Obama's Patriotism

Senator Timilty gets it!

Senator Timilty is right-on about this...while D'Amico fights Hollywood!

Touting the creation of new jobs and spending on hotels and restaurants, the Senate voted unanimously Tuesday afternoon to begin state regulation of mixed martial arts events. The bill passed 35-0 after a state senator from Walpole urged his colleagues to pass the bill and attract so-called ultimate fighting bouts. "This is a good thing for the Commonwealth," said bill sponsor Sen. James Timilty, noting the potential for new state revenues without raising taxes. "It is much safer than the sport of boxing," Timilty said, noting only 6 percent of mixed martial arts fights end in knockouts.

Timilty acknowledged the changing times during floor remarks, noting he grew up following Brockton boxing champ Marvin Hagler while many of today's fight fans are following Kenny Florian, a Boston College grad who has excelled in mixed martial arts competitions. Sen. Robert Hedlund (R-Weymouth) also urged passage of the bill.

Before adopting the bill, the Senate agreed to a Sen. Marc Pacheco amendment allowing cities and towns, by local option, to choose not to host mixed martial arts events. The bill clarifies that promoters, physicians, referees, judges and contestants must be licensed by the State Boxing Commission and directs the commission to establish minimum skill requirements for licensure of contestants.

The bill also expands the commission from three to five members, increases the amount of accident insurance event holders must acquire for each contestant ($5,000 for medical expenses and $50,000 in case of death). It establishes a 4 percent fee on ticket sales and a 2 percent fee on revenues from TV, pay-per-view and other broadcast rights, to be paid to the commission. The bill also limits mixed martial arts matches to five rounds, except for championship matches. Rounds may last no longer than five minutes and the gloves worn by competitors must weigh at least four ounces, according to a bill summary.

On Revolution

In early June of this year I had the privilege of watching the 3rd grade class at the George R. Martin school in Seekonk put on a play about the American Revolution.

As I watched the kids dance around on stage I couldnt help but wonder if these kids really undertsood the significance of what they were performing. Did the teachers even understand or was the concept of the events that sparked the American Revolution just empty words and stories from a long ago?

It really is amazing, when you think about it, how quickly America has squandered it's good fortune, killed it republic, and turned it in to the very thing we faught to vanquish.

233 years since our forefathers declared their independence from tyrany; if America fell tommorrow it would probably not even register more than a footnote in history as an expiremental nation that failed in such a short period of time. It was not defeated by a foriegn enemy. No missles touched it's soil. Instead it collapse in on itself to the delight and glea of all freedom hating nations accross the world.

"They tax our tea, our iron, our cotton!" those 3rd graders sang. What did King George have on our current government? In 2009 the government will have spent almost 40% of our GDP. They spend barely 3% before the Geat Depression. People earning over the 100 thousand dollar a year threshold are losing almost 40% of their income to state and federal taxes. Then factor in the sales tax, the excise tax, the property tax, the sin tax, and then the variouse fees and surcharges that local governments collect. New York City residence are estimated to lose over 60% of their income to taxes.

This is far from the America we would have known has we been alive a meer 233 years ago. This America is not what the founding fathers envisioned for us when they framed the constitution. To quote Jeff Schreiber of Americas Right, "Our framers founded this nation knowing less about what they wanted America to be than what they never wanted her to become."

The time has come for a new American Revolution. We don't need to march in the streets with guns to achieve this. All we need is our voices shouting loud and clear and in unison to "Get Out!" We need to write to the papers and let the masses know that we are here, and we are mad as hell! We need to call our Senators, the White House, Post Signs in our front yard. We need to vote, we need to show up where these lunatics give their 50 thousand dollar speeched and heckle them. We need to run for office. We need to donate money to the candidates that run on freedom and liberty as their message. We need to organize.

"It seemed to me that all over the world intelligent people were waking up to the indignity and absurdity of being endangered, restrained, and impoverished, by a mere uncritical adhesion to traditional governments, traditional ideas of economic life, and traditional forms of behaviour, and that these awaking intelligent people must constitute first a protest and then a creative resistance to the inertia that was stifling and threatening us. These people I imagined would say first, "We are drifting; we are doing nothing worth while with our lives. Our lives are dull and stupid and not good enough."

It seemed to me that as, one after another, we woke up, that is what we would be saying. It amounted to a protest, first mental and then practical, it amounted to a sort of unpremeditated and unorganized conspiracy, against the fragmentary and insufficient governments and the wide-spread greed, appropriation, clumsiness, and waste that are now going on. But unlike conspiracies in general this widening protest and conspiracy against established things would, by its very nature, go on in the daylight, and it would be willing to accept participation and help from every quarter. It would, in fact, become an "Open Conspiracy," a necessary, naturally evolved conspiracy, to adjust our dislocated world."

How Government Health Care Will Take Over Your Life

Maybe you have seen that email that has been floating around for years. It involves a guy who is trying to order a pizza and have it delivered. The person taking the order at the other end already has all of his personal information, and after advising him on menu and topping choices that have been cleared by his health program, he is informed that he cannot place the order because he only has 2.75 in his bank account.

Seemed pretty funny the first time I read it about 5 years ago, but then it was a far off future fantasy. Today, it could very well be reality.

Giving government control of health care is the first step in giving them control over every aspect of your life. Wait until you go to the movies and try to order those nacho grande, and are told that nacho cheese is loaded with trans fat and has been banned by the government because trans fat raises cholesterol which causes heart disease wich raised the cost of health care per person. Try the toffu instead.

Health care gives the government the keys to the kingdom, what you eat, how you drive, where you vacation, what sports you play. President Obama wants control of everything.

It should be fun living in a perfectly sterile environment.

"We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now. There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy. There will be no art, no literature, no science.

There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever."

-George Orwell (1984)

This is legit. This was published by the GOP on their website.

Todays Required Reading: The Ilagitamacy of Barack Obama

It's back in the news again....my favorite topic about regarding "Americas Numbers One Communist" and his birth. Each and every time a new lawsuit comes out against BHO more and more mainstream media outletts begin to pick it up. Finally Fox News has given legitimacy to the argument my running the latest story about Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook. Maj. Cook has been ordered to Aghanistan. He is challenging that order in court saying that because BHO is not a natural born citizen, deploying would be following an illegal order as BHO is not quallified to be Commander in Chief .

This is not the first case that has been filed questioning BHO's Presidential eligibility. The fact they have been dismissed does not (as the Main Stream Media would like you to believe) mean that they have been debuncted. What it means is that no court is willing to state that a voter, or an average citizen can bring those charges. While the constitution states that one must be a "natural born citizen" to hold the office of the Presidency. It fails to outline who in fact is supposed to enforce that.

People can cry "conspiracy theory" all they want, but the fact remains that this has to be the easiest conspiracy in the world to uncover. This is not a potential 9/11 cover-up, this is not Roswell or Area 51, this isn't even a magic bullet. This is as easy as producing the vault copy of your birth cirtificate from the state of Hawaii. Not the PDF that is "fact Check" that looks like it was issued last year as it does not show any evidence that it is over 40 years old. I am talking about the master copy that sits in the basement of whatever city's hospital or town hall that you were born in that they use to verify your information when you request a copy of your birth cirtificate. Piece of cake!

That fact that Obama has blocked all access to this reaks of giult. Not even the press can obtain it under the freedom of information act because the state of Hawaii has bared any access to it by anyone but Obama.

PICTURES FROM BREAKFAST

Still the Reel Deal

An Editorial By the Boston Herald Editorial Staff:

Thursday, July 9, 2009

Massachusetts is lousy with film crews and big stars this summer but leave it to the usual critics to try and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Yes, critics of the state’s film tax credit program are waving a new Department of Revenue report around to argue that the film tax credits, now in their fourth year, are a net drag on the state’s economy.

The study, they note, concludes that for every dollar the state laid out in tax credits over the first three years, it realized only 16 cents in return. And they whine that the benefits are accruing to Hollywood A-listers and out-of-state crew members at the expense of taxpayers.

But the critics ignore the fact that the film credits were designed as much as a stimulus program for the private sector as they were to boost the state treasury. Production companies have to spend big in order to qualify for any credits - and over the last three years that has translated to a whopping $676 million, DOR estimates.

The naysayers cite the finding that only 18 percent of wages eligible for tax credits were paid to Massachusetts residents (a “mere” $63 million) - the rest to out-of-staters.

But the report also found that more than 40 percent of the nearly 2,000 new jobs directly tied to the industry were held by Massachusetts residents. And as the report itself suggests, more Bay Staters will lay claim to more jobs as the local film industry matures.

Finally, the report doesn’t estimate the impact of two new planned sound stages, which will generate construction and permanent jobs, nor does it consider the impact of film-related tourism or state savings on, say, unemployment or health care thanks to industry employment.

In a dismal economy, tax incentives like these are an easy target, especially for those who hate to see anyone’s tax burden reduced (never mind Leonardo DiCaprio’s) if it means fewer dollars for the government program du jour. And the cost-benefit analysis must tip heavily in the Bay State’s favor to justify the continuation of these credits.

But this program is in its infancy. The outcry is a bit like writing a bad review without bothering to watch the end of the movie.
