Mitch McConnell to Obama - No Compromise on Tax Hikes

This is interesting. President Alinsky Obama officially made House Minority Leader John Boehner his target in this campaign season. He wants the voters to fear the man with the tan. John Boehner then came out and said he'd be willing to go along with a bill raising taxes on the rich, while leaving tax cuts for the middle class in place, if that what his only option.



Senator Mitch McConnell, the Senate Minority Leader, has thrown a monkey wrench into matters. McConnell is hardly an ultra conservative, but in this case, he's indicating there will be no compromise.

Reuters: In a political gambit, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell proposed a freeze on all tax brackets, insisting that cuts for wealthier Americans, as well as for the middle class,must be kept in place.

"I'm introducing legislation today that ensures that no one in this country will pay higher income taxes next year than they are right now," McConnell said on the Senate floor.

With control of the Senate, Democrats should be able to dictate whether there is a vote on the tax question ahead of the election but it is far from clear if they have enough party unity on the issue. McConnell may be hoping for enough defectors to bring his measure to the floor.

If Congress fails to take any action on the tax cuts enacted for all Americans under George W. Bush, Obama's

Republican predecessor, then they will expire at the end of this year.

Positions are so deeply entrenched and the risks so high for both sides that lawmakers may opt to put the issue on hold until after the election.

What's Obama to do now? He's chosen his target, honed in on it, and now this? Will he have two targets? Won't that be less effective? I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the White House right now.

This is a risky move on the part of McConnell, and he's never struck me as one to take big risks. I think it's worth it, though. There are at least a few Democrats who are well aware that raising taxes on anybody during a recession will hurt an already fragile economy.

Let's just hope this gamble pays off for Senator McConnell, the economy and the American people.

Hey, whoever said politics was boring?

Ohio Public High School Target for Obama Organizing for America Recruiting ?

Barack Obama's Organizing for America is being used as a tool for recruiting students to the alter of Saul Alinsky. Pam Geller at Atlas Shrugs received information from a reader about Perry Local High School in Massillon, Ohio, where her high school junior's Government class has allegedly distributed recruiting materials from Obama's Organizing for America (OFA). Nothing like rounding-up the high school kids - lots of energetic bodies - to campaign in the November elections.

The materials include a Recommended Reading List (Page 4), which includes Rules for Radicals, Saul Alinsky, and The New Organizers, Zack Exley.

OFA is a project of the Democratic National Committee. There is nothing obscure about this group. I've noticed that some think this "internship" is outdated, and no longer available, but NewsBusters found a January 13, 2010 application for a spring 2010 internship application.

The same article shows a posting at Environment Link, dated January 8th:

Organizing for America (OFA) has two priorities: (1) organize support for President Obama’s policy agenda, and (2) build and strengthen the grassroots organization we built during the 2008 campaign by training and empowering people to have an impact in their own communities.  The most important thing OFA does is build support for and educate citizens about President Obama’s policies for change.

The NB post says the internship requires a minimum of 12 hours per week, and would be based out of "our Seattle office."

 

Organizing for America Recruiting 

A snippet of Geller's commentary:

Obama is using our public school system to recruit for his alinsky-inspired private army. Organizing for America is (and I quote) recruiting schools to "build on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda"....of national socilaism.

This is incredible. And evil. Suffer the little children -- enlisted like SS youth. This is no accident. Obama is poisoning our public school system. He acts as if it's his own private breeding farm. Once again academic learning  and achievement is hopelessly abandoned, and supplanted by radical leftist activism from the leftwing Alinsky indoctrinators in the perverse public school system.

Ray at ChicagoRay left this comment:

Brought to us by the same people who forbid or wish to keep the Military from recruiting on high school or college campuses.

Read the entire article at Atlas Shrugs and seriously think about your tax dollars being used by the Democratic National Committee to re-elect Barack Obama, as well Obama using tax dollars to indoctrinate,and shape our youth to make Socialist-Marxist government a sure thing in America. Remember Obama's plan for a  Civilian National Security Force? Who but our youth would be a part of this? We must vigilently "speculate." He said it. Let us not forget it.

Rahm Emanuel Sean Hannity: Rahm Emanuel First Amendment Overrated (video)

In the video below, Rahm Emanuel tells a reporter the First Amendment is overrated. This administration is a parasite sucking the lifeblood, which is freedom, out of our Republic. So many things have happened so quickly in the past year, we can't begin to keep up, and that is the plan of the Marxist, Communist Saul Alinsky, at whose feet Barack Obama learned the tools of organizing America into a force to destruct, and reconstruct our Nation into the highest order of socialism by:

...feel[ing] so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and chance the future ~ Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals (prologue page xix)

The disruption of the present organization is the first step toward community organization. Present arrangements [US Constitution] must be disorganized if they are to be displaced by new patterns ~ Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals (page 116 in my trade paperback)

To make the audacious dreams of Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel come true, they have to denigrate the First Amendment, change it, "word code" it, demolish it. We must find a way to keep track of the chaos this administration is purposefully engineering. Here is another Alinsky quote that describes the puzzling behavior of the birth, death and rebirth of health care, all within one week after the election of Republican Senator Scott Brown from Massachusetts:

Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose. ~ Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals (Page 128 in my trade paperback)
