Smear and Hyperbole are all the Dems have Left

Voter suppression!

“the largest legislative effort to scale back voting rights in a century.”

People who are too irresponsible to get proper identification, and people who are ineligible for it, vote overwhelmingly democrat.

 “A survey by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law found that 11 percent of citizens, 21 million people, do not have a current photo ID. That fraction increases to 15 percent of low-income voting-age citizens, 18 percent of young eligible voters and 25 percent of black eligible voters.” (NY Times – Republican Threat to Voting)

How in the hell do these people go about their daily lives?  
You can’t even rent a movie at blockbuster without a valid form of ID.  You certainly can’t get a legitimate job without it.  When I got my first civilian job after honorable service in the US military, I had to show up with a valid US passport to prove I was eligible to work in the United States.

That's Racist!
Can you believe it?  GOP state governments are so racist that they are passing laws requiring voters to actually present ID at the polls in order to vote!  What is this country coming to?  And to get this ID, they are required to present a birth certificate or naturalization paperwork proving they are an American citizen!  Imagine that!

“The Wisconsin bill refuses to recognize college photo ID cards, even if they are issued by a state university”

Oh no!  Diplomas are also issued by state universities, and we know how little the vast majority of those are worth.

The Democrat propagandists at the New York Times go on to breathlessly inform us…

“The Texas bill, so vital that Gov. Rick Perry declared it emergency legislation, would also reject student IDs, but would allow anyone with a handgun license to vote.”

Anyone with a brain can see the logic behind this.  Universities do not require source documentation such as a birth certificate or passport to issue their cheap little ID.  A Texas “handgun license” owner has had to prove residency and citizenship.  BTW, any non-felon can possess a weapon in Texas.  The license is for concealed carry, lest a reader think Texas has turned yellow belly sapsucker liberal while we weren’t looking.

My Plan to Prevent Voter Fraud

* Purge the voter rolls every two years

* To vote in a state you must possess a state drivers license or state ID card.  You can only get one of those if you present proof of citizenship (passport or birth certificate) and proof of state residency.

* No sidewalk registration by acorn thugs or voter advocacy groups.  If you want to register to vote you must present yourself to the county office every two years with your state-issued ID or drivers license in hand.

* No voting by mail except for military and US government employees stationed overseas

* You must present a valid state issued ID or drivers license at the polling place.  If something doesn’t match, you don’t vote

Electronic voting needs a complete overhaul, but that's a whole topic of its own.

The King's Speech

No, not the Hollywood movie, I'm talking about our philosopher king, Barack Obama.  Although his Alinskyite Marx-channeling did make me want to scream the F-word more than once.

His central theme? 

"From each according to their ability, to each according to their need"

Like almost everything out of this man's mouth, his speech was pure excreta.  He took bricks of leftist dogma, mortared them together with BS, and built a house of lies.

President Obama has racked up more publicly-held debt that all previous presidents combined, and he has the temerity to lecture us about fiscal responsibility, shaking his finger at Bush and Reagan.

Progressive America:  Brought to You by Lies & Propaganda
Obama repeated the lie that tax cuts increased the national debt.  As always, he is wrong.  Every time we cut taxes, the economy grew and actual taxes collected by the federal government increased.  Revenue is defined as the money the federal government takes in from taxes.

To refute the shameless lefty lies told to us by our president, here are the facts on taxes, revenues and economic growth

Tax Cuts Resulted in More Revenue
Contrary to the unhinged liberal propaganda, the data show that revenue did increase after the Reagan tax cuts and the Bush II tax cuts. The chart below is for the Reagan years and it shows the growth in constant 2005 dollars.  The same happened after the Bush tax cuts.   You can go here and run the numbers yourself.

The data plainly show that revenue increased after each tax cut, and GDP also kept climbing. So clearly, the culprit in all of this is the spending.

So Reagan and Bush tax cuts resulted in more tax money pouring into the government coffers.   Unfortunately, this goaded politicians on to even wilder spending orgies, resulting in the growth of the national debt.

The Liberal Lie
This is where the mischief comes in.  Liberals scream and point to the debt chart, ignoring the first chart showing the increase in revenue.  To them, this "proves" that tax cuts cause debt.  They have to leave out the fact that revenue increased and the economy grew in order to "prove" their lie.  That tax cuts caused the debt is patently and provably false.  Too much spending is what exploded the debt.

I defended John Boehner a few days ago, and I retract not one word.  I think he's a good man.  However, I now stand with the torches and pitchfork brigade. We need to cut trillions, not billions from the federal budget and the money needs to be returned to the people who earned it.  If the progressives insist on buying votes, they can do it with their own damned money.
