Abuse of Power & Hypocrisy: The True Face of the Liberal Democratic Party

While Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and other Chicken Little Democrats are running around screaming the sky is falling over “Global Warming” and asking the real world to tighten their belts and reduce the use of oil, the HBIC herself is requesting use of her own version of Air Force One to lug her Globe Trotting liposuctioned ass around the world at the expense of American Taxpayers.

It would seem that the Global Warming crowd would want to lead by example, but oh no, not this bunch. Al Gore jumps from point A to point B by use of private jets and ground transportation is usually provided by large gas guzzeling SUV’s, the very same ones that Gore, Pelosi and other Liberal Democrats want to eliminate from what would seem just the private sector. That’s you and me folks.

Some rumors have been floating around that Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) has been using bully tactics against Pentagon officials in trying to see that Madame Pelosi has her Lincoln Bedroom with wings.

C-32

Mission
The C-32 provides safe, comfortable and reliable transportation for our nation's leaders to locations around the world. The primary customers are the vice president, using the distinctive call sign "Air Force Two," the first lady, and members of the Cabinet and Congress.

Features
The C-32 is a specially configured version of the Boeing 757-200 commercial intercontinental airliner. The C-32 body is identical to that of the Boeing 757-200, but has different interior furnishings and 21st century avionics. The passenger cabin is divided into four sections:

-- The forward area has a communications center, galley, lavatory and 10 business class seats.
-- The second section is a fully enclosed stateroom for the use of the primary passenger. It includes a changing area, private lavatory, separate entertainment system, two first-class swivel seats and a convertible divan that seats three and folds out to a bed.
-- The third section contains the conference and staff facility with eight business class seats.
-- The rear section of the cabin contains general seating with 32 business-class seats, galley, two lavatories and closets.

Because the C-32 is a high-standing aircraft, it is easier to see under and around it -- an important security factor for protecting the plane and its passengers.

The C-32 is more fuel efficient and has improved capabilities over its C-137 predecessor. It can travel twice the distance on the same amount of fuel, and operate on shorter runways down to 5,000 feet (1,524 meters) in length. Its 92,000-pound (41,731 kilogram) fuel capacity allows the aircraft to travel 5,500 nautical miles unrefueled.

Heading the safety equipment list is the Traffic Collision Avoidance System and Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System that gives advance warning of possible air and ground threats. Weather systems are enhanced with a Predictive Windshear Warning System. Other items include the future air navigation system with Global Positioning System and Flight Management System/Electronic Flight Instrument System.

Inside the C-32, communications are paramount. The vice president, heads of state and other decision-makers can conduct business anywhere around the world using improved telephones, satellites, television monitors, facsimiles and copy machines. The C-32 has state-of-the-art avionics equipment.

Background
The C-32 is a military version of the Boeing 757-200 extended range aircraft, selected along with the C-37A to replace the aging fleet of C-137 aircraft. Active-duty aircrews from the 1st Airlift Squadron, 89th Airlift Wing at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., fly the aircraft.

The contract was awarded for the C-32 in August 1996. By using commercial off-the-shelf acquisition practices, a new record has been set from contract award to aircraft delivery -- less than two years. The C-32 is the first military aircraft ever to be acquired in this manner. The 89th Airlift Wing acquired the first of four aircraft in late June 1998.

January 2006

That is a good idea.

I was just re-reading the book Hillary's Secret War which details the attacks on conservatives and the internet conservative web site owners especially during the 90's by the Clinton machine. IRS audits, death threats...it's fascinating and FR is mentioned prominently.

Anyway, David Horowitz was the subject of the Clinton machine and as a former leftist, he knows what makes them tick and where to hurt them.

He says the left learned from Stalin to dehumanize their opponents and then go in for the kill and that Republicans are too polite. And that we should use homor and make fun of them whenever we can and you just pointed out a perfect example of how we could and should be doing that.

If you know any bloggers, you should post your suggestion to them.
