“Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured… but not everyone must prove they are a citizen.”
Now add this, “Many of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens.”
-Ben Stein
Trust me, ladies and gentlemen, there are people who are completely unable to understand the above quote whatsoever.

From CNN:
(CNN)– Sen. Harry Reid said nothing of his earlier claims that Mitt Romney had not paid taxes over a ten-year span in a Friday statement joining Democrats in responding to Romney’s release of tax-related documents on Friday.
The Nevada Democrat and Senate majority leader called Romney’s accounting “galling” and said the documentation “reveals that Mitt Romney manipulated one of the only two years of tax returns he’s seen fit to show the American people – and then only to ‘conform’ with his public statements.”
Though Romney:
- In 2011, the Romneys paid $1,935,708 in taxes on $13,696,951 in mostly investment income.
- The Romneys’ effective tax rate for 2011 was 14.1%.
- The Romneys donated $4,020,772 to charity in 2011, amounting to nearly 30% of their income.
- The Romneys claimed a deduction for $2.25 million of those charitable contributions.
- The Romneys’ generous charitable donations in 2011 would have significantly reduced their tax obligation for the year. The Romneys thus limited their deduction of charitable contributions to conform to the Governor’s statement in August, based upon the January estimate of income, that he paid at least 13% in income taxes in each of the last 10 years.
So according to Reid and the Demorats, Leftists, Religion Left and DEM/MSM, Romney is a tax cheat and a manipulator because he didn’t release enough documents or because he gave them what they wanted. Romeny can’t win either way.
Say, this wouldn’t be any kind of a purposeful election-time ploy, would it — ?

P.S.
Harry Reid, where are your tax records? What’s been your source of millionaire’s income?

From YahooNews.com:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal authorities have identified a Coptic Christian in southern California who is on probation after his conviction for financial crimes as the key figure behind the anti-Muslim film that ignited mob violence against U.S. embassies across the Mideast, a U.S. law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Thursday.
The official said authorities had concluded that Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, was behind “Innocence of Muslims,” a film that denigrated Islam and the prophet Muhammad and sparked protests earlier this week in Egypt, Libya and most recently in Yemen. It was not immediately clear whether Nakoula was the target of a criminal investigation or part of the broader investigation into the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Libya during a terrorist attack.
Here is what I found for a related video:
There is, of course, a very large HOWEVER:
This “however” includes the fact that the “video” — and here’s a novel suggestion — is nothing more than a convenient excuse for the kickoff of ubiquitous global violence instigated on 9/11 against Western institutions, buildings and locations.
If there were a series of violent revolutions in Detroit resulting from Michael Moore’s “Roger and Me,” would there be a subsequent excoriation of both Mr Moore and his film?
I might submit: not.
The “video” is a ruse.
Islam is, once again, at work against those GOWPs — Guilty Overeducated White People — who are sufficiently naive, guilty, glittered, ignorant, and representative of the bulk of Western Culture.
One small piece of positivism: Google refuses to pull the “suspect clip” against White House demands.
And here is the actual truth of these “riots.”

Apparently CBS stands for “Carrying Barack’s Shit” — ?
From TheRightScoop.com:
Before Romney issued his statement today, an open mic capture the press coordinating questions to ask Romney, with one saying “no matter who he calls on we’re covered on the one question”. I’ve transcribed it to the best of my ability but the audio is below for verification:
I’ve labeled one as the CBS News reporter as I believe it is Nancy Cordes who works for CBS News. If I’ve gotten that wrong I apologize and will correct.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: …pointing out that the Republicans… *unintelligible* …Obama….
CBS REPORTER: That’s the question.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: *unintelligible*
CBS REPORTER: Yeah that’s the question. I would just say do you regret your question.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Your question? Your statement?
CBS REPORTER: I mean your statement. Not even the tone, because then he can go off on…
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: And then if he does, if we can just follow up and say ‘but this morning your answer is continuing to sound…’ – *becomes unintelligble*
CBS REPORTER: You can’t say that..
**Later**
CBS REPORTER: I’m just trying to make sure that we’re just talking about, no matter who he calls on we’re covered on the one question.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Do you stand by your statement or regret your statement?
UPDATE: Newsbusters says the the CBS News reporter is Jan Crawford and she was discussing this with the NPR reporter Ari Shapiro
The DEM/MSM is willing to do anything, to say anything, to conduct anything, to portray anything, to coordinate anything, in order to support Barack Hussein Obama.
This is nothing more than a coordinated attack on Mitt Romney. This would never occur for questions directed at Barack Hussein Obama.
The media bias and abomination continues.
Which is why I say that you must continue to seek out UK media; it’s where you’ll find more truth than you will in the USA:
UK Daily Mail
UK Telegraph
BBC News UK
The UK Guardian
UK Independent
The UK Sun is fun;
It’s sad to say, but you simply cannot trust the Mainstream Media in the United States, because their bias is so incredibly clear and so incredibly naked.
Finally: it is because of this, however, that I believe Mr Obama will not acquire a second term.
