We couldn’t endorse Martin-Morris’s opponent—David Blomstrom—whose website is loaded with conspiracy theories about teacher suicides and the “Seattle Mafia.”

Oh man….classic. Explains plenty.

You gotta admit we’re one heckuva country that so tolerates even the likes of Blomstrom to live, work and speak his mind. But putting the man in perspective, even slightly-to-the-right-of-Berkeley, Seattle, found him too radical even for them… losing his bid for Seattle school board district 3 … 72% to his 27%. Considering this is his sixth bid for a public office, I would guess that his reception in the area isn’t improving. I had to laugh at The Stranger’s comment on that race.

We’re also reluctantly endorsing Harium Martin-Morris. Why are we endorsing a candidate who told us he doesn’t have a problem with intelligent design in schools? Because he’s not mentally ill. We couldn’t endorse Martin-Morris’s opponent—David Blomstrom—whose website is loaded with conspiracy theories about teacher suicides and the “Seattle Mafia.” So, we’re giving our vote to Martin-Morris, who is former education consultant and president of Nathan Hale High School’s PTA. Vote Martin-Morris.

Go no.. there is hope for Seattle afterall.

What boggles the mind is why bother to run for office and try to ram his unwelcome changes down the majority of Americans, when he can move right to his Marxist utopia, Venezuela? Surely such a loyal constituent will never feel Chavez’s corruption. He will, instead, be among the select whom will benefit.

Justice Minister Pedro Carreno became the subject of widespread criticism and ridicule by local media this week, when a journalist asked if it wasn’t contradictory to attack capitalism while sporting a $180 Louis Vuitton tie and $500 Gucci shoes.

Apparently caught off guard, Carreno stammered unintelligibly for a few seconds before responding: “It’s not contradictory because I would like Venezuela to produce all this, that way I could purchase things produced here instead of 95 percent of what we consume being imported.”

Information Minister Willian Lara often wears Tommy Hilfiger jackets, although they are red – the color of Chavez’s ruling party. And Luis Acosta, the pro-Chavez governor of Carabobo state, argued last year that authorities can purchase expensive cars without sacrificing their revolutionary ideals.

“Is it that we revolutionaries don’t have the right to have a Hummer or a car? If we make money, we can do it,” Acosta said.

Ah yes… the dubious “equality” of Marxism. I’d have to say that you, Mr. Blomstrom, and your new political party (with a membership of one, perhaps?) are free to disagree in this country all you wish. But I wouldn’t give that a try in Venezuela. I suggest a great relocation company for you. I’m sure you can find suitable digs where your “mentally ill” notions are both shared, and welcomed.

To Mike and the rest of the staff at Flopping Aces:

Though your right-leanedness is a bit extreme to my liking sometimes, your site remains open to adverse opinions. When opposing viewpoints open with a salvo of insults, I tend to believe your statements have credence. Keep up the good work, and keep the blog postings open to everyone, regardless! It is a good thing to know what everyone thinks.

Regards,

yeah – got it ! thanks!

1. Pick what you want to believe in, ignore all the rest of the facts.

2. Berate those that don’t agree with you.

3. Any facts to blaringly obvoius to just ignore are just another conspiracy.

yup – you really put me in my place!

thanks again!

Mikes’ America (presumably not his real name) wrote, “It’s amazing how lefties worship Chavez and demonize Bush. What if President Bush changed the constitution to allow him to stay in office for an indefinite term without facing re-election?”

That would be terrible – but what’s your point? Venezuela has made no such change to its constitution. A bill that would have allowed Hugo Chavez to RUN FOR OFFICE again was submitted to the voters, who narrowly rejected it. Some dictatorship, eh?

“They would go absolutely bonking crazier than they are already! Yet, these same lovers of freedom embrace Hugo Chavez, the dictator of Venezuela, who has done all that and more.”

You BET he’s done more. Chavez has held Exxon accountable. That’s the corrupt corporation whose profiteering execs are getting richer while the cost of gas goes up, up, up.

His elections were more legit than George Bush’s. But WHAT affiliation with FARC are you talking about? Colombia illegally invades another nation, murdering a couple dozen people, then the assassins claim they found a magic laptop computer that just happens to have files incriminating a man their puppetmaster hates. Yeah, that’s some evidence.

“Are you concerned that kidnappers and drug runners in the S. American jungle want Obama in?”

Are you considered that Elvis Presley might return to Earth and steal the election? Seriously, you need to get your fantasies under control.

“Do you feel this is a vast conspiracy?”

Absolutely, an army of media whores have conspired to brainwash one of the most stupid population’s on Earth, and right-wingers are their easiest targets.

“I can’t get past calling your political adversaries terrorists…”

Uh, you more or less referred to Hugo Chavez as a terrorist, yet you start sobbing when I label a man who has murdered tens of thousands of civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan – and is the biggest champion of torture on the planet to boot – a terrorist???

… also, please forgive my lack of interest in your political aspirations, I can’t get past calling your political adversaries terrorists, or using phrases like master baiter to even care what your website says. Though I have already labelled myself in your world, that goes for all politicians, as I am a staunch moderate.

It’s amazing how lefties worship Chavez and demonize Bush. What if President Bush changed the constitution to allow him to stay in office for an indefinite term without facing re-election?

What would they say if he passed a law that made it a crime to insult him?

How would they react if he summarily fired workers who opposed his policies, wiretapped, then broadcast their phone calls on television, ordered troops to shoot protestors, closed down radio and television stations?

What would their reaction be if President Bush refused to provide funds to state governments controlled by Democrats?

They would go absolutely bonking crazier than they are already! Yet, these same lovers of freedom embrace Hugo Chavez, the dictator of Venezuela, who has done all that and more.

It’s called Democracy Marxist Style and lefty losers love it.
