Children of the Corn - The Renewable Fuels Disaster

Quoting The American:

How government policy can push more than
100 million people below the extreme poverty line
“Deficit hawks, environmentalists, and food processors are celebrating the expiration of the ethanol tax credit. This corporate handout gave $0.45 to ethanol producers for every gallon they produced and cost taxpayers $6 billion in 2011. So why did the powerful corn ethanol lobby let it expire without an apparent fight? The answer lies in legislation known as the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), which creates government-guaranteed demand that keeps corn prices high and generates massive farm profits. Removing the tax credit but keeping the RFS is like scraping a little frosting from the ethanol-boondoggle cake.”

George Stephanopoulos is a despicable propagandist

Unless he is phenomenally ignorant, George Stephanopolus knows damn well each state has (under the tenth Amendment) the theoretical power -- IF they chose to -- to ban contraceptives. He also knows that there (quite properly) isn’t a politician ANYWHERE in the country who would EVER vote to do so.

This despicable little bitch (Stephanopolus) KNOWINGLY formulated a question which -- if answered honestly -- would be dishonestly used by EVERY Dim from now to eternity to slander anybody foolish enough to fall into his slimy little trap.

Stephanopolus should be immediately FIRED for a GROSS violation of journalistic ethics (if there is such a thing anymore).

We now return you to the real world.

Tony Blankley, R.I.P.

Quoting The Washington Times:

“Tony Blankley died this weekend after a long battle with cancer. His passing is a sad loss for America, the nation’s capital and The Washington Times, all of which he served with great honor and decency. He was editorial page editor of this newspaper for five years. His example, wisdom and political perspective will continue as guiding lights for the work we do here.”

Tony will be sorely missed.

Government - The redistributionist behemoth

Quoting George Will
(I inserted the links):

“Liberals have a rendezvous with regret. Their largest achievement is today’s redistributionist government. But such government is inherently regressive: It tends to distribute power and money to the strong, including itself…

The welfare state’s primary purpose is to subsidize the last years of Americans’ lives, and the elderly are, after a lifetime of accumulation, better off than most Americans…

When taxes are levied not to efficiently fund government but to impose this or that notion of distributive justice, remember: Taxes are always coerced contributions to government, which is always the first, and often the principal, beneficiary of them.”

Obama's Epic Failure - December Jobs Edition

As reported by Newsbusters, the Obama media are falling all over themselves to sing the praises of unemployment falling all the way from 8.6% in November (when 315,000 stopped looking for jobs) to 8.5% in December (thanks to holiday related seasonal hiring).

Somehow lost in all these hosannas sung for Obama (the great Messiah) is the fact that Obama promised that, if Congress rushed through the passage of his so-called “stimulus” package, unemployment would now be down to 6.0%. Without the “stimulus”, Obama warned we would now have 6.8% unemployed.

So, by Obama’s own metrics, his so-called “stimulus” (predictably) actually made things worse -- FAR WORSE!

But, count on the Obama media to portray abject failure as a grand success (so long as a Democrat led the charge).
