Obama Vs Romney, What This Election Means For Investors, Companies do not pay taxes consumers do, Obama taxing and spending has ruined economy

“We tried our plan—and it worked. That’s the difference. That’s the choice in this election. That’s why I’m running for a second term.”…Barack Obama

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right. The obvious, the silly, and the true had got to be defended. Truisms are true, hold on to that! The solid world exists, its laws do not change. Stones are hard, water is wet, objects unsupported fall towards the earth’s centre. With the feeling that he was speaking to O’Brien, and also that he was setting forth an important axiom, he wrote:

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.”…George Orwell, “1984″

“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed
–if all records told the same tale–then the lie passed into
history and became truth. “Who controls the past,” ran the
Party slogan, “controls the future: who controls the present
controls the past.”…George Orwell, “1984″

Here is your assignment:

For all the clueless, Obot, left wing, liberal friends in your sphere of influence.

Explain to them simply that companies, corporations, do not pay taxes. Consumers do.

Explain to them that the profit margin for oil companies is one of the lowest and not guaranteed.

Ask them if they drive a car.

Then ask them if they want to continue driving and eat. Remind them that high gas prices affect the price of many goods and services.

Intelligent people want the oil companies to succeed and make a profit.

“Obama Vs. Romney: What This Election Means For Investors”

“Campaign season is in full swing, and by tapping Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate, Republican candidate Mitt Romney has made clear that his campaign will try to hit President Obama where he appears weakest: on the economy and the need for drastic fiscal reform.

For voters, the tepid recovery and high unemployment rate will be points of focus in the two months and change before Election Day Nov. 6, but for investors of every stripe – from those managing retirement portfolios to amateur stockpickers – there are plenty of differences between the candidates that are worth diving into.

That was what struck Tim Steffen, director of financial planning in Robert W. Baird’s wealth management business, and it’s why he put together a handy guide explaining where each candidate stands on issues ranging from income taxes and health care to just how big a cut Uncle Sam will take out of dividends and capital gains.

The latter points are critical for investors, and Steffen explains that the dividend debate will be particularly interesting to watch. Many investors play the income game by purchasing shares of companies that deliver profits back to shareholders in the form of dividends.

President Barack Obama has proposed raising taxes on dividend income for Americans that make more than $200,000 per year ($250,000 for couples), and keeping the current rates steady (0% on qualified dividends and 15% on carried interest) for those below that threshold.

Republican challenger Mitt Romney would maintain the current rates for those making more than $200,000 annually, and completely eliminate taxes on capital gains, dividends and interest income for any taxpayer with less than that in adjusted gross income.

“Dividends are a big [issue], both on the tax rates and what will happen to companies’ willingness to pay,” Steffen says. If the tax rate changes, some worry fewer companies will follow the lead of those like Apple, which initiated a quarterly dividend this year, or Cisco Systems, which recently hiked its payout by 75%, opting instead to buy back shares. “It’s a concern,” Steffen adds.

He argues that Obama’s plan would increase the cost to all taxpayers on investment income, and triple dividend taxes, but notes that there are likely to be differences between what the president proposes and what ultimately gets through Congress. For instance, the proposal to treat dividends as ordinary income has met resistance in a Senate bill passed that would call to raise such rate to just 20% on higher-income taxpayers, well short of the

While tax issues in the campaign may not be at the fore yet, Steffen believes they will crystallize if no action is taken by a lame duck Congress to extend the Bush tax cuts in some form. Americans will start to see bigger withholdings taken out of their paychecks, he says. “When that happens, people start noticing.”

Corporate taxes are another battleground for Obama and Romney. The President has said that the fat profits of oil giants like Exxon Mobil and Chevron warrant the elimination of subsidies for such companies, and would attempt to lower the overall corporate rate by eliminating many deductions. Romney would seek to drop the corporate rate and cease taxing corporations on income earned overseas, which some argue would eliminate the quandary posed by foreign profits being locked up abroad.”

Capital is the engine of this economy and that is mostly money invested by small investors like the little old lady down the street depending on dividends for retirement income.

Raising taxes cripples the economy, as any lucid person has noticed and kills job growth.

Obama has stated:

“And when the price of oil goes up, prices at the pump go up, and so do these companies’ profits,”
“Meanwhile, these companies pay a lower tax rate than most other companies on their investments — partly because we’re giving them billions in tax giveaways every year.”

From Citizen Wells April 3, 2012.

“Let’s begin with profits.

Combined, US oil companies are huge and employ millions of employees. Of course their profits will be large numbers.

Also, we want them to make a profit so that they can keep the gasoline and other petroleum products flowing and people working. If they fail, so does our economy.

And how big are the oil company profits?

Net profit margins:

Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing 3.00 %

Oil & Gas Pipelines 6.00 %

Compare these profit margins to other industries.

http://biz.yahoo.com/p/sum_qpmd.html

What about taxes?

First, the corporate tax rate in the US is near or at the top in the world.

US oil companies pay enormous amounts of taxes. How does this compare to one of Obama’s pay to play buddies GE? Check this out for yourself.

Here is the really important point about raising taxes on oil companies and other companies.

Companies (corporations, LLC’s, partnerships, sole proprietors) do not paytaxes!

Consumers pay for the tax increases.

Taxes are part of the cost of doing business.

A tax increase to a company results in some combination of the following:

Product and service price increases.

Employee and hours cutbacks.

Reduced hiring.

Does any of this sound familiar?

The Obama administration has been responsible for rising gas prices and they are now trying to raise them more.

Of course this has impacted food prices and jobs.

Sound familiar?”

    Palin: Third Party Candidate an Option in Mo. Senate Race

    http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Palin-Akin-Steelman-Missouri/2012/08/22/id/449340

    Calling Missouri “a must win state” for Republicans this year, Sarah Palin is pushing for a third party candidate to enter the Senate race if embattled GOP nominee Todd Akin continues to insist on staying in.

    “You got to know when to hold ’em and when to fold ’em,” Palin said of Akin, describing the Missouri congressman as a principled, pro-life candidate who now has no chance of beating incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill because of his controversial comments about rape.

    Palin told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren Tuesday night that her pick to replace Akin would be former Missouri State Treasurer Sarah Steelman, the candidate she backed in the Republican primary against him.

    She suggested Steelman could still enter the race as a third party candidate, running on the slogan she introduced in the primary, “The status quo has got to go.”

    “I won’t gloat about it, but I was right,” the former Alaska governor said, referring to her backing of Steelman over Akin. “And Sarah Steelman’s supporters and campaign staff, we were all right in knowing that Sarah Steelman is the right person for the job to represent Missouri and to allow common-sense conservatives to take back the Senate.”

    Observer,

    🙂 No worries and no apology is ever needed. I post many duplicates as well, especially when it’s a hot topic. The more – the better chance of being seen by others. That’s the way I see it.

    Kudo’s to you.

  22. Hi, all. If you haven seen the movie, 2016, by all means do. It is really on a high level. It is matter of fact, detached and simply goes by the available information. In one way it provides a way for Obama’s defeat with dignity–accepting that post-colonial Marxist ideas don’t work and time for him to step down. It gives the largest possible benefit of the doubt to good intentions that simply don’t work.

    The problem is, the extreme Left lacks maturity as well as common sense. So, seeing the inevitable defeat at the voting booth, the disruptions as possibly planned may become a reality. There could be blood in the streets. And a national crisis provoked in some manner.

    The film, however, pulls no punches and is a real eye opener. It even gives one a certain amount sympathy for Obama in exposing his wrong-headed views. He is, afterall, a human being. It brings him down to size and instead of seeing him as a larger-than-life celebrity that must be feared and opposed, he is portrafyed as a fellow American of mixed background who was seduced by post-colonialism Marxist ideology.

  23. Observer,

    Unless it’s Ron Paul still have a chance for being elected as President, then no, multiple posting of that is simply irritating. So I guess I have a single limit on multiple postings… LOL… 🙂

    All else is necessary and realistic.

  24. After writing the above, I feel inclined to add, I know there is a darker side to all of this–a conspiratorial and evil side. But sometimes it may be better to leave the snakes in the snake pit and deal with what we can. I suppose it depends on how gracefully the Left will be willing to accept defeat. One of the unintended consequences of the film 2016 may be to cause the Left to see they are going to lose at the ballot box in a big way come this November.

  25. From time to time I read elsewhere that some patriots feel that the military (top brass) are going to step in and do something about zero. It is obvious that they are in the tank with him.

    Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Martin E. Dempsey, scolded veterans over anti-obama documentary

    Here is what he said, “Anti-Obama comments are not useful”

    “And one of the things that marks us as a profession in a democracy, in our form of democracy, that’s most important is that we remain apolitical.” “That’s how we maintain our bond and trust with the American people” the general said.

    What did Obama say?
    Obama said he doesn’t pay much attention to the attacks. “I don’t take these folks too seriously,” the president said. “One of their members is a birther who denies I was born here, despite evidence to the contrary. You’ve got another who was a tea party candidate in a recent election. This kind of stuff springs up before election time.”

    Bill Warner is a private investigator who tracks and researches radical groups all over the world. He says the stockpile is a sign of trouble ahead.

    “These are tactics terrorists use in the Middle East. They will hide bricks in piles in buildings and so forth. They will move into the area start their little protests. Then they will find their pile of bricks and pipes and start busting out windows,” Warner said.

    Castor said what’s most important is making sure none of the items is used to harm anyone during the RNC.

    For months, FOX 13 has been reporting about the Black Bloc, an anarchist group that causes chaos and havoc around the world. The FBI has labeled them domestic terrorists who are against government, corporate America, and law enforcement.

    Recently cyber hackers known as Anonymous sent out a call to action for Black Blockers to unite at the RNC. Their message to Chief Castor and the media was simple: they’re coming to Tampa to fight for what they say are their rights.

  27. Cabby,

    I fully agree with your comments. Now that General Petraeus is Head of the C.I.A., are we the people to “assume” such an intelligent person is beholden to pure ignorance? That’s a hell of a horse pill to swallow. And if we are to swallow such sizable horse pill – without water to wash it down – how does anyone reasonably analyze that the Military is on the side of the American people?

    Quite an asinine thought for me, which is why I agree with your comments.

    Yes, General Petraeus, head of the CIA, is “in on it”, too. If for nothing else, these people have their military careers and subsequent pensions at stake. Most, unfortunately, will do or say anything to protect their future.

    After reading what may be planned for Tampa by rabble rousers doing the bidding of the W.H., I am persuaded that next week is going to be a pivotal point. We need to pray as we never have before. It is impossible for us to predict the outcome. “Watch and pray” is the admonition. (notice the sequence)

  30. Cabby,

    As you know me, I am not the kind of person that can watch and pray. One of the many great warriors (which I named one of my children after) was Joshua. As Joshua believed, don’t ever be afraid or discouraged, be brave.

    Joshua neither deviated nor wavered in battles, Jericho being the most well known. Unfortunately, we have not a single leader in Congress willing to step up to any issue, little lone a battle. Prayer alone, is never enough (in my opinion) as it also takes action of great leaders [or individuals] through such prayers to enact a plan and move forward.

    Without such, one just might as well wonder in the desert for the next 40 years and stay there.

    Thanks for the link re. Dempsey. No wonder he is such a lap dog for zero.

    William,
    I hear you when it comes to “action”. There is a time for that and there is also a time for “watch and pray”, no offense intended. That is what Jesus told his disciples on the eve of His crucifixion. He found them sleeping when he returned to them after praying alone in the garden of Gethsemane. Again, He told His disciples previously to “Take heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.” (Mark 13:33) “Watching” does not mean a passive activity but rather “being alert and discerning”.

    If there had been more of that type of watching throughout the last five decades, or more, we wouldn’t be where we are today. The enemy has sown tares while good men slept.

    Lawrence Sellin:

    “An Obama Victory Depends On Republican Dishonesty And Cowardice”

    “Exposing the full truth about Obama’s personal history would immediately end his political career.

    Despite the grave consequences of an Obama victory as they themselves describe, it is not clear whether the Republicans will fully vet Obama before the election or continue to hide their own dereliction of duty and complicity in concealing the truth.

    Like the Democrats, the Republicans know that revealing the truth about Obama will upset the corrupt status-quo and terminate their iron grip on political power. It is the same reason that both Republicans and Democrats hate the Tea Party because it is composed of ordinary Americans trying to take back control of their government.

    Like the Democrats, the Republicans care less about the Constitution and the well-being of the American people than they do about winning elections and obtaining the power and financial rewards victory brings to them and their supporters.”

  41. CitizenWells,
    We Agee on principle and substance about the economic woes that have been evolving from the liberal idiology. Strickly speaking, the economic health of the united states best correlates to energy consumption, as does quality of life for Americans. This basic premise holds true for virtually all industrialized countries. Obama, and the watermelons (green on the outside and red in the middle) have been exploring a no energy policy for the US. Specifically the are anti coal, natural gas, domestic oil, and nuclear, which accounts for likely 90%+ of US energy domestic consumption. This is a formula for economic failure alone. Thus, no energy means no economic health.

    I find quite interesting that most left wing nuts propose cutting fossil fuels to diminish carbon dioxide emissions, which they blame for global warming. Therefore, you would believe that a environmentally conscious patriotic POTUS would be against fossil fuels worldwide, but be for increasing US energy production. Obama has been against US energy in all reliable forms, but has been pro oil production in other counties and silent on China’s use of coal. He even used stimulus money to fund Soros drilling in Brazil for oil, and to Russia he gave away US territory for Russian drilling! Indeed, the plan has not been to decrease worldwide carbon dioxide production, but just to curtail US energy availability.

    If actions speak louder than words, then Obama’s actions are clearly about harming American economy and destroying domestic quality of life, not about environment or global warming protection. That defines his time in office and should be a clear warning to both political parties about why the should vote for Romney.

    Wednesday, January 21, 2009

    “The sickest irony amidst the euphoria of the inauguration of America’s first black President is that one of Obama’s very first actions in office will be to ensure that millions more black babies are aborted in third world countries, with American taxpayers picking up the tab.

    Obama’s first act of “change” will be to issue an executive order that will lift a ban on using taxpayer money to fund international “family planning” groups who counsel women and perform abortions around the world, but mainly in Africa.

    Fresh from his complete disregard of Israel’s barbarian bombardment of Gaza, an onslaught that has killed around 400 children, Obama will ensure that potentially millions more never even get the chance of life in the first place.

    Obama will reverse the so-called Mexico City policy, the federal rule prohibiting aid to family planning groups which was instituted by Ronald Reagan in 1984. The policy does not apply to abortions carried out in cases of rape, incest, or life-threatening conditions. Obama’s executive order will pass almost exactly 36 years to the day since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision which legalized abortion.

    Abortion groups that will enjoy a fresh injection of American taxpayers’ money will include the Family Guidance Association of Ethiopia and the Planned Parenthood Association of Zambia.

    The executive order will also precede a likely decison by Obama to once again release funds for the UNFPA, a United Nations organization that supports China’s policy of forced abortion. <====

    “Obama’s repeal of the abortion aid policy is one of several executive actions that he will take soon after his inauguration today, according to several Obama transition aides. He is also considering lifting Bush administration restrictions on federally funded stem cell research,” reports the Hartford Courant.

    Stem cell research has attracted vociferous opposition from anti-abortion groups because many of the treatments in the field use cells from aborted babies. The Catholic Church in Scotland this week called the procedure “immoral and unethical,” especially in light of the fact that stem cells from adult donations can be used instead.

    Federally funded global abortions as a method of population control has been an obsession of elites and eugenicists throughout history."

    “One of the pioneers of family planning and the woman who opened the first birth control clinic in Britain, Marie Stopes, was a racist and an anti-Semite who campaigned for selective breeding to achieve racial purity, a passion she shared with Adolf Hitler in adoring letters and poems that she sent the leader of the Third Reich.

    The feminist also attended the Nazi congress on population science in Berlin in 1935, while calling for the “compulsory sterilisation of the diseased, drunkards, or simply those of bad character.” Stopes acted on her appalling theories by concentrating her abortion clinics in poor areas so as to reduce the birth rate of the lower classes.

    Stopes left most of her estate to the Eugenics Society, an organization that shared her passion for racial purity and still exists today under the new name The Galton Institute. The society has included members such as Charles Galton Darwin (grandson of the evolutionist) , Julian Huxley and Margaret Sanger.

    Ominously, The Galton Institute website promotes its support and funding initiative for “the practical delivery of family planning facilities, especially in developing countries.” In other words, the same organization that once advocated sterilizing black people to achieve racial purity in the same vein as the Nazis is now bankrolling abortions of black babies in the third world.

    With Obama’s [illegal] executive order to release taxpayer money to fund abortions of black babies in Africa, he is signaling his firm intention to act in the interests of the ancestors of the Hitlerian eugenicist movement who now control the family planning groups.

    A lot has been made of the ideals of Martin Luther King in light of the inauguration of the first black President. What would the legendary civil rights campaigner have thought of Obama’s action to ensure funding for the abortion of black babies? Here’s what his niece, Dr. Alveda King had to say about the matter at a conference last August.

    “The great irony,” she said, “is that abortion has done what the Klan only dreamed of.”

    King stated that the killing of a quarter of the black population of the US has not been from the lynch mobs of her childhood days, but from abortionists, “who plant their killing centers in minority neighborhoods and prey upon women who think they have no hope.”

    Obama’s first action as President will ensure that those “killing centers” across the [USA and internationally around the] world will now be empowered with fresh capital [of billions of USA taxpayer’s dollars yearly] to abort more black babies while the new President grandstands as a messiah for the poor and oppressed black race.”

    ===> “An investigation by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), into the Obama Administration’s use of $18 million in taxpayer funds to provide funding for a group pushing legalized abortion in Kenya finds the administration broke the law. The investigation by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the investigative arm of Congress, shows at least one Obama grantee openly pushed to expand abortion in Kenya despite a long-standing, annually renewed law that prohibits U.S. tax dollars from being used to lobby for or against abortion in other countries (known as the Siljander Amendment). The GAO report also reveals that a key Obama official stonewalled investigators and refused to cooperate with the GAO in its investigation of the activities initiated by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the State Department during the 2010 constitutional referendum in Kenya. “The Obama Administration basically hired surrogates to do its dirty work of abortion promotion in Kenya,” said Congressman Chris Smith, a New Jersey Republican who is the chairman of the House Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health and Human Rights. “U.S. policy on international constitutional reform is, by law, supposed to be abortion-neutral” Smith said. “This new report shows that at a minimum the Obama Administration ignored the prohibition with the end result being a new Kenyan constitution that vastly expands access to abortion in Kenya, courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer.”
    A prior USAID report indicates the Obama administration spent $61.2 million related to the vote on the Kenya constitution, with $12.6 million going to efforts to directly promote the pro-abortion constitution.
    <===

    The GAO indicates that the IDLO provided advice “on the issues of fetal rights and abortion, though the draft had not mentioned either issue at this point. Specifically, the IDLO report advised that the COE might consider adding language to make clear that the fetus lacks constitutional standing, and that the rights of women under these articles therefore take priority. IDLO also provided examples of countries whose courts have held that fetal rights to life serve as a partial barrier to the ability of national legislatures to protect… the legal right of access to abortion.”

    In its report, GAO also quoted IDLO as advising the Kenyans that “[I]n the coming years, the Kenyan Parliament may wish to take such measures. One way to handle this would be to modify [the constitution] to make clear that a person is a human being who has been born.”

    “The IDLO communications to the Kenyans introduced the abortion issue into the constitutional debate, ‘advised’ the Kenyans to include language in the constitution that clearly supported the legalization of abortion, and expressed opposition to later proposed language that would have restricted access to abortion,” Smith explained. “If this isn’t lobbying, what is?”

    “With regard to the stonewalling by the Obama Administration official, Smith said “It actually comes as little surprise that Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs, Maria Otero, ignored repeated requests from the GAO to question her regarding her activities in Kenya.”

    GAO informed Smith’s office that Otero failed to respond to multiple requests for meetings.

    Otero, whose portfolio includes population issues, traveled to Kenya from November 29 to December 2, 2010 in her official capacity, and met with Prime Minister Odinga, senior government officials and civil society representatives. She previously traveled in Kenya with Ms. Phoebe Asyio, a commissioner on the Constitution of Kenya Review Commission and chair of the Kenyan Caucus for Women’s Leadership (CWL), who advocated for and later lauded the legalization of abortion in Kenya as a result of the new constitution.

    “In light of the law, Otero’s activities raise serious questions that she apparently did not want to answer,” Smith said.

    Political reform in Kenya was – and continues to be – an extremely important undertaking in light of the 2007 violence that claimed approximately 1, 300 lives and displaced tens of thousands more in that country.

    “There are justifiable concerns that the deadly upheaval could be repeated with the elections in 2012 unless dramatic reforms are in place,” Smith noted. “However, this needed reform should not be used by pro-abortion groups funded by the Obama Administration to rewrite the pro-life laws of Kenya.”

    Smith noted that even after its clear violation of the lobbying prohibition, the IDLO continues to receive U.S. funding to play a central role in the drafting of laws implementing the new constitution.

    “As the GAO points out, it is likely that several other countries will be amending or creating new constitutions in the foreseeable future, and this U.S. tax-payer funded effort to change Kenya’s pro-life laws raises red flags as to how U.S. monies may be used to impose legalized abortion on other countries through their constitutions,” Smith added. “Congress has determined that U.S. funding should not be used to lobby for or against abortion in other countries. That prohibition can easily be adhered to by any Administration that is committed to obeying the law.”

    “President of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony, Marjorie Dannenfelser, list has issued a statement in response to the ruling:

    “So far, pResident Obama has been able to rely only upon his executive office and the courts in order to force taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood against the will of state legislators. Ignoring grassroots is a losing game. In this time of financial crisis, states like Texas should have the right to prioritize their health care funding, placing whole women’s health care, primary care, first. The Fifth Circuit court and, we believe, others will reveal this further. Abortion-centered organizations like Planned Parenthood do not deserve taxpayer dollars.”

    “THE REAL ISSUE: ABORTION AND RAPE”

    “ANDREW NAPOLITANO RESPONDS TO ‘CACOPHONY OF CONDEMNATIOB’ OVER AKIN REMARKS”

    by Andrew Napolitano

    “Abortion takes the life of innocent human beings, who are the most vulnerable in our society. Abortion is today the most frequently performed medical procedure in the United States. American physicians perform about two abortions every minute of every hour of every day: about 1 million a year since 1973. In my home state of New Jersey, abortion is permitted up to the moment of birth, and the state will even pay for it if the mother meets certain financial criteria.

    How low have we sunk? What are the consequences of this mass slaughter? How did we get here?

    We got here because of the most reprehensible and unconstitutional Supreme Court opinion in the modern era. In a throwback to its infamous Dred Scott decision – in which a pre-Civil War Supreme Court declared that blacks are not persons and, hence, cannot claim the protections of the Constitution – the court essentially said in Roe vs. Wade the same of fetuses in the womb.

    Roe vs. Wade has spawned more slaughter than all 20th-century tyrants combined. The consequences of this slaughter are vast lost generations of human beings who were denied by the law the right to live. The economic consequences from which we all suffer today – entitlements too costly to afford and too few wage earners to pay for them – are directly attributable to the absence of population growth.

    I am not arguing in favor of entitlements. The Constitution does not authorize the federal government to provide them. But when FDR and LBJ concocted their entitlement schemes in order to build permanent dependence on the Democratic Party, they understood population growth. Their understanding, too, was slaughtered by abortion. A society that prefers death to life not only cannot prosper; it cannot survive. Soon 40 percent of federal tax revenues will be dedicated to interest on the federal debt, and most of that borrowing has been to pay for entitlements. We are headed for a cliff.

    So are the babies in the womb. But isn’t the baby in a womb a person? Of course the baby in a womb is a person. The baby is produced by the physical interaction of two human parents, and every unborn baby possesses a fully actualizable human genome: all the material necessary to grow to adulthood and to exist independently outside the womb.

    What about rape? Rape is among the more horrific violations of human dignity imaginable. But it is a crime committed by the male, not the female – and certainly not by the child it might produce. When rape results in pregnancy, the baby has the same right to life as any child born by mutually loving parents. Only the Nazis would punish a child for the crimes of his or her father.”

    Katie Pavlich
    News Editor, Townhall
    Aug 22, 2012 01:00 PM EST

    “Today, the Congressional Budget Office released a report showing the federal government has posted a $1.1 trillion deficit for the fourth year in a row.

    For fiscal year 2012 (which ends on September 30), the federal budget deficit will total $1.1 trillion, CBO estimates, marking the fourth year in a row with a deficit of more than $1 trillion. That projection is down slightly from the $1.2 trillion deficit that CBO projected in March. At 7.3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), this year’s deficit will be three-quarters as large as the deficit in 2009 when measured relative to the size of the economy. Federal debt held by the public will reach 73 percent of GDP by the end of this fiscal year—the highest level since 1950 and about twice the share that it measured at the end of 2007, before the financial crisis and recent recession.

    Obama has increased the national debt by 50 percent since he took office. Remember, he claimed he would cut the deficit in half during his first term.

    FLASHBACK: February 2009.

    “This administration has inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit, the largest in our nation’s history.”

    “We cannot and will not sustain deficits like these.”

    “We cannot simply spend as we please.”

    “We are paying the price for these deficits right now.”

    Obama: “That’s why today I am pledging to cut the deficit we inherited by half the end of my first term in office.”

    An alliance of more than 60 labor, peace, student, immigrant rights, gay and lesbian and other groups says it’s ready for a 5,000-person march on the first day of the Republican National Convention.

    “There will be nothing that will stop us from marching in the streets to demand good jobs, health care, affordable education, equality and peace and to oppose the party of legitimate rape,” said Corey Uhl of the local chapter of Students for a Democratic Society.

    ………..Protesters are expected to come on buses from as far away as New York, Minnesota, Illinois and the state of Washington, organizers say. The crowd could include more than 700 college students. A member of Occupy Wall Street is expected to arrive with three busloads of demonstrators.

The only poll that matters is on Nov. 6th.

    …Organizers say the march will be peaceful and contend that any trouble is likely to be started by police.

    Asked whether the march will try to prevent anyone from, for example, breaking windows or throwing rocks, march leader Jared Hamil said, “If they break the law, well, it’s the law. Whatever the law says.”

    But Hamil declined to criticize groups that might not follow organizers’ plans for a peaceful march with a permit from the city….

  64. “OBAMA DEMANDS COURT UPHOLD HIS “RIGHT” TO IGNORE CONSTITUTION”

    By Doug Book
    August 15, 2012

    “Obama’s Department of Justice is demanding a federal judge dismiss the injunction with which she sought to uphold the constitutional rights of the American people.

    On May 16th, federal judge Kathleen Forrest granted a preliminary injunction to plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed against Barack Obama and the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA), striking down those sections of the Act that provide the president the power to indefinitely detain American citizens without benefit of their 5th and 6th Amendment rights.

    ===> Under the terms of the Act, Obama had been given exclusive authority to direct members of the US military to arrest and imprison anyone he believed to have “substantially supported” al Qaeda, the Taliban, or “associated forces.” When pressed by plaintiff’s attorneys about the practical extent of this authority, government lawyers admitted “…the NDAA does give the president the power to lock up people like journalist Chris Hedges and peaceful activists,” admitting that “…even war correspondents could be locked up indefinitely under the NDAA.” And when asked by the judge what it meant to be an “associated force”, Obama’s lawyers “…claimed the right to refrain from offering any clear definition of [the] term, or clear boundaries of the president’s power under [the] law.” Obama made it clear his Administration would ignore the court and its injunction regardless of what the judge may decide, claiming incorrectly that “…[the] injunction would have ‘nil’ effect, for the government would continue to possess the identical detention authority under the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force…” Of course, that is a lie, as the AUMF applies only to known members of al Qaeda or the Taliban. Most indicative of the Obama Administration’s contempt for Judge Forrest, the law, and the American people was government attorney Benjamin Torrance’s claim that it was “the Obama Administration’s position” NDAA detention provisions do not apply to American citizens living in the US. <===

    Judge Forrest responded by quoting Chief Justice Roberts, who wrote in a 2010 case that the Supreme Court “…would not uphold an unconstitutional statute merely because the government promised to use it reasonably.”

    So much for Judge Forrest’s faith in the validity and value of Obama’s signing statement promise to not employ his Section 1021 authority to indefinitely detain the American public!

    Yet incredibly, when pressed on the issue, this Obama mouthpiece suggested to Forrest that concerns about the president’s detention powers were excessive as American citizens would, after all, have the ability to file a writ of habeas corpus should they be illegally or improperly jailed! “How long does [such a] petition take,” asked Forrest? When Torrance refused to answer, the Judge continued, “Several years, right”?

    So not only did Obama’s attorney lie about his Marxist boss’s corrupt intentions; he actually claimed that the abuse of American citizens was somehow acceptable because those unconstitutionally imprisoned might ask that the charges against them be produced after ONLY a few years behind bars!

    Judge Forrest will soon decide whether to make the injunction permanent. Every citizen must watch very carefully for that ruling, as the “mainstream” media has ignored the story completely. We must all hope the Judge will not be intimidated by this corrupt Regime as so many of her colleagues have been before her."

They are also in the progress of working on potential TV releases. Fox News host Sean Hannity will have an hour-long special on the film Friday, according to Big Hollywood.

    Sudanese Cleric: If I Had the Power I Would Blow Up America, Turn U.S. Into A Thing Of The Past…

    Muhammad Al-Jazouli: Dear brothers, the governor of Colorado spoke about the great threats [to the US]. I was amazed when I read these words. I was even more amazed when I began to look into this myself in detail, with regard to the American reality.

    I realized that the US suffers from a crisis in its south and a crisis in its west – just as it generates crises in the southern and western parts of all [other countries].

    In the south, the US suffers from the crisis of the black people, and in the west, it suffers from the crisis of the Indians. These people are now forming their own political organizations in the US, and are demanding the rights of their forefathers, and demanding revenge against the Europeans, who came to their lands and plundered them. This is the reality in America.

    […]

    If only I had power. If only I had media power and political power. I swear by Allah that within six months, I would blow up these time bombs, turning the US into a thing of the past.

    […]

    My final message is to the mujahideen: Be steadfast, oh mujahideen. Be steadfast for a little longer on the path of harming America. America is drawing its last breath. Do not let it catch its breath!

    I guess he doesn’t mind also taking out those groups he was supposedly sympathizing with!

    Thank you for posting the sobering article by Judge Napolitano. Having been an active pro-lifer since 1973, I never cease to get hit in the pit of my stomach when reading such an expose`, because it is all SO TRUE.

    If the killing of 50 to 60 million babies in America grieves us, can we even begin to imagine how much it grieves God, the giver of life? God will judge America for this holocaust, and I fear that the judgment has already begun. Furthermore, the Democrats are the party of death and have been for some time. Unless we repent and turn from our wicked ways………..

  73. Mother Theresa on abortion:

    Mother Theresa on abortion:

    “America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father’s role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts — a child — as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters”
    And, in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being’s entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign.” (Mother Theresa — “Notable and Quotable,” Wall Street Journal, 2/25/94, p. A14
    ——————————————————————————–
    “Any country that accepts abortion, is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what it wants.”
    ——————————————————————————–
    “It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.”
    —————————————————–
    Shortly before she died, Mother Teresa said: “There will be no peace in the world until there is peace in the womb” and, more ominously, she predicted that “The fruit of abortion will be nuclear war.”
    ———————————————————————–
    Then, while visiting Detroit in 1987, Pope John Paul II warned us: “America, your very survival as a nation depends upon how you treat the weakest among you, especially the babies in their mother’s womb.” At World Youth Day in Denver in 1993: “America defend life, defend life!” Finally, at Castel Gandolfo, Italy in 1996 John Paul warned the world, “A nation that kills its own children, is a nation without hope!”

  74. Thanks, Observer. No one could give expression to this like Mother Teresa.
    So, reasonable people who see what has and is happening can only conclude that unless America changes its ways, we are headed “without hope” towards a very dangerous future. God will not be mocked forever.

  75. I really hope Romney, Ryan are preparing a thousand ads about Obama’s infanticide! Complete with visuals! Shock folks into understanding exactly what late term abortions are really all about.

  76. Philo-Publius's avatar Philo-Publius
  77. And, once again, some of that history of infanticide associated with Obama (and friends).

    http://www.jillstanek.com/aborted-alive/obama-wright-an.html

    http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/10/obamas_culture_of_death_and_th.html

    ………….
    The issue of what to do with babies who inconveniently survived the abortionist’s killing skill was raised in Illinois while Barack Obama was a state senator there.

    Jill Stanek, a nurse in a Chicago hospital performing abortions, brought the issue to the forefront after she held a dying-infant survivor for the hour it took the little one to die. Standard procedure had called for the baby to be placed in a soiled utility closet with the other medical waste, but Stanek couldn’t stand this, so she cradled the infant in her arms instead.

    Afterward, she set out to determine how on earth throwing babies out with the trash had become a “standard procedure” in this One Nation under God.

    Obama’s votes were in keeping with his pastor, Jeremiah Wright.

    During the years when the infanticide controversy was roiling in Chicago, due to the heroic efforts of Nurse Jill Stanek, Jeremiah Wright had just completed his tenure on Christ Hospital’s board of directors. In fact, a number of folks with close ties to Trinity were receiving their paychecks from the hospital owned and operated by the church’s parent denomination, United Churches of Christ.

    A more bitter blasphemy, I simply cannot imagine. Talk about using the Lord’s name in the propagation of evil.

    A few unearthed tidbits from the nurse who brought these infanticides to public view:

    From 1986 to 1989, Wright served on the board of directors of Evangelical Health Systems, Christ Hospital’s parent company. In 1995, EHS merged to create Advocate Health Care, controlled jointly by the United Church of Christ and Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, both pro-abortion.
    •TUCC is a member of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.

    •In 1999, I discovered babies were being aborted alive at Christ Hospital. I testified before a Congressional committee in 2000 and 2001. I was fired in 2001. Obama opposed IL’s Born Alive Infant Protection Act in 2001, 2002, and 2003.

    •Christ Hospital’s CEO throughout that time, Carole Schneider, as a UCC member.
    •One prominent Advocate board member then and now is Rev. Dr. Ozzie Smith, Jr., a former associate pastor at TUCC under Wright.

  78. Sheriff Joe now headed for Tampa
    Amid Obama probe, DOJ lawsuit, he’s ‘wildly popular’ throughout the nation

    Amid his battle with the Justice Department and his investigation of Obama’s eligibility, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been asked to address a large audience of delegates to the Republican National Convention in Tampa.

    The invitation-only reception for delegates from Western states will be held Aug. 30 at the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa. Elephants, appropriately, are expected to be at the GOP event.

  79. Zach and Philo,

    Todd Akin’s words……
    “It seems to me first of all, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that didn’t work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist, and not attacking the child.”

    Akin appears to have based his assertions on someone’s ill-advised medical opinion. Right or wrong, the detractors zeroed in on the misstated words “legitimate rape” whereas he likely meant to say “If it’s rape and not consensual sex…..” They chose to ignore his answer to Charles Jaco’s question when he expressed his faith influenced belief that the innocent child should be allowed to live and the rapist should be punished. Akin’s comments were badly stated but hardly worth the death penalty. The Republican party was way to quick to kill their own young. Instead of treating the wound they shot the patient.

    Meanwhile, we have a President who has injected the government into the bedroom and every woman’s sex life by mandating all businesses offer employees insurance coverage that must include sterilization, abortion-inducing drugs and contraception. Making the laws is the responsibility of the Congress, not the President. By what authority does Obama make such a mandate?

    What is more egregious, Akin’s badly stated comment or Obama’s un-Constitutional mandate?

    And, I might add, Todd Akin Was Never Accused of Rape — Unlike Bill Clinton, who will have a key speaking role at the Democrat Convention

    http://townhall.com/columnists/larryelder/2012/08/23/todd_akin_was_never_accused_of_rape__unlike_bill_clinton

    I did not vote for Akin in the Missouri primary but come November, I will cast my vote for anyone but McCaskill.

  80. Immigration agents sue to stop Obama’s non-deportation policy

    The 10 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and deportation officers said Mr. Obama’s policies force them to choose between enforcing the law and being reprimanded by superiors, or listening to superiors and violating their own oaths of office and a 1996 law that requires them to put those who entered the country illegally into deportation proceedings.

    Upping the ante, the agents are being represented by a high-profile lawyer, Kris W. Kobach, secretary of state in Kansas and the chief promoter of state immigration crackdowns such as Arizona’s tough law.

    “ICE is at a point now where agents are being told to break federal law, they’re pretty much told that any illegal alien under age of 31 is going to be let go. You can imagine, these law enforcement officers are being put in a horrible position,” Mr. Kobach said.

    I hope all folks feel that way especially when comparing O who believes in partial birth abortion as well as killing those born alive after a botched abortion.

    But judging from the latest MO poll it looks like many voters don’t agree with you.

  82. Philo,

    Yes, there is much Missouri support for Akin and growing disenchantment with the Republican party.

    http://www.24thstate.com/2012/08/akin-17th-century-justice-no-less.html?utm_source=Web+Site+Users&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=38483d6b1b-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN

    Can Akin win this election or will he drop out under pressure from his own party? I don’t know. But If he chooses to stay, he has my support.

    If God is for us, who can be against us?

  83. I usually post a brief tease and the link of an article and not the article in its entirety, however, WND speaks out about Aiken………….

    Now is the time for courage

    Want to know why the Republican Party is in such trouble? I believe it comes down to one word: courage.
    When Democrats misspeak, we make them vice president. When Republicans misspeak, Republicans are the first in line to throw them under the bus.
    When Rep. Todd Akin stood for protecting all innocent human life in a recent interview, he used a word with more than one meaning. He used the word “legitimate” before the word “rape” to mean “real,” “forcible,” a tragic event that “really took place.” Anyone who doesn’t think false claims of rape can be made should check with Norma McCorvey, the “Roe” of Roe v. Wade. The infamous abortion case, based on her false rape claim, has resulted in the deaths of 55 million innocent human lives.
    But because “legitimate” could also modify the word rape, some in the Republican Party are practically writing Willie Horton ads about it, pretending that the congressman is “pro-rape” and wants to let rapists out on furlough. This “interpretation” of the congressman’s words doesn’t resemble reality, and everyone knows it.
    If Republicans love their country, they will quit using fiction to shoot their own and focus on the real enemies of life: Democrats Claire McCaskill and Barack Obama, who stand for legally sucking the brains out of half-born babies in a procedure called partial-birth abortion.
    In America, we shouldn’t kill people for the crimes of their father. And in politics, we shouldn’t kill statesmen for a badly worded sound bite.
    Thankfully, there are men and women of courage who stand with Rep. Akin, beginning with the founder of National and International Right to Life, Dr. Jack Willke, who said:
    “Congressman Todd Akin remains a strong and courageous pro-life leader – and awkward wording in one sound-bite doesn’t negate that. Of course, Congressman Akin never used the word ‘legitimate’ to refer to the rapist. … It’s time for Republican leaders to rise to the level of Rep. Todd Akin’s principle and courage and stand with him and the Republican platform that stands for the protection of every human life.”
    Dr. Ted Baehr of Movieguide added:
    “The attacks on Rep. Todd Akin are vicious, bigoted and insensitive. This is media and left-wing bullying at its worst. Todd is one of the few really good men in the United States. Every decent person, everyone of faith and values, every American should support him and stand up to the progressive, leftist, Democratic, media bullies.”
    I agree with Dr. Baehr – even when those bullies call themselves “Republican.”
    Tim Wildmon is president of the American Family Association – with more members than the circulations of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal – combined. Here’s what he had to say:
    “Fair-minded people understand that Congressmen Akin is not ‘pro-rape.’ That is absolutely ridiculous and everyone knows it. … I’m a little stunned at the piling on against Rep. Akin over what clearly is a simple misuse of the English language. The way he is being treated by some GOP leaders and colleagues is just wrong. This is a decent, honorable man who has been pro-life and pro-traditional values. He has apologized for his choice of words and that should be the end of it.”
    Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, added his voice:
    “… Congressman Akin – an unsung hero on Capitol Hill, who with courage and conviction, has stood for life and liberty, and he is a man who quickly apologizes for his faults. I’m proud to stand with, and fight for, the hero we know as Congressman Akin, to become the next senator from Missouri.”
    Dr. Jim Garlow of Renewing American Leadership said:
    “No doubt about it. Congressman Akin misspoke. We all do. … And he immediately did what we all have to do when we misspeak. He apologized. And well he should. But here is my question: Will the people who got understandably upset regarding his misstatement (repeating: for which he apologized) get equally upset over the fact that babies are being torn to shreds in the womb? Rape is a horrible, violent act. We all agree. Killing a baby in the womb is, too. Why am I hearing silence on that issue?”
    Rachelle Heidlebaugh of Witness Abortion Recovery put it this way: “As a woman who has had an abortion following being raped, I stand with Rep. Todd Akin for the protection of every child in the womb. A violent act did not justify a second violent act upon my innocent child. I mourn the loss of my baby every single day, a child who would be 15 today had I not bought the lie that abortion was ‘the solution’ for my rape.”
    Mat Staver, dean of Liberty School of Law and founder of Liberty Counsel, added:
    “Congressman Todd Akin is a man of integrity who loves God, loves America, and has been a bright star in Congress and will even shine brighter as the next U.S. senator. … Todd Akin is what is right with America and those calling for him to step down represent the failed policies and bankrupt views that most American want to see changed.”
    Bott Radio founder Dick Bott said, “With Bott Radio Network’s (BRN) headquarters in Missouri for 50 years, I have known Todd Akin and his family since he first entered Missouri politics. … He has always been an example of what I wish every political leader would be. In short ‘he is the real deal.’ In fact, he’s one of my heroes.”
    Finally, I agree with Chris Brown, president of the Missouri Republican Assembly, who said:
    “… The Republican leadership needs to grow a spine. … While Todd may have been indiscreet in his word choice, he was not wrong in his facts. … If we are unable to stand strong for our values it will be the Republican leadership that allows American exceptionalism to become a footnote in history.”
    If you want leaders to courageously stand for life in the U.S. Senate, courageously stand for Rep. Todd Akin now. He must run, and he must win.
    http://www.wnd.com/2012/08/now-is-the-time-for-courage/

  84. I don’t blame Akin for holding that life begins at conception – and holding that belief as a starting point there – it would be completely reasonable for that person not to allow exceptions for rape and incest.

    However, Akin must have been aware that the Democrats crossed over to vote for him in the primary. It was just stupid to not be aware that he needed to be VERY careful with his words. Now, it’s not even about abortion – it about legitimate vs. illegitimate rapes.

    Now, it looks like he is simply digging his heels in and raising money even though it looks like he will lose. It seems very selfish to many. I would vote for him if he stays in. However, I do believe he is damaging the entire ticket’s chances. The Economy or Oconomy needed to be the issue.

    To take on abortion – Romney needs to be willing to get real graphic with Obama’s support for infanticide! I don’t think he will do that. It just PO’s a lot a people that Akin opened a door to a fight that should have been had later. If Romney loses because of this, Obama will appoint how many pro infanticide Supreme Court justices?

    Akin seems like a good man but….. The Indian Princess in Mass. is already using Akin’s words against Brown without ever mentioning Brown’s name.

    Hopefully Akin will get out soon. I have to go now. Take care.

  85. Jonah

    I did not vote for Akin in the primary but I to will vote FOR Akin and AGAINST …Satans bride…McCaskill.

    Come on Missouri stop bashing Akin and stay focused on voteing the evil bitch out. We are the ‘Show Me’ state so let’s prove it!

    God Bless America
