Group to protest “Republican Death Machine”And, NO, Ogre, you can’t have one for Christmas, EEEEEEEEVIL GLENNNNNNNNNN has already bought them all. Kidding aside, it seems that “the left” has NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER with the MURDER of innocent babies (see: abortion), nor do they have ANY PROBLEMS with brutal dictators being left in power to murder MILLIONS of people (see: sadaam hussein and the current DNC position on the war they did vote to start), but when a CONVICTED MURDERER is sentenced to death for killing FOUR PEOPLE, they are outraged. Stanley “Tookie” Williams, a former gang member, and current resident of California’s death row, is scheduled to be executed at 12:01AM on Tuesday 12/13 for the 1979 murder of four people. Now, I will grant “tookie” that he does seem to have shown SOME maturity in that he now writes children’s books teaching to stay AWAY from gangs, drugs, and guns, but he has NOT renounced his own time with them as he has not stopped using his “gang name” (tookie). I have no doubt that people can change, and can be redeemed and forgiven for any sin they commit, but just because you see the error of your ways, and repent does NOT free you from responsiblity for your actions. Mr. Willims MURDERED four people, and the court decided his life should be forfeit due to that, therefore, his sentence should be carried out. The main problem I have here is that there is going to be a protest in DC (which is a long way from California) to DEMAND that Gov. Schwarzeneggar grant clemency and commute his sentence to life in prison. I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that a small group of people had the right to DEMAND a government official do anything, if I had known, I would have DEMANDED that Pres. Clinton tell the truth under oath, or that Sen. Kennedy tell the truth about the woman he murdered (by doing nothing he is responsible for her death), or I would DEMAND that Sen. Kerry tell the truth about EVERYTHING he did from the day he returned to the U.S. from Vietnam until today (including throwing his medals away, lying about what went on, visiting the VC in France, and on and on and on), but I guess I missed out on those opportunities, didn’t I?
Leaders of faith mark holiday season by bashing Wal-MartIt seems that no matter what, the unions are just not going to give up until Wal-Mart FORCIBLY unionizes their workers. The ONLY instance I know of where a store closed to avoid unionizing was IN CANADA and therefore does NOT come to this debate, but you know what, if enough Wal-Mart employees wanted to unionize, they could, and I’ll tell you how. The employees hold the reigns, even if they don’t know it. Because if a large percentage of the work force at a company threatened to quit if they couldn’t unionize, the company would at least have to listen and talk it over, otherwise THE COMPANY WOULD BE CRIPPLED! So, let me QB this for you, say the employees of Wal-Mart want to unionize, and they get 75% of their fellow workers to side with them. Then, a letter is sent to the corporate office telling Wal-Mart that unless they are allowed to unionize, the company will be faced with a SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT drop in staffing, and therefore WOULD BE LITERALLY CRIPPLED! Therefore, why not just (and this is dangerous thinking folks) LET THE WORKERS DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO UNIONIZE? American Airlines call centers were HARASSED at least monthly by union reps at our front gate (some of whom would BLOCK THE DRIVEWAY until you talked to them, or looked like you would run them over), yet each time a vote came up, the employees VOTED NO and AA never changed the pay or benefit package to get that to happen. So, the lesson, if people are WILLING to work for the wages Wal-Mart pays, and those employees DO NOT WANT A UNION, then why is it OK to try to FORCE A UNION ON THEM?
University drops charges against student for opposition to homosexualityThis is a RARE victory for free speech (seeing as it was NOT in support of homosexuality or any other “far left” cause). It seems that a professor sent an e-mail to students inviting them to view a movie about a lesbian couple. Jihad Daniel, a 63 year old grad student, and recent convert to Islam, responded with a request to not receive any further correspondance along this line, as he believes homosexuality is a perversion. Well, that just cannot be allowed can it. Someone not agreeing with the far left on a college campus. Well, a letter of reprimand was placed in Mr. Daniel’s permanent record, and he was charged with harassment as well, seeing as the professor found his e-mail to be “threatening”. Well, a group called F.I.R.E. (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) took up the charge in support of Mr. Daniel, and the school has dropped the charges and removed the letter of reprimand.
When did it come to this? When did simply saying you do not agree with something become a threat? I’m sorry folks, but if I get an e-mail from a professor about something like this, I am DEFINATELY going to ask to be removed from his list for these invites, and I’m going to say why. I can also guarantee that if that professor accuses me of “threatening”, I will take him to court for slander and any other charge I can, and I will have a copy of the e-mail to prove what I said. This was not a threat, this was a man who disagrees with a professor, simply voicing his view, and asking to be removed from her e-mail list.
Democrats pitch “national community”I’m sorry, but haven’t we seen this before from Senator Hillary “it takes a village” Clinton? I just understand, is the DNC just that dense? This didn’t work the first time, why would it now? Americans don’t want a “national community”, and do you know why? Because New Yorkers are proud to be New Yorkers, just as Texans are proud(er) to be Texans, and so on. We don’t want to be told that everyone is the same, and all that rubbish. Texans are better than anyone else on the planet at some things, why NY has it’s strengtth, and so one. Differences are what made this country strong. Different skills and different talents being harnessed and used. I just don’t see this working, do you?
AND, LAST, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST!
