Progressive Policies at Walt Disney Risk Damage to its Brand Image, says Free Enterprise Project

Shareholders Urged to Challenge CEO Bob Iger at Disney’s Annual Meeting

Washington, D.C.: On occasion of the Disney annual shareholder meeting today, the Free Enterprise Project is warning Disney shareholders that CEO Robert Iger’s progressive political bias puts investors at risk.

The Free Enterprise Project is a program of the National Center for Public Policy Research, a Disney shareholder.

“Iger’s rejection of several offers to sell the distribution rights of the ABC-TV docudrama The Path to 9/11 is a sign that his personal political views are affecting business decisions,” said Free Enterprise Project director Dr. Tom Borelli, who has raised the issue personally with Iger at past shareholder meetings. “In addition, Disney’s close ties to progressive Democrats, including President Obama, may have resulted in ABC News’ special access to cover the president’s health care policy in a day-long media blitz last year.” Read the story »

My Science Is Best Because I’m Better Than You Are

One of the problems we face today is the vast separation between the elitist intellectuals and the rest of the normal world. Science is a fascinating field and part of what makes it work is the open discussion of facts and theories. What happens when the “common man” decides to get involved in the debate?

I received an email this morning from someone on the “left” attempting to support his ideas of predator/prey relationships with his science. All was going well until the “left” in him just couldn’t resist adding that last paragraph showing his true colors. It’s quite funny and I share that with you here.

Twenty-Five States Seek “Nullification” Of Federal Gun Control Laws

As of this writing, five states, Montana, Tennessee, Utah, Wyoming and South Dakota, have passed laws through their legislature effectively nullifying the Federal Government’s authority to regulated guns and gun accessories. Two states, Montana and Tennessee, their laws most commonly called Firearms Freedom Acts, have been signed by their governors. The other three are expected to follow suit. In addition to those five states, at least twenty more have introduced similar legislation and another half dozen intend to introduce it. By years end, there could feasibly be well over 30 states making an attempt to tell the Federal Government to butt out of their intrastate gun and gun accessory manufacturing. Read the story »

Putting Ronald Reagan On Our Fifty Dollar Bills

There is a proposal in the House of Representatives to take Ullysses S. Grant off the fifty-dollar bill and replace it with Ronald Reagan. As one might expect in this hate filled, angry and demented society of ours, some have a problem with that and for various reasons. I read on the Daily Kos where somebody stated that putting Reagan on a fifty was no different than Slobodan Milosevic. Such intelligent thought. I suppose that the same person who wrote this doesn’t take issue with the twenty-dollar bill having Andrew Jackson’s picture on it. Andrew Jackson was a staunch democrat and was well noted from defeating the British in the Battle of New Orleans. But as democratic tradition had it in those days, Jackson was a firm supporter of slavery and was responsible for the destruction and migration of all Indian tribes east of the Mississippi. He demand that all Indians be moved west and put on reservations. Slobodan who? Read the story »

Black Leader Speaks Out Against Obama Recommending Reconciliation to Pass Government-Run Health Care

Washington, DC: Mychal Massie, chairman of the Project 21 black leadership network, is condemning President Barack Obama’s decision to urge Senate leaders to employ controversial reconciliation rules to force a government takeover of health care.

“The people have spoken, and they have said no to Obama’s radical brand of health care reform,” said Project 21’s Massie. “Putting his seal of approval on usurping regular Senate procedure showcases not just an extraordinary arrogance and a willingness to abuse legislative power, but it also unambiguously indicates his contempt and disregard for the will of the American people.” Read the story »

McDonald v. City of Chicago: How Limited Will The Right Be?

Photo from fOTOGLIF

Yesterday the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of McDonald v. City of Chicago. It appears from comments made during arguments that probably the court will incorporate the Second Amendment into the Fourteenth Amendment via the “Due Process Clause” and not entertain the idea of opening a can of worms by incorporating with the “Privileges or Immunities Clause”. On the surface it would appear that gun rights advocates will win another victory in that a ruling of incorporation would say that the rights guaranteed under the Second Amendment extend beyond the scope of the federal government and forces the states and local communities to honor that right. But how much? Read the story »

Phil Jones: Not “Pervert[ing] The Peer Review Process”

With the release of information contained in allegedly hacked emails from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia last November, the main question still unanswered by most is whether any of the information formulated in years of study on the climate is valid. Emails seem to clearly indicate there was a conspiracy to withhold data that had been requested through the Freedom of Information Act. Evidence weighs heavy that data was left out, hidden, and/or manipulated to achieve desired results, along with other damning evidence that should make any reasonable thinking person question the results.
