Well, whadda you know, it’s back. Let’s see what fun stuff I can dredge up tonight.
I’ll start with Nancy Pelosi – this was in another folder and I happened to stumble back upon it. The words “tax increase” just can’t seem to escape her lips, even if you try to read them.
On the other hand, a good conservative woman makes points about the nuts who want to fund ACORN. I just like to tweak my friends on the left by putting Michele Bachmann online. From the Washington News-Observer:
From the same source, three legislators who have embraced the TEA Party movement talk about some of those things which have drawn their support. Here are Representatives Marsha Blackburn, Joe Wilson, and Tom Price.
The Center for Individual Freedom talks about Obamacare and its effect on youth. Hey, I like the part about eating vegetables, getting exercise, and preventative care for twentysomethings.
The group American Solutions decided to do its own jobs summit last week, asking businessmen in Allentown, PA what they would suggest the government do to help them create jobs. These words were likely barely uttered in Obama’s job summit there.
The video has a good message, but the cuts were a bit jarring. I don’t know if it was timed to coincide with the Billy Joel song in the background but they could’ve done a better job with it.
Turning to state issues, candidate for Governor Larry Hogan made one of his first stump speeches to a gathering of Republicans in Howard County. This is the first Vimeo video I’ve embedded so it comes at a smaller size – the advantage is that it can play all at once without the usual 10 minute YouTube limit.
As I promised last week, here’s part 2 of Washington News-Observer’s interview with Ann Coulter.
Normally, that would have been the end but I liked this video Chris Lewis brought to my attention. In the wake of the 9-12 march on Washington, D.C. Ava Aston wrote and performed this song, and she describes it this way:
“We The People” is a song I wrote over the weekend of the 9/12 March. My desire is to inspire Americans who are frustrated and feel discouraged to become invigorated & to stand up and take back our Republic.
The upcoming elections in November 2010, as well as the next Presidential election will determine what America will become. I hope and pray with every fiber of my being that we citizens Democrat, Republican, Independent, or whatever… will unite and fight to keep our Republic the way it was intended. Liberty, Justice and Freedom for every citizen, and for us to be governed For the People and By the People as our Constitution instructs.
Let’s see if we can get this to a LOT more than 4,000 or so views.
The song sort of falls in the space between rock and country, but I can deal with it. Bet my friends from Semiblind could make a good version of it – but they’re probably going to be a subject for another edition of FNV. Until next time, enjoy and crank this one up.
YOu missed this one that was airred in my children’s classroom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjXyqcx-mYY
All I watched was the CFIF one, and yea, I couldn’t agree more. My generation is going to be nothing BUT punished for the rest of their lives because of this healthcare tax, and the whole inevitable upcoming Social Security crisis. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people my age pack up their stuff and expatriate in a few years.
RCG: You’d be surprised how many video links I get in a week…I try to keep the total time between 30 and 45 minutes because I also watch them as I compile the post. As for yours, I may bring it back at a later time to stir up controversy anew.
TTF: The problem your generation may have is having nowhere to expatriate to. Whoever said America was the last best hope for mankind may have had it right.
I would go to Australia! I know a couple people there and Australia is basically the least globally bothered country/continent to which whose culture I could see myself adapting. Also, koalas!
