Again, Obamas brownshirts stifle free speech

They felt real bold taking on an 80 year old woman. The were real stupid to do it right in front of a live news broadcast. What is even more amazing is that these are the people that voted for Obama.

What is hilarious is that its these same people who caused their own doom by pushing so hard for everyone to vote.

What I find ironic is that they should be protesting in the black and hispanic neighberhoods, because they are the ones...not white Christian conservatives...that made the defeat possible.

A little pepper spray from granny would have been a grand thing in a situation like this.

And then the ending comment by the newscaster...hate on both sides...yeah right, I saw nothing even resembling hate coming from granny.

Heil Obamasiah

Stop The ACLU says it succintly................

Congratulations, moonbats. You finally have your revenge for being forced to look at all those flags after 9/11. This is a day of celebration for everyone hostile to America and the principles of individual liberty for which it stands. Enjoy it while you can.

There are people lowdown enough to know in advance who and what was elected yesterday, and to have voted for the Moonbat Messiah anyway. What they have done to this country is beyond forgiveness.

But an ultra-radical leftist like Obama could not be elected in a center-right country, or even a center-left country, without a great deal of deception. Thanks to a radicalized liberal media willing to sacrifice its own long-term credibility to put a leftist in power, Obama was never publicly vetted. Moderates did not vote for a real person, but for a two-dimensional phantom temporarily conjured into being by hype.

Another Left Wing blog exposed for the lies

I was perusing the moonbats

Always an adventure in lies and misleading.

So I checked out this guy, "Thinking Meat", more affectionately known to his readers as MEATHEAD .. a reference to the socialist liberal in the 1970's TV series All In The Family

He is one of those guys who likes to make believe that he is an educated liberal, when in fact he is a lying sack of dog doo who believes his own lies so much that he will argue when he is proven wrong.

He really has NO SUBSTANCE on his blog, not an orginal thought is to be found ANYWHERE in his musings, instead what you will find is a HATE FILLED imaginary smack down of conservative blogs.


His latest attempt to hide the truth comes in this form:

"Poor gullible Amy Proctor has been taken in by yet another wingnut attack on Barack Obama:"

"So, no “flagophobia” there. And as far as “egomania” is concerned, take a gander at the tail of McCain’s campaign plane:"

Anyway, look at the article he wrote

He posts this pic of Obamas plane:



And then this pic of McCains plane:



And then makes the claim that McCain has no flag on his plane.

Um

Excuse me?



So there it is, one lie handily defeated, but its Meathead that has been defeated, not Amy Proctor. Nuff said?

And while we are at it, lets take a closer look at Obamas plane, shall we?



Notice how Obamas plane is a 757 while McCains is a 737 .. wonder whose carbon footprint is larger?

Huh...it continues to amaze me just how stinking hypocritical the left is.

Conservative VS Liberal

I was perusing blogs this morning and ran across this:

Liberals are meaner, cheaper, more willing to steal than Conservatives

Posted on August 16, 2008

-By Warner Todd Huston

Peter Schweizer, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, has a new book out that is sure to drive the loony left, well, even loonier. In the new book Makers and Takers, Schweizer tells us “why conservatives work harder, feel happier, have closer families, take fewer drugs, give more generously, value honesty more, are less materialistic” than lefties in America.

This from his website:

* Seventy-one percent of conservatives say you have an obligation to care for a seriously injured spouse or parent versus less than half (46 percent) of liberals.
* Conservatives have a better work ethic and are much less likely to call in sick than their liberal counterparts.
* Liberals are 2_ times more likely to be resentful of others’ success and 50 percent more likely to be jealous of other people’s good luck.
* Liberals are 2 times more likely to say it is okay to cheat the government out of welfare money you don’t deserve.
* Conservatives are more likely than liberals to hug their children and “significantly more likely” to display positive nurturing emotions.
* Liberals are less trusting of family members and much less likely to stay in touch with their parents.
* Do you get satisfaction from putting someone else’s happiness ahead of your own? Fifty-five percent of conservatives said yes versus only 20 percent of liberals.
* Rush Limbaugh, Ronald Reagan, Bill O’Reilly and Dick Cheney have given large sums of money to people in need, while Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Michael Moore, and Al Gore have not.
* Those who are “very liberal” are 3 times more likely than conservatives to throw things when they get angry.

Interesting stuff

New site now tops my favorites

Sorry FreedomFolks...love ya guys

While perusing over at StoptheACLU, I found a post pointing me to a new blog called peacethugs In it you will find all sorts of fun stuff exposing groups such as Code Pink, Moveon.org and other silly leftist "peace" organisations.

Ever wonder why we laugh at calling themselves "Peace" organisations?

Read the blog and watch the vids.

Seriously, this kind of stuff just writes itself.

Ok...so this is old .. But

I was reading The Drudge Report today and ran across a link to a video on a student protest somewhere over something or other (Ok, my brain is fried from work today, sue me)

That led me to start researching videos on youtube and found an interesting one that I want you to look at, then I look at my comments:



Ok, this CAREFULLY edited video shows students doing their "civic duty" in protesting the war by walking out on classes and having a good old fashioned loving sit in. And in this video, they are up in front of the school board WHINING because they will get suspended or expelled.

I want to focus on one particular speaker who got my attention. Her speech begins at time mark 4:32 and continues through to the end. Lets take a look at some of what she had to say, shall we?

"On November 1st he and his classmates had the courage and valor to stand up for something they believe in"

Good on them!

"They see their families suffering from a recession that is affecting everyone"

Um Excuse me? I am not suffering from a recession. How many of you are?

"They took a peaceful demonstration by singing Kumbiyah (SP?) Give peace a chance, and we shall overcome"

Kudos to them, but hasnt anyone told them that its not original? Where did they learn all this? Wait for it...its coming.

"The actions of the board is criminalising youth. You are misleading when you say they were given opportunities and not taking those opportunities to leave. We have several witnesses and affidavits that assert that fact. We have adults and certain people at your school who say that they did. They moved their demonstration from outside when they were assured by your administration that they would not have any consequences if they did so. And they complied."

Ah, good for them, they complied. But lets just gloss over the fact that they left school when they knew they were not supposed to (This part goes without saying, you know?)....Lets continue, shall we?

"Preferential treatment, is not the American way"

No ... it isnt the moral way, but guess what toots...it happens, and there is nothing you can do about. However, I refer you to our Declaration of Independence, you know that little document that you so convieniently forget about which is a guarantee from our government? It says that ALL MEN ARE CREATED Equal.....What exactly is she saying here? WAIT FOR IT, ITS COMING!!

"These kids model in the great peaceful manner of such people as Martin Luther King, Cesar Chaves and (unintelligible due to applause)"

Thats great...just great! But I am sorry, when did these people ever model that high school students should walk off campus to protest something? She implies earlier in the video that the children have rights and they dont feel like they do. Yes, they have rights....They can protest all their little hearts desire...OFF OF SCHOOL CAMPUS AND AFTER SCHOOL HOURS. During school hours, they are expected to be in class, like the law says they must be. But why is she bringing up these great leaders of reform? WAIT FOR IT....

"I say this because I am an educator myself. And I work in politics and community activism"

UH OH .. there it is. She is just another left wing educator who is behind students who flaunt rules, good common sense and moral decency in defying the law and walking out of class and off campus into a demonstration. KNOWING FULL WELL THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES FOR THOSE ACTIONS!

Sorry, if you protest ... and you know its against the law ... before you do it ... then dont cry when there are consequences for your actions. Martin Luther King and Cesar Chaves KNOWINGLY faced arrest and harassment for their actions, and they didnt cry when it happened to them. I have no sympathy for them except that they have listless parents who are teaching them to break the law.

The only injustice in this video is that the parents of the students werent arrested.

Bush Derangement Syndrome worms its way into Bhutto assasination

What the feck?

Someone had to find a way to blame Bush, didnt take them long did it?

From Yahoo News:

Where Bhutto's Death Leaves the U.S.



By MARK THOMPSON AND BRIAN BENNETT/WASHINGTON 1 hour, 35 minutes ago

The weeks to come will determine just how severe a blow Benazir Bhutto's death is to Pakistan, but debate over Washington's role in the run up to this tragic day will continue well beyond that. Even as the smoke still lingered in Rawalpindi, President Bush demanded that those responsible for Bhutto's death be caught and punished. "The United States strongly condemns this cowardly act by murderous extremists who are trying to undermine Pakistan's democracy," Bush told reporters in Crawford, Texas, where he had arrived Wednesday to begin a long New Year's holiday. "Those who committed this crime must be brought to justice."

But there are some who think the Bush Administration is not without blame. Hussain Haqqani, a former top aide to Bhutto and now a professor at Boston University, thinks the U.S., which has counted Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf as a key ally against terrorism since 9/11, bears some of the responsibility. "Washington will have to answer a lot of questions, especially the Administration," he says. "People like me have been making specific requests to American officials to intervene and ask for particular security arrangements be made for her, and they have been constantly just trusting the Musharraf Administration." U.S. officials said they were leery of intervening in another nation's internal affairs, and didn't want to give Bhutto Washington's imprimatur.

Haqqani is not shy about pointing fingers. He blames Musharraf himself, above all, for Bhutto's death. "It's quite clear that Musharraf does not want an election - you can quote me - he is the one who has constantly wanted anybody who can threaten him or his power, out." Haqqani told Congress in October that U.S. aid for Pakistan has for too long been tilted toward the Pakistani military. "Since 1954 almost $21 billion had been given to Pakistan in aid," he told the House Armed Services Committee. "Of this, $17.7 billion were given under military rule, and only $3.4 billion was given to Pakistan and the civilian government."

It is Musharraf's iron grip on power that has made Washington's own policy toward Pakistan such a target of criticism. While Washington has publicly extolled the virtues of democracy and hoped that Bhutto's return to Pakistan in October would usher in a power-sharing deal with Musharraf, it was also clearly nervous about the instability if the country's strong man were to lose power entirely. Pakistan - the world's second-most-populous Muslim nation, with elements of al-Qaeda and the Taliban controlling lawless mountainous pockets in the northwest - is also the only Islamic state with a nuclear arsenal. And though Washington publicly says Pakistan's nuclear weapons are safe, there are always private concerns about their security, concerns that will only heighten in the wake of Bhutto's assassination.

The U.S. has few options in Pakistan. One thing is clear, says Peter Galbraith, senior fellow at the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation: It is "not a good idea to have 70 nuclear weapons in the hands of a country that is falling apart." Some observers believe that U.S. policy in Pakistan has favored personalities over principles. "We have a bad habit of always personalizing our foreign policy," says P.J. Crowley, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. "We've done it with Musharraf, and we did it with respect to Bhutto. We are very good at providing technical support to the Pakistani army. We are not good at building indigenous or effective local political processes or strong institutions of government." Given the realities on the ground, the U.S. is likely to continue to throw its support behind Musharraf. "In terms of political leadership, Pakistan does not have a deep bench," says Crowley.

Some will say Bhutto had a death wish; one U.S. official even termed her presence at large-scale campaign rallies "foolhardy", given the Karachi suicide bombing that killed more than 140 people on October 18, the day she returned from exile. She returned to Pakistan and faced a range of powerful anti-democratic enemies, including both religious extremists like al-Qaeda and corrupt branches of the Pakistani military and intelligence services. "When you have the criminal and corrupt in the same camp it makes for dangerous bedfellows," says Arsalan Iftikhar, contributing editor to Islamica magazine. "In a sense Benazir knew she was on a martyrdom mission. She was willing to give up her life for democracy."

Senator Joseph Biden, the Delaware Democratic and presidential candidate, echoed Haqqani's view that Musharraf, at a minimum, didn't provide Bhutto with adequate security. In fact, he twice urged the Pakistani President to bolster Bhutto's protection. "The failure to protect Ms. Bhutto raises a lot of hard questions for the government and security services that must be answered," said Biden, who is also chairman of the foreign relations committee. "The U.S. should offer any assistance necessary, including investigative teams, to get to the bottom of this horror."

Still, the former top U.S. military commander in that part of the world said it's wrong to blame Musharraf, or the U.S. "I think it is al-Qaeda - they're the only ones who gain from this," says Anthony Zinni, a retired four-star Marine general who served as chief of the U.S. Central Command - responsible for Pakistan - from 1997 to 2000. Zinni rattled off reasons for al-Qaeda's wanting Bhutto dead, including her commitment to democracy, her secular views, the blowback it will create for Musharraf, and her gender. Beyond that, Zinni says al-Qaeda - making marginal progress in Afghanistan, backsliding in Iraq, and rebuffed in Somalia - is looking for a new battlefield. "I really think they're trying to ignite Pakistan into the kind of chaos they need to survive," Zinni says, "and create a fundamentalist, even radical, Islamic government." "This is one of the worst things that could happen to Musharraf," he continues. "In part, because he'll be accused of doing it."

Zinni also disputes the idea that Washington could have done anything to prevent the assassination. "You want Blackwater out there providing security for her?" he asked, referring to the controversial U.S. private-security firm implicated in the deaths of many Iraqi civilians. "The losing of Pakistan - to whatever degree we've lost it, and I wouldn't write it off yet - goes back to after the first Afghan war," Zinni says, when Washington neglected the Afghan-Pakistan border roiling with insurgents. "We put them in a bad situation that we helped create," Zinni says. "I'm no fan of this Administration, but you can't criticize this Administration for what they inherited."

Ok, so since when is the safety and security of leaders of countries the responsibility of the United States and NOT the government of that country?

For years we have been hearing cries to stay out of middle east policy, now we hear that we need to intervene at such a micro level as to manage the security for leaders?


I wont even go into to who was President after the first Afghan war but suffice to say that we didnt invent this situation, it was created by another country altogether.

Bush derangement syndrome...seriously, it should be listed as a mental health issue

Vote to Kill ‘Fairness Doctrine’ Forever Could Come up Today
by Warner Todd Huston @ 1:31 pm. Filed under 1st Amendment, News

n an effort to kill it forever, Representative Mike Pence (R-Ind.) is attempting to force a vote on the floor of the House today over the future of the so-called “Fairness Doctrine.” Pence already secured passage of the “Free Flow of Information Act” to protect the press and is now launching an effort to nix the ability of the executive branch from re-instituting the woefully unfair “Fairness Doctrine,” a relic from the 1980s that deserves to remain dead and buried.

Using a somewhat arcane House rule called a “discharge Petition,” Pence and Representative Greg Walden (R- Ore.) are attempting to defy the House majority and force a vote on the measure. A “discharge petition” would need the support of 218 members of the House to force a vote and Pence already has 201names pledged to support him. He needs only 17 Democrats to join the effort and Pence can defeat the efforts of Nancy Pelosi to block the attempt.

Here is your cue. If you are in a district that sent a Democrat to the House of Representatives, call him immediately and ask him to support Mike Pence’s measure. If he can get this measure passed, we can prevent a future Democrat president from re-instituting the “Fairness Doctrine” by using his power to appoint left leaning FCC commissioners who will be compliant enough to reinstate this failed doctrine of the past. If Pence is successful, we can at least stop this newest attempt by the left to secure left leaning media bias and quash conservative voices in the media.

As Robert Bluey of the Heritage Foundation wrote on his Bluey Blog today:

The return of the Fairness Doctrine would be dreadful for broadcasters, many of whom have conservative viewpoints, Pence told a group of conservative bloggers at the Heritage Foundation yesterday. He said many political commentators would quit rather than keep talking because of the paperwork and legal issues that are likely to result.

Not only that but what station owner would go to all the Herculean efforts to include all voices in the political spectrum every single broadcast? Surely station owners would just assume not have any political commentary at all rather than bend over backwards, lose money, and give their hosts short shrift to satisfy this backwards and oppressive FCC rule?

Bluey continues:

Pence, himself a former radio-show host, was confident yet realistic about his chances of finding the votes. “I don’t think freedom is a partisan issue in the House of Representatives,” he said. He noted that 113 Democrats voted for a similar measure this summer that prevented the FCC from restoring the Fairness Doctrine for one year. Making that ban permanent won’t be as easy.

Folks, we have a chance to kill this abomination against free speech. I urge you folks with Democrat Representatives to call your House member ASAP.

A Threat to the Internet

By Rep. John Boehner : BIO| 12 Oct 2007

In our rapidly changing global marketplace, America's entrepreneurs, innovators, and workers are striving to remain competitive, and Republicans in Congress have consistently focused on keeping the Internet free from taxation, cutting taxes so entrepreneurs will have a greater incentive to put more money into growing their businesses, and removing regulatory obstacles to competition. The result has been an improving standard of living, millions of additional private sector jobs, and new products, services, and industries that enrich our lives every day.


Since taking the Majority in the U.S. House, by contrast, Democrats have promoted what they call their "Innovation Agenda." In reality, this agenda amounts to little more than a litany of recycled federal initiatives, proving once again that congressional Democrats believe the ideas which trigger innovation and economic growth come to life in Washington, D.C. and not in the free market.


Curiously missing from the Democrats' Innovation Agenda is a measure to make permanent the ban on Internet taxes. Their deafening silence on the issue is especially noteworthy because the ban - first put in place by a Republican Congress in 1998 - is set to expire in mere weeks, on November 1. Few people would argue with the fact that the Internet is driving economic growth in ways we couldn't have imagined 20 years ago. And, at the same time, few people fail to see its potential for driving new economic growth in the future. In fact, the Internet could be viewed as the "hub" of innovation in the 21st Century; there's simply no telling what new doors it could open for students, workers, and consumers in the future.


So, why would we even consider levying onerous taxes upon it? In my view, there's no quicker way to reverse the Internet's incredibly strong and positive impact on our economy than to force consumers and business owners to pay even more to access and make purchases over it.


But that's just what could happen if the ban ever expired: states and localities would have free-rein to tax the web. And that's why, on a number of occasions over the past decade, the Republican-led House passed legislation to make this ban permanent. Unfortunately, our efforts were consistently thwarted by the Senate, leading us to pass a temporary moratorium, which - as I noted - will expire in a matter of weeks. To keep Congress from having to punt on the tax ban once again, House Republican leaders have called on Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) to follow the Republican House's lead and schedule a permanent Internet tax ban for a vote. To date, all they have done is advanced a temporary extension of the ban in the Judiciary Committee - ignoring our request to schedule a House vote on a permanent ban.


The Democratic leadership's refusal to schedule a vote on a permanent Internet tax ban is particularly puzzling given their afore-mentioned Innovation Agenda. One of the core goals of that agenda, for example, is the "nationwide deployment of high speed, always-on broadband Internet and mobile communications." A copy of the agenda - publicly available on Speaker Pelosi's website - affirms, "Just as railroads and highways did in the past, broadband and mobile communications will dramatically increase the productivity and efficiency of our economy in the future and bring more Americans into an online global community and marketplace."


I happen to agree. Yet I also happen to believe that the productivity and efficiency of our economy would be stalled significantly if Internet access and purchases were taxed. And that's precisely why the ban must be made permanent.


The Democrats' agenda further states, "Small businesses are the catalysts for technological innovation... Yet small businesses face significant hurdles, both regulatory and marketbased, that thwart the effort to transform ideas into jobs. Removing these hurdles is a key component of this Innovation Agenda."


Once again, I happen to agree. Yet I also happen to believe that taxing the Internet would be a severe blow to small business owners and their employees. But don't just take my word for it. Democratic Chairwoman of the House Small Business Committee, Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), recently acknowledged that the tax hike would saddle small businesses with a 15 to 30 percent increase in their Internet bills. Once again, that's precisely why the ban must be made permanent.


So why are Democratic leaders dragging their feet on legislation to protect small businesses and other Internet users from a massive tax hike? For the answer, one needs to look no further than the record they've assembled on taxes all year long. Democratic tax hike proposals so far this year include: the now-infamous $150 billion "war surtax" proposal; federal gas tax hikes to pay for Democratic energy legislation and infrastructure; and a massive $392.5 billion tax increase on middle-class families in their very first budget proposed in the Majority. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Democrats also are preparing for battle over the alternative minimum tax - a particularly perverse tax swamping more and more middle-income families that Republicans want to eliminate and Democrats want to preserve.


Al Gore didn't create the Internet, but the leaders of his party have proven themselves eminently capable of taxing it. By refusing to make the Internet tax ban permanent, the Democratic leadership is playing an irresponsible game of chicken with American consumers and our nation's economy. As November 1 draws closer, Democrats face a choice: will they protect millions of consumers and small businesses from a massive, abrupt tax increase, or will they add to their ever-growing list of tax hikes and undermine the very same innovation they claim to be promoting on Capitol Hill?

Hillary Clinton's amended family tree

Judy Barnes, a professional genealogical researcher, discovered that Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, a fellow lacking in character, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana.

He was hanged in 1889. The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows.

On the back of the picture is this inscription: "Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1883, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889,"

Judy e-mailed Hillary Clinton @ NY.Gov for comments.Hillary's staff of 20 professional image adjusters cropped Remus' picture, scanned it, enlarged the image, and edited it with image processing software, so that all that's seen is a head shot. The accompanying biographical sketch read as follows:

"Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory.

His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889,
Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when
the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."

(And that's how it's done, folks.)

Carter Blasts Bush on His Global Impact

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Former President Carter says President Bush's administration is "the worst in history" in international relations, taking aim at the White House's policy of pre-emptive war and its Middle East diplomacy.

Sure there peanut boy.....Remember your mishandling of Iran? Ahem

The criticism from Carter, which a biographer says is unprecedented for the 39th president, also took aim at Bush's environmental policies and the administration's "quite disturbing" faith-based initiative funding.

What is disturbing there peanut boy is your handling of anything and everything during your administration. Lets talk about your failed attempts at negotiating the hostage release...lets talk about your brother the alcoholic thief. And DONT EVEN get me started on your inability to form a coherent sentence to save your life.

"I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history," Carter told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in a story that appeared in the newspaper's Saturday editions. "The overt reversal of America's basic values as expressed by previous administrations, including those of George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon and others, has been the most disturbing to me."

Come on Carter....you have GOT to be kidding me...right? Worst in history? Look in the mirror you fool

Carter spokeswoman Deanna Congileo confirmed his comments to The Associated Press on Saturday and declined to elaborate. He spoke while promoting his new audiobook series, "Sunday Mornings in Plains," a collection of weekly Bible lessons from his hometown of Plains, Ga.

"Apparently, Sunday mornings in Plains for former President Carter includes hurling reckless accusations at your fellow man," said Amber Wilkerson, Republican National Committee spokeswoman. She said it was hard to take Carter seriously because he also "challenged Ronald Reagan's strategy for the Cold War."

Well now, that is very christianly of you isnt it Peanut boy? Hurling accusations? Lets talk biblical here you fool. Funny how some Christians forget the teachings of Jesus in the New testament:

Matthew 7
Judging Others
1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

6"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.

Sorry folks, I call em as I see em

Carter came down hard on the Iraq war.

"We now have endorsed the concept of pre-emptive war where we go to war with another nation militarily, even though our own security is not directly threatened, if we want to change the regime there or if we fear that some time in the future our security might be endangered," he said. "But that's been a radical departure from all previous administration policies."

Pardon me while I roll on the floor laughing in hysterics. Did he forget his funding of the regime change in Iran which led to the hostage situation? How convienient that a democrap will re-write history to suit his own purpose.

Carter, who won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, criticized Bush for having "zero peace talks" in Israel. Carter also said the administration "abandoned or directly refuted" every negotiated nuclear arms agreement, as well as environmental efforts by other presidents.

Ahem...yeah right

Carter also offered a harsh assessment for the White House's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, which helped religious charities receive $2.15 billion in federal grants in fiscal year 2005 alone.

Um, excuse me, does he not do work for habitat for humanity? How much money did you allow to get to religious charities when you were in office you dunce?

"The policy from the White House has been to allocate funds to religious institutions, even those that channel those funds exclusively to their own particular group of believers in a particular religion," Carter said. "As a traditional Baptist, I've always believed in separation of church and state and honored that premise when I was president, and so have all other presidents, I might say, except this one."

Me thinks this is easily refuted....anyone wanna take a stab?

Douglas Brinkley, a Tulane University presidential historian and Carter biographer, described Carter's comments as unprecedented.

"This is the most forceful denunciation President Carter has ever made about an American president," Brinkley said. "When you call somebody the worst president, that's volatile. Those are fighting words."

Here is an idea for a pay per view event....Bush and Carter with gloves on in a boxing rink....man I would pay BANK to see that...betcha Bush would win!

Carter also lashed out Saturday at British prime minister Tony Blair. Asked how he would judge Blair's support of Bush, the former president said: "Abominable. Loyal. Blind. Apparently subservient."

"And I think the almost undeviating support by Great Britain for the ill-advised policies of President Bush in Iraq have been a major tragedy for the world," Carter told British Broadcasting Corp. radio.

You underestimate the British peanut boy. Blair is a very intelligent person, and he wouldnt blindly follow an american president into war, as usual with liberals, he (Carter) thinks that he is intellectually superior to anyone and everyone else, therefor his opinion actuall means something.

Die already ... will you?

Pelosi Protest Proper Procedure

by Wayne Boettcher
Posted: 05/18/2007

In Iraq, our troops are often successful in military and construction operations. However, mainstream news media rarely report good news from the war front. For instance, recently Marine Colonel Richard Simcock told reporters that progress in Fallujah is phenomenal, explaining that although the 2004 Operation al-Fajr almost destroyed the city with nearly all the residents being captured or killed, Fallujah today has almost 4,000 residents. Fallujah today is an economically strong and flourishing city. But this sort of news never reaches the USA through newspapers and mainstream TV news.

Politicians take advantage of the lack of information to declare our troops are losing and we should pull out of Iraq immediately. Giving no viable alternate plan, it is believed by most that these elected officials know that should we surrender to terrorism, Iraq would soon fall to terrorist nations. This would not only cause America's interests in the Middle East to suffer greatly, but our allies would be devastated and many innocents killed. Yet "surrender" bills continue to flow out of Congress for political purposes.

Recently some American citizens decided to do something about it. Led by Move America Forward, activists inundated the offices of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid with demonstrations. The patriotic protesters had many clever signs such as "Surrender Is Not An Option" but that's not all they had. Real monkeys dressed in berets and waving white flags were also there to drive home the point that Congressional defeatists are "cheese eating surrender monkeys."

Even cynical reporters couldn't resist the cute monkeys! With over a hundred showing up in San Francisco, passersby stopped to read the signs and see what was going on. There were also large rallies in Carson City and Las Vegas, no doubt causing the pusillanimous politicians to reel with shock at being confronted on the issues. How did it come to pass that so many elected officials (of our own country) promote defeat and cowardice, anyway? They are mostly Democrats but some Republicans also advocate surrender. A strange mystery.

There are many ways to fight them. First write, write and continue to write. Every time politicians send a smarmy letter back, refute it. It can be just a few lines: "You still haven't convinced me. Don't vote for bill HR XXXX, please." Write letters to the editor, call in to talk shows, get together with neighbors and have protests like the one mentioned in this column. Join in with campaigns like Grassroots.org and others. Move America Forward also has a TV commercial against Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid's policies which needs donations. These are the ways we must protest. This is the proper procedure.

Liberal news media is at the forefront of the problem. In spite of blogs, talk radio, internet news and Fox News, many people in America still don't know the facts concerning what's happening in the world around them. Furthermore, entertainment media such as TV shows and movies constantly propagandize the population with left wing ideology. Recently the Marxist regime Venezuela announced it would finance two movies by Danny Glover, as if Hollywood doesn't already have enough left wing propaganda!

Liberals have a tremendous advantage in the propaganda war. Does that mean we should just give up, too? No! That's just what they're expecting us to do, because that's what they would do in the same situation. America can return again to the values and ideals of Liberty we have had in the past. But it takes hard work, time and patriotic values. We must not think only of ourselves but our country's future. History has reached a convergence point where we the citizens must choose: sink into a liberal morass of Socialist disasters, or stand up for Freedom and America!

I knew of this event recently here in Tucson, but due to my new position as husband and godly head of household to 5 beautiful children, I was unable to break away to attend.

Kudos to Support America, Support our Troops, AmericanProtest.net and all other veterans and military supporters for their job well done.

I hope Wayne doesnt berate me for my plaigirism (SP?) But here it is:


Flight of the Desert Eagle

by Wayne Boettcher
Posted: 03/23/2007


Day was breaking with another beautiful Arizona sunrise as I pulled out of my driveway with a pickup truck loaded down with signs, flags, pavilions, sidewalk cleaning kit and a generator to help set up "Gathering of Eagles - Tucson" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. The emails were sent, the flyers handed out and posted, the cross-country caravan encouraged, the radio stations called and AmericanProtest.net had even given a local Fox News TV interview. Now we just had to set up and have a rally!

It all started when Jane Fonda returned to "anti-war" activism in Washington DC this January at a protest in which the Capital Building steps were spray-painted. Her next protest was scheduled to be near the Vietnam Memorial wall. It seems like these actions were a serious mistake for her side and indeed, I certainly can't think of any better way to get Americans roused to action. Vietnam Veterans started the "Gathering of Eagles" to protect the Vietnam wall from spray paint and counter "Hanoi" Jane.

Tucson has a short history of protests on this Spring weekend, which is the anniversary of Operation Iraqi Freedom. In 2005, President Bush visited the same weekend and 500 liberal protesters turned out. In 2006, their plan was to march from a park to the Military Recruiting Center and trash it. However, 100 Pro-Americans occupied the center against their 200 marchers and the scheme was foiled. This year, their wacky action included demonstrating at one gate of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, then marching to another and picketing it, in spite of the fact that the Air Force does not dictate foreign policy.

Since Fonda's protest was marching on the Pentagon in Washington DC, it seemed to fit in with what they were doing here. I contacted Gathering of Eagles and received permission to join them and call our counter-action "Gathering of Eagles - Tucson." Here the left wing activists probably only planned to chalk up the sidewalk for vandalism, since they knew the Tucson Police Department would stop any spray painting. I pre-empted the strike by planting the story here and there that we would wash off any sidewalk chalking immediately and assembled a cleaning kit of a large water container, dish soap and hard bristle push broom.

I got to the Craycroft gate at 7:00 am to meet about twenty stalwart veterans, military family members and patriotic citizens who began to set up the 100 or so "River of Flags" consisting of American, military branch and patriotic flags. My friend Jeff from previous protests came early to help set up and wore his AmericanProtest.net Christian T-shirt to remind himself not to yell uncouth slogans at what retired Marine Colonel Frank called the 'Gathering of Turkeys." Many Tucson Eagles wore black "Infidel" t-shirts with white lettering. It takes a lot of work to set up so many flags and banners, but it's done on a weekly basis here in Tucson to support the troops. It's worth it just to see one smile on a soldier's face.

As we set up, many entrants to the Davis-Monthan Air Show and people driving by honked, smiled and waved to show their support for the troops. This year DM didn't advertise much, perhaps for security reasons. The normal traffic jams that usually accompany the show were not so bad this time. More "Gathering of Eagles - Tucson attendees showed up, especially at the announced time of 10:00 am. Soon we reached about 90 people at both gates. They received an armband and either took a sign or had their own. Some held flags; I noted one vet who waved his Army flag proudly. Time passed. We wondered if anyone would show up on the moonbat side for their scheduled time of 11:00 am with march at 11:30 am to another gate at Swan and Golf Links.

Finally two liberals from World Can't Wait appeared, looking very puzzled at our display. After a few minutes more showed up in a big way. The other moonbats must have met at the park and come over in a group. Even though we occupied all four corners of the intersection and the protest permit rules of Tucson are on a "first come, first served" basis, we decided to concede the NW corner. This would not only avoid trouble but also allow a contrast so passing people could tell which side to root for. We had the other three corners after I led a team to the NE to flank them and sign the Golf Links traffic before it got to them. The moonbats numbered about 50 and swelled to 70 by the time of the march.

I was on the NW corner when they arrived and noted a few familiar faces. In the minds of the left wing, there's just no way to support the military like showing them flag draped coffins but this time they had a new wrinkle. Perhaps stung by AmericanProtest.net's constant calling out of their casket displays in previous columns, this year's flag draped boxes used a "clever" ruse. One cardboard coffin had Constitution painted on the side, the other displayed the number 600,000 to bolster their false accusations that American military personnel kill Iraqi civilians on purpose.

While the flags are draped, the letters and numbers written on the "coffins" are obscured so moonbats can present their usual theatrics in front of military bases, hospitals or recruiting centers. However, if anyone were to point out how disgusting this sort of thing is, they can piously raise the flag and say "See, it's not soldiers in that coffin but the Constitution! You can see how patriotic we are." Yes, we do see. Ironically, almost every "anti-war" liberal supports the Roe V. Wade decision that violates Constitutional principles. The approximately 47,000,000 abortions that have occurred since that court case far outnumber their "600,000" fraud.

Last year's rally included a Protest Warrior secret action called Operation Signpost where small posters were placed along the march route. When they tore the poster down another was underneath. This year a new Secret Weapon of the Pro-Americans was revealed. It was an antique Army truck festooned with flags and sporting a powerful bullhorn wielded from the turret. Every few minutes it would drive by; a mobile podium. The moonbats heard a lot of speeches that day.

At 11:30 am, some people from their side crossed over to the SW corner to cause trouble and try to start a fight. Some from our side sought to "block" them with flags and yelled at them to go back! However, it was all a bluff. We had to let them stand there and we knew it. The Tucson Police Department Motorcycle Squad zoomed over to make sure there was no trouble as several moonbats stood on the SW corner tightly surrounded by patriots. Immediately I crossed over from the NE side to their NW corner in another flanking maneuver, causing an uproar in their midst.

Many demanded to know why I was protesting Communism but I just laughed, asking if they knew who organized the rally they were attending. The usual group were yelling, screaming and cursing so I laughed again.

"You don't want to debate, you just want to yell. Look at you, all yelling at the same time. You know I would win any discussion so you just shout at me." Either my beatific smile or my words caused them to calm down long enough for me to relate that Communism killed over 100,000,000 people in the 20th Century while all the wars put together killed 35,000,000. One man tried to respond but his torrent of angry words became so laced with profanity that his conversation grew meaningless.

"Come on, let's march," ordered the Organizational Secretary for Communist Party USA in Arizona who was the organizer of the protest through the "Tucson Peace Action Coalition" front group. He took off quickly Westward on Golf Links and the others followed in a random fashion, trudging wearily through the hot desert sand. I had drunk a lot of water but now was out. However, I took off after their march, trailing them by 100 feet with my "Say No To Communism" sign warning cars of the march ahead. The traffic was extremely light, reminding me of a Sunday morning.

One liberal stayed back and discussed politics with me on the march. I was able to explain that WMD were found in Iraq and others moved to Syria, there was a prewar terrorist connection, that the troops are successful in Iraq and there is no reason to protest military bases because they don't make foreign policy. I gave him some articles to back up my statements. He was a nice guy but a sneering moonbat also came back who was more abrasive. Refusing any articles, he boasted he could debate any right wingers and win, but failed to demonstrate his professed ability.

Some Eagles marched on the South Side as well. When the liberals got to the Swan Gate they found another Gathering of Eagles team holding the SE and SW corners so the liberals took mostly the NE corner. The truck continued to circle the area and give speeches. I stayed 100 feet East of the protest and handed out articles to those who would take them as protesters straggled away slowly. The "Organizational Secretary" of Communist Party USA in Arizona berated me for mistaking him for the "District Leader" of Communist Party USA in Arizona so I agreed to correct that in my columns.

I met three other Communists who denied they were protesting the military when I challenged them on why they were in front of the military base. One related how they were only protesting the military's "actions," however; I explained their claim that the military should all just lay down their arms and quit showed they were indeed protesting the troops. Strangely, they insisted the phrase "'From each, according to his ability; to each, according to his need" is not a Communist concept, although they also said they were highly educated and smarter than me. One young Communist gave me some water for which I was grateful.

Finally all the liberals were gone except a 9/11 conspiracy theorist waiting for a ride. A badly spray painted peace sign leaned against a low concrete wall like some kind of demented pop art parody. I hitched a ride back to the Craycroft gate on the Army truck and thrilled to the patriotic honks and yells we got from the cars around us. People love America, and as long as they do, we can successfully stand against despicable left wing attempts to demoralize our troops and nation. In Washington DC, Fonda was a no show while at least 30,000 Eagles countered a few thousand moonbats who found themselves unable to desecrate the Vietnam Memorial Wall. Click to this column next week to read how 10 remnants of the Gathering of Eagles - Tucson countered 150 Moveon.org members in a valiant move to stand up for the troops - and America!

The best laugh I have had all month............

Sometimes you just have to look at a moonbat and laugh hysterically while rolling on the floor....this is one of those instances.......

TUCSON ENMOD
by bg Sunday February 04, 2007 at 10:19 AM


from the circuit earth blog

020407. A lot of ENMOD (environmental modification) is to restrict/control digestion as I have highlighted before. This seems to be the crux of their attempt to control people and peoples minds.

Sometimes I get hit with energy (Microwave-others-dhs plants here in neighborhood) that makes my ears ring then have to run to bathroom -- this happened this morning. sorry for the indelicacy but many people share these same occurences and change will not happen if it is not discussed....understand you are being manipulated electronically via plasma tech implants and additives in your food/water/air.

In the grid that was in place in the 4th world which england and bush and the other torture lovers want to re-institute here, using cell phones and wireless technology as a cover the digestion control was used as control of the slave force, and also the dray animals and other livestock.

In the way they think, you are eating their food, so it is their duty to make sure you get the most of it and electogastrography is a BIG part of ENMOD and the antennae grid.

By controlling the elimination process they have taken literal control of health/ disease.

Just as teeth (masticatiuon) dictate the initial process within the digestive system and bad teeth exacerbates all disease because digestion suffers from the beginning, so does the process of waste elimination dictate helath disease.

They have the ability to monitor any and all digestivve processes within the grid and a lot of the chemtrailing is for just this purpose i have seen personal chemtrails just for me that many now are noticing as well....this was to keep me from elinminating sometimes, because as soon as i moved some miles off first the chemtrailing becomes frantic as they lose control of my system then i have to grab the tp and head for the woods, because i can feel their control come undone.

The military scum of the bush machine and their money lovers cover all this with weather control and other things but their main goal is to take control of an organisms body, therefore their mind.

This is all in place now folks. many gangs within the bush machine believe its time for America to go away, and they are scum.

Impeach and execute bush.

A lot of the fundamental churches here in America facilitated this takeover -- those traitors are complicit in a forced conversion, which shows how menial and superficial they really are -- how missionary -- they cannot take satisfaction in their beliefs they must make other people believe like they do. Or try.

020407. The military (new american police) at davis monthan afb in tucson az began a spy exercise yesterday (020307) about 2 pm, spraying small lines to the west of town, thereby bringing in an existing plasma used for projecting high power electronic eavesdropping and torture fields (the hate mchine--behaviour modification). The giant electric sparks began to fly immediately and literally, jumping from people to metal and many noticed. This is coordinated eavesdropping via wireless telephone and beaudrys rv harbored many of the operatives because certain people at the tucson gem and mineral show - myself included - were targeted directly. The dhs nazi corp is monitoring people they wish to harass and turn to their evil ways of thinking. They hold prosperity over the head of America like a ransom and the ultimatum is this: prosperity or freedom. They have us in a death grip and prosperity will indeed go away if they lose power and their police state, in the same way the twin towers went away -- these scum will destroy prosperity. A large number of truckers are part of this anti-america eavesdropping, and bikers are many times the SS types harassing people on the streets. This is the church of the skeered ratz, worshippers of torture and cannibalism.

Here in Hachita the human experimentation continues 24-7 with extreme ultrasound refrigeation experiments and people planted in the neighborhood (Smith DOD) to harass and deploy the interferometer experiments, slowly injuring people in suposedly undetectable ways. Nelson in charge of wiretapping and camera deployments I think. These scum are nt Americans and lie and cheat and steal as atheir way of doing business. No one is exempt from their depredations. Prey, it works. All military personnel and anyhone receiving a govt subsistence check of any kind are suspsect and are snitches for their lords and kings.

These types want people in the bush slave system to pay their social security and government welfare, instead of being American and demanding what is theirs they just wish to suck blood like their masters. It is their laziness that has instituted this police state here, and there are many israeli influences too. Democrats and republicans by definition, all now owe allegiance and much more to world powers. They keep all this secret but WATCH THE SKIES...the plasma events are to target individuals nd the operators need to be identified and put in jail. They are many.

Sen. Barack Obama Apologizes for Saying U.S. Troops 'Wasted'

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is apologizing for saying the lives of the more than 3,000 U.S. troops killed in the Iraq war were "wasted."

During his first campaign trip this weekend, the Illinois senator told a crowd in Iowa: "We now have spent $400 billion and have seen over 3,000 lives of the bravest young Americans wasted."

He immediately apologized on Sunday, saying the remark was "a slip of the tongue."

During an appearance Monday in Nashua, N.H., he apologized again, telling reporters he meant to criticize the civilian leadership of the war, not those serving in the military.

"Even as I said it, I realized I had misspoken," Obama said. "It is not at all what I intended to say, and I would absolutely apologize if any (military families) felt that in some ways it had diminished the enormous courage and sacrifice that they'd shown."

Obama made his second visit to New Hampshire on Monday, following his speech Saturday announcing his candidacy in Illinois on Saturday and a visit to first-caucus state Iowa.

Ok look here you big dummy. Lemme learn you a thing or 2

He immediately apologized on Sunday, saying the remark was "a slip of the tongue."

Is that right? Was this RIGHT AFTER you said it you moron or because someone had pointed it out?

During an appearance Monday in Nashua, N.H., he apologized again, telling reporters he meant to criticize the civilian leadership of the war, not those serving in the military.

Seems the dems cant do that without revealing their true anti-troop agenda. If it happened once or twice...FINE..I can accept that, but it happens EVERY STINKING DAY

"Even as I said it, I realized I had misspoken," Obama said. "It is not at all what I intended to say, and I would absolutely apologize if any (military families) felt that in some ways it had diminished the enormous courage and sacrifice that they'd shown."

Oh?? Even as you said it?? Which is why you stopped and apologised and corrected yourself right away huh? YOU LYING SACK OF COW DUNG...HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE AMERICAN PEOPLES INTELLIGENCE. And he would "absolutely apologise IF..." IF... IF ... IF WHAT YOU BIG DUMMY? IF YOU WERE CALLED ON IT? NOT BECAUSE APOLOGISING IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO?? ONLY BECAUSE SOMEONE IS OFFENDED?

YOU STUPID BUFFOON....STFU

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

SCREW YOU OBAMA

HT to Independant Conservative VIA Hot Air

Like has been said...pull up a chair and sit next to John Kerry...you loser. 3000 lives "wasted"? What the hell kind of anti-american crap is that? Give a man a microphone and he shoves it down his throat, along with his shoe. What a complete baffoon this guy is. Piss on our troops some more why dont you?

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Super Bowl Ads of Cartoonish Violence, Perhaps Reflecting Toll of War

By STUART ELLIOTT
February 5, 2007

No commercial that appeared last night during Super Bowl XLI directly addressed Iraq, unlike a patriotic spot for Budweiser beer that ran during the game two years ago. But the ongoing war seemed to linger just below the surface of many of this year’s commercials.

More than a dozen spots celebrated violence in an exaggerated, cartoonlike vein that was intended to be humorous, but often came across as cruel or callous.

For instance, in a commercial for Bud Light beer, sold by Anheuser-Busch, one man beat the other at a game of rock, paper, scissors by throwing a rock at his opponent’s head.

In another Bud Light spot, face-slapping replaced fist-bumping as the cool way for people to show affection for one another. In a FedEx commercial, set on the moon, an astronaut was wiped out by a meteor. In a spot for Snickers candy, sold by Mars, two co-workers sought to prove their masculinity by tearing off patches of chest hair.

There was also a bank robbery (E*Trade Financial), fierce battles among office workers trapped in a jungle (CareerBuilder), menacing hitchhikers (Bud Light again) and a clash between a monster and a superhero reminiscent of a horror movie (Garmin).

It was as if Madison Avenue were channeling Doc in “West Side Story,” the gentle owner of the candy store in the neighborhood that the two street gangs, the Jets and Sharks, fight over. “Why do you kids live like there’s a war on?” Doc asks plaintively. (Well, Doc, this time, there is.)

During other wars, Madison Avenue has appealed to a yearning for peace. That was expressed in several Super Bowl spots evocative of “Hilltop,” the classic Coca-Cola commercial from 1971, when the Vietnam War divided a world that needed to be taught to sing in perfect harmony…

Not a sparrow falls that it isn’t Bush’s fault.

Or rather there is no subject too far afield that cannot be pressed into service by the New York Times to press their America-hating agenda.

… and a clash between a monster and a superhero reminiscent of a horror movie (Garmin).

"Horror movie"? Try a Japanese monster movie. (Which, some claimed at the time, were allegories about the Cold War.)

I guess the Solons at the New York Times don’t get out much.




Couldnt have said it better myself if I tried.

Oy...I am so conflicted

Councilman rebuked over decision to sit through pledge
Associated Press

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 02.06.2007

Several Mesa City Council members have rebuked Councilman Tom Rawles over his decision to sit down during the Pledge of Allegiance to protest the U.S. involvement in Iraq.

"I think that whatever the message is, and I know what Tom wants to say, has been buried," said Councilman Scott Somers, a veteran of the Persian Gulf War. "Nobody's hearing that message over the action that was taken."

Somers also said at Monday's meeting that Rawles' protest has been a distraction.
Other council members also expressed disappointment in Rawles' decision.

"I feel it is a privilege and an honor to pledge to the flag and what it stands for," Councilman Kyle Jones said.

Rawles, a former county supervisor, sat through the Pledge two weeks ago and announced he will do the same at every council meeting until U.S. troops are out of Iraq or until his term ends in late 2008.

"If I don't have the freedom not to stand for the Pledge, standing for the Pledge means absolutely nothing," Rawles said.

__________________________

Ok, on the one hand this asshat has the right to not stand for the pledge in protest...I know..I have used the same Supreme Court decision to sit out the pledge in high school (This was before I started thinking for myself) ... On the other hand, this man is a councilman and stands in a very important post for his city, it is up to him to lead by example and show the people of Mesa that you can be an American and still disagree with the policies.

Its an honor and a privelage to serve the people...at the very least he should show his patriotism by standing and reciting the pledge...if you have a beef with the policies of the United States, you have OTHER options!

I say down with the traitor...what say you?

Heh

Brilliant

I was browsing Yahoo News (always good for a few laughs in their liberal slant of things) and ran across an article about Yale college and an email sent out chastising a couple for fornicating in the shower. That isnt what this post is about. What is is about is the fact that the article pointed me to a blog of a young conservative on campus who posts infrequently, but well. One post in particular caught my eye and I want to share with you, you can find this posting of his at PC-Ness over done

The Chicago Maroon's Editorial Board has decided to endorse "Gender Neutral Housing." What's more digusting than their position is their reluctance to admit it. They are determined to weigh in on controversial issues, but so afraid to offend anyone.

First they want to, “allow students to live in an environment that conforms with their notions of gender.” But they also want to stress that, “People with religious, cultural, or personal reasons for wanting gender-specific housing should have that option.” What do they think? Well, one would have to get to the bottom of the drivel to find out the real kicker:

Forcing different types of students together is for everyone’s benefit and is one of the best ways to overcome the stereotypes and prejudices that are rampant in our society.

You heard it, the best way to create diversity is to shove it down people’s throats until they like the taste. Wow, there’s tolerance for ya. Did people ever stop to think that some things were taboo for a reason?
