On this just passed Easter holiday, I was confronted by an obstinate, yet well-meaning friend that asked me where all the money would come from to run the U.S.A. if we abolished the Federal Income Tax. I looked at her and told her: “From the billions of dollars in taxes that come from Corporations, but first we have to get rid of the Federal Reserve.” But, of course, I left out the part about the hundred or more taxes that are collected across the United States every single minute of every hour on products ranging from cigarettes to the cell phone you use. We are easily the most taxed citizens in the history of the United States, and yet we are told we are in constant and growing debt. How can this be when we are also the hardest working people in the world?
When Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lies to an audience at Columbia University and states that “there are no homosexuals in Iran” it isn’t the lie that matters, it is the persistence with which he tells such lies. When Mahmoud Ahmadinejad refuses to answer “yes” or “no” to a simple question — “Did the holocaust happen?” — it is the opportunity for him to call out for “justice” for the “Palestinian people”, all in the hopes of making more people forget that the Jews have a right to own their own nation, and in hopes of making people believe that there ever was a nation called Palestine (which there was not).
Despite rumors and press postings to the contrary, Iranian President Ahmadinejad is indeed going to appear behind the podium at Columbia University in New York City today. Ahmadinejad will deliver a prepared speech at 1:30 EST and then take part in a question and answer session with the Columbia students.
The sad thing in all of this is that just as many of the students at Columbia that claim they understand that Ahmadinejad is a hate-monger would also say the very same thing about someone like me. Think about that while you’re perhaps watching the live televised coverage of Ahmadinejad or the YouTube copies that will no doubt be posted later today.

It’s Sunday already? I’m taking a breather today, but I wanted to open up discussions again as usual.
I also want to bring to your attention some protest information for any of you that might be in the NYC area on Monday. President Ahmadinejad of Iran is in New York, as most of you know, and he’s set to be a “Guest of Honor” at Columbia University. This in itself is a travesty and many people are quite upset about it, especially American Jews who aren’t too happy about a man that denies the Holocaust and threatens destruction of Israel on a fairly regular basis.
While President Ahmanutjob of Iran gets U.S. Secret Service protection in NYC today and visits Ground Zero (despite NYC official protests) and speaks at Columbia University by invitation (there go our Leftofascist, dhimmi professors again), word slides down the hill that President George W. Bush doesn’t have the will to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities without apparently grandiose provocation. This country needs an enema.
From the Drudge Report comes a report that reads much like fantasy to me, but there might be some modicum of truth inside. You decide:
