Much of what we believe about ourselves, our world and our politics, we learned from someone else.
Sometimes, years later, we still cling to this stufff, long after its proven wrong.

Patriotic Tax-Paying
Joe Biden, the Gandhi of modern American politics, says paying higher taxes is patriotic.
Thanks Mahatma Bidden! I was wondering how I could feel more patriotic - just pay more taxes.
That’s it?
That’s it.
In honor of your sincere outreach to America, I hereby suggest we call it…
"The Biden Patriotic Plus-Up"!
I look up to you in awed wonderment - what marvelous things you’ll do for America with all this extra money.
Gee, what do you normally do with our tax money? Let’s take a look.
- You steered $2.7 million in pork spending to a college your son had applied to. (hotair.com)
- In 2008, you secured $85,545,205 in pork (according to Taxpayers for Common Sense) for a plethora of groups from defense contractors to police departments. (harpers.org)
- In the above $85 million, some $400,000 was earmarked to D.A.R.E., an organization you knew had been described as disreputable by the GAO.
- For 2009, he is requesting $250 Milion in earmarks to pay for projects in his home state of Delaware in fiscal 2009,
Maybe your future boss will supervise you and make sure you don’t blow "The Biden Patriotic Plus-Up" on just a bunch of crap. Lets see Obama did since being elected to Congress.
- Senator Obama helped Biden in requesting $3.4 million in congressional earmarks for the clients of Biden’s lobbyist son, Hunter.
- He also secured over a million dollars in pork spending for the Hospital his wife Michelle was working at". (David M)
- In all, it looks like Obama’s 2007 earmarks were $97.4 million, and his 2008 earmarks totaled more than $330 million. (current.com)

[...] And my personal favorite, which I recently wrote about, made a rather ridiculous comment about paying higher taxes being patriotic. [...]
“Save Our Biden”
Alrighty, this man is clinically insane. First, he calls someone insane because he loves his guns and asks if Biden would take them away on the Youtube video debates, which he basically said “Yes”, then he asks a man in a wheelchair to “stand up”. Next, the man says “Obama aint gunna take away my Shotgun. If he tries to take away my Barretta, theres going to be problems” which contradicts the Youtube debate. Now hes saying its time to be patriotic and pay more taxes? Don’t make me laugh.
As I said - the gift that keeps on giving!
