Khruswhchev, Brezhnev, Obama, and the U.S. Senate blinked on U.S.-Russia Treaty

By Oscar Y. Harward

In October, 1962, President Kennedy addressed the nation telling Americans that Russia had started installing ballistic missiles in Cuba. President Kennedy demanded that the Cuban missiles be removed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0MUbVQl9Ns .

Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev “blinked” and agreed to remove all missiles as demanded by President Kennedy.

President Carter pardoned draft dodgers of the Vietnam War. President Carter delivered an energy policy which led to oil and gas shortages, and long waits at the gasoline pumps. President Carter stopped the B-1 bomber program. President gave away the Panama Canal. President Carter signed a Social Security legislation promising to keep Social Security solvent until 2030. Muslim Ayatollah Khomeini took control of Iran by ousting the Shah of Iran. In November, 1979, Iranian militants overran our U.S. Enbassy in Tehran and held sixty-six American hostages for four hundred forty-four days. In April 1980, President Carter failed in an effort to rescue the sixty-six American hostages. President provided a $118 million aid package to Nicaragua’s new Communist’s leader, Daniel Ortega.

President Carter’s one Presidential four-year term was founded on many failures and one major victory; an agreement between the nations of Egypt and Israel.

Immediately following President Reagan’s inauguration in January, 1981, all Amerian hostages in Iran were released.

Candidate Ronald Reagan was vocal in criticizing almost all of President Carter’s economic, social, and national security plans. President Reagan’s loudest destain was President Carter’s proposed Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) agreement.

President Reagan’s plan was to change policy from “arms limitation” to “arms reduction”. President Reagan signed Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), reducing ballistic missiles with multiple warheads by up to 50%.

In June 1987, President Reagan called on Soviet Premier Mikail Gorbachev to "Tear Down This Wall", a wall that had been separating the City of Berlin since 1961 between Communist East and the free West in an effort to prevent many Germans departing Communist Germany and entering free Germany http://www.historyplace.com/speeches/reagan-tear-down.htm.

Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev “blinked” on the original START and tore down the Berlin Wall in November, 1989.

In this early December, 2010, we recieve a report that Russia has provided Venezuela with 1,800 anti-aircraft missiles http://hotair.com/archives/2010/12/12/venezuela-acquired-1800-antiaircraft-missiles-from-russia-last-year/ . President Obama makes no demands to stop Russia from providing weaponry to Venezuela or any other terrorist-supporting nations.

Within a few days, the U.S. Senate started debating a new START Treaty as proposed by President Obama. A few days later, we get a report from the Wall Street Journal, “Russia Warns Against START Changes” http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703886904576032003686144640.html?mod=googlenews_wsj.

President Obama promised to fully develop a U.S. missile defense system in Europe http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/18/AR2010121802999.html. Will President Barack Obama follow through on the promises he made to the Senate to fully develop a U.S. missile defense system in Europe http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/18/AR2010121802999.html? In 2008, as candidate Obama, he promised a liberal pacifist group, Caucus 4 Priorities, for major cuts in defense spending, slow or suspend future combat systems, abolish spending weapons of space, and slash our ballistic missile defense system http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o84PE871BE. What has President Obama promised Americans on any issue that he has not reversed his position on?

President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, all U.S. Senate Democrats, thirteen U.S. Senate Republicans, and 2 Senate Independent Party members “blinked” on this U.S.-Russia START Treaty.

From Newmax.com: “Retired Army Maj. Gen. John Singlaub tells Newsmax that the START weapons limitation pact would weaken the United States and President Barack Obama and that the Democrats are trying to “sneak” it through a lame-duck session of Congress”. http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/singlaub-start-america-russia/2010/12/20/id/380536?s=al&promo_code=B572-1.

From WorldNetDaily: "The Russians have snookered the Obama administration," Kwapisz told WND, "They got virtually everything they wanted but gave up nothing of importance to us on verification, missile defenses and their advantage in tactical nuclear weapons." http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=243041.

From the Heritage Foundation: “In the spring of 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton handed Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov a plastic button that was supposed to read “reset” on both sides, once in English and once in Russian. But while the Obama Administration got the English part right, the State Department got the Russian word for “reset” wrong, instead emblazoning the button with the word “overload”.” http://blog.heritage.org/2010/12/22/morning-bell-merry-christmas-moscow.

On December 22, 2010, Vote Number 298 ratification of the U.S.-Russia START Treaty Doc. 111-5, the vote was “71 for”, “26 against” and with “3 Not Voting”.

All 56 Democrat Party Senators who voted on this legislation did support the “U.S.–Russia START Treaty”. Twenty-one Democrat Party Senators who voted in support of “U.S.–Russia START Treaty ” and are up for re-elections in 2012: Akaka-HI, Bingaman-NM, Brown-OH, Cantwell-WA, Cardin-MD, Carper-DE, Casey-PA, Conrad-ND, Feinstein-CA, Gillibrand-NY, Klobuchar-MN, Kohl-W, Manchin-WV, McCaskill-MO, Menendez-NJ, Nelson-FL, Nelson-NE, Stabenow-MI, Tester-MT, Webb-VA, Whitehouse-RI.

Thirty-one Republican Party Senators opposed the “U.S.–Russia START Treaty”. Thirteen Republican Party Senators who voted for the “U.S.–Russia START Treaty”: Alexander-TN, Bennett-UT, Brown-MA, Cochran-MS, Collins-ME, Corker-TN, Gregg-NH, Isakson-G, Johanns-NE, Lugar-IN, Murkowski-AK, Snowe-ME, Voinovich-OH. It must be noted that Republican Party Senators up for re-election in 2012: Brown, Corker, Lugar, and Snowe.

Both Independent Party Senators Lieberman-CT and Sanders-VT supported the “U.S.–Russia START Treaty”. Independent Party Senator Lieberman is up for re-election in 2012.

Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev “blinked” on President Kennedy’s demand. President Carter failed on almost all political efforts. Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev “blinked” on President Reagan’s demands. President Obama, 56 Democrats, 13 Republicans, and 2 Independents “blinked” on Russia’s demand to approve the U.S.-Russia START Treaty.

Gov. Perdue to appoint new Union County, N.C. District Attorney

By Oscar Y. Harward

GOP’s Union County District Attorney John Snyder has resigned his newly re-elected office to accept another position in the private sector.

Under N.C.G.S. 163 10. Any vacancy occurring in the office of district attorney for causes other than expiration of term shall be filled by appointment of the Governor…..

For many years, members of the N.C. Judiciary were all appointed or elected by partisan political elections. In the 1980’s, voters in N.C. started voting for Republican Party Judicial candidates in General Elections. With this developing change, the Democrat Party controlled General Assembly changed the law switching Judges to be voted on in non-partisan elections.

Judges are appointed and/or elected for Judgeships by politics. Each and every Judge has his/her own political views of the legal, political, and personal issues at hand. If Judges are to render judgments on the law and their legal, political, and personal beliefs, each should be allowed to express their legal, political, and personal views in partisan political elections?

In most other “vacant” elected political partisan offices in N.C., the respective Democrat or Republican Party Executive Committees recommend replacements to fill the “vacant” offices. District Attorneys’ offices continue to be voted on by political partisan elections. With that being said, Gov. Perdue should do the judicious thing and appoint another Republican Party member replacement of the local District Attorney.

Will Gov. Beverly Perdue decide to appoint Union County’s “vacant” District Attorney by Union County’s voters’ choice, or by another different Democrat Party partisan political selection?

Don’t ask, don’t tell repeal is now do ask, do tell

By Oscar Y. Harward

Capitol Hill’s majority Democrats with the assistance of some Republicans are again chipping away and attacking the Word of God, our Holy Bible. Homosexuality and lesbian activity is wrong in the Bible. It is wrong in society.

As recently as some forty to fifty years ago, homosexuality and lesbian activity was somewhat rare. In the recent Presidential terms under Bill Clinton and specifically Barack Obama, it appears that this unnatural activity seems to be somewhat of a qualification for political appointments.

Our nation and Constitution was founded on Judeo-Christian values more than two hundred thirty four (234) years ago. Many unashamed changes have become American law and tradition since 1963 when our Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) removed our Bible teachings from public schools. Since that time, we are raising a third generation, some of whom now do not know or even hear the Biblical moral and historical importance of following the Holy Bible:

Leviticus 18:22 (KJV) 22: Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Leviticus 20:13 (KJV) 13: If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Romans 1:26-27 (KJV) 26: For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Romans 1:26-28: (KJV) 26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

May I suggest everyone to study the Federalist Papers http://www.foundingfathers.info/federalistpapers/ for review the association between our founding fathers’ Christian values and the teachings within our Holy Bible!

The recent condemnation of our Bible was when the U.S. Senate voted on the legislation, “Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010”, Vote Number 281, H.R. 2965, http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=2&vote=00281 by a vote ’65 for’ to ’31 against’ with ‘4 not voting’.

All fifty-five Democrat Party Senators who voted did vote for “Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010”. Fourteen Democrats who voted in support of “Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal” and are up for re-elections in 2012: Akaka (D-HI), Bingaman-NM, Brown-OH, Cantwell-WA, Cardin-MD, Carper-DE, Casey-PA, Conrad-ND, Feinstein-CA, Nelson (D-FL), Nelson (D-NE), Stabenow-MI, Tester (D-MT), Whitehouse-RI.

Thirty-one Republican Party Senators voted against “Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal”, while 8 Republican Party Senators voted for “Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal”: Bennett-UT, Brown-MA, Burr-NC, Collins-ME, Ensign-NV, Kirk-IL, Murkowski-AK, Snowe-ME, Voinovich-OH. It must be noted that Senators Brown and Snowe are up for re-election in 2012.

Both Independent Party Senators Lieberman-CT and Sanders-VT voted for “Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal”.

Homosexuality and lesbian activity with or without “Don’t ask, don’t tell” is wrong as described in the Holy Word. It is wrong in our culture. To promote the mixing of homosexuality and lesbian activity in the US Military or any other mix in society is generating a collapse in humanity.

I ask you to join me with Liberty counsel: http://www.lc.org/ to overturn “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” repeal.

Democrats Dream Act is an American criminal nightmare

By Oscar Y. Harward

Majority Democrat Party members in the U.S. Senate continue to press the issue of “amnesty” for “Illegal Immigrants”. What Senate Democrats call the “Dream Act” is more akin to an American criminal nightmare. Illegal immigrants are criminals, as they ascertain a fraudulent SS Card, fraudulent ID, fraudulent Driver Operator’s License, etc. With the fraudulent credentials, the “illegal immigrant” proceeds to visit employers for a job.

Our U.S. economy is in recession. Many are struggling to maintain their homes and their families. Granting “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants” creates more economic burdens on all, and specifically, the African-American communities. “Amnesty” for “illegal immigrants” will generate elevated unemployment in our minority communities. Americans support “legal immigration”. Americans oppose “illegal immigration”.

“Illegal immigrants” abuse our hospitals and other medical facilities, our Social Services, our public schools, etc., all at the expense of Americans taxpayers. These added costs prevent legal citizens from receiving adequate needs and services. The real issue in opposing “Illegal immigrants” is associated with the increasing criminal activity that is also entering America. Democrats should explain how their proposed “Dream Act” will disassociate criminal element “illegal immigrants” from criminal Islamic Muslin terrorists.

On December 14, 2010, a U.S. Border Patrol Officer was shot and murdered near the U.S. – Mexican border. Where is President Obama or Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano? Neither shows up on the crime scene? President Obama sends our US Military to fight in the Middle East and visits the assigned troops in the Middle East. Obama fails to send adequate U.S. Military troops to our U.S. – Mexican border or even visit the murder scene when Mexican cartels may be the murderers on American soil. Mexican cartels are gaining control of Americans’ properties. Law enforcement officers are dying without ample support from the Obama administration.

Under the present legislation, rather than requiring “illegal immigrants” to go through the current system to obtain citizenship, the Obama/Reid/Pelosi teams are attempting to legislate “amnesty citizenship” to “illegal immigrant” criminals.

According to current political polls, 65% of Americans are saying, “Seal the border”. President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and other supporting Capitol Hill Democrats are blocking these calls instead of blocking the borders.

On December 18, 2010, Vote Number 278 for “S. Amendment 3 to H.R. 5281” of the Democrats’, “The Dream Act”, the US Senate failed a Cloture vote ‘55 for’ and ‘41 against’ with ‘4 not voting’. Cloture would require a vote of 60 or more “for Cloture” on “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants”. http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=2&vote=00278.

Fifty Democrat Party Senators voted “for Cloture”; and in support of “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants”. It must be noted that Fifteen Democrats who voted in support of “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants” and are up for re-elections in 2012 are: Bingaman-NM, Brown-OH, Cantwell-WA, Cardin-MD, Carper-DE, Casey-PA, Conrad-ND, Feinstein-CA, Gillibrand-NY, Klobuchar-MN, Kohl-WI, McCaskill-MO, Menendez-NJ Stabenow-MI, Webb-VA, Whitehouse-RI.

Thirty-six Republican Party Senators voted to “oppose Cloture”, and against “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants”, while 3 Republican Party Senators voted “for Cloture” and in support of “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants” (Bennett-UT, Lugar-IN, and Murkowski-AK). It must be noted that Senator Lugar is up for re-election in 2012.

Both Independent Party Senators Lieberman-CT and Sanders-VT voted “for Cloture”; and in support of “amnesty” for “illegal immigrants”.

When will President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and other supporting Democrat members on Capitol Hill discontinue their plan to cram “amnesty” for “illegal immigration” down (y)our throats”? Americans continue to say “NO”. What Senate Democrats call the “Dream Act” is more akin to an American criminal nightmare.

Governor Perdue questions voters’ abilities

By Oscar Y. Harward

For the first time in more than one hundred years, Republicans won a majority in both branches of the N.C. Legislature. Now Governor Perdue is calling for changing the rules of the legislature in redistricting.

Governor Perdue, where was your voice on representation while serving in the N.C. legislature and/or as Lt. Governor? Your record shows that you supported the Democrat Party’s legislation on almost every turn. Did you “ever” question the sprawling and, perhaps otherwise, unconstitutional districts’ representation as drawn out by your own majority Democrat Party? Prior to your elected offices, can you present any evidence that you explored any spotlight on this topic?

In November 1972, Jim Holshouser became the first Republican Party nominee elected Governor of N.C. in more than one hundred years. One of the majority Democrat Party’s first legislative actions was to change the law prohibiting Gov. Holshouser from appointing a new N.C. State Board of Elections Executive Director.

Democrat Party nominee Jim Hunt was elected in 1976. The majority Democrat Party controlled legislature then reversed the previous law allowing Governor Hunt to reinstate political control of the Board of Elections. Gov. Hunt was the first governor allowed to become re-elected in 1980 under N.C. law.

In November 1984, Republican Party nominee Jim Martin was elected Governor of N.C. and then re-elected in 1988. One of the majority Democrat Party’s first legislative actions was to change the law prohibiting Gov. Martin from appointing a new N.C. State Board of Elections Executive Director. Eight years later, Democrat Party nominee, Jim Hunt was again elected N.C. Governor. The majority Democrat Party controlled legislature then, again, reversed the previous law allowing Governor Hunt to reinstate political control of the Board of Elections.

Governor Perdue, if it is your desire for being upfront on everything in politics, why do you not open “all” of your files for total scrutiny? The media has already revealed unethical and/or illegal activity concerning you and your campaign. Further investigations may prove that you, too, may be just as guilty of illegalities as (y)our immediate previously convicted felonious governor.

Governor Perdue, North Carolina’s citizens will establish that members of the 2011 General Assembly are qualified and capable legislators on redistricting members of the N.C. House, N.C. Senate, and U.S. House of Representatives. N.C. voters ordered a “change” in North Carolina. The end tallies represent the results.

Stop earmark legislation. Stop the spending.

By Oscar Y. Harward

“Stop the Spending” continues. There are many on Capitol Hill who refuse to hear the cry. Many Democrats with the support of President Obama continue in their effort to spend as they choose, regardless of the ear-piercing messages from Americas’ taxpayers.

On November 30, 2010, Vote Number 255 for “S. Amendment 4697 to S. 510” “To establish an earmark moratorium for fiscal years 2011, 2012, and 2013”, the US Senate defeated on a ‘39 for’ and ‘56 against’ legislation to establish a moratorium on earmarks for fiscal years 2011, 2012, and 2013.

Thirty-two Republican Senators voted for the moratorium on earmarks while 8 GOP members voted against the moratorium (Bennett-UT, Cochran-MS, Collins-ME, Inhofe-OK, Lugar-IN, Murkowski-AK, Shelby-AL, and Voinovich-OH). It must be noted that Senators Inhofe and Lugar are up for re-election in 2012.

Fifty of the fifty-seven Democrat Senators voted against the moratorium. Eighteen of these Democrats who voted against the moratorium who are up for 2012 elections: Akaka-HI, Bingaman-NM, Brown-OH, Cantwell-WA, Cardin-MD, Carper-DE, Casey-PA, Conrad-ND, Feinstein-CA, Gillibrand-NY, Klobuchar-MN, Kohl-WI, Manchin-WV, Nelson-NE, Stabenow-MI, Tester-MT, Webb-VA, Whitehouse-RI.

Both Independent Senators Lieberman-CT and Sanders-VT voted against the moratorium on earmarks. Some Republicans In Name Only (RINO) are courting Sen. Lieberman to change his political registration and join the GOP. Sen. Lieberman is a left-wing spending and pro-abortionist Liberal. He votes Conservative on U.S. Military operations only. Republicans need honorable men and women who support fiscal, social, and national security issues on all significant subjects defined in the GOP Platform.

The “big spenders” who voted against legislation to establish a moratorium on earmarks and are up for 2012 re-elections are Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).

Many Americans expect members of the Democrat Party to continue with “tax and spend” policies as this is their process that has left Americans’ debt now reaching $14 trillion. When will all Americans demand that the Democrat Party stop “out-of-control” spending, including earmarks?

After the GOP voted against legislation to establish a moratorium on earmarks, many were shocked as the GOP elected Harold “Hal” Rogers (R-KY-5th.) as incoming Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Rep. Rogers received $248 million of earmarks from 2008 through 2010. Rep. Rogers did vote with the GOP to establish a moratorium on earmarks. We hope Rep. Rogers’ vote is an honorable contribution in controlling the Capitol Hill “out-of-control” spending.

Now the Capitol Hill Democrats have put together a 1,924 page $1.27 trillion catch-all bill to continue government operations after December 18, 2910. Based on the Washington Post, the legislation includes more than 6,000 earmarks totaling $8 billion. Is this an additional Obama/Reid/Pelosi Democrat Party team “cram down (y)our throat” orchestrated piece of legislation as practiced for the past 2 years regardless of (y)our needs and/or desires?

From Newsmax.com a small list of the wasteful spending includes:

Literal pork: Almost $350,000 is earmarked to study the management of swine waste in North Carolina.

$235,000 for the management of invasive weeds in Nevada.

$300,000 for the Polynesian Voyaging Society in Hawaii. Founded in 1973, the society sails a “voyaging” boat throughout the Pacific, studying how ancient Polynesian people settled far-flung lands.

Funds are devoted to a variety of agricultural needs, including research of maple syrup in Vermont, control of potato pests in Wisconsin, the development of virus-resistant grapes in Washington state, and peanut cultivation research in Alabama.

$80 million for states and Indian tribes to pay for preservation of Pacific salmon.

$13 million for clean-water initiatives in rural villages in Alaska.

$450,000 for the World Food Prize.

$500,000 for the Edward M. Kennedy Institute.

$200,000 to install solar panels at a food bank in Arizona.

Americans are demanding to stop the spending, reduce taxes, create jobs, and restore Constitutional freedoms. Legislators must do more than balance the current and future budgets. America must begin to pay off some $14 trillion debt. Americans also desire a return to Judeo-Christian values. When will those on Capitol Hill listen?

GOP Executive Committee must change RNC Chairmanship

By Oscar Y. Harward

Michael Steele should be rejected as a candidate for Chairman of the Republican National Committee by the National Executive Committee. Steele continues to mishandle the important management skills within the GOP. Steele opposes critical political issues within the RNC Platform as voted on by the Republican Party National Executive Committee.

To become a majority party, the Republican Party National Executive Committee must seek a more responsible supervisor on the fiscal, social, national defense, and other issues as clearly defined. The GOP Chairman must have a passion for these critical issues as the foundation of the Republican Party and the RNC Platform.

During the most recent 2 years, Michael Steele has revealed that he lacks the ability and/or knowledge to manage GOP expenditures on fiscal and moral issues and/or raise funds from so many whom, otherwise, would gladly financially support the Republican Party.

The Republican Party must have a responsible Chairman/Chairperson who lives and practices the values as confirmed by a GOP majority and within the GOP Platform.

Christianity is alive and well in Union County, NC

By Oscar Y. Harward

At 7:00 pm on December 6, 2010, Union County, NC Commissioners held their first meeting in the Union County, NC Government Center for the December assembly in even numbered years for swearing-in ceremonies for 3 newly elected Union County Commissioners. Christian values run deep in these 3 families. Union County’s residents and visitors witnessed one of the most respectful “Christian” expressions in local government of my entire lifetime as Union County Commissioners Jerry Simpson was sworn-in as new Chairman, Todd Johnson sworn-in as Vice Chairman, and Jonathan Thomas sworn-in as the third newly elected Commissioner.

Each newly elected Commissioner brought their own “old” family Bibles for the ceremonies. Jerry Simpson was sworn-in on a 1944 family Bible, Todd Johnson on an 1892 family Bible, and Jonathan Thomas on an 1891 family Bible. Each of the three new board members, in their remarks during “Commissioners’ Comments”, presented an illustration of their personal beliefs in good government and Judeo-Christian values. Government needs more fiscal and social values in government. As for many others and me in the audience, it was merely an evening of “Wow”!

After the commissioners’ meeting, Spiro’s Hilltop Bistro & Bar provided Hors D’oeuvres for all in attendance.

As our new Union County, NC Commissioners move along with the business of government, you will see a new majority and more receptive approach to the voters’ desires and needs. Union County, North Carolina, and many other locations all over our United States of America are in a state of recession. Many national, state, and local governments continue to spend excessively above their incoming revenues; thus creating deficit spending. Much of these spending habits are about to change, and must do so in order to survive financially. Many newly elected officials in Union County, North Carolina, and across America have heard the scream to “Stop the Spending”, and restore our Constitutional freedoms.

Again, thanks to each of you in your efforts to make 2010 a successful election year in restoring fiscal and social issues and our Constitutional freedoms for Union County, North Carolina, and the U.S.A.

God Bless America!

Capitol Hill Democrats just do not understand economics in a free society

By Oscar Y. Harward

Thank you Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), for your intelligent input on the US Senate floor concerning the Capitol Hill Democrats’ leadership in preventing the extension of the G.W. Bush tax relief legislation. The Capitol Hill Democrats just don’t get it!

America’s cry in the November 2 election was to “stop the spending” and “create jobs, jobs, and more jobs”. These liberal Capitol Hill Democrats continue to spend more of (y)our tax revenues, then increase taxes on the very ones who have the abilities and that includes resources to create more jobs. Does Capitol Hill Democrats plan to find lower-income and middle-income persons to create new jobs and the expansion of existing jobs? Capitol Hill Democrats will give their all to Labor Unions and their leaders who destroy joys, but refuse to help the very ones who create jobs.

The Obama/Reid/Pelosi team continues with a totally failed economic plan as the Capitol Hill Democrats choose to persist on “taxing the rich”, rather than encouraging the enticement of creating more jobs. Their “scam” is to blame upper-income taxpayers for the Capitol Hill Democrats’ own failures. American workers want jobs so as they can go to work. Capitol Hill Democrats continue to weaken our economy with their destabilization approach.

How does tax relief assist would-be middle-income workers who do not have a job? All higher-income and middle-income taxpayers need tax relief. Capitol Hill Democrats just do not understand that higher-income taxpayers do create new jobs and expand existing jobs.

Capitol Hill Republicans are insisting that legislators continue the G.W. Bush tax cuts to all indefinitely. The tax relief is needed to encourage middle-income individuals and families to maintain their families, their homes, etc. Higher-income taxpayers need tax relief to invest in new businesses and expand existing businesses.

One percent of the higher-income taxpayers pay “38% of all taxes” collected. Ten percent of the higher-income taxpayers pay “70% of all taxes” collected by our government. 47% of all households in America owed no income taxes for 2009.

Are Capitol Hill Democrats legislating redistribution of America’s wealth by taxing the higher-income more and more rather than encouraging the higher-income taxpayers to invest in more and more jobs?

Some Capitol Hill Democrats suggested that Sen. McConnell is insulting their abilities. For whatever the Capitol Hill Democrats believe and/or practice, each and all should take a short class on “Economics 101” so as they may understand growing an economy in a free and open market.

G.W. Bush’s tax relief for all in a recovering economy

The issue of a fragile economy continues. President Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats just do not get it. A recovering economy compels new jobs, jobs, and more jobs. Will the Capitol Hill Democrats ever learn simple economics? Are the Capitol Hill Democrats so wrapped up in Socialism to even consider a free and open economy?

President Obama and majority Capitol Hill Democrats continue to demand that G.W. Bush’s tax cuts, if expanded, must go to middle income taxpayers while denying tax-relief to the upper-income taxpayers. Democrats are now suggesting that they will expand the tax cuts to all for one year.

America, Capitol Hill Democrats Plan is a political “trap” designed to never allow the GOP to offer tax relief to higher-income taxpayers. With their plan, Democrats would return to their older, disgraceful strategy that Republicans will only support the rich.

Leaders of the Republican Party on Capitol Hill are insisting legislators to continue the G.W. Bush tax cuts indefinitely. The tax relief is needed to encourage upper-income taxpayers to invest in new businesses.

The question is when and where do Capitol Hill Democrats propose for new jobs and the expansion of existing jobs going to come from? How many new jobs have you witnessed lower and middle income taxpayers create? What good is tax relief for lower and middle income taxpayers unless there are jobs? The answer is to provide tax relief for all so as the higher income taxpayers are willing to put up their resources in creating new jobs as well as expanding existing jobs.

Capitol Hill Democrats continue to force the issue to increase taxes on higher-income taxpayers. Capitol Hill Democrats’ plan is a manipulation of the facts. Higher-income taxpayers do create new jobs and expand existing jobs. Capitol Hill Democrats continue to doom an economic recovery by promising more and more to the poor when, in fact, America is nearing bankruptcy.

47% of all households in America owed no income taxes for 2009. Ten percent of the higher-income taxpayers pay 70% of all taxes collected by our government. One percent of the higher-income taxpayers pay 38% of all taxes collected. How much more does Capitol Hill Democrats believe they can continue to bleed upper-income taxpayers before the taxpayers decide to quit creating jobs and expanding existing jobs?

You may remember that in December 2009, President Obama invited CEO’s, some small business leaders, and many of his SEIU, AFL/CIO, and other labor union supporters in his Economic Growth Forum.

How many jobs came out of President Obama’s Economic Growth Forum?
