates at the White House on Wednesday that he was mulling the need for a “preventive detention” system that would establish a legal basis for the United States to incarcerate terrorism suspects who are deemed a threat to national security but cannot be tried, two participants in the private session said.

They said Mr. Obama told them he was thinking about “the long game” — how to establish a legal system that would endure for future presidents. He raised the issue of preventive detention himself, but made clear that he had not made a decision on it.

“He was almost ruminating over the need for statutory change to the laws so that we can deal with individuals who we can’t charge and detain,” one participant said.

The other participant said Mr. Obama did not seem to be thinking about preventive detention for terrorism suspects now held at Guantánamo Bay, but rather for those captured in the future, in settings other than a legitimate battlefield like Afghanistan. “The issue is,” the participant said, “What are the options left open to a future president?”
