Sinclair’s new temporary site is up
Hit his donate button - and send him some bucks - he sure can use it.

NO.
In past presidential elections, it might have been a deal-killer. But in 2008, it apparently makes for endearing campaign rhetoric.
Candidate Barack Obama has put himself “on record” praising the communist government of China, suggesting that the United States should aspire to do as the communists do, and “invest” in our “infrastructure,” the way the Chinese government has done in Beijing.
While at a campaign stop in Chester, Virginia, in a moment of off-the-cuff spontaneity, Obama stated “everybody’s watching what’s going on in Beijing right now and the Olympics. Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure. Their ports, their train systems, their airports are all vastly superior to us now, which means if you’re a corporation deciding where to do business, you’re starting to think, Beijing looks like a pretty good option.”
When I first saw the video, it struck me that I’ve never before heard a presidential candidate - - not even another Democratic presidential candidate - - praise a communist government. In fact, I don’t think this has ever happened before in my lifetime.
Read the whole thing. Obama’s stupidity and the stupidity of people who are swallowing communist China’s propaganda campaign about how great they are - makes me want to puke. I heard one of the screeching Code Pink moonbats asking “what is WRONG with communism?” Why don’t you ask someone who has escaped from a communist country and find out?
The Biden/Obama ticket is living up to the historical actions socialists in the world and their nazi stormtrooper predecessors took, by making sure that Larry Sinclair’s websites have been shut down. Ah what the heck, this sort of thing happens in communist countries, too. I recall some very nasty things that Mao Tse Dong did to children whose parents weren’t towing the party line…it lends a new meaning to “political correctness” for those who’ve never heard the harrowing tales of torture and imprisonment for trumped up charges of political opponents. The new definition of “truth” is that which supports the party, and only that.
For those who don’t know history, that’s what we’re witnessing first hand with Larry Sinclair, as Lame Cherry pointed out in this post.
Through email and in comments I received this message from Larry:
One day before the start of the Democratic National Convention, http://www.larrysinclair0926.com and http://www.larryinclairbarackobama.com has been suspended by Startlogic.
Upon contacting of Startlogic they reason’s for the suspension of these web sites sounds insincere. Startlogic claims that the sites have been suspended due to an unforeseen amount of traffice and strain on the server and that startlogic cannot unsuspend the account nor can they allow for me to access any of the files from the sites.
Me personally, I find the statements by Startlogic to be complete BS.
So folks until I can figure out how to set up the site on a VPS private server I guess the Obama/Biden camp have won for the day anyway.
The Obama bloggers have admitted their part in this

This may be a stupid
question, but couldn’t he use his Larrysinclair.org site>

I’m guessing.

I suppose there are
safeguards against the same thing being done to this site?

…………………………. My guess, and this is only a guess, is
that someone figured out how to create a bandwidth amplification attack using
other Sinclair-supported sites to redline the CPU, bandwidth, databases, and
storage capacity of Sinclair’s primary site for an extended period of time,
resulting in a forced violation of the Terms of Service.I mean, if I *had* to
guess, that’d be myguess.========================
ALL HAIL “DEFACER”(just my
guess) he he
A song written and sung by Michael Britton for Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. The song’s video shows a photo of Ignacio and Jose.
You can help Ignacio and Jose by visiting:

Steve (my husband) and I went out this morning because we haven’t had a lot of time together lately because of his new job and the incredibly long hours he’s been working. I’ve been finding ways to occupy my mind and my time, through taking pictures, mostly, and reading, studying and blogging, which I do, anyway.
After we had breakfast out and ran a few errands, we came pulling into the parking lot of our condo and there was an unusual sight; a practically perfect pinwheel of a lacy spiderweb, strung across the hood of a parked vehicle; between the antenna and the windshield; a practically invisible net-trap for flying insects, unless the light hit it just right. It was out in the open, so I was surprised that it was bending and swaying in the wind without getting ripped apart. I wondered how long the little spider engineer had to work on this magnificent piece of work - it was probably created overnight after the weather had calmed and the storms had passed.
Still, it appeared to be an incredible effort which will be swept away as soon as the driver gets in his truck and drives off, as I doubt it will withstand the kind of beating it will receive at driving speeds.
When we were at the pavilion yesterday, there were a number of spider webs, were completely invisible until you walked through them and felt the whisper of the sticky filament-like threads. Afterwards I would get the creepy crawlies, wondering if a spider was on me.
What a feat of engineering these creatures are able to put together within a matter of hours!!!

Mallards. I think these are bibbed mallards (the two on the left) swimming with a regular mallard (on the right). This picnic was at Potawatamie Park in St. Charles, and we were sitting in the beautiful wood pavilion looking onto the Fox River. The whole time I was there, there was a threat of rain; the clouds were overhead, there was a wonderful breeze, the temperature was perfect, but it was humid and “close”.
There were several types of ducks swimming together, which I couldn’t identify.

I had no idea there were different types of mallards.

They were gathering underneath the pier for shelter, and would come out swimming in groups, stopping to preen like this one.


There were a number of young families there with children, and although there were signs that said don’t feed the birds, they did it, anyway.
So it was no wonder when I started to take pictures of them, they began to swim TOWARD me.

This little boy looked very much like his mother.

This little fellow was excited about getting a ride on a boat.

The beautiful pavilion has a tower that you can climb up into to take in the surrounding scenery from a bird’s eye view.



This little girl and her daddy must have been looking up at someone they knew, like mom and another sibling.

They were adorable.

This young man had his 6-week old son in a carrier, and was holding onto his son’s little foot.

This family stopped to have something to eat on the bridge. Either that, or the bread she’s handing her son is for the DUCKS.!!!

I thought this photo was particularly cute because the little boy seemed so excited over getting something to drink at the drinking fountain.

This couple was unusually dressed for the humidity and heat; and we speculated what was in the basket; probably a picnic lunch. The guy with the hat on reminded me of the actor Harry Anderson from the old TV Show, Night Court.

This is one of the piers - I think this the pier that people would use to board a ferry boat.

Behind the ferry you can see a peninsula where people were grilling and had pitched tents for camping.

Several boats were out; these guys were just hanging out drinking beer, but there were a few other boats that were devoted to guys with their sons, fishing.

There were boats that you could take a ride on, canoes that you could take out, paths that you could walk or ride a bike on, a place where you could get food and drink, and a number of other interesting things - like a miniature golf area - that I didn’t get pictures of, but it’s an absolutely stunning park area, and we had a lot of fun.

It’s the same area, by the way, where my mom had taken me to watch the Native American dancers that I mentioned here. St. Charles always has interesting things going on.
People showed up with their small children and babies, and at one point, two adults were holding two babies who were sitting opposite each other, looking into each other’s faces.
I just couldn’t get pictures of it all…but it was terrific.
So there ended the busy day, starting out with getting over to the Minuteman Protest, and ending with a wonderful time on the Fox River with my parents and the church group.

Even my 70-something year old mom’s 90-something-year-old harmonica teacher showed up; and played a rendition of “How Great Thou Art” on her harmonica.
What a trip it was!
I met the pastor, his wife and his family, and several other folks, but by this time I was getting tired from the air and heat and had pretty much stopped taking pictures. I showed up early, at about 1:00, and they didn’t really start gathering until after 3:00, and I left at about 4:00.
