Fear and Loathing

Byron York of National Review posted today an excerpt from the NYT in which Tom Matzzie, a former MoveOn.org officer, has formed a new group called Accountable America. Its goal? Defeat Republicans by targeting and intimidating those who donate. In the article, the Times describes what will happen to those who contribute to the wrong causes:

The warning letter is intended as a first step, alerting donors who might be considering giving to right-wing groups to a variety of potential dangers, including legal trouble, public exposure and watchdog groups digging through their lives.

In other words, they're about to treat the Republican party like the Mob treats businesses in Chicago, or Jamie Franks treats people who run against him. Heck, they're going to treat us worse than John Edwards treats his ladies! Be ready my friends; one day, they're going to come knocking at your door.

I wonder if they know that we're the gun party and they're not?

Do Not Question The Dems Patriotism

John Hickenlooper is the Democrat Mayor of Denver, the host city for the Democratic National Convention this year. Remember him? He's the guy who is making a 'green' convention (and running up a huge bill, according to all accounts I've read), and telling the convention-goers what they can eat. He also said green living was 'the new patriotism.'

So I'm sure it's a shock that this was what replaced the National Anthem at his "State of the City" address recently. I just saw this on Fox, and just pulled it up on Youtube.

The Black National Anthem (which is the song's title) starts at about two minutes. I do so love it when Dems wonder why we question their allegiance to this country. The Pledge right before it makes it even more jarring to me.

Edited for the wrong link. My bad, dawg.
