two weeks ago, and that the very arguments for redistribution that we have in this country are going to be used to tax americans for the united nations or some global governance body. you say this is not a black helicopter theory. well, i believe that metaphorically the black helicopters are coming, but i think that the point is that if you re looking at obama s second term agenda, and what he ll do during the lame duck session, it s wrong just to think in terms of what he s going to do to this country. his plan, i believe, is for global governance. right now there are five taxes that they re about to impose on the american people. the u.n. will impose. one through the law of the sea treaty, a tax on our offshore royalties. the world health organization wants a worldwide tax on cigarettes. the u.n. wants an income tax that now will get billionaires. they want a robin hood tax on every time you sell a stock or
of the plan out of context which is . he lied about what the conclusion was. there is i think americans understand telling the truth cut rates across the board by 20% and eliminate deductions and exemptions. and that is where he can keep the rates the same. and i mean, i think the business is how the west reacted to the one issue that is the single most important issue. and there is then tried racism. you re getting the same thing with this. lie, lie, lie. and there is suddenly romney
fire burned itself out. all right. president obama is now acknowledging that his policies like the stimulus bill were not what americans wanted. but he didn t say those policies were wrong. instead, he said the country needed the government to help insert themselves during the economic emergency even if americans didn t like it. joining us is fred barnes, the executive editor of the weekly standard. he says dems suffered a shalacking, that was, i think, obama s term if i m not mistaken on tuesday because they bought into the five misleading theories about the country. welcome, fred. hi, how are you, eric? let s take them one by one. theory number one, belief by victories that the dems in 2006 and 2008 elections will keep americans left of center, go ahead, sir. well, we knew from the exit poll in 2008 that wasn t true because there were twice as many conservatives as liberals and
thrilled? are you nervous? are you worried about gridlock? is that a good thing or bad thing? i m very thrilled being able to have this opportunity to represent the people of the eighth district and i think we ll be able to work together to get through this. at the end of the day, we re all americans and we ll do what s best for america. right. and you were retired. so you didn t need this. your mindset is you re truly serving. i truly am. it s a continuation of serving as a naval officer. and i have a little skin in this game. there are my two boys, they re 6 and 9 years old, i want to leave them a better america like my father left me. congressman-elect cravaack, thanks so much for joining us and good luck. it s a pleasure. u.s. university student was killed in a shooting attack in mexico becoming the fifth american killed in six days. the 22-year-old, a classmate from the university of texas
