Well, they love speech they agree with a bunch but speech they do not approve of? Well, they just do not care too much for that type of speech. And if they could, well, they would allow the FCC to regulate this blog, and any other blog they do not approve of. Stacy McCain has some details, on the latest in Leftist douchebaggery.

Since we became aware the Joe Sestak was offered a position by the administration in exchange for dropping out of the race against Arlen Specter, there have been calls for impeachment. Small at first, but growing in strength in the past week, these calls can threaten to derail the progress that we have been making. In fact, I would submit that impeaching Obama is a terrible idea. (Mind you, this is assuming that we win enough seats in November to even try.) Impeachment puts Obama on the defense, and that might play to his strengths. I like to keep in...

…and as soon as I sell you the Brooklyn Bridge I‘m going to convince you that the White House did nothing wrong in their dealings with congressman Joe Sestak. The Obama folks put out a story today that stinks worse than unwelcome house guests. The way the White House spins this yarn is to say that Bill Clinton was to speak to Joe at the request of Rahm Emmanuel about a job that paid nothing. To get this great job for nothing all he had to do was “nothing”. Actually he had to drop out of the Senate race in...

Remember this quote from Michelle Obama? “Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zone . . . Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual – uninvolved, uninformed.” She was far more prophetic than she will ever know. Since Obama’s election, millions of Americans have become more informed, and more involved. The Tea Party movement has galvanized millions in calling for smaller, more responsible government....

Okay so now kids can’t wear anything American looking at school because it might offend students of Mexican heritage. If you are no more American than to be offended by the Ole Glory then you are not an American but a Mexican living in America. Really it is that simple. People would like to complicate issues but the more we divide ourselves into racial and national groups the more divided we become. Most official documents in America ask you to choose your race. Choosing race puts you into a group which has the effect of putting up hidden barriers if...

The passage of the Arizona immigration law and recent May Day protests have been weighing heavily on my mind. As a “Latino,” the circumstances of my heritage have no effect on my opinions with respect to this new law, though this may make many liberals very angry. They expect me to vote my skin color and forgo careful analysis. I am glad to disappoint them. As an American, I find this law to be somewhat worrisome. To start, the continual influx of illegal immigrants and the exploitation of our broken borders by international criminal elements may eventually lead to the...

I’m late getting to this, but I had to take a look at some old posts and research a bit. For the quick recap, Lance Baxter, AKA, DC Douglass, the voice over guy for GEICO commercials, was fired from his job when he called Freedom Works and insulted the Tea Party movement. Using the word “retarded” probably didn’t help him out either. That, of course set off a debate on people being punished for speaking out-no matter the reprehensible manner. But, there was something forgotten in all of this. As usual, the left engaged in this same behavior, on a...

In my last post I told people to keep their eye on this financial reform bill. That the recently passed immigration law in Arizona is being used by Democrats as a distraction to avert the public’s attention from what the left hand is doing in Washington DC. Of course I am talking about the financial reform bill that up until today Republicans were engaging in a filibuster to block opening up debate on the Senate floor. They have now decided to end their filibuster and allow debate on the bill to take place. There are many reasons why this bill...

With all of the hysteria and claims of “fascism” surrounding the illegal immigrant bill. I thought that a look at the actual legislation might be in order. I took the legislation from KYETLaw. The site appears to be non-partisan in nature. "B. For any lawful contact made by a law enforcement official or a law enforcement agency of this state or a law enforcement official or a law enforcement agency of a county, city, town or other political subdivision of this state where reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States,...

One of the other school districts that I worked in has a gifted and talented program that I thought would interest some of my readers because it shows how possible and how extensive the liberal agenda can stretch into the government-run schools in our country. In some schools, gifted and talented programs for students may offer increased enrichment opportunities, ask students to take more leadership on important issues, hold seminars to improve critical thinking skills, or include visits to local museums. But in other schools, just the the program that I observed in a local middle school, the gifted and...

Ever try to argue facts and information with a Liberal? Ever come away from the encounter frustrated? Well, there’s a reason for that. Here are some excerpts from an interview with Yuri Bezmenov, a defector from the Soviet Union. "I know that intelligence gathering looks more romantic…. That’s probably why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond types of films. But in reality the main emphasis of the KGB is NOT in the area of intelligence at all. According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and...

For too long, it has been common knowledge in our society that leftist political philosophies contain within them the ingredients for an ideal state of affairs in the world. The perceived “humanism” and liberalism (in the classic sense) of the leftists emerged from the stark contrast between their ideas and that of the “establishment.” History is riddled with examples of how the “establishment” has wronged mankind, held back the spirit of progress, and led to countless atrocities. From religious wars to despotic rule to exploitative capitalism during the Industrial Revolution, the Old Order seemed to keep us all in a...

With all that has happened in the last year and ½ you can be sure that the founding fathers have rolled in their graves. I’ve recently found it useful to suppose what Thomas Jefferson might write if he were alive today. While I cannot pretend to write with the genius he possessed, I can put to paper the spirit of what he would say; or at least my impression of it. The following is my analysis of his words, and what he might say today including his encouragements to us. When Thomas Jefferson wrote that, “experience hath shewn, that mankind...

The political and religious “identity” of Barak Obama is a contentious and much debated topic these days. Claims of, “He’s a Muslim,” and “ he’s a socialist,” abound. The left, as well as the MSM are able to field these claims, and contradict them, at least partially. They are able to do this because he’s neither of these things. Religion: While Obama may have a soft spot for Islam, he sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church for over 20 years. While Wright’s teachings are radical, they are clearly not Islamic. Like the rest of us, the radical wing of Islam would...

It matters not where Barak Obama was born, raised and educated; he is not an American. Perhaps I should say that he, like Michelle, only became proud of America when he was elected. Before that his history is one of consorting with every communist, leftist Educator, and anti-American leftover from the 60s. He spent his time with some of the most divisive minds in this country. So while he lives in America he is not for America. Barry is more concerned what our enemies think that what Americans think. He truly believes he can talk the world to sleep. Honestly,...

In the fall of 2003 my wife and I decide to visit the battlefield at Gettysburg. Being a civil war junkie, it was a must on my to-do list of historic civil war sites to see before I left this world. I must say it turned out to be one of the greatest experiences of my life. We did all the things that tourists do; snapped a few family pictures, visited all the historic museums, and toured the key points of interest on the battlefield. As the day drifted towards sunset we made our last two stops. The first was...

Like many Americans I’m a huge sports fan. I like a number of different sporting events from NASCAR to football. Most team sports are a combination of individual effort and teamwork with a goal of winning. Whether you participate or you’re a spectator, we all tend to get caught up in the games. For a moment in time our troubles seem to lessen as we cheer on our favorite team or player. We experience their successes and failures as if they were our own. Yes that’s right for a moment in time we are distracted from everyday events and all...

“To plan secretly, to move surreptitiously, to foil the enemy’s intentions and balk his schemes, so that at last the day may be won without shedding a drop of blood”- that is how Sun Tzu described how to win in warfare. Further, Sun Tzu wrote this about the Art of War: It is through the dispositions of an army that its condition may be discovered. Conceal your dispositions, and your condition will remain secret, which leads to victory,; show your dispositions, and your condition will become patent, which leads to defeat One of my degrees is in International Relations and...

I was recently thinking about history, as it relates to leaders and great political upheavals, and remembered one defining moment that made crystal clear to me how demagogues attain power. It happened during the 50’s… something called “revolution” in the streets of Cuba, in the mountains, in the fields, everywhere. Cuban freedom-fighters sacrificed life and limb against a corrupt dictatorship, another oft-repeated chapter in Latin American history coming to an end. The story started like so many others in this hemisphere: a popular figure, a coup de’tat, a dictator, brutal repression of political enemies, and a revolution. There were many...

Act III: Escalation, Intimidation, and Provocation The latest threat against the Tea Parties has come from the anarchists, who are reporting that they will disrupt rallies at some point. Here are some comments from Steve (from Motor City Times) at the Resistance. Anarchists are planning to infiltrate Tea Party rally’s in the near future. According to the ultra Liberal Raw Story.com they are going to stage peaceful protest and advocate an increase in food stamp subsidies. Or something along those lines: But is it war the anarchists are planning? Not according to the blog posting that started it all: A...
