FREEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!
by Orlando 11/7/2009 - 1:03 pm

Dammit, I want my country back. I want my freedom-loving, free country with its free people fighting for their freedom back. Now. Because Paul Revere loved FREEDOM. And also, Martin Luther King. Because he was free. Well, once he got out of jail he was. FREEDOM!! Freedom is important and we should all fight against those people who want to take away our freedom. In fact, I'm going to go out and protest against people who hate freedom. Just as soon as check a few things off of my to-do list. For instance, I have to buy a gun on the internet. Then, I have to write a letter that will most likely be published in my local newspaper about why I will go all REVOLUTIONARY on anybody who hates my freedom. Then, I have to go outside. It's dangerous outside. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN!! There are so many people who want to take away my freedom that I have to be CONSTANTLY VIGILANT as I walk to my car. Somebody might stop me, for example, to say "Good Morning." Bastard. What if I'm not having a good morning? STOP TAKING AWAY MY FREEDOM TO HAVE A BAD MORNING. Once I finally get to my car, I have to drive on the streets paid for with tax dollars. Fucking taxes. More government taking away my freedom. And what's with all the other cars? They should get out of my way because I'm very important and I have important places to go and those other drivers are in the way of my FREEDOM. Why do other drivers hate America? And don't even get me started on those fascist pedestrians--buy a car you hippie assholes. This is AMERICA where we buy big cars because we love FREEDOM. Speaking of America and freedom, immigrants get the fuck out. This is my free country, not yours. RONALD REAGAN!! I love the smell of freedom in the morning. Because I am a PATRIOT! And I want my country back. FREEDOM! Why did those anti-American, freedom-hating bastards get in government anyhow? I know why. Because Acorn hates my freedom. I know what to do about Acorn. Cut down all the trees. BECAUSE TREES HATE FREEDOM. With all the wood, I can make sign posts for all the signs I'm going to put around so that everyboy will know how much I love FREEDOM! That's what freedom fighters do. We make FREEDOM SIGNS out of trees that will never grow another acorn again. Hah. And all you anti-freedom fascists can suck it. Get out of my way and get out of my country. Go live in Canada if you love your anti-freedom, socialist medicine so much. THOMAS JEFFERSON! NATHAN HALE! PATRICK HENRY! FREEEEEEEEEEEDOM!

Koch Brothers, Allies Pledge $100 Million At Private...
Huffington Post - A. Terkel/R. Grim begins report with:
WASHINGTON -- At a private three-day retreat in California last weekend, conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch and about 250 to 300 other individuals pledged approximately $100 million to defeat President Obama in the 2012 elections.
and report includes:
The source told The Huffington Post that they lamented the direction the conference has taken over the years. They said it used to be about "conservative strategy" and building a movement, but now it was mostly an "alpha male" spectacle focused on fundraising to beat Obama.
This is downright frightening.

Brooks Goes All Revolutionary
If I could offer advice to a young rebel, it would be to rummage the past for a body of thought that helps you understand and address the shortcomings you see. Give yourself a label.
Effective rebellion isn’t just expressing your personal feelings. It means replacing one set of authorities and institutions with a better set of authorities and institutions. Authorities and institutions don’t repress the passions of the heart, the way some young people now suppose. They give them focus and a means to turn passion into change.
As if the socio-political change is a matter of removing one set and plugging in the other set.
In the end, all Brooks once wants to do is point to the kids of today and say "aren't they being silly."
What Brooks wants to avoid is the messiness that comes from delving into the change where the outcome is not known before one set out ahead of time. It wraps this up by saying those who see it in a different way are merely motivated by personal feelings, which is about as asinine as it gets.

Komen caves, kinda, but still refusing to approve Planned...
As they say, you read, you decide. Preview:
They'll still turn down Planned Parenthood again next time because of the supposed pass-through grant. Unless of course, Nancy Brinker was lying last night. So which is it?
“This represents nothing new. We have known and have reported that they are continuing five grants through 2012. This is a reference to that. The second clause about eligibility is certainly true. Any group can apply for anything. It does not mean they are going to get anything,” Ruse told LifeNews.
Geez, is the 'surrender' a trojan horse? Or in fact, not even a surrender, since ongoing current funding was not being stopped. According to this, it's all about the future funding processes, which is still not committed. Hmmm.

Senate Votes To Ban Its Members Insider Trading Not Really
Once again, as ever, this bill (as many legislative actions) provides only the facade that our Nation's leaders are legislating what the country needs and holding themselves to the same standards as their constituents.
In truth, the proposed legislation does not provide the same oversight and consequences for Congressional insider trading malfeasance, as the rest of our nation's citizens are subject to under current insider trading laws.
We need to stand up and speak out that this is not good enough! Please, blog - send emails - call - communicate the facts to the WH, media and your own local governmental body, asking them to pass a resolution to be forwarded to your state's congressional members as well as the WH. Don't attack either party as all are culpable. A bi-partisan coalition none should support.

Komen Reverses Course
Well it took longer than I thought, but just a day longer. KOMEN has reversed course.
We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women’s lives.
Nancy Komen Brinker goes on to deny what happened and continues to say they were misunderstood, but the backlash has been enormous, and they have reversed course and apologize.
The thing is, I think this will continue to hurt them, as they've been found out, they support policies that that hurt women.
Yep, sorry Nancy, your days in the spotlight are probably over.
I will update this with some video soon.

O, this reminds me somewhat of an infamous Internet post, although I think you're tapping into a slightly different part of the American psyche here.
That's a fantastic post. I wish I could have it tatooed on every person who tells me we need smaller government.
I hereby approve of this blog post, Allah be praised.
High praise from the Satire King. Here's a tip though: Allah hates your FREEDOM.
Is this satire or has someone been OD'ing on the C-SPAN health care bill coverage? O lei!
At least she only talked for a minute. I'm listening to Mega-Tan right now and he's going on and on and on and on. And he hasn't even talked about his pretty pretty chart yet.
And also, SHE LOVES FREEDOM.
In case anybody else wants to tune out Boehner:
For some reason, Michele Bachmann with a lei reminds me of Shaq with a panda:
A few weeks ago, as I was biking in Philly with my nephew in the baby seat, a driver who had been forced to slow down before passing me, yelled out his window, "Hey buddy, buy a car!"
No joke.
I guess the popular notion of FREEDOM doesn't include the FREEDOM to ride a bicycle.
Good morning, Orlando.
This is one of my favorite pics. It's a statue of William Wallace that's been caged to "protect it from vandalism." Yeah, right! It's just a way for those smarmy Brits to post-humously curtail his FREEEEEDOM!!!
OMG. Can we put a cage around Michele Bachmann? We'll tell her it's for her own good because the liberals are out to get her. Pure genius.
