Astroturfers vs. Big Union

And SEIU was involved. What a shocker.

The New Klan Rallies

"I think they are Astroturf ... you be the judge. They're carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on health care." - Nancy Pelosi

Really? That's where she's taking this debate? Should it surprise anyone? There've been no swastikas or any Nazi symbols at these town hall meetings. Yet. Anyone willing to wager that some will conveniently start showing up now that she's made this claim?

Message To Washington

Go ahead. Continue to ignore us. Ridicule us. Tell us our anger is fake. Use words like "mob" and "astroturf". You go ahead and keep doing these things so that, come 2010 & 2012, when you loose your jobs, you can sit around and wonder what happened. We've sat by for far too many years and let you destroy this country. No more. Yes, there are a few crazies out there spouting off about Obama's birth certificate that you like to exploit. But those nutjobs are the Cindy Sheehan's of this movement. Most of us are people like me. People who don't like where you're taking us. People who work hard and don't like you taking what we've earned and giving it to someone who hasn't. People who are sick and tired of you taking our tax dollars and giving them to you cronies as payments for their help in getting you elected. We're tired of being talked down to. Tired of being lied to. Tired of having our voices ignored. So if we have to shout you down at a town hall meeting, then that's what we're going to do. Obama promised change and I guarantee that's what we're going to get. Because we're starting to see the light, and what you've been hiding from it. And we don't like it. Your time is coming to an end.

Wednesday Hero

Lance Cpl. Jeremy P. Tamburello
19 years old from Denver, Colorado
1st Light Armor Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force
November 8, 2005


His parents didn't want him to enlist, but it was his passion for helping people that led L/Cpl. Jeremy Tamburello to the military. "He was a very noble, very compassionate, very brave man" said L/Cpl. Tamburello's father, Kevin. "He knew that he was going to have to go to Iraq and he knew that he might die, but he went anyway."

L/Cpl. Tamburello was killed by an IED while conducting combat operations near Rutbah, Iraq.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

CARS.gov Update

The government has removed the notice from the website. It doesn't necessarily mean they've stopped hijacking private computers, it just means that dealers won't see the warning any more. This all started because one concerned citizen contacted Beck and that set off the firestorm. No longer are we going to just sit back and let the government screw us over as they've been doing for years.

Why So Socialist?

Posters of Obama in Joker makeup with the word "socialism" have been popping up in Los Angeles. I like the piece from Bedlam Magazine.

The Joker white-face imposed on Obama's visage has a sort of malicious, racist, Jim Crow quailty to it...

Always right to racism. It's not because the Joker is a dangerous character and the person who created this poster might believe Obama to be dangerous. No. He's just a racist. Unless he turns out to be Black, then he'll be a race traitor. And then again this might just all be a stunt to get people crazy. Like me. Who knows. But the one they claim is from Atlanta is Photoshopped.

Life Lesson #14

Never get your political or medical advice from a celebrity.
