We're All Honkies Now: Monstrous Obama Tax Hikes Soon to Bleed this Country White

If you think the economy's tanking now...

Just wait until this hits the fan on December 31st -less than 6 mos from now: huge tax increases that will not only crush our frail economy, but go-against hours of hopenchangey hogwash and unambiguous prior Obama pledges to not increase taxes "one dime" on the middle-class (some would call them "lies").  In reality, the working-poor, families, and investors in our economy will actually be getting soaked he worst: 

-Obama Tax Increases-

Personal Income Taxes:

10% bracket goes to...      15%         Increase: +50%

25% bracket goes to...      28%         Increase: +12%

28% bracket goes to...      31%         Increase: +11%

33% bracket goes to...      36%         Increase: +10%

36% bracket goes to...      39.6         Increase: +10%

Capital Gains Tax: 

Now: 15%   Dec. 31st: 20%   Increase: +33%

The marriage penalty returns... as does the Inheritance Tax... at a wealth-redistributing 55% for estates over $1M

Dividends: 

Now taxed at 15% jump to 39.6%... a +164% increase

And that's not all: there's two more waves of tax hikes coming down the pike already to pay for the largely-unwanted ObamaCare power-grab, along with all the rest of these power-mad fiends' pedal-to-the-metal spending, legislative bribes, and political-backer payoffs... which tripled the annual deficit for 2010.

So limousine liberals, you had your fun... and probably almost broke your arm patting yourself on the back after you went out and cast your vote for Obama.  Now you self-righteous posers are getting what you deserve.... Dear Leader is going to tax the crap out of you.

Anybody else still voting Democrat this fall -seriously- ought to have their head examined... or just move to Cuba already, the rest of us want our country back-

Rock n Roll Oldies: The Velvet Underground

The Velvet Underground was an American rock band formed in New York City, initially active from 1965 to 1973.  The best-known members were Lou Reed and John Cale, who both went on to find success as solo artists- the legendary Andy Warhol also manged them for three years. Although never commercially successful, the band is often cited by many critics as one of the most important and influential groups of the 60s- trailblazers well-ahead of their time.

The Velvet Underground first gained a degree of fame and in 1966 Manhattan when they were selected as the house band for Andy Warhol's Factory and other events. The lyrics challenged conventional societal standards of the time, and broke ground for other musicians to do the same. They favored experimentation, and also introduced a nihilistic outlook through some of their music. Their outsider attitude and experimentation has since been cited as pivotal to the rise of punk, new wave, and alternative rock.

The 1967 debut album, titled The Velvet Underground & Nico (German singer Nico collaborated with the band) was named the 13th Greatest Album of All Time, and "most prophetic rock album ever made" by Rolling Stone in 2003.

It was at band manager Andy Warhol's insistence that Nico sang with the band on three songs of their debut album, recorded primarily in Scepter Studios in New York City during April 1966, and released in March 1967. And the album cover is also famous for its Warhol design: a yellow banana with “Peel slowly and see” printed near a perforated tab. Those who did remove the banana skin found a pink, peeled banana beneath...

Ten Buck Fridays is Here...

As our troubled nation recently entered the 4-mo all-out political war leading up to midterm elections, blogger  Conscientiously Conservative came up with this concept of donating $10 to a worthy conservative candidate every Friday from now up-until midterms in November- and what a great idea: dubbed Ten buck Fridays, it's really caught on... there are now over 70 New Media conservatives allied in the effort.

Blogger RightKlik then initiated a weekly poll for each week's featured Reaganite-type true conservative for us all to focus on supporting in a key 2010 race.  And while $10 is great, $20 is even better... but don't be shy about kicking them five bucks if that's all you can spare right now, it all adds up and there's indeed strength in our numbers... these unsolicited Ten Buck Fridays money bombs will surely be more than welcome.

This week's winner? Conservative Hideout 2.0 has the news and some background on him, links to his official campaign site, as well as a secure online-donation link right below the candidate's statement -here-

Senate Dems Abandon Cap-n-Trade Bill

Climate-change legislation finally dead?
Ram-through still possible in November lame-duck session...

xx

The Washington Post reports:

Conceding they can't find enough votes for the measure, Senate Democrats will announce Thursday they are abandoning for now efforts to put together a comprehensive energy bill that would seek to limit greenhouse gas emissions, ending the immediate prospect for a key legislative priority of President Obama and congressional Democrats. 

Instead, Democrats, according to sources, will push for a more limited bill that would seek to increase liability costs that oil companies would pay following spills such as the one in the Gulf of Mexico and would create additional incentives for the purchase of both natural gas vehicles and products that can be used to reduce energy use in homes. And they have not ruled out pushing for a more comprehensive bill during the session Congress will have after the November election. 

Efforts to put together a major bill to limit carbon emissions and encourage the use of alternative energy sources had long been considered doomed in the Senate, even though the House has approved a bill that would set a limit on overall emissions of greenhouse gases while allowing utilities and other emitters to trade pollution permits. 

Senate Democrats had remained deeply divided on the issue... and there was virtually no GOP support on the issue... The decision by Democrats mean that two major issues they had pledged to take on this year, energy reform and immigration, could remain unresolved before the midterm elections...

And you know the Senate would have forced it through for Dear Leader if they felt it politically possible... but with today's all-time record low congressional approval of 11%, they're right to worry: besides the fact that they just can't scrape up enough votes for Obama's far-Left agenda any longer, there's a 

harsh retribution coming in November, just 14 weeks from now... and you can take that to the bank.

Still More Sickening Racism from a Vengeful and Warped Team Obama

Operation Get Whitey is backfiring... BIG-time

xxx

xxx

If the White House over-reacted in the firing of Shirley Sherrod, they've got only themselves to blame for creating a situation where they're so paranoid of any further illumination of their racial agenda that WH damage-control mechanisms are on DefCon1. And while Obama likely has no plans to dial-back this stealthy little race war, he's plenty keen to keep it off-the-radar...

xxx

Regardless of how well Breitbart may or may not have handled it -and despite the Left's current narrative- Shirley Sherrod is no saint: her admission that she discriminated against whites in the past is still not acceptable -sure wouldn't be if the roles were reversed- and seriously damages her credibility for a position that doles out government largess. Sherrod is also heard on another tape slandering not just the entire GOP, but all good-faith opponents of ObamaCare as inherently "racist" -here-

xxx

On top of that, this lady appears to be a scammer:  Shirley Sherrod was among the largest beneficiaries of a corrupt and dubious lawsuit brought by black farmers against the USDA, and now reportedly prefers suing the government for wrongful termination to accepting generous federal job offers... what an opportunistic scumbag, but that's what kind of creature the victimhood culture breeds- one that can justify taking just about whatever they want to from you.

xxx

Is Barack Obama racist- and hell-bent on revenge? Hard to fathom how a guy so thoroughly  blessed by the American system -with plenty of race-based assistance and favoritism along the way- could be so bitter and harbor a feeling of being wronged somehow... looks like a pretty blessed life from where I'm standing, famous and powerful millionaire who's never really worked a day in his life... we should all be so charmed. 
xxx
He's not alone, either: most of the world's black millionaires are American... although the others probably worked a bit harder than the Bolshevik Boy Wonder did to get there. But Obama isn't one to let reality get in the way of how his noggin has been hard-wired: the racial and class theories that angry commie freak Frank Marshall Davis poisoned his young mind with are closely intertwined... and seem to have made a lasting impression on young Barry.

xxx

So maybe Obama's schmaltzy "beer summit" took minds off his telling initial reaction, which was to promptly side with the obnoxious -and just plain wrong- Harvard "African-American Studies" professor HL Gates over the blue-collar white cop just doing his job... one that likely often involves dealing with some uncooperative fool screaming "racism" all the way to the jail, I suppose.

xxx

And it's possible some people might have been snookered by Obama's innocent act when his embittered and twisted Marxist preacher of 20 yrs -Reverend Jeremiah Wright- was exposed for the anti-American, racist con-artist that he actually is. Typically, Obama professed to be "shocked", dismayed, and "I, too, was surprised to learn..." (lolol~ stop!)

xxx

But how could Obama's repeated slights and snubbing of our nation's closest ally -Britain- be understood as anything but a grudge based on what their grandparents did in Kenya 50-100 years ago? Obama acts like he was enslaved in some colony, rather than spoiled and handed everything a man could ever want in America... success based upon a "minority" status that he and his malcontent of a wife exploited to the fullest. Any appreciation ever from these two?  Of course not- all the country ever gets in return from ingrateful leftist race-hustlers like the Obamas is their never-ending contempt.

xxx

Surely we should be asking a few more questions then about the outdated and unpopular affirmative-action racial quotas -that will effect millions- secretly snuck-into the Porkulus' $800B... ObamaCare's trillion$... and even Wall St hiring rules (based on race) inflicted stealthily in the midst of a recent regulatory tsunami. 
xxx

xxx

The reality is that 55% of Americans oppose such government racial quotas- but I guess we all should just lay-back and learn to enjoy it as we are denied jobs and educational opportunities... and while the country continues to pretend our president actually represents all Americans... or even something resembling a majority. 

xxx

Of course it's also hard to explain-away the way Eric Holder dropped the Black Panthers case like a hot potato...bizarrely claiming that a couple of guys in NBP military garb with black berets,  twirling nightsticks in front of a Philly polling station in 2008 weren't there to bother anyone- unreal. Despite the best efforts of the MSM to bury the story as well, Obama's giving these hate-filled criminal scum a pass -and for purely racial reasons- has shocked the nation, as many still believed the Obama "post-racial" spiel... up till now. 
xxx
Lest there be any doubt, recent tapes of New Black Panthers leaders shouting through bullhorns in public to "kill some cracker babies" did much to erase any ambiguity. This shameful episode has already taken a serious chunk out of Obama's frail poll numbers... including for the first time a plunge in Democratic support.

And now this: a TARP program Special Inspector has issued a report stating the forced closure -by many accounts ill-advised, arbitrary, and unnecessary- of hundreds of GM and Chrysler dealers in early 2009 -at the expense of over 100,000 jobs- was based on not just punishing Republican donors and whole rural areas that voted heavily for McCain... but also a stated priority of favoring minority dealerships... at the expense of white guys and their hapless employees, basically:

Decisions on which car dealerships to close as part of the auto industry bailout -closures the Obama administration forced on GM and Chrysler- were based in part on race and gender, according to a report by TARP Special Inspector General Neal M. Barofsky:

"...dealerships were retained because they were recently appointed, were key wholesale parts dealers, or were minority- or woman-owned dealerships. [Emphasis added.] 

Thus, to meet numbers forced on them by the Obama administration, General Motors and Chrysler were forced to shutter other, potentially more viable, dealerships. The livelihood of potentially tens of thousands of families was thus eliminated simply because their dealerships were not minority- or woman-owned. As has been widely reported, the Inspector General's study skewered the Obama Gang for strong-arming the companies into closing 2,000 dealerships, costing an estimated 100,000 people their jobs during a recession. 

But the news media has ignored key elements of Barofsky's report -elements that are far more damaging, if possible, to Obama. As we reported earlier in the week, a top Obama official, manufacturing czar and "Auto Team" leader Ron Bloom admitted that the dealerships could have been kept open, saving those jobs, "but that doing so would have been inconsistent with the President's mandate for 'shared sacrifice.'" 

Barofsky says the administration insisted on the closings even though a GM official told him that GM would usually save 'not one damn cent' by closing any particular dealership. ... Furthermore, a GM official stated that removing a dealership from the network does not save money for GM -it might even cost GM money... a reading of the IG's study makes plain that some dealership closings forced by the administration were based largely on politics.

Dick Morris duly notes that any race-based debates only hurt Obama politically -he ran as the post racial candidate, which he so clearly is not- while exposing him as weak and utterly incompetent -here-

Even shameless Obama-pumpers at Reuters see Dear Leader facing a "race mess"- one largely of his own making -here-

And it's arguable that the biggest villian in the Sherrod debacle is in-fact the NAACP... so says Bob at TCOTS -here-

Andrew Breitbart Shirley Sherrod Update

Twenty-First-Century Minuteman Andrew Breitbart really has the Left in a tizzy this time over the video he exposed of USDA official Shirley Sherrod boasting of denying a white farmer his due from the agency. This one is just as hard for Obama to distance himself from as the ACORN saga... interestingly also outed by Andrew Breitbart and his Big Government site.
xxx
Lonely Conservative has the clips of Shirley Sherrod's statements, where she tells the white farmer to go "get helped by one of his own" -here-. She went on to state that "Federal employees don't get fired"-- well, technically right in her case, ha... Sherrod was already forced to resign.xx
