A group identified as “The Guerilla Effect” just released their parody of the Texas Gubernatorial race. The video is a bit long (23 minutes) but offers a rolling mix of overt and subtle humor. It appears no candidate was spared ridicule however we couldnt help notice that Medina’s criticisms stem largely from her pro-gun stance and simply knowing too much about every topic.

Texas Gubernatorial Debate 3 from guerilla.effect on Vimeo.

Rick Perry seems portrayed as a Bush-like frat boy more concerned about condescending to the questioneers and his hair than answering the questions and Kay Bailey Hutchinson gets featured as a soft-spoken follower, with no real opinions of her own.

The video borders on offensive in some cases when Kay is playing a hand-held video game entitled Fetus Flush 2 or when the video’s “host” Billy Kerboppler seems to do all of his scenes without pants on. However, the video is sure to make you smile and even laugh all the way through.

Our favorite part: Medina’s epic speech starting around 10 min 10 sec.

Hitler reacts to the news that Glenn Beck has created a new public relations debacle in Texas, that everyone in Texas owns guns and that’s why he never invaded Switzerland.

Q: In less than ten hours, how do you raise over $50,000 (via online, already in-the-bank donations, with more to come via paper check) and get over 1,000 new Facebook subscribers?

A: Go on internet show put on by loudmouthed, crocodile tear crying shill who pushes agenda of those with the most bucks.  Get asked a ”have you stopped beating your kid?” type of kamakazee question unrelated to office candidate is seeking.  Interviewer has a baited response he wants to get from candidate.  Interviewer says, “see, she just admitted she hasn’t stopped beating her kid!! She’s a horrid person!!”  Interviewer cuts off interviewee before she has a chance to tell interviewer she can’t answer the question as it was stated, since it’s a “have you stopped beating your kid?” question. Viewers/listeners see you for the bought-and-paid for shill you are.

Incumbent then mysteriously has a negative ad already recorded and robocalling registered voters, in an hour.

You as the interviewee, however, then get multiple standing ovations at a local function six hours later.  The audience calls  for bad interviewer’s head on a platter.

Watch the money roll in to the bank…  $20, $50, 100 at a time, much of it from new donors.  Some of those new donors tell their friends.  Counting up, $20,000, now $30,000 …. up to $50,000 now!! You have people calling their friends, those friends write checks and drop them in the mail. Ka-ching! $$ Ka-ching! $ Ka-ching…$$$$ Where will it stop!??

Thanks unmentioned, loudmouth, obnoxious, fake blonde hair, tan and crocodile tear crying shill!! Maybe we can use you again for our advantage?  You’re such a dear!

A bit of respite from all the excitement of tomorrow’s Texas Gubernatorial debate from the University of North Texas campus in Denton.  It can be viewed on KERA-TV, TXA-21 (KTXA-TV), and heard on KERA-FM.

“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is hard business. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”   Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936).

* Use caution when accessing Interpol’s website…

With the signing of an under-publicized amendment to Executive Order 12425, Barack Obama has fundamentally altered your constitutional rights. His actions are undermining your rights to protect personal privacy from a foreign internationalist police agency named Interpol. A one-paragraph executive order may seem inconsequential to many, but this action has far-reaching implications and threatens the sovereignty of America.

Obama’s secretive executive order amended an order issued by President Reagan in 1983. Reagan’s order recognized Interpol as an international organization and gave it privileges and immunities commonly extended to foreign diplomats. Reagan opened the door to allow Interpol to operate in partnership with the U.S. but with significant constitutional safeguards. Specifically, Interpol’s property and assets remained subject to search and seizure by American law enforcement, and its archived records remained subject to public scrutiny under provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. Interpol had to answer to the FBI and U.S. courts under Reagan’s order. These safeguards were stripped away by Obama’s action the week before Christmas without debate or explanation. Obama picked the holiday season to make this radical change, to minimize media coverage.

A few weeks ago the Peter Morrison Report was contacted by the Debra Medina campaign. She is a Republican candidate for governor here in Texas.  An interview came out of that discussion.

To be fair, I have also contacted the campaigns of the other three declared candidates: Kay Bailey Hutchison, Larry Kilgore and Rick Perry.  If they agree, each will be featured in a future report so you can make an informed decision in March.

The interview consists of a question followed by the candidate’s unedited responses.  Let’s get to it:

Peter Morrison Report: What do you see as the top challenges facing Texas, and our next governor?

Debra Medina: Texas, like all of the United States, is facing unprecedented economic challenges.  Property taxes, excessive regulation and broad use of eminent domain authority all but destroy private property ownership.  Couple those concerns with a growing dependence on federal largesse, a high unemployment rate, additional school property tax buy down and diminishing sales tax returns and you quickly realize that the state of Texas must cut spending drastically and restructure tax in order to relieve the drag it places on the economy.

PMR: In your opinion, what are the causes of the terrible setbacks the Republican Party suffered in 2006 and 2008? How do you think we can reverse this trend?

DM: Failure to walk our talk.  We must elect officials who follow the strict interpretation of constitution and govern in a manner consistent with our party platform.  Recognizing that politics is corrupting and that absolute power corrupts absolutely, the Texas Republican Party should adopt a rule unilaterally establishing term limits as an additional eligibility requirement when seeking a place on the primary ballot for all state officeholders i.e., state representatives, state senators and all state-wide officeholders.  This would serve to protect not punish Republican office holders.  It would keep them beholden to the people they serve and remove incentives to be “bought and paid for” by special interest groups seeking to use the law to gain favor in the marketplace.

(CNSNews.com) – The 86^thcongressional district of Rhode Island received $10.2 million in federal economic stimulus funds to save 57.9 jobs, according to Recovery.gov. In neighboring Connecticut, the state’s 42^nd congressional district did not receive any stimulus money yet 25 jobs were still saved or created.

The problem with these federal financial data, however, is that Rhode Island has just two congressional districts, not 86, and Connecticut has just five U.S. House seats, not 42. Also, the Web site states that $6.4 billion in stimulus money went to 440 congressional districts that do not exist, according to an analysis first reported by Watchdog.org, a division of the Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity.

The watchdog’s analysis showed that the money invested in the non-existent congressional districts saved or created 30,000 jobs, based on the government data currently available to the public.

Recovery.gov is the Obama administration’s Web site designed to track the funds dispersed through the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Concerning the non-existent congressional districts and other data on Recovery.org, the Obama administration responded on Tuesday that it was a matter of kinks in the system and that all stimulus funds are traceable and documented.

“These are not non-existent congressional districts, these are improperly identified congressional districts,” Ed Pound, spokesman for the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, told CNSNews.com Tuesday. “It’s human error. People filling out these forms might not know their district.”

[Original article from TargetFreedom.com, story links by HALC.us staff.]

Vermont State Rep. Fred Maslack read the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, as well as Vermont’s own Constitution very carefully, and his strict interpretation of these documents is popping some eyeballs in New England and elsewhere.

During his term in 2000 Maslack proposed House Bill 760 to register “non-gun-owners” and require them to pay a $500 fee to the state. Thus Vermont would have become the first state to require a permit for going about unarmed and assess a fee of $500 for the privilege of not owning a gun. This might look bad at first, because it would seem to be registration of gun owners by process of elimination. But there is another factor to consider: You can buy a gun for less than $500, and avoid the tax. In this way no one would have to “register”  or pay the tax. They could fulfill the duty required by the second amendment at a lower cost.

Maslack read the “militia” phrase of the Second Amendment as not only affirming the right of the individual citizen to bear arms, but as a clear mandate to do so. He believes that universal gun ownership was advocated by the Framers of the Constitution as an antidote to a “monopoly of force” by the government as well as criminals.

"By calling attention to ‘a well regulated militia,’ the ’security’ of the nation, and the right of each citizen ‘to keep and bear arms’, our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny which gave rise to the Second Amendment will ever be a major danger to our nation, the Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason, I believe the Second Amendment will always be important." - John F. Kennedy, April 1960. Hell will freeze over before we would ever see BO in a photo of comparable awesomeness.

I saw this fellow, Lord Christopher Monckton, speak at the North Houston TEA Party on November 2nd, at Sam Houston Race Park.  Excellent speaker.

In this video clip, Lord Christopher Monckton, former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, points out that Barack Husein Obama (I’m not sullying the Office of the President by ceding that to him) is ready to sign a United Nations Climate Change Treaty, thereby  allowing the United Nations fully run all climate policies in the United States, as well as most other industrialized nations in the world.

The Minnesota Free Market Institute hosted an event at Bethel University in St. Paul on Wednesday evening, October 14th. Keynote speaker Lord Monckton gave a scathing and lengthy presentation, complete with detailed charts, graphs, facts, and figures which culminated in the utter decimation of both the pop culture concept of global warming and the credible threat of any significant anthropomorphic climate change.

“Sail on, Oh Ship of State!
Sail on, Oh Union strong and great.
Humanity with all its fears
With all the hope of future years
Is hanging breathless on thy fate.”

As ever yours,

Franklin D. Roosevelt (to Winston Churchill on January 20, 1941)
