You Tube Debate Question

Tom Gresham has a question for the upcoming Republican YouTube Debate.



Out of more than 20,000 gun control laws... If you are elected, what are the first 3 gun control laws that you would work to get repealed?

Fred takes aim at Rudy on 2nd

Fred takes on Rudy and the New York gun grabber judiciary.
His primary target seems to be the activist judiciary, but Rudy is straight downrange.

When to give up?

Liberal pundit Susan Estrich, said on national tv last week, "How do you know when it is time to give up?" She was talking about the mine accident in the news, but this innocuous question is a demonstration of the thought process that the far left uses for EVERYTHING. War, freedom, resisting corruption, the second ammendment, and well, you name it and the left is willing to give it up. The only real question they deal with thoughtfully is when to give up.

The nutroots on Daily Kooz have a hatred for this country that isn't even superficially masked, but blatant and obvious, despite their claims to the contrary and their love of the liberty that they claim they don't have, yet which continues to keep them from being executed had the liberty and freedom been actually taken away from Americans, as they claim. This anti-American video, (Caution, vulgar liberal hate language) gleefully submitted by its creator over at the holy halls of liberalism run wild, is a prime example of what the far left really thinks about the United States of America. The creator, AfterThought, one of the Koos groupies, had this to say about his video. "I wrote and recorded the lyrics and created the video. It wouldn't have happened without DailyKos." And still they wonder why we call them the nutroots?

The conspiracy "troofers" are not going to be happy on Saturday evening, when the History Channel airs "9/11 Conspiracies, Fact or Fiction?" which will actually allow educated countering to the nutjob theories. Part of the description of the program..."Each conspiracy argument is countered by a variety of experts in the fields of engineering, intelligence and the military. The program also delves into the anatomy of such conspiracies and how they grow on the Internet."

Illinois Republican Straw Poll

It was Republican Day today at the Illinois State Fair and the Presidential straw poll results were announced by Illinois Republican Party Chairman, Andy McKenna, at 4:30, on the stage at the Director's Lawn. I'm not sure if it was the state party or one of the campaigns that provided the cold beer today, but it was a nice touch. Thanks.

The Mitt Romney supporters and Ron Paul supporters were in attendance at the announcement of the straw poll results in the greatest numbers, judging by the signs carried by Paul's people, and the "Time For Change" signs and t-shirts worn by the Romney folks. I saw only one "I'm with Fred" sign, but Thompson still took second place a percentage point ahead of Ron Paul.

Mitt Romney had a big win here in Illinois, with more votes than Ron Paul and Fred Thompson combined. Mitt's son, Craig Romney, was warmly welcomed onstage after the results announcement, and he graciously thanked everyone for participating.

McCain was run over somewhere in the "middle of the road," but still finished well ahead of the most conservative candidate, Duncan Hunter, and getting the same percentage as Huckabee and Brownback combined.

Rudy, the liberal republican, (little L and little R) came in 4th.

Tom Tancredo finished up in the rear of the pack with less than one percent.

Above the law

From The Southern
SPRINGFIELD (LEE)_Gov. Rod Blagojevich announced Tuesday an end-run on lawmakers in an attempt to keep his troubled plan for universal health care alive.
For months, the governor has been unable to convince the General Assembly to back his push to expand health insurance programs.
On Tuesday, as part of a secret budget deal with Senate President Emil Jones, Blagojevich said he would use his veto powers to cut an estimated $500 million from the state's recently approved spending plan in order to finance his own health insurance program.
Critics questioned whether Blagojevich's move is legal under the state constitution.
''It reminds me of a Steven Seagal movie called `Above the Law,''' said state Sen. Bill Brady, R-Bloomington. ''It looks like he's trying to circumvent the constitution.''... read more

Illinois citizens armed with combs and whistles

State Police recommending that citizens use keys, combs and vomit as "self defense" and Springfield providing free whistles for "protection" in parks is making Illinois a national joke in 48 states, and is clearly an invitation for (more) thugs to move to Illinois where they can find legally unarmed victims, gleefully provided by Jesse Jackson, the city of Chicago, and many of our legislators. Also, as a bonus for coming to Illinois, they can also benefit from Blagojevich's generous state sponsored healthcare, housing and welfare programs for the next generation of thugs.
