Zo has a very good point. I've never seen a tax cut tax break, tax incentive etc etc that was implemented under a democrat that did not have red tape an hoops to jump through in order to qualify.

Do this or that and we'll give you some money, so long as you are spending in to what we want you to spend it on. Its all about controlling the great unwashed mass's wallet.

Now not to cheer lead the last crop of Republicans who just got the boot but.....

The so called Bush Tax Cuts were string free. Money that I could choose to spend as I saw fit. Not on some pet democratic project.

That's called a free market where the individual decides how to spend his or her money based on their own needs and judgment. AKA Freedom.

Seriously I'd have rather heard one of Bill's speeches too.

At least after that one I would be convinced that I had a new drinking and fishing buddy that was always on my side.

hmmmmm.

The partisan left is predictably upset.

Joe is a Democrat in my book. He differs with his former Party on two issues, security and fiscal discipline. But other than those two I always think of Joe as a "liberal". He has more support from the right, true Joe's honest, we like that.

If you think those two issues and the honesty don't matter much, just look at what happened to the last crop of Republicans who let fiscal discipline and honesty slip. Oh I forgot they are gone.

Joe we don't really care what letter is beside your name. D or I. And if you ever wanted an R well its not really you but we'd be glad to have you.

Regardless I think if Joe decides to run again, he'll win. Connecticut would be foolish to trade him for a freshman Senator over a silly label.

Elizabeth Wydra via Balkinization:

he question of whether and to what extent state and local gun regulations are constitutionally permissible is a question of the highest importance for both gun control advocates and gun rights supporters—and one that is about to be decided by the Supreme Court. In McDonald v. Chicago, the city of Chicago is defending its gun control measures against a challenge by petitioners who argue that the city’s handgun ban violates their right to keep and bear arms—a right, these petitioners argue, that is protected against state and local government infringement by the Constitution’s 14th Amendment. However one feels about guns, anyone who cares about fundamental rights protection should be wary of the argument the city makes in its brief.

In the city’s attempt to preserve its weapons ban, it proves too much, essentially urging the Supreme Court to find that protection of the Bill of Rights and other fundamental liberties against state infringement has no basis in constitutional text or history, and is instead achieved solely by judicial implication. To make matters worse, Chicago’s brief makes common cause with precedent that has been properly labeled by civil rights leaders as “among the most misdirected in the history of the Court”

My argument is more common sense. Sure gangs cause trouble, guns are a part of that trouble. These laws were intended to "stop gang violence" and keep guns, "out of the hands of criminals". Er uh hows that working out?

I was in a hospital one day...waiting (what else do you do there).... in a large metro area close to me. The news came on where some people had walked up to a lady at a stop light, drug her out of her car and took it. Oh and they shot her in the head for no reason. They had the car, why kill her?

My response was that criminals would not do this if about half the time as soon as they walked up to the car the driver blew their brains right back on their buddies. It might take a few times, but eventually they will learn...

The reaction of the folks there was WTF did this guy come from. Well I come from where you know better than to try and carjack someone cause out in Bumfuct you might just get shot.

Their reaction is quite understandable. They deal and see gun violence all the time and it is horrific. But they tend to blame the tool rather than the person wielding it and their hate of the tool has led them to disarm and make themselves easy targets.

True, being armed does not mean you won't become a victim. The chance is still high that a criminal will use the element of surprise.

But disarming yourself leaves you no chance at all, and the bad guys with the freedom to select their victim with no fear of immediate and lethal consequences to themselves.

East Bay Express:

Berkeley High School is considering a controversial proposal to eliminate science labs and the five science teachers who teach them to free up more resources to help struggling students.

The proposal to put the science-lab cuts on the table was approved recently by Berkeley High's School Governance Council, a body of teachers, parents, and students who oversee a plan to change the structure of the high school to address Berkeley's dismal racial achievement gap, where white students are doing far better than the state average while black and Latino students are doing worse.

Sincular-Mertens, who has taught science at BHS for 24 years, said the possible cuts will impact her black students as well. She says there are twelve African-American males in her AP classes and that her four environmental science classes are 17.5 percent African American and 13.9 percent Latino. "As teachers, we are greatly saddened at the thought of losing the opportunity to help all of our students master the skills they need to find satisfaction and success in their education," she told the board.

Hat Tip: La Shawn.

From Politico:

Democratic Rep. Parker Griffith announced Tuesday that he's switching parties – saying he can no longer align himself “with a party that continues to pursue legislation that is bad for our country, hurts our economy and drives us further and further into debt.”

“Unfortunately there are those in the Democratic Leadership that continue to push an agenda focused on massive new spending, tax increases, bailouts and a health care bill that is bad for our healthcare system,” Griffith said in a statement. “I have always considered myself to be an independent voice and I have tried to be that voice in Congress – but after watching this agenda firsthand I now believe that the differences in the two parties could not be more clear and that for me to be true to my core beliefs and values I must align myself with the Republican party and speak out clearly on these issues.

Confederate Yankee:

The language of Section 3403 seems rather explicit:

SUBSECTION.—It shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this subsection.

Ed Morrissey's take is that Congress lacks the Constitutional authority to bind the decisions future Congresses can make, which would including passing new laws, amending existing laws, or repealing laws. Reid is demanding not just power over the current Congress, but any future Congress as well.

Heh, I guess with that one vid Crowder made he decided to skip Dearborn?

The horse trading. As you can see from Michelle's post today. The last thing on politicians minds is what the people want.

A month ago, I compiled Part I of the Demcare bribe list as Harry Reid rushed before Thanksgiving to secure his first cloture vote on the government health care takeover. (Quick re-cap: $300 million Louisiana Purchase for Landrieu; $300 million California doctor payments; AARP goodies; abortion and union lobby concessions.)

Here’s Part II of the Cash for Cloture bribe list all in one handy place (hat tip again to my friend ChristinaKB for the apt phrase she first coined on November 21 for the Demcare wheeling and dealing).

A lefty friend of mine, dave bones, across the pond sent me to this lefty site about Copenhagen's Climate Change summit. I came across this interesting tidbit:

(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) Lisa Jackson appeared yesterday at the UN Climate Change Summit to assure the international community that the EPA will not let democracy get in the way of regulating the deadly toxic gas known as carbon dioxide at home. Her “endangerment” declaration means that CO2 will still be subject to intense regulation under the Clean Air Act, giving the White House executive power to limit CO2 emissions- even if Congress does not pass a definitive climate bill in 2010.

Politico:

Executives at National Public Radio recently asked the network’s top political correspondent, Mara Liasson, to reconsider her regular appearances on Fox News because of what they perceived as the network’s political bias, two sources familiar with the effort said.

According to a source, Liasson was summoned in early October by NPR’s executive editor for news, Dick Meyer, and the network’s supervising senior Washington editor, Ron Elving. The NPR executives said they had concerns that Fox’s programming had grown more partisan, and they asked Liasson to spend 30 days watching the network.

First they went after Juan, now Mara?

Leave the conservatives pet liberals alone!!!!!!##$#@!@!@@

Seriously, if there are no liberal pundits left, or they are always stuck on NPR how?

B. Will the conservatives watching know the leftys' point of view?

Jesusland has a new post up in the Swiss minaret ban.

The people who would club the Swiss over the head for setting limits are the same culture destroyers trying to erase every last vestige of christianity from the social sphere–not just from the “government”, as they claim– all in the name of “diversity” and “multiculturalism.” Do you see a pattern emerging here, my gentle readers?

Via Yahoo News:

For many people "rural" is synonymous with low incomes, limited economic opportunity, and poor schools. However, a recent study found that much of rural America is actually prosperous, particularly in the Midwest and Plains.

Researchers just had to look at things differently to see the prosperity.

The study - announced today and based on data from the year 2000 - analyzed unemployment rates, poverty rates, high school drop-out rates, and housing conditions to identify prospering communities. The result: One in five rural counties in the United States is prosperous, doing better than the nation as a whole on all these measures.

..."This finding supports our view that growth and prosperity are different dimensions, and much can be learned from studying rural prosperity," Isserman said.

We just do the same old same old things, conservatism is not just a campaign slogan here. Its a necessary requirement, its not as fast or as flashy as the coasts and big cities. But in the long run, it wins every time.

Bumfuct is heaven baby!

No one wants to believe that their government, or the people within it are intentionally trying to ruin their country. We, as Americans, inherently look for the good in people.

Rush has been saying from the get-go that Obama is intentionally destroying the economy and demonizing capitalism. Obama has been called a Socialist, a Marxist and a Communist. I believe the Democratic party does not represent the "nice Democrats next door" at all anymore. Good Democrats have allowed their party to be hijacked. The hijackers are the far (and in some cases not-so-far) left. They are hardcore Statists bent on an endgame utopia with Communism as the model.

Obama's administration openly lauds and employs Communists, Maoists, Socialists, etc. His cabinet is filled not with people experienced in true, "real world" economics like running a private sector business and creating jobs, but leftist elitists, academic eggheads, and Government carp:

Look below at this 1934 cartoon that the Chicago Tribune reran in July and tell me that you still think Obama is simply naive. I do not believe that. I believe he surrounds himself with hardcore Leftists, Statists, Progressives, Maoists, Marxists, Socialists and Communists because they share his views 100%. Show me your friends and I will show you your future (h/t Glenn Beck's mom).

I do not have one single friend who is a Marxist, Socialist, Communist, Maoist... How about you? How about your spiritual guidance? Does it come from a man whose pews you sat in for 20 years (1,000 Sundays) who denigrates your nation and praises Socialism and Marxism?

No more benefit of the doubt for Obama. We need to fight him and his agenda with every last breath in our bodies in order to stop what he and the American-hating-leftists are trying to do to our great country.

Darth --

Right now, Sarah Palin is on a highly publicized, nationwide book tour, attacking President Obama and his plan for health reform at every turn.

It's dangerous. Remember, this is the person who coined the term "Death Panels" -- and opened the flood gates for months of false attacks by special interests and partisan extremists.

LOL, Pussies.

Oh, and Obama's plan? I'm pretty sure that Obama has no plan. That's why he gave the task of writing the bills to those geniuses in congress. That and so when it sucks air, he can blame those same congressmen he tasked with writing it.

Pretty slick eh? If only Obi-One were as good at making people believe his BS as Bill was.

Via Politico:

One of the 20 finalists in health care video contest run by Barack Obama’s campaign arm features a mural of an America flag splattered with health care graffiti until it’s covered completely by black paint.

In the video – which is accompanied by the sound of a heart monitor pumping and then flat-lining – words such as “pre-existing conditions,” “homeless” and “death panel” ultimately obliterate the flag, which reappears on screen seconds later with the words “Health Will Bring Our Country Back to Life” on the blue field where the 50 stars usually are.

According to the Organizing for American Web site, the 20 finalists in the “Health Reform Video Challenge” were chosen by a panel of “qualified” Democratic National Committee “employee judges.”

A contestant whose video didn’t make the final-20 cut complains that a video “defacing the flag” won’t do much to help President Barack Obama or the Democrats sell health care reform.

“They should never pick that,” said the contestant, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “It makes the Democrats look really, really bad.”

Might as well find out.

The Working Families Party, an ACORN front group whose ballot line Newt Gingrich-endorsed radical leftist Dede Scozzafava has embraced on multiple occasions, is up to no good again.

The NYPost reports: The labor-backed Working Families Party has engaged in “an audacious scheme to violate the law” to help the party’s favored political candidates get elected, a sweeping new lawsuit charges.

...The way the scheme works, according the suit, is that the WFP gets involved in local races, backing its favored candidates, who in turn hire DFS for vital campaign services, such as phone banking, polling and get-out-the-vote efforts.

But under the plan, the WFP-endorsed candidates pay only “a nominal sum, well below fair market value,” for those services — giving those candidates a major, unfair advantage over their opponents, whose spending is limited by law.
