1) While I think most of us conservatives differ tremendously with our socialist (democrats) counterparts, it is important to pass on great quotes or statements concerning the liberals ability to not be able to see the forest for the trees. We begin with a great quote from The Heritage Foundation's economist J.D. Foster, when he says this about the democrats:
“They propose higher tobacco taxes to discourage smoking. They propose higher taxes on liquor to discourage drinking. They propose vastly higher taxes through cap-and-trade contraptions to reduce carbon emissions. So what do they expect will happen when they raise income tax rates?”
Having said all of that, The Patriot Post covers the news concerning our democratically controlled houses of Congress with this:
"Democrats in the House and Senate passed the $3.1-trillion 2009 budget plan this week, a nonbinding resolution, as they patted themselves on the back for their fiscal responsibility. Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-ND) boasted that the budget plan would “strengthen the economy and create jobs. It will provide tax cuts for the middle class, and it will restore fiscal responsibility by balancing the books by 2012 and maintaining balance in 2013.” The fine print reveals the secret to this promise. The plan assumes that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will cost nothing after next year. It also anticipates that the Bush tax cuts will expire by 2011. In other words, Democrats are about to hit Americans with the largest tax hike in history. And that doesn’t include the Alternative Minimum Tax, which Democrats continue to ignore as it prepares to hit more than 20 million middle-class families."
2) I feel it important once again to draw attention to the fact we are destroying Al Qaeda around the world. But in spite of the many accomplishments of our wonderful men and women in our Armed Forces, Nancy Pelosi had the unbelievable gall to utter the following:
“Whatever the military success, and progress that may have been made, the surge didn’t accomplish its goal, and some of the success of the surge is the good will of the Iranians—they decided in Basra when the fighting would end, they negotiated that cessation of hostilities—the Iranians.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
3) In another show of weakness and appeasement, Great Britain refused to stand up for its culture and Christian heritage by telling two Christian evangelicals to stop handing out leaflets in a Muslim neighborhood or face the threat of being beat up. Now here is where the story gets confusing because British authorities seem to be saying they are not willing to get involved should the Christians get attacked by Muslims. In fact, it almost sounds as if they are saying they would deserve the attack. Am I wrong or is this appeasement?
