...not to say that the Bush tax cuts weren't flawed. They were phased in over time — limiting their effectiveness — and they came with an expiration date.
As a result, taxes will automatically go up unless Congress votes to extend the Bush tax rates.
That alone is the reason for the fierce political debates today over which parts to extend and which to let expire.
Reagan's tax cuts, in contrast, were permanent, so the only way Congress could increase taxes on anyone was to actually vote for a tax hike.

Here is a short version. Three individuals with connection to certain documents were found dead in their cars in DC, one found burned alive in her car in TN.
Ashley Turnton was a special assistant to Nancy Pelosi in 2007. Turnton was burned to death in her car, which was parked in the garage of her house.
Lieutenant Quarles Harris (Lieutenant in this case is not a title, but an unusual first name) had stolen passport records, linked to group of three State department contractors who were caught hacking into Obama’s passport records. Harris was found dead in his car parked in front of his church in DC.
Secret Service agent assigned to Obama’s detail, Rafael Prieto, officially committed suicide because his affair became known, however he was already separated from his wife, so why would he commit suicide? Prieto was found dead in his car a few days ago.
Katherine Smith, DMV worker in TN, was indicted in issuing fraudulent drivers licenses. 5 Middle Eastern men were found with such bogus drivers licenses issued by Smith right after 9/11. One of them also was connected to “Magic Plumbing”, New Jersey plumbing company. This employee had a pass from the World Trade center from a day before 9/11. As you recall, many burned to death in 9/11 due to the fact that someone switched off the sprinkler system. A day before Katherine Smith was supposed to testify in her trial, whe was found dead in her car, burned to death. The car had only a small bump, which would not cause the engine to explode or the car to catch on fire.
In 2009 I visited US attorneys office in Nashville, TN. I was with Fran MacLeran, wife of Presidential candidate and co-plaintiff in my MS case, Thomas MacLeran and 2 other people.
We showed them the threats, where I was threatened to be burned alive. I submitted a report from Investigator Sankey, which showed Obama using multiple forged IDs, fraudulent Social Security numbers, multiple addresses according to the national databases. One of these addresses was in NJ. It showed a lien from “Magic Plumbing”. This lien could be nothing, could be something. At any rate, forged IDs were a matter of concern.
Assistant US Attorney told me that he lost friend in 9/11 and was eager to investigate.
He called me a couple of weeks later and told me that his superior forbid him to investigate and ordered to close the case. I have the names of both US attorneys and phone numbers and dates written down. I signed in before the meeting. US attorneys office should have a log showing me there at the meeting.

READ MOREThe monster Homeland Security Agency just graduated its first class of FEMA Corps, kids aged 18-24, recruited from the President’s Americorps volunteers, that will become a full time, paid standing army. Fears of FEMA camps abound and in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, people seeking shelter and food were herded into one that resembled a concentration camp of the Nazi regime and told not to use various means of communication to contact the media or outside community. They went from hurricane victims to prisoners of the government.
Child trafficking and porn are the fastest growing crimes in America. With billions being laundered in black money it makes solid economic sense for the IRS to focus on the child porn industry. Eric Holder’s Department of Justice has demonstrated they have no interest in prosecuting pedophiles, not even their own. The IRS should be given substantial resources to compensate for DOJ’s disgraceful failure. American tax-payers, not to mention America’s children, will reap huge rewards.READ MORE
Perhaps Senator Grassley will raise his powerful voice in support.
Back when the establishment turned Romney into its choice, I said that they should have their shot, but that they should pay a political price for their failure if it blows up in their face. Ann Coulter isn't willing to pay that price. Instead she's gone back to her old routine. And Coulter's routine is a simple one.Friday Afternoon Roundup: Rumors of Ceasefires
1. Take a shot at an easy liberal target
2. Say something shocking about the left or minorities
3. Push liberal Republican apologetics
Items 1 and 2 establish Coulter's street cred for item 3 which is the real agenda. Using that same 1, 2 and 3 routine, Coulter has been able to sell anything, including RomneyCare as a conservative principle.
Now after taking a shot at Maxine Waters, a hard target if there ever was one, Coulter goes straight to selling Romney as more conservative than Reagan. Or more libertarian which is at least an easier sell.
But first Coulter throws out one of her specialties. Misleading facts.
The only Republican to defeat a sitting president in the last century was Ronald Reagan in 1980, when he beat Jimmy Carter, the second-worst president in U.S. history
Now this looks impressive. It makes it seem as if many Republicans tried to unseat Democratic presidents and failed.
One problem. Clinton was the only two-term Democratic president since FDR and his presidency unto death. The modern Republican Party, since its transformation into a conservative populist party, had only tried to unseat two Democratic presidents. It got one and utterly blew its attempt to unseat the other by running Bob Dole.
Now Obama was not an easy target, but neither is there some sort of track record of it being impossible for a Republican candidate to unseat a Democrat in the White House. But it helps to be a populist candidate, which Reagan was and Romney wasn't.
Reagan picked a pro-choice, anti-supply side Republican as his running mate. He lavishly praised FDR in his acceptance speech at the national convention, leading The New York Times to title an editorial about him “Franklin Delano Reagan.”
Meanwhile, Romney promised to institute major reforms to Medicare, repeal Obamacare and impose a 20 percent across-the-board tax cut. He said he’d issue a 50-state waiver to Obamacare on his first day in office. He chose a pro-life, fiscal conservative as his running mate and never praised FDR.
The only way Coulter can make Romney seem ultra-conservative is to tear down Reagan. But attempting to judge Reagan by 2012 standards doesn't work.
But let's look at why Reagan had to run the way he did and Romney had to run the way he did.
Reagan could run more liberal than he was, because he had established credibility on conservative ideas. No one doubted his bona fides after all these years. He could make compromises while people would still believe that he had the right agenda at heart.
Romney had to run more conservative than he was because he had no such credibility. And this is a major problem for politicians in general. It's how we ended up with our own version of John Kerry.
A Republican candidate may need to be able to run to the center in a national election while having right of center policies. Just the way that Obama runs a little to the right while holding a far left wing agenda. But candidates with no ideological cred cannot do this. People assume that they're selling out, rather than utilizing a strategy, and they're generally right.
The good news for masochists is that you can look forward to Ann Coulter doing this same full-court press for Chris Christie in a year or two as Mr. Conservative.
"The idea that Romney failed to present a clear contrast with Obama or was too “nice” is also nonsense."Now Coulter almost has a point here. That is if you don't count foreign policy, where Romney spent an entire debate agreeing with Obama, or social policy which he avoided talking about.
But on business, Romney established a clear line of difference with Obama. It was so effective that many Democratic businessmen became the Romney Democrats. Unfortunately Romney failed to extend this difference into any other area and all his Romney Democrats were mostly small and big businessmen. The Reagan Democrats either stayed home or voted for Obama.
The problem wasn't that Romney was too nice. The problem was that Romney did not know anything outside his narrow sphere of business. He failed to challenge Obama on Benghazi because he really did not understand the issues. That was why he also favored a more aggressive policy in Syria. Or why he couldn't set himself apart from Obama on foreign policy.
The same went for any issue outside business and the economy. And that seems palatable enough because the economy was the big issue. But that just highlights the differences between Reagan and Romney.
Reagan could extend conservative philosophy across a range of areas. Romney could only champion free enterprise and it wasn't enough.
Conservatives love Reagan less because of policy than because of the way he was able to advocate conservative ideas as mainstream ones. Romney had trouble doing this.
To the extent Republicans have a problem with their candidates, it’s not that they’re not conservative enough. Where are today’s Nelson Rockefellers, Arlen Specters or George H.W. Bushes? Happily, they have gone the way of leprosy.
Having vanquished liberal Republicans, the party’s problem now runs more along the lines of moron showoffs, trying to impress tea partiers
Really? Liberal Republicans no longer exist?
Has Jeb Bush gone the way of leprosy? Has Lindsey Graham? Have Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, John McCain all vanished?
In CoulterWorld, the Republican Party's elected officials are now all conservatives and the only problem is that obnoxious Tea Party morons insist on asking them to be conservatives, even though they totally are. Like Mitt Romney and Chris Christie.

Bye Bye Miss American Pie The day the music died … Twelve days long have passed since the re-election of Barack Obama. Since then I have started to write down my thoughts about the election at least four separate times. This makes five. I didn’t finish the others and instead of finishing this one…
...the Obama administration’s partnership with the Muslim Brotherhood, while in the short term a nuisance to everyone, including Israel represents in the long run a death sentence for Egypt. Soon America will have to feed Egypt; prop it up and provide snacks to the very same people who will storm its embassy walls.
THE LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.The Last Man Standing
Eight years of Obama is bad, no doubt. But try sixty-nine years of Communism on for size. That's what generations of Russians had to live through.

Ask people from countries where criticism of Islam can mean a jail sentence and homeschooling is illegal, whether they've given up hope.READ MORE
There are countless tales of courage over the last century of men and women who did not stop fighting, who did not stop teaching their children so that they would not stop resisting. And those stories have not ended. They are taking place today in Europe. They are taking place in South America. And those people would envy the conditions under which we fight, where we can protest without being shot or sent to prison, where we can at least have a shot at winning elections if we try hard enough. Where we are, compared to 100 percent of the rest of the world, still free.
An inappropriate relationship with top ranking military officers is one thing.

We are talking Cold War era stuff here.
At first, I didn't think there was much to all of this.
Now, I'm not so sure. In fact, I'm turning my thinking around on this one.
There are literally dozens of URL references behind this article - URLs are in bold/blue
I can't tell you how many emails I have received over the last year and a half from men who have exited the United States Military as either a Captain or Major because they simply could not bear to be a part of the repulsive, honorless, amoral culture. They couldn't advance because at a certain point you literally have to sell your soul and become a purely political animal in order to climb the ladder.Haven't heard about the "night of the long knives" before?
And are you really surprised? Every single flag officer in the United States Military today is, by definition, an oath-breaking traitor. Barack Obama is not eligible to be POTUS and is almost certainly not a U.S. citizen. And not ONE WORD. Not one word from the flag officer corps. Why? Because they are politicians at heart, and they will never do anything to jeopardize their O-7, O-8, O-9 or O-10 pension packages.
Am I surprised that Petraeus and Allen and the rest are pathetic, pervy fornicators with the common sense of a pile of toenail clippings? Am I surprised that Petraeus was sending dozens and dozens of emails per day to his girlfriend and that their pillowtalk included national secuity secrets? Am I surprised that Petraues and Allen have spent their careers walking around with a "BLACKMAIL ME" sign taped to their backs? Nope. These people are imbeciles and psychopaths who implemented and oversaw rules of engagement that have intentionally gotten our boys killed as a literal sacrifice of total submission to islam. . .
And now, the Obama putsch regime is purging them and anyone else they deem to be a threat. It won't surprise me if Petraeus is indeed court martialed and stripped of his pension, because that is what the rest of the flag officer corps fears more than death. Make an example of Petraeus, and maybe Allen, and that will whip the rest of them into line.
This process of a totalitarian oligarchy constantly purging its own ranks in fits of paranoia and demands for total personal loyalty is as old as the hills. Lenin and Stalin eventually murdered almost every person that entered their inner-circles. Same with Mao. Same with Saddam Hussein. Same with the three Kims in North Korea. Beyond the Night of the Long Knives, Hitler was also having his own people killed continuously.
Just as the Night of the Long Knives in '34 was just the beginning, so too is this situation in the former American republic just the beginning.
First, a history lesson:Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. Hitler then moved quickly to marginalize and then dispense entirely with the German Legislature, the Reichstag, and to effectively eliminate all political parties other than the National Socialist (Nazi) Party.
In this hour I was responsible for the fate of the German people, and thereby I became the supreme judge of the German people. I gave the order to shoot the ringleaders in this treason, and I further gave the order to cauterise down to the raw flesh the ulcers of this poisoning of the wells in our domestic life. Let the nation know that its existence which depends on its internal order and security cannot be threatened with impunity by anyone! And let it be known for all time to come that if anyone raises his hand to strike the State, then certain death is his lot.A variant of this is what is happening right now. The Obama Putsch regime is now consolidating power and is purging the military of any flag officers that either have inside information that could blow the lid off the regime and/or men that they fear could organize a junta or counter-coup. And, as with Rohm and the SA, the modern American flag officer corps, as I have said many, many times, is a hive of sickening moral degenerates. Almost ALL flag officers today are adulterous fornicators who can be blackmailed exactly like Petraeus.

Limit your caffeine as much as possible so that you’ll be able to reach the deeper levels of sleep. Caffeine has a half-life of 6 hours That means that if you have 200 mg of coffee at noon, approximately 100 mg will still be in your system at 6PM and 50 mg at midnight. Regardless of whether you think your body is immune to caffeine or not, it does negatively impact your sleep. Since sleep is one of the primary tools that the body uses to build and recharge the immune system, this can’t be over-emphasized. If you need lots of caffeine to function, it’s a warning sign of a sleep deficit. If you are able to go to sleep immediately after consuming caffeine, it’s most often an indication of exhaustion and/or a blood sugar issue, and the negative effect on deep sleep remains.Preparing for Hand Sanitizer Resistant Viruses

I’m not normally given to hyperbole, but it’s all over for the Republican party as we know it and hence all over for the United States of America as we know it. The Reagan period now looks like a blip. Only once has a Republican presidential candidate won the popular vote in 24 years.Finita La Commedia
We’ve lost when we were the incumbent party and the economy was perceived to be doing badly; we’ve lost when we were the challenger party when the economy was doing even worse.
In future, our elections will be like those in Britain or New York. We will be presented with a choice between a statist liberal and an out-there uber-liberal. And with the uber-liberal enjoying the full backing of the media and Hollywood, it’ll by no means be an easy win for the ordinary Mike Bloomberg or David Cameron-style liberal, who will be portrayed as a heartless plutocrat if he happens to come from money, or as a hopeless rube if he happens to come from nowhere.
Liberalism multiplies and reinforces its own mistakes. As liberalism’s failures pile up, they will inevitably inspire more liberalism as solutions. . .
Economic gravity will prevail, as it always does, and it will eventually yield another conservative president. Indeed, the nature of the two-party system all but guarantees it. But this won’t do much good in and of itself. The growth of the state is a one-way ratchet, and its size and intrusion are almost never retrenched. Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1788 that “the natural progress of things is for liberty to yield, and government to gain ground.” “A government bureau,” added Ronald Reagan, “is the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth.”READ MORE
Now that the Obama administration has succeeded in winning a second term, they are cleaning house. The two figures most linked to the disaster in Benghazi, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Petraeus, are gone. The figure most linked with Fast and Furious, Eric Holder, will be gone. The figure most linked to the administration’s economic failures, Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner, will be gone. Only Obama remains. He ran out the clock on his scandals, and now throws anyone associated with them overboard.CIA Director Petraeus Resigns Over Affair

...because the public has never truly seen the changes he’s enacted put into practice, Obama has an exceedingly tenuous mandate. But he doesn’t care. All Obama wants to do is to squeak by, after which he plans to depend on shifting demographics to cement his sweeping transformation in place. The question is, have Americans really changed as much as Obama thinks, or will the actual arrival of his long-delayed first-term agenda in his second term set off a populist movement that brings his plans to a halt?READ MORE
The Final Indictment of Barack ObamaMitt Romney is a gentleman who gives millions to charity. A man of faith, he served as a pastor at his church. Mitt loves this country. Being a nice guy is a great thing in life, but a disadvantage in politics. So, I’m going to say what Mitt is too nice to say.
As we approach Election Day 2012, let me lay out the final "Indictment of Barack Obama."It’s too late to play nice, to not tell the raw, unvarnished truth. If we don’t tell the truth (and fast), we are going to lose America, capitalism, and our children’s future. The truth is Obama is destroying the American dream.President Obama may be a good husband and father. He may think he is doing right. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Nice or not, Obama believes government has the answer to every problem. He believes in punishment of the successful (i.e. job creators). He believes in income redistribution. He believes in massive spending and debt. He believes in rules, regulations, and mandates – that government always knows best.The truth is those beliefs don’t work. You don’t need to look far to prove these theories are disastrous. Europe has been following Obama’s plan - big government, big unions, big spending, big taxes, big entitlements, big pensions, "free" healthcare, too many government employees, and unlimited spending on green energy and high speed rail. The result? Economic disaster. Greece, Italy, and Spain are enduring a tragedy few can comprehend. France is next.America, under Obama, is following the same path. On Tuesday, before it’s too late, Obama needs to be indicted by the American people.Here’s the case. Judge for yourselves:*As of Election Day, unemployment is 7.9%, the highest for any incumbent since FDR.*More importantly, the REAL unemployment rate is in the range of 15%…Higher than in most years of the Great Depression.*Unemployment in the black community is 14.3%.*Unemployment and under-employment for college graduates is a staggering 53%.*The Labor Force participation rate for men is the lowest since 1948.*Under Obama food stamp growth is 75% greater than job growth, with a record 46 million Americans now on food stamps.*An unfathomable 11 million Americans are on disability, a number larger than the population of a majority of states.*One sixth of all personal income in the USA comes in the form of a check from the government.*The housing collapse is deeper than the Great Depression.*The net worth of the average American is down 40%.*New business startups are at the lowest level in 30 years.*The U.S. credit rating has been downgraded for first time in history.The truth is we are experiencing unimaginable economic wreckage, crisis and collapse from coast to coast.None of this is a coincidence.With 60,000 new rules, regulations, and mandates Obama has turned the entire U.S. Economy into a hostile work environment, closely following Cloward and Piven’s plan to overwhelm the system with debt and entitlements, to purposely collapse the U.S. economy and destroy capitalism.Obama demonizes entrepreneurs and risk-takers. His EPA is putting the coal industry out of business. Thousands of new IRS agents have been hired to harass & intimidate business owners. Massive tax increases are looming including 23 new Obamacare taxes.Obama has added an unconscionable $6 trillion to the national debt. Federal debt and unfunded liabilities are now an inconceivable $115 trillion. Add to that the cities, counties and states that are broke and insolvent (the debt in Obama’s Cook County, Illinois is now an incredible $108 billion)…It’s clear only one thing is working in America...Obama's plan.Mitt is too nice to say it, but I will. Good intentions, or not, Obama is ruining our country, declaring war on business owners, hooking Americans on government handouts, reducing the quality of our children’s future. This is a man making a mockery of the Constitution and everything our Founding Fathers believed in.Obama didn’t “save” the auto industry. He stole $25 billion from you and me to protect union pensions, bribing them to give him millions in campaign contributions. Then Obama used the power of government to gain revenge on his opponents- allowing private sector autoworkers to lose their pensions and closing profitable auto dealerships owned by Republican contributors -- immoral, if not criminal.It’s time to stop playing nice before we have no economy or country left to defend…before unions strangle the life out of the private sector…before taxpayers are sucked dry to pay for a food stamp and unemployment benefits economy…before “free” health care adds trillions in debt to our children’s burden…before Obama's extreme views on energy leave us dependent on nations that hate America and support terrorism...before Obama uses Executive Orders to render Congress and the Constitution meaningless…Before every terrorist attack is given a politically correct name…before more victims are blamed when Islamic radicals slaughter them over a cartoon, book, or film…before every child is taught to remove God from their daily lives…before every Bible is permanently removed from our military bases and hospitals…before all religious celebrations are permanently removed from our White House.Mitt Romney is our last stand, our line in the sand. For capitalism. For small business. For our Judeo-Christian values. For our children and grandchildren’s future. For the survival of the American dream. And yes, for our guns and Bibles.Forgive, but never forget when you walk into that voting booth.Remember that Osama bin Laden is dead…and so is a United States border agent who died in the Fast and Furious scandal…and so is our Ambassador and 3 brave young men abandoned and left to die at our Libyan embassy…and so is the U.S. economy.Remember that as broke as America is, Obama is giving $450 million of your taxpayer money to the extremist, American-hating, Muslim Brotherhood leaders of Egypt.Remember Obama denigrates those that cling to old fashioned ideas- God, country, faith, family, capitalism, and our American exceptionalism.Remember Obama presided over a Democratic convention that booed God. Three times. Remember those images before you walk into that voting booth.Now, let’s go out and reclaim our country.
Those of you who are familiar with medical coverage in other countries are probably aware of some of these statistics.
