Remember that, forever!

PLUNDER: NEW BOOK EXPOSES POWER OF UNIONS
PLUNDER: NEW BOOK EXPOSES POWER OF (public sector) UNIONS
"Steven Greenhut has just released his book, aptly titled Plunder!
How Public Employee Unions Are Raiding Treasuries Controlling Our Lives and Bankrupting the Nation.
Readers who have high blood pressure are advised to take a double dose of medication before opening this book.
For the vast majority of ordinary citizens who toil in the private sector, this book will produce more than outrage – it is likely to spur many to take up the cause of stopping these corrupting influences on our systems of governance."

The Obama Recovery In Full Effect: Deficits Running 25% Higher Than Highest Estimates
The Obama Recovery In Full Effect: Deficits Running 25% Higher Than Highest Estimates
"Red ink: the government is drowning in it.
The first two months of fiscal 2010 set a new record.
Curiously, this report was issued late Friday -- the slowest news day -- and it has been completely ignored by state-run media."

Tea Party Tops GOP on Three-Way Generic Ballot
Tea Party Tops GOP on Three-Way Generic Ballot
"Running under the Tea Party brand may be better in congressional races than being a Republican.
In a three-way Generic Ballot test, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Democrats attracting 36% of the vote.
The Tea Party candidate picks up 23%, and Republicans finish third at 18%.
Another 22% are undecided.
(TeaParty+GOP=45%)
Among voters not affiliated with either major party, the Tea Party comes out on top.
Thirty-three percent (33%) prefer the Tea Party candidate, and 30% are undecided.
Twenty-five percent (25%) would vote for a Democrat, and just 12% prefer the GOP."
(TeaParty+GOP=45%)
Does the GOP leadership have a clue?

This CBS holiday promo from 1966 would never be done today
Here's a subtle, beautiful "Season's Greetings" promo from CBS in 1966. This would never happen in 2009, of course. It's not loud or wacky enough. But wouldn't it be a nice breather in between people getting killed on Criminal Minds and people getting killed on CSI: NY? And can you imagine what sort of good will CBS would generate if they showed something like this again? TV fans would love it.
A letter to a senator
Do you remember the scene? The Senate. Barbara Boxer hearing from a Brigadier General? Silly General! He addresses Barbara as "Ma'am", and she CORRECTS him in front of millions of people, telling him she's "worked SO hard to earn the title, "Senator", so please to use that when speaking to her.
Get a load of this letter!
Read the letter sent to Sen. Barbara Boxer from an Alaskan Airlines pilot below.
Many of us witnessed the arrogance of Barbara Boxer on June 18, 2009 as she admonished Brigadier General Michael Walsh because he addressed her as "ma'am" and not "Senator" before a Senate hearing.
This letter is from a National Guard aviator and Captain for Alaska Airlines named Jim Hill. I wonder what he would have said if he were really angry. Long fly Alaska !!!!!
Babs:
You were so right on when you scolded the general on TV for using the term, "ma'am," instead of "Senator". After all, in the military, "ma'am" is a term of respect when addressing a female of superior rank or position. The general was totally wrong. You are not a person of superior rank or position.. You are a member of one of the world's most corrupt organizations, the U.S. Senate, equaled only by the U.S. House of Representatives.
Congress is a cesspool of liars, thieves, inside traders, traitors, drunks (one who killed a staffer, yet is still revered), criminals, and other low level swine who, as individuals (not all, but many), will do anything to enhance their lives, fortunes and power, all at the expense of the People of the United States and its Constitution, in order to be continually re-elected. Many democrats even want American troops killed by releasing photographs. How many of you could honestly say, "We pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor"? None? One? Two?
Your reaction to the general shows several things. First is your abysmal ignorance of all things military. Your treatment of the general shows you to be an elitist of the worst kind.. When the general entered the military (as most of us who served) he wrote the government a blank check, offering his life to protect your derriere, now safely and comfortably ensconced in a 20 thousand dollar leather chair, paid for by the general's taxes. You repaid him for this by humiliating him in front of millions.
Second is your puerile character, lack of sophistication, and arrogance, which borders on the hubristic. This display of brattish behavior shows you to be a virago, termagant, harridan, nag, scold or shrew, unfit for your position, regardless of the support of the unwashed, uneducated masses who have made California into the laughing stock of the nation.
What I am writing, are the same thoughts countless millions of Americans have toward Congress, but who lack the energy, ability or time to convey them. Regardless of their thoughts, most realize that politicians are pretty much the same, and will vote for the one who will bring home the most bacon, even if they do consider how corrupt that person is. Lord Acton (1834 - 1902) so aptly charged, "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Unbeknownst to you and your colleagues, "Mr. Power" has had his way with all of you, and we are all the worse for it.
Finally Senator, I, too, have a title. It is "Right Wing Extremist Potential Terrorist Threat." It is not of my choosing, but was given to me by your Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano. And you were offended by "ma'am"?
Have a fine day. Cheers!

The Web Discloses Inconvenient Climate Truths

"Over the weekend, East Anglia officials disclosed they had disposed years ago of the historic weather data underlying their analysis.
This may be one reason they've fought information requests."

Reason to be grateful Obama appointed gay porn-purveyor Jennings as Safe Schools Czar
Reason to be grateful Obama appointed gay porn-purveyor Jennings as Safe Schools Czar
"the “Safe School Czar” is........ a career gay man who is devoted to ensuring that children as young as five or six are exposed to a steady stream of sexual information that may help them get in contact with their homosexual side.
.....Jennings has very close ties to NAMBLA, an organization that actively works to legalize pedophilia.
The latest hit against Jennings is a report at Gateway Pundit.
This report details the way in which Jennings’ gay/education/political activism group, GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network), actively pushes schools to include in their reading lists extremely sexually explicit books aimed at kids in the 7th through 12th grades.
And when I say sexually explicit, I’m not talking about coy allusions to hand-holding, kissing and warm fuzzy feelings.
Gateway Pundit carefully documents precisely the kind of material Jennings’ organization wants your children to read.
It is graphic.
No child — gay, straight, confused, whatever — should be reading this kind of material.
The listed books include pornographic pictures, descriptions of sado-masochistic acts, graphic descriptions of sexual acts, etc."
This is the man Obama has appointed as our children's "Safe-Schools" czar.
Is anyone listening?

New jobless claims fall unexpectedly because last week had only 3 working days, but we won't mention that last part too much
New jobless claims fall unexpectedly because last week had only 3 working days, but we won't mention that last part too much
"Last week was Thanksgiving, meaning most offices were closed on Thursday and Friday yielding only a 3-day workweek.
So you have to figure there were 2 fewer days to file for unemployment benefits for those that either can't or just don't use a computer to do so.
The expected result is that new unemployment claims were down last week (duh!), which was apparently unexpected by the AP, as is apparent by this headline over at The Detroit News: New jobless claims fall unexpectedly.
It's not until the 4th paragraph that you get to know what really happened:"

And now the "free" press is negotiating with Obama's minions for a bailout.
We are screwed!
Sen. Boxer and ClimateGate
Sen. Boxer and ClimateGate:
"Gangsters always get antsy when threatened with exposure of their rackets, and Climate Fraud is a hell of a racket, a grand bargain among greedy science whores, malevolent government officials and a supine but protective media – Americans who get their news from The New York Times or the networks basically have no idea what we’re talking about here – who are all in this together."

Alinsky Does Afghanistan
Alinsky Does Afghanistan
"First, the president is an Alinskyite, so steeped in the ideology of the seminal community organizer that he became a top instructor in Alinskyite tactics for other up-and-coming radicals.
As David Horowitz explains in an essential new pamphlet, Barack Obama’s Rules for Revolution: The Alinsky Model, Alinksyites are fifth-column radicals.
They have, in substance, the same goals as open revolutionaries: overthrowing the existing free-market republic and replacing it with a radical’s utopia."

If you support Obama's agenda, please tell me where this "utopia" exists.
