Seniors to Suffer the wrath of Democrat “Compassion”

The partisanship guiding certain left leaning organizations in this election is simply mind boggling. In Florida, and elsewhere, low-income senior citizens are sometimes taxed out of their homes by local property taxes. Being retired, on fixed incomes and not always in the best of health, these seniors are able to make ends meet by using small earnings from their life savings, annuities, or social security payments. Having no rent or mortgage, the money is sufficient for food, health care and basic expenses. Maybe they have some left over for occasional presents to grandchildren or the infrequent small vacation. When high property taxes are added to the mix, especially as property values have risen greatly in the past decades, the homes many times become unaffordable and senior citizens end up losing the homes they worked for and lived in for much of their lives. The local governments issuing these property taxes and throwing these low-income seniors out into the street often do not wish to do so but have no choice.

Online Political Tests – Can’t find a good one

So its all fun and games with these online political tests… until you take a close look. All I wanted is to spend a few simple minutes answering questions so that a cool graph can come up that tells me that the only thing Right of me is the wall… and that compared to me, Pinochet and Milton Friedman seem to advocate marxism. But instead, these tests seem to be written with such ninifyingly academic leftistness that they are impossible to answer truthfully (lest I answer all the “leftist” answers). Basically, freedom is so devoid from these people’s heads that they cannot even imagine it, much less write questions looking for it. Basically, they check for a “cartoon” version of conservatism or right wing, due to their biases, and though I know the answer they are “looking for” to indicate right or left, they are most often quite wrong. This language problem actually has further huge implications, and here are some real examples from these tests: (We are assuming American politics here of course) Almost every question is like this: Most of these lets assume ask you to answer something from “Strongly agree to strongly [...]

First off, I join the many thousands of people who wish Rep. Gabrielle Giffords all the best in a full recovery, and condolences to the family of the innocent people murdered today in Tucson, including a federal judge and a young girl. Secondly, before all the inevitable (actually I am sure it already started) finger pointing and politicizing of the situation and giant backlash against conservatives (since Rep. Giffords is a Democrat), let me remind everyone of two things. 1. Of course this Jared Loughner (sp?) is just a nut, and it is of little importance what political views he may have thought he had. 2. In spite of that, he is nothing but a Pot head who seems to be a rambling liberal idiot with his “stream of consciousness” “conscious dreaming” “intellectual currency” “literacy” “civil rights” and similar terms in his youtube video…. 3. Because he is white, the media will try and is trying hard to paint him as an ultra-conservative right wing gun toting christian fundamentalist white supremacist but he obviously is far from that, pretty much the opposite of that. The media will focus hard on the “literacy” part of his ramblings, [...]
