Strap On A Bomb To Get A Lawyer

Snopes: Who Knew??

For the past few years www.snopes.com has positioned itself, or others have
labeled it, as the ‘tell-all final word’ on any comment, claim and email.

But for several years people tried to find out who exactly was behind
snopes.com.  Only recently did Wikipedia get to the bottom of it – kinda makes
you wonder what they were hiding.  Well, finally we know.  It is run by a
husband and wife team – that’s right, no big office of investigators and
researchers, no team of lawyers.  It’s just a mom-and-pop operation that began
as a hobby.

David and Barbara Mikkelson in the San Fernando Valley of California started the
website about 13 years ago – and they have no formal background or experience in
investigative research.  After a few years it gained popularity believing it to
be unbiased and neutral, but over the past couple of years people started asking
questions who was behind it and did they have a selfish motivation?  The reason
for the questions – or skepticisms – is a result of snopes.com claiming to have
the bottom line facts to certain questions or issue when in fact they have been
proven wrong.  Also, there were criticisms the Mikkelsons were not really
investigating and getting to the ‘true’ bottom of various issues.
A few months ago, when my State Farm agent Bud Gregg in Mandeville hoisted a
political sign referencing Barack Obama and made a big splash across the
internet, ’supposedly’ the Mikkelson’s claim to have researched this issue
before posting their findings on snopes.com.  In their statement they claimed
the corporate office of State Farm pressured Gregg into taking down the sign,
when in fact nothing of the sort ‘ever’ took place.

I personally contacted David Mikkelson (and he replied back to me) thinking he
would want to get to the bottom of this and I gave him Bud Gregg’s contact phone
numbers – and Bud was going to give him phone numbers to the big exec’s at State
Farm in Illinois who would have been willing to speak with him about it.  He
never called Bud.  In fact, I learned from Bud Gregg no one from snopes.com ever
contacted anyone with State Farm.  Yet, snopes.com issued a statement as the
‘final factual word’ on the issue as if they did all their homework and got to
the bottom of things – not!

Then it has been learned the Mikkelson’s are very Democratic (party) and
extremely liberal.  As we all now know from this presidential election, liberals
have a purpose agenda to discredit anything that appears to be conservative. 
There has been much criticism lately over the internet with people pointing out
the Mikkelson’s liberalism revealing itself in their website findings.  Gee,
what a shock?

So, I say this now to everyone who goes to www.snopes.com to get what they think
to be the bottom line facts..’proceed with caution.’ Take what it says at face
value and nothing more.  Use it only to lead you to their references where you
can link to and read the sources for yourself.  Plus, you can always google a
subject and do the research yourself.  It now seems apparent that’s all the
Mikkelson’s do.  After all, I can personally vouch from my own experience for
their ‘not’ fully looking into things.

What is REALLY interesting is when you click on the link for the ordinance in King, Sec. 10-36 (http://library1.municode.com/default-test/home.htm?infobase=13143&doc_action=whatsnew) it takes you to a portal from which you can see Municipal Codes all across the country.  And if you just happen to look at the towns and cities in North Carolina (http://www.municode.com/Library/Library.aspx) that are listed you will see that most, if not all, of them have the same kind of ordinances on the books!

 

I think I hear the Bugler’s call!

Marvel Comics: Captain America Says Tea Parties Are Dangerous and Racist

Posted by Warner Todd Huston On February – 8 – 2010

Marvel Comic’s Captain America is the mightiest soldier with the super powerful secret soldier formula that makes him a super man. Sadly, this muscle bound hero that took on the whole Nazi army during WWII seems to be afraid of those American people who’ve joined the Tea Party movement. Not only is Cappy quaking in his little red booties, but he’s sure that the Tea Party folks are dangerous racists, too.

Isn’t it wonderful that a decades old American comic book hero is now being used to turn readers against our very political system, being used to slander folks that are standing up for real American principles in real life — and one called “Captain America” at that?

In issue number 602 of Captain America, a new story line has begun called “Two Americas.” In it the current Captain (there have been a few of them, apparently) is on the trail of a faux Captain America that is mentally deranged and getting chummy with some white supremacist, anti-government, survivalists types going by the name of “the Watchdogs.” While investigating this subversive group, Captain America and his partner The Falcon — a black super hero — have decided to try and infiltrate the secretive organization.

In preparation for the infiltration, Marvel Comics depicts the two super heroes out of costume and observing from a rooftop a street filled with what can only be described as a Tea Party protest. The scene shows crowds of people in city streets carrying signs that say, “stop the socialists,” “tea bag libs before they tea bag you,” and “no to new taxes.” Naturally, the people in these crowds are depicted as being filled with nothing but white folks.

The black character asks the out of costume Captain, “What the hell is this?” And follows that with, “looks like some kind of anti-tax protest.” The Falcon character then snidely tells his partner the Captain, “So I guess this whole ‘hate the government’ vibe around here isn’t limited to the Watchdogs.”

The two then discuss their plan to infiltrate the subversive group that Marvel comics seems to be linking to the Tea Party movement. This discussion culminates in The Falcon wondering how a black man would do such a thing. “I don’t exactly see a black man from Harlem fitting in with a bunch of angry white folks,” he tells the incognito Captain America.

The Captain tells him, “no it’s perfect… this all fits right into my plan.” After this we find that the Captain’s plan is to send the black man into a redneck bar to pretend to be a black man working for the IRS and to get everyone all mad… because… well, you know that every white person is a racist that hates black civil servants, right?

So, there you have it, America. Tea Party protesters just “hate the government,” they are racists, they are all white folks, they are angry, and they associate with secretive white supremacist groups that want to over throw the U.S. government.

Bet you didn’t know that when you were indulging your right as a citizen to protest your government that you were a dangerous white supremacist that wants to destroy the country, did you? Bet you didn’t realize that your reverence for the U.S. Constitution was a subversive thing to do, did you? And I’ll also bet that you never imagined that you’d scare the little blue panties off of Captain America!

Nice going Marvel Comics. Thanks for making patriotic Americans into your newest super villains.

Who Profits from the Death Tax? Estate Planning Lawyers

If you ask attorney Harold Apolinsky who really profits from the death tax, he’ll tell you, “I think I do, as an estate planning lawyer,” but then he will tell you why the tax needs to be permanently repealed.

According to Apolinsky, the death tax (or estate tax, as it is also known) taxes the transfer of a business from the deceased to their heirs upon death at an extraordinarily high rate. The tax first came into law in 1917 in order to pay for World War I, was abolished this year, but is set to come back in 2011 at a 55% rate and $ 1 million exemption.

Apolinsky, who helps families plan for the death tax, says it truly can be deadly for small companies. He observes that most successful businesses don’t have “buckets of cash” laying around to pay the tax, and they face the impossible choice of setting money aside, expanding their business, hiring new employers, or paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to insurance companies to fund a life insurance policy that covers their death tax obligation.

That just doesn’t make sense, Apolinsky says, in a country built on capitalism and free enterprise. “If you’re going to take away half the value of a business every generation, how can it grow?” he asks, while also noting that Sweden and Australia have repealed death taxes because they want family businesses to grow larger and provide more jobs.

Semper Fi John, your fellow Marines are waiting for you,. You got some splainin to do.   He also called our troops “Cold Blooded Killers”

Factual Update on Healthcare Bill

The President and Democratic leaders reiterated their determination to move forward on health care reform while continuing to strategize on ways to do so, since the political landscape changed with the election of Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts.

In an interview with CBS News anchor Katie Couric on Sunday, President Obama attempted to jump-start the stalled health care debate, inviting Republicans in Congress to a half-day summit on the subject to be televised live later this month. These comments follow closely remarks he made to members of the Democratic National Committee on Thursday where he charted an alternate path for health care reform stating, “What I’d like to do is have a meeting whereby I’m sitting with the Republicans, sitting with the Democrats, sitting with health care experts, and let’s just go through these bills — their ideas, our ideas — let’s walk through them in a methodical way so that the American people can see and compare what makes the most sense.” At the Democratic National Committee’s Winter Meeting in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, the President sought to reassure his party that he was still committed to health care reform, stating, “Let me be clear: I am not going to walk away from health care insurance reform.”

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) met Tuesday to discuss health care reform legislation; however, they reached no decisions on the path forward. After the meeting, Reid told reporters, “We are going to proceed. We just don’t know at this time how we are going to proceed.” Later on Tuesday, in a call with the media, Pelosi reiterated her determination to keep pushing to pass comprehensive health care reform. In addition to other Democratic initiatives such as jobs creation, Pelosi referred to health care reform as “first among equals.”

On Monday, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius highlighted items in President Obama’s 2011 budget that will “protect the health and safety of America’s families.” The budget includes a variety of measures aimed at improving health care including: reducing fraud in Medicare and Medicaid, extending State funding for Medicaid, improving quality of and access to health care, promoting public health, and investing in scientific research and development.

What to look for this week:

The House of Representatives will vote on repealing the antitrust exemption for health insurance companies – this provision was included in the House-passed health care reform bill but not in the Senate’s version. It remains uncertain whether Democratic leaders will have an agreed upon strategy on how to proceed with comprehensive health care reform before Congress leaves town for a one-week break at the end of this week.
