1st Amendment - Anti Obama Signs Challenged With Every Means Possible

NEW ORLEANS -- There are several political signs attracting all kinds of attention in one Uptown neighborhood.

On Wednesday, crowds gathered at the corner of Calhoun and Coralie streets, looking at several signs depicting President Barack Obama as either a dunce, a puppet or a crying baby in a diaper.

"We have to determine that there is a zoning law that prohibits perhaps the size of the sign, perhaps the way that it's erected, that it is leaning over onto public property," Guidry said. "Whatever we can use, we will, but of course, we do have to balance that with First Amendment rights."

Short Term Memory for Liberal Democrats.
How Soon They Forget ...

"It disrespects the nation -- and President Barack Obama represents our nation"


"He wouldn't do that to [President] Bush, I'm sure. It's just insulting. It's insulting"

"He represents everybody, not some people."


And don't 'forget' G.W. Bush is the only sitting President to have an assassination Movie made about him.

A very special THANKS to twitters @Bconsdr8 for the linked history!

The U.S. Postal Service has lost $5.7 billion so far this year and will require significant help from Congress to get back on track, USPS officials said Friday.
http://ht.ly/5WN2r

The Postal Service continues to face long-term financial challenges and despite significant cost reductions will reach its statutory borrowing limit by the end of the fiscal year and default on a number of obligations to the federal government, officials told reporters. USPS has a $5.5 billion payment to its retiree health benefits fund due Sept. 30.

The Federal Trade Commission includes a long list of implicit subsidies the Postal Service receives that are not available to private companies,” said Issa in the letter to APWU President Cliff Guffey. The letter notes that “the Postal Service is exempt from, among other items, federal, state, and local income tax, all state and local taxes (including property tax), and vehicle registration and titling fees.”

The letter also notes that USPS has access to borrowing directly from the United States Treasury at very low rates. As of the end of Fiscal Year 2010, the Postal Service had $4.1 billion in debt with an interest rate below 0.3% as well as an additional short-term revolving credit line of $3.4 billion at an interest rate of 0.206%.

These subsidies are worth hundreds of millions of dollars annually, Congressman Darrell Issa asked the union not to mislead the American people.

Harry Reid Proclaims "I saved the world"

“But for me, we’d be in a worldwide depression.”

If Harry Reid hadn’t agressively pursued his patriotic constitutional duty of spending as much money as possible, the world would be in a bread line as we speak.

Somehow acting as Barack Obama’s rubber stamp in adding as much new debt in less than two years — $3 trillion at last check — an amount that took from 1776 to 1990 to accumulate, saved the world.

RNC finally hits it out of the park and identifies who's ass needs to be kicked

America's Political Climate Disected by John Zogby

Zogby believes Republicans will benefit from the Democrats’ missteps and pick up 25 seats in the House and 10 seats in the Senate.

He predicts Illinois Republican Rep. Mark Kirk will pickup Obama’s former Senate seat and that Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., is vulnerable against former Rep. Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania, but he does not know how much damage Specter’s primary challenger, Rep. Joe Sestak, will inflict.

At the same time, he believes Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will successfully fend off his primary challenge from conservative former Rep. J.D. Hayworth.

Zogby also believes former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio could end up “winning the battle but losing the war” in the Senate race against Florida's Republican Gov. Charlie Crist. Zogby says he is uncertain how well tea party-backed candidates will do in the general election.

Paying for Washington's Mistakes

Paying For Washington's Mistakes
IBD Editorials: Posted 11/03/2009 06:51 PM ET

Taxation: Policymakers piled up a $1.4 trillion deficit for fiscal 2009. The figure is so high that if Congress were to use the income tax to balance the budget, rates would have to be nearly tripled.

The 2009 deficit was larger than the combined federal debt of the first two centuries of the country's existence. As staggering as that is to the mind, the 2010 deficit projects to be even bigger, roughly $1.5 trillion.

Unless Washington issues another foolish stimulus package or decides it will continue its ill-advised bailout business, the deficits should moderate somewhat. But the debt created by the deficits will still have to be paid. Ultimately, taxpayers will have to satisfy Washington's massive tab.

While it's unlikely policymakers would try to use income tax revenues — which provide almost half of all federal revenues — to close the deficits, it's instructive to see how high the rates would have to go to do that. Data from the Tax Foundation show this Congress and administration are poor stewards of other people's money and are failing their constitutional duty to protect the future of the republic.

The biggest hit in a world in which Washington bridged the budget gap with income tax revenues would be, naturally, on those who have the largest incomes.

The rates for joint filers earning at least $373,601 would have to be almost tripled, from 35% to 95.2%, to help close the 2010 deficit. (See table.) Though the brackets are at different income levels, the rate progressions are the same for single filers.

The rates would not be as punitive in 2012, when the deficit is smaller, but they would still be excessive. Those at the top of the income scale would be moved from 39.6%, the rate that will be reinstated after the Bush tax cuts expire, to 74.1%.

Those on the lowest end of the income scale would not fare much better. Their rates would have to jump from 10% to 27.2% to help eliminate the 2010 deficit, and from 10% to 18.7% to help close the 2012 deficit.

In terms of overall tax bills, the increases are just as alarming.

The average tax bill for a joint return in 2010 will be $7,169. If the deficit were to be closed, however, the federal government would have to have an average of $19,001 from each couple filing jointly (See table). For joint filers with taxable incomes from $50,000 to $75,000, the tax bill would triple, from $4,208 to $12,537.

HUMOR FROM BEYOND THE U.S. BORDER - COMPLIMENTS OF THAT GREAT LAND DOWN UNDER ...

Obama: 'Judge me by the people who surround me'

Obama: 'Judge me by the people who surround me'

September 3, 1:56 PM Columbia Conservative Examiner Anthony G. Martin

During the 2008 Presidential campaign Barack Obama told audiences, 'Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself.'

OK, we will.

And that is precisely the problem with Obama.

In order to understand Barack Obama one must look beyond the official, Congressional-approved Cabinet choices to the truckload of unofficial 'czars,' 'special advisor's,' and 'officers' he has chosen to come to the White House to have direct access to him.
If one uses the criterion Obama laid out by which to judge his character, political ideology, and plans for the country, we can only conclude that the President is a far-Left extremist who disdains capitalism and free commerce, free speech in the open marketplace of ideas, Caucasian people who have accumulated wealth, and any dissent from the concepts propounded by his 'regime.'

How do we know this? Look at his czars, special advisers, and officers. These are the ones closest to Obama.

John Holdren, science czar, advocates for population control using the most extreme measures, such as mandating the number of children Americans can have. He is also a proponent of 'de-developing' the United States, sending its agricultural practices and technology back to the 19th century. Holdren has also suggested that infants and chronically ill elderly do not fit his definition of 'human,' and therefore can be expendable.

Cass Sunstein, regulatory czar and Harvard law professor, believes that animals should have the right to legal representation. If you try to get rid of rats in your home, a 'concerned citizen' could bring a lawsuit, with the rat as the plaintiff, to sue you for endangering a species. He also believes that if bloggers post something that turns out to be false, they should be prosecuted. In short, Sunstein is a Leftwing moonbat with Fascist leanings. Remember, Obama said to judge him by the people around him.

Ezekiel Emanuel, healthcare czar, believes in using cost-benefit and comparative-benefit analysis to allocate healthcare resources. This means the fewer years you have left to live, the less cost-effective it is to treat you. Thus, most of those resources should be diverted from the elderly to younger people. This is the 'rationing' portion of ObamaCare that many of us have warned about. And this will be done even without the so-called 'public option,' which is not really what the debate about government control of healthcare is about in the first place. Even without the public option, the provision for rationing is inherent in the provisions of the bill, thanks to advisers such as Emanuel.

Van Jones, green jobs czar, is perhaps the most extremist of the extreme in the entire lot. As a self-avowed, self-identified Communist, Jones abhors liberty, the Constitution, the American way of life, and seeks to change it from top to bottom. Here is more on Van Jones.

Mark Loyd, FCC 'diversity czar,' supports Communist Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and believes that what Chavez did to squelch free speech in the media and seize the means of communication is a good model for the United States. His plan is to silence conservative talk radio by forcing ownership to change hands to minorities and by implementing a fee structure for licensing that will put most private broadcasters out of business. At that point, Loyd would make PBS, or NPR on the radio, the most powerful forces in broadcasting--controlled by the government, of course.

Due to the areas over which they have jurisdiction, the above-named 'special advisers' to Obama are the key players. Jobs, communication, healthcare, agriculture, population control--all of these amount to a major shift in the way America has operated as a Free Republic for over 200 years.

Questions for consideration: Given these czars and special advisers who have offices in the White House with easy access to the President, how, then, should we judge Barack Obama's ideas and plans for the country, just as he asked us to do?
Why is a Communist operating out of the White House as one of Obama's closet advisers?

What can Americans reasonably expect over the next few years if the policies espoused by Loyd, Jones, Sunstein, Emanuel, and Holdren are implemented?
