Wow or Trent Lott bashes Talk Radio

I am so confused by the Republicans today and this kind of stuff isn't helping.

Comments by Republican senators on Thursday suggested that they were feeling the heat from conservative critics of the bill, who object to provisions offering legal status. The Republican whip, Trent Lott of Mississippi, who supports the bill, said: “Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.”

A very sad day.

Liberals - The Party of Disdain or Hate the Right

Proof Positive that the liberals in positions of power are corrupt have a deep disdain for the right. I guess if Angelina Jolie can try muting free speech by banning Fox News and making journalist sign contracts for interviews, liberals everywhere see justification in coming out of the closet and showing their true colors.

From the article:

Radio station WIOD likely will remain Broward County's official channel for emergency information despite concerns it is also home to conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

County commissioners said they were deluged with complaints from throughout the country Wednesday after they questioned whether to cut their ties with the station because of their dislike for Limbaugh. By the end of the day, a majority of commissioners vowed to renew WIOD's agreement next week.

This is a group of county commissioners that wanted to end an "emergency brodcast" contract with a radio station because the radio station airs Rush Limbaugh.

A Surcharge on People

Democrats seek a surcharge on people who are too successful. From the article linked below

a 4 percent surcharge on income over $200,000 for families and $100,000 for singles

"Our plan is as simple as can be. And only 2 percent of the whole population would have to pay it," said Leonard E. Burman, director of the Tax Policy Center. The plan has the added benefit of abolishing the complicated AMT at all income levels, Burman said, an approach some lawmakers find attractive.

Again, a surcharge on people who have been successful. I question the "only 2 percent" statement. I'd like to think that more than two percent make over 100K. This is purely a redistribution of wealth and an effort to further advance class envy.

You want to eliminate the AMT? Then stop spending so much money!!!
