Senate Democrats Want to Increase Air Travel Fees So that the TSA Can Continue to Grope Granny & Little Children

Because the Democrats never met a tax or fee increase the did not like …

The TSA is such a broken and inflated department with a failed groping policy that even the individual who created it thinks it should be scrapped; however,  Senate Democrats want now want to increase the travel fee. Presently the fee is $2.50. Democrats want to double the fee to $5.00. Are you serious? Why would such a failed agency more known for groping and fondling little girls, considering  disabled 7 year old’s terrorists, humiliating cancer patients and strip searching granny be provided more money?

The Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday moved forward with legislation to increase airline passenger security fees, beating back a GOP attempt to keep them at current levels.

The 2013 Homeland Security appropriations bill would increase one-way fees for passengers from $2.50 to $5 in order to close a budget shortfall at the Transportation Security Administration.

Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) said the $315 million in funding would otherwise come from taxpayers and argued it is better to stick passengers who rely on TSA with the bill.

Geraldo Rivera was unavailable for comment whether he thought there should be an increase in fees to be manually raped.

Democrat Actor & Former SNL Comedian Jon Lovitz Rips Barack Obama a New One in an Anti-Obama Rant … ‘What a F*cking A**hole’

WOW … and this following rant is coming from a Democrat and an individual who voted for Barack Obama in 2008.

Jon Lovitz, Democrat actor and former SNL comedian just went off on President Barack Obama and his agenda for the rich to pay higher taxes during a recent podcast.Talk about your free speech, Lovitz went on to call Obama a “f—ing asshole.”

This whole thing with Obama saying the rich don’t pay their taxes is f—ing bullshit, and I voted  for the guy and I’m a Democrat. What a f—ing asshole.”

Please be advised of the adult content of the language in the VIDEO, but this is just downright hysterical. Between Lovitz and the critic in the VIDEO, it is just priceless. I am certain the former SNL alum could not even attempt to say anything remotely like this on SNL these days.

Warning: Extreme warning on language from VIDEO below

More on the rant …

“This whole thing with Obama saying the rich don’t pay their taxes is f—ing bullshit, and I voted for the guy and I’m a Democrat. What a f—ing asshole,” Lovitz told Smith.

“First they say … ‘You can do anything you want. Go for it.’ So then you go for it, and then you make it, and everyone’s like, ‘F— you,’ ” Lovitz said. “[Obama] is the perfect example. He’s amazing. He had nothing … and the guy ends up being at Harvard. He’s the president of the United States. And now he’s like,  ‘F— me and everybody who made it like me.’ ”

However, it looks like Lovitz and Kevin Smith are very aware of Obama’s anti-free speech goon squad as they say during the rant, “They’re gonna come in and shut this place down, man [...] You won’t leave Obama alone.’

Later, as Lovitz’s anti-Obama diatribe kicked into high gear, Smith said: “They’re gonna come in and shut this place down, man. They’re gonna be like: ‘We heard the fourth f—ing episode. You won’t leave Obama alone.’ This is an election year, man … they’re gonna come in and make an example of you, man,” Smith said. “The government can do that. They can take your shit away.”

Note to SNL, who says that it is not funny to make fun of Barack Obama? You just don’t really do so because you are in the tank for him.

Former VP Dick Cheney Calls Obama an ‘Unmitigated Disaster to the country’ … As They Say, If the “Unmitigated” Shoe Fits …

Well is the “unmitigated disaster” fits Mr President …

Dick Cheney can best be described as new heart, same passion … Just three weeks after Dick Cheney’s heart transplant surgery, the former Vice President made the following comment referring to President Barack Obama, “He has been an unmitigated disaster to the country.”    Cheney went on to say that he could not remember a more important time to defeat an incumbent President like Barack Obama. Cheney certainly knows how to drive the LEFT crazy. However, if one actually looks at Obama’s record, even the LEFT, they know that Obama has been a failure as President.

Dick Cheney, just weeks after undergoing heart transplant surgery, plunged back into the political theater Saturday — praising presumptive nominee Mitt Romney while slamming President Obama as an “unmitigated disaster.”

The tough words came during an hour-and-15-minute talk at the Wyoming Republican Party state convention in Cheyenne on Saturday.

He sat in a plush chair throughout the long chat with daughter Liz Cheney and looked decidedly healthier than recent appearances where he has been gaunt and used a cane.

The United States has record federal debt, record people of food stamps, 8.2% unemployment, a 30 year low of employer participation in the work force, wasted Stimulus tax payer funds, continued housing foreclosures and gas prices doubled during his tenure. Add in Obamacare, the failed green energy scandals like Solyndra and the “Fast & Furious” scandal.  So how is Obama not an “unmitigated disaster”?

Barack Obama’s Secretary Paid Higher Tax Rate Than the One, But the Question Should Be Why … Also, Obama Does not Even Qualify for Buffet Rule

More from the divisive Hypocrite in Chief …

The latest in “class warfare” from President Barack Obama  … Obama pays lower tax rate than his secretary. However, the story is not that Obama’s secretary pays a higher tax rate, the question should be why does a hypocrite like Obama champion the “Buffet rule”, yet in the next breath do everything possible to lower his tax rate? Hmm?

Upon release of Barack Obama’s 2011 federal income tax return we learned that the Obamamessiah pad an effective tax rate of 20.5% making an adjusted gross $789,674. Note to “Occupy Wall Street folks, Obama is hardly one of you.  It would appear that Obama’s secretary Anita Decker Breckenridge paid a slightly higher tax rate and only grosses $95,000.

President Obama today released his 2011 federal income tax, with he and his wife reporting an adjusted gross income of $789,674. The Obamas paid $162,074 in total tax – an effective federal income tax rate of 20.5%. The Obamas also reported donating approximately 22% of their income to charity — $172,130.

GSA Chief Martha N. Johnson Resigns Over Reports of Beyond Excessive & Wasteful Spending Clowns & Mind Readers for $823,000

I think we have come to learn who the real clowns are in Washington and who has been clowning around with our hard earned tax payer dollars since Obama has taken office. We are now witness to more excessive spending and waste of the tax payers dollars from the Barack Obama administration. GSA Chief Martha N. Johnson resigns and two of her top deputies were fired after being caught in a disturbing report of complete contempt for tax payer money as the GSA wasted823,000 training conference, held for 300 individuals. Oh, but wait, they had clowns, it must have been worth it.

Clowning Around with We the People’s Money

The chief of the General Services Administration resigned, two of her top deputies were fired and four managers were placed on leave Monday amid reports of lavish spending at a conference off the Las Vegas Strip that featured a clown, a mind reader and a $31,208 reception.

Administrator Martha N. Johnson, in her resignation letter, acknowledged a “significant misstep” at the agency that manages real estate for the federal government. “Taxpayer dollars were squandered,” she wrote. At the start of her tenure in February 2010 she called ethics “a big issue for me.”

The leadership collapse came hours before GSA Inspector General Brian D. Miller released a scathing report on the $823,000 training conference, held for 300 West Coast employees at the M Resort and Casino, an opulent hotel in Henderson, Nev., just south of Las Vegas.

USA Today/Gallup Poll: A Majority of Americans Say Obama’s Presidency Has Been a Failure and Far Too Liberal

From USA Today comes a USA Today/Gallup poll that shows that a majority of Americans believe that Barack Obama’s Presidency has been a failure and that he is too liberal. America, if you think he is too liberal now, imagine what Obama will be like if he wins a second term and has nothing like reelection to stand in the way of his agenda?

Dissatisfaction with Obama’s economic leadership “has continued to be a weight on his shoulders even as people are becoming a bit more optimistic,” says Charles Franklin, a political scientist and director of a polling project at Marquette Law School in Milwaukee. “He still has a case to make to the public that their optimism for the future is the way they should judge him, rather than the slowness of the recovery that we’ve been experiencing.”

On Obama: Americans are more likely to say his presidency has been a failure than a success, 50%-44%. His favorable rating is 50%, higher than the GOP presidential contenders but lower than every nominee in the past five presidential contests at this point except Republican Bob Dole, who lost in 1996. A 51% majority say Obama is too liberal, and Americans are inclined to say they disagree with him on the issues that matter most to them. On the positive side, 58% say he has the personality and leadership qualities a president should have.

I guess these folks would be considered racists and clinging to their Bibles and guns by the MSM and Team Obama.

Rising Gas Prices Will Have a Reverse Job Approval Effect for Barack Obama in 2012 (UPDATE: Don’t Forget ‘Taxmageddon’ in 2013)

Gas pains equal Presidential job approval pains …

It is obvious to all that gas prices are on the rise. Prices are already at a record high for this time of the year at $3.53 a gallon, up .25 since January 1, 2012. Some  experts say that gas prices could reach a record $4.25 a gallon by late April. This is hardly good news for President Barack Obama. As the folks at Powerline have stated, Barack Obama has gas pains. Normally Obama would not care that gas prices are high, that is what all “greenies” want; however, not during an election year. Especially when the rising gas prices would affect any minor improvement in the US economy.

First, Obama, like all right-thinking greenies, want gasoline prices to be higher, though, to be sure, they want high prices brought about by a government tax rather than the marketplace.  High gas prices are no fun if it means more profits for private oil companies.  Obama admitted this directly when asked about high gas prices in 2008, when he said he didn’t have a problem with them, only that he “would have preferred a gradual adjustment.”  Well, prices have crept up gradually since they collapsed back to about $2 a gallon in 2008.  So what’s his problem?

Obama Green Energy Failure: Fisker Automotive Received More than Half-Billion Dollars in Federal Loans … Laying off Workers at their Delaware & California Plants

Another Barack Obama “green” energy failure …

Fisker Automotive, a California based electric car start up company that received $529 million in loans to produce two lines of plug-in hybrid cars, is laying off workers in Delaware and California. Wow, who could have predicted that this would have been a waste of tax payer money? After all, as the Lonely Conservative reminds us the electric car goes for such a paltry cost of $100,000.

Delaware’s News Journal reports that Fisker Automotive, a California-based electric car start-up company, is laying off an undisclosed number of staff to try to reserve enough capital in order to qualify for more federal help from the Department of Energy, according to a Delaware state development official.

“They’re trying to preserve the cash that they have,” said Alan Levin told the News Journal. “And unfortunately, until they meet the milestone that DOE continues to set … they’re not able to access the additional capital that they need.”

The company also came under fire last year for taking federal loans while producing cars in Finland. Company officials told ABC News at the time that “there was no contract manufacturer in the U.S. that could actually produce our vehicle.” The company was working on reopening a shuttered General Motors plant in Wilmington to produce vehicles — an effort that top Obama administration officials lauded.

So lets get this correct. Obama’s answer to US jobs and the economy is wasteful spending to “green” companies like Solydra and Fisker … but The One says no to the  Keystone XL pipeline. We all know that Obama’s funding of these companies had nothing to do with jobs and everything to do with politics. Obama must go in 2012.

Its Back … Artist Jon McNaughton Depicts Barack Obama Trampling The Constitution in “The Forgotten Man”

ART, A POWERFUL REMINDER …

Certain works of art just have a way of resurfacing over and over again … as does “The Forgotten Man” depicting Barack Obama trampling the US Constitution. What a powerful piece of art showing a man sitting on a park bench, representing “We the People,” as he tries to find the American dream as an overwhelming expansion of government is trust upon him. All the Presidents of the past look upon the government of today and Barack Obama trampling on out freedoms, liberty and Constitution.

As the artist Jon McNaughton says in the below VIDEO, actions speak louder than words, as does the brush strokes of his painting … “Mr President, you took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States”. If you have not already seen this video, I suggest you do so.

In front of the White House a man is sitting on a park bench in the throes of depression. He is surrounded by all 43 presidents. In the forefront, purposefully ignoring the depressed man is President Obama, whose right foot is stepping on the Constitution. James Madison is next to Obama, pleading with him to stop.

“For a long time I didn’t know if I wanted to paint this picture, because I worried it might be too controversial,” McNaughton explains in a voice over. “(T)his man (on the park bench) represents every man, woman, and child who is an American… he hopes to find the American dream of happiness and prosperity.

“But now because of unconstitutional acts imposed by the American people by our government we stand on the precipice of disasters,” he added.

Barack Obama Plays Politics at National Prayer Breakfast … Justifies His Taxing the Rich Because that is What Jesus Would Do

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO OBAMA’S SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE?

Dear Barack Obama, there is only one Messiah, please do not believe your press clippings that you are the Obamamessiah. Trust me, you are hardly the “One” we have been waiting for.

Yesterday at the National Prayer Breakfast, President Barack Obama decided to make the event what all his events are … political. The One took the opportunity to justify his taxes on the rich because that is what Jesus would tax the rich. Really Mr. President. Just curious, what ever happened to separation of Church and State? Oh that’s right, you only use that when its convenient for you. What a shock that Obama would do the unthinkable and use a religious event for his partisan policies.

The rich should pay more not only because “I actually think that is going to make economic sense, but for me as a Christian, it also coincides with Jesus’s teaching that ‘for unto whom much is given, much shall be required,’” Obama said at the Washington Hilton, delivering remarks at an annual event that every president has attended since Dwight D. Eisenhower.

“We can all benefit from turning to our Creator, listening to him,” Obama said. “Avoiding phony religiosity. … This is especially important right now when we’re facing some big challenges as a nation.”

Obama infused his remarks on spirituality with a populist message of economic fairness, echoing rhetoric he unveiled in December in Osawatomie, Kan., and returned to in his State of the Union address last week. Without countering his Republican presidential opponents head on, Obama offered a contrast to Mitt Romney’s positions on class and wealth.

The Lonely Conservative has the VIDEO so no one can spin that he either did not say it, or that it was not meant to be political.

What else would we expect from a man who learned Christianity at a church whose pastor would rant, “God damn America”. Or as the Gateway Pundit says, “Barack Obama is his Bother’s keeper, except for his own brother George.” A President who at every chance attacks religion, now cloaks himself in it to justify taxing the rich. Really Barack, is that all you got out of the Bible?

Barack Obama talks about everyone else having to pay taxes, yet when it comes  to giving of himself with charitable contributions, its a joke.  Why all of a sudden has Obama tried to evoke religion into the political discourse? Interestingly enough, no where during his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast did he refer to any Christians he wanted to tax as clinging to their Bibles. Go figure.

As the Bible teaches us, beware of false prophets. The tax comments are shallow words coming from a man who is the most polarizing President ever!  What would Jesus say about that.
