Jared Polis

Square State Net went off the deep end today in an attack on Tom McAvoy of the Pueblo Chieftain:

who must still have drool on his chin

and a suggestion that he get off his knees.

What is it about these people that they can't criticize others in a more civil way? This is junior high school language and thinking. It reminds one of Wendy Norris and her complaint about Janet Rowland when Rowland wasn't even a part of the story. Speaking of Wendy Norris, she was linked to in that story. Great minds travel the same gutter. The very same gutter.

Jared Polis must like that gutter as we note that he added his comment without objecting to the theme the post set. That won't help him much among the Boulder sophisticates. Or will it?

Anyone Notice A Difference?

Read the post immediately below this one. It is a carefully laid out comparison of the Bob Schaffer position on Education vs. the Mark Udall position. It is long and thoughtful, as are all of his pieces on his Best Destiny site.

Since he is not blowing his own horn, I'll blow it for him. If you want to understand the intricacies of CSAP, you should slide on over for an unbiased (everyone has biases, some hide them better than others) look:

CSAP Impressions, Post Script

These essays were written by a guy who draws no money from any source for his essays, either here or on his other blog. Compare the quality of his work with anything the Democrat hate machines like Colorado Media Matters, Colorado Pols, Square State, and ProgressNow put out. Most, if not all get paid by sources they won't name (thought ultimately to be Tim Gill and George Soros).

They have a candidate who is so liberal that he has never been called a moderate by any source we know of. People who are as far left as Mark Udall win in Boulder, but not in all of Colorado. Given that positioning, what are these paid media mercenaries left with? They try to trash Schaffer and sites like this one any way they can.

Over the next year to the election, you can expect quality from those who do their writing out of conviction, and name calling trash from the far left Democrat sites who get paid for propaganda. Watch and see.

Square State "Found" Us

Since we had linked to Square State several times, they did know that this blog existed. Note that although they name this blog, they are careful not to provide a link. They did provide a lot of bombast, though.

Mark Udall can feel proud to have these guys on his team, drinking buddies, so to speak.

The thing that people should remember about most left wing bloggers when running into stuff like this is that they are paid to for their "opinion." Actually, they are paid to be as nasty as they can be. If one of these paid bloggers started being truthful and responsible, their funding source would dry up.

No Conservative blogger receives a dime in outside funding, that we know of.

FISA Vote

Once again Mark Udall, Ed Perlmutter, and Diana DeGette demonstrate with their votes a shallow understanding of history. They are each too pacifistic to want to learn about the issues and technologies that might one day save countless American lives without in any way damaging 4th amendment protections for US citizens. That's what this vote was about, and they were on the wrong side of it.

The House passed the new FISA bill. Our understanding of this bill is that it eliminates an accidental legal roadblock to surveillance involving communications that originate in one foreign country, pass through communications switching in the United States, and are directed to another foreign country.

Readers may not know this, but the US and other countries have been doing exactly this since radio and telegraph communications began. The Zimmerman Telegram was an attempt by WWI Germany to entice Mexico into attacking to retake the Southeastern US. It was transmitted through the undersea cable from Germany to the US and on to Mexico. The undersea cable passed through Britain and was intercepted and decoded there.

Had that not happened, many American lives might have been lost to a surprise attack by Mexico. It doesn't seem likely that Mexico would have won, but having the Telegram made it impossible for Germany and Mexico to try.

That is just one of many historic examples of the interception of messages between hostile entities whose means of transmission passed through a third country and were intercepted there.

Hey Mark: Keep taking photos with soldiers in uniform and maybe people won't notice your lack of knowledge on military matters. Dukakas can likely arrange a tank ride, too.

Thanks to SquareState which has a whole different take, if you have the stomach to read it. Pun intended.
