No More "Times"

r1870449292
The New York Times is proving again that the main stream media has lost all credibility and short of the obituary and want ad sections, can't be trusted for accuracy or objectivity in news - actually that's because those sections are written by readers, not reporters. Apparently NYT reporters are investigating the adoptions of Supreme Court Nomonee, John Robert's two children. I'm sure this is completely above board and normal proceedure to look into adoption records. And we have to assume that when their investigation is complete, if no dirt can be found in the issue, the Times would run a positive story on the virtues of adoption and how squeeky clean Judge Roberts and his wife are, right?
Wrong! The Times, like so much of the "MSM" is absolute garbage. How dare they try to destroy a nomonee by digging into their family lives! I'm done with the Times. No more. It actually is only an occational read anyway because I've been sick of it for years, but this sent me over the edge.

At present they are trying to backpeddle their way out of it by releasing a statement saying that investigating the adoption is part of the paper's "standard background check." Bill Borders, NYT senior editor, explains: "Our reporters made initial inquiries about the adoptions, as they did about many other aspects of his background. They did so with great care, understanding the sensitivity of the issue."

Sorry Bill, this doesn't pass the smell test; "doing so" at all is the problem. If you have a beef with Roberts because he's a conservative, fine, just be honest and come out and say so. But to go after the adoption of young children is beyond disgusting even for the breed of liberals that have infested the Times.

"More On" Fine art exhibit

There seems to be a bit of confusion on the part of some liberal commenters as to the sincerity of my praise of the outstanding display of artistic talent at the request of the California State Attorney Generals Office. Some unfortunate, anonymous individual, who apparently was denied a name at birth, doesn't seem to think that my praise of the work by Stephen Pearcy was sincere or that my facts were accurate. Well, just to make this poor no named soul feel better, here are some facts.

1. The art exhibit is co-sponsored by the California Arts Council, a taxpayer supported state agency, and Attorney General Bill Lockyer, Democrat.

2. While Lockyer and the Arts Council have tried to distance themselves from responsibility concerning the content of the exhibit, a news release by Lockyer shows his support. In the release, Attorney General Lockyer says it is “an honor to co-host this powerful exhibit.” Lockyer goes on to say, “the collected fine works of these artists – and lawyers – achieve these worthwhile objectives with style and beauty.” In the same news release, Muriel Johnson, Chairman of the California Arts Council, says she was “impressed” by the work, describing it as “wonderful.”

The fact that there is an art exhibit at all within the state government means that it is government sponsored. Therefore essentially, as taxpayers, the residents of that state have a right to know what their resources are being used for and to object.

As an artist myself, I have been in many art exhibits. Even in the simplest show, for any legitimate event the works have been juried before being allowed to hang. Therefore either this was juried and supported by the government officials overseeing the display, or it was simply another example of incompetence where democrat lefties saw another opportunity to shock and offend the sensibilities of mainstream America. Either way, the losers will be Democrats as they continue to distance themselves from the sane majority of this country.

Liberal Art Shows Stunning Genius!

Typical Lib
Another brilliant creative genius displayed his talent recently at the California State Department at the request of Democrats. It's truly amazing to witness the depth of talent and intellect within the rank and file liberals that make up the bulk of the Democratic Party. There seems to be an infinite reserve of creativity and exquisite artistic technique within liberals that apparently cannot be matched by bottled up, stuffy Republicans. In this artistic epiphany by Lawyer/Artist Stephen Pearcy, the use of line, form and color literally floats through the viewers’ eyes, touching and pacifying the soul. Even the thought given to the placement, color and weight of the custom typography used is perfectly in balance with the unity of the whole. The artist's use of brush technique accentuates the energy and movement carried throughout the piece.

In describing his work, Pearcy said he had made the painting on July 4, 2003, to "show the direction this country was (and still is) headed under the Bush administration." The painting also "confronted the absurd display of 'fanatical patriotism' following 9/11." It truly is a beautiful thing when creativity at this level, and patriotism come together so cohesively in a work such as this. Liberals must be very proud!

Sacramento is truly blessed to have a work of this caliber hanging within its walls. Californians can only hope that the state department will see fit to use some ill-targeted tax money, probably slated for something excessive like new fire trucks or roads, and find a way to make this wonderful display of liberal genius a permanent fixture in the state capitol. Bravo Stephen Pearcy, your art has touched all of us! Liberals everywhere should stand up and salute. Liberal superiority has been proven once again!

Terrorist's War on Cars Continues

car
In another surprise attack, Islamic terrorists attacked and destroyed another perfectly good car. Their relentless mission to destroy the automobile seems to be driving force that fuels the continued carnage all over the world. Their broader vision apparently is a war on transportation - airplanes in the US, trains in Spain, subways and busses in London - but their favorite target is of course, the automobile. It is surprising how intelligence agencies, governments and military strategists have misdiagnosed the true aim of global terror. They keep thinking only in terms of the human impact these acts have when in fact, harm to innocent people is no more than unintended collateral damage to those who just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The true target of their hate is the car.

To discover this little known secret of the Islamic terrorist network I took an Evelyn Woods speed reading Arabic course and set out to do some research. It took some deep digging but finally I found the clues I needed and was able to connect the hidden dots. It seems that at the core of Islam is a profound love and respect for animals, the camel in particular. They actually have very close ties with P.E.T.A. and a little known Islamic organization, L.Y.C.T. (Love Your Camel Tonight). In a recent article in Al Jezeera, Osama Binladen writes of his love for his latest wife, and of the beauty of their courtship. It is quite moving. jibberishIt is because of this devotion and love for the camel that they have such a deep hatred for more modern forms of transportation. They are deeply saddened and angered that over the past 10 years, camel sales have dropped off by nearly 40 percent. In an interview with a anonymous source in a terrorist network in Afghanistan, he shared that he suffers from chronic depression caused by the realization that his sons may not know the joy of emerging from their cave every morning to the warm wet kiss of the family camel. Instead, it will be the cold impersonal sheen of sheet metal on the Mercedes. It's no wonder they want to destroy all the cars.

Now that we know and understand the true goals of radical Islamic terror, the solution to ending the violence seems simple. We must remove all motorized transportation from these simple loving cultures and send representatives from P.E.T.A., the Sierra club and Green Peace to hand out flyers and share their mutual love of animals so that the terrorists will feel a kinship with us. Only then will the world have a meaningful and lasting peace and camels and will once again be at the center of the Islamic world.

"That's Not My Bag, Baby!"

Obviously we all are intensely interested in trying to prevent any more terrorism from hitting us within our own borders. London has been another cruel reminder that the scum is out there, waiting for the opportunity to slaughter the innocent. So when I read that New York was going to start random bag searches of people using any of the mass transit systems in the city, I was very pleased. Finally, I thought, they are going to do something more than give us a color-coded warning. Let the authorities get out there and search these anti-deodorant fanatics before they can get on a subway and kill Americans!

Then I read further, and the sad reality sunk in. Just when I thought they were getting it right, they inform us that it's more important to not offend someone or hurt their feelings from being selected out, than to really try to prevent us from being blown into tiny pieces. In a New York Times article today, police commissioner Kelly said in reference to who would be checked, "No racial profiling will be allowed," Mr. Kelly said. "It's against our policies. But it will be a systematized approach."

Oops. not helpful. This will unfortunately become like the fiasco of politically correct searches at the airport. Look, we all know who and what are blowing innocent people up! It's not the Johnsons next door! You've got to profile! I suppose there could be another McVey or Rudolph out there, but they are the exception. The backpacks that need to be checked will be on the backs of morons named Mohammed, and on women wearing black shower curtains. Check them, and leave the Johnsons alone!

Good choice!

SCOTUS SHORT LIST
Thank you! During the 2004 Presidential campaign, the impending Supreme Court vacancy(s) was the big issue out there waiting to solidify conservatives and to finally put an end to, or at least curtail judicial activism. This was probably the one issue that rallied the most support for President Bush over all others. With the announcement of John Roberts as his choice to fill the first vacancy, that campaign promise seems to have not been forgotten. Roberts seems to be the perfect choice for the court. His intellect is undeniable, his character appears impeccable and he seems to have a demonstrable track record of being a strict constructionist, using the constitution as his guide, not world or popular opinion. The other benefit to this choice is that it will make fools of the liberals in the Senate who will not be able to contain themselves and will need to try to shoot down this appointment. It will be like insects to a bug zapper. They won't be able to hold back. Already liberals like Schumer, and Durbin have promised to make fools of themselves by tipping their hand as to how they feel about Roberts. Liberal groups like Moveon are going to attempt to either smear Roberts or do their best to influence the liberals in the senate to vote against him. They will fail. And it will be glorious! Of course there's no assurance how anyone will prove to be as a Supreme Court justice, but given the current tone in Washington, this seems to be a brilliant choice by the President. The confirmation process will be entertaining to say the least. Way to go, George!

Leftie Fodder

Begala clinton
OK, look; this is a message specifically aimed at the evil lefties out there who seem hell bent on living in a fantasy land and insisting that we need to be killed at the hands of Islamo-fascist zombies who live only to kill us! You are dangerous morons! I couldn't believe what Clintonista, Paul Begalla said this past weekend to a bunch of brainwashed college children, that "Republicans want to kill me and my children". What a despicable human. All these former Clinton apologists have done nothing of value except continue to spin the big lie that "D" means good, and "R" means bad.

I love all the whaling and gnashing of teeth over the Rove situation. It is once again, the perfect example of the looney left completely losing it over absolutely nothing. Talk about making mountains out of molehills! This will prove to be nothing. Except that maybe Joe Wilson should go to prison for perjury. What a shameless partisan hack! Nice ambassador. It's no wonder we never had a chance to work anything out with Iraq.

Where was the lefties' outrage when Sandy Berger was literally caught with his pants down (now there's a Clintonism), stealing documents? Sandy Berger, former Clinton National Security Advisor goes into the National Archives and removes top secret memos, notes and documents, stuffs them in his underwear and socks, steals them and destroys them. All this right before he and drinkin' buddy Bill were to testify in front of the 9-11 commission on what their administration did in response to terrorism. Oops. Nothing. Quick, cover our butts and plead ignorance. That always works. And on matters like this, we never hear boo from the left. That's OK I guess, sure no problem, look the other way. And this is one place where I strongly disagree with the Bush Whitehouse and the Justice department. Go after Traitors like Berger, et.al. They are too soft on the illegal actions of the former regime. But I guess they still think they can win party points with these people if they just treat them nice. Note to President Bush, not that unlike the insane Islamists, the left hates you and I because we exist, not because we haven't been nice enough to them! They will always hate conservatives! They live only to try to win back power and to eliminate conservatism. There will be no compromising with these hate filled lunatics! So quit trying so hard to be nice, it won't work.

Then on a final note, on my previous post, a gutless, hate filled lib commented the following,

"Hey Scud, you have five children who are of military service age. Why don't your children "take it from here", and go act as IED bait in Iraq?"

This is a perfect example of the hate and disdain that the left has for this country and the military. First of all gutless, my children are all honest, patriotic Americans and yes, they have and are considering service. Which is more, I assume, than you would ever do. And no matter what they choose to do, I will be incredibly proud of them. Unlike you, I don't actually hate you or the other pathetic misinformed sheeple like you. I just pity your demonstrated ignorance and realize that you, like a cancer, have metastasized to the point that you will not go away. So we, the healthy side of this country, just have to keep winning and continue to deal with the illness of liberalism. Have a nice day!

We'll Take it from Here

bus
OK, it's time for the whiney, wimpy, limp-wristed liberals to step back and let the adults handle things from here. I think the liberals have had their time to tantrum about the unfairness of no longer being in power or having any credibility as to political ideology. It is time for them to sit down, shut up and let the grown ups save their sorry butts. You would think that they would have the capacity to learn that appeasement has never worked throughout history, or in this conflict, which has been going on for decades. The Islamo-fascists have been very clear; they hate the west because it exists not because of a particular policy or our support of Israel, or a military base on Saudi soil. We are infidels because we don't adhere to their fanatical view of Islam. Period! They cannot be reasoned with, they don't play by Geneva convention rules, and they are thrilled at the thought of dying while killing as many women and children as possible. They need to be rooted out and destroyed, no more touchy feely crap about being sensitive to their cultural and religious needs. And let's face it; this is a war on Islam! This is a cult not a religion. It was formed by a fanatical and barbaric lunatic who had delusions of grandeur, and hated women- although he owned dozens, some as young as 6 years old. Why anyone would buy into this is a mystery to me. I have no respect for muslims at all. Why don't we hear prominent Islamic leaders calling for jihad against the terrorists among them to weed them out and destroy them? They would go a long way to earn the respect of the rest of the world if they would only do this. I want to see on the front page of the paper that muslims have turned over terrorist cells living among them. Why doesn't that happen? Because the moderates are afraid they will be killed, or they know that the terrorists are actually following the teachings of the Koran. Either way, we know that will never happen. So the only way to defend ourselves from the army of Satan is to take the fight to them. Thank you President Bush, Tony Blair and the rest of the coalition of the willing who are strong enough to stand up against the evil of terror, and it's partner in psychological warfare, liberalism.

It's the Fourth of July!

Fireworks
Ahh... the middle of summer. As a Minnesotan, I have mixed feelings about this time of year. It's wonderful that the weather is fabulous, everything is growing and the lakes are available for swimming and fishing. But it's also a bit sad, in that I realize that this time of year, that I have looked forward to for so long, is almost gone. The days are already getting shorter and before long, we will be gathering our nuts and feathering our nests in preparation for another brutal 9 month endurance test called winter. Oh well, let's enjoy it while we can!

My wife and I went to our local fourth of July celebration and sat right in the middle of the large crowd of people and prepared to be thrilled at the sight and sounds of "rockets red glare". Prior to the fireworks, as the orchestra was playing a medely of military marches, the MC had all those who had served in the military stand up when their particular service branch song came up. It was very moving to me to see all the white haired men struggle to stand up when their song started to play. As I listened and watched, I couldn't help but to feel an enormous sense of gratitude for these folks who sacrificed and risked everything to preserve this young country we enjoy. The audience applauded throughout the song as the different veterans stood and it made me proud to be a part of this great nation. As I looked around me I could see people of every shape, color, economic strata and cultural heritage showing their appreciation to the veterans who were standing. It felt good knowing that for all the differences we have on various issues we face today, for the most part, other than university and hollywood elites, we all still love this country and respect our military - past, present and future. They are the reason we continue to exist as a nation. And they have earned and continue to deserve our continued gratitude and honor.

Now it's back to preparing for winter.

Michael Schiavo's Lawyer: An Oddball

legalized murderers
This is lifted from News Max and I found interesting enough to post in it's entirety. It confirms what I and most other Americans thought, that Schiavo and his attorney, Felos were sick money grubbing criminals endorsed by the left, the mainstream media, and the immoral courts. Ultimately, it is an example of why we need constitutionally based judges brought back into the courts.

In a stunning profile of George Felos -- the attorney who helped Michael Schiavo put his wife Terri to death -- an author and famed theologian shows the weird side of the crusading right-to-die lawyer.

This is certainly a story the mainstream media ignored.

Writing in Crisis magazine, Benjamin Wiker, co-author of "Architects of the Culture of Death" and a senior fellow at the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, uses Felos' own words to expose his oddball views.

Wiker is no friend of Felos' views. He writes of Terri's Shiavo's death: "Cold blooded murder, sanctioned by the state of Florida, watched by millions. Horrible, but again quite transparent. Michael wanted the money. His wife Terri, had to die for him to get it. And so he hired a 'right-to-die' expert, lawyer George Felos.

"Felos exudes a different moral odor than his client, and I wasn't the only one who noticed. He wasn't just morally wrong; he was creepy. One has the nagging feeling that he represents a more hidden and poisonous evil."

Drawing on Felos' 2002 autobiography "Litigation as Spiritual Practice," Wiker quotes Felos extensively, showing his motivation for fighting to help the sick engage in euthanasia.

Writes Wiker: "I bought the book ... [In] reading it, I am convinced that he represents an entirely new and even more dangerous aspect of the euthanasia movement - the spiritual killer."

In the book he writes about "speaking through his stomach to Mrs. Browning, a seemingly unresponsive woman in a nursing home. This noiseless communication - quite noisy on a 'spiritual' level, as Felos reports her screaming at the top of her spiritual lungs - convinced him that Mrs. Browning wanted to escape from her body. He happily took on the case, thereby launching his right-to-die career."

Felos is a devotee of yoga. Wiker explains that Felos believes that if a person clings to the earthly realm instead of entering a higher state of blissful consciousness his soul is condemned to re-enter another body after death. Wiker writes: "In many of his visions he "saw our souls -[his and his wife's] prior to this incarnation discus! sing what each needed to learn in this birth and in compassion and love for each other agree to take this journey."

In this "journey" however, their marriage is a disaster. At one point he writes about being angry at his wife: "I was on fire, fueled by thoughts of bludgeoning and tearing her apart. If she were there at that moment I thought I would kill her - happily destroy her."

In that failing marriage, however, he and his wife were thinking about having a child.

Says Felos: He "heard the soul of my yet-to-be conceived child emphatically shout รข€˜I'm ready to be born ... will you stop fooling around?'"

During a plane ride he wondered "what it would be like to die right now." This aroused his Kharmic, cosmic powers and this actually caused the plane's automatic pilot to go haywire and turn the plane into a nosedive. He stops wondering just in time. "'Be careful what you think,'" an inner voice then warns him. 'You are more powerful than you realize.'"

Finally, Wiker reveals this amazing fact: Four hours after Terri died Michael filed a petition for administration of her estate. On Larry King's show he said the money from his lawsuit on behalf of Terri had dried up, leaving only about $25,000.

"As it turns out, that given the behind the scenes financial shenanigans with Felos, there was about $1 million in the account, perhaps $2 million depending on how well investments did since 1993. Felos received a little over $500,000 for his efforts."

The taxpayers paid for Terri's hospice bill through Medicaid, thereby saving Michael's jury-award money.

Secret Liberal Plan Discovered!

teach
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better persons than himself." — John Stuart Mills

Unfortunately, this quote all too well describes what we're seeing and hearing today from the left in America, and in many western cultures today. The collective memory is so selectively short as to the results of inaction when faced with real and demonstrated threats. The morally bankrupt have succeeded in indoctrinating millions of lost travelers into the naive and simplistic pattern of thinking that all we have to do is be nice and it will be sunshine and lollypops for everybody. For these well meaning but lost souls the concept of evil is relevant to ones culture and history and actually, the only real evil is thinking that there is a clear definition.

I found a great example of this pollyanic thinking on a site that magically keeps a running tabulation on the costs of the war in Iraq, and then offers you comparative domestic programs that could have been helped with that money, obviously being wasted on Bushes illegal war. One interesting figure shown on this site said that as we had spent, $180,216,200,496 on the war on terrorism, we could have hired, 3,123,169 new teachers for 1 year. WOW! Think how smart our kids would be in just 1 year! And our military could come home and probably do community service or something useful.

Or I had a better idea. Why don't we bring our military home and then send the 3,123,169 new teachers over to Iraq and Afghanistan to teach the insurgent terrorists about the beauty of western culture and how we should all get along? I think this would work out perfectly. And it would only take 1 year! Just imagine how beautiful it would be. Instead of hearing car bombs the worst sound heard would be the squeak of chalk on the blackboard, and the clickety clack of computer keyboards feverishly composing term papers about the evils of imperialistic nationalism as dictated by the horrible George Bush. I can just imagine the first day of class.

"Hello, excuse me? Terrorists, insurgents? My name is Ms Johnson. Please take off your suicide belts and come into class. Mohamed, will you please stop blowing up that car and put your IED away? You can work on that in your new happy skills class later. My life partner and I just came here from Spain where we were forever joined as wife and wife. And we are very happy to be able to share with you the beauties of western culture and how we should all get along.
Ok, first we're going to learn about personal hygiene and a thing called toilet paper. This can be used instead of your left hand, even in modest cave dwellings. Oh, wait a minute, my life partner just informed me that if we bought all of you toilet paper to take back to your caves, we would be enriching the evil capitalist pigs at Proctor and Gamble and contributing to the destruction of our mother's resources, our friends in the forest. OK, never mind, I guess your hand will have to do."

Yup, that'll work just fine. Hey, maybe that's the plan that John Kerry always said he had, but never told anyone about. Sorry Senator, I didn't mean to blow your surprise!

It's Black and White

After President Bush spoke this evening about the war in Iraq, it couldn't be more clear. Liberals, I guess that would have to include 95% of elected Democrats, Socialists, Communists, Anarchists and college professors and most of Hollywood which are to the left of the first groups, have now painted themselves into a corner from which escape will be unlikely if not impossible. For them to now come out and gather mainstream support, they will have to side with the president to a much greater degree and humbly admit that they were wrong in their anti-war rhetoric. John Kerry once again today, made a complete fool of himself in the NYT by writing what he thought President Bush should say in his address, by simplistically stating the obvious as if it were an epiphany, that "we need a plan to win the peace". Duhh!! It truly makes me shutter to think that this guy was actually the left's idea of a presidential candidate. What an idiot! Another fine example of the wheels coming off of the liberal's wagon was the public lunacy displayed by Teddy "drink 'n' drive" Kennedy. His announcements from committee meetings, belittling Rumsfeld, and on the Senate floor, declaring that Iraq is a "quagmire", would have been hilarious if it wasn't so scary! As stated before in previous posts, Kennedy has no right to be a free man, much less a lifetime Senator. Seriously, what is wrong with Massachusetts?

The left has truly set itself apart from mainstream America. There is no room for misunderstanding now as to which party is best suited to handling serious governmental matters. The President's speech tonight was perfect, and 100% George Bush. He was straight forward, and sincere. And that is why he was re-elected and why he is the right man for the job. He correctly set the tone for the rest of the conflict, which will be years not months, explained why it would be stupid to try to attempt to set a deadline, and made it clear that the only people truly deserving of respect are our military personnel and their families, not a bunch of whiney liberal Senators in Washington.

There is no doubt in my mind as to who the good guys are in this country, and who the subversives are. The left has lost it completely. It has become a contest of good vs. evil. Thanks to the continuous ranting of the looney left, the good guys will continue to win, at least at the ballot box, for years to come, or at least until the next crop of brainwashed morons stumble away from their bongs in their dorm rooms in time to vote. But who knows, maybe when they sober up, they'll realize that they've been tricked and start to see black and white as well. We can only hope.

Hiding in Happiness

I'm a naughty blogger. I have to admit it and face the reality that I just can't physically, mentally or emotionally maintain any consistency in being immersed into those things that irritate me in the world. I think it is healthy, for me anyway, to step back, listen to some good music, look at some beautiful art or nature, hug my wife and kids, eat a good meal and enjoy the many blessings I have in my life. There is a limit on how much liberal insanity I can absorb without shutting down in some way to numb myself from the nasty reality that they inflict. Since I don't drink, take drugs or medicate myself with any other destructive diversion, I just have to shut off the chaos and revel in the experience of being alive and well, and to realize that no matter how evil the Democrats have become, no matter how much their vision of what America should be is wrong and destructive, and no matter how frustrating it is to see how wimpy some of the Republicans are, I can always come home, hug my family, mow my lawn, play a little golf and realize that I have it better than 99% of humanity throughout the ages. Political injustice, lying and tyranny used to be the norm throughout the world. Now it's only common in countries loved by liberals. Hopefully they will continue to openly hate America. If they ever start to embrace it, we know we've lost and America will cease to be the great country it has been. We will have then become another freedom hating, socialist utopia where the state decides what's best for the individual and collectivism and redistribution turns all of us into mindless drones living only to serve the elites. Ah yes, the liberals, gotta love 'em; they are entertaining. But until that happens, I'm going to occasionally bury my head in the sweet sand of happiness and enjoy the life I've been blessed with. The libs will always be there, barking like the dirty jackals that they are, pressing on in their relentless pursuit of the destruction of American tradition and culture. That fight will always be there. Today I'm gonna go play some golf, come home, have a big steak, and hug my wife. Aahhh....that's better.

Censure Durbin!

durbin
Again today my pulse quickened and my breathing became short as I struggled to keep my GIANT SUV from running over the stupid Hybrid in front of me. My sudden incoherence was brought on by hearing Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, run down our military by making an outright comparison of their treatment of captured terrorists in military prisons to the Nazis, the Soviet Gulags and the genocide of Pol Pot. This is a senior Senator in our own Federal Government! Not an extremist Muslim sympathizer, or a morally retarded Frenchman. This is the kind of rhetoric normally reserved for America haters, not U.S. Senators - of any party. But alas, this is what we must expect, and have come to routinely experience from today’s Democrats. They have been pulled so far left by the communists on the extreme left that the party has little in common with the heart and soul of mainstream Americans. Whether it's Howard "I have a scream" Dean, John "what's truth" Kerry, Hillary "the ice queen" Clinton, Robert "KKK" Byrd, or Teddy "drink n drive" Kennedy, they have a consistent message, Democrats are for nothing except the promotion of one world socialism, and hating all things that preserve American traditions, heritage and culture. This hatred is especially focused on the destruction anything conservative, religious and military. Of this new breed of hate filled leftists, apparently Dick Durbin has wandered to the front of the pack.

Specifically, on the floor of the Senate, Durbin said, "If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime--Pol Pot or others--that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners."

My outrage is not only at the insanity of that comparison, but also at the silence of Republicans in the Senate. Where is the fiery retort? Majority leader Bill Frist needs to take the floor tomorrow and publicly call for the censure of Durbin at the very least! We are at war with an unprecedented enemy. One who would incinerate thousands of innocent Americans along with themselves with joy. Our military has been more civil to these sub humans than any military has been to prisoners of war throughout the history of humanity! Give me a break! So what if they sit in a cold cell over night, or a hot cell, or are forced to listen to loud pop music, or a dog barks at them, or even worse, they see women's underwear! OH ALAH!! Get a grip people; these men are terrorists who want to kill us. They deserve a .44 slug, soaked in pig blood, to send them to their buddy, Mohammed. What we give them is far better than what they deserve. Dick Durbin and the democrats should know this but they are so blinded by their hate and rage that reason will continue to elude them, And therefore, so will political victories. So there is a silver lining afterall.

The 9-11 Memorial Heist

0001
I heard about this this week and just about drove off the road! Apparently, The liberal thought police in Manhattan have gotten control of the publicly funded memorial to the victims and horror of 9-11. Debra Burlingame wrote a piece in the WSJ on Tuesday that should be manditory reading for every American. She is the sister of one of the American Airlines pilots of flight 77 that hit the Pentagon. She has been a tireless crusader on behalf of the victims to ensure that a fitting tribute be constructed to memorialize those murdered by the scum in dirty night shirts. In her article The Great Ground Zero Heist, she documents the travesty of how the memorial project has been handed over to a committed leftist named Tom Bernstein. Bernstein has been involved with far left, anti-American activist groups such as the ACLU, and Human Rights First and has been involved with lawsuites against Donald Rumsfeld on behalf of detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is the guy that has been handed the reigns of millions of federal dollars to construct a memorial to something he probably thinks we are responsible for! Under his direction, the memorial will not be a tribute to the cowerdice and brutality of September 11th and the resulting bravery and heroism in it's aftermath, but rather a global retrospective of political incorrectness over the centuries.

In her expose' of this scandal, Burlingame writes, "The public will have come to see 9/11 but will be given a high-tech, multimedia tutorial about man's inhumanity to man, from Native American genocide to the lynchings and cross-burnings of the Jim Crow South, from the Third Reich's Final Solution to the Soviet gulags and beyond. This is a history all should know and learn, but dispensing it over the ashes of Ground Zero is like creating a Museum of Tolerance over the sunken graves of the USS Arizona."

This is one issue that I hope will catch public attention and grow to the point where congress and the President get involved and pull the plug before it's too late. It has been the "turn the other cheek", "blame America first", liberals that have caused much of the atmosphere that made possible an event like 9-11. We don't need a Tax payer funded anti-american lecture by a committed lefty on the site of the worst single act of terrorism on our own soil.

Call your congressman and demand that something be done.

Thank you, Heroes

Sandy 1b
Sandy is a hero of mine. I have had the privilege to get to know Sandy, as he owns the business property in which I have my studio. Other than a successful businessman, he was an integral part of America's victory in the Pacific theater of World War II. At age 19, he was captain of a B-24 Liberator with a crew of 10 other men (boys) flying 13 hour missions over the Pacific ocean bombing military targets in Japan. I say integral, but he, as well as other WW II vets, would say that all who served were integral to our victory and of course, they would be right. It's hard for us who never served in the military, who sit here in the lap of luxury of our 21st century lifestyles to even fathom the effort and sacrifice men and women have gone through to allow us this privilege. I am so in awe of their efforts, and am so humbled and grateful for their service. It saddens me to realize that within the next 10 to 15 years, the WW II generation of heroes that saved the world from disaster 60 years ago, will be gone. They saved us all from fascism and tyranny. The generation after them fought bravely in Korea and Viet Nam and ultimately defeated communist aggression. Now we bravely face another global enemy, that of radical Islamic terrorism. Each of these generations of soldiers have defined and preserved our freedoms and our culture. What frightens me now is that as our military challenges continue, our will to combat them as a society, has steadily grown weaker. Most of this decline has been a result of the increasing cynicism and subversive nature of the mass media in our culture. All you have to do is watch and compare the military movies made in Hollywood from the 40's to the type of films concerning the military today. The former generation of media producers, both print and film, realized that the preservation of our way of life was worth fighting for. They saw the good in our efforts and did what they could to aid our troops and the morale of the country. Unfortunately, the media of today would just as soon blame the country that gives them the right to dissent, as the aggressors and the tyrants who should be defeated. Our education system teaches a revised anti-American history that paints us as the bullies of the world and the aggressors and oppressors of other cultures. I have no doubt that we would never have been able to win World War II if we had the current media in place 60 years ago. Subversive groups like Amnesty International and the ACLU, as well as outlets like the NY Times, Newsweek, CBS, CNN, and 99% of Hollywood would have done their best to undermine the war effort so as to ensure the success of the enemy. After all according to contemporary liberal thought, "who is to say that the US way of life is any better than Hitler's?" And, "Hirohito and Tojo aren't that bad, lets try to sit down and talk with them." Can you imagine what our current crop of political pundits and columnists would say about some of the stuff that went on in WW II? They would probably implode under the weight of their own self-hatred. I'm encouraged that the men and women in our military today continue to show unbelievable strength and courage fighting an invisible fanatic enemy made up of cowards who hide behind children and who target civilians. These men and women continue to fight not only our enemies abroad but do this in spite of the lack of media support. They know and believe in their mission and realize that in spite of the cynics in the media and even in the democratic party of our own government, the mission is worthy of their sacrifice and will be completed. The sacrifices of guys like Sandy and all the others like him will not be in vain. Good must and will triumph. The best of this country is represented in our military. Thank them, they are all heroes.

Toughen up Wimps!

voinovich
George Voinovich, Republican Senator from Ohio, yesterday, cried like a wimpy little toddler who just lost his favorite toy when encouraging other senators from his party to not vote for John Bolton for ambassador to the UN. This was pathetic! Voinovich demonstrated exactly why Bolton should be ambassador to the morally bankrupt UN. We don't need a softy like Voinovich there trying to be everyone’s friend. We need someone with moral clarity and who's not afraid to be truthful and ruffle feathers if need be. The UN is an organization whose time has run out. It is a nice idea, but when you have a political body made up of some of the most corrupt governments in the world, all getting together to gang up on the US, what do you expect? Of course it becomes anti American, anti Semitic and absurdly corrupt. The US should send the toughest SOB we can find in there to knock some heads around, and I'd start with the French, Germans and Russians.

Similarly, words cannot express my utter disappointment in the so-called "moderate" Republicans concerning the rules changing issue to end filibustering judicial nominations. I expect the "I'm better than you", and the "Who's going to feed my ego now?", attitude from John McCain and the R.I.N.O. behavior of Oympia Snow, but not Lindsey Graham. Lord McCain is converting him to the dark side. These 7 Republicrats who found it necessary to sell their party and constituents down the river for a chance to gain some love points with the Imperial Clone Army, are completely fooling themselves. The Demoncrats are going to filibuster anyone Bush nominates for dogcatcher or custodian not to mention the impending Supreme Court nomination. The "Bobby Byrd, Constitutional Option" (no it's not Nuclear) will be played out sooner than later. Republicans must know that the main reason the conservative base was so motivated in the 2004 election cycle was because of the Judges issue. Bush needs to stand firm on his judges and put forward the kind of judges we expected from him. Not some Voinavich, McCain, "We are the World" Constitution benders that the wacko left wants. So dry your eyes Senator, You'll need them to see the want ads after you've been voted out of office next time. And take your moderate friends with you. They're not needed here anymore.

Thank You Howie!

Howard Dean
Demoncrat chairman, Howard Dean on Tim Russert’s Sunday Morning show, Meet the "DePressed", demonstrated again why Republicans will continue to dominate the political landscape for years to come. This guy actually thinks his ideology is mainstream and is what the country needs! I'm sure there are a few nuts out there that think Dean is right, but come on; do rank and file democrats really think this guy is the answer? Personally, if I were a conspiracy leaning crazy, I would say that Dean is a cleverly placed Republican plant sent to take the Democrats to a place they can never recover from. In a speech done last month at a fundraiser here in Minnesota, Dean mocked and made fun of Rush Limbaugh's addiction to pain killers. Appropriately, Dean took some heat for that. Sunday, Dean defended his "joke" by saying basically that Limbaugh had it coming and deserved to be ridiculed. Nice attitude for a doctor. Thank God he's no longer in practice. He also defended his statement that he hates Republicans! However, when pressed, he did back off a bit saying that he didn't necessarily hate them personally, just everything they stand for. Nice guy. It was also comical to hear Dean continue to claim his "deeply religious" values as being important in his life. Here's a little hint for Dr. Dean, when telling us about how important your faith is to you, you might want to keep that in mind before you preach hate and anger toward others who happen to think differently than you. The majority of us out here can see through guys like Dean, Kerry, and the Clintons in a second. Christian values are demonstrated not talked about. There is no doubt in my mind that Dean is the answer to Republican prayers. The more he talks, the more conservatives win. The country is not ready, nor will it ever be hopefully, for Dean style fascism and hate. Way to go "Deanocrats"! Good choice. America thanks you.

Ann Coulter Gets it!

'NEWSWEEK DISSEMBLED, MUSLIMS DISMEMBERED!' - Yahoo! News
This is a great article by my blonde hero, Ann Coulter. One of the reasons I think she's great is that, other than that she's intelligent, articulate and an excellent writer, the lefties hate her. They can't stand that she has an answer - the right answer- for the plethora of lies they continue to throw out there on a daily basis. In this article she methodically takes apart News"weak", and the obvious bias they continue to display throughout their reporting practices, such as why would they sit on a confirmed and corroborated story of the former sitting President of the United States sexually using an intern, his daughters age, in the Whitehouse, but yet run with an alleged Koran flushing story, uncorroborated, with one unnamed source and that knowingly damages America in the eyes of the world and works against everything we are doing in the middle east? Duhh, could it be that they might have an agenda?, hate the current President?, despise the military?, disagree with the war? Yeah, Ann Coulter gets it, I get it, and the majority of the American people get it. That’s why we're fighting for the survival of our country against the liberal media. Thanks to talk radio and the Internet, the hate America press no longer gets a free pass.
We get it.

Too Much "Freedom"

capt.sge.ppz73.150505193830.photo00.photo.default-380x264
Newsweek admitted today that it had basically made up a story about a Koran being desecrated in Guantanamo in front of prisoners as a means to inspire cooperation from them. The problem with this nice little piece of journalism is that it is solely responsible for mass riots in several countries resulting in the deaths of 16 people and injuries to more than 100. The story allegedly came from 1 unnamed "government" source and Newsweek rushed it out with another "gotcha" gleam in their collective eyes. I'm sure there were visions of Pulitzers dancing in their heads. Only one problem for Newsweek, it never happened! As Americans I think we all realize that a free press is an essential element to maintaining governmental discipline and serves as a voice for the people However, the mainstream media of today too often go way past that ideal and abuse this freedom to advance an ideology that is not pro American nor helpful to our own interests. This recent episode by Newsweek further demonstrates that the American "MSM" is more interested in sensationalizing stories, even if that means to embellish or fictionalize them, in an effort to advance its corporate stock price than just by telling the truth and promoting American interests. I think the MSM is made up of liberals who have swallowed the moral relativism BS promoted in journalism schools and want to think of themselves as having a world first attitude rather than, America first. Let's face it, if this generation of "Blame America first" journalists were around for World War II we would never have won and we would either not be here or we'd be speaking German! Obviously the answer is not to have any agency or group sensor news organizations, but rather for the rest of us to simply not buy their crap - either on the newsstands or on the TV, just shut them off. I think the friends and families of those injured and killed in the riots caused by Newsweek's fine journalism might agree.
