Liberals Spamming Fox Advertisers?

What the wacko left, the driving and financing force for the Democrat party, is up to. Forget about why most republican candidates don’t wish to participate in a uTube sponsored debate, with snowmen and other stunts. It’s a better reason not to participate than to have to answer questions from Britt Hume and Chris Wallace, which the left is given a pass for. Oh but that’s not all.

MoveOn.org, the Campaign for America’s Future and liberal blogs like DailyKos.com are asking thousands of supporters to monitor who is advertising on the network. Once a database is gathered, an organized phone-calling campaign will begin, said Jim Gilliam, vice president of media strategy for Brave New Films, a company that has made anti-Fox videos.

The groups have successfully pressured Democratic presidential candidates not to appear at any debate sponsored by Fox, and are also trying to get Home Depot Inc. to stop advertising there.

It’s spam. Political hack spam, that no Democrat wannabe will denounce. They all will probably like the idea and call it free speech and being patriotic. When actually it is an attempt to squelch speech and being idiotic.

Democrats On Message With Obstruction Of Judiciary

Feeling pumped with less than two years left of the Bush administration, Sen. Charles Schumer holds the line on their shadow legislature, the Supreme Court. Schumer declares that Democrats won’t approve another Bush nominee for the Supreme Court. Saying approving Alito was a mistake.

Schumer voted against confirming Roberts and Alito. In Friday’s speech, he said his greatest regret in the last Congress was not doing more to scuttle Alito.

Can’t you just feel the love of working together?

We cannot afford to see Justice Stevens replaced by another Roberts, or Justice Ginsburg by another Alito.

They can’t afford? Do you see the arrogance of all of this? That’s democrat-speak for we have to get our shadow legislature back if we have any expectations to subvert the will of the people again.

You have to respect these Democrats for one thing. They do stay focused on their goal. And it has nothing to do with their constitutional responsibilities. We can add ‘obstruct’ to the list of goals. It’s now subpoena, surrender, censor, and obstruct. The administration, the war, talk radio, and the judiciary.

Broad Support For Homeland Security Bill, Without Big Labor

With the House voting 371 to 40 and the Senate 85 to 8, Congress approves the Homeland Security Bill. It is good that Congress actually passed something worthwhile, and all in one day. The reason it passed is for what was taken out of it. The unionizing of federal airport screeners.

At the threat of a veto from Bush, a provision by Democrats that would have extended union protection to 45,000 federal airport screeners was taken out. Whether or not airport screeners are union is of no concern to our security. It is just Democrats doing quid pro quo for their largest donor, big labor. Pretty much just politicizing an important bill.

Open Letter To Sam Hall

Sorry to hear that you have become THE news item of the day. And even longer. No doubt the traffic on the blog has increased a bit. 🙂

If you’re like me, you don’t worry about things that you have no control over, so for me to say “don’t let it worry you” would not be necessary. You are on the right side of this issue from where I sit.

The whole brew ha ha in the media, with the parade of city managers, people with titles, subordinates of the city manager, does nothing if not justify your position and that of the good people in District 2. It is a win win. It’s a win from your position in the first place because you were honestly representing your constituents. And, it is validated by the fact that your opponents in this ‘mountain out of a molehill’ story seem to focus all their efforts attacking you while ignoring the problem. This sounds familiar.

To atone, I’d like to see a second parade of these same officials back in front of the camera for the sole purpose of addressing the concerns of the citizens with not a word about you. But I wouldn’t hold my breath for that to happen.
Best regards,
Ross Calloway

City Manager Shoots The Messenger

Here’s some local humor that has the shorts of Pensacola City Manager Tom Bonfield and some of his employees in a bunch. Bonfield says city councilman Sam Hall is uninformed. By all means, inform us.

Question: “What is white, shaded and sleeps three?”

Answer: “A city truck.”

Bonfield is perfectly entitled to disagree with Hall or anyone else on anything. Whining about it to the mayor and city council reveals a lot about him.

Muslim Doctor Speaks Up

A ‘viewpoint‘ piece in today’s Pensacola News Journal is from a Muslim doctor practicing in the area. Dr. Mohammad Yunus has taken the lead in speaking out against the terrorists that murder to advance their version of Islam. The same Islamofascists we are at war with.

I am experiencing the emotions I often do in hearing that people associated with my faith are involved: incredulity, anger and outrage that once again these heinous acts are associated with people professing to be Muslims. Such people can never represent Islam, which stands for peace and justice for all.

Finally! It is good news that needs to be seen. Question is, will it?

Labor Union Uses The Homeless

You know the internal support for unions in general is waning when they have to go out and gather up enough homeless people to form a picket line. If the union members don’t care enough to picket, or can’t afford to picket for themselves, it cheapens the cause. What’s the cause you ask? The carpenter’s union wants more money.

They’re hired feet, or, as the union calls them, temporary workers, paid $8 an hour to picket. Many were recruited from homeless shelters or transitional houses. Several have recently been released from prison. Others are between jobs.

For the rest of the hilarious story see Outsourcing the Picket Line.

Al-Qaeda Having Problems In Iraq

Eh, it’s just evidence of progress in the war directly related to the ‘surge’ strategy. The Iraqis helping al-Qaeda are now turning on them in the face of the surge and their barbarity.

“They are turning. We are talking to people who we believe have worked for al-Qaeda in Iraq and want to reconcile and have peace,” said Colonel Ricky Gibbs, commander of the 4th Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, which oversees the area.

he reporter on the ground in Doura, Iraq, characterizes it as a rebellion in the ranks. It’s a good thing. It is the kind of progress that leads to security, that leads to the kind of political solutions we’re all looking for.

It’s all good news for the country, Democrats excepted. It’s not good news for them, which is the reason they declared the surge a failure two weeks ago and just two weeks into the mission. They don’t want to even give it a chance to succeed. In this war, the Democrats are invested in defeat. Don’t hold your breath expecting to see this on your network news or major newspapers.  Does not fit the template.  And worse, it will contradict what the left is saying.

Hugo Chaves’ Version Of The ‘Fairness Doctrine’

The President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, answered critics of his government who say he is “becoming increasingly authoritarian and cracking down on dissent” by saying that foreigners who publicly criticize him or his government while visiting Venezuela will be expelled from the country.

“How long are we going to allow a person — from any country in the world — to come to our own house to say there’s a dictatorship here, that the president is a tyrant, and nobody does anything about it?” Chavez asked during his weekly television and radio program.

Sounds eerily familiar doesn’t it? Proponents of the Fairness Doctrine appear to have a lot in common with the hemisphere’s idiot.
