I can think of MANY reasons why Congressman Bob Etheridge (NC-2) shouldn’t be in office, but THIS video of his ASSAULT of some students who want to ask him some questions is one of the biggest displays of arrogance that I’ve ever seen. Bob Etheridge needs to GO BACK HOME!
Has a flicker of light reached Washington or are they starting to feel a little of the heat. It appears that the communitarian insiders have dropped their plans to ram amnesty down our throats. Seems the plan to legalize millions of potential democratic voters with blanket amnesty simply can not be done in time to save the liberal socialists from the tsunami in November.
The growing anger with the apparent disconnect between the Washington insiders and main street America is driving some restraint in government. Large organized groups will take credit for this and claim that their organizing of the Tea Parties is the driving force in this fiscal and legislative restraint. WRONG!!! It is not the organizing by the large politically affiliated groups but the unaccountability of millions of individuals flying under the radar and being un-trackable that scare the insiders. Certainly I won’t discount the assistance and contribution of the large groups in getting publicity but the large groups will never sustain the effort in the long run. Large groups always descend into being politically co-opted fund raising organizations that eventually accomplish little more than maintaining the status quo.
If the Tea Parties are smart they will stay unorganized and avoid like the plague the Palins, Gingrichs, Armys, and both major parties. Individuals if they have the fortitude will register as independent, unaffiliated, or what ever gets them out of a predictable and trackable group. Not knowing and fear of the unknown is what terrifies the communitarians the most. As soon as the Tea Parties are affiliated under one umbrella, their direction, actions, and impact will be predictable. That will in itself render the group useless.

“What we have seen is a substantial change in mentality among the overseas community in the past two years,” said Jackie Bugnion, director of American Citizens Abroad, an advocacy group based in Geneva. “Before, no one would dare mention to other Americans that they were even thinking of renouncing their U.S. nationality. Now, it is an openly discussed issue.”

This is a tell-tale quote:
Mayor Richard M. Daley wants the ban to remain in place. He says local officials need flexibility to decide how best to protect their communities.
“We have the right for health and safety to pass reasonable laws dealing with the protection and health of the people of the city of Chicago,” Daley said.

Spokane County residents may want to avoid backyard sunbathing in April.
That’s when county Assessor Ralph Baker wants to take a series of high-resolution, low-altitude aerial photographs that promise to make goose pimples visible around the globe.
At least, the photos would show new swimming pools, cabanas, decks and workshops.

They have become a source of great entertainment and amusement to some, the kicker coming at the end of each commercial when the FDA-approved medication’s obligatory litany of warnings and dangerous side effects is recited: “Tell your doctor if….” and “Side effects may include…..” Some of the warnings are mild like diarrhea and constipation, some list serious effects like cancer or tuberculosis, and others admit that sometimes even death can result.

Looks like the warmers are running scared. Now in one of the many attempts to diffuse the climategate scandal in which a number of emails and documents showing manipulation of data, exclusion of unfavorable data, and the systematic suppression of opposing research, the warmers are reaching deep into the excuse barrel and dredging up a bogey man upon which to focus attention. The warmers are now claiming that a spy agency of some dark and mysterious foreign nation is responsible. The reason – to destabilize the Copenhagen summit. Come now boys and girls, put the tin-foil hats away and face facts. What the warmers don’t want to address is the fact that data was manipulated and destroyed, temperature measurement stations were compromised, legitimate research was suppressed when it wasn’t favorable to the political agenda, scientific research standards were ignored, and the peer review process was nothing more than a bunch of chicken little bureaucrats quoting conjecture and obscure anecdotal comments from non-scientists.
The warmers want to claim that one bad scientist doesn’t spoil the whole bunch and to some degree they are right. But, it certainly does call for a complete investigation and reanalysis of the situation before we charge headlong into a destructive global agreement to ruin our economy and way of life. Where there’s smoke there’s also fire and in this case the outcome is so serious that it demands consideration of the facts. We can’t allow chicken little to rule the day when evidence from the past decade indicates that anthropogenic global warming is simply not happening and that any warming we have seen was a natural cyclic occurrence. If the chicken little / warmers expect to control the weather perhaps they are more delusional than we think.
