Apparently some 12,000 US flags were recovered by a worker of Invesco Field in Denver right after the Democrat National Convention. I'm hearing that the McCain campaign plans to hand them out today at their event in Colorado Springs.
Of course, the Obama campaign is distancing themselves from this, saying that they didn't discard them or that Senator Obama himself didn't order them discarded, even after they sat for over week in bags on a dock.
I really don't think that they cared until they heard that the flags had been rescued. After all, the US flag is a symbol of things that most Democrats stand against. Why would they care about some US flags unless their use promotes their purpose? See my previous post about a similar disgrace at a liberal University. How liberal? How about the University of Maine is the only known university to offer programs in Socialist and Marxist studies, including a minor?

We're in a world of hurt, courtesy of the Democrat Hate Machine
Yep... the Democrat Hate Machine (DHM). You know... the folks that hate achievement, logic, reason, and everything they produce?
It's pretty easy to see that we're pretty much teetering on the edge of Real Trouble with all of this oil stuff. Since Pelosi's Politburo took office, national average gas prices are up from $2.10/gal to over $4.00 a gallon. In spite of the IMMEDIATE drop in oil prices upon the mere mentioning by the President that he was killing restrictions on drilling from his office, the Politburo still claims (without ANY justification) that it would take 10 years for any drilling to lower gas prices.
Today, the Say Anything Blog pointed out that it would take much to militarily cripple the US by restricting oil imports. I mean really... how hard could it be when just a little blip in demand and a socialist majority in Congress cause the gas prices to shoot through the roof? And in the face of this glaring vulnerability, the Politburo still won't allow drilling in ANWR or off-shore in massive deposits.
Kudos to the Congressional Republicans drawing attention to this yesterday. The so-called "People's Party"... the tolerant party that SO concerned about everyone's rights turned the lights and microphones off on the people that are trying the hardest to do the "People's Work" and address this crisis... so they could go on vacation.
Something tells me that it just got a whole lot easier for Congressional Republicans to take back the majority in 2008. It won't stop our inexorable slide to the left, but hopefully it'll slow things down.
BTW... how does Senator Obama address the issues of high energy prices? By planning to tax "windfall profits" of oil companies and redistributing this money to his proletariate in the form of $500 and $1,000 checks. I thought that the minimum wage increase would have taken care of this. Wait... the reality of that is that jobs will be lost, prices will go up, and the people that this was supposed to be for will be hardest hit.
It's truly sad that this nation has allowed itself to become one populated by foolish, ignorant voters. It is they who have allowed the DHM to gain such a foothold in our leadership. And it is they who will eventually cost us our freedom.

Quotes for today...
Folks... I found a great political cartoon site today called Red Planet Cartoons. Do yourself a favor and visit.
While I was there, I picked up a couple quotes of value. First by Thomas Sowell:
This was said, of course, in reference to everyone's blaming of high gas prices on the greed of the oil companies rather than government interference and taxes. Nevermind that the oil companies make about 9 cents per gallon and government takes around 42.
And this one from our greatest President, Ronald Reagan:
The reference here should be obvious.

Nothing is easier, or more emotionally satisfying, than blaming high prices on those who charge them, rather than on those who cause them.

Republicans believe every day is July 4th. Democrats believe every day is April 15th.

Brought to you by a homophobic Bible-belt Republican politician...
Here's a flash of brilliance brought forth by Sally Kern, one of Oklahoma's state representatives:
This is a perfect example of another overzealous moron trying to foist her ideals on others via poorly constructed arguments that aren't logical and do not follow. This is a perfect example of why I refuse to have anything to do with religion. This is not a proud day for my state.
In related news, leave it to the Bible-belters to pull another fast one on their constituents. And to think, we made fun of Kansas when they were in the news trying to put mysticism and ghosts in front of education. I reckon it's better to Rep. Kern and the other flat-earthers in Oklahoma's legislature for our children to grow up into procreative troglodytes who know nothing of the real world that surrounds them. Gays a threat? Hardly. Religious zealots a threat? You bet. Take a look at al Qaeda.
Representative Kern: Thank you (and those like you) for embarrassing our state on a national and/or global scale. Tell you what: if you want to live in a world made up only of people just like you, go away and build your utopia. Just leave the realists out of it. Thank you.
Afterthought: If Rep. Kern wants an accurate speech, all she needs to do is replace every reference to homosexuality with references to overdone religion.
Afterthought again: And this is why I still hold that sending a child to a gubment school is akin to child abuse.
Final afterthought: Republicans need to stay the fuck away from handling social issues, much like Democrats need to stay the fuck away from handling economic issues.
Asshat.

Republican presidential campaign...
So, even as a libertarian, I was disappointed that Mitt Romney dropped out of the race yesterday. Why? Because I believe that he was truly the best candidate for president at this time. I'm not thrilled with his position on the FairTax and his history of instituting socialist health care schemes, but he is a businessman, and that's what we need right now.
That said, I think that this dropping out was very smart for at least two reasons. First, he is right that it is time to solidify a national campaign for president now, before the competition splinters the potential vote in manner that causes the Democrat Party's candidate to win. Second, he displayed to us that he is more interested in what the people need rather than what he wants. Do I believe all this politics? Not necessarily, but it's still better than what the Democrats have put up. I'll be looking for Mitt Romney again in 4-8 years.
In stark contrast to Mitt Romney's position of making moves to serve the people rather than his own interests are those firmly rooted in the right wing of the GOP. We're all well aware that John McCain isn't the conservative's conservative. But those that would rather have the Democrat than John McCain are STUPID ASSES. Look, we're on the cusp of having one of the most dangerous people in American politics elected president. It is now the time to unify behind McCain and push him forth. It's apparently what the people want right now, what with is large lead in the Republican primary and all. So, GOP, come down out of your ivory tower and start thinking about what your constituency wants.
There is plenty that doesn't thrill me about McCain's platform, such as his big-government solutions. But as a moderate Republican, he does have broad appeal spanning conservative Democrats and 2/3 of the Republican party. And he will not scuttle this country like another Clinton regime would.
People have asked me why, as a libertarian, I don't vote for the Libertarian Party candidate or even libertarian Republican candidate Ron Paul. I have a lot of admiration for much of the LP candidates' and Representative Paul's platforms. But their positions on the Iraq war turn me away. If we pull out of there now, those religious zealot nutcases WILL bring the war over here, much as they did on 9/11. Better to fight that war over there than on our own soil. Another reason is that I am terrified of the possibility of a Hillary Clinton presidency. Finally, this country has been sliding steadily to the left for the past 80 or so years. To move this country back to the center requires input from the right. Thus, I am voting for the Republican candidate this election.
