Sunday Linkaround

A few links to some interesting Sunday reads.  Firstly, a couple of links to a few reads related to papal political activism and the role of the church in American politics. Now that the left has a socialist president, suddenly it's all cool for there to be a tighter link between Church and State.

But really, how reasonable is that?

Pundit Press: If the pope really cared about the poor...

How does that relate to how America is governed? 

Political Pistachio: Is America founded on Christian principles? The Treaty of Tripoli analyzed.

On an unrelated and more light-hearted note or two:

Left Coast Rebel: The Notorious B.U.S.H. Also, Left Coast Resistance.

But back to the serious situations facing America.  Why Americans don't want yet another politician in the White House, courtesy of Fredd.

And how does Mean Ol' Meany see the current state of the nation?  Funny you should ask, he has an update for you.

And for those of you still unsure of who Donald Trump is as a political candidate.  Join the club with Teresamerica.

Weekend Link Around (2 of 2)

Zoomed in perspectives.

More goodness in your weekend reading.  Continued from here.  Please read these items from some terrific bloggers.

Economy:

Club For Growth discusses Warren Buffett's faulty logic on wanting to be taxed more.  It's seeming more and more to me that it's about creating two classes of citizen using the tax code - capital gains tax payers and everyone else.  If you make $50 million in capital gains and $50,000 in regular income, who cares how how much tax you pay on the $50,000?  By taxing the latter at 95% you could prevent people from ever making it into the capital gains tax club.

A Conservative Teacher runs the numbers on Bush's job creation versus Obama's job destruction. It's exactly what you think, but it's good to see it in black and white.

Fredd says wake up and smell the oil. The obvious, re-stated very well.

Miscellaneous:

Scottcarp Dream ruminates on government censorship. 

Diogenes' Middle Finger talks about an Oscar nod for Obama.

Left Coast Resistance has another spot on rant from Zo.

All American Blogger has a number of great links of his own, along with some Johnny Horton.

Right Klik talks about Hugo Chavez' daughter and her fist full of American cash. Such irony.

Angry White Dude talks about some Christian beheadings of Occupy Wall Street protesters.

Meanwhile Bonsai from the Right compares Tea Party versus Occupy Wall Street statistically.
