Take That Terrorists

Last week a few radical Muslim (but I repeat myself) terrorists attacked the office of the French Satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and murdered members of its staff along with several police officers. The civilized world (minus one “leader”) rallied around France as a show of unity to demonstrate that people will not be terrorized.

The paper was guilty, in the eyes of the terrorists, of insulting the “prophet” Mohammad by drawing cartoon pictures of him. Mohammad was a child molesting murderer which does not upset his followers. Draw a cartoon of him and they lose what little minds they have.

Charlie Hebdo has a circulation of 60,000 but that number was surpassed in sales today when a 3 million run of the paper sold out. An additional 2 million copies were added to the run.

The paper’s cover featured a cartoon of Mohammad.

The paper will not back down even in the face of tragedy. The French people are not backing down or cowering. They bought millions of copies of the paper to show solidarity and to show they will not be intimidated.

Muslims around the world might not like it but there is another picture of the child molester on the cover. A Turkish court banned websites from publishing the cover and a radical Muslim Imam, Anjem Choudary (another terrorist), has stated the cover is an act of war.

These people do not like freedom. They run around the desert humping goats, raping women and children and murdering people who disagree with them.

The only way to deal with these kinds of people is to KILL them. We should go after “radical” Muslims who are involved in terror and eliminate them from existence. Once we kill them we should bury them with dead pigs.

I am happy that Charlie Hebdo decided to publish again and I am very happy they put a cartoon of that child molesting false prophet on the cover.

The magazine will make a lot of money selling millions of copies and the Muslim terrorists will have failed in their attempt to silence free people. Their intimidation tactic did not work.

I hope this incident inspires the world to hunt down these animals and dispose of them.
Ironically, with Obama in charge of the US we might be looking at everyone else define terrorism and radical Islam as we try to make excuses…..

I am sure the photo of the cover is copyrighted so here is a link if you want to see it.

French Actor Greedy For Wanting To Keep More Of His Money

The French elected a Socialist to the presidency and that person, Francois Hollande, raised the tax rate on the wealthy to 75% for any income over 1 million Euros. The wealthy in France are not taking it lying down as many move out of the country. One such person is French actor Gerard Depardieu who bought a home and established legal residence in Belgium where the highest tax rate is 50%.

It is a shame that an area with a 50% tax rate is considered a haven from high taxes but this is what happens when governments continue to raise taxes. People become accustomed to the higher rates so that they eventually seem fair when the rates get really high.

This is an example of Overton’s Window.

In any event, the move is not sitting well with French politicians who are very upset that Depardieu moved out. They just can’t understand why this guy would want to keep the money he earned. This is a problem with liberal/progressive/socialists, they think the money one earns belongs to government and can’t quite get a handle on why people balk at surrendering it.

The United States is led by such people who tell us very candidly that they believe in redistribution and that they think wealthy people reach a point where they have earned enough.

Amazingly, these people never feel they have earned enough. People like Bill Clinton leave politics and earn millions of dollars speaking and then look for ways to shelter the money. People like Warren Buffett decry low tax rates and scream for high tax rates on income while never advocating a tax on wealth. That would hurt them and they just can’t have that. Hell, Buffett owes the government a lot of money in taxes he has not paid…

Back to France. Keep in mind that Depardieu left to avoid paying 75% of his income (over a million Euros) to a place where he will pay taxes at a 50% rate. He is, in effect, keeping 25% of his money but he is denying all of the taxes he pays to France and that is not sitting well. The Socialist mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoe, described Depardieu as “…a generous man but in this instance he is not showing that.”

You got that? In order for Depardieu to show he is generous he needs to forfeit 75% of what he earns to the government. I would turn that around and say that the government is showing how greedy it is by confiscating three-fourths of what a person earns.

Once again, this is how these liberal/progressive/socialist leeches think. They think that if you work hard and earn money then you should have most of it confiscated by the government so it can be used to support others. You should earn that money for everyone else.

Or as Obama might say, you didn’t build that so you have no right to it…

The wealthy did not get that way by being foolish. Hell most got wealthy by Obama and his ilk designating 250k a year as being so but the truly wealthy got that way by taking risks and managing their money well. They will certainly be able to thwart government attempts to confiscate it.

The mob extorts money from people by threatening to send goons to harm them.

The government extorts money from people by threatening to send the IRS to harm them.

The only difference is that one of these entities has its extortion legalized but the outcome is the same. People are forced to comply until they can leave.

Depardieu did that in France and I suspect many Americans will do something similar. They might not leave the country but their money will go elsewhere.

Places where it can’t be fondled by the overly greedy government and its insatiable appetite for ever increasing and foolish spending.

But lest we forget folks, Obama owns all of this now. It is not on Bush or anyone else. It is on Obama. Anyone who follows him does so at his own risk (politically) but the onus is on Obama alone.

My only hope is that the pain that is sure to come affects those who voted for him in the most intense ways possible. You asked for it so you deserve what you get.

Au revoir….

French Kiss…Of Death

The French surrendered again as they voted a Socialist into the presidency. The French people ousted Mr. Sarkozy and replaced him with Francois Hollande, the first Socialist to rule the country in 17 years.

Nearly two decades ago François Mitterrand, a Socialist, ruled France and destroyed the economy with high taxes and increased spending (like American Democrats). Then, after the defecation hit the bladed cooling device, the people of France blamed capitalism for its woes.

Yes, those crafty French allowed a Socialist to tax and spend them into oblivion and then, after the damage was done, blamed capitalism.

Hmm, this sounds very familiar. I seem to remember hearing this somewhere else. Oh yeah, I got it. The American left has done the same thing. After decades of Democrat control and then control of moderate Republicans who went along with tax and spend policies the left now blames the inevitable disintegration on, get this, capitalism.

If we had true capitalism with little or no government involvement, then our country would be in great economic shape.

But in true liberal/progressive/Socialist fashion the left causes a huge problem and then blames it on someone or something else (Obama blames Bush for everything).

So the new French president, Hollande, hates capitalism, rich people, and freedom. He wants to tax the rich at 75% (imagine three quarters of what you earn going to government) so he can create more government jobs. Yep, again it sounds like the Obama plan.

And people say Obama is not a Socialist.

Obama has invited Hollande to visit the White House no doubt to discuss Socialist strategies.

The rich in France, meanwhile, are looking for places to hide themselves and their money to keep it out of the hands of Hollande. Imagine that, the rich are trying to keep their property from being confiscated by the government. Seems this is something else I have seen in America as wealthy Americans leave high tax states for low or no tax states. Only in France the rich are looking to leave the country, a plan that will likely hit America’s wealthy (whose businesses have already left our shores) should Obama succeed in taxing the hell out of them.

The French people voted for a crafty man who promised everything and he won. It is eerily similar to the American election in 2008 except Hollande proudly announced he is a Socialist while Obama denies being Socialist though his deeds tell another story.

Hollande will drive the French and what is left of their economy, which was already damaged by a Socialist, into the ground and will keep digging. France will be another Greece before long and America is not too terribly far behind.

You get the government you deserve and France deserves everything it is about to get. They think there will be no more (or at least diminished) austerity but eventually that will be the only card left in the deck.

France will soon be walking around with hat in hand begging other nations to bail it out and to pay for its stupidity. Like Greece (and American welfare recipients/liberals/occupy morons) France will expect to be taken care of.

Yes, the election of Hollande is a French kiss.

Of death…
