If seems that more and more good people are being set upon by all sides. Christians are being persecuted in schools, in universities, in hospitals, and via ObamaCare. Now, add to the fray the Muslims, for two Christians were beheaded by a Muslim in New Jersey. And, as usual, the MSM is taking a pass on covering it. The Western Center for Journalism has the video… Then again, the Book tells us that this sort of thing is going to happen. But the MSM is performing its function and not reporting on it. However, if a Tea Party member were [...]

Union Thug Update: IBEW Blocked Transformers from Being Delivered to NJ
When they claim to be trying to help people recovering from a natural disaster, why did the IBEW keep important supplies, like electrical transformers, from entering New Jersey? Wyblog has the story… For the second time since Huricane Sandy their unionista thugs put solidarity above customer service. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, it seems to be pretty clear that residents of New York City and the surrounding areas could use all the help they can get. However, a Davisburg man said some people in the area are more interested in “protecting their turf” than in distributing those supplies to the masses. Mike [...]
Regionalism (Agenda 21) and Governor Chris Christie
Regionalism is the concept that the suburbs, through their taxes, should support the costs of their nearby city core. It comes straight out of the UN Agenda 21 where they use terms like “smart growth” and “sustainable development” or “sustainable living”. Regionalism is a favorite of “Community Organizers” like you know who. So, why is Governor Chris Christie of New Jersy, a darling of many conservatives and a keynote speaker at this year’s Republican National Convention supporting regionalism in his state? We will get to that in a moment. First, let’s review what “regionalism” is all about. I first posted [...]
Taxes for Online Purchases Coming to a State Near You?
Apparently, some governors are seeing dollar signs with online purchases. The bigger problem? The GOP seems to be on board. Big Government has more… Small companies who want to sell their products online are in real trouble. Some Republican governors, eager to enrich their thinning state coffers, are endorsing a tax that would be imposed on products sold online.According to the National Conference of State Legislatures Strapped, states could reap as much as $23 billion in new annual revenue. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie recently agreed to allow Amazon to collect sales taxes on his state’s online purchases if they located [...]
High Cigarette Taxes Fail to Meet Expected Revenue Targets: Anyone Surprised?
Apparently, raising taxes on tobacco products is falling out of favor with state governments… According to Patrick Gleason, director of state affairs for the conservative Americans for Tax Reform, tobacco has not been the revenue boon states that have increased cigarette taxes had hoped. “The lack of interest in raising tobacco taxes this year can be attributed to the fact that tobacco taxes have indisputably proven to be a dubious and declining source of revenue,” Gleason told TheDC. “From 2003-2007, 16 of 59 tobacco tax hikes fell short of revenue projections.” Here in Washington D.C., for example, the city’s 2009 [...]
Great Moments in Civil Discourse: Unions Call Gov. Christie "Hitler"
To introduce the latest “Great Moment in Civil Discourse,” I think a history lesson is in order. From the inception of the Tea Parties, Lyndon LaRouche supporters started showing up with signs like this… The MSM went bonkers for this, citing that the Tea Parties were RAAAAACIST! They also neglected to mention that Larouche is a DEMOCRAT. But, as always, the MSM can’t let the truth get in the way of the narrative, can they? Of course, being the propaganda tools that they are, they neglected to report in signs like this… In fact, they denied their very existence! [...]
