Are the Eight Republicans Who Voted for Cap and Trade Traitors?

Written by

From: www.jimbyrd.com

“Cap and traitors.” “Traitors.” “Treasonous.” “Turncoats.” “RINOs.” Adjectives abound in describing the eight Republicans who voted for the Waxman-Markey cap and trade bill; the bill passed the House by a razor thin 219-212 vote–a seven vote margin. But is it fair to label them as traitors? Do these eight, who made the passage possible, fit the definition of traitors? Mark Tapscott , Editorial Page Editor of the Washington Examiner, believes that calling the eight Republicans traitors is “beyond the line.” Tapscott, an admirable conservative scribe, has a history of elevating himself above the ad hominem rhetoric of politics, especially the Left’s absence of civility ...

Petraeus: U.S. troops could leave Baghdad soon

Petraeus: U.S. troops could leave Baghdad soon Quite frankly, this is some of the best news I’ve seen in quite some time. The irony is that this isn’t being reported by the main stream media. What a lot of people need to understand, and don’t, is that no one hates war more than a soldier. Although I was never a combat vet, I am a vet, and I’ve had friends, as well as two ex husbands who suffered from PTSD. It really is an awful thing. Those who serve in war and survive often live with tremendous guilt. They suffer. We need to pray ... Read Full Story

Moveon.org Will Now Pay the Full Price for the New York Times General Betray Us Ad

From: mpinkeyes.wordpress.com

In a stunning admission of error, the New York Times has admitted that it should not have given moveon.org a substantial price break to run their General Betray Us ad. In a column entitled, “Betraying Its Own Best Interests,” New York Times Public Editor (ombudsman) Clark Hoyt wrote that the newspaper, in running the MoveOn.org ad for the “standby rate” of $64,575, violated its own written standards. “I think the ad violated The Times’s own written standards, and the paper now says that the advertiser got a price break it was not entitled to,” Hoyt wrote. But, after all, this was too good for ... Read Full Story

Poor Gen. Dave Petraeus. It must be difficult to be a man in his position. On one side he has the perpetrators of the biggest conflict of this generation putting him in charge of said conflict and asking him to give America a warm fuzzy about its progress. On the other side he has a wiser American public, weary and wary of the misinformation, propaganda and all-out deception of a war-hungry administration, futilely grasping and any defense of its poor decisions. MoveOn.org purchased an ad in the New York Times featuring a large photo of the general and a headline that pondered, "General Petraeus, ... Read Full Story

Petraeus in 2012?

With the President (supposedly...

Only six years ago, Senator Faulkner had opposed the war and challenged claims that Iraq posed a terrorist threat. During a censure motion in parliament against the Howard government...

Obama's Nobel Peace Prize already took the cake, so this takes the fudge: MoveOn.org, the Democratic Party's fundraising and PR PAC, is urging all of us to join a global rally, against global warming, on 10.24.2009.
