You’ve seen and smiled at the Progressive Insurance TV commercials. Well, you’re about to learn the rest of the story:

VERY IMPORTANT INFO TO PASS TO  EVERYONE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR  COUNTRY. 

You’ve seen and smiled at the Progressive Insurance TV  commercials.  Well, you’re about to learn the rest of the story:   

  
PROGRESSIVE  AUTO INSURANCE  

           You know their TV commercials, the ones featuring the ditsy actress all dressed in white. What you might not know is that the  Chairman of Progressive is Peter Lewis, one of  the major funders of leftist causes in America.  Between 2001 and 2003, Lewis funneled $15 million to the ACLU, the group most responsible for destroying what's left of Americas Judeo-Christian heritage.    
Lewis also gave $12.5 million to MoveOn.org   http://moveon.org and American Coming Together, two key propaganda arms of the socialist left.  His funding for these groups was conditional on matching contributions from George Soros, the America-hating socialist who is the chief financier of the Obama political machine.  Lewis made a fortune as a result of capitalism, but now finances a progressive movement that threatens to destroy the American free enterprise system.  

           Peter Lewis is making a fortune off conservative Americans (who buy his auto insurance) that he applies to dismantle the very system that made him wealthy.  He's banking on no one finding out who he is, so, STOP buying Progressive Insurance and pass this information on to all your friends.

Would that be this General Betray Us?


Would that be this General Betray Us?

I’m just asking?

Oddly enough, MoveOn.org still had this Sept. 2007 ad up as of June 18, according to their Google cache. But if you go to http://pol.moveon.org/petraeus.html now, it’s gone. They kept it there for almost 3 years before taking it down all of a sudden.

Wonder why?

McChrystal out, Petraeus in, MoveOn.org scrambling

The Daily Caller - Published: 06/23/10 at 3:46 PM

Our own Jon Ward reports:

President Obama relieved Gen. Stanley McChrystal of his command of the war in Afghanistan Wednesday because of insubordinate remarks by him and his aides in a Rolling Stone article published earlier this week.

“I accepted General Stanley McChrstal’s resignation,” Obama said to reporters in the Rose Garden…

The president is replacing McChrystal with Gen. David Petraeus.
That’s right, this Gen. David Petraeus:

20071220 My vote for person of the year: David Petraeus

My vote for person of the year David Petraeus

The annual naming of a person of the year is usually the stuff of a good conversation at a holiday party – otherwise, I tend to not get wrapped around the axle about it all.

However, cruising the web the other day, I came across this post on the Vets for Freedom website: href="http://www.vetsforfreedom.org/news/blogitem.aspx?id=145">Man Of The Year: David Petraeus.

I could not agree more…

Man Of The Year: David Petraeus

Vets for Freedom: 12/14/2007 8:07:17 PM

http://www.vetsforfreedom.org/news/blogitem.aspx?id=145


Time magazine hasn’t announced its pick for “man of the year” yet, but we certainly know ours: Gen. David Petraeus, commander of the multinational force in Iraq and architect of the surge strategy that is turning the tide in the war.

Petraeus formulated a brilliant counterinsurgency plan. He executed it with care and diligence. And when much of the country didn’t want to notice the security gains that the surge had wrought, he took the national media spotlight to defend his strategy and his honor. In all this, he was nothing less than masterly.

When Petraeus testified on Capitol Hill in early September, much of the media and the Left simply refused to believe that violence in Iraq was down.

[…]

And the day Petraeus’s testimony began, MoveOn.org ran its infamous “General Petraeus or General Betray Us?” ad. It said that “every independent report on the ground situation in Iraq shows that the surge strategy has failed”; that Petraeus “is constantly at war with the facts”; and that the general “is cooking the books for the White House.”

Throughout his testimony, Petraeus continued to suffer slanders from members of Congress who cared about politics more than truth.

Hillary Rodham Clinton stopped just short of calling him a liar, saying that to believe his report required “a willing suspension of disbelief.”

Less than a month later, however, Petraeus’s critics had been effectively silenced. To its great credit, The Washington Post acknowledged this in a blistering editorial:

20071005 County residents rally against SCHIP veto by Meg Bernhardt

20071005 County residents rally against SCHIP veto by Meg Bernhardt


County residents rally against SCHIP veto

By Meg Bernhardt , News-Post Staff Originally published October 05, 2007


[…]

… and roughly 30 others rallied Thursday night in downtown Frederick. They protested President Bush's decision to veto a bill that would reauthorize and expand SCHIP and urged U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, R-6, to support an override of the veto.

The largely Democratic-backed bill would increase spending by $35 billion, to roughly $60 billion, over the next five years. Maryland would receive $178 million in the first year alone.

Following House approval of the bill last week, the Senate voted 67-29 to increase spending from about $5 billion annually to $12 billion annually for the next five years -- double what the president wants. It relies on a 61-cent federal cigarette tax.

Bush vetoed it Wednesday, recommending a $5 billion increase for SCHIP over the next five years, bringing total spending to $30 billion.

Health care advocates have said Bartlett's vote is critical for a House override of the veto. Bartlett, a Republican, voted for the original SCHIP program, but voted against the expansion because it would be a step toward universal health care, he said.

"I support continuing SCHIP health insurance for all children of the working poor, but that is not what this debate is about," Bartlett said in a radio address Thursday. "Democrats are demanding that SCHIP be expanded because they want to force government-controlled, taxpayer-paid health coverage onto middle-class and upper-class families who already have private health care coverage that they themselves control."

[…]

(Tobi) Drabczyk brought her four children to the rally, which was sponsored by Operation Democracy Frederick, a local affiliate of MoveOn.org.

"Our family is on the SCHIP program and we really need this program," she said.

Her husband works a full-time job for less than $40,000 a year, and it would cost between $700 and $1,000 to insure their family through his employer.

Her son, Mitchell Drabczyk, is 13 and has Tourette's syndrome, a neurological disorder. The program is the only way they can get him treated, she said.

"SCHIP is for working families. We just need a little bit of help and SCHIP is that help," she said. "We just need to get all children covered and if an expansion is needed to do that, then we should do it."

Bartlett's stance is becoming a campaign issue. He is up for re-election in 2008.

Republican challenger Joseph T. Krysztoforski was coming from another Frederick event when he saw the rally. He stopped to talk with the pickets and said he would have voted yes on the bipartisan effort.

"I think it's something Roscoe should look carefully at changing his vote," Krysztoforski said.

Democratic opponent Andrew Duck has also criticized Bartlett's vote.

"It was the wrong decision," he said by phone Thursday.

He released a statement on the vote last week.

"We need to make sure all Americans have access to quality health care. This bill is a great start. That we in the wealthiest country in history are even having a debate about whether children deserve health care is appalling. That Roscoe Bartlett says they don't makes him unfit to represent our district," Duck said in the statement.

Bartlett has thanked critics for drawing attention to his vote, saying it was the correct one.

"Only Democrat Congressional leaders could demand that a family earning $82,000 a year could qualify for their expanded SCHIP program and simultaneously call that same family rich enough to force them to pay the AMT, Alternative Minimum Tax," Bartlett said. "It just goes to show that what Democrats really want is to have the government control how to spend the money that American taxpayers earn."

County residents rally against SCHIP veto

[1] Especially:

MYTH #5: President Bush will be responsible if SCHIP is not reauthorized by September 30.

FACT: Congress is irresponsibly waiting until just before SCHIP expires on September 30 to pass a final bill they know will be vetoed. Democrats have known for months that President Bush would veto a bill like the one they intend to send him.

FACT: One of the Democrats' leaders has even said such a veto would be a "political victory." Members of Congress are putting health coverage for poor children at risk just so they can score political points in Washington.

FACT: President Bush has called on Congress to pass a clean, temporary extension of the current SCHIP program that he can sign by September 30. The President does not believe health coverage for poor children should be held hostage while political ads are being made and new polls are being taken.

FACT: The President has instructed HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt to work with states to mitigate the resulting damage if Congress allows SCHIP to lapse.

Ad Watch: ‘Giuliani AWOL’

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPj-bpIeSTU

By Katharine Q. Seelye

INTRO: The ad is the third in MoveOn’s series of “betrayal” ads that began last week with a print ad that called Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of American forces in Iraq, “General Betray Us.”

The second is a 30-second spot starting today on CNN criticizing President Bush for not reducing the number of troops to pre-surge levels. The “Betray Us” ad elicited a ferocious response from Republicans, including Rudolph W. Giuliani.

TITLE: “Giuliani AWOL”

PRODUCERS: Zimmerman & Markman Inc., for MoveOn.org Political Action.

David Keelan: Rudy vs. Hillary and MoveOn.org

September 16th, 2007

Many thanks to David Keelan over at “Howard County Maryland Blog” for calling to our attention the Rudy Giuliani ad featuring yet another enigmatic critical stumble by 2008 presidential candidate, New York Senator Hillary Clinton.

If the Howard County Maryland Blog is not part of your regular reading, then you are missing out.

Meanwhile, watch this: “She Changed:”

This ad focuses on Senator Clinton's politically expedient positions on the War in Iraq, as well as her support for the ad attacking General Petraeus placed by MoveOn.org in The New York Times.

20070912 Comparing MoveOn.org’s NYTimes ad to ads about Sen. John Kerry in 2004

Comparing MoveOn.org’s NYTimes ad to ads about Sen. John Kerry in 2004

September 12th, 2007


A number of folks have vigorously defended The General Petraeus New York Times Ad by regurgitating the Swift Boat Veterans’ ads about 2004 presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry.



To be certain, both Senator Kerry and General Petraeus testified in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.


But here is where the wheels come off the cart. As so eloquently memorialized by Col. Oliver North on August 27th, 2004, in a column titled, “Bring it in John,” he wrote:


On April 22, 1971, under oath, you told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that you had knowledge that American troops "had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the country side of South Vietnam." And you admitted on television that "yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed."


And for good measure you stated, "(America is) more guilty than any other body, of violations of (the) Geneva Conventions ... the torture of prisoners, the killing of prisoners."



In a compare and contrast of General Petraeus and Sen. Kerry, those of us who know history and witnessed the events of April 22, 1971 are quite surprised that liberals dare even mention the name Sen. Kerry in the same paragraph with General Petraeus.

Don Surber calls to our attention: Hatch on Move On

September 12th, 2007 by donsurber


Reference: "20070910 The General Petraeus New York Times Ad"

A grownup has stood up in the Senate to denounce the “Betray Us” ad by MoveOn.org. The Democratic Party should be ashamed that it took Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah to say what has to be said — and to defend the honor of a man who was unanimously appointed by the Senate.

A taste of what he said:

“Now, anyone who has had the opportunity to meet the General, and anybody who has bothered to follow his career or his academic pursuits, knows that these are dangerous and unwarranted allegations. However, there might be a silver lining to this slander. Libel, really, because it was printed The New York Times. Now, all of America understands MoveOn.org and other groups like it are called the nutroots of our society. These people are nuts and they don’t care who they hurt, they don’t care who they smear they don’t care who they libel. Politics is more important than anything else and power is the most important anything of all.”

Support the troops? Then support the No. 1 Troop — General David Petraeus.

General Petraeus or General Betray Us? Cooking the books for the White House

View the ad (PDF):

http://pol.moveon.org/content/pac/pdfs/PetraeusNYTad.pdf

Maryland District 6 Congressman Roscoe Bartlett’s office wrote:

This MoveOn.org ad in today’s New York Times claims General Petraeus is not giving an objective, independent view of the situation on the ground. The ad asserts 'General Petraeus or General Betray us? Cooking the books for the White House.’”

Meanwhile, in contrast, Michael O’Hanlon of the center-left-leaning Brookings Institution who has been very critical of the Bush Administration’s policies in Iraq and reported in August about the military successes of the surge asserts that General Petraeus is a straight-shooter who doesn’t cook the books.
