Grassley presses the Obama administration on Watchdogs
Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) this week suggested that the Obama administration is attempting to interfere with investigations conducted by government watchdogs and said he will continue to press the White House for information regarding the recent dismissal of Gerald Walpin, the inspector general for the Corporation for National and Community Service.
“I kind of get the impression that there’s kind of a crusade early on in this administration to, how would you say it, short circuit inspectors general,” Grassley said earlier this week during an interview.
Apparently it is too uppity for Walpin to actually do his job of auditing, especially when there is a suspicion of corruption, how dare he!
How dare Obama obstruct justice.

An outstanding Flag Day rally was held on the steps of the Chester County Courthouse today. About 150 patriots gathered to celebrate the Flag and nation it represents. Thank You Sheepdogs for making this day happen!
Special thanks to Rep Curt Schroder, Carolyn “Bunny” Welsh, Chris Hill and West Chester’s Mayor - Dick Yoder for taking time out of their hectic schedule to participate in this event. Videos of their speeches are posted below the fold. I’ve posted a few photos from the event for you to peruse. The complete set of photos can be found on FLICKR
UPDATE: The DLN published a great article on the Sheepdog’s Flag Day celebration. I congratulate Dan Kristie on confirming what many Sheepdogs had speculated - the CCPM is simply a political front, with no real interest in peace or supporting our troops:
Peace Movement leader Karen Porter said that, now that Barack Obama is president, many of the Peace Movement demonstrators feel they have accomplished their goal. “A lot of us have chosen to step back and let Obama do what he has to do,” Porter said.

Today I came across a tweet by TommyXtopher:
Will be off the grid for awhile dealing with the fact that I just got fired by PoliticsDaily.com…
Yes, you read that correctly, an in-the-tank liberal media guy was fired. What is the world coming to?
In a recent article entitled “Bad Bunny“ Tommy takes on the Playboy’s vicious slam on conservative women. In response to the negative feedback generated by the article Playboy pulled the article. However, Caleb Howe captured screen shots - WARNING: NSFW! It is a good illustration of the new era of peace ushered in by the Obama administration. Vile attacks on conservative women are commonplace in this new era.
While it is one thing to attack conservatives in with impunity, it is absolutely intolerable to go against another player in the Party. There is zero tolerance for dissent amongst Democrats and liberals - one strike and your out.
In an interview with NewsBusters, Christopher recounts his success as a writer for AOL:
As Christopher notes in the statement he released to NewsBusters he was a productive and successful writer for AOL. He is a well respected, widely read, and widely linked writer. His stories and opinions have been featured on Bill O’Reilly, Hot Air, Red State, The College Politico, The Daily Kos, The Huffington Post, and even NewsBusters. It seems highly unlikely that AOL fired him for lack of performance and it is important to note that nobody has claimed that as of now.
With all of this it seems that coincidental timing is an extremely hard sell for why Tommy Christopher was fired by AOL News today. It appears that Christopher was intent on covering a story which he found to be particularly important but that Aol News had “internally decided” was off limits.
Has the fact that AOL’s parent company, Time Warner, has a business relationship with Playboy may have affected their editorial decisions? After all Time Warner is a major national distributor of Playboy TV through their cable company.
I have met Tommy personally and find I disagree with everything he says. To his credit, he has learned never to cross me and has personally apologized for his rude behavior during a past conversation. As much as I disagree with him, I agree that he has a right to speak his mind - even if I believe he has lost his 
I was surprised to see he included me in one of his recent articles. Tommy is a good writer and liberal, he is bound to rebound from this debacle.

BREAKING: Official Document says Black Panther was “representing the Democratic Party”
Yesterday, Curt posted on this highly racial statement by the Black Panthers at a Philly voting location:
Racially charged statements by armed black panthers who happen to work for the Dem party in Philly. No surprise the DOJ spiked the charges against the three black panthers.

Get Over It…We Won.
History is (re)-Written by the Winners.
Caleb investigates the mysterious anti-American campaign ads featuring History Channel logos posted on the CLIO advertising awards website. The campaign is entitled “History is Written by the Winner” and featured the following photos:
If peace is priceless, why are those on the left obsessively counting its cost? We are just starting out in the Age of Obama, this will not be the last assault on America or our recent history. Quite frankly, I believe the behavior of misleading historical context will be encouraged over the next four years.
I am so wearing this to a Sheepdog rally, it will drive the moonbats to even greater heights of moonbattery!
It was late when I recorded this, but it was a ton of fun and the glass of wine (A delicious Chilean red) is out of the frame

Mothers Day 2009

Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.
~George Cooper
The Sheepdogs gathered under overcast skies and soft rain - 30 in total - to celebrate what is good in America. Now how could anyone in West Chester call that radical? I love this hearty bunch of patriots!
Quentin is this week’s recipient of the Coin - Congratulations, Quentin!
The public never disappoints, and this week was no exception - the honks from the passing motorists was deafening.
Come join us! We celebrate America every Saturday at the corner of High and Market Streets in West Chester, Pa. 10:45 till Noon. See you there!
…and declares himself a ‘Democrat‘!
About time, my boy! A Rino that marred the brand of the GOP has now left the room. 2010 is looking good for real change in the political landscape of Pennsylvania as the voters respond to this crass political move.
The brighter side of Philly’s blogosphere weighs in on this announcement:
Blonde Sagacity: Coward
The Bitter American: Quisling
First In! : Good Riddance
Chairman Steele weighs in:
“Let’s be honest — Sen. Specter didn’t leave the GOP based on principles of any kind,” said Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele. “He left to further his personal political interests because he knew that he was going to lose a Republican primary due to his left-wing voting record.

In 2007 Real Clear Politics published an article detailing the uproar in congress over destroyed ‘terror tapes’. In the article, Porter Goss places Madame Pelosi along with the top members of the intelligence committees at a ‘virtual tour’ of CIA interrogation facilities in 2002:
Their article described some of the background to last week’s congressional uproar over the CIA’s destruction of so-called “terror tapes” that had been made during harsh interrogations of captured al-Qaeda terrorists. It turned out that back in September 2002, four top members of the intelligence committees — including Rep. Nancy Pelosi, who is now House speaker — had been given a “virtual tour” of CIA interrogation facilities overseas. They heard descriptions of some of the harsh techniques that would be used, including the now-infamous practice known as waterboarding.
“Among those being briefed, there was a pretty full understanding of what the CIA was doing. And the reaction in the room was not just approval, but encouragement,” former Rep. Porter Goss told the Post reporters. He attended the 2002 briefing, along with Pelosi, as chairman of the House intelligence committee. He later served from 2004 to 2006 as CIA director.
Shocking! The Speaker of the House knew and condoned the use of expanded interrogation techniques, such as waterboarding? Say it ain’t so, Joe!
Here, Sir, the people govern….
A Tea Party that exceeded every expectation and renewed our passion to bring this country back to good. A brisk, windy day brought together nearly 400 patriots to express our frustration with the path our government has recklessly embarked upon. It was heartening to see many people laying down their silence and picking up a sign!
