Guy spoke at yesterday’s tea party even concerning running a campaign and how you needed more than just people to hold signs. I asked him the following question:
As a rule the things you learn the most from in life are your mistakes.

following the Joe Miller recount story.
You know the blood pressure of Mrs. Other McCain not withstanding if more reporters did what Stacy does, that is , actually go out and report the media would be held in more respect.
That doesn’t mean that Dan Riehl isn’t doing his best from the lower 48.
If you want to know why people are suspicious of Mosques…

It’s stuff like this:
An alarming, must-see video at Big Peace shows prominent leaders of the Islamic community in the United States openly raising money for terrorism at a Saudi-funded mosque in central Florida.
Organized by the Islamic Society of Central Florida’s Imam Muhammad Musri, the compelling video features leftist former UK MP George Galloway and three-time felon Mahdi Bray of the Muslim American Society’s Freedom Foundation raising at least $55,000 for Hamas.
The sad thing is, if the MSM was willing to report on this stuff when it was happening it might have been nipped in the bud and wouldn’t have emboldened these guys to continue along these lines.
Well at least groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center investigate stuff like this: Oh Wait:
With regard to monitoring radical jihadists, we have made a pragmatic decision to leave that mainly to the major Jewish NGOs, which do a good job and have some real expertise that would likely take us years to develop.
When there is no disincentive for bad behavior you get more of it.

Hey this is exactly what people are hoping for from the ACLU

Let’s sue to save the life of a terrorist in a foreign country because he was born here.
The younger al-Awlaki, who was born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, has been marked for death by the U.S. Defense Department and the CIA, according to the organizations.
U.S. forces are trying to find al-Awlaki, saying he has been linked to plots against American targets including the failed attempt by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to detonate an explosive device aboard an airliner approaching Detroit in December.
Because there is nothing more un-american that killing people who join the enemy during a time of war.
Do these people actually understand how that looks?
Oh and notice the headline: ACLU Sues U.S. Over Targeted Killing of Citizens. The headline is a great example of a headline that doesn’t tell the story, it makes it sound like we are shooting people in the streets here.
