Construction continues, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to get a good panoramic view of it with all of the walls that are going up.

I’ll try to get more in the next few days. What I couldn’t get a picture of during this pass was the concrete mixing trucks and the CRANE.

Previous from 7-26, 7-31, 8-11

I have a feeling we’ll be hearing the call to prayer like they do in some areas in Michigan.

He already has shows set up, too!

Cool! Now i can download Sinclair to my mp3 player and here some more of the soap opera that the M&N Show are dealing, and more communist scare tactics by the minions and sychophants - including those evil forces in Delaware who are now complaining they are victims!

I’ve seen a few other videos, we can fully expect riots at the DNC as in previous years; the communists don’t believe the democrats are leftist enough, even though we have a full blown marxist as our candidate for the donks this year.

I am proud to say I knew him, proud to say he influenced me as I was growing up. He was a friend and classmate of my dad’s. Paul Carlson passed away on August 19, 2008. He was a conservative activist and a longtime resident of Park Ridge. My dad said no other Maine East alumni attended his funeral except him, which is a shame. He had a very short battle with pancreatic cancer, from what I gather they had to stop chemo because he got an infection, and after they stopped cancer treatment, the cancer went wild, spread into his bones, etc. May God bless this wonderful man and his family.

Paul Carlson, in fact, was Hillary Clinton’s history teacher at Maine East High School. (And he is one of the people who inspired my own politics, outside of my father, Tedis Zerins, Reverend Wurmbrand and others.) From Growing Up Rodham at the Washington Post:

By ninth grade at Maine Township High, she was on every virtually committee in the student government and was enthralled by a fiercely anti-communist history teacher named Paul Carlson. Schoolmate John Peavoy recalls that during the 1960 presidential election, 30 students were assigned to watch the Kennedy-Nixon debate. All but two, “a couple of oddballs,” declared themselves Nixon supporters. (When Nixon lost, Hugh was convinced that Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley stole the election for Kennedy, and Hillary rode a bus downtown to check for fraudulent voter addresses.)

It was Carlson who gave Hillary a copy of Barry Goldwater’s “The Conscience of a Conservative,” and she consumed it, struck by the javelin-like power of sentences such as “The Conservative looks upon politics as the art of achieving the maximum amount of freedom for individuals that is consistent with the maintenance of social order.” She wrote a 75-page term paper on it.

Carlson was her unchallenged mentor until a day in 1961 when Don Jones blew into town, in a red Chevy Impala convertible.

Don Jones was a socialist methodist minister at the First Methodist Church in Park Ridge (where I went to Sunday School; our family left the church because of the social doctrine that crept in). From Hillary’s book:

Don once remarked that he and Mr. Carlson were locked in a battled for my mind and soul. Their conflict was broader than that, however, and came to a head in our church, where Paul was also a member. Paul disagreed with Don’s priorities, including the University of Life curriculum, and pushed for Don’s removal from the church. After numerous confrontations, Don decided to leave First Methodist after only two years for a teaching position at Drew University, where he recently retired as Professor Emeritus of Social Ethics.

Later, she became a hard core leftist activist with Tommy the Commie as her mentor at Yale, and worked as a student activist to-among other things-free The New Haven Nine.

Teacher Paul Carlson - who died Aug. 19 - stood beside his photograph in Maine East’s Wall of Honor in 2007, next to his former student, U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, shortly before retiring after a 50-year career. (Rene Edde/for Pioneer Press)

Wall-of-Fame History Teacher Paul Carlson

His life was one well lived by the effect he had on those around him…his students, friends and family are a true legacy never to be forgotten. He will be sorely missed and I was graced to know him and call him my friend .

“One of the Best”

“He was one of the best guys Park Ridge has every [sic] produced,” said Friel. “He was a great man.”

Carlson, known as a staunch Republican, was friends with many followers of local and national politics including many Democrats. He was a teacher and friend to Hilary Rodham Clinton when she lived with her family in Park Ridge in the 1960s. He also taught former state representative Penny Pullen who grew up in Park Ridge.

Last year, Carlson was honored for his 50 years of teaching at Maine East with a large reception attended by hundreds of friends and well-wishers. He taught history and government at Maine East. He retired from teaching in June of 2007. Besides his teaching, Carlson was a member of the Park Ridge Morning Kiwanis Club.

He was also a longstanding member of the Park Ridge Historical Society.

Sign the guestbook that was attached to his Chicago Trib Obit.

There will be a memorial service for him in December - I think the date I heard was December 7. I’ll update this post with more detail as I get it.

The Memorial Service will be September 7th, at the Presbyterian Church in Park Ridge.

Supposedly Hillary might attend.

Through email I received this cool information:

Vets for Freedom at Democratic National Convention
Back from their Iraq trip, VFF credentialed in Denver

WASHINGTON, DC – Vets for Freedom (VFF) announced earlier this month that eight Iraq war veterans who are members of the organization would return to Iraq to assess conditions on the ground and analyze policy options for future U.S. military involvement. Having returned last week, the VFF Chairman Pete Hegseth and Vice Chairman David Bellavia will be at the Democratic National Convention informing delegates, key lawmakers and the American people about what they saw and the importance of commitment to completion of the mission in Iraq.

Both Hegseth and Bellavia will have media credentials for the Convention, and will be available for media requests to provide their informed, ‘boots on the ground” understanding of the mission in Iraq and the best future course for the United States.

Caution for next week:

A list has been generated by diehard Obama supporters (*DailyKos, MoveOn, and HuffingtonPost) to go after PUMAs (Hillary supporters) and Republicans that speak out against Obama online, TV, radio, and print.

According to this person, information has already been gathered about these people: financial records, residential addresses, employer information, and a couple of the Obama supporters have even more personal information that is potentially damaging and obviously embarrassing.

Any videos on YouTube that is unflattering to Obama will have a complaint filed against it. As of yesterday, this person stated some 1200 have been flagged at YouTube for a mass complaint sometime next week.

Keep in mind, that none of this will go public as it is being done behind the scenes and none of these people want their name attached to it. Why? Some of this information is highly illegal and could be extremely damaging to the Obama campaign if they’re name is attached to it. If you believe that Obama’s people don’t know this is going on, think again.

Interesting how usually you can get something if you click on the “cache” but this time, no dice.

The magnitude of this thing is extraordinary. From Larry Sinclair’s new site at blogspot:

I have been attacked, falsely arrested and falsely charged with a crime that Delaware Attorney General Joseph R. Biden III knows never happened all in the name of shutting down the TRUTH about Barack Obama’s crack cocaine use in 1999, his extra-marital affairs with me and other gay men, his long term intimate and sexual relationship with the MURDERED Donald Young, former choir director of Obama’s chuch TUCC in Chicago. The Obama thugs have had my websites shut down more than 8 times and attacked the servers causing www.larrysinclair0926.com and www.larrysinclairbarackobama.com to be shut down by startlogic one day before the DNC Convention, and they have admitted and bragged about it.

It strikes me that this is similar to the book burning that took place in Nazi Germany. This was done under the auspices of ridding the fatherland of “un German books”, but achieved covering up the sexually deviant homosexual behavior of the Nazis that had been painstakingly documented by Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institute for Sexual Science. Perhaps even Hitler’s own deviant behavior had been documented there, since he was allegedly a male prostitute during his starving artist days in Vienna.

And so history repeats itself…Hitler had Roehm murdered, and it would appear so did Obama have Donald Young murdered. Roehm was murdered because he was too much of a threat (and was openly homosexual), and it would seem that Donald Young had become more of a liability than a help to the Obama campaign; particularly after he contacted Larry Sinclair with phone numbers provided to the Obama campaign, in conversations that left Larry to conclude that Donald Young was intimately involved with Obama.

How many homosexuals in Chicago know that Obama is on the downlow? How many of them are working for the Obama campaign?
