The Facts Were These...

An Open Letter to Our Nation’s Leadership

This was heard on Glenn Beck’s show a few days ago, and is fantastic. Please spread it. I’m a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue [...]

David Boaz on a Key Problem of libertarians

We are too negative! You cannot have change without hope.

ISTAExposed.com

Check out a new website, ISTAExposed.com. Here is an informational video featuring Dick Morris: It is interesting that three new House members received so much: John Barnes – $179,500, Mary Ann Sullivan – $35,000, and Ed DeLaney – $32,000. Those 3 wins were necessary for the Democrats to maintain the House, ESPECIALLY John Barnes. By the way, [...]

An Imperial Presidency, A Gangster Government

From Woodrow Wilson on, we’ve been increasing the power of our Presidency. With George Bush and Obama, we’ve hit the (government made) accelerator pedal. Read this post on Czars. Power should be concentrated within the Congress if there is any real power within the federal government. It certainly should not be run like the mafioso, [...]

Seperate Yourself from Extremism

This story is why you separate and castigate those extremists within your cause or organization. They become the face of your cause, and define you. Next time you hear people saying ridiculous things like, “IT’S TIME TO GET THE GUNS!” ask them to keep their opinions to themselves. America needs a revolution at the ballot [...]

I am a nerd for political campaign and organizational research. Here is the LPIN’s site to share ours. Do you have any to swap? Email me at chris@chris-spangle.com.

One of the best things on TV ever.

For a Friday uplift, check this out. For some reason, it just hits you right.  I can’t find an embed, so you will have to watch it in HQ here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luRmM1J1sfg Everyone is smirking and laughing at here, then she blew them away.

I Hate Politics

Because of my time working with Abdul, I operate with certain assumptions. Most elected officials, media types, and lobbyists are not bad people. They are sincere. They think what they do is generally right, and the best course of action. They also spend a tremendous amount of time with each other, and are friendly. It [...]

A group designed for Indiana Libertarians to meet!
Great After Hours event at Rick's Boatyard this past Tuesday night. Thanks to Tim Maguire for pulling that together. It was good to meet the outgoing and incoming State chair. Libertarians are the best thing Indiana has going for it.

A Nation Forged in Hardship

Thanksgiving is usually the day when we give a half-hearted, half-spoken "thanks" for our friends and family, and for some, to our God. But on Thanksgiving Day, we should give thanks to those who gave their lives to settle, create, and protect this nation in the name of liberty. This is a nation forged in hardship, in a long struggle for freedom. Generations of men and women struggled and died (and still do) to achieve this:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religioContinue

The Doris Minton-McNeil 911 Call

http://www.chris-spangle.com/2008/06/23/bad_minton_call/

**Warning - Rough Language

You shouldn’t say the following things if you are drunk, a City-County Councilor, and have just said, “Do you know who I am!??!”: The following is a summary of the police report. You can verify this by reading the police report here. (Not edited for language. Names of other suspects, DOB, Addresses, and other sensitive information edited out.)

Live Coverage from the Democratic Convention

Chris-spangle.com is the place to watch the Convention. It won’t be the best because it’s off a webcam, but you’ll have something! We’ll go live at 12:30 or 1, and run until 4ish. I’ll be live blogging, which will show up as sub-titles. If you sign up for a Stickam account, you can chat with other viewers and myself during the convention.

More Democratic Lunacy…

From the Failed Policies of the Past File:

Mike O’Connor may step down later this summer as Marion County Democratic Chairman. His replacement? Ed Treacy!

Obama laid out his economic plan for the Wall Street Journal:

“Sen. Obama cited new economic forces to explain what appears like a return to an older-style big-government Democratic platform skeptical of market forces. “Globalization and technology and automation all weaken the position of workers,” he said, and a strong government hand is… Continue

Hello, I am new to Smaller Indiana and thought I would reach out to connect and say hello. My name is Brandon and I am the Director for Musical Medicine. We build music libraries for hospitals.

Are you planning on attending the Chocolate Blues and Business Networking Festival next Thursday? I hear it's going to be huge, they expect about 1,500 people to attend. It should be a great networking day! I have free tickets, if you need a ticket, let me know and I'll email you one. If you want more details about it, it's listed under events on the 26th.

Have a good day and I look forward to networking with you. Please let me know if I can ever do anything for you,
Brandon

Hey--- ID Ten T Error on my part. The Tweet up is on Friday 1-9-09 At Hubbard and Cravens. It is correct in the event listing. Sorry for the mix up.

Chris, congrats on your new position. I have made some transitions to the libertarian party this past year. I consider myself a conservative/libertarian. Stay humble in your new position and in the next couple of years I will probably be helping the libertarian party strengthen their policies.

Chris,

Congrats on the new job! You'll do a great job with the LP, but Abdul won't be quite as fun to listen to...

Chris,
Thanks for the message. It was so nice having a totally appreciative audience Saturday night. We had as much fun as the audience had. I would love for you to talk about it on AIM, and if you would like me to come back in sometime this week I will make my schedule fit yours. If not, no worries....it was just great seeing you and your lovely girl friend having such a good time with our show.

Hey Chris,
Have you been reading Eddie's Blog? They are kicking ass! I'm going to see it Wednesday and I can't wait. I have been listening to The Producers CD in my car, and I will never hear, "I'm the German Ethel Merman Don't you know?" without thinking of you.

You may not remember this, but I am the caller who corrected Abdul's reference to the Edvard Munch painting entitled, "The Scream". Thanks for trusting me =)

Hey, Chris. It was great getting to meet you today. I am going to have to start listening more often. And let's talk about that great voice. Have you ever done shows? Just a thought. We had a great time on the show today, and I hope you guys will take us up on our offer for tickets. After all, you guys know more of the punch lines than we do at this point.

You need to get Abdul out detassling corn for charity. Just 15 minutes of getting some dirt under his pedicure nails. Of course, whatever that is leftover for his drinks and cigars.
At 9:49am on June 23, 2008, Sarah Rossier said…
I'm teasing...remember our conversation when I first met you about having a permanent female counter-part of Abdul on the show?

When are you going to invite me on the show Spangle?
