<p>The Americans for Tax Reform Website is offering a card (click the pick above), to comemorate when Candidate Obama promised to not impose any form of tax increase on families making less than $250,000.00 per year.</p>
<p>What this goes to show, is you should always watch how someone lives their life, as oppossed to just what they say, or promise.</p>
<p>As for this promise, it has gone by the wayside.</p>
<p>To be honest, though, I didn&#8217;t believe it when he said it. Wish he had meant it though&#8230;

<p>The Greatest Speech on Health Care Reform&#8230; &amp; any other reform&#8230;</p>
<p>This is one of the greatest speeches on Health Care Reform, Government, and personal liberty that I&#8217;ve ever heard! BAR NONE! It&#8217;s worth listening to every once in a while to wash your mind from the deluge of lies and perversion about how much help individuals need.</p>
<p>Many people won&#8217;t listen because of the speaker&#8230; the color of the video&#8230; and preconceptions&#8230; that is unfortunately their loss.

<p>The above article talks about how a California Atheist has pushed and seen the removal of Angels from the Christmas Trees because they promote &#8220;the cult of Christianity&#8221;. Okay&#8230;</p>
<p>At the same time, the White House is using ornaments with the great Chinese Dictator Mao Zedong&#8230;</p>
<p>Either way, the stream of consciousness on the left and right of the United States is to remove the true meaning of this holiday season. By the way, this is the Christmas Season, and the salutation is&#8230;</p>
<p>Merry Christmas!</p>
<p>PS: If anyone ever wonders what someone considers important, look at their Christmas Tree&#8230; you never hang an inconsequential ornament on a tree. Only what speaks of you values and priorities&#8230; just a thought!</p>

<p>Recently Al Gore was discussing the &#8220;Climategate&#8221; emails, and his answers can easily be discounted by utilizing the information superhighway that Al Gore helped create. For a great discourse on this you can read more at <a title="Climategate: Gore Falsifies The Record" href="http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/climategate_gore_falsifies_the_record" target="_blank">&#8220;Climategate: Gore Falsifies the Record&#8221;</a>.</p>
<p>On a completely different topic, sport fans all over America must be happy that the U.S. Congress is passing a bill to create a college football playoff system to determine a National Champion. (to read the article <a href="http://apnews.myway.com/article/20091209/D9CFVTR01.html" target="_blank">&#8220;House panel passes college football playoff bill&#8221;</a>). The article states,</p>
<p>&#8220;<span id="article"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: x-small;"><span id="article"><span id="intelliTXT">The bill, which faces  steep odds, would ban the promotion of a postseason NCAA Division I  Football Bowl Subdivision game as a national championship unless it  results from a playoff. The measure passed by voice vote in a House  Energy and Commerce Committee subcommittee, with one audible &#8220;no,&#8221; from  Rep. John Barrow, D-Ga.</span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p>This bill was sponsored by Rep. Joe Barton, a Texas Republican. Evidently he has issues upon his mind other than terrorism, taxes, and financial turmoil that can be seen in our nation. Thankfully John Barrow (a Democrat from Georgia) showed some sense and voted &#8220;no&#8221;. In case you ever wonder why Congress doesn&#8217;t really do &#8220;anything substantive&#8221; this is it!</p>
<p>Then again with Rep. Barton being in the minority party currently, and having no real chance at any meaningful legislative agenda<em> (other than scaring Americans according to the President)</em> this is a nice distraction. Oh&#8230; he graduated from Texas A&amp;M
