Congressman Mike Kelly gets standing O for nailing IRS chief

Comment by Jim Campbell, Citizen Journalist, Oath Keeper and Patriot.

When the congressman said, ‘”Is there any limit to the scope of where you folks can go?,” to which there was no reply.

 

It would seem prudent to bring a gun to your next audit to see if these taxpayer members of the Gestapo might develop a bit of a sense of humor or decency.

A scathing rant aimed at Internal Revenue Service abuses brought a standing ovation at Friday’s House Ways and Means Committee hearing from observers who apparently thought Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., hit the nail on the head.

“If you think it’s uncomfortable sitting over there,” Kelly told former IRS Chief Steve Miller as he grilled him over revelations the IRS targeted “tea party” and “patriot” groups for heightened scrutiny on tax-exempt status applications, “you ought to be a private individual when the IRS is across from you asking you questions.

“I have to tell you,” Kelly said to Miller, who resigned on Wednesday at the request of the White House, “where you’re sitting, you should be outraged. But you’re not.

“The American people should be outraged, and they are,” he continued. “This reaffirms everything the American public believes. This is a huge blow to the faith and trust the American people have in their government. Is there any limit to the scope of where you folks can go?” (Entire article below.)

Should We Pay Government Employees More?

Comment by Jim Campbell, Citizen Journalist and Patriot.

Missing in the analysis below is a serious issue.  Why should federal workers be paid their salaries and benefits including double pensions when they might be better out sourced to the private sector. Remember also, government workers are more often than not union members.

Government unions worked hard to re-elect President Obama, and now they’re expecting a payout at the expense of taxpayers. Any suggestion that their pay is below market levels is completely false.

Doing the math, it’s simple, the government worker is paid by the taxpayer thus the taxes the federal worker pays has been extracted once already. 

Should the same job be performed in the private sector, the jobs will frequently be done less expensively, taxes are then paid through the private sector.

Federal employees—who work on average a month less than private-sector workers and get paid more—are lobbying for higher pay.

Government unions know that Congress is looking for ways to nip and tuck the federal budget, and they’re counting on being left out of the deal.

“The Federal-Postal Coalition—a group representing more than two dozen federal employee unions—pleaded with Congress on Monday to spare their members in any deal related to the ‘fiscal cliff,’” Government Executive reports.

Government unions went all out to re-elect the President—the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) spent more than any other outside group on Obama’s campaign. While only about seven out of 100 private-sector workers are unionized, in government, that number rises to 36 out of 100.

Now they’re complaining that they don’t get paid enough.

Federal employees and Members of Congress are working under a two-year “pay freeze,” though “individual employees still remain eligible for raises if they receive promotions, step increases or performance awards,” explains Government Executive. (complete article below)

The New Yorker Magazine backed up the dump truck on Obama

Comment by Jim Campbell, Citizen Journalist and Patriot.

You may recognize the following quote from an unknown contributor to our site. “WE own this country, and when someone doesn’t do the job “we have to let them go.” “82 years-old, and Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry is still pissing all the right people off.”

It seems Obama has done just that when he was essentially a no show at the first Presidential debate.

Will Obama do better in the second debate?  How is that possible, he’s debating his record.  Of course it will be a town hall style and the audience will suspiciously stacked with Obama supporters. Imagine that?

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

10 Questions for the First Presidential Debate

Comment by Jim Campbell, Citizen Journalist and Patriot

At some point Obama will likely complain that he can’t get anything done because of Republican control of the House of Representatives. 

Mitt must quickly remind the viewers, that Harry Reid and the Senate determine which bills are brought to the floor and ultimately reach Obama’s desk.

Though others have advised against it, Romney might also consider quickly hammering Obama’s failed foreign policy, as Obama attack ads have mentioned Romney’s lack of foreign policy experience.

A number of Morris’ comments are off the mark completely IMHO.

The Heritage Foundation

Tonight’s debate between President Barack Obama and former Governor Mitt Romney is supposed to focus on domestic policy, with a major concentration on the economy. Health care, the role of government, and philosophy of governing are also on the agenda. The Heritage Foundation’s policy experts have submitted 10 questions they would like to see asked in the debate.

1. In 2008, then-candidate Obama said, “Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase.” In reality, President Obama’s signature health care law contains 18 new or increased taxes and penalties that will cost taxpayers $836.3 billion over the next 10 years, many of which fall heavily on the middle class. In fact, almost 70 percent of those responsible for paying the fiercely debated individual mandate are below 400 percent of the federal poverty level. Should these tax increases be stopped to protect middle-class Americans from their damage? If yes, where would the money needed to help pay for Obamacare come from?

2. Millions of baby boomers are starting to retire, and spending on Social Security and Medicare as these programs are currently structured is simply unsustainable. What is your plan to solve the looming entitlement program spending crisis?

3. Medicare as we know it today is facing severe financing problems that are unsustainable and putting future generations’ Medicare benefits in jeopardy. Over the long-term, Medicare has made $37 trillion worth of promises to seniors that it cannot keep and the hospital insurance trust fund will be empty by 2024. Worse, the President’s health care law will cut Medicare by $716 billion over the next 10 years to pay for new spending in Obamacare. As Medicare’s solvency hangs in the balance, what structural reforms, if any, are you willing to make to preserve Medicare for future generations?

Michael Moore: ‘Get used to saying President Romney’

Comment by Jim Campbell, Citizen Journalist and Patriot

Let’s be clear, Michael Moore is not a democrat, he is part of the scum that hijacked the party and turned it to progressive/socialist/Marxist/communist party it has become. 

Yes Michael looking and listening to you always has!

Any question where the chubster would go for health care?  Didn’t he speak volumes about the wonders of the Cuban health care denial system.

Nope make no mistake about it Michael Moore love capitalism in his bank account and investments but hates America.

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

TAMPA, Fla. – What a difference four years make.

Early signs emerging from Democrats during the Republican National Convention indicate the White House and influential activists are in a panic, fearing that Gov. Mitt Romney is increasingly likely to emerge victorious Nov. 6.

The Obama campaign has sent out a fundraising email by Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., warning Democratic supporters that Obama is in the process of being “Swift-Boated” by conservative PACs, while filmmaker Michael Moore has predicted in a Huffington Post interview that Romney will win.

In an email letter sent today, Kerry wrote supporters:

Why I Do Not Like The Obamas

Comment by Jim Campbell, Citizen Journalist and Patriot.

Hate is a useless and counterproductive emotional response. It’s like taking a dose of poison daily and expecting the other person to die. 

Since I have no desire to see harm done to the Obama physically, I write, and spread my comments as far as possible using social networks in the hopes that he and his administration are brought down peacefully on November 6th.

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

The other evening on my twitter, a person asked me why I didn’t like the Obama’s? Specifically I was asked: “I have to ask, why do you hate the Obama’s? It seems personal, not policy related. You even dissed their Christmas family pic.”

 The truth is I do not like the Obamas, what they represent, their ideology, and I certainly do not like his policies and legislation.

I’ve made no secret of my contempt for the Obamas. As I responded to the person who asked me the aforementioned question, I don’t like them because they are committed to the fundamental change of my/our country into what can only be regarded as a Communist state.

I don’t hate them per definition, but I condemn them because they are the worst kind of racialists, they are elitist Leninists with contempt for traditional America. They display disrespect for the sanctity of the office he holds, and for those who are willing to admit same, Michelle Obama’s raw contempt for white America is transpicuous.
