Change: Crazy Liberal Moonbats Want "Domestic Terrorists" Republicans "Prosecuted", "Jailed", "Eliminated", and Killed "Painfully";


OHHH!!!! I get it!


THIS must be what Obama meant by change and the end of partisan politics! Eliminate the voice of opposition (aka: the voice of reason).




...voiced by those like Mike Malloy who called Republicans "domestic terrorists" and wants to prosecute them.


So what was the reaction to Malloy's intolerance by his fellow leftwingers?


Unfortunately, it was met by strong approval as one can see in this Democratic Underground thread titled, "Mike Malloy: The Republican Party Needs to be Eliminated." The posts on that thread go way beyond the mere castigation of Republicans and enter into the realm of primitive blood lust. Perhaps you will find it disturbing to read some of the psychotic posts but you ignore them at your own peril:


We must for the sake of the Country and the World, bring them down, expose them, vote them out and prosecute them and if necessary jail them. They must go now and asap.


a strategic hamlet program for republicans. they call themselves an insurgency, we need to use counterinsurgent tactics.



Eliminated with extreme prejudice. By any means necessary.



that party needs to die a swift, merciless, painful death.


You can see a more complete compendium of these DUer Thought Police rantings at the DUmmie FUnnies.


So are these opinions about criminalizing political thought merely the fantasies of sanity-challenged DUers who have a well-deserved reputation for crazed rantings? Unfortunately, such attitudes reach up even into the U.S. Senate. The prime example being the call by Senator Patrick Leahy and supported by fellow Senator Sheldon Whitehouse for a so-called "Truth Commission."


Leahy is claiming that his goal is not to prosecute people. Ironically, if there were ever anybody who needs investigating for improprieties, it would be Leahy himself as you can see in his Wikipedia entry:


During his tenure as Vice-Chairman of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Leahy leaked a number of pieces of classified information, which led to his resignation from the committee. Leaks included information about a Reagan plan to topple the Gaddhafi regime in Libya, and another regarding the Iran-Contra affair. He deemed the Iran-Contra leak "careless" and accepted blame. There is a possibility that a leak of his led to the death of a covert agent in Egypt.


Despite, Leahy's disingenuous claim not to seek prosecutions, many of his fellow leftwingers are upfront about their call for such action. Of course, such prosecutions would conveniently overlook the leaking record of Leahy himself.
Whether it is called Fairness Doctrine or Truth Commission, it is all part and parcel of what the DUers are openly calling for...the suppression and criminalization of political thought. Welcome to Oceana.

Senate OKs Delay in Digital TV Changeover, Digital Converter Coupons: Government Waste At Its Finest. Where is the missing $780 Million?

Congress has officially wasted, lost or misused $780 Million of your tax payer money. Where is it? We need answers.

Town Hall reported yesterday:

The Senate on Monday voted unanimously to postpone the upcoming transition from analog to digital television broadcasting by four months to June 12 setting the stage for Congress to pass the proposal as early as Tuesday.

Monday's Senate vote is a big victory for the Obama administration and Democrats in Congress, who have been pushing for a delay amid growing concerns that too many Americans won't be ready for the currently scheduled Feb. 17 changeover.

Great! Looks like we don't need that $650 Million for "converter coupons" in that good ol' stimulus spending bill!

Who the hell are the 6.5 Million people still using rabbit ears anyway? Yup, that's what The Nielsen Co. estimates.


The Obama administration began pushing for a delay this month after the Commerce Department hit a $1.34 billion funding limit for coupons that help consumers pay for digital TV converter boxes. The boxes, which generally cost between $40 and $80 and can be purchased without a coupon, translate digital signals back into analog ones for older TVs.


*Sound of record scratching*

Wait, we've already spent $1,340,000,000 on these "coupons"? The Democrats want to add $650 million more bringing the total to nearly $2 billion?

That's about $300 per converter box. But the boxes only cost between $40 and $80 right?

Still with me? $300 per viewer for something on that even on the high end costs $80. So, even assuming no one will go out and purchase the boxes with their own money and assuming that there is an extra $120 per viewer that is "missing" or "misused"... where is the other $780 Million?

No, really? Where is it?

This is going to the inbox of my Republican Representative and my two Democratic Senators and I suggest everyone else do the same.

It's time for all of us to hold this "Transparent" government accountable to its words and its deeds.
