Announcement: Public / Private – Who Serves America Better?
Sponsored by The New Republic

I received the following announcement from The New Republic regarding a panel discussion on: Who Serves America Best, the Public or Private Sector? The event will be moderated by New Republic Editor Peter Beinart and the panel will include:

Jeff Faux – President, Economic Policy Institute
Grover Norquist – President, Americans for Tax Reform
Leslie Paige – Vice President, Citizens Against Government Waste
Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA)

The event will be held on Thursday, June 13th at 6:30 p.m. in the Cannon Caucus Room (345 Cannon HOB). The Cannon House Office Building is located at Independence and First Street, SE. For those riding the Metro, take the Blue Line to Capitol South. There is an entrance to Cannon on the corner of C and First Street, SE (less than one block from the Metro).

Refreshments will be served. Please RSVP to rsvp@tnr.com or call 202-508-4488, ext 5406. Hope to see you there.

Coool deal.

[Skeet]

That was quick!

[Taxman]

Skeet, good find, good post.

Unfortunately, I will be out of town Thursday, but I certainly encourage as many FReepers as can attend to do so.

Show Waxman that he is peddling snake oil!

Local FRN BOD Ping

[Skeet]

You beat me to the punch, Taxman. Sorry you can't make it. DCC Ping.

[abner]

Just taking a break.

[WRhine]

Oh Great. A compromised Open Borders Muslim Sympathizer Vs. A Communist. Pass the popcorn.

[diotima]

BTTT!

[austinTparty]

Bump with a *woo-hoo* for the private sector!!!

[montag813]

Not much of a contest. Waxman is a shill for the global socialist movement. Norquist is a (well-paid) shill for our Saudi enemies. Why one would want to either the blabberings of either individual is beyond me.

[kristinn]

Thanks for the ping. Depends on when I get off work.

[Gurn]

Hmmm. Will Zacarias Mousaui be there cheering Grover on? Wonder if any of Grover's al-Qaida clients will be in attendance. The man is a disgrace.

[Skeet]

It appears I do not have the same opinion of Mr. Norquist as you do. In all my observations of the man, I find no one more dedicated to the conservative mission. But in an attempt be fair to your contingent, I will monitor Thursday night’s crowd and report back any suspicious activity. Stay tuned.

Exactly. I couldn't have characterized this pair of losers better myself. Both Waxman and Norquist advocate open borders and the kind of cultural "tolerance" that is actually societal suicide. I wouldn't pay a nickel to hear either one of them. I have seen Waxman at work on the Immigration subcommittee -- where he seems to think more highly of illegal immigrant criminals (go back and see what he had to say during the debate over the '96 law) than his fellow, law-abiding Americans. He is a skunk. Norquist is a bought-and-paid-for skunk.

[Gurn]

Maybe you need to become acquainted with the facts. Grover Norquist has aligned himself with the PR frontmen of Hamas and Hizbollah in this country.

I'm unsure as to how to post a link, so just copy and paste this URL:

I have always found this to be a helpful link: HTML Sandbox.

Also, there is basic HTML Help at the bottom of the "Post Reply" page. Here is your link:

GROVER NORQUIST'S STRANGE ALLIANCE WITH RADICAL ISLAM by Franklin Foer.

[tgslTakoma]

I read the article. Yikes! Norquist doesn't look too good being pals with these Hamas (and al Qaida) supporters. I wonder if anyone in tonight's audience was able to quiz him on his ties with these guys. I couldn't be there unfortunately; I'm hosting a house full of teenaged girls. Sometimes FReeping has to take a back seat to the responsibilities of being mom & dad

[Skeet]

I'll be posting a report later today. I'll make sure you are pinged. As far as quizzing Grover on his work with the Muslim community, everyone stayed pretty much on subject regarding the Private verses Public sector.
