It should shock no one that Democrats in Massachusetts were leading a rally for union members, but the language from one elected official slid into questionable territory as told the cheering crowd: Congressman Capuano

“I’m proud to be here with people who understand that it’s more than just sending an email to get you going. Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary.”

via Dem Rep Tells Union Members: ‘You Need to Get a Little Bloody When Necessary’ | The Blaze.

(Where is the call against hateful rhetoric. Oh the humanity! Read about it at The BLAZE. This Congressman owes his constituents and the people of this country an apology for his tasteless, violent, and hateful rhetoric. I’m just saying… )

Wisconsin state senators who miss two or more session days will no longer get paid through direct deposit. They’ll have to pick up their checks in person on the Senate floor during a session.

(This is a good thing. Now voters in Michigan are you going to hold these “law makers” accountable?)

Wait a minute. Someone tell Pelosi there is a lefty wearing a na-i uniform at a rally and see what she says. Do as I say not as I do. Hmmmmmmm.

The left tried to shut down the Pledge and then the debate.

I heard Mr. Lollar speak at the Solomons Tea party event. He impressed me then as the man could

A new Day for Maryland - Charles Lollar for Congress

put Steny Hoyer behind us. Hoyer showed his true colors when he blindly followed the rest of his party down the road of reckless spending and economic endangerment. Charles Lollar will return honor to the Fifth Congressional District. He is an honorable man. Charles Lollar has MY vote this November.

Charles Lollar understand military issues so he will more than adequately represent Southern Maryland’s interest in the jobs the military brings to our area. The incumbent’s media blitz is focused on keeping Maryland’s military related jobs.  Charles Lollar served our country in the United States marines. He can do the job far better than the incumbent ever has.

Before you even think about a “safe” vote for the incumbent take the time to get to know Charles Lollar. Visit his website. Talk to others about him.  The incumbent and his party drove us to recession over many years. Hoyer cannot talk about anything else because bragging about how you have endangered the country probably isn’t a good idea.

I recommend a vote for Charles Lollar to restore Maryland and our Congress.

And in 1950, a young senator from Wisconsin, Joseph McCarthy, seeking political gain, began a well-publicized campaign using smear tactics, bullying and innuendo to identify and purge communists and “fellow travelers” in government. Herb Block recognized the danger to civil liberties posed by such activities and warned of them in his work.

via “Fire!” Herblock’s History: Political Cartoons from the Crash to the Millennium, Library of Congress Exhibition.

(Read this Herb Lock article from our own Library of Congress and determine for yourself if it disgusts you as much as it did me. The presentation is as much propaganda as were Lock’s uniformed portrayals of American patriots. It is disturbing, VERY DISTURBING that a U.S. Government agency can actually publish work like this. (Publishing from a historical perspective is one thing, but advocating the view of the left-leaning fringe is quite another.) There WERE communists in our government. Those standing out against the exposures of such individuals were often doing so for political gain of their own or flat out LIED. Tyndall himself, McCarthy’s greatest detractor, is exposed as a liar, political opportunist, and certainly not a patriot as he is in this propaganda at the Library of Congress.

Read Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s Enemies. This scholarly book is FULL of facts, official documents, arrest information, and a time line of important events that led up to McCarthy’s comparatively small role in what was an on-going effort to rid communists from our government, in particular our own State Department, since the 1930′s. Read how communist sympathizers and members sympathized and supported communist China and the Soviet Union. It frightened me to understand that people in our government worked so hard to further socialist agendas at the expense of all US citizens.

Great deal on Amazon: ‘Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe M…’ by M. Stanton Evans (Paperback… http://amzn.to/cD9Gtz

When you read this book and then read the contents of the Library of Congress page you find yourself in an incredulous state. How could a writer at the Library of Congress be so vacuous and uninformed? Only if they actually sided with Tyndall, the socialists, and I shudder to think, the communists.)

Former Maryland governor Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R) will not raise taxes if returned to office — and has no plans to raise fees either, he said Wednesday.

via Maryland Politics – Ehrlich pledges no tax increases — or fee hikes.

(We should be very wary, because our property taxes went way up under this governor. My fear is that he could be a Republican progressive who says one thing and does another. SPENDING in Marylanad needs to be brought under control and the BUISSNESS economic environment has to change in order to put people to work. Our state is in trouble. We do not need more of the Democrat control in Annapolis or progressivism in ANY party.)

A vice president for one of the nation's biggest banks claims customers looking for help in lowering their mortgage payments are often told to call an 800 number — where he says representatives then give homeowners the runaround.

via Saving the Middle Class: Whistle-Blower Says Banks Not Helping Americans Modify Mortgages – ABC News.

(The behavior described in detail in this ABC News story is consistent with my own opinion of banks and credit card companies. We, the tax payers, gave these ungrateful thieves our hard earned cash to bail out the bad mortgages that should never have been issued in the first place. Real people with real loans who could afford them at the time lost their jobs through no fault of their own. Now the banks and credit industries are determined to ruin them when a program and more taxpayer funds were allocated to save these people. I think it is time we recognized the industry is amoral.)

The State of Maryland’s main money man, Controller Peter Franchot, one of the tax and spend, fiscally-irresponsible Democrats is suddenly getting tough on tax scofflaws. More likely it is political opportunism and a desperate attempt to distance himself from O’Malley’s Raiders in the legislature. Franchot lent his support to the Internet tax bill and has done nothing to warn against the out-of-control spending in Annapolis that has gotten Maryland into the mess it is now in.  They didn’t use the so-called stimulus to preserve the state’s finances they squandered it. Now the Dems have decided they need to go after tax scofflaws? How interesting. Franchot should be doing this anyway. Why has he taken so long?

Franchot says in a recent campaign email, “My office is committed to ensuring that everyone pays their fair share, especially in these difficult economic times.”  Marylanders have been paying their fare share of new outrageous taxes since O’Malley was elected and Franchot has helped the agenda along the way. They are out of money and need more NOW. It’s like an addiction to these people.

I’m sorry, I don’t like tax cheats either but progressives much farther down the food chain. We need to vote the fiscally irresponsible scofflaws out of office this year. Franchot’s behavior speaks volumes. Use your vote and remove him from office.

A proposal to tax certain online sales in Maryland has drawn the wrath of some Internet retailers and business organizations, while attracting support from Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. and Comptroller Peter V.R. Franchot.

via Internet sales tax gathers steam.

Welcome to Maryland Amazon.com.

The fiscally irresponsible, State Senator Mike Miller and State Controller Peter Franchot are after MORE of your hard earned cash.  These men have spent from Maryland coffers like there is no tomorrow. Property taxes have increased astronomically, our sales tax has gone up, and business has fled the state. O’Malley’s raiders cannot help themselves. Now they are after the Internet.

Today in Annapolis (source @mdchamber) the Maryland State Senate Budget Committee is considering what is called the “Amazon Tax” bill. It caught my eye because I am an Amazon Affiliate.  Since the late 90′s I have had small bookstores at my various websites. I eek out a small income from participation in these programs. Now the Senate wants to charge sales tax to Amazon customers because there are Maryland affiliates.. n. All to obtain what the State believes is about $7 million a year in revenue.

Democrats never stop taxing and spending. O’Malley and his cronies have worked very hard to take more and spend more. As business has fled and people hoard what little cash they have the Democrats have looked for new ways to get at our savings and tax our spending. We wouldn’t be here now if we had a fiscally responsible State legislature.

Both Mike Miller and Peter Franchot are up for re-election in 2010. It is high time we say farewell to these two ‘not-so-public” servants and put the business back in Maryland.

As a result of this Amazon Tax Bill I will lose my Amazon affiliation so that Amazon can continue to offer its superior products and customer service to Maryland customers. It cannot afford to have agents in this state if that means they have to gear up to send the State of Maryland their cut of each sale. I do not fault Amazon. Someone has to stand up to the social progressives in Annapolis.

How much longer are the tax payers of Maryland going to allow elected representatives to be spendthrifts and taxaholics?  When are we going to make our state business friendly? When are we going to stop building multi-million dollar schools, libraries, and swimming centers during depressions? Our political leaders have gotten us into this mess and over-taxing us their only way out. Enough already!

Join with me at election time. Vote Ron Miller for State Senate. Say farewell to Mile Miller. Say farewell to Peter Franchot as well. Speak with your vote!

Old Line Elephant: 2010 GOP Hopefuls: Carmen Amedori. Let’s give Carmen our support this election year and boot Mikulski out of office.

Gateway Pundit.

According to this Gallup Poll story at gateway Pundit most Democrats like socialism and perhaps hence the support for Obamacare, out of control spending, and a pathological need to redistribute wealth.

What caused this to happen? Socialism has failed miserable everywhere yet people don’t understand why?

Gateway Pundit.

In case you missed in last night’s news broadcasts, take a look at the mocking Gibbs gave Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Movement. I remain completely flabbergasted that someone in his position would act with such a lack of maturity and reason.

Michelle Malkin wrote: in her lead story for 2/5/10 an excellent analysis and expose on our current administration paying 2.5 million tax-payer dollars to advertise about the census during the Super Bowl.  That’s it I have had enough. I am going to read a good book instead. Michelle’s article is excellent. I encourage everyone to read it.

“Highly informed sources on Capitol Hill have revealed to me details of the Democratic plan to sneak Obamacare through Congress, despite collapsing public approval for healthcare “reform” and disintegrating congressional support in the wake of Republican Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts.”

Please read this. Progressives in Washington are planning to shove this down our throats and Dick knows how it is to be done. When I read this I was aghast that any politician would have the nerve to subvert the legislative process. I subscribe to Dick’s regular emails at DickMorris.com and usually find them very insightful.

Sarah Palin’s maligner-in-chief, the trash mouth of CBS, has a dark closet of his own. Really!> Late Night Bombshell? You bet. No applause or support here.

News clips on Fox show Letterman defining his deviancy down. Just like the Democrats he has always supported.

City puts large sign in front of church booths and Tea Party booth at 4 th of July Celebration blocking and sequestering the groups away from other activity. Sign infers the groups are hostile and that the city was forced to give them space or be sued. This is a pathetic and childish political tactic that I hope the citizens of Pt. St. Lucie are going to keep in mind when elections roll around. The city did its very best to marginalize religion and differing political views.
