Obama '08?

People for the American Way - now there's an organization on which we can count for objective, partisan free analysis.

I don’t know if the Tea Party movement is too late to turn this country around, but I do believe we are this country’s only hope of stopping the progressives from bankrupting this country and turning us into socialist serfs of the state.

My goal is the establishment of a new and stable world order. ... The USA is the main obstacle to establishing a new and stable World Order.
... My process for taking over a country was and is:
(1) Establish a shadow government;
(2) Control communications;
(3) Destabilize the state;
(4) Provoke an election crisis;
(5) Take power.

As if you ever made -- or endorsed -- an objective, partisan free statement.

You couldn't possibly know this to be the case.

Why is it that you fail to complain when the right makes up statements from the whole cloth

Because I know you and twenty other A2K liberals will be there to do it for me. BTW, does this mean you are admitting People for The American Way makes up statements from whole cloth?


but you start throwing rocks when someone posts something from a liberal/left/progressive organization. That is the equivalent of saying you on the left have no right to speak.

I'm not sure what you mean by throwing rocks.

Pointing out that People for The American Way is a partisan and biased organization is "throwing rocks?" Do you disagree with this assessment of People for The American Way?

It certainly isn't the equivalent of saying you on the left have no right to speak, and what if it was? Who would care if I made such a silly pronouncement?

If I was attempting to cite a non-partisan, non-biased analysis of an issue, I certainly wouldn't provide a link to Newmax.

Clearly, George Soros is a self-confessed traitor to the USA. Consequently, George Soros must be indicted and tried as such.

Minutes ago, the START treaty had a test vote in the Senate. It passed 67-28 with 11 Republicans joining all of the Democrats present to get to the 2/3rds majority. 28 Republicans voted against it. A final vote is expected to take place tomorrow.

In a Wall Street Journal piece out this morning we learn the FCC has gone rogue on the issue and is completely bypassing Congress in an effort to grab control over the web.
"To date, the FCC hasn't ruled out increasing its power further by using the phone monopoly laws, directly or indirectly regulating rates someday, or expanding its reach deeper into mobile broadband services. The most expansive regulatory regimes frequently started out modest and innocuous before incrementally growing into heavy-handed behemoths.

On this winter solstice, we will witness jaw-dropping interventionist chutzpah as the FCC bypasses branches of our government in the dogged pursuit of needless and harmful regulation. The darkest day of the year may end up marking the beginning of a long winter's night for Internet freedom."

On the surface it would appear as though this entire net regulation argument surrounds the price we pay for access to the web. But the kicker is that once FCC is granted oversight and control on pricing, there will be very little standing in the way of expansion into communication through the web itself.

It's important to remember that without the web, the tea party movement would not exist. For those of you involved back in February of 2009, you'll remember the tea party movement used wiki's, blogs and open source software to organize a Historic day of rallies and protests.
We Need Congress

We badly need to get newly elected members of Congress involved in a full frontal assault on the FCC. It's time we tied the hands of the FCC to ensure they stay within their granted power and do not stray into areas where the people have clearly demanded they stay out.

I actually have less of a problem with this criticism than many of my fellow travelers here - not because I think PFTAW is any sort of bad organization, but I surely don't trust many organizations with a clear right-wing bias.

I guess, though, that for the criticism to be more meaningful, you probably ought to be able to point out that part of that piece which was incorrect.

Congress has made all of us safer and made clear that the men and women who sacrifice for our country should be treated with respect, regardless of sexual orientation.

For those who remembered John McCain as a reasonable and sometimes even moderate Republican senator, the image was shocking. It seemed like Senator McCain had completely lost his mind.

These aren't fringe figures in the Religious Right movement. They are important figures in the GOP, and party leaders are eager to cater to their bigoted agenda.

"It is clear why this was done: not to enhance the military's ability to accomplish its mission or to enhance national security. Rather, it is a political payoff to a tiny, but loud and wealthy, part of the Democratic base."

Thanks to a flood of new right-wing politicians entering Congress in just a few weeks, you can expect more extremism and more politicians playing political games with important issues.

I know he [George Soros] was a traitor to his fellow Jews during WWII,
