Vacate the premises
cellus | August 13, 2008So, I was minding my own business, trying to read an article on National Review (shh, don’t tell!) when an advertisement slapped my face and forced me to watch it play. As it happens, it was created by Freedom’s Watch to encourage me to tell Congressman Udall to return to Washington to “start fixing Colorado’s energy crisis.” Ok, first of all, Udall isn’t my Representative. Nice try though. And, for the record, Udall voted against the motion to adjourn on August 1, joining 14 other Democrats. You can’t blame him for turning off the lights.
What really interested me was the idea the a group called Freedom’s Watch should be so concerned about offshore drilling (because we all know that’s what this is all about). So I went to their website. They claim to be pushing “mainstream Conservative values” in four key areas:
- The dangers of radical Islam and the emerging Iranian threat
- Advancing a conservative agenda and market-based solutions to pressing domestic problems
- Standing up to Big Labor’s radical agenda
- Preventing the degeneration of our society by stopping the legalization of controlled substances.
