Dew Tour Returns to Portland – I Am A BIG FAN!!!
Friday, August 14th, 2009
I’ve been watching action sports since they started some 17 years ago! The last two years I have attended the Dew Tour events in Portland, OR. This week, the tour is in town! Here is a photo of the vert ramp in the Rose Garden.
I’ve always been disappointed with the TV coverage of sporting events. They NEVER show the up and coming athletes. Last night I saw 24 skaters rip up skate park and 17 tear up the vert ramp. Usually, I only get to see seven or eight of the top ten.
Being a die hard fan, I will have my butt planted in the seat at every event today, Saturday and Sunday. Stay Tuned for more pictures.
Not Necessarily Representative of America? Are You Kidding?
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009Senator Specter, please take heart over what I’m about to write. All debate in America is American. It is unpatriotic for you to doubt the intentions of citizens.
It has been the common tactic by liberals who protest by disruption. In Portland, Oregon for example, a group of Animal right’s activists protested in front of a fur store in Downtown Portland for months harassing the shoppers and driving the business out of business. That sir is un-American.
How about Code Pick launching into frequent yelling strikes at congressional and administrative meetings every month for the last eight years? Isn’t that un-American too? Based on your current standard, if the protest is not quite and hidden, then it must be un-American.
How about we look back to 1776 and ask if those protests were un-American? They certainly were not quite? Would you prefer us conservative American’s take the route of our fore-fathers? Or are you ok with hearing our loud voices during your public town hall gatherings?
Source of my frustration: Specter: Protests not ‘representative of America’
