Tea Party II in Anchorage
from Cameron Barrows, who organized the TaxDay Tea Party in Anchorage:
"We are having another event April 28th at the Loussac library at 4:30 PM. The assembly is voting to raise property taxes and we need to show that we do not want higher taxes in Anchorage!! We are only asking people to show up with signs and, if you can be creative, a fake pitch fork! Hope to see you there!!"

Are You a Dangerous Right-Wing Extremist?
Chances are...if you have a brain and a pair of eye-balls. Here is the definition taken from the recent DHS unclassified report:
quote from page 2.
I guess the founding fathers would be in big trouble for their inclusion of states rights in the constitution. And lookout for those wacky volunteers at Crisis Pregnancy Centers..shudder.
quote from page 2.
Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.

After Brown presented Obama with a pen holder crafted from the timbers of the 19th century British warship HMS President (whose sister ship, HMS Resolute, provided the wood for the Oval Office's desk), Obama offered up ... 25 DVDs of American movie classics...

Obama breaking his campaign promise of no earmarks - see the non-stimulus pork package bill.
Obama saying there will be transparency and bi-partisanship in his administration - yes meetings behind closed doors to get RINOS to cave on the pork package is transparency? NOT working with ALL of Congress is bi-partisanship?

Nominating Eric Holder as the Attorney General who calls us a ‘Nation of Cowards’ when referring to racism.
Nominating a terrorist defender as Holder’s 2nd in line.

OBAMA BREAKS LAW ON TARP OVERSIGHT
The TARP bill required an oversight committee to meet at least once a month. The last recorded meeting of the committee took place on January 15. Obama has yet to hold an oversight committee meeting. The meeting minutes are posted on the treasury website. When you search for the meeting minutes the last meeting recorded was January 15:
Bowing to Saudi king as a common supplicant.
Smiling and shaking hands with narco-terrorist supporter and thug, Hugo Chavez. Only a couple of months ago he elicited different comments from the Thug-In-Chief:
In an interview airing on Venezuelan television and reported by The Washington Post Monday, Chavez said Obama has "the same stench" as Bush. The comment harkens back to September 2006, when Chavez addressed the United Nations General Assembly after Bush and said he could still smell the "sulfur" the U.S. president left behind at the podium. -- Foxnews
Now they're best buddies? Somebody is a dupe. I wonder who?
In April, he did another 180..the monstrous idea that previous administration officials should be held liable for "immoral" acts of interrogation...like water-boarding. But he won't declassify the memos that showed the interrogation techniques saved perhaps thousands, particularly in thwarting an attack in Los Angeles.
Obama's promises
from IBDeditorials.com
Few presidential candidates have made more specific promises to American voters than Barack Obama. They came so fast and furious in the latter part of the campaign, you'd be excused for not keeping up. So as a public service, we've put together a handy checklist of some of the biggest Obama promises — culled from his "Blueprint for Change," his campaign speeches and advertisements. Clip it. Save it. And see how he did in four years.

Anchorage Tea Party 4/15/2009
Wow! What a great day. When I heard about the Tea Party, I scheduled 4 hrs time off just so I would be sure to be there on a workday.
I arrived at the Federal Bldg about 10:20 to see about eight folks including Cameron Barrows and immediately thought it might be a disappointing turnout. I began to wonder if I was one of only a handful who are fed up with the profligate spending, the insults to conservative Americans and the wholesale lurching toward socialism.
More folks began to trickle in and by 11:30 there were a couple hundred. Still, not quite a crowd. But then more and more and more...we filled up all four corners of the intersection, singing and chanting. Lots of good humor and no nastiness. Eventually we had about 1200 demonstrators when I left at 1:30 to get back to work. Like Randy Neuman's song says "I hope this feelin lasts..."
