This is the sort of things people need to see, not the Occupy stuff. Not only when it comes to the reality of unemployment but also when it comes to the police. All these people at OCcupy seemed really surprised and appalled about the police use of force when a lot of blacks and latinos and poor people have been dealing with abuse for decades. That's what they've been talking about all a long.

Ex-Kerry aide charged with leaking classified info
http://openchannel.msnbc.msn.com…Ex-CIA agent charged with leaking classified info on Gitmo case
A former U.S. Senate investigator who had previously worked for the CIA was arrested Monday and charged with repeatedly leaking classified information to journalists as well as violating the federal law that forbids disclosing the identity of covert intelligence officers.
John Kiriakou, who between 2009 and last year worked as an investigator for Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was charged by a federal grand jury with one count of violating the Intelligence Agencies Protection Act, two counts of violating the Espionage Act and one count of lying to the CIA about his actions in an effort to convince the agency to let him publish a book, "The Reluctant Spy: My Secret Life in the CIA's War on Terror."

Tax Evaders Renounce U.S. Citizenship
http://www.allgov.com/US_and_the…Rather than deal with the complexities of U.S. tax law, Americans living overseas are increasingly renouncing their citizenship in order to avoid paying their income taxes.
According to National Taxpayer Advocate Nina E. Olson, approximately 4,000 people gave up their citizenship from fiscal year 2005 to FY 2010. Renunciations increased sharply within the past three years, from 146 in FY 2008 to 1,534 in FY 2010. And during the first two quarters of FY 2011 alone, 1,024 Americans ditched their citizenship.

What Wilman Villar's tragic death tells us about today's Cuba
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2…The tragic death of Cuban dissident Wilman Villar after a 50-day hunger strike should make clear that the Cuban people seek freedom and are increasingly willing to defy a repressive regime to get it.
They deserve outside moral support, which is best expressed by a repudiation of the regime that brutalizes them, not by establishing relations that would only legitimize the dictatorship of the Castro brothers.

Barack Obama Is the Food Stamp President
Saying so is factual, and certainly not racist.
Newt Gingrich has taken to characterizing President Barack Obama as “the food stamp president.” That description of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue’s current occupant is factually correct, both narrowly and broadly. Stating that fundamental truth does not make Gingrich or anyone else a racist, as leftist smear merchants in government, the Democratic Party, and the establishment press want America to believe.
Participation in the food stamp program, technically known as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), has increased by 44% from 32.0 million in January 2009 to 46.2 million in October 2011, the last month for which data is available. During that time, the average monthly benefit per person has increased by over 18% from $114 to $135, even though the costs of food eaten at home have increased by only 5%, and even though gross benefits before deductions for income and assets three years ago roughly approximated what was needed to maintain adequate nutrition on a “thrifty meal plan.” Monthly program costs have increased by over 70%, from $3.6 billion to $6.2 billion.

We should all go out and read Wilman Villar's books and essays on the Cuban oppression.
But good luck finding any of his writings because he does not have any. He's never wrote any. None, zero, zilch, nada.
He was thrown in jail for beating his wife and thought he could get released by calling himself a political dissident.
Thanks Amnesty Intl. for making a hero out of someone who causes domestic violence...

Jon Stewart Takes On Mitt Romney's Tax Return: How Do You Justify Making The U.S. Median Annual Income In A Day?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/20…
Stewart also brought up a related point: that in 2007, Romney's Bain Capital was one of the companies who lobbied against a bill that would have made private equity owners pay a 35% tax rate (instead of %15, which is still higher than what Romney pays now). And yet, on the campaign trail, Romney has called the 47% of americans who pay no income tax because they are underemployed or otherwise disabled, "unfair."
"Poor people have sh*tty lobbyists," Stewart lamented.

Mitt Romney's problem with evangelical Christian voters has been well documented.
But as the Republican presidential nomination fight heats up in Florida, a Mormon rite that leaves many Jews seething could prove awkward for the candidate in a state that's home to more Jewish people than any other besides New York and California.
The religious rite is proxy baptism for the dead. According to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormon Church, these posthumous "blessings" are intended to "save" ancestors and others who weren't baptized in life or were baptized "without proper authority."
Any Mormon may baptize any person posthumously. Church members have performed the ritual on Buddha, Catholic popes, 9/11 hijackers, William Shakespeare, Joan of Arc, Elvis Presley, President Obama's mother and even reportedly Jesus Christ. In 2002, the managing director of the Mormon's family and church history department told The New Yorker magazine that as many as 200 million dead people had been baptized as Mormons.
The names of most were listed in microfilm records at the church's Family History Library in Salt Lake City and in 4,500 branch research centers. The Mormon Church has spent millions of dollars microfilming, indexing and cataloging vital records from everywhere to enable its mission. Its genealogical treasure trove of 2 billion documents, open to anyone with the patience to troll through it, is the largest in the world.
In 1994, an Israeli genealogist researching her family in the Mormons' computerized International Genealogical Index made a startling discovery. Her grandfather, a religiously observant Jew killed in the Holocaust, had been posthumously baptized as a Mormon. Distraught, she alerted other Jewish genealogists who soon learned that some 380,000 Holocaust victims, including Anne Frank, had been baptized. Plus, Theodor Herzl, the founder of Zionism, David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, and scientist Albert Einstein had received this treatment.

Factory Jobs Obama Wants Are Unlikely to Return in Large Numbers
http://www.businessweek.com/news…But of course, nix the Keystone XL plan (which would have created 10's of thousands of jobs) in order for one of your benefactors, Warren Buffet (DINO - Democrat In Name Only) to be able to control the shipping / transpo rights via Burlington Northern Santa Fe LLC aka Berkshire Hathaway. I suppose Obama has nothing to gain from that, HUH!?!?! And the hypocritical talk of "The Buffet Rule". Fuck Buffet as well, he's playing the system and the Dems like a deck of cards and winning at it.

Fleming: Class Warfare Doesn’t Produce Jobs
http://thehayride.com/2011/09/fl…From MSNBC earlier today, Rep. John Fleming adds a personal touch in response to this “soak the rich” narrative Obama is attempting to lay down. Fleming has a bunch of Subway stores and UPS stores in the northwest part of the state, and he nets about $600,000 a year off those – which makes him the target of Obama’s new tax-hikes-that’ll-get-the-econom... plan.
The hostess spews typically lefty babble at him. He handles it well.
The only criticism we’d make is that when she starts in with the “you’re not very sympathetic to middle class people with your 400K take-home” stuff, he could have been a bit stronger. He could have said “well, tax $100,000 of that so I can’t put it back into my business and you just killed two $50,000-a-year jobs I could have created, or a half-dozen kids I could have given a first job to and gotten them started down the road toward being productive citizens. Do you think the government could get a half-dozen kids into the workforce for $100,000?”
Of course, the last two minutes of the clip is Ezra Klein, who’s completely full of shit in saying that “no economist” agrees that tax increases have an overrated effect on government revenue. That’s a lie.
But then, it’s MSNBC. Go on MSNBC and you’re certain to run up against Democrat propaganda.

36 Obama aides owe $833,000 in back taxes
http://news.investors.com/Articl…How embarrassing this must be for President Obama, whose major speech theme so far this campaign season has been that every single American, no matter how rich, should pay their "fair share" of taxes.
Because how unfair -- indeed, un-American -- it is for an office worker like, say, Warren Buffet's secretary to dutifully pay her taxes, while some well-to-do people with better educations and higher incomes end up paying a much smaller tax rate.
Or, worse, skipping their taxes altogether.
A new report just out from the Internal Revenue Service reveals that 36 of President Obama's executive office staff owe the country $833,970 in back taxes. These people working for Mr. Fair Share apparently haven't paid any share, let alone their fair share.
If it were you or I, we'd be hard-pressed to stay out of the slammer.
- Would love to see that stat for previous admins.DrBombay
- I don't know of many succesful business people who don't or haven't owed back taxes at some point in time. This doesnt mean they dont plan on paying what they owe.Josev
- mean they dont plan on paying what they owe.Josev
- Uhmmm it blatantly states that they owe $833,970.00********
- uhm imagine how much bush admin. got away with?74LEO
- yes, it does state that they owe. Does it say that they dont plan on paying? How many are due to having underestimated, or for some other reason.Josev
- some other reason? Thos doesnt mean that theyre trying to cheat the govt. out of taxes or that they don't believe in paying taxes.Josev
- paying taxes.Josev
