Hey, lets tax Hookers

Nevada's hookers are begging and pleading for the taxman to cometh.

State lawmakers in Carson City shot down a proposed prostitution tax supported by the Nevada Brothel Association.

The industry, legal in parts of the state, said it wants to help the ailing economy by charging customers a $5 tax on each sex act.

For years, brothels have sought a tax as a way of making their businesses more legitimate.

But making them more legit was exactly the fear of lawmakers who voted against the idea

Harry Reid the Noble Racist

As a Latino and strong Conservative, I won’t say I was personally offended by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s recent comments when he told Latinos on the campaign trail, "I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican, okay. Do I need to say more?"

I’m not offended, but Hispanics in Navada and across the nation should be!

They should be offended because Reid is doing exactly what all Denocrats do to Latinos and Blacks come election time, crack the “mental plantation” whip that keeps Latinos in line.

You see, according to Harry Reid’s mindset, Latinos are an inferior group that cannot achieve anything for themselves without the help of the government or the Democrat Party.
You can call it the "racism of dependency and low expectations". White Democrats get to practice this type of racism with impunity only because Latinos and Blacks let them get away with it.

These types of comments by Reid and other Democrats will continue because they know it works with the target audience.

So as a Latino who voted for Ronald Reagan, I ask my fellow Latinos and Blacks, how long will you continue to support a party that expects nothing from you except your votes to keep their party afloat? A party that says to you through lies and deception that they are your only protectors and hide their true history of being the original enslavers of Black people.

How long will you succumb to “group think” that perpetually ties you to one party from birth simply because of the color of your skin?

Can you really call that freedom or is it slavery?

Sharon Angle is a Woman of Faith Running for the Senate God’s Call

Sharon Angle is not afraid to show that she’s a woman of faith.

Progressives, however, always feel uncomfortable when people speak this way because, lets face it, they’re Godless people who only pay lip service to a faith in God for political expediency.

The only God they believe in is government.

New York Post

Republican Sharron Angle says her campaign to unseat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada is "a calling" from God and that her faith is helping her endure a fiercely competitive race in which Democrats have depicted her as a conservative extremist.

"When you have God in your life ... he directs your path," Angle told the Christian Broadcasting Network in an interview posted on its website Wednesday.

Asked why she entered the race, Angle said "the reason is a calling."
"When God calls you he also equips you and He doesn't just say, 'Well today you're going to run against Harry Reid,'" the tea party favorite said.

In the Bible "Moses has his preparatory time. Paul had his preparatory time. Even Jesus had his preparatory time," the former legislator said, citing her years in public office as her preparation for the race.

"God knew all of this in advance," Angle added. "I don't know what's coming up tomorrow but I do know that He is there. He saw it and that He has provided a way of escape and a way for me to endure."

In a wide-ranging interview, Angle said her media appearances are guided by the need to raise money for her campaign and she defended an overhaul of her campaign website in which many of her earlier positions on Social Security and other issues were rewritten, condensed or deleted.

Angle, a Southern Baptist, has called herself a faith-based politician who prays daily. Among her positions, she opposes abortion in all circumstances, including rape and incest.

Since her come-from-behind victory in the June 8 primary, Angle has appeared largely on conservative media outlets. She said her public schedule is being driven by the need to raise money and she gets the best return for her time on conservative programs, which drive up donations.

"The whole point of an interview is to ... earn something with it and I'm not going to earn anything from people who are there to badger me and use my words to batter me with," she said.

In mainstream media outlets "there's no earnings for me there," she added.

Asked about the retooling of her website, she said she was advised by consultants to condense the long-running text on her site. Reid's campaign later posted the website's original language.

"I am pretty wordy," Angle said. "We're still working on those precise statements."

Meanwhile, Angle is airing her first TV ad of the fall campaign -a scathing attack on Reid's record on jobs in a state with a U.S.-leading 14 percent unemployment rate.
Full story

There are two basic ways Progressives attack Conservatives:

1. A conservative candidate is dumb or stupid
2. A conservative candidate is very scary and should be feared.

They always go for #1 first and if it doesn’t stick, they slide onto rule #2. Listen out for the key phrases like, “I wouldn’t want to live in a world created by Sharon Angle.” Dems do it all the time.

I’m rooting for Sharon!

Scott Brown Votes with Democrats on Jobs Bill (Stimulus 2.0)

OH MY GOD!

What have the people of Massachusetts done?

They’ve elected a Democrat lover.

Impeach Scott Brown!

Seriously folks, be prepared to find stories of Scott Brown making national news whenever he votes with Democrats and the spinning that will follow by The Left. Chris Matthews mouth is probably watering if he can pull it out of Obama’s butt long enough.

The Hill reports:

Newly-seated Republican Sen. Scott Brown (Mass.) on Monday joined Democrats in voting to move forward on their $15 billion jobs bill.
Brown crossed the aisle after Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) nixed an $85 billion, bipartisan plan in favor of a more narrowly-focused bill.

“I came to Washington to be an independent voice, to put politics aside, and to do everything in my power to help create jobs for Massachusetts families," Brown said in a statement. "This Senate jobs bill is not perfect. I wish the tax cuts were deeper and broader, but I voted for it because it contains measures that will help put people back to work."

Scott Brown, after all, is a politician. And all politics is local. At least he’s looking for his state which is a far cry from the two losers that represent me in New York.

Democrats Go Nuclear in 60 Days to Pass ObamaCare

Those pesky Democrats in the senate, at least the ones who haven’t announced their retirement, are choosing to pass ObamaCare by using the Nuclear Option, also known as reconciliation whereby only a simple majority of 51 votes gets the bill passed.

This is a very audacious move by the Dems who insist on passing a healthcare reform plan that will lead to inadequate care at the hands of an administration that loves to spend your money.

The Hill reports:

The move would allow Democrats to essentially go it alone on health reform, especially after losing their filibuter-proof majority in the Senate after Sen. Scott Brown's (R) special election victory in Massachusetts.

Republicans have protested the maneuver as a hyperpartisan tactic to ram through a health bill, and have said that plans to use the reconciliation process make moot a bipartisan summit at the White House this week, where both GOP and Democratic leaders are supposed to present their ideas on healthcare.
Full story

As has been the case for the past year, Democrats don’t want to listen to Republican ideas or anything dealing with free market solutions.

Their true God is government now, government tomorrow, government forever!

4 Dem Senators Want Nuclear Option to Pass Public Option

Despite the fact ObamaCare makes most Americans sick, four Democrat senators are asking Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to use reconciliation, a procedural maneuver, otherwise known as the “nuclear option”, requiring only 51 votes, to push for a public health insurance option.

Sens. Michael Bennet (Colo.),
Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.),
Sherrod Brown (Ohio)
and Jeff Merkley (Ore.) signed a letter to Reid saying they support this plan for four reasons: the cost savings the public option is estimated to achieve, continued public support for the public option, the need for increased competition in the insurance market and the Senate's history of using the reconciliation process for health care reform.

The letter points to the last CBS News/ New York Times poll that surveyed Americans on the public option, from Dec. 2009, which showed that 59 percent of Americans supported the public option.

However, Allahpundit at Hot Air points out the following:

As nutty as this sounds to fiscal conservatives, is it really that bad of an idea politically? The public option has polled consistently well, especially vis-a-vis the toxic numbers for the overall bill.

That’s due to several factors — dumb poll questions, poor GOP messaging about the slippery slope of government-run health care, and the minor detail that most of the public doesn’t understand what the public option is

These Dems are getting more and more desperate and panic grows as ship Obama continues to sink.

Health Care Bill to Pass in 30 Days or Less

In politics there are things said for the public to hear, but it’s a totally different story behind closed doors.

As recently as a few days ago, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said with a straight face that there weren’t enough votes in the House to pass the senate version of ObamaCare.

What great news for the voters of Massachusetts and the rest of the country who celebrated the recent election of Scott Brown who ran on a promise to be the 41st vote against Health Care reform and who Obama says was voted into office out of public anger.

However, if you think that President Barack Obama and his far Left Liberal base in congress are going to stop cold with their pursuit of their wildly expensive Health Care reform bill, think again.


TPM Video

These are Democrats!

Nationalized Health Care has been a Liberal wet dream since the days of Theodore Roosevelt. But, maybe you might think that Democrats might slow it down and listen to the American people for a change.

Fat chance!

That’s just as likely as 24/7 coverage on C-SPAN of the meetings behind closed doors between Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid figuring out how exactly they can do the nasty do--passing health care.

However, congressman Alan Grayson, the lovable loon of the House of Representatives, who wanted A.G. Eric Holder to prosecute the creator of a parody website, My Congressman Is Nuts.com, may have let the cat out the bag of whats happening in the shadows of congress on Hard Ball with Chris Matthews:



Yeah, Grayson may be a nutjob, but don’t sleep on the thought that its business as usual in Obamaworld despite the Massachusetts Massacre.

Republicans Continue To Be Cowards Concerning Race

I’m beginning to get alarmed over what I’m seeing lately. Maybe I’m overreacting. But, I get the feeling that the GOP can make a mess of a good situation.

President Obama has been exposed for the empty suit that he is and still the GOP is still acting timidly not wanting to engage when opportunity knocks.

John McCain this morning refused to say that Harry Reid should resign his position as Senate Majority leader for making racially insensitive comments about Barack Obama. McCain was being McCain when he refused to go that road. But, where is Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor, or other prominent voices calling for Reid’s resignation?

Why is it that only talk radio and Michael Steele are doing the heavy lifting?

This is why I’m worried!

We have too many, forgive me Lord, CHICKEN SHIT Republicans that are too timid to engage Democrats in any rhetorical battle that involves race. Nonetheless, in this case, which can be another teaching moment for the American people, Republicans refuse to point out that when Trent Lott praised Strom Thurmond’s run for president in 1948, Republicans sat back and let Democrats label Thurmond as only a segregationist without also pointing out that he was A DEMOCRAT at the time.

Can we get the history straight once and for all?

Oh nooooo waaaaay!

As soon as it becomes about race, Republicans run and hide. They never speak up for their own history in which they were the party that freed the slaves.

Republicans were the party who supported Civil Rights legislation.

It was the Democrats like Robert Byrd, William Fullbright-Bill Clinton’s mentor, and Al Gore Sr. who dragged their feet kicking and screaming to set Blacks free and let them vote and let them have equal access to public accommodations.

I’m sick of this soft attitude that refuses to fight ruthless Democrats that won’t hesitate to use racial politics to destroy any Republican at any time and they do it over and over again because Republicans are too scared to put up a fight.

So what else do we do?

We take pot shots at Michael Steele.

Oh, that really helps the cause.

For example, a blog well worth reading, My Voice on the Wings of Change takes Steele to task for a variety of reasons. And I have my problems with Steele also.

Nevertheless, how is publicly criticizing him helpful in this environment when Democrats will be all too happy to use it as a wedge against Conservatives?

Can we get our act together?

Please?

Obama Media Distorting Michael Steele’s Comments: Harry Reid Should Resign

The Obama-controlled media is in full cover Reid’s ass mode by already misrepresenting what Michael Steele said on Fox News Sunday.

If you look at a report from Politico calling Steele a flip-flopper for insisting that former Republican Majority leader Trent Lott didn’t need to resign in 2002 for comments he made about Strom Thurmond that Democrats found offensive, but instead calling for Reid’s resignation for his remarks calling Barack Obama “light skinned” and without “negro dialect”.

Look at what Steele actually said.




As you can see Steele is calling for Reid’s resignation not solely because of what Reid said about Obama, but because if the Republican leader in Lott had to resign for offensive comments, then Reid should also be made to resign for his offensive comments.

It’s totally irrelevant what Steele’s position was concerning Lott’s resignation, but the MSM is using it to discredit Steele’s argument that there should be only one standard for all politicians instead of separate standards for Democrats and Republicans

Harry Reid apologizes for "light skinned" remark about Obama

Senate Majority leader Harry Reid had to apologize on Saturday for referring to President Barack Obama as “light-skinned” with “no Negro dialect”. Reid, whose poll numbers are dropping like the temperature accross the country, chose to perform the mia culpa because his racially insensitive remarks will appear in an upcoming book about the 2008 prudential campaign.

This is the same Harry Reid who compared Republicans to those in the South who wanted keep slavery as the status quo, for their opposition to ObamaCare.

As I’ve argued before on this blog, Harry Ried willfully misrepresented the history of his own party on the Senate floor in which Democrats were the original enslavers of Black people and it was Democrats like Robert Byrd, formerly of the KKK, who filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

I’m not shocked by these remarks by Reid because it is indicative of the deception of the Democrat Party who has successfully hoodwinked Blacks into thinking the former slave owners and segregationalists like Democrat George Wallace who once famously said, “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!”, are their friends in all things political.

Every now and then the true colors of the Democrat Party slips out. And that's what happened with Reid.

Don’t expect the African American community to reevaluate their allegiance to the Democrat party because for them and the Democrats, the enslavement of minds to a false history still continues.

And the plantation is still open for business.
