Jan 8th, 2011

UPDATE - THIS IS A DIFFERENT LINK THAN WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED. AS I WAS WORKING HURRIEDLY TO FIND FOOTAGE, I DID NOT CLOSELY VIEW THE END OF THE ORIGINAL CLIP. WHOMEVER POSTED IT WITH A DEROGATORY MESSAGE TO REP. GIFFORDS OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED. WE APOLOGIZE FOR HELPING IN ANY WAY TO DISSEMINATE THEIR MESSAGE.

As we pray for all those wounded and killed in Arizona today, it's worth taking a moment to honor Rep. Gabrielle Giffords as she reads the 1st Amendment this past Wednesday. Rep. Giffords wounds are grave but she is said to be stable. Please pray for her recovery. 

Excuse Me?

Over at The Hill, Bernie Quigly has written what may be one the most poorly constructed Obama hit-pieces we've ever read. It rambles through the usual rightist memes while adding to the new victim-culture that is rotting away the conservative movement. 


Then, there is this jaw-dropper ridiculing NY Mayor Bloomberg's very principled defense of the first amendment. "This is fetishistic and cultish: constitutionalism unanchored from reality to become a pseudo-or-secular religion and a crazy one."


Read that again. The basic support of our most cherished principle is "fetishistic and cultish"?
