Abunai's Blog

Sorry Congresswoman, but these are BLOGS.  A DIALOG forum for people to have the chance to voice themselves to each other.  You have turned your comments off, and that makes it now an editorial, and you have silenced the people within this forum.  So now with respect Madam, I cut and paste your "editorial" where others can voice their view.  I fought to defend the people's freedom of speach for over 20 years, and now disabled and retired, I still continue the fight!

Senator Hillary Clinton asked all at the convention to remember that in order to win, you have to keep going.  She said Harriett Tubman told people escaping to freedom to keep going, even when they heard the dogs barking.  She said keep going even when others want to take you back into servitude.  Senator Clinton stressed in her key note speech last night that Democrats have to keep going if we want students trained to compete in a global economy.  She said it's important  to keep going so that women will receive equal pay for equal work and seniors will be able to retire and having savings for their golden years.  She asked if her supporters were in the race just because of her or were they there because of the soldiers in Iraq and people who can't get medical care because they don't have insurance.  She made the point that the campaign was about all the people who are locked out of the American dream.  Therefore, she asked her supporters to unite behind Barack Obama and return a Democrat to the White House in 2008.

In Senator Clinton's words, though she did not break the glass ceiling, she put 18 million cracks in it.  She ran an awesome race and will serve as a role model for my daughters and granddaugthers who are trying to find their place in the world.  Democrats on Tuesday addressed the things that are important to the Party and to Americans.  Speakers before Mrs. Clinton addressed health care, equal pay, retirement benefits, funding for higher education, the freedom to collective bargain and join a union and a higher minimum wage.

To prepare for the future, Americans were urged to manufacture hybrid vehicles made by American workers.  We were encouraged to pay well qualified teachers and provide them with the resources necessary to prepare students to compete with nations like China, which is going for the gold.  Democrats were asked to focus on the future and not the past in a 21st Centure economy. 

Former Senator Bob Graham spoke to Florida Democrats this morning at breakfast and stated that  in his 40 years of service to Florida, this is his 10th Democratic Convention.  He reminded the group that John F. Kennedy gave his acceptance speech in the Los Angeles Coliseum, the largest stadium in America at the time.  He said he thought it is significant that Barack Obama will deliver his acceptance speech at Invesco Field at the MiIe High Stadium.  Though he served with John McCain for 18 years, Senator Graham asked Florida Delegates to support Senator Barack Obama who will help Americans begin the process of restoring our economy and our standing in the world.  Tonight Vice Presidential nominee Joe Biden will speak followed by former President Bill Clinton. 

Apparently she didn't like the comments she recieved from her last visit, so this time she has coments off?  Sorry Congresswoman, I will simply put your voice to the people where they can return the favor...

Earlier this week Geraldine_Thompson a Florida Congresswoman posted on the blogs here, and her comments were on, and many people responded in a fashion while respectful, was not likely what she wanted to hear.  Now those posts are gone, and we now have new topics, but the Congresswoman apparently has turned off her comments, thus relegating this forum into an editorial.  Madam Congresswoman, you came here I hope to engage in dialog with fellow Floridians, and to silence the voice in this fashion is below you!  If I wanted to be left to propaganda, and spin without a voice, I can simply read from Daily KOS, MoveON, or even read any of the Socialist websites that practice the same!   Practices such as this along with the support of the Fairness Doctrine that is for silence of the radio forums, simply because you are unwilling to engage in debate of substance, and perspective is very disappointing. 

I am also disappointed in the MYFOXORLANDO webteam for allowing and practicing such behavior.  From sensoring exposure or anti-american PolicSci Professors at UCF, and now this?  I may be one of the little people around here, but I saw too many people fight and die to defend the right of free speach, and this type of practice is a slap in the face to all Americans!

I will now post this in the Tampa and Colorado sites where I know it will get put up, and hope that maybe someone in Orlando will come to their senses.

no Abunai, I took my debate(s) to more educational blogs i.e. thehuffingtonpost.com msnbc.com abcnews.com, not websites where i PAY to get my points across..... see ya

While I still am VERY disappointed in MYFOXORLANDO for editing (sensoring) my postson the lads Iranian Professor that he brought up as the man that shaped his political ideals.  I linked some very distrubing publications on the open web from his Professor that were VERY anti-American, and those posts were deleted by the web admin. 

So I now after going to College myself in Boulder, Co when Ward Chruchill was FINALLY disgraced in public after being exposed, find it odd that in central FL we can't  even allow links to other radical professors in our backyard!

You can see by the latest post from this UCF student the result of the fine education UCF is producing!

The Clintons are going to have two nights of grandstanding at the Democrat Convention!  Hillary folks from her supporters, to groups like the PUMAs and others have lined up a couple short performances or movies for the week, to "celebrate" the fantastic campaign that Hillary ran.   Really!

This convention will even include a floor vote too?  Is this really a party convention or is it a Funeral and Eulogy for the political career of the Clintons?

Evidently the Clintons have just been spending too much time in the middle east making 7 figures!  They now are practicing martyrdom!!

The very pair that pushed a bill for fighting global poverty, under the radar, only a voice vote, and attached it to something else to get it passed!  Obama the author, Biden the carrier pigeon!

So this is the "Change" ticket?  Really?  After pounding McCain for being one of the old Washington insiders that needs to go, Obama picks a VP that has been in the Senate SIX YEARS LONGER?  LOL! 

The sixth longest serving Senator EVER!  The man who in debate ridiculed Obama as unexperienced, and McCain as a man he would campaign for or support?

Biden, while I like his down to earth speaking, and off the cuff antics.  Is about to make the Democrat party into the most entertaining election in history!  This man is still unaware that he can't operate as he has been used to since 73 with a biased media to cover  and protect him.  This is the man that the "black vote" said made racial slurs at saying Obama was the cleanest black man yet!   

Oh!  This is going to be fun!

So lets see now... a Vietnam Navy decorated war hero.... struggling along after the war... ends up getting married and the second wife is LOADED!  Off to the Senate to serve the country that you risked your life for more than once, and enjoying the wealth and riches that you and the new wife have shared and made together...

This kind of person in 2004 was the perfect person to be the President of the United States!  But somehow that all changes in 2008?

Sen. Kerry vs. Sen McCain  hmmmm...

Democrats once again, forgot that some of us remember what they said just less than 4 years ago!  This is what happens when you fight for an AGENDA instead of a PRINCIPLE.   This is where Democrats operate without a CORE, and think it avails them the opportunity to be all over the map on issues...

This whole thing isn't about 7 houses.. It not about Obama not knowing which of the 57 States he plans on purchasing his next home in!!!

THIS is the actions of a very desperate Party that should be walking away with a landslide, and strong majority, but are loosing it BY THEIR OWN HAND!!

Again.. liberal coward can't turn on comments.... so for fair and balance,.....

So now I usually don't care about personal insults, as to me it signals that the liberal view that has now been exhausted trying to defend itself, or frustrated over its exposure.

I've been called many things but now if we are going to have to all blog here under probation, and all our posts screened before being accepted to any paticular blog, then gems like the following really have no excuse being posted here.

You really are lame Abunai, do you have any friends?? Furthermore theres no way your wife has a phd and a masters or whatever u said.. Theres no way she could be that smart and be with a idiot like you... sorry man, there's just no way, unless she's booksmart but a idiot too... two idiots belong together

I guess I should add my children to my profile now so the webteam can allow personal attacks towards them as well!

Great Job Web Team!! 

Speaker Pelosi today so enraged with the GOP's relentless exposure of the Democrats refusal to do anything on the energy issue that has even a wiff of drilling, turned off the cameras, and lights today on the floor.  Democrats refuse to allow a vote, or remain in secession, and think that now the news and pressure on oil and energy will just stop for the next 5 weeks. 

Oh Mrs. Speaker.. you are now about to learn the hard way once again.  President Bush in a lame duck position is going to become your worst nightmare for the  next 5 weeks as he will bring your obstruction of oil drilling to the cameras every chance he gets!  No amount of local damage control by liberals in their home districts will be able to compete with a national voice, and the media no longer is going to shelter the Democrats from it.

Pushing the issue on the front of EVERY voting citizen closer to election day will only make things worse for the left.  Mrs. Speaker... you will NEVER get the last word, and yoru arrogance will be the demise of your party.

A spokeswoman for Udall says the congressman was on his way back to Washington when the vote was called with only 10 minutes’ notice.

Udall had asked the House to delay the vote, but the resolution was passed by one vote, 213-212.

During Monday’s debate moderated by FOX 31 anchor and 2031 host Ron Zappolo, Republican Senate Candidate Bob Schaffer challenged Udall to vote against the recess and Udall accepted the challenge. Both candidates are running for the hotly contested Colorado U.S. Senate seat.

Not suprised that the "Get Bush" folks who will stop at nothing, are at it again.  Rove earlier this week found in contempt of Congress for not showing up for a hearing, and now Harriet Meyers and Bolton have not been found as off limits to investigation into the firing of 9 attnys.  The Iraq war obstruction didn't work, FISA didn't work, DUIs didn't work, and now with only months left before Bush is gone, the liberals are absolutely desperate!

Clinton fired ALL the appointed attnys, and then place one in Arkansas just long enough to sit and rule in his favor on some issues then stepped down.  NOBODY wants to report she worked on his campaign staff first and didn't have the ethical mind to step aside.

What a fantastic week in politics!

Apparently, citizens of Alabama have been selling their absentee ballots for everything from paving their driveways, to crack!  Reports of people voting multiple times.  Now if you are wondering who, then the response from a recent receiptiant of elected office says its just a ploy by Republicans to try to oppress the black vote in Alabama!  WOW!

As soon as the heat is on, the race card is played by Democrats in that state!
