There is no end in sight. Regardless of who is taxed how much
the American people will end up paying the total debt the government has created.
Any additional taxes placed other than on the bottom of the economic spiral spins it's way right-back-to-"US". Big companies
including GE, GM, Enron, Exxon, Apple won't loose a dime by being
taxed more. Where they will loose is when 'we' don't help them make so much profit and that's beginning to occur already, so expect price hikes on everything! The 'old sale adage is' - selling
less -get more from those who buy!

Sarah Palin: Media ‘wee-weed up’ about Rick Santorum 77 Email Print Sarah Palin defended Rick Santorum's 2008 speech in which he referenced Satan. | AP Photo images.politico.com/global/2012/02/120222_sarah_palin_605_ap.jpg Close By MJ LEE | 2/22/12 6:47 AM EST Updated: 2/22/12 8:31 AM EST Sarah Palin came to the defense of Rick Santorum for his “Satan” comments as she condemned “lame-stream media characters” for getting “all wee-weed up about” the candidate’s past remarks. “They will attack any conservative who boldly proclaims their faith and talks about, there is good in the world and there is evil in the world, and that’s what Rick Santorum was talking about,” Palin told Sean Hannity of Fox News. Continue Reading Text Size - + reset Listen Palin: Media ‘wee-weed up’ She continued, “This was a speech that he gave back in 2008 where he named evil as Satan. For these lame-stream media characters to get all wee-weed up about that — first, you have to ask yourself, have they ever, ever attended a Sunday school class even? Have they never heard this terminology before?” The new scrutiny over Santorum’s speech at Ave Maria University in Florida from four years ago — in which the 2012 hopeful had warned about an unfolding “spiritual war” in America in which Satan was poised to attack the country — is simply a part of the narrative created by the leftist media that “runs the show,” Palin scoffed. “They just got so whacked out about this speech,” she said, and recalled a speech she also gave back in 2008 about the need to pray for U.S. troops. “They did the same thing to me. … They ran that tape over and over again in the vice presidential race, trying to make me sound like a wacko,” she said. Palin also hit the media for targeting Santorum when President Barack Obama recently invoked the Bible in calling for tax hikes, in an apparent reference to the president’s National Prayer Breakfast speech earlier this month. “The theology that [Obama] would adopt by reading the book of Luke results in him being able to say we need to increase taxes on hardworking Americans — that’s OK but Rick Santorum talking about good an evil isn’t OK?” she charged. “Mainstream media — they make me sick. They’re hypocrites, and we need to call them out on them.” Asked what advice she would have for Santorum in dealing with the barrage of criticism over the Satan comments, the ex-vice presidential candidate said, “We would be disappointed in him if he backed off and all of a sudden changed his stripes and decided he didn’t want to talk about good and evil in the world, and America’s Judeo-Christian foundation. So he needs to stand strong on that.” Chris Christie, a Mitt Romney supporter, also weighed in on the Satan comments. “I think anything you say as a presidential candidate is relevant. I mean, it’s by definition, relevant. You’re asking to be the president of the United States,” the New Jersey governor said Wednesday on “Good Morning America. “I think people want to make an evaluation, a complete evaluation, of anybody who asks to sit in the Oval Office, so I think it’s relevant in that respect.” Still, the outspoken Republican added, “Do I think it’s the things we should be as a party talking about and emphasizing at the moment? No.” Santorum pushed back against critics of his 2008 remarks from the campaign trail Tuesday, saying, “It’s a joke, it’s absurd,” noting that he believes in good and evil. |

Pope Rick Posted on February 22, 2012 by Ed Stein edsteinink.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Stei120223.gif Rick Santorum, the latest not-Romney to surge in the Republican primaries and caucuses, brings with him a religious absolutism that I find positively frightening. The man might well be running for Grand Inquisitor, given his hatred of gays, his disregard for the rights of women, and his contempt for much of the advances of the twentieth century, all the more surprising given that we’re well into the next century. He predictably would end the right to abortion, but beyond that, thinks the states should have the right to outlaw contraception, wants to end prenatal testing, finds public education an anachronism, and seems to believe that Satan himself is working for Obama, or vice versa. In Santorum’s world, we’d all be better off if our women were in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant, where they would be home schooling our children in climate change denial. That this guy actually has a good chance of winning the nomination is a sign of how far to the insane right the Republican party has drifted. So, here is my vision of what a Santorum inauguration would look like. |

.. A U.S.-Iran Conspiracy? By Leslie H. Gelb | The Daily Beast – 2 hrs 12 mins ago... . A U.S.-Iran Conspiracy? **an association between religious, political, or tribal officials to further their own ends, usually by intrigue **an agreement between persons to deceive, mislead, or defraud others of their legal rights, or to gain an unfair advantage ** an agreement between persons to break the law in the future, in some cases having committed an act to further that agreement ** the overthrow of a government =*= SO WHICH IS IT? =*= Tehran and Washington have discovered a surprising common bond: to pretend that they might be heading toward serious negotiations to curb Iran’s nuclear capacity. What’s more, they are pretending for the same reason: to ward off an Israeli attack on Iran. Their moves are barely noticeable—vague diplomatic pronouncements, op-eds, lots of behind-the-scenes orchestration by Russia. They don’t want much attention—just enough to persuade Israel to wait on military action, to buy time. The American line is that the economic sanctions are working and weakening Tehran’s will. Iran’s line is we’re willing to compromise, but we’re not going to be pushovers. Of course, there is no actual collusion between Iran and the United States; they don’t trust each other. But both have reached the conclusion that war is worse than continued uncertainty—at least for the time being, as far as the United States is concerned. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has been driving the process. Moscow is one of Tehran’s last reliable friends, which makes Russia agreeable to Iran, but suspect in the West. Nonetheless, Lavrov has presented Iran with an unpublished, and perhaps vague, step-by-step proposal with reciprocity at each step. The idea is for both sides to move forward gradually toward Iran’s limiting (not eliminating) its nuclear capacity, plus extensive inspections and the West’s lifting economic sanctions against Iran plus giving security guarantees. U.S. officials and other sources claim a breakthrough occurred in the Russian-Iranian talks last month. The big concessions, they said, were made by Tehran. Iran would hold its uranium enrichment to 5 percent, well below the threshold needed to make nuclear weapons, maintain only one uranium facility, and allow extensive inspections. These diplomatic mumblings were never spelled out in an official document. Instead, they were followed by a general and short letter sent from Saeed Jalili, head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. The addressee was EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, posting officer for the P-5+1 (the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany). Next comes a small, but consequential buy-in to this process by the United States. At a press conference last week with Ashton, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the letter “an important step.” Ashton pronounced herself “cautious and optimistic.” In diplomatic parlance, that’s not chicken feed. And remember, they were making nice to a mere 200 word letter that said practically nothing, suggesting they were really giving a nod to something else going on. If this wasn't enough "cow-pie" for you, read the rest... news.yahoo.com/u-iran-conspiracy-094500651.html |

Most Republicans are demonstrating their indecision silently thru
caucuses and primaries but a 'few' are verbably displaying their
dissatisfaction with the current situation.
*Jeb Bush says stop the small talk (bullysh*t) and get on with acting like you could be president.
*Sarah Palin says, "I can't take it anymore!"
*Donald Trump wishes he'd never said noth'n!
*Mitch Daniels my 'wife' won't let me
*Mike Huckabee I'm where I can be of most help to my party 'FOX
*Herman Cain tries to tell republicans what to do but they won't listen to 'blacks"!
*Chris Christie says if "I" run will i "WIN?"
*Mike Pence = did what?=
*Hoosier Hillbilly I want to run against Obama on the democratic
ticket-I can beat him.
[[ My complete platform is expressed in this forum ]]
And there soon will be more republicans (termites) coming out of the wood to voice their opinion's - not because they've been gnawing for an electable candidate but to puke because they don't have one.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The shooting deaths of two U.S. military advisers in the Afghan capital and the quick decision to pull coalition personnel from all government ministries injected a sobering measure of doubt about the reliability of the most important U.S. ally in the war.
The Pentagon condemned what it called the murder of the two American officers but said it was committed to working closely with the Afghans to counter violent extremism and to stabilize the country.
President Barack Obama telephoned the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, with condolences. And the White House praised President Hamid Karzai's efforts to restore calm in his country.
In a written statement, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's press secretary said Afghan Defense Minister Gen. Abdul Rahim Wardak called Panetta on Saturday to offer his condolences and to apologize.
"Secretary Panetta appreciated the call and urged the Afghan government to take decisive action to protect coalition forces and curtail the violence in Afghanistan after a challenging week in the country," spokesman George Little said.
He said Wardak told Panetta that Karzai was assembling religious leaders, parliamentarians, Supreme Court justices and other senior officials "to take urgent steps" to stop the violence.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said the administration welcomes Karzai's statements "encouraging peaceful expressions, and his call for dialog."
Even if Saturday's killer turns out not to be an Afghan, the deaths compound a perception of insecurity in the heart of Kabul after a series of recent security failures and Afghan outrage over U.S. burning of Muslim holy books. The Taliban claimed responsibility and said the attack, was in retaliation for what U.S. officials have said was the inadvertent burning of Afghan religious materials, including Qurans, at Bagram air base north of Kabul.
Allen, who commands both U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan, said the killer's actions "will not go unanswered." Citing security reasons, he recalled all coalition personnel from Afghan ministries. NATO forces have advisers embedded in many Afghan ministries, both as trainers and to help manage the transition to Afghan control as foreign forces prepare to withdraw by the end of 2014. The Afghan Interior Ministry oversees all the country's police, so has numerous NATO advisers.
A White House statement said Obama thanked Allen for his steps to protect U.S. troops and to encourage calm. It also said the United States "remains committed to a partnership with the government and people of Afghanistan."
Still, the killings are likely to provide new momentum for critics of President Barack Obama's war policy, as well as Republicans who fault him for having apologized for the Quran burning.
Obama's apology Thursday, shortly after Allen expressed deep regret, was seized on by the president's Republican rivals as a sign of American weakness. Presidential primary candidate Newt Gingrich said it was the Afghans who should be apologizing, given their shocking perfidy.
These tensions coincide with planned administration meetings in Washington in the week ahead with the Afghan ministers of defense and the interior. It was unclear Saturday whether the session, including one on Thursday with Panetta at the Pentagon, would go on as scheduled.
Those talks are seen as important in the lead-up to a NATO summit meeting in May in Chicago, when the alliance and Karzai intend to determine the path to turning over full security responsibility to the Afghan government by the end of 2014.
Central to the U.S.-led international coalition's strategy for countering the Taliban insurgency is the idea of building up Afghan security capacity by working closely with the Afghan army and police. That requires a measure of trust, which is undermined when Afghans turn their guns on their foreign partners.
Just this past week the U.S. Army announced it was creating specially tailored brigades — some now getting training in the U.S. — to perform training and advising missions in Afghanistan starting this summer. It will assign 18-person teams to Afghan combat units in hopes of improving their ability to handle the Taliban insurgency on their own by 2014.
Even before the Quran burning and the unrest it unleashed across Afghanistan, U.S. and allied troops had been killed in increasing numbers by their Afghan partners. Last month France suspended its military training program after an Afghan soldier shot and killed four French soldiers.
After the French deaths, Allen issued a statement lamenting "this very serious issue of individuals targeting our forces." He pledged then, and again after Saturday's killings, to continue to work closely with the Afghan government.
Just this past Thursday two American soldiers were shot to death by a member of the Afghan army at a base in eastern Afghanistan amid protests over the Quran burning.

peopletellinguswhatsbestfortherestofus www.freedom4ever.net/freedom_to_decide.htmWe should have, and need less Government, for more freedom and Liberty. For more Liberty and freedom, we need fewer Laws and Regulations restricting choices., like Laws that even intrude into our bathrooms, which choose for everyone. Should we not be able to decide for ourselves individually, what size tank we want for our own toilet, in or own bathrooms? Or even how much water comes out of our showerheads? We should not let the Government decide for us like we were children. Are we not Adults? Can we not decide for ourselves individually, what we need and want in our own bathrooms? Do we not know what is best for us without the Government telling us what to do and making our choices for us, even in our own bathroom’s? Do we need a Government that would take our choices from us, and make our choices for us like we were children? Do we need the Government to tell us that only they know what is best for us, and need to protect us from making any wrong choices or decisions, we might make individually, that they think might hurt the collective or society? To tell us that we do, not have the Right to make these choices for ourselves individually, that they must make these choices for us collectively. You can be put in jail, for up to six months, for installing a toilet tank the Government does not want you to have; Is This Not Tyranny? What is best for an individual may not be what others think is best for the collective or society. We have to be able to choose our own destiny individually, to make our own choices and to be our own person. Do we need the Government to tell us what to do and how to live our lives, to take our choices from us, and make our choices for us? No! We need to be free to live our lives as we so choose. We can and should decide for ourselves the course of our own lives and destiny. To be free we as adults have to decide things for ourselves, and take responsibility for our own lives, actions and decisions and not give the responsibility to someone else or the Government. We need the freedom to choose our own way and not have it decided for us by others who might think they know what is best for the collective or society, but not necessarily the individual. When only we know what is best for ourselves inside ourselves. So we can be the best of ourselves we can be, to be able to fulfill our own hopes and dreams, for our own future and not necessarily Society's or the Collective’s. We as individuals have to be free to follow our own way. We have to be true to ourselves, our hearts and our own beliefs, as individuals with our Rights and freedoms granted by God. With the Constitution and the Bill of Rights the Supreme Law of the United States of America; we need to return to where we once were as free individuals, with less restrictive laws, regulations and Government, to be free and stay free, to become all that we can be and the best that we can be, individual and free, in the Freest Nation on Earth. |

The freest nations on earth
by Rebecca Hagelin
If there¡¯s one thing the American experiment proves, it¡¯s the power of freedom to transform lives. If you let people control their own destinies, there¡¯s no limit to what they can achieve. But if you bind them with the straitjacket of central planning, smother their creativity with over-regulation, fence them in with high tariffs and take their hard-earned money with high taxes, you kill their dreams even as you wreck an economy.
That¡¯s the central lesson of the ¡°2008 Index of Economic Freedom,¡± just released by The Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal. A country-by-country survey of how free people are worldwide to direct their own economic fortunes, the Index repeatedly demonstrates the vital link between freedom and prosperity. Simply put, the freer people are, the more an economy grows ¨C and the more everyone benefits.
Take something as basic as income. In the world¡¯s most restricted economies, rated as ¡°repressed¡± and ¡°mostly unfree¡± by the Index editors, average income hovers around $4,000 a year. But in a ¡°moderately free¡± economy, it¡¯s three times as much: $12,830. If you¡¯re in a ¡°mostly free¡± one, you can double even that amount: $26,630 annually. And in a ¡°free¡± economy? $33,579 ¨C more than eight times the money you¡¯d earn in an unfree economy. Turns out you can put a price on economic liberty.
So, which country has the freest economy? It may surprise you to learn that it¡¯s not the United States. In fact, the U.S. isn¡¯t even in the top three. We come in at No. 5 ¨C a bit disappointing, perhaps, but not bad when you notice that the Index editors graded more than 150 nations. Hong Kong took the top spot for the 14th year in a row, followed by Singapore, Ireland and Australia. New Zealand (6th) and Canada (7th) are the only other countries rated ¡°free,¡± which means they average 80 percent or better on the Index scale of 0-100.
Now, what exactly do we mean when we say that an economy is ¡°free¡±? Every country is different, of course, with various strengths and weaknesses, but it generally means several things. It means taxes and inflation are low. It means that the government doesn¡¯t spend too much or control the banks. It means property rights are protected, businesses are easy to start, and the court system ¨C which is largely free from corruption ¨C enforces contracts. It means tariffs are low, foreign investment is welcomed, and regulations are kept to a minimum.
The Index editors carefully study the data for each of these areas to assign a grade to each country. Small wonder that only seven make the cut as ¡°free.¡± Most of the world¡¯s economies fall in the ¡°moderately free¡± (51) or ¡°mostly unfree¡± (52) categories. The rest are divided up pretty evenly between ¡°mostly free¡± (23) and ¡°repressed¡± (24). Which means that most of the world¡¯s population isn¡¯t very free, economically speaking.
But don¡¯t despair. For one thing, although the level of overall economic freedom held fairly steady over the last year, the overall trend since the inaugural Index in 1995 has been up. Plus ¨C and here¡¯s the most hopeful part of the whole enterprise ¨C countries can, and many do, improve. The history of the Index is filled with success stories. Ireland is a prime example, as is Chile. Both nations have made clear-cut changes over the years ¨C changes that have given people more economic freedom and therefore helped their economies grow.
This connection between freedom and wealth is by no means new. In fact, the Index can be viewed as a new tool to prove an old truth. As the editors note in the introduction to the 2008 Index: ¡°Economic theory dating back to the publication of Adam Smith¡¯s ¡®The Wealth of Nations¡¯ in 1776 emphasizes the lesson that basic institutions that protect the liberty of individuals to pursue their own economic interests result in greater prosperity for the larger society.¡±
Economic freedom is about more than just the bottom line. When you give people the liberty they crave, you do more than boost an economy ¨C you make it possible for men and women to improve their lives. In the words of the Declaration of Independence, they¡¯re free to engage in ¡°the pursuit of happiness.¡± And as the Index proves, it¡¯s a virtuous cycle that leaves everyone better off than they were before
