You’ve never heard of Hubert J. “Hub” Schlafly Jr., but if you’ve seen a major political speech in the past generation, you know his work.  Schlafly invented the TelePrompTer and changed public address in America. He died April 20th in Connecticut.

He will always live on in our memories... who else can say their invention helped get someone elected President?

In other news, CNN announced that Obama will preside over a memorial service to be held on the White House lawn.

Will Obama call for a moment of silence and flags flown at half staff?

NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

He would, but his teleprompter is in mourning so he can't string two words together at the moment.
