Here. I’m posting this especially for slippyshod. Behold! “The only problem is — and this is initially going to seem like heresy from a progressive is — the truth is everybody needs to pay more taxes, not just the rich. And it’s a good start. But we’re not going to get out of this deficit problem unless we raise taxes across the board, to go back to what Bill Clinton

Finally. Acceptable gun control
Is that a pistol in your push-up bra, honey, or is it just really cold outside…?* (h/t TerryH)
“Obama expected to push gun control in second term”
Which is a good thing, provided we’re talking about Mexican drug cartels. Here, though? Not so much: With President Obama’s final election behind him, gun-control advocates said they expect the White House to begin pushing through an assortment of gun restrictions in coming months. Obama rarely talked about guns during his re-election campaign, and when he did, it was mostly to reassure voters he had no plans to take away
If we can just get enough people to quit, unemployment numbers would be even better! [Darleen Click]
542,000 Americans quit the labor force in November, unemployment rate down to 7.7%. Say Hello to the new normal in the era of King Barry I. 2. If labor force participation was at its January 2009 level, the unemployment rate would be a whopping 10.7%. Now, some of the drop in the LFP is due to demographic reasons, primarily the aging of the US population. But even taking that into
Slandering of Salvation Army is not innocent mistake [Darleen Click]
The “student government” at UC Berkeley is demanding that the Salvation Army bell ringers be banned from the campus because of The Tolerance™ The reason: Allegations of discrimination based on sexual orientation by the celebrated charitable organization could cause gay and lesbian students to take offense. The lengthy Nov. 14 resolution, SB 176, asserts that “Salvation Army church services, including charity services, are available only to people ‘who accept and
“Conservative group launches campaign to ‘depose’ Boehner from speakership”
Finally. Some people who understand that a bureaucratic GOP awaiting its turn at the statist trough is every bit at odds with the founding principles as is the New Left, who have taken over the Democratic party. Daily Caller: The backlash against Speaker of the House John Boehner’s removal of several conservative members of Congress from committees continued Wednesday, with one conservative group calling for Republicans to “depose” Boehner from
“Gallup: 53 Percent of Democrats Have ‘Positive Image’ of Socialism”
Meaning that 47% of Democrats are probably racists. So. Can we finally note that the majority of Democrats — represented most obviously in their party leadership — have a bit of the old Marx fever, and the only cure is more (collective) cowbell?
Define “conservative”
Because I don’t know what it means any longer — particularly when the term has become has been so diluted that it now includes among its members those who voted for Obama and believe critiques of the Obama phone are “racist,” or cheer on deals that would raise taxes and raise the debt ceiling without significant cuts in spending, while simultaneously blasting conservative candidates for daring to give honest voice
“EPA’s engine destroying gas may be coming soon”
So help them, they will have us herded into controlled urban centers if it’s the last thing they do. After all, how else can they keep the riff raff off the prime, secluded real estate? NetRightDaily: E15 is a blend of regular gasoline mixed with 15 percent ethanol. The pumps are recognized by their black and orange labels. And that label is not something you want to ignore. In an
“The Budget Baseline Con”
I linked this in my previous post, but just to make sure the information is laid out, allow me to quote from it here. WSJ: If the fiscal cliff talks make Lindsay Lohan look like a productive member of society, perhaps it’s because President Obama and John Boehner are playing by the dysfunctional Beltway rules. The rules work if you like bigger government, but Republicans need a new strategy, which
