"About

"Gangsta Government is a project of Minnesota Majority

http://www.minnesotamajority.org/

, a non-profit government watchdog group. We believe the Obama administration, together with the 111th Congress, will go down in history as one of the most corrupt governments in our nation’s annals. The strong-armed tactics being employed to force their radical agenda upon the American people is reprehensible.  In response, we have created ‘Gangsta Governement‘, a rap video to educate Americans on the corruption that is robbing us of our liberties. Our hope is that this video will inspire people to take back our government from the secular progressive elites who want to transform America into a socialist state. Working together, we can restore the Founder’s principles of limited government and individual responsibility, preserving our precious freedoms for future generations.

We wish to acknowledge columnist Michael Barone who originally coined the phrase ‘ganster government’ in a 2009 column that was the inspiration for our video. Barone has subsequently authored several columns on this subject, including his most recent entitled Gangster Government Stifles Criticism of Obamacare.

We also wish to thank “The Infidel” for his outstanding performance in our music video. His courage in taking a stand for the truth in truly admirable. "

A Jack Daniels Fishing Story

A Jack Daniels Fishing Story

I went fishing this morning but after a short time I ran out of worms. Then I saw a cottonmouth with a frog in his mouth. Frogs are good bass bait.

Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog, and put it in my bait bucket.

Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit.  So, I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth. His eyes rolled back, he went limp. I released him into the lake without incident and carried on fishing using the frog.

A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. There was that same snake with two more frogs in his mouth.

Life is good here in the South.

"Koch Industries Lawyer to White House: How Did You Get Our Tax Information?

"......Holden (Mark Holden, senior vice president and general counsel of Koch Industries) tells THE WEEKLY STANDARD that this quotation from a senior administration official "came to our attention from different avenues.  We are very concerned about why this would be said about us, particularly in this setting.  We are concerned where this information would have been obtained from. We also are concerned in light of recent events that we have been singled out by the government and others as a campaign against us because of our political views." ......"

"Government Believes It Has A Right To The Wealthy’s Income

"During his recent speech in Ohio, President Obama made it clear his administration will soon raise taxes on those in the top marginal income tax bracket. While not surprising given the administration’s penchant for redistribution, the manner in which President Obama made his declaration brings cause for concern: “This isn’t to punish folks who are better off – it’s because we can’t afford the $700 billion price tag.” Not only will such tax-the-rich policy hamper U.S. economic growth, principally among small businesses, but the statement itself is a clear indictment of the president’s broader philosophical belief: Earned income is the Government’s, not the Peoples’. ............."
