Limbaugh Rips GOP Leadership: They Gave ‘A Seminar On How To Surrender’

/10 Comments/in , /by

Rush Limbaugh took a moment on Wednesday to speak about the joint press conference held by the “so-called Republican leadership” — comprised of House Speaker John Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and several others. Criticizing the party’s acquiescing on the issue of tax increases on the wealthy, Limbaugh said the Republicans have “conceded.”

“I don’t know why, but they were smiling,” Limbaugh said. “What we got today was a seminar on how to surrender. It was weak. The Republicans have conceded the language, they have conceded the silly notion of baseline budgeting.”

To his point about the language, Limbaugh said that now “deductions are loopholes,” which sets up the premise that 100 percent of income is subject to taxation. The bottom line: “All money is Washington’s.”

Video: Calif. Teachers Union Releases Cartoon Clip Featuring ‘The Rich’ Urinating on the Poor

/10 Comments/in , /by

A new animated video released by the California Federation of Teachers shows the rich “1 percent” urinating on and stealing money from the less fortunate and middle class. The purpose of the video is to explain “economic inequality” and the need for wealthy people to pay their “fair share of taxes.”

The video argues that the rich got richer by evading taxes and using loopholes to hold onto their money. The union claims this is why Congress needs to repeal Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans . . .

Here is how CFT summarizes its new cartoon video:

“Tax the rich: An animated fairy tale, is narrated by Ed Asner, with animation by award-winning artist Mike Konopacki, and written and directed by Fred Glass for the California Federation of Teachers. The 8 minute video shows how we arrived at this moment of poorly funded public services and widening economic inequality. Things go downhill in a happy and prosperous land after the rich decide they don’t want to pay taxes anymore. They tell the people that there is no alternative, but the people aren’t so sure. This land bears a startling resemblance to our land. After you watch this video, click here to share with friends, and send an email to your elected officials to let them know they need to restore higher federal tax rates on the wealthy so that we may once more enjoy properly funded public services.”

Video: Sarah Palin-Socialism Rising in the United States

/3 Comments/in , /by

In last night’s interview with Hannity, Sarah Palin bluntly suggests that the United States is headed in the completely wrong direction. She maintains that socialism is rising.

But Palin has hope: she believes that Americans will realize, similar to Margaret Thatcher’s observation, that eventually you run out of other peoples’ money.

She hits the “crony capitalists” as the problem – not capitalism – and says that people get confused between free market capitalism and the the crony approach taken by most DC politicians.

Palin also hammers Obama for his confiscatory policies, his efforts to redistribute wealth in the US.

In the eyes of Obama Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Israelis don’t have proper empathy, and they must do more to prove that they understand the pain of oppressed peoples (apparently the holocaust doesn’t qualify).

The Secretary also said there was a lack of generosity, and the presence of suspicion, which together caused the Israelis to miss opportunities for diplomatic solutions.

Sarah Palin appeared on the last “On the Record” to break down simply and aggressively the Obama administration’s missteps, especially its lack of transparency.

Palin also discusses the impending “fiscal cliff” and Newt Gingrich’s recent criticism of Obama’s approach to the impending deadline.

She also criticizes the use of the term “fiscal cliff,” stating that the United States has already gone over the cliff, long ago. The only question is “how hard are we going to thump” at the bottom of the cliff:

VAN SUSTEREN: All right, tell me, why are you telling House Republicans to, quote, “get a grip”?

GINGRICH: Well, I think this whole fiscal cliff language is designed to maximize a sense of fear that’s nonsense. The very same people, the Congress and the president, who invented the fiscal cliff — this is all an invention — could break it down into 12 foothills, or 15 foothills or 20 foothills. They could tackle one problem at [a] time.

I agree with what I understand Senator Jeff Sessions has said — and I think he’ll be on your show later — this ought to be out in the open. We’re rushing towards a secret deal made in secret meetings where nobody will know what’s going on, and then people will be told, Boy, if you don’t vote for this, we’ll go over the cliff.

Well, I think there are a lot worse things than going over a man-made cliff that I think is entirely artificial. And I think the reality is, the President of the United States has not come forward with any serious spending cuts. What the Democrats are proposing is to take the tax increase now, and then sometime next year, eventually, possibly, we might have some kind of entitlement reform. That’s a really bad deal for the American people.

Video: The Real Danger Is Not Going Over The ‘Fiscal Cliff’

In an interview with CNBC earlier this week, economist Peter Schiff suggested that the time for austerity is now. The real danger, he says, is not going over the ‘fiscal cliff.’

In his view, continuing down the road we’re on will only make matters worse, and eventually Asia will stop loaning money to a dead-beat customer who can’t pay back its loans.

There’s just nothing like the spirit of Thanksgiving!

In the video below, New York Jets fans seem a little out of sorts. It might have had something to do with the fact that they got run by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots on Thanksgiving Day.

All I can say is, there’s just nothing like a home field advantage!

Check it out for yourself. You won’t know whether to laugh or cry.

If I’m a Jet, I’m counting down the days ’til the next road game. Just sayin’!

Video: Shock-Jock Glenn Beck Puts Obama’s Image in … Pee Pee

/9 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, TheBlaze alerted readers to a new painting that depicts Barack Obama as Jesus Christ crucified, adorned with a crown of thorns. The work, entitled “Truth,” is part of a larger exhibit at the Bunker Hill Community College Art Gallery in Boston titled “Artists on the Stump – the Road to the White House 2012.” This, of course, is not the first controversial rendition that has been labeled “artwork,” nor is it the first time President Obama has been likened to Christ, or in general, God.

Now, the creator of “Truth,” Michael D’Antuono, said that his “First Amendment rights should override someone’s hurt feelings” and that “we should celebrate the fact that we live in a country where we are given the freedom to express ourselves.”

After receiving roughly 4,000 angry emails over the painting, D’Antuono also said he respects “their right to express themselves” and hopes they will afford him the same.

With this in mind, Glenn Beck chose to “express himself,” during his Tuesday evening broadcast by featuring a piece of artwork of his own creation.
