William Gheen: Violent, Illegal Activities May Be Needed To Bring Down Obama (UPDATED)

William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration says he now refers to the president as “Dictator Obama” rather than “President Obama.”

We’re no longer referring to him as President Barack Obama, our national organization has made the decision and made the announcement we now refer to him as Dictator Barack Obama. That’s what he is. And basically at this point, if you’re looking for a peaceful, political recourse there really isn’t one that we can think of, and I’m really not sure what to tell people out there than I guess they need to make decisions soon to …

More On Why Agencies Need Funding

by Stuart Shapiro

Every once in a while in the current climate of slashing budgets I like to remind folks about some of the ways government helps save lives.  Food recalls is a big one.  Last week, USDA recalled 36 million pounds of ground turkey that may be contaminated with a strain of salmonella that is antibiotic resistance.  As OMB Watch describes:

A total of 79 persons infected with the outbreak strain have been reported from 26 states between Mar.1 and Aug. 3, 2011. Hospitalizations and one death have been reported. Cargill says it has suspended production of ground …

Rick Perry Would Like To Repeal The 16th Amendment

He favors a sales tax (aka the “fair tax”). Think Progress outlines the problem, particularly for those who are living off their life savings.

Imagine that you earn $10,000, and are required to pay 25 percent income tax on those earnings. That means that you are left with $7,500 that you are free to spend or save however you choose. If Perry gets his way, however, Congress will suddenly enact a massive new sales tax after you have already paid income taxes on your earnings.

If You Vote For Me…

Last week, Michele Bachmann said, “Under President Bachmann you will see gasoline come down below $2 a gallon again.”

This reminds me of the ridiculous elections for class president in elementary school. Invariably, candidates would declare, “If you vote for me, I’ll put soda in the water fountains.”

And invariably, they won.…

The Jon Huntsman Strategy: Running Against The Republican Party

His strategist, John Weaver, used the same technique in 2000 when he managed John McCain.

…he’s now attacking fellow Republicans for, among other things, not embracing the science of global warming. “To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy,” Mr. Huntsman said on Twitter, a criticism of recent remarks by Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Mr. Huntsman followed that up on Sunday on ABC, telling Jake Tapper that the GOP has a “serious problem” when it becomes “anti-science.”

The broadside was part of a larger strategy of attacking all of his GOP opponents …
