Wayne Huizenga to Sell Dolphins Before January for Fear of a Barack Obama Presidency
Wayne Huizenga wants to sell the Miami Dolphins, and he wants to sell them now. Wayne Huizenga realizes that if he waits until after Barack Obama becomes president that Barack Obama will “punish” him for being successful. Wayne Huizenga is looking to sell the Dolphins quickly because of the tax increases that Barack Obama will impose on capital gains taxes.
“If you do it this year or you do it next year, the difference is humongous because of the taxes,” Huizenga said.
Most people do not feel bad for Huizenga, you know the liberals are going to portray him as a greedy, egotistical, self-centered, uncaring millionaire. And who knows maybe that is accurate, but that is not the point.
The point is that this is an example of what can be expected with Barack Obama’s tax policies, and I am not talking about punishing the rich so that he can “spread the wealth around.” I am talking about the detrimental effect that his policies will have on commerce. People will be dissuaded from selling for fear of the penalty that will be imposed on them. There will be no incentivefor buying and selling. In fact his policies will guarantee the opposite.
This is an example, a high profile one, but it is only one, how many others feel the same way and will be dissuaded from conducting transactions?
As the economy slows down the last thing that we need is higher taxes that will further slow down the flow of money.
As Wayne Huizenga says, he would rather keep his own money and then donate it to charity if he sees fit.
“He wants to double the capital gains tax, or almost double it,” Huizenga said. “I’d rather give it to charity than to him.”
Barack Obama’s tax policies will further slow down an already troubled economy. That is change that we do not need.
Governor Lynch/Joe Kenney Debate in New Hamspshire
The man who should be governor
Last night was the debate between Governor John Lynch and Republican challenger Joe Kenney. Joe Kenney faces incredible odds on trying to unseat the popular tax and spend, liberal, nanny state governor, but last night he performed well.
Joe Kenney continually hammered the teflon governor for his irresponsible spending that has led to the budget crisis now facing New Hampshire.
“The reality is that we’re now confronted with a shortfall because of all the spending that went on in Concord last year,” he said. “We’re going to have to make tough decisions in the coming months.”
This is a subject that I care about very much, the out of control spending has to stop. While New Hampshire avoided a sales or income tax the state did raise 22 separate taxes and fees to pay for Governor Lynch’s irresponsible spending. I have written about it many times, and we have been able to read editorials about it in the paper, but to hear Joe Kenney slam the governor on this issue and to not let up, I found invigorating. It was music to my ears to hear someone stand up face to face with the tax and spender and not back down.
While both candidates took the pledge ( for out of staters, the pledge is a vow to veto a sales or income tax) Joe Kenney challenged teflon John’s ability to hold off a broad-based tax once the Democrats return and propose more spending.
“I don’t know if the governor’s going to be strong enough to veto an income tax or a sales tax,”
Joe Kenny performed extremely well, I thought he won the debate. But John Lynch is so popular that I don’t think this will change much. Also I don’t know how many people watched the debate as most residents have already made up their mind to vote for Governor Lynch so they probably didn’t tune in.
Joe Kenney is an honorable man and he should be the next governor of New Hampshire. As unlikely as it is I am keeping my fingers crossed. As I head to the voting booth on Tuesday and pull the lever for Joe Kenney, I do so realizing that I am just one of a handful of New Hampshirites that will be able to truthfully declare that I have voted against John Lynch three times. Here’s hoping that the third time is a charm.

Florida Gun Sales up Because of Fear of an Obama Presidency
Florida residents, who understand that Barack Obama is against the second amendment, are buying guns before it becomes a crime under an Obama administration.
Here is where he stands on the second amendment:
- As a state legislator in Illinois, Obama supported banning the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic firearms, increasing state restrictions on the purchase and possession of firearms
- He supported a “ban” on the sale and possession of handguns on a political questionnaire
- As state senator, he voted against a 2004 measure that allowed self-defense as an affirmative defense to those charged with violating local laws making it otherwise unlawful for such persons to possess firearms.
- He voted against allowing persons who had obtained domestic violence protective orders to carry handguns for their protection.
- Obama has also stated his opposition to allowing citizens to carry concealed guns and supports a national law outlawing the practice
Is it any wonder people are buying guns now before Barack Obama becomes president?
Barack Obama’s Aunt Found Living in a Slum in Boston
Barack Obama is a socialist. He wants to take money from you and me because he wants to spread the wealth around. He doesn’t want to punish us, it is just that spreading the wealth around would benefit so many more people. That is the line of socialistic bullshit that we are being force-fed by Obama. Barack Obama wants to take our money and spend it on the less fortunate because he cares so much about them, or does he?
Tonight we have found out that Barack Obama’s aunt and uncle live in a slum in Boston.
a few miles from where the Democratic presidential candidate studied at Harvard, his Kenyan aunt and uncle, immigrants living in modest circumstances in Boston, have a contrasting American story.
Zeituni Onyango, the aunt so affectionately described in Mr Obama’s best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father, lives in a disabled-access flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston.
A second relative believed to be the long-lost “Uncle Omar” described in the book was beaten by armed robbers with a “sawed-off rifle” while working in a corner shop in the Dorchester area of the city. He was later evicted from his one-bedroom flat for failing to pay $2,324.20 (£1,488) arrears, according to the Boston Housing Court.
Apparently Barack Obama knows how we should spend our money to help the less fortunate, but Obama himself is not willing to spend his money to help his own family. If he is not willing to help out family how dare he tell us that we need to spread the wealth around to help others. If I want to help others, I will. Obama apparently doesn’t want to even help his family.
Remember the Saddleback Civil Forum on Presidency? Barack Obam claimed that America’s greatest failure was selfishness. (He made this comment about America when he was supposed to be discussing HIS own personal failure.) He said about America, “we still don’t abide by that basic precept of Matthew: that whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.” It wasn’t long after that forum that we learned Barack Obama’s brother was living in a shack in Kenya that was so small he practically had to sleep standing up. Evidently that “basic precept” that Barack Obama was talking about applied to all other Americans, not him. He didn’t give a rats ass about his brother, who was living on less than one dollar a month. He could have sent his brother $100 and he would have been set for years, yet Obama didn’t. He feels as though it is the taxpayers responsibility to “spread the wealth around”, yet he gave his brother nothing. He should practice what he preaches.
Barack Obama has made quite a bit of money in his lifetime, he had the means to help his own family but he chose not to. That is fine, it is his choice, but if he has his way we will not have the same choice that he had. It will be mandated through taxes. Barack Obama wants us to do something that he was unwilling to do and for that I find him a hypocrite, a phony, and a fraud. I also find a person who has the means to help his family and chooses not to, an ASSHOLE.
Barack Obama is Accepting Untraceable Donations
Cross posted on Grizzly Groundswell
Barack Obama’s campaign is accepting donations that are untraceable, this means that people can donate more than the legal limit and nobody would be any wiser.
Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is allowing donors to use largely untraceable prepaid credit cards that could potentially be used to evade limits on how much an individual is legally allowed to give or to mask a contributor’s identity, campaign officials confirmed.
Faced with a huge influx of donations over the Internet, the campaign has also chosen not to use basic security measures to prevent potentially illegal or anonymous contributions from flowing into its accounts, aides acknowledged. Instead, the campaign is scrutinizing its books for improper donations after the money has been deposited.
Show me the money, that is Barack Obama’s slogan and apparently he doesn’t care where it comes from or if the money is being legally donated to him. Obama’s campaign has assured us that it has returned any all improper donations but how are we, or they, supposed to know they have if the donations are untraceable?
And Obama’s campaign has accepted donations from people using fake names.
In recent weeks, questionable contributions have created headaches for Obama’s accounting team as it has tried to explain why campaign finance filings have included itemized donations from individuals using fake names, such as Es Esh or Doodad Pro.
Republicans question Barack Obama’s methods.
“They have opened the floodgates to all this money coming in,” said Sean Cairncross, chief counsel to the Republican National Committee. “I think they’ve made the determination that whatever money they have to refund on the back end doesn’t outweigh the benefit of taking all this money upfront.”
The Obama strategy appears to be to take in all the money they can and then they can return only the money that they get caught taking in illegally. That still leaves them with a gain higher than if they just accepted legal donations.
Barack Obama has no scruples, he will do whatever it takes for him to become president. Including taking in illegal money for his campaign. And the media remains in his back pocket, either because they want him elected of they are afraid of retribution after he is elected.
This man does not have the judgement, the integrity, or the honesty to be president.
LA Times Refuses to Release Controversial Barack Obama Video Tape
Cross posted on Grizzly Groundswell
The Los Angeles Times claims that they have a video tape of Barack Obama praising an anti-Semite, former mouthpiece of the PLO, Rashid Khalidi. But they are refusing to release it.
This man was a mouthpiece for the PLO while it was still considered a terrorist organization.
The Los Angeles Times is refusing to release a videotape that it says shows Barack Obama praising a Chicago professor who was an alleged mouthpiece for the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was a designated terrorist group in the 1970s and ’80s.
I suppose that this is just another acquaintance from the neighborhood and was not somebody that Obama knew intimately. Not exactly, according to the Los Angeles Times.
According an LA Times article written by Peter Wallsten in April, Obama was a “friend and frequent dinner companion” of Rashid Khalidi, who from 1976 to1982 was reportedly a director of the official Palestinian press agency, WAFA, which was operating in exile from Beirut with the PLO
“Khalidi was a frequent dinner guest at the Obama’s home and at his farewell dinner in 2003 Obama joined the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers in giving testimonials on Khalidi’s role in the community,”
Barack Obama has shown unbelievably horrible judgement as to who he called friends. All of these people just happened to be “just people in the neighborhood?” That is one hell of a neighborhood. Wasn’t Barack Obama born in Hawaii (or Kenya)? That means he chose to move to Chicago and he chose to move to this neighborhood. Did he know that he could find these people there? Did he seek them out? There are just too many coincidences with this man.
The question has to be asked, does the Los Angeles Times have this tape? And if they do, why won’t they release it? They claim that the tape was given to them by a confidential source who only gave it to them if they wouldn’t use it. This excuse doesn’t fly with me. Why would someone give the paper this tape and then effectively say, don’t use it.
There are only three scenarios that I can come up with as to why they wont release the tape.
Number one, the tape doesn’t exist. I find this unlikely. Why would the paper report the story about the tape and some of what is on it if they didn’t have it? That makes no sense to me.
Second, the paper wants Barack Obama to be president and are unwilling to release the tape because it may harm him. Why then would they even report the story? If that is the reason than it is probably because they know that the video would be seen thousands of people where this story will not be. (At least until the internet came across this story.)
Third, they are afraid of repercussions after Barack Obama becomes president. I think that this is the most likely. We have seen an inordinate amount of examples of the Obama campaign threatening and bulling television stations with their FCC licenses if they run ads that Barack Obama doesn’t like. We also know that a Barack Obama administration will re-institute the fairness doctrine, thus shutting down talk radio and conservative blogs and websites.
Barack Obama has shown a willingness to silence all of those that oppose him. I don’t find it too hard to believe that the newspaper is afraid of what might happen to them if Barack Obama becomes president. In fact I find this likely.
This is what comes from a totalitarian regime.
United States Turns over Wasit Province to the Iraqis
Even as Barack Obama tries to claim that the surge has failed because no political reconciliation has occurred the news from Iraq just keeps getting better. Obama has glommed onto this false notion that the surge was supposed to win political reconciliation when the true goal of the surge was to stabilize the country and bring a stop to the violence. After that is accomplished the Iraqis can talk political reconciliation.
It is no wonder that he is trying to change the goal of the surge, because the goal is being reached slowly but surely. The United States military has handed Iraq’s southern province into Iraqi control. This means that the Iraqis are now responsible for security in this area.
The U.S. military on Wednesday handed over security responsibility for the southern province of Wasit to Iraqi authorities — a step that acknowledges the growing capability of the country’s fledgling security forces.
This means that Iraq now controls 13 of their 18 provinces as they move toward total control of their country.
It is a shame that as conditions improve the coverage in the news continues to decline. As the body counts were adding up the news coverage was endless, now that our military is succeeding there is hardly a mention in the news.
This is what Nancy Pelosi had to say about the Democrats increasing their majorities in the house and senate.
“Elect us, hold us accountable, and make a judgment and then go from there. But I do tell you that if the Democrats win, and have substantial majorities, Congress of the United States will be more bipartisan,” said Pelosi.
Somebody is going to have to explain to me how that works. I guess I am just too stupid to understand how electing more of the same people who are responsible for turning the country against itself will suddenly be more bipartisan when they have a larger majority.
Democrats have spent the last eight years trying to illegitimise the election of President Bush, they have spent the last six years publicly and privately trying to drive a wedge between the American people with their soaring rhetoric and hateful tongues. And they have succeeded, a miserable American people was what they had hoped for and have strived to achieve over these last eight years and now we are supposed to believe that if we just vote them in to office in larger numbers that they will heal the country? They conveniently forget that they are the ones who infected the country with their bile. They are the ones who purposely divided the country for their political gain.
Now with a larger majority we are supposed to believe that the country will be more bipartisan than in the past?
I declare BULLSHIT!
Joe Biden appeared on WFTV in Florida last week and was asked some tough questions, which he didn’t take too kindly to. The Obama campaign notified the television station that a scheduled interview with Biden’swife was cancelled and that they would no longer be granted any interviews with the campaign. Obama apologists immediately began trying to ruin the career of the anchor woman who asked the questions. They immediately began trying to discredit the anchor woman and the television station. This is typical from Obama, instead of debating the opposition he tries to destroy and silence them.
Evidently the campaign had issues with a news organization trying to do it’s job. Barack Obama has shown a disdain for the media unless they are towing the Obama line, he feels that if the media doesn’t report him as the savior and the healer of souls than they are no longer worthy of their FCC license. His campaign has now repeatedly bullied television stations to only interview him a certain way and to also stop airing ads that are critical of him. I am not going to link to all the posts that I have done on this subject, but if you are either interested or skeptical of what I just claimed, just search my blog and you will find several examples that I have sighted.
WFTV was the latest example of Obama trying to bully the media into reporting on him they way that he sees fit, but according to this article the television station is not backing down.
The news director of an Orlando-based TV station that conducted an interview with Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) on Thursday, said he and the station stand by the questions anchorwoman Barbara West asked the senator.
Here is the statement from Robert Jordan, news director for WFTV
“Senator Biden wants to be vice president of the United States, and we are going to ask him tough questions. We are not just going to ask him softball questions. When you get a shot to ask these candidates questions, you want to make the most of it.”
In other words, the television station has a job to do and they are going to do their best to do it. It is about time that somebody actually asked the questions that many of us have on our minds. I just don’t understand what has taken so long. Many of us on the internet who follow politics, probably more closely than is healthy, have known about all of Obama’s past associations with shady characters and his radical views for a long time and have been frustrated that nobody was reporting them. Barack Obama has been trying to hide his past and with the help of the media he has been successful. Most voters don’t know anything about Obama’s radical friends and views, and those that do and support him just don’t give a damn.
Now that it is probably too late the tough questions are being asked. Joe Biden’s reaction, and the response of the Obama campaign should tell us all we needed to know.
Obama’s Group Donated to the Former Chairman of the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist)
Barack Obama co-founded the Annenberg Challenge with domestic terrorist William Ayers. He served as the chairman on this foundation from 1995-2002. He also was a director on the Woods Fund. Obama likes to claim that William Ayers was just a guy in the neighborhood whose children went to the same school as Obama’s. But there is more than just a casual relationship with Ayers in Obama’s past, and this article point out some of the radical groups that Obama helped to fund while he was a director of the Woods Fund and chairman of the Annenberg Challenge.
ACORN received some money from Obama’s group.
The Woods Fund of Chicago, it gave $75,000 to ACORN, the voter registration group now under investigation for voter fraud in 12 states.
That is no surprise, this has been reported before. Obama’s campaign is distancing itself from ACORN, but in a recent video that surfaced Obama tells ACORN that they will play a major roll in his decision making as president.
The foundation also donated $6,000 to Reverend Wright and listed the donations as “for special purposes”, what could those purposes have been? Considering Wright is anti_American and a racist, who knows.
Then there is a donation to an anti-semitic organization.
$40,000 to the Arab American Action Network, which critics have accused of being anti-Semitic.
Perhaps that is why Obama is willing to sit down without pre-conditions with the man who called Israel a “stinking corpse” and also said that he would “wipe Israel from the face of the earth.”
The Annenberg Challenge also gave money to a controversial group called the “South Shore African Village Collaborative.”
It also gave nearly $1 million to a group called the South Shore African Village Collaborative, whose goals, according to Annenberg’s archived Web site, are “to develop more collegial relationships between teachers and principals. Professional development topics include school leadership, team building, parent and community involvement, developing thematic units, instructional strategies, strategic planning, and distance learning and teleconferencing.”
But the group mentions other goals in its grant application to the Annenberg Challenge:
“Our children need to understand the historical context of our struggles for liberation from those forces that seek to destroy us,” one page of the application reads.
I find the response of the executive director of the parent company of this group to be very telling.
“I don’t want to put more fuel on the fire. You can call us back after the election…. I don’t want to compromise the position.”
It sounds to me like she knows Barack Obamawas involved with some controversial organizations and she also knows that if word gets out there that it could jeopardize the election. So she would rather say no comment, but she will gladly talk after the election when no damage can be done. What a sport. This should send up red flags, but it won’t.
I saved this little tidbit for last.
$50,000 to the Small Schools Network — which was founded by Ayers and run by Michael Klonsky, a friend of Ayers’ and the former chairman of the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist)
His group donated $50,000 to a foundation run by the former chairman of a communist organization. Barack Obama and Joe Biden have been fending off accusations that Obama is a socialist ever since the now infamous “spread the wealth around” comment and perhaps they are telling the truth and Obama isn’t a socialist after all. Perhaps he is a communist.
