…Ron Paul.
His isolationist foreign policy scares me, but he’ll need Congress’ action to do most of what he wants…and he won’t get it. I can’t bring myself to vote for Mitt “Flip-Flop” Romney, Newt “The MasterDebator” Gingrich, or Rick “Jesus Freak” Santorum.

First off, I’d like to say hello to the Department of Homeland Security official that may be reading this. *waves* Yes I am not happy with our government right now, but no I don’t want to commit any acts of violence against our government, or government officials, or support any such person who may want to (or does) commit acts of violence. Now that we have that disclaimer out of the way, on to the post.
Has anyone noticed how in depth the United States Government has become when peering into our personal thoughts and feelings? It is like McCarthyism all over again, but this time instead of looking for Communists, they’re looking for Conservatives. It started with listing the Tea Party as a potential terrorist organization, and now its come down to spying on its citizens? Thanks George Bush for starting this fiasco.
I am unabashedly conservative. I believe in very limited government, limited taxes, more individual rights, and a strong military. If that makes me a domestic terrorist, or a threat to the United Socialist States of America that the Obama administration is pushing for, then so be it. However, I vow never to initiate any acts of violence towards this great nation unless attacked first by our current government.
*waves* By Department of Homeland Security representative that reads this, I’m sure you know where to find me.

I weep for this country and will fight to keep Obama out of the White House for a 2nd term! -

Interesting. And here’s the truth about Warren Buffett’s tax hike pleas.
From article:
Warren Buffet’s secretary, Debbie Bosanek, served as a stage prop for President Obama’s State of the Union speech. She was the President’s chief display of the alleged unfairness of our tax system – a little person paying a higher tax rate than her billionaire boss…
…The IRS publishes detailed tax tables by income level. The latest results are for 2009. They show that taxpayers earning an adjusted gross income between $100,000 and $200,000 pay an average rate of twelve percent. This is below Buffet’s rate; so she must earn more than that. Taxpayers earning adjusted gross incomes of $200,000 to $500,000, pay an average tax rate of nineteen percent. Therefore Buffet must pay Debbie Bosanke a salary above two hundred thousand.
We must wait for further details to learn how much more than $200,000 she earns. The tax tables tell us about average ranges. For all we know she earns closer to a half million each year, but that is pure speculation…
On another interesting note, Ms. Bosanke just purchased a second home. Such an unfair tax burden, no?

So Romney, yes he is wealthier than Obama and Biden combined, gave a larger percentage of his income to charity. However, you know as well as I do, Obama and Biden really pay for next to nothing as President and Vice President. Joe Biden gave a whole $369…I gave close to $2,000 last year.

This is Bush’s fault right?

Wow, doesn’t Adam Corolla hit the nail on the head with this rant! Occutards, take a serious look at yourself and see if this applies to you, which I bet it does.

Now if this story doesn’t piss you off, nothing will. This lady has 15 kids, 3 baby’s daddies, and the tax payers have been paying her rent, paying for her food, and giving her toys and clothes. Quote of the story, “Somebody’s gonna have to pay for all my kids.”
Now this is not unique, well maybe the 15 kids part. I have encountered hundreds of people just like her in my community though my line of work. She is not alone in thinking someone else should be taking care of her kids instead of herself. I almost wish we could forcefully tie her tubes…but then again, its only mostly her fault….read my previous blogs.

Just a little political humor from The Onion…but so, so true.
