Burned By Government
Have you ever noticed…?

So, after spending all this money, so that you can go to work to make the money to buy and maintain the vehicle (and pay those other incidentals like rent and food), what do you have to do? Why,you’ve got to PAY THE GOVERNMENT! You’ve got to get all your “papers in order”just like all the good little citizens in all the movies about Nazi Germany, and the old Soviet Union, and Orwell’s 1984.

And this costs money, and more than that, it costs TIME. And, damned inconveniently, that’s not just time, but due to the scheduling of all the various government offices you have to go to to get these papers in order, they are usually only open during the time you are scheduled to be at work–so you’ve got to take off from work, which costs you more money. Add to this that the various offices usually give you the run-around, making you “hurry up and wait” and then sending you to a different office to get some other paper that you must have FIRST, but which, upon arriving, you find you cannot get without first completing a different form at yet another government office…and so on. It cost you even more time and money.

It’s the tax that keeps on taking — time, money, and attention.

Winchester Woman Denied Due Process Print
Wednesday, 17 October 2007
By Kat Kanning

*** begin quote ***

Lauren Canario of Winchester is being imprisoned in Hillsborough County Jail without due process of law. Those who are imprisoned in New Hampshire are supposed to be arraigned within 24 hours of being arrested. Judges at Milford County Courthouse denied Lauren arraignment and sent her back to jail when she exercised her right to remain silent during court proceedings. She has remained in jail for over two weeks without arraignment and without possibility of a trial and release.

We need to push the politicians and bureaucrats on this issue.

Gore: Universal Health Care a ‘Right’
Nobel Peace Prize winner posts video over weekend calling for health care as an American right.

“I strongly support universal single-payer government-provided or government-funded health care” droned a languid Gore in his video, now also listed under the title ‘Gore Goes SiCKO’ on Michael Moore’s Web site.

*** end quote ***

OK, so if I have a “right”, who has to pay? How was that obligation created? Did everyone agree?

Nope, it’s just more fuzzy thinking resulting in more theft and backed up by the gang members with guns!

It gets better. Despite its “respect” for the now-departed departed, the TSA decided to hunt his ashes down for further searching, as if screeners hadn’t already pestered him and his son with swabs and X-rays and other voo-doo. He should have been easy to spot, according to the Star: his son, who “wore a red shirt and pink hat” was “carr[ying] the ashes in a box inside a garbage bag.” Still, “airport officials could not find” this distinctive duo.

Ah, the efficiency of the police state. And the sour grapes, too: since they couldn’t locate these terrorists who’d taken such crafty care to camouflage themselves and draw no attention, they punished passengers by closing the terminal. “About 500 people were evacuated from Concourses B and C for more than an hour, and eight flights were delayed.” Naturally, the TSA searched these victims all over again before sending them on their way. Dead men not only hijack planes, they also pass liquids and gels to the living.

*** end quote ***

You can’t make this stuff up. And, you’re expecting these 8$/hour bozos to protect you from a terrorist? “barbara streisand”

No. If it wasn’t so serious, it would be laughable.

BUT, we are paying a huge price in time, money, and attention for this “security theater”.

Disband the TSA now. Return responsibility for security to the airlines. Sell off any airport and the ATC to the industry. Get the gooferment out of the airline biz!

Sigh!

THE RESURRECTION OF IMUS: RETURNS ON NATION’S TOP TALK STATION
Mon Oct 15 2007 07:52:30 ET

*** begin quote ***

In a dramatic and dazzling career rebound, controversial radio host Don Imus has secured a deal returning him to the airwaves on December 3 — this time on the nation’s most listened to talk station, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned!

*** and ***

The stunning comeback is a defeat for those who protested and picketed Imus earlier this year.

What a joke. I guess that all the theatrics with Hillary and Corzine were just for show.

Re: George Clooney’s adult legal drama Michael Clayton.

*** begin quote ***

Clooney plays the titular character, a ”fixer” for a big-league corporate law firm who is called in to clean up messes that can’t be resolved satisfactorily inside a courtroom. After one of the firm’s star attorneys, Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson), melts down during a deposition — he strips naked and runs after the plaintiff — Clayton is assigned to nurse Arthur back to fighting shape before the case goes to trial.

*** end quote ***

NOT RECOMMENDED!

While watching this I wondered in ADM was going to sue for defamation.

It had imho all the leftist clichés — evil lawyers, evil corporation, evil assassins, the good family farmers, the Irish cop, the Mafia loan shark, … … just to name a few off the top of my head.

Think Brocobitch without the boobs. Well come to think of it there were a lot of boobs in the audience like me who paid two sawbucks to see this muddle.

The fellow who melted down in the movie wasn’t the only one having psychotic breaks. Start at the middle, jump forward, jump back, turn around, jump to a conclusion, and destroy the evil doers.

Think Travolta in Civil Action. Think cookie cutter.

It wasn’t unpleasant to watch — but I didn’t get the connection to the kid’s book.

I don’t understand why he would stop and get out of the car. And, most horses I have known wouldn’t stand dead still side-by-side as something dressed in black approached them.

I don’t understand assassins, who were first portrayed as meticulous in the first murder, just be content to remotely detonate and call it a day. And, why switch modes of killing? I’m sure it’s an area of specialization. Plus don’t tasars leave marks. That’s what the other crime shows claim. (I get all my science from Law’n’Order.)

So it left a lot to be answered and hence a lot to be desired.

Verdict: Wasted $.

p.s., and the ice cream hadn’t been stored right and the bottom was melted. Sigh! Ahh for the movies of the Fifties, where the heroes wore white hats and the popcorn was fresh with real butter.

How You Benefit From Getting Involved

You may not live in Massachusetts. Many of our best supporters don’t.

If you live outside Massachusetts, you won’t get the direct benefit of not having to pay the state income tax.

Why should you get involved? Why should you donate money so that Massachusetts workers can end their Income Tax?

So you can make history. So you can be a vital part of “the Tax Revolution Heard ‘Round the World.”

It’s more than bragging rights. More than pride. It’s your chance to be part of the new American Revolution For Small Government.

There’s more.

California’s Proposition 13 inspired copycat Tax Limitation Ballot Initiatives in over a dozen states. From 1978 through the mid-1980’s, tax limitation fever swept the United States.

Term Limits Ballot Initiatives caught fire in the mid-1980’s. They burned bright for a half—dozen years.

Medical Marijuana Ballot Initiatives exploded into public attention in the mid-1990’s. Only the active resistance of the DEA and the Federal Government has kept a lid on them.

Ballot Initiatives against Eminent Domain swept America in 2006. More are on the way.

Imagine that our Massachusetts Ballot Initiative to End the Income Tax wins in 2008. Partly because you helped make it possible. Imagine inspiring and instigating copycat Ballot Initiatives to Repeal the Income Tax in 4 or 8 or 12 more states in 2010 and 2012.

You can help set this in motion.

*** end quote ***

Crazy Carla is on her high horse again tilting at the Income Tax windmill. If she could nuke it in Taxachusetts, then it could be the end of the income tax in America. What a strike at the root.

I sent a contribution; you should too if you hate the income tax as much as I do.

National Guard Troops Denied Benefits After Longest Deployment Of Iraq War

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (NBC) — When they came home from Iraq, 2,600 members of the Minnesota National Guard had been deployed longer than any other ground combat unit. The tour lasted 22 months and had been extended as part of President Bush’s surge.

1st Lt. Jon Anderson said he never expected to come home to this: A government refusing to pay education benefits he says he should have earned under the GI bill.

“It’s pretty much a slap in the face,” Anderson said. “I think it was a scheme to save money, personally. I think it was a leadership failure by the senior Washington leadership… once again failing the soldiers.”

Well when you deal in force, why are you surprised at anything?

We are like all empires in their final stages. We have grown soft. We like our comforts. We don’t wish to be inconvenienced. We like poor Mexicans to do our stoop work and poor Americans to do our fighting, provided they do it far away so we won’t be disturbed by explosions and screams. We enjoy our decadence, and there are always people in the media who can rationalize anything, no matter how sick and revolting it is.

As for trying to understand the world, we are just too busy being amused and following the adventures of Britney Spears and other celebrities. We like to let the TV and the politicians do our thinking for us. It saves energy. They tell us whom to hate.

The only way to avoid a bad end is to find some realists and put them in public office. We need a brave Congress, not a pack of cowards. We desperately need a president with a brain. We need to retire the warmongers in the foreign-policy establishment. Otherwise, we will join the other third-rate countries, once empires, on history’s discard pile.
