Who We Are


We are not the stereotype of the typical Republican. We drink. We smoke. We cuss. We like The Simpsons and Family Guy, but we love South Park. We are Goldwater Girls Gone Wild and cynical punk rockers and drunk frat boys and bong-toting Burkeans and chain smoking blue collars and right-wing ravers and conservative clubbers and postmodern iconoclasts and Wall Streeters partying like it's 1982. We are metalheads and deadheads and parrotheads. Our heroes include Johnny Ramone, Jonah Goldberg, Greg Gutfeld, Hank Jr., P.J. O'Rourke, Alice Cooper, Gene Simmons, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, Ted Nugent, Neal Peart of Rush, Kid Rock, Andy Levy, Andrew Breitbart and Frank Kelly Rich. We love Ronald Reagan and PBR with straight shots, and Margaret Thatcher and fine cigars with Scotch. We often lean more libertarian than traditional conservative on certain issues, and would love to kick the ass of anyone wearing a Che t-shirt. We care a helluva lot more about a candidate's tax policy than past drug use. We are well informed on pop culture, the latest music, and Milton Friedman. We read National Review, Ayn Rand, and The Onion. Our religious beliefs range from devout to atheist, but we are more likely to be nursing a hangover on Sunday morning than in a church pew. And we are getting damn tired of people exclaiming, "YOU'RE a Republican?!?!"

The Insanity of Linda Milazzo and the Huffington Post

I had the "privilege" of sitting next to Linda Milazzo at the Palin Rally in Carson, CA on October 4th. Of course, I wouldn't have known I was sitting next to Linda, but she was wearing a CNN PRESS BADGE around her neck which was affixed to a CNN badge holder. This decoration drew my attention. But, the reason that drew MORE of my attention to my neighbor was her disparaging and insulting remarks during Mr. John Voight's speech. I was thinking, wow, this woman has some hate for John. She stated, no less than 5 times, "how many times did you cheat on your wife, John." I have to admit, I was thinking to myself, "how many times did Clinton cheat on Hillary? John Edwards on his wife?"

I didn't know who this woman was, yet, I thought that her behavior was, at best, odd. So, I asked her if she would like a McCain/Palin sign. Which she, in turn, curtly responded, "NO, I'm working." Wow! I thought. I am sitting next to a woman from CNN/press who is practicing her objectivity. So, I took a closer look at her badge and noticed she was representing Newton, PA. So I asked if she was from Pennsylvania and had noticed an East coast accent. With which, she replied, "No, New York. New York City." I then said, "You traveled a long way for this event!" She responded that she now lived in LA for twenty or so years.

As we were waiting for Governor Palin to arrive, I saw her badge and noticed her name. I then sat down. Linda was feverishly typing into her PDA. SO, of course, being the curious neighbor and a guilty snoop, I read what she was typing.

Here is what Linda Milazzo wrote (and I quote): "At the Palin rally. It is scary to know that there are this many American's who are so stupid. It is no wonder why we are hated by the rest of the world."

Repeat that phrase. Repeat it again. I was shocked but not surprised. It is not often that a member of the press is a fan of a republican or a republican supporter. In Linda's blog on Huffington Post, she saw the crowd as a "frightening mix of Christian zealots, anti-abortion fanatics, and mostly white suburban women and men reconnecting with their high school mentality."

That's all Linda saw because that is what gives her press and keeps being a champion for her "cause." I saw and talked to a very diverse mix. Women, former Hillary supporters, Democrats, Republicans, Hispanics, African-Americans, Asians, men, women, young, old, the NOW organization, Surfers for McCain, etc.. Although the rally started at 2pm, I arrived at 10 am and waited for 2 hours in line. This gave me an opportunity to talk to a lot of different people.

Like the Asian man and small business owner from Long Beach. He stood next to me in line and indicated that he was there to support a women who worked hard like he had all of his life. He connected to a person, like Sarah Palin, who came from a middle-class family and fought for what she thought was right and worked hard every day to provide for her family and give back to her community. I spoke to an African-American woman, in her 20's, that wanted to be part of history. She was there because she admired Sarah for her strength and tenacity as a woman and she thought that she was a good example to all women. I spoke to a teacher from Claremont, a Democrat, who couldn't vote Democrat anymore,because, in her opinion, the "liberal democrats had destroyed her school system."

According to Linda's objective opinion, these people were stupid.

So, imagine my surprise when Linda and I had the chance to "meet" and when I saw she was from the press and when I read her PDA. Imagine my surprise, when, at 2pm, the President from the LA chapter of the NOW organization, Shelly Mandel, came to the stage to ENDORSE and introduce Sarah Palin.

I listened to Sarah. Linda listened sporadically. Linda would record for a few seconds and then stop, record and stop, and this CENSORED practice continued for the entire 20 minutes of Governor Palin's speech. It was now evident, that Linda Milazzo was not wearing her press badge to report the truth. Linda was hiding behind her badge in order to promote her own agenda.

My anger was growing and then was finally tested. Linda, with her Press badge hanging around her neck and affixed to a CNN badge holder, starts to scream and chant at Palin "You are a LIAR, you are a LIAR. So, I screamed louder and directly in her ear, "You are an IDIOT, You are an IDIOT." This face off lasted approximately 2 minutes and was captured by the LA times. Linda was escorted by security and ushered out of the stadium, the speech ended, and I went home and googled this Linda Milazzo, my rally neighbor who wore a CNN press badge, and proclaimed that she was "working."

What I found was no less than concerning, for the TRUTH about Linda Milazzo is frightening. Linda Milazzo is a Progressive Democrat. Linda Milazzo is a member of Code Pink. Linda Milazzo believes that McCain should be tried for treason. Linda Milazzo is a Socialist. Linda Milazzo writes for the Huffington Post. Linda Milazzo is nuts.

Linda, is self-described as "a Los Angeles based writer, educator and activist. She's an educator and creator of a writers' program she's taught privately and in public schools. She currently facilitates an advocacy writing workshop and is developing an advocacy writing program to be implemented in public and private educational institutions and in community based organizations. A political and social activist since the Vietnam War, Linda attributes her activism to her disgust with greed-ridden American imperialism, environmental atrocities, egregious war, nuclear proliferation, lying leaders, and global tyranny!"


So, in short, who is Linda Milazzo?

Linda is a liar. She states, in the Huffington Post, that all 20,000 people at the Palin Rally were Christian zealots, whites, and stupid Americans. Linda wants you to believe this, because if you didn't, she wouldn't have a cause, a job, or a reason to spread lies.

Linda is a hypocrite. Linda wears a press badge, but has no interest in being objective or truthful. Linda says she taped the rally when in fact, she only taped parts of it.

Linda is a member of the "press." Linda writes propaganda which is a means of censorship in it's purist form. Just check with China, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and Iran. They are experts in Propaganda.

Linda is a Activist. Linda is a Progressive Democrat. So is Maxine Waters, who proclaimed in 2004, that Freddie Mae, "isn't broke, so we don't have to fix it and that the leadership of Franklin Raines as CEO of Fannie Mae was brilliant." Progressive Democrats believe and adhere to Socialistic ideals and principles. Their mission is to create socialist policies with our government. They do not identify with traditional democrats.

Linda is an educator. Linda wants to instill and train students, through her writing and teaching, about her personal agenda within our public and private school system. Linda knows better than many other stupid Americans so she wants to teach children through her advocacy and writing.

Linda doesn't like women. Unless they think like her, dress like her, listen to her and are a member of CODE PINK. She only can identify with women who hold rallies in the USA (because they can) but do not raise money for the USA--why would they raise money for a country they hate?! These woman would rather meet with Chavez of Venezuela and have tea with dictators like Iran's Ahmadinejad. Code Pink actually sat down with Ahmadinejad, on Sept. 25, 2008, after a fundraiser for Barack Obama, and talked with the dictator about building a Peace Park in Tehran. You see, they think this park will be the first step in creating peace between our two countries. Should we call that a "Park to Nowhere?"

I can say these things about Linda Milazzo because I sat next to her. I saw what she wrote in her PDA and I found out the truth about Linda when I got home. The Internet is a wonderful thing. You see, I was at the rally not blindly, but to be a part of something historic. I talked to people. I asked them questions. I didn't yell at them. I didn't label them. I saw these people as Americans. I didn't see them as Imperialists or fanatics or stupid Americans.

I do not know why I am so amazed that there was no truth in Linda's reporting on the Huffington Post. There isn't much truth in any reporting these days. But the truth about Linda Milazzo is that she, as a "member of the press," and an American, has no interest in writing or reporting the truth. For, if she did, she would finally have to admit and realize that she, at the end of the day, is just Linda Milazzo, a hypocrite that is angry but doesn't have a cause, who doesn't have an original thought, and, certainly, does not look good in pink.

"The truth shall set you free."

Average Joe doesn't live on Main Street, but he will save it! Along with our polar ice caps, and Israel, too.


Tonight's debate had a resounding and very familiar sound from Senator Joe Biden. Me me me, I I I.  Watching Joe was like watching an out- of -tune, dusty aria.   Don't worry Mr. and Mrs. Main Street.   Have no fear, Joe is here! Obama Shmama.  Joe knows!

Joe knows Israel!  In fact,  HE is the only senator that is best friends with Israel. Middle East Peace?  Joe's your man!
  
Joe knows global warming!  HE knows, with absolute certainty, that global warming is solely caused by man's hands.  Global Warming and Climate Change?  Go to Joe!

Joe knows Executive Power!   HE personally gave power to the President of the United States.  Commander in Chief didn't move until Joe said so. GI Joe to the rescue!

But let's not forget , oh no, let's not forget this very important point.....although Joe is all of these things and more, he still remains, by his own testament, an Average Joe.  Yep.  Average Joe goes to Home Depot.  Average Joe goes to the little family diner in his downtown.  Average Joe takes the train.  Average Joe knows how the people on Main Street feel and what people on Main Street need.  Joe knows! Because he is Average Joe!

Average Joe, as he stated tonight, has been able to live in a very nice house and live a very nice life because of his position as a Senator--he has held a Senatorial seat since he was 29 years old. Because of this privilege, Average Joe wants to give back to his  Main Street that he knows so well, by increasing taxes on rich people-- like himself.  It is his duty and moral obligation to tax himself, as well as others, and give this money to the poor people on Main Street--not directly to Mr. and Mrs. Main Street, but through government programs.  Now,  Joe, by his own admittance, LEFT this poor Main Street a long time ago--35 years ago under a Senatorial Umbrella.  

Does it strike any one else as odd, that Joe hasn't fixed all of these things he claims to know in the 35 years he has been living the Senatorial Main Street Life? Does it strike any else as odd,  that Joe cast his 10,000th vote in 1999, and that nearly 10 years and thousands of more votes later, he still hasn't been a successful champion of Mr. and Mrs. Main Street?  


But, I digress.....I have some Main Street questions!*

Why does Governor Palin have to defend her 'small town' up-bringing  and 'small town' leadership which is continually challenged and ridiculed by the press and media as an indication of her possible  lack of worldy insight, experience, and understanding of government?

Why does Governor Palin have to defend her service as a Main Street Mayor of the small town of Wasilla and as Governor of the state of Alaska?

...You know, that little ol' state that houses the 49th Missile Defense Batallion that is the first in line of defense of the United States. You know, that little governorship that she has where she is the Commander in Chief of the ONLY National Guard unit on permanent and active duty that, again, is first in line to defend our country from an enemies strike.  

What makes Governor Palin's Main Street so different than the Main Street Average Joe claims to know and promises to fix and fight for?  

Let me try to answer that one...

 Average Joe's Senatorial Main Street neighbors, friends, and business associates, maybe?

 Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Charles Shumer, Chris Dodd, Dick Durbin, Franklin Raines, Barack Obama, Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, Harry Paulson, Charlie Rangel, Ted Kennedy, Asbestos Lawyers, and many, many more, are all in Joe's corner and on Joe's block.**

Some of these neighbors of Joe have had longer tenures and higher positions in the Senate.  And all of these guys, along with Joe, claim that they are going to save Main Street America.   In the 35 years the Average Joe, has been the "only one, " "the guy, " "instrumental" in many things but obviously not things to ensure that Main Street would be Ok or better than the way he left it.  Why now, Joe? What took you so long?

How many years have his liberal neighbors promised to be the Saviors of Main Street?  LONGER THAN JOE HAS BEEN A SENATOR.
 
 Joe thinks he knows a lot of things, but Joe doesn't know Main Street.  Joe knows how to throw money at Main Street--but if it doesn't get there--no fault of his.

But Sarah Palin, Governor Sarah Palin? Sarah Palin knows Main Street and she knows how to defend it---literally and figuratively.  She refunded money to her taxpaying voters and put it directly into their hands and, then,  watched her economy, her state, and the people prosper.  Thanks for a great debate, tonight, Sarah.  Thanks for reminding us that the heart and spirit of this country is found in Main Street America.


*at the time this blog went to print, Miss Tory does not have nor has had any plans on publishing a book in November that pertains to Sarah Palin and how she has created and shaped political opportunities for women.

**ACORN is also on Joe and Barack's block.  Their Voting Block. They are just rearranging it, changing it, and bussing people into Ohio right now to vote early and often for this election.
