Obama Plan to End Oil Tax Breaks Taps Controversy

When I had originally seen this little bit of hog wash in the SOTU speech I assumed it was the standard commie/Dem attack on “big oil” by advocating removing the business cost of their work.  Theoretically you only pay taxes on profits and profit = net sales – business costs. But, the government, particularly Dems have a habit of making rules that say stuff like “drilling a dry well is not a legitimate cost and therefore you can not add that to your costs”. They call it a “loophole” or a “tax break” at the same time they give their favorite businesses direct payment subsidies and credits.

That is what I fully expected this time but it is really not the case. What they are doing this time is even further out there. Beginning in the 2005 energy bill which, thanks to RINOs like McCain produced no energy but did produce boondoggles, we started getting loads of tax breaks, credits, and huge subsidies for all things deemed to be “green”. Stuff like, solar, wind, geothermal, and the biggest scam boondoggle of them all, ethanol.

What Obama is intending to do now I change the rules to remove evil oil companies from being able to get those same tax breaks as the other companies. You know, those nice “green” energy pork projects like Chinese solar companies which are taking all the factories that federal and State dollars have built.

Well, I have some news for Obama and for the Republican Party as well. Yes, kill these “tax breaks” and subsidies for the oil companies on BS green energy. But do it in a fair and Constitutional manner, kill them for everyone. We can’t afford to be throwing money we don’t have into these never ending boondoggles and holes in the ground.

3 More Bull Shit from the sharp legal minds at AP.

 

GOP invokes 1700s doctrine in health care fight (via Drudge)

You know that you are in for some real out there bullshit when the headline starts it out with an outright lie.

BOISE, Idaho – Republican lawmakers in nearly a dozen states are reaching into the dusty annals of American history to fight President Obama's health care overhaul.

They are introducing measures that hinge on "nullification," Thomas Jefferson's late 18th-century doctrine that purported to give states the ultimate say in constitutional matters.

So, it is not the “GOP” but a few States who are invoking the nullification doctrine. In addition, the original theory of “nullification” was put forth by Jefferson and Madison in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1798 and 1799. These were written before Marbury and had strong legal basis contrary to the BS listed below.

The efforts are completely unconstitutional in the eyes of most legal scholars because the U.S. Constitution deems federal laws "the supreme law of the land." The Idaho attorney general has weighed in as well, branding nullification unconstitutional.

Those above bolded words need to be changed the more truthful “most big government liberal rubber Constitution scholars”.

First off one must take into account why these resolutions were written to begin with. On the surface they were written to thwart the actions of the Alien and Sedition Acts which were COMPLETELY unconstitutional.They were written by Adam’s congress and signed into law by him to stifle criticism of his administration in the quasi-war with France. The Constitution is silent on who, or what organism of the government has the responsibility to determine whether or not an act of congress or any other portion of the federal government is “unconstitutional”. There was absolutely NOTHING in the Constitution that gave any basis for the usurpation of that power by the Supreme Court in 1803 by the cabal of Marshall and Adams. Note that it should be readily apparent from these and other actions that Adams was the first of the “big government liberals” from MA.

The other question that arises out of the attack on nullification is why the liberals never mention the call for nullification from the Hartford Convention when the big government liberals of the day were calling for that when the war of 1812 was ongoing.

In any case, the AP article leaves out some key wording in that BS statement about the Constitution.

U.S. Constitution deems federal laws "the supreme law of the land."

What it actually says is this:

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

In other words, the laws must be made “in pursuance” to the Constitution. If a law is in contradiction to the Constitution then it is NOT the Supreme law of the land. What Jefferson and Madison said was that the federal government could not be the judge of how much power the federal government had under the Constitution because it was a conflict of interest. Since the Constitution was a contract between the States then it should be a matter for the States to judge compliance and they should have the ability to nullify laws they considered unconstitutional within their own State. These ideas were later expanded upon by John C. Calhoun over the Tariffs of Abomination (no not slavery).

So as you can see, “nullification” has just as much legitimacy under the Constitution, if not more so, than giving it all to the Supreme Court under Marbury v. Madison.We can see where Marbury has taken us today. Under Marbury and a politicized court, the Constitution means nothing more than the desired political outcome of 5 un-elected hacks.That is NOT what the founders had in mind.

And on that score, I will certainly take the words of Jefferson and Madison over the sharp legal minds at AP and their so-called experts.

 

4 Good morning!  More insomnia...  grrrr.

Weird occurrence out this way.

Dugway Proving Ground, in UtahÂ’s western desert, was placed on lockdown Wednesday evening.

Al Vogel, a public affairs specialist for the installation, would only say that the lockdown began at 5:24 p.m. Employees were not allowed to leave, and those coming to work were not allowed in. Vogel said there were no injuries, no damage and no threats reported at the proving ground. There were about 1,200 to 1,400 people at Dugway when the lockdown occurred.

Dugway Proving Ground is a U.S. Army testing and training base in Tooele County where military weapons are tested.

I think they test chemical and biological weapons.

Good Lord, the House needs to hurry up and zero out the WH travel budget. Not only is Obama flying all over the country using taxpayer money to campaign (illegal) but there is this:

First lady to speak at Fort Jackson today

“Fort Jackson is extremely proud to host this visit,” Maj. Gen. James Milano, the fort’s commander, said. “The first lady is very interested in several topics that we consider vital to national interest … These are important issues, and we deal with them daily.”

Only about one-quarter of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 can qualify to get into the military, due primarily to weight, as well as moral, medical and educational challenges, Milano said.

That is some serious WTF crap there. The military has now been subverted into trying to make MoochellÂ’s BS eating scam national defense. What a big waste of money here. And we are finding it hard to cut the budget????

My driveway isn't that big, so a snowblower works fine unless we have a huge amount of snow. Last night we got about one foot, and it took me less than one hour. Not too bad. And the only reason I did it so early was my wife had an early meeting and couldn't get out of the driveway, courtesy of the town plows.

For that particular report, the author Pachauri made a claim that the Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035.  That claim wasn't even in one of Michael Mann's "peer-reviewed" journals, but rather a WWF report.

This story is significant in that it describes people actually going out there and taking true measurements of glacier advance or retreat.  Of course, the story assumes that the Earth is warming up, but at least one news outfit is willing to be honest about what researchers are truly finding in the field.

Obama adm weighs in on Egyptian rioters

I guess we truly do have James Carter II here folks. Is there no foreign policy question in the M.E. that he can not screw up?

The Obama administration on Wednesday voiced its support for the Egyptian peopleÂ’s rights to freedom of expression and assembly, as a second day of protests in Cairo saw police using tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse stone-throwing demonstrators.

37 Trying to figure out the latest birth certificate information. Let's go chronologically.

In or around 1961, the man we today know as Barack Obama was born somewhere.

Neil Abercrombie saw Barack Obama when BO was a child playing t-ball. Abercrombie remembers him being with his dad, a black man. This contradicts Obama's story that he lived in Indonesia in roughly the mid to late 60s. It also contradicts the truth that Obama and Stanley Dunham were divorced by the time that any kid born in 1961 would be playing t-ball.

In the 1980s, Mike Evans became friends with Neil Abercrombie.

At some point, Mike Evans became a celebrity journalist. He has about 34 radio morning shows that he calls in and gives reports to.

In 2008, Barack Obama ran for President of the United States. After many questions about where he was born, a media ally of Obama published a digital image on its web page. The image seems to resemble what an official Hawaii Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) (or "short-form birth certificate) does look like, as issued in recent years. The certificate number portion of the COLB was blacked out, despite that number having no privacy implications.  A state law in Hawaii does not limit the issuance of a COLB to someone who is actually born in Hawaii. They can be issued for other reasons to other people. The image of the certificate lists Honolulu as Obama's city of birth. Due to the existence of digital editing technology, forgery of the image cannot be ruled out.

Subsequently, there have been several lawsuits exploring various legal theories in an attempt to subpoena Obama's long-form birth certificate from the State of Hawaii, or to obtain other factual information about Obama's birth. Obama has spent millions of dollars in legal fees fighting some lawsuits. Additionally, the Justice Department, under Obama appointee Eric Holder, has fought a lawsuit filed by a military service member who sought proof that Obama is eligible under the Constitution to hold the office of President of the United States. Taxpayer funds were spent in fighting that lawsuit. So far, the State of Hawaii has never been subpoenaed with regard to Obama's birth certificate. All of these lawsuits could have been instantly quashed had Obama either (1) sent approximately $20 to the State of Hawaii to receive his long-form birth certificate, and then allow courts, and additionally multiple, reputable news organizations to physically inspect the document; or (2) signed an affidavit that would take five minutes to type up which would simply give those organizations his permission to request his birth certificate from the State of Hawaii. Despite the simplicity and ease of options 1 and 2, Obama has opted to fight the lawsuits and not release a long-form birth certificate.

On January 20, 2011, Mike Evans gave his reports to his stations. On all but one he said that no hospital in Hawaii has any record of Barack Obama being born there. But to the station KQRS in Minnesota, he said something different. Evans said to KQRS: "Yesterday, talking to Neil's office, Neil says that he searched everywhere using his powers as governor ..... there is no Barack Obama birth certificate in Hawaii."

On January 26, 2011, an audio recording of what Evans said to KQRS was linked by the Drudge Report. A short time later, Evans made a statement to FoxNews.com that he has not spoken to Neil Abercrombie about the birth certificate. Evans maintained his statement that no hospital in Hawaii has a record of Obama's birth. Nor did Evans take back his statement that he had spoken to Neil Abercrombie's office.

I think that about sums it up, where we are right now.

It has become clear that Obama is an impostor.

As I pointed out before, I think I curse at least as much as anybody here but there's a difference between what is done on an internet site anonymously and what one does as a public figure's daughter in public.  And I'm basing it on more than just that but didn't want to take up space with what is ultimately just my OPINION.  But it's also my opinion based on having raised two daughters and knowing how I'd feel if either of them acted in public like she does.

Guns in churches offer a powerful contradiction to claims of faith in 'God's protection'

I know the bigger issue for a lot of people with this bill is mixing guns and bars — and with obvious good reason. I don't care how much of a Second Amendment advocate you are, you're an absolute fool if you try to pretend that you don't understand general societal uneasiness about that recipe.

But for me, the guns-in-church concept has always been more fascinating. I mean, nobody at a bar or sports stadium is standing around trying to convince you that some mystical magical force is out there guiding and protecting your life, nobody who's sober anyway. Glenlivet may taste good, and the Pistons may thrill you. But it's supposedly Jesus who saves, right?

But wait...isn't that what your god is supposed to do? Isn't walking into a church armed tantamount to admitting that you know good and well your god won't defend you, that your god doesn't stop bullets or crazy people who may shoot them? Isn't faith supposed to trump firearms, inside "god's house" at the very least?
Oh, I'm sure someone will give me the "free will" speech, explaining how his god doesn't tell people what to do or how god empowers you to secure your own fate. OK...then why would I go to church to "worship" something that, when the bullets start flying, is sure to leave me to my own survival skills anyway?   (He gave you many chances to buy a gun, didn't he?!  -ed)

......
But I do think that's a very powerful confession, whether you want to own up to making it or not. You're choosing technology over mysticism, your own good reason and common sense over supernatural hoodoo. (Just as you do every time you choose science-based medicine over Benny Hinn.) Sure, you may talk that stuff about resurrections and arks — but when pressed up against real-world issues like violence and their real-world consequences, like you being dead, you cut the crap and reach for the Beretta instead of the Bible.
You cling to the guns, and let the religion fall to the wayside.

Reporting from San Diego —

Deported from Canada to Tunisia three years ago, Muslim cleric Said Jaziri was found hiding in the trunk of a BMW near the Mexican border.

U.S. border authorities have arrested a controversial Muslim cleric who was deported from Canada to Tunisia three years ago and was caught earlier this month trying to sneak into California in the trunk of a BMW, according to court documents.

Said Jaziri, the former imam of a Muslim congregation in Montreal, was hidden in a car driven by a San Diego-area man who was pulled over by U.S. Border Patrol agents near an Indian casino east of San Diego on Jan. 11. Jaziri had allegedly paid a Tijuana-based smuggling group $5,000 to get him across the border near Tecate, saying he wanted to be taken to a "safe place anywhere in the U.S."

85 Obama adm weighs in on Egyptian rioters I guess we truly do have James Carter II here folks. Is there no foreign policy question in the M.E. that he can not screw up? The Obama administration on Wednesday voiced its support for the Egyptian peopleÂ’s rights to freedom of expression and assembly, as a second day of protests in Cairo saw police using tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse stone-throwing demonstrators. Posted by: Vic at January 27, 2011 08:09 AM (M9Ie6) And El-Barade has thrown in with the rioters. It's not like we didn't always know he was an Islamist? Yup it looks like Egypt is going down and with it the Israeli-Egpyt Peace Treaty ( such as it was?) and the Middle East is about to enter a new dark age under the Obama Administration. But that should take out minds off the Debt.

86 9  I've heard of Dugway Proving Ground before and yes, they do test bio/chem defensive systems there.  Its also been dubbed "Area 52" because of all the supposed UFO sightings in the area.

I was under the impression that Area 52 was somewhere in *eastern* Utah.

I lived at Dugway when I was in 4th grade; my father was a minty-fresh CID detective stationed there to investigate a murder. I used to go for long walks in the desert. Of course, this was before I had any clue what they did out in that desert...

If i could offer some unsolicited advice to Palin, it would be to stay out of the media for a few months. It's not like people are going to forget about her, and I don't think she is helping herself by commenting on everything that happens in this country.

She should be concerned about oversaturation.

What happens with the Suez Canal will be interesting if Egypt falls to the Brotherhood.  We pay a pretty penny to use it with military supplies to Egypt to move our strike groups through it.

we'll regret not letting the French, British and Israelis take it in 1956.

Too many countries have a vested interest in that canal being open. I think that if the Brotherhood were to close it, we could potentially see China's first foray into the middle east militarily

A Labor Department official said snow in four southern states in previous weeks created a backlog of claims that were processed last week. While the economy has improved, it hasnÂ’t been enough to reduce an unemployment rate that Federal Reserve policy makers said yesterday is too high and requires pressing ahead with a $600 billion stimulus plan.

 

So last week the MFM touts the lower unemployment number and the recovering economy but was really just a result of snow. But the economy is still improving comrades because Barry and the MFM tell us it is.

95 El Baradei is one of the presidential candidates to replace Mubarak.  So is Mubarak's son.  My Egyptian buddy (Coptic) supports the demonstrators and wants Mubarak gone but doesn't seriously think the Islamists can win the government.  I disagree.  It is curious that he is outraged about the attacks on the Coptics by Islamists but won't support Israel's fight for survival.  Part of that is nationalism for sure, his father was career Army and they lost the wars.  But I think somehow the reflexive anti Israel sentiment gets in the DNA of even the Christians.

I think you're right for now, but they've been slowly creeping there power projection further and further out there. Keep in mind that they've been projected their power to offf the somali coast to protect it's shipping there.

Egypt isn't too far away.  I know they have "forces" under the guise of Business Security all throughout Africa, based mainly to protect natural resources that have purchased or leased from African nations.

I wouldn't be suprised that if the Canal were to be closed that China would be involved in re-opening it. It could be the first issue in a long time where all the major powers came down on the same side.

Think of how important the canal is to  every  major nation. China needs it open to send goods to Europe. Russia needs to to send goods to and from the Black Sea to and from other nations. Germany, England, and France depend on Chinese goods and fuels from other nations coming through the straights. And we need it so that our naval vessels can move easily from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean.

Yeh, recycled ideas. But we knew that:

blah blah... "light to the world." The last president who set such a mission for the nation he led, and in those exact words, was Woodrow Wilson.

Obama’s concept of the “American family” may well have had its origins in the first State of the State address New York Governor Mario Cuomo delivered in 1983. Cuomo proclaimed the state of New York as a “family.” He also talked about multiple partnerships, both public and private.

In an address to the Heritage Foundation in the early 1990, Margaret Thatcher delivered what might go down as the most memorable line in Obama’s second State of the Union address. The British Prime Minister told her American audience that the United States was the “first nation to have been founded on an idea.” It took the president a few additional words to get this idea across.

Obama’s pointed mutterings about a second “Sputnik Moment” being upon us and his recollection of how American policymakers responded to the last one with increased expenditures on infrastructure, science, technology, and education were clearly intended to evoke the spirit of Dwight D. Eisenhower. His setting of specific deadlines and goals was vintage JFK, but for the absence of any sense of challenge to his audience, list of benefits the United States would derive from them, or any semblance of a shared adventure the American people were about to embark upon

Okay, I could quote the whole thing. From InstaP's link to US News, despite what I said earlier.

128 Re: the birth certificate laws.

I am sure it will be challenged and probably have to go to the Supreme Court,  since the Ninth Circuit simply rubber stamps anything Obama wants.

However,  it will be a public action challenging the laws,  and the GOP should just keep saying "Why waste all of this taxpayer money challenging the laws?  Why not just produce the darn birth certificate?"

And it will give us an opening to demand that he produce his grades, passport records, writings, bar association appliation,  etc. etc.  AND medical records!

Despite the flowery rhetoric, the President doesnÂ’t seem to understand that
individuals make America great, not the federal government. American greatness
lies in the courage and hard work of individual innovators and entrepreneurs.
America is an exceptional nation in part because we have historically been a
country that rewards and affirms individual initiative and offers people the
freedom to invest and create as they see fit – not as a government bureaucrat
does. Yes, government can play an appropriate role in our free market by
ensuring a level playing field to encourage honest competition without picking
winners and losers. But by and large, government should get out of the way.
Unfortunately, under President ObamaÂ’s leadership, government growth is in our
way, and his “big government greatness” will not help matters.

Consider what his “big government greatness” really amounts to. It’s
basically a corporatist agenda – it’s the collaboration between big government
and the big businesses that have powerful friends in D.C. and can afford to hire
big lobbyists. This collaboration works in a manner that distorts and corrupts
true free market capitalism. This isnÂ’t just old-fashioned big government
liberalism; this is crony capitalism on steroids. In the interests of big
business, we’re “investing” in technologies and industries that venture
capitalists tell us are non-starters, but which will provide lucrative returns
for some corporate interests who have major investments in these areas. In the
interests of big government, weÂ’re not reducing the size of our bloated
government or cutting spending, we’re told the President will freeze it – at
unsustainable, historic levels! In practice, this means that public sector
employees (big governmentÂ’s staunchest defenders) may not lose jobs, but
millions of Americans in the private sector face lay offs because the
ever-expanding government has squeezed out and crippled our economy under the
weight of unsustainable debt.

Ronald Reagan said, “You can’t be for big government, big taxes, and big
bureaucracy and still be for the little guy.” President Obama’s proposals last
night stick the little guy with the bill, while big government and its big
corporate partners prosper. The plain truth is our country simply cannot afford
Barack Obama’s dream of an “exceptionally big government” that may help the big
guys, but sticks it to the rest of us.

As the flood waters were rising, a man was on the stoop of his house and another man in a row boat came by. The man in the row boat told the man on the stoop to get in and he'd save him. The man on the stoop said, no, he had faith in God and would wait for God to save him. The flood waters kept rising and the man had to go to the second floor of his house. A man in a motor boat came by and told the man in the house to get in because he had come to rescue him. The man in the house said no thank you. He had perfect faith in God and would wait for God to save him. The flood waters kept rising. Pretty soon they were up to the man's roof and he got out on the roof. A helicopter then came by, lowered a rope and the pilot shouted down in the man in the house to climb up the rope because the helicopeter had come to rescue him. The man in the house wouldn't get in. He told the pilot that he had faith in God and would wait for God to rescue him. The flood waters kept rising and the man in the house drowned. When he got to heaven, he asked God where he went wrong. He told God that he had perfect faith in God, but God had let him drown.

180 127 mph was the old record from 1906. The Brits went 148 mph in 2009.

181 Thanks, t-bird.

182 By the way, the company behind the engine has some fascinating ideas. An external combustion engine which has, by nature, low noxious emissions. No transmissions necessary, no oil necessary, no exotic fuels necessary. A Volt-crusher.

183 When is the Federal Government going to realize we just don't have the money?

184 Blimps and high-speed rail. I feel like we're reliving "Wild, Wild West". Win The Past.

185 Yeah. I could only watch about 2 minutes of the "greatest action scene ever" clip. When it got to the part where he turned into a giant ball and started rolling over and shooting the soldiers/cops, I turned it off.

186 I was just wondering, since there's so much "news" about there not being a birth certificate in HI for The Won, if it's true Barry can't be a NBC because his dad was a British subject at his birth, doesn't that make Sasha and Malia dual citizens as well.

And, if removed and incarcerated/extricated, what would happen to Moo-shell and the girls?

I know it's way out there, because we have to get someone with backbone to say he's ineligible.  It doesn't matter that everyday more and more of the voting public is learning about the fraud.
