Did the Glenn (S)Beck-tical blink?

Did Glenn Beck back down under pressure from outside forces who were in opposition to his "Freedom Rally" which turned into his "Restoring Honor" rally? The very fact that he encouraged his rally supporters to leave their inflammatory signs outside of the rally is proof enough for me that Rev. Beck blinked.

Demagoging Left Wing Liberal Environmentalist Democrat Wacko Threatens Hostages

A Democrat Left Wing LIberal Wacko Environmentalist took hostages today at the Discovery Channel building in Silver Springs, Md. It's obvious that Al Gore and the television news channels MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS with their support of the Global Warming movement have ginned up this man's anger. What role do those stations and the liberal talk radio crowd have in this incident? Who's responsible for this man's behavior, what caused him to snap? Was it perhaps this from Chris Mathews suggesing that BP execs get the same treatment as Chinese polluters?

Tactics of a WSPD Demagogue

Clarity for the uninformed:
Developments of multiple posters trying to shutdown the Wolfman because of traction of his adversarial blogging role have cause for reflection. The Wolfman only wishes to exercise his right to free speech without malice. The Wolfman has met the aggrieved party with the chosen apology as requested in a timely manner. The aggrieved was mistakenly caught in the heated cross fire of public debate of the public talk show host’s news reports. Wolfman knows the job market is tough and wishes no ill will toward the aggrieved.

The Most Outrageous Promo Ever For Fred's Show

The GTUL has called for a complete audit of the school system and it's finances. Other groups have joined in this call and they are gettting some push back already from the board.
We'll also talk about the TPS report card, and a new report that many newly built schools are having problems already with A/C and leaking.

Is Lucas County professing their faith in Islam?

I notice that the Favicon that the Lucas County Website uses looks an awful lot like the Islam religious symbol. Coincidence or subliminal message? You decide.

Economy slowing as imports take over. Obama KILLING the middle class.

With Obama and Dimocraps in Congress putting MORE people out of work, American consumers cannot afford to purchase higher priced American made products of inferior quality just so some UAW Hack can continue to get Viagra for free.
