Obama Doesn't Even Understand Basic Economics

FROM INDIVID: Although Gov. Palin NEVER had creationism taught in Alaska's schools, she was unfairly tarred with that lie by the Media. Yet, We have Obama pushing, as a major part of his platform, the equivalent in terms of economics, and the Networks, CNN, and other major leftist media outlets are silent. Obamanomics, which is not economics at all, but merely flat-Earth-ian, Creationist-style, relegated to the dustbin-type, Marxism, includes the heavy handed, felonious Robin Hood-type "stealing from the entrepreneurial, and giving to the poor". As this story documents , a blue collar plumber asked if Obama's tax plan would increase taxes on his small, start-up plumbing company. Obama's response was YES! "It's not that I want to punish your success," Obama told him. "I want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success, too.

THE "WAR ON TERROR" + TALIBANIZATION OF IRAQI WOMEN = ! With reference to an article I posted yesterday , I was sent this article ( I cancelled my subscription to that paper about 8 years ago ) about the desperation of women fleeing Iraq. Apologists here in the U.S will allow Islamofascist men to enroll in college on endless student visas and feel too much "political correctness" and allow these abusers of women and our personal freedoms into the U.S. with low to no background checks. I've had some men tell me that women can be high price escorts now and CHOOSE this professional and heck no, its not full of alcoholics and drug abusers. That's a damn lie because I've worked with some who've left that "business" in the last couple years. They will abuse prescription drugs like Prozac or Celexa because of the 'dissociation' necessary to 'to their jobs.' They often have permanent reproductive system damage from allowing so m...
