Newts main man Grover Norquist says Ending Birthright Citizenship is a Tax

Mr. Amnesty, Grover Norquist, the guy who Newt Gingrich regards as the "most innovative, creative, courageous and entrepreneurial leader and who has truly made a difference and truly changed American history” is at his illegal alien pandering again!

This week from National Journal:

Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist, who is most famous at the moment for waging a political war on government spending, said on Monday that ending automatic citizenship for babies born on U.S. soil would be a tax on having babies.(Illegal alien ANCHOR BABIES!)

“This is a tax on every child being born,” he said during a telephone conference call hosted by the public-policy group National Foundation for American Policy. “It solves no problems and instead creates all sorts of problems and costs in terms of Americans.”

One of these days, 'conservatives' will figure out that the illegal alien/Muslim loving Norquist and his Americans for Tax Reform is just a cover to fool them into following him down the amnesty/open border path!

A reader of this article on the Stein Report says it best:
"And we should add a "Dumb" tax for liberals and Grover Norquist."

Good Grief… Now Team Obama Wants to Blow Up 3 Dams In the Name of Junk Science

We are posting this article from Gateway Pundit in it's entirety. THIS is important, and not just because I can see one of these dams from my deck. What will you do when they come after YOUR property!?? Why do they want to destroy the cleanest, cheapest fuel available??? We are already being billed monthly for this dam removal and it hasn't happened...yet! Please help us stop it.

Good Grief…
Now Team Obama Wants to Blow Up 3 Dams In the Name of Junk Science

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any weirder…
The Obama Administration now wants to demolish three dams in northern California to supposedly save the salmon… But the whole reason to support the move was based on shoddy and inconclusive scientific data.

Dam fish

Greenheads say the dams threaten salmon. They want the dams gone and Obama agrees.

Now a scientist is challenging the junk science behind the decision.
The City Square reported:

Against intense local opposition, the Obama administration wants to demolish three dams on the Klamath River in Siskiyou County, California. Low-cost clean hydroelectricity as well as water for irrigation would be lost if the dams were removed. Removal of the dams would also cause chaos for ranchers, homeowners, and small business who live and work in the downstream of the dams. Despite this, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has been trying to force dam removal for the supposed benefit of some salmon and steelhead spawning habitat.

Now, Prof. Paul R. Houser of George Mason University alleges that the administration’s plan is all based on junk science. In his role as science advisor to the Bureau of Reclamation, he was closely involved in the project. He has filed a formal complaint (PDF) alleging “intentional falsification” and “intentional . . . compromise of scientific and scholarly integrity.”

A dam in So. Oregon was recently removed...and NOW they can't deal with the sludge from it!

And HERE is a great, informed response by one of our county officials.

Now you 'Conservatives' are scaring me! NEWT???? UGHHHHH

Someone asked me who I'm going to vote for, Santorum or Paul. Newt never had a consideration for those of us with a MEMORY. Mitt gets more confusing as he goes along.

I think Santorum and Newt will ally before it's over.

Probably Paul...he puts things down to their basics.

Like in the CNN debate last night.

RON PAUL ...."we don't have a well-managed border. So I think we need more resources and I think most of the other candidates would agree we need more resources. But where are the resources going to come from?

I have a suggestion. I think we spend way too much time worrying about the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Use some of those resources on our own border."

(APPLAUSE)

Michelle Bachman told the truth about the AMNESTY letter Newt signed, but what good did it do? The Chumps for Gingrich just slaughtered the messenger and for telling the truth, she's out!

The last thing 90% of this country wants is the truth, and that includes all the Faux conservatives running around internet forums. You ALL should know better than to give Newt Gingrich the time of day!

But they will defend a lie over the truth EVERY TIME! Talk about useful idiots. Like Mark Twain said, "They think they think!"

When people get out of their emotional prisons, we'll start getting decent candidates. Don't they understand that con men like Newt and his promoters like Grover Norquist and YES, SARAH PALIN, have always COUNTED on knee jerk emotionalism instead of examining the record!

Last time around the same hard headed republicans wanted Fred Thompson, who was just a place holder to knock out the real conservative competition, just like Palin was this time! He waited to get in until he was needed to prop up McCain and she just stalled, and made you all sit there waiting.......for Newt Gingrich???? GIVE me a break!

Hell! We should ALL be able to remember what an ASS, (YEAH, I said it!)Gingrich was!

But the denial is SO strong it even wipes out their own memories! They are still dishonest enough to tell ya that Newt's increased immigration stance, NaFTA, GATT, "mostfavorednation" & loans to CHINA were all GOOD THINGS!

Un-FREAKING-believable! Newt stands there and calls us all 'inhumane' for not wanting a few million OLD illegal aliens in the country... while YOU are supporting them as we explained in this rant!

I have a kid like that. Reality is just such a nuisance in her life! Well, guess what, this kind of voting...which the Obamaites excel at.......has gotten us a mess we will likely NEVER get out of. Not with trying to elect the Newts and their puppet masters like Norquist of this world!

FOR GOD'S SAKE! NEWT was in congress and headed the way to get us into most of the mess we face.

WAKE UP!

Gingrich lied! This time about Reagan!

Yesterday on his radio program, Mark Levin, who actually worked in the Reagan White House, reminded us that Gingrich did not, even though he is trying to take credit for being a planner of Reagan's 'supply side economics'. Newt didn't get elected to the house of representatives for several years after! Geeze...next he'll be telling us he invented the internet! This is not the first of Newts lies, and won't be the last. If you brain numbed republicans nominate Newt, OBAMA WILL BE RELECTED!

... "Mark Levin states that supply side economics predates Gingrich and was not
invented by Gingrich".....

Hot Air had the story on Jan 4th.
.

.. But Gingrich recently told Sean Hannity​, “I helped Ronald Reagan and Jack Kemp​ develop supply-side economics …”

In Ronald Reagan’s autobiography, “An American Life​,” he writes extensively about supply-side economics. He cites Jack Kemp several times. He never mentions Newt Gingrich.

(However, in Reagan’s massive 784-page diary, Newt’s name does come up — once. On Jan. 3, 1983, Reagan wrote that he met with “a group of young Repub Congressmen,” and says that one of them, “Newt Gingrich,” proposed freezing federal spending at 1983 levels, which Reagan rejected out of hand because it would “cripple our defense program.”)

http://hotair.com/archives/2012/01/04/on-to-new-hampshire/
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=48291

Arthur Laffer did work with Reagan to develop the policy of Supply Side Economics and oddly supports Gingrich...maybe he should listen to what Liar Newt actually says.....
No where does Laffer mention that Newt was anywhere near the plan, that any of us can find.

Who Knew??? Character doesn't matter to Conservatives after all! CFG's -Chumps for Gingrich

Since 1991, we've heard nothing but the cries and moans of the 'values voters' that "CHARACTER MATTERS"....until it comes to one of their own, evidently. The cult like, emotional reasoning of the GOP is astonishing. Rush is making himself into a total hypocritical ASS this morning trying to excuse good ol' Newt. Hannity will take the PM shift! They're willing to ignore the sexual sins of Newt Gingrich, nearly identical to those of Clinton, and use the left tactics of destroying the messenger.

So, now we know that Newt wanted his wife and his mistress at the same time. But that's not the worst of it. These phony conservatives are also willing to just IGNORE the ample, liberal leaning, DANGEROUS history of Newt Gingrich. JUST WOW!

For all you CFGs* out there , let me count the ways........(will be added to daily- this is just a taste of Newt!)

Newt IS all about AMNESTY!

Newt supported the Left's view of Global Warming & pushed legislation to do so!

Newt does not have the upbringing and emotional stability to be president.

Newt never had a job that wasn't paid for by the taxpayer. He is a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER!

Newt has been a member of the Council on Foreign Relations since 1990. This alone should disqualify him from consideration of any 'Conservative'

Newt has no problem cozying up to and pushing policy for the worst of the Left, like Al Sharpton.

Newt cosponsored the 1987 Fairness Doctrine (anti 1st Amendment legislation)

In 1996, Newt Gingrich turned his back on guns and voted for the anti-2nd amendment Brady Campaign’s Lautenberg Gun Ban

Newt supported spending $30B for the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Actof 1994 that shackled gun owners with new restrictions, federalized a number of crimes, and handed the feds police powers that the Constitution reserves to the states.

Newt lobbied for Federal ethanol subsidies, Medicare drug subsidy, and took several million from Freddie Mac.

Newt was fined $300,000 for ethics violations (lying to investigators, asking others to lie and fraud ) and asked to give up his congressional seat by REPUBLICANS!

New was Big supporter of Foreign Aid, often to our enemies.
- In one year (1994-1995) Gingrich voted for nearly $45 billion in foreign aid.
- He helped push through Federally-funded loan guarantees to Communist China.

Newt supported and promoted the same government one-payer health Ins. mandate supported by Obama

Gingrich quotes:

"[My ambition] is to be an old-time political boss in 20 years."

I WAS A GREEN PUPPET WHEN IT WASN’T COOL: “When I first ran for Congress I was the natural candidate of most environmental groups…” Newt Gingrich, “Winning The Future,” Page 168

"Grover Norquist is the person who I regard as the most innovative, creative, courageous and entrepreneurial leader of the anti-tax efforts and of conservative grassroots activism in America . . . He has truly made a difference and truly changed American history.”

Newt is the handmaiden of the most corrupt GOP Operative,Muslim loving Grover Norquist.
The Pledge: Grover Norquist's hold on the GOP,
CBS News Nov 20, 2011 . 60 Minutes on CBS

Newt Gingrich, the Eric Cartman of the Gop...same nasty disposition, spoiled little brat with only a neurotic mother to raise him, and Always only looking out for his own selfish interests. They even look alike!



QUOTE OF THE DAY!

*"Here it comes! For all you CfG's(chumps for Gingrich), I hope you enjoy mouthing, "character doesn't count," which you decried in 1992. ANY adulterer is a serial liar capable of convincing himself fully of the rightness of any course. This is why Newtie can turn on a dime, blowing "insurance mandate," "Global Warming," and "Contract with the Earth" in one instance and repudiating it the next."

UPDATE:
Hannity is using the old, 'well, Obama is worse than Newt' blather today. Reminds me of one of my grown kids, who every time he doesn't reach for the best he can be uses the excuse that there is always someone worse. Hannity is wrong, my kid is wrong and America would have never become more than a 3rd world dump if we had just settled for less than the best we could strive to be.

This should be the new GOP poster!

The really BAD property rights record of Newt Gingrich

UPDATE...It just gets worse!




Gingrich co-sponsored 418 bills in Congress with Pelosi during the 12
years they served together in the House, according to the Library of
Congress’s THOMAS database.

Gingrich was in Congress from 1979 to 1999. Pelosi has served since 1987. Speaker John Boehner, who has servedin Congress with Pelosi for more than 20 years, has only co-sponsored 104 bills with her.

Many of the bills Gingrich and Pelosi co-sponsored were hardly
divisive, But one piece of legislation SHOULD be problematic for
Gingrich with conservatives: the Global Warming Prevention Act of
1989, which never made it out of committee.

The legislation declared that climate change was “a major threat to
political stability, international security and economic prosperity.”

The bill could also make the pro-life community uneasy with language
about the availability of “family planning services” that included a
declaration that, “curbing world population growth will be critical to
achieving the goals.”

And while it prohibited funds from going towards “involuntary
sterilization or abortion,” it doesn’t appear the bill would have
prevented “voluntary” cases of abortion.

R.C. Hammond, a spokesman for Gingrich, didn’t comment when reached by email.

BIG GREEN GOVERNMENT 101
WHO SAID IT? NEWT GINGRICH OR AL GORE?

A POP QUIZ FROM AMERICAN TRADITION PARTNERSHIP (AmericanTradition.org)
Hint: These are all recent Newt Gingrich statements.

I WAS A GREEN PUPPET WHEN IT WASN’T COOL: “When I first ran for Congress I was the natural candidate of most environmental groups…” Newt Gingrich, “Winning The Future,” Page 168

CREATE GLOBAL SPENDING REGIMES: “If the United States challenged Europe and Japan to join it in financing a world biodiversity refuge system and tied foreign aid into the process of maintaining biodiversity, we could probably save a very high percentage of the earth’s biological richness…” Newt Gingrich, “Winning The Future,” Pages 170-171

SPREAD THE WEALTH, TO GREENS: “The United States should support substantial research into climate change, managing the response to climate change, and in developing new non-carbon energy systems.” Newt Gingrich, “Winning The Future,” Page 171

PUT DC IN CONTROL: “The federal government should establish measurable standards for a healthy environment…” Newt Gingrich, “Winning The Future,” Page 172

CASH FOR CLUNKERS? MORE, PLEASE: “A tax credit to subsidize energy efficient cars (including a tax credit for turning in old and heavily polluting cars) is another idea we should support.” Newt Gingrich, “Winning The Future,” Page 174

INDOCTRINATE THEM YOUNG: “As a young professor at West Georgia College, I taught in the second Earth Day in 1971 and coordinated an interdisciplinary environmental studies program.” Newt Gingrich, “Real Change,” Page 196

NEWT ENDORSES ‘CASH FOR CLUNKERS,’ AGAIN: “There ought to be a tax break for trading in old cars that use a lot of petroleum and emit a lot of pollution.” Newt Gingrich, “Real Change,” Page 204

WE MUST PROTECT THE ESA “That is why I worked so diligently as Speaker of the House to protect the Endangered Species Act, historic legislation that has been mired in controversy…The Endangered Species Act is an excellent example of the value of civility, consultation and collaboration.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Pages XII & 51

THE EARTH NEEDS A GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER “Government, at all levels, should be a facilitator for entrepreneurial, private-sector innovations and the formation of private-public environmental partnerships.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 13

STOP THE CONSERVATIVES FROM LIMITING GOVERNMENT POWER “For that reason, we have supported its (the Endangered Species Act’s) continuation against all challenges by private citizens, interest groups, and congressional opponents.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 53

CREATE NEW GOVERNMENT SPENDING PROGRAMS “The U.S. government operates endowments for the humanities and the arts…Perhaps, it is time we consider a new endowment for conservation and the environment.” “Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Pages 115-116 [NOTE: As Speaker, Gingrich told conservatives he wanted to eliminate the wasteful National Endowment for the Arts. Now he cites it as an example of a government spending spree that needs to be duplicated.]

SPEND ‘SIGNIFICANT’ TAX MONEY IN THE U.S., AND AROUND THE WORLD “Significant resources should be set aside to protect hallowed sites such as the Galapagos Islands, the Virguna Volcanoes in Central Africa, and Georgia’s Okenfenokee Swamp, to name a few.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 117

MILITANT ENVIRONMENTALISM…LITERALLY? “John Muir, for most of his adult life, experienced nature in spiritual overtones…He even favored using the armed forces to enforce environmental law…However, with the inexorable advance of the urban realm, the defense of forested land assumes a greater urgency as we strive to sustain the highest-quality standards for our nation’s air, water, and land.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 127

HOORAY FOR RECORD-BREAKING SPENDING HIKES! “Our national parks and wildlife reserves require more vigorous protection. With an eye toward strengthening his environmental legacy in the 2007 federal budget, President Bush requested the largest increase for national park funding in our nation’s history. We should expect nothing less than excellence from our national park system.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Pages 130-131

ENVIRONMENTALISM, OUR GLOBAL RELIGION OF PEACE “Far from becoming a new source of global discord, environmentalism, which binds nations to a common concern, will be the best thing that’s ever happened to international relations.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Pages 149-150

GLOBAL GOVERNANCE IS THE SOLUTION “We will need to organize a series of high-level global conferences that focus on specific [environmental] problems…” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 158

GOVERNMENT IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF INNOVATION “…the type of arduous research that produces real breakthroughs can only be funded by astute governments.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 167

NEWT WANTS TO BRING BACK CARTER ENERGY POLICIES “America used to be that kind of government [that spent millions of tax dollars on “energy research” welfare programs,] but our commitments have wavered in recent years so government incentives for energy research will be issues in future political campaigns.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 1
+667

NEWT LOVES THE UN’S KYOTO TREATY GLOBAL APPROACH “Mobilizing other countries to join us will not be as easy as it may appear. Many of the countries that signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol are lagging behind on their commitments.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 168

STOP CONSERVATIVE OPPOSITION TO THE ESA “The act [Endangered Species Act] has been, by any measure, a very successful guardian of wildlife and habitat and any attempt to weaken it should be resisted.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 170

NEWT INVENTS A NEW DISEASE ONLY ENVIRONMENTALISM CAN CURE “…our children, according to Louv, run the risk of acquiring ‘nature deficit disorder,’ a malady that he describes as a contributing factor to a recognized mental health construct, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Nature deficit disorder, not yet acknowledged by scientists or clinicians, is a working hypothesis that Louv believes helps to explain the onset of ADHD, and he proposes that exposure to nature should be offered as a therapy for children who have difficulty attending to stimuli and learning in conventional classrooms. His call for research in this domain is compelling.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 182

LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SHOULD REDISTRIBUTE INCOME TO ‘STIMULATE’ GREEN COMPLIANCE “Local governments operate much closer to the origin of environmental problems, and they have begun to provide tax incentives and large cash rewards for environmental compliance…While the motivation is driven by the application of tax dollars, the effect is rewarding rather than punitive…” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 194

DON’T CUT GOVERNMENT, JUST MAKE IT NICER “…our government, at all levels, must be modernized to successfully partner, let alone compete, with the private sector.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 196

MAN-MADE CLIMATE CHANGE IS A FACT “We agree that there is plenty of evidence that global climate change is occurring…While humanity is certainly causing its fair share of the change, scientists are still not able to precisely pinpoint the extent of the change, or the margin of error in their estimates.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 200

GIVING TAX DOLLARS TO LIBERALS IS OUR ONLY HOPE “In spite of the demonstrated liberal leanings in academia, we have nothing but respect for the nation’s scientists. They represent America’s best hope to protect the environment. We support a dramatic increase in science and technology research and development because we desperately need to understand global climate change and other environmental phenomena.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 201

MOTHER EARTH NEEDS ALL YOUR INCOME “Needless to say, an appropriate and significant investment of public and private funding to renew the earth will pay dividends.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 202

Massive tax hikes and new government spending? Federal & global regulation?
Real conservatives, like American Tradition Partnership, disagree.
Tell “Power-Grabbing Newt” what you think of his radical liberal agenda.

Gingrich’s Record on Property Rights

NRO

January 15, 2012

This morning on “Meet the Press,” former Speaker Newt Gingrich repeatedly insisted that he and the other candidates should be evaluated based upon their respective records. Fair enough. As it happens, Gingrich may be the only nominee who actively sabotaged an important conservative reform effort. Even though the protection of property rights was a plank in the Contract with America, and the enthusiasm of the property rights movement had been important in the GOP takeover of Congress, Gingrich personally prevented property-rights-protective reforms of the Endangered Species Act from passing the House and then gave one of the most liberal members of the Republican caucus and environmental activist groups a de facto veto over environmental legislation.
These machinations were documented in an article in The Environmental Forum, a magazine published by the Environmental Law Institute — an article Gingrich cited favorably in his own book on environmental policy. Does Gingrich still believe he made the right choice? What should conservatives make of this part of his record? Are there any other candidates who betrayed conservative principles so directly and with equivalent results? I’m still waiting for the former Speaker to address this part of his record (if he has, I have not seen it).

Chicano Park gets makeover ($1.6 million federal government grant for "La Raza" murals)
FOX 5 San Diego ^ | January 13, 2012 |

Thanks to a $1.6 million grant from the federal government, 18 of the murals are being restored.

The artists working on the restoration said each painting has significant symbolism.

“It’s that significant to me because it’s art for our people,”Charcon said. “It’s art of our people and for our people and [we’re] sharing it with different communities.”

Mexico home to five of world's deadliest cities

Snips
The council — an NGO founded in 2002 — compiled the list of the globe’s 50 most violent cities by comparing every city with more than 300,000 residents for which homicide statistics were available on the internet.

Mexico’s Ciudad Juarez, which led the list for three consecutive years, dropped to second in 2011 with a tally of 148 homicides for every 100,000 residents.

The other Mexican cities finishing in the top 10 for 2011 were Acapulco with 128 murders per 100,000 people, Torreon with 88, Chihuahua with 83, and Durango with 80 homicides.

Forty of the 50 most dangerous cities are in Latin America, including 14 in Brazil.

Ron Paul has the endorsement of a leading evangelic, Dr. James Linzey, president and founder of the Military Bible Association. For those of you Christians, both real and phony who would see this country ruled as a theocracy rather than a constitutional nation, you should heed his words:

“The tell-tale sign of being qualified for the presidency is not faith, but loyalty to the Constitution which defends the open expression of faith. Ron Paul seems to be the candidate most loyal to the Constitution according to the records ...
Having thoroughly examined your political philosophy and finding that your platform is 100% in line with the Constitution of the United States of America, and examining your political record to find that you have consistently upheld the Constitution and thereby faithfully represented your constituency, and studying your statement of faith to find that your faith and religious experience is 100% compatible with Evangelical Christianity and Orthodox Christianity, I hereby endorse you for the Office of the President of the United States of America. I wish you Godspeed!"

OF NOTE:

Despite Paul polling much better than candidates who received coverage, a montage of mainstream media clips that showed commentators ignoring, and two CNN correspondents admitting to suppressing, coverage of Paul. The Project for Excellence in Journalism found that Ron Paul did in fact receive substantially less coverage than other candidates in the 2012 race. Ron Paul was asked in a Fox News interview "What are they [the media] afraid of?" He answered "They don't want to discuss my views, because I think they're frightened by me challenging the status quo and the establishment."

The Project for Excellence in Journalism released another study in October 2011 further confirming that Ron Paul has been receiving disproportionately low coverage in the media

During the November 12 CBS/National Journal Debate, Paul was allocated 90 seconds speaking time. Paul's campaign responded, saying, "Congressman Paul was only allocated 90 seconds of speaking in one televised hour.


ANY, yes, including Christian 'conservatives' , should be OUTRAGED that ANY candidate is being intentionally sidelined! Just think where Paul would be (first instead of second!) if he had been treated fairly.
