Pelosi censors poster of troops

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-S.F., has done something worse than commit a crime against the First Amendment. The speaker's censorship of nonobtrusive posters featuring men and women who gave that last full measure of devotion in service to their country is a blunder that could alienate 23 million veterans and their families from the Democratic Party. If she is endowed with a crumb of constitutional or political sense, she will reverse course.
The tale of Pelosi's folly begins with Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C. He wished to pay tribute to the service members of Camp Lejeune who had been killed in Iraq or Afghanistan. Accordingly, Walter placed a poster flat against the wall in the corridor outside his office showing their names and pictures.

Pelosi only wants pictures of dead soldiers shown.
The most telling line in the article...JFK
This just goes to prove that, for Nine-percent Nan, it really IS all about the “0” (percent, that is).
Same here! These people are anti-American, anti-God, anti-troops, anti-everything we hold dear in this country. Get rid of them in the next elections.
Ping.
I loved that book, have read all John Grisham’s books.
Pelosi is supporting Texas dem, Chet Edwards for VP.
She doesn’t want any reminders of our Military around..

A good movie too with Julia Roberts
“Conspiracy Theory” with Julia Roberts and Mel Gibson was also a good movie
bfl
My brother, who used to live in SF relays this story;
He and his wife move to SF and he registers to vote, checking the "Republican" box for party affiliation. He mails in the card and waits for his Voter Reg card.
After two weeks, nothing arrives, so he registers again. Again, no Voter Reg card.
A third time he registers as a Republican - a third time, no card.
Then he registers as a Democrat . . . . . . his card arrives in five days.
They are some of my favorites!! Seldom watch anything anymore.
So, what did she do?
Why didn’t you post that part?
Don’t let Walter B. Jones fool you.
He’s the spawn of a democrat’s loins.
The cretin wants to enact legislation to allow journalists access to our fallen:

This is a very accurate description of the Repubocrat in wolf’s clothing.

Don’t be fooled by this ploy.
NOTHING is allowed in the hallways.
Look at what Jones is really about (above).

I often crank up the amp for surround sound stereo speakers and hit “MUTE” on my big TV on Optimum Cable so the text appears onscreen too
All that and captioning too, lol.
You do multi task!
Pelosi is not worried what 23 million voters do. She is entrenched in the peoples republic of SF and can do whatever she wants. The best we can do is to defeat as many dems as we can and keep the publicity heat on her nonsense.
[NOTHING is allowed in the hallways.]
Yes, I actually thought of that when I was writing earlier. If one ‘good’ poster were allowed, dozens of really horrible ones would follow.
