Integrator Installs 37 Flat Panels at Newseum in D.C.

Congrats to the company that managed to get a small portion of the stimulus.  I’m so glad to see they are spending our money on worthwhile projects.  I mean compared to the education and healthcare shortfalls of every state, it is good to see such a wise use of tax funds. NOT!

Hey, Troy,

That company that you just vilified provides jobs and a product many others can enjoy. They are participating in capitalism.  As for using any of the so-called ‘stimulus’ money, I just check and this was provided for by the Newseum’s own funds LONG before the election were even held.

C’mon Troy, I’m betting that you will expand your mind and think—and persue happiness—and not get sucked up the exhaust pipe by political hate groups, fair enough?

Steve,

You have shown me the light!  Thank you brother. NOT!

It is interesting how you ask me “not to get sucked up in the exhaust pipe of political hate speech right after you said I was stupid and closed-minded.”  Might there be just a little bit of hypocrisy falling from your lips, so to speak?

Of course, from a liberal democrats standpoint, if a person says something you don’t agree with, you call it hate speech and being intolerant but, when you do the same thing, you don’t see it that way.  You might want to stop drinking the kool-aid long enough to come out of your stupor and join the rest of America as we get back to some common sense values and standards like living within our means.  Regardless of the political party, it is time for Americans to demand accountability.  And this does not mean the diluted definition of accountability that Obama keeps using all the while spending us deeper and deeper into debt.  And, yes, the republicans have been just as irresponsible so don’t think I am just bashing the democrats.

In the end, I did not bash the company at all.  As for where the money came from, the museum is funded by the taxpayers.  It does not matter when the money was appropriated or by whom but that it is just another example of government waste.  I am sure the people that could not find room in the homeless shelter over the past few cold days are hopping up and down with joy knowing that $40-80,000 was spent on flat panels and installation for a museum instead of more shelter or food.  I guess their pursuit of a warm place to sleep and a warm meal for their family is trumped by the rest of ours pursuit of happiness.

I agree with Steve. These monies were appropriated before even an economic downturn and were used to provide our country with an educational experience through the industry of news.

If you have ever visited the museum, it is a testimony to our history, our technology, and our ability to fairly cover all sides of the story. Truly a phenomenal museum, if there ever was one.
