The Sacrificial Lamb
Those of you that visit my blog know that I have strong feelings on ILLEGAL immigration. I support immigration reform but NOT a plan that offers amnesty to those that broke the law to come to America. I believe most immigrants are good people just looking for a better life but those that CHOSE to break the law and live under the radar should NOT be REWARDED with citizenship,but rather should go to the back of the line. In short, I welcome immigrants with open arms. LEGAL immigrants!
Liberals have done a good job of positioning themselves as the champions of minorities and ILLEGAL immigrants. I could go on and on with example after example of how these "champions" have actually hurt inner city blacks and all other minority groups by basically enslaving them into the fold of political warfare. They are used as pawns on the electoral battlefield and then cast away to fend for themselves in an economy rife with special interest corruption and stifling government intrusion....until the next election cycle rolls around,when they will ,yet again, be offered up as sacrificial lambs.
Liberals are obviously good at keeping this game alive. Since the Civil rights act of 1965 and the subsequent "WAR ON POVERTY" not much has changed to improve the fortunes of minorities in America.Despite BILLIONS of dollars aimed at this issue minorities still languish as political marionette's, until pulled out the box every two years to play their victim role choreographed by the liberal machine.
The sad story of Meg Whitmans housekeeper illustrates this tragedy ever so clearly. The "compassionate" Gloria Allred has offered up this poor woman for sacrifice to help elect her long time political ally Jerry Brown. Who knows what promised were made or what was offered but I cant understand why a housekeeper that BROKE THE LAW,FORGED DOCUMENTS and lied repeatedly would forsake an employer that paid her $23 an hour and treated her fairly for 9 years.
Allreds "complaint" states that Whitman owes the housekeeper money for "driving expenses" and offers her up as a "victim" while ignoring that she was obviously aptly compensated with a wage many AMERICANS would love to make. Allred is evidently oblivious to the fact that the compensation paid also blows a huge hole in any accusations that Whitman "exploited" this woman.
Whitman hired this woman through a reputable employment agency and was provided documents that this woman was LEGAL to work in the U.S. Allred sites a letter from Social Security as "proof" Whitman knew of the housekeepers status. Ive seen copies of this letter and it merely asks for clarification of the housekeepers social security number and expressly PROHIBITS WHITMAN FROM FROM TAKING ANY ACTION TO PENALISE OR TERMINATE THE EMPLOYEE! Whitmans husband passed the letter on to the housekeeper and considered the issue handled.
In June of 2009 the housekeeper approaches the Whitmans and tells them that since Meg is running for Governor they should be aware that she is an ILLEGAL alien. The Whitmans faced a hard decision but chose to follow the law and terminate her immediately. Whitman has espoused how difficult this was but stayed true to her convictions and the letter of the law and did what was necessary.
Now that Allred ,and I presume the Brown campaign, have offered up this sacrifice in a weak attempt to discredit Whitman, they have put this woman in great jeopardy. She will at least be investigated by ICE but could also be brought up on fraud charges and possibly spend a little time in jail before she is deported. I don't know if Allred may have issues with the California BAR Assoc for knowingly putting her client in legal jeopardy but it matters little when you consider the liberal cesspool that IS the "left coast"oligarchy. Allred will not suffer for her lack of compassion nor for her willful disregard for this woman's legal problems. The left coast liberals will simply milk this for all its worth and regardless the outcome in November, the housekeeper will be soon forgotten and cast out to fend for herself....unless she proves useful in a future election cycle. Liberal compassion is wonderful sentiment.....on the surface.

Odessacon would like to welcome JDog as financial expert.
JDog’s BIO
I have spent all 32 years of my business life in the financial industry, principally engaged in the trading of currencies, commodities and securities in the international arena. In my early business life I found it extremely interesting to learn and watch economies, other than just the United States. That interest continues today. As such I have learned the reactions of not only the “markets” to specific monetary policy(s), but also the general population’s reaction too. Today, what too many Americans fail to recognize is the absolute globalization of economies and workforces. Domestic policies that used to work in the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s are just obsolete. A U.S. economic policy intended to extract “X” from Americans, is felt by and reacted to a multitude of foreign countries and their markets. Failure to foretell the reactions of foreign entities is the perfect recipe for failure.
TAXING THE RICH
Sounds good to me. Sounds like a logical solution to part of our government’s deficit. Why not?
First, before we can tax the “Rich” we have to define “Rich”. Is rich really an individual income of $200k or a family income of $250k, (Top 2% of income producers)? Well, it certainly may appear so if you’re making $40k for your family of four. I beg to differ. A family of four with an annual income of $250k has the ability to be self-sufficient and clear of any financial needs from the government; I see this as a good thing. This family can afford their medical expenses, fund the children’s college needs, make their mortgage payment, buy a new car every 5-6 years and save enough money for their retirement. By increasing this family’s tax burden, we simply move them closer to relying on government assistance; this is a bad thing.
Lets’ look at the top 1% of income producers; $800k for a family. These people have excess income after assuring their independence from government assistance. They also have the disposable income that can be used as venture capital to start new enterprises that generate the vast majority of permanent new jobs. These are the people that spurred the dotcom boom. These are the people who spurred the housing boom. These are the people that have the greatest tax loopholes!!! These are the people that have “off-shore” accounts and “charitable foundations”. These people are beyond self-sufficient, they are “Rich” by any definition. But, do we really need to raise their taxes? I say No.
What we really need to do is simplify the tax codes by eliminating many of the “loopholes” that only are within the reach of a few. Did you know that you can contribute 50% of your annual income to charity - tax free? So, the Clinton’s, Gate’s, Buffet’s, etc. put 50% of their income into THEIR charitable foundation and avoid the tax liability. Then, the foundation pays for their travel, hotels, limos, lunches, dinners, autos, boats, country club(s), etc. All they have to do is “mention” their foundation and the expense qualifies.
In most industrialized countries, a tax bracket is just that. If Sweden taxes “rich” individuals at a 35% tax bracket, that is exactly what is paid to the government; no deductions/loopholes. Did you know that Warren Buffet readily admitted that he only paid 17% in taxes for 2009 (total for Federal, State and Local), while his Administrative Assistant paid 34%? This was made possible by the loopholes, nothing else. Even Buffet advocates simplification of the tax codes; and he’s really rich!
But STOP. Is raising or collecting more taxes going to solve ANYTHING? Any answer other than NO is just plain wrong. No increase in tax rates or revenues (on the “rich” or otherwise) will provide one ounce of relief unless our government STOPS spending. This is where our government loses the faith of the people. Why would anyone advocate increasing taxes on anyone when our government is uncommitted to reducing their spending habits? How can ANYONE believe that any increase in taxes, on anyone, is a good thing when historical evidence proves our government will find a way to squander it?
I’m all for increasing taxes, even on the families making $250k per year, but it MUST be offset with a dollar-for-dollar decrease in government spending. If that means cutting Entitlement programs, cut them. If that means raising the Social Security age, raise it. Our Government can’t afford its current deficit with interest rates at .25%. What shall we do if interest rates rise to 5%!!!
Raising taxes without equal cuts in spending is merely CHANGE for the worse – for EVERYONE.

Liberal Omnipotence
As usual democrats have politicised and issue and are banking that Americans are too stupid to see through their faulty assertions. They have tried to position themselves as champions of the "workin man" in hopes of staving off abysmal losses in November.On the surface this rhetoric sounds wonderful and has obviously been swallowed whole by our "enlightened" friends on the left.The problem for liberals is, you need only scratch the surface to see the hypocrisy and fallacy of this political ploy.
Here are the facts:
Liberals decry the hole in the budget that extending tax cuts for the top 2% of the country would cause. Its widely reported and there is a consensus that this number is $700 Billion. Contradicting themselves and their "concern" for budget deficits liberals hope to garner votes by extending tax cuts to the middle class that would total $3 TRILLION! So much for fiscal responsibility.
Lets look at the $700 billion for a second. liberals are ever so concerned about this number. This is the number we would "lose" if we extend tax cuts to the top 2% of earners. So if we try to understand liberal logic here, we must ignore the $767 billion dollars of "stimulus" liberals have already spent to jump start the economy and the fact that it has had dismal results in achieving its goal. We are also expected to turn a blind eye to the fact that this $700 Billion would be left in the hands of the investors and job creators.
We have all seen the lack of success the $767 billion of stimulus has had. Jobless claims continue,investment is stymied and consumer confidence is at all time lows. I cant help but think that if our liberal leaders in congress would stop the uncertainty around the tax cuts and place confidence where it belongs, in the hands of the private sector job creators that we would start to move out of this recession.
Pelosi and her ilk failed to move on this issue this week and left this issue and any prospect of recovery to languish yet again. I can only imagine that their desire to gain political power through class warfare and economic envy is the strategy being implemented this election season. They have already tried to sell the lie that republican obstruction has caused the gridlock on this issue. That's a tough sell when you consider they have solid majorities in both houses. Wouldn't common sense tell you that some democrats don't support the classicism espoused by the liberal leadership? Its also interesting to note that Future Speaker Boenner said he "had the votes" to pass tax cuts for all Americans".
The elitist attitude displayed by Pelosi is obviously backfiring on her and her supporters and will only deepen the losses this November. It just shows how far out of touch they have become and how they view the public as ignorant serfs who will believe anything they say. The old saying "give them enough rope......" comes to mind. Drunk on power and convinced of their omnipotence the liberal elites don't seem to notice that the noose is around their neck and they are already standing on the electoral trap door.

Conservative VS Liberal Political 101 by Tony Rollo - Liberalism and Con...
Odessacons Opinion Press

Conservatives condenm homophobia
The Liberal media has tried to make much hay out the story from Montana,where a small group of republicans in the STATE legislature are trying to introduce a bill to ban homosexual activity.Myself and my fellow conservatives have made it perfectly clear that we SUPPORT EQUAL TREATMENT of Homosexuals!Notice I said EQUAL treatment and NOT SPECIAL treatment!This is a small group of close minded assholes that don't understand the the intent of the Constitution and seek to push THEIR morality on other people. We should all know by now that you cant legislate morality and your PERSONAL opinions have NO PLACE in legislation if they infringe on someone Else's pursuit of happiness.
Lumping all conservatives in with these guys and trying to scare people that the religious right is taking over the country is irresponsible
It would be like a conservative trying to say that all democrats support forced population controls or Homosexual indoctrination in our schools which are tenants of the FAR left.
This is just MORE evidence of how desperate the left is because they know they have abysmal losses to face in November.
Politicians on BOTH sides of the aisle resort to scare tactics when they have lost the argument on the FACTS.
I trust the American people are smart enough to see through this canard.
Just so you know-if mainstream conservative politicians would happen to support this outlandish policy-you would see the grassroots tea party movement come out IN FORCE to defend homosexual CIVIL RIGHTS!
Homosexuals for the most part ALREADY enjoy Equal treatment. We have many laws to protect them from discrimination and they are free to live their lives as they see fit.I personally care less if Ted wants to doink Kevin or Mary wants to kiss Carrie,Its not my business.Ill raise my family how I see fit and they can do the same.However,I would bet that Ted and Kevin raise some screwed up kids!....just sayin.
The debate has come to the use of a word."Marriage".I have to ask myself....Isn't CHANGING the traditional meaning of a word SPECIAL TREATMENT? "Marriage" has ALWAYS been defined as between a man and a woman.....right? Why not be happy with a term of their choice that aptly describes their union? They could call it a "Fairiage" for all I care, as long as they get EQUAL TREATMENT under the law.
The pro-gay marriage crowd tells me I don't have exclusive rights to a word and I don't disagree with them....but words DO have SPECIFIC meanings.I mean if you want a vodka tonic and you get a bloody mary,your not gonna be happy.They BOTH have vodka but are two VERY DIFFERENT things.
In the spirit of compromise,Ill make them a deal: Since I don't have exclusive ownership of any words,and that would imply that they don't either.How about this? Ill trade you "marriage" for "faggot" and we'll call it a day?Its Only fair. You say we cant use that word because its divisive,well I happen to think that your use of "marriage" for a union between two people of the same sex is equally divisive.
The homosexuals have ALREADY achieved 98% of their quest for equal treatment. Now they are holding out on the last 2% over the use of a word. This is obviously more about acceptance and affirmation than it is about equal treatment.As long as they draw these ridiculous petty lines,they will only alienate more people like me, that support EQUAL treatment for EVERYONE!

Conservatives VS Liberals revisited
Most Conservatives make decisions based on facts,research and common sense.
Liberals make decisions based on emotions and perceptions.
Conservatives believe in limited government which by definition implies MORE FREEDOM.
Liberals believe Americans are too stupid to think for themselves and want the government to think for them which by definition is OPPRESSION.
Conservatives believe there are traditions in our country that made us a great, compassionate ,prosperous people.We want to keep those traditions. We also KNOW that we haven't been perfect and have made mistakes-we learned from them and don't wish to reinstate those misguided Ideals. We can admit our failures but also know we have done far more good for this world than bad.
Liberals believe that to be "enlightened"you have to be able to blur the line of even the most basic truths. they don't believe there is such a thing as good or bad...its all gray area and subject to emotional interpretation rather than factual INFORMATION. They also refuse to admit that despite Americas growing pains that we were the FIRST to FREE OUR SLAVES and that we STILL LEAD THE WORLD in FREEDOM,PROSPERITY and COMPASSION.They cant admit that our "evil wars"have FREED MILLIONS of people from evil oppressors.They cant see that our prosperity has raised living standards for those countries willing to follow our lead.Liberals are green with envy and wish to penalize those that have found more success than them.....even if it means they sink the whole ship.
When you live your life based on individual freedom and take responsibility for YOUR OWN destiny,more often than not you will find success.
When you live your life hating envying and living life based on emotion and not reality ,you will never be happy. When you rely on OTHERS for your success and demand redistribution of their wealth you will drag everyone down.Liberalism IS self-destruction on an individual and a societal level.
