Facebook Deletes Alex Jone’s Facebook page over use of the Gadsden Flag
“Facebook has sensationally banned the official Alex Jones Facebook page after a customer services representative admitted that all material containing images of the famous Gadsden flag was being deleted by the social networking giant”
And it wasn’t even limited to the official Alex Jones page, even a fan page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Real-Alex-Jones/) was deleted as well.
This, to me, shows that the Facebook management is falling into the trap of Obama era PC run awry. They continue to allow pages for murderers, fugitive criminals and many other more disgusting people/topics, but when it comes to legitimate and intelligent political discourse from the Right, it shuts them down.
This flag is a symbol of the original freedom that our forefathers fought for in the Revolution.
From Wikipedia:
Considered one of the first flags of the United States, the flag was later replaced by the current Stars and Stripes (or Old Glory) flag. Since the Revolution, the flag has seen times of reintroduction as a symbol of American patriotism, a symbol of disagreement with government, or a symbol of support for civil liberties.
For instance, unofficial usage of the Gadsden flag by the U.S. government has been seen, particularly in the wake of September 11, 2001, most notably by the Customs Service and harbor patrol boats in U.S. ports and individuals serving abroad in the U.S. military. The First Navy Jack, which was directly related to the Gadsden flag, has also been in use by the U.S. Navy, and since the terrorist attacks it is flown on all active naval ships. The rattlesnake from the flag is shown on the U.S. Army’s Drill Sergeant Identification Badge.
Facebook needs to stop being such Nazis when it comes to political expression, especially when it’s from the right, which is opposite of their viewpoint.
This is only bringing my one step closer to quitting them altogether.
Everyone who is outraged by this needs to download the picture of the flag and put it on your profile pic or photos page. This is about freedom!
Gov. Perry Backs Resolution Affirming Texas’ Sovereignty Under 10th Amendment
I’m a little less angry after listening to the Governor of Texas. Almost want to move there!
AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry today joined state Rep. Brandon Creighton and sponsors of House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 50 in support of states’ rights under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
“I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state,” Gov. Perry said. “That is why I am here today to express my unwavering support for efforts all across our country to reaffirm the states’ rights affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our state from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union.”
A number of recent federal proposals are not within the scope of the federal government’s constitutionally designated powers and impede the states’ right to govern themselves. HCR 50 affirms that Texas claims sovereignty under the 10th Amendment over all powers not otherwise granted to the federal government.
It also designates that all compulsory federal legislation that requires states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties, or that requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding, be prohibited or repealed.
HCR 50 is authored by Representatives Brandon Creighton, Leo Berman, Bryan Hughes, Dan Gattis and Ryan Guillen.

New Obama Administration
For the sake of our country, I hope Barry comes to his senses and truly does what’s best for everyone. Things are a bit rocky, but hopefully he’ll put forward his best foot when it comes to being bi-partisan on the major issues.
Here are a few that stick out the most in my mind at the moment.
Socialistic wealth redistribution
What would really help would not be to take from the rich and upper middle class and give to the poor. The best thing would be a tax holiday that would give us (the tax payers) our entire gross for 3-4 months… I would personally have many thousands more in my pocket over a few months. That money would go into the economy, I’d take a vacation, establish an emergency fund with my own money instead of depending on unemployment and assistance if I were to lose my job, etc. The working poor would also have quite a bit more money to buy things they need/want and catch up on bills/payments thus helping those companies. Helping those companies would then help their bottom line and create new jobs.
It’s a domino effect at all levels.
Amnesty for illegal aliens and promotion of multi-nation “unions”
Bad idea… The main reason for US economic decline has been the outsourcing of US manufacturing jobs to Mexico, China and others. If a US company decides to outsource manfacturing of their products, then their products should have a hefty tariff on it to deter it. Then if they decide to onshore that process, then the US Gov’t should give incentives like tax breaks and so on as long as the employees here are legal US citizens.
Amnesty is bad. It is never good. Period. If you disagree, leave a comment explaining yourself!
Weakening of our military through rapid pullback from Iraq and de-funding
Iraq is a place we cannot allow to fall back into dicktatorship. We must rebuild the infrastruture and ensure the new gov’t and their military can defend against insurgency and internal terrorism. Who better than them? They understand better the mindset of Al’Qaeda and other groups. Some of them may have even been involved in these organizations before “seeing the light”.
Funding of the military and Future weapon systems is crucial for the US to maintain superpower status now and into the future. Currently the US military is way ahead of any other country and must remain so into the future. To create peace, you must always prepare for war.
Environmental extremism
Specifically, the global warming movement and carbon credits… Biggest scam in modern times.
Fairness Doctrine
Radio programs should not be FORCED to give “equal time” to anyone. There should be conservative shows, liberal shows, etc. None of them should be forced off the air for not complying with this “doctrine”. People will listen to whatever they want.
Sarah Palin – Joe Biden Debate
Starting this blog fresh….
Just got done watching the VP Debate and felt that Sarah Palin held her own very well! Biden (old fart), in my opinion, is just a typical Washington insider (snake) that spewed out rhetoric and factual inaccurate (lies) statements about John McCain.
This Angry Conservative is a little less angry tonight considering Sarah did so well. I was starting to worry about the McCain campaign’s momentum, but now it is in full swing. When you have people like Joe Lieberman, Rudy Guiliani and others coming out saying Sarah did the best in any VP debate they can remember is telling… We’ll know here in about a month whether the American people agree.
I think they will.
Here is the Drudge poll at the time of this post… Pretty darn good. Palin has lost a little ground, but now the Libs are probably coming out in force to try and sway the poll from a “fair” gauge of American opinion.
