Is Hsu a Red Chinese plant?
A Fugitive Political Fund-Raiser Leaves a Shadowy Money Trail
Wouldn't be the first time a democrat got Red Chinese money. Clinton I, Gore, Kerry.
To my minion, your thoughts?
Answer up now. All of you.
Go ahead. Flood that comment section.
Is Hsu a plant infiltrating American politics through the sieve known as the Democratic Party?
Maybe through Chuckie Hsumer.
Who's getting dirty Islamofascist money?

Harry Reid, Petraeus The Liar
Reid: Petraeus’ Testimony Is White House Spin
“He has made a number of statements over the years that have not proven
to be factual,” Reid said. “I have every belief that this good man will give us
what he feels is the right thing to do in his report, but it’s not his report
anymore. It’s Bush’s report.”
Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., joined his Senate colleagues in claiming the
Petraeus report would be little more than a work of fiction.
“Instead of a new strategy for Iraq, the Bush administration is
cherry-picking the data to support their political objectives and preparing a
report that will offer another defense of the president’s strategy,” said
Emanuel, the House Democratic Caucus Chair. “We don’t need a report that wins
the Nobel Prize for creative statistics or the Pulitzer for fiction.”
As I read and write, Dianne Feinstein is on Fox News Sunday spewing the party line of Petraeus is lying, but he is a nice guy who has to answer to that lying Bush. Oh, and yes the violence is down, but things aren't any better in Iraq.
Go read the entire article at Let Freedom Ring. It is a good article.

"The United States is a liberal country"
and Michael Moore wears a 32 X 32 slim. In a boot cut for sure.
Joan Baez andCat Stevens Yusuf Islam? That's gotta be just rockin.
I guess when you have a million dollar palatial Manhattan pad it's hard to get out and hear what America is really thinking. Or you don't want to.
Take the Peace Train back to Flint weenie.

Moore takes parting shot at Bush in rockstar flick
"The majority of Americans are liberal. They hate that word and they'll
never use it, but if you ask them, 'Do you think women should be paid the same
as men; do you think that we need assault weapons laws; do you think the minimum wage should be raised' ... the majority of Americans take a liberal position on every issue, except capital punishment."
But voters were simply not presented with a strong-enough Democratic
candidate in Kerry, he said. "They don't want to go into a polling booth and
vote for a weenie for president."

I Am A Republican Mouth Breather
As well as a knuckle dragger, I guess. Kos kiddies are really neat people in their own way.
Hagel Retiring; Sea Change in the West?It seems they have their own mouth breather because the next story is:
Republican mouth breathers won’t have Chuck Hagel to kick around anymore...
Brian Baird featured in Freedom Crock ad
Nice going, Bri!
...
Do I mean that Baird has gone irretrievably over to the dark side when I
say that? No. I mean that Baird has discovered what, for Lieberman, proved to be
the "gateway drug" -- media stardom for being the Democrat who will go on record to provide the coveted Dems DividedTM storyline.
Do mouth breathers reside on the dark side? Will there be Wookies? Princess Leia?
It appears there will be liberal/progressives as well.
Darth's gonna be angry.

Bush Plan Not Going As Planned - Again
Criticism Of McClatchy Surge Story Sparks Online Response
"Pentagon officials and the White House had predicted that U.S.
casualties would rise, especially since the U.S. forces had launched major
offensives in Diyala province, north of Baghdad, and Babil province, to the
south," the response said. "One of the most recent restatements of that premise
came in the White House's July 12 assessment of progress in Iraq on Pages 3 and
4.
"So what happened?" Seibel wrote. "Not what had been predicted. U.S.
deaths caused by enemy action peaked at 120 in May, before the surge reached
full strength or Operation Phantom Thunder was launched. Combat casualties then fell consistently for the next three months, reaching a low of 56 in August.
That's the lowest number of combat casualties all year. You have to go back to
July 2006 to find combat casualties at that level."
And liberals are po'd, but which way?
Chuck Chucks Chuck
Hagel is calling it quits
Some will moan, some will say that this is just another seat Republicans will have to defend and others will say ta-ta, good riddance.

Ron Paul, Butt Boy for Leftists
Ron Paul never had my vote, but now he has lost my respect.
REP. PAUL: The people who say there will be a bloodbath are the ones who said it would be a cakewalk, it would be slam dunk, and that it would be paid for by oil. Why believe them? They've been wrong on everything they've said. Why not ask the people -- (interrupted by cheers) -- why not ask the people who advise not to go into the region and into the war? The war has not gone well one bit.
So just like Schumer, Reid, Pelosi, Kucinich, Durbin etal, Ron Paul now aligns himself with the wackjob left in saying 1) President Bush is a boob and a liar, and 2) Neo Cons (the Jews!) are running our foreign policy. Then Paul ignores the history of the Congressional abandonment of South East Asia and the bloodbath that ensued.
Also Paul decides that spreading freedom is a bad thing since freeing 50+ million people in Iraq and Afghanistan has not made the war go well, not even one bit.
MR. WALLACE: So, Congressman Paul, and I'd like you to take 30 seconds to answer this, you're basically saying that we should take our marching orders from al Qaeda? If they want us off the Arabian Peninsula, we should leave? (Laughter.)
REP. PAUL: No! (Cheers, applause.) I'm saying -- (laughter) -- I'm saying we should take our marching orders from our Constitution. We should not go to war -- (cheers, applause) -- we should not go to war without a declaration. We should not go to war when it's an aggressive war. This is an aggressive invasion. We've committed the invasion of this war, and it's illegal under international law. That's where I take my marching orders, not from any enemy. (Cheers, boos.)
Now Paul has returned to his “9/11 was our fault” meme by saying this is an aggressive war. This is a war against not only those that attacked us, but also those that support terror groups throughout the world and Sadaam was a big supporter. Plus, for Paul, who calls himself a strict constructionist about the Constitution, to cite international law is laughable, just as he is becoming laughable.
REP. PAUL: The American people didn't go in. A few people advising this administration, a small number of people called the neoconservative hijacked our foreign policy. They're responsible, not the American people. They're not responsible. We shouldn't punish them. (Cheers, applause.)
MR. HUCKABEE: Congressman, we are one nation. We can't be divided. We have to be one nation under God. That means if we make a mistake, we make it as a single country, the United States of America, not the divided states of America. (Cheers.)
REP. PAUL: No. When we make a mistake -- (interrupted by applause) -- when we make a mistake, it is the obligation of the people through their representatives to correct the mistake, not to continue the mistake! (Cheers, applause.)
So now, Paul the strict constructionist, is calling for the people, through their representatives to violate the Constitution to control international relations and the rights of the Commander in Chief. Sounds like Harry Reid.
Ron Paul is no conservative, nor is he a libertarian. I don’t know what he is anymore, but he sounding like a butt boy for the likes of John Kerryand his ilk who never once looked back or shed a tear for what his kind of people did to our soldiers and the poor souls who hoped to be free of the yoke of communism in South East Asia. For that alone Mr. Paul, go to hell.
To enhance freedom, spread freedom.

Wannabe Chairman Short Meets Dictator Tall, Assad Kucinich
US Democratic hopeful Kucinich meets Assad, blasts Bush
"I feel the United States is engaging in an illegal occupation ... I
don't want to bless that occupation with my presence," he said in an interview
in Lebanon, after visiting Syria. "I will not do it."
Doing for America what he did for Cleveland.
“Strength through Peace is vastly different from the dead end
neo-conservative ‘Peace through Strength’ doctrine which attempts to
legitimatize unilateralism, first strike and preemption. I want President Assad
to know that our congress and our nation has people who believe in direct
engagement.”
Building peace through betrayal, one dictator at a time. Next stop Tehran?
Peace on brother. Farm out, you weasel.

McClatchy McClutches to Defeat in Iraq
Victories in the field denote losses in newsrooms; reasons unclear.
One British analyst, using the example of the British drawdown of forces in southern Iraq, suggested that the lower numbers may mean that American troops are irrelevant to the many conflicts racking Iraq: ethnic cleansing of neighborhoods in Baghdad, massive bombings of religious minorities by Sunni Muslim extremists in northern Iraq and Shiite-on-Shiite-Muslim violence in southern Iraq.
Instead, he suggested, Iraq’s armed factions and politicians already are thinking beyond the troop buildup.
"Everyone is preparing for what happens" after U.S. forces leave, said James Denselow, an Iraq specialist at the London-based Chatham House, a foreign affairs research institute.
In my eyes this is an end point of the beginning of success in Iraq. Petreaus has things moving in the right direction, sectarian violence is being directed inward as more Iraqi citizens reject the sectarian violence and AIG.
I see "beyond the surge" as code for after the US leaves Iraq which brings us full circle, in liberal minds, as dealing with a civil war which is bs. Liberals refuse to deal with Syria and Iran in their equations of Iraq, just as they did with Russia and China in Vietnam.
For a bonus read the comments. There are some beauts, especially those that see this as a "cheerleading" piece for the White House. Yep, at McClatchy, that'd be a given.

Woody and Man At Ohio State
My father used to tell me, "Woody is Ohio State and Ohio State is Woody, but he'll knock your teeth out if you say the first part."
I like George W. Bush and I like Jim Tressel, but neither are quote kings. Heck, I don't even know what Coach Tressel's answers mean most of the time.
To that end, and now that the season is about 10 days from getting serious and Big Ten TV will be out of the way, we need to get in the right frame of mind.
Woody Hayes:
The man who became simply known as "The Old Man" was born February 14, 1913 in Clifton, Ohio. He grew up in a small town called Newcomerstown, graduated from Denison and coached at Denison and Miami of Ohio before coming to Ohio State. Over his career, he amassed a 238-72-10 record and 205-61-10 in the Big Ten. He won four national championships (five if you count the title given to OSU by the National Football Foundation in 1970), won 13 Big Ten titles, played in 8 Rose Bowls (including four straight from 72-75), produced 56 All-Americans, and had three Heisman Trophy winners, three Outland Trophy winners, two Lombardi Trophy winners, and some of the coaches that were assistants under him were Lou Holtz, Bo Schembechler, Rudy Hubbard, Bill Mallory, Earle Bruce, and Dave McClain.
Woody Hayes' quotes:
"Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach."
"So many times I've found people smarter than I was ... But you know what they couldn't do? They couldn't outwork me. They couldn't outwork me!"
"Anything easy ain't worth a damn!"
"Without winners, there wouldn't even be any god damned civilization."
"No, goddammit! We do NOT pull in and fill up. And I'll tell you exactly why we don't. It's because I don't buy one goddam drop of gas in the state of Michigan! We'll coast and PUSH this goddam car to the Ohio line before I give this state a nickel of my money!"
"I'm not trying to win a popularity poll. I'm trying to win football games. I don't like nice people. I like tough, honest people."
"I feel sometimes that the man upstairs sort of likes us. Maybe He was testing us, saying, 'Let's see what kind of people are at Ohio State. Do they take defeat lightly? Can they come back from adversity?'"
"Perfect preparation prevents piss-poor performance."
"Football is about the only unifying force left in America today. It is certainly one of the few places in our society where teamwork, mental discipline, and the value of hard work still mean anything. We stick to the old-fashioned virtues, and if the rest of the country had stuck to them, it would have been a different story in Vietnam."
"There's one thing that worries me about our lifestyle and civilization today. We're too often talking bad about ourselves. This, as far as I'm concerned, hurts us more than everything else put together."
"The problem comes from people believing they have too many rights, and the word 'rights' to them means acting like an idiot."
"Now I want to tell you that people need friends. I visited an old friend today, Dick Nixon. Right now, he has no friends. Nobody wants to be friends with him, but I am still Dick's friend. Dick can count on Woody. Woody will be there for Dick Nixon."
"We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan."
About Woody Hayes:
"Woody was the original Rush Limbaugh. There were no ifs, ands, or buts; he was right-wing for God and country. He was proud to be an American, and he instilled that in his players."--Tim Fox
"If I had to go into a battle and I needed someone loyal and courageous to cover my blindside, I know damn well Woody would be my man. I know, too, that God hasn't created a more generous, compassionate, or more understanding man than Woody Hayes."--Jack Tatum
"Woody studied the whole race issue. He came to camp in '68 and sat us down and told us we were not going to have any problems. We're going to play like a team. We looked at each other a lot differently then. From that point on, the race issue was devoid on our team. He put it to rest."--Dave Whitfield
"We had more personal contact with Woody Hayes than with any other faculty member outside of the classroom. I know of no other faculty member than Coach Hayes who made personal visits to students in their residences in order to inspire their pursuits of academic excellence."--Fred C. Sweeney, OSU student
"He was a legend in his own time. He taught me football, but more importantly, he taught me more about life than anybody else."--Lou Holtz
"Divorce, no. Murder, yes."—Anne Hayes
"Though his tenure at Ohio State spanned the turbulent years of the Civil Rights Movement, the only colors that ever mattered to Hayes were OSU's scarlet and gray; black and white were irrelevant."--Paul Hornung
"Coach Hayes truly epitomized what a head coach should be. He worked hard. He was a perfectionist. He was a true patriot. He was a true Ohioan."--Paul Warfield
"Woody is one of the greatest leaders our country has ever produced."--General Lewis Walt, Marine Corps commandant
Nixon recalled, "I wanted to talk about football and Woody wanted to talk about foreign policy. And you know Woody. We talked about foreign policy."
"Woody is a God-fearing man. It's good to know that he's afraid of somebody." --Archie Griffin
My father also told me about one practice where a great big 300+ pound guy wasn't giving it his all. Woody walked up to him and had a quiet and private conversation with this player who had to bend way over to hear. The player straightened up and practiced like a mad man the rest of the day. Everyone was impressed.
After practice when asked about it Woody said, "I explained that I kept a WWII bayonet in my office and that if he was going to play like a cheerleader, I'd fix him up so he could be a cheerleader. He must've believed me."
Much of this came from Bucknuts and Buckeyes and Sabermetrics, two great sites.

The Victory Caucus needs your help
If you support continuing the mission in Iraq, go here to sign the Victory Caucus' online petition. And, for Labor Day weekend fun, come back to the comments here and explain why you do or do not agree with the petition.
(psst! I flagrantly stole this as a whole from TigerHawk, but go support this effort. You are needed)

From A Cuban in Ohio
I can't add anything at this point.
Taxes
At first I thought this was funny...then I realized the awful truth of it.
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.
Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.
Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries,
thenTax his tears.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers,
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.
Put these words
upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my doom...
"When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

The Black Book of Communism
The Black Book of Communism became possible with the opening of the archives of the USSR. The book, first published in France 1997, chronicles the brutality, murder and oppression of communism throughout its history. With wild ho-hums and yawns by our fabulous intellectual class the book is now available here in the land of freedom. Freedom allows for ho-hums and yawns, even in church. That is not so in the lands of communism. Yawn in the church of Stalin and you'll get a bullet through the brain pan and your family will be billed for the cost of the bullet.
I grew up with parents that believed communism was a brutal and horrid form of government when actually put in place. Through lots of research they put a price to living in a worker's paradise. Boy, oh boy, were they wrong. Their numbers were way low. It appears the price of workers living in paradise was a bit pricier than even my parents thought, at least in terms of pain, misery, death and mass murder. All state planned by the bureaucrats of paradise.
In the early 1980s while working in DC and doing a lot of research I was moved to produce a bumper sticker that simply said "Communism kills". I still see some of those now and then and The Black Book of Communism proves that simple statement.
Communism is the big brother encompassing all the little evil "isms" including its bastard little brothers, socialism and liberalism.

Slimed - Liberals Hate it When Troops Know The Facts.
I love this. Political opportunists screw the troops in Washington DC for political gain, but get incensed when they visit the troops in Iraq and their words are known to troops.
In their own words, they are slimed by their own words. Isn't that special.
Good Lord, I'm thinking that libs are beginning to hate the Internet. That's DARPA's Internet not alGore's. Their words, their videos and their cheap political pandering can all be seen, heard and read by our troops half a world away and that ticks them off. Good.
They're ticked off that the troops are ticked off about being used as pawns as they are betrayed by those that think they're being slimed by being quoted.
Moran is one of the most arrogant bullies in Congress. He loves to use cruel sarcasm against helpless witnesses in committee hearings to belittle them.
I would have loved to seen Moran's face. Hell, I would've paid to see his face.
I hope our troops do this more. I think we should help our troops to get the word out.

Lawmakers Describe 'Being Slimed in the Green Zone'
The sheets of paper seemed to be everywhere the lawmakers went in the Green Zone, distributed to Iraqi officials, U.S. officials and uniformed military of no particular rank. So when Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.) asked a soldier last
weekend just what he was holding, the congressman was taken aback to find
out.
In the soldier's hand was a thumbnail biography, distributed before
each of the congressmen's meetings in Baghdad, which let meeting participants such as that soldier know where each of the lawmakers stands on the war. "Moran on Iraq policy," read one section, going on to cite some
the congressman's most incendiary statements, such as, "This has been the worst
foreign policy fiasco in American history."
The bio of Rep. Ellen O. Tauscher (D-Calif.) -- "TAU (rhymes
with 'now')-sher," the bio helpfully relates -- was no less pointed, even if she
once supported the war and has taken heat from liberal Bay Area constituents who remain wary of her position. "Our forces are caught in the middle of an escalating sectarian conflict in Iraq, with no end in sight," the bio quotes.
"This is beyond parsing. This is being slimed in the Green Zone,"
Tauscher said of her bio.
In their own words, they are slimed by their own words. Isn't that special.
