Contacting the Media - Thanks DU!

At Democratic Underground they have developed a National Media Blaster with a page for each state titled Local Media Blaster that has email addresses of media contacts. Of course, they are expecting you to use it in support of Kerry...but there aren't any prohibitions anywhere on the site nor do you have to check a box stating that you are going to abide by the DU rules...

It really is kinda cool...you go to your state, give your email address (they SWEAR they don't keep a record of it...ya! sure! make one up), check which type of media you want to contact - radio, newspaper, etc - and they give you a list of emails ready to cut and paste into an email.

Oh, and btw, they recommend that you use BCC so that "recipients cannot see all of the other recipents' addresses"...pretty clever, huh.

If you are in the frame of mind to send a "Support Bush" or "Defeat Kerry" email, why not take advantage of their list? They already have done the legwork...~grin~

Surprise - Hollywood Wants Kofi Annan to be President of the World

The Fourth Freedom Forum is linked from the Artists United to Win Without War (AUWWW) website so the reader can get more information about the controversy over justifying war in Iraq. Fourth Freedom founder Brembeck's vision and desire for a world based on the rule of international law rather than force and free from fear of weapons of mass destruction.

Rule of International Law? Doesn't that sound like the U.N. to you?

Win Without War apologizes for Abu Graib

Another website, Win Without War (WWW), lists all of their "coalition members". You gotta read this list to understand who they are.

Shockingly, this group has already run an ad on Arab television apologizing for Abu Graib!!! Who authorized that?? According to WWW:

With the ad they hope to send a message directly from the people of the United States, to the people of Iraq and the Arab world, telling them that, as Americans, we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them in demanding justice for these sinful abuses committed in our name.

I am totally hacked off about this!! I got a comment on this blog from a lib asking "why should Arabs apologize for 9-11?" And these idiots are running to apologize for putting underwear on someone's head?

Hollywood is STILL Working - Albeit Underground - to Denigrate President Bush

One of the reasons I got active in voicing my opinion against the Left was due to the hyperbole that I saw coming out of Hollywood. Kerry's stupidity and inaptitude is one thing that we have been focusing a lot of attention on lately, and rightfully so. But where have the Hollywood protesters gone that we heard so much of not so long ago?

One thing I firmly believe is that once those hypocrites discovered that there is a HUGE section of the American population that do not appreciate 1) slandering the President for all the world to see; 2) flying to Iraq while the United States of America is preparing for war (remember the human shields??); 3) meeting with Fidel Castro and calling him a "genius" and a "source of inspiration to the world"; and, 4) hypocrites trying to tell us "Don't do as I do, do as I say" for all of their "causes" while they continue to drive around in their SUVs (hey, I don't think there is anything wrong with an SUV, I own one...but these are the people that are screaming about them while they climb into their chauffeur driven limo...how many miles to the gallon does that get, Timmy?) - once they realized that the backlash of their outrageous behavior would affect their pocketbook...THEIR POCKETBOOK...they went into hiding.

The Creeps that populate Hollywood are cowards. Remember the first Oscars after 9-11? They had security up the ying-yang because they were so afraid for themselves. They are so quick to open their mouths with a tirade against President Bush but the very second they think their hide is in 'danger' (HA! what terrorist would go after those in this country that are supporting them??)...the moment they think THEY are gonna get hurt, they run whimpering back to their body guards.

Let me tell you one more thing about what I think of the Hollywood maggots. They want our money. They think they are ENTITLED to it. They throw around phrases like "McCarthyism" and they don't even know what they are talking about. This generation of actors has heard the McCarthy "story" like a nighttime lullaby, soaking up the hatred and loathing without knowing what it is that they hate. The only thing they know is - if they DON'T hate it - they won't work.

So, back to the original reason I am here tonight. Artists United WWW (AUWWW which means Artists United to Win Without War) is Mike Farrell's group and here is the list of his goons, primarily actors. It appears that AUWWW has joined with Moveon.org to create a new series of ads that will trash President Bush AGAIN.

It also appears that they are targeting Senator McCain who is from Arizona (the fact that they are writing to McCain is curious to me, and I am going to get to the bottom of this one). But my point is, these actors haven't gone away. Far from it. They are working in a very intense way to undermine everything we are doing to get President Bush re-elected and I think we need to pay very close attention to this group.

Muslims apologize for 9-11

This letter, posted on the Free Muslim Coalition Against Terrorism website, was a long time coming - but I am glad to see it.

Worth watching

Thanks to desertcat for this very moving 911 remembrance

These tributes are sometimes difficult to watch, but it is also very important that we NEVER FORGET what happened to our fellow countrymen that day and continues today with our men and women in the military in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The War on Terror is Far From being over


Our enemy

9-11

A lot has been written about what happened three years ago today. Everyone has their personal memory of exactly what they were doing when they heard the news. Mine is no different. Our sorrow eventually turned to anger and we were determined to avenge these brutal murders.

But today I am angry for another reason. This election is so critical for the future of not only our country but for our descendents as well. Election rhetoric is one thing, but we are still at war.

Today I read with horror the following: Campaigning in Missouri, Kerry accused the president of using the war on terror as a political tool to scare the American people.

"It is real, we've got a war," Kerry said. "We've got a problem but we should do more than just talk about it, try to scare people about it and make it a political issue."

NO, John Kerry, the problem is that YOU don't understand what really is going on here!

The horrible thing about this is that it was not on a US website but on the Hindustan Times – in India. Never think for one moment that the world is not watching what is going on here.
What John Kerry refuses to recognize is that there are still plenty of terrorists that are working to continue the horror of September 11, 2001.

Unbelievably, a group that calls themselves Al Muhajiroun praised Osama bin Laden.“He is my Muslim brother," Muhajiroun UK head Anjem Choudhury said. "We believe he is on the right path. We believe he is struggling. We believe he is leading Muslims on the right path." Spokesman Abu Sahlihah called the attacks "that magnificent operation carried out by the Mujahideen on September 11, 2001".

This is what we are still being threatened with!! September 11th was a battle in the bigger war on terror. The first attack on the World Trade Center was another. The barracks bombings and the October 2000 bombing of the destroyer USS Cole were more.

There are reports that Al Qaeda is planning underwater attacks; attacks on ships; that bin laden has bought a fleet of ships; that there will be attacks before the election in November. Looking at the gleeful faces and the celebration as the news of the September 11th attacks got out, it is impossible to ignore the fact that our enemies want us dead. This is war and we are the target.

President Bush has vowed that he will do whatever it takes to protect America and its citizens. President Bush is not, to quote Kerry, “just talking about it.” He has taken actions to thwart another disaster on our soil. President Bush told the American people right after September 11th that this war would be like no other. He also asked us to be patient even when it seemed like things weren’t being done or being done fast enough.

President Bush’s reminder of what happened three years ago is not a scare tactic. It is the reality of the world we live in today.

Dan Rather on life support...

Wolf Blitzer, CNN anchor and main stream media(MSM) elitist, has weighed in on the Memogate issue. Trying to paint this as a "yet another" confrontation with a Republican President, Blitzer ends his article as wimpy and limp as a wilted stalk of celery.

There is no retort. There is no defense. The truth of this matter is that someone...SOMEONE...forged these documents and the liberals, still foaming at the mouth and wanting to breathe life back into the Kerry campaign, jumped on the chance to 'expose' President Bush. They aren't ready to capitulate on this. They are still looking for even a shred of evidence to hold up as proof of the veracity of the forged documents...but they aren't going to find it.

The problem with lying is that once you begin it never ends. It continues to grow like a cancerous tumor and one day that lie begins to take on a life of its own. It is the deep, dark secret you try to hide from all visitors that suddenly lands on the doorstep with no warning just as you think you finally have it all secured...all of the loose ends tied up in neat little tidy knots...that unexpectedly begin to unravel right before your eyes.

Apparently the MSM are still in denial. Even at the end of Blitz's article he stated that Rather also said the possibility of issuing any kind of recant or apology was "not even discussed. Nor should it be."

The problem with that type of response is that it leaves you with nowhere to go. Rather has finally painted himself into the corner that has no escape. And this time I doubt if even CBS will be able to disentangle him from all of the deceit and lies.

Dan Rather has been biased for a LONG TIME

There is plenty of information all over the internet about Dan Rather and CBS so I won't duplicate it here. But, I am not the only one that has known about Rather's extreme bias and his efforts to influence his viewing audience.

If you remember, it was Dan Rather who went to Iraq on February 24, 2003 to interview Saddam Hussein.

Tom Marsland wrote an article at NewsMax about Rather Treasonous Dan and pointed out that Rather "called the mass murderer Hussein "Mr. President" and disrespectfully referred to his own President Bush as simply "Bush."

Tim Graham wrote about Rather's disgusting, unpatriotic and self-serving actions at National Review Online "Dan Rather's big interview with Saddam Hussein Wednesday night was not an exercise in social responsibility. It was a commercial opportunity, no more dignified than Martin Bashir exploiting Michael Jackson. It didn't put the American people first. It put Dan Rather first. On last night's shows alone, Rather was softer than ABC's Barbara Walters was with Robert Blake and CBS's Troy Roberts was with "preppy killer" Robert Chambers. These men were at worst small-time killers. Saddam Hussein is a mass murderer, a man who has children killed in front of their parents as a torture tactic. Rather called him "President Hussein" and "Mr. President," and sat cooperatively as he declared that he had won 100 percent of the last election. "100 percent," Rather repeated, with a tone that sounded like "you don't say."

And don't forget that it was Dan Rather, in 2001 when speaking to Imus who said "What happened was they [CBS management] got the willies, they got the Buckwheats. Their knees wobbled and we gave it up." Rather was telling Imus that it was HE who kept CBS from reporting on the Chandra Levy case, calling his bosses "buckwheats" when they decided to air coverage on the story against Rather's wishes.

At Rather Biased they have been documenting Rather's shameful behavior for a long time.

Dan Rather is a disgrace. Dan Rather is un-American.

In rememberance...

While the nation was having a good laugh at the expense of Florida’s hanging chads and butterfly ballots, Mohammed Atta and Marwan al Shehhi were there, in Florida, learning to drive commercial jetliners [and ram them into the World Trade Center towers] It will take a novelist to paint that broad canvas properly. It will take some deep political thinking to understand how the lackadaisical attitude toward government and the world helped leave the country so unready for the horror that Atta and Shehhi were preparing.
—Michael Oreskes, New York Times, October 21, 2001.

Ben Barnes is lying

So states his daughter claiming that her father is an opportunist, a big time fundraiser and Kerry supporter. Amy Barnes told WBAP's Mark Davis radio show in Dallas, Texas He denied this to me in 2000 that he did get Bush out [of Vietnam service]. Now he's saying he did.

Oh, and did I mention that Ben Barnes is also promoting his new book??

We all know what the "F" in Kerry's name stands for, don't we? FORGERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks to blogger happykappy for this one

Michael Moore Hates America

The long awaited documentary by Michael Wilson will be unveiled at the American Renaissance Film Festival in Dallas this weekend.

States Wilson, contrary to its title, Michael Moore Hates America isn’t a hatchet job on the filmmaker. It’s a journey across the nation where we meet celebrities, scholars and average folks alike, and we find out whether the American Dream is still alive! In the process, we’ll look at Michael Moore’s claims about the country, its people, and our way of life.

Wilson tried for months to get the smarmy Moore to talk to him, but the closest Wilson got was at a book signing event where Moore began shouting at Wilson, who was in the crowd. Have you noticed how Moore is able to trash anyone he hates but if the camera lens is turned on him he squeals like a stuck pig? Okay, I was not talking about his physical appearance - ~grin~

Wilson's movie should be a 'must see' - it will be for me.

Our Soldiers away from home....

It seems like we often don't think about our soldiers, men and women, that are away from home until it is one of our own that has gone to serve or if it is around the holidays.

Since the anniversary of September 11th is only hours away, I have found myself thinking about all of our military that are serving all over the world and trying to find a way to remind everyone about the sacrifices they are making hourly but also a way to honor their contributions to our precious freedoms.

I have listed some new links dedicated to our Men and Women in the Service and I will include links in this discussion area over the next few days so that our military forces will come back front and center on our radar screens.

If you have someone that is serving, send them a care package. If you don't personally know anyone, here is a link to a site created by Sergeant Brian Horn that is dedicated to sending our soldiers packages from home that lets them know that we haven't forgotten them. Even though Brian is no longer in Iraq, he continues this effort because he remembers what it is like to be so many miles from home.

Operation Shoebox encourages citizens to support their fighting men and women deployed overseas in these dangerous times. They currently have a a Christmas Stocking Project: We've got volunteers making Christmas stockings already. But we'll need hundreds more stockings. Can you help? It's not too early. Start work now and send the stockings to Operation ShoeBox.
Items we currently need: Snack foods, Gatorade, Cool Ties (available at Walmart). Can you help?


We are so lucky. They are on the job 24/7 which gives us time to sit here and bitch about...well...everything. But they are the reason we are still able to do exactly that. Don't get complacent, man. Focus. While you are looking for the remote, someone on the other side of the world is looking for the safety.

and now for some truth...

There are some really great sites with messages to us from the citizens of Iraq. They have discovered the blog and are sending us their messages of hope. The people of Iraq are thankful to the U.S. for their freedom; they are anxious to join the rest of the world that they can only now access through pictures and the internet. Here is just a sampling of what is out there...

This inspiring message from Iraq at a glance, a blog created by a dentist in Baghdad. Says A.Y.S., the author - "Let the world know the real Iraqi people, the people who look for peace and justice, security , freedom and democracy..not those criminals who are shown on the channels kidnapping and killing the innocents in the name of ‘resistance and Islam’…there is NO ‘resistance’ in Iraq, there are AlQaida, Saddamis, Arabs and criminals who are destroying our country and the MNF, ING, IP and the IRAQI PEOPLE are fighting them….OK?"

Another blog, Healing Iraq , has this message for the world: "Our collective voice and efforts are reaching wider audiences day by day exposing them to the situation on the ground by people whose lives are involved and directly affected by it. We are intent on healing iraq from decades of abuse and to make it through these difficult times into a new phase of democracy, freedom, and prosperity."

The Iraqi Pro-Democracy Party tells us this: "We believe that we represent an important segment of the Iraqi people that was never organized before under any category as a result of the oppression of the past regime."

Don't expect to hear any of this on the nightly news. If there aren't grizly pictures or distorted facts meant to discourage us in our support for our President and the Armed Forces that are fighting for both the American people and the Iraqi people, it will never show up on any of the talking heads scripts. It is a sad fact that in order to discover the good news and positive reinforcement in this process we are forced to dig for it. But the good news is out there. You just have to be persistent, find it and then bounce it out to the rest of the listening audience.

Kitty Kelley lying???

President Bush's former sister-in-law denied yesterday that she had given author Kitty Kelley any information about allegations of past drug use by Bush. According to this account in the Washington Post Sharon Bush, who is divorced from the president's brother Neil, said in a statement: "I categorically deny that I ever told Kitty Kelley that George W. Bush used cocaine at Camp David or that I ever saw him use cocaine at Camp David. When Kitty Kelley raised drug use at Camp David, I responded by saying something along the lines of, 'Who would say such a thing?'

Read this article and decide for yourself. Personally, I believe anyone BUT Kitty Kelley...

Hoo boy - Kerry - "WRONG"!!

Power Line has information on a 1984 press release from Kerry's Senate office deriding President Reagan while advocating cancellation of weapons programs.

Hinderaker properly states: It's worth noting, I think, that Kerry wasn't just wrong in 1984. He was willfully obtuse. He didn't understand that Communism was wobbling and could be put down for the count by an aggressive defense buildup, as Reagan did. Instead, believing that the Soviet Union was strong and thriving, Kerry took the far more dangerous view that we scarcely needed to defend ourselves anyway. It's hard to see how a politician could have a more consistent history of wrong-headedness, over more than three decades, than John Kerry.

John Kerry - patriot?

Henry Mark Holzer and Erika Holzer have an excellent piece defining in 34 different ways exactly what it is that makes a patriot.

A “patriot” is “a person who loves and loyally or zealously supports his own country.” (Webster’s New World Dictionary of the American Language).

When one adds up these facts, one has every right to conclude, as we have, that John Kerry has never been, and is not now, a patriot—and more: that to say otherwise, is merely to pay lip service

Co-chairman of Kerry Campaign tries to smear President Bush

It does seem incredible, but Ben Barnes really is NOT the dream witness when trying to do a hit piece for Kerry on President Bush tonight on CBS. Besides being the co-chair for Kerry, he has donated more than $500,000 to Kerry's campaign.

According to Front Page Magazine - after he was involved in a bribery and stock fraud scandal in the early 1970s,” wrote leftwing Mother Jones Magazine, Barnes “never held office again. He was involved with a number of banks and thrifts that were mentioned during the S&L crisis, and forced into bankruptcy when the Texas thrift industry cratered in the late 1980s.”
Lieutenant Governor Barnes, whose seemingly inexorable rise to political prominence was ended when his reputation was tainted by the scandal.

and again...'party of peace' attack
