A Republican candidate for the District 22 congressional seat will be getting a lot of attention today with a very unique campaign ad. By KTRH's August Skamenca Monday, February 25, 2008
It's yet to be seen just whether it's negative or in his favor.
Now in the private sector, Brian Klock remains a commander in the US Navy Reserve. He's an underdog candidate trying to gain new ground.
Later Monday, his campaign will unveil a billboard on the Southwest Freeway near Fountainview. It shows crosshairs trained on downtown Houston, it explodes into a massive orange glow.
Klock, a 27-year veteran of the intelligence world says it's to demonstrate the city's vulnerability to a terror attack.
"Better a billboard than the real thing...People are aware of what's going on...and they are prepared."
One of Klock's opponents is not so sure.
"The billboard is obviously over the top as far as scare tactics go. Brian is right in that we have not received the appropriate funding."
And that's one of Klock's arguments, that comparatively the area should be garnering more anti-terror money. Something he says he'd fight for, if elected.
Well, shame on this guy for waking up the sleeping sheeple. How dare he!
I wish him well on this decidedly un-PC approach.
Bet if it was a billboard about global warming there would be no protest despite the fact that we’re far more likely to see a nuclear terror attack than GW.

Not according to the liars for Jesus who are helping Algore promote his movie and advance a partisan political agenda (as was so found by a court of law):

The “Reverend” Sir John Houghton, former head of the UK Meteorological Office, Publisher of Al Gore’s book on GW and Former Co-Chair of the IPCC:
“Unless we announce disasters, no one will listen”
“.. human induced global warming is a weapon of mass destruction at least as dangerous as chemical, nuclear or biological weapons that kills more people than terrorism.” ~ John Houghton Monday July 28, 2003

“.. Mr. Cizik said he had a “conversion” on climate change so profound in Oxford that he likened it to an “altar call,” when nonbelievers accept Jesus as their savior. Mr. Cizik recently bought a Toyota Prius, a hybrid vehicle. “ http://www.truthout.org/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi/37/9554

“..Cizik dates his “conversion” to 2002, when evangelical left activist Jim Ball of the “What Would Jesus Drive” anti-SUV campaign “dragged” him to Oxford, England, for a global warming summit featuring scientist and Christian thinker John Houghton. “I had, as John Wesley would say, a ‘warming of my heart,’ Cizik recalls. “A conversion to a cause which I believe every Christian should be committed to.”
After his Oxford conversion, Cizik returned home, sold his gas guzzler, bought a Prius, and renewed his interest in recycling. He notes that evangelicals comprise 40-50 percent of the “Republican base” and Republican politicians, who “have stymied action on climate change, will “have to listen” if evangelicals become as passionate as Cizik is about climate change.
Promoters of The Great Warming are hoping that other evangelicals will have dramatic conversions to the global warming cause.like Cizik. No doubt, many of these new enthusiasts for the planet are full of passionate sincerity. But some seem to see acceptance of disastrous scenarios of global warming, fueled exclusively by human activity, as almost an article of faith, transcending need for logical argument. For them, it has become intrinsically a struggle between noble friends of the earth and wicked allies of the fossil fuels industry. They have adopted climate activism as a new crusade.
Evangelicals are more famous, or notorious, for preaching about the impending End Times. At least that old kind of preaching pointed listeners towards repentance...and God. This new mode of climate revivalism points evangelicals towards a very differently kind of imagined apocalypse, in which the solution is not divine intervention but increased government regulation, reduced standards of living, diminished national sovereignty, and enhanced powers for international bureaucracies. That Old Time Religion now looks more appealing, because it involves God.
