Buffett/Secretary taxesI received one of those forwarded emails recently that I usually delete without reading but when I noticed Warren Buffett’s name in the headline I took notice. I am a big admirer of Mr. Buffett because he is one of us; the simple folk who try to keep this insane country headed in the right direction. When Buffett said he shouldn’t pay less taxes than his secretary, I thought there would be a major rush to sign him up for the nation’s number one job.
The "B...

Ariz. Wis. gun bubbaDon’t know about your state but in Arizona you can buy a handgun and carry it around anywhere you want to, even concealed, and you don’t have to have 1 second of training. You can imagine the danger running around the streets of this state, gun worshippers with a gun in their pocket who don’t have the slightest idea how to use it.
Concealed carry advocate, Todd Nehls, wants the gun population better trained, no doubt recognizing the stupidity of Arizona gun ...

Joe Arpaio: The people elected meFor two decades one of the biggest foes of illegal immigrants in the Grand Canyon State may be ending his law enforcement career with a whimper. Along with his best buddy, former State Sen. Russell Pearce, he could also be voted out of office in November. Pearce was dumped due to his radical views on immigration, and the same issue could be Arpaio’s undoing. But the Sheriff is taking his regular arrogant stand indicating the people put him in ...

Pres. Lincoln's assassinationAt the recent NRA meeting in St. Louis, a reporter had the luxury of witnessing first-hand just what a bunch of morons make up at least a portion of the membership of the National Rifle Assn. (NRA). Alexander Zaitchik, writing for
Media Maters for America, was on an airport shuttle bus when this idiot, who is an attorney by the way, dropped the bomb:
“What do Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, and Barack Obama have in common?" The answer, "Nothing. Yet."

Think State Farm Insurance is “Like a Good Neighbor,” as the slogan brags in their advertising? Think again. They are a part of the largest anti-consumer group in the country and even after numerous requests from its customers and pro-consumer groups
State Farm says it will not budge in its support of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). They continue to maintain both their membership and leadership in the organization.
SF VP Louise Perrin said, "(O)ur work with...

Abu Ghraib Prison We just learned of an incident from 2010 where soldiers took photos of themselves
posing with bodies of suspected Afghan insurgents. In one they are holding two disembodied legs for the camera. It’s happened in the past—the most famous was the Abu Ghraib Prison incident in Iraq where prisoners were physically and psychologically abused, and there was also sexual abuse including torture. That was 2004. But we didn’t learn our lesson.
Even when 11 ...

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg thinks so, claiming the National Rifle Assn. (NRA) promotes a gun culture at the expense of public safety in its creation of and promotion of the “stand your ground” laws. This legislation that allows gun owners to claim self defense in shooting someone, even killing them, if they feel threatened, has been passed or is under consideration in 35 states. Florida, where it originally passed in 2005, is where Trayvon Martin was killed.
Bloomberg claims...

Marion Hammer
Attacking grandmothers is not something I would normally do but Marion Hammer is the exception. She is ruthless in her loyalty to the National Rifle Assn. (NRA), one who illustrates perfectly just how this gun worshipping culture is instilled in kids from a very young age. She was five when her grandfather gave her a .22 bolt-action single-shot rifle—at least it didn’t have a high-capacity magazine—and ordered her to “hunt down a rabbit or a squirrel for dinne...

Hispanics, along with his majority share of Independents, could give the President the kind of mandate he received against John McCain in 2008. But there is still yet one more block of voters that have hefty numbers, and which are also a deciding factor in most elections.

How do you get rid of conservatives in government? The Hispanic vote,” that shows some impressive numbers.
- President Obama is the overwhelming choice among likely Hispanic voters. Head to head, the best any of the GOP candidates could do is get 14 percent of their vote.
- This is a nationwide trend resulting in a rejection of the Republican candidates the more they learn about them.
- 80 percent of the Hispanics voting for Obama in 2008 would vote for him again in November.
Further, today ther...

It's never too late
“In 28 states you can now openly carry a loaded gun in public with no permitting, screening or training. Four states now require no permitting, screening or training to carry a concealed firearm in public. And even in "Shall Issue" states that require one to obtain a permit to carry a concealed firearm in public, several have no training requirement.”
The above statement came from Ladd Everitt, who should know. He compiles this data for the

Mitt Romney on gun controlIn 1994 running against Ted Kennedy for Massachusetts’ Senate seat,
Mitt Romney said, “I don’t line up with the NRA” on gun control. By 2008 he had completely reversed himself stating that if he became President, he would support the 2nd Amendment and vigorously defend the rights of Americans to defend their homes. This was also at odds with the fact that early in his political career he was supportive of many gun control laws, particularly the Brady...

Russell Pearce & AZ Gov. Jan BrewerYou remember Russell Pearce. Arizona’s resident bigoted and racist state senator until the people of his district threw him out of office in disgrace recently for his extremist views. Pals with the state’s best known racist and neo-Nazi, J.T. ready. Pseudo-author of Arizona’s famous anti-immigration law. Yes, this is the one, and now he has another notch on his gun. He has placed GOP presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney, in ...

The NRA does hit up its members for donations that these gun chumps easily give up to keep them armed to the hilt, but there is a method in their madness. The
NRA wants to go big time in the lobbying of conservative causes.
Grover Norquist They are hooked up with one of the most ultra-conservative lobbying groups in the country, the
American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), who dreams up legislation that is pro-business and anti-consumer, then takes it to dim-witted, mostly GOP st...

Unfortunately it took the death of Trayvon Martin in Florida at the hands of George Zimmerman to convince at least some of the corporate world just how despicable the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is. When the National Rifle Assn. (NRA) brought the “stand your ground” law to the them, it was originally passed in 2005 in Florida, later being passed by 20-something other states. The law’s efficacy is being questioned nationwide.
This is all the result of the dedicat...

Huff Post likens it to the “evil law firm” in the movie
The Devil’s Advocate, a 1997 film in which a lawyer finds out his new boss is Lucifer himself.
I can see how the Koch brothers, David and Charles, would be considered the devil reincarnated by consumers because everything these two concoct ends up flying in the face of the average American citizen. Things like the “stand your ground” laws (Castle Doctrine), voter id laws, voucher programs for private schools that dilute publi...

Fla legislators love the NRA
Two good questions arise in a
Wall Street Journal article that seem to challenge the “stand your ground laws in those states where it has been passed. “For instance, does a rise in justifiable homicides reflect killings that otherwise wouldn't have happened? Or does it reflect the fact that more killings might naturally fall into the "justifiable" category, if a new law broadens that category?” Tough questions and without more study will no doubt ...

A lot of political attention will be turned toward Arizona in the next few months leading up to the November election, but it’s not because of its paltry number of electoral votes that resulted from Republicans screwing with the primary date. It’s because of its growing Hispanic voting population that is becoming stronger and more vocal by the day. It is also due to the country’s fascination and ridicule of the farcical antics of the state’s inept GOP politicians.
To start, th...

When will the American public understand that guns do kill people and that it is the proliferation of these weapons throughout the country that is causing the deaths of our family, friends and neighbors? Not until these same people say no to the National Rifle Assn. (NRA) and similar gun rights groups and put them in their place. And that would be as provocateurs of the death and violence that has taken place since these organizations have diluted gun laws nationwide.
It is that simpl...

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made the point in the Tuesday, March 27, arguments over President Obama’s
Health Care Reform Law. She drew a parallel between the 1930s Social Security Act in its financing of senior retirement, which uses the input of revenue from donors who will not take advantage of its benefits until a later date, to fund the program. She said:
"If Congress could see this as a problem when we need to have a group that will s...
