Pennsylvnia Federation of College Republicans

The PA Federation of College Republicans announced today their official endorsement of Thought! Creative, the company behind the recently-debuted PACR website (www.pacollegerepublicans.com), as well as a personal endorsement of the site’s creator, Vincent Arezzi.

State Chairman Anthony Pugliese stated, ”We were very pleased with the website developed by Thought! Creative. The quality of work and attention to detail exceeded our expectations”.

Through our partnership with Thought! Creative, the PA CRs have negotiated a special offer for any state organization looking to enhance their presence on the web.  Any State CR Federation looking for functionality similar to the PA Website but with their own unique design can have it for under $2,000. This package would include a Home page, Board Member Bios page, Events List page (with google calendar integration), a contact page, donate page, sign-up page, youtube, flickr, google analytics and wordpress integration.

State Co-Chairman Mike Ubbens commented, “Our previous website had very little traffic and was difficult to update. Now we can easily update the events in Google calendar and add blog posts as we desire.  Our traffic has improved greatly and our blogging community is growing.“

For more details on this package please contact Thought! Creative at info@thoughtcreative.com and ask for the “State CR package”.

“Shifting from his previous opposition to expanded offshore drilling, the Illinois senator told a Florida newspaper he could get behind a compromise with Republicans and oil companies to prevent gridlock over energy.”

A little too late, Senator. He conveniently waited until the house Dems shut the lights off on the house Republicans to announce this CHANGE. This is politics as usual.

As the election nears, one issue seems to have been given the backseat to the economy, energy and Iraq: education.  McCain and Obama have fundamental differences about how to change the education system in America and one of the most talked about differences is school choice or vouchers.

Recently Senator Obama pandered to the American Federation of Teachers convention when he said “What I do oppose is using public money for private school vouchers. We need to focus on fixing and improving our public schools; not throwing our hands up and walking away from them.”

With the advent of the Internet common citizens now more than ever before around the United States and world find themselves better able to project their own political thoughts. This fact is particularly true as social trends in the Web 2.0 generation take hold. Social news websites such as Digg , Reddit , and Propeller allow users to vote a particular story to the front page, demand and direct massive traffic to other websites throughout the Internet.

Barack Obama said inflating your tires will increase gas mileage and therefore, we don’t need to drill. What?! Again, dodging the issues.

This is getting very frustrating. When will he learn? The American people are realizing it. The polls are showing it. He obviously hasn’t yet.

And he still argues that the surge failed, even though he deleted content off the website, since he hasn’t completely made up his mind.

FLIP FLOP.

…more to come.

It is no secret that Hollywood is notoriously known for being overtly liberal. Few are surprised when an Oscar acceptance speech turns into a diatribe about the Iraq war, or celebrities stump for Democrats running for office. What many often overlook are the (decidedly small) ranks of Republicans who are actors for television of movies. Sure, Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger are by far the most prominent, but there are other conservatives populating movie trailers and back lots.

Back in 2004, AMC aired a documentary called “Rated R: Republicans in Hollywood” which first opened my eyes to a counter to the liberal Ben Afflecks and Barbra Streisands that seem to take many of the headlines when it came to support for politicians. They highlighted a few individuals who I hadn’t known were conservative - Patricia Heaton (”Everybody Loves Raymond”), Pat Sajak (”Wheel of Fortune”), Drew Carey (if I remember right, he described himself as a libertarian or ‘a conservative who likes to get high’), Adam Sandler and Heather Locklear, as well as others who I knew, or weren’t surprised to hear, like Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson, Ben Stein, Donald Trump and Chuck Norris.

The list goes on of Republican actors both past and present: Fred Thompson, Frank Sinatra, Charleton Heston (”cold, dead hands” anyone?), John Wayne, Bob Hope, Britney Spears, James Woods, Kid Rock, Kelsey Grammer, “The Rock” (spoke at the Republican Convention in 2004), Jessica Simpson, Jon Voight, Alice Cooper, Jim Belushi, Clint Eastwood (he actually served as a Republican mayor of a small town in California from ‘86-’88), Brooks and Dunn, Rip Torn, Sonny Bono, Tom Selleck and undoubtedly more.

“It is puzzling to the court that the promotion of tolerance would take the appearance of such intolerance as is contained in the religious materials distributed with the Safe Space program.” Federal Judge Owen Forrester writing on diversity at Georgia Tech.

The Atlanta-Journal Constitution (AJC) may have taken the place of The New York Times as both the most liberal and least credible paper in America. And Andrea Jones may well be the least professional reporter at the AJC.

Some will recall Jones’ crass assertion that plaintiffs in the recent Sklar v. Clough federal case against Georgia Tech were suing for the right to be “intolerant.” When I called her out on this, she responded via email suggesting I lacked credibility by saying that I was just a “blogger.” This is significant because I have never “blogged” nor inhaled while doing so. In other words, Jones used a factual inaccuracy in an effort to defend herself against my accusation that she is prone to factual inaccuracies. People like Andrea Jones make my job very easy. Now, I can even wear pajamas while I work.

Of course, when a federal judge stated that, in this case, he was surprised by the level of intolerance in the name of tolerance exhibited by Georgia Tech, Jones was not there to give the statement the ink it deserved. But she did help Tech lie about crucial aspects of the case, which have now been brought to light by Judge Owen Forrester. Read the rest of this entry »

I found this relevant to previous comments to one of my posts. I find it to no surprise that McCain made this jump in the polls. He’s been doing the right things - being honest with the people. Is the American public realizing who Senator Barack Obama really is?

I hope so. Only time will tell.

The Golan Heights in my opinion is the most strategically important area I have ever seen. When Syria had it prior to the 6 day war they on a daily and hourly basis fired cannons and rockets in to Israel. Not at military bases, but at cities and homes where men, women, and children live. It is for these reasons Israel took it from Syria, demilitarized it, and as of now refuses to give it back to Syria. It became incredibly clear to me, along with as far as I know everyone on the trip (Republican and Democrat), how crucial it is for Israel not to give this territory away. When I stood on top of the Golan Heights I could see a few things. Looking towards Israel on a clear day you can see nearly the entire country. I am not being sarcastic when I say this either, Israel is about the size of New Jersey so at this altitude and location you can truly see nearly the entire county. Therefore, with cannons that can fire hundreds of miles hundreds of thousands and towards the end of the war millions were at risk of being shelled. Looking towards Syria, I saw Syrian tanks pointed right at me. These were not abandoned tanks either; these were Syrian tanks that I have no doubt were simply awaiting the order to attempt to retake the Golan Heights. It would not take Syria long to re-militarize the Golan Heights either, as there is a fortified Syrian bunker on top of the mountain, which is not just used for tours. This bunker is still intact and you can see where all of the cannon and gun locations Syria once had pointing at Israel.

In my opinion ISRAEL MUST AND CANNOT GIVE BACK THE GOLAN HEIGHTS TO SYRIA!! 

What exactly was Barack Obama doing in the middle east and Germany last week? It would appear as though Mr. Obama was working on diplomatic relations with the countries that he visited; trying to iron out a plan for troop withdrawalin Iraq as well as discussing the need for more troops in Afghanistan. The liberal media has portrayed Mr. Obama’s trip as being enlightening and truth revealing pertaining to our military status in Iraq.
