The power to tax is the power to destroy…

…as glenn reports just ask former Amazon affiliates in Colorado.

Remember the same type of tax in Rhode Island and North Carolina has in dollars raised…nearly one.

Nothing like taking money out of the pockets of people in your state when they are hurting for jobs.

What dopes.

…let me spell it out.

All the different tricks and rabbits that these congressional idiots are trying to pull out of their hats to get this garbage bill passed are basically trial balloons to see if they can get away with them with the media and the public.

They do not have the votes, they know they don’t have the votes. The only thing they have is the hope that we will think that they have the votes and that we will back off.

The media will keep coming after this from a different angle, each one designed to trick us, to get our guard down. Don’t buy it.

Regardless of what people are saying these people know they have a tiger by the tail, if it wasn’t for pressure from the White House they would have dropped this nonsense by now.

The smart thing for the White House to do would be to cut their losses, admit that the public just isn’t stupid and uninformed enough to fall for this bit of graft ready to support “reform” in its current state and say ya caught us, oh well no harm in trying “Although this is and remains a priority for us, we hear the voice of the people that the jobs issue has to be handed first and decisively and this is a White House that listens to the people that elected them.”

Update:
Joe Scarborough is one of those who don’t get it. He actually said on the Today show that this bill passing is a “foregone conclusion”. If that was true it would have been passed a long time ago, they wouldn’t still be stalling. This administration wanting it passed doesn’t make it so, not when the president will have to go to Indonesia to find a place where thousands of Americans aren’t protesting his appearances.

Concerning this post Adrienne, no actually I’m not sickened because it’s what I expect.

One of the advantages of being a believing Catholic, (although not as good a one as I’d like) is that you see the struggle that life is made up of. There are two sides in this struggle and one side wants to promote and normalize evil.

This side will use both allies and dupes to achieve this but it really doesn’t matter as long as the evil is normalized, ignored and even protected by society.

Your naivete is understandable if you don’t look at the issue from this perspective, but one you do; you realize it is all part of the fight. This is and always was the goal.

Don’t give up the fight, it will change. It will take a generation for it to happen but it will change.

Today’s entry is yet more proof that conservative woman combine brains and beauty, Adrienne Royer of Cosmopolitan Conservative.

As I’ve mentioned one of the great things about CPAC was discovering excellent blogs that I didn’t know before. Her blog is one of them.

Update: I should point out that the reason Glenn Reynolds wasn’t what she expected was because someone was passing himself off as the blogfather. That’s certainly not her fault and the dishonorable fellow who caused her embarrassment in this fashion was unworthy of her company.
