Moms Demand Action Urges CO Dems to Oppose Repeal of Gun Control

Moms Demand Action Urges CO Dems to Oppose Repeal of Gun Control With seven pro-Second Amendment bills before the Colorado state legislature on February 22—including some that would repeal certain gun laws instituted in 2013—Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America urged Democrats to dig in and oppose the repeal of gun control.

The gun control proponents did not mention… View Article

Obama Tax Plan: President Goes All In on Confiscation President Obama released his blueprint for the federal budget Monday. Unsurprisingly, it is expected to boost federal spending far higher than recent years. His tenure has already witnessed a greater accumulation of federal debt than any other time in US history. It is unsustainable based on the nation’s taxing traditions. In recent days, however, Obama has hinted at a new paradigm in federal revenue collection: confiscation. Last week, the White House floated a proposal to levy a one-time tax on the $2 trillion in foreign earnings American corporations have overseas. The… View Article

Obama blasted for ‘parallel’ government Setup called ‘outside the limits set by Congress,’ ‘encourages illegal immigration’ Federal bureaucrats handed out more than 5.5 million new work permits to aliens in the U.S. from 2009 to 2014 beyond the number of new green card and temporary worker admissions, according to a new report that accuses the Obama White House of setting up a shadow government program. “This is a huge parallel immigrant work authorization system outside the limits set by Congress that inevitably impacts opportunities for U.S. workers, damages the integrity of the immigration system, and encourages illegal immigration,” said the… View Article

Obama Budget Creates Second Death Tax

Obama Budget Creates Second Death Tax The Obama budget calls for a stealth increase in the death tax rate from 40% to nearly 60%. Here’s how it works: Under current law, when you inherit an asset your basis in the asset is the higher of the fair market value at the time of death or the decedent’s original basis. Almost always, the fair market value is higher. Under the Obama proposal, when you inherit an asset your basis will simply be the decedent’s original basis. Example: Dad buys a house for $10,000. He dies and leaves it to you. The… View Article

Checkpoints, Warrantless Searches and Security Theater

Checkpoints, Warrantless Searches and Security Theater Less than three years after the 9/11 attacks struck American commercial aviation carriers, Al Qaeda-inspired terrorists targeted a different kind of transportation system— Madrid’s commuter rail network. Just over a year after that attack, terrorists struck the London bus and subway system. Fearing U.S. transit systems would be next, DHS officials responded by creating Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) teams, composed of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Federal Air Marshall (FAM) personnel, augmented by state or local law enforcement organizations. Touted as a means of deterring and preventing terrorism, the VIPR program has… View Article

Is Pedophilia Okay if You’re “Born That Way”?

Is Pedophilia Okay if You’re “Born That Way”? “Now, many experts view it as a sexual orientation as immutable as heterosexuality … a deep-rooted predisposition … that becomes clear during puberty and does not change.” The above idea was expressed with respect to homosexuality decades ago and since has become left-wing dogma. The thinking is that if someone was “born that way,” if the behavior is “natural” for him and he didn’t choose his feelings, how could it be wrong? Yet the opening quoted line wasn’t penned decades ago — it’s only two years old. And homosexuality wasn’t the focus…. View Article
