Ha! Think the President will sign this bill into law??
“We can’t wait for the President because his inaction will hurt the American economy and consumers through higher energy costs,” said Rep. Andy Harris. “The time to act is now and that’s why I’ve cosponsored H.R. 3548 which takes the authority to approve the Keystone Pipeline out of his hands. This bill allows the project to move forward and encourages economic growth and job creation through the construction of the pipeline.”

Yeah, what gives? Another political game of chicken? What concessions does he want now?

‘Among those opposed to the president’s decision is Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska. The “Obama administration’s decision to deny or delay the Keystone Pipeline project from moving forward is disappointing and frustrating,” Begich said. “I’ll continue to push the administration to approve this jobs-creating project.”
‘Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., lamented Obama’s decision as a “major setback for the American economy, American workers, and America’s energy independence.”
‘ “As our country has a continued need for oil, it only makes sense to me that we would buy it from our friends in Canada, rather than continuing to buy it from countries around the world that seek to do us harm,” Manchin said. “Why make a decision that could push Canada to build a pipeline to the West Coast of North America that would benefit countries such as China, not the United States? I truly believe any issues surrounding the pipeline could have been resolved if we had chosen to work together, but instead, the Administration has taken a different path.” ‘

“Motivation and positive thinking are a good start, but they’re insufficient for world-class success, because the minute you begin to transcend the boundaries of the middle-class mindset you’ll be attacked for the attempt. They’ll discourage you for trying and laugh at you for believing. They’ll tell you you’re unrealistic and foolish for dreaming. The only thing that will save you is mental toughness. It’s the realization that you can have and do anything if you’re willing to overcome the addiction to caring about what other people think.”

“I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.”
This is an absolute incredible idea thanks to Apple and Capitalism. I remember getting gouged on the price of college textbooks. There was virtually no competition for some of the texts and the major publishers had a stranglehold on the game. Along comes mobile e-readers, an awesome app-store and ibooks shopping interface, and now an authoring path where virtually anyone can get published. Competition is increased, time to market will be reduced, quality of service will go up, cost will go down. This is way better than any government run program could deliver!

‘The Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, founder and president of The Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, told The Christian Post that in studying King’s speeches, he could not conceive the civil rights leader heading a gay rights movement.

There is no ‘furor.’ Thank you national press for creating a worst-case-scenario out of every piece of information known to man. Thank you Romney and others who have invested in American businesses for the long term and left your money in the markets as a sign of conidence. The 15% long term capital gains tax rate is a means to incentivize investment. Those with money in the market take risk. There is no guarantee of investment income. How about years when the market is down and there are no capital gains- no income to be taxed? Where are the liberal class warfare complainers then?

In this situation of this Assembly, groping as it were in the dark to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happened, Sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of lights to illuminate our understandings? In the beginning of the Contest with G. Britain, when we were sensible of danger we had daily prayer in this room for the divine protection.-Our prayers, Sir, were heard, & they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance?
I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth that God Governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings, that “except the Lord build the House they labour in vain that build it.” I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better, than the Builders of Babel: We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and bye word down to future ages. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing Governments by Human wisdom and leave it to chance, war and conquest.
I therefore beg leave to move-that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the Clergy of this City be requested to officiate in that Service.

President Obama Rejects Keystone XL Pipeline Makes Wrong Choice on Job-Creation and Energy Independence
Washington, D.C. – Today, President Obama rejected one of the largest shovel ready projects in the nation when he stopped the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline. The pipeline would provide $20 billion in private investment to boost the American economy and create 20,000 jobs over the next two years. It would also provide America access to about 830,000 barrels of secure and reliable oil that will help ensure our energy future.
“We can’t wait for the President because his inaction will hurt the American economy and consumers through higher energy costs,” said Rep. Andy Harris. “The time to act is now and that’s why I’ve cosponsored H.R. 3548 which takes the authority to approve the Keystone Pipeline out of his hands. This bill allows the project to move forward and encourages economic growth and job creation through the construction of the pipeline.”

So the NAACP is fuming over the selectable ‘avoid ghetto’ feature of a GPS navigation device. The NAACP ought to be fuming over their poor record of advancing the standard of living for colored peoples. Return all those membership dues to the people, please!
This is being held up due to opposition from a few environmentalists? I just can’t see it. Must be a larger idealogical block in place. I don’t see commitment at the top to improve the economy. We’re great at borrowing to pay for unfunded liabilities, but here’s an opportunity to bring a huge asset into play and the leadership won’t find a way to make it work? Don’t blame that on the fringe environmentalists…
‘On Tuesday, Obama’s own jobs council suggested that it agrees with the pipeline concept. While not specifically mentioning Keystone in a report out Tuesday about improving competitiveness, the council said that when it comes to energy projects in general, the government needs to “expeditiously, though cautiously, move forward on projects that can support hundreds of thousands of jobs.” ‘
Ahem, we’ll pick our own candidates. Remember Nov 2010…’Nuff said

Race baiting says it all. How is it African American political figures get to make unbased racial allegations and automatically assume the role of victim? If one disagrees with the Obamas, it’s because of racial bias. If one supports Herman Cain, it’s because he’s a ‘house negro’ who knows his place among white folk. If one disagrees with how the Justice Dept handled Operations Fast and Furious, it’s because of racial bias against Eric Holder. If 9 out of 10 African Americans vote for Obama, how can it be based entirely on merit and not skin color?

It’s reported that the top 1% income earners pay 37% of all US personal income tax and over 30% of nationwide charitable giving. Sounds like they’re doing way more than their fair share! Mitt and others who have figured out how to achieve prosperity are to be commended for their example. Someone like him ought to be in charge for a while to help restore prosperity to the nation’s economy!

And I suppose in 6-9 months we’ll be receiving a request to increase the debt ceiling to over $17 TRILLION? Maybe the election will delay that request but it can’t be far off given spending habits of Washington.

The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
A rather gentle explanation of the difference in thinking between people with opposite outlooks.
A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.
She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch conservative, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.
One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs.
The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.
Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn’t even have time for a boyfriend, and didn’t really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.
Her father listened and then asked, “How is your friend Audrey doing?”
She replied, “Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She’s always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn’t even show up for classes because she’s too hung over.”
Her wise father asked his daughter, “Why don’t you go to the Dean’s office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.”
The daughter, visibly shocked by her father’s suggestion, angrily fired back, “That’s a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I’ve worked really hard for my grades! I’ve invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!”
The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, “Welcome to the conservative side of the fence.”
Maryland Democrats are going to challenge Andy Harris (R-1st) on the basis he didn’t do enough to challenge the debt ceiling increase. Are you kidding me? Ladies and gentlemen, you only have to look to your own party leadership for accountability on that one. The Democrat-pushed debt increase from $14 Trillion to $15 Trillion is long forgotten and the President is now asking Congress to increase the debt ceiling to $16 Trillion. Remember that a trillion is a million millions!
Okay, this is hysterical. Mitt says ‘Stuff the ice chest!’

If you want to be President, show me how you’re going to reduce spending and reduce our debt. Incumbent and challengers are on report to respond!
—
President Obama’s 2012 budget shows the debt soaring past $26 trillion a decade from now. Last summer’s deficit reduction deal could reduce that to $24 trillion.

Worthy cause if he can successfully navigate the primaries! Money’s on Mitt, though
Let the liberty debates begin!
