John Kerry, Never Met a “Sails” Tax I didn’t Like, Unless I had to Pay It Myself
Ever wonder why Congress has a confidence rating of 11%? They earned it!
Massachusetts Senator John “I voted for it before I voted against it” Kerry seems to have finally met a tax he did not like. In this case its a “SAILS” tax, not a sales tax.
John Kerry, the artful dodger
According to the Boston Herald, Kerry has avoided a six-figure state tax bill on his new multimillion-dollar yacht by mooring her in Newport, RI. But of course Kerry denies any wrong doing. Think you or I would get the benefit of the doubt in a matter like this? It is obvious what the intent is by docking the boat in Newport.
But instead of berthing the vessel in Nantucket, where the senator summers with the missus, Teresa Heinz, Isabel’s hailing port is listed as “Newport” on her stern.
Could the reason be that the Ocean State repealed its Boat Sales and Use Tax back in 1993, making the tiny state to the south a haven – like the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and Nassau – for tax-skirting luxury yacht owners?
Cash-strapped Massachusetts still collects a 6.25 percent sales tax and an annual excise tax on yachts. Sources say Isabel sold for something in the neighborhood of $7 million, meaning Kerry saved approximately $437,500 in sales tax and an annual excise tax of about $70,000.

58% of New York Voters Against Mosque Near Ground Zero in NYC
Who is being TOLERANT of those who lost LOVED ONES on 9-11 … America, HAVE WE FORGOTTEN?
58% of New York City voters are against the building of a Muslim mosque near ground zero, while only 20% are in favor. The PC crowd in this country will be the death of us. If it is all about tolerance as the Islamic apologists say, why are the folks who want to place a Mosque in the shadows of “Ground Hero” being tolerant and empathetic of the feelings of those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001? Why isn’t tolerance a two way street?
Most voters in New York (58%) oppose the building of an Islamic mosque near Ground Zero in New York City.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds that just 20% favor the building of a mosque near the 9/11 Ground Zero sight, while 21% are not sure. These findings are very similar to those found nationwide.
Some of those in favor of the mosque have argued that it will “honor” the 9/11 victims by promoting the peaceful side of Islam, but 60% of voters in New York lack confidence that this is truly the motivation behind construction. Thirty-one percent (31%) are confident the mosque is being built for this reason. This includes 12% who are Very Confident and 39% who are Not At All Confident.
58% of New Yorkers have NOT FORGOTTEN
Of all places to erect a Muslim mosque … in the shadows of “Ground Zero”? For those who think this is the right thing and nearly 60% of NY’ers find it inappropriate, we have truly FORGOTTEN.

New Black Panther Party is a Racist Hate Group and Malik Zulu Shabazz is a Liar … Nice Song, “Amerikkkas Most Hated”
Malik Zulu Shabazz, the National Chairman of the New Black Panther Party … YOU LIE! The New Black Panther Party hits keep on coming … LITERALLY!
According to Malik Zulu Shabazz, the NBBP is not a hate group, they are just misunderstood and being attacked by the a vast right-wing conspiracy. Shabazz stated that the Republicans are overtly making boogeymen out of New Black Panther Party. Yup, that’s right, no hate here at the New Black Panther Party.
“For the record, the New Black Panther party is not racist nor a hate group and has worked many years in the cities and counties of America on the issues of violence, self-education. Fighting hate crimes and police abuse. Dr. Malik Zulu Shabazz. And the NBPP currently enjoy the support of Reverend Al Sharpton, Minister Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse Jackson over a dozen Congressional Black Caucus Members and many Black Mayors and Judges across the nation.”

National Chairman of the New Black Panther Party
June 21, 2010
Really. Really? As the Gateway Pundit states, “it’s funny isn’t it how the state-run media can find some broke white farmer from an incident that happened 25 years ago in less than 24 hours… But, can’t find a Kill Whitey CD by the far left New Black Panther Party from 2004.”

Former Chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee Democrat Charlie Rangel Charged With Multiple Ethics Violations
Former Chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee Democrat Charlie Rangel Charged With Multiple Ethics Violations
The House ethics subcommittee announced Thursday that it found that Rep. Charles B. Rangel (NY-D) violated congressional ethics rules and that it will prepare for a trial. The committee did not immediately specify the charges against Rangel. The former House Ways and Means Committee chairman stated that he looked forward to fighting the ethics charges.
A House ethics subcommittee announced Thursday that it found that Rep. Charles B. Rangel violated congressional ethics rules and that it will prepare for a trial, probably beginning in September. The panel is expected to make the details of his alleged violations public next Thursday.
Rangel (D-N.Y.) has been under the House ethics committee’s microscope since early 2008 after it was reported that he may have used his House position to benefit his financial interests. Two of the most serious inquiries have focused on Rangel’s failure to declare $239,000 to $831,000 in assets on his disclosure forms, and on his effort to raise money for a private center named after him at City College of New York using his congressional letterhead.
Charlie Rangel previously stepped away from the House Ways & Means Committee chair, due to the ethics probe. After all, Nancy Pelosi promised us the most honest House evah.

Interviewed by NBC, MSNBC to be exact … Rangel tells the report that he asked a dumb question. It is rather amusing that Rangel’sfirst thought was this must be a FOX News guy trying to do gotcha journalism. Talk about your elitism and exactly what is wrong with politicians today. Rangel’s attitude is how dare you ask me such a question even though he has been charged with multiple ethics violations. Instead the Democrat learns that it is the far left leaning MSNBC. Sorry Charlie, but you do need to explain yourself.
What will Rangel do if Republicans win back the House in November and are in control? Correction, what are Democrats going to do when a House ethics investigation takes place on TV in September prior to the November midterm elections?

Remember the $700 Billion TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) … Its Now $3.7 Trillion
Because politicianswould never lie as to how much a program would actually cost tax payer, now would they? Welcome to Obamanomics.
The Troubled Asset Relief Program, TARP, that was told to America that would cost $700 billion is now estimated to cost $3.7 trillion. Yes you heard that correct, trillion with a “T”. Can you imagine how much Obamacare is really going to cost? Do any of you really believe it will save money?
Increased housing commitments swelled U.S. taxpayers’ total support for the financial system by $700 billion in the past year to around $3.7 trillion, a government watchdog said on Wednesday.
The Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program said the increase was due largely to the government’s pledges to supply capital to Fannie Mae (FNMA.OB) and Freddie Mac (FMCC.OB) and to guarantee more mortgages to the support the housing market.

Congress at 11% in Confidence, Lowest of all Institutions Polled, Confidence in Presidency Down 15 to 36%
Who is in charge in Congress? Who is Driving Congress into the ditch?
11% confidence rating in the Gallup poll for Congress. I guess you would call that a vote of no confidence. However, lost in the Gallup poll is this little gem, the confidence in the Presidency (that would be Barack Hussein Obama) is down 15 points to 36%. Try and blame this one on GWB.
Congress has a lower confidence rating than newspapers, HMO’s and the dreaded evil big business. Hell, there might be more confidence in used cars salesman than Congress. How does Congress rate against drug dealers? Thanks to Nancy Pelosi’s leadership as the Democrat Speaker of the House, she has lead the charge in the Congress driving off the cliff. Thanks to the Democrat leadership Pelosi and Harry Reid … Congress is almost in single digits. Isn’t Reid up for re-election Nevada? So what will Congress do now in the face of 11% confidence … “cap & trade”, “illegal immigration” reform, amnesty? How about spending more tax payer dollars and mortgaging our children’s future?

Obama Hope & Change Obamanomics: First Time Jobless Claims Jump 37,000 to 464,000, Most Since February
Gee Barack, the economy is headed in the right direction, eh?
The new economic numbers are out and once again they are not good. First time jobless claims increased by 37,000 to 464,000. This is the most they have risen since February, 2010.
The number of people applying for initial state unemployment insurance benefits rose 37,000 to 464,000 in the week ended July 17, the Labor Department reported Thursday. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had expected an initial claims level of 450,000. The four-week average of initial claims – a better gauge of employment trends than the volatile weekly number – rose 1,250 to 456,000. Continuing claims in the week ended July 10 fell 223,000 to 4.49 million. Recent volatility in this number is due to seasonal adjustment issues, according to the Labor Department.

National Enquirer Reports Police Investigating Two More Woman Who Claimed They were Abused by former VP AL Gore
It’s not easy being GREEN or Al Gore these days …
According to the National Enquirer, police are investigating charges from two more woman who claim to have been abused by the former Vice President Al Gore. The new allegations are coming from two more massage therapists who claim to have been sexually abused in a hotel in Tokyo. The abuse is said to have occurred a year after the first charge of sexual assault by a Portland, OR woman.
The allegations come hot on the heels of an ongoing Portland, Ore., police investigation that reopened after The ENQUIRER exclusively revealed accusations by a licensed massage therapist who says Gore groped her in 2006.
The ENQUIRER recently uncovered shocking allegations, from two other massage therapists.
Beware ladies, this time the sex crazed poodle goes International … The new story goes as follows and this is an image I really did not need. YIKES …
“The therapist claimed that when they were alone, Gore shrugged off a towel and stood naked in front of her.
“He pointed at his erect penis and ordered her, ‘Take care of THIS.’”
The Feministe points out that the Gore apologists are ready to defend their global warming buddy at all cost no matter what he may or may not have done. The Examiner is quick to say consider the source, they story is highly doubtful. Really? You mean like when the Enquirer broke the story about John Edward’s affair and love child? Because the source that the Examiner wants to smear got the Edward’s affair 100% correct. Like the liberal media and Journolisters have so much credibility. So much credibility indeed.
