Slain Beverly soldier explained why he served

2008-10-17T16:47:00.002-05:00

A deceased soldier explains why he believed in this cause:

If I may …
I'd like to say something....Just to get it out there so it is clear.
To all the pampered and protected Americans who feel it is their duty to inform me that I am not fighting for their freedom, and that i am a pawn in Bush's agenda of greed and oil acquisition: Noted, and [expletive deleted] You.
I am not a robot. i am not blind or ignorant to the state of the world or the implications of the "war on terrorism." i know that our leaders have made mistakes in the handling of a very sensitive situation, but do not for one second think that you can make me lose faith in what we, meaning America's sons, daughters, fathers, and mothers in uniform are doing.
I am doing my part in fighting a very real enemy of the United States, i.e. Taliban, Al Qaida, and various other radical sects of Islam that have declared war on our way of life. Unless you believe the events of 9/11 were the result of a government conspiracy, which by the way would make you a MORON, there is no reasonable argument you can make against there being a true and dangerous threat that needs to be dealt with. i don't care if there are corporations leaching off the war effort to make money, and i don't care if you don't think our freedom within America's borders is actually at stake. i just want to kill those who would harm my family and friends. it is that simple. Even if this is just a war for profit or to assert America's power, so what? Someone has to be on top and I want it to be us. There's nothing wrong with wishing prosperity for your side.

I am a proud American. i believe that my country allows me to live my life more or less however i want to, and believe me, i have seen what the alternative of that looks like. i also believe that our big scary government does way more than it has to to help complete [expletive deleted]-ups get back on their feet, a stark comparison to places where leaders just line their own pockets with gold while allowing the people who gave them their power and privilage to starve. I have chosen my corner. I back my country, and am proud to defend it against aggressors. Also, if you dare accuse us of being inhumane, or overly aggressive because we have rolled into someone else's country and blown some [expletive deleted] up and shot some people, let me remind you of just how inhumane we COULD be in defending ourselves. Let me remind you that we have a warhead that drops multiple bomblets from the stratosphere which upon impact, would turn all the sand in Iraq to glass, and reduce every living thing there to dust. Do we use it? No. Instead we use the most humane weapon ever devised: the American soldier. We send our bravest (and perhaps admitably craziest) men and women into enemy territory, into harms way, to root out those whom we are after and do our best to leave innocent lives unscathed.
...One last thing...a proposal. i know it has been stated time and time again but i just think it is worthy of reiteration. If you find yourself completely disgusted with the way America is being ran, and how we handle things on the global stage, you can leave. Isn't that amazing? No one will stop you! If you are an anarchist, there are places you can go where there is no government to tell you anything. That's right...you are left solely to your own devices and you can handle the men who show up at your door with AKs in any way that you see fit. Just don't try good old American debate tactics on them because you will most likely end up bound and blind-folded, to have your head chopped off on the internet so your parents can see it. However if you insist on staying here and taking advantage of privilages such as free speach and WIC, keep the counter-productive [expletive deleted] to a minimum while the grown ups figure out how to handle this god-awful mess in the middle east.

Don't Trust The Media

2006-03-17T00:15:00.000-05:00

Who would have thought that the American media was untrustworthy? Well...anybody with a brain in their heads.

Take a look at this article.

An Iraqi mayor says he was motivated to write a letter praising the performance of U.S. troops in his city because he believes the American public is not getting the full story about the "heroic" work they are doing.

"I'd like American citizens not to trust everything that is being said in the media because, unfortunately, most of the media is talking about negative things and about the problems," al-Jibouri said, speaking through a translator.

"They are not telling good stories about the U.S. Army's good job here in Iraq. I would like American citizens to concentrate on the pictures that show the children of Iraqis and how happy they feel when they see or meet American soldiers."

"I am happy that, through this letter, the families of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives feel they are getting a very big thank-you from the people of this city and that their families will feel proud.

"Before their sacrifices, the smiles were stolen from our children's faces. With their sacrifices, they have given us life and hope and the smiles of the children," he added.

"My main goal is to see my city healed and become stable . . . Regarding where I will end up, what kind of position I will take, that is not so important for me as long as I am serving my people and my country," he said.

Iraq's WMD Secreted in Syria

2006-01-31T20:19:00.000-05:00

What do you know? President Bush was telling the truth. The whole article is here and and an interview here.

The man's name is Georges Sada and was the number two official in Saddam's air force. He recently wrote a book called, "Saddam's Secrets," talking about what transpired in his regime. According to Mr. Sada, all of the WMDs were moved to Syria before the U.S. invasion. Saddam realized that this time the Americans really were going to do something. I guess that helps when you have a President interested in the country he represents. Slick Willie could learn something.

Here is an excerpt of the interview between Sean Hannity, Bob Beckel and Georges Sada:

HANNITY: Yes. You reveal in this book, there's been so much discussion about weapons of mass destruction, whether they had them, where they were stored, how they got rid of them, you know, when it came time for the United States to invade and where are they now? You answered these questions.

SADA: Well, I want to make it clear, very clear to everybody in the world that we had the weapon of mass destruction in Iraq, and the regime used them against our Iraqi people. It was used against Kurds in the north, against Arabs Â marsh Arabs in the south...

HANNITY: Some people say they were destroyed. Did we still have them leading up to the invasion?

SADA: No, he had a very good organization that Saddam was created to show some of them but to continue to hide.

HANNITY: So he had them.

SADA: Yes.

HANNITY: Where were they? And were they moved and where?

SADA: Well, up to the year 2002, 2002, in summer, they were in Iraq. And after that, when Saddam realized that the inspectors are coming on the first of November and the Americans are coming, so he took the advantage of a natural disaster happened in Syria, a dam was broken. So he Â he announced to the world that he is going to make an air bridge...

HANNITY: You know for a fact he moved these weapons to Syria?

SADA: Yes.

HANNITY: How do you know that?

SADA: I know it because I have got the captains of the Iraqi airway that were my friends, and they told me these weapons of mass destruction had been moved to Syria.

BECKEL: How did he move them, general? How were they moved?

SADA: They were moved by air and by ground, 56 sorties by jumbo, 747, and 27 were moved, after they were converted to cargo aircraft, they were moved to Syria.

Bin Laden Speaks Out

2006-01-19T21:04:00.000-05:00

Today Osama Bin Laden offered the United States a truce. It appears that he has been reading the liberal media because he quoted their poll numbers and pandered to their causes. He claimed that Bush is out to kill Muslims because of the Iraqi war. He neglected to mention that he was sorry for the murder of 3,000 people on September 11, 2001.

The excerpts of the speech are here.

My message to you is about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and how to end them. I did not intend to speak to you about this because this issue has already been decided. Only metal breaks metal, and our situation, thank God, is only getting better and better, while your situation is the opposite of that.

But I plan to speak about the repeated errors your President Bush has committed in comments on the results of your polls that show an overwhelming majority of you want the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq. But he (Bush) has opposed this wish and said that withdrawing troops sends the wrong message to opponents, that it is better to fight them (bin Laden's followers) on their land than their fighting us (Americans) on our land.

We don't mind offering you a long-term truce on fair conditions that we adhere to. We are a nation that God has forbidden to lie and cheat. So both sides can enjoy security and stability under this truce so we can build Iraq and Afghanistan, which have been destroyed in this war. There is no shame in this solution, which prevents the wasting of billions of dollars that have gone to those with influence and merchants of war in America who have supported Bush's election campaign with billions of dollars.

Hillary Compares GOP to Plantations

2006-01-17T18:04:00.000-05:00

Hillary Clinton compared the House GOP to plantations on MLK day.

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, speaking yesterday at a ceremony honoring the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., compared the Republican-controlled House of Representatives to a plantation where dissent is not tolerated.
Her comments, made before a predominantly black audience at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem, drew a harsh response from national Republicans, but black leaders came to her defense.

At the ceremony, Mrs. Clinton, the junior Democratic senator from New York, said that Democrats were largely responsible for much of the nation's progress in areas like civil rights and women's rights.

But she suggested that things had changed in recent years with the Republicans in control of the White House and Congress, according to a transcript of her remarks.

Mrs. Clinton added that the House has been "run like a plantation" under Republicans. "And you know what I am talking about," she said. "It has been run in a way so that nobody with a contrary point of view has had a chance to present legislation, to make an argument."

Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, accused Mrs. Clinton of using divisive and racially tinged language to score partisan points. "On a day when Americans are focused on honoring Martin Luther King, it is disappointing that Senator Clinton is focused on advancing her own agenda," she said.

But Mrs. Clinton's aides defended the comments, as did black Democratic leaders.

"As she said, under Republican rule the House leadership has stifled real and substantive debate, preventing Democrats from offering amendments and engaging in real discussion," said Philippe Reines, Mrs. Clinton's spokesman.

New Orleans Mayor Says God Mad at U.S.

2006-01-16T18:01:00.000-05:00

Ray Nagin the mayor of New Orleans took the liberty of saying something stupid again. He said, "Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country." He then went on to say, "Surely he doesn't approve of us being in Iraq under false pretenses. But surely he is upset at black America also. We're not taking care of ourselves."

Read the whole article here.

Nagin also promised that New Orleans will be a "chocolate" city again. Many of the city's black neighborhoods were heavily damaged by Katrina.
"It's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild New Orleans _ the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans," the mayor said. "This city will be a majority African American city. It's the way God wants it to be. You can't have New Orleans no other way. It wouldn't be New Orleans."

Gerald Ford Hospitalized

2006-01-16T17:58:00.000-05:00

See the whole article here.

Former President Ford was undergoing treatment for pneumonia Monday at the same facility where he was briefly hospitalized a month ago, his chief of staff said. He was said to be doing well.

Ford, 92, was admitted Saturday to Eisenhower Medical Center near his home in Rancho Mirage in Southern California, Penny Circle said.

"Based on his age it is prudent for his initial course of treatment — IV antibiotics — to be done at the hospital," Circle told The Associated Press.

Ford was admitted to the hospital Dec. 12 and left the next day. Circle said at the time that Ford had undergone a regularly scheduled health exam but noted that he also had been battling a bad cold.

Ford suffered two small strokes five years ago and spent about a week in a hospital.

He became the nation's oldest living former president after the death of Ronald Reagan in 2004.

Thomas Jefferson Spoke of the Judiciary

Alito Up Against Dems

2006-01-12T12:18:00.000-05:00

It appears that the Democrats are adamently opposed to Sam Alito despite the fact that they have very little to oppose him on.

Schumer said that while every nominee who aspires to become a Supreme Court justice bears a heavy burden of proving their worthiness, Alito's burden is "triply high."

"First, because you've been named to replace Sandra Day O'Connor, the pivotal swing vote on a divided court; second, because you seem to have been picked to placate the extreme right wing after the hasty withdrawal of Harriet Miers; and, finally, and most importantly, because your record of opinions and statements on a number of critical constitutional questions seems quite extreme," Schumer said during the hearing.
Schumer argued that on issues such as abortion, which Alito has written about in the past, he cannot employ the so-called Ginsburg rule. He and Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., added that the growing importance of the court to adjudicate on executive powers adds to Alito's "burden."

"If, tomorrow, we find our questions not being answered, if there's evasion, then I'm afraid that that burden will not be met," Durbin said. "He has gone, I'm afraid, to a marginal position when it comes to the power of the executive. We have to know if this is going to guide him if he is on the Supreme Court."

Just Confirm Sam Alito

2006-01-09T22:09:00.000-05:00

It is absolutely amazing that libs are so focused on their special interest groups, they cannot even pretend to understand the Constitution. In the Constitution, it clearly states that the president has the right to choose his nominee. No where in the document does it list that he or she must be within a certain judicial philosophy. That's not good enough for Senator Chuckie Schumer, but then again, he referred to the one who leaked the NSA spying to the New York Times as a "whistleblower."

This article says it all.

"A judge can't have any agenda, a judge can't have any preferred outcome in any particular case, and a judge certainly doesn't have a client ... the judge's sole obligation is to the rule of law," Alito said.

"Good judges are always open to changing their minds," he told the Senate Judiciary Committee.

"There is nothing more important for our republic than the rule of law," Alito said. "No person, no matter how high or powerful, is above the law and no person in this country is beneath the law."

"I have reserved my own vote on this nomination until the hearing is concluded. As chairman, I am committed to conducting a full, fair and dignified hearing. Hearings for a Supreme Court nominee should not have a political tilt for Republicans or Democrats. They should, in substantive fact and in perception, be for all Americans," Specter said.

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., told Alito that he has a triple burden to clear before he can be confirmed. That includes proving that he won't swing "the fulcrum of the court" to the right by replacing the moderate O'Connor and that he is more than just a darling of the conservatives.

"The same critics who called the president on the carpet for naming Harriet Miers have rolled out the red carpet for you, Judge Alito. We would be remiss if we did not explore why," Schumer said.

"Most importantly, though, your burden is high because of your record. Although I have not made up my mind, I have serious concerns about that record. ... You give the impression of being a meticulous legal navigator, but, in the end, you always seem to chart a rightward course."

Republicans have argued that the nominee cannot be forced to answer questions on issues that may come before him on the court; Democrats in the past have told more liberal judges like Ruth Bader Ginsburg that that same rule applies.

But Schumer argued that on issues such as abortion, which Alito has written about in the past, he cannot employ the so-called "Ginsburg rule" and refuse to answer some questions. Specter has said Alito has the right to be as brief as he wants in his answers.

Specter and Republican Sens. Orrin Hatch of Utah and Charles Grassley of Iowa bashed special-interest groups who they said are out of the "mainstream" and have been twisting and distorting the issues and cherry-picking certain decisions to characterize Alito's entire judicial philosophy in order to sway lawmakers one way or the other.

Bush said he wants the Senate to conduct the hearings in the "dignified way" he said Alito deserves.

"The Supreme Court is a dignified body; Sam is a dignified person. And my hope, of course, is that the Senate bring dignity to the process and give this man a fair hearing and an up or down vote on the Senate floor," he added.

Filling O'Connor's seat is a "pivotal appointment," since she was the fifth vote on 148 cases, said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., telling Alito, "you well could be a very key and decisive vote."

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Alito's opinion on abortion rights shouldn't exclude him from getting an up-or-down vote. For example, Ginsburg, who was appointed to the high court by President Clinton, was openly pro-Roe and was confirmed by a vote of 96 to 3.

"If she came over in this atmosphere, she wouldn't get 96 votes," Graham said, adding that those in the "mainstream" include every Republican on the committee.

"We represent from the center line to the right ditch in our party and if all of us vote for you — you've got to be pretty mainstream … if every Republican member of the Judiciary Committee votes for you and you're not mainstream, it means we're not mainstream. It's a word that means anything you want it to mean," he said.

Graham said passionate feelings run on both sides of the issue.

Aside from abortion, the scope of the executive branch of power and campaign finance reform — two big issues coming before the court shortly after Alito's confirmation vote — will also be examined. Other issues include: First Amendment rights guaranteeing freedom of speech and religion; Fourth Amendment rights relating to unreasonable search and seizure, warrants and probable cause; and the death penalty.

The issue of presidential powers is even more glaring since a frenzy erupted around Bush's authorization of the National Security Agency to eavesdrop without a warrant on American citizens talking with possible terrorists overseas.

But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., is skeptical of the president's agenda and Alito's purported deference toward it.

"In an era when the White House is abusing power, has authorized torture and is spying on American citizens, I find your support for an all-powerful executive branch and almost unlimited power for government agents to be deeply troubling," Kennedy said.

I think that it is safe to say that whenever Kennedy suggests something, it is a safe bet to do the exact opposite...such as not leaving a woman in a sinking car.

Al-Qaida Planning AIDS 'Suicide Bombers'

2006-01-09T22:07:00.000-05:00

This is down-right sick! I cannot believe that liberals want to "understand" these people. What's to understand. They kill, and when they find that there are ineffective, they look for a deadlier means.

Al-Qaida is recruiting suicide bombers who are infected with the AIDS virus, according to Britain's Sunday Mirror.
The newspaper reported that terror chiefs are also targeting fanatics who suffer other lethal blood diseases such as hepatitis and dengue fever in order to increase their "kill rate" from an explosion. The chilling new threat is revealed in papers distributed to British military camps in Iraq and across Europe.
Under the heading "HIV/Hepatitis" the document states: "There is evidence that terrorists might be deliberately recruiting volunteers with diseases that are spread by blood transference."
Experts have found that bones and other blood-spattered fragments from a suicide bomber could penetrate the skin of a victim more than 50 yards away and infect them.

Perspective On Iraq

2006-01-09T22:04:00.000-05:00

Burt Prelutsky is right on. I could not agree more. Below is an excerpt. The entire column is here.

As I say, I was in favor of invading Iraq whether or not Hussein was funding research on a nuclear bomb for many of the same reasons I would have been predisposed to invading Nazi Germany in the 1930s and getting rid of Adolf Hitler, even if I’d been unaware that Werner von Braun and his band of elves were working on the V-2 rocket.
For all the faults that people find with President Bush, a few of which even I acknowledge, his determination to bring democracy to a part of the world where it’s almost as rare as a ham sandwich convinces me that history -- at least history written by the politically unbiased -- will judge him favorably.

Jack Abramoff Proves Too Much Government Is A Bad Thing

2006-01-09T22:02:00.000-05:00

In light of the Jack Abramoff scandal, it is apparent that we need to have a smaller government. Star Parker outlines the specific issues here.

Already there is talk in Washington about "lobbying reform legislation." Washington has seen many scandals over the years, followed by a lot of reform legislation that was supposed to close the gaps allowing improper influence and corruption. Yet, despite a lot of laws about what lobbyists can and can't do, along came Abramoff to show what a truly talented, creative, and energetic liar and charlatan can accomplish.
There are two themes here to remember.
First, excessive government is a big part of the problem. The more of our lives that we turn over to politicians and bureaucrats, the more we expand the scope of the culture of power and influence that emerges from this. When we address corruption with new laws, we just make government bigger and therefore expose ourselves to more, not less, of the same problem.
Second, the more we choose to believe that our problem is not enough laws, the more we distort the truth that the problem is corrupt people, not a corrupt system.

Saddam Training al Qaeda

2006-01-08T00:37:00.000-05:00

Who would have thought that President Bush was in fact telling the truth. Certainly not the libs in Congress or the media. Fortunately, some members of the media do their homework and can accurately deliver the news. The whole article is here, but I will add an excerpt below.

THE FORMER IRAQI REGIME OF Saddam Hussein trained thousands of radical Islamic terrorists from the region at camps in Iraq over the four years immediately preceding the U.S. invasion, according to documents and photographs recovered by the U.S. military in postwar Iraq. The existence and character of these documents has been confirmed to THE WEEKLY STANDARD by eleven U.S. government officials.

The secret training took place primarily at three camps--in Samarra, Ramadi, and Salman Pak--and was directed by elite Iraqi military units. Interviews by U.S. government interrogators with Iraqi regime officials and military leaders corroborate the documentary evidence. Many of the fighters were drawn from terrorist groups in northern Africa with close ties to al Qaeda, chief among them Algeria's GSPC and the Sudanese Islamic Army. Some 2,000 terrorists were trained at these Iraqi camps each year from 1999 to 2002, putting the total number at or above 8,000. Intelligence officials believe that some of these terrorists returned to Iraq and are responsible for attacks against Americans and Iraqis. According to three officials with knowledge of the intelligence on Iraqi training camps, White House and National Security Council officials were briefed on these findings in May 2005; senior Defense Department officials subsequently received the same briefing.

Strong Economy

Maybe it is just the Bush-haters who fail to see the economic growth since President Bush's tax cuts, but unemployment is now at 4.9%. For anybody with any economics background, they know that 5% is considered, no unemployment.

Give President Bush Some Credit

2006-01-06T17:22:00.000-05:00

Check out this article called, "The Dog That Has Not Barked."

1,576 days have passed since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and still there has been no subsequent terrorist assault on American soil.

Is this just good luck, or is it the result of good policy?

The danger is that the farther 9/11 recedes in memory, the less we appreciate that it hasn’t happened again. When it comes to the war on terror, many Americans have become short-sighted, ungrateful and decadent.

Consider “Munich,” the new Steven Spielberg film. The movie, which last month was the subject of a cover story in Time magazine, follows the response to the brutal murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. According to Spielberg’s version of events, Israel commissioned a small team to travel throughout Europe to assassinate the terrorists behind the killings.

Rather than an inspiring story of justice and deterrence, Spielberg’s movie is a depressing tale of retaliation as counterproductive and morally corrupting. In an interview, the director said, “A response to a response doesn’t solve anything.” Instead, you need to sit down and talk things out “until you’re blue in the gills.”

There’s little doubt that Spielberg is referring, not just to Munich 1972 but to America post-9/11. The last shot in the film catches the twin towers of the World Trade Center in the background.

Several times in “Munich,” characters point out that, if the Israelis kill a terrorist, many more will rise to replace him, and these successors will be even worse. That may have been true with Nazis during World War II, but what is the alternative? To let the World Court handle the matter? To try to reason till you’re blue in the gills with Black September and al-Qaeda? Spielberg calls his movie a “prayer for peace,” but it is highly likely that calling a halt to the hunt for bin Laden and his henchmen will lead to more bloodshed, not less.
The terrorists’ lack of success is the result of a response that has been aggressive and single-minded -- at home, in Iraq and in places we know little about. The policy is working. It has kept us safe. We tamper with it at our own extreme peril.

Rapist Gets 60 Days In Jail

2006-01-05T17:28:00.000-05:00

If only Michael Jackson stood before Judge Edward Cashman, he would not have had any financial trouble. He would have simply sat in jail for the maximum of 60 days. Apparently this judge does not believe the loss of an 11 year old girl's innocence is worthy of punishment.

He said, "The one message I want to get through is that anger doesn't solve anything. It just corrodes your soul." He stated that he handed down stiff sentences at one point, but went on to say, "I discovered it accomplishes nothing of value;it doesn't make anything better;it costs us a lot of money; we create a lot of expectation, and we feed on anger."

It is time to impeach this guy. He clearly is on the wrong side of the law. Naturally the family of this young girl is outraged, as is any logical person.

2005 Conservative Movies

2006-01-03T17:50:00.000-05:00

We all knew that they had to exist. This is the list.

I honestly can say that I have not seen the majority of them. From the list I have seen Batman Begins, King Kong and Memoirs of the Geisha. Personally, I only saw Batman Begins as being in line with Conservative values, as it is truly patriotic.

Batman Begins – The film offers a new take on the comic-book hero, especially his origins. Absent are the silly super-villains with their tricks and weaponry. In place of “those wonderful toys” (as the Joker calls the Caped Crusader’s tools of the trade in the first Batman movie), we have a truly dark knight, trained in martial arts and mind-control in the Far East.

As Batman struggles to understand the nature of evil and the difference between justice and revenge, he confronts his most deadly challenge – the League of Shadows (led by the charismatic Ra’s Al Ghul). Ra’s is a mirror image of Batman, where the fight against evil is perverted into a self-righteous, ego trip. In other words, Christian Bale’s Dark Knight ends up battling his darker side.

There’s a strong cast, including Michael Caine as loyal butler Alfred, Katie Holmes as Bruce Wayne’s love interest and Liam Neeson as the villain who seeks to destroy Batman by corrupting him. This is a superhero movie with a message worth contemplating.

Revenge Of The Sith & Terrorism

2006-01-02T01:25:00.000-05:00

I watched Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge Of The Sith today and could not help remembering the nonsense that the liberals were pushing near its release. They contended that the movie was a fantasy viewing of modern day America and portrayed President Bush as the Emporer (also the Sith Lord) and Darth Vader. The whole article is here.

I do recall at the time that intelligent people, ones who take the terrorism threat realistically viewed the film of an example of what happens if evil is not eliminated when the chance is available.

For those who are unfamiliar with the story, Obi Wan Kanobi has the chance to kill Darth Vader, but does not. Instead he leaves him to burn in the volcanic eruption. Unfortunately for the Jedi, the Emporer rehabilitated Vader into the monster of the original Star Wars trilogy.

The liberals would have us believe that terrorism would simply disappear if we chose to ignore it. Intelligent individuals know that true evil will always avenge their losses and they have proven themselves throughout the '90s with the first World Trade Center attack, the bombing of the U.S. Embassies and the U.S.S Cole.

Had Obi Wan killed Vader when he had the chance, the Emporer would have been easier to destroy and the original trilogy would never had been. It is possible that had Clinton attacked Al Queda and Iraq as he planned (see previous post) that 9/11 might not have occurred. I find it interesting that without this one event, President Bush might not have shown the strength of a leader, and subsequently would not have been re-elected.

The libs praise Clinton and her perverse lifestyle, yet never mention his major inadequecies when it comes to leadership. Clinton helped the liberals arch nemesis win a second term.

Happy New Year

2006-01-01T00:00:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year to all. Let's hope that 2006 brings good news for America and all of the people who live in this great nation. Let's look forward to the further development of Iraq, and hope good things continue to happen for the people of that nation.

South Park Republicans - The Party Majority

2005-12-31T17:15:00.000-05:00

I learned of the title "South Park Republicans" a while back but never really thought much about it. I came across this website that elaborated on the concept. In short, the name refers to the majority of modern day Republicans. These are the moderates of the party. Often times we Republicans are portrayed by the media and Howard Dean as "White Christian Males." The fact remains that we are much more than that.

The Republican A-list now includes Colin Powell, Christie Whitman, J.C. Watts, and Condoleeza Rice. Women and minorities have been making great strides in the party, but they generally dress, talk, and act like their predecessors. You are more likely to find them at a formal reception than a rock concert.

If Republicans are so different from mainstream America, then who voted for them? The nation has more Republican congressmen and state governors than any other political party, plus control of the White House. There are not enough Alex P. Keatons to account for these election results. Our nation is among the most diverse on earth. Half of the voters are women, a quarter are minorities. There are millions of union workers, retirees, immigrants, government workers, customer service employees, and individuals in low paying jobs, unemployed or on some form of public assistance. All of these groups are expected to lean left. Surely, the stodgy, affluent, religious white guys are outnumbered in the electorate by a huge margin. Yet Republicans candidates still do well. How is that possible?

The answer could very well be the "South Park Republicans." The name stems from the primetime cartoon "South Park" that clearly demonstrates the contrast within the party. The show is widely condemned by some moralists, including members of the Christian right. Yet in spite of its coarse language and base humor, the show persuasively communicates the Republican position on many issues, including hate crime legislation ("a savage hypocrisy"), radical environmentalism, and rampant litigation by ambitious trial lawyers. In one episode, industrious gnomes pick apart myopic anti-corporate rhetoric and teach the main characters about the benefits of capitalism.

South Park Republicans are true Republicans, though they do not look or act like Pat Robertson. They believe in liberty, not conformity. They can enjoy watching The Sopranos even if they are New Jersey Italians. They can appreciate the tight abs of Britney Spears or Brad Pitt without worrying about the nation's decaying moral fiber. They strongly believe in liberty, personal responsibility, limited government, and free markets. However, they do not live by the edicts of political correctness.

The South Park Republicans are an incredibly diverse group encompassing a variety of nontraditional conservatives, such as the Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Bruce Willis supported Republicans because of their commitment to lower taxes and fiscal discipline. Rap artist and movie actor LL Cool J recently endorsed NY governor George Pataki.

The most important South Park Republicans are not famous. They are the millions of people of every age, race, sex, and religion that generally agree that government spending is usually not the best way to deal with the nation's problems. Many of these individuals can tell you why Ayn Rand should displace some other authors in high school literature classes. They know firsthand from endless hours at the DMV, at the post office, and preparing income tax forms that government wastes time and money. They know a nation cannot tax its way to greatness.

US Citizens Happy with NSA Listening

2005-12-29T09:55:00.000-05:00

According to the latest Rasmussen poll, most Americans are pleased with the eavesdropping. The anti-American New York Times must be disappointed. Check out the article here.

Sixty-four percent (64%) of Americans believe the National Security Agency (NSA) should be allowed to intercept telephone conversations between terrorism suspects in other countries and people living in the United States. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 23% disagree.
Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Americans say they are following the NSA story somewhat or very closely.
Just 26% believe President Bush is the first to authorize a program like the one currently in the news. Forty-eight percent (48%) say he is not while 26% are not sure.
Eighty-one percent (81%) of Republicans believe the NSA should be allowed to listen in on conversations between terror suspects and people living in the United States. That view is shared by 51% of Democrats and 57% of those not affiliated with either major political party.

Putting the War in Iraq into Perspective

2005-12-28T01:53:00.000-05:00

I found this link called "Rational 101."

It shows charts of all of the American wars to date and explains how the liberals think, although it is not difficult to determine. The charts are the main asset because it shows the lives lost in each war. Liberals view anything good for President Bush as automatically bad, even if it is in the best interest of the country.

Movie Die Hard Press Just As Bad as New York Times

2005-12-28T01:45:00.000-05:00

I just watched Die Hard 1 & 2 today, and I noticed some startling. The press in these movies, especially the second, seemed to go out of its way to counter act the positive measures that the executive branch was taking at that time. For example, the anchor in the second movie managed to get on the frequency of the terrorists. Rather than assisting the police, the anchor decided to broadcast the horrific events over the air waves in the airport which in turned terrified the passengers waiting.

It seems like something the New York Times would do. Just look at the wiretap leak

Saddam Reiterates Claims of Torture, Denouncement of Washington's 'Lies'

2005-12-22T18:58:00.000-05:00

Saddam is using comments made by the Democrats against America. He claims he was tortured. That is priceless! Read the article here.

Mexico Promises to Block Border Wall Plan

2005-12-22T18:55:00.000-05:00

What do you know, Mexico plans to oppose the United States a.k.a its meal ticket building a wall to keep its citizens out. The whole article is here.

President had legal authority to OK taps

2005-12-22T18:46:00.000-05:00

We all know that the "New York Times" is as reliable as any tabloid, and it has been increasingly going down the tubes. It is so amazing that the paper releases one controversy a week in hopes of nailing President Bush. They mistakenly think that they will help their political party gain the House and Senate, and maybe one day the presidency. This is their latest attempt. Apparently, the President was well within his rights, and every President in the last 25 years has placed wiretaps on people suspected of harming the United States.

Mayor Begs Schwarzenegger Not to Cut Ties

1st Amendment 'doesn't create church-state wall of separation'

2005-12-22T18:37:00.000-05:00

Anybody who has ever read the Bill of Rights knows that the 1st Amendment 'doesn't create church-state wall of separation'. Unfortunately, very few people in modern society know this fact. Fortunately, a court finally stood up to the ACLU (American Criminal Liberties Union) and let them know it. The article is here.

Katrina Death Break-down

2005-12-18T18:30:00.000-05:00

We all heard the liberal leaders talking about the death toll on African Americans. Well, it turns out that Caucasian deaths were nearly as high. The full report is here in PDF form . I copied a portion and pasted it below.

Austria Angry with Arnold over Tookie

2005-12-17T21:48:00.000-05:00

Arnold Schwarzenegger is catching heat from Austria because he did not grant clemency to the quadruple murderer Stanley "Tookie" Williams. Check out the ridiculousness here.

Check this site. People are actually morning the death of a murder. Fox has the details here.

Democrats Angry With Joe Lieberman

2005-12-11T01:47:00.000-05:00

Who would have guessed that Joe Lieberman's comments about the war in Iraq would anger some libs? After all, Senator Lieberman has actually been to Iraq...four times this year. My original post is here. Most of his colleagues just like to talk, and the most vocal have either never been there, or have not been there in ages. This Senator, who was definitely too good to be the running mate of Al "Sore Loser" Gore. Perhaps we will see him change parties to the more rational GOP. The whole article of Lieberman-bashing is here.

Is Bush Trying to Convert Troops to GOP?

2005-12-06T22:21:00.000-05:00

According to this article, Bush is using his time to convert troops to GOP members during his speeches before them.

As the article states, even though his poll numbers are low, the President is loved by the troops. The libs have complained that he has used his time in front of the largely Republican base of the troops to discuss the Democrat's inconsistencies about Iraq.

Don't Trust A Democrat With Nat'l Security

2005-12-06T22:08:00.000-05:00

I has become clear that between John Kerry and Howard Dean, as the two most vocal of the Democrat moonbats, that the party cannot be trusted with national security.

Republicans are not without faults either. They cannot stop spending money on “pork projects.” I would love to see a third,”Conservative" party develop. Unfortunately, the odds are not in my favor. Fortunately there are many more logical GOP's than there are libs.

Plus, if I were forced to choose between the budget and national security, I would definately choose security.

Howard Dean & His Can't Win Attitude

2005-12-06T21:58:00.000-05:00

Howard Dean is the GOP's best friend. He wants to withdraw the National Guard and Reserve troops immediately and then the remaining troops in the next two years. The whole article is here.

He said, "the idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong,"

In the same interview on WOAI Radio in San Antonio he said:

I've seen this before in my life. This is the same situation we had in Vietnam. Everybody then kept saying, 'just another year, just stay the course, we'll have a victory.' Well, we didn't have a victory, and this policy cost the lives of an additional 25,000 troops because we were too stubborn to recognize what was happening.

He went on to say:

The White House wants us to have a permanent commitment to Iraq. This is an Iraqi problem. President Bush got rid of Saddam Hussein and that was a great thing, but that could have been done in a very different way. But now that we're there we need to figure out how to leave. 80% of Iraqis want us to leave, and it's their country.

What we see today is very much like what was going in Watergate. It turns out there is a lot of good evidence that President Bush did not tell the truth when he was asking Congress for the power to go to war. The President said last week that Congress saw the same intelligence that he did in making the decision to go to war, and that is flat out wrong. The President withheld some intelligence from the Senate Intelligence Committee. He withheld the report from the CIA that in fact there was no evidence of weapons of mass destruction (in Iraq), that they did not have a nuclear program. They (the White House) selectively gave intelligence to the United States Senate and the United States Congress and got them to give the go ahead to attack these people.

Saddam Tells Judge: 'Go to Hell'

Saddam definately still wants to show his power. Today he told the judge to, "Go to hell!"

Hillary Heckled By Libs

2005-12-05T13:09:00.000-05:00

This is absolutely priceless! Hillary was heckled by a bunch of anti-war nuts in Chicago today at Roosevelt University. Who says that the youth is spiraling out of control? These college kids and I emphasize that term, were yelling and screaming because Hillary Clinton is not a proponent of immediate troop withdrawal.

The article, which is short, is here, along with a video of these nuts.

What? Kerry saying something stupid?

2005-12-05T12:57:00.000-05:00

Apparently, on "Meet The Press," John F. Kerry, Mr. I voted for the war before voting against it, stated the following:

Sen. KERRY: Let me--I--first of all, there is so much more that unites Democrats than divides us. And Democrats have much more in common with each other than they do with George Bush's policy right now. Now Joe Lieberman, I believe, also voted for the resolution which said the president needs to make more clear what he's doing and set out benchmarks, and that the policy hasn't been working. We all believe him when you say, `Stay the course.' That's the president's policy, which hasn't been changing, which is a policy of failure. I don't agree with that. But I think what we need to do is recognize what we all agree on, which is you've got to begin to set benchmarks for accomplishment. You've got to begin to transfer authority to the Iraqis. And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the--of--the historical customs, religious customs. Whether you like it or not...

Apparently, John Kerry thinks that disagreeing with the president is more important than to support his troops. I guess he is following the "Sheehan" mentality of opposing logic as well. He even disregarded Joe Lieberman, a senator who actually travelled to Iraq to report the status. Feel free to view the whole ridiculous conversation between Kerry and Bob Schieffer here.

A Democrat With A Brain

2005-12-04T12:57:00.000-05:00

I realize that most Democrats don't have the ability to think outside of their group. Thankfully, Joe Lieberman is one who can. I disagree with him on censoring video games, but when it comes to Iraq he is spot on.

He recently wrote an Op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal about his fourth trip to Iraq. (View it here) Considering that he thought that there is "real progress," there is no surprise why the main stream media has largely ignored him and focused on John Murtha's asinine logic.

Here is some of his piece:

I have just returned from my fourth trip to Iraq in the past 17 months and can report real progress there. More work needs to be done, of course, but the Iraqi people are in reach of a watershed transformation from the primitive, killing tyranny of Saddam to modern, self-governing, self-securing nationhood--unless the great American military that has given them and us this unexpected opportunity is prematurely withdrawn.
Progress is visible and practical. In the Kurdish North, there is continuing security and growing prosperity. The primarily Shiite South remains largely free of terrorism, receives much more electric power and other public services than it did under Saddam, and is experiencing greater economic activity. The Sunni triangle, geographically defined by Baghdad to the east, Tikrit to the north and Ramadi to the west, is where most of the terrorist enemy attacks occur. And yet here, too, there is progress.
There are many more cars on the streets, satellite television dishes on the roofs, and literally millions more cell phones in Iraqi hands than before. All of that says the Iraqi economy is growing. And Sunni candidates are actively campaigning for seats in the National Assembly. People are working their way toward a functioning society and economy in the midst of a very brutal, inhumane, sustained terrorist war against the civilian population and the Iraqi and American military there to protect it.
It is a war between 27 million and 10,000; 27 million Iraqis who want to live lives of freedom, opportunity and prosperity and roughly 10,000 terrorists who are either Saddam revanchists, Iraqi Islamic extremists or al Qaeda foreign fighters who know their wretched causes will be set back if Iraq becomes free and modern. The terrorists are intent on stopping this by instigating a civil war to produce the chaos that will allow Iraq to replace Afghanistan as the base for their fanatical war-making. We are fighting on the side of the 27 million because the outcome of this war is critically important to the security and freedom of America. If the terrorists win, they will be emboldened to strike us directly again and to further undermine the growing stability and progress in the Middle East, which has long been a major American national and economic security priority.

Blog not abandoned

2005-12-04T12:56:00.000-05:00

I realize that I have not updated my blog recently, but with work and school, I have been busy. I will continue it in the future.

Michelle Malkin Event Tonight

2005-11-17T21:44:00.000-05:00

I just returned from an event with Michelle Malkin as the speaker. She was absolutely phenominal. She outlined the content political nonsense that we must endure as Republicans.

She mentioned Ward Churchill and college administration nutjobs who routinely bash the military and prevent recruiters from doing their job. Of course, San Fransisco just decided that military recruiters do not belong on school campuses, and banned guns.

Bill O'Reilly had interesting comments on that the other day.

Michelle also showed a great deal of images that showed how far the left-wing kooks have gone with their anti-American/Bush Bashing rampage. These liberals showed banners promoting the terrorists in Iraq, and made constant claims that 9/11 was an inside job. Check out this college professor.

Liberal Wimps

2005-11-17T20:00:00.000-05:00

According to this article, John Murtha thinks that it is time to leave Iraq. Apparently, he wants to devalue the deaths of the proud Americans who lost their lives to bring a nation freedom, by quitting before the job is done. Why can't he, and his ilk take this advise and resign from the Senate? After all, if they are so passionate about being quitters, they should quit their jobs and leave the responsibility of governing the country to the responsible members of Congress.

Enjoy the sarcasm, but the reaction of the libs to the Iraqi war has remained constant since they realized that it benefitted Republicans.

Bush Fights Back

2005-11-15T21:00:00.000-05:00

I am so relieved that President Bush finally starting using his backbone again. It is so clear that the Democrats have lied, and the GOP posted on its site the evidence.

Click here to see it.

It is so funny how a few years can change an entire party's perception of a situation. In the Clinton years and even up to the beginning of the war, Libs were using Saddam's WMDs to show that they had spines. Now that the President has accomplished what Slick Willie could not, they all did a complete 180.

Check out the video to see for yourself.

Republican Frustration

2005-11-12T00:17:00.000-05:00

I have been a Republican for seven years, or since I was 20 years old. I love my party because it is the only one of the two that makes sense, or did. I think that it is time for a third major political party develop and tackle the problems with the Democrats and the Republicans. Neither of these two parties seem to have any achievements as of late. Most Republicans are at least hawks when it comes to terrorism, their saving grace, but they submit to pressures with the Lefties who want to ensure that we can never be self-sufficient with oil production, and they entertain each conspiracy theory that the Lefties throw at them. If the majority had any true power it would bulldoze through the nonsense and exert the power that the majority should have and accomplish their goals of reducing government, and spending, passing legislation that would allow us to provide ourselves with energy and tell the Lefties (i.e. Democrats) to take a hike.

Democrat policies do not work, and other than stating the obvious of "protecting our civil liberties," which basically means demoralizing the troops, stealing religion from believers and pushing political correctness, they have accomplished nothing, yet they still have a platform.

Republicans on the other hand have freed slaves (we were considered radical back then too)...Thanks Abraham Lincoln (1st Republican president), gave women and freed slaves the right to vote and pushed for the civil rights movement forty years ago. What can the Democrats say that they have achieved? Unfortunately through their smear campaigns of forty years, they have managed to convince Americans that they are the ones who accomplished the above tasks.

Neglecting the blog

2005-11-12T00:14:00.000-05:00

I have been neglecting my blog lately, which I plan to change. I have also decided to make this blog strictly political from here on out.

Enjoy!

Vivian & I Broke Up

2005-11-11T23:56:00.000-05:00

The title says it all. From here on out, the blog will be political.

Clinton says Iraq needs a new government

2005-10-27T16:45:00.000-05:00

Why is it that the lefties think that when Bill Clinton stresses a point and then fails to act, it is a great idea, yet when George W. Bush says the same thing, it is bad?

On December 16, 1998 Bill Clinton stated:

The hard fact is that so long as Saddam remains in power, he threatens the well-being of his people, the peace of his region, the security of the world.

The best way to end that threat once and for all is with a new Iraqi government -- a government ready to live in peace with its neighbors, a government that respects the rights of its people. Bringing change in Baghdad will take time and effort. We will strengthen our engagement with the full range of Iraqi opposition forces and work with them effectively and prudently.

I encourage everybody to read the entire transcript before making asinine claims that President Bush lied about the WMDs.

Another Bunny

2005-09-25T20:06:00.000-05:00

Well, today I went with Vivian to a House of Rabbit Society adoption day to adopt a third rabbit. He is a cute little guy, who is still unnamed. My other two seem to get along with him well, so the arrangement should work well. Vivian certainly liked "Mr. Bunny."

John Roberts is ready for up/down vote

2005-09-22T19:23:00.000-05:00

Why did the seven "maverick" Republicans have to go and make a deal with the so-called "moderate" seven Democrats? For weeks we have been hearing about John Roberts' confirmation hearings. Had we gone "nuclear" we would have had to waste time and money on these judiciary hearings and he could have simply had the up or down vote that he was due. Instead McCain and other RINO's (Republican in name only) decided to make a deal that would theoretically avoid a Democratic filibuster.

Fast-forward to today. John Roberts was granted his up or down vote by the Republicans and three Democrats. What a surprise! Democrats did not want to vote for him because he might be a Thomas, Rehnquist or Scalia, and actually read the Constitution before deeming the pledge of allegiance unconstitutional. Personally, I think that Thomas or Scalia should have been made Chief Justice, as they deserve the promotion. Next we get to go through the whole process again when it comes time to replace Sandra Day O'Connor. I guarantee the libs will be up in arms if Bush nominates Janice Rodgers Brown or Priscilla Owen, both women who also understand the meaning of the Constitution. Considering that the Republicans have both houses of Congress, an up or down vote would be very nice right about now.

Bush Annoyances

2005-09-21T22:31:00.000-05:00

I am staunch Republican and a strong Bush supporter, but he keeps apologizing for the New Orleans hurricane and is providing Federal funds for the resolution. According to the 10th Amendment, New Orleans and the problems the corrupt jurisdiction has are the responsibility of the local and state government. President Bush has decided to fund all repairs with Federal, i.e. our money. If it was not for the biased media, he would not be apologizing for not using authority that he does not have.

Maybe it is just me, but Louisiana should have avoided the pet projects and prepared for a category 4 hurricane years ago when the money was appropriated for the levees. Texas was well prepared for Hurricane Rita. I think this link says it all.

The Vivian Saga

2005-09-21T22:28:00.000-05:00

Vivian and I are still going strong. We see each other every weekend, and last weekend we went to Long Island for a wedding. It was a nice trip. I got to spend time with her brother and sister-in-law during the 6-hour car-ride to Flushing, where we stayed and then drove to Long Island. The wedding was nice, and I got to meet a lot of her friends. I don't know what will be in store for our future, but I am confident that it will be good.

9/11/2001 - We Will Never Forget

2005-09-11T21:35:00.000-05:00

Today is the four year anniversary of 911. Most of us will never forget. Some of us clearly have, as we hear them daily and throughout most of the media. I choose to never forget, and honor those lost that day and the ones who followed in retaliation.

Today I took time to reflect on what happened and where I was. I was at a mediocre job in Baltimore City, for an internship in my last year of school. The office staff crowded into the owner's office to watch the situation unfold. I remember walking into the room and seeing one tower burning. During that time, another plane appeared and crashed into the other tower. What seemed like only moments later, we heard that the Pentagon was hit. Shortly thereafter, the towers collapsed.

On September 20, 2001, President Bush addressed the nation, which profoundly affected me. (View it here) I had a minor interest in politics during the much contested 2000 election, but after this event, my interest grew. It was such a great feeling when we were in unity. We were all looking for ways to best protect our country. We all showed our patriotism. In fact, as I am writing this now, I am thinking about what the founding fathers might have thought seeing their country attacked. I imagine that it would be similar to their reaction to the British. Did we fight or did we hide? Well, the answer is simple. Had we not fought, we might still be under British rule. History has a way of repeating itself. The technology has changed since the American Revolution, but the fact remains that there are still men who wish to hurt us, and America has the will to survive.

God Bless America

Update

2005-08-25T23:42:00.000-05:00

Vivian and I are still going strong. We are now totally in love. She is by far the great gal I have ever met, and since meeting her, my life has only gotten better.

Isn't she gorgeous? You must answer YES!

Another great time with Vivian

2005-08-24T15:16:00.000-05:00

Life has only gotten better since I met her. Of course I am talking about Vivian. I spent a great deal of time with her yesterday and enjoyed every minute of it. Since saying goodbye and travelling home, she has been on my mind. I just can't wait to speak with her again!

Birthday with Vivian

2005-08-18T23:13:00.000-05:00

Today was my birthday, and I had the luxery of spending most of the day with Vivian. The picture to the right was taken last week, but we are both very happytogether. In fact, I can't imagine the last time I was this happy.

Today we went to my parents' house for my birthday dinner, and she got to meet my family. They already reported back that they really like her a lot and they think that she is very sweet. I told that that I could not agree more.

Talking to Vivian

2005-08-16T20:59:00.000-05:00

Every day now has a silver lining because I speak with Vivian at least three times a day. Whether it be through email or on the phone while I'm at lunch. She never fails to make me smile.

It's Official

2005-08-13T19:53:00.000-05:00

Today was my first day in a relationship with Vivian. I inadvertantly asked her the other day, but it remained unofficial until we saw each other today. I must say that I have never been happier.

We were planning to have a picnic today, and then go swimming, but instead, we just ate on the couch and watched television. Afterwards, we went swimming. It is amazing to me how time can fly so fast when I am with the right woman. I have spoken to a few of my friends and stated numerous times how much she and I have in common, and could not be happier.

I may update this a little later, as we are going out to eat soon.

The First Day

I plan to add to this shortly, but I needed to start somewhere.
