At the Tea Party in Acacia Park, Colorado Springs today, April 15th, 2010.
A great time had by all. Patriotic, flag waving, REAL Americans.
I've posted a few videos on youtube but this one stood out as a prime example.
We were warned to watch out for liberal infiltrators who might show up with racist and/or
hateful comments to make us look bad towards the media. Here is my shot of just that.

The Overton Window

Overton described a method for moving that window, thereby including previously excluded ideas, while excluding previously acceptable ideas. The technique relies on people promoting ideas even less acceptable than the previous "outer fringe" ideas. That makes those old fringe ideas look less extreme, and thereby acceptable. The idea is that priming the public with fringe ideas intended to be and remain unacceptable, will make the real target ideas seem more acceptable by comparison.
The degrees of acceptance of public ideas can be described roughly as:

  • Unthinkable
  • Radical
  • Acceptable
  • Sensible
  • Popular
  • Policy
The Overton Window is a means of visualizing which ideas define that range of acceptance by where they fall in it, and adding new ideas that can push the old ideas towards acceptance merely by making the limits more extreme.

violence against Republicans

Two of the most popular liberal news sites are calling for violence against Republicans for obstructing the radical agenda of President Barack Obama.

In case the message wasn’t clear, Huffington Post illustrated the call to violence with a wooden baseball bat with Obama’s first name on it in large letters.

Police use acoustic warfare to disperse crowds


Oct 1, 7:10 AM (ET)

By JOE MANDAK
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Police ordered protesters to disperse at the Group of 20 summit last week with a device that can beam earsplitting alarm tones and verbal instructions that the manufacturer likens to a "spotlight of sound," but that legal groups called potentially dangerous.
The device, called a Long Range Acoustic Device, concentrates voice commands and a car alarm-like sound in a 30- or 60-degree cone that can be heard nearly two miles away. It is about two feet square and mounted on a swivel such that one person can point it where it's needed. The volume measures 140-150 decibels three feet away - louder than a jet engine - but dissipates with distance.
Robert Putnam, spokesman for the manufacturer, San Diego-based American Technology Corp., said it's "like a big spotlight of sound that you can shine on people."
"It's not a sonic cannon. It's not the death ray or anything like that," Putnam said. "It's about long-range communications being heard intelligibly."

During the Pittsburgh protests, police used the device to order demonstrators to disperse and to play a high-pitched "deterrent tone" designed to drive people away. It was the first time the device was used in a riot-control situation on U.S. soil, according to American Technology and police.
Those who heard it said authorities' voice commands were clear and sounded as if they were coming from everywhere all at once. They described the "deterrent tone" as unbearable.
Joel Kupferman, who was at Thursday's march as a legal observer for the National Lawyer's Guild, said he was overwhelmed by the tone and called it "overkill."
"When people were moving and they still continued to use it, it was an excessive use of weaponry," Kupferman said.
Witold "Vic" Walczak, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union in Pennsylvania, said the device is a military weapon capable of producing permanent hearing loss, something he called "an invitation to an excessive-force lawsuit."
The operator of the device is usually behind it and not in the path of the focused beam of sound.
Catherine Palmer, director of audiology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, said 140 decibels can cause immediate hearing loss. But there's no way to know if anyone was exposed to sounds that loud without knowing how far away they were, she said.
Putnam and public safety officials said the complaints prove the device worked as designed.
"You have to put your hands over your ears and cover them, and it's difficult to throw stuff," said Ray DeMichiei, deputy director of the city's emergency management agency.
Police said they used the device last Thursday to issue prerecorded warnings to disperse when hundreds of demonstrators, including self-described anarchists, without a protest permit held a march that threatened to turn violent.
Aware of concerns about the volume, police were careful to use it about 12 feet off the ground mounted on a tactical vehicle, so no individual would be directly in its path or too close to it, Assistant Chief William Bochter said.
"The only way anybody gets hurt is if the deterrent is on full blast and they stand directly in front of it," Putnam said.
A regional counterterror task force bought four of the devices from American Technology using $101,000 in federal Homeland Security funds, DeMichiei said. Because the amplified message was prerecorded, police could be sure the protesters heard exactly the instructions police desired and have confidence those in the back of the crowd could hear, Bochter said.
Such devices also have military and commercial applications. Putnam said the primary purpose is to transmit specific orders loudly and clearly.
They have been used against protesters overseas, and police in New York threatened to use one during demonstrations near the Republican National Convention in 2004.
He said the city of San Diego uses them to instruct people to leave large sections of beach after festivals. It has also been used in SWAT operations.
In military applications, it allows ships to hail approaching vessels and determine their intent, the company says. Cargo ships use them to tell pirates that they had been spotted. When the pirates know they have lost the element of surprise, they will not attack, Putnam said.
Putnam said those complaining about the device have probably exposed themselves to sounds nearly as loud at rock concerts, and for longer periods of time. Walczak, the ACLU attorney, isn't buying the analogy.
"People don't flee the front row of a rock concert. Why would they be fleeing here?" Walczak asked. "Because it's loud, it's painfully loud."

Hillary Klinton

Remember this???




We can't do these kind of pictures now though!!!

Right???? Cause we'd be considered racist!!!!

This is all stuff from the likes of the far Leftist Hill Klinton

“Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American.” HK

“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you’re not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration.” HK

Conservatives Copy ‘Rules for Radicals’

Conservatives Copy ‘Rules for Radicals’

By Don | September 18, 2009

Conservative activists have been adopting tactics normally used by the left to fight president Obama and the Democrats with surprising results.

From the Politico read the whole article here

Conservatives are coming for the Democrats on their blind side — the left.



The evidence is everywhere.



At tea parties and town halls, conservative demonstrators oppose health care reform with signs bearing the abortion-rights slogan “Keep your laws off my body” or the line “Obama lies, Grandma dies” — an echo of the “Bush lied, they died” T-shirts worn to protest the Iraq war.



Conservative activists are yelling “Nazi!” and “Big Brother!” where they used to shout, “Nanny state!” and “Big Government!”

New CAFE Standards

President Obama’s New CAFE Standards May Cause More Harm Than Good

NCPA Expert Explains New Standards Will Reduce Consumer Choice, Increase Auto Price and Increase Fatalities

Dallas (May 19, 2009) - The Obama Administration's announcement today of new mileage and pollution standards is a disgraceful attempt to court environmental votes by reducing consumer choice, according to H. Sterling Burnett, Senior Fellow with the National Center for Policy Analysis. Because the government now has so much control over two of the major companies it can extort the industry into not objecting.

President Obama's tightening of national program for higher Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards is part of his plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change and ease U.S. dependence on oil. These new standards include an increase in fuel efficiency targets to 35.5 miles per gallon for new passenger vehicles and light trucks by 2016, four years earlier than required under the 2007 energy bill.

"People have the choice to purchase fuel efficient cars if they want them," Burnett said.

book signing for Michelle Malkin today

Went by the book signing for Michelle Malkin today. Such a long line I couldn't wait. Tried coming back a little later but she had gone. I'll bet not all the people got their books signed. I went up to watch her and get a few pictures. What a pleasant growd and Michelle, jeeze I don't how she did it. Managing to be so nice and polite to everyone. Smiling and pictures with her fans. I only saw one decrementing voice. Some extremist leftist jerk. Ha, what a loser. I sure wanted a chance to talk to her and get my pic with her but no.

9/12 Tea Party

9/12 Tea Party Turnout Numbers and Photos
By thomasjeffersonclubblog

If you haven’t seen anything about the tea party in Washington today, take a look at Michelle Malkin’s site. http://michellemalkin.com/

She’s reporting a turnout estimate of 2 million in Washington. I’ve heard there were 10,000 in Chicago.

Saw a report of 12,000 in Quincy, IL, and more photos of DC.

Clean up the environment

For years the Bush Administration was criticized for not cleaning up enough of the nation's most contaminated waste sites. The O administration has plans for doing even less.
Environmental groups and some democratic lawmakers railed against President George W. Bush's cleanup record. But this time, they're shying away from speaking out.
Golly Mr. Bester Tester I wonder why? Aren't they non-partisan? Don't they view the environment the same now as before or is it just more of the extreme leftist partisan hack politics.

Another activist Judge overturns a voter approved amendment.

Another activist Judge overturns a voter approved amendment. Now my question would be why??? Jeepers, this amendment was opposed by the unions who have a very strong presents in this state. Do you think that could have anything to do with it? I personally believe that the unions can buy and sell anything and anyone they feel like. Do you suppose they were holding something over this judges head to bend her will or just plain bought her off. I do!!
GOD, I wish there was a simpler way to impeach these bastards er (bitches) as this case is.
I wonder who placed this judge on the bench
