Leftism

From the Brazos Progressives News Blog: BVCAW: Antiwar Protest, September 20

BVCAW members and friends will gather on September 20th to demand congressional action to end this disastrous war and to bring our troops home now.

Which is that? Retreat, or Surrender? Or is it both?

Speakers at 5:45 PM will be followed at 6:00 PM by a solemn reading of the names of Americans and Iraqis who have died as a result of the war and the American occupation.

No mention of those that have died at the hands of Islamist radicals. I wonder how many of those "Iraqis who have died as a result of the war" are head-chopping, child murdering terrorists? Can anyone say "Zarqawi"? How about "Uday Hussein"?

The folks at BVCAW have every right to be blithering idiots. Their dangerous message of surrender should, however, be responsibly answered. Anyone interested in countering this noise, please let me know. Here are some of the signs I'd make for such an encounter;

Local Leftist Loonies schedule half an hour to honor the life of the "Railroad Killer."

Death Penalty Protest Vigil
at Corner of Texas Ave & Walton
Starts on June 27, 2006 at 5:30PM
Ends on June 27, 2006 at 6:00PM
Vigil (across from the main entrance to the A&M campus) to protest the execution of Angel Resendiz. All are welcome.

The blood of his victims cries out from the earth.

1. 1986 - Unidentified woman near San Antonio. Authorities describe her as between 18 and 25, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a medium build. Resendiz told authorities she was from Florida.

2. July 19, 1991 - Michael White, 33, found in the yard of a house in San Antonio, had been shot multiple times.

3-4. March 23, 1997 - Wendy Von Huben, 16, a runaway from Woodstock, Ill., was strangled eight hours after her traveling companion, Jesse Howell, 19, was found slain near railroad tracks running through Belleview, Fla.

5. July 1997 - An unidentified man was found beaten to death in a rail yard in Colton, Calif. A pipe was used to kill the man.

6. Aug. 29, 1997 - Christopher Maier, 21, a University of Kentucky student, was killed near the college campus in Lexington, Ky. Maier was killed with a 50-pound rock. His girlfriend, raped and left for dead, survived the attack and testified against Resendiz.

7. Oct. 2, 1998 - Leafie Mason, 87, found in her home in Hughes Springs, 125 miles east of Dallas, beaten to death with her own antique iron.

8. Dec. 11, 1998 - Fannie Whitner Byers, 81, found beaten to death with a hammer or ax at her Carl, Ga., home.

9. Dec. 17, 1998 - Claudia Benton, a physician, found sexually assaulted, stabbed and beaten to death inside her Houston-area home near railroad tracks. It's her killing that gets Resendiz the death penalty.

10-11. May 2, 1999 - The Rev. Norman "Skip" Sirnic, 46, and his wife, Karen Sirnic, 47, found dead inside their home in Weimar. They were beaten with a sledgehammer.

12. June 4, 1999 - Josephine Konvicka, 73, found slain inside her residence in Fayette County. A garden tool is the murder weapon.

13. June 5, 1999 - Noemi Dominguez, 26, a schoolteacher, found beaten to death in her residence in Houston.

14-15. June 15, 1999 - George Morber, 80, and his daughter, Carolyn Frederick, 51, discovered slain at their home in Gorham, Ill.

These are only the victims known to have been killed by him. God only knows if there are others, and what their names may have been.

David Espo is either;
A) a leftist shill for the Democratic Party, or
B) a pathological liar, or
C) an incompetent reporter.

Either way, he is severely unqualified to report on Texas political developments. Take this line from his report on the Supreme Court agreeing to hear a case involving redistricting in Texas;

[The Supreme Court is]...agreeing to review controversial redistricting that produced ballot box gains for Republicans but an ethics rebuke and criminal charges for GOP Rep. Tom DeLay.

Did you catch that? The SUPREME COURT is reviewing the very issue that resulted in TOM DELAY'S CRIMINAL CHARGES.

Uhmm, no they are not. The charges against Delay are the result of a political hack pressing charges against him for political purposes. The charges involve conspiracy (dismissed) and "money laundering." These charges are unrelated to the redistricting isssue before the court.

Oooh, but what those ETHICS CHARGES? Well, you have to read through the 833 word article to find in the very last sentence that the rebuke was related to Delay's response to DEMOCRATS trying to POLITICIZE the REDISTRICTING ISSUE by LEAVING THE STATE while the LEGISLATURE WAS IN SESSION.

Throughout the article, the distinct impression is given that EVIL TEXAS REPUBLICANS have tried to POLITICIZE the REDISTRICTING PROCESS. No culpubility is even hinted at with regards to the democrats' shameless and irresponsible deriliction of their duty.

Here's a self aggrandizing republishing of an e-mail quarrel a local lefty had with the editor of the local paper. I'll summarize to save you the trouble of actually reading the pap. Borden's screw up is Priceless!

It Begins-
D. Yeager issues a press release announcing him and his friends are TICKED that Richard Armitage will be the commencement speaker at A&M.

The Eagle acknowledges receipt of the press release.

Mark Noonan asks a reasonable question. Does the left respond with a thoughtful, well articulated response? Hardly.

You know, it's gotten to where you can't have a reasonable discussion regarding the history of this nation, particularly when the subject matter is that War of Northern Agression.


By the way, about that Delay thing... It's funny how the left is all in a tither about this indictment. What song were they singing when their favorite president got impeached? Or lied to a grand jury? Or when his associates were convicted? Or died?

Ronnie Earl is a political hack. I think I'll skip the movie.

I'm still gonna fisk you.

GTL is really dissapointed with the direction our county is heading. Who isn't? Anyhow, here's a breakdown of his rant, my comments follow in italics:

I love you, man!
I mean that, too. Not in candy pants funny guy sort of way, but for real! Granted, I can't stand your ideas. I think you are wrong about 93.6% of the time. I believe your political philosophy is detrimental to the future of this great nation. But none of that means that I don't love you.

I really enjoyed fisking your "What makes a liberal" post. I've visited your site a couple of times since then, and even managed to get a comment or two in. Even though we disagree, I don't really understand how it is you have the impression that I "hate" you.

See, that's the same type of rhetoric the left has been throwing at the right for years. Those of us that had sincere disagreements with Bill Clinton were labelled "Clinton Haters." Those of us that believed the words in the constituiton had a particular meaning, and that he had violated his oath of office were said to be driven by "hate."

Now those on the left are quick to call us conservatives Nazis, or RepubliKKKans. They openly refer to the President of the United States as a monkey, or as Hitler, and they actively seek this nation's harm on the basis that he is the sitting president. There is a whole lot of hate coming out of the left. Perhaps that is why they are so quick to put it onto us. I'm trying to remember what that psychological term is when you see your own sickness in someone else... transference?

Thanks for the link. I appreciate your service to our country, and I appreciate your enthusiasm for your ideas. Perhaps someday I can convince you to rethink some of them... but not because I hate you.
