What a pathetic (rhymes with witch. I don’t judge, but I hope that there is a special place near Satan for this POS. Maybe in front of an eternal firing squad.

Jones has voted with Pelosi against some Iraq War legislation. Yet she wants to alienate Jone on this innocuous matter?

Apparently her few remaining brain cells have lost connection with each other.

This would be perfect for a commercial from an outside group to turn opinion against the Democratic Congress. I’d like to see any Democrat try to explain this away as some sort of procedural violation. Even if it was, a) who would actually put some rule above the sacrifices of our troops, and b) why would such a rule exist in the first place? Since it sounds like it was no violation, it’s even worse. It’s a simple thing, but disgusting nonetheless, and a perfect window into the mind of the Democrats and their Glorious Leader.

A Republican by the name of Dana Walsh. She could use some help and at least, according to this article, money is starting to flow her way.

Here’s a link: http://public.cq.com/docs/cqt/news110-000002922285.html

Mixed feelings here. I suspect this Congressman has his heart in the right place, but so many of these “memorials” are outright lies. The intent is not to honor the fallen but to stir emotion against a war the sponsor opposes.

And to that end, they’ll exaggerate the body count with not combat deaths. Deaths that under any other circumstance they would NOT aknowledge, even though they result from the military being a dangerous ocupation even in peacetime.

All the crosses, boots, coffin and tombstone displays are sponsored by grave robbing ghouls out to steal the goodwill and sympathy offered by a grateful public to the fallen.

It was never meant for those ghouls and it’s not theirs to convert for their cause, especially when their cause is to undermine the country and way of life those troops died to preserve.

Golly, speaking of PUSS. Mr. Jefferson believes he’s figured out where it’s coming from.

*********************

An astute student of history and human nature, Thomas Jefferson, predicted what we see happening here in America. As ambassador in France, he witnessed the run up to the FIRST socialist/communist revolution there. He penned the following observations concerning what would happen HERE should that socialism come to the United States. He CORRECTLY predicted that we would become an increasingly contentious and litigious people as we shouldered one another out of the way to get OURS from the public trough and the trough would soon be empty.

He also knew where the bulk of the problem would originate.

That whirring noise you may hear coming from that mountain in Charlottesville, Virginia is Mr. Jefferson getting up to around 3600 RPM.

(A 6 minute video with this information may be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypLu49pq3bI)

“The mobs of the great cities add just so much to the support of pure government as sores do to the strength of the human body. It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution.” —Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XIX, 1782. ME 2:230

“I think our governments will remain virtuous for many centuries as long as they are chiefly agricultural; and this will be as long as there shall be vacant lands in any part of America. When they get piled upon one another in large cities as in Europe, they will become corrupt as in Europe.” —Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1787. Papers 12:442

“I view great cities as pestilential to the morals, the health and the liberties of man. True, they nourish some of the elegant arts; but the useful ones can thrive elsewhere; and less perfection in the others, with more health, virtue and freedom, would be my choice.” —Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Rush, 1800. ME 10:173

“Our cities... exhibit specimens of London only; our country is a different nation.” —Thomas Jefferson to Andre de Daschkoff, 1809. ME 12:304

“Everyone, by his property or by his satisfactory situation, is interested in the support of law and order. And such men may safely and advantageously reserve to themselves a wholesome control over their public affairs and a degree of freedom which, in the hands of the canaille of the cities of Europe, would be instantly perverted to the demolition and destruction of everything public and private.” —Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1813. ME 13:401

“An insurrection... of science, talents, and courage, against rank and birth... has failed in its first effort, because the mobs of the cities, the instrument used for its accomplishment, debased by ignorance, poverty, and vice, could not be restrained to rational action. But the world will recover from the panic of this first catastrophe.” —Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1813. ME 13:402

“I fear nothing for our liberty from the assaults of force; but I have seen and felt much, and fear more from English books, English prejudices, English manners, and the apes, the dupes, and designs among our professional crafts. When I look around me for security against these seductions, I find it in the wide spread of our agricultural citizens, in their unsophisticated minds, their independence and their power, if called on, to crush the Humists of our cities, and to maintain the principles which severed us from England.” —Thomas Jefferson to Horatio G. Spafford, 1814. ME 14:120

Don’t think there is one. ------------------- Rumor has it that there are a handful of republicans living in San Francisco but that most, if not all, are in hiding. San Francisco city ordinances prohibit public support of the GOP.

Before pushing forward with this, why was Jones' name on the poster? I don't get that.

Maybe there's an agreement not to campignin the corrdors.

The regulation is obviously intended to prevent material from blocking hallways etcetra for wheelchair users and the like, so the poster should not be DQ'd, but maybe there's some other understanding it violates.

Cindy Sheehand would not be a Congressional leader and would be more of an embarassment to the Democrats than Bela Pelosi is.

Did Mrs. Pelosi offer to run her kids over with a car to keep them from going to a war she opposed?

That’s a feature, not a bug.

When was the last time there was an actual brawl on the Senate floor?
