Just So You Know What We’re Up Against

Jul 1st, 2010 at 3:54 pm by

A message to all members of Tea Party Nation

Make no mistake about it; Elena Kagan wants to ban books. She thinks there is nothing wrong with banning books based on their political content.  Period.

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=172653

That makes her the most dangerous person ever nominated to the Supreme Court and singularly unfit to sit on the court.

It would be one thing if she had simply said this one time.  She has said it repeatedly.  She has even argued to the United States Supreme Court that political pamphlets could be banned.
As far back as 1996, Kagan argued it might be necessary to ban speech that is offensive to society or to the government!
There are countries that have banned speech that is offensive to the government.  The old Soviet Union, Communist China, Iran, Pakistan, Taliban controlled Afghanistan, Cuba, Nazi Germany and other dictatorships.  Dictatorships ban speech, not America.  But Kagan wants to ban books.   I have a better idea, let’s ban Kagan.
Over the last year and a half, so many times we have called on you to step up to fight for our country and once again, we must do that.  Kagan must be stopped.  Obama may end up as a one term President, but his Supreme Court nominees serve for life!  Kagan could easily be there for 30 years.  Imagine the damage she could do.

Here is what we need you to do:
First, forward this email to everyone you know.  Call your Senators and ask them to do the same.  Tell them that we do not
want a Supreme Court Justice who thinks it’s okay to ban books.
Join us at www.teapartynation.com and discuss this in our forums!
We have all seen the film footage from Nazi Germany, where the Brown Shirts are throwing banned books into the bonfires.  Never could I have believed that an American Supreme Court Justice would ever support the banning of books.  If we do not stop the Kagan nomination, we will have just such a Supreme Court Justice.

Save America.  Stop the Kagan nomination.

Also, our friends at Young Americans for Freedom are holding a rally today at the Supreme Court Building in Washington.  This is the kind of 1st Amendment expression Elena Kagan opposes!

YOUNG AMERICANS TO RALLY AT SUPREME COURT AGAINST KAGAN – 7/1/2010 12:30 pm

Where: U.S. Supreme Court Steps, 1 First Street, NE  Washington, DC 20543
When: Thursday July 1, 2010 12:30 – 1:30 pm  (lunchtime)

Fox News in Chicago.

Yeah, because an informed public is a dangerous public — and less likely to watch Fox News!

Good Advice

Saw this on a Facebook page comment about the Senate refusing to pass the unemployment extensions:

Go home for the holiday and roast your pigs, but watch your backs as it might not be firecrackers. The most dangerous people are the ones who have nothing left to lose.

Probably nothing you didn’t already know, but there’s something about seeing the numbers that’s shocking:

The recession has directly hit more than half of the nation’s working adults, pushing them into unemployment, pay cuts, reduced hours at work or part-time jobs, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.

The economic shock has jolted many Americans into a new, more austere reality, which is likely to have lasting consequences for an economy fueled mostly by consumer spending. More than six in 10 Americans say they have cut down on borrowing and spending, the survey found.

The reason: Nearly half of the survey’s respondents say they are in worse financial shape as a result of the downturn, which destroyed 20 percent of Americans’ wealth.

“We’re going to see much lower consumption going forward,” said Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research. He blames diminished spending on the drop in housing prices. “People who thought they had equity in their homes have seen it disappear,” he said.

The longest and deepest recession since the Great Depression has exacted a punishing toll that continues nearly a year after the economy started growing again. Hardest hit are the 9.7 percent of workers who have been out of a job for an average of nearly six months. Many Americans are delaying retirement and others have lower expectations for their children’s futures, the Pew poll found.

Sinking Oil

Jul 1st, 2010 at 10:13 am by

Are you really that surprised? Did anyone in their right mind believe this company gave a damn about anything but the bottom line?

Testimony before a Senate investigative panel this week is expected to reveal what many have suspected about BP all along; they don’t care about the environment, the animals that are dying, and the lives that are being destroyed by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

In a shocking interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on June 29th, Allegiance Capitol Corporation V.P. Fred McCallister said that BP is deliberately sinking oil with the toxic chemical disbursant Corexit, to hide the size of the oil spill. By sinking the oil before it can be collected, BP won’t have to pay fines on it.

McCallister said, “Everybody in Europe, where the standard practice is to raise the oil and collect it, is scratching their heads, and quite honestly laughing at what’s happening in the Gulf.” He added, “Everyone is looking at us and wondering why we’re allowing this to happen.”

McCallister is set to appear before a Senate investigative panel on Thursday and testify that BP’s only interests regarding the Deepwater Horizon spill is protecting their own financial interests. His statements explained why BP has been refusing offers of help from additional foreign skimmers.
