Washington Times: Centrist Democrats hit anti-Bush tactics
I think it's a classic case of poll watching...that favorite past time of the left...
The Clinton White House didn't make a move without first consulting the polls...
Kerry waffles daily...sometimes hourly...with the polls...
The article in this morning's Washington Times quotes Michael O'Hanlon, a national-security analyst at the Brookings Institution who advises Democrats on defense issues, as stating: "I think when you suggest that civil liberties are just as much at risk today as the country is from terrorism, you've gone too far if you leave that impression. I don't believe that's true"...
But - truthfully - I think his comments are based on this part of the article: Recent polls say 56 percent of Americans approve of the job Mr. Bush is doing to protect the country from another terrorist attack...
Otherwise...why would he wait until NOW to give his opinion that is contrary to the DNC leadership?
Why not last week when all the tempest was brewing?
I mean, don't get me wrong...it's a good thing that Mr. O'Hanlon came out with this stuff...but, I think it is a lot of "too little, too late"...

So...When The Truth Doesn't Work...How Hysterical Will The Left Become In Its Lies, Slander, And False Accusations??
FrontPage Magazine's article today by Michael P. Tremoglie "A Warrantless Attack" points out the extreme measures that the hysterical left is taking lately...
The latest attack on the President is disgraceful...their accusations that he "broke the law"...that he is "grabbing for power"...all false..
The jurisprudence involved with electronic surveillance for foreign intelligence collection - and the fact the warrantless searches by law enforcement are not uncommon and legal - would indicate that Bush’s assertion of authority is correct. (my emphasis)The Judicial Branch and the Legislative Branch of the federal government have always acknowledged that the Executive Branch has authority to act in the interest of national security – especially when foreign threats are involved.
These facts do not lend any credibility to the hysterical pronouncements by Democrats and other political enemies of the president that he is usurping power. The facts certainly do not justify the attitude of the mainstream media.
When a journalist asked President Bush a question implying that he asserted unchecked powers with his approval of electronic surveillance that reporter revealed his ignorance for all the world to see.
The president’s political enemies are either ignorant or blatantly mischaracterizing crucial aspects of American law. One would not expect journalists to know much, however, one would expect that Senators and Congressional Representatives know the law. (my emphasis)
It seems the only thing that is really warrantless about this affair is the criticism of the president by those more concerned about obtaining power than protecting the people...(my emphasis)
and there you have it...
These liberals...these phonies...these shameless, corrupt, power-hungry maggots would rather expose national security measures in their overt and very public uncloaking of their real intent...their only interest is getting their 'power' back...
THEIR ONLY INTEREST IS PRESERVING THEIR OWN 'POWER'
AND THESE DISGUSTING ATTEMPTS TO DISCREDIT THE PRESIDENT IN A TIME OF WAR ARE GOING TO BACKFIRE ON EACH ONE OF THEM...
because, you see, we know them for who they are...
we recognize a louse when we see one...and the liberal's despicable betrayal of the American people in their self-serving atrocities will come back to haunt them...and not in the way they expect...

NRO: Clinton Claimed Authority to Order No-Warrant Searches
Byron York reported yesterday: In a little-remembered debate from 1994, the Clinton administration argued that the president has "inherent authority" to order physical searches — including break-ins at the homes of U.S. citizens — for foreign intelligence purposes without any warrant or permission from any outside body. Even after the administration ultimately agreed with Congress's decision to place the authority to pre-approve such searches in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court, President Clinton still maintained that he had sufficient authority to order such searches on his own....
"The Department of Justice believes, and the case law supports, that the president has inherent authority to conduct warrantless physical searches for foreign intelligence purposes," Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee on July 14, 1994, "and that the President may, as has been done, delegate this authority to the Attorney General."
"It is important to understand," Gorelick continued, "that the rules and methodology for criminal searches are inconsistent with the collection of foreign intelligence and would unduly frustrate the president in carrying out his foreign intelligence responsibilities."
YOU remember who Jamie Gorlick is...
She was Bill Clinton's Attorney General that created the walls...the obstructive walls that prevented the CIA and the FBI from communicating to each other...SHE'S the one that SHOULD HAVE BEEN A WITNESS RATHER THAN A 9-11 COMMISSION MEMBER!...
but...I digress...that's another story all together...
The point is...CLINTON CLAIMED AUTHORITY TO ORDER PHYSICAL SEARCHES, INCLUDING BREAK-IN'S OF AMERICAN CITIZEN'S HOMES WITHOUT A WARRANT OR PERMISSION!!!!!!!!!!
Hey liberals...SHUT-TF-UP!!!!!!!!

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE OVER THIS???
NewsMax reports today:
During the 1990s, President Bill Clinton ordered the National Security Agency to use its super-secret Echelon surveillance program to monitor the personal telephone calls and private email of employees who worked for foreign companies in a bid to boost U.S. trade, NewsMax.com has learned....
Clinton monitored personal telephone calls???
Where is the MSM rage over this???
In 2000, former Clinton CIA director James Woolsey set off a firestorm of protest in Europe when he told the French newspaper Le Figaro that he was ordered by Clinton in 1993 to transform Echelon into a tool for gathering economic intelligence.
"We have a triple and limited objective," the former intelligence chief told the French paper. "To look out for companies which are breaking US or UN sanctions; to trace 'dual' technologies, i.e., for civil and military use, and to track corruption in international business."
As NewsMax reported exclusively on Sunday, Echelon had been used by the Clinton administration to monitor millions of personal phone calls, private emails and even ATM transactions inside the U.S. - all without a court order.
The massive invasion of privacy was justified by Echelon's defenders as an indispensable national security tool in the war on terror.
But Clinton officials also utilized the program in ways that had nothing to do with national security - such as conducting economic espionage against foreign businesses.
In his comments to Le Figaro, Woolsey defended the program, declaring flatly: "Spying on Europe is justified."
"I can tell you that five years ago, several European countries were giving substantial bribes to export business more easily. I hope that's no longer the case."
During hearings in 2000 on the surveillance flap, Woolsey told Congress that in 1993 alone, U.S. firms obtained contracts worth $6.5 billion with the help of timely intelligence information.
There is a double standard in the so-called "reporting" that comes from the Main Stream Media...and...
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THEIR GAME
THE MSM IS SABOTAGING THIS COUNTRY WITH THEIR ACTIONS...AND THE NEW YORK TIMES HEADS UP THEIR GANG!

IRAQ VOTE IS A SUCCESS
Oh, don't bother to check the MSM headlines...they are all scouring around for some terrorist who is willing to blow himself up in order to disrupt this historic event...
President Bush yesterday stated "We are living through a watershed moment in the story of freedom," he said in the culmination of four major speeches laying out his strategy for victory. "Iraqis will go to the polls to choose a government that will be the only constitutional democracy in the Arab world."
The President also slammed his critics: "Some of the most irresponsible comments about manipulating intelligence have come from politicians who saw the same intelligence we saw, and then voted to authorize the use of force against Saddam Hussein," he said. "These charges are pure politics."
"Whatever our differences in Washington, our men and women in uniform deserve to know that once our politicians vote to send them into harm's way, our support will be with them in good days and bad." (my emphasis)
Okay...Libs...get this straight...we are going to win this war - with or without you...
We are going to continue to SUPPORT OUR TROOPS - EVEN IN THE DARKEST HOUR
Because, unlike YOU, we are not fair weather friends...
We are steadfast...
We stand for something...
WE STAND FOR FREEDOM!
We have morals...we have ethics...and we are not going to lie and try to re-write history to fit our agenda...
WE are not worried about appeasing the enemy with a weak-assed objective of protecting our own hides to the detrement of the rest of the world!
Our men and women in the military deserve better than what you Liberals have been dishing up...WE deserve better than that...
And none of your grousing...none of your shrill hystrionics...none of your lies are going to shake our confidence in the fact that Iraq WILL be a democracy....and Iraq will be a democracy because of the blood, sweat and tears that our Military shed...
And ONLY THEN will they come home...because the mission will truly have been accomplished..

Tookie Williams is Dead...I Am Grieving For The Loss of Life
Oh, no...don't misunderstand...
I am not grieving for Williams death...I am grieving for the four innocent people that he murdered...you know...the ones that the insane liberal left NEVER mention...
Williams' death will occur nearly 27 years after he brutally murdered Albert Owens, a 7-Eleven clerk in Whittier, and three members of the Yang family — Yen-I Yang, Tsai-Shai Yang, and their daughter, Yee-Chen Lin — at the Brookhaven Motel in Los Angeles....
Unlike the peaceful, painless demise awaiting Williams, the deaths of his victims were horrific: He shot each of them at close range with a 12-gauge shotgun, shattering their bodies so that they died in agony. Their suffering amused him...
"You should have heard the way he sounded when I shot him," Williams bragged after killing Albert Owens. According to the district attorney's summary of the evidence, "Williams then made gurgling or growling noises and laughed hysterically about Owens's death."
Of course, you don't hear Hollywood or any of the libs talking about that...
You can find pictures all over the internet of Williams...
I can't even find one of any of his four victims...
So, today, I am mourning...for the victims...for their families...for their children...and for their grandchildren who will never know them...
I heard someone today on a radio show...a caller...that explained the death penalty like this:
"..it gives the families of the victims the chance to move on...otherwise, our society would be filled with people seeking vengeance..."
I paraphrased it...but that makes sense to me...
Today...vengeance was served to Stanley "Tookie" Williams...
And now, hopefully, after 27 long years...hopefully, the families can move on...

John Kerry: U.S. Soldiers ARE Terrorists
So there was John Kerry on Sunday's Face the Nation...and it was 1970 all over again...
In accusations about American troops reminiscent of what the young John Kerry said to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971, the senator and 2004 Democratic presidential nominee told CBS "Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer there was no reason for U.S. soldiers to continue "terrorizing" Iraqi children.
"And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the – of – the historical customs, religious customs," Kerry said Sunday. "Whether you like it or not ... Iraqis should be doing that."
I want to hear from the U.S. Soldiers Kerry is accusing of this!
I want to hear it from THEM that they are TERRORIZING KIDS AND CHILDREN...WOMEN...IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT!
What kind of freak would go on national television...knowing FULL WELL that our enemies monitor each and every 'conversation' that is televised about the war in Iraq...
What kind of monster would go on national television and accuse soldiers that are in active combat of such things!

Lieberman is a Democrat...and he is the epitome of what a REAL Democrat is...not the caricatures that we have been seeing lately from the extreme far left...

Washington Times: "Mormons initiated protection on aliens"
The Mormon church arranged for a Utah senator to write a law to shield churches from prosecution for knowingly allowing illegal aliens to be ministers or do volunteer missionary work for them.
Kim Farah, a spokeswoman for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, released a statement saying the church asked Sen. Robert F. Bennett, Utah Republican, to sponsor the provision, which she called a "narrow exception to the immigration act."
"The law permits churches to use the volunteer services of their undocumented members by insulating the churches from criminal sanctions for doing so," she said.
She said she would not answer any further questions, including why the church needs access to illegal alien volunteers...
That's bad enough...
...but NOW, there apparently are mosques and Muslim-related charities that have had illegal aliens as their leaders, including a mosque in California with two leaders who had stayed past the expiration of their visas. The men were both being investigated for potential ties to terrorism, but were deported on immigration charges....
These people have discovered the loophole and are using it to hide and protect terrorists???

NewsMax: Democrats Speak Out on WMD
News Max reports:
The following is a list of statements made by prominent Democrats on Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction program:
Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.)
"According to the CIA's report, all U.S. intelligence experts agree that Iraq is seeking nuclear weapons. There is little question that Saddam Hussein wants to develop nuclear weapons."
Congressional Record, October 9, 2002
Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.)
"In the four years since the inspectors, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capability to wage biological and chemical warfare and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
Congressional Record, October 10, 2002
Senator Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.)
"[It] is Hussein's vigorous pursuit of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons, and his present and potential future support for terrorist acts and organizations, that make him a terrible danger to the people to the United States."
Congressional Record, October 10, 2002
Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.)
"We must eliminate that [potential nuclear] threat now before it is too late. But that isn't just a future threat. Saddam's existing biological and chemical weapons capabilities pose real threats to America today, tomorrow. ... [He] is working to develop delivery systems like missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles that could bring these deadly weapons against U.S. forces and U.S. facilities in the Middle East. He could make these weapons available to many terrorist groups, third parties, which have contact with his government. Those groups, in turn, could bring those weapons into the United States and unleash a devastating attack against our citizens. I fear that greatly."
Congressional Record, October 10, 2002
Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.)
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.”
Remarks at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, October 27, 2002
Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn.)
"There is no question that Iraq possesses biological and chemical weapons and that he seeks to acquire additional weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons. That is not in debate. I also agree with President Bush that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must be disarmed, to quote President Bush directly."
Congressional Record , October 8, 2002
President Bill Clinton
"In the next century, the community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now - a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists, drug traffickers, or organized criminals who travel the world among us unnoticed. If we fail to respond today, Saddam, and all those who would follow in his footsteps, will be emboldened tomorrow by the knowledge that they can act with impunity, even in the face of a clear message from the United Nations Security Council, and clear evidence of a weapons of mass destruction program."
Remarks at the Pentagon , February 17, 1998
"[L]et's imagine the future. What if he fails to comply and we fail to act, or we take some ambiguous third route, which gives him yet more opportunities to develop this program of weapons of mass destruction and continue to press for the release of the sanctions and continue to ignore the solemn commitments that he made? Well, he will conclude that the international community has lost its will. He will then conclude that he can go right on and do more to rebuild an arsenal of devastating destruction. And some day, some way, I guarantee you he'll use the arsenal. And I think every one of you who has really worked on this for any length of time, believes that, too."
Remarks at the Pentagon, February 17, 1998
"Other countries possess weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles. With Saddam, there is one big difference: He has used them, not once, but repeatedly. Unleashing chemical weapons against Iranian troops during a decade-long war. Not only against soldiers, but against civilians, firing Scud missiles at the citizens of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Iran. And not only against a foreign enemy, but even against his own people, gassing Kurdish civilians in Northern Iraq. The international community had little doubt then, and I have no doubt today, that left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will use these terrible weapons again."
Remarks at the White House , December 16, 1998
Vice President Al Gore
"[I]f you allow someone like Saddam Hussein to get nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, chemical weapons, biological weapons, how many people is he going to kill with such weapons? He's already demonstrated a willingness to use these weapons; he poison gassed his own people. He used poison gas and other weapons of mass destruction against his neighbors. This man has no compunctions about killing lots and lots of people."
Larry King Live, December 16, 1998
"Remember, Peter, this is a man who has used poison gas on his own people and on his neighbors repeatedly. He's trying to get ballistic missiles, nuclear weapons, chemical and biological weapons. He could be a mass murderer of the first order of magnitude. We are not going to allow that to happen."
ABC News’ "Special Report,” December 16, 1998
"We know that [Saddam] has stored away secret supplies of biological weapons and chemical weapons throughout his Country."
Remarks to the Commonwealth Club of California, San Francisco, Calif., September 23, 2002
Secretary Of State Madelyn Albright
"Countering terror is one aspect of our struggle to maintain international security and peace. Limiting the dangers posed by weapons of mass destruction is a second. Saddam Hussein's Iraq encompasses both of these challenges.”
Remarks at the American Legion Convention, New Orleans, La., August 9, 1998
"Iraq is a long way from [America], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risk that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face. And it is a threat against which we must and will stand firm. In discussing Iraq, we begin by knowing that Saddam Hussein, unlike any other leader, has used weapons of mass destruction even against his own people."
CNN "Showdown With Iraq: International Town Meeting," February 18, 1998
Defense Secretary William Cohen
Cohen appeared on ABC’s "This Week” in 1997 to talk about Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction. To illustrate the danger, he brought a five-pound bag of sugar.
Cohen: It’s important when we talk about weapons of mass destruction that we translate that into something that the American people, and hopefully, the world community can understand. If you take a five pound bag of sugar and accept – call this anthrax (holding up a 5-pound bag of table sugar). This amount of anthrax could be spread over a city – let’s say the size of Washington. It could destroy at least half the population of that city. If you had even more amounts ...
One of the things we found with anthrax is that one breath and you are likely to face death within five days. One small particle of anthrax could produce death within five days.
VX is a nerve agent. One drop from this particular thimble as such – one single drop will kill you within a few minutes.
Cokie Roberts: Would you put that bag down please.
Cohen: Now I want to point out – I will spill it on the table – point out that he has had enormous amounts and I’d like to go to some of the lies that have been told about this, because originally, if we could look at this particular chart, the original declaration of Iraq, he said he had small quantities of nerve agent for research. We found almost four tons of VX – that little vial I just showed you – four tons of it.

Thanks Is Also Coming From Iraq...For STAYING There!
From Iraq The Model we hear a "Thank You" today...Mohammed is thanking the U.S. for staying the course...and thanking the troops for the tough job they continue to do:
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and especially to the soldiers who are fighting to defend freedom.
Reading his words struck a chord with me....we always - I always - wonder what the "rest of the story" is when I hear a liberal shrieking "The Iraqi's want us OUT OF IRAQ!"...
Our very own fellow countrymen calling us "occupiers"..."invaders"...
In his own words, Mohammed corrects that notion...in fact...he re-states VERY CLEARLY what the President, the Vice President, and many others have been saying all along...
We all know why some insist that US must leave or keep calling the presence of these troops an occupation. The problem is that the ordinary citizen here cannot talk about this in public for fear of being labeled as an agent or collaborator with the occupation and what can an unarmed citizen do to face such an accusation coming from this or that militia.
What pushes these politicians and militias to take this attitude is their dream of regaining sovereignty but not national sovereignty; it is their sovereignty over Iraq.
What is keeping these liars from making a large scale coup over the democratic change is the presence of coalition troops that are protecting the new Iraq.
Our newfound democracy is suffering a lot from the evil of neighboring dictatorships and the legacy of Saddam's dictatorship and I see the only guarantee to the growth of our democracy until its institutions are firm enough and well established lies in the presence of coalition troops for a longer time. This requires not only the preparation of Iraqi security forces but goes beyond that to protecting the democracy until it passes the danger zone...
"...protecting the democracy until it passes the danger zone..."
There is no other way to state it with more clarity...we have got to stay and finish the job...lives are depending on it...
If you think for one nanosecond that leaving Iraq before their fledgling government is self-sufficient and able to defend itself will help America to "make friends" with the rest of the world as the cum-bay-uh-intoxicated-liberal-left would have you believe...think again...
Those that are clever enough to play into the left's Achilles Heel do not have good intentions for the citizens of Iraq...they are simply biding their time, hoping against hope that the Left in this country will scream and wail long and loud enough to get their way about pulling troops out of Iraq in some sort of appeasement effort...
If - by some horrible turn of events - IF the Left is successful in getting their way over this anti-war effort...the blood of each and every innocent, democracy-and-freedom-loving Iraqi will be on their hands...and on ours...
The annihilation, torture, murder, and butchery that Saddam Hussein put on the Iraqi people after the first Gulf War will turn out to only have been a dress rehearsal for what will follow with our abandonment of these people...
If we leave before the job is finished...the trust...the word...of the United States of America will be deemed worthless...and rightfully so...

Illegal Alien Update
While the Department of Homeland Security works on eliminating the "catch and release" program...a program that NEVER worked, because what illegal alien would keep their word to show up in court and plead their case before a judge...???...I ask you...
...In North Carolina, ...fake passports, social security cards and marriage licenses found by the hundreds...Officers believe the men made and sold the fake ID'S to people who used them to get valid driver's licenses....
oh ya...now THERE'S A GOOD IDEA...
My own governor is a proponent of giving illegals Arizona drivers licenses...a slap in the face to the thousands upon thousands that came here LEGALLY!
In Pennsylvania, Federal officials say the arrest of 125 workers at a construction site for a new Wal-Mart distribution center should serve as a warning to employers who hire illegal immigrants...
In Montana, Six illegal aliens were arrested here Friday, along with the Great Falls man accused of harboring them, police said....
In North Dakota, Police say 34 illegal aliens have been arrested in Bismarck in the past month.
And, sorry, no sympathy from this quarter for the following items:
Thousands of undocumented immigrants in South Florida, hit hard by Hurricane Wilma, find they do not qualify for storm aid....they get food and water but no assistance for housing...
The increase in the number of people without health insurance has occurred largely because of illegal immigration, a study found...
I know that many of you in the boo-hoo crowd think that I am a heartless wretch...but in reality, I just want people to observe THE LAWS of this country and come here LEGALLY...
That's all...
Is that really too much to ask??

CNN Disrespects The Vice President of The United States of America
Matt Drudge is reporting:
At 11:04:45 AM ET Monday CNN was airing Vice President Dick Cheney's speech live from the American Enterprise Institute in Washington -- when a large black 'X' repeatedly flashed over the vice president's face!
The 'X' over Cheney's face appeared each time less than a second, creating an odd subliminal effect.
As this DRUDGE REPORT screen capture reveals, while one 'X' flashed over Cheney's face CNN ran a headline at the bottom of its screen: "CHENEY: I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS WRONG TO CRITICIZE."
One top White House source expressed concern about what was aired over CNN."
Is someone in Atlanta trying to tell us something?"
A CNN spokesman did not return repeated calls late Monday night.
I don't care what your political beliefs are...disrespecting the VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA like this is reprehensible!

You Can Be Sure That Our Family Will Be Giving Thanks
Saying grace on Thanksgiving no longer a given is the title of an article that appeared in the Arizona Republic yesterday...the author seems naive or ignorant of how things are done in "my world"...
Jaimee Rose writes:
So on this holiday that's supposed to be about saying thanks, there's often that pregnant pause for prayer. We're out of practice. We're from different cultures. We have varied beliefs, or none at all. The moment can get just a little awkward.
We could pray. We should. Many will, joyfully and graciously. But what if the new in-laws don't pray, and asking them to join hands and bow heads will make them squirm?
You know...I pray to give thanks...
I DON'T PRAY TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT!
Rose goes on: What if Grandpa says it, and he uses so many "thees" and "thous" that the kids fidget and the potatoes get cold? What if someone has already taken a bite? Would it be gauche to have him or her set down the fork in shame?
What is going on, I ask?
Since when does giving thanks for the many blessings we have received and continue to receive have to be subject to PC rules?...or any other "rules" for that matter?

What matters is that thanks is being given...from the heart...

So on this holiday that's supposed to be about saying thanks, there's often that pregnant pause for prayer. We're out of practice. We're from different cultures. We have varied beliefs, or none at all. The moment can get just a little awkward.
We could pray. We should. Many will, joyfully and graciously. But what if the new in-laws don't pray, and asking them to join hands and bow heads will make them squirm?
You know...I pray to give thanks...
I DON'T PRAY TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT!
Rose goes on: What if Grandpa says it, and he uses so many "thees" and "thous" that the kids fidget and the potatoes get cold? What if someone has already taken a bite? Would it be gauche to have him or her set down the fork in shame?
What is going on, I ask?
Since when does giving thanks for the many blessings we have received and continue to receive have to be subject to PC rules?...or any other "rules" for that matter?

Sound Bites...Face Time...Accusing The President of Lying...Does NOT Convert Into A Congressional Vote!
So exactly what is up with our congressmen?
Look at the vote tally on last Friday over H RES 571 titled: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately...
The bill was defeated 403-3 AGAINST pulling out of Iraq...
Disgraceful...
Why do I call it disgraceful?
Do I WANT to pull U.S. Troops out of Iraq?
OF COURSE NOT! We CANNOT pull out and leave the Iraqi people for certain torture and death!
We CANNOT pull out and negate what our brave troops have endured and suffered for and died for...
It is disgraceful because for all of the Democratic Senators and Congressmen that fall all over themselves trying to get the latest and loudest hate-mongering soundbite against President Bush...only three...THREE...
ONLY THREE OF THOSE COWARDS HAD THE GUTS TO PUT THEIR VOTE ON RECORD!
And..what's up with the six that voted 'PRESENT'???
COWARDS!!!!
All of them!
They would rather sling mud...shout lies...carry the scurrilous message against this President...whenever the cameras are rolling....
But...call them on it...force them to vote for all of their LIES...and look at what we get!

The Jordanians Get It...Why Is It So Difficult For Our Own "Leaders" To Understand??
Here is the understatement of the year:
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi may have miscalculated in his recent bid to attack Western hotels in Amman, Jordan....
May have?
I'm thinking that is a great, big, resounding...YES
"...Thousands of flag-waving Jordanians thronged downtown Amman in the 'March of the Nation,' a noisy, emphatic demonstration against the hotel attacks. 'Al-Zarqawi, you coward, what brought you here?' the angry crowd shouted. 'Cease, cease, al-Zarqawi, you are a villain!' the throng chanted. 'Cease, Cease, you terrorist, you are a coward!' ...'I came specifically to say to those terrorists and al-Zarqawi that we are all united against them. We do not want them on our land,' said Ghazi al-Hajjaj, 43, who traveled from Tafila, 115 miles south of Amman, to attend the rally. Palestinians from Jordan's 13 refugee camps also took part in the protest... Some men brought their families with them. Aya Abu-Ghosh, 9, came with her father and siblings. 'I came here to say to terror: Get out of our home. We don't want you. You scare us.' Many demonstrators lifted photos of King Abdullah II and carried banners denouncing the attacks in general and al-Zarqawi in particular. 'Al-Zarqawi, you are the enemy of God,' one read. The two-hour march concluded with a rally at a downtown square, where many dignitaries and Muslim and Christian clergymen addressed the crowd... One speaker, who did not give his name but told the audience that he was a member of Bani Hassan, al-Zarqawi's tribe, recited a poem condemning terrorism. 'You terrorist, you are a traitor and whoever follows your ideology is also a traitor, too. Go to hell, you son of Satan,' he read."

It really isn't that difficult to follow the thread and figure out what these terrorists are all about...
THEY WANT TO KILL US...ALL OF "US"
And it doesn't matter how nice we are to them...plain and simple...they want us dead...
When do you think the liberals will understand that terrorists never learned Cum-bay-ah...not even the first verse!
And, I hate to tell you this...but I really DON'T think terrorists have ever even heard of Rodney King...OR the concept of "can't we all just get along?"...
Maybe it's something in the water in DC...you think?

Impeached Ex-President Clinton: Americans 'Reluctant to Get to Heaven'
Speaking this month before an audience of 5,000 at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, impeached ex-president Bill Clinton stated "...we also seem to be the most reluctant to get to heaven."

American Ex-President Bill Clinton Shames Himself For The Whole World to See
NewsMax reports: Former president Bill Clinton praised Saddam Hussein's lieutenants and their underlings on Tuesday, saying they were mostly "good" and "decent" people."
"When [the U.S.] kicked out Saddam, they decided to dismantle the whole authority structure," Clinton told an audience at American University in Dubai. "Most of the people who were part of that structure were good, decent people who were making the best out of a very bad situation," he added.
While Clinton didn't name, names, Saddam's authority structure was dominated by his two murderous sons, Uday and Qusay, as well as notorious characters like Ali Hassan al-Majid, [aka Chemical Ali], Barzan al-Takriti, who ran the Iraq's brutal intelligence service, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, who governed northern Iraq during chemical weapon attacks in the Kurds, and Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash [aka Mrs. Anthrax], who was a member of Saddam's Baathist National Command.
Clinton offered praise for Saddam's lieutenants during the same speech where he criticized the U.S. invasion of Iraq as "a big mistake."
While that comment received wide coverage, only the United Arab Emirates Khaleej Times noted his description of Saddam's underlings as mostly good and decent....
Now let's just think about this for one minute...
Calling Saddam's lieutenants "good and decent" not only shows how desperate William Jefferson Clinton has become...it also indicates how this ex-president will say anything...doesn't matter if it is the truth or not...he will say whatever he thinks his audience wants to hear him say.
Shame on ex-president Clinton.
SHAME ON HIM!
How DARE he speak such vile words while our sons and daughters...our husbands...our fathers are still in a foreign country fighting a war!
SHAME ON EX-PRESIDENT CLINTON.
He obviously has no shame...he has shown us that over and over again...
But for him to speak these inflammatory words while standing outside our borders...to pander to our enemies while endangering our citizens and our soldiers...
THAT is not only shameful...it is treasonous.

Senate to the World: We Are Going To Sacrifice The People of Iraq..Make The Lives of American Soldiers KIA Meaningless..So We Can Keep Our Jobs...
Essentially, that is exactly what the proposed Senate resolution says...
If this thing goes through:
- al Zarqawi, from whatever hole he is watching this from, will only have to wait it out until the Coalition troops are withdrawn...
- bin Laden...same thing...
Does ANYBODY in Washington know ANYTHING about history??
Do the thousands upon thousands of lives that were lost to torture, murder, inhumane and unimaginable horrors by the hand of Saddam Hussein after the first Gulf War after the troops left mean nothing to these people that we have elected to run our country?
The same thing happened in Viet Nam and Cambodia after that disaster...
Where have the cahonies of these Republicans gone?
I am so disgusted tonight...
The Republicans in Congress are literally wasting the opportunity they were handed by the American people...wasting all of this time doing nothing more than cowering to the loud-mouthed, foul-mouthed Democrats across the aisle...
From this seat it looks like they are only worried about THEIR hides...THEIR re-election possibilities and probabilities...THEIR job security...
Their actions on Monday sent one very clear message to me: "Screw YOU and every other hopeful American, it's MY ass that I'm worried about"
Time to find more like the 13 that were able to resist this stinking betrayal and vote thier conscience...replace those that are too weak to fulfill their duty to the people that got them there in the first place...

All citizens have the right to keep and bear arms....
If you think that banning guns in San Francisco is going to cut the crime rate...I have a bridge I want to sell you!
The gun ban prohibits the manufacture and sale of all firearms and ammunition in the city, and makes it illegal for residents to keep handguns in their homes or businesses....current handgun owners would have to surrender their firearms by April....
The voters in San Francisco, concerned about the rising crime rate...and no one can fault them for that...
But...BUT!
Voting in a BAN on ALL guns...
DO YOU THINK THE CRIMINALS ARE GOING TO COMPLY???
Let's get reasonable people...
The ONLY ones that are going to have guns are going to be the criminals if this thing is implemented...

But...!

Drudge is reporting this memo:
To: All CNN Staff
From: Jon Klein
We have made some programming decisions which will impact our prime time schedule as well as our colleague Aaron Brown. Aaron will be leaving CNN and is very much looking forward to some well-deserved time off with his family.
Aaron has made enormous contributions to CNN since his groundbreaking anchoring of Sept. 11th through the war in Iraq to the Tsunami to the recent hurricanes. Outside of the big stories, on a nightly basis, Aaron has provided our audiences with insight into the events of the United States and the world with eloquence and the highest journalist integrity.
Besides his stellar work as an anchor, Aaron stands as an absolutely brilliant writer, evident by the thoughtful perspective he injects into every story he touches.
Personally, I will miss Aaron and his wicked sense of humor. We cannot thank Aaron enough for the skills and professionalism he brought to CNN. Given his respect throughout the industry, there is no question that he will be missed.
Heh...not here...he won't be missed...~grin~

We have made some programming decisions which will impact our prime time schedule as well as our colleague Aaron Brown. Aaron will be leaving CNN and is very much looking forward to some well-deserved time off with his family.
Aaron has made enormous contributions to CNN since his groundbreaking anchoring of Sept. 11th through the war in Iraq to the Tsunami to the recent hurricanes. Outside of the big stories, on a nightly basis, Aaron has provided our audiences with insight into the events of the United States and the world with eloquence and the highest journalist integrity.
Besides his stellar work as an anchor, Aaron stands as an absolutely brilliant writer, evident by the thoughtful perspective he injects into every story he touches.
Personally, I will miss Aaron and his wicked sense of humor. We cannot thank Aaron enough for the skills and professionalism he brought to CNN. Given his respect throughout the industry, there is no question that he will be missed.
Heh...not here...he won't be missed...~grin~

Democrats...Liberals...Have Gone Mad
If you just take a moment to look at the headlines around the country, you will realize that the liberals have gone 'round the bend...
The reason?
They have NO platform...
They have NO morals...
They have NO principals...
The party that makes the most noise about race-hating...hates minorities the most, it appears...
Oh, you say to me...that CAN'T BE...it's the Liberals that are the touchy-feely-bleeding-hearts...
and I say to you...it's all an act...
Yep...a sad, phony, sick act...
Here's your proof:
Michael Steele, Lt. Governor for Maryland, announced that he is running for the Senate...last week, after Mr. Steele announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate, we were unsurprised to hear about a doctored photo posted to Steve Gilliard's "News Blog," a liberal Web site, depicting Mr. Steele as a minstrel and describing him with racially stereotyped slurs.
Oh, an old liberal tactic...ESPECIALLY if a black politician is a Republican...!!!
"That just can't be...no, no, no, no, no, NO!"
"Why, if they are black and they aren't a Democrat...then...WE MUST DESTROY!"
The Captain gets it: That shows the leadership of the Democrats as they truly are -- a hate-based faith system that takes any means necessary to win elections. Cheating, violence, smears, and now racism are all acceptable as long as Republicans are the targets. If the Republicans happen to be members of minority communities, so much the better.
After all, it's not discrimination when you hate someone more because of the color of their skin or their ethnic background, is it?
Not if you're a leftist Democrat, it isn't....
Oh, this isn't the only thing that is going on...no...that is just the tip of the iceberg...
Let's take a look for a moment at what is going on with the nomination of Samuel Alito, Jr. to the Supreme Court...
Democratic Senators are outdoing themselves with this one...
After yesterday's publicity stunt of forcing a closed session in the Senate, Human Events asks: Are Reid and Other Democratic Demagogues Lying or Stupid?
Why is it nobody ever mentions these 128 words?
The United Nations concluded in 1999 that Saddam Hussein had biological weapons materials sufficient to produce over 25,000 liters of anthrax; enough doses to kill several million people. He hasn’t accounted for that material. He has given no evidence that he has destroyed it….
…Before September the 11th, many in the world believed that Saddam Hussein could be contained. But chemical agents, lethal viruses and shadowy terrorist networks are not easily contained. Imagine those 19 hijackers with other weapons and other plans -- this time armed by Saddam Hussein. It would take one vial, one canister, one crate slipped into this country to bring a day of horror like none we have ever known. We will do everything in our power to make sure that that day never comes....
So why is it that the libs are getting away with these crybaby, pouting, temper tantrums?
Because their friends in the media are only covering what THEY want to cover...still trying to brainwash the citizens of this country...
Liberals have been on the edge for a long time...
But you can always tell when someone REALLY gets under their skin...
Like Mike Steele...he obviously is a GREAT candidate if the libs are resorting to their oh-so-predictable-hysterical-racial attacks...
Like Sam Alito...he obviously is a FABULOUS candidate if the libs are resorting to hijacking the Senate...
Like petulant children the libs have only one thing to fall back on...crying and temper tantrums...
And, like always, the conservatives...the ADULTS in this whole scenario...must step over them and go about the business of running the country...

MICHAEL MOORE OWNS HALIBURTON!!!
"I don't own a single share of stock!" filmmaker Michael Moore proudly proclaimed....
He's right. He doesn't own a single share. He owns tens of thousands of shares – including nearly 2,000 shares of Boeing, nearly 1,000 of Sonoco, more than 4,000 of Best Foods, more than 3,000 of Eli Lilly, more than 8,000 of Bank One and more than 2,000 of Halliburton, the company most vilified by Moore in "Fahrenheit 9/11."
Oh, YA, it's true ...they just don't want us to know how seriously INSINCERE THEY ALL ARE!
Here's more on the phony-LYING-LIBERAL-LEFT:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who proclaims her support for unions, yet the luxury resort, the vineyard and the restaurants she partly owns are strictly non-union. While she advocates tough new laws enforcing environmental regulations on the private sector, the exclusive country club she partly owns failed to comply with existing environmental regulations for the past eight years – including a failure to protect endangered species.
Noam Chomsky has made a reputation for calling America a police state and branding the Pentagon "the most hideous institution on earth," yet his entire academic career, writes Schweizer, has been subsidized by the U.S. military.
Barbra Streisand is another proponent of environmentalism, yet she drives an SUV, lives in a mansion and has a $22,000 annual water bill. In the past, she has driven to appointments in Beverly Hills in a motor home because of her aversion to using public bathrooms....
Oh, I could write a book on my disgust for good ole, phony, fakey, Babs...
Listen...don't believe those LIARS for ONE SECOND!!!!
Oprah has been the latest mouthpiece for the DON'T-DO-AS-I-DO.....DO-AS-I-SAY crowd with her telling everyone recently "...if only everyone in the United States (the EVIL UNITED STATES...)...would drive economical, hybrid cars...."
uh, yea...um-hmm...and I am SURE that Oprah left her show in a Prius...
Oh YES, Oprah...and that child actor, Leonardo DiCaprio...telling everyone ELSE to drive fuel efficient cars, while they are chauffered in their SUVs and Limos...
SHUT UP ALREADY, LIBERALS...PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH HOLLYWOOD!!
...AND THEN...maybe...we will be able to take you seriously...
disgusting phonies...

Morons that Spam the Microphones (MSM) Attack Again: This Time - Judge Samuel Alito
Well...it didn't take long, did it...
Smear WHOEVER President Bush nominates for the Supreme Court...
CBS "CRACKED" reporter, John Roberts, made the following insulting attack this morning according to Drudge:
CBSNEWS Chief White House correspondent John Roberts described the President’s selection of Judge Samuel Alito as “sloppy seconds” during today’s press gaggle with White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan.
John Roberts: “So, Scott, you said that -- or the President said, repeatedly, that Harriet Miers was the best person for the job. So does that mean that Alito is sloppy seconds, or what?”
Scott McClellan: “Not at all, John.”
Sloppy seconds” is described in the United Kingdom’s A Dictionary of Slang as:
Noun: “A subsequent indulgence in an activity by a second person involving an exchange of bodily fluids. This may involve the sharing of drink, or more often it applies to a sexual nature. E.g. ‘I’m not having sloppy seconds, I want to shag her first.’”
Now, the egotistical John Roberts (CBS) wants us to think he looks like THIS:
this is his picture on the CBS website - OBVIOUSLY he is wearing makeup...and they had to airbrush the HELL out of his face....
In reality, John Roberts (CBS) looks like THIS:
(is that Grecian formula, John?)
why do I mention this?
Because I am sick and tired of the Morons that Spam the Microphones! (MSM)
I am sick and tired of the media, the left-wing loudmouths, the "it's all about me" idiots, the people that think that if they write it; if they say it; if they tell us long enough, we are going to believe them!
I am sick and tired of the self-absorbed, "I-am-better-than-you" extremists that think that just because THEY think should be a certain way, that any of THE REST OF THE INHABITANTS OF THIS COUNTRY - WHICH, BY THE WAY, MAKE UP THE MAJORITY THAT ELECTED THIS PRESIDENT BECAUSE WE WANT A CONSTITUTIONALIST ON THE SUPREME COURT...just because they DON'T, then they cast the rest of us as morons...
How DARE such a moronic CBS reporter...a reporter that is so vain he has to post an ancient, photoshopped picture of himself on the web...
How DARE he make such a disgusting attack on a sitting judge!!
Hopefully I am not alone here...

CAUTION: Price Caps Is Only a TEMPORARY Solution...
...what really needs to happen is finding a long-term solution to our oil sources and prices...
And there are many options that need to be considered...but I caution anyone that thinks that putting permanent price caps in place is the only solution...
If you are in doubt, one only needs to look at the energy crisis that was created in California when price caps were instituted...
Yes, the consumers fared better...FOR A WHILE...
When you have price caps in place eventually you will find government subsidizing necessary if the companies are going to remain operational...which is exactly what happened in California:
As a result of the 1996 restructuring, the privately owned (non-municipal) utilities were subject to provisions that made it uneconomical for them to enter into long-term contracts. Public Utilities Commission rules created strong incentives for them to buy electricity only from the state-run Power Exchange on the short term, making the utilities subject to spikes in wholesale markets. On the Power Exchange, the longest term market for purchase was one day in advance; the short term was 10 minutes in advance....
“So there was no long-term protection for the investor-owned utilities..(snip)...If you are selling to retail customers who don’t want price fluctuations, the way to operate is through long-term contracts to have that security.”
The situation resulted in the draining of all financial assets of the investor-owned utilities, the bankruptcy of Pacific Gas & Electric, and the near-bankruptcy of Southern California Edison.
And there is another wrinkle when considering what is happening to our gas prices....the competition is getting smaller and smaller...
What do I mean?
Well, think about it...companies are merging...companies are being bought out...which leaves fewer companies competing against each other...which eventually leads - or COULD LEAD - to higher prices...
Is that what is happening right now? Who knows for sure?
Are the gas companies raising prices in line with what they are paying for the crude oil?
A lot to consider...hopefully our legislators won't move to put price caps in place...at least not permanent ones...with the speed that they raced to the cameras after Exxon announced a profit...
Obviously companies are in business to make money for not only themselves but their investors as well...
Let's slow down and take a good look at what really is going on before making a knee-jerk decision that will give good face time on the news channels...
It might buy you votes today...but it also might create a worse crisis in the future...
Long-term solutions...that's what we need...

Ward Churchill Is At It Again - Tell Students 'Hitler should have exterminated “your American grandparents instead of the Jews"'
Well, OF COURSE HE'S DENYING IT!!
Ward Churchill, speaking at DePaul University, also is quoted as having said THIS:
He said that Madeline Albright admitted that 500,000 Iraqi children were killed in Iraq because of the UN sanctions imposed by the US, and that it was justified in order to fight Sadam Hussein. (Albright never said any such thing, of course). After watching our stunned reaction, he added: “Hitler exterminated the wrong people. He should have exterminated your American grandparents instead of the Jews,” because of the evil deeds the Americans have done for generations, exploiting and oppressing people all over the world, killing 500,000 Iraqi children who are not less valuable than any American, and perhaps more valuable.
This anti-American professor ALWAYS denies saying what he says...accusing people of misquoting him...yet he always refuses to allow tape recorders into his sessions...
Why? Why ban tape recorders?
Well, that just makes it so much easier for Churchill to play the 'victim', doesn't it...
Say whatever lies he wants to throw out there...then deny them...
One of these days...all those lies...all those smears...all those false accusations...they're gonna catch up to that Injun wanna-be...
You just watch...
Ward Churchill is going to get his just desserts...
Some people call it karma...
My grandpa called it...

Bucktowndusty is responsible for this animation...and guess he was the first one to bring it to everyone's attention...
If you don't think that the anti-Rice-pro-Hillary group aren't already hard at work to smear Condi...ANYWAY THEY CAN...including photoshopping a picture of her to make Condi look evil...
...then...you don't deserve to vote, brother...
I mean it!
At least be aware of your surroundings...and what the enemy is already working on...
USA Today's weak-assed retraction..."...Photos published online are routinely cropped for size and adjusted for brightness and sharpness to optimize their appearance. In this case, after sharpening the photo for clarity, the editor brightened a portion of Rice's face, giving her eyes an unnatural appearance. This resulted in a distortion of the original not in keeping with our editorial standards...."
Yea, RIGHT!...HA!...you got caught!
editorial standards my ass!

BUT...perhaps the reason that Dowd finally broke her unusual silence is because of THIS...

Ya...those Libs...
Hit a man (or woman) when they are down...not only that...kick 'em...HARD...

AND...of course...(drum roll)...the snarky-biotch over at the Grey Lady...none other than...Maureen Dowd...
People have been clucking their tongues, wondering why Maureen hasn't found the time to stick it to Judy...Newsbusters recognize that Dowd's rag is nothing more than the pot calling the kettle black...
BUT...perhaps the reason that Dowd finally broke her unusual silence is because of THIS...
hmmm...
makes me wonder...those that criticize the "money-making-machines" always seem to be the ones that are working it the hardest...
Ya...those Libs...
Hit a man (or woman) when they are down...not only that...kick 'em...HARD...
...that'll show 'em
Maybe next time...if there IS a next time...maybe next time Judy Miller will perform for the Libs...
...like a monkey on a leash for the organ grinder...

Sheriff Joe Is Raising The Bar...Bad Drivers Face Fingerprinting
Here in Arizona we don't take kindly to identity thieves...
So, Sheriff Joe Arpaio is going the extra mile...
Get stopped for criminal driving behavior and get your fingerprints taken...No IF's, AND's or BUT's...IT'S THE LAW...
This is a modified version of a program that is already in place...but THAT ONE was voluntary...
Now... it is mandatory for drivers that are cited for criminal violations:
...drivers cited for criminal violations, such as driving more than 20 mph over the speed limit, must ink their thumbs or be jailed....
...And the program is being expanded to the entire county....
Sheriff Joe is SERIOUS!
SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO: "To be frank with you, the stupid people gave their prints. You think anybody else would give their prints if they had a problem? No."
Criminal violations for which people will be fingerprinted include:
• Driving more than 20 mph over speed limit
• Reckless driving
• DUI
• Hit and run
• Drag racing
• Driving with suspended/canceled/ revoked license or plates
• Failure to stop for school bus stop signal
