Casting aside God’s word, the Obama administration has apparently decreed that Sunday church is for political campaigning, deriding the GOP, dividing the country and getting re-elected.  Even more repulsive is that his supporters have no objection to such irreverence.

THE BLAZE

“One day before Martin Luther King Day, Senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett spoke at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

Her appearance was notable for a number of reasons. To begin with, King was a preacher at the church, so the timing of the address, during which she praised the civil rights leader for paving the way for Obama’s historic presidency, was appropriate.

But of additional interest was Jarrett’s politically-charged speech, which, according to the Weekly Standard, she delivered to the church’s congregants just before the house of worship hosted a voter registration drive. Rather than dancing around the political nature of her position to deliver a sermon or a message rooted purely in Biblical nature, she took the opportunity to lambaste Republicans.

‘Teachers, and firefighters, and policemen, whose jobs are now in jeopardy because Congress — well let me be specific — because the Republicans in Congress,’ she said….

…Additionally, the church’s pastor, Raphael Warnock, lambasted Republican Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich during his sermon. Warnock took particular issue with comments that the presidential contender made about food stamps and the African American community.

‘He is playing an old game that’s part of the southern strategy…I think he’s relying on old logic of scapegoating and race baiting,’ he said.”

CONTINUE

“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.”  Romans 16:17-18

Are moonbats so enamored with Barack Obama, a false prophet that they willingly accept deceptive rhetoric espoused by Progressives, in this case, Jarrett…in God’s House?

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”  Matthew 7:15

After services, the church then went on to hold a voter registration drive.  Where is the IRS when you need them?

Pursuant to the accusations of Newt Gingrich “scapegoating and race baiting”, I must beg to differ.  Progressives own “scapegoating and race baiting” hands down.

In October 2008, before Obama entered the White House, 30,841,790 people received food stamps.

In October 2010, 43,201,052 people collected food stamps and as of October that figure jumped to 46,224,722.

That is an increase of 15,382,932 people collecting food stamps under the Obama administration.  Hence, Obama owns the title, Food Stamp King lock, stock and barrel.

Moving on, the separation of church and state apparently does not apply to Progressives nor do the hypocrisy and profanity that surrounds them.

Even more disconcerting is the willingness of Black America to follow Obama back down the road to serfdom but I will reserve that dialogue for another post.

House Passes H.R. 4853 aka Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2010

Late last night, the House voted 277 to 148 in favor of passing H.R. 4853 extending Bush tax rates for two years, unemployment benefits for 13 months and cutting the social security payroll tax for two years.

Yeas votes:  Democrats, 139, Republicans, 138

No votes:  112 Democrats, 36 Republicans

Yesterday, the Senate approved the $858 billion tax plan, by a vote of 81 to 19.

While the legislation will guarantee unemployed workers up to 99 weeks of jobless benefits through the end of next year, said extension of benefits will go only to individuals who have been laid off more than 26 weeks but less than 99.  Those who have reached the 99-week limit for jobless benefits will receive no additional benefits.

FOX NEWS

“At the insistence of Republicans, the plan includes an estate tax that would allow the first $10 million of a couple’s estate to pass to heirs without taxation. The balance would be subject to a 35 percent tax rate.

Many House Democrats wanted a higher estate tax, one that would allow couples to pass only $7 million tax-free, taxing anything above that amount at a 45 percent rate. They argued that the higher estate tax would affect only 6,600 of the wealthiest estates in 2011 and would save $23 billion over two years.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called the estate tax the “most egregious provision” in the bill and held a vote that would have imposed the higher estate tax. It failed, 194-233.

Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said he thought the White House could have gotten a better deal….”

Whining a$$ Progressives despise Democracy and justice prevailing.

Democrats to stuff 20 bills into post-election lame-duck session

THE HILL

“Democrats are considering cramming as many as 20 pieces of legislation into the lame-duck session they plan to hold after the Nov. 2 election.

The array of bills competing for floor time shows the sense of urgency among Democratic lawmakers to act before the start of the 112th Congress, when Republicans are expected to control more seats in the Senate and House.

But, given the slow pace of the Senate, it also all but guarantees that Democrats will be hard-pressed to pass even a small part of their lame-duck agenda.

The highest-profile item for November and December is the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, passed under President George W. Bush, which expire at year’s end.

Democrats have promised they will not allow tax rates to rise for families making less than $250,000 a year.”

All this and still no time to work on a budget.  Actually, it is not that there is no time; Democrats have no interest in preparing a budget.

At the same time, progressives want to shove down our throats legislation that will increase spending and the tax burden on the American people.

We can be sure that nothing they do in this lame duck session will be beneficial to Americans.  These twenty plus pieces of legislation will serve only add fuel to the fire.  The endgame after spitting in the faces of the American people is higher unemployment and poverty rates, a gift from the Marxists in the White House.

Obama Accuse Republicans of Blocking Progress in Congress

Translation: Obama really wanted to bully billions if not trillions more out of BP for his own agenda but failed fearing that if he came off as too greedy and demanding, he would expose his hand.  So if Obama fails AGAIN, it is not because he is incompetent, experienced and incapable of feigning even the slightest bit of concern and humanity for those he swore to serve, it’s has to be the fault of GWB and Republicans.

More abhorrent than the overplayed lame excuses is the fact that Obama supporters really put their undying faith in their messiah, his mendacity and B.S. rhetoric.

Of course, Obama failed to mention that the $140 billion tax extender and unemployment bill would raise the budget deficit by $79 billion to $80 billion over a decade.

Instead, Obama tells his supporters:

NEWSMAX

” Obama said the stalled Senate bill would extend unemployment benefits to workers without jobs and a tax credit for first-time homebuyers. He also said the legislation would save thousands of jobs across the country.

Unfortunately, the Republican leadership in the Senate won’t even allow this legislation to come up for a vote,’ the president said in his weekly radio and Internet address. ‘And if this obstruction continues, unemployed Americans will see their benefits stop. Teachers and firefighters will lose their jobs. Families will pay more for their first home.

Republicans, Obama said, are hurting the country and the economy by refusing to let the legislation move forward. He said the bill meant to hasten the economy recovery and lift the $75 million oil spill limit deserved a vote.”

Obama also failed to mention that Sen. John Thune, R-S.D. introduced a  Republican version of the bill as an amendment last week that could influence the final legislation. .

WEBCPA

“Thune claimed his amendment is fully paid for, and would reduce the deficit by $55 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office. His amendment would extend the expiring unemployment provisions until November and extend $32 billion in expired tax provisions that lapsed at the end of 2009, including the tax credit for research and development and the state and local sales tax deduction through the end of the year.

The Thune amendment would drop many of the controversial tax increases, along with $24 billion in aid to states. However, it would also rescind $38 billion in ‘unobligated’ stimulus funds, collect the unpaid taxes of federal employees, freeze federal employees’ salaries and cap their numbers, impose a 5 percent across-the-board cut in government spending for all agencies except Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense, and create a new deficit-reduction trust fund in which rescinded balances and moneys saved through the amendment would be deposited for the purposes of paying down the federal debt.”

Happy Tax Year — Buckle Your Seatbelts

Happy New Year Everyone,

Are you ready to deal with the higher taxes that went into effect at midnight, New Year’s Day?  No, I am not referring to the tax increases pending courtesy of Obamacare.  I am referring to the Bush tax breaks for individuals and businesses that the Obama administration permitted to expire.

Although H.R. 4213 had already been approved by the House, the Senate in a rush to get on with their holidays failed to bring this bill to vote.  No doubt the move was cunning, spiteful and intentional and the timing awful.  By allowing the tax breaks to expire, Congress has enacted tax increases.

The following provisions expired at midnight:

HERITAGE FOUNDATION

• Deduction of state and local general sales taxes (section 164) (Personal Tax Incentives)
• Additional standard deduction, up to $500 for individuals and $1,000 for couples, for state and local property taxes (section 63) (Personal Tax Incentives)
• Research tax credit and alternative simplified credit (section 41) (General Business Tax Incentives)
• New markets tax credit (section 45D) (Community Assistance Provisions)
• Empowerment zone incentives (sections 1391 and 1202) (Community Assistance Provisions)
• Renewal community tax incentives (sections 1400E, 1400F, 1400I, and 1400J) (Community Assistance Provisions)
• District of Columbia Investment Incentives (sections 1400, 1400A, 1400B, and 1400C) (Community Assistance Provisions)
• Net disaster loss designation and $500 limit per casualty for personal casualty losses attributed to federally declared natural disasters (section 165) (General Disaster Relief Provisions)
• Expensing for qualified disaster expenses (section 198A) (General Disaster Relief Provisions)
• Biodiesel and renewable diesel incentives (section 40A) (Energy Incentives)
• Alternative motor vehicle credit for heavy hybrids (section 30B) (Energy Incentives)

Although the House has acted and passed its version of the Tax Extenders Act of 2009, the Senate failed to act on similar legislation, as a result the following additional key tax provisions will expire:

• Increased exemption levels for the individual alternative minimum tax (section 55) and personal tax credits allowed against the AMT (section 26)
• Exclusion of unemployment compensation benefits from gross income (section 85)
• Alternative fuel mixture tax credit (section 6426(e))
• Reduced estimated tax payments for small businesses (section 6654(d)(1)(D)).

By allowing these tax provisions to expire, taxes will rise on many individuals and businesses, and for some of these groups, a punitively steep tax hike.”
I did say happy New Year, didn’t I?

Obama’s ‘Making YOU Pay’ tax Credit Scam

Tags

IRS, obama, Tax Credit, Tax Cuts, Tax Hikes, Tax Increases, Taxes, Timothy Geithner

Remember that additional $7 to 13 dollars Americans started receiving in their checks last spring as payment for voting for Barack Obama.  Instead of Obama calling it a stimulus check or payment, he should have called it bait because while taxpayers were receiving the additional pittance in their paychecks, Obama had Timothy Turbo Tax Geithner re-writing the tax code.

Hence, the time has come to pay the piper.  It is called “Making Work Pay.”  Remember, it is not a tax hike, but a tax credit.  Balderdash!

As a result of Obama’s stimulus payment to working Americans, rather baiting working Americans, approximately 15 million Americans will find that they underpaid the Internal Revenue Service and will be forced to pay back all or part of the tax credit. 

WASHINGTON EXAMINER

“Thanks to the government’s mistake, some of these folks — especially anyone who suddenly loses a jobs near the end of this year — will find themselves without the cash to pay an unexpectedly high tax bill next spring. It will affect many working married couples and also people who have more than one job.

If you want to protect yourself from this, you can always use this IRS withholding tax calculator. It’s simple — just five pages of complicated forms to fill in.

I sure hope Tim Geithner hired someone good to do his taxes this year.

UPDATE: The truly incredible thing is that AP saw this coming as early as May and the government did it anyway.”

Some call it an error, I beg to differ.  It was intentional.

Obama Calls for Simpler Tax Code

“I want every American to know that we will rewrite the tax code so that it puts your interests over any special interests,” Mr. Obama said. “And we’ll make it easier, quicker and less expensive for you to file a return, so that April 15th is not a date that is approached with dread every year….

Under the ‘Simple Return’ plan, the Internal Revenue Service would complete tax returns for taxpayers whose sole income comes from one employer and whose interest income comes from one bank. The IRS would then send a copy of the return to the taxpayer. If the first wave of the program worked well, it could be expanded to other taxpayers.

Mr. Goolsbee has estimated the plan would save as many as 225 million hours of tax-preparation time and more than $2 billion a year in tax-preparation fees. White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the White House is ‘studying the implementation’ of the campaign proposal.”

Mission accomplished, the time has come to pay the piper. 

Are you starting to feel like you have been played yet?  Well, you’re not alone, senior citizens who received atimulus checks last spring share the same fate.

Everything Obama does is about government control, government intervention, government regulation, invasion of privacy, huge money grabs and higher taxes.
