Islam Cannot Survive in a Secular Society




If Islam cannot survive in secular society, then what is Islam doing in a secular society? Why live in a society in which it cannot survive?

Tax Double Standard Reasoning



Her reasoning why tax-cut for the rich is good and why tax-cut for the middle-class isn't good.

BACHMANN:[W]e’re pleased to see that we’re looking at a two percent reduction in the payroll tax, what we normally call the Social Security tax for employees. … What this will mean is a decrease in revenue for the Social Security Trust Fund. That will, again, add to the deficit going forward. So both of these measures that President Obama is proposing will actually have a cost towards increasing the deficit.

KELLY: Is it worth it to you though, to give the president the things that he’s asked for, like the extension of unemployment benefits, in order to preserve tax cuts for all Americans? [...]

BACHMANN: It’s curious to me that they say there’s a cost involved when people are allowed to keep their own money. And they’re talking about Americans being able to keep $700 billion of their own money. The cost is to the Treasury, but really it’s a cost out of the American peopeles’ pockets. So that’s a definition of terms.

The real cost will be in the outlay of unemployment benefits and in the reduction to the treasury in the Social Security taxes.

An Interviewer Interviews With Palin's Supporters



These are Americans. These are my people from my country. These are my neighbors. These are the faces of America. And most of these adults are parents, yes, they have children. These adults are primary providers of education for their children. And we all know that parents are the most important part in the equation of successive education. So, is it any wonder we, as a nation, lag so-very-behind in the world?

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life Sing-Along




Perhaps, this is the way the GOP will tell those who are suffering in our current economic crisis that the key isn't to wonder why the rich needs more tax-cut but instead the key is to always look on the bright side of life. Remember, whether a house is lost, whether there is no money to pay bills, whether there is no health-insurance because it isn't affordable, whether a job merely pay the minimum wage without any benefits, whether Wall-Street receives some 144 billion dollars in bonus, whether banks make millions from others misery, whether life is absolutely shitty just remember always look on the bright side of life.
