Toxic

Forget about the kids singing Obama's praises, this is a far more dangerous type of indoctrination.

Moving on Over to Astroturfing

The following is text from a MoveOn.org asking people to post the Will Ferrell pro-Obama care video on their facebook and twitter statuses. They were even so kind as to tell you exactly what to re-tweet.

I've got one question for you, who are the Astroturfers now?

I have the email if you would like me to forward it to you. I thought text would be more helpful than just screen shots. I took out the name of the original person this was sent to for his privacy.

Dear MoveOn member,

Earlier today, we sent you a funny video featuring Will Ferrell talking
about the plight of insurance company executives--the "real" victims in
the health care fight.

The video is catching FIRE! Already over 600,000 people have seen it, and
it's on the verge of going truly viral. Can you help make sure it does by
posting this as your status on Facebook, with a link to the video?

No health insurance company should have to lose one cent of their billions
in profits just because sick Americans need health care. If you agree with
Will Ferrell, please post this as your status for a
day: http://bit.ly/kNKpA

You probably saw a couple weeks ago when a similar--but serious--status
update went viral on Facebook. Let's make it happen again, this time using
the power of snark to continue to spread the word about how crucial health
care reform is.

And watch the video if you haven't yet! It's pretty darn funny, if we do
say so ourselves. ;)

--Kat, Laura, Stephen, Marika, and the rest of the team

P.S. If you're on Twitter, can you tweet this, too?

3 Phases

The Left and the Mainstream Media

First Ignored Us,

Then Ridiculed Us,

We're presently under Attack

We are the Mob.

We have their Attention.

They are running Scared.

Keep fighting because its working.

Give to Ceasar...and to Swine Odor Management Research?

Luke 20:22-26

[22] Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?" [23] He saw through their duplicity and said to them, [24] "Show me a denarius. Whose portrait and inscription are on it?" [25] "Caesar's," they replied. He said to them, "Then give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." [26] They were unable to trap him in what he had said there in public. And astonished by his answer, they became silent.

I have no problem paying my fair share of taxes. It is right; it is fair; it is Biblical. They pay for our schools, our roads, our police and our parks. I like all those things (minus some issues with the schools, but that is another post) and we need them for our way of life to work.

But what is going on in Washington is wasteful, which is decidedly unbiblical and wrong.

I prefer my taxes to go towards things I use, so will someone please explain to me why my tax dollars are going toward textile research in North Carolina? That is right, $1,000,000 for the Textile/Clothing Technology Corporation in Cary and $1,000,000 for North Carolina State University in Raleigh. I like textiles, they make my clothes stay together. But I would like an explanation from Congressman David Price as to why my federal tax dollars need to be spent on this.

And I know that Detroit is having serious problems. So I am pretty sure that $3,800,000 for the Old Tiger Stadium Conservancy for preservation and redevelopment of a public park and related business activities in the Corktown Neighborhood is just what they need to get Detroit running again. But I live in Virginia, so Sen. Carl Levin, what impact will said Conservancy have on my life?

And, while I know Mississippi is a tourist mecca, why are my tax dollars flooding into that state? I have never been there, but maybe I should visit to see what my hard earned money has bought. $46,756,750 of your hard earned tax dollar are being spent on 38 projects proposed by Thad Cochran, including: $950,000 for Audubon Mississippi for a nature-based education facility; $950,000 for Downtown Jackson Plaza, Inc. for construction of a civic gathering place; $475,000 for the JATRAN light rail feasibility study; $427,500 for Natchez riverfront trails; and $380,000 for renovation of Jackson’s Thalia Mara Performing Arts Center. In March, patrons of the Thalia Mara Performing Arts Center could enjoy a rendition of “Jesus Christ Superstar.” In April, the Arts Center will present, “Bob the Builder: Live.” Tickets range from $15 to $36.50.

Bob the Builder, huh? I wonder how he is with economics. Can we fix it? I sure hope so.

I attended DC's tea party today, it was wet and cold and cut short by a possible bomb (aka box of tea bags). But people were fairly pleasant and seemed to understand what this movement is all about. It isn't anti government, or anti tax, or anti Obama. It is anti waste.

We want accountability from the people who are supposedly representing us.

I want term limits.

I want earmark reform.

I want the people in Washington to listen.

And I don't want to pay $1,791,000 for swine odor and manure management research in Ames, IA.(it's true, look it up).

Finally, let me make a predicition, a mass exodus of incumbents in 2010.

All the stats come from the Citizens Against Government Waste 2009 Pig Book. It can be found at http://www.cagw.org/site/PageServer?pagename=reports_pigbook2009

Hoofbeats

A conversation I had with some liberal, Obama loving, co-workers right after the inauguration.

Them: Emily, don't you know we are all going to have to work together to make [Obama's presidency] work?

Me: Okay, I will do my part by letting you know when I hear the hoofbeats of the apocolypse.

Them: You just hate him because he is a democrat.

Me: No, I disagree with his plans because I think he is going to run this country in the ground.


This is what I deal with everyday. Sigh.

On a brighter note, fast forward 3 months, these same co-workers are screaming about bank and private business nationalization.

Seems to me that someone tried to tell them so.... are those hoofbeats I hear in the distance?

You Go Joe

'Joe the Plumber' sues over Ohio records probe

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D96O2D380&show_article=1

Take these people for all they are worth.

The way Joe was treated is dispicable, it still is dispicable.

This guy made the mistake of catching Obama off guard and without a teleprompter and, because Obama doesn't speak off the cuff, he accidently said what he really meant.

So of course the logical course of action would be to go after his character, dig up his tax records, and spread it all over the mainstream media.

The Obama thugs did a better job vetting a random guy who asked an honest question at a campaign stop than any of their loser nominees.

This is what Obama and his cronies do to private citizens who get in their way.

Demean, discredit, and destroy.
