Keyboard Militia takes on a spy-vs.-spy tone with this one, but it's still an interesting inside-baseball story of political intrigue: is a "top democrat operative" in St. Louis?
A story we have been following here for the past week involves an unidentified black man from Washington D.C., loud, and arrogant as described by others on American Airlines Flight AA401 arriving on Sept. 18th. More details of this man are found on the St.Louis Tea Party website:On Saturday evening, we confirmed that a top Democrat operative arrived in St. Louis on Friday afternoon to “deal with” Tea Parties. Additional details have emerged.* The operative, an African-American man, arrived on American Airlines flight 401
* The operative boarded flight AA401 in Washington, DC
* He wore all black—sweatshirt, sweats—and a fraternity ball cap bearing Greek letters
* He is working with Valerie Jarrett, the committed communist and Obama’s “brain”
So what's going on? It would be pretty funny if this guy turns out to just be a local activist. Fun times!
Background information on the people behind the undercover ACORN-brothel videos that are destroying that perfidious organization. Associated Press writer Justin Pritchard years for a Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy angle but just can't seem to find one.
But as far back as 2006 - well before the videos became a national sensation and conservative rallying cry - the fresh-faced O'Keefe and Giles connected with a pair of Washington conservative institutions that boast programs training ideological journalists.Now, due to coordinated promotion of the undercover sting footage by influential players in the conservative media, Giles and O'Keefe have gone from part of the pack to movement superstars.
Nice lede... too bad Pritchard didn't actually find any information to support his belief in unusual "coordination".
Woman at town hall meeting waves a $20 bill and demands that if her Congressman wants to take her money and give it to someone else that he come down from his stage and take it himself.
I wrote shortly after his passing, Ted Kennedy has the blood of millions of babies on his hands -- as the 1971 version of Ted Kennedy would certainly agree.
Kennedy displayed an eloquent pro-life position in 1971, prior to Roe v. Wade, when he wrote a letter to Catholic League member Tom Dennelly.“While the deep concern of a woman bearing an unwanted child merits consideration and sympathy, it is my personal feeling that the legalization of abortion on demand is not in accordance with the value which our civilization places on human life. Wanted or unwanted, I believe that human life, even at its earliest stages, has certain rights which must be recognized—the right to be born, the right to love, the right to grow old," he wrote.
“On the question of the individual’s freedom of choice there are easily available birth control methods and information which women may employ to prevent or postpone pregnancy. But once life has begun, no matter at what stage of growth, it is my belief that termination should not be decided merely by desire," he added.
“When history looks back to this era it should recognize this generation as one which cared about human beings enough to halt the practice of war, to provide a decent living for every family, and to fulfill its responsibility to its children from the very moment of conception," he concluded.
Remember: abortion is a multi-billion dollar industry that gives heavily to the Democrats. People who are quick to link Halliburton and Exxon to Republicans should recognize that both parties are influenced by corporate money.
