Wictory Wednesday: Max Burns

Crossposted from Part-time Pundit:

This week Wictory Wednesday presents Max Burns for the US Congress for the 12th District of Georgia. He is running a tight race against Democratic incumbent John Barrow.

The Israeli war in Lebanon has shown what will happen if we pull out of Iraq… the terrorists will claim victory and emerge even stronger and more emboldened. Max Burns understands this and supports the troops to complete their mission. We should live in a society that respects and supports those who risk their lives for our benefit. Sadly, we don’t live in that society.

Max Burns understands that immigration doesn’t require reform; it requires actually enforcing the laws on the books. Not enforcing the law has led to lawlessness and before any question of guest workers can be introduced, law and order needs to return to that segment of society.

The infamous “Bridge to Nowhere” has shown us that even a GOP lead Congress can still waste money. That is why earmark reform and a line item veto is all the more necessary. When pork can be put into budgets without debate (earmarks), the line item veto allows voters to put the heat on the President to bring sense back to Congressional spending. The GOP has gotten half of the equation right in lowering taxes… now they need to cut spending. Max Burns supports this in the form of a balanced budget.

Families waste days and weeks each year trying to figure out their “fair share” of taxes. Not even the IRS can figure out the tax code… a book that is over 12 times larger than the Bible! Max Burns supports cleaning up the tax code so that families can clearly understand what the owe… and the IRS can even figure it out too.

Please consider donating or volunteering to the Max Burns campaign. Help turn this blue seat red!

Boycott CITGO

Thanks to Jay of Stop the ACLU for the heads up on this. Hugo Chavez the sulfur-sniffer owns CITGO oil. He came to our country to pimp oil to the UN and shamelessly insults our country by suggesting that we planned the 9/11 tragedy and called Pres. Bush the devil. CITGO held a rally for Chavez the day after that speech at a church, where he repeated his tripe.
**DO NOT buy gas from CITGO!**

UPDATE~~At a press conference Chavez stated that he regretted not meeting Noam Chomsky before his death.

Ummmm…Hugo, Chomsky is still alive.

Oriana Fallaci, RIP

Oriana Fallaci died last Friday, Sept 15th. She was 77. Here’s a look at her life:

Fallaci set the pace for a daring life when she joined Italy’s anti-fascist resistance as a teenager during World War Two, then showed the same fearlessness as a war correspondent.She covered conflicts in Vietnam, the Middle East, and Latin America at a time when few women braved the front lines, and was shot and beaten in 1968 during student demonstrations in Mexico.

Later, she succeeded in fiction with novels including “A Man,” inspired by her love affair with Greek resistance fighter Alexandros Panagoulis.

Her exchanges with Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, the Shah of Iran, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and other leaders, collected in her book “Interview with History,” stood out for her provocative, uncompromising questioning.

Oriana Fallaci in The New Yorker:

For two decades, from the mid-nineteen-sixties to the mid-nineteen-eighties, Fallaci was one of the sharpest political interviewers in the world. Her subjects were among the world’s most powerful figures: Yasir Arafat, Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi, Haile Selassie, Deng Xiaoping. Henry Kissinger, who later wrote that his 1972 interview with her was “the single most disastrous conversation I have ever had with any member of the press,” said that he had been flattered into granting it by the company he’d be keeping as part of Fallaci’s “journalistic pantheon.” It was more like a collection of pelts: Fallaci never left her subjects unskinned.
