Laffer Endorses 9-9-9

Posted on October 14, 2011 by the prisoner

The Cain Train is gathering speed. While even I can see the beauty and simplicity of the 9-9-9 plan, our Party “leaders” don’t seem to fathom anything that makes things easier to understand.

So, in order to perhaps explain things a bit further, here is an example in easy to understand terms.

You have a currently priced $100.00 item. Under the 9-9-9 plan you would pay $109.00 for that item.

But wait. That $100.00 item currently has a bunch of taxes already built into it’s cost. Most things have been taxed long before they get to the store to the consumer. I’ll pull a number out of thin air here, lets call it 15% in unseen taxes and fees for regulatory compliance. So after eliminating the taxes at each step during manufacturing you have a product that will walk out the door priced at $85.00. Your tax portion of that is $7.65, leaving the cost of the item at $92.65, saving you $7.35.

Also, consider this: With a simplified tax code how many lawyers would we be able to put out of work? How many IRS workers can we put on the street and allow them to find real jobs? If nothing else, THAT’S a chance I’d be willing to take, and I think there will be many, many more in the coming weeks and months.

But HERE is the beauty of the 9-9-9 plan. If you want to  starve the government, you can.  Don’t want to give the Feds any dough? Buy a used car, not a new one. Used stuff won’t be taxed by the Fed. Clothes? work out a barter with your local tailor to revamp your wardrobe for cash.

What the so-called “smart guys” don’t seem to understand is that a tax on a business is a tax on the end user. Let me repeat that for the Occupy Maroons. A TAX ON A BUSINESS IS A TAX ON THE END USER.

Get it? A business is not going to lose profit on a item because of onerous taxes and Government regulations, they WILL pass that on to you.

But don’t take my word for it. Here’s what Art Laffer has to say about 9-9-9.

Also, Paul Ryan is on board with the 9-9-9, look here for the details.

Get on the Cain Train. Do not accept another RINO to represent your interests.

Be seeing you!!

Bullying? Bullshit!!

Posted on October 7, 2011 by the prisoner

I was driving home tonight from work, and listening to the news, same as always. Most of it was just regurgitation of stuff I was already up on, but then it took a turn for the worse. I found out that up to 100,000 kiddies, right here in Minnesota, home of “Minnesota Nice” were being bullied every day.
Horror of horrors! Oh Noes! What ever shall we do?
My first impulse was to reach through the radio and choke out whoever the hell thought that was news. My next thought was what in the hell was wrong with parents who have never learned how to deal with a bully, and if they did, why hadn’t they passed that on to their kids.
Then I had to fetch myself up sharply, and remember that we live in the age of pussification. The age of the metrosexual. The age of bromance.
The age that I am completely opposed to in every possible way.
I was watching Beck last week, (yep, I’m one of those people) and he brought forward the point that political correctness is the method that progs are using to suppress the truth about their plans and designs. And the antidote to this is to start speaking up, refuting the bullshit in plain, easy to understand English.
Let’s start with bullying, shall we?
Since the beginning of time, there have been those who seek to intimidate and frighten those who frighten them, be they afraid of their targets intellect, station in life or any of a thousand reasons. These people, male and female alike draw a sense of power, superiority and safety from their acts, never realizing that their quest can never be finished, and the opiate of fear from the others they harass will never be enough. When these people are young they are called bullies, and when they get older they are called assholes, sociopaths, and psychopaths, I’m sure you get the idea.
Back in the day, there were checks on behavior. They were brought by parents, relatives, neighbors and the staff at the schools. More often than not, others who had been given a sense of right and wrong within the peer group, stood up and gave the tormentors a lesson in the error of their ways.
But the real lessons to the bullies were delivered by the targets themselves. When they stood up and pushed back, it became clear to all involved that there WAS a point that would not be passed without retribution raining down.
I speak from some experience on this point, when I was in my junior high school days, I stepped up and put the smack down on a couple of these people, and it was fascinating to see how quickly they backed down when confronted.
THIS is what has been lost in the years since the boomers started reproducing. In a world where there is no right and wrong, where everyone gets a trophy and no one keeps score breeds a new strain of pussies that have been trained to whine, claim victimhood, and become litigious when they achieve adulthood (if you can call it that)
It’s time to cowboy up people. Time to call a spade a spade, and a hippie a hippie. Quit being browbeaten by the left. Argue with facts and logic. Don’t argue with emotion, that’s their game, and when they have to raise their voices, we have won the argument.
Remember, arguing with them is useless. Present your case, and let it lay out there for all to see. Don’t be slandered, stand up for what is right.
Be seeing you!!!!

Sometimes Getting A Bad Guy May Be Bad For All Of Us

Posted on October 1, 2011 by reactionaries

I was wondering why I wasn’t really comfortable when I heard about Al-Awlaki  and his buddy getting snuffed the other day. I originally passed it off to wondering why we always seem to get a bad guy when Beloved Leader’s approval rating are tanking. Along with Mullen stepping down from the Joint Chiefs, it seemed kind of convenient, if you know what I mean.

So I was catching up on yesterday’s RedEye, and I think my discomfort found a voice. Watch the clip, and listen to what Kevin Williamson has to say about this.

See what I mean? Did the asshat terrorists deserve what they got? Absolutely.

Did the Administration act in a lawful manner?   Absolutely. Not.

I would think that this has probably happened in many Administrations throughout the years, possibly as long as we have had those willing to act against their own Country. I am not so naive as to think there have not been black bag ops that have happened in the past.

But when you see the ease that Beloved Leader and his minions shred the Constitution on a whim, for the purposes that they do it for, you have to wonder if this is just a test to see if anyone is paying attention to the blatant disregard these people have for the Law of the Land. Or, this may be an attempt to set a precedent that will allow any citizen to be set up when they become a problem.

Chilling, is it not?

Signage I Can Get Behind

Posted on September 30, 2011 by the prisoner

Saw this this morning on Drudge, and pulled the snapshots off The Blaze

And the whiny little bitches are coming out in force, decrying a citizens right to free speech. Here’s a quote from The Blaze article.

“City Council Member Susan Guidry told New Orleans’ WWL-TV she’s concerned about public safety and is trying to figure out if the signs are even legal.

“We have to determine that there is a zoning law that prohibits perhaps the size of the sign, perhaps the way that it’s erected, that it is leaning over onto public property,” Guidry said. “Whatever we can use, we will, but of course, we do have to balance that with First Amendment rights.”

Which of course is bullshit, if these were anti-Bush signs there would be no outcry at all. Freedom of speech is just that, freedom of speech. I have to listen to scads of crap I don’t want to hear every day, but I don’t go crying to the Government to censor things I disagree with.

Update: here’s a video response from the owner of the signs, Timothy Reilly.

I was watching Fox and Friends this morning. While they were going crazy announcing that we snuffed that terrorist asshole Al-Awlaki (odd how we seem to snuff a bad guy when Beloved Leaders’s are tanking). Gretchen Carlson was asking why we haven’t banned all of Al-Awlaki’s videos from YouTube. It’s like this Gretchen, the 1st Amendment protects ALL forms of speech, even ones we don’t like. It doesn’t give you the right not to be offended. Get it? Gretchen, you are a fellow Minnesotan, and no doubt have been brainwashed by years of DNC propaganda, bit there is no excuse for fumbling that ball.

Be seeing you!!!

The Floater

Posted on September 27, 2011 by the prisoner

I can’t even begin to describe my rage and horror when I saw these articles come up today.

Go here, and here.

This, to quote Kyle from South Park “is some pretty fucked up shit right here.”

Here is the full quote:

“You have to have more ability from Congress, I think, to work together and to get over the partisan bickering and focus on fixing things. I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won’t hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that. The one good thing about Raleigh is that for so many years we worked across party lines. It’s a little bit more contentious now but it’s not impossible to try to do what’s right in this state. You want people who don’t worry about the next election.”

Well, Governor Perdue, if I were you I’d start worrying about being re-elected in North Carolina.

And to whoever fed her the lines (I’m looking at someone to the north and east of NC) I’ll tell you this:

IF something like this is EVER tried in this Country, THE PEOPLE will rise up as one, and take you out to the woodshed and teach you the error of your ways. It won’t be pretty, and the lesson may leave a mark.

Be seeing you!!!

Debate? What Debate?

Posted on September 23, 2011 by minneapolis mike

Watched the debate last night.

I prepped hard for it. Pulled out a 2 inch thick ribeye, injected it with secret marinade, and slow grilled it to a just turned to med rare state. Coarse ground salt and pepper to taste, splash of Lea and Perrins’, and you have a dinner fit for a hungry guy.

On to the debate, I had hope that the Fox panel would not be a bunch of douches like the two prior sets of moderators had been. And they weren’t for the most part. Where they, and everyone else has failed so far is to not let Perry and Romney dominate the debate.
It’s just pandering to the GOP establishment, and it’s bullshit.

This is the set up to the ordination of Romney as the candidate who is vanilla enough to not offend most voters, but still represents the base enough so we will hold our noses and pull the lever for him, like we did with McCain. That is old school thinking, and will be the death of the GOP. Not to mention it puts candidates like Santorum, Cain and Bachmann on the back burner waiting for their chance when and if the kingmakers deign they are ready for primetime.
Perry and Romney spent their time smacking each other around and ignoring the others on the stage, and that does not speak well of them, or the GOP brass.

On to the others on stage, (which are far more interesting to me, anyway).

Newt: Still dogging the moderators, and proving that anyone who would not include him in their Administration would be fools. He will not be the nominee, and rightly so for he is disconnected from the real world, and virtually unelectable given the current anti-establishment bent of the country.

Gary Johnson: A Libertarian, in the mold of Ron Paul, who has no chance of winning the nomination at this time.

Ron Paul: The Godfather of Libertarians, putting the flag out there, but his defense and foreign policy stands do not translate into viability for the nomination. We do owe Ron a debt of gratitude for bringing the tenets of Libertarianism into the mainstream, but often he is undermined by his rabid base of supporters.

Michelle Bachmann: The rookie in the crowd, and being plagued by rookie mistakes. Continuing to drag out the Gardisil play to whack on Perry is a non-starter. She does best when defining herself as an alternative to the same old RINO foisted on us by the power brokers in the GOP.

Jon Huntsman: I don’t know, this guy just strikes me as slime. Too slick, smarmy, and glib. Reminds me of a used car sales manager.

Rick Santorum: Coming on stronger as time passes. Would love to see him go one on one w/ Perry and Romney separately for an hour apiece.

Herman Cain: Herman continues to impress as the guy who gives answers to questions, not just general policy positions. Gets better every time he is up there. Out of the available candidates Herman is the outsider, and deserves equal time on the stage.

The Florida Report 9-8-11

Posted on September 8, 2011 by minneapolis mike

From @freetherepublic Tea Partier, and all around truth seeker.

Watch this more than once. Realize that we are winning the battle for hearts and minds.

We will own the GOP, and we cannot allow the old guard to foist yet another RINO on the country. We need the existing structure that the GOP has to further the cause of limited Government.

Watching the debate last night, I saw weakness and strengths shown by all the candidates.

My personal favorite, Herman Cain scored hard with the 9-9-9 plan, and was the clearest, solution oriented candidate on the stage.

John Huntsman was easily the most smarmy presence there. You felt like you were in a used car sales office listening to him speak.

Newt scored some good points against the moderators, refuting their barely veiled attempts toward getting the candidates to fight each other.

Mitt is triangulating towards the Tea Party, but seems like he will abandon us as soon as it’s no longer a factor in achieving victory.

Perry was easily the upstart owing to his remarks on Social Security and the Death Penalty in Texas.

Bachmann struggles to keep up, and will have trouble unless she can get more face time, and start engaging the big dogs, who have till this point even refused to acknowledge her presence on the stage. I fear she will be done soon.

Rick Santorum will be gone in short order unless he can find a way to push his way into the main crossfire.

Ron Paul, whose ideas that have been firmly out there for years, are finally taking hold in the general population is being dismissed out of hand as a serious contender. which is a shame. His ideas are timeless, and are just getting the publicity they are due. He will be unfortunately passed by because He has been branded unelectable by the GOP and the public at large. I think that Rand may be the best hope for the continuation of his ideals.

Props to gabeslaw for capturing this.

Allen West & Town Hall Heckler

Posted on September 3, 2011 by reactionaries

Props to @freetherepublic and nomoilleagals

Here’s the description:

” Some foul smelling loud mouth jerk didn’t like that the questions at the Allen West town hall were being read from cards. He didn’t believe that the questions were coming from the audience. When my question was read he wanted to know if I was really there. What a gift to be able to put him in his place. The crowd approved”
