Spread the Word

Posted by Roxanna M. on Wednesday, July 16, 2008 10:10:09 AM
 
I received this by e-mail this morning.  I'm spreading the word, and so should you.
 
Capital Gains Tax:
 
     McCain:  0% on home sales up to $500,000
     Obama:  28% on profit from all home sales
 
Dividend Tax:
 
     McCain:  15% (no change from current rate)
     Obama:  39.6%
 
Income Tax:
 
     McCain:  no changes
          single making 30K = $4,500 
          single making 50K = $12,500
          single making 75K = $18,750
          married making 60K = $9,000
          married making 75K = $18,750
          married making 125K = $31,250
 
     Obama:  big changes
          single making 30K = $8,400
          single making 50K = $14,000
          single making 75K = $23,250
          married making 60K = $16,800
          married makig 75K = $21,000
          married making 125K = $38,750
 
(Notice how the taxes hit the lowest bracket more than the highest)
 
Inheritance Tax:
 
     McCain:  0% (no change)
     Obama:  would restore the inheritance tax
 
New taxes being proposed by Obama:
 
     *  a tax on homes that are more than 2,400 square feet
     *  new gasoline taxes
     *  taxes on consumption of natural resources (heating, gas, water, electricity)
     *  taxes on retirement accounts
     *  taxes to pay for socialized medicine
 
Here's something to think about:  America already has socialized medicine.  It's being run by the insurance companies.  If you don't like socialized medicine when it's being run by for-profit companies, think how much you're going to like it when it's being run by the not-for-profit U.S. government. 

An Obama presidency would be the New Slavery.  We'd be doing all the work and paying for everything, all the while our lazy masters in D.C. would be doing nothing but sitting on their butts enjoying the fruits of our labor and wondering why we're underproducing.  At least under the Old Slavery, slaves got a house in which to live.  Under the lash of the New Slavery, not only would we have to pay for our own houses, we would have to pay a tax on that house if it is bigger than the massas think we deserve.

Spread the word.

I Was Right

Posted by Roxanna M. on Tuesday, July 15, 2008 9:31:12 AM
 
I have long been of the opinion that global warming/climate change/climate crisis would cease to be a concern when the cost of "fixing" it began to hit our pocketbooks.  Well, I didn't have to wait that long.  It seems that $4.50 a gallon for gas, which doesn't even include the price of fixing gw/cc/cc, is the breaking point. 
 
According to a recent poll of 920 adults announced in Investors Business Daily: 
 
73% think that high gas prices are a bigger problem than gw/cc/cc/  (23% think it isn't)
 
64% favor offshore drilling 
 
65% favor oil shale development
 
"The sentiment prevails across the board - among men and women, old and young, rich and poor, and Republicans, Independents, and Democrats, two-thirds of whom say gas prices are more important." 
 
Drilling in ANWR remains problematic, with only 47% saying yes and 43% saying no, which goes to show that the Left's propaganda has worked.  Republicans favor drilling in ANWR 68%-27%; democrats oppose it 56%-40%; Independents are split down the middle. 
 
The Left is starting to feel the pressure, and that drip, drip, drip of sweat off their brows is turning into a torrent running down their backs.  The American people, led by Republicans (what a refreshing change!) need to keep applying that pressure.  President Bush has lifted the executive ban on offshore drilling, and Congress now needs to follow suit. 
 
We the People own this country and our needs and our security should not be held hostage to the whims and vagaries of some people in DC who cannot see past their own egos (which will always outweigh their abilities) to the big picture beyond.
 
Drill here.  Drill now.

Another Reason To Vote For McCain (Or Against Obama)

Posted by Roxanna M. on Monday, July 14, 2008 9:28:53 AM
 
"I think Obama is not tall on experience . . . but I believe he's a really good person.  He's smart.  And he does represent what the country needs most, which is change.  I hope he'll win.  I think he will.  If he doesn't, you can kiss the Democratic (sic) party good-bye.  I think we need new voices, new blood.  We need to get a whole group out, get a new group in."

Tony Snow

Posted by Roxanna M. on Sunday, July 13, 2008 9:40:41 AM
 
I first read about Tony Snow's death on Drudge.  It was not until hours later that I first saw it on Fox News. 
 
Lost among the many moving and heartfelt tributes to him was the fact that he was most likely killed by a doctor.  I believe it was Brit Hume who was the first to say, at least he was the first I heard say it, that Tony Snow, because of a family history of colon cancer, had himself checked out every 6 months. 
 
Had himself checked out every 6 months, and the doctor(s) couldn't find the cancer until it was already too late? 
 
We're paying through the nose for health care, and this is what we get?  The medical profession is killing us off at the rate of 274 per day, and that's the low end of the spectrum. 
 
If Ahmadinejad rounded up and killed 274 people per day, we would call that slaughter.  The human rights groups would be in an uproar.  The UN might even consider imposing more (useless) sanctions. 
 
Meanwhile, here in America, we've got people telling us that we've got to stop the "frivolous" law suits against the medical profession.  We've groups, as well as a presidential candidate, telling us that we've got to socialize health care, which would make it worse than it already is. 

As in any profession, the bad ones ruin it for the good ones.  But, is there any other group or association anywhere in the world that is allowed to kill 274 people a day and get away with it?  Not only get away with it, but not face an ounce of censure about it? 
 
Maybe Tony Snow's death might change that.  If so, it would be a fitting tribute.

Loser of the Week

Posted by Roxanna M. on Saturday, July 12, 2008 9:54:02 AM
 
The "winner" this week is Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA) for his blathering in front of young and impressionable high school students from the World Wildlife Fund's Allianz Southeast Climate Witness Program, who had come to the Capitol to "brief" members of Congress on the risks of global warming.  The students were from the Gulf States.  Here are some quotes: 

1.  "In Somalia back in 1993, climate change, according to 11 three- and four-star generals, resulted in a drought which led to famine.  That famine translated to international aid we sent in to Somalia, which then led to the U.S. having to send in forces to separate all the groups that were fighting over the aid, which led to Black Hawk Down." 

2.  "There now is no question that this harm is being caused by human activity.  It's warming up the planet and melting the glaciers.  There is an underwater heat wave going on.  The waters get warmer and warmer and that intensifies the storms and creates even greater havoc when those storms reach land.  The planet is running a fever.  It's heating up, but there is no emergency rooms (sic) for planets.  The worst consequences affect the planet - not only New Orleans - but the whole planet." 

3.  "The same thing is true by the way of Darfur.  Darfur is really about water.  This is an issue which really goes to the heart of the incredible impact that climate change is having upon our planet." 

4.  "Back 100 years ago, women rose up and said we want the right to vote, and they were successful.  Now, you are like the green generation and you are rising up and saying we must ensure the planet does not suffer the worst consequences of climate change." 

What do we learn from this: 

1.  Members of Congress are getting briefings from high school students.   Are we in trouble or what? 

2.  Three- and four-star generals are authorities on the subject of global warming. 

3.  Droughts are a result of global warming.  Hey, this means that global warming has been going on for centuries.  And, yet, we're still here.  How is that possible? 

4.  Suffrage = global warming. 

5.  Ted Kennedy.  John Kerry.  Ed Markey.  Is there something in the water?

You Can Fool Some of the People . . .

Posted by Roxanna M. on Friday, July 11, 2008 3:27:32 PM
 
According to a recent poll by the non-partisan Clarus Research Group in Washington, D.C., the choice of a running mate will be more important than usual this year. 
 
Democrats want someone with "economic, military, foreign policy, and administrative experience." 
 
In other words, democrats are looking for someone who knows what he/she is doing.  Maybe they should have thought about that before giving the nomination to the least-qualified candidate.

Dear Senator Feinstein,

Posted by Roxanna M. on Friday, July 11, 2008 1:06:36 PM
 
Thank you for your response to my recent e-mail.  I have some questions about what you said:
 
1.  The United States consumes more than 20.5 million barrels of oil per year - or 25% of total global consumption - but has less than 3% of the known global reserves.
 
          What about the recent report in Investors Business Daily which stated that we have more reserves than Saudi Arabia?
 
2.  Opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil and gas exploration would not increase domestic crude oil production until 2018.
 
          If the democrats had not blocked such oil and exploration back in the days of Bill Clinton, this resource would now be on line.  If we start now, this resource will be on line in 2018.  When will it be on line if we don't start now?
 
3.   Additional oil production from opening ANWR is estimated to yield 745,000 barrels per day - or 3.6% of daily U.S. consumption - and would reduce the price of oil by no more than $1.44 per barrel.
 
          Your fellow colleague, Charles Schumer (D-NY), said that ANWR would produce 1 million barrels a day and would reduce the price of gas by at least $.50 per gallon.  Where did you get your numbers?
 
4.  Lifting the Federal moratorium on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) would not have significant impact on domestic crude oil and natural gas production or prices before 2030.
 
          And if we don't lift it now, when will it have significant impact?
 
5.  You may also be interested to know that between 1999 and 2007, the number of drilling permits issued to the oil industry increased by 361%.  Over the same period, however, gas prices increased from $1.25 per gallon to over $4.00 per gallon.
 
          I wasn't aware that the issuance of a drilling permit was synonymous with actually finding oil.  Thanks for clearing that up for me.
 
6.  The oil industry also has access to significant oil and gas resources on federal lands and waters that they have yet to use.  According to the Department of the Interior:
 
     (a)  The majority of crude oil and natural gas believed to be available on the OCS - 79% of oil and 82% of natural gas - are already available for drilling through existing leases.
 
          I thought you said there was a Federal moratorium in place.
 
     (b)  Nearly 64 million acres of federal land and water leased to the oil and gas industry are not being used to increase domestic production.
 
          Is there any oil there?  Do you think that it is more cost effective to look for oil on lands that are already leased rather than just going straight to where we know there's oil?  If so, why?
 
7.  Instead of initiating oil and gas exploration in places like ANWR and the OCS ( I thought you said the oil industry already had leases there), I believe that the United States needs a long-term strategy to address our dependence on oil.
 
          You've been a senator since 1992, that's 16 years.  Yet your official biography doesn't list a single accomplishment with regard to our country's energy policy.  Did you ever think about our need for a "long-term strategy" before gas hit $4.50 a gallon?  If so, when?  If not, why not?
 
8.  We must take steps to increase the use of renewable energy and maximize current supplies by supporting energy efficient technologies.
 
          You say there's no point in drilling because any results are years away, but here you are telling me that we "must take steps" to increase the use of renewable energy and maximize current supplies by "supporting energy efficient technologies."  How many years away are results from these?  What is your plan to ease pain at the pump now?
 
9.  Please know that I appreciate hearing your support for increasing domestic oil and gas exploration, and I will keep your thoughts in mind as I continue working with my Senate colleagues to strengthen our national energy policy.
 
          Don't we have to have a "national energy policy" before we can "strengthen" it? 
 
Cordially yours,
 
Roxanna Moser

Depends On What You're Spending It On

Posted by Roxanna M. on Thursday, July 10, 2008 2:52:47 PM
 
T. Boone Pickens has put together a TV ad that, so far, I have seen only on Fox News.  It's all about oil and alternative energy and what are we going to do about the current crisis. 
 
That ad contains one of the most profound statements I have ever heard:  we are spending over $700 billion every year on oil, which he says is four times more than the Iraq war is costing us.  And, we are sending that money to countries whose leaders don't like us very much. 
 
One of the complaints we hear most from the Left about the Iraq War is that it is costing us too much.  One of their main arguments is that we could use that money in better ways.  So, the Left is unhappy at the amount of money we're spending to win a war, but is perfectly happy to spend 4 times that amount to purchase a product we could produce right here. 
 
Seems to me that if the Left had let us harvest our own resources instead of blocking exploration, drilling, and refining at every turn through the past several decades, a whole lot less of our money would have ended up in the mid-east and maybe, just maybe, the Iraq war would not have been necessary at all.

Facts is Facts

Posted by Roxanna M. on Wednesday, July 09, 2008 3:07:09 PM
 
From the office of Congressman Roy Blunt (R-MO) comes the following info from the last 14 years:
 
91% of House Republicans want to develop ANWR; 86% of democrats don't
 
97% of House Republicans are in favor of conversion of coal to a liquid; 78% of democrats aren't
 
90% of House Republicans favor the development of oil shale in Colorado and Utah; 86% of democrats don't
 
81% of House Republicans are in favor of exploring the Outer Continental Shelf; 83% of democrats aren't
 
97% of House Republicans are in favor of increasing refinery capacity; 96% of democrants aren't
 
According to Congressman Blunt, 91% of Republicans have favored development of oil and gas reserves, while 86% of democrats haven't. 

Why have the democrats taken such an adamant stance against the best interests of this country and its people?  What's in it for them to do so?

Our National Disgrace

Posted by Roxanna M. on Wednesday, July 09, 2008 1:57:34 PM
 
At the conclusion of the G-8 summit in Japan, President Bush had this to say:  "The Democratic (sic) leaders in Congress will not allow us to explore for oil and gas in parts of Alaska, offshore America, and now is the time for them to change their mind."

In a July 8 letter to the President, Nancy Pelosi urged him to use his "authority as President to draw down a small portion of the oil held in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in order to expand available supplies and help reduce the record prices that are helping push the economy toward recession."  She also said that tapping the SPR is "more than justified by the 'destablizing impact' that gasoline price increases are having on the economy."  She believes that "Releasing oil from the Reserve is a tool to manage our national and economic security, and when judiciously used will in no way jeoardize national security."  She believes that "The Reserve is currently 97% full - the highest level ever - with enough oil to meet our national security needs." 

There is much to like in what she says.  She acknowledges that the high price of gas is hurting the economy and that more supply is necessary.  In saying this, she is acknowledging reality.  But, by saying that the only place she is going to allow that supply to come from is the SPR, she is retreating from reality, back into that happy place where it's always someone else's fault.  The purpose of the SPR is to ensure that we have oil in the event of a national emergency.  It was not designed to be tapped every time members of Congress need to cover their behinds for their own incompetence.  

Also in her letter was the comment that oil prices have increased from less than $30 a barrel to a high of nearly $150 a barrel "since your administration took office." 

In July 2007, the price of oil was $75 a barrel, now it's flirting with $150.  New math, old math, it doesn't matter.  That's nearly double in just one year. 

This is worrisome behavior from a person who's only a couple of heartbeats away from the Oval Office. 

Either she doesn't know what the price of gas has done since her party took back Congress - in which case she's stupid.  Or, she wants to put the blame somewhere else - in which case she's simply dishonest. 

Since she's either stupid or dishonest, why should we believe her assessment that tapping into the SPR won't hurt our national security? 

Drill here.  Drill now.

It's What They're Saying Now That Scares Me, Part I

Posted by Roxanna M. on Monday, July 07, 2008 6:01:49 PM
 
My dad sent me an e-mail the other day dealing with Michelle Obama’s college thesis. At 33 I was confronted with something I had said at 25 and was greatly embarrassed, not at what I had said but at how I had said it. Therefore, I’m not greatly interested in what the 20-something Michelle said. We’re allowed to be immature and say stupid things in our 20’s.

For the record, however, I would like to say that I’m fed up with blacks in America whining about how bad they’ve got it here. You know, not everyone is a racist and racism is not at the core of everything that happens.

So, Michelle and everybody else out there who likes to complain about the lack of opportunity here in this “really mean country”, take five minutes to sit down and think about all the opportunities that would have awaited you had you NOT had the good fortune to grow up in America. Lose the attitude and count your blessings.

Okay, I’m done digressing. It’s what Mr. & Mrs. BO are saying now that have me really worried.

“Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.”
I’m not liking this at all. I’m okay with the work part, I already do that. However, since BO has no concept of how the economy works, I’m not happy with the fact that I might have to work two jobs just to put gas in my tank. "Demand" I shed my cynicism?  Put down my “divisions”? Come out of my “isolation”? Move out of my “comfort zones”? That I “engage”? “Never allow” me to “go back” to my life “as usual, uninvolved, uninformed”?

Words have meaning, and these words are a frightening glimpse into the mind of a man who is really a blank slate.  For the record, Michelle, your husband is running to be President of the United States.  If he wants to be a totalitarian dictator, he's free to do that elsewhere.

Quotable Quotes

Posted by Roxanna M. on Saturday, July 05, 2008 11:11:42 AM
 
"Whether or not commanding a Navy squadron or rallying brutalized American POWs in the Hanoi Hilton is qualification for the presidency, surely this was a missed opportunity to ask whether voting 'present' in the Illinois Legislature nearly 130 times is a superior qualification."
 
                                                                                              Jonah Goldberg 
 
The opportunity is also ripe for asking:  Is running for the presidency the majority of time you have been a United States senator a superior qualification to that of a man who has actually served as a United States senator for nearly two decades?

Happy Fourth of July!

Posted by Roxanna M. on Friday, July 04, 2008 10:54:27 AM
 
I watched the flag pass by one day,
it fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
and then he stood at ease.
 
I looked at him in uniform
so young, so tall, so proud.
With haircut square and eyes alert,
a standout in the crowd.
 
I thought how many men like him
had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil.
How many mother's tears.
 
How many pilots' planes shot down.
How many died at sea.
How many foxholes soldiers' graves.
No, freedom isn't free.
 
I heard the sound of Taps one night,
when everything was still.
I listened to the bugler play
and felt a sudden chill.
 
I wondered just how many times
that Taps had meant "Amen".
When a flag had draped a coffin
of a brother or a friend.
 
I thought of all the children,
of the mothers and the wives,
of father, sons, and husbands
with interrupted lives.
 
I thought about a graveyard
at the bottom of the sea.
Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
No, freedom isn't free.
 
------------------------------
 
I have no idea who wrote this wonderful poem.  If I did, I would surely give them credit.  I received it by e-mail from one of my friends.  It is more than worthy to be re-printed here on this day.

What's Happened to America?

Posted by Roxanna M. on Thursday, July 03, 2008 11:21:54 AM
 
As we approach our 232nd birthday, what has happened to America?  Where's the America that threw off its English shackles?  Where's the America what won WWI?  That won WWII?  Where's the America that went from newcomer to superpower in, historically speaking, the blink of an eye? 
 
The Left loves to claim that the war in Iraq has diminished our standing in the world.  That Bush's "cowboy diplomacy" has diminished our standing in the world.  Really?  Then why have more pro-US leaders been elected than non-pro-US leaders?  Every civilized nation of the world knows that we are all that stands between them and destruction.  And, every uncivilized, blood-thirsty nation knows that we are all that stands between them and their hope of world domination.  Still think we're so diminished?
 
If there is any loss of prestige, it's because of the policies of the Left.  First and foremost among these is the refusal to allow America to harvest its own resources.  It's rather incongruous to say, out of one side of their mouth, that America has lost prestige, while at the same time, out of the other side of their mouth, demand that the President of the United States, Leader of the Free World, go out with hat in hand begging for more oil.  Have we no pride? 
 
What about the Supreme Court giving constitutional rights to our enemies all because of the Left's misguided belief that if we're nice to them, they'll be nice to us.  What about the Left complaining about waterboarding and rendition?  What about the Left demanding that we close down Gitmo?  What about the Leftist New York Times leaking classified information?  What about the Leftist Senators and Representatives who called our troops "cold-blooded murderers" and compared them to Hitler and Stalin?  What about the Leftists who want to weaken the Patriot Act, or do away with it all together?  What about the Leftists who are complaining about wireless surveillance?  Trust me, this is what reduces our standing.  If the Left had a clue, it would know this.
 
During the 8-year summer camp of the Clinton administration, our enemies grew stronger and more bold.  Why?  Because they knew that America - under a democrat - would not act.  The attacks on 9/11 were a direct result of the Clinton administration's abject failure in matters of national security.  For nearly 7 years now, President Bush and his policies have kept us safe.  The terrorists aren't just waiting for this resolute leader to leave, they're hoping that the winner in November is the naive, adolescent who thinks that the sheer force of his personality is all that is necessary to make everything all better.   
 
As I said in my previous posting, the simps and wimps in DC are making our Founding Fathers turn over in their graves.  Where is a George Washington or John Adams who will tell the fat, ugly King Abdullah, "Methinks you're getting too big for your britches.  Methinks we'll keep our money here instead of giving it to you."?  Where is a Thomas Jefferson or James Madison who will arouse the sleeping giant to action before it's too late?
 
Congress has failed and is languishing in its stupor.  The Supreme Court has failed and is revelling in its stupidity.  And, America appears poised to send a boy to do a man's job. 
 
It's up to We the People to do the heavy lifting.  It's up to us to hold our leaders accountable.  It's up to us - every single day - to ask our elected representatives what they're doing to get us out of the mess they helped us get into.  It's up to us - every single day - to remind them that we put them in office and we can take them out of office. 
 
On this 232nd birthday of our country, it's time to take back our country from those who seem content to deliver it to our enemies.

What Is So Hard About This?

Posted by Roxanna M. on Wednesday, July 02, 2008 7:09:37 PM
 
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia said that "Consumer countries have to adapt to the prices and the mechanisms of the market.  We have nothing to do with current sharp increase in crude prices.  These countries must reduce their taxes on fuel . . . if they want to contribute to easing the burden on ordinary consumers."  

In other words, get used to it. 

That should be all the impetus the slackers in DC, who are supposed to be looking out for our best interests, need to begin harvesting our own resources.  What is so wrong with the Left's collective brain that it thinks it's okay to keep us - ourselves, our economy, our national security - dependent on hostile sources?  What is so wrong with the Left's collective brain that it doesn't see the wisdom in using our own resources for our own benefit?  What is so wrong with the Left's collective brain that it thinks it's a good idea to send hundreds of billions of dollars every year overseas instead of keeping it here? 

With the Left's pathological need to spend, spend, spend, you would think that just once it would have noticed that there's truckloads of money slipping through its slimy fingers. 

I have the great misfortune to have two of the Senate's most intellectually-challenged members for my representatives - Feinstein and Boxer.  When I e-mailed them recently about what they're doing to solve this crisis, I got the usual drivel, i.e., windfall profits tax and alternative energy.  I again e-mailed Boxer and asked which of these measures was going to give relief at the pump now.  Of course, I got no answer.  That's because the Left has no answers.  It's been caught with its pants down and can't do anything but look around in anger and embarrassment. 

What's happened to America?  Our supposed leadership has given up, saying that nothing can be done.  Unless, of course, you count holding hearings and blaming everyone but themselves as actually doing something.  "Even if we started drilling now, nothing would come on-line for at least 5 years".  Then, start drilling now so we're not in worse shape in 5 years. 

The people who founded this great country, the ones who were willing to risk everything, are turning over in their graves at the sight of the sorry spectacles in DC who can't do anything except wring their hands and lie to themselves and everyone else. 

For Pete's sake, you're leaders.  Start leading, and if you can't lead, get the blazes out of the way and let some competent people have a go at it.
 
What is so hard about this?
