When She’s Right, She’s Right

Rarely do I agree with Julie Fanselow, but I’ll second her motion at the end of this post regarding Fred Phelps:

Phelps and his Topeka-based Westboro Baptist Church are known in Idaho for two things: instigating the Boise Ten Commandments monument hoo-ha and trying to disrupt the 2005 funeral of Carrie French, the first female soldier from Idaho to die in Iraq. Phelps and his goons picket funerals nationwide to say the war deaths are punishment from God because of America’s widespread acceptance of homosexuals. Fred Phelps, you and your haters are not welcome in our state

This Looks Like a Job For…

Clayton Cramer writing at his blog expresses frustration with Senator Craig’s backing of amnesty:

I am beginning to wonder: should some real Republicans (not the pretend kind, like Senator Craig seems to be turning into) run in the primaries next year?

Hmm, Real Republican, how about:

In all seriousness, it must be said that whoever would consider a run against Craig would be a sacrificial lamb, as I’m sure Clayton knows. Given Craig’s in-relationship with the party establishment, it’ll be hard to find a challenger and it must be said that Amnesty is a spot on what’s an otherwise good record. Of course, it’s a very dark mark. Craig’s role at the NRA, etc. will make removing him hard. Of course, he may remove himself and then we just have to be careful that the person we send up there doesn’t favor amnesty.

How NOT To Fight Amnesty

Confederate Yankee praises the Ace of Spades suggestion:

Write, call, and fax your Congressmen and Senators — especially Republican ones — and let them know you will never vote for them or their party again should the immigration bill actually pass.
And let them know that you don’t particularly trust them on national security, spending, or taxes either, so they won’t wrongly believe those trump cards will still win the hand for them. Let them know if this isn’t scuttled — if the border isn’t secured first, verifiably, before any amnesty legislation passes — you will no longer vote for, volunteer for, or donate to any Republican candidate for any office ever again.

Not a dime, not a vote.

The Confederate Yankee adds in a letter to Senators Burr and Dole:

Tonight, I will tell my readers, conservative Republicans, fence-sitting conservative Democrats and moderates, that if the Senate passes the pending illegal alien amnesty bill, that I will formally abandon the Republican party, as it has abandoned me. I will then ask them to do the same. I will ask that they refuse to contribute to Republican campaigns. I will ask them to stay at home and refuse to vote for Republican candidates, or even consider voting for Democrats in protest in 2008.

And today, I will tell you that what is being proposed is plain and simple idiocy. Who are the opponents of amnesty, almost to a person? Republicans. What Confederate Yankee/Ace of Spades are saying is, “Let’s punish those people who oppose amnesty along with those who supported it. That will show them.” Indeed, it will. Electing a bunch of Democrats who are even worse than the Republicans to protest how bad the Republicans are will make people in Washington think America wants more liberalism and more amnesty.

Last year in the Republican House, the Amnesty Bill was deader than a door nail. There were thousands of e-mails forwarded telling us not to vote Republicans and now with GOP losses in the House and Speaker Pelosi in power, we’ll get the amnesty.

Do these people how to be constructive? How about throwing the bums out in the primary, taking some money and spending it on a Conservative Candidate for the White House like John Cox who is a stalwart against illegal immigration and the country’s fiscal mess. Heck, I give the Constitution Party more points for creativity and guts. Instead, it seems some people would rather just throw a hissy fit rather than actually doing something. Well folks, I’m in the “Do Something Caucus” and I’ll keep fighting for America, and for the time being that will continue to be in the GOP because that’s where the people who are fighting for this country’s values are. Yes, there are some amnesty sell-outs, a whole mess of them, but throwing a temper tantrum is not an option for me or anyone who expects to make a difference.

Back to the Past Weekend Open Trackbacks

There was a time when folks came and gathered around the radio with their family and friends to listen to the latest dramas, comedies, and science fiction hits. Today, we’ve become more solitary and more than that, our old friends are spread out all over the country and maybe all over the world. How can we ever recreate that experience.

Well, you can thanks to Paul Stanton who showed me how to use the Gizmo Project for Live Podcasts. Gizmo allows me to play sounds including the sound of a public domain, old time Radio Show, in this case, Dragnet.

So, gather round with me as we listen to the case of Myra the Red Head. Click here on Saturday Night at 6:15 PM MT (or 8:15 ET) and join us for a brief live chat before and after the show. Gather around, bring some friends, and let’s sit around our computer (wherever they may be) and talk about the show and have a good time.

Also, for a taste of real radio experience. Join me and the other Light at the Edge of Darkness players as we present a brand new Radio drama live, “Frozen Generation” a tale of an African American woman who smuggles extracted embryos in her womb to help them escape a life of slavery. Join us at 4 PM MT, 6 PM ET for “Light at the Edge of Darkness“. To fully enjoy either experience, it’s reccomended you join Talkshoe and download their software.

The Knesset or the Congress?

Perhaps, Democrats think they’re in the Knesset with their talk of issuing a vote of “no confidence” against Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez. Why don’t the Democrats have the guts to follow the Constitution or shut-up?
