The Nobel Peace Prize 2002 was awarded to Jimmy Carter “for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.” In 1994 Yasser Arrafat was awarded the same prize for accomplishing the same as Carter, nothing. 

Like Albert Gore and Barack Obama who were awarded the Nobel Prize for no accomplishment of note the prize must now be looked upon as an embarrassment to future recipients. What has it become? A prize for the favored plans of the social engineers.

Would this be the same as awarding the upcoming Super Bowl trophy to the losing team because they tried hard and intended to win?  Actions must have consequences, yet for the progressive/socialist mind it all about the intentions. 

It goes to the socialist mindset to reward good intentions while failure is of little consequence. 

Jimmy Carter, a serial violator of the Logan Act show in the video below why is dealings in the Middle East were a disaster, his not backing the Shah of Iran ultimately led to the Iranian Revolution and subsequent theocratic rule by the mullahs (Sharia Law)

Who elected this fool president when if breathing were not a function of the autonomic nervous system he would probably not be smart enough to breathe. He was a constant bumbler and meddler and still the consummate fool. 

He didn’t just say that did he?  Still completely out of touch with reality after all these very long hears. 

His Presidency may have gone down until Obama show up as the biggest failure in United States History.

Obama has LOST His First Court Case on Eligibility — Ask Every OTHER Secretary of State to REMOVE Obama NOW:

YOU READ THAT RIGHT — Barack Obama FAILED to appear before by a State Judge in Georgia to defend against charges that he is NOT ELIGIBLE to be on the Presidential Primary ballot in March. Now the judge is preparing to order Obama to be KICKED OFF THE BALLOT there — because it’s been proven he’s NOT a natural-born citizen!

The judge is set to make his final ruling by February 4th… BUT IT MUST NOT END HERE! WE MUST GET OBAMA KICKED OFF EVERY BALLOT IN EVERY STATE IN THE NATION!

WE CAN FINALLY DO THIS! SEND A BLAST FAX DEMANDING OBAMA BE REMOVED FROM THE PRESIDENTIAL BALLOT TO EVERY SINGLE SECRETARY OF STATE IN ALL FIFTY STATES — AND HELP US RUN NATION-WIDE ADS: SEND YOUR MESSAGE NOW!

The “all American”  I love capitalism when I can use it to destroy countries and their currencies  has finally spoke.  Obviously hedging his bets that Obama may not be eligible to run he has picked Romney, do we need a better clue that thinking voters must vote against Soros and his potential Obama surrogate? 

Soros: Obama ‘exhausted,’ not much difference with Romney. In fact at one time he became so frustrated with Obama he told Progressives: Prepare to Bail on Obama and then The Huffington  Press told us that Soros told progressive donors Obama might not be the best investment. 

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message.

Soros is a Romney fan, Obama light!

I think you have an extremist conservative, be it Gingrich or Santorum, in which case it would make a big different which of the two comes in. If it’s between Obama and Romney, there isn’t all that much difference, except for the crowd they bring with them.

Romney would have to take Gingrich or Santorum as a vice president and you probably have some pretty extreme candidates for the Supreme Court. So that’s the down side. On the other side, the Obama administration is a bit exhausted, so it’s not all that strong. So it won’t be that great a difference and I think there won’t be a great deal of enthusiasm on either side of the battleground. It will be more civilized than the previous elections have been. Or you’ll have an extremist candidate. Then I think there’ll be a lot of emotion on both sides.

My colleagues reported last week that Soros cut a $100,000 check to a super PAC supporting Senate Democrats, after making a $75,000 donation to a House Democratic super PAC earlier this year. Soros could make a big difference for the president’s reelection if he wanted to, but so far that doesn’t seem to be what’s happening.

Which  is the bigger fraud the outer space alien that the military calls a hoax or the one below that says he isn’t?  Just think if the Constitution isn’t followed, the dead alien apparently being brought to life could become our next president. No doubt many democrats would vote for him.  After all with them it’s not who was the best candidate but anybody but Bush and the media that put Obama into office.  Doubtless view who voted for Obama understood President George W. Bush was not on the ballot.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message.

The controversy over Obama’s citizenship and eligibility for the presidency has prompted a number of Republican state and federal legislators to propose legislation aimed at requiring future presidential candidates to release copies of their birth certificates. Some legislators also lent their support to birth certificate-related litigation against Obama, joining as co-plaintiffs.

Georgia citizens  delivered sworn testimony to a court that Barack Obama is slam-dunk disqualified from having his name on the 2012 presidential ballot in the state, because his father never was a U.S. citizen, which prevents him from qualifying as a “natural-born citizen” as the U.S. Constitution requires for a president.

Georgia citizens today delivered sworn testimony to a court that Barack Obama is slam-dunk disqualified from having his name on the 2012 presidential ballot in the state, because his father never was a U.S. citizen, which prevents him from qualifying as a “natural-born citizen” as the U.S. Constitution requires for a president.

The historic hearing was the first time that a court has accepted arguments on the merits of the controversy over Obama’s status. His critics say he never met the constitutional requirements to occupy the Oval Office, and the states and Congress failed in their obligations to make sure only a qualified president is inaugurated. His supporters, meanwhile, argue he won the 2008 election and therefore was “vetted” by America.

The hearing was before Judge Michael Malihi of the Georgia state Office of State Administrative Hearings. In Georgia, a state law requires “every candidate for federal” office who is certified by the state executive committees of a political party or who files a notice of candidacy “shall meet the constitutional and statutory qualifications for holding the office being sought.”

State law also grants the secretary of state and any “elector who is eligible to vote for a candidate” in the state the authority to raise a challenge to a candidate’s qualifications, the judge determined.

The Green Movement,  represents a horribly destructive lobbying network made who use pseudoscience and when unavailable  complete lies to put forth their agenda.  But of course those of the progressive movement believe them, they after all support the baseless contention that CO2 is associated with Global Warming  (Hoax debunked using up to date January data gathered by Forbes Magazine’ Larry Bell, an acknowledge climate expert) and that evil car drivers and manufacturers must pay for Al Gore’s delusions. 

It should come as little shock to those that follow their communist agenda that a  a recent report revealed that  Greenpeace and their green lackeys go on the offensive, their very own way, the facts don’t matter.

It is comforting to understand that Washington takes these folks seriously when they pander to these fools for their votes.  A safe bet would be since they have nothing more to do they are busily making their next moves on Occupy Wall Street. 

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message.

In last week’s newsletter, we expressed our outrage at Levi Strauss & Company for caving to the Rainforest Action Network. The story was originally reported by Mongabay and has now been found to be grossly inaccurate.  This should surprise no one.  The Consumers Alliance routinely highlights in its newsletters the green movement’s reputation for playing “fast and loose” with the truth when it comes to attacking private businesses.  I guess this shows that RAN is living up to the movement’s reputation.  Mongabay is either complicit, or willfully ignorant.

2012: The Year to End Green Greed

Over the last few months we have regularly highlighted the various campaigns being run by radical greens against job creators throughout the United States.  George Landrith of Frontiers of Freedom, and a member of the Consumers Alliance, has synthesized these insidious campaigns into a recent Washington Examiner opinion piece.  Landrith labels 2011 as the year “green campaigns killed thousands of jobs,” highlighting their efforts to halt the Keystone XL Pipeline, humiliate Gibson Guitar, and smear Mercury Paper.  Of all the campaigns, Landrith notes Greenpeace and WWF’s campaign against Mercury Paper, particularly because it destroyed “local jobs and families.”  Mercury took the chance and invested in Virginia.  But one national retailer and former customer the Cincinnati-based Kroger has demonstrated that they don’t care about job creators who fail to kowtow to an extremist environmental agenda.

So what of the poisonous green agenda in 2012?  Will it continue to undermine job creation efforts in as it did in 2011?  Thus far it’s not looking good.  Attempts to revive the Keystone XL Pipeline died earlier this week.  President Barack Obama was unapologetic during the State of the Union about using taxpayers’ money and command economics to push his green agenda.  As Landridth correctly points out, “time will tell what 2012 will mean for the radical green campaign against free enterprise in America.”  But 2012 doesn’t have to symbolize another victory for the greens.  Americans have suffered enough in the last few years without seeing out of town green activists tearing up economic opportunity and the reputations of job creators.  Free market activists and champions of liberty can launch their own counter offensive and stand up for the economic ideals that have made America great.

One of the most enjoyable part of this “highly paid job” is debunking the outright lies and deception put out by the media and purveyors  of disinformation and fear like Alex Jones.  WE differ in two ways,  I’m for the most part right and document my sources and he is usually wrong and makes assertions that he just can’t back up. Oh yes, he makes big bucks misinforming you while I make nothing.

If I had a dollar for every person that has hammered me over the U.S. Government going to take us away and put us in FEMA camps I’d be able to buy all my reader a beer.   Please revisit: Cancel your tickets to GITMO we aren’t going any time soon: NDAA debunked  I got to tell you my friends I was beginning to have a Rodney Dangerfield moment. 

Allen West, a conferee on the NDAA, reads from the bill summary report and from page 657 to prove that the NDAA does not grant any new powers of military detainment of the American people.

When all is said and done if you choose to believe the likes of Alex Jones who is not interested in presenting facts as seen below. 

Alex Jones is a fraud, he claims to bring us the facts which he doesn’t bother to determine before he puts out his propaganda.

At least a broken clock is right twice a day….”This Bud’s for you Inkslinger:-)”

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C. and I approve this message.

Author of The Obama Timeline… and thoughts on restoring American liberties

As if it is not bad enough that Obama would like to double the capital gains tax from 15 to 30 percent, the impact of the hidden tax of inflation should be considered by anyone trying to evaluate the full unfairness of his proposal. One enormous problem with the capital gains tax is that it is not indexed for inflation. The result is that investors pay tax on what is actually not a gain at all.

Consider the following example:

You buy $10,000 worth of stock in a company and hold onto that stock for 10 years. You then sell it for $18,000, realizing a gross profit of $8,000. You pay a 15 percent capital gains tax on the $8,000 gain, or profit. Your tax is $1,200.

$18,000 minus $10,000 equals $8,000; $8,000 times 15 percent equals $1,200.

Your net profit from the stock sale is $6,800 ($8,000 minus the $1,200 tax).

But don’t forget that during the 10 years you held your stock, inflation has reduced the purchasing power of the dollar. Although the price of the stock has increased from $10,000 to $18,000, the value of the stock has gone up by $8,000 minus the inflation factor. A loaf of bread that used to cost $1.00 and now costs $2.00 is still nothing more than a loaf of bread. It may now cost $2.00, but that price increase may be a result of inflation—the government expanding the money supply—rather than an improvement in the product itself. Or, to look at inflation in another way, think of money as milk and the Federal Reserve as the dairy farmer. If he adds 10 gallons of water to 100 gallons of milk and sells you 110 gallons of milk, would you feel cheated?

As the Federal Reserve expands the money supply, year after year after year, the value of your money is “watered down.” Assume that over 10 years inflation alone has increased the price of the stock by $6,000, and that only $2,000 of the stock increase is the result of increased value from the company’s improved operating efficiencies, etc. That is, your $10,000 stock is now priced at $18,000, but $6,000 of the $8,000 gain or profit is merely the result of inflation. Or, to state it another way, the $18,000 you get from the stock sale has the purchasing power of only $12,000 because of 10 years of inflation. (Your money has been watered down.) You technically made a “real” profit of only $2,000—but you will have to pay the 15 percent capital gains tax on the full $8,000. Your final profit is therefore not $6,800; your profit is only $800:

$18,000 sale price minus the $10,000 purchase price gives you $8,000 gross profit

$8,000 minus $6,000 lost to inflation leaves you with a $2,000 “real” profit

$8,000 times 15 percent is your $1,200 capital gains tax

$2,000 “real” profit minus $1,200 capital gains tax leaves you with an $800 net/actual profit

You invested $10,000 over 10 years and have a mere $800 profit to show for your investment.

But Obama wants to double the capital gains tax to 30 percent. Under that scenario, you lose money on your 10-year investment:

$18,000 sale price minus the $10,000 purchase price gives you $8,000 gross profit

$8,000 minus $6,000 lost to inflation leaves you with a $2,000 “real” profit

$8,000 times 30 percent is your $2,400 capital gains tax

$2,000 “real” profit minus $2,400 capital gains tax leaves you with a $600 net loss

The IRS, Obama, and most members of Congress do not care that your profit has been eaten away by inflation. If they did, the capital gains tax would be adjusted for inflation. You must pay the tax on the difference between the sale price and the purchase price. In the above example, you must pay tax on the $8,000 profit regardless of how much inflation has reduced the value of that $8,000.

That, folks, is one reason why politicians love the hidden tax of inflation. Via the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke inflates the money supply. As a result, products and services cost more—but they are not necessarily worth more. Yet you are forced to pay taxes on the rising price, not the more slowly-rising value.

Congressman A: “Hey, I’ve got an idea! Let’s tax imaginary profits!”

Congressman B: “That would never work. No one is dumb enough to fall for that.”

Congressman A: “Well, let’s just try it and see…”

Now you know why the capital gains tax is not indexed for inflation…

Update:

Note: The ideal capital gains tax would, of course, be no capital gains tax at all. Instead, a flat tax of between 10–15 percent should apply to all income, regardless of source, with a standard deduction for every family member. By taxing all income equally, individuals would act in their own rational self interest—rather than acting to get around IRS regulations. (If the tax on rational activity is higher than the tax on irrational activity, individuals are encouraged by the law to act irrationally. It should not be the business of government to steer people one way or the other. Individuals should make employment and investment decisions based on what is reasonable, logical, and productive—not to avoid a tax.)

A flat tax—or a national sales tax in place of all taxes on income, capital gains, and dividends—has several advantages. First, it treats everyone equally. Second, it eliminates the ability of politicians to engage in class warfare. (If everyone pays the same tax rate, then everyone has an interest in keeping that rate low and in preventing wasteful government spending.) Third, it simplifies the tax code dramatically. (Add up your sources of income, subtract the standard deductions, and pay a flat 10–15 percent.) That would free up the millions of man-hours and billions of dollars currently wasted on tax preparation. Fourth, it helps reduce tax-avoidance—especially with a national sales tax. (For example, the person who currently “works for cash under the table” to avoid paying income taxes would not be able to escape a national sales tax.)
