I like Neeleman and Jetblue - good airline, good business practices. Mostly.
What I think is funny is that Jetblue's executives did a whole lot of Romney backing. I wonder how Soros liked that? Regardless, Jetblue sat all over that fence. Therefore I am on the fence with Jetblue.

Soros is a walking talking hyprocrisy of his own belief system.
He's proof that "liberalism" is in fact a disease of the body and obsession of the mind.

To fight propaganda, it would be necessary to come up with something just as hard-hitting on the other side. Values other than mere consumption would need to be promoted, and it would have to be done in a visual medium.
Unfortunately, there is a dearth of material that presents the other side.

Exactly my thoughts....I started consrtructing the response...problem is, it goes something like this:
"My son is in the Army and deployed to Iraq, and I'm damn proud he's protecting our rights and keeping the wolves at bay." - GEN Cody, Vice Chief of Staff of the Army
"My Son is in the Army and deployed to Iraq, and I'm damn proud of him." - GEN Odierno, Commanding General in Iraq
"Our Son is in the Army and we're damn proud of him."
Mr & Mrs Martin (my folks)
"Our Daughter is in the Army, deployed to Afghanistan, and we're damn proud of her."
- Any Military Parent
Continue et.al... until...
"My Son is in the Marines and deployed to Iraq, and and I'm damn proud of him. My other son is in the Naval Academy...and I'm damn proud of him too....and I approved this message.' - Senator John McCain
Problem is it would be viewed as political exploitation of our service. Bastards.

With a mother like that, Little Alex will probably suck at sports, be treated for "attention disorders", struggle with his sexuality, experiment with drugs, under-achieve, be REJECTED for military service when he makes a desperate trip to the nearest recruiter, enjoy the righteous life of the ideologically pure yet under-employed, and return home at 25 to live with his mother!
OTOH, now that I watch it more closely, I believe that Alex is giving a distress signal and that his participation in the commercial was coerced. 
(Lighten up guys, the Left loves it when they make us angry.)

if only . . .
a counter-commercial. Since the first one was so beyond the pale, same lack of limits on this one.
Interview of uniformed soldier standing a post somewhere.
"Hi, I'm Alex". You may know me from the commercial of my mother holding me and saying John McCain can't have me. I felt I needed to come back to this time to go on the record. I love my mom. I know she has always wanted the best for me, but in the years since that commercial was aired, events (insert your list here) have shown everyone we can't sit around, hiding in our houses, hoping that the evil people that (repeat list) will not come to our street. I am serving because I chose to. I love my mother, but I'm no mama's boy.
But, we will never see it.

George is a member of " The Council on Foreign Relations" which has less than @2500 members and their goal along with three other groups, The Trilateral Commission, The Bilderberg Group and their puppet The United Nations have one goal, The New World Order, a one-world government with their members in leadership positions of course. The abolition of sovereginty of the United States and other independent and powerful sovergin states is the main goal of the groups mentioned. The founder of two of the groups David Rockefeller handpicked its leaders and most of the members. Looking at the membership of the three groups you will find cross membership with very limited representation eg there are very few black people, Asians and Russians. Colin Powell was the one african american I found on the membership rolls but I suspect that BHO will be inducted shortly.Regard's, tom kelly

My nephew just signed a (OPT 40) four year enlisted contract with RIP option to be assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment upon RIP completion. He was in the top 10% of his high school class, was named "All Catholic" in two sports and was member of a national science team. His parents are very well off financially, he received offer letters from every college to which he applied. Essentially, the kid can write his own ticket.... and did. He is asking for some of the toughest training the Army has to offer because in his words, "Uncle Bill, I want to earn the right to be an American."
God Bless 'em. RLTW

I really, REALLY like that lady. Normally I'd kinda hate someone who was that gorgeous when she was that pregnant, but I'd like her to be my new best friend. (Yes, girls are dumb.)
