Senator Bill Nelson
Republican Lite. Again
Discourse.net reports this morning that Florida Senator Bill Nelson has once again voted for torture. I've said it once and I'll say it again: Senator Nelson is no better than Joe Lieberman. It's about time that Florida Dems start waking up to that fact......here

A Collection Of The Very Worst Amongst Us

What Choices Remain For Americans Today?

They have an administration which they despise, enacting policies they loathe. So they did what the good citizens of a democracy are supposed to do, they went out in large numbers and voted in a new government. We should make no mistake about what the landslide election of 2006 meant. Democrats had no agenda to put forth and were not chosen for the purpose of advancing any such non-agenda. They had one qualification going into last November’s contest, and it was the one which got them elected.......more

There are few good things to take away from the disaster of the last six years, and perhaps little that could ever be justified by the enormous attendant costs. But I do believe that Americans have looked into the eye of the regressive movement and that most have come away horrified, now seeing it for what it is - a collection of the very worst amongst us.

A Parcel At A Time

Meet Albert Joerger, Since starting the Sarasota Conservation Foundation in 2003, Joerger has parlayed such small successes into a land conservation behemoth. "The engine behind the foundation was this idea of pocket parks, of finding space for people and wildlife on the water," Joerger said. He describes it as "an Emerald Necklace" stretching along the waterfront from Tampa Bay to Pine Island in Lee County. Public spaces on the water are vital to the foundation's mission, largely because Joerger believes the waterfront is for everyone, not just those who can afford to buy it......more

Bumper Stickers

And Freedom Of Speech

Jan Wesner Of The St. Pete Times writes, So I'm driving up I-75 the other day (northbound coming onto the interstate from Big Bend Road, for those who live around here) and I see this bumper sticker on the back of the car in front of me: "War is terrorism with a bigger budget." I sped up enough to get right beside the twenty-something woman in the driver's seat. I considered honking my horn and rolling down my window and giving her the middle finger. I probably would have, except for the fact that I was going 80 miles an hour and my phone started ringing.

Ms. Wesner, what you should of done is chase her down and tear that sticker off that bumper once she stopped. The nerve of that young woman having a sticker on her car that you dont agree with. its Un-American. before you try this i would read......this....or you can do what i do when i see a Bush or Pro War sticker on a bumper. i chase them down, pull up beside them, and give them my "What The Fuck Are You Thinking" look.

Here are three questions comparing Liberals and Conservatives
1. During the 2004 elections, which car was more likely to be “keyed,” i.e., deliberately scratched — a car with a “John Kerry” bumper sticker in an overwhelmingly conservative area, or a car with a “George W. Bush” sticker in an overwhelmingly liberal area?
2. When speaking at colleges, do right-wing or left-wing speakers need and receive police protection?
3. In a debate between a right-wing and a left-wing speaker before an audience equally divided between left and right, which audience group is more likely to boo and hiss at the speaker with whom it disagrees — the liberal or the conservative?...............more

And he has a hundred billion dollars to do it with.....here

That We All Take Responsibility For The Country We Love

And the brave men and women who protect us. As citizens, let’s volunteer in support of our troops, and offer our service to honor theirs. As Americans, let’s take a moment to join in prayer for our troops. And as patriots, let’s gather together this weekend and make our voices heard. It’s up to us. If we are loud enough, and clear enough, we can end this war. Because it really is possible to stop a president who believes he can do no wrong—it just takes people with the courage to do what’s right..........You can start here
