Peoria County News Bulletin

This free paper is a good read. The 6/11/08 copy lists the dates of the "Brown Bag It" entertainment events on the courthouse square. Starting at 11:30 to 1:00 every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday through August 29. Find who is performing by clicking on http://www.peoriaevents.com/pace-brownbagit.shtml. Better yet, pick up a copy of this paper at the library, County Courhouse, etc.

The Bulletin publishes interesting articles from the "left" such as "McCain Myth Buster: John McCain and Transparency", describing how McCain is not quite as forthcoming as he might be.

The article lists the sources of the claims in the article. Proves again that politicians are under the microscope of both theindependent, moderate and liberal press. Also that politicians can't be everything to everybody. What might appear to be a popular position might not be a popular position when all the various facts are laid out to be picked apart by whatever enterprising journalists puts forth the efforts to find the actual facts. All candidates alter their comments after an hones press "calls the out".

From the "right" comes, "Republican National Committee: Obama Must Answer Questions So the American People Can Decide" such as "Did Obama or His Office Do Favors for Tony Rezko"? and vice versa and "With Supporters Like These" listing Michael Pfleger, Jeremiah Wright, the Reverend Otis Moss, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan and Al Sharpton not to mention the Communist leaning Acorn Group, as key supporters.Who one keeps company with determines who you are and these are people who all demonstrate to the world what a racist country America really is. These people hate America and the white race so much that they have no concept of how out of the mainstream they are. (Or are they?)

This paper is always an interesting read plus it publishes community legal notices and has one half page for comics which I love to read.

Then there is "The National Review", June 30 issue ia must read for all fact seekers, conservatives, moderates and independents. Every paragraph is worth a read. Especially the article "Chilling Effect" that tells how Canadians are no longer free and why the future belongs to the Canadian Islamic Congress whose founder once claimed on Canadian radio that all adult Israelis were justifiable targets of Palestinian violence. When exposed for the radical Muslims they are by a writer, Mark Steyn and "MACLEANS', the magazine that carried his expose, this radical Islamic group filed a complaint with the national governments human-rights commission that may eventually result in civil penalties to the writer and the newsweekly.

Also, a cover story, "The Organizer - What did Barack Obama really do in Chicago". Obama came to be known as a community organizer, best described in a book by left-wing Chicago activist Saul Alinsky who said that an organizer should be "an abrasive agent to rub raw the resentments of the people of the community, to fan latent hostilities of of the people to a "fighting pitch".

Does the meaningless word "Change" (to and for what?) mean to "rub raw......"?

A must read for conservatives, all who love our country and are concerned that its future is on a "slippery slope", moderates who tend to listen to all sides but often have trouble making a decision so they just don't vote for anyone, and independents who are not led like sheep and pragmatic people who deal with matters with regard to their practical requirements of consequences.

And anyone else who loves to read about things that are happening in this world that may not be of importance to them now but may as they mature, will become extremely important to their own lives, their families, their friends, their community and the world around them. It is human nature that most people do not pay to much attention as to the goings on around then until something vital causes them to start asking questions and demanding truthful answers.

But by then, it may be too late. I'm told the story last week of the person on a strained budget got her property tax bill with a large increase and started to cry when she realized it was too late to do anything about it.
