I am so confused about the fiscal cliff. Help?
To: Jim in Austin
From: Billy Roy in Hubbard
First, everyone in Austin is confused. It is that stupid communist newspaper, The Austin American Statesman (American my ass!).
Here is the net:
Our federal government has tax revenues annually of about $2.5 Trillion
Our federal government spends annually of about $3.5 Trillion
Even Biden knows this doesn't work. Now comes the politics aimed at the idiots (Biden included). Revenues come mostly from taxes. Republicans feel when taxes are low, the economy grows at more than the current anemic rate of 1.5% (should be more like 4%) because businesses and people invest and spend. They feel the larger the economy the more the federal government receives in tax revenues. Republicans believe the big problem is too much spending not too few taxes and an economy that is growing too slowly.
Now the idiot pitch. Dems say they believe additional government revenue should come from taxing rich people who aren't paying their fair share. They have argued the "Bush Tax Cuts" are not paid for and costs the federal government between $200-$300 Billion each year. The Bush tax cuts to households making over $250,000 a year accounts for only about $32 billion of that. Dems say there should not be any spending cuts to the middle class (including cuts to entitlements which represent 2/3 of all spending).
The big question: How does increasing taxes on the rich by $32 Billion annually solve a $1 Trillion deficit problem? Even Obama's math comes up short since this would only be 3.2% of the problem. Not to mention the $32 Billion tax increase would hit small businesses forcing layoffs and slowing plans to expand. That means fewer jobs.
To put this in perspective extending emergency unemployment benefits (put in place because of the terrible Obama economy) will cost about $5 billion per month or $60 Billion annually (twice the tax increase on the rich).
So what is our fearless leader in the White House focused on? He claims to have a mandate from the 98% of the people who make less than $200,000 to tax the 2% who make more and build businesses and hire people. He is obsessed with this single issue and his idiots are eating it up.
Just today the White House put out a press release about the dire consequences of the Republicans letting the "Bush Tax Cuts" expire for those making under $200,000. Just read this:
"Americans could spend nearly $200 billion less next year on cars, clothes, furniture and other consumer products than they would otherwise if automatic tax increases take effect as currently scheduled, the White House warned in a report issued Monday morning.
Such a crimp on demand would curb the growth of real consumer spending by 1.7 percentage points in 2013 and slow the growth of the overall economy by 1.4 percentage points, according to the report prepared by the President’s Council of Economic Advisers.
The White House released the report as part of an effort to turn up the pressure on Congress, which has barely a month to reach an agreement with President Obama on how to avoid the tax and spending changes or risk sending the nation back into recession."
Note the absurdity of this argument. If you don't raise taxes on employers (2%) we go over the cliff. If you do raise taxes on "the middle class" (98%) they will not spend money, and we will go over the cliff. So raise taxes on the rich gaining $32 Billion while losing the jobs and economic growth. Also, mark my word, Obama will say we shouldn't cut spending except on the military because the economy is weak. He will say he will cut later.
THE REAL TRUTH IS THIS IS ALL BULLSHIT. Obama doesn't want to solve the deficit problem. He wants the USA to go to its knees economically and the faster the better. He is only creating a scenario to blame the RICH AND THE REPUBLICANS for our decline. And the sad news is the idiots will eat it up.
Obama and his socialist followers are attacking the country, not only economically, but culturally (families and religion), and militarily (Middle East pullbacks and budget cuts, NOT TO MENTION WHAT HE IS DOING TO OUR MILITARY LEADERS).
I heard today that even PRAVDA is warning the US about our race to Communism. Obama doesn't want Communism because that would be too slow. He wants our destruction, and he wants it now.
Sorry, Jimbo, but that is the way it is.

My Heroes Are Almost Gone
Coming from a small Texas town most my heroes were athletes. At 70 years of age most of my heroes are gone. The next to last one passed away this week, Darrell K. Royal. In Austin he is just known as "Coach". I was fortunate enough to have friends who arranged a couple of golf games with Coach when I first arrived in Austin. These were some of the best experiences of my life.
Coach was a kind, tough, competitive gentleman, and a damn good golfer. We played at a fast, in fact, frenzied pace. When groups in front of us saw Coach coming they pulled their golf carts over to the side of the fairways and let us through. Not out of fear, but out of respect. After our golf games we went into the dining room for lunch and, Coach removed his golf cap. He expected others to do the same. It was not my practice at the time. It has been my practice ever since and will continue to be. Associations with Coach improved peoples lives. God bless him.
All of my other heroes except one are gone now. They include Mickey Mantle, Johnny Unitas, Don Meredith, and Tom Landry. I am not sure what qualities these gentlemen share that appealed to me so much. They were all great at what they did. They loved their professions. They were intelligent. They were fierce competitors. They were winners. They weren't perfect but they never let their fans down. They were just plain old fashioned heroes.
And to no ones surprise I have one hero from the political field, "The Gipper". Ronald Reagan served in politics as he played the role of the famed Notre Dame coach, Knute Rockne. He had every trait listed above and was gifted with the skills to communicate his values in simple understandable terms. He stood on his principles like a rock.
I have one female heroine, Audrey Hepburn. The actress who captured my attention in Breakfast At Tiffanys had many of the traits of the gentlemen, and she was gorgeous. She concluded her career serving the world in UNICEF. I made a sales call on them years ago in New York City and there was this huge picture in the lobby honoring her. She was the real thing.
I have one hero left, and he is not a sports hero. He is a minister for the Lord. His name is Billy Graham. He has the same traits: greatness, pride in his mission, intelligence, competitiveness (a genuine Christian soldier), a winner in every respect, and he till this day and at this advanced age, he has never let us down.
These are men we will never measure up to. I wouldn't want a hero who wasn't way better than me. However, we can strive to be just a little bit better by following their examples.
I had a feeling in the last couple of months that Mitt Romney could be one of my heroes. I think I see in him all the traits cited above. But, he lost his race. But then everyone of these other gentlemen lost at times as well. My hopes are that Mitt doesn't quit his service to this country. There are so many things he can do. He could take the leadership of a Conservative Republican Party. He could create an organization with a big cause maybe pulling together business leaders to influence those awful people in Washington.
How about campaigning for the 10th Amendment of the US Constitution? You know the one that says "powers not granted to the federal government by the Constitution, nor prohibited to the States, are reserved to the States or the people". Powers outside of the Constitution are not granted to Obama and his thug Czars from Chicago nor are they granted to Liberal Judges, nor are they granted to a Democratic Senate (like forcing citizens to buy health insurance with other taxpayers money). With Mitt's contacts and clout he could create a movement like the Tea Party, call it something like "Feds Suck". OK, maybe that's not the name but you know what I mean. This organization could lawyer up and sue the bastards every time they violate the 10th, which happens allot.
I would be interested in your heroes or your ideas as to what Mitt should do. Drop me an email and let me know. Heck, maybe we bundle them up and send them to Mitt.
Meanwhile, thanks for trying Mitt. And thanks for everything, COACH.

Why American Voters Chose To Arm Islamic Terrorists With Nukes
American voters by re-electing Obama have chosen to leave to our children and grandchildren a world with Extremist Islamic Terrorists armed with nuclear weapons. How does this happen? Pretty simple.
Iranian born Valerie Jarrett arranges a one to one meeting between Obama and the Iranian Supreme Mullah (now that Obama is through the election AND HAS MORE FLEXIBILITY- REMEMBER THIS WITH THE RUSSIANS?). These two come to an agreement in which the Middle East Leader of Islamic Terrorism makes public concessions that give the impression of only developing nuclear capabilities for peaceful means. Meanwhile the Iranians continue their development while reinforcing their capability beneath the ground and out of reach of Israeli bombing.
The world applauds Obama's peace efforts and the Iranians return to sanity. Obama gets his second Nobel Peace Prize. Israel has no ally left that would support any kind of a preemptive strike. Issue closed. Israel is toast, first. Others come later.
Three years later the Iranians have nukes. They arm their friends just as they have provided assistance in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt, etc. in killing Americans. Now back to today's headline, "Islamic Terrorists are armed with Nukes."
But there was more to the headlines. It also posed the question, "Why American Voters chose to do so." This explanation is not as simple. There are many, many reasons.
Resons such as:
1. Protecting a woman's right to choose
2. Supporting gay marriage
3. Protecting against any efforts to save Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security
4. To force rich people to pay their fair share while protecting "Obama's middle class" who pay no taxes
5. To continue to get "my stuff" from Obama. Stuff defined as food, housing, contraceptives, free health care, education, and spending money
6. To continue to protect illegal immigration by keeping our borders open and not enforcing our laws
7. To stop any efforts to be the guardian and leader of the free world by withdrawing and shrinking our military when we can use that money to get more "Obama stuff"
8. Because our re-elected President is a black man and we owe them that
9. Because I am not an old rich white man and feel that Obama understands me better
10. Because Obama loans me money to goof off in college and never expects me to pay it back
11. Because 3 million Republicans, who voted for John McCain, had better things to do than to vote
12. Because Mitt Romney is a rich, white guy who is guilty of a felony by having illegal bank accounts in other countries and founded and ran a company that raided small businesses, laid off the workers who had to drop their insurance resulting in the death of their wives, sent jobs to China, and made millions of illegal dollars to send illegally to foreign bank accounts (oops, I had already said that once, but you know what I mean, HE IS JUST PLAIN EVIL!). Besides, he never released 100 years of income tax returns and would not answer the question, "Have you stopped beating Ann Romney?"
The list goes on and on. These are just a few of the reasons why smart, good, hardworking Americans, "Chose to arm Islamic Terrorists with nukes."
So what do we do? We don't quit fighting. But we do have our work cut out for us.
Think about it and spread the word. The fight ain't over.
Jim
P.S. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in the Prague newspaper Prager Zeitungon.
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."

Pre-Election Letter From the Chairman of the Hubbard City Cafe
November 4, 2012
Jim,
Well these months of worrying about an Obama re-election and praying for a national wake up call come to an end on Tuesday of next week. Not sure how you feel about it but I can't help but feel downright sad. Sad that those who love this country and believe the founding fathers were geniuses are having to work so hard to preserve the principles that have made us the greatest and most honorable nation in world history.
I do believe that we have a slightly better than 50/50 chance to attempt to save the United States of America as we know it by electing Mitt Romney, but what a crying shame that it is this close. With it this close you can't help but think of what a calamity it will be if the other side sneaks out a slight electoral advantage and continues the destruction of the last four years.
Just look at current events:
1. A leftist, muslim leaning, anti-colonialist (anti-American) has near 50% of Americans cheering for his re-election as the leader of the free world.
2. There was no mention of Benghazi in Sunday's political shows covering up what will more than likely be the greatest political scandal in our life time. On the other hand if Romney is going to dodge the Benghazi murders, it makes it hard to fault the press. McCain and Fox are doing all they can to keep this in the news. If Romney wins on Tuesday his high road strategy was brilliant. If he loses, he blew it by not taking Obama on regarding Benghazi. In either case Obama is breathing a sigh of relief by not having to invent more lies to cover up those already spewed.
3. Three states (Maryland, Maine, and Washington) go to the polls to vote on allowing gay men and women to have full marriage rights. No state has passed this measure to date (only activist judges) but it seems they get closer and closer. With the current divorce rate and unwed mothers with welfare children all we need is to weaken God's sanctification of marriage even more.
4. Five states will vote Tuesday to legalize marijuana. Two (Arkansas and Massachusetts) are claiming its medical benefits, and three (Oregon, Washington, and Colorado) are calling it "recreational". As if young brains aren't weak enough now we need "recreation like this" to make them complete mush?
5. None other than Chris Christie praises Obama for talking to him on the phone, coming to New Jersey for photo ops that stop the pummeling he is taking from Mitt Romney, and for giving him millions and millions of dollars that Obama and we tax payers don't have for reconstruction of New Jersey in the aftermath of the storm. Sunday's talk shows praised Obama's bi-partisanship and his polls showing a 64% approval rating in handling the crisis. I hope Republicans remember this the next time Christie needs our support. To help re-elect Obama in a blatant act to get more federal aid for your state is what makes folks at the Cafe sick of politics and phony conservative politicians.
6. Reports circling the Internet are giving details of a May 2012 meeting with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi headlining a Democratic FUND RAISER to take money from Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood front groups. The participating groups published plans to defeat people like Allen West in Florida. Pelosi condemned Republicans Islamaphobes. Meanwhile Harry Reid announced this week that if Mitt Romney thought the Democrats would compromise with him if elected he was out of his mind. All of this as proof Liberals hate Republicans more than those who would destroy our country.
With these current events less than 60% of Americans believe we are going in the wrong direction. Put the negative way, over 40% believe the country is headed in the right direction. So why do I feel downright sad? Just seems like this great country has more things to worry about then destroying marriage, destroying young minds with dope, and redistributing things from good people to freeloaders, muslim terrorists, and crooked politicians.
Sad or not, this old cowboy ain't going to quit fighting. Tuesday is going to tell us just how big a fight we've got on our hands. In any case, the folks at the cafe ain't done. Real Americans will always find a way.
As always, hope you are making some headway with those do nothin, scum sucking Libs in our state capital.

Billy Roy Warns Against a Big Time October Surprise
As the news reports, retracts, and re-reports possible deals with Iran only weeks away from the election, I asked Billy Roy if he expected an "October Surprise". BM promised a face to face discussion this next weekend when I will attend the Hubbard High School Homecoming festivities. I will be the featured speaker at a meeting to honor (roast) a Hubbard legend, also known as Gut Anderson. Gut was an amazing athlete big enough and strong enough to throw the shot put in track and annihilate an opposing team in football as he anchored the middle of the line. He also was fast and nimble enough to compete as a pole vaulter, not to mention his fame as a baseball pitcher with a blazing fastball. But I diverge from our "October Surprise".
"Jim, there is no question the Dems are loading their cannons as we speak to attempt to shock voters at the eleventh hour back into the Obama camp. They are only waiting until they are sure there is not enough time for the Romney camp to respond to the bullshit. These Chicago thugs will go deep and dirty. Axlerod has a history of destroying his candidate's opponents in large urban areas where he has mostly represented Black mayors. I asked Butch Jackson, local finder of facts, to pull previous October Surprises. He went to the Dick Morris site and found the following:
From Dick Morris:
Let's remember the history of Democratic October Surprises. Of the past five elections, two have been won solidly by Democrats - 2004 and 1996. The other three all featured October Surprises:
• On October 30, 1992, Iran-Contra Special Prosecutor Lawrence E. Walsh announced that he would indict Bush Defense Secretary Cap Weinberger. The announcement came after Clinton, the Democratic candidate against Bush, had fallen behind in the tracking polls. Clinton surged on the final weekend and won the election, in large part because of the Weinberger indictment announcement. (Bush pardoned Weinberger after the election and he was never actually indicted).
• On October 1, 2000, it was revealed that George W. Bush had been arrested for DUI in Maine in 1976. The arrest had never been made public. Bush was several points ahead in the popular vote prior to the announcement but lost to Gore by 0.5% after the DUI story broke.
• Eight days before the 2004 election, the New York Times revealed that the weapons from a conquered Iraqi weapons dump had been looted by insurgents who were using these weapons against American troops. Democratic candidate John Kerry cancelled his regular TV ads to focus on the discovery and allege Bush Administration incompetence in protecting the weapons. Fortunately, four days later (and four before the election), the Pentagon issues satellite photos of the dump indicating that the story was false.
• The original October Surprise was pulled by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger on behalf of President Richard M. Nixon when he announced that peace in Vietnam was "at hand" on the eve of the 1972 election, only to see the war drag on for months more.
If there be any of us that doubt the potential of both this Administration and the Ayatollah for using chicanery and phony deals to impact the election's outcome, think again!
Meanwhile on the verge of our Foreign Policy debate we find out we had a Drone viewing the planned terrorist attack on Benghazi. Additionally, even the Associated Press is reporting Al Qaeda is flooding back into Afghanistan from Pakistan as we reduce our troop levels in our announced withdrawal. Experts are predicting Yemen will be the first nation to be run by Al Qaeda as bombing attempts are rampant from New York City to Jordan. Seems like Obama has Al Qaeda on the run but they are running in planned attacks on our friends around the world. Obama's plan to allow militant Muslims to gain "justice" is working.
Romney's first statement tonight should be, "Where do I start?"

• The original October Surprise was pulled by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger on behalf of President Richard M. Nixon when he announced that peace in Vietnam was "at hand" on the eve of the 1972 election, only to see the war drag on for months more.
If there be any of us that doubt the potential of both this Administration and the Ayatollah for using chicanery and phony deals to impact the election's outcome, think again!
Meanwhile on the verge of our Foreign Policy debate we find out we had a Drone viewing the planned terrorist attack on Benghazi. Additionally, even the Associated Press is reporting Al Qaeda is flooding back into Afghanistan from Pakistan as we reduce our troop levels in our announced withdrawal. Experts are predicting Yemen will be the first nation to be run by Al Qaeda as bombing attempts are rampant from New York City to Jordan. Seems like Obama has Al Qaeda on the run but they are running in planned attacks on our friends around the world. Obama's plan to allow militant Muslims to gain "justice" is working.
Romney's first statement tonight should be, "Where do I start?"

The Incompetents Latest Move To Get The Moron Vote
The Obama Incompetents have evolved their story (now called narrative by the elites) about Benghazi. Why? They are afraid even moronic voters are fleeing this sinking ship as more and more stories of incompetence and cover up come out each day. Moronic voters, in my definition, are those who have a mental age of from 7 to 12 years when it comes to political knowledge. Mental ages in the teens and higher will vote against Obama.
Here is the latest. To understand their strategy try to dumb down to the moron level so you can relate to their latest ploy. The Secretary of State, Hillary (stand by your man) Clinton, tells CNN the following:
1. The Benghazi situation is my organizational responsibility (not my fault, though).
2. My consulate organizations number over 240 (it is impossible for anyone to keep up with this amount of detail).
3. The President and Vice President were not informed of the security details of these 240 consulates (the buck doesn't stop there, either).
4. We have "career professionals" who are really responsible for security for our consulates (Note that these are not political appointees like me, the Secretary of State. These little people are honest and real buck stoppers.).
5. My greatest hope is that no one uses this tragic event to attempt to gain some political advantage (that would be you, Mitt Romney, if you bring it up in tomorrow night's debate you are shameless).
6. I would now hope we can all focus on investigating this incident to take revenge against the attackers and learn so that this is not repeated (and hopefully this stays quiet until after the election)
7. And then of course, this is backed up by Obama saying during he debate he is responsible for everything (which is nothing), and that he called Benghazi a terrorist attack in the rose garden the day after the attack (a whopper).
Morons of the political world, and particularly of the electorate, eat this up. This same ploy worked when the little girl in the blue dress blew the whistle on Hillary's husband. In other words, this is a tried and true approach that works with the press and with morons.
Let's break this down. Does the buck stop with the President when it comes to protecting those who serve our nation in dangerous federal assignments? Of the 240 consulates facing 911 which were in the most danger? Was Libya, which had reported hundreds of incidents (including blowing a huge hole in the fence surrounding the consulate), on the most dangerous list? Was this the type of topic discussed in White House Security Briefings? If not, why not? Was it discussed with the Secretary of State?
The attack was reported in real time as it happened. Who was notified and when? If the security people misled the administration initially, when did they correct their assessment? How did administration spokes people, including Obama, have it wrong for almost two weeks? When asked by the View women, "Was this a terrorist attack, why did the President say we don't know yet?" Why were administration spokes people political appointees (Clinton, Rice, Axelrod, etc.) instead of career intel professionals?
The truth is once the administration screwed up by not responding to warnings for more security Obama's campaign advisers took over. They created their story, hoped to launch a long investigation, and put the issue to bed until after the election. They thought it would work if the press would just co-operate. And it would have if it hadn't been for those pesky little debates with 60.000.000 viewers hearing about Benghazi first hand.
Again, if the administration is this incompetent, fire them. If they are covering up, fire them. If both are true (which is the case), fire them all.
Today, Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod are running the country, period. They have only one goal to re-elect Obama so he can finish his task of ruining (reforming) this country.
Today the campaign had four administration officials, speaking off the record of course, inform the press of Obama's aggressive plans to find and kill those responsible for Benghazi. Every pharmaceutical factory in Libya is on alert. Why? Remember when Bill Clinton bombed such after the embassy bombing in Nairobi? It was a way to change the subject, and say, hey, we did something. What top security team would alert the terrorist in newspapers that we are coming?
Folks, this is a very sad affair. Four great Americans are dead. Obama got the briefing and went to Las Vegas to campaign. Axelrod and Jarrett covered him. Hillary stood by her new man yesterday. Patreaus and other intel people are accomplices by their silence. The debate narrator came to Obama's aid tonight. Mitt Romney let Obama off the hook in the town hall debate. Sandra Crawley, the narrator, helped. However, Monday night is the foreign affairs debate. My guess is Romney will make it about Benghazi exposing the facts, lies, and cover up. He will show it is symptomatic of Obama's failing policies.
Obama's last resort in campaigning is all aimed at the morons needed to keep the elite in power.
It won't work. When you are this incompetent and deceitful even the morons listen to Clint Eastwood, WHEN YOU DON'T DO THE JOB, YOU HAVE TO GO.

"The Donald Trump Principle" Can End This Race
With debates, ambassador murders, and political discourse dominated by
claims of lies, lies, and more lies I thought it was time to check in with
Billy Roy, the unofficial Chairman of the Hubbard City Cafe. My question was
pretty simple and pretty direct. "BM, where is all this going?"
"This race is about over. One of the Republicans is going to trip on
what I call the 'Donald Trump Principle' and it just has to happen real soon.
When it does this race is over."
"Can't wait, BM. Lay it on me."
"It is about Benghazi, Jim. Ryan could have ended the race last night.
Romney could end it on Tuesday. It is this simple. Mr. President, assuming you
are telling the truth about Benghazi that you, Biden, Clinton (State
Department), Petraeus (CIA), and your other security leaders did not know about
the terrorist attack until about two weeks after it happened and that you
thought during this period of time it was a spontaneous demonstration about a
video that turned into an attack. Again, giving you the benefit of the doubt
that you are telling the truth that you, Biden, Clinton, Petraeus and security
crew did not know our consulate people were in danger and asking for additional
security as we approached the 911 anniversary. AGAIN, GIVING YOU THE BENEFIT OF
A DOUBT THEN YOU, BIDEN, CLINTON, PATRAEUS AND CREW SHOULD ALL BE FIRED
IMMEDIATELY FOR YOUR TOTAL INCOMPETENCE. ANY FOOL KNEW WITHIN DAYS, IF NOT
HOURS, THIS WAS A PLANNED ATTACK. ANY FOOL KNEW BENGHAZI WAS A DANGEROUS PLACE
AND THAT OUR AMBASSODOR NEEDED A FULL FORCE OF MARINES AND TOP SECURITY GUARDS
ALONG WITH FORTIFIED FACILITIES. FIRE THOSE IN CHARGE. WE CANNOT HAVE
INCOMPETENTS LIKE THIS IN CHARGE DURING THESE DANGEROUS TIMES."
"Now, Jim, let's explore the alternative. What if Obama, Biden,
Clinton, Petraeus, and the security leaders were lying about what they knew and
when they knew. In other words they were covering up the truth because it was
not convenient to support their claims that Obama had killed Bin Laden and had
Al Qaeda on the run which drove up his poll numbers before this election. So if
they are really competent but liars and colluding on a political cover-up to
keep the truth from American voters then guess what? OBAMA, BIDEN, CLINTON,
PATRAEUS, AND THE SECURITY CREW NEED TO BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY. RACE OVER!"
"BM, you might just have something here. If Donald Trump wouldn't put
up with this, why should the American people? And they won’t put up with either
the incompetence or the deceit if Mitt Romney will make the charge. The Chicago
thugs have trapped themselves."
It couldn’t happen to a worse group of people,
Jim
