Consumer Activism

I'm still sticking to my boycott of French wines. Nothing's changed on that front to make me even consider buying another bottle of French wine. I have noted recently a steep decline in the cost of a bottle of froggy wine too. It does my heart good!

Now, to the list of my personal boycotts, I am forced to add the local music emporium known as ear X-tacy. I have always liked the fact that they promote local music and sell CDs from local bands that are otherwise a bit hard to procure. However, they have now entered into a political pact with one of Louisville's most anti-American organizations: LPAC.

LPAC has procured a scrolling sign that ear x-tacy has agreed to place in their window. That sign is nothing more than propaganda to encourage other pacifists to object to our war on terror. Their propaganda tool scrolls the following messages:

**IRAQ WAR COST $164,201,378,546---$164 BILLION ! !
**....KY DEAD---20

**U.S. DEAD---1562----U.S.WOUNDED---11,664
**IRAQ WAR COST TO KY<@Fill Flash>$1.3 BILLION ! !
**IRAQ WAR COST TO LOUISVILLE---$74.1 MILLION ! !
**LOUISVILLE PEACE ACTION COMMUNITY (LPAC)---LouisvillePeace.Org
**Louisville Fellowship of Reconciliation
**Peace Takes Courage

I don't object to educating people about the costs of war. As a matter of fact, it is important for people to understand that freedom is definitely not free. I object to the hypocrisy LPAC has put on display by noting the number of deaths while they continue to disparage the noble principles for our war dead gave their lives. It is almost an understatement to say that the old hippies at LPAC are anti-military pacifists. They are part of a network of organizations nationwide that encourage service members to desert and support Communism. Check out their website for all of the other anti-American propaganda that they spew. It makes me sick.

I have written to John Timmons (the owner of ear x-tacy) to let him know that I will not be patronizing his establishment again until that sign comes down. I hope that he will reconsider his political statements and go back to doing what he does best -- music.

I encourage others to do the very same.

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste
