Conestoga Middle School Teacher Jason Levin, His Anti Tea Party Rants–and His Light Saber

See post below, but the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission is looking into the activities of Conestoga Middle School Teacher Jason Levin’s hate filled Anti Tea Party website, his call for derailing the protests, lying about protesters, planting hate speech filled signs at Tea Parties etc.
Verum Serum blog has Levin’s “Political Manifesto” (where I got the shot of the light saber wielding middle school teacher–thanks guys, gold–) here.

Oregon Kid Does Good in American Legion Speech Contest! ($3.5 Mil in Scholarships!)

By Rees Lloyd

            The finals of the American Legion  High School Oratorical Scholarship Program – “A Constitutional Speech Contest,” in which thousands of students have competed across the country, concluded on Sunday, April 11, with a live broadcast of the competition online from Indianapolis, where the National American Legion is headquartered.
            The American Legion’s patriotic educational program results in some $3.5-million in scholarships being given annually to students who compete at  the various levels of competition – from the Legion Posts, to Districts, to Areas, to Departments (States) and ultimately the National Finals.
            The top three National winners  for 2010 are:  Tori Beth Black of S. Carolina, Elizabeth Blessing of Alabama, and Brooke Conner of Vermont. The received scholarships of $18,000, $16,000, and $14, 000 respectively.
            Winners from all 50 states plus three overseas Departments of the Legion, competed. Every competitor received a $1,500 scholarship, plus the scholarship funds received at each step of the competition in their states.
            The Oregon Department winner was Dalton Hellman, a senior at Canby High School. He was sponsored by Canby Post 122.
            Congratulations to all the kids who competed at every level of the Legion Oratorical Scholarship contest, an outstanding patriotic educational program.
            Congratulations, too, to all the wartime veteran members of The American Legion who make this patriotic learning experience available to the nation’s kids, and future leaders.  
    They are sure not getting it in the ” public schools, in which patriotism is trumped by “progressive” politically correct pap and propaganda;  the Star Spangled Banner by “Barack Hussein Obama, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm;” and the Ten Commandments by Ten Condoms.
            More information on the American Legion’s Oratorical Scholarship Program, Boys State, Girls State, and other of the Legion’s Americanism programs for Children and Youth, is available at www. Legion.org.

GOP Aide and Boyfriend Savagely Beaten, Hospitalized

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s chief fundraiser Alexandra “Allee” Bautsch and her boyfriend Joe Brown were savagely attacked and beaten Friday night after leaving a GOP fundraising dinner in New Orleans. Allee Bautch sufffered a broken leg and her boyfriend, Joe Brown received a broken jaw and nose and a concussion.

Leftists had been protesting outside Brennan’s Restaurant, where the fundraising dinner was held, but attacked the couple afterwards a couple blocks away. Bautsch recalls hearing one of the attackers say “Let’s get them, they have Palin pins on.”

The Hayride blog has several links to local reports, video of the leftist protest and quotes of the leftist vitriol concerning this uncalled for attack.

Substitute “Jew” where you hear “Republican” and we are beginning to look more and more like 1930’s Germany. Und, vast ist Herr Obama doink to calm the nation and his dogs? NUTTINK!!

Don’t look for two Republicans being savagely attacked and beaten to make national news. It isn’t as newsworthy as Michelle Obama and Jill Biden helicoptering over Haiti.

Small businesses don’t see recovery panning out

From the Wall Street Journal Market Watch

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — U.S. small-business owners were more pessimistic in March than in February, according to a survey of companies released Tuesday by the National Federation of Independent Businesses.

The NFIB’s index fell to an eight-month low of 86.8 from 88, with only one of 10 components improving. The index has been below 90 for 18 consecutive months now, having hit a cyclical low of 81 in March 2009.

“Something isn’t sitting well with small-business owners,” said Bill Dunkelberg, chief economist for the small-business lobbying group. “Poor sales and uncertainty continue to overwhelm any other good news about the economy.”

The NFIB survey may be reflecting political — not economic — angst, said Tony Crescenzi, a strategist for Pimco. Government policies, which have favored small business for a decade, have turned more negative, he said.

**UPDATED: MSM Tea Party Coverage: Horrible

Here. Oh, and guess what? The “Learn to Speak Tea Bag” (here) cartoonist has won a pulitzer. Really.
MSM allowed themselves to be used to further false “racist” story here.
Here’s the tape of the members of the Congressional Black Caucus choosing to walk right through the Tea Party folks for their photo op–and to MAKE UP a story about being called the N word. Then, as you read at Big Government the anatomy of how they spoon fed the false story to reporters.

**Updated: Tea Party Saboteur Outed as Beaverton Middle School Teacher. They Must be so Proud.

I’d love to say something noble about free speech and the usual blah, blah about what people do on their own time is their own bidness, but, seriously, a middle school teacher who’s an anarchist? He’s stepped from the realm of propriety and protected speech into the realm of anarchy.
Look at this:

Attempting to sabotage the Tea Parties on April 15th is beneath the dignity and stature of a school teacher. Is Agent Provocateur part of the gig? It’s potentially illegal and it’s unbecoming an educator. Engaging in anarchist behavior is probably against rules of conduct for teachers (and if it’s not it should be). They’re planning to hold up racist signs etc. I thought the educrats had a hatred toward “hate” speech and thought crimes. Does he get a pass because he’s trying to make US look bad?

The other thing to bear in mind is what a tool this guy is. This guy is a teacher and he hasn’t bothered to do the least investigation into who the Tea Party folks are and what they stand for. He’s automatically dismissed the movement without bothering to do as much as he’d require a student to do for a paper. This is an EDUCATOR? Think about it, this teacher is so INTELLECTUALLY VAPID that he hasn’t bothered to do the least bit of fact checking. He’s a media specialist so you’d think he’d bother to do a little rudimentary fact checking (besides Daily Kos, genius).
And what exactly is he against? Taxation without representation? Socialism? Getting the US into debt that we can’t hope to repay? Does this mean he’s in favor of this stuff? The education system is worse than we thought, then. 

The Freepers outed the teacher today. Here’s their thread. And here’s the highlight of the thread:

The current registry for the website lists:
Registrant:
Ben Franklin
3 chestnut lane
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19115
United States

Luckily, freeper HOYA97 was able to grab the true registry info before it was changed to cover Mr. Levin’s tracks.
Registrant ID:CR45137659

Registrant Name:Jason Levin

Registrant Street1:xxxx SW Bi*** Street

Registrant City:Portland

Registrant State/Province:Oregon

Registrant Postal Code:97223

Registrant Country:US

Registrant Phone:+1.503936xxxx

So now we learn the website’s true owner is Jason Levin of Portland, OR. His attempt to hide his info by using “Ben Franklin” and “Philadelphia” came from his Myspace page (found by freeper correctthought) as Franklin is listed as his hero and Philly was listed as his hometown. His Myspace page uses the screen name “xenex11” which also was listed on the original registry info.
Freeper csd found Mr. Levin’s twitter account and his linkein account.(xenex11 used once again) From linkein we learn:

 The Freepers also found some interesting My Space info:

Most definitely look for his brother and friends at Tea Parties and ask them to leave. We don’t need intolerant teaphobes at the Tea Parties. Here’s an update on what some are suggesting be done with the party crashers:

So let’s work together to beat them at their own game. If you see anyone with an offensive sign, take a picture of it and forward it to us at Pajamas Media. Mail it to our tips address (story@pajamasmedia.com) and we’ll publish it, along with an explicit statement that this doesn’t reflect the real tea party spirit. Try to get the person’s face, so they can be properly shamed.
Of course, if they’re leftists flying under a false racist flag, they will also have their faces and signs published. They’ll also be derided, just as if they’re real racists. If their friends happen to see them, along with their sign, any conclusions they draw will be their own.

And after the Freepers outed him this is what he posted on his website:


Well, we are certainly in the spotlight! Some of my cohorts don’t agree with me that this is for the best but what’s done is done.
After all the right wing zealots bombed the board, I was contacted directly by so many of you who wanted to join our little group that at first we weren’t sure what to do!
But We have since devised this system:
Agents will be able to report in the VIP room (password protected)
and coded messages will be sent out via this blog.
White Rabbit, Queen of Hearts, and March Hare will also contact many of you directly via email or facebook.
Good Luck and Good Crashing!
~ Hatter

Income falls 3.2% during Obama’s term (so far)

From the Tuesday April 13, 2010 Washington Times

Real personal income for Americans – excluding government payouts such as Social Security – has fallen by 3.2 percent since President Obama took office in January 2009, according to the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis.

For comparison, real personal income during the first 15 months in office for President George W. Bush, who inherited a milder recession from his predecessor, dropped 0.4 percent. Income excluding government payouts increased 12.7 percent during Mr. Bush’s eight years in office.

“This is hardly surprising,” said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, an economist and former director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. “Under President Obama, only federal spending is going up; jobs, business startups, and incomes are all down. It is proof that the government can’t spend its way to prosperity.”

According to the bureau’s statistics, per capita income dropped during 2009 in 47 states, with only modest gains in the other states, West Virginia, Maine and Maryland. But most of those increases were attributed to rising income from the government, such as Medicare and unemployment benefits.
