Liberals are Causing a European Jihad
– By Justin Darr

After more than two weeks of nightly violence, the rioting of Europe’s Muslim minority has finally begun to subside. While the French government and Main Stream Media may be eager to pretend that the events of the last month were an anomaly, or persist in the notion that the
underlying issues that incited the violence are now being addressed, the current lull in the violence in Europe is just that; a lull. The violence is doomed to return in the future. Europe is fast becoming ground zero in clash of civilizations between two equally intolerant cultures, radical Islam and Liberalism.

If American Liberalism has an Eden, it must be somewhere in France. France has positioned itself in the world as the self appointed “Liberal Paradise.” Large scale social programs, crippling controls over business, the complete eradication of expressions of faith in public schools, year-long prison terms for anyone who might utter a word deemed to be “offensive,” euthanasia for invalids, no death penalty, abortion pills, and a compulsive anti-Americanism, has made France the envy of liberals world-wide………….

Born Here Means Automatic US Citizenship – Should We Change That?
– By Warner Todd Huston

You may have heard the term “anchor baby”? This term is used by the Immigration and Naturalization Service to describe babies born within the borders of the USA, its territories and protectorates to foreign nationals, babies that are then used by these illegal immigrants to gain access to US social services as well as entry into the country.

As things stand today, any child born within US territory is an automatic citizen. And, since we are a compassionate people, we cannot just have babies running around as citizens without allowing their parents some legitimacy, even if shadowy, to live in the US to raise and support that child. Hence, the “anchor” part of the moniker. Illegals have babies to make sure that they are allowed to stay in this great country more often than is comfortable, for sure.

Congress may be re-visiting this concept and looking toward taking away the automatic part of being born a citizen for some, instituting stricter guidelines……….

Bush is Back
– By Christian Hartsock

Well I was going to open this column by stating that the president we voted for one year ago to this month was not the same president who was inaugurated in January. A recent stir in events however, has led to me to feel otherwise.

Before last November, the no-B.S. American response to 9/11, the successful toppling of Saddam, the sight and sound of seizure-ridden liberals screaming “Fascism!”, “Imperialism!” and “Halliburton!”, and Zell Miller’s fiercely powerful speech at the Republican National Convention all instilled in me an optimism that President Bush would win, and that the fight would be worth it.

Then came his inauguration speech in which Bush appropriately used the term “freedom” about as frequently as Dustin Hoffman used the term “definitely” in Rain Man. It was an inspiring speech, but everything went downhill from there ………..

Never To Late To Learn Of The Threats Schools Pose To Property Rights
– By Frederick Meekins

With all the coverage of grandiose tragedies as of late caused by the hurricanes, less attention has been paid this year to the regular back to school festivities. However, it is at such times of mass distraction that the abridgements of liberty pose the greatest threat and this is especially true of the mundane bureaucracies that govern much of every day life but are not very exciting in and of themselves such as the public schools.

>One annual ritual that connects one generation with the next is subdued sense of joy that comes each year when parents and children go to acquire the supplies needed for the pending academic term. A less enjoyable accretion to this rite of passage is the additional practice of various schools staking a claim to this educational paraphernalia in the name of the community.

As there are as many ways to commemorate special occasions as there are families, despite the desire of radical educators to turn out students of a uniform communitarian mindset, each school goes about the homogenization of property ironically in its own individual manner…….

Another Day of Paradise – A Reply to Frederick Meekins
– By Greg Stewart

Recently, Frederick Meekins wrote an op-ed regarding Mindy McCready’s plight as a battered woman. In truth, his perspective is on point; she does have the ability and means to leave, but! In a rational world, she would leave and never turn back. The heart wants what it wants, and rationality does not enter in the course of human emotions. Unfortunately, our emotionality is the part of us, so when Meekins proffers that: “Since she is not bound by matrimony to this human detritus, there is nothing keeping her in this situation” (nor should it, even she was married to him). This, of course, is very true, since most women “feel” there choices are restricted in these types of relationship, however, I am not the one who going cast stones at their choices and their decisions, but as a person who has seen this wretched circumstance of some of my friends personally, and knowing the snapshot domestic violence statistics, I have acquiesced to their decision of bad judgment. One cannot change the heart; nor subdue liberty.

Admittedly, Meekins’ point is not lost on me when he says, “… In this day of escalating cohabitation and out of wedlock births setting new records, I will probably find many so-called Christians and Conservatives who probably have fewer problems with this sign of obvious social decay than letting their kids go Trick-Or-Treating.” He deigns the present generation lack of morality, and condemns McCready.

Nonetheless, McCready has a right to choose poorly … ………

At 5 AM on Monday, November 11th, 1918 an armistice was signed in the Forest of Compiegne between the warring counties of the Allied Powers and Germany, ending what would be called the “great war” or “the war to end all wars”.

Later that same month, President Woodrow Wilson issued an Armistice Day proclamation hoping that the “reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory”.

But it wasn’t until 1938 when another great war loomed close on the horizon that president Roosevelt signed the bill making November 11th a Federally recognized holiday; Armistice Day. And it wasn’t until 1954 that the name of the holiday was changed to Veteran’s Day in order to celebrate Veterans of all wars instead of just commemorating the Victory over Germany in WWI.

And now, as we are engaged in a new war with hopes that it lead to an ever greater peace in places far away, let us all pause this day to remember all our veterans, past, present and future.

The war to end all wars did not turn out to make such an end, but let us all hope for a day when soldiers won’t be needed though prepare for a day when they are. Let us aim that might toward defeating our enemies who would see us harmed and tyrants who would harm others. Most of all, let us strive never to forget the sacrifices of those who serve and have served.

A salute to our fellow Americans in service to their country, for they are our children, parents and neighbors.

Thank you one and all from we, the grateful citizens of this great country.

(Also, let us celebrate the birthday of the United States Marine Corps. 230 years old as of November 10th. BooYah!)

You will know tyranny by the security of its citizens who find they have nowhere to go. You will know tyranny by the near unanimous “vote” by its citizens for its glorious leader. You will know tyranny by the strength of its military and the weakness of everything else. You will know tyranny by the surprising sameness of its voice. You will know tyranny by the love of it expressed by all its people, lest they be eaten whole by it in the night. You will know tyranny by its fear of its neighbors. You will know tyranny by its exportation to its neighbors of that same fear.

Most of all you will know tyranny by the silence of its many mass graves.

Veterans Day should be a time for gratitude
– By Michael M. Bates

It was 87 years ago tomorrow that the guns were silenced. At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, peace finally came. World War I was over.

President Wilson issued a statement: “The Armistice was signed this morning. Everything for which America fought has been accomplished. It will now be our fortunate duty to assist by example.”

World War I was supposed to be the conflict that would end all wars. According to Mr. Wilson, its purpose was to make the world safe for democracy ………………..

Makes You Almost Think Some Women Get What They Deserve
– By Frederick Meekins

Despite nearly being killed by her boyfriend, country singer Mindy McCready insists she still loves the scumbag.

This misguided sentiment runs so deep that she became with child well after the incident of abuse. She insists this was unintentional, of course.

This must mean she became pregnant after eating a watermelon seed or something was in the water because one does not become impregnated unexpectedly unless she wants to file charges of rape. Or perhaps, her man is so oozing with testosterone that, besides his bestial rages, he can have the impact in question from clear across a room without even touching a woman.

Since she is not bound by matrimony to this human detritus, there is nothing keeping her in this situation. Given her fame and fortune, she is perfectly free to leave whenever she wants; and given her celebrity status, it is well within the scope of her resources to acquire someone else slightly used like herself with a more amicable disposition. It’s not like she is dependent upon him as her only means of support…….

Is Halloween just a Yankee Doodle celebration?
– By Michael M. Bates

Most of us have fond memories of the Halloweens we enjoyed as children. The costumes, the haunted houses, the parties and the knocking on doors in pursuit of treats were generally innocuous forms of fun.

Little did we realize that we were fanning the flames of anti-Americanism around the world.

Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez last week told his countrymen that Halloween has no place in his socialist paradise. According to CNN.com, he used his weekly TV and radio broadcast to caution that the observance is strictly a “gringa,” or North American custom.

Moreover, he warned that the celebration is emblematic of U.S. culture: “terrorism, putting fear into other nations, putting fear into their own people.” ………………..

Student Porn – Inmates Running the Asylum at UC San Diego
– By Warner Todd Huston

Conservatives are often heard to bemoan the state of our American culture. They worry that our societal mores have so degenerated that they appeal only to the lowest common denominator and that we are somehow losing our way. With stories like the one I am about to relate, it’s hard to dismiss this as the ranting of people who are sticks in the mud, or a bunch of old fogies that just refuse to come into “modern” times.

At UC San Diego, the student run TV station has been broadcasting a porn show produced and starring one of it’s students that has caused a bit of a ruckus there.

Unfortunately, this aforementioned ruckus isn’t being raised among the University administrators, but the students themselves – though that is both good and bad. Apparently, the administration has decided to stay out of the controversy. This is what causes me to wonder if the inmates have been handed the keys to the asylum?……….

I am so misunderstood!
– By Warner Todd Huston

I would like to say something about this Canada business and myself. Some are imagining that I have something real against Canada, but I do not. Sure, we have a healthy rivalry between our two countries , but I am not saying that Canada is doing nothing to help the US with the Global War On Terror (GWOT).

I have gotten quite a few emails from Canadians both in support of my views as well as against. But it is interesting that all those against seem to be working with the government somehow!

Canada is doing a lot with the GWOT. But they are not, however, doing all they could and this is my point. Their anti-US and anti-war feelings coupled with their overly liberal leanings and Europeanesque disdain for security is effecting their ability to crack down on this terrorism business.

And now, some more support for my contention that Canada is more of a security threat than Mexico…

50 Terror Groups Believed to Be in Canada

By BETH DUFF-BROWN, Associated Press Writer
Monday, July 4, 2005

(07-04) 11:07 PDT TORONTO, Canada (AP) —

Though many view Canada as an unassuming neutral nation that has skirted terrorist attacks, it has suffered its share of aggression, and intelligence officials believe at least 50 terror groups now have some presence here.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service, counterpart of the CIA, said terrorist representatives are actively raising money, procuring weapons, “manipulating immigrant communities” and facilitating travel to and from the United States and other countries.

The Second Term Curse
– By Justin Darr

In 1797, George Washington quietly returned to his Mount Vernon home after completing his second term as President of the United States. Washington could have easily been elected for a third term, however, chose to quietly step aside, creating the tradition of American Presidents serving only twice in office.

This precedent stood for a century and a half, until, much to the chagrin of the Republican Party, FDR decided to run for a third term in 1940. After Roosevelt’s death in 1945, the Republicans began almost immediately to work on amending the Constitution to translate Washington’s precedent into law. Whether the Republicans’ motivation was one of trying to prevent a de facto “American aristocracy” where Presidents would rule for life, or merely an attempt to break the Democratic Party’s domination of the political landscape is a subject of
debate to this day. Nonetheless, beginning with its passage by the Congress in 1947, and final ratification by three fourths of the states in 1951, the 22nd Amendment was born.

Respect for the tradition set by Washington aside, it is time to reopen the discussion of the merits of the 22nd Amendment in light of the 50 years of political turmoil it has created. ………….

Mr. Etzinger’s Overstatement- My Reply To The Canadian Embassy’s Note

I am heartened that Mr. Etzinger, from the Canadian embassy in Washington, took the time to respond to some of my points on the security problems between our two great nations. It shows that they are paying attention, as I am sure they were all along, and that is certainly admirable. But, I believe some of his criticisms were overstated.

Mr. Etzinger started his criticism with an attack on the “logic” of my position stating that saying there are Al Qaeda members in Canada amounts to “urban legend”. But, that doesn’t seem to square with the many easily found reports in the media. Even Canadian officials have announced that one Canadian national or another is an operating Al Qaeda member, confirming my claim.

Aside from Ahmed Ressam, whom I mentioned in my original Op Ed, Canadian officials have arrested several more citizens over the years since 1999. For instance, in 2002 officials arrested an Ottawa resident, Mohamed Harkat, who was involved in Al Qaeda. Even British officials recently arrested Mohammad Momin Khawaja, a Canadian citizen accused of planning bombings in England. And in 2003 top Al Qaeda terror suspect, Adnan El Shukrijumah, was in Canada attempting to get the materials for a “Dirty” nuclear bomb, it is reported.

Both the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have confirmed that Canadian citizens who are suspected of operating terrorist cells in Canada and are members of Al Qaeda have been arrested or are currently under watch since 1999.

… well, I could go on and on, but you get the picture.

Further, I am not the only commentator who is making this connection between the obvious presence of Al Qaeda in Canada and a threat to US security. Just for one example, a former Canadian ambassador, James Bissett, recently wrote that there is, indeed, a problem here. He wrote in a recent Op Ed, that there is “… a serious threat not only to Canada but to the United States.”

All this seems to point to something other than the “urban legend” theory Mr. Etzinger wants us to believe.

Next, Mr. Etzinger made the analogy that Virginia is a danger to North Carolina because Al Qaeda suspects have been discovered in the Tidewater State. He seemed to want to use this example as a joke, a way to downplay the fact that Canada is a danger to the US. But Virginia IS a threat to North Carolina for the very reason he states. Of course, both states are within the USA and the analogy isn’t perfect, but the point he thought was so funny is quite serious, really.

Etzinger chastised me for “cherry picking” a “couple” reports of Al Qaeda cells in Canada and over blowing those few reports to an absurd degree. But, I gave five different reports in my piece and then went on to state that there are many, many other easily found reports. I certainly couldn’t include them all in a simple Op Ed. If I made an “error of monstrous proportions” by over blowing the reports in Mr. Etzinger’s opinion then he certainly erred as monstrously the other way by downplaying the same!

Mr. Etzinger certainly is correct to remind us all that there are problems inherent in a war against insurgents and covert operatives in a nation like Canada -or the USA, for that matter- that is an “open society”. I couldn’t agree more strongly. It is not easy to reconcile an open, democratic society’s intense desire for due process under the law and fairness for all concerned with a fight against a hidden, secret enemy within. We see the issue writ large in our own debate over the Patriot Act in the USA. But that point is so obvious as to be prosaic. Such an issue is far too large an issue to be discussed in as short an Op Ed as was my original, more narrowly focused piece.

Now, I certainly believe that the Canadian government is working with the US government to improve security and I know that the Canadian armed forces are champing at the bit to get in this action, if the remarks of General Rick Hillier are any indication. Hillier, the top General of the Canadian Defense, was reported to have been excited over the inclusion of Canadian armed forces in Afghanistan. Even Prime Minister Paul Martin backed up his tough talking Top General last July.

So, please let it be known that I welcome and appreciate all the Canadian government has done to date in conjunction with the USA with the Global War on Terror. I don’t want to be construed as saying that they are doing nothing. But, with the prevailing anti-war fever in Canada so infesting the Canadian government, it strains credulity to believe that Canada is doing ALL it can.

All in all, I do not believe that I “distorted” any facts, as Mr. Etzinger contends. Admittedly, I did not go into the things that Canada is doing and Mr. Etzinger did a good service to let us know of some of the things that they are doing. But, my piece was not about that issue and I really did not have the space in the form of an Op Ed to explore that line of discussion. I just do not feel I gave anyone a “false impression about Canada” or US security.

What I did do was bring some specific problems to light in hopes that a solution is forth coming. And it’s a solution Mr.Etzinger is in a far better position to effect than am I. Instead of simply dismissing my criticisms of Canada’s efforts it would be nice if he spent some time trying to solve the problem.

Our collective security is certainly an important issue and I join Mr. Etzinger in working to that end.

New Bond Makes Big To-Do Over Dislike Of Guns: Why Should We Even Care?

Canada – More Dangerous To USA Than Mexico
– By Warner Todd Huston

The neo-isolationists that fill the far right of the Conservative movement, fanned on by certain insincere radio hosts, have become so exorcised by Mexico that the issue is close to eclipsing the GWOT; the Global War On Terror.

The gnashing of teeth and wearing of sackcloth has, for some, reached such a fever pitch that no other issue is important to them. They are fixated on the fact that Mexico is the most dangerous thing the USA faces in the 21st century, that Mexico will destroy our culture, or destroy our economy. And this as we prosecute a war, yet.

Of course, we have major problems with our nearest neighbor to the south. We have rampant illegal crossings, drug smuggling with impunity and a loss of a large block of our economy as Mexicans send US dollars home to Mexico instead of spending it here.

But a little perspective would be nice because Mexico isn’t the most imminent danger the USA faces in the neighborhood. Canada is more of an immediate threat to our security by far than is Mexico……….

WHAT ALEX SAID, And Why We Should Listen
– By Resa LaRu Kirkland

I’m sick of always saying “my Muslim contact,” so from now on I will refer to him as “Alex.” It’s vague enough to keep him protected from the wrath of Islam, and given what he continues to tell the non-Muslim world about Islam’s intentions, he needs protecting.

Alex doesn’t live in America. His observations come from a childhood raised in Islam, carefully studying us from a distant vantage point and applying a genius-level IQ to define what he sees; and what he sees is a nation on the brink, and an enemy ready to shove ………

With this Miers fiasco finally behind us, I want to log in my feelings on what happened. I am going to use the support of Miers by writer and radio host, Hugh Hewitt, to demonstrate my evolution from a guarded support of Miers to being against her nomination. Hugh is a perfect foil for this because it was Hugh that actually helped me make the switch, even as he was attempting to do the opposite.

I like Hugh Hewitt’s radio show. He has some incredible experience what with having been in government, being a constitutional lawyer, a professor, a daily blogger and Editorialist for several outlets as well as a talk show host. He is one of those people that one looks at and wonders where he gets the time to do all these things he does, time that the rest of us never seem to find.

However … (didn’t you just know a “however” was a’commin?)

At first, I did want to take Hugh’s advice on this Miers issue. After all, a President has the guaranteed right to nominate anyone he wants to nominate to the SCOTUS. And further, I, too, felt a wiff of elitism coming from Miers’ denigrators when this all began. But as each day moved forward and as each morsel of new info about Miers came out, I found Hugh more and more off base with his support of this nomination. As each day went on with Hugh’s attempts to support her nomination, his ability to convince got weaker and weaker as the growing resistance mounted its successful efforts.

And he was just plain wrong about the entire Harriet Miers story when it was all said and done, too. He is so sure that this whole fiasco, and fiasco it was, is the death knell of both the Bush administration and the conservative movement. He is also sure that this means that the conservatives have assured the end of the non-politicized court. He is wrong on most counts, as far as I am concerned.

I will not stoop to the claim that he is somehow so blindly loyal to the Bush administration that he will say or do anything in support. Though I am sure his past White House experience lends him toward giving a GOP administration a little more leeway than many other pundits might. But, I don’t want to dismiss his opinions as unconsidered spin especially with his thorough knowledge of the law.

And he is right in a few things that he contends. We absolutely have made appointments to the court far more political than it need or should be. But, it isn’t the conservatives that are doing it, by and large, but the left, Miers not-with-standing. The left created “Borking” and have sustained it ever since and it is a process carried on by politicians, not the public. But, with Hugh claiming the right “Borked” Miers, we are seeing a glimpse of his worst hyperbole.

Yes, a very few conservative pundits went over the top in their condemnation of the Miers candidacy. I am sure a few radio hosts took things too far, too. But Borking is something Political Parties do to candidates and this did not happen. Still Hewitt has claimed that this is what happened to Miers. It just isn’t true.

First of all, we absolutely cannot muzzle opinion just because a president made a nomination. Additionally, the Party faithful are wholly obligated to tell their leaders what they want and Miers did not fit that bill. That is exactly what happened here. Bush made an appointment that did not satisfy his base nor did it seem to jive with his claims of placing solid constructionists on the court.

Further, I would say that another radio personality is more right about the supposed crack-up of the right than is Hugh. Rush Limbaugh says this shows the strength of the conservative movement whereas Hugh thinks we are shooting ourselves in the foot. I think Rush is more right than is Hugh. The base asserted their opinion on the kind of nominee they wanted and they had not only the right but the obligation to speak up. Their opinion won the day in the field of debate and this is a good thing.

Also, we DO need a litmus test of sorts for court nominees on the right at this time. We have already ruined the court with politics and we absolutely must place enough judges in place that will reverse this trend now before the proper role of the courts is utterly irretrievable. If we do not do so, we cannot regain the proper role of the courts if we sit idly by and allow the left to control the process.

I’d have to say that the most obvious proof, if proof can be had, that Hugh went over the top in his support of the Miers nomination was when he made a brief negative aside on his radio show (last Monday, I think) that it was just “internet pundits” that doomed Meirs. This is amusing in that Hugh is the biggest supporter of “internet pundits” with his championing of Bloggers. He was dangerously close to saying that “internet pundits” should only be acceptable if they AGREE with him!

Now, I will agree with him. Yes we have made the courts far more a political football than it should be. Yes we risk making the courts assume a role they should not have (and who doesn’ believe it has already happened?). I must also agree that the Supreme Court has never been a place to which we nominate only the “smartest” or most well “educated” elits. Not to say that it isn’t an important position and that we shouldn’t strive to put well educated people with solid experience on the courts but the court was never supposed to be a place where only the literatti were to be placed. We have had many Justices who were not necessarily the cream of the crop, the most elite. The idea that only the most elite should be allowed to attain SCOTUS appointments runs contrary to our culture of being able to achieve greatness from humbleness.

Of course, I am not saying we should be appointing ditch diggers to the SCOTUS, but to assume that only the most elite can get there is the other end of that spectrum that we must avoid. We must leave room on the high courts for people who may not fit the mold of the elite classes let we so distance our courts from the “common man” that they are unable to rule with that in mind.

Furthermore, we should try not to make a habit of torpedoing candidates before they even get a hearing, to be sure. There Hugh is more than right.

In any case, I think Hugh got himself in a pickle with his support of Meirs. And I think he just went down the wrong track to save face. He isn’t stupid and he wasn’t insincere. He was just wrong.

Walgreens: Let the (gay) games begin
– By Michael M. Bates

The Walgreen Company has given $100,000 to help sponsor the 2006 Gay Games in Chicago. Or, more officially, the Gay Games VII Sports and Cultural Festival, which is scheduled for next July.

Organizations unhappy with the company’s contribution include the Illinois Family Institute and the American Family Association. Both groups have urged members to contact the country’s biggest drugstore chain and voice their disapproval.

According to Walgreens spokesman Michael Polzin, with whom I spoke earlier this week, the groups’ constituents have done just that. He said that reaction from the general public, however, has been minimal.

Mr. Polzin also indicated that the health care company made its donation to “have a presence at the games.” He said they will have pharmacists available to provide information on HIV/AIDS. This is, he asserted, a continuation of the company’s efforts to educate the public on various medical concerns such as cancer and heart disease.

Walgreens gives millions of dollars a year to various charitable entities, he noted. And the company will not reconsider its Platinum-level sponsorship of the gay games………………..

Feminism Has Become Silly, Maybe Even Dangerous
– By Warner Todd Huston

In the early days of the US women’s rights movement, when Sarah Grimke and her sister, or Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony led their fights for women’s rights, women were almost universally treated as second class citizens. Throughout the country they couldn’t vote, in many states they couldn’t even legally retain ownership of their own homes upon the death of a husband. It was by and large uncommon for women to attain a higher education and in the days before the Civil War it was even assumed that women were physically unsuited to work outside the home much less start a business. There was little recourse for women who were beaten by violent husbands, women then having little legal recourse in nearly any matter.

Now that was oppression. Those were the days when women were mistreated by societal norms, when women were not offered the opportunities of the American concepts of “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”, and when the women’s movement really meant something urgent.

Even in the days of the 1960s and 70s, when women like Gloria Steinem and Germaine Greer began their own crusades women were not able to enjoy the same status as citizen as did men in the US. Even as anti-American as their real aims were what with the socialist/communist ideals that so often underlay their principles, the ladies still had real problems to address.

But, now, we can safely say the battle is won. “Feminism”, as a movement, is now unnecessary. In fact it has become silly at best and dangerous at worst……….

What Environmentalists Do Not Want You to Know About Endangered Species
– By Justin Darr

Did you know that if all the endangered species in the world were made safe, hurricanes would no longer hit the Gulf Coast? This is just one example of the tortured logic liberal environmentalists would like you to believe in regard to Humanity’s affect on the environment.

You have to remember that liberals do not think like you and me. We live in a world we believe to be basically good, and where doing what is right an end unto itself. If we stick to our values, look out for ourselves, and try to help those around us along the way, the world will be a better place. Why? Because we believe in God and that we will be held accountable for whatever havoc we might cause. We should not destroy the environment because it is a gift from God, and marring it a grievous sin. ………….

Looters Should Be Shot
– By Frederick Meekins

In one captivating scene of Stephen Spielberg’s “War Of The Worlds”, a frenzied mob besieges a minivan until the character played by Tom Cruise relinquishes control of it with the drama heightened by a few brief moments of whether or not his preadolescent daughter was going to be part of the spoils. As someone that projects certain cultural and social trends into the future, the scenario reminded me of what would likely happen should an incident of overwhelming destruction ever occur within the United States.

Those with limited imaginations will brush it all aside and say such anarchy could never happen here. And under optimal circumstances, I would never have proof one way or the other as to the veracity of my sociological postulations regarding these matters. Unfortunately in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, it seems I didn’t have to wait too long for a far off tragedy to receive confirmation.

Before the flood waters even had the opportunity to recede from this contemporary Atlantis, a wave of human scum far more deliberately malevolent than anything found in the forces of nature washed over the sunken city. For while most of the residents of the Gulf Coast were no doubt awed and humbled by the circumstances into which they were thrust, others less noble in bearing decided to exhibit behaviors proving they were barely worthy of membership among the ranks of civilized men by instead of aiding their neighbors in a time of overwhelming need deciding to prey upon them like common leeches…….

Answering the Clinton’s Ill-mannered Behavior
– By Chuck Busch

It is questionable whether a supposed environmental warming trend triggered the two violent hurricanes in the Gulf coast, but there can be no doubt that the acrimony over disaster response has produced a significant change in the political atmosphere over Washington. The formerly impeached president and perpetual campaigner, Bill Clinton, headed for the spotlight once again to deliverable a string of disparaging remarks directed toward President Bush’s handling of the Katrina emergency, Iraq and the national budget.

Having been in office for two terms, Bill Clinton cannot run for U.S. President again. It would seem improbable that he or his ex-co-president spouse would succeed anyway, now that the sordid tales of eight years of mind-boggling scandals involving abuses of power, criminal neglect, ineptitude, cowardice, immorality and corruption have become public knowledge. Therefore, Clinton has set his sights on the only other job left to him besides dogcatcher (my apologies to animal control agents) and that is, Secretary General of the United Nations. Clinton probably considers this a promotion and a chance to achieve a redeeming legacy that so far has eluded him ………..

The MSM’s Drooling Beast

By 1968, NVA morale was at its lowest point ever. The plans for “Tet” ’68 was their last desperate attempt to achieve a success, in an effort to boost the NVA morale. When it was over, General Giap and the NVA viewed the Tet ’68 offensive as a failure, they were on their knees and had prepared to negotiate a surrender.

At that time, there were fewer than 10,000 U.S. casualties, the Vietnam War was about to end, as the NVA was prepared to accept their defeat. Then, they heard Walter Cronkite (former CBS News anchor and correspondent) on TV proclaiming the success of the Tet ’68 offensive by the communist NVA. They were completely and totally amazed at hearing that the US Embassy had been overrun. In reality, The NVA had not gained access to the Embassy–there were some VC who had been killed on the grassy lawn, but they hadn’t gained access…According to (General) Giap, these distorted reports were inspirational to the NVA. They changed their plans from a negotiated surrender and decided instead, they only needed to persevere for one more hour, day, week, month, eventually the protesters in American would help them to achieve a victory they knew they could not win on the battlefield…Today, there are 58,000 names on the Vietnam Wall Memorial that was built with the donations made by the American public. Although Giap did not mention each and every protester’s name in his book, many of us will never forget the 58,000 names on the Wall. We will also never forget the names of those who helped in placing those additional 48,000 names there: Bill, Jane, Tom, Cronkite, and others. Those of us who rotated prior to Walter Cronkite’s report on “Tet-68” can clearly state, “We were still winning when I left!”–9th Infantry Division.

This was a staggering revelation, and yet it did nothing to change the media. If anything, they were proud of their treason. It is only one of the reasons I can’t stand Walter Cronkite. He will go down in history as the most treacherous prevaricator in modern media history. But he won’t go down alone; he’ll have a plethora of media puppets with him ………

What Does Albert Mohler Have Against Mentioning Global Government?
– By Frederick Meekins

On the October 18, 2005 edition of The Albert Mohler Program the President of the Southern Baptist Seminary was discussing if America was ready for a female President in light of predictions of the 2008 electoral contest coming down to Hillary Clinton and Condolezza Rice and the popularity of the new ABC drama “Commander In Chief”.

Around the 27/28 minute mark of the program, a caller remarked that with either Hillary or Condoleezza that both would take us towards a world government, with Hillary’s version based on moral anarchy and Condoleezza’s upon corporate globalism.

Instead of engaging this vital point, Dr. Mohler dismissed the caller’s concerns with a condescending chuckle and said he would have to make such a topic a different show.

Was Mohler afraid the cat would get out of the bag that little separates the two main parties at that level of politics?…….

George W. Bush Hates Spotted Owls
– By Warner Todd Huston

It’s true. I used to be a big Bush supporter, but now I just cannot do it anymore. Oh, it wouldn’t be so bad if Bush just disliked the Spotted Owl, or even birds in general, preferring dogs or some other such common American house pet. But, no, he is taking this hatred of the Spotted Owl to a typically, over the top Republican conspiracy level that just turns my stomach.

We now have it confirmed that Bush has arranged an invasion of the Spotted Owl’s Pacific-Northwestern territory by the American Barred Owl population from the southeast. It is suspected that JEB Bush has brokered a deal with these vicious Barred Owls in Florida and arranged that they will push the Spotted Owls right out of their homes.

There is no report on what the Barred Owls will get from this deal, but it is suspected that they will get a healthy share in oil exploration rights off the California coast, or maybe a giant pile of dead mice… we aren’t sure which……….

A year after election, Obama is still a superstar
– By Michael M. Bates

Even for a man who made the cover of Newsweek before he was sworn in, it’s an impressive achievement. Senator Barack Obama, according to last week’s Tribune/WGN-TV poll, wins the approval of 72 percent of Illinois voters.

If that weren’t enough, state Republicans give the new Democratic senator a 57 percent approval rating.

These results will generate more speculation about his placement on the national ticket in 2008 or 2012. They will also fuel, if more fueling were needed, the media swoon over the junior senator.

He is, we’re told constantly, a star. That message has come from the New York Times, USA Today, CBS News, the Christian Science Monitor, NBC’s Andrea Mitchell and many other news outlets and talking heads………………..

Uncivilized Protestors
– By Warner Todd Huston

We’ve been seeing it more and more; anti-war protestors gathering to protest the war in places where a person who truly cared about others just wouldn’t dream of going to protest.

We have two recent examples of this untoward phenomenon. This October a militant, anti-gay group were ignorant enough to attempt to protest the funeral of a soldier in Chelsea, Oklahoma, causing consternation among the mourners.

These uncivilized cretins attempted to disrupt the funeral of Army Staff Sgt. John Doles, 29, of Chelsea, who was killed Sept. 30 in an ambush in Afghanistan. Somehow or another these crazies imagine that the war on terror is some sort of punishment leveled by God upon America because we somehow love gays.

Even more unbelievable, these people that protested at Sgt. Dole’s funereal claim to be from a church group!

Another disgusting protest occurred last August out in front of Walter Reed Hospital, a place where where so many of our grievously wounded soldiers are sent to rehabilitate from our soldiers’ wounds………

Washington’s adventures in advertising
– By Michael M. Bates

On Monday, the Washington Post ran a story about Medicare’s new prescription drug program. The government will spend $300 million over the next three years to advertise the benefit. By Thanksgiving, Americans will be exposed to over $7 million worth of TV commercials about it.

This is a continuation of a long honored Washington policy: Instigate new programs and then do extensive “outreach” and advertising to encourage participation.

Politicians and bureaucrats join together in this endeavor. The more people they can sign up, the more evidence that the program was absolutely, positively necessary to begin with.

The pols take bows for munificently providing essential human services. The bureaucrats expand their territory, increase their influence and protect their jobs.

A classic win-win situation. Except for taxpayers………………..

Apparently Some Victims More Equal Than Others In Eyes Of Media
– By Frederick Meekins

It is said that justice is blind meaning since we are all created equal in the eyes of God we should be treated the same when it comes to the application of the law. It, therefore, follows that evil deeds are not made any more heinous when perpetrated by members of one particular ethic group or upon members of a particular ethnic group.

Ashame the mainstream media does not aspire to this standard when it comes to reporting these horrors transpiring on the underside of life. For often crimes inflicted upon minorities by members of majorities receive much more condemnation than crimes inflicted by minorities upon members of the majority in order to adhere to their prewritten script of the American as world oppressor…….
