Yeah, I know what I wrote here, But Jack does bring up some vary valid points.

The Southern Avenger says “Just Say No” to Government
When South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford was attacked by Republican state leaders for not accepting federal stimulus dollars, it was worth pointing out the utter uselessness of GOP politicians who refuse to follow through on their conservative rhetoric.
The Southern Avenger on “Lindsey Graham Republicans”
When Lindsey Graham denounced Ron Paul-style libertarianism and advocated for George W. Bush-style neoconservatism during a speech at the South Carolina Republican Convention, it was worth pointing out that Graham’s suggested GOP path is the road to nowhere.

The Southern Avenger on “Ron Paul Republicans”
While the GOP establishment continues to debate how the party lost its way, Republicans should consider the best path out of the wilderness – by following the one man who has always remained loyal to his party’s conservative roots.

Video: Laura Ingraham and Gloria Feldt yell at one another about Miss California Carrie Prejean
I don’t watch this stuff, because I do not much care for Laura Ingraham; her screechy harpy nasally voice makes my stomach turn. However, she does deserve a few points, i think, for putting this idiot feminist liberal bitch in her place.
Personally, I think the castigation of Miss California Carrie Prejean by the liberal left is just wrong. But the demagoguery of position of both sides, is just maddening.
I won’t watch it, but it’s good for hits, I suppose.

The Afternoon Music Express with………….Whitecross
There is no question, I am a fan of classic Christian Rock. Heck, I grew up on the stuff. One band that really stands out in my mind is WhiteCross. This tune here is from their first Album.
Every time I hear this tune. I am transported back to a much simpler time in my life.
This is originally from 1987; I could not find a video of the original song. Which sounded bad, because it was recorded with a drum machine.
Anyhow, This is WhiteCross with “Who will you follow?”

The Southern Avenger on “Tea Parties vs. The Warfare State”
How in praising the tea parties one week, then defending President Bush on torture and his “War on Terror” the next, conservatives negate their alleged anti-government message.
CNN tries to use heavy handed tactics to keep embarrassing clip of reporter off YouTube
Wow, what liberals will not to to cover their own backsides and make themselves look good. I blogged a little about this last week, about the CNN reporter who basically tried to make the Tea-Party protesters look like a bunch of Fox News devotees. Anyhow, well, a little clip of her being confronted by one of the persons at the Tea-Party was posted by the Blog, named “Founding Bloggers”, and was posted to YouTube. Well, CNN comes along and files a trademark infringement complaint and it gets yanked.
Patterico, who hates me with the heat of a thousand hells; picks it up:
I’m sick of people knocking embarrassing videos off YouTube with bogus copyright violation claims.
The latest culprit is CNN, a network that was recently embarrassed by a video of reporter Susan Roesgen cutting off tea-party protestors in Chicago, and assailing them with silly liberal talking points. The blog Founding Bloggers showed up on scene and caught her in further arguments with angry citizens who noted her biased coverage. I posted the Founding Bloggers video on Thursday.
[……..]
And if they take that one down, well, I happen to have my own copy sitting around here somewhere. I have posted it on YouTube as well.
They’ll probably take our copies down, too. If they do, I’ll look for other sites to upload it to, or perhaps try to embed it here on the blog. And I may take Ben Sheffner’s advice and file a DMCA counternotice. If CNN wants to sue me, we can make this a test case.
In the meantime, I encourage every reader with a YouTube account to upload this video to YouTube. I encourage every blogger reading this to embed this same video to your own site.
We have to stop these thugs from reading fair use out of the law whenever they’re embarrassed.
A man by the name of Ben Sheffner from the Blog “Copyrights and Campaigns“, offers this legal advice:
CNN does own copyright in its own news footage and, as a general matter, has the right to demand its removal from YouTube. However, as to this particular video, I think Founding Bloggers has a very strong fair use defense. The purpose for Founding Bloggers’ posting of the CNN footage is crystal clear: to comment on and criticize CNN’s reporting on the “Tea Party.” Such a use is right in the heartland of the fair use doctrine; the statute specifically mentions “criticism, comment, [and] news reporting” as protected uses that are “not an infringement of copyright.” 17 U.S.C. § 107. To quickly run through the four fair use factors as they apply here: 1) the use is transformative (for critical comment); 2) the CNN footage is factual, not fictional, and was previously broadcast; 3) the amount used is small in relation to the whole CNN broadcast; and 4) any effect on the market is minuscule (and if fewer people watch CNN because this video causes them to think less of its coverage, that’s simply not cognizable harm). Many fair use cases are difficult, close calls–but, given the facts as I know them, this is an easy one.
In others, CNN is full of it, and that if Patterico wants to file a lawsuit or in this case, a counter-suit, it would be an easy win. Me and Patterico have not always seen eye to eye on some things in the past. But I am with him on this one here; what CNN is doing here, is nothing more than outright fascism, controlling the message, controlling their image and trying to wipe out any sort of negative message out about their company. As far as I am concerned this is the exact thing that Hitler did in Nazi Germany in the 1940’s. He jailed and usually killed anyone that spoke out against him. The Communists did this as well. As does North Korea and Iran. So, I think CNN needs to back away from the censorship deal, because this could very well blow up in their faces. I mean, they are already being murdered in the ratings by Fox News and MSNBC as well and this sure is not going to help.
I wish Patterico all the best of luck in this one. Because I think that the MSM needs to be sent a message, and that message is that you cannot totally control your so called “Image” to the point of trying to make true reality disappear.

FEMA Coffins Conspiracy theory debunked, By a Conspiracy Theorist Website
Hey, I give them credit, they are checking their facts, more than one can say for, perhaps, the New York Times.
Hats off to them for condemning acts of violence against innocent people who are simply trying to work for a living.

The Early Evening Music Express with……Van Halen
This video makes me feel so old.
The Southern Avenger on “War is Generational Theft”
I post this with a little bit of a note. While I agree with Jack on the subject of Iraq. I disagree on Afghanistan. I believe that the war there can be won, if it is one properly. The problem is, President Obama will most likely not want to fight it properly; and because of the stupidity of the Bush Administration, we have most likely squandered our chances of winning that war without the possibility of large amounts of American Deaths.
Having said that, here’s the Video:
RedState Update on “North Korea Better Watch It”

The Southern Avenger on “Steadfast Sanford”
When hundreds of protesters showed up at the South Carolina statehouse to protest Gov. Mark Sanford’s refusal to accept $700 million in federal stimulus, it was worth noting how Sanford doesn’t represent economic disaster – but perhaps the only chance we’ve got.

Did Obama screw up by giving the Queen an iPod? Jackie and Dunlap weigh in.
The Southern Avenger on “9/11 Truths”
How “911 Truth” conspiracy theorists who believe the U.S. government orchestrated 911, aren’t any more “crazy” than those who believe Saddam Hussein did.
Uncle Jay Explains for March 30, 2009
President Obama obviously has been watching Uncle Jay, because he’s started doing online videos to answer your e-mailed questions. Uncle Jay is flattered, and will reciprocate by spending trillions of dollars.
Funny line of this Video. “Yeah and the Republicans said, “I bet that teleprompter does not pay it’s taxes either!” 😀
The Southern Avenger on “What Happened to the War on Terror?”
On the sixth anniversary of the war in Iraq, why are the loudest champions of the War on Terror no longer talking about it?
