If Joe the Plumber were Jawad the Suspected Terrorist, civil-liberties activists would stampede the halls of Congress on his behalf. Liberal columnists would hyperventilate over the outrageous invasions of his privacy by Ohio state and local employees. The ACLU would demand the Big Brother snoopers’ heads. And Democratic leaders would convene immediate hearings and parade him around the Beltway as the new poster boy/victim of unlawful domestic spying. But because peaceful American citizen Joe Wurzelbacher is an outspoken enemy of socialism, rather than an enemy of America, the defenders of privacy have responded to his plight with an impenetrable cone...

Video of news report and of Barack, or "B", as his supporters call him, is all right HERE.

For some reason, and despite my obvious interest in conflicts between civil liberties and antidiscrimination laws, I haven't gotten around to blogging about the recent pernicious attacks on freedom of expression in Canada, courtesy of provincial "human rights" commissions.(snip)During the Clinton Administration, lawyers at both HUD and the Justice Department--most prominently Deval Patrick*--were at the forefront of trying to blur the distinction between expression and discriminatory actions in the context of housing discrimination law. In particular, the Clinton Administration argued that merely speaking out against plans to locating facilities for the mentally ill or recovering drug addicts in one's neighborhood...

The video is right here. October 20, Colorado. Joe the Plumber stood up to Barack Obama face to face in person (see video on this channel). He asked B.O. about how Obama would tax him. Obama said that he wanted to "spread the wealth" meaning that he, Obama, wants to tax hardworking Americans even more and give their money to those who won't work in a new welfare state. Guess who your money will go to if Barack gets control?

Want a preview of what an Obama Department of Justice would look like? Look no further than Obama for America General Counsel Bob Bauer’s letter to Attorney General Michael Mukasey from last Friday. Bauer wants the Special Prosecutor investigating the U.S. Attorney firings to start investigating John McCain, Sarah Palin, and other Republicans including Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI). Their crime? Calling on our nation’s law enforcement officers to investigate wide spread reports of voter fraud. Bauer writes:As Election Day approaches - just as in 2004 and 2006 - Republican Party officials and operatives nationwide, including...

Video HERE. Please only watch it if you don't mind seeing Chris Matthews COMPLETELY DESTROYED by Republican Representative Michelle Bachmann.

Conservatives and Republicans fear the Democrats will impose the Fairness Doctrine on talk radio if Obama wins in November. While they rightly worry about the Fairness Doctrine, they fail to pay attention to other plans the Democrats have for controlling the media. Under the guise of improving diversity and attention to local affairs, Obama explicity states his goals in a 2007 press release after an FCC hearing in Chicago . Here are a sampling of reports..... "Obama Urges FCC to Reduce Length of TV Station Licenses By Ira Teinowitz of TV Week September 21, 2007 Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama...

Barack Obama is the most left-wing major-party presidential candidate in modern history. The evidence of this is all over his record and his campaign. Yet for a variety of reasons, ranging from terminal frustration with the Bush Administration to swooning over Obama's pop culture cache to buying Obama's and the media's spin that he's really a mainstream figure to the right, not the left, of John Kerry, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis and Howard Dean, we keep encountering moderates, independents, liberal Republicans and even self-identified conservatives who are willing to give Obama a chance in the White House. Even though America...

Apparently Chris Matthews likes harrassing Republican Women. Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin, and Michelle Bachmann. Michelle also was fighting the Corporate Wellfare bailout.

From what I'm hearing, lib rats have raised close to $200K since the airing of yesterday's show with Chris RATthews. There's also a site to censure her. What is this post about? Republican Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann (Minn.) accused Barack Obama Friday of holding “anti-American” sentiments. “I’m very concerned that he may have anti-American views,” Bachmann said on MSNBC’s Hardball. “That’s what the American people are concerned about. “In his book, Barack Obama had pointed to Jeremiah Wright as one of his mentors and also Father Pfleger as one of his mentors. Two of the three mentors are Father Pfleger and...

This change between Chris "He gives me a chill up my leg" Mathews and Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann. She didn't give an inch and she wasn't at all rattled by Mathews.

After Joe the Plumber voiced concern that Barack Obama’s tax policies would stifle the economy, he learned what Kathleen Willey learned during Bill Clinton’s reign in the 1990s: If you accuse a Democrat of wrongdoing or question their policies, you can count on your character being attacked in the mainstream media. You may even face legal charges. The Left is sponsoring a war on truth, and casualties in this war continue to be those brave enough to stand up against corruption and exercise the increasingly “fringe” right of freedom of speech. The right to free speech protected by the First...

The Obama Campaign's "Fight the Smears" is once again caught misrepresenting the facts in its ongoing attempt to whitewash Barack Obama's radical past. The page on Obama and terrorist Bill Ayers is a complete fraud.This is what the Obama Campaign says about Obama kicking his career off in Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn's living room: USA Today: Obama did not launch political career in Ayers’ living room Ayers was one of many who sponsored coffees for Obama in 1995 when he declared for the Illinois Senate. The official campaign launch occurred at the Hyde Park Ramada. Their relationship barely goes...

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A man who was dressed in a squirrel costume was escorted from the Ohio Statehouse steps on Monday morning while Gov. Ted Strickland, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown and Mayor Michael Coleman were discussing negative campaigning by Republicans. The squirrel held up a sign that said, "Don't Let Obama + ACORN Steal Ohio." Strickland, Brown and Coleman stood on the Statehouse steps to call for an end to what they called "lying, deceitful ads" by Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, 10TV's Patrick Bell reported. McCain's campaign accuses ACORN, a community activist group that operates nationwide, of...

With the election two weeks away, one thing has become clear: Barack Obama is not only the most liberal presidential candidate in recent memory, he lacks a moral compass. How else does one explain his sitting in the pews of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s church as Wright spews forth hateful fabrications about America, whites, and Israel? How else explain his being “friendly” with admitted domestic terrorist William Ayers, who told the New York Times he does not rule out engaging in bombings again? In a chilling video on YouTube, Larry Grathwohl, a former member of the Weather Underground which Ayers...

Given large Democratic congressional majorities, President Barack Obama would swerve to the radical left and adopt a temperament similar to his fiery and controversial pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Newt Gingrich predicted Sunday. “If Obama went in and had a moderate House and a moderate Senate, he would probably be a very moderate president,” Gingrich said on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” “And his temperament would lead him to much more like [Chicago Mayor] Richie Daley than like Rev. Wright. He’s not going to have that,” said Gingrich, the former speaker of the House and titular leader of the...

This Election Day could usher in a crushing blow to the American dream. Within hours of meeting Joe the Plumber, Americans from all over the country flooded my inbox with their stories. Joe the Plumber, as so many who watched the final presidential debate of the 2008 election know, is Joe Wurzelbacher, from Holland, Ohio, who wants to buy a small business but knows it’s going to hurt under an Obama administration’s tax plan. Jarringly, when Joe told Obama of his worry during a campaign stop, the Illinois senator said, “It’s not that I want to punish your success, I...

Obama-Biden simply can't tolerate an outspoken citizen successfully painting the Democratic ticket as socialist overlords. And so a dirty, desperate war against Joe Wurzelbacher is on.
