There’s a story on JSOnline pointing out the how much democrats really feel about the Constitution.

The PSC, which oddly enough is an acronym for the PUBLIC Service Commission, is requiring utilities to lobby legislators to adopt the policies of Gov. Jim (The Dictator) Doyle’s global warming task force. Now if you’re not sure what global warming is, go outside without a jacket and see if you can last 10 minutes, that’s the democrat’s definition of global warming.

In case you haven’t figured this out yet, requiring somebody or some company to lobby for legislation whether you agree on it or not violates the 1st Amendment of the Constitution……

JSOnline:

A Green Bay utility says state regulators overstepped their bounds and violated its free-speech rights by requiring that the company lobby the Legislature in support of Gov. Jim Doyle’s global warming task force.

The bill reflecting the findings of the task force has not yet been drafted. But language in a Public Service Commission decision that set electricity rates for customers of Wisconsin Public Service Corp. tells the utility that it “should” support a proposal adopted by the Global Warming Task Force last year to expand the amount of renewable energy used in the state by 2025.

“This is kind of like a police officer picking up someone for speeding on I-43 and saying, ‘If you write a check to the Police Benevolent Association, we’ll forget about this whole speeding deal,’?” said Rep. Phil Montgomery, (R-Ashwaubenon), the leading voice in the Republican caucus on energy issues.

Business groups concerned about the cost of global warming mandates chimed in against the commission’s decision.

“In trying to force a regulated utility to lobby on behalf of the task force provisions, we think the agency clearly was overreaching here and sending us down a very slippery slope,” said Todd Stuart, executive director of the Wisconsin Industrial Energy Group.

Along with the other state utilities on the task force, WPS had voted in favor of the recommendations last year when the panel was considering a menu of proposals – including a proposal to increase the amount of renewable energy that state utilities supply to Wisconsin residents. But that’s far different from agreeing to support a bill, Montgomery said.

Montgomery was a co-author of a bill that required utilities to get 10% of their energy from wind turbines and other sources of renewable energy by 2015. But he worries that a 25% mandate by 2025 would drive up electricity rates.

The fact that the language requiring the utility to lobby for the bill was included in a rate case decided by the PSC, a quasi-judicial body, irked Montgomery.

“The two are not connected. Since when is it the job of a government agency to tell you that you must lobby for a piece of legislation that has not even been written yet?” Montgomery asked. “This is unheard of.”

Does this make anybody else a bit cranky?

One thing I saw on the coverage of the Obama victory rally was this:

A bunch of Obama supporters were flying those flags……. Coincidence? No, he was endorsed by the Communist Party.

Things are going to start to get tough. That lady on the news report that thought she would never have to pay for gas or her mortgage is going to be very disappointed.

More and more decisions will be made for us. It has already started in Milwaukee with the mandatory sick day mandate. Businesses will start to flee Milwaukee. When you offer something to the public that they see as being FREE, of course they’re going to vote for it but they don’t realize the consequences. Unemployment WILL rise.

Democrat will wait and wait for their hope and change. Tax will go up. Wisconsin has put itself into a 3 to 4 billion dollar hole. Doyle will flee to Washington and the state will spend another 18 billion for socialized healthcare.

This is what the democrats wanted….. Fine.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

When the government starts to decide what you should eat… Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

When they take away your cigarettes…… Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

When the government stops on the First and Second Amendments……. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

You wanted hope and change…. You got it.

I just HOPE you like the CHANGE you get.

Welcome to socialism everybody.

I’ll still be here fighting for you when you decide your change sucks and you feel hopeless.

According to Barry, spreading the wealth isn’t socialism, keeping the money that you’ve EARNED is now “selfishness.”

“The point is, though, that — and it’s not just charity, it’s not just that I want to help the middle class and working people who are trying to get in the middle class — it’s that when we actually make sure that everybody’s got a shot – when young people can all go to college, when everybody’s got decent health care, when everybody’s got a little more money at the end of the month – then guess what? Everybody starts spending that money, they decide maybe I can afford a new car, maybe I can afford a computer for my child. They can buy the products and services that businesses are selling and everybody is better off. All boats rise. That’s what happened in the 1990s, that’s what we need to restore. And that’s what I’m gonna do as president of the United States of America.

“John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic,” Obama continued. “You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness.”

You know what Barry? I don’t want MY money to be used to help support your illegal immigrant AUNTI.

Spread your own wealth………

Barry Obama was recently heard saying that there is probably a story going around that he is a communist because he shared his toys when he was in kindergarten.

We know this can’t be true because Barry has already proven that he wants to share OUR money and not his, so there is no way we could prove that he had ever shared ANY of his toys when he was in kindergarten……

I’m just sayin’

Megyn Kelly pounds Bill Burton into the ground over the Obama campaign’s accusations of Fox News being in the tank for McCain.

WOW…..

It sure would’ve been nice if Bill answered her question. This is no different than the interview with Biden. Deflect and blame a small portion of the media that actually asks the tough questions of Obama.

Sounds like a “You can’t handle the truth” moment to me.

This is a radio interview with Barry in 2001 about the redistribution of wealth. It’s not a conversation against it, it’s a conversation of HOW it can be done.

We had a little birthday party for my oldest son this weekend and this conversation came up amongst the adults. If only 60% of US Citizens pay taxes, how can Obama promise a tax cut to 95% of Americans?

This falls into the category of the economic stimulus that came out earlier this year. The economic stimulus would not have passed if the dems weren’t allowed to add the people who don’t pay taxes in to the list people who get a check.

Obama calls this fair……. How is this fair?

Jay Weber is talking about this as I’m typing so I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who seemed to notice.

This is redistribution of wealth…. SOCIALISM.

Here is the full definition of SOCIALISM from Merriam Webster:

Now let’s check back on our history and see how many socialist states have survived:

Well that’s all of them……

Read this from the Wall Street Journal

This is going to be a scary time unless a lot of people pull their heads out of their collective butts….

From Discover The Networks:

• Marxist political coalition
• Was active from 1992-1998
• Endorsed Barack Obama for Illinois state senate seat in 1996

Co-founded in 1992 by Daniel Cantor (a former staffer for Jesse Jackson‘s 1988 presidential campaign) and Joel Rogers (a sociology and law professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison), the New Party was a Marxist political coalition whose objective was to endorse and elect leftist public officials — most often Democrats. The New Party’s short-term objective was to move the Democratic Party leftward, thereby setting the stage for the eventual rise of new Marxist third party.

Most New Party members hailed from the Democratic Socialists of America and the militant organization ACORN. The party’s Chicago chapter also included a large contingent from the Committees of Correspondence, a Marxist coalition of former Maoists, Trotskyists, and Communist Party USA members.

The New Party’s modus operandi included the political strategy of “electoral fusion,” where it would nominate, for various political offices, candidates from other parties (usually Democrats), thereby enabling each of those candidates to occupy more than one ballot line in the voting booth. By so doing, the New Party often was able to influence candidates’ platforms. (Fusion of this type is permitted in seven states — Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Mississippi, New York, South Carolina, and Vermont — but is common only in New York.)

Though Illinois was not one of the states that permitted electoral fusion, in 1995 Barack Obama nonetheless sought the New Party’s endorsement for his 1996 state senate run. He was successful in obtaining that endorsement, and he used a number of New Party volunteers as campaign workers.

In 1996, three of the four candidates endorsed by the New Party won their electoral primaries. The three victors included Barack Obama (in the 13th State Senate District), Danny Davis (in the 7th Congressional District), and Patricia Martin, who won the race for Judge in the 7th Subcircuit Court. All four candidates attended an April 11, 1996 New Party membership meeting to express their gratitude for the party’s support.

The New Party’s various chapters similarly helped to elect dozens of other political candidates in a host of American cities.

One of the more notable New Party members was Carl Davidson, a Chicago-based Marxist who became a political supporter of Barack Obama in the mid-1990s.

In 1997 the New Party’s influence declined precipitously after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that electoral fusion was not protected by the First Amendment’s freedom of association clause. By 1998 the party was essentially defunct. Daniel Canto and other key party members went on to establish a new organization with similar ideals, the Working Families Party of New York.

He sought the endorsement and was endorsed by this group. Now go back and watch this video…

Now tell me which Marxist, communist or socialist government has ever flourished on this planet. That is the direction Barry wants our nation to go. Is it the direction you want it to go???????

Jeff Jacoby of the Boston Globe explains Obamanonics which another word for the redistribution of wealth.

Looks like voters have started paying attention to Obama’s economics.

On Sept. 8, Fox News broadcast an interview between Obama and Bill O’Reilly that focused on taxation and the economy. Obama repeated his pledge to cut taxes for 95 percent of Americans, while raising taxes on the tiny fraction who earn more than $250,000.

“That’s class warfare,” O’Reilly objected. “You’re taking the wealthy in America, the big earners . . . you’re taking money away from them and you’re giving it to people who don’t. That’s called income redistribution. It’s a socialist tenet. Come on, you know that.”

“Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill,” Obama replied. “Teddy Roosevelt supported a progressive income tax.” He acknowledged that he doesn’t enjoy paying taxes either – “you think I like writing the check?” – but that “there are certain things we’ve got to do.” His tax proposal, he explained, was a matter of civility:

“If I am sitting pretty and you’ve got a waitress who is making minimum wage plus tips, and I can afford it and she can’t, what’s the big deal for me to say, I’m going to pay a little bit more? That’s neighborliness.” If that is Obama’s rationale for making the tax code even more steeply progressive than it already is, it’s no wonder voters are having second thoughts about his economic aptitude.

“Neighborliness.” Perhaps that word has a nonstandard meaning to someone whose home adjoined the property of convicted swindler Tony Rezko, but extracting money by force from someone who earned it in order to give it to someone who didn’t is not usually spoken of as neighborly. If Citizen Obama, “sitting pretty,” reaches into his own pocket and helps out the waitress with a large tip, he has shown a neighborly spirit. But there is nothing neighborly about using the tax code to compel someone else to pay the waitress that tip.

Taxation is not generosity, it is confiscation at gunpoint. Does Obama not understand the difference?

Apparently Barack HUSSEIN Obama is a bit chafed about people talking about his past association with William “Let’s blow em’ up” Ayers. Barry is so pissed, he’s resorting to threatening stations who are airing the ads.

From Breitbart:

“Barack Obama is friends with Ayers, defending him as, quote, ‘Respectable’ and ‘Mainstream,’” the group’s ad states. “Obama’s political career was launched in Ayers’ home. And the two served together on a left-wing board. Why would Barack Obama be friends with someone who bombed the Capitol and is proud of it? Do you know enough to elect Barack Obama?”

In a letter to station managers, Obama campaign lawyer Robert Bauer wrote: “Your station is committed to operating in the public interest, an objective that cannot be satisfied by accepting for compensation material of such malicious falsity.”

Bauer also wrote to Deputy Assistant Attorney General John C. Keeney, noting that the ad is a “knowing and willful attempt to evade the strictures of federal election law.”

It kind of makes you wonder how President Barack HUSSEIN Obama would react to blogs or news organizations reporting bad things about the chosen one.

I’m already part of a really great sports blog and I don’t want to change my site to suite Barry…..
