Copenhagen, Denmark
U.N. Summit on Climate Change

Now that the circus is over and the roadies are packing up the tent, the clowns are on their way home and we all have some time to review what was said, done and demonstrated; we realize that amongst all the liars, scam artists and preening celebrities, there were some in attendance that were totally honest and truthful about what the whole 'climate crisis' thing is about.

Obama was not one of those. His ten minute speech was the predictable mind-numbing recital of catch phrases, lies and buzz words. (Yes, I watched and listened to whole thing and I'll never get back that wasted time.) His carbon-pumping plane ride trip was nothing more than a another "Hay yaw, look at me" stunt.

No, the honesty was delivered by Hugo Chavez. He made it perfectly clear in his speech why he was there, and it wasn't about Global Warming. It was about advancing Communism by destroying Capitalism. That's not just my interpretation of his words, that was his message plainly spoken with no hidden meanings.

TheStar.com reports:

... Chavez painted capitalism as the enemy of the earth — not to mention the cause of AIDS, poverty and war — in a speech to the UN Summit on Climate Change ...
"The cause of all this disastrous situation is the destructive capitalist system," the Venezuelan socialist leader told delegates Wednesday.

"Capitalism is the road to hell."

"I would exhort the government and the people of the earth ... to say that if the destructive nature of capitalism exists, let's fight against it and make it obey us," he said. "If capitalism resists, then we have to give battle against capitalism and open our way to save mankind."

If the putrid Chavez was the only one spouting the commie mantra, it would be of no portent. I wouldn't be spending my Saturday evening typing about it. But I am typing and you are reading, so there must have been others? Oh, you betcha. The building was slam full of commies.

Lenore Taylor, reporting for TheAustralian.com:

When he said the process in Copenhagen was “not democratic, it is not inclusive, but isn’t that the reality of our world, the world is really and imperial dictatorship…down with imperial dictatorships” he got a rousing round of applause.

When he said there was a “silent and terrible ghost in the room” and that ghost was called capitalism, the applause was deafening.

But then he wound up to his grand conclusion – 20 minutes after his 5 minute speaking time was supposed to have ended and after quoting everyone from Karl Marx to Jesus Christ - “our revolution seeks to help all people…socialism, the other ghost that is probably wandering around this room, that’s the way to save the planet, capitalism is the road to hell....let’s fight against capitalism and make it obey us.” He won a standing ovation.

Eh? what? Did you really believe that all the foot stomping and fist shaking of the warmies was about saving dear mother earth from the bad co2? You foolish child.
Those ingrates in Copenhagen cheered at the call for the death of Capitalism - and that is what it's all about.

Even more honesty was on display outside. Have a look at the following video.

For emphasis on my theme, here's some screen caps from the video.






Ya see that? They carry a banner with the famous Che image overlaying a map of South America. Gone are the days in which the leftists wore that image and claimed ignorance of the evil that was Che G. Because, as shown in the photo, they put his name on it. That means they know who Che was, and what Che was - and they are Oki Doki with that. They want their communism and don't care if another sadistic serial murderer (or two)(or a hundred) rises up to lead them and their hammer-sickle banners.
Crying for mother earth? Worried about Global Warming? Scared of carbon dioxide? Bullshit.



Manmade Climate Change & Global Warming; it is and always has been about redistributing the wealth of those that create it to those that waste it.

A song dedicated to soldiers and veterans is turning the third grade at Colonial Heights' Tussing Elementary School into an Internet sensation.
The response from around the world has surprised music teacher Michael Souders, who co-wrote the song "Thank You Soldiers" with his wife, Angela, and posted the video on multiple video-hosting Web sites, including You Tube.
The third-graders gave a school performance after Veterans Day, and Souders wanted to write a song for the students to sing that was not just about the soldiers, but to them.
"I wanted to write one that would be very sweet from [the students'] hearts, from them singing directly to the veterans and soldiers," he said.
The three-minute video has the lyrics to the song displayed over photographs of soldiers past and present. The song opens by celebrating the ability to sleep peacefully at night while soldiers protect America's shores "in the air and oceans, too / Defending freedom at all cost."

While Souders never served in the military, he has a deep appreciation for those who do. "Not having served, I feel indebted more," he said.
Souders said the students received certificates from the Military Chaplains Association of the United States of America and Catholic War Veterans of the U.S.A. for the performance. The class also is receiving notes and e-mails from all over the world, from active-duty soldiers to veterans to their families.
Since being uploaded to You Tube and other Web sites early last month, the video has been viewed more than 15,000 times. The song has been played on various radio stations throughout the Richmond area.
"The real, real desire for that video [was] the more soldiers that get a thank-you, the better," Souders said. "It's almost become a class project, to see how many soldiers we can thank."
One thing is certain, Souders said: "They are going to remember; it's not something they'll soon forget."

I received this via an email with the same title of this post.

Note to Republican Party: You can learn alot from Metcalfe. So pull up a chair, sit down, shut up and take notes.

Last year, Vets for Freedom brought hundreds of veterans to Capitol Hill to support General Petraeus and the Iraq Surge. The result, our commanders and troops on the battlefield got the resources they needed, and we're winning the war in Iraq.

This is another call to action. Vets for Freedom is asking every Afghanistan veteran, and other veterans, who believe in defeating America's enemies to converge on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC on Thursday, November 5. It's time for the warfighters to tell their representatives--face to face--to give the Commanders what they need.

What a thrill to be invited to Latin Music night at the White House. Every Latino who mattered was there from J.Lo, to Eva Longoria-Parker, to Sonia Sotomayor. Unfortunately, Spc. Jesus O. Flores Jr. of La Mirada, California was not in attendance -- he was busy dodging the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Though irresolute on some issues Barack Obama has been right on schedule when it comes to supporting music and culture. According to one account, amidst the sober reality of wartime, "The Obama's are demonstrating a commitment to use the White House to promote the arts in a huge way."

Since day one, Obama hasn't missed a beat when it comes to drawing all kinds of celebrities and music groups to his monthly installments of music night. For Noche Latina, "Michelle and Barack Obama sat one table over from J.Lo and Marc Anthony, and all four of them were rocking in their seats as Sheila E. shook the house."

And while Shelia E. was "shaking the house" with that Latino beat, four soldiers in Kandahar province Afghanistan were being shaken on all sides by mortar fire as they patiently waited for the President to make a decision about sending troop reinforcements, which to date he has failed to do. Obama might as well be playing 3 on 3 with the guys, while a toddler stands in the street in the wake of an on-coming bus. His behavior is on par with swooshing a few more shots into the hoop before removing an endangered child from the path of a bus.

In an interview, Latino performer Romeo Santos averred that the President's support is a powerful tool in giving Latino music "mainstream respect." Obama has such a busy schedule garnering public support for Latino music he can't squeeze in time to meet with his Secretary of Defense and war commander General Stanley McChrystal?

According to Robert Gates, "It's just a matter now of getting the time with the president, when we can sort through these options and then tee them up for him to make a decision."

Twenty-eight soldiers from Fort Carson have died in the last two weeks alone. Generals in Afghanistan continue to lose soldiers as Obama drags his Mexican nortego dancing feet trying to make a decision about troop reinforcement. One can't help but wonder why gaining respect for Latino music is even on the President's roster.

Adventura lead singer Santo, scheduled to perform at Fiesta Latina, ecstatically said, "A lot of times minorities get treated like second-class citizens...it doesn't feel that way today." No need to worry Romeo, Spc. Jesus O. Flores Jr., and the rest of those serving in Afghanistan have been unofficially awarded the title of "second-class citizen" from the Commander-in-Chief, Barack Obama.

One has to wonder, if Obama was as indecisive about picking finger foods and dessert options for Fiesta night as he is about accepting the recommendation to send 40,000 troops from his commanding Generals in the field? American soldiers' lives hang in the balance while Obama, in an effort to foster culture and diversity at the White House, munches on Fresh Corn Polenta with Roasted Bacon in a Guajilio-Ancho Adobo with Jose Feliciano.

Regardless of his ethnicity, Flores likely would have preferred Obama spend his night concentrating on making a quick decision about a troop surge. Instead, the President chose to spend precious time delighting guests while making sure to not step on Thalia's toes "...who lured him onto the dance floor."

On Latin music night, Obama, extolling the virtues of diversity said, "...it is the same thing that's always made America great: the unique ability to celebrate our differences, while creating something new; to realize that although we may come from different backgrounds and different cultures, what unites us will always be stronger that what divides us." Obviously, Obama is so busy enjoying himself he failed to notice the diverse makeup of the US Military.

The U.S. Armed Forces are a reflection of America -- virtually every possible ethnic and religious group is represented. The military is a team of men and women from all over the United States working together with a single purpose: to protect our Nation and fight for freedom...where each service member is judged by his or her performance -- never by race, color, religion or gender. It has been said that if society as a whole were more like the military in this regard, the U.S. would be a better place.

Barack Obama could learn a thing or two from our Armed Forces.

The day after Fiesta Latina, Obama cooled his tired Salsa-heels, while the tents were disassembled, the white folding chairs were collapsed and the candied cacao swept from beneath the tables. At the same time, thousands of miles from the White House, Flores, part of diverse band of brothers, was fatally wounded when a Taliban planted bomb struck the vehicle he rode in.

According to deputy social secretary in charge of the White House music series, the President and First Lady, "...made it clear early on that they wanted to use their new home as a platform for the best and the brightest that America has to offer." It appears as if that elite group consists of people like Los Lobos, Tito "El Bambino" and Latino guest chef Maricel Presilla. Nowhere on the guest list were the names of Staff Sgt. Glen H. Stivison Jr., Spc. Daniel C. Lawson, and Pfc. Brandon M. Styer, all of whom died alongside, Jesus O. Flores Jr. waiting for Obama to send reinforcements.

If all goes well for the Obama's cultural music series, hopefully the four flag draped coffins arrive home before their deaths hamper the party atmosphere of Classical Music Night.

A couple of videos of the Constitutional Townhall held in Garner, NC October 15.
Organized by NCFreedom.us

While our troops are engaged in a war against murderers and sub-humans that do not recognize nor abide by any conventions or decency, under the harshest environments imaginable - they are made keenly aware that only they seem to take the battle seriously.

Ever since the current theater of battle was opened, our troops have been under assault from enemies they cannot fight, adversaries they are not allowed to recognize. Within the last decade the defenders of our freedom and our constitution have endured the ridicule, disrespect and outright hostility of an insurgency that attacks them from the rear, from within the ranks of the people they sacrifice to protect.

Even their commander in chief demonstrates no consideration or desire for victory.

Perspective.
Right now, federal prosecutors and NC state officials are debating the release of over 20 murderers and rapists from state prisons. Convicts with life sentences are to be released, only one will be required to endure parole. Yet, the finest among us serve - voluntarily - in conditions and circumstances far, far worse than our prisons. They do so not as punishment, not as a sentence but - to them - an honor and duty.
While rapists and murderers are freed, our troops continue to endure worse conditions and worse treatment.

This is not acceptable. This is travesty. This is unjust. This is shameful.

Several groups of North Carolinians are making plans to try - in a small way - to grant some respect, admiration and gratitude to the men and women of our military. This saturday, October 24, in Fayetteville, NC - they will spend four hours to hold a troop-support rally and 'rolling tea party' to honor those that serve at Fort Bragg.

Will you come, please? Will you join us in saying simply - thank you.

Will you miss that ballgame to serve a nobler purpose? There will be another game, probably the next day.
Will you give up a few holes of golf? The grounds keepers will still be preening the green next weekend.
Will you pass up the state fair? It's the same rides, bad food and displays that were there last year and will be there next year.
Will you postpone washing the car, painting the bathroom, watching that movie, lighting the grill or whatever routine entertainment it is that can wait.

Take a day off from enjoying your American blessings to say thanks to those that protect those blessings.

Drill
Petroleum is a major part of America’s energy picture. Shall we get it here or abroad?

By Sarah Palin

Given that we’re spending billions of stimulus dollars to rebuild our highways, it makes sense to think about what we’ll be driving on them. For years to come, most of what we drive will be powered, at least in part, by diesel fuel or gasoline. To fuel that driving, we need access to oil. The less use we make of our own reserves, the more we will have to import, which leads to a number of harmful consequences. That means we need to drill here and drill now.

We rely on petroleum for much more than just powering our vehicles: It is essential in everything from jet fuel to petrochemicals, plastics to fertilizers, pesticides to pharmaceuticals. Ac­cord­ing to the Energy Information Ad­min­is­tra­tion, our total domestic petroleum consumption last year was 19.5 million barrels per day (bpd). Motor gasoline and diesel fuel accounted for less than 13 million bpd of that. Meanwhile, we produced only 4.95 million bpd of domestic crude. In other words, even if we ran all our vehicles on something else (which won’t happen anytime soon), we would still have to depend on imported oil. And we’ll continue that dependence until we develop our own oil resources to their fullest extent.

Judi McLeod, remembering 9/12

On October 10, Raleigh N.C. will witness a new type of Tea Party. We call it a Rolling Tea Party.

The Rolling Tea Party will be hundreds of people slowly driving their automobiles along a pre-designed route, advertising the RollingTeaParty.com website. Each car will have the website URL written on windows and signs, with American flags and Gadsden flags attached to draw attention. As the general public sees these cars and reads the signs, it is our hope they will look up this website to see what's going on.

The website will be altered on October 10 and thereafter to deliver the tea party message to people that come to see what all the cars were about.

The idea of a rolling tea party is to take the people that attend the 'standard' tea party/townhall/protest and spread them throughout the city.

Of the tea parties that were held in Raleigh, NC, the smallest attendance was about 1,000. The impact on the general population during the event was minimal; only people in the immediate area knew about it. Outside that four block area, thousands of people went about their business and lives completely unaware of the tea party.

A Rolling Tea Party will disperse the message across the city, exposing thousands to a spectacle that they may not understand at first, but they will remember. They will ask questions, they will go to the website.

Make your plans to participate, put aside a few hours on Saturday for civic duty.
Go to RollingTeaParty.com for more details, and help make this one as successfull as previous tea parties in North Carolina.

So, what exactly is the basis of the Cap-n-Trade scam?

The following is reproduced in full from Doug Ross Journal

10. Doctors who treat the oldest patients will be fined by the government: The government will create a "hit list" of doctors who are in the top 10% of Medicare costs per patient nationwide. Those doctors on the list automatically lose 5 percent of their total Medicare reimbursements, which are already abysmally low. Because the most aged patients are the most costly to treat, doctors will shy away from treating the oldest segment of the population for fear it will relegate them to the hit list. Put simply, this stricture will dramatically reduce access to health care for our most vulnerable seniors.

9. Democrats have combined free health care for illegal immigrants with measures to increase the number of illegals in this country: All GOP efforts to amend the health care bills to require a photo ID, a Social Security number and similar measures have been defeated on party lines. This is consistent with a June report ("If the American people found out...") that "[pro-illegal immigration group] La Raza said if they get this, they don't even care about amnesty, because they've fixed it so that one family member can apply for all extended family members."

8: Seniors will receive hefty tax hikes for care: Medical devices are taxed by the Baucus bill in order to raise about $4 billion annually. So much for the promises that the middle class won't see their taxes raised. These newly taxed devices include pacemakers, hip joint replacements, gastrointestinal tubes, artificial hearts, hearing aids, heart defibrillators, powered wheelchairs, etc. In other words, the taxes will hit seniors hardest, make procedures less affordable, and punish the device manufacturing sector.

7: Choose to self-insure? You'll face a year in prison: Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staff Tom Barthold [confirmed] the penalty for failing to pay the up to $1,900 fee for not buying health insurance: Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty.

6: Taxes for everyone with health care insurance will increase: To pay for the $1 trillion cost of the bill, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi wants either an income surtax on the wealthy or higher taxes on "Cadillac" health plans (e.g., most comprehensive plans, including those of union members). Again -- so much for the promises that the middle class won't see their taxes raised.

5: Nearly half of all doctors would consider quitting if ObamaCare becomes law: Two out of three doctors oppose the bills under consideration in Washington. And hundreds of thousands of doctors would take an early retirement or shut down their practices if the bills become law. Lastly, "72% of the doctors polled disagree with the administration's claim that the government can cover 47 million more people with better-quality care at lower cost."

The following column by Selwyn Duke is reproduced in full from
AmericanThinker.com

Contrary to what my title indicates, I probably judge Barack Obama more harshly than most reading this page. I don't think he is just a misguided ideologue or merely a creature of expediency. I believe, practically speaking, he is an evil man. That is to say, while he is largely ignorant like so many others, he has developed an affinity for evil. He mistakes it for good.

Yet, to be blunt, Obama doesn't alarm me as much as the average American. To explain why, I'll present something Roman philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero said 2000 years ago when lamenting Julius Caesar's rise to dictator:

Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and gave him triumphal processions . . . . Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the 'new, wonderful good society' which shall now be Rome's, interpreted to mean 'more money, more ease, more security, more living fatly at the expense of the industrious.' Julius was always an ambitious villain, but he is only one man.

Barack Obama is only one man. A bad man, yes, but he is a symptom more than a cause. Without millions of fawning Americans, he would just be a community agitator, vainly preaching Alinsky principles from a soapbox. Of course, he is a symptom that exacerbates the underlying problem, and symptomatic treatment -- to ease immediate pain and hardship -- is certainly in order. But it is only the worst of physicians who focuses only on symptoms while ignoring the cancer eating away at the patient's midst.

Some of us lament the presence of self-professed communists such as Van Jones -- and other assorted intellectual mutants, such as Cass Sunstein and John Holdren -- in government, and how we elected a man who broke bread with self-professed communists such as Bill Ayers. But why complain now? We've had self-professed communists such as Bill Ayers -- and other assorted intellectual mutants, such as Ward Churchill, Cass Sunstein and John Holdren -- in academia for many decades. And good Americans still donated money to universities and still sent their most precious possessions, their children, to them. So, should it be any surprise that millions of these children would, knowing nothing and feeling all the wrongs things, flock to the polls and cast votes for people just like their teachers and professors? You may say that their parents knew nothing of these universities' true nature. But it was their place to find out. And Obama did not create the modern academy. He is more a creation of it.

In a recent video release of the David Manning Interview, Manning stated that Obama's power is in the press. The mainstream media made Obama's presidency possible, gave him the power that he arrogantly over-estimates.

The media abandoned mere bias to become an active and integral partner in the Obama campaign. The freedom of the press, protected by the first amendment, was abused to hide the scandals of their candidate, to downplay the questionable associations of their candidate, to canonize their candidate in sainthood, to attack their candidate's opponents with lies, mockery and smears.

The media has enjoyed a free pass for decades to support liberal and leftist agendas. That era ends ... now.

Stephanie Avery writes at Examiner.com: Nationwide 'march on media' is organizing in Raleigh saying

Operation: Can You Hear Us Now is a grassroots effort to bring attention to the media bias exhibited by mainstream media outlets such as CBS, NBC and ABC. The lack of coverage of newsworthy and important happenings, most recently ACORN and Washington DC Tea Party, has not gone unnoticed. And people are angry.

Organizers state "We are protesting to defend our liberties and speak out against the complicity of the media given the scope of its influence." They ask attendees to make signs strictly about media, and not about Obama, health care, taxes or any other hot issue. The goal is to stay on topic and not give the already bias media ammunition to disregard this event as well.

So far approximately 100 cities around the country have confirmed participation. Raleigh's rally will be held at WRAL-TV studios on 2619 Western Blvd. The march begins at 12noon, Saturday October 17th.

The Making of a Right-Winger
J. K. McGowan

Thank-you, President Obama. I think of my favorite hymn, Amazing Grace - "I once was blind and now I see".

I have lived a mostly apolitical life. Oh, I mourned the end of Camelot with the assassination of JFK, abhorred the arrogance of Richard Nixon, suffered the gas lines under Carter's reign, listened with hope to Ronald Reagan's speeches and despised the amorality of the Clintons. But still embraced no political ideology.

In 2000 I voted for George simply because I admired Barbara and he is her son. Newly retired, I then had time to closely follow the coverage of the "stolen election". "Count all the votes", the big Democrat lie, was the impetus for me to change my party affiliation to Republican. Eight years later, not proudly, I voted for John McCain.

Almost a year after the election, with Obama's relentless attacks on our Constitution, I am a rabid, "hate mongering", "lying", "racist", "violence inciting", on the terrorist watch list right winger. I have discovered Levin, Stehn, Rush, Beck, David Horowitz, The American Thinker, Imprimus, the Heritage Foundation and so much more. My "seasoned citizen" brain is overflowing with knowledge of czars, White House and congressional corruption, communism and radicalism in America and, most importantly, the founding principles of our great nation. Being informed isn't easy. I email and phone Congress and I worry about our future. Ignorance cannot be reclaimed. I once was an "in the closet" proud American. I am now a loud, "you will not destroy our country", flag waving, "save our Constitution" PROUD AMERICAN.

Thank you, President Obama.

Civitas Institute

In a recent USA Today article summarizing how states balanced their budgets this summer, Vice President of the National Taxpayers Union Pete Sepp declared, "With a few exceptions, states have been able to avoid the doomsday projections that big tax hikes were on the way."

Unfortunately, North Carolina was one of those “exceptions.”

As part of the FY 2009-10 budget, North Carolina lawmakers introduced more than $1 billion in new taxes. Indeed, of the three major taxes typically imposed at the state level – income, sales and corporate – North Carolina managed to raise all three. Specifically, the sales tax was increased by a penny, and lawmakers created a “tax surcharge” to be levied onto the corporate tax and personal income tax of single filers earning above $60,000 and married filers earning above $100,000.

State lawmakers insisted that these steps were necessary to balance the budget. Apologists justify the tax hike by claiming that “everyone else is doing it,” and therefore North Carolina’s economic competitiveness will not be harmed. That’s not true.

A report from the National Council of State Legislatures (NCSL) shows that among southeastern states, North Carolina stands virtually alone in its decision to impose massive tax hikes to balance this year’s budget.

Recall that North Carolina raised all three major state taxes – sales, corporate and income. By comparison, no other southeastern state raised even one of the three major taxes in 2009.

The most significant tax raiser among other southeastern states was Florida, with about $1.2 billion in new taxes. Another billion was raised from increased vehicle registration fees. Bear in mind, Florida has no income tax. The other southeastern states imposed little or no tax increases on its citizens. States that did raise taxes merely introduced minimal, targeted tax increases - while not raising any of their major tax rates. Meanwhile, Georgia, Louisiana and South Carolina refrained from raising any taxes whatsoever.

Conversely, North Carolina imposed a laundry list of new taxes, including: a higher sales tax ($803 million), corporate and personal income tax surcharges ($196 million), higher “sin taxes” ($69 million), and the new “Amazon” and digital taxes ($12 million).

These developments show that North Carolina’s decision to impose massive tax increases to balance its budget was rather unique among states in the region. Aside from Florida, which was blasted by the bursting of the housing bubble, the next most significant tax hike in the southeast was a $200 million increase in hospital assessments in Alabama – a paltry amount when compared to North Carolina’s billion dollars in new taxes. Why did North Carolina resort to such measures when virtually the rest of the southeast didn’t?

North Carolina’s dependence on tax rate increases doesn’t bode well for the state’s economic competitiveness. Currently struggling with 11 percent unemployment – tied for eighth highest in the nation – the Tar Heel State’s economy was already weighted down by some of the highest sales, income and corporate tax rates in the region.

The new higher tax rates included in this year’s state budget will further highlight North Carolina as a high-tax state in a relatively low-tax region, further harming a state already struggling with a poor level of competitiveness. The Tax Foundation currently ranks North Carolina’s business climate a dismal 39th in the nation, the worst ranking in the southeast. Likewise, the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council ranks North Carolina 39th in terms of entrepreneur-friendly policy environments, also worst in the southeast.

Indeed, state government’s past policies have harmed North Carolina’s economic competitiveness, causing us to be among the hardest hit states during this recession. Unfortunately, the new taxes will put us even further behind.

How do you explain to your child that there really are monsters?
Monsters that prey on their innocence, their bodies and their blood?

The real monsters don't live under their bed or in the closet.

In the news today is the story of Roman Polanski's arrest for his 1978 conviction of rape. He raped a thirteen year old girl. He drugged her, and raped her in many different ways.
Polanski is a monster but he's not the only monster in this story. There are more - and they all have something in common.

It seems that the entire liberal celebrity culture in America is marching to the defense of Roman the child predator:
The View's Whoopi Goldberg on Polanski: 'It Wasn't Rape-Rape'. Click that and read the whole thing and be amazed, no - be sick to your stomach - at the rationalizations of another monster. The liberal monster.

Goldberg is a liberal monster.

Liberal monsters, in a variety of forms including celebrities, politicians, journalists and activists, look out for each other. While they don't all prey on our children, they defend and assist the ones that do.

The corrupt organization ACORN has been involved in a range of illegal activities for decades, but their corruption didn't gain national attention until they got caught red-handed in the act of aiding, abetting, facilitating child prostitution.

After ACORN offices in multiple cities were caught, liberal monsters across the country cried foul, condemning the mean ole right-wingers on witch hunts.

Congress was forced to vote to defund ACORN of billions of dollars of federal (our) money - except for 75 Democrats.

75 Democrats voted against defunding - they voted to allow ACORN monsters to continue using our money to facilitate the prostitution of minors.

One of those Democrats is running for re-election in 2010.

His name is

David Price

Take a moment to think about the mainstream media industry. Consider how they decided, last year, to abandon mere bias to become an active working part of the Obama campaign. The freedom of the press, protected by the first amendment, was abused to hide the scandals and downplay the questionable associations of the candidate that is now the president in training. The media used their resources and powers to promote one side, and did so without shame or apology - and without a trace of objectivity.

We've tolerated the media bias for decades. We get mad at them, pull our hair, grit our teeth and wonder what is wrong with them. But we have never doled out the spanking that this spoiled brat deserves.

Now, ten months after the mainstream media's election victory, after ridiculing thousands of patriots who protested in tea parties, after branding us as extremists, domestic terrorists, racists and nazis, after ignoring one and half million of us in Washington D.C. -

It's time - to take the media to the woodshed.

And guess who's going to do it? Right. The same people that have been thronging to the tea parties and townhalls - you.

I'd like to hear someone ask him how he justified voting against defunding the corrupt ACORN organizations after revelation of ACORN offices facilitating child prostitution.
