Protesters Call Agenda Change “Taxation without Representation” and Demand to Be Heard

(West Palm Beach, Florida) – “End Charlie’s Bailout,” a coalition of a fiscally conservative activist are not thwarted by a last minute agenda change at the South Florida Water Management District Budget Workshop on July 14th, at 12:00 PM meant to prevent as many activists from attending the workshop. The agenda was set weeks in advance to have doors open at 12:00 PM, and after hundreds of calls and emails have been sent to the district from activists against the U.S. Sugar Corp. bailout, the updated agenda has the doors closed for the first hour.

“End Charlie’s Bailout” is busing activists from Martin, Broward, Miami-Dade, Lee, and Collier counties to attend a protest of Governor Crist’s bailout of the U.S. Sugar Corporation. The buses will be onsite at 11:30 AM and a press conference will be held at that time at the protest site with coalition members against the bailout.  Protesters will demand an end to the bailout and demand a cut in property taxes.

“This is just a ploy to get us to back down. We will not back down.  We will not be silent. We will be there at the time the agenda starts – 12:00 PM – and demand to be heard.” Robin Stublen, Punta Gorda Tea Party

“We were told in advance doors would open at the budget workshop at 12:00 PM. Once they heard concerned citizens would be attending and voicing their opinions about another bailout put on the backs of taxpayers, they decided to close us out. This is Chicago and Washington politics as usual and this unelected body is promoting taxation without representation. Florida officials should be held to a higher standard.” Jason Hoyt, Tea Party Patriots Live.

    Misspelled Protest Signs, Back by Popular Demand…

    There are so many “morans” parading around with misspelled signs these days, it’s hard to keep track of them all. Luckily, we have compiled some of the funniest displays of public idiocy into a handy collection, because laughing at grammatically cha…

War On Women Can Be Fought At The Polls

By Kim Carroll

Women have the power. They take their right to vote seriously and show up at the polls in greater numbers than men according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.

In 2008, 60.4 percent of eligible female voters cast their vote versus 55.7% of eligible males. According to the same study, more women are registered to vote than men, 66.6 million versus 63.5 million. Maybe that’s why the “War on Women” has taken a front seat in this election…

This post kicks off a three-part series about the crisis of spending, debt and deficits.

The next part deals with the interval between now and the inevitable arrival of the Minsky Moment, i.e. the unknown and unknowable time when an unsustainable economic phenomenon suddenly collapses.

The third post will address Gotterdammerung, or what happens after the Minsky Moment.

Is Mack Campaign Getting Desperate?

By Tom Tillison

It’s a fair guess that Connie Mack has seen some recent polling that has gotten his attention.

As the week closed out, the rhetoric coming from the Mack campaign took on a rather fervent pitch. In a press release sent out Thursday, it made the claim that opponent George LeMieux has “endorsed raising Florida’s sales tax to a nation-leading 16 percent.”

Obama’s IPAB Death Panels Limit More Than Just Health Care Access

By L. Persona

Florida Democrats believe they can win a few Republican seats in Congress and are preparing a major offensive against several Republicans facing tough challenges this year. They believe that redistricting gives them a chance to offset the seats they are sure to give up.

However, the Democrats still fail to realize the albatross that ObamaCare places on their party’s efforts…

A Black Guy At The Dallas, TX Tea Party Rally

By Lloyd Marcus

A big well dressed black guy attended the Dallas, TX tea party rally with his white buddy. Both men missed my singing performance on stage minutes earlier.

I asked the black gentleman who had an impressive physique how often he worked out. He replied, “Everyday.” His white buddy said with a chuckle, “He thinks the Tea Party is racist.”
