"How much did I lie?"

The results of Wednesday night's first presidential debate are in and it's official: Mitt Romney won round one. He was aggressive, he was decisive, he delivered. Of course he also lied through his teeth for most of the debate. Romney lied:

• When he claimed that "pre-existing conditions are covered under my plan." They're not.
• When he said that President Obama had "cut Medicare by $716 billion to pay for Obamacare." Obama didn't.
• When he denied proposing a $5 trillion tax cut. He did.
• When he said President Obama had "added almost as much to the federal debt as all the prior presidents combined." Not even close.
• When he resurrected "death panels." That was called "one of the biggest whoppers of the night."
• When he stated that half the green energy companies given stimulus funds had failed. Only if three out of nearly three dozen is half.

Stayed tuned. These just scratch the surface.

Obama’s Executive Orders

From Factcheck.org....Obama’s Executive Orders
Q: Has President Barack Obama signed 900 executive orders, some of which create martial law?
A: No. Obama’s executive orders do not create martial law. And so far he has signed 139 executive orders — not 900.

 Does the media assume that they will share the power and control? Their shock will be at the response they will receive if they cross this president who has given them the illusion of free press.

 923  Executive Orders in 40 Months

During my lifetime,  all  Presidents have issued Executive Orders, for reasons
that vary,  some more than others.

When a President issued as many as  30  Ex. Orders during a term in  office,
people  thought there was something amiss.
   
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT  923   EX. ORDERS IN ONE PART OF ONE TERM?
  YES,   THERE IS A REASON.
IT IS THAT THE PRESIDENT IS DETERMINED  TO TAKE CONTROL AWAY FROM THE HOUSE AND
THE SENATE.

Even  some Democrats in the House have turned on him, plus a very small  number of
Democrat Senators question him.

HE SHOULD  BE QUESTIONED.    WHAT IS HE REALLY TRYING TO  ACCOMPLISH???

DOES THIS SCARE YOU AS MUCH AS IT DOES  ME?
________________________________

Not  really surprising that he appointed "Czars" to be in charge of  everything.
Emperor Obama?
Coming soon to a neighborhood  near you.

THIS IS NOT FUNNY, AND IF YOU VOTE  FOR HIM AGAIN, YOU CAN EXPECT MORE!

Remember  what he told Russia 's Putin: "I'll be more flexible after I'm  re-elected".

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION: Obama has  signed 923 Executive Orders in 40 months!
What did Congress do  in those 40 months? (The House - considerable. The  Senate
-nothing, not even a budget nor allowing any House bill  to be considered.)  A
whole new order must prevail in  Wash. DC as a result of this next election! Now
look at  these:

-EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take  over all modes of
transportation and control of highways and  seaports.
-EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize  and control the
communication media.

-EXECUTIVE  ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical  power,
gas, petroleum, fuels and  minerals.

-EXECUTIVE  ORDER 10998 allows the government to take over all food resources  and
farms.

-EXECUTIVE  ORDER 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into  work
brigades under government  supervision.

-EXECUTIVE  ORDER 11001 allows the government to take over all health,  education
and welfare functions.

-EXECUTIVE  ORDER 11002 designates the of all persons. Postmaster General  to
operate a national  registration

-EXECUTIVE  ORDER 11003 allows the government to
take over all airports and  aircraft, including commercial aircraft.

-EXECUTIVE  ORDER 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to  relocate
communities, build new housing with public funds,  designate areas to be
abandoned, and establish new locations  for populations.

-EXECUTIVE  ORDER 11005 allows the government to take over railroads,  inland
waterways and public storage  facilities.

-EXECUTIVE  ORDER 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to  federal
departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative  Executive Orders issued
over a fifteen year  period.

-EXECUTIVE  ORDER 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of  Emergency
Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive  Orders into effect in
times of increased international tensions  and economic or financial crisis.

-EXECUTIVE  ORDER 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to  enforce
the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute  industrial support, to
establish judicial and legislative  liaison, to control all aliens, to operate
penal and  correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the  President.

-EXECUTIVE  ORDER 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency  to
develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of  production and
distribution, of energy sources, wages,  salaries, credit and the flow of money
in U.S. financial  institution in any undefined national emergency. It  also
provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the  President, Congress
cannot review the action for six  months.


Feel  free to verify the "executive orders" at will... and these are  just the
major ones I'm sure you've all heard the tale of the  "Frog in the Pot"... you
all comfortable???
Watch Obama's  actions, not his words! By his actions he will show you  where
America is headed.

.  Just this week, Obama has issued a new executive order that seeks  to
"harmonize" U.S. economic regulations with the rest of the  world. This new
executive order is yet another incremental step  that is pushing us closer to a
North American Union and a one  world economic system.

Unfortunately,  most Americans have absolutely no idea what is happening.
The  American people need to understand that Barack Obama is constantly  looking
for ways to integrate the United States more deeply  with the rest of the world.
The globalization of the world  economy has accelerated under Obama, and this
latest executive  order represents a fundamental change in U.S. economic  policy.
Now federal regulators will be required to "harmonize"  their work with the
international community.

THIS IS  DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE??
THEN  PROVE TO YOURSELF IT'S WRONG.
Just  Google it!  

"you must never become tired of doing right" 2 Thessalonians

" Let us not grow tired of doing good, for in due time we shall reap our harvest, if we do not give up" Galatians: Chapter 6,  Verse 9"

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence! Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

September 11

O say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation.
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Great Job Katy Ives!

And the breakdown...Katy got votes across the board and overwhelming support in Newburyport, Amesbury, and Salisbury...

Misconceptions and Realities About Who Pays Taxes — Center on Budget and Policy Priorities

Executive Summary
Close to half of U.S. households currently do not owe federal income tax.  The Urban Institute-Brookings Tax Policy Center estimates that 46 percent of households will owe no federal income tax for 2011. [1]   A widely cited figure is a Joint Committee on Taxation estimate that 51 percent of households paid no federal income tax in 2009.[2]   (The TPC figure for 2009 also is 51 percent.) [3]
These figures are sometimes cited as evidence that low- and moderate-income families do not pay sufficient taxes.  Yet these figures, their significance, and their policy implications are widely misunderstood.

• The 51 percent and 46 percent figures are anomalies that reflect the unique circumstances of the past few years, when the economic downturn greatly swelled the number of Americans with low incomes.   The figures for 2009 are particularly anomalous; in that year, temporary tax cuts that the 2009 Recovery Act created — including the “Making Work Pay” tax credit and an exclusion from tax of the first $2,400 in unemployment benefits — were in effect and removed millions of Americans from the federal income tax rolls.  Both of these temporary tax measures have since expired.
  
  In 2007, before the economy turned down, 40 percent of households did not owe federal income tax.  This figure more closely reflects the percentage that do not owe income tax in normal economic times.[4]
• These figures cover only the federal income tax and ignore the substantial amounts of other federal taxes — especially the payroll tax — that many of these households pay.  As a result, these figures greatly overstate the share of households that do not pay federal taxes.  Tax Policy Center data show that only about 17 percent of households did not pay any federal income tax or payroll tax in 2009, despite the high unemployment and temporary tax cuts that marked that year.[5]  In 2007, a more typical year, the figure was 14 percent.  This percentage would be even lower if it reflected other federal taxes that households pay, including excise taxes on gasoline and other items.
• Most of the people who pay neither federal income tax nor payroll taxes are low-income people who are elderly, unable to work due to a serious disability, or students, most of whom subsequently become taxpayers.  (In years like the last few, this group also includes a significant number of people who have been unemployed the entire year and cannot find work.)
• Moreover, low-income households as a group do, in fact, pay federal taxes.  Congressional Budget Office data show that the poorest fifth of households paid an average of 4.0 percent of their incomes in federal taxes in 2007, the latest year for which these data are available — not an insignificant amount given how modest these households’ incomes are; the poorest fifth of households had average income of $18,400 in 2007.[6]   The next-to-the bottom fifth — those with incomes between $20,500 and $34,300 in 2007 — paid an average of 10.6 percent of their incomes in federal taxes. 
• Moreover, even these figures greatly understatelow-income households’ totaltax burden because these households also pay substantial state and local taxes.  Data from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy show that the poorest fifth of households paid a stunning 12.3 percent of their incomes in state and local taxes in 2011.[7]
