Dear Rosie

Let's make it perfectly clear..
The real child in the Rosie O'Donnel and Elizabeth Hasselback feud was Rosie.
Children draw mustaches on pictures.. and adults fire assistants that do such things.. if they really are sincere. Instead Rosie supposedly quite.. I am guessing she was FINALLY FIRED.
PLEASE bring back Star Jones... While she is a liberal she understands she is not perfect.. and does NOT think that she is better than everyone on the view.
Problem is that Rosie thinks she is better than Elizabeth, and better than the rest of the world.
Rosie in case you do not get it... NO ONE CARES that you are a FAT, Godless LESBIAN. (Your words not mine) No one cares really what you say.. because you ONLY say it to get a rise out of people.
Rosie, you are FAT! Rosie, you are a Lesbian! Rosie, you are a jerk!
You made a statement that was overtly and intentionally borderline in calling our troops terrorists.. whether that was your intention or not, it is NOT Elizabeth's job to bail you out or to defend you. After all YOU have not defended anything she has said on the "View" OH WAIT.. Elizabeth does not SAY things that people can misconstrue as unpatriotic. She is intelligent and articulate and that is why Ms. Walters chose her as the 4th person on the "VIEW".
She defends her positions well and does not go out of her way to insult anyone and shows respect to all of our leaders.. including the Kerry's and the Clinton's while you show no respect to any person who is not a liberal.
Rosie the difference between YOU and Elizabeth is that Elizabeth is a caring decent human being and you are just a bully.
That's My Take on It.
Jim Dicken

Good Bye Rosie...!!!!!!!!!1

I just heard that View Host Rosie O'Donnell will be leaving for good.. that she will NOT be on any more shows. Now whether she quit over the blow up with Elizabeth or she she got fired, I don't know as yet.. Still I had intended to take her to task over her comments concerning Jerry Fallwell.
Rosie said on the view that she had a hard time believing that any one but his family felt sorrow for his loss.
This is typical of the Ultra Liberal. If they do not think like you they are better off dead.
Ultra Conservatives though will mourn the loss of any person as well as the loss of their soul.
While I did not like Mr. Fallwell I did respect him, what he created, and his Christian beliefs. Mr. Falwell while not happy with the Homosexual lifestyle and did not want it displayed or given privilege, did not hate Homosexuals. Yes he was overly judgemental. Still he would not have walked away from a Liberal and had any person asked for help Mr. Falwell would have helped them.
You can not say that about a liberal.
I should know I was once a liberal and I had that High and Mighty attitude and find myself fighting it every now and then.
America will be better off with Rosie off the view.
America will not be better off with Rosie off the view.
Hard to chose. Get her obnoxious self centered view off the air, or keep her on so that we can see the attitude on a daily basis and have a knowledge of what liberals are up to..
I will admit I took joy in the news that Rosie is GONE! I even rejoiced.. but the difference between me and Rosie is.. I KNOW I AM WRONG TO TAKE JOY IN HER LEAVING.. just like she was wrong to take joy in the leaving of Reverend Fallwell.
That is my take on it.

Watch this and tell my you do not support the troops.

An Irrelevant President try's to save his legacy!

In the 1980's Jimmy Carter ignored the serious problem in Iran and allowed a Fundamentalist Freak take over the country of Iran. While the Shah of Iran was not the nicest man in the world, he was fighting what we now know was the worst enemy ever to face any civilized nation.
The taking of Iran by extremists ended with the destruction of Iran. The teachers and educational system were destroyed and rebuilt in the image of the Wahabi Sect. Its goal to destroy the "Great Satan".
This legitimized the movement and gave it a home.
This was the beginning of the world wide development of terror by Islamic Extremists.
In other words... Jimmy Carter started us down the road and is now trying desperately to lay the blame off on ANY one.
I feel sorry for our Elderly Statesman. His comments about this country, Tony Blair and the Bush Administration show a severe problem with logic. The world has changed. Our ways of dealing with terror have to change post 9-11. Another attack similar to 9-11 could cripple the economy, and destroy the nation and the world economies. This is the ultimate goal of Ossama Bin Laden.
With the world in chaos, Ossama and his fundamentalist religion offer hope to people with no hope.
If the world and Mr. Carter fail to understand this then only time stands between the world domination of Fundamentalist Ideology.
If this occurs, people like Mr. Carter will be the first to die at the hands of the extremists. The people who make it possible for Ossama to defeat this country will be the first targets of the purge in Christianity and non Islamic Religions. It is what happened in Iran after the Shah of Iran was deposed, by the Ayatollah Homeini.
Mr. Carter was an irrelevant president in our history EXCEPT for his giving birth to the current Islamic Fundamentalist Ideology by allowing the Ayatollah to take Iran in the first place.
Were Iran still in the US sphere or influence, the attacks of 9-1- most likely would not have occurred. Sadam Hussein would likely still be working with the US instead of plotting our demise only to end with his own.
Mr. Carter is desperate to NOT be the WORST president ever, and will do nothing short of shaming himself to try to put his mistakes and the resulting mess on to a Republican Administration.
I voted for Mr. Carter 2 times. Looking back I know now I was wrong. Age has made me realize what I learned in College was true. Extremist Muslim fundamentalists are evil and are willing to kill everyone on the planet in Honor or Allah. If we do not kill them first they will kill us.
Mr. Carter has never learned this lesson. I believe if he should ever meet Mr. Bin Laden in person he might change his mind.
That is my take on it.

Its A Shame.. but this is TRUE!

Subject: Fw: Teaching New Math

Last week, I purchased a burger and fries at McDonalds for $3.58.

The counter girl took my $4.00 and I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and
gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies.
While looking at the screen on her register, I sensed her discomfort
and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the
manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she
stood there and cried.

Why do I share this story with you? Because of the evolution in
teaching math since the 1950s:

Teaching Math In 1950

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of
production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1960

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of
production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1970

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of
production is $80. Did he make a profit?

Teaching Math In 1980

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of
production is $80 and his profit is $20 Your assignment: Underline the
number 20.

Teaching Math In 1990

A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and
inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the
preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of
$20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class
participation after answering the question: How did the birds and
squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are
no wrong answers.)

Liberals being INTOLERANT??

While I did not necessarily like the Reverend Jerry Fallwell, I did respect his zealous defense of his beliefs. Beliefs he was entitled to by the Constitution of the United States.
Today Rosie O'Donnel called the death of Reverend Fallwell, no great loss except maybe to his own family, and made a face.
Dear Rosie,
If only it had been you instead?
Ms. O'Donnel is very outspoken but has no tolerance for anyone who does not believe EXACTLY as she feels they should.
While Reverend Fallwell may have had rather conservative views and may not have represented the BEST ideas of conservatism, he did LIVE his values and work his values. His Liberty college was a testament to this.
Shame on Ms. O'Donnel and not for the first time.
Imagine a Liberal being intolerant of the beliefs of others.. what a 2 faced BITCH.
What a Big Fricking surprise.
While I do not wish death on any one, Ms.O'Donnel would have been a far better choice than Reverend Fallwell in my opinion.
That is my take on it.

The Ant and The Grasshopper.. Updated Version

OLD VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building hishouse and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in thecold.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!


---------------------------------

MODERN VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.

CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and
everybody cries when they sing, "It's Not Easy Being Green."

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton stage several demonstrations in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome."

Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's
sake, after which Al Sharpton riles up the crowd even more.

Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry
King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and
both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.

Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.

The ant loses the case.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't
maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote.

Channel 41 Proves Limbaugh RIGHT!

Channel 41, WDRB General Manager made the following comments on air recently.

Disaster is Bad Business (5/1/07)

Last week, a panel of experts recommended lowering the water level of Lake Cumberland an additional 30 feet because they believe not doing so makes it more likely that the seeping Wolf Creek Dam will fail.

Several people involved in the area’s recreational industry oppose this idea. They say the threat of a dam failure is exaggerated, and that lowering the lake level even more would hurt their businesses.

Well, they’re probably right about business being hurt. But it’s pretty clear the danger is real, and I have a hard time balancing their business interests against the billions of dollars and many lives that would be lost if that dam ever does fail.

This situation seems typical of America’s current attitude that no one should ever have to suffer for the greater good, and that sacrifice is for saps.

Our parents didn’t see it that way. They faced some of the century’s greatest threats and paid the necessary price to overcome them. It wasn’t easy, wasn’t fair, and wasn’t cheap, but they did it.

It’s only natural to act in one’s own self-interest. But sometimes, that self-interest needs to give way to bigger needs. And I hope the marina owners around Lake Cumberland understand that.

What’s your opinion? Call and tell us at 588-2433.

I’m Bill Lamb, and that’s my…Point of View.

Since Channel 41 has a policy of rebuttal, I contacted the station and was offered time. However in looking at the entire issue and the ramifications of it, and importance to an area of the state that is going to be devastated by this economically more than a minute was needed.
I contacted Channel 41 and asked Mr. Foushee, the PR person who handles requests if Mr. Lamb had read any of the reports by the Corps of Engineers, or the independent report. Surprisingly, ( I am being humorous here) Mr. Lamb had NOT read according to Mr. Foushee any of the engineering reports. I asked Mr. Lamb and Mr. Foushee to meet me for a Lunch paid for by me in order to bring them up to speed on why folks around the damn had asked the Corps to hold the lake at current levels. I was refused.
Here is the letter I got:
Just to make sure, I checked with Mr. Lamb, and he’ll be unable to have lunch with you -- primarily because his schedule is extremely tight, and the majority of his lunches also double as business meetings that deal with matters of more immediate concern regarding the operation of our stations. While he understands your disagreement with him on this issue, it should be obvious that Lake Cumberland is not the number one issue with which he has to contend. He had his opinion, he expressed it, and he’s extended you the opportunity to reply with an equal time rebuttal.
The fact that you’ve chosen not to do so doesn’t obligate him to meet personally with you. If it did, I feel safe in saying he’d never be able to carry out his job because of endless meetings with people who disagree with his editorials but lack the motivation to write and present one of their own.
If this changes your mind and you’d like to accept our invitation to reply on-air, I can still make that happen. Just let me know.

Rush Limbaugh talks daily about the Drive By Media.
This is an excellent example of what he is talking about.
Mr. Lamb has sensationalized an issue without having the slightest bit of information about the dam, its engineering, I am guessing he does not even know the history of the dam and its previous leaks. He also ignores a report that was published by the Corps of Engineers itself in January of 2007 that selected the 680 lake level that the Business Owners are asking for.
He has chosen to condemn the marina owners, motel and hotel owners, guides, and other businesses that depend on the lake for their living.
Let us make no mistake here.
Families will be destroyed by this.
People will lose their homes.
Jobs, businesses and communities are going to be damaged and Mr. Lamb could take the time to comment, but would not take the time to learn the issues.

HERE Are the issues:
The dam began to fail almost immediately upon completion in the 1950's. IN the 60's a crater formed and muddy flow below the dam signaled severe problems. The dam was built over a Carst Geology, (Carst meaning cave) water was leaking under the Dirt portion of the dam. The Corps of Engineers had failed to properly position the dam, and to deal with caverns found when doing the original building of the dam. The dam was within weeks of failing at that time, if not days. Grouting began and emergency repairs were undertaken. IN the early 70's more severe measures were taken to repair the dam
To repair the dam the lake was lowered and a second dam was built inside the first. This second dam was built by drilling into the bedrock below the Carst Geology to solid rock.
The second dam was built to within 20 or 30 feet of the concrete dam, when funds ran out. The leaks stopped but the second dam was never finished, leaving a 20 to 30 foot section that could still leak. Piezometers were buried in the dam to track any leakage or movement. In the last few years more water and movement were detected.
Due to this the Corps of Engineers was required to make the dam a priority for repair. At the same time several dams down stream of Lake Cumberland also began to fail including the dam directly below the lake on the Cumberland River in Tennessee. Should both dams go at the same time the city of Nashville would be endangered.
Because of this situation many people wanted the lake lowered drastically to prevent any issue of failure.
NOW comes the bizarre part.
The Corps engineers know that this dam at Lake Cumberland will take months to fail if not longer. Why? Because the dam only has a problem with the area where the 2 dams were not joined. The leak is currently small and is relegated to that one area. While a breach could occur, it would take days for the water to make its way through the smaller area, any rise would be gradual at first and plenty of warning would be available to get people out of the way of any rising waters. There would be damage to low lying buildings.
Then there began to be other safety issues caused by lowering the dam too much.
Now comes the part I have trouble explaining...
Because the lowered lake is steeper, a small 1" rain that would normally raise the lake maybe half a foot to a foot, at the lowered level the lake would rise double that. Lower the lake below 650 and the change is even more dramatic. The very lowering of the lake would put changing pressures ON the dam at the very place that pressure is the most critical.
So the COE in a report detailed this information. This report came out in January of 2007.
This is the information that led many around the lake to ask for the 680 level instead of the 650 or lower 580 level.
At 680 the lake is big enough to take the water in and have no major changes in pressure. At 680 some power can still be generated. At 680 water intake valves for all cities on the lake are still able to take in water, businesses still can get water to run. However most of the boat ramps would be out of the water.
Thanks to the Governor of Kentucky, those ramps will be in place by Memorial Day.
The most recent Engineering Survey suggested that the lake be lowered another 30 feet. Businesses around the lake are asking that the higher level of 680 be used.
They are NOT asking this out of greed, but out of self preservation.
Current Grouting efforts have slowed the deterioration of the dam.
Any Dam failure would take weeks if not longer, simply because of the previous efforts. There is no need shown in the new report, and the engineers were given parameters for a TOTAL failure of the dam to err on the side of safety.
While some engineers are for a lower lake level, they are forced to deal with this dam and make plans based on a Worst Case Scenario, that is unlikely to occur. They are erring on the side of safety.. However the Corps of Engineers has determined that the safest thing to do is hold the dam at 680 through the summer and to see if the grouting effort has worked.. then to finish the rest of the second dam over the next 5 to 7 years.

Mr. Lamb
You may be right, in that the lake should be lowered for the greater good.
However the lake is currently in no danger and there are circumstances that YOU are not aware of and which make lowering the dam an issue as well.... and they have NOTHING to do with economics.
It is a confusing issue and the reality is that the dam is NOT in imminent danger and the Corps believes the situation is in hand. Do we for the greater good of the people below the dam lower it and destroy the lives of people in 3 counties or for the hold the dam at 680 and hope that the GREATER good is served.
With the situation as it stands, I believe the Corps of Engineers has made the right choice and the businesses areound the dam are doing nothing more than supporting that decision. The grouting is working. The dam is currently in no danger of PARTIAL Failure, and if the Corps is correct in its assessment lowering the dam could pose MORE of a problem at lower levels than at higher levels.
This is NOT as Mr. Lamb suggests, people failing to be willing to suffer for the greater good. This is not an enemy attacking our country. It is a dam with a leak. A leak that has been for the time being slowed if not stopped.
Mr. Lamb has escalated a small problem with the Wolf Creek Dam into an issue of such importance that he portrays these people as unwilling to sacrifice.
OK What is Mr. Lamb willing to sacrifice?
Some Time? NO he is unwilling to read the reports to understand the situation.
Some Money? No he is not willing to do anything to help the businesses around the lake by detailing their plight and encouraging tourism to the area.
Some Sacrifice? NO. Mr. Lamb has nothing to lose on this issue.
It is very easy to sit in an office in Louisville and ask for people to bow to the greater good. It is another thing to actually DO SOMETHING for the greater good and Mr. Lamb has failed the test himself.
The "Greatest Generation" made sacrifices of time, money and their lives. Mr. Lamb is not willing to sacrifice 30 minutes and a free lunch.
Thats My Take on it.

Mistakes were made.. But!

In every war mistakes are made.
The United States made mistakes in the invasion of Iraq. Other nations contributed to the disaster that is Iraq.
We should have invaded with more men.
We should have invaded with better equipment.
We should have left the Iraqi Military in tact.
Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20.

IN World War 2 Thousands of men died in a practice for the D-day invasion.
Elements of the D-day invasion were mishandled killing thousands more.
We still won. We went past the mistakes, we learned from them, and we WON.

Every day lately we hear about more pending attacks by Al Queda from the Press. The same press that wants us out of Iraq, but is telling us that Al Queda is more of a threat. Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and England are all reporting more Al Queda activity. If this comes about what will be the result?
Will the world fold. Demand we leave Iraq and give Al Queda a victory?
Yes Al Queda.. not Iraq, Not the Sunni's Not the Shiite's but Al Queda.
There is no civil war. What there is, is anarchy that is centered on attacks by Al Queda on both sides in order to foment more anarchy.
This is how Al Queda will take the world. They will create anarchy and hatred.
They are dividing the world and the United States.
Ossama must have been a student of Abraham Lincoln. A nation divided against itself can not stand. A nation that does not stand for the war it is fighting will not win.
We have forgotten 9-11, we have forgotten the terrible price or terror around the world and all of it started by Islamic Fundamentalists over the last 35 years.

It is not Un Patriotic to be against a war. It is UN-Patriotic to stand up in congress and state unequivocally that the war is lost. There is a difference between free speech and un-patriotic speech. Mr. Ried has no clue what the difference is an neither does Mr. Horne.
Thats my take on it.
Jim Dicken

A Nation Divided Against Itself can not Stand.

Quotes from the Courier Journal..."Louisvillian Andrew Horne, a retired Marine Reserve lieutenant colonel, and Southern Indiana resident Sam Schultz, a former sergeant with the Indiana National Guard, were among those videotaped.

In his interview, Horne blasted the Bush administration for what he called "criminal" actions in Iraq and for lying when officials claimed they were listening to the troops and military leaders on the ground.

"I think it is important to get the word out that vets in the military aren't in lock step with the president," said Horne, a lawyer who served in Iraq and in the Persian Gulf war. "

And another vet.. Sgt. John Bruhns says in his two-minute video that the war in Iraq is being waged "against an unidentifiable enemy." End Quotes from the Courier...

One man says we are the wrong country to be fighting in Iraq, another says we should not be there because we do not know who the enemy is.

What nation should have gone into Iraq and taken out Sadam Hussein?
This is a man who was determined to attack our country. He was telling the world he had WMD.. HIS countrymen were telling him he had WMD, the CIA, NSA and DIA were handcuffed because of the lack of intelligence on Iraq, and that was NOT due to anything Bush or his administration did. (10 Billion Cut from Intelligence during the Clinton Administration AFTER WTC ATTACK 1)

So tell me what country should have gone into Iraq. Sadam was killing Hundreds of Thousands of his own people. He was trying to find a way to attack the United States, had attempted the assasination of a President... and the UN was throwing sanctions at him with one hand while on the other giving him the cash he needed to buy the weapons he wanted to attack this country with.. (Khofi Anan and his son were taking millions from Sadam for oil sales that were illegal.)

I do not understand?
Please tell me how humiliating men who killed and maimed thousands.. raped and tortured many more, how that is illegal. Abu Grahib was no worse than a FRATERNITY HAZING I went through. I am not one bit sorry for the treatment of those men. I was treated WORSE in High School Gym class.

Bottom line.. This country is not able to win a war any more.
Thanks to the Horne's of the world we will never again be able to win a war. When a nation is at war, it must be UNITED.. A Nation divided against itself can not win. (Abraham Lincoln) The real shame is that Ossama Bin Laden knows this. We are NOT at war with a faceless enemy. We are at war with an Islamic Fundamentalist organization that has spread itself across the world. No sector of society is safe any more.. BUT if we leave Iraq.. if we accept defeat as Traitor Ried suggests.. then we will have Al Queda attacking here.. They are here already.

WE as a nation can not fight a war with only 50% of the population for it.
We can not win with 60% or 70% or 80%. We have to be a nation UNITED to win a war on terror and the Hornes of the world will cause our defeat.
It is time for sacrifice by our country. To spend the money and put forth the effort to win THIS war. Win it NOW, for failure surely means a hundred years of anarchy around the world. Anarchy is the friend of terror. It breeds more terrorists and more anarchy.

Geez Reverend Coleman

Just about the time I THINK I can support Reverend Louis Coleman of the Justice Resource Center in Shelby County Kentucky, he does another STUPID THING.
Dear Reverend Coleman,
Its NOT ALWAYS BECAUSE OF RACE...
Reverend Coleman and his gang of thugs was outside Jeff Ruby's Steak House today.
Why? Well it seems that Jeff asked O. J. Simpson to leave his establishment during the Derby Week Festivities. Jeff apparently has a severe dislike of the way O. J. Simpson has treated the Goldman's and the Brown's since his trial.
Reverend Coleman,
Mr. Ruby has the right to ask a person of Ill Repute to leave his establishment. The fact that Mr. Simpson is black had nothing to do with his being asked to leave. He was asked to leave because he committed a heinous act and has profitted from it. Had Mel Ignatow tried to eat at Jeff Ruby's and been asked to leave would you have protested then? (For anyone out side the Louisville community, Mel is a guy who got away with Murder much like Mr. Simpson.. only after he was found innocent they found pictures he took at the murder scene in his old house..)
I personally feel that EVERYONE should turn Mr. Simpson away. I feel we should make the City of Louisville a SIMPSON FREE ZONE. Mr. Simpson is not wanted here, and we should say so.
We have enough murderers and felons flocking to Louisville any way and to have one more non-convicted murderer running around is not needed. Who knows when O.J. Simpson might decide to kill another Blonde? We don't need a slow white bronco chase here in Louisville.
Reverend Coleman,
You have again proven that your only motivation is SELF Promotion. You do not care one bit about black rights unless YOU can be involved. You are not involved in the greater good of this community only your own greater good.
Thats My take on it..

Liberal Democrats Are Out To Silence Conservatives!

URGENT! U.S. House Judiciary Committee to vote on May 15, and full House of Representatives on May 22, on "Meehan Amendment" to regulate grassroots "lobbying" activity!

The U.S. House Judiciary Committee plans to meet on Tuesday, May 15, to consider so-called "lobbying reform" legislation, including the "Meehan Amendment," which is strongly opposed by The American Conservative Union (ACU).

This amendment, sponsored by Rep. Martin Meehan (an ultraliberal from Massachusetts who scored “ZERO” in 2006 and 2005 on ACU’s Ratings of Congress), would establish, for the first time, federal regulatory authority over efforts aimed at motivating citizens to communicate with their elected representatives about bills pending in Congress. That’s right, the liberals now want to regulate – and silence – our efforts to keep you informed about what they are doing in Washington.

The Meehan amendment is part of a broader effort by ultraliberal politicians and their special interest cronies to regulate and ultimately discourage ACU’s action messages like this one that keep conservatives like you informed about important legislation moving through Congress.
The groups that are pushing for controls over so-called 'grassroots lobbying' really want lawmakers and other government officials to be more responsive to pressure from certain elites, including liberal special-interest groups and their fat-cat financial backers, the mainstream news media, and powerful congressional committee chairmen.

The full House of Representatives is expected to act on the "lobbying reform" bill (S. 1) on Tuesday, May 22. Depending on what happens in the Judiciary Committee, the full House may also vote on whether to include the Meehan provision in the bill.

Members of the full House, and especially the 40 members of the Judiciary Committee, need to hear from you now in opposition to the Meehan Amendment to S. 1!

On the ACU website's Legislative Action Center, an easy tool will use your zip code to tell you the direct phone number of your representative.

I used to be a Letterman Fan....

Now the TOP 10 Things a GREAT AMERICAN does NOT do!!!

10. Play a part in a rather raunchy soft core porn movie.
9. Does not pose for pictures with enemy soldiers and equipment in a time of war.
8. Write a tell all book about her sex life.
7. Grow up with privilege and everything they ever needed, including a father to smooth the way in the "Industry."
6. Call American POW's Liars and Hypocrites.
5. Does not heap praise on a form of government that enslaves peoples and commits genocide
4. Does not call enemy soldiers liberators
3. Does not give Bill Clinton praise for getting a blow job in the Oval Office
2. Does not praise the efforts of Murdering terrorists in a second war.
1. Does not accept illegitimate praise on the Letterman show for being a GREAT American.

Dear David..
I have watched the last Letterman show.
I know I am breaking your heart. After all I am sure one less viewer in 40 million will not harm your millions of dollars.. Rich is rich after all. You are set for life.. but the soldiers who fight and die for you are not. They are embarrassed by the actions of a misguided criminal zealot.
However while I accept you are a Liberal, find you funny, I can not believe being a former liberal myself that you would stain your stage with a woman who has used such vitriol against the very men who have fought and died for this country.
Against the SAME GOVERMENT and government agencies that saved your child from kidnapping.
Apparently our form of government is fine when it serves YOU or HER, but when it takes the leadership to stop criminal murderers, you get all bent out of shape and feel sorry for the murderers.
Mr. Letterman a pox on your show.
That is my take on it.

Northup for Governor Campaign

I was at one time a Northup Fan. However I have mixed emotions about her run for Governor. I honestly believe that this is a mistake on her part. She should be taking back her congressional office not taking on the FIRST Republican Governor in 40 years.
Still while Fletcher had one major scandal in his administration, I believe had the law been followed under the Democratic Administrations over the last 40 years Mr. Flectcher would not have been in the situation he was in.
Still and all the State is a better place today than it was 4 years ago under Democrats.
NOW my main problem is the newest of Northup's campaign commercials. The one that shows the Democrats lining up their commercials and here is what they will say.
Ann if you can not take responsibility for the commercial do not run it.
My take is that if they DO run those commercials that at least 3 of the Gubernatorial Candidates can have the same commercial run against them by Fletcher. The Democratic party was rife with favoritism and as a former State Employee who was a Democrat I was exposed to such unfair behavior during the Brown Administration and the turn over to the next governor.
Most State employees have had state jobs denied to them in order to pay off some OTHER Democrat in the last 40 years.
I do not feel sorry for those who lost their jobs under Fletcher. Most likely they got the job due to favoritism from a previous administration. Flectcher's administration has been one of the fairest in hiring in over 40 years DESPITE the indictment of his personell.
Ann if you can not "Take Ownership" of a commercial don't run it.
Thats My Take on it..

Clinton releases ALL 90 U.S Attorneys..

Clinton releases 90 attorneys and the Liberal Media says nothing..
Bush lets 8 go and the world is going crazy? LMAO
