For a moment lets forget about the crazies in the middle east who want to kill us. The battle lines are drawn and have been since 1972. Now the are shoreing up and getting ready to assualt one another. A new voice has been placed upon the Supreme court despite the feeble attempts of the far left. Justice Alito is the vote that will see a reversal to Roe v. Wade or uphold it as statute.

For me abortion is a very tough issue as being a man I never will be pregnant. This being said does this mean I have no voice on this matter. No, it just means it is a hard issue to conclude on.

Do I support abortion for teenage girls without parental notification? DEFINATELY NOT. This is a minor and the parents are held responsible legally and morally for this child.

Do I support arbitrary abortions for those who went out and had a little fun one weekend and now do not like the consequences? Nope ... time to grow up and accept responsibility.

Has there ever been a case when keeping the pregnancy has had a medical hazzard to the mother? This I am not sure of but in my mind I defenately think that emmotionally and mentally there has been detrement to the mother in certain cases.

For this reason I support abortions to a point. Let me explain before those of you get on your high horses and threaten me and call me a baby killer ( no referance to my time in the Marine Corps).

I do NOT SUPPORT ABORTION AS A MEANS OF BIRTH CONTROL! I do support abortion in the following instances however.
1) If a child has been the victem of rape or incest.
2) If the woman has been a victem of rape.
3) If it can be proven that the unborn child will have a life of suffering and pain do to a defect genetically or from abuse.

I feel that the emotional trauma of a woman who has been raped to have to live every day reliving this event by looking at the growing pregnancy should be gioven the option of an abortion rather then suffer the anguise if she has it. Of bareing a pregnancy to full term from a forced violent act upon her body.

As for just arbitraily women going to the doctor to abort an unwanted pregnancy .... well have they ever heard of birth control? It takes two to tangle and the two better take responsibility for thier actions.

It is only a question now of time as forces for and against abortion are lining up to take legal action against each other nation wide. Lets just hope that the frindge elements on both sides refrain from shooting at each other as they often do.

Its in all the head lines today. Democrates are feigning falsehoods on demestic socalled spying on American citizens by the Bush administration. Saying that it has never been tried before. Only the odasity of Bush and his demogodry is trying to create a police state. Heavy language from those who forget the past so easily.

Hoover of FBI and drag fame under John Kennedy spied domesticly without warrents on Martin Luther King Jr. Not to mention on everybody else. Franklin D. Roosevelt spied on Japanese and German disadents in America during WWII. Spying is not new.

However the thought by leftist of spying on possible leftist allies is just wrong in thier minds.

We do not have to look very far back into history, only a couple of years and see the hypocrasy of the leftist elite in thier attempts to, with out cause spy domestically on Americans.

The Clipper Project ... supported by then President Clinton and directed by Al. Gore. Just think what may have been if Gore had illegally siezed the presidency as democrates wanted.

Secret Documents: Hubbell Wanted Federal Access to Phones
Charles R. Smith
Thursday, Aug. 29, 2002
Al Gore once assured the American public that an Orwellian government would not monitor us. Even today, Al Gore will not claim that he planned to enable the government to tap every phone in the United States if it so desired.
Al Gore wanted to be Big Brother. In 1993, Vice President Al Gore spearheaded a project called "Clipper" which was designed to monitor America. Gore's leadership in this scheme to allow the Feds to have easy access to bug American telephones is all too well documented for him to deny.

"We also want to assure users of key escrow encryption products that they will not be subject to unauthorized electronic surveillance," wrote Al Gore in a 1994 memo to Congress.

"As we have done with the Clipper Chip, future key escrow schemes must contain safeguards to provide for key disclosures only under legal authorization and should have audit procedures to ensure the integrity of the system," wrote Gore.

Hubbell and a Secret Project

One document released by the Justice Dept. is a March 1993 Justice Dept. memo from Stephen Colgate, Assistant Attorney General for Administration, to Webster Hubbell.

In 1993, Webster Hubbell, the now convicted Rose office law partner of Hillary Clinton, served as the number two at the Justice Department. Both Gore and Janet Reno personally tasked Hubbell to run the Clipper project.

Colgate's 1993 memo to Hubbell provides the details of the Gore plan. According to the Colgate memo, Vice President Al Gore chaired a meeting with Hubbell, Reno, Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, and Leon Panetta in March 1993. The meeting was on the "AT&T Telephone Security Device".

In 1992, AT&T had developed secure telephones that the U.S. government could not tap. In response, AT&T was secretly paid by the Clinton administration to keep the secure phones out of the American market. According to Colgate's memo, the secure phones were simply too dangerous for American citizens.

"AT&T has developed a Data Encryption Standard (DES) product for use on telephones to provide security for sensitive conversations. The FBI, NSA and NSC want to purchase the first production run of these devices to prevent their proliferation. They are difficult to decipher and are a deterrent to wiretaps," Assistant Attorney General Colgate wrote to Webster Hubbell.

Secret Fund

The basic idea of the plan was to pay money to AT&T into using a National Security Agency (NSA) developed chip called CLIPPER inside its phones and computers. The Clipper chip would enable the Federal government to monitor both secure computer and telephone conversations.

Hubbell arranged for the entire production run of secure AT&T phones to be secretly purchased, using the Department of Justice "confiscation" fund supplied by the "drug war", in order to keep the purchase off the general books.

The project also included plans to "mandate" the Clipper chip into all U.S. homes and businesses. According to a secret March 1993 memo to Webster Hubbell, "FBI, NSA and NSC want to push legislation which would require all government agencies and eventually everyone in the U.S. to use a new public-key based cryptography method."

The plan to have access to every American's phones was justified in a SECRET memo to Webster Hubbell by the National Security Agency. According to Stewart Baker, NSA General Counsel, the super-secret agency "considered seeking legislation to give the government authority to regulate the manufacture or importation of encryption into the United States."

"But regulation or forbidding encryption would be a big step - and a controversial one. It seems prudent to try the less drastic voluntary approach first," noted NSA's Baker in his memo to Hubbell.

"It is also possible that competitors will not use CLIPPER and will tout their devices' lack of law enforcement access. If so, the government will have to face the harder question of whether to make key escrow mandatory," noted Baker in the SECRET memo.

"But that is a question the government would have to face today if AT&T introduced a successful non-key-escrow device. In addition to delaying the problem, getting AT&T to use CLIPPER voluntarily will give decision makers the advantage of real-life experience with key-escrow, which will provide a much better basis for deciding whether mandatory key-escrow is practicable."

Despite public statements to the contrary, and payouts to AT&T, the Clinton administration determined that mandatory CLIPPER chips were the only answer. According to a 1993 FBI memo to then Clinton national security advisor George Tenet, "technical solutions, such as they are, will only work if they are incorporated into all encryption products. To ensure that this occurs, legislation mandating the use of Government approved encryption products or adherence to Government encryption criteria is required."

Achilles Heel

However, according to secret FBI documents, the Clipper chip also had an "exploitable" feature. That "exploitable feature" was an Achilles heel.

In 1993, Benita Cooper, NASA Associate Administrator for Management Systems and Facilities, documented the fatal flaw in Gore's great computer-security idea.

"The [Clipper] Chip programmer is a device provided by the National Security Agency. There is no assurance, without scrutiny, that all keying material introduced during the chip programming is not already available to the NSA. Thus, not only do the escrow key agents have a decryption capability, the NSA also retains this capability," wrote Ms. Cooper in her rejection of the Clipper chip for NASA.

"Compromise of the NSA keys, such as in the Walker case, could compromise the entire EES [Escrowed Encryption Standard] system," concluded Ms. Cooper.

Despite the public assurances by Al Gore that the Clipper project would require legal authority to monitor subjects, it was clear at the technical level that the chip did not require any authority other than a secret okay from the NSA.

Criminals and Secrets

The secret Clipper project also had another flaw. A corrupt individual led it. In April of 1994, Hubbell resigned from the Justice Department under allegations of fraud.

Even though Hubbell was gone, the access-to-your-computer idea did not die. According to the 1996 report to V.P. Gore by then CIA Director Deutch, Ms. Reno proposed an all out Federal take-over of the computer security industry.

The Justice Department, proposed "legislation that would ... ban the import and domestic manufacture, sale or distribution of encryption that does not have key recovery. Janet Reno and Louis Freeh are deeply concerned about the spread of encryption. Pervasive use of encryption destroys the effectiveness of wiretapping, which supplies much of the evidence used by FBI and Justice. They support tight controls, for domestic use."

If Al Gore had become President, it is certain that the mandatory government phone and computer bug legislation would have become reality along with another term for Louis Freeh as FBI director.

As it is, the follow-on to Clipper authorized by the Freeh led FBI is called Carnivore. Carnivore is simply a system to monitor the keystrokes on a target computer, and it is similar in construction to many virus programs that circulate on the Internet. The Carnivore system is so imperfect that it gathers unneeded, and sometimes, unwarranted information that must be screened out.

OH BUT WAIT DOMESTIC SPYING IS ONLY A REPUBLICAN/CONSERVATIVE IDEA.

AN UPDATED REPORT AND A LITTLE MORE INDEPTH IS HERE ON THIS TOPIC.

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2006/1/17/141106.shtml

Al Gore Led Effort to Tap Every Phone in America
Charles R. Smith
Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2006

Simply stated, the nexus of the long term problem is how can the government sustain its technical ability to accomplish electronic surveillance in an advanced telecommunications environment," states the TOP SECRET report prepared by Gore's Interagency Working Group.

The documented truth is that America was to be given no choice but to be monitored by Big Brother Al. This awful conclusion is backed by several other documents. One such document released by the Justice Department is a March 1993 memo from Stephen Colgate, Assistant Attorney General for Administration.

According to the Colgate memo, Vice President Al Gore chaired a meeting with Hillary Clinton crony Webster Hubbell, Janet Reno, Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and Leon Panetta in March 1993. The topic of the meeting was the "AT&T Telephone Security Device."

According to Colgate, AT&T had developed secure telephones the U.S. government could not tap. The Clinton-Gore administration secretly contracted with AT&T to keep the phones off the market. Colgate's memo noted that the administration was determined to prevent the American public from having private phone conversations.


Al Gore quickly embraced the Clipper chip and the concept of monitoring America at all costs. In 1994, Gore wrote a glowing letter supporting the Clipper chip and the government-approved wiretap design.

"As we have done with the Clipper Chip, future key escrow schemes must contain safeguards to provide for key disclosures only under legal authorization and should have audit procedures to ensure the integrity of the system. We also want to assure users of key escrow encryption products that they will not be subject to unauthorized electronic surveillance," wrote Gore in his July 20, 1994 letter to Representative Maria Cantwell.

However, Gore lied. In 1994, federal officials were keenly aware that the Clipper chip design did not have safeguards against unauthorized surveillance. In fact, NASA turned down the Clipper project because the space agency knew of the flawed design.

In 1993, Benita A. Cooper, NASA Associate Administrator for Management Systems and Facilities, wrote: "There is no way to prevent the NSA from routinely monitoring all [Clipper] encrypted traffic. Moreover, compromise of the NSA keys, such as in the Walker case, could compromise the entire [Clipper] system."

Ms. Cooper referred to Soviet spy John Walker, who is serving life in prison for disclosing U.S. Navy secret codes. In 1993 Ms. Cooper did not know of Clinton Chinagate scandals, the Lippo Group, John Huang or Webster Hubbell, but her prophetic prediction was not so remarkable in retrospect.

Yet, Al Gore pressed ahead, continuing to support a flawed design despite warnings that the design could "compromise" every computer in the U.S.

A 1996 secret memo on a secret meeting of CIA Directer John Deutch, FBI Director Louis Freeh and Attorney General Janet Reno states, "Last summer, the Vice President agreed to explore public acceptance of a key escrow policy but did not rule out other approaches, although none seem viable at this point."

According to the 1996 report to V.P. Gore by then CIA Director Deutch, Reno proposed an all-out federal takeover of the computer security industry. The Justice Department proposed "legislation that would ... ban the import and domestic manufacture, sale or distribution of encryption that does not have key recovery. Janet Reno and Louis Freeh are deeply concerned about the spread of encryption. Pervasive use of encryption destroys the effectiveness of wiretapping, which supplies much of the evidence used by FBI and Justice. They support tight controls, for domestic use."

Share With China, Syria and Pakistan

Declassified documents from the CIA and the U.S. State Department also show that the Clinton-Gore administration considered sharing Clipper code "keys" with foreign powers including China, Syria and Pakistan.

"Are Clipper devices likely to be permitted for importation and use in the host country?" asked a secret 1993 CIA cable addressed to the U.S. embassies in Beijing, Damascus and Islamabad.

"Would the host country demand joint key holding or exclusive rights to Clipper keys for law enforcement or intelligence purposes?"

The secret 1993 CIA cable is one of 69 documents released by the U.S. State Department on the secret Clipper chip project. The documents were forced from the State Department through the Freedom of Information Act.

In addition, the State Department refused to release 12 documents as classified "in the interest of national defense or foreign relations." The documents show that the Clinton-Gore administration considered sharing secret Clipper surveillance keys with China and other hostile powers in order to monitor worldwide communications for "law enforcement" purposes.

Al Gore called the Bush anti-terrorism program "a threat to the very structure of our government." The former vice president's memory of his own threat to American privacy is flawed and filled with lies. I only hope that Gore elects to come clean with documented history. Until then he can fade into the oblivion of a lying, second-rate ex-presidential candidate.


THIS IS JUST SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ARTICALE BUT IT DOES RAISE THE QUESTIONS AGAIN OF WHERE GORE AND CLINTONS LOYALTIES LIE. WHO THEY DEAL WITH , AND WHY DID THEY WANT TO SPY ON AMERICANS.

SEE IT ISN'T A REPUBLICAN OPPRESION THING ... THE DEMS WANTED TO GO FURTHER THEN TRY TO STOP TERRORISTS.

Read Oliver Norths column on the growing problems south of the boarder. Look at the hatred being spread by leftist activism in Central and South America. Support being given by oppressive leaders like Castro and Chavez to mentally unstable American activists like Belefante and Sheehan.

Indignation from countries who think it is their right to come and go freely from the United States and that we Amewrica owe them something. If we talk about changeing immigration and securing our southern boarder all of a sudden we are an evil empire that has to be stopped.


From the Counterterrorism blog some more information as to why the boarder has to be secured and yet another reason why Latin America is NOT our FRIEND:

Columbia Passport Ring Bust Another Reason to End Visa Waiver Program
Repeat after me, "The Visa Waiver Program endangers our nation and our citizens!" If you don't agree with that statement, or if you do not understand the reason I am this emphatic about the Visa Waiver Program, I want you to read this CNN article about the bust of the Columbian fake passport ring. The Visa Waiver Program was designed to make it easier for aliens to enter the United States. It was implemented in segments nearly 20 years ago, long before the attacks on the World Trade Center of 1993 and 2001. As a result of those attacks and the other attacks launched by terrorists against our nation our citizens have seen a number of measures that have been implemented in the name of national security. The administration has engaged in a controversial domestic surveillance program. Here in New York trucks and other vehicles are often searched by law enforcement officials as a matter of routine. We are warned that telling a 'joke' that makes reference to a bomb or other such weapon at an airport may get you arrested. It is more difficult to obtain driver's licenses. Because Richard Reid, the so-called "shoe bomber" concealed an explosive device in his shoe, we must all remove our shoes to make certain we haven't concealed a bomb in our shoes. However, Mr. Reid was a citizen of Great Britain and as such was eligible to enter the United States without first obtaining a visa; yet the Visa Waiver Program is still alive and well facilitating the entry of aliens from 26 countries plus Canada into the United States.

It is worth noting that one of the defendants in this investigation has been identified as being a dual national; Colombian and Palestinian. Our officials keep downplaying the crisis we face at our nation's borders whether we are talking about the armed incursion of possible Mexican soldiers escorting drug loads into our country or the possibility that terrorists may have had their entry into our country facilitated by the insane Visa Waiver Program. This is particularly difficult to comprehend because the President has been traveling around the country to make a case for his domestic wiretapping/surveillance program. Certainly the potential that terrorists may have entered our country would give his arguments greater credibility, yet his absolute and highly obvious intentions to leave our borders wide-open seem to override his desire to justify his surveillance program.

DUEL CITIZENSHIP, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS INVOLVED. A GROWING ANTIAMERICAN SENTIMENT FROM THE ELECTED COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST IN THE SOUTH. SUPPORT FOR KNOWN RADICALS AND ORGANIZATIONS. THERE IS A GROWING PROBLEM AND IT ISN'T LIMITED TO THE MIDDLE EAST WITH ISLAMOFACISTS.

THE HAVENOTS WANT WHAT WE AND OUR FOREFATHERS BUSTED BUTT TO EARN AND NOW HAVE. THEY WANT IT FOR FREE AND WILL TRY TO TAKE IT BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE. WAKE UP AMERICA.

The Next Crisis

by Oliver North


January 12, 2006
Washington, D.C. – Official Washington has the attention span of a fruit fly. A “crisis d’jour” momentarily captures the attention of the so-called mainstream media, politicians and government bureaucrats. For a few days – occasionally for a few weeks – the potentates on the Potomac will focus on “the problem,” hold hearings, introduce some legislation, devise a way to spend more of our tax dollars, initiate an “investigation” – and move on when they are “shocked,” “stunned,” and/or “surprised” by the next catastrophe or scandal. Like a pan of soup on a hot stove, no one seems witting, willing or able to turn down the heat until the pot boils over.

Bush administration officials and lawmakers, preoccupied with leak and lobbying investigations, the Alito confirmation hearings, a mining disaster and the war in Iraq seem oblivious to what is happening south of the Rio Grande. Absent the urgent attention of some astute officials in our nation’s capital, the Latin American pressure cooker won’t just boil over – it will explode.

Most Americans see the burgeoning crisis to our south as simply a problem of illegal immigration. Reflecting that sentiment, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation to strengthen border enforcement before going home for Christmas. This week, most Latin American diplomats lined up to condemn the proposal. Mexico's Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez called it "stupid and underhanded." Few in Washington paid any attention.

In fact, the flow of illegals across our southern border will only get worse if Washington continues to ignore the tell-tale warnings coming from the region. The most recent “leading indicators” of political turmoil:

The December 18th election of socialist-cocoa grower Evo Morales as president of Bolivia was hailed in the European and Latin press as a great victory for “democracy.” In fact, Morales’ campaign for office closely paralleled the America-bashing tactics used so successfully by Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez.

Promising to become Washington’s “nightmare,” Mr. Morales is now on a global “victory lap” which began – appropriately – in Cuba. On arrival in Havana aboard one of Castro’s private aircraft, the Bolivian told an obediently cheering crowd: “I dreamt of joining the anti-imperialist struggle of Fidel and the Cuban people.”

Mr. Morales, 46, then jaunted off to Caracas for a love fest with the equally militant Hugo Chavez who pledged to invest $30 million to develop Bolivia's considerable natural gas reserves and strengthen socialist domestic programs. The Bolivian head of state then set out for Beijing where he stood beside communist-Chinese President Hu Jintao in the Great Hall of the People and described his hosts as the "political, ideological and programmatic ally of the Bolivian people." Mr. Morales pledged cooperation with Beijing, which wants access to the country's gas reserves, making Bolivia the latest in a string of nations in our hemisphere to turn away from Washington and head East.

Not to be out-shone by his pupil, Mr. Chavez himself made news. Making good on his promise to ship discounted home heating oil to “Americans made poor by Bush” – Venezuela’s state-owned oil company – Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. delivered another shipload of a promised 25-million gallons of fuel to New England. The gesture received far more publicity than his endorsement of Iran’s decision to resume refining nuclear material that could be used for weapons production.

Mr. Chavez – awash in American petro-dollars – has not only sought closer relations with Tehran and Beijing – but is now actively supporting the cause of any anti-U.S. movement he can find in the southern hemisphere – not a tough task in a region where 61 percent of the people harbor anti-American sentiment. In Nicaragua, Mr. Chavez has found a kindred spirit in ousted Marxist dictator, Daniel Ortega. If the well-oiled Chavez money machine isn’t deterred, Caracas could well buy the next president in Managua. If that happens, expect the tsunami of economic and political refugees across our southern border to continue rising.

The “Chavez problem,” the Morales promise to promote cocoa harvesting, the growing Iranian and Chinese influence to our south, the potential collapse of democracy and free enterprise in Central America – all argue for immediate attention from Washington’s distracted policy makers. None of these conditions are intractable – yet. By far, the easiest “fix” is to focus on the upcoming elections in Nicaragua – and help the real forces for democracy to flourish in the elections this fall. It could prove to be the first step in reversing a decade-long decline in U.S. influence – and help prevent the “next crisis” from overwhelming our southern border.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - U.S. peace activist Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq, said Saturday she is strongly considering running for office against U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein because the California Democrat will not support calls to immediately bring troops home.

Sheehan, who was visiting Venezuela for the World Social Forum, along with other anti-war and anti-globalization activists, said she has been thinking of challenging Feinstein for some time.

Sheehan, 48, earlier criticized the veteran senator for not immediately backing a filibuster of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito.

Feinstein announced Friday she would support that filibuster, the same day Sheehan issued a statement saying she would run against the senator if she didn't take a harder line. Democrats fear Alito would shift the court rightward on issues including abortion and the death penalty.

Sheehan and other peace activists met for two hours Saturday with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who is a fierce critic of Bush and the Iraq war. Sheehan said she was impressed by Chavez's sincerity.

"Our president won't even take five minutes to meet with me," she said, adding Chavez was "really excited" to hear she was considering running for the Senate.

"He said, why don't I run for president?...I just laughed."

GOOD OL CINDY IS ENTHRALLED WITH HER LEFTIST CELEBRITY STATUS. BEING PLAYED BY ANTI AMERICAN LEADERS IN FORIEGN NATIONS THEN FEINSTEIN CAVES AT THE THREAT OF A SENIAL GRIEVING WOMAN WHO THREATENS TO RUN AGAINST HER IN THE NEXT ELECTION. TALK ABOUT PANDERING TO THE SQUEEKY WHEEL.

Here it is two days untill President Bush gives the state of the union speach yet there are those who already are examining and disputing what he said. First i want to know how they can dispute what he said when he hasn't said anything yet. Next Why is it that the other party depending in who is in the White House contridicts what is said.

Have you ever looked back at some of the past rebuttles? They are always naysayers full of doom on how the present administration is leading us down the road to destruction.

Recently it is the far left of the Democratic party that throws out absurdities and falsehoods that are laughable. Laughable unless you belong to the far left and are caught up in the vast right wing conspirocy that they claim exisits to eliminate personal freedoms and liberties.

The Truth About the State of our Union
by Dennis J. Kucinich

The facts are clear. Our economy is struggling and leaving tens of millions of Americans behind. According to the non-partisan National Journal, since President Bush first stood before Congress and the nation in 2001, the median income in this country has decreased, the jobless rate has jumped from 3.9% to 4.9% and the number of families living in poverty has increased from 8.7% to 10.2%. Our trade deficit has doubled. Inflation has gone up. Personal bankruptcies have gone up. Consumer debt has gone up. College tuition has gone up. And, the price of gas has gone up. All the while, this Administration has turned a $128 billion federal budget surplus into a $319 billion deficit.

Today, almost 6 million more Americans do not have any health insurance than when President Bush took office. In total, over 45.5 million Americans, or over 15% of our total population, have no health care coverage at all.

During his 2003 address, President Bush told the nation that Saddam Hussein "had biological weapons sufficient to produce over 25,000 liters of anthrax", "materials sufficient to produce more than 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin", "as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent" and "upwards of 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents".
(OH YES THERE IS MORE AS WELL. THE UNITED NATIONS EVEN AFTER WE STORMED INTO BAHGDAD DOCUMENTED THESE AGENTS.)

Today, almost three years after the start of the President's war of choice, we know Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, had no connection to al-Qaeda and posed no threat to our nation. Yet, our armed forces are bogged down in the middle of civil war that our own generals say cannot be won by military force. Our presence in Iraq is counterproductive and has cost the lives of over 2,200 US troops and $250 billion.
(A CLEAR FALSEHOOD SPREAD BY THE LEFT. DONE IN OREDER TO DISCREDIT THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.KEEP REPETEING THE LIE AND PEOPLE BELIEVE. OUR TROOPS ARE FAR FROM BOGGED DOWN WINNING THE HEARTS OF THE IRQI PEOPLE AT EVERY TURN. BUILDING SELF ESTEEM AND AN INFRASTRUCTURE IRAQ HAS NOT SEEN IN DECADES. PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR ALL, BOYS AND GIRLS. THE OPPERTUNITY TO START THIER OWN BUSINESSES AND INDEPENDANT LIVES.)

President Bush has delivered four State of the Union addresses since the attacks on our nation on 9/11. In four speeches, the President has never once mentioned Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the terror attacks on this nation. The status of the FBI's most wanted man apparently is not important to the state of our union. Yet, in the same four speeches, President Bush has mentioned Saddam Hussein 24 times, and Iraq 78 times.
(HMMM, WELL OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS IRAQ AND SADDAM HAVE BEEN THE PRIORITY, IF INFORMATION ON OSAMMA WAS TO BE RELEASED THE MSM WOULD HAVE BLABBED ANY AND ALL OPERATIONS TO HIM AND HIS PEOPLE. FACE FACTS OSAMA HAS NOT BEEN FORGOTTEN EXCEPT BY THE LEFT.)

President Bush used the opening of his 2003 State of the Union to praise the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. This year our nation, and the world, saw the result of the failure of this massive reorganization of our government. As Katrina rolled ashore, destroying large cities and small towns in four states, it was FEMA, once an independent cabinet level agency--but now rolled into Department of Homeland Security--that failed to react. The searing image of thousands of Americans stranded without food and water dying on American streets will be the lasting legacy of the Department of Homeland Security, not a reorganized government "mobilizing against the threats of a new era" as the President described in his speech.
(THIS PART OF KISINBITCHES SPEACH AND RANT ARE JUST INTOLERABLE. MAY SEC. BROWN LIVE IN SHAME FOR GIVING THE LEFT AN EXCUSE FOR THIER LACK OF ACTION DURING KATRINA. FACTS ARE FACTS. LOUISIANNA GOVENOR BLANCO WAS COMPLETELY INEPT IN HER FIRST RESPONSE. MAYOR RACIAL NAGIN WAS EVEN WORSE . THEN HIS RACIAL SLURS AFTERWARDS ON THE REBUILDING GET A FREE PASS.

MORE WORK IS NEEDED AND THE OPEN BOARDER FREE TRADE RADICALS NEED TO BE REASONED WITH ON THE DANGER OF THE SOUTHERN BOARDER. OVERALL HOMELAND SECURITY IS BETTER.)

In his 2004 and 2005 addresses, the President spent a considerable amount of time advocating policies that would roll back much of the social progress made since the New Deal. In 2004, the President touted a Medicare prescription drug bill that will fatten the pockets of the pharmaceutical industry, endangering the future finances of the entire Medicare program, while leaving seniors confused and empty handed as they try to fill their prescriptions under the new plan. In 2005, the President used his address to promote his plan strip seniors of the guaranteed promise of Social Security, and replace it with a risky scheme to gamble their future in the stock market.
(ROLL BACK SOCIAL PROGRESS? MORE LIKE TRY AND STOP THE NEVER ENDING HANDOUTS WHILE PUNISHING THOSE WHO ACHIEVE. PROPOSEING IDEAS AND PLANS TO CORRECT A SOCIAL SECURITY NIGHTMARE THAT WILL CRIPPLE THE NEXT GENERATION AND DENY THEM ANY OF THIER HARD EARNED MONIES BECAUSE IT WAS GIVEN AWAY TO LIBERAL WELFARE PROGRAMS AIDING IN THE EVER INCREASEING WELFARE STATE. WHAT PLAN DO YOU PROPOSE OH WISE DEMOCRATES. HOW DO YOU PLAN TO PREVENT AN INCREASE OF TAXES TO PAY FOR YOUR RETIREMENT AT THE HANDS OF THE YOUNG.)

What the President has in store for his message this year is not known yet. But, we do know the President Bush will speak in glowing terms about the state of our union. The truth is the state of our union is in great peril. This Administration is conducting a war with no end in Iraq, illegally spying on Americans at home, overseeing an economy that is increasingly leaving more and more Americans behind and abandoning Gulf in their hour of great need.
(OH AN ADMITTAL THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE PRESIDENT WILL SAY YET WE HAVE EXAMINED AND LOOKED AT HIS PREDETERMINED REBUTTLE AS IF IT WAS SET IN STONE. YES HE IS RIGHT THE STATE OF THE UNION IS IN GREAT PERIL. WITH ENIMIES WORLD WIDE, AND THE KEEPERS OF THE SOUTHERN GATE ASLEEP PROPPING OPEN THE DOOR TO A LARGER MORE VIOLANT ATTACK. THE FACT WE ARE GIVING AID TO BUDDING PEACEFUL DEMOCRACIES AROUND THE WORLD WHILE PROTECTING THE WEAK. OUR GOVERNMENT IS NOT LEAVING ITS PEOPLE BEHIND ... CERTAIN FACTIONS ARE LEAVING THIS COUNTRY IN THE LURCH TO PROMOTE THIER RADICAL ADGENDA.)

If recent history is any precedent, then next week we should see more of the same old dance around reality that has been the hallmark of President Bush's annual address.
(THATS FOR SURE ... THE SAME OLD SONG AND DANCE /SPIN, HALF TRUTHS FROM THE PARTY NOT IN POWER TRYING TO SCORE POLITICAL POINTS IN THE NEXT ELECTION.)

With the rhetoric from the left, peaceniks and the ever lieing Islamofacist. Lets look back at some of the history as to what is still going on today.

EXCERPTS FROM: The Real History of the Crusades
By Thomas F. Madden



Christians in the eleventh century were not paranoid fanatics. Muslims really were gunning for them. While Muslims can be peaceful, Islam was born in war and grew the same way. From the time of Mohammed, the means of Muslim expansion was always the sword. Muslim thought divides the world into two spheres, the Abode of Islam and the Abode of War. Christianity—and for that matter any other non-Muslim religion—has no abode. Christians and Jews can be tolerated within a Muslim state under Muslim rule. But, in traditional Islam, Christian and Jewish states must be destroyed and their lands conquered. When Mohammed was waging war against Mecca in the seventh century, Christianity was the dominant religion of power and wealth. As the faith of the Roman Empire, it spanned the entire Mediterranean, including the Middle East, where it was born. The Christian world, therefore, was a prime target for the earliest caliphs, and it would remain so for Muslim leaders for the next thousand years.

With enormous energy, the warriors of Islam struck out against the Christians shortly after Mohammed’s death. They were extremely successful. Palestine, Syria, and Egypt—once the most heavily Christian areas in the world—quickly succumbed. By the eighth century, Muslim armies had conquered all of Christian North Africa and Spain. In the eleventh century, the Seljuk Turks conquered Asia Minor (modern Turkey), which had been Christian since the time of St. Paul. The old Roman Empire, known to modern historians as the Byzantine Empire, was reduced to little more than Greece. In desperation, the emperor in Constantinople sent word to the Christians of western Europe asking them to aid their brothers and sisters in the East.

That is what gave birth to the Crusades. They were not the brainchild of an ambitious pope or rapacious knights but a response to more than four centuries of conquests in which Muslims had already captured two-thirds of the old Christian world. At some point, Christianity as a faith and a culture had to defend itself or be subsumed by Islam. The Crusades were that defense.

Pope Urban II called upon the knights of Christendom to push back the conquests of Islam at the Council of Clermont in 1095. The response was tremendous. Many thousands of warriors took the vow of the cross and prepared for war. Why did they do it? The answer to that question has been badly misunderstood. In the wake of the Enlightenment, it was usually asserted that Crusaders were merely lacklands and ne’er-do-wells who took advantage of an opportunity to rob and pillage in a faraway land. The Crusaders’ expressed sentiments of piety, self-sacrifice, and love for God.

During the past two decades, computer-assisted charter studies have demolished that contrivance. Scholars have discovered that crusading knights were generally wealthy men with plenty of their own land in Europe. Nevertheless, they willingly gave up everything to undertake the holy mission. Crusading was not cheap. Even wealthy lords could easily impoverish themselves and their families by joining a Crusade. They did so not because they expected material wealth (which many of them had already) but because they hoped to store up treasure where rust and moth could not corrupt. They were keenly aware of their sinfulness and eager to undertake the hardships of the Crusade as a penitential act of charity and love. Europe is littered with thousands of medieval charters attesting to these sentiments, charters in which these men still speak to us today if we will listen. Of course, they were not opposed to capturing booty if it could be had. But the truth is that the Crusades were notoriously bad for plunder. A few people got rich, but the vast majority returned with nothing.
(NOTE, THE VAST MAJORITY RETURNED WITH NOTHING.)

Urban II gave the Crusaders two goals, both of which would remain central to the eastern Crusades for centuries. The first was to rescue the Christians of the East. As his successor, Pope Innocent III, later wrote:

How does a man love according to divine precept his neighbor as himself when, knowing that his Christian brothers in faith and in name are held by the perfidious Muslims in strict confinement and weighed down by the yoke of heaviest servitude, he does not devote himself to the task of freeing them? ...Is it by chance that you do not know that many thousands of Christians are bound in slavery and imprisoned by the Muslims, tortured with innumerable torments?
(HMMMM, SOUND FAMILIAR ... THE SUDAN AND WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY.)

The second goal was the liberation of Jerusalem and the other places made holy by the life of Christ. The word crusade is modern. Medieval Crusaders saw themselves as pilgrims, performing acts of righteousness on their way to the Holy Sepulcher. The Crusade indulgence they received was canonically related to the pilgrimage indulgence. This goal was frequently described in feudal terms. When calling the Fifth Crusade in 1215, Innocent III wrote:

Consider most dear sons, consider carefully that if any temporal king was thrown out of his domain and perhaps captured, would he not, when he was restored to his pristine liberty and the time had come for dispensing justice look on his vassals as unfaithful and traitors...unless they had committed not only their property but also their persons to the task of freeing him? ...And similarly will not Jesus Christ, the king of kings and lord of lords, whose servant you cannot deny being, who joined your soul to your body, who redeemed you with the Precious Blood...condemn you for the vice of ingratitude and the crime of infidelity if you neglect to help Him?

The reconquest of Jerusalem, therefore, was not colonialism but an act of restoration and an open declaration of one’s love of God.
(THE FREEING OF JERUSALEM FOR ALL TO WORSHIP IN. NOW THE PALESTINIANS WANT JERUSALEM AS THIER CAPITOL AND A BAN ON WHO GETS TO VISIT AND PREY. A REPEAT OF OLD HATREDS AND BIASES.)

It is often assumed that the central goal of the Crusades was forced conversion of the Muslim world. Nothing could be further from the truth. From the perspective of medieval Christians, Muslims were the enemies of Christ and His Church. It was the Crusaders’ task to defeat and defend against them. That was all. Muslims who lived in Crusader-won territories were generally allowed to retain their property and livelihood, and always their religion. Indeed, throughout the history of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, Muslim inhabitants far outnumbered the Catholics. It was not until the 13th century that the Franciscans began conversion efforts among Muslims. But these were mostly unsuccessful and finally abandoned. In any case, such efforts were by peaceful persuasion, not the threat of violence.
(A PEACEFUL CONVERSION AT ONES ON DESIRE. SOMETHING YOU WILL NOT FIND IN THE MUSLIM INVASION OF EASTERN EUROPE BY THE TURKS OR OTHER MULLAHS FROM THE EAST. YOU EITHER CONVERTED AND BECAME A SECOND CLASS CITIZEN OR YOU DIED.)

The Crusades were wars, so it would be a mistake to characterize them as nothing but piety and good intentions. Like all warfare, the violence was brutal (although not as brutal as modern wars). There were mishaps, blunders, and crimes. These are usually well-remembered today. During the early days of the First Crusade in 1095, a ragtag band of Crusaders led by Count Emicho of Leiningen made its way down the Rhine, robbing and murdering all the Jews they could find. Without success, the local bishops attempted to stop the carnage. In the eyes of these warriors, the Jews, like the Muslims, were the enemies of Christ. Plundering and killing them, then, was no vice. Indeed, they believed it was a righteous deed, since the Jews’ money could be used to fund the Crusade to Jerusalem. But they were wrong, and the Church strongly condemned the anti-Jewish attacks.

Fifty years later, when the Second Crusade was gearing up, St. Bernard frequently preached that the Jews were not to be persecuted:

Ask anyone who knows the Sacred Scriptures what he finds foretold of the Jews in the Psalm. "Not for their destruction do I pray," it says. The Jews are for us the living words of Scripture, for they remind us always of what our Lord suffered.... Under Christian princes they endure a hard captivity, but "they only wait for the time of their deliverance."
(JEWS NOT TO BE PERSECUTED ... WOW WILL ISLAMOFACISTS EVER SAY THIS? WERE THE JEWS IN THE MIDDLE EAST EVER GIVEN A CHANCE TO PRACTICE THEIR BELIEFS? NOPE, NOT UNDER ISLAMIC LAW.)

By any reckoning, the First Crusade was a long shot. There was no leader, no chain of command, no supply lines, no detailed strategy. It was simply thousands of warriors marching deep into enemy territory, committed to a common cause. Many of them died, either in battle or through disease or starvation. It was a rough campaign, one that seemed always on the brink of disaster. Yet it was miraculously successful. By 1098, the Crusaders had restored Nicaea and Antioch to Christian rule. In July 1099, they conquered Jerusalem and began to build a Christian state in Palestine. The joy in Europe was unbridled. It seemed that the tide of history, which had lifted the Muslims to such heights, was now turning.

When we think about the Middle Ages, it is easy to view Europe in light of what it became rather than what it was. The colossus of the medieval world was Islam, not Christendom. The Crusades are interesting largely because they were an attempt to counter that trend. But in five centuries of crusading, it was only the First Crusade that significantly rolled back the military progress of Islam. It was downhill from there.

When the Crusader County of Edessa fell to the Turks and Kurds in 1144, there was an enormous groundswell of support for a new Crusade in Europe. It was led by two kings, Louis VII of France and Conrad III of Germany, and preached by St. Bernard himself. It failed miserably. Most of the Crusaders were killed along the way. Those who made it to Jerusalem only made things worse by attacking Muslim Damascus, which formerly had been a strong ally of the Christians. In the wake of such a disaster, Christians across Europe were forced to accept not only the continued growth of Muslim power but the certainty that God was punishing the West for its sins. Lay piety movements sprouted up throughout Europe, all rooted in the desire to purify Christian society so that it might be worthy of victory in the East.

Crusading in the late twelfth century, therefore, became a total war effort. Every person, no matter how weak or poor, was called to help. Warriors were asked to sacrifice their wealth and, if need be, their lives for the defense of the Christian East. On the home front, all Christians were called to support the Crusades through prayer, fasting, and alms. Yet still the Muslims grew in strength. Saladin, the great unifier, had forged the Muslim Near East into a single entity, all the while preaching jihad against the Christians. In 1187 at the Battle of Hattin, his forces wiped out the combined armies of the Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem and captured the precious relic of the True Cross. Defenseless, the Christian cities began surrendering one by one, culminating in the surrender of Jerusalem on October 2. Only a tiny handful of ports held out.

The response was the Third Crusade. It was led by Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa of the German Empire, King Philip II Augustus of France, and King Richard I Lionheart of England. By any measure it was a grand affair, although not quite as grand as the Christians had hoped. The aged Frederick drowned while crossing a river on horseback, so his army returned home before reaching the Holy Land. Philip and Richard came by boat, but their incessant bickering only added to an already divisive situation on the ground in Palestine. After recapturing Acre, the king of France went home, where he busied himself carving up Richard’s French holdings. The Crusade, therefore, fell into Richard’s lap. A skilled warrior, gifted leader, and superb tactician, Richard led the Christian forces to victory after victory, eventually reconquering the entire coast. But Jerusalem was not on the coast, and after two abortive attempts to secure supply lines to the Holy City, Richard at last gave up. Promising to return one day, he struck a truce with Saladin that ensured peace in the region and free access to Jerusalem for unarmed pilgrims. But it was a bitter pill to swallow. The desire to restore Jerusalem to Christian rule and regain the True Cross remained intense throughout Europe.
(HMMM .... GO FIGURE THE FRENCH MESSED THIS UP AS WELL IN THIER GREED FOR WEALTH AND LAND. WANTING TO BE A WORLD LEADER IN ALL THINGS POLITICAL AND ECONOMICAL IN EUROPE. SOUND FAMILIAR ... SAME THING TODAY UNDER THE LEFTIST SOCIALIST OF FRANCES PRESENT GOVERNMENT.)

The Crusades of the 13th century were larger, better funded, and better organized. But they too failed. The Fourth Crusade (1201-1204) ran aground when it was seduced into a web of Byzantine politics, which the Westerners never fully understood. They had made a detour to Constantinople to support an imperial claimant who promised great rewards and support for the Holy Land. Yet once he was on the throne of the Caesars, their benefactor found that he could not pay what he had promised. Thus betrayed by their Greek friends, in 1204 the Crusaders attacked, captured, and brutally sacked Constantinople, the greatest Christian city in the world. Pope Innocent III, who had previously excommunicated the entire Crusade, strongly denounced the Crusaders. But there was little else he could do. The tragic events of 1204 closed an iron door between Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox, a door that even Pope John Paul II has been unable to reopen. It is a terrible irony that the Crusades, which were a direct result of the Catholic desire to rescue the Orthodox people, drove the two further—and perhaps irrevocably—apart.

The remainder of the 13th century’s Crusades did little better. The Fifth Crusade (1217-1221) managed briefly to capture Damietta in Egypt, but the Muslims eventually defeated the army and reoccupied the city. St. Louis IX of France led two Crusades in his life. The first also captured Damietta, but Louis was quickly outwitted by the Egyptians and forced to abandon the city. Although Louis was in the Holy Land for several years, spending freely on defensive works, he never achieved his fondest wish: to free Jerusalem. He was a much older man in 1270 when he led another Crusade to Tunis, where he died of a disease that ravaged the camp. After St. Louis’s death, the ruthless Muslim leaders, Baybars and Kalavun, waged a brutal jihad against the Christians in Palestine. By 1291, the Muslim forces had succeeded in killing or ejecting the last of the Crusaders, thus erasing the Crusader kingdom from the map. Despite numerous attempts and many more plans, Christian forces were never again able to gain a foothold in the region until the 19th century.
(MORE TO THE POINT THE NONTOLERANCE OF CHRISTIANS AND JEWS UNDER ISLAMIC RULE IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD WAS HARSH. OPPRESSED, TERRORISED , AND FORCED INTO SLAVERY AT THE HANDS OF THIER SOCALLED BENEVOLENT ISLAMIC LEADERS.)

One might think that three centuries of Christian defeats would have soured Europeans on the idea of Crusade. Not at all. In one sense, they had little alternative. Muslim kingdoms were becoming more, not less, powerful in the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries. The Ottoman Turks conquered not only their fellow Muslims, thus further unifying Islam, but also continued to press westward, capturing Constantinople and plunging deep into Europe itself. By the 15th century, the Crusades were no longer errands of mercy for a distant people but desperate attempts of one of the last remnants of Christendom to survive. Europeans began to ponder the real possibility that Islam would finally achieve its aim of conquering the entire Christian world.
(NOTE ... THE MUSLIM CONQUEST OF THE ENTIRE WORLD)

In 1480, Sultan Mehmed II captured Otranto as a beachhead for his invasion of Italy. Rome was evacuated. Yet the sultan died shortly thereafter, and his plan died with him. In 1529, Suleiman the Magnificent laid siege to Vienna. If not for a run of freak rainstorms that delayed his progress and forced him to leave behind much of his artillery, it is virtually certain that the Turks would have taken the city. Germany, then, would have been at their mercy.

THE BIRTH OF THE PROTESTANT REVOLUTION IN EUROPE AND THE RENISANCE OF LITERATURE AND SCIENCE EMERGED ABOUT THIS TIME AND FORCED A SPLIT IN BELIEFS. THIS LEFT MAINLY CATHOLICS AND THOSE ON THE FRONT LINES OF ISLAM ATTACKS TO DEFEND THE WORLD FROM MUSLIM DOMINATION.

THE MIDDLE EAST NOW BEING DOMINATED BY MUSLIMS WENT INTO FULL SWING OF CONVERTING OR KILING THOSE OF OTHER FAITHS.

AS NOTED ISLAMIC INVASION OF EUROPE AND DOMINACE OVER THE KNOWN WORLD WERE AT THE BASIS OF THE CRUSADES. SAVE THE CHRISTIAN FAITH AND EUROPE FROM FORIEGN INVADERS.

PROOF OF THIS CAN BE TAKEN FROM THE HISTORY OF HUNGARY AND ROMMANINA.

The second ascendant fact of the fifteenth century Wallachian political life was the influence of powerful neighbors. In 1453 Constantinople and the last vestiges of the Byzantine or East Roman Empire, which had blocked the Islam's access to Europe for nearly one thousand years, succumbed to the armed might of the Ottoman Turks under Sultan Mohammed the Conqueror. Long before the fall of the Imperial City the Ottomans had penetrated deep into the Balkans. Dracula's grandfather, Mircea the Old, was forced to pay tribute to the sultan early in the fifteenth century. The Hungarian Kingdom to the north and west of Wallachia reached the zenith of its power during the fifteenth century and assumed Constantinople's ancient mantle as defender of Christendom. Throughout the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.

First google refuses to help aid in the search of petophiles and degenerates. By denying any help in turning over files or records of those who surf the net for prey in these catogories.

It’s easy enough to check. Google’s Chinese page for image searches is http://images.google.cn. We’ve been running searches from there and the surprising thing is that you don’t always get the same search results each time you run it. It’s almost as though your own machine’s cache of previous searches is influencing the results you get on subsequent searches. Or maybe Google is still tweaking the filters, so some things slip through sometimes but not at other times. Whatever is happening behind the scenes, it’s beyond argument that Google users in China are not getting the same search results as Google users in the US and elsewhere.

The difference in search results can be striking. On a clean search, Google-China turned up 10 hits on an image search for jesus christ. Just like that, no quotes. By comparison, the US version of Google image search turns up 168,000 hits on the same exact search terms. 168,000 versus 10. And this is just an image search. We’re not searching for the teachings of Jesus, just pictures. China’s version of Google significantly filters the search

Further, Google-China is even censoring photos of churches for some reason. On the US image search page, a search for church turns up more than 2.8 million hits. On Google-China, church turns up just 723 hits.

How about christian? In the US, 2.36 million hits; Google-China nets 819.

This is a very serious issue. Google has put its financial bottom line over basic human rights. An American company is assisting the Chinese government in a Stalinistic airbrushing of faith from the internet. That Google is helping Beijing wipe Jesus Christ off the web at the same time that it is defying a fairly routine request from the US government for search data to determine if kids are accessing hard core p)rn is unconscionable. I honestly don’t know how Google’s execs sleep at night.

Sen. Hillary Clinton is still all over the map looking to find her support base in the 2008 election.

First she sites that we (the current administration) was not unillaterial enough on its actions with Iraq. Then she speaks out of the other side of her mouth concearning Iran. That we need to be forth right and strong in our position as world leader with despots like the President of Iran.

Depending on who Hillary is speaking in front of determines what her polocies will be. First she favors a strong United Nations, the next she supports more U.N. authority over the United States.

If she speaks in front of a hispanic organization, it all about an open and free boarder, then she talks about how this administration has done nothing to secure the boarder. What does she mean, an open free boarder yet secure?

Now the democratic left ... Sen Kennedy and Kerry, are calling for a fillerbuster of judicial nominee Alito. This grandstanding is nothing more then political postering trying to appeal to a small centralized power base of leftists.

Hil's for filibuster

Takes rebel stand to oppose Alito OK for Supremes

By RICHARD SISK
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Clinton yesterday backed a rebel band of Senate Dems seeking to filibuster a vote on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Samuel Alito.
Democratic leaders had warned that filibuster efforts were going nowhere and would let President Bush score easy political points, but Clinton said, "I oppose his nomination and support efforts to block his confirmation."

"I do not think Judge Alito would advance the principles Americans hold most dear," she said, adding she would vote against a move to cut off a filibuster should one occur.

Any senator can filibuster - or command the floor to block a vote. It takes 60 votes to invoke cloture to end a filibuster.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) made it clear earlier in the day that the party didn't have the votes to defeat a cloture vote, so a filibuster was doomed to failure.

Nevertheless, Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) have pushed for a filibuster, a move that delights Republicans.

"If the Democratic left does a filibuster led by Kerry, that's found money for us," a top GOP official said.

The filibuster tactic could have repercussions for Clinton. Her move is bound to be seen as an appeal to the liberal base that dominates the Democratic presidential primaries, following several Senate votes that could be seen as attempts to move to the center.

In an interview on the "CBS Evening News," Bush said of Clinton's 2008 chances, "She's formidable."

A spokesman for Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he had made no decision on a filibuster and declined comment on Clinton's move.


THERE IS NOTHING IN ALITO'S BACKGROUND THAT SHOULD OR DOES DISQUALIFY HIM FROM SERVICE ON THE SUPREME COURT. THE PROBLEM THE LIBERALS HAVE WITH HIM IS THAT HE SEES THE LAW AS THE LAW AND NOT A RULE OF EMOTION FROM THE HEART.

FOR THOSE WHO SUPPORT HILLARY YOU NEED TO LOOK DEEP AND LONG AT HOW SHE CAN NOT DECIDE WHAT SIDE OF THE FENCE SHE BELONGS TO. DO YOU REALLY WANT A WISHY WASHY CANDIDATE LIKE HER. THEN GOD FORBID SOMEONE WHO SITS IN THE MOST POWERFUL SEAT IN THE WORLD TO BE WISHY WASHY BOTH DOMESTIC AND IN FORIEGN POLOCY?

More then ever it is NOW important to connect the dots in world events. The southern boarder to this country is a wide open door that has invaders coming and going at will.

GAZA (Reuters) - Hamas and Fatah gunmen exchanged fire on Friday in political turmoil as the long-dominant Fatah faction was threatened with a violent backlash from within after its crushing election defeat by the Islamic militant group....
Some 20,000 Fatah supporters took the streets in angry protests across the Gaza Strip, burning cars outside the Palestinian parliament building and firing rifles in the air. Some Hamas posters were ripped down by the crowd, which burned tires in the streets....

The militant al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, part of Fatah, issued a statement threatening to "liquidate" the faction's leaders if they changed their minds and joined a Hamas-led administration.

At separate rallies, thousands of Hamas backers celebrated their surprise victory....

In the first armed clash between Hamas and Fatah militants since Wednesday's vote, three people were wounded in a gun battle near the southern city of Khan Younis.

Witnesses said the violence erupted after Hamas militants were angered by a sermon by a Fatah-appointed Muslim preacher during Friday prayers.

In a later flare up, Hamas gunmen and Palestinian security forces exchanged fire in Khan Younis. A Hamas gunmen and two security officers were wounded in the clash and underscored the difficulties ahead.

With Middle East peace talks frozen since 2000, Israel ruled out negotiations with any Palestinian administration involving Hamas, which is sworn to Israel's destruction and has been behind dozens of suicide bombings.

Colombia Busts Ring Linked to al-Qaida

Associated Press Writer


BOGOTA, Colombia


Colombia has dismantled a false passport ring with links to al-Qaida and Hamas militants, the acting attorney general said Thursday after authorities led dozens of simultaneous raids across five cities.

The gang allegedly supplied an unknown number of citizens from Pakistan, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt and other countries with false passports and Colombian nationality without them ever stepping foot in the country, the attorney general's office said in a written statement.

The counterfeited passports were then used to facilitate their entry into the United States and Europe.

Nineteen people were arrested in Thursday's raids, carried out in collaboration with U.S. authorities, the attorney general's office said. Officials at the U.S. Embassy in Bogota were not immediately available for contact.

An undisclosed number of those arrested are wanted for working with al-Qaida, the international terrorist organization headed by Osama Bin Laden, and the militant Palestinian group Hamas, said acting Attorney General Jorge Armando Otalora.

"We confirm that some of the arrestees are wanted for extradition for collaborating with terrorist groups al-Qaida and Hamas," Otalora told RCN television.

Four were Jordanian citizens were among those arrested, said Manuel Saenz, head of foreign immigration for the DAS secret police, on Caracol television. And eight are being sought by the United States for extradition, Otalora said.

The group apparently penetrated Colombia's federal bureaucracy and secret police. Three DAS officials and an employee of the national registry were among the arrested.

Saenz also said the group provided false passports for Spain, Portugal and Germany and other countries.

Authorities first suspected the existence of a criminal gang in 2002, when three Iraqi citizens were captured entering Colombia on false Israeli passports, the attorney general's statement said.

Following those arrests, the attorney general ordered wiretaps and an undercover investigation that led to the arrest of two Jordanian nationals, Jamal Abdel Mutte Hassan and Zaben Sultan Othman Yousef, who acquired Colombian citizenship illegally.

Both have since been convicted and are serving prison terms of eight years and 19 months respectively.

In Jan. 2004, two more suspected members, Amin Omar Said Ahmad and Karim Bahige Kharfan, were captured in Bogota and later extradited to the United States, where they were convicted of laundering more than $200 million.

Colombian authorities then went on high alert, and with the help of their U.S. counterparts, began to covertly trail and film suspects to unveil a criminal network.

The eight wanted by a U.S. Federal court in Florida on charges of abetting illegal immigration rings and collaborating with terrorist groups include one Jordanian national, Jalal Saadat Moheisen, and a DAS detective, Edilson Ramirez Gamboa.

The raids were carried out in the Colombian capital of Bogota and four other Colombian cities.

Authorities didn't say if any Colombian terrorist groups were involved.

There are three illegal, armed groups in Colombia that are on a U.S. list of terrorist organizations, and President Alvaro Uribe has occasionally warned that their existence fosters more violence.

In a speech in late 2004 to the United Nations in New York, Uribe said Colombia needs "the total commitment of the international community against terrorism in Colombia. The terrorism in one country feeds and strengthens terrorist networks throughout the world."

U.S. officials have long feared al-Qaida could take advantage of corrupt government officials and weak institutions to launch an attack from south of the border.

Much of the focus in South America, however, has fallen on the large Muslim community in Paraguay along the porous border with Argentina and Brazil.

Authorities believe as much as $100 million a year flows out of the region, with large portions diverted to Islamic militants linked to Hezbollah and Hamas.

THE BOARDER MUST BE CLOSED!!!!!!!!!

This should come as no surprise with the AntiJewish feelings growing in the middle east. Some way in order to raise spirits in the Islamic world as thier so called hero's are being defeated and thewir brand of oppression being shown as what it is. OPPRESIVE.

Jihad Watch has a good read on the newly elected terrorists in Palestine.

http://jihadwatch.org/

Spencer: “We Have No Peace Process”
Here, from FrontPage, is my assessment of the Palestinian Authority election results. Many news links in the original:

The denial started almost immediately after Hamas captured 57 percent of the seats in the Palestinian parliament. Associated Press reported that “Hamas capitalized on widespread discontent with years of Fatah corruption and ineffectiveness. Much of its campaign focused on internal Palestinian issues, while playing down the conflict with Israel.” Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice opined: “Palestinian people have apparently voted for change, but we believe their aspirations for peace and a peaceful life remain unchanged.”
But what kind of peace? And how does Hamas (Harakat Muqawama Islamiyya — the Islamic Resistance Movement) propose to rid the Palestinian Authority of corruption? To these questions the answer has been clear for as long as Hamas has existed; the answer to both is Islam. The Hamas Charter of August 18, 1988, quotes Hassan Al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, the first modern Islamic terror organization and the direct forefather of Hamas: “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.” A Hamas supporter in Gaza amplified that principle on Thursday: “We’re happy that now we will have an Islamic state. God willing, Islam will prevail and we will get rid of corruption.”

The Iranian regime of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has joined Hamas in calling for the destruction of Israel, expressed delight at the election outcome. An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said: “Iran...hopes that the powerful presence of Hamas at the [political] scene brings about great achievements for the Palestinian nation.”

Others were not so joyful. Jasser Jasser, a Christian pharmacist in Ramallah, said of the prospect of Hamas rule: “We’re all afraid. We’re worried about the future, that we’ll become a second Iran.” Jasser and other non-Muslims have every reason to be afraid. Hassam El-Masalmeh, Hamas leader in Bethlehem, recently declared that his movement intended to reinstitute the traditional tax, the jizya, stipulated in the Qur’an for Jews and Christians in an Islamic state. “We in Hamas,” Masalmeh announced, “intend to implement this tax someday. We say it openly – we welcome everyone to Palestine but only if they agree to live under our rules.” Since along with this tax, Islamic law stipulates that Jews and Christians must submit to a series of humiliating and discriminatory regulations, ensuring their second-class status in line with the Qur’anic stipulation that they “pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued” (9:29).

Trying hard to act indignant and betrayed. Ophra goes on national television ( her show) and tells everyone she feels dupped. What a crock and load of you know what. This isnt the first time Ophra has had a guest of questionable creditablkity on her show, but it is the first time her MSM buddies have turned on her.

This is the only reason she has kicked Frey out of her book of the month club. It isnt due to his misrepresentatation of the facts but because her guest was actually called on his portrayel of the facts by people on the left.

With the twisting and turning of the truth too many people who would haver blindly listened and believed is no more. More and more people are actually researching the facts on topics before taking what they hear on these gossip shows for the truth, websites like the smoking gun. This bothers people like Ophra deeply and it should have the left in Holliwood cringeing. Thier spell of bewilderment is ending and the citizens are waking up.

This is the cold hard truth that makes Ophra crindge. Not the fact that her staff researched her guest before hand (Frey). Found him to be lacking in creditability before his first interview and being placed on the book of the month club. However the only person who should and does feel bad is Ophra. Still not for being supposedly dupped which is her way of trying to appeal to the soccer mom crowd still. "I feel duped," Ms. Winfrey told Mr. Frey. "But more importantly, I feel that you betrayed millions of readers."She knew before hand, during, and after that his lack of creditability was a problem.

Poor Helen Thomas is the belle of the ball no more. After years, and decades of being the front row chair. She no longer gets to spew forth the democratic talking points at the President of her discontent.

Her feelings of being ignored are justified, however isn't it about time someone else got a chance to question the president allowing her a chance to write the quotes and answers down verbatum instead of slanting them to her sqew of things.

President Bush today again avoided taking a question from White House doyenne Helen Thomas during his 45-minute press conference, even though he took questions from every reporter around her front-row, center seat.

"He's a coward," Thomas said afterward. "He's supposed to be this macho guy. He'll take on Osama bin Laden, but he won't take me on."
(NO HELEN HE WAS IGNORING YOU AND YOUR ABSURD BIAS.)

Thomas, who worked as the UPI White House reporter for 57 years and is now a columnist, raised her hand every time the president was concluding an answer to a reporter's question, but he never called on her.

She had a few questions in mind, though. "I wanted to ask about Iraq: 'You said you didn't go in for oil or for Israel or for WMDs. so why did you go in?' "
(NOTHING BUT D.N.C. TALKING POINTS. A WAY TO TRY AND SPIN THIS PRESS CONFRENCE IN FAVOR OF LEFTIST RHETORIC.)

She also had another question at the ready, just in case, this one about the president's contention that a 28-year-old wiretapping law known as FISA is out of date, which prompted him to order the National Security Agency to conduct a secret electronic surveillance program that Democrats contend is illegal.

"You keep saying it's a 1978 law, but the Constitution 200 years old. Is that out of date, too?"
(WHAT AN ABSURD ASSINE STATMENT. THE CONSTITUTION TO OLD. SEEMS TO ME THAT HELEN NEEDS TO TAKE A CIVIC CLASS AND GET OFF THE "ITS A LIVING BREATHING DOCUMENT" WAGON AND REALIZE IT IS AN OUTLINE NOTHING MORE LIMITING THE GOVERNMENT ON WHAT IT CAN AND CAN NOT DO.)

Afterward, Thomas sat sullenly in her chair in the White House press work area, huddled in her leopard-print winter coat.
(SAT SULLENLY ... HELL SHE SAT THERE AND POUTED BECAUSE SHE WAS IGNORED.)

But as she left, she made a prediction: "He came on to my turf. I'll bet the next press conference will be in Room 450 of the EEOB," a theater-style room in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, where she would not be in the front row.
(HER TERF? WHO VOTED FOR HER TO BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE? SHE WAS INVITED TO BE PRESENT AS A REPRESENATIVE OF THE MEDIA.)

This is a prime example of why we should never ever submit to being ruled by the international court in the Hauge. Every loony lawyer in the world can tie up an American court because of stupidity, but look at what is being proposed for the international court. All the Islamofacist sympathisers are lineing up.

Saddam to sue Bush and Blair
Jan. 25, 2006 at 12:01PM
Defence lawyers for Saddam Hussein Wednesday distributed copies of a lawsuit against President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair for destroying Iraq.
The suit accuses Bush and Blair of committing war crimes by using weapons of mass destruction and internationally-banned weapons including enriched uranium and phosphoric and cluster bombs against unarmed Iraqi civilians, notably in Baghdad, Fallujah, Ramadi, al-Kaem and Anbar.
The Amman-based legal team had said Sunday that the ousted president intended to start legal action against the two leaders of the Iraq war in the International Criminal Court in the Hague, but the text of the suit was made available Wednesday.
The suit also accuses the U.S. president and British prime minister of torturing Iraqi prisoners, destroying Iraq's cultural heritage with the aim of eliminating an ancient civilization, and inciting internal strife.
Bush and Blair were also accused of polluting Iraq's air, waters and environment.
The lawsuit demanded that Bush and Blair appear before court to answer the charges filed against them and requested the harshest punishment in line with Dutch legislation and the rules of international and humanitarian laws.
It also requested compensation for all material and moral damage inflicted on the Iraqi people.



This is absolutely absurd and anyone with half a mind can see this. However just watch all the leftist with an axe to grind calling for President Bush and Prime Minister Blair to be convicted, yet nothing about the atrocities in the Sudan , North Korea, Africa (by U.N. personel), Iran, Cuba, Lybia, just to mention a few. Where are these self rightouse lawyers on those issues? No where to be found when there are real atrocities to prosecute.

The government of Mexico is definately not our friend. Provideing nothing but lip service to the United States while speaking out of the other side of thier mouth to the rest of the world.

Organizeing central and South American governments in an international protest against the secureing of our southern boarder. A claim of it is unfair to fence off and prevent the free flow of ILLEGAL entries into the United States. That our soveriegnty is not as important as the money under the table they recieve from ILLEGALS who are here distabalizing our economy.

Claims of free medical and social benifits for citizens other then American are thier rights and good polocy towards a surging north American economy.

Again why should they recieve free medical and other social benifits while our own citizens do not recieve this.

Now once again the Mexican government instead of looking inward at their problems and a ay to solve them. Is printing out more invasion maps to enter this country. Maps that show distances and locations to watering points and essentially invasion routes.

More of the lip service provided is the fact the claim of no official Mexican government involvment in this. Yet here they are printing maps. As well as providing protection for drug runners.

What you do not believe me. Here:

Men in Mexican Army Uniforms in Border Standoff, Official Says
Tuesday, January 24, 2006

SIERRA BLANCA, Texas — Men in Mexican military-style uniforms crossed the Rio Grande into the United States on a marijuana-smuggling foray, leading to an armed confrontation with Texas law officers, authorities said Tuesday. No shots were fired.

The men retreated and escaped back across the border with much of the pot, though they abandoned more than a half-ton of marijuana as they fled and set fire to one of their vehicles, authorities said.

The Mexican government denied its military was involved.

The confrontation took place Monday and involved three Texas sheriff's deputies, at least two Texas state troopers and at least 10 heavily armed men from the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, said Rick Glancey of the Texas Border Sheriffs' Coalition.

Gov. Rick Perry ordered an investigation.

"It's certainly troubling and unacceptable and a real reminder of how an unsecure border threatens all Texans and the rest of the nation," said Perry spokesman Kathy Walt.

Monday's incident follows a story in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin in Ontario, Calif., on Jan. 15 that said the Mexican military had crossed into the United States more than 200 times since 1996.

The confrontation on Monday took place was near Neely's Crossing, about 50 miles east of El Paso, and started when state police tried to stop three sport utility vehicles on Interstate 10. The vehicles made a quick U-turn and headed south toward the border, a few miles away, Glancey said.

When the SUVs reached the Rio Grande, police saw the occupants of a green, Mexican Army-style Humvee apparently waiting for the convoy, Glancey said.

Police stopped and watched as the vehicles began to cross the shallow river into Mexico. Both sides -- the Americans and the smugglers -- had their weapons drawn.

One SUV got stuck in the river, and another blew a tire on the Texas side. Its driver ran into Mexico.

Men in the Humvee tried to tow the stuck vehicle out of the river. When that failed, a group of men in civilian clothes began unloading from the SUV what appeared to be bundles of marijuana. They then torched the SUV, Glancey said.

Deputies found about 1,400 pounds of marijuana in the vehicle that had a flat tire. The vehicle had previously been reported stolen from El Paso.


This is not the only disturbing evidance of Mexican Military INVADEING AND ABEDDING drug and human trafficers into this country. Documented incursions of helicopters and basic raids by Mexican Military run rampent all along the boarder. Ranchers along this hot zone will tell stories of robberies and threats from these so called friendly government officials crossing our boarder.

Tunnels being discovered, maps, military patrols crossing the boarder. A lack of trying to fix thier own country. Doesn't seem to me that Mexico is our friend at all.

When will this pompus SOB stop running his mouth and spreading lies? This known communist just has no clue to reality does he? Every time he opens his mouth he simply keeps inserting his foot deeper and deeper. One day he id going to choke on his ankle because his foot is so far down his throat.

I am sory but I have to take seriouse issue with what this bozo says. Yes he has the rigth to say what he thinks, but enough already. Sometimes you got to stand up and call itlike you see it. Harry Belefonte hasn't a clue of what he is talking about and is grinding an axe against America and her President.

I want to know just where has he traveled and what he thinks is facism? If America is such a police state then what does he call Cuba and Venzuala? Here are two countries he holds dear. Thinks that they are true examples of good leadership. Two countries that have secrete police, voting fraud, low standards of living, and a large populance that lives in extreme poverty.

Yet it is America that he says is full of Gestopo.
"We've come to this dark time in which the new Gestapo of Homeland Security lurks here, where citizens are having their rights suspended," Belafonte said in a speech to the annual meeting of the Arts Presenters Members Conference.

"You can be arrested and not charged. You can be arrested and have no right to counsel," said Belafonte.

Just what does he think goes on in Cuba when someone speaks out against Castro and the Revolution? Seems to me for years that Cuba has been on the top of the charts for human rights violations in this matter.

His rantings of people being pulled from their homes and held in detention centers only exisits in his imagination. Unless all of a sudden the MSM has had a black out on this. I sure haven't heard of brown shirts coming in the night. If this were the case don't you think that the blogesphere might be alerted to it. Or that the very bias MSM would definately covered this.

If any recent case showed someone being pulled from thier home in the middle of the night wasn't it under President Bill CLintons watch, with Janet Reno running the show. I recall a little boy whos mother gave her life to try and provid her son with a better future. Little Elian Gonzalas, wasn't that the name that filled the telly and the newspapers?

Now that was a better example of Harry Belefraudte's reality. We have moved from this. Or are trying to. Lets look at who really are the ones who want to surpress thier fellow Americans.

If you just google it in about 1 1/2 seconds you can see which side of the Supreme Court was in favor and which wasn't on this Eminate Domain that is sweeping the nation. Then look at which city councils are going along with it. Why for money, against the little guy. I don't see conservatives on these lists. You will however find so called liberals and progressive thinkers who see it as ok to take from one and redistribute to others as long as there is a buck to be made.

"Bush", Belefonte said, rose to power "somewhat dubiously and ... then lies to the people of this nation, misleads them, misinstructs, and then sends off hundreds of thousands of our own boys and girls to a foreign land that has not aggressed against us."

Democratic talking points from 2000. When wil they (crying liberals progresive thinkers) get over the fact they lost despite their denial of the Military vote and their own voter fraud in Florida. The vote count shows Bush won.

Belefonte anfd other activists are right in one thing. You do have to give one of their messages thought and credit. We have to take this country back from extremists and radicals who want to oppress and redistribute in their eyes this country.

We have to get the word out on what these whacko's are saying and doing. That is who they support, what they support and think. How they are really not for the public good, buut trying to line themselves up in power and wealth. Its not the conservative movement in this country, or the center, but the socalled progressive (socialistic) thinkers who want us to no longer exisit. For us to bow down to foriegn powers and surrender our individuality. To be more like the failed, and failing experiments of socialism and communism.

Communism failed big time in Russia, it is failing in China, look at ow they are slowly moving towards capitolism. Dictatorships claiming to be communist are nothing more then ruthless oppressive states in Africa and Central America. Socialism is bitting Europe hard as thier economies are close to collapse from redistributing wealth. Despite the glowing picture the MSM portrays research it and see the troubles they are having. For crying out loud just look at the United Nations and what a mess socialism is making of it.

Is this the type of world Harry thinks is better then America? When did America ever try to take away his earned wealth, or prevent his family from improving themselves? I see his daughter has had a fair acting career and Harry himself is still recieving royalties on his one hit wonder career.

So Harry tell us that hanging out with known child rapist like Paul Yarrow is preferable to hanging out with decent citizens after work sharing a beer.

More of the blame America for the world ills continues with yet another assualt on the 2nd Admenment of our Constitution. This time aid comes from those on the left coast. Not surpriseing however with thier self delusional attitudes of better then the average person.

NEW YORK CITY -- An international coalition of anti-gun groups called on Hollywood to convince a U.N. conference in New York to impose legally-binding United Nations controls over small arms and personal firearms.

Flanked by Hollywood director Andrew Niccol, advocates from ControlArms, SaferWorld, and the International Action Network on Small Arms, IANSA, hosted a cocktail party at the United Nations headquarters building Tuesday night

NOW FOR SOME TRUTH ON INTERNATIONAL ARMS TRADE

Brian Wood, a top arms trade analyst for Amnesty International and ControlArms, told anti-gun activists in New York that the arms dealers who have supplied Africa's most brutal war lords over the past decade were French, Russian and Ukrainian - not American.

"Only 30 countries in the world have laws that regulate arms brokering," he said. They include the 25 European Union nations, Nicaragua, Israel, Japan, South Africa – and the United States. "And that's it," Wood said.

Victor Bout, who became famous for running guns into improvised air strips in Africa in exchange for raw diamonds, is a Russian national. Leonid Minin, arrested in Milan, Italy on August 5, 2000 for selling arms to the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) in Sierra Leone, is from Ukraine.

"Arms brokers use the weakest links in the system," Wood said. "A lot of the most damaging cases involve siphoning off surpluses, especially in Central Asia and certain countries in Eastern Europe."

He lauded two nations for "a high degree of extra-territorial application" of their national arms brokering laws, South Africa and the United States.

Nevertheless, anti-gun activists made clear at week-long meetings in New York to prepare this summer's UN Small Arms and Light Weapons conference, that their goal was to place legally-binding international restrictions on the possession of personal firearms and the international arms trade.

"I was in Sierre Leone," British activist Anthea Lawson, a spokesperson for IANSA, told Newsmax. "How can I explain to people who have gone through incredible suffering because of small arms that NRA [National Rifle Association] concerns are blocking an international agreement that would make lots of people safer?"

International gun control was necessary, she argued, "because the legal trade in weapons is where the illegal trade begins. The weapons themselves all come out of the legal trade."

(SEE HOW THE ACTIVISTS TRY TO PUSH THE BLAME ON AMERICA AND THE NRA. IF AMERICANS DID NOT HAVE HANDGUNS THEN NO ONE WOULD HAVE THEM. ITS AMERICAS FAULT. THE FACT OTHER PEOPLE IN OTHER COUNTRIES CAN NOT POLICE THEMSELVES AND HOLD REVOLUTIONS IS THE AMERICAN GUN OWNERS FAULT ... WHAT A LOAD OF EXCRIMENT!)

In Africa's worst killing spree in modern history, an estimated 500,000 Tutsis were massacred by rival Hutu tribesmen in Rwanda in 1994. But the weapons used were machetes, not firearms.

(LETS NOT FORGET THE FAVORITE METHOD OF RINGING ...WHERE A TIRE IS PLACED AROUND THE PERSON FILLED WITH GASOLINE THEN LITE ON FIRE BURNING THE VICTEM ALIVE.)

Former U.S. Congressman Bob Barr, who is serving as an unpaid advisor to the U.S. delegation to the conference, said that the goal of the non-government organizations and the countries supporting them "is to take away the freedom we possess in our country to possess firearms."

(HE HAS THIS RIGHT. TAKE AWAY THE AVERAGE AMERICANS WAY OF PROTECTING HIMSELF AND THIS COUNTRY IS MORE OPEN TO ATTACK)

Just as anti-gun control advocates in the United States, the international NGOs were "focusing on the instrument, not on the underlying problem," he told NewsMax. "It's relatively easy to get a handle on the true problem, which is how do you prevent military weapons from getting into the hands of rogue regimes and genocidal maniacs."

The Bush administration has set out several "red lines" that the United States would not cross, he said.

"We will allow no discussion, no negotiation, over civilian possession of firearms," Barr said. Nor will the U.S. agree to any U.N. effort to impose binding U.N. controls on what "non-state actors" a member state will supply with weapons.

"We feel it's the prerogative of the president of the United States to decide what groups to support," Barr said. "There could be freedom fighters in ‘Freedonia' we find it in our interest to arm."

Countries backing the effort to place legally-binding international restrictions on the trade in small arms include Canada, which hosted a presentation by Amnesty International at the United Nations, Britain, Mexico, Japan, the Netherlands, and Brazil.

(WHAT A SHOCK TO SEE MEXICO ON THIS LIST. JUST THINK TAKE AWAY THE AMERICAN RIGHT TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND HOW MUCH EASIER IT WILL BE FOR THE INVASION OF DRUG RUNNERS AND ILLEGALS TO FLOOD THIS COUNTRY.)

For years most people with any common sense have read or should I say skipped over Molly Ivins rants and absurdities. Molly lives in her own little world and thinks she ios in touch with the heart of Americana. How far from the truth is she. A loooong way.

In a recent column she lets the Democratic Party know that she will not support Hillary Clinton. Personally this makes me take a second look at Hillary to reasses her positions. Maybe there is something redemable there if Molly won't support her.

Molly writes as if her opinion is a big deal. Actually Dear Molly, YOU DON'T COUNT. What her column shows is the ego's now prevailing in the editorials of American Papers. Her pompus self rightouse ideaolog of being the only one who knows best and telling her readers that it is her way or the highway must come to an end.

Sure there are many who read my blog and tell me in no uncertain words, mainly with the use of explicitives of the verb type, how wrong I am. Well I do say my opinion. I will joke with some about it. But I do not consider my opinion the only one on topics like Molly does. I learned a long time ago there are two sides to every coin. Although sometimes it is a two headed coin.

Anyway lets look at some of what Molly has said in her column.

"Sen. Clinton is apparently incapable of taking a clear stand on the war in Iraq, and that alone is enough to disqualify her. Her failure to speak out on Terri Schiavo, not to mention that gross pandering on flag-burning, are just contemptible little dodges ...
(WOW SO HILLARY IS BEING A POLITICIAN AND IT DISTURBS MOLLY. WE ALL KNOW HILLARY PANDERS TO WHAT EVER CROWD SHE IS SPEAKING TO AND SHE THINKS WILL SWAY VOTES.)

"There are times when regular politics will not do, and this is one of those times. There are times a country is so tired of bull that only the truth can provide relief.
(HERE SHE IS RIGHT. UNFORTUNATELY SHE SEES IT AS A TIME FOR THE UNITED STATES TO CAVE AND KOWTOW TO FORIEGN POWERS AND SOCIALISTIC WAYS. YES IT IS TIME FOR TRUTH, WHAT A SHAME MOLLY DOES NOT WRITE NOR BELIEVE IN IT.)

"If no one in conventional-wisdom politics has the courage to speak up and say what needs to be said, then you go out and find some obscure junior senator from Minnesota with the guts to do it. In 1968, Gene McCarthy was the little boy who said out loud, ‘Look, the emperor isn't wearing any clothes.’”
(SEVERAL POLITICIANS ARE STANDING UP AND SPEAKING OUT. CONGRESSMAN TANCREDO FOR ONE ON IMMIGRATION, THE PRESIDENT ON THE WAR, THE PROBLEM IS MOLLY REFUSES TO LISTEN.)

Ivins says the majority of Americans believe the war in Iraq is a mistake and the U.S. should get out, and a majority are also in favor of raising the minimum wage, repealing President Bush’s tax cuts, imposing a windfall profits tax on big oil companies and reducing the deficit not by cutting domestic spending, but by reducing Pentagon spending or raising taxes.
(HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH THE DEMOCRATIC TALKING POINTS. SPIN THE TRUTH AND FAIL TO CONNECT ANY DOTS ON ANYTHING. REFUSE TO SEE THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF ARE TROOPS AND THE GOOD THEY ARE DOING AND HAVE DONE. DEMOCRATIC SPIN TALKING POINTS.)

"That is the center, you fools,” Ivins tells Hillary and the Democrats. "WHO ARE YOU AFRAID OF?”
(WHOS CENTER IS SHE REFERING TO? THEN WHO IS SHE CALLING A FOOL? I GUESS IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE EH MOLLY. THEN WHO OR SHOULD WE SAY WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF MOLLY? THE TRUTH PERHAPS/REALITY EVEN?)

We have seen how the padgent over the years has taken the politically correct stance on everthing. From being the butt of jokes. "I want world Peace, and to see all children educated." As the typical answers judges look for. But wait what is this.

A new answer, a real answer. One that is not politically correct and am sure will have all the touchy feely, peace pot and microdot types cause to complain and protest. I on the opther hand LOVE the answer and shows some reality, and common sense.

Miss Nevada's controversial pro-Yucca Mountain stance was sparked by "ruthless" judges involved in the Miss America Pageant interview process, according to her mother.

In Thursday's interview, Miss Las Vegas Crystal Wosik, who won the Miss Nevada title, was asked by one of the preliminary judges about the planned nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain.

Wosik replied, "It has to go someplace, and that was the best-built facility in the country," Nevada's state pageant director, Nancy Ames, told the Reno Gazette-Journal.

And if people die?

"We just have to take one for the team," said contestant Wosik, according to Ames.

SHE HAS MY VOTE, AND SUPPORT.
