Do-Nothing Congress? Americans Think Congress Passes Too Many Laws

Posted on by

“Asked if ‘Congress passes too many laws,’ 56 percent of Americans said Congress passes too many laws, while 40 percent disagreed.  When Congress does take action, Americans don’t like the resulting laws. Over two-thirds, 67 percent, said Congress passes ‘the wrong kinds of laws.’  Still, despite their disappointment in the volume and types of legislation Congress passes, the public wants lawmakers to get something done. Sixty-seven percent of Americans told Reason-Rupe they want members of Congress to ‘work together and compromise more, even if I do not like the resulting laws.'”

Capitalism: A Hate Story

Posted on by

“In Year 1 of Obama, two fat cats named Michael Moore and Harvey Weinstein released a movie. Their magnum opus was ‘Capitalism: A Love Story’. The unsubtly sarcastic point after the colon was that capitalism was an unmitigated bag of evil. And to reaffirm the faith of capitalism-haters in the evils of capitalism, here was a movie put out by a bunch of corporations owned by millionaires.  The traditional image of the anti-capitalist as a ragamuffin who dies of consumption in his garret has always been at odds with the real image of the anti-capitalist as a rich man or the son of a rich man.  The man of the people is rather often stuck at the bottom of the top of the pole.”

Reps. Bachmann, Gohmert and King thank Egyptian military for coup

“Tea party-backed Representatives Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Steve King (R-IA) on Saturday held a press conference in Egypt to thank the country’s military for overthrowing the elected government.  ‘Together, we’ve gone through suffering. Together, the United States and Egypt, have dealt with the same enemy,’ Bachmann explained. ‘It’s a common enemy, and it’s an enemy called terrorism.’ ‘We want to make sure that you have the Apache helicopters, the F-16s, the equipment that you have so bravely used to capture terrorists and to take care of this menace that’s on your border,’ she continued.”

Bush neocon worries that Syria vote means Congress won’t back Iran strike

Posted on by

“During a panel discussion on ABC News, Senor pointed out that there were two camps within the Republican Party. ;One is sort of the Rand Paul camp: loosely defined, isolationists, doesn’t want to be engaged in the world no matter what Obama says, can’t be moved,’ he explained. ‘There’s another camp… which has been supportive of engagement in the world, but they say they don’t trust Obama, they don’t have confidence in him, they don’t think he competent.’  ‘And the problem with that argument is it means that they’re not going to be for any military force anywhere for the next three years,’ Senor warned.”

Can We Pay a Minimum Wage That Makes Everyone Rich?

Posted on by

“More people — an increase in the supply of labor — want to work at McDonald’s at a rate of $15 an hour than $7.25. That leads to an influx of workers into the labor force and higher unemployment as new entrants fail to find a job.  The road to a higher-paying job goes through education, training for the jobs of tomorrow, and incentives such as the earned income tax credit, not through the imposition of a floor on wages.  So the next time someone tells you that the U.S. needs to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour, ask him what’s so special about $15. Why not raise it to $50, or $100, and make everyone rich?”

Killing to Save in Syria: When Liberalism is Lethal

Posted on by

“In the debate on Syria, progressive pundits are letting us know that do-gooders can’t be peaceniks. Recently, pro-war commentators on liberal media outlets have greatly outnumbered the doves, with MSNBC leading the way. These humanitarian interventionists understand what the most famous progressives of all time made clear, that the obligation to rescue the unfortunate comes with an obligation to kill. What they don’t understand or willfully ignore is the lesson of history, which is that when the United States has taken on the responsibility for the well-being of humanity, it has destroyed far more lives than it has saved.”

Drudge Poll: 91% Say “Stay Out of Syria.”

Posted on by

“This is not a scientific poll, but Obama’s spinmeisters had better pay attention to it. Obama drew a macho-man line in the sand with his vow to take action if Syria used chemical weapons. What’s a would-be macho guy to do? Go to Congress? Yes, say the voters. What will Congress do? It will put its collective finger in the wind. The general public seems split.  As long as American missiles kill innocent Syrian women and children from on high, half of the voters are content. After all, Assad’s weapons killed innocent women and children. Half the voters think the proper response is an eye for an eye: more dead women and children. That will show Assad who is in charge.”

Mother, daughter sentenced for Internet scam targeting U.S. military supporters

Posted on by

“A Colorado mother and daughter were sentenced on Wednesday for their roles in a ‘Nigerian internet romance scam.’ Karen and Tracy Vasseur were convicted of stealing more than $1 million from 374 victims who thought they were sending money to aid members of the U.S. military.  Unknown conspirators in Nigeria would establish online relationships with victims via e-mail or social media by sending them fake military documents and personal photographs. After the relationship was established, the purported military member would request large sums of money, ostensibly for satellite phones that would allow them to speak to the victims or travel funds that would allow them to visit.”

Lawmaker: My ‘gut feeling’ says Syria got chemical weapons from Iraq

Posted on by

“While admitting to not having any information on the matter, Rep. Lee Terry (R-NE) still offered speculation based on his ‘gut feeling’ that the Syrian government acquired chemical weapons from Iraq, the Huffington Post reported.  ‘I have not had any classified briefing, but all we know is that Iraq had declared chemical and biological weapons, and then they weren’t there,’ Terry told radio host Tom Becka on Thursday. ‘It wasn’t something that the U.S. was guessing, that was something that they actually declared. But they went someplace.’  Terry, who supported the U.S. campaign to oust Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq, said Syria was a different situation.”
