Bush Signs Bill Curbing Lawsuits

Boy ! That was fast !

More Africans Enter U.S. Than In Days of Slavery

African-born residents of the United States are sharing their relative prosperity here by sending more than $1 billion annually back to their families and friends.

"Historically, every immigrant group has jumped over American-born blacks," said Eric Foner, the Columbia University historian. "The final irony would be if African immigrants did, too."

So in the end, if immigrant blacks prosper here, then who is really to blame when American-born blacks don't ?

Iowa High Court: No Driver's ID For Illegals

It's so nice having courts finally making rational decisions for a change.

Curt Daniels, lead attorney for a group of immigrants who filed a lawsuit against the state, argued Jan. 13 before the Supreme Court that the policy violates their rights to equal protection under the U.S. constitution.

Why these idiots think that the constitution applies to non-citizens boggles the mind.
Besides, there's nothing in the constitution that says anything about having a right to a drivers license at all. Amazing a case like this even made into court. At least the right decision was handed down.

Cry Liberal, Cry

Jimmy Carter. Unlike most of these young Moonbats, I remember the Carter Administration. One of the most disastrous Presidencies in the history of this country. Double digit inflation, double digit unemployment. They called it the "Misery Index". You might recall that the Kerry campaign tried resurrecting "Misery Index" against the Bush campaign last Spring. Americans laughed. Under a digit inflation and under 10% unemployment... duh. Thanks for reminding Americans how bad it could get. The Soviet Union was still roaring strong then... invaded Afghanistan. Jimmy boycotted the Olympics. Sure showed them. Iran took over our Embassy. Held Americans hostage. Jimmy sent two or three helicopters. Good show of force and resolve there Jimmy. Since his land slide defeat by one of the greatest Presidents in our history, Jimmy's coddled Castro, Kim Jong-il (he's the one sent to negotiate during the Clinton Administration when NotSoBright got nowhere), Yasser Arafat, et all. This moron has been on the wrong side of history most of my life and still you idiots listen to him. Oh well, this is America and you have the right to be stupid and wrong, at least you're finally losing elections.

I remember making minimum wage and having it go up three times in two years. Sure, you were ahead for all of about two weeks, then boom ! You had less buying power than before. Then when you asked your boss for a raise, he'd say, "You just got one.". Sucked. Jimmy was the illustration of everything wrong with Democrats and even though I was young at the time; the lesson was not lost on me.

Bush Open To Ideas On Social Security. MSM And Democrats Cry Foul

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada said his party would be attacked for advocating tax increases if it embraced the idea. "We're not going to fall for that," he said.

Gee, getting the hint ? Too bad Boxer, Clinton, Kerry, Kennedy and Pelosi haven't.

Bush said Thursday that members of Congress should feel free to make any such proposals "without political retribution."

From him anyway. He's smart (something you Moonbats still haven't figured out). He knows that he doesn't have to say anything. The alternative media will rip them to pieces.

"What I'm saying to members of Congress is that we have a problem, come together and let's fix it, and bring your ideas forward."

Of course he knows that they have no intention of being part of the solution. They want people to be dependent on big government, to be dependent on them.

On Capitol Hill, Senate Democrats described Bush's offer as a ploy to get them to put forward unpopular proposals.

So they are finally realizing that their ideas are unpopular ? That the majority of Americans see their ideas as bankrupt ? Huh. If they hadn't elected Dean The Scream as their Chairman, I'd think there was hope for them.

They said they remained opposed to his plan, and they unveiled a Web site calculator designed to show workers they would be worse off than under current law.

Interesting, President Bush is proposing a voluntary program. One that Government workers have enjoyed for years. But we the unwashed masses aren't intelligent enough to utilize. TLM (Typical Liberal Mentality).

As is, beginning as early as 2018, the system is set to pay out more in benefits than it collects in taxes. And by 2042, the money stored up from past surpluses will be exhausted and Social Security will only be able to pay 73 percent of promised benefits from the revenues it will be taking in, according to the program's trustees. Eliminating the cap on wages subject to taxation would push those dates back. An analysis written last week by Social Security actuaries found that eliminating the cap would mean the system would continue to collect more than it paid out until 2025, and would stay solvent for 75 years, the window traditionally used to evaluate the program's finances.

Totally ignoring human nature. If you were taxed more after you reached a certain income level, to the point that you were effectively no longer keeping any more money, wouldn't you make damned sure the next year you made just under that amount ?

Bush wants a permanent fix, and he says his plan for private accounts would help achieve it. This would allow younger workers to divert 4 percentage points of their tax into personal accounts that could be invested in stocks and bonds, which have historically earned more than Social Security trust funds do.

Bush wants a permanent fix. Good. Four percentage points. A lousy four points ! What in the hell is so alarming about that ? It's next to nothing ! "Social Security trust funds". Big LIE ! There never were any trust funds ! The Demoncrats "borrowed" from SS to fund everything else in the past fifty years ! There never was a "lock box". The money never was there, it isn't there. Leave it to the MSM to repeat the standard LIE.

Just 6 percent of American workers earn more than $90,000 per year, and wages over this threshold are not taxed for Social Security. In all, there is $845 billion in payroll that won't be taxed by Social Security this year.

Just 6 percent. Do the math people. If you start over taxing those six percent, how many do you think will still be making over $90,000 per year the second year ? It will be Atlas Shrugged.

The impact of doing so (increasing the wages) would be felt on the wealthiest Americans. It could cost a worker earning $120,000 per year $1,860 more, and his employer the same. A worker who earned $150,000 would pay an extra $3,700 in taxes, with her employer paying an equal amount.

Employer paying an equal amount. Gee, wonder how many jobs would be lost because the employer could no longer afford them ?

Some lawmakers propose raising the cap but not eliminating it. Raising the limit so that wages up to $160,000 were taxed, for instance, would generate about $525 billion over 10 years.

Again, ignoring human behavior, thinking people would continue to behave as though they were not be taxed beyond their desire to pay. I for one would make sure my salary was $159,999.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., suggests lifting the cap to $200,000 a year, which would raise nearly $1 trillion over a decade nearly enough to pay for the transition.

See above. What an idiot.

Law Would Shield Reporters

Judge David Sentelle, however, points to a way out of the predicament. Sentelle said Congress, rather than the courts, was the proper forum for considering whether reporters deserve protection.

Wow ! A Judge that understands that it's not his job to make laws ! A return to sanity ? Only time will tell.

Conservatives And Rivals Press A Struggling PBS

Corporate underwriters have been less willing to finance PBS programs, which has left the network increasingly dependent on Washington, where Republicans criticize its programming as elitist and liberal.

That's kind of a duh.

The network has also struggled to develop popular new shows.

Gee, the "high brow" cable channels don't seem to be struggling to develop popular new shows.

"The biggest problem we've got is the structure we've got," Alberto Ibarguen, the chairman of PBS and the publisher of The Miami Herald, said in an interview yesterday. "It assumes a lot of government funding, continuing heavy levels of corporate image advertising and no competition. But in the world we're in - the world of increased cable competition, less and less government funding and cutbacks in corporate image advertising - it's a significant problem if that's your business model."

Business model ? Is that what you call it ? Forcing people (tax payers) to pay for something they don't want is a business model ? That's the business model the Mafia uses. Most people would call it extortion or theft. Yeah, that pesky competition thingy Alberto. That's what we like to call Capitalism. Maybe you should move a little to the South if you don't like it. There's a little slab in the Southwest corner of Key West that will point you in the general direction.

New managers at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting had been concerned about a perceived liberal bias at PBS as well as difficulties in fund-raising.

Perceived liberal bias from PBS ? Now where would we get that idea ?It's long past time for PBS to be shelved. There is no reason for the government to fund television programming. "Oh, but where shall we get our high-quality programming from ? Corporate America would never broadcast good programs like PBS !" Tell that to A&E, Animal Planet, BBC America, The Biography Channel, The C-SPANs, Bravo, The Discovery Channels, E!, The Hallmark Channel, The History Channels, The Independent Film Channel, The Learning Channel, The Lifetime Channels, NASA TV, The National Geographic Channels, Oxygen, The Science Channel, The Sundance Channel, The Travel Channel, and WE. They don't seem to have trouble making a profit.
The need (if there ever was a need) for PBS has long since gone. Time to stop stealing from the vast majority of tax payers to fund something they don't want.
Once PBS is dead, we can start to focus on NPR.

Clinton & Kerry Want Felons To Vote

The Demoncratic Party: Felon Friendly !

I guess it's only natural that the Demoncrats would court criminals.

Republican efforts have centered on reducing voter fraud, while Democrats have called for making access to the ballot box easier and simpler.

Or to put it another way, the Demoncrats do not want to reduce fraud and want to make it easier and simpler for people to vote as often as they want, even if they're criminals.

Talk about selective and biased reporting, Reuters didn't bother to report the little fact that wanting Felons to vote was part of their pitch ! Good thing I don't count on Reuters for getting the full story !

Let's face it, they're losing the Black and Latino votes in droves... who else would be crazy enough to vote for them ? [Ding Ding Ding !] Criminals !

Vote for us ! We just love Felons ! What a great slogan !

Why do major corporations keep thinking we will actually respond favorably to these things ? They count on us being idiots and A-Holes. What really dumbfounds me is the companies that make pop-up adds or spam us with unsolicited e-mails. What makes them think I would ever do business with a company that pisses me off ?

I love that statement. For decades the Federal Government under Demoncrats had issued massive unfunded mandates to the states for social engineering experiments and of course the stupid 55 MPH limit. Now that a mandate comes along that will actually help protect our country, they bitch.

My responses to a Rabid Moonbat.

This Day In History

• 1690- The first paper money in America was issued by the Massachusetts colony. The currency was used to pay soldiers who were fighting in the war against Quebec. Of course then, the paper was worth more than paper.
• 1913 - The 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is ratified. This grants Congress the authority to collect income taxes. And then they promptly changed the meaning of the word Income. Before it was any profit you made. They changed it to any monies you earned. Any guess as to which Party ?
• 1917 - When Germany announced a policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, the U.S. broke off diplomatic relations. Pretty stupid move on Germany's part.
• 1941 - In Vichy, France, the Nazis used force to restore Pierre Laval to office. But what the hell, not like France mattered.
• 1959 - The Day The Music Died - Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and "The Big Bopper" perish when their plane crashes near Clear Lake, Iowa.
• 1966 -The Soviet Union's Lunik 9 becomes the first spacecraft to successfully achieve a controlled "soft-landing" on the moon. Of cource they never could put a man (oh, sorry, a human) on the moon... Why haven't we gone back ?
• 1984 - Challenger 4 was launched as the tenth space shuttle mission.
• 1994 - A 19-year-old trade embargo against Vietnam is lifted by President Clinton. Nuff said.
• 1998 - Texas executed Karla Faye Tucker. She was the first woman executed in the U.S. since 1984. So why not check out why she deserved it ?

Nope, .I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal ofHonor winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone because of profiling.

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldredsand other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that wantto thwart common sense, feel doubly ashamed of themselves - if they haveany such sense. As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly putit, "Stupid is as stupid does."Come on people wake up!!! our troops need your support.

I couldn't watch the Address last night so I went to WhitHouse.Gov and watched it tonight.

I think it was his finest speech to date.

It was uplifting.

It was inspiring.

President Bush has a true vision of what must be done, what should be done.

The Demoncracts can only focus on the negatives and have no alternative plans.

Here's hoping Dean becomes their new Chairman and ensures that the fifty years of their misleading this country finally ends.
