I was sent a must read this morning written by Thomas Sowell, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. Rather than post bits and pieces here, jump over to his web site, it’s worth the read.

Amazing. An apartment complex in Albany, Oregon has banned the U.S. flag. Remove it, or be evicted.

And more. It seems the White House has an RFQ (request for quote), that calls for the harvesting of personal information on millions of Americans from social networking websites. The sites include Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, Flickr and others – any space where the White House “maintains a presence.”

This video says it all.

Funny, Obama was a community organizer, and now that the communities are organizing, the democrats are aghast.

From Politico.com

Lanny Davis, Attorney and Democratic strategist:

The “shout downs” organized by the Republican right meet one of the classic definition of “fascist” tactics–defined as using shouting and disruption to deprive the civil and respectful debate of ideas. There is literally no defense to these tactics. I don’t criticize those who feel genuine anger or fear and show up to meetings to express those emotions. But I do call out the tactic of screaming and disrupting a meeting and the fact that this is a systematic tactic by thugs who want to prevent civil discourse, not promote it.

Let’s have the media name names, publish photographs, and do interviews of those responsible for approving, even organizing these techniues. And let’s find an investigative journalist – are there many left – to prove these so-called grassroots shouters are, or are not, being paid.

Ironic, eh? Today the left bussed-in a couple hundred members of several unions, including pipefitters and SEIU union members from points as far away as New York State for the Obamassiah’s event in Wakarusa, Indiana. Conservatives came on their own, around 700 of them. Obama’s Secret Service detail also told Wakarusa town manager Tom Roeder, (a republican), his tickets to the event were being revoked.

Even more ironic is President Bush appointed Davis to serve on the five-member Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board back in 2005. I suppose if you’re a conservative in Davis’ book, you have no civil liberties. And we thought all along that civil liberties are supposed to be freedoms that protect you from the government.

I’ll bet Davis can’t wait until all driver’s licenses contain an RFID chip so he can place operatives with RFID readers at tea party protest to gather names of conservative terrorists.

ACORN affiliates don’t want any “crackers” demonstrating against Obamacare it seems. They went batshit crazy on Tea Party activists protesting Obama’s health care takeover plans in Suffolk County NY. Shades of the New Black Panthers voter intimidation last November?

I was going to post this tomorrow, but now seems appropriate. After the successful rally we had two weeks ago downtown, we are organizing another rally. As senators travel to their home states over the legislative recess to hear from their constituents, Americans for Prosperity’s Patients First Bus Tour hit the road yesterday beginning it’s “Hands Off My Healthcare Tour”.

It will be in Fort Wayne the morning of August 17th. More details will be posted here in the coming week.

Mel Simon, owner of mall properties around the country and developer of Indianapolis’ Circle Centre Mall apparently doesn’t like conservatives, or free speech. Loren Spivack operates a kiosk called Free Market Warrior in Concord Mills Mall located in Concord, NC. Simon has decided to kick him and his business out of the mall because items he sells are not “neutral” enough.

Fox News is reporting that ABC News is refusing to air opposing ads during ABC’s Obama-fest prime time special next Wednesday.

The prime time special — called “Questions for the President: Prescription for America” — will be a nationally televised event during which Obama will answer questions presented by audience members selected by ABC News. The network has refused to accept advocacy ads during the hourlong show.

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele accused ABC News and anchor Charles Gibson of making Obama’s case for “nationalized” health care “without any opportunity for opposing views to be aired.

Obama has in effect, hijacked the network. Take that, Fox!

In a fundraising e-mail aimed at raising nearly $100,000 to buy air time for a counterprogram, Steele said the RNC’s request to add its views to the debate during the special was “flatly rejected” by ABC News.

“What are the Democrats and their media allies afraid of? The truth?” he asked in a fundraising letter to supporters. “That is outrageous! And we will not take it!”

[...]

Since the president’s inauguration in January, ABC’s “World News” and “Good Morning America” have aired stories that feature Obama or supporters of his health care plan 55 times compared to 18 appearances by critics of his plan, according to a Business & Media Institute (BMI) analysis released Wednesday.

Does that surprise anyone?

Meanwhile, American’s seem to be souring on Obamanomics.

A little lesson from the past. Had this happened today, Monday would most certainly had been investigated as a right-wing radical trying suppress the two dipshit’s 1st amendment rights. Rumor has it, the two perps were none other than Bill Ayers and one of his left-wing radical pals.

These people could stand to watch this video.
