Hold your hats…. did the Journal really say this?

Editorial: Integrity and credibility gone, McGee Jr. must go

The alderman still refuses to talk straight about the unprecedented threats to kill his out-of-wedlock baby’s mother in court, his multiple perjuries in court (email addresses, non-romantic relationships), his homophobia displayed by calling two teenage girls “lesbians” because they refused to talk with him or calling people “faggot” on multiple occasions, his possession of two social security numbers, his arrest in Wauwatosa, his shakedown of 6th district businesses (on tape) , and his attempt to intimidate witnesses against him from inside the jail. Mayor Tom Barrett should call on him to step down. Otherwise, voters should demand it.

Of course, that’s NOT what was in the Journal. They can apparently decide to call for the ouster of the United States Attorney General, but can’t quite come to the conclusion that McGee is a bad, bad man.

Oh, and by the way, to the headline/editorial writers at the Journal Sentinel… The firing of the federal prosecutors is NOT unprecedented. Nice try.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi today defended the Architect of the Capitol’s refusal to permit use of the word “God” on official certificates enclosed with flags flown over the U.S. Capitol.

Dayton-area GOP Rep. Michael Turner and more than 100 of his Republican colleagues sent a letter to Pelosi last week after an Eagle Scout in his district asked that a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol be sent to his grandfather with a certificate inscribed with the message: “In honor of my grandfather Marcel Larochelle, and his dedication and love of God, country, and family.”

The boy and his father contacted Turner’s office after noticing the word “God” was left off the certificate included with the flag. Outraged upon learning that the acting Architect of the Capitol, Stephen T. Ayers, won’t allow religious expressions on flag certificates, Turner sent a protest letter to Pelosi.

A little lesson on how this works. You want a flag that was flown over the US Capitol. You order them by contacting a Senator or a Representative. It’s an interesting little side business they have there in DC. You buy the flag THEN they fly it for you. You can also request an inscription for the certificate of authenticity. Your Senator or Representative vets your message to make sure it’s appropriate, then forwards the request to the Architect of The Capitol (Stephen T. Ayers) to complete the procedure.

This is how we are where we are. The AOC has taken it upon himself to decide that the word “God” can’t appear on the certificates. He now has the backing of the House Speaker. This is abject and detestable. For the life of me I can’t understand on what basis they would make this decision.

This is not a separation of church and state (yes, it’s made up, I know) issue. This is a message the CONSTITUANTS THEMSELVES ask for. There is nothing “forced” on anyone here.

Here is what makes this most despicable to me.

Pelosi said the architect’s policy was adopted because “people were asking for statements that not only were religious, beyond using the word God, but political as well.”

What a pathetic liberal cop-out.

First, the very notion that the word “God” should be treated the same as political speech is highly offensive to me. Invoking your faith in God is not political. But we have a bunch of idiots that don’t want to make a decision on what is and what isn’t appropriate so we take the easy route and say, “no God”. This is the same mentality that causes kids to be suspended for bringing plastic butter knives to school with their lunch.

Second, SO FREAKING WHAT?!?!?!?!?? It’s a flag flown over the US CAPITOL BUILDING!!! Is there any place in this country that is more “political”? It’s MY MESSAGE. I’m the one requesting it. Why can’t it say what I want it to say? It’s my flag and my certificate being prepared for me by someone that technically works FOR ME!

I would hope the AOC would take a walk down the street to the National Archives and take a gander at the Bill of Rights. Specifically the First Amendment:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

I don’t go to church every Sunday. I am, however, sick and tired of the attacks on the religious institutions of this country by our government. This may not be the biggest issue in Congress at this time, but it sure as heck is a great place to start reversing this anti-God trend the left seems so proud of.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former President Jimmy Carter on Wednesday denounced Vice President Dick Cheney as a “disaster” for the country and a “militant” who has had an excessive influence in setting foreign policy.

“You know he’s been a disaster for our country,” Carter said.

Not to sound like a third-grader here, but the old saying, “It takes one to know one” couldn’t be any more apropos.

A few years back, the city of San Fran spent MILLIONS of dollars to make sure that homeless people were allowed to stay homeless. They’ve fought anti-panhanding laws and other efforts to try to get their growing homeless population under control. Now, they have LOTS of homeless people and it looks like the homeless are moving into the neighborhoods and the homeowners are becoming a bit less tolerant.

‘Enough is enough,’ S.F. says of homeless
Residents of a famously liberal city appear to be changing views

San Francisco - the liberal, left-coast city conservatives love to mock - could be undergoing a transformation when it comes to homeless people. Although the city would still be a poor choice for a pep rally for the war in Iraq, indications are that residents have had it with aggressive panhandlers, street squatters and drug users.

Consider the case of David Kiely, who has lived in the South of Market area for 18 years. He bought a home when prices were low and now lives there with his wife, Jenny, and their three boys, ages 7, 4 and 1. Kiely insists “we’re not some white, yuppie parents saying we can’t take this.” In fact, he says, they donate to programs for homeless people at Glide Memorial Methodist Church and the food bank at St. Anthony Dining Room. But he’s finally saying “enough is enough.”

“I don’t expect it to be Cow Hollow or Pacific Heights,” he says. “But the other day Jenny is bringing the kids back from the park, and some guy is standing on the corner throwing up on himself.”

Trent Rhorer, executive director of San Francisco’s Human Services Agency, is at ground zero for homelessness concerns. He’s heard it from local residents at meetings, he’s read the polls, and he noted the huge response to Chronicle columns about the homeless people and intravenous drug users in Golden Gate park. Like others, he thinks there’s been a change in the way San Franciscans think the homelessness problem should be approached.

“Maybe,” Rhorer says, “you just need a guy with a badge standing over them and saying, you can’t stay there any more.”

Read the entire article. It shows the pathetic failures of liberal social policy. It shows how quick liberals are to change their tune when they themselves become inconvenienced.

It’s hard for these libs to admit that their approach has failed and that a more conservative policy would have been better to adopt. In fact, they won’t admit it. They want to make sure that you understand that they still hate George Bush and that they aren’t changing that much. Here is the leftie line of the week:

“Maybe there has been an epiphany,” says David Latterman, president of Fall Line Analytics, a local market research firm. “People have realized they can hate George Bush but still not want people crapping in their doorway.”

It would be asking too much of them to admit that if they adopted conservative principles to begin with, they wouldn’t have had those people crapping in their doorway to begin with

There won’t be many posts again for a few days. I’m doing quite a bit of traveling over the next few days. Between comedy and job interviews, I’m not finding much time to collect my thoughts and put them in writing. Should be back to normal in few days.

The other project that has been taking my free time up is working on putting together a video studio in my basement. It’s kind of funny because when you look at the video it looks like a giant TV studio…. but if you see if from the other end, it’s just a 10?x12? green screen surround by boxes of Christmas decorations, weight and tool benches, and a hot water heater. Amazing what you can do with computers and a lot of lights.
