MSM & Democrats Continue To Lie About American Views About Iraq

The Democrats have these numbers in their own in-house polls which means they're lying or it means they're dumber than a box of rocks. I go for both.

• By a 53 percent - 46 percent margin, respondents surveyed said that
  Democrats are going too far, too fast in pressing the President to withdraw
  troops from Iraq.
  
  By identical 57 percent - 41 percent margins, voters agreed with these
  statements: I support finishing the job in Iraq, that is, keeping the troops
  there until the Iraqi government can maintain control and provide security
  and the Iraqi war is a key part of the global war on terrorism.
  
  Also, by a 56 percent - 43 percent margin, voters agreed that even if
  they have concerns about his war policies, Americans should stand behind the
  President in Iraq because we are at war.
  
  While the survey shows voters believe (60 percent- 34 percent) that Iraq
  will never become a stable democracy, they still disagree that victory in
  Iraq (creating a young, but stable democracy and reducing the threat of
  terrorism at home) is no longer possible. Fifty-three percent say it's still
  possible, while 43 percent disagree.
  
  By a wide 74 percent - 25 percent margin, voters disagree with the notion
  that "I don't really care what happens in Iraq after the U.S. leaves, I just
  want the troops brought home."
  
  Public Opinion Strategies "scored the best win-loss record among the major
  polling and media firms in the 2004 election" and was named Pollster of the
  Year in 2002.

Video: Moment 21/7 'bomber' fled in a burka
Last updated at 14:25pm on 20th February 2007

This is the moment one of the 21/7 suspects fled London dressed as a woman in a burka.

A jury was today shown CCTV footage of 26-year-old Yassin Omar covered from head to toe - with a handbag draped over his left arm.

At 6ft 2in, Omar stood out in the crowded street as he was filmed
walking along the pavement towards Golders Green Bus station. Commuters can be seen turning round to watch him as he passes.

It was 22 July, 2005, the day after he and five others are accused
of trying to cause carnage with rucksack bombs on London's transport system two weeks after the 7/7 attacks. A series of different cameras followed his
movements across a busy road and into the station to catch a National Express
coach to Birmingham at 6.21pm.

Today the trial judge at Woolwich crown court, Mr Justice Fulford,
asked Omar's barrister Peter Carter: "Is it accepted it is your client?' Mr
Carter replied: "Yes."

But does he wax or shave?

Some mull idea of Sen. Bill Clinton

Does Bill like the idea of a twofer? Maybe he'd like to pledge the Kennedy/Dodd waitress sandwich fraternity.

They can get all the female senate pages to wear blue dresses on a designated date as a sign of wishing to kneel at the alter of legislative love.

Lucky New York.

Lucky us.

MSM & Democrats Lie About American Views About Iraq

Read these polls from 2006 and 2007 and try to match the numbers to the rhetoric of Pelosi, Murtha, Levin, et. al. and the MSM.

Those that would bleed support for our troops, guarantee the slaughter of now free Iraqis and Afghans and doom the Middle East to Islamofacism state that in November of 2006 America voted for an end to the war in Iraq as part of the greater War on Terror. They say America is tired and wants to show the love by bringing our troops home. The war is lost. It is another Vietnam. In short, the Democrats are saving America.

I call bullshit.

My wife and I hear Liberals that watch the evening news and read AP stories actually state that President George W. Bush is nuts because he hasn't heard the "people" nor can he win in Iraq.

President Bush does not live by polls as do wobbly kneed Copperhead Democrats. He leads through thick and thin toward a goal he believes to be right. He also has a better grasp of what America thinks.

Is Iraq like Vietnam? In terms of Democrats, yes, because they are using the same lies now that they used during, after and since the end of the Vietnam War. Just as they have used lies of defeat in other wars. The Democratic Party has become a party of natural born losers.

Oh, and we are winning in Iraq.

Ted Strickland doesn't like legal immigrants

nor does he like President Bush, but he does seem warm to illegal immigrants.

From our new Governor Ted strickens:

''I think Ohio and Ohioans have contributed a lot to Iraq in terms of blood,
sweat and too many tears. I am sympathetic to the plight of the innocent Iraqi
people who have fled that country. However, I would not want to ask Ohioans to
accept a greater burden than they already have borne for the Bush
administration's failed policies.''

I found this at The Keeler Report. A great site.

"The pain inflicted by your country's indifference is tenfold that inflicted by your ruthless captors."

Sam Johnson, former POW:

"The pain inflicted by your country's indifference is tenfold that inflicted by your ruthless captors."

Today U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson (3rd Dist.-Texas) delivered the following closing statement on the floor of the House during the 36-hour debate on Iraq.

A 29-year Air Force veteran, Johnson served in both the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Johnson spent nearly seven years as a Prisoner of War, more than half of that time in solitary confinement. Coincidentally, this week in 1973 as one of the longest held captives, Johnson finally left Hanoi on February 12, 1973 and returned home to Texas on February 17, 1973.

Earlier this week on Monday, Johnson spent the anniversary of his release pleading with a House panel to accept his amendment to support and fully fund the troops for the 36 hours of debate on the troop escalation in Iraq.

Johnson's floor statement follows:

"You know, I flew 62 combat missions in the Korean War and 25 missions in the
Vietnam War before being shot down.

"I had the privilege of serving in the United States Air Force for 29 years, attending the prestigious National War College, and commanding two air bases, among other
things.

"I mention these stories because I view the debate on the floor not just as a U.S. Congressman elected to serve the good people of the Third District in Texas, but also through the lens of a life-long fighter pilot, student of war, a combat warrior, a leader of men, and a Prisoner of War.

"Ironically, this week marks the anniversary that I started a new life -
and my freedom from prison in Hanoi.

"I spent nearly seven years as a Prisoner of War in Vietnam, more than half of that time in solitary confinement. I flew out of Hanoi on February 12, 1973 with other long-held Prisoners of War - weighing just 140 pounds. And tomorrow - 34 years ago, I had my homecoming to Texas - a truly unspeakable blessing of
freedom.

"While in solitary confinement, my captors kept me in leg stocks, like the pilgrims... for 72 days...."As you can imagine, they had to carry me out of the stocks because I couldn't walk. The following day, they put me in leg irons... for 2 ½ years. That's when you have a tight metal cuff around each ankle - with a foot-long bar connecting the legs.

"I still have little feeling in my right arm and my right hand... and my body has
never been the same since my nearly 2,500 days of captivity.

"But I will never let my physical wounds hold me back.

"Instead, I try to see the silver lining. I say that because in some way ... I'm living a
dream...a hope I had for the future. "From April 16, 1966 to February 12, 1973 -
I prayed that I would return home to the loving embrace of my wife, Shirley, and
my three kids, Bob, Gini, and Beverly...

"And my fellow POWs and I clung to the hope of when - not if - we returned home.
"We would spend hours tapping on the adjoining cement walls about what we would do when we got home to America.

"We pledged to quit griping about the way the government was running the war in Vietnam and do something about it... We decided that we would run for office and try to make America a better place for all.

"So - little did I know back in my rat-infested 3 x 8 dark and filthy cell that 34 years after my departure from Hell on Earth... I would spend the anniversary of my release pleading for a House panel to back my measure to support and fully fund the troops in harm's way....and that just days later I would be on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives surrounded by distinguished veterans urging Congress to support our troops to the hilt.

"We POWs were still in Vietnam when Washington cut the funding for
Vietnam. I know what it does to morale and mission success. Words
can not fully describe the horrendous damage of the anti-American efforts
against the war back home to the guys on the ground.

"Our captors would blare nasty recordings over the loud speaker of Americans protesting back home...tales of Americans spitting on Vietnam veterans when they came home... and worse.

"We must never, ever let that happen again.

"The pain inflicted by your country's indifference is tenfold that inflicted by your ruthless captors.

"Our troops - and their families - want, need and deserve the full support of the country - and the Congress. Moms and dads watching the news need to know that the Congress will not leave their sons and daughters in harm's way without
support.

"Since the President announced his new plan for Iraq last month,
there has been steady progress. He changed the rules of engagement and
removed political protections.

"There are reports we wounded the number two of Al Qaeda and killed his deputy. Yes, Al Qaeda operates in Iraq. It's alleged that top radical jihadist Al-Sadr has fled Iraq - maybe to Iran. And Iraq's closed its borders with Iran and Syria. The
President changed course and offered a new plan ...we are making progress.
We must seize the opportunity to move forward, not stifle future success.

"Debating non-binding resolutions aimed at earning
political points only destroys morale, stymies success, and emboldens the
enemy.

"The grim reality is that this House measure is the first step to cutting funding of the troops...Just ask John Murtha about his 'slow-bleed' plan that hamstrings our troops in harm's way.

"Now it's time to stand up for my friends who did not make it home - and those who
fought and died in Iraq - so I can keep my promise that when we got home we
would quit griping about the war and do something positive about it...and we
must not allow this Congress to leave these troops like the Congress left
us.

"Today, let my body serve as a brutal reminder that we must not
repeat the mistakes of the past... instead learn from them.

"We must not cut funding for our troops. We must stick by them. We must
support them all the way...To our troops we must remain...always
faithful.

"God bless you and I salute you all. Thank you."

Victory Republicans VS Vietnam losers

I have been watching the news closely and I have not seen this on the MSM. Gee, I wonder why...

In the House debate, it was the calculation of Speaker Pelosi and her
leadership to keep the focus on the poll-proven unpopularity of the Iraq war and
the 21st century's most famous bogeyman, "George Bush." The GOP calculation was
to move the debate off Iraq and onto the broader war on terror.

Politics aside, the result on public view was a Democratic side that
looked small, mired in talk of American "failure," while a number of senior
Republicans--John Boehner, Pete Hoekstra, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, even Peter
King--produced almost stirring speeches on the substance and meaning of the
global threat.

Pete Hoekstra, recently chairman of the intelligence committee, gave
what must be the severest attack on radical Islam ever by a U.S. public figure.
Forget Pope Benedict; there was nary a genuflection to Muslim sensibilities in
Mr. Hoekstra's argument that the enemy is not some vague thing called terrorism:
"We are not at war with a tactic. We are at war with a group of militant
Islamists who hate us and who hate much of the rest of the world."

John Boehner reviewed each Islamic terrorist act directed at the U.S.
dating to the Iran hostage-taking of 1979. "Too bad it took so long to open our
eyes," he said, "but they are open now." Ileana Ros-Lehtinen quoted the famous
blueprint of al Qaeda No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahiri: "The first stage: expel the
Americans from Iraq." Rep. Charles Boustany said plausibly that other Arab
nations could never help with a political settlement if the region is engulfed
in violence after a U.S. exit.

So one may ask: Where were you guys when we needed you? Republicans
lost the election because most of them foxholed the past two years when the
going got tough. Instead of this Kissingerian geopolitical vision, they let one
guy carry the burden (they would reply that the "one guy" never asked for their
help).

Sens. Clinton and Obama should take a long look at Tuesday's videotape
of the Democratic House now shaping the party's foreign policy. Is this where
they'll want to be next year?

Even allowing for the politics of the Iraq-only script, it got a little
weird watching speaker after speaker (excepting freshman and former Navy admiral
Joe Sestak) pretend that the world and all its troubles can be telescoped down
to the Sunni Triangle. Rep. Tom Lantos, chairman of the foreign affairs
committee and nominally responsible for a larger view, simply wrote off Iraq's
government--"They have made minimal and cosmetic efforts"--and the entire Iraqi
people: "Iraqis themselves don't seem to want it."

The more difficult political problem, though, is still Vietnam. All the
while the Democratic members were withdrawing support for the U.S. commitment in
Iraq, they were at pains to inoculate themselves against their toxic experience
with Vietnam. So horrifying are the famous images in the 1970s of what
presumably were not evangelicals spitting on GIs coming home from Vietnam, that
House Democrats, with every second intake of breath, spoke of the troops and
their families ("their wonderful families"--Rep. Ike Skelton). History may view
this as progress.

Then there is the matter of the also-famous 1975 decision to withhold
appropriations for the war in Vietnam. Democrats insist they won't pull the plug
on the troops in Iraq, preferring what they call, with no apparent irony, a
"fully funded withdrawal." Still, several invoked the "power of the purse"
(Messrs. Conyers and McGovern), referring to next month's vote on an
appropriations supplemental. And Rep. Jim McDermott said he'd duplicate the 1971
Hatfield-McGovern amendment to bring the troops home.

Republicans who side with the Liberals on this should be ashamed of themselves. Especially so in that these republicans know what the Liberals are really up to. It ain't looking out for our troops nor our National security.

Winter

2008

One sunny day in 2008, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton."

The Marine replied, "Sir, Mrs. Clinton is not President and doesn't reside here."

The old man said, "Okay," and walked away.

The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton."

The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mrs. Clinton is not President and doesn't reside here." The man thanked him and again walked away.

The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same Marine, saying, "I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton."

The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mrs. Clinton. I've told you already several times that Mrs. Clinton is not the President and doesn't reside here. Don't you understand?"

The old man answered, "Oh, I understand you fine, I just love hearing your answer!"

The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow."

Anti-war left wing deception

Thus it continues.

The left wing is doing their job well in that they are raising money to buy Congressional votes, the leftist leaders in Congress are serving as the salesmen for defeat while planning a marketing drive to hoodwink the voter into buying defeat as a success. The media, acting as their communications department, is pounding out a litany of lies and distortions that spell disaster for continuing the fight against evil.

Of course the left must act now, because a free Iraq is growing stronger each day. The Islamofascists are growing weaker each day. If the left does not get the US out of the fight it might become apparent that we are making strong gains to ensure the future of freedom by lessening evil. That would not fit their agenda.

So they lie.

House Democrats' New Strategy: Force Slow End to War

Top House Democrats, working in concert with anti-war groups, have decided
against using congressional power to force a quick end to U.S. involvement in
Iraq, and instead will pursue a slow-bleed strategy designed to gradually limit
the administration's options.

The left wants power. With power the left will enact their vision of a progressive government in the U.S. and force their un-real vision of (international)government on the people. In short, the left will bring what they believe to be the WalMart of governments to its knees.

To attain this power to enact their agenda, the left will allow now free Iraqis to be slaughtered.

To get the power to enact their agenda, the left is willing to render the sacrifice of our troop worthless.

For this political power the left will bet that America can withstand the shame, worldwide turmoil and the empowerment of the murderous Islamofascists. All because they hate George Bush.

Republicans and moderate Democrats that join in this tawdry yet dangerous agenda should be ashamed. Then they should be voted out of office.

Loyola Instructor: US Military = Terrorist Mercenaries

I was reading LGF about June Terpstra who seemed to be a very hateful person. With just a few minutes of looking I found that she is indeed a hateful person and a very dedicated one at that.

Just like Prof Teh Frisch, Dr. Terpstra is Adjunct Faculty and a full time hater, especially hateful of not just our soldiers, but of God, family, our Republican form of government, society in general and most especially she hates individuals who make a lot of money.

Dr. Terpstra wants to be perceived as dangerous, but to me she appears to be just another bitcher and whiner trying to recapture the excitement of her youth. That is sad. Just another "expert" who lives in a bubble and see nothing but discord in her "world", oh and a conspiracy of evil people who control the world from behind magic walls that prevent them from being seen except by sharp marbles like Dr. Terpstra.

Given her current band of merry haters I would think she has next to her Qua ran, the Communist Manifesto and aNarchiSts R uS, a copy of "THE PROTOCOLS of the Meetings of the LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION." Because it isn't the Joooos land, it belongs to Muslims and it always has, so we could all just get along if we only realize this.

Below I have cited a few of her "thoughts". How does a person such as this obtain a position to influence students at "good" universities such as Columbia and Loyola? Maybe they are in those positions specifically to pedal their influence.

However, for the most part and by their own admission, personal financial
gain was their main focus in signing on. Their bottom line was getting the money
and their thrills by joining and belonging to the biggest terrorist organization
in the world, the USA.

The selfish, greedy, all-consuming piggishness of the American way of
life that kills and enslaves, kills and enslaves year after year is not “the way
things have to be” nor the way it always was, nor the way of the future. Part of
the brain washing program of “mother culture” in the USA is to teach people that
this is just the way it is and “you can’t change it.”

They are striking back with blows that say “see how it if feels?” They reject your venomous version of democracy and freedom. They do not want their societies to be greed-based. They do not want mind-numbing sexually obsessed booty calls as the leitmotif of their culture. They do not want addictive genetically-modified foods to poison their people. They do not want to be sold into pharmaceutical slavery with Prozac so that they can become free to be you and me. They do not want progressive politics that progresses towards the extinction of people and planet. They do not want religions that justify invasion and occupation. They do not want whole populations of greedophile pod-people moved into their countries under the guise of “Jewish right of return” or “aid” or reconstruction or redevelopment. They have seen it all before---it’s called genocide, slavery and colonization.

For example, they killed over three million in their war on Vietnam, (1964-1975). US led activities in Central America produced at least another one million deaths (1971-1990). Closer to home, the bald eagle has a history of holocausting Black and Red people. Whites and Christians may also be dispensed with if massah so decrees it. The Christian Branch Dividian Group can testify to their readiness to use terrorism on "their own people." Mass murder and the removal of resisting undesirables are the principle means for attaining uncontested hegemony.

In fact, from the looks of things here in Arizona the fascisti have done their inflitrating so well they probably are not even needed anymore. Folks just follow the PC script for staying divided while keeping real anti-capitalist anti-imperialist
resistance from ever having a chance to show its lovely, lively presence. This
has been the hegemonic game plan that has worked so well in the USA "movements" since the 1960's and maybe even the 1930's. This is not to say it has not been at work in Europe. After WWII there was a concentrated effort by the new SS (CIA) in the USA to infiltrate and defeat the commies and socialists in Italy. But at least, some cities in the USA, like Chi-Town are putting up a fight and
back in Italy this fine old tradition of manifesting in the streets will never
die, no matter how pissed off folks are with each other because the people still
have a bit of resistance in em. Come on Phoenix, you can do better than this!

Democrats afraid of Iraq debate

Practically everyone agrees that the Iraq War is the top issue on America’s
agenda. So, it’s unfortunate that Democrats running the House have decided
to block full, robust debates on the conflict.

Although much of the media blamed the Republican minority for blocking a
Senate debate last week, the Democratic leadership that refused to allow GOP
Senators a vote on their preferred war resolution holds a major share of the
responsibility for inaction.

The move caused Republicans to make use of long-established Senate rules to
filibuster and end debate — for now, but Democrats clearly acted out of concern
that the GOP measure would pass and muddy the waters for their preferred
resolution disapproving of President Bush’s troop escalation.

In the House, Democratic leaders have violated their oft-stated promise
— made when they were in the minority — to allow open rules and full debate on
legislation if they took control of the chamber. After first indicating last
week that Republicans could offer an alternative war resolution, Democrats
changed their minds and pushed through a closed rule allowing Republicans only
to offer a motion to recommit the Democratic measure to the International
Relations Committee.

House Democrats contend that closed rules were the norm when
Republicans held sway over the chamber, and that’s certainly true. But Democrats
loudly protested the custom and swore it would go away when they took power. But
no sooner was Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) sworn in as Speaker than the
Democrats commenced their “100 hour” opening legislative blitz under closed
rules. They’re doing it again on the Iraq issue.

The Dragon Lady always smiles when she is screwing the voters.

"The one thing I would note is that George Bush's own intelligence agencies have
indicated that the threat of terrorism has increased as a consequence of our
actions in Iraq. So Mr. Howard may have quibbles with our intelligence
estimates; maybe he has better ones. I would also note that we
have close to 140,000 troops on the ground now, and I understand that Mr. Howard has deployed 1,400. So if he's ginned up to fight the good fight in
Iraq, I would suggest that he call up another 20,000 Australians.
Otherwise, it's just a bunch of empty rhetoric."

Obama is an empty shirt.

Peaceful Majority

This was sent to me via e-mail

The Peaceful Majority
by William Haynes

I used to know a man whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War Two. They owned a number of large industries and estates. I asked him how many German people were true Nazis, and the answer he gave has stuck with me and guided my attitude toward fanaticism ever since.

"Very few people were true Nazis "he said," but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories."

We are told again and again by "experts" and "talking heads" that Islam is the religion of peace, and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace.

Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam. The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history.

It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. The hard quantifiable fact is that the "peaceful majority" is the "silent majority" and it is cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia comprised Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War 2 was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet. And, who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were "peace loving"?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points:

Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awake one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.

As for us who watch it all unfold; we must pay attention to the only group that counts; the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

Lastly, I wish to add: I sincerely think that anyone who rejects this as just another political rant, or doubts the seriousness of this issue or just deletes it without paying heed to it, or sending it on, is part of the problem. Lets quit laughing at and forwarding the jokes and cartoons which denigrate and ridicule our leaders in this war against terror. They are trying to protect the interests and well being of the world and it's citizens. Best we support them.

Ahmadinejad siad in a speech:

Our youth have reached to the peak of technology in the medical field. They
have discovered the stem cells. Do you know what a stem cells is? It is the
fundamental cell of any person’s body. If you find it, you can use it build all
the organs of that person. You build his eye. You build his heart. You build the
liver. You build the kidney. You install them and it will work exactly like it
did before [in that person’s body].

The enemy wants to tell us we can’t. We should shout, youth! the
Iranian nation! we can! A teacher called me a short while ago. [she said] “There
is a girl in our school. She is 16 years old and she is in the third grade in
the high school. She tells us that she has invented nuclear energy at home.” I
told her to conduct a meeting at school and to research into it and know how
much serious this is. They did that and replied that it seems to be quite
serious. So, I called the head of the nuclear energy institute and told him… to
support her if her claim was true. So, they invited our nuclear scientists,
whose average age is less than 25 years. They had a meeting and talked to her.
They realized that she is telling the truth…So, they went to her house and found
out that she had bought some equipment from the market, with the help of her
brother, and in fact has produced nuclear energy. She is now there [in the
nuclear facilities] and she is a nuclear scientist. She has a driver and a
bodyguard now. This is self-confidence.

Jews equal bad weather cycles

Ellen Goodman, who I thought must have retired, came back into my life with this article just to prove she hasn't gotten any smarter than when I had to read her for my work in DC. That was back when the earth was still cooling.

Ms. Goodman has never really been heavy on logic and smarts, but she has always towed the party line. In short, a good apparatchik.

I would like to say we're at a point where global warming is
impossible to deny. Let's just say that global warming deniers are now on a
par with Holocaust deniers, though one denies the past and the other denies
the present and future.

I find this completely odious on its face value, but more so in that Ms. Goodman cheapens the lives lost in the Holocaust by comparing their history to a pseudo science, invented to make a profit and win elections through fear, in an attempt give her vacuous thoughts depth and gravity.

Shame on you Ms. Goodman.

Shame.

Murtha, the ham fisted thug from Pennsylvania, continues his duty to his dominatrix by lashing out at her critics with threats allowing her highness to remain aloof. Of course not as aloof as a nice big jet would make her, but things gonna change once he has himself a hearing.

Appropriations subcommittee on Defense Chairman John Murtha (D-Pa.), who lobbied the Pentagon for a larger plane, announced that he planned to hold hearings on the use of military aircraft for executive branch and Congressional travel over the past two fiscal years. Murtha predicted that despite the flap, Pelosi would end up with a plane capable of making the coast-to-coast trip.

“I would predict she would” get a larger plane, he said Thursday. “I’m seldom wrong on these kinds of things.”

Watch out you Republicans and you toy soldiers over at the Pentagon, Jack "the Bad Mother" Murtha is talking at you!

Let's face it, Global Warming is just not working out, at least not as a program.

If, as some conspire to say, the government is in charge of global warming then we should plan on buying heavy sweaters, because if the government would be put in charge of the Gobi Desert, there'd be a sand shortage inside 3 months.

Subject:
Becoming Illegal (From an Arizona resident to his senator)
Date:
Tue, 6 Feb 2007 4:49 AM

Dear Senator McCain,

As a native Arizona resident and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I have contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine the process for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you.

My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S. Citizen to illegal alien stems from the bill which was recently passed by the Senate and for which you voted. If my understanding of this bill's provisions is accurate, as an illegal alien who has been in the United States for five years, all I need to do to become a citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of the last five years.

I know a good deal when I see one and I am anxious to get the process started before everyone figures it out. Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay taxes every year so I'm excited about the prospect of avoiding two years of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an excellent result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes in 2004 and 2005.

Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using the local emergency room as my primary health care provider. Once I have stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant figures I could save almost $10,000 a year.

Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter would receive preferential treatment relative to her law school applications, as well as "in-state" tuition rates for many colleges throughout the United States for my son.

Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the burden of renewing my driver's license and making those burdensome car insurance premiums. This is very important to me given that I still have college-age children driving my car. If you would provide me with an outline of the process to become illegal (retroactively, if possible) and copies of the necessary forms, I would be most appreciative.

Thank you for your assistance.

AP continues to purposely lie to its readers

DAVID ESPO
By AP Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON (AP) --
The Democratic-controlled House will vote next week on a nonbinding measure
opposing President Bush's decision to dispatch additional troops to Iraq,
officials said Tuesday, hastening a postelection clash between Congress and
commander in chief.

The precise nature of the measure remains to be determined, the
officials said, although Brendan Daly, a spokeswoman for Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
said, it will be "our opposition to the surge" in troops.
….

Under House rules, Democratic leaders have the authority to advance a
measure to the floor for three days of debate and a vote.

That stands in contrast to the Senate, where Republicans have so far
blocked an attempt by Democrats to hold a full-fledged debate on a war that has claimed the lives of more than 3,000 U.S. troops.

WRONG!

The Senate Republicans are opposing cloture. By opposing cloture the Republicans are trying to keep the debate open. The Senate Democrats do not want to debate this resolution or the other related resolutions. If debate is allowed, voters would find out what the Democrats are really thinking and planning.

What are they planning? Cutting and running. Killing freedom in the Arab world. Stabbing our troops in the back. Redeployment of our troops because then the terrorist violence will immediately stop and everybody will then "just get along".

The Democrats are cowards in debate and conniving in their "support" of our troops.

The AP is their willing enabler.

Sniper One is working on this as well.

A rendezvous with destiny

You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, "There is a price we will
not pay." There is a point beyond which they must not advance! This is the
meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater's "peace through strength!" Winston
Churchill said that "the destiny of man is not measured by material computation.
When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits - not
animals." And he said, "There is something going on in time and space, and
beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty." You and I
have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last
best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a
thousand years of darkness.

Old joke

I bought a new Lexus 350 and returned to the dealer the next day complaining that I couldn't figure out how the radio worked. The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated.

"Watch this!", he said, "Nelson"! The Radio replied, "Ricky or Willie?"

"Willie!", He continued and "On The Road Again" came from the speakers.

Then he said, "Ray Charles!", and in an instant " Georgia On My Mind" replaced Willie Nelson.

I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I'd say, "Beethoven," I'd get beautiful classical music, and if I said, "Beatles," I'd get one of their awesome songs.

Yesterday, a couple ran a red light and nearly creamed my new car, but I swerved in time to avoid them. I yelled, "Ass Holes!"

Immediately the French National Anthem began to play, sung by Jane Fonda and Barbara Streisand, backed up by Michael Moore and The Dixie Chicks, with John Kerry on guitar, Al Gore on drums, Dan Rather on harmonica, Nancy Pelosi on tambourine, Harry Reid on spoons, Bill Clinton on sax and Ted Kennedy on scotch...

Damn, I LOVE this car!..

kOskiDDies to troops - "Screw'em"

kOskiDDies get petulant when citizens and soldiers say something they don't like.

This, of course, is a point I have brought up many times and the Milblogs when crazy then. You, the military, are the servants of the people. That is what you signed up for. We send you to war and we bring you home. We tell you when to wake up and when to go to bed. If you do not like that, GET OUT. But, that is the life you chose.

The next thing the milblog right wingers were upset about was when
Arkin called our Military a mercenary force. Well, guess what, it is!! To get
people to fight this war we have had to add all sorts of additional benefits,
bonuses, insurance etc. The only way to get people to go was to pay them a lot
more - the definition of a mercenary. Also, if you count the 100,000 or so
"contractors" over there, that is even more evidence of a mercenary force. I called it at this post last year.

If the military is going to "take on" the American public by saying we have no right to change how we want to deploy them then they have joined the fight. I have said all along, and in the book, The New American Militarism: How Americans Are Seduced by War the idea that the American military has lost contact with the United States Citizens has been proven. They have. Arkin called it right!

I sure hope they don't hold their breath until we apologize. Of course, then they'll really be blue.

ROEs in Iraq designed by idiots

Or
Making sure Iraq is like Vietnam

The current ROEs for Baghdad -- including Sadr City, home of the Mahdi Army
-- have seven incremental steps that must be satisfied before our troops can
take the gloves off and engage the enemy with appropriate violence of
action.

(1) You must feel a direct threat to you or your team.
(2) You must clearly see a threat.
(3) That threat must be identified.
(4) The team leader must concur that there is an identified threat.
(5) The team leader must feel that the situation is one of life or death.
(6) There must be minimal or no collateral risk.
(7) Only then can the team leader clear the engagement.

This ties the hands of our troops, ensuring deaths, and just like a withdrawal timeline, gives the murders fighting against us the upper hand.

I hope the people responsible for these ROEs are made to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not with troops already there, but as a new unit made up of only those that thought up, okayed and foisted this upon our troops. No need to endanger smart troops with this group of PC morons.

Which songs would you pick for these candidates?

Feb 2, 5:53 PM (ET)By NEDRA PICKLER
WASHINGTON (AP) - Everyone needs a
soundtrack – even politicians.

The presidential candidates who addressed the Democratic National
Committee's winter meeting Friday got to choose their tunes, and it was an
eclectic mix that reflected personal favorites and not-so-subtle messages.

Some candidates requested two songs, one that blared as they approached
the stage and another that played as they left the podium.

The selections:
_John Edwards: "This Is Our Country" by John Mellencamp.
_Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut: "Get Ready (Cause Here I Come)"
by the Temptations and "Reach Out," also by the Temptations.
_Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York: "Right Here, Right Now," by Jesus Jones and "Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" by Bachman-Turner Overdrive.
_Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio: "America the Beautiful"

Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois decided against using any music in keeping with the somber tone he sought to convey.

Wesley Clark, who hasn't indicated whether he will run, entered to Johnny Cash's "I
Won't Back Down."

Clinton picking a BTO song is almost as ludricous as Dennis the Menace picking "America the Beautiful". Know any gravitas songs for the Obama kid?

Choices?

On the Wolf Blitzer program with Howard Dean, Chairman of the democrat party:

"The resolution is not watered down," Dean asserted. "They changed a few
words: I think this is a very smart move on the part of Harry reid. If we
can get significant numbers of Republicans to repudiate the Republican
president's policy, which is about to --about what's about to happen, then I
think that's very, very positive."

William M. Arkin - Political gEnius

Arkin wrote a follow up speech article to his 1960's paper recent article in the Washington Post.

It was atricious.

It was, well, BC put it best:

I would say that Mr. Arkin is an embarassment to both the journalistic
profession and the Washington Post, but that's not true: he's an exemplar of

Posted by: BC February 1, 2007 06:11 PM

I don't know who you are BC, but I applaud you.

The beginning of retreat

This is the message that republicans such as Warner, Hagel, Smith, Snowe and Collins are supporting. They will disagree, but without their support the Democrats would be unable to mount such a successful drive which is only just to embarrass the President for political gain.

The efforts being mounted are to eventually destroy our mission in the War on Terror and pull us out of Iraq in defeat and disgrace. I addressed the consequences here. To make this effort successful the Democrats have to employ the same methodology used by those opposed to the Vietnam War; disinformation, lies, the media and useful idiots in the Republican party. Now, the anti-freedom movement even get to pony up Vietnam veterans such as Murtha and Hagel to give their "thoughts" more gravitas.

So now, the Democrats "support the troops". Next it will be "support the troops" best by bringing them home by defunding the war.

That it will doom not just those Iraqis that have supported freedom, but also the rest of the population is of no concern. Quite frankly this is what I have come to expect from the modern Democrat Party. I am disgusted that any Republican would.

Read what these republicans are abetting:

One non-binding measure that appears to be gaining traction is sponsored by a
Republican, John Warner of Virginia, and asserts that while Congress "disagrees
with the 'plan' to augment" U.S. troops, legislators should not cut off or
reduce funding for the military presence in Iraq.

"Two years ago, it seemed pretty lonely. Now every politician wants to be seen on television saying something bad about President Bush's handling of the war," Dr. Rusti Eisenstadt, an activist and professor of U.S. history at Hofstra University, told IPS. "The key now is to get [Congress] to do something instead of hiding behind non-binding resolutions."

Activists are setting their sights on a request President Bush is likely to submit to Congress next week for an estimated 100 billion dollars more for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Peace groups would like to see Congress vote against that measure, a
move they see as more important than any progressive piece of legislation
introduced in Congress this year.

"We are looking at a lot of things that are happening in the Congress right now, from a Senate resolution that opposes an escalation (sending more troops to Iraq) but will allow a war to continue, to other bills out there that talk about bringing the troops home and de-funding the war, but which George Bush can veto," said Nancy Lessing of the group Military Families Speak Out.

"The one thing that we see that can end this war is if Congress votes no money on the appropriation that's going to come before them," she added.

"Legislation is so that Congress has cover," added Michael McPherson, executive director of Veterans for Peace. "The bottom line is that we want the troops to come home and we need it to be defunded. All the other stuff is just a game."

The whirlwind we are now seeing is still in the beginning stages. Real Republicans should fight theses anti-freedom republicans every inch of the way and let them know we're fighting them.
We also need to let the Iraqi and Afghanistanian people as well as the terrorists that Americans have the stomach to defeat our enemies and protect ourselves.

William M. Arkin

Arkin is a condescending arrogant prig in all his Liberal know it allness.

These soldiers should be grateful that the American public, which by all
polls overwhelmingly disapproves of the Iraq war and the President's handling of
it, do still offer their support to them, and their respect.

Through every Abu Ghraib and Haditha, through every rape and murder,
the American public has indulged those in uniform, accepting that the incidents
were the product of bad apples or even of some administration or command
order.

Arkin is also an asshole.

Democrat Minimum Wage Bills a no go?

The Democrats control the House and the Senate. Rhetorically, these Democrats are one with the downtrodden. The downtrodden make minimum wage.


Madam Pelosi, in her 100 hours of glory, made even God aware of who is in charge. Unfortunately Little Charlie Rangel either didn't get the memo or more likely ignored it.

The House passed the MWB is a hurry, but the Senate took a minute more to consider the bill's impact on small business. The MWB hourly pay increase will hurt small business' nationwide. So, the Senate (Max Baucus) inserted a tax break to offset the pain caused by the good feeling MWB. Now the Senate will vote on their bill.

Charlie Rangel, no friend of business, doesn't like tax breaks for business, thus he doesn't like the Senate's MWB. There doesn't seem like there will be a compromise anytime soon.
