Oh Democrats!

You are the ruin of "American the Beautiful" by wanting to have Change instead of just waving that flag and letting things be.

I was at Invesco Field the night of Barack Obama's acceptance speech. I thought I was there to witness history. Senator Inhofe has informed us that anything having to do with Barack Obama is all about his lack of patriotism. And since Democrats love Obama, it'll be easy to make up stories about how they hate the US of A too.

Did you hear the one about how 12,000 US flags had been "thrown away" by the Dems and later recued by a Republican patriot? Funny because the minute the event finished there were freaked out volunteers imploringus to take home the flags. If not, they were rather insistent on returning the flags to them immediately.

Anyway, who knew I was there to witness the gathering of 75,000 US of A hating Democrats. And it's more incredible to think I have photographic evidence!

John Kerry and Newt Gingrich are debating the government's role in dealing with global climate change this morning at 10 am EDT, and enviromentally-minded netizens will be blogging about it in real time.

The debate, hosted by New York University’s John Brademas Center for the Study of Congress, will take place in the Russell Senate Office Building and will be broadcast live by C-Span and simultaneously webcast at http://c-span.org.

As TheHill.com notes, this event ought to be a thinking-man's matchup well worth watching:

Kerry, who bowed out of the 2008 presidential race earlier this year, has been dubbed an “environmental champion” by the non-partisan League of Conservation Voters. His website touts a long record of fighting for the environment. He and his wife Teresa Heinz Kerry also recently wrote This Moment on Earth, which addresses climate change and preserving the environment.

"Newt’s a guy who has spent a lot of time wrestling with climate change and the environment. He reads about it, he teaches about it, he writes about it,” Kerry said Thursday. “We don’t see eye to eye about everything, obviously, but that’s what makes for a good debate.

“As a father, when someone tells me that within the next decade, if we don't deal with global warming, our children and grandchildren may deal with global catastrophe, that tells me I damn well better do whatever I can to help make Washington deal with this responsibly,” Kerry added. “We need these good old-fashioned debates and forums and discussions to get everyone thinking creatively on both sides of the aisle.”
