DENVER - YOUR PROTESTORS SHOULD BE GREETED WITH FLOWERS!!
At the very core of patriotism is the desire to preserve and enhance democracy. For true patriots - those who take their love of nation beyond the confines of their cushy sofas and wide screen TVs - there are no limits to their efforts to hold leaders [...]
Yippie Action at Denver Mint: Alex Jones, Meet Michelle Malkin
thanks readers - you can understand how crazy the last 48 hours have been - and to try and put them in a digest? yeah right.
Democratic National Convention - the day before:
After the typical flight delays, baggage claims hassles, and 96 hours straight of “awakeness”, we’re here in Denver - and although this kind of post , the “i just wanted to say we have nothing at the moment to say”- is generally kind of lame.
So for the moment I’d like to [...]
PELOSI GETS “BOOKED” & CONFRONTS HER OWN PAST
note: pics and vid added tonight - Monday Aug 25.
Last Monday evening, in the plush environs of Los Angeles’ American Jewish University, a dedicated group of pro-peace, Pro-Constitution patriots “booked” Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. No, I don’t mean “booked” as in charged her with a crime [...]
In India, freedom is an illusion. And unlike an elaborate hoax, this illusion is staring everyone in the face. People just refuse to see it and acknowledge it. They have no problems living under a nanny state that forces everyone to use seat-belts and helmets. Sure these save lives and should be worn by everyone traveling but the state shouldn’t be enforcing this on people. At most it can create awareness about these issues and let the people judge.
In our three-part interview we discuss the essential differences b/w The GOP, The Libertarian Party, and Constitution Party. We touch on Immigration Issues, Abortion Law, The Defense of Marriage Act, and the Constitution and Bill of Rights – we also touch on a number of surprising touchstones that are
the reason why the Constitution Party has the 3rd largest membership tally of all
the U.S. political parties.

This has come back to hit us in the face during Barack Obama’s Middle East trip, where he called for sending 10,000 more troops to Afghanistan. John McCain, not to be one-upped in putting our young men and women in harm’s way, is also calling for an escalation of the Afghan war.

IS THIS REALLY WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE?!
There are characteristics essential to being a member of the peace and social justice organization, CODEPINK. Chief among them is compassion. One can hardly dedicate one’s life to improving the lives of others if there isn’t an abiding drive to help those in need. Thus, it was no surprise to those who know her when 24 year old CODEPINK member, Alicia Forrest, in search of the truth, used her camera to document the arrest of a young man swarmed and overpowered by Denver sheriffs during a demonstration in Denver. The sheriffs were NOT appreciative of Alicia’s attempt to photograph the incident. Thus, in an over-the-top - some might even say unprofessional response - to Alicia’s citizen journalism, the Denver sheriff (shown in the video), apparently bashed the diminutive young woman with his baton, knocked her to the ground, and left her sprawled across the pavement in pain. After being helped to her feet by witnesses who were shocked at the officer’s seemingly unprovoked aggression, Alicia was approached by on-site media who asked what precipitated the altercation (as shown on the video). When Alicia began to tell the media what happened - the sheriff, in yet another questionable act - grabbed her, collared her gruffly, whisked her off the premises, and arrested her. As I report this, young Alicia Forrest has just been released from jail, where she has spent the greater part of the day. Her charge was “Interference.” Her bail was in excess of five hundred dollars. As Alicia explained to me this evening, the sheriff actually hit her twice with the baton - the first time off camera - the second time on. I’ve personally witnessed the abrasions on Alicia’s wrists from the tightly fastened plastic restraints. To the credit of the Denver Sheriff’s Department, this incident is currently under investigation by their Internal Affairs Department. So judge for yourselves!! You’ve seen the video evidence. IS THIS REALLY WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE?!
