This is a very interesting analysis of the immigrant voter. It also underscores the problems the Republican party faces in future elections. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2010/12/24/numbers_may_not_tip_for_gop_108343.html How do we avoid the Hispanic voting bloc becoming the 90%+ African American pro Democrat voting bloc. Comprehensive Immigration reform is not going to change one voters mind. Since I don't understand the mind set of the democrat voter, I don;t have an answer today. Maybe you do?

2010-05-12T04:12:00.002-06:00

Robert Samuelson lays out a mind numbing scenario of the problems faced by this country and the rest of the world. Will we take the necessary steps to reduce our debt or will we be forced to do so in the near of far future? From the smallest towns to the largest cities and states, we have made promises that cannot be met. Unsustainable growth in the costs of unfunded liabilities are going to crush the worlds developed economies.

Obey Retires! NYT whitewash and Huffington Post Ignores

2010-05-06T06:22:00.002-06:00

The NYT tries to spin the retirement of the most powerful member of the house ways and means committee as some everyday thing, and the Huffington Post would rather bash Rush and Sarah than post this news. The only reference I can find on the Huffington Post is a search of their site which results in a total of (1) AP article. But I'm considered the low information Voter. The left is in deep trouble in November, they know it, and they don't know how to fix it. Next up is Comprehensive Immigration reform. More bad laws the majority of this country don't want jammed down our throats. Last chance before We take the country back!

The Administration is Incompetent and the Media covers it up!

Read the article and you'll find 40 whole people protested a baseball game in Chicago. A lawyer group for activist immigrants (most likely illegal) canceled their conference in Arizona. Lets just see how the rest of the "unbiased" MSM reports these events.

2010-04-02T06:33:00.003-06:00

Skim this Huffington Post Article and then move on down to the comment section. This is what the left does to any effective political foe. They lie and slime. Since they cannot win on the merits of the argument, they must destroy the messenger. I am willing to bet that of all the posters to this sight, maybe 1% have ever spent more than 1 hour listening to either Rush or Glen. Instead they hammer the average radio listener as a stupid, hard working, don't know whats good for them, lemming. They make statements about the programming without knowing what was in that programming.

So this is how its going to be. Diasagree and your a Racist!

Rich is the race baiting fool here. This whole affair has nothing to do with race and everything to do with principals. We need less federal government in our lives not more. Anything the government gets involved with turns out bad. We cannot afford any more goodies to the constituents. Our Projected debt is $20 trillion by 2020 or 90% of GDP. Frank needs to argue the merits of the legislation not try to demonize over half of the American electorate.

That's right. I want to know who is behind this crap. I suspect this is an inside job designed by the Democrats to smear the Republicans and the Tea Party. Just visit any left leaning blog or news gathering site and the posters are all using the same meme, Republicans are inciting violence. This looks like a rules for radicals technique to discredit an opponent. The thuggery of the left is going to increase as we get closer the the November midterms. Their Majority is in jeopardy and they cannot win on substance.

You Democrats call this a victory. Again I say, Dems are going to get their asses handed to them im November. No Jobs, no economic growth, and no approval.

This is how the Media is going to Report This "Historic Vote"

2010-03-21T21:59:00.003-06:00

What a joke!! According the the NY Times, Obama carried the dems over the finish line. He willed it! This is an out right lie. They bought, begged and weaseled the votes they needed. Stupak and his crew caved on their principals and allowed the government funding of abortion (Not an issue of mine). The Dems now own this economy lock, stock, and barrel. No more excuses. They doubled down of the failings of the original stimulus and with the passage of this monstrosity called health care reform, have sealed their fate for good or bad. If all their progressive claims and promises come to pass, the Conservative principals I believe in are dead for a generation. In my opinion, this is not possible. This present administration has been built on lies. The passage of this bill is possible only because of lies. Lies will fall to the truth sooner than later, and the American People will come to realize that they have been sold a bill of goods. I only hope the damage done by the left can be controlled for the next few months and reversed over the next several years. My children and grand children will be forced to pay for the foolishness of this course. The Dems are celebrating today, but tomorrow they are going to have to fulfill the promise of this terrible legislation. Good Luck!

Watching the house of representatives is better television than March Madness. Jesse Jackson Jr. cannot answer point of order questions, and Louise Slaughter will not answer a straight up question about the Senate bill being the only Law being passed today. These Dems are drunk on the possibility of passage. The hangover will last past November 2010.

Dangers Lie Ahead for the Democrat Party

2010-03-21T10:34:00.002-06:00

Just like the Democrat stimulus bill, this health care bill will be completely on them. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/20/AR2010032003349_2.html?hpid=topnews&sid=ST2010032001699 You can project the effectiveness of this bill by the effectiveness of the Stimulus. Last months deficits were over $200 billion dollars. More than any of W's yearly deficits. Pretty effective stimulus huh.

2010-03-10T06:10:00.002-07:00

Time has a way of correcting the lies. Many on the left have called the George W, administration the worst presidency in American history. Its amazing how for many people, history begins with the date of their birth and then is clouded by their perspective. Any how, praise for W from of all places Jeff Jacoby and the Boston Globe 'http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2010/03/10/mission_accomplished_indeed/', not exactly the Weekly Standard or National Review.

Why would they even Reconcile?

2010-03-07T11:37:00.003-07:00

The question is why would the Senate even reconcile once the House passes the Obamacare bill. Once the house gives up 216 yes votes, the deal is done. The President signs the bill and the county is well on its way to a socialist medical system. Reconciliation is a red herring!

This is why Conservatism will win in 2010

2010-03-07T09:31:00.002-07:00

Just a small example of how the left is going to "win" in 2010. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/06/AR2010030602239_2.html. Let me see if I get their logic. The country as a whole, and particularly the independents in the middle are running scared from a hard left agenda. What is the answer, fund a hard left candidate to take on the Moderate in=a primary. The same thing is happening here in Colorado. I guess its the right thing to do considering that both Lincoln and Bennett are doomed, as well as many of the democrats, come November. The American people were conned in 2008, believing in 'Hope and Change", and are now really pissed off. The country is still a center right leaning nation and are not at all happy with the truth of the democrats agenda.

Congratulations to the Democrats. They now have the power they so badly desired for the past 12 years. I guess no one will be crying foul from the democratic side about voter fraud and the such. Now the question is, will the Conservative 'Bluedog' Democrats that won the elections govern as conservatives democrats or will they run to the left along with Conyers and Dingle? I am dissapointed in the American electorate for being war weary. The Global War on Terror is a long battle and has only just begun. We need the spine to fight a generational fight, not a quick hit and get out battle. The Battle in Irag is right now the central front in this war, and the democrats ran and won elections on (I hope i'm wrong) a cut and run conclusion to this battle. We cannot leave Irag until the job is done. This means Iraqis can govern themselves and protect themselves from insurgent terrorists. If we leave early, we will tell the rest of the world not to trust us to finish any tough job. We will also invite the terrorist to come and kill us here instead of dieing on their turf. I am concerned with the Republican party. We seem to be running toward the middle. Conservatives don't win in the middle. Without a clear distiction between Republicans and Democrats we get lost in the shuffle. The wishy washy leadership of the last few years has come up short for many conservatives like myself.

There was never any doubt!!

Take a look at this article Democrats' Foreign Policy Pickle - WSJ.com to get a feeling of what the Democrats have in mind with a victory on Tuesday. Rep. Tom Lantos, a California Democrat who would chair the House International Relations Committee under a Democratic majority, said public opinion could force the president's hand. "If we take one or both houses, then the administration will have to take into account that the mainstream public view is that we are very off course in Iraq," he said. Mr. Lantos, for his part, said he would use his possible new perch to advocate policies that would be "dramatically more multilateral and dramatically more respectful of other countries' views." He envisions a series of hearings in the spring that call to Capitol Hill all former secretaries of state and national security advisers to weigh in on "the U.S. national security predicament." He also hopes to travel to North Korea, Iran and Syria. "I strongly believe in the need for dialogue with people that you strongly disagree with," he said, adding that the Democrats' first stop, postelection, should be the White House Just what the county needs, the European approach to foriegn relations. .

In this commentary William Shawcross: Deny Islamists reward in Iraq Opinion The Australian acknowledges the problems in Iraq and the hurdles that need to be overcome. What stuck me was his statement Al-Qa'ida and the Shi'ite terrorists hope to inflict defeat on Republicans in US elections in November that will weaken American commitment to the future of Iraq and thus strengthen Islamism throughout the world. As Salih said, for the West's sake as well as that of Iraq, we need to be "realistic, not defeatist". Unfortunately, the media still is trying to suppress the Republican base including Fox news with biased poll numbers and talk of 25 seats in the house. Americans need to understand it was a long haul to success in Iraq. Shawcross continues: Like everyone who loves Iraq, he is worried about it. But he is not panicked. He points out that it took the British army four years to get its tactics right in Malaya, then another seven years to defeat the insurgency there. Similarly, in Oman there was a learning curve in the 1970s. "The US Army and the marines have transformed themselves in the last two years," he says. "They set up their own counter-insurgency school and all officers down to platoon level pass through it. It is a far more effective force than it was in 2003." The Iraqi Army has improved as well. "In January 2005 there were only four battalions which were any good," Anderson says. "Now we can think in terms of several divisions that can be relied upon. Of course none of this will be submitted to the American public through the MSM.

An outsiders understanding of the exceptionalism of America

2006-10-27T02:10:00.000-06:00

Gerald Baker has an understanding of the America I know and love that most liberals in this country will never admit to. In his comentary Iraq is just a comma, not a death sentence - Comment - Times Online Baker wites: What will determine America’s ability to maintain its pre-eminence will be its flexibility and the willingness of its population to take on new burdens in the new warfare that confronts them. This is so true and the left in this country is constantly undermining our determination to win. Baker also writes: The real question about American power is whether the realities that underpin it are shifting. There, I’m afraid, the news for Americaphobes is grim. The US economy continues to grow at a pace that far outstrips its rivals in the industrialised world. Though China is growing at three times the pace of the US, America’s economy is so large — $12 trillion annually — that , even in the unlikely event that China will continue to grow at its current rate, it will take 30 to 40 years to catch up with America. Show me anywhere where this has been written by the MSM. You won't find it because it bolsters the fact that America is exceptional.

The Hill Blog

2006-10-19T01:35:00.000-06:00

I actually found the vaunted Democratic plan for Iraq onThe Hill Blog in a response to a Barbara Boxer Post. In the next twelve months, we need to make substantial progress in turning over responsibility for the security of Iraq to the government and people of Iraq. To date, we have failed in this effort and the Administration must change its policies in Iraq if we are going to stem the bloodshed. To start, we should make it clear to the forces fomenting civil war - primarily the Sunni militants - that they can either rein in their violent supporters or face the prospect of a conflict with the majority Shiite forces that they would likely lose. In order to emphasize our commitment to this plan, we should begin to withdraw U.S. forces from selected parts of Iraq and replace them with Iraqi forces. This approach was first proposed by Senator Carl Levin (D-MI), ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, earlier this year in a Senate amendment. If this strategy succeeds, we should systematically withdraw more US troops as Iraqi forces are prepared to defend their new government. If the strategy falters, we should attempt to negotiate a three-state federation of Shiites, Sunni and Kurdish states, facilitating a divided but stable Iraq, and enabling withdrawal of US troops. Comment by N.J. Dem. Rep. Rob Andrews — October 18, 2006 @ 5:09 pm Just a few questions for Rep. Andrews: Could you please define 'substantial progress' as it pertains to tuning over responsibility for the security of Iraq to the Iraqi forces. It seems to me that the current administration has as one of the pillars of Victory In Iraq.It also seems to me that we have turned over control in many provinceshttp://www.defence.gov.au/minister/NelsonMintpl.cfm?CurrentId=5805 already.

Another attempt to suppress the base

2006-10-18T16:47:00.000-06:00

Dick Morris in his infinite wisdom has the GOP dead and buried here There goes the GOP base � and probably both houses. He bases his conclusions on the Gallop polling produced Oct. 6-8. He concludes: Churchgoing whites are the core of the Republican base. The fact that they are now breaking even in the approaching midterm elections foretells total disaster for the GOP. For this group to leave is, quite literally, the political equivalent of the last dog dying! It is now likely that they will lose both houses of Congress. With this kind of defection, Republican Sens. Mike DeWine (Ohio), Conrad Burns (Mont.), Rick Santorum (Pa.), Jim Talent (Mo.) and Lincoln Chaffee (R.I.) seem likely to be gone. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist’s (R-Tenn.) seat seems likely to go to Rep. Harold Ford (D-Tenn.). And Sen. George Allen (R-Va.) may also be on his way out. In New Jersey, after trailing Tom Kean Jr. for most of September, Sen. Robert Menendez (D) seems to have moved out to a small lead that will probably grow Give me a break! The party is going to stay at home because Foley has a sick mind? The base will not vote because the Democrats have a better plan? I don't think so. I think the polls are wishful thinking and Morris would love to see the consevatives lose.

Just something to mull over...

2006-10-17T20:12:00.000-06:00

Please take the time to read this entire post in the Daily Kos: Welcome to the United States of White America, as these will be the excuses used to explain how the Republicans were able to hold on to both the House and Senate with slight margins. We stole the elections using shady strategies and techniques (which means the Democrats don't have a monopoly on election fraud anymore.) They have had 6 years since 2000, 4 years since 2002 and 2 years since 2004 and I don't think there have been any convictions for election fraud. If your going to make accusations, after six years I would have assumed you could prove them. NOT!!. If the liberal leaning voter were educated and concerned, they would be sure to have a 'picture ID' and proper registration for the election. These indiviuals would take the time during the day (Generally between 7am and 7pm, the 1st Tuesday in November) to exercise their constitutional right to participate. But many of them won't and many will try to cheat. That's why there are election laws on the books and why they should be enforced.

Same old Song and Dance

John P. Murtha (he served 37 years in the Marine Corps.) is at it again. with this piece Confessions of a 'Defeatocrat' - washingtonpost.com. I was hoping he was going to use his 37 years of experience and actually lay out a plan for winning the war in Iraq. Instead he just plays the same old tired record. He states, Our troops who are putting their lives on the line deserve a plan that matches our military prowess with diplomatic and political skill. They deserve a clear and achievable mission and they deserve to know precisely what it will take to accomplish it. They deserve answers, not spin. His plan, blame the bush administration. Typical!! You guys on the left want to controll congress and the senate?? Lay out a plan for all to see. Give us something to compare to the status quo. Until then, the country will not elect you to any positions of power.

2006-08-20T08:54:00.000-06:00

The media better run with this while they can. Hard to predict 6th Circuit's NSA ruling This ruling is going to be a slam dunk. As has been posted here earlier, this type of intelligence gattering is permitted by the presidents inherrent rights as commander and cheif during a time of war as granted by the 2nd ammendment of the U.S. Constitution. They can cry 1st and 4th ammendments all they want, and even throw in the FISA court, but this is all settled law. This is just another reason not to allow the Democrats to take over either the house or the senate: They will get us KILLED.

This article Israeli Commando Dies in Lebanon Raid embodies all that is wrong with the ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israel, and the U.S. by association, blew an opportunity to crush Hezbollah and push back the real enemy in the war on terror, which is Iran. Israel's' inept execution of the war has only emboldened Iran and Hezbollah. By agreeing to a cease fire the Israelis have basically give the terrorist an opportunity to re-arm and reload. If anybody believes a UN "peace keeping" force is going to keep Hezbollah from weapons, they are crazy. Israel must rethink its tactics when this war inevitably breaks out again. Hezbollah must be destroyed completely and Iran must be stopped with our help. The U.S. cannot allow the Iranians to possess nuclear weapons. Neither can the Israelis

But there is no bias in news reporting.

As you read this piece about the resignation of the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey, 7Online.com: New York City and Tri-State News from WABC-TV please note how not once was her party affiliation ever mentioned. This leads me to believe she is a democrat. If she were a republican I am sure the Headline would have read "Republican AG Resigns in Disgrace!!!!!!!!!" As a side note, how does a woman with "Farber has gotten 12 speeding tickets, four bench warrants issued for her arrest and three license suspensions" become the AG of any state.

I will state now that the Republicans will hold both the house and the Senate in November. Daily Kos: State of the Nation Democrats have now been split into the power hungry looney left (with the money) and the serious Left (using the term loosly). This is where the battle of 2006 will be fought by democrats, while the country fights on in the world wide war on Islamic Lunatics. Thinking Americans know that putting Democrats back into power will only get us killed. It cannot happen at this dangerous time. It will not happen in 2006.

Congrats to Lamont. Norwich Bulletin - www.norwichbulletin.com - Norwich, Conn.:This guy is sharp as a tack. He actually said "'Tonight we voted for a big change,' he said. 'It's time to fix Congress.'" I beleive he is running for the senate. As I posted earlier, Lieberman will run as an independent and probalby win, or split the ticket and let the republican gain the seat. Congrats to the Looney Left, you guys are genius.

WHAt does this really mean to Democrats?

2006-08-08T21:04:00.000-06:00

For arguments sake, lets just say that these numbers hold up UPDATE 5-Sen. Lieberman trails in tight battle��Reuters.com and Lamont beats Lieberman by a 52 to 48 margin. The left-wing will be screaming a giant victory over the evil Bush supporter and a great referendum over the illegal Bush war in Iraq. But in reality it means absolutly nothing. Numbers this close mean that Lieberman will win re-election as an independent in November because the Man is a good democrat and Lamont has nothing to offer accept looney left retoric, which hasn't won an election since before 2000. You would think the left would learn after 2002 and 2004 that Viet Nam will not win elections in post 9/11 America.

2006-08-05T18:45:00.000-06:00

This is not a working solution. Full text of UNSC draft resolution on Mideast cease-fire Jerusalem Post Why would Israel agree to pull out of Lebanon before Hezbollah is defeated. The UN is a Joke/. I can only hope that the US knows this is an unacceptable agreement and is only covering their ass in front of the rest of the world. The only route to long lasting and sustainable peace is with a complete victory over Hezbollah. Let Hezbollah raise the White Flag and run back to Syria with their tails between their legs and then the UN peacekeeping forces can occupy southern Lebanon. Until then may the Israelis continue to kill as many terrorist pigs as humanly possible. Its good for the US and its good for the rest of the world.

Can the Country be Dumb enough to Vote Democratic for Armageddon

2006-08-05T09:40:00.000-06:00

I am confident that the November elections will keep both the house and the senate in the hands of the Republicans. But just in case I am wrong, read this little ditty Vote Democratic for Armageddon and give it some thought. Any thinking man of reason knows that Iran is the problem and must be dealt with either now or in the future. My belief is that now is better than latter. If these lunatics ever get their hands on nuclear weapons there will be hell to pay.

RealClearPolitics - Articles - Saving the American Dream

I must be stupid. I read the American Dream Initative at RealClearPolitics - Articles - Saving the American Dream from democrats Clinton, Carper and Vilsak and don't quite get it. A $3000 per year tax credit to go to college is the panacea for all of our problems. If I read correctly, its not even a new credit but a consolidation of existing tax credits. Or maybe its the performance based block grants that will save the country by enableing the states to make public education more affordable, which will somehow increase graduation rates. What a bunch of hooey. Why don't they propose vouchers for all americans, allowing them to opt out of the crappy public school system that can't, or won't, educate children in the first place. Maybe then graduation from a four year college will be more obtainable for most americans.

Is "Arab Democracy" Worth All This Chaos? Answer is Yes.

2006-07-17T20:18:00.000-06:00

In this article Is "Arab Democracy" Worth All This Chaos? - Washington forgot an important component�stability. By Shmuel Rosner# Mr. Rosner asks the following questions: "So, a dilemma is emerging: Is Arab democracy so important that maintaining it is worth paying the price of chaos and instability? And is there a way to establish an Arab democracy that's stable from the outset?" I have an answer. We need to rid both Lebanon and Syria of both Hezbollah and Hamas influence. We must then get rid of the mother of all terrorist influences that destabilize any Arab democracy and that is IRAN. We cannot wait for Iran to procure nuclear weapons and then spread them to their surrogates. The time is upon us to take the lead, with the help of Israel, and unleash hell upon the Mullahs of Iran.

How long can we wait?

2006-07-15T12:26:00.000-06:00

I believe that now is the opportunity to deal with the 2nd arm of the 'axis of evil' (IRAN). The Iranian involvement in the Hezbollah / Israel engagement has opened the door to the U.S. to finish the job. We cannot wait for the crazies in Iran to get nuclear weapons. This would be unacceptable to the entire world. The Iranians may be much closer to acquiring weapons grade uranium as is indicated in this Middle East Newsline - article. The Hezbollah incident may well be orchestrated by the Iranians to deflect the probing of International interests in its nuclear programs. My hope is that Israel goes into Syria to clean out terrorist interest there and that the Iranians take offense and joins the fray. This will force Israel to go after the Iranian nuclear program and likely bring the U.S. into the conflict. From there it will be up the the people of Iran to either throw out the Mulaocracy or join in an all out war with the U.S. and whatever allies we can muster.

Who are your Friends?

2006-07-15T11:43:00.000-06:00

Now that the world is gearing up for possible all out war, its nice to know who your friends are and who the enemy is. I think we can all agree that Iran is problem #1 for freedom loving peoples of the world. So if we have to go after the real threat, who will come to their aid. My guess is China is going to have a decision to make. China has great economic intersts in Iran View. What will they do? Can they afford to anger the U.S.. Can China survive without the golden goose that is the U.S. Consumer. I don't think so.

In his article Goldman Sachs CEO Henry Paulson Is Just the Treasury Secretary We Need -- New York Magazine Jim Cramer states what has been obvious to many "The disconnect between the reality of strong growth and wealth creation and the domestic perception of our economy is staggering. Most Americans probably think we are teetering on recession, not putting up the best numbers we’ve had in years." Why, because the MSM wants the american public to be misled.

This is how the left sees

2005-12-31T07:57:00.000-07:00

As I have previously posted, there are many in this country (much brighter and more knowledgeable than myself) who believe that the president has the authority through article II of the constitution to protect the country from foreigners. Included in this authorization would be the use of wiretaps on American communication with known terrorist outside the country. In his article The Hidden State Steps Forward Jonathan Schell uses the word "undisutably" to start his proposition that the Bush administration broke the law. Indisuptable only if you are a whacked out leftie. He also claims the "Commander in Chief possesses "inherent" authority to suspend laws in wartime". The president did not suspend any law and I believe Mr. Schell is either ignorant or just a plain partisan hack to make this statement. I would refer Mr. Schell to this thoughful and lengthy explanation of the presidents authority and legality http://powerlineblog.com/archives/012631.php in this matter. It will either enlighten or infuriate Mr. Schell and his ilk. The rest of the article is full of lies and misrepresentations. The same old drum beat of Bush lies and breaks the law. The same stollen election and government to benefit the rich. This is how the left sees. As long as they persist in ignoring the truth, the lefties of his ilk will be left out of power. If for some reason, the people who believe the way Mr. Schell does ever do get back into power, the country will be in big trouble. Then people really will get killed, by true enemies who will be allowed to hide behind civil liberties and freedom. Instead of fighting a war on terrorism, we will take them to court prosecute the full extent of the law.

What privacy can you really expect in the Wi-Fi world.

2005-12-25T09:49:00.000-07:00

Call me small minded. Call me a simpleton. I don't believe that in the age of Wireless information transfer any of us should expect any semblance of privacy. Any time you use a cell phone, the internet, the credit card, the bathroom, data is created and stored somewhere. This data is available whether you like it or not. If somebody wants to access this data, they can and will, legally or illegally. Its a fact of life, so deal with it. If you want privacy, move to rural Montana and read only the newspaper and communicate only through VOIP (for now). Get a job that pays cash under the table and only pay cash for all your purchases. In the 21st century, anyone can know what you are doing if they want, including your government. Access to the data you produce daily is not that hard no matter how much you wish it were. So what is it with the Main Stream Media and the Main Stream Loony Liberal Democrats in this county? Why are civil liberties more important than civil protection? What makes the left think, in the name of civil liberty, it is proper and right to disclose secret programs used to keep the county out of harms way. In previous times, these leakers would be investigated, tried, convicted and then shot as traitors. Today, they are held up as some kind of hero http://www.kantor.com/blog/2005/12/when_the_right_wing_gets_out_of_touch.html. Look people, we are at war with forces that want to kill us. My children would like an opportunity to have children. We need to protect ourselves from the blood thirsty zealots who would just as easily kill a 1,000,000 American men, women, and children, as smoke out an ant hill. With a free and open society, these people can infiltrate our borders as easily as a mouse can crawl into your garage and take nest. As sure as the sun will set in the evening, these people are already here, just waiting for the opportunity to kill all of us. I don't believe terrorist should have the Civil Liberty to KILL all of us. Our Federal government is first and foremost charged with the task of protecting us from foreign enemies. In today's world that includes tracking down enemy cells already in place within our borders. The enemy now hides behind a wall built of liberties and enforced by the ACLU. Whatever tools our federal government have at their disposal should be used to find and thwart our enemies. If these tools impede upon our perceived civil liberties, so be it. In a time of war, I freely and willingly sacrifice some of my perceived privacy rights in order that we may track down and destroy the enemy that resides within our borders, be they citizens or not. All the civil liberties known to man will do me no good if my city is destroyed and I am dead. If and when the enemy is dead or defeated, the ACLU can worry about perceived civil liberty.

Prices transform oil into a weapon - Editorials & Commentary - International Herald Tribune

2005-08-28T09:09:00.000-06:00

Oil is now a problem. The american ecomomy and even the world economy is in danger. Since the liberals of this country deem it necessary to falsely save the the environment over the production of the resources we so deparately need we are soon going to be in a grip of trouble. For 30 years we have stood around and let the rest of the world controll our destiny by not building refineries, nuclear facilities or new drilling sites. Now our only alternative is to conserve untill we catch up by building and drilling. Wake up people. We can no longer hide our heads in the sand and hope. The economy is in danger of imploding. The rest of the world, expecially China have pushed demand for oil higher. Increase demand without increased supply means increased prices. $60+ per bll of oil for a sustained period of time will inevitably lead to a recession in this country. The problems we face now are the result of 30+ years of stupid energy policy. We sit on large reserves of oil and gas but refuse to develop these reserves under the guise of protecting the environment. This is no longer an option. If these policies are not reversed, we will be facing long term economic troubles. Your jobs will be in danger. Your lifestyle will be in danger. Your children and their children will have little chance of living a better life than you have.

It seems the congress is asking the president to block any purchase of Chevron Oil Co by the Chinese. I hope it doesn't come to that, but if necessary the president should absolutely block this purchase. I say CNOOC can bid for Chevron when the Chinese government sells its controlling shares in CNOOC. This discussion leads to the even broader question of the National debt and the National deficit. Does the deficit matter? Read here for an opinion that I don't necessarily agree with. It is a good start for the future research to follow.

The even more important question, do the slippery seven join the party they came with or do they become traitorous. The fight we should have had 2 months ago is about to begin.

Watching our government at work. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

2005-06-10T21:30:00.000-06:00

So I'll let you in on a little secret. I love talk radio. You could say I have unconsciously evolved my life so I can listen to talk radio. I listen to lots of talk radio. Mostly right leaning talk shows. Notice the link to Hugh Hewitt to the right. His show is tied for the best radio show on the air. I'll let you guess who he's tied with. I have learned to tolerate lefty radio a bit. The best show on the left side of the dial is the Ed Schultz show,http://www.wegoted.com. It still sucks but it is the best of the bunch. Anyhow, I was listening today when Ed had an interview with Rep. Wasserman-Schultz (d) from Florida. On this show she stated how Chairman Sensenbrennar shut down the hearings illegally and without precedence. Being a slow Friday evening, I turned on to watch these hearing for myself. Where do I start with a commentary?? I'll start with this. Rep S. Jackson-Lee is not very bright. She spent the fist 2/3 of her 5 minutes rambling about the "darkest times in America" in a barely coherent fashion. Something about tyranny of the majority. Then she spent the other 1/3 of her time asking irrelevant questions fashioned towards the 'hate America first crowd' of which the four witnesses were perfect examples of. This left exactly 19 seconds for the four witnesses to respond. Since Ms. Jackson-Lee was the last representative to question the witnesses, the show was over. Now I don't want to give the impression that she was the only person to do this. These hearings, or at least this one in particular, are nothing more than PR opportunities for the those involved. It is my understanding that today's hearings were in response to a letter written by the democratic members of the committee requesting the hearing on the Patriot Act. During the hour of hearings that I watched, maybe 10% had anything to do with the Patriot Act or the 16 sections of the Patriot Act that are set to expire soon. Mostly this hearing was lefties blaming America for all the problems in the world. Amnesty International President Mr. Something or another restated his organizations belief that Abu Graib and Guantanamo Bay constitute this eras Gulags. Mr James Zogby, president of the American Arab Institute, basically stated that because of Americas racial profiling in rounding up and questioning Arab and Muslim people after the 9/11 attacks, we have incited hate throughout the world. He also stated that this increased hatred has caused increased disobedience by citizens of other countries (countries who have been supportive of the USA in our war on terrorism) which in turn causes these countries to be more repressive to their own citizens, following the lead of the United States. There was also some other woman from some Human Rights First organization making accusations of 100's murdered and 1000's tortured in American Prisons across the planet. I would love to know where these people get their information. Now I thought the representatives from the right side of the isle were for the most part more intelligent, more focused, and more forthright in their questions of the witnesses. But what do I know? I am only a partisan conservative who follows in lockstep with the Bush administration. The end of the meeting was very enlightening. It shows how the Democrats can not stand the fact that they have lost all of their power. After Jackson-Lee wasted her 5 minutes, Sensenbrennar spoke to the folly of the days hearings. He basically stated the obvious, the the hearings were conducted to placate the desperate lefties, and that the hearings shed very little light on the Patriot Act. The hearings did however shed light on the way the left is conducting its battle against the Bush administration as well as the war on terror. When the chairman was finished speaking a democrat asked if Jackson-Lee would be granted some extra time so her questions could be answered by the witnesses. The chairman asked how much time would be needed. The response was 4 minutes. The chairman asked if there was any objection to the additional time and some one objected. At this point the chairman closed the meeting. This is when the hearing got good. The Democrats sat stunned that the procedural rules had been applied. They started complaining about this, that and the other. Then Rep. Nadler (d) started pontificating and complaining, and moaning and groaning. His mike was promptly turned off. He even acknowledged that his speech was not going to be on the record, but continued anyway. When he was finished, those remaining in the room applauded. Applause at a congressional hearing? What a waste of valuable time and effort of the US government. The following is from Ms Wasserman-Schultz congressional website. I did not viewed this clip before making this post, so if there is any slant in her portrayal of the events, I have no prior knowledge. Press Release - United States Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz - Democracy thwarted at Judiciary Committee Hearing on the Patriot Act: Chairman silences Democrats at a hearing on the Patriot Act by cutting the microphones WATCH THE VIDEO HERE here My final comment on these hearings are they are not good for the country. We are at war. I know many in this nation are not aware of, or choose to ignore the facts, but there are many poeple and countries out there that want to destroy the United States of America. Video clips from these hearings will be distributed throughout the world. It is my opinion that much of what was said during these hearings lends aid and comfort to our enemies. The only hope our enemies have of winning is to have our country divided by politics. The world learned through the example of Viet Nam that the best way to beat America is to have it beat itself.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day. Most of us will be celebrating a day off from work. I too will be taking a break from the normal work week. I will celebrate with my family and spend a moment to thank and honor all of those who have served and died. These are the ones who have made it possible for you and I to enjoy the fruits of the American dream. Without their unselfish sacrifices we as a nation could not and would not exist.Mudville Gazette Please spend a moment to remember these great heros. I know I will.

I found my blog on google on page 2!

This one is for me. Listening to OPM, Menace to Sobriety! One of the best records (hope I'm not dating myself) of all times. At least in the top 5 I'm toasted and loose. I'm having a good day with my oldest graduating from high-school this week. I searched Google to see where my pueney (sic) litle blog would show up on the list. I showed up on page two. Man I'm making progress in the world. the13thfloor I actually feel like I might start publicizing my little spot on the internet. I am just gong to ramble on for a while if you don.t mind. I know you don't mind because nobody is out there. I know this to be true. But I really don't care. It's alright. These words will always be there for me and mine. That is the beauty of the blogosphere. You are allowed to speak even if no one is listening. Kind of like the United States...You have a right to speak, not a right to be heard. Anyhow, 18 years have passed and my wife and I have raised our first child. It is incredible how quickly the time really does pass. Pictures in my head of him sleeping on my chest as an infant. The early trips to the the Bronco games. The karate tournaments, the football games. The trips across town for school, ortho appointments, bithday parties. I just slips by. By law he is now responsible for himself. I ask myself, have we given him an oportunity to gain the knowledge and wisdom necessary for success in the life he has ahead? Have we given him an opportunity to learn to be a good person? Has he learned the discipline and drive necessary to succeed in his endeavors? Does he have the social skills necessary to coexist with others? Does the know the difference between right and wrong? We he be fruitful and multiply? Only time will truely tell, but I am confident, that my son will make his mother and me look very good and parents.

No matter how you spin it, this is a bad deal for Conservatives

Even 12 hours later I am still screaming mad. This is a bad deal for all of us.7 Republicans abandon GOP on filibuster - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics - May 24, 2005 All I can say is these people need to go. You can find the good things in this agreement but I believe we blew a giant oportunity to crush the left. I want the weak senators to lose thier jobs in the upcoming elections, and I will do whatever I can to support their opponents. John McCain, you might as well put a (d) next to your name. You are the leader of this rebellion and we the base will never forget. If you run for president, you will run as a democrat.

The weak kneed repulican centrists strike again

This is an unbelievably bad deal for the republican base. Totally unnecessary. We had the democrats backed into the corner with no where to go. These centrist republicans (Republicans signing the agreement were Sens. Mike DeWine (Ohio), Susan Collins (Maine), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Lincoln Chafee (R.I.), McCain, John Warner (Va.), and Olympia Snowe (Maine)) let them off the hook. What do we gain? Nothing! We actually lose two highly qualified judicial candidates.Centrists compromise, averting filibuster faceoff - Politics - MSNBC.com As of right now, no more money for the RSC or any republican organization until I see the fall out. This deal sucks! When will we learn to weild the power that the electorate has given us.
