When idiots attack - the latest from Peta
OK. I really try not to use words like "idiot", but in the case of Peta, I just can't help myself. They really do bring it upon themselves. Do they even realize how crazy they look?
Peta, as an "animal right advocate group" (and I'm being kind here) has lifted the role of animals to that of an even higher status than humans. However, their tactics leave very much to be desired.
They have no qualms about lying, being outright hypocrites, using terroristic propaganda, trying to create alcoholics, and making up outlandish stories to get their point across. And their leader, Ingrid Newkirk, is the most outlandish of all.
The sad thing is, many people (including Hollyweird celebs) are behind them, bringing along with them their bottomless pockets.
Case in point, this newest campaign by Peta against Ben & Jerry's ice cream. This campaign of theirs mixes both the gross with the crazy into their own special Peta "flavor."
Ben & Jerry are die-hard liberals, but even they think the idea is udderly ridiculous! :)

Bono's ONE campaign
As I am a rather RABID U2 fan, I thought I would add this article on Bono, who has truly become one of the most well spoken "lobbyists" on global poverty and development.
To some, he may be "just a singer" but his following (and that of U2) is legion. He's very intelligent, and doesn't play favorites. He's met with both Bush and Clinton, as well as other people on opposite sides of the fence, in order to get funding for Africa.
Besides that, Bono is one of the greatest lyricists of our time. His Irish upbringing, his strong faith, and "gift of gab" have helped him write some of the deepest most meaningful lyrics penned in music, and as such, has led U2 to the top of the music charts over and over.
EDIT: argh, looks like 'twas not to be. :( Could have been one of my fave photos ever!

Media Mum on Barney Frank's Fannie Mae Connection
You probably won't be hearing about Barney Frank's role in the big financial bail out, and this as well. Since Barney Frank is gay, Fannie Mae could be the closest he may get to anything remotely "female." :-\
So who is Barney Frank? Here are a couple articles on him.

UNCALLED FOR LIBERAL "PROTEST"
This is not surprising, but it is VERY disheartening, wrong, and a really STUPID way to try and make a point. Plus it just makes the perpetrator look like an idiot when he is finally caught. DON'T BLAME THE SOLDIERS.

US Abortion rate at 30 Year Low!
It usually takes an entire generation before we really see the effects of something like Roe vs. Wade. Inasmuch as the generation growing up after the 1973 ruling now sees having an abortion as a "right", many of this younger generation are seeing abortion for what it truly is, and as such, are having fewer of them. Which is a very good thing.
It doesn't stop abortion altogether, but when the issue is something as heinous as killing unborn babies, any stats in the favor of pro-life are welcome!
40,000,000 babies aborted. FORTY MILLION. I can't even wrap my mind around that.

AFTAH Confronts SF Mayor Newsom for Folsom Fair
The Folsom Street Fair is one of the most disgusting, despicable, depraved, and sadistic homosexual "festivals" ever to hit the planet. They are SO VERY PROUD of this fact, and the mayor (gay himself) welcomes this festival with open arms.
Worst of all, people actually bring their children to this festival! This festival makes Sodom and Gomorrah look like a church picnic. This is where a nice big bolt of lighting could come in very handy!
I know San Francisco is a lovely city, and has so many wonderful things going for it, but it has become one of the biggest cesspools of depravity in our nation.
Ugh. Just reading about it and blogging about it makes me want to go take a shower.

The Wish Wand
I had a little wish wand and waved it to and fro
Whenever thoughts turned heavenward
or the other place you go.
I thought it safe to trust it with my whole eternal soul
so I wished the life I’d lived on earth
would get me to my goal.
I wished that all would get to heaven
whatever they believed
that Buddha sat at God’s right hand
that New Age be received.
I wished that Paul would change his mind
that Jesus wasn’t right
because He spoke of lostness and a
dark eternal night;
about the way to heaven
one truth, one narrow gate, and
I was so broadminded that I wished away my fate!
So I waved my little wish wand
in the radiant face of Him
who met me at the gate of heaven and wouldn’t let me in.
I wrote to heaven’s congressman,
but he courteously replied that I should have
left my wish wand at the feet of Him who died!
For wishes could not wish away a lifetime of rejection,
and wishes could not dress my soul
in heaven’s own perfection.
And wishes could not save me now
for hell was so obscene,
that wishes there die ghastly deaths,
strangled with a scream.
So I took my little wish wand
into hell the day I died,
and I waved it at the serpent as he
slithered to my side.
It was dark but I could see him
and all I knew was fear,
and no matter how I waved my wand
he wouldn’t disappear!
Oh I wish that I had wished aright
I wished I lived again
I wished I had a body that
was whole, not racked with pain.
I wished I could remember
something other than the dirt.
I wished I could forget my sin.
So every memory hurt.
Oh, I wished and wished and wished
that I could have another chance
to cast upon the Crucified
a trusting, saving glance.
But the devil took my wish wand
and he laughed right in my face
and I went to live eternally in
darkness and disgrace,
I never wished a wish again
I had no heart to try
for hell is where hope ended, and where all my wishes died!

Obama is not who he says he is
Now, being a Christian is NOT necessary when one is running for president. It would be nice of course, from a values and morals perspective, but it is not necessary. Barack Obama seems to have difficulty deciding whether he is Christian or Muslim. This may help determine the answer.
And the fact that Obama is mixed up with Oprah is bad enough, but now it seems they're both linked to that freakazoid new age-ist, Eckhart Tolle. Yikes.
From Wikipedia:
Tolle believes that the New Testament contains deep spiritual truth, as well as distortions, which are due to a misunderstanding of Jesus’ teaching. He teaches that when you are present, you access your inner knowing and you will sense what is true and what was added on or distorted.
And HE knows best how to interpret Jesus' teachings correctly? That is the sign of a cult leader - he and only he - knows best, not you.
And since we're on the topic of Oprah as global guru to the Obamas, here is another post about the differences between what Oprah believes and what Sarah Palin believes.

Palin uninvited from anti-Iran rally
Talk about spoiled brats! The dems are sure good at throwing hissy fits. Sarah Palin was INVITED to speak at this rally, then Hillary, who had also accepted earlier, cancelled because Palin was going to be there...so the dems complained and whined until Palin herself was UNinvited to this rally. Nice.

Palin uninvited from rally
Posted: 06:54 PM ET
(CNN) — Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has been uninvited from a rally against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad next week in New York, one day after Hillary Clinton declined her invitation because the Alaska governor was slated to be there.
“In order to keep the focus on Iranian threats and to ensure that this critical message not be obscured, the organizers of the rally have decided not to have any American political personalities appear,” the organizers, which include several Jewish groups, said in a written statement.
John McCain issued a statement expressing disappointment over the decision.
“Governor Palin was pleased to accept an invitation to address this rally and show her resolve on this grave national security issue, regrettably that invitation has since been withdrawn under pressure from Democratic partisans,” he said.
Naturally CNN's coverage of this story pales in comparison to most, so here is a more fleshed out version.

This site contends that the whole thing is merely a spoof (which I hope it is), and the ever popular (but increasingly left-leaning) Snopes.com calls it "undetermined." HOWEVER, as things tend to go on the "interwebs," this is a re-run of a very similar type of email that went out in 2000 when Bush picked Cheney as his VP:
I just heard a rumor from a good source. The Republican party is feeling that Cheney is a liability on the ticket. There's a rumor that a few weeks prior to the election in a desperate attempt to win, Cheney will resign because of a trumped up heart problem or potential "threat to his health." Then either John McCain or Colin Powell will be asked to come on the ticket and save the party.

VERY IMPORTANT - LEFT USING BIG PR FIRM
This is a very important article thoroughly researched and written by the folks at mypetjawa.mu.nu.
Not only does the left have the Hollyweird set in their pocket, but apparently some big PR firms as well, and they are using some very underhanded and surreptitious ways of trying to get their point across.
Unfortunately for them, nothing on the web is ever really "gone" even when you try to erase your steps (a word of warning to us all).
If Fox News doesn't happen to run with this one, it's highly doubtful that any other news outlet will touch this with a 10 foot pole.

I'm shocked as well. This sounds like it might be a good thing in theory, but these groups are pacifists and anti-Israel, and believe that a good dialogue will solve all of the world's disagreements. It's the Neville Chamberlain thought process.
Unfortunately, this does not work with someone of Imademonjob's ilk. This "talk" will get them nowhere except for to add more fuel to the fire of "those stupid Americans need to be wiped off the planet."
Just having this guy on American soil is a very bad idea as well.

NEW ACRONYM FOR LIBERALS
IMBECILE = Incogitant* Marxist whose Beliefs Embrace Communistic Ideology and Liberal Elitism
Although this might seem harsh by some people's standards (and some might say, "it's so un-Christian!"), I don't mean this in a cruel or disparaging way, but I chose the word "imbecile" because the letters making up the word correlate so well to the various aspects of the whole Socialist-Liberal-Communist spectrum. But just for grins, let's break it down even further, shall we?
Main Entry: IMBECILE
Function: noun
Date: 1802
Etymology: French imbécile, noun, from adjective, weak, weak-minded, from Latin imbecillus, Fool; idiot.
Now let's see what "fool" means:
Main Entry: FOOL
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French fol, from late Latin follis, from Latin, bellows, bag
Date: 13th century
*Incogitant means "thoughtless" or "inconsiderate."

Where does she get off thinking she can be vice president of the United States? Up against the one million years in the Senate her opponent, Joe Biden, has logged in between expensive rides at taxpayer expense on the Acela, what can she offer? Mayor of a town of six people and ten caribou [sneer]? Miss Congeniality [sneer, sneer]? Bastard-baby-grandma [sneer, sneer, sneer]? Poster chick for "family values" [sneer, sneer, sneer, sneer]?
Sorry, I'm running out of sneers.
But, seriously, just look at the negatives: she's a popular first-term governor, she's a woman, she's happily married, she has five kids, one of them with Down's syndrome, she's a maverick, she's from way beyond the Beltway, she's taken on both the Republican Party and Big Oil, she shoots automatic weapons, she can kill a moose with a butter knife and fillet a sea lion with a smile, her husband's a roustabout Eskimo snowmobile champ, she's a hockey mom, she was Miss Wasilla, she looks like she should be playing Cecily, the saucy librarian, in Tom Stoppard's Travesties, and she doesn't wear pantsuits. Heck, she hasn't even appeared yet on Meet the Press! I mean, who in his right mind would vote for her?
Sure, if she were one of ours, not only would we have nominated her by acclamation, since she fulfills every trope of feminism except for her unfortunate and inexplicable opposition to murdering unborn children, we would also have made at least two TV movies about her life, celebrating her choice to have her fifth child and the announcement yesterday that her 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, is pregnant and is going to marry the teenage father of her child. That's the kind of heartwarming, inclusive, empowering story we love -- she's like Juno come to life as Juneau, set in Mystery, Alaska.
But she's not a Democrat, which despite her va-va-va-voom appearance, means she's not really a woman, which is one of the reasons we've spent the past four days since McCain unveiled her trying to tear her limb from limb. Just because she's the governor of a state sandwiched between two obscure and unimportant countries, Canada and Russia, and spent more time in her first five minutes visiting American troops in Iraq than Evita Barry did during his entire Rainbow Tour, what could she possibly know about foreign policy? It's not like she's John Edwards or something.
So that's why we're having our Wellstone Funeral Moment at the moment. We mean well; we promised ourselves we wouldn't go over the top with our outright loathing of the Neanderthals who preach "Christian" values while practicing Wiccanism and child sacrifice and who hate black people and gay people and want to destroy the environment just because they can, and want to amass more money than even John Kerry or Jon Corzine or Herb Kohl or Jay Rockefeller or Dianne Feinstein -- the five richest senators -- or Ted Kennedy or John Edwards or Nancy Pelosi have. That, usually, is the Kos Kidz's job. Along with speculating exactly how Bush got from My Pet Goat to planting the depth charges that blew up the levees in New Orleans.
But sometimes the mask slips and you can see -- whoops! -- how much we hate you. Normally we're against hate in all its forms, and embrace tolerance as one of our defining moral attributes. But when it comes to you conservatives, well, with the best will in the world, we just can't tolerate you. You're elitist, you're judgmental, you're hypocritical, and we know that deep down you hate us even more than we hate you. Therefore, by any means necessary, we will defeat you this fall. Voter fraud, "walking around" money, legions of lawyers, as many recounts as it takes -- bring it on!
Because we need to take back our country. We need to take it back from fascists like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, and give it back to its rightful proprietors, patriots like Henry Wallace, Sidney Hillman, Norman Thomas, Gus Hall, Karl Marx, Leon Trotsky, Joseph Stalin, Saul Alinsky, William Kunstler, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Bobby Seale, and, yes, my guy, the Talking Parrot, you know who.
And Sarah Marshall (? Heath?) Palin stands in the way of all that. After we sent Bill n' Hill packing with their twin gold watches in Denver, we thought we had a clear playing field. The sunshine of the uplands was ours. Mother Gaia had opened wide her arms to embrace us, shunning the Orcs and the Uruk-hai of the Anti-Slavery, Anti-Segregation, Anti-Secularism, Anti-Sedition and Anti-Surrender Party. We were going up against Bob Dole and Jack Kemp, Herbert Hoover and Whoever, Daddy Bush and Dan Quayle, Gerald R. Ford and, well, Bob Dole.
Piece of cake, walk on the beach, a Renaissance Weekend in a non-denominational heaven for atheists. Until Sarah Marshall Palin showed up, bringing with her 10 million bucks for the bad guys in three days, a level of enthusiasm not seen since Ronnie was a pup, and a clear shot to Republican dominance with her and Bobby Jindal and whatever seduced and corrupted minority group is coming next for eons to come.
So that's why we hate you, Sarah Marshall Palin. We hate you because you remind the other side of their wives, their girlfriends, their daughters, and make them want to fight for you against our sneers and our smears. We hate you because you're smart and accomplished and didn't make your bones on the back of Monica Lewinsky. We hate you because you've made us forget that our last two candidates for vice president were Joe Lieberman and John Edwards, whoever they were.
We hate you because you're smart and beautiful and we wish we had women like you on our side.
We hate you.

AP: Palin brought this upon herself
You've GOT TO BE KIDDING.
The AP are using the excuse that they use in rape cases: "it's the woman's fault" that Sarah Palin got her email hacked.
This is getting dirtier and dirtier. Yeah, sure, it's all Sarah Palin's fault for using Yahoo in the first place. GIVE ME A BREAK.
Wonder what this guy would say if HIS OWN email account were hacked???

Son of Democratic Rep is alleged Palin hacker
BIG SURPRISE HERE: the Palin hacker is the son of a demosocialiberal.
The son of a democratic state representative from Tennessee is at the center of an online investigation into who broke in to the email account of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and shared some of its contents with the world.
HERE'S WHAT WILL HAPPEN:
I realize that last one is VERY HARSH, but we always hear stories where the antagonist does this very thing to "escape" the law. I just hope and pray it does not come to that. But this kid is messed up and needs to have consequences of some kind.

HERE'S WHAT WILL HAPPEN:
- Mr. Democratic Representative and his liberal buddies will find a way to find as many loopholes and red tape as possible to get this dismissed or brushed under the rug.
- The kid and his lawyers will decry that he's "unfit" for trial or jail because of his "lifelong depression" and his being committed twice.
- The kid will become even more depressed and distressed, and commit suicide, in order (he thinks) to get out of the whole mess HE CREATED.

The 'Savage' Nation - Michael Savage interview
While I don't always agree with Michael Savage ("The Savage Nation" radio show, and "savage" it is, at times), I know he's no dummy. He's multi-degree'd, has a very long and robust history, and most interestingly, was once a Democrat...until he saw the light. :) He touts himself as an independent, but I think he's independent with a right-leaning bent.
Here is an interview with Newsmax. Toward the bottom of the interview Savage has a couple of very observant things to say about Obama:
Newsmax: Do you think she’s (Sarah Palin) affected Barack Obama’s psyche?
Savage: Yes, absolutely, in one major way. He was the center of attention; he’s a narcissist and he’s used to being adored. The minute she came along and she became the center of attention, the narcissist in him started to flail out and make mistakes, such as the pig and the lipstick comment, which I spent the whole show on, analyzing him, claiming he has an Oedipal complex and he has a woman problem. But that’s a little off topic here. Absolutely, she is upsetting him because she is now the center of attention, not him. And like a petulant adolescent, he’s starting to look very, very, very boyish and he’s also starting to say things that are not very presidential.
Newsmax: You’re giving him a little psychoanalysis.
Savage: Oh yeah, I spent all day on this yesterday, on the Oedipal complex, and what it means from a Freudian perspective, and why he has a woman problem. It’s a fact that his mother was flighty and often abandoned him to pursue other men, to pursue men and her studies, and left him with the grandparents. He’s always been sort of like an abandoned boy.

OF COURSE this is the reason!
We all know this has been thought by the Left, but never really voiced, until now.
This type of reasoning pretty much sums things up.
Yeah...we're ALL racists...that's the ticket.

No Smoking Hot Spot!
David Evans | July 18, 2008
I DEVOTED six years to carbon accounting, building models for the Australian Greenhouse Office. I am the rocket scientist who wrote the carbon accounting model (FullCAM) that measures Australia's compliance with the Kyoto Protocol, in the land use change and forestry sector. FullCAM models carbon flows in plants, mulch, debris, soils and agricultural products, using inputs such as climate data, plant physiology and satellite data. I've been following the global warming debate closely for years.
When I started that job in 1999 the evidence that carbon emissions caused global warming seemed pretty good: CO2 is a greenhouse gas, the old ice core data, no other suspects. The evidence was not conclusive, but why wait until we were certain when it appeared we needed to act quickly? Soon government and the scientific community were working together and lots of science research jobs were created. We scientists had political support, the ear of government, big budgets, and we felt fairly important and useful (well, I did anyway). It was great. We were working to save the planet.
But since 1999 new evidence has seriously weakened the case that carbon emissions are the main cause of global warming, and by 2007 the evidence was pretty conclusive that carbon played only a minor role and was not the main cause of the recent global warming. As Lord Keynes famously said, "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"
There has not been a public debate about the causes of global warming and most of the public and our decision makers are not aware of the most basic salient facts:
None of these points are controversial. The alarmist scientists agree with them, though they would dispute their relevance. The last point was known and past dispute by 2003, yet Al Gore made his movie in 2005 and presented the ice cores as the sole reason for believing that carbon emissions cause global warming. In any other political context our cynical and experienced press corps would surely have called this dishonest and widely questioned the politician's assertion. Until now the global warming debate has merely been an academic matter of little interest. Now that it matters, we should debate the causes of global warming.
So far that debate has just consisted of a simple sleight of hand: show evidence of global warming, and while the audience is stunned at the implications, simply assert that it is due to carbon emissions. In the minds of the audience, the evidence that global warming has occurred becomes conflated with the alleged cause, and the audience hasn't noticed that the cause was merely asserted, not proved.
If there really was any evidence that carbon emissions caused global warming, don't you think we would have heard all about it ad nauseam by now? The world has spent $50 billion on global warming since 1990, and we have not found any actual evidence that carbon emissions cause global warming. Evidence consists of observations made by someone at some time that supports the idea that carbon emissions cause global warming. Computer models and theoretical calculations are not evidence, they are just theory.
What is going to happen over the next decade as global temperatures continue not to rise? The Labor Government is about to deliberately wreck the economy in order to reduce carbon emissions. If the reasons later turn out to be bogus, the electorate is not going to re-elect a Labor government for a long time. When it comes to light that the carbon scare was known to be bogus in 2008, the ALP is going to be regarded as criminally negligent or ideologically stupid for not having seen through it. And if the Liberals support the general thrust of their actions, they will be seen likewise. The onus should be on those who want to change things to provide evidence for why the changes are necessary. The Australian public is eventually going to have to be told the evidence anyway, so it might as well be told before wrecking the economy.

As Lord Keynes famously said, "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"
There has not been a public debate about the causes of global warming and most of the public and our decision makers are not aware of the most basic salient facts:
- The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it. Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most. The signature of an increased greenhouse effect is a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics. We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever.
- If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. If we had found the greenhouse signature then I would be an alarmist again.
- When the signature was found to be missing in 2007 (after the latest IPCC report), alarmists objected that maybe the readings of the radiosonde thermometers might not be accurate and maybe the hot spot was there but had gone undetected. Yet hundreds of radiosondes have given the same answer, so statistically it is not possible that they missed the hot spot.
- Recently the alarmists have suggested we ignore the radiosonde thermometers, but instead take the radiosonde wind measurements, apply a theory about wind shear, and run the results through their computers to estimate the temperatures. They then say that the results show that we cannot rule out the presence of a hot spot. If you believe that you'd believe anything.
- There is no evidence to support the idea that carbon emissions cause significant global warming. None. There is plenty of evidence that global warming has occurred, and theory suggests that carbon emissions should raise temperatures (though by how much is hotly disputed) but there are no observations by anyone that implicate carbon emissions as a significant cause of the recent global warming.
- The satellites that measure the world's temperature all say that the warming trend ended in 2001, and that the temperature has dropped about 0.6C in the past year (to the temperature of 1980). Land-based temperature readings are corrupted by the "urban heat island" effect: urban areas encroaching on thermometer stations warm the micro-climate around the thermometer, due to vegetation changes, concrete, cars, houses. Satellite data is the only temperature data we can trust, but it only goes back to 1979. NASA reports only land-based data, and reports a modest warming trend and recent cooling. The other three global temperature records use a mix of satellite and land measurements, or satellite only, and they all show no warming since 2001 and a recent cooling.
- The new ice cores show that in the past six global warmings over the past half a million years, the temperature rises occurred on average 800 years before the accompanying rise in atmospheric carbon. Which says something important about which was cause and which was effect.
None of these points are controversial. The alarmist scientists agree with them, though they would dispute their relevance. The last point was known and past dispute by 2003, yet Al Gore made his movie in 2005 and presented the ice cores as the sole reason for believing that carbon emissions cause global warming. In any other political context our cynical and experienced press corps would surely have called this dishonest and widely questioned the politician's assertion.

Social networking surpasses porn on the web
While I laud this possible 'dethroning' of porn on the web, I will say that social networking does not mean that we are actually more 'social.'
It's merely another superficial way of relating to others. It's keeping others at a distance, doesn't make for deep meaningful relationships, and is merely a symptom of the rampant self-involvement of people today.

Isn't it interesting that as a member of the left, Ms. Greenberg may very well be the same type of person who uses HER OWN ARGUMENT about making children cry, against parents who choose to spank (not BEAT) their children.
"Maybe getting kids to cry isn't the nicest thing to do, but I'm not causing anyone permanent psychological damage."
HOW DOES SHE KNOW??? So arrogant! So disdainful. So hypocritical!

HUMILIATE, NOT EDUCATE
I've stolen the phrase "humiliate, not educate" from Dennis Prager, from just today. It might also be "humiliate, rather than illuminate."
Dennis states that after seeing the (chopped up) interview of Sarah Palin by Charlie Gibson, this is the not-so-new mantra of the mainstream media as it relates to anyone on the right, especially if that someone happens to be in the political arena (see my post on photographer Jill Greenberg).
Rather than being objective and impartial journalistically, the MSM blatantly chooses to skew and distort a person's words to fit their own agenda. "Gotcha" and phony questions about the "Bush doctrine" shows Mr. Gibson's own ignorance and philosophy, especially when Sarah Palin managed to stay calm and collected in her responses, rather than to lean over and throttle Mr. Gibson, which is what most of us would have done!
Wow. Apparently the "Bush doctrine" has been around for THOUSANDS of years, then, because leaders and countries all the way back to Caesar have followed this particular line of thought in times of war! Who knew?

GIBSON: Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?
PALIN: In what respect, Charlie?
GIBSON: The Bush — well, what do you — what do you interpret it to be?
PALIN: His world view?
GIBSON: No, the Bush doctrine, enunciated September 2002, before the
…
GIBSON: Do we have a right to anticipatory self-defense? Do we have a right to make a preemptive strike again another country if we feel that country might strike us?
PALIN: Charlie, if there is legitimate and enough intelligence that tells us that a strike is imminent against American people, we have every right to defend our country. In fact, the president has the obligation, the duty to defend.

ABC Edited Out Key Parts of Sarah Palin Interview
Naturally, ABC (you know the one who spelled God with a small G?) left out some very important information from Charlie Gibson's interview of Sarah Palin.
Thankfully the entire transcript can be found here.

Atlantic 'Appalled' by Lib Photog's Altered McCain Pics
This is what happens when you hire a "hard core" liberal to take pictures for your magazine.
Yep, she's a keeper! No shame, no remorse. Here are 2 quotes from the article that get to the gist of it:
This tells us a lot about what kind of ethics Greenberg believes the Left approves of.
We should worry if that mindset really does gain power.

McCain photo controversy
Greenberg was contracted by The Atlantic to shoot a picture of John McCain for the magazine's October, 2008 cover. She admitted to deliberately shooting the images to cause McCain to appear unfavorably, by placing a strobe light on the ground in order to make McCain look more sinister. She stated that it was her intention to "stir stuff up.". Greenberg also posted to her website altered versions of photographs she had taken of McCain showing him in an unfavorable light, including an image of McCain with bleeding vampire teeth with the caption "I am a bloodthirsty warmonger." Her behavior was described as "incredibly unprofessional" by James Bennet, the Atlantic's editor. Greenberg was unapologetic, stating "Some of my artwork has been pretty anti-Bush, so maybe it was somewhat irresponsible for [The Atlantic] to hire me."
This is so typical. Immaturity and raw hatred. Blames the Atlantic for HER OWN ACTIONS. She can't even be professional with a presidential candidate. Although you can BET that if Obama were in her studio, the photos would be glowing with adoration and "virtue!"Australian jury finds 6 Muslims guilty of terrorism
At least they found 6 guilty, even if they aquitted 4 others.
a big God...with a little "g"
In ABC News' on line article about Sarah Palin's faith, three paragraphs oh-so-conveniently "misspell" God as "god." With a small "g."
A simple slip? A little "oopsie"? Oh, I think not. And just in case ABC happens to correct this error, here is a screenshot:

Why the Media Feminists Hate Palin
And why the Right loves her!
Another typical response to Sarah Palin from a feminist on the left.
Hates her. She proudly says so!

Clinton had no foreign experience either
The media needs to zip it about Sarah Palin on this one.
Looks like Clinton (and others) didn't have foreign policy experience either.

Mankind’s greatest experiment ???
Sometimes the most brilliant minds really are the most clueless. WHY should we even bother to know this information???
This is what happens when the entire planet is more or less held hostage by a few "mad" scientists who insist that ONLY THEY KNOW WHAT'S BEST and they ("we") NEED TO KNOW THE ANSWER, therefore, billions upon billions of dollars are spent creating a machine that MIGHT give us some kind of answer to the "mysteries of the universe."
But it's all for naught! What they don't understand is that WE. WILL. NEVER. KNOW.
Like the human body, when it comes to the universe, God has created mysteries inside riddles wrapped in enigmas. The perfection and exquisitely minute details of the universe, as well as the "stuff" that holds everything together, both within and without, CANNOT be known by mankind because our tiny human minds are simply unable to grasp or fathom things that are so far beyond us. This is shown in the Book of Job:
Job 38 (this is the Lord speaking to Job, chastising him for "shaking his fist" at God):

Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand.
Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it?
On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?
Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades? Can you loose the cords of Orion?
Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs?
Do you know the laws of the heavens?
Can you set up God's dominion over the earth?
Street cred makes GREAT role models
Isn't it a wonderful society we live in when multimillionaire rap artists are known for their "street cred," i.e., "...the number of entries on their rap sheet, the time they have spent behind bars, or the gritty details of their illicit escapades."
If that isn't some kind of screwed up role model, then I don't know what is.
Add that to the standard Hollyweird/Britney stuff. Ugh.

DEMS SINK TO NEW LOWS
OK, the dems are sinking lower and lower when it comes to Sarah Palin. Just when you think things can't get worse, we have these two items:
A fake eBay post about Sarah Palin "auctioning" off Trig!
Worse yet, a blog (courtesy of Blogger/Google) called "I miss my Mommy," created by those who call themselves "feminists" and claim to be "pro-women"!
It's just SICK. And these are the people who insist that Obama should be our next president??? This, after doing other things like slashing the tires of Republicans during voting, trashing the Whitehouse upon departure from office, doing everything they can to denigrate our president, humiliate our military, and embarrass our country, plus myriad other activities...why would they think that the country would actually want someone like that running the country? Are they blind? Are they out of touch? Are they crazy? Are they evil?
I think the answer would have to be YES, on all accounts. I believe many of them are.

Tens of Thousands of Iraqis Could Come to U.S.
OK...and if they abide by our laws and rules and learn to assimilate into our society, and not live in self-imposed, alientated, hard-core cliques, then I say: COME ON DOWN!
Judge Halts Immigrant Rental Ban in Dallas Suburb
Here we go again. Another judge trying to MAKE legislation instead of holding up constitutional law!
Funny, but...I seem to recall that when I filled out my lease application (and job applications!), I WAS ASKED if I was a U.S. citizen.
Things that make you go hmmm...

Singing 'la-la-la' won't make jihadists go away
Fantastic article by Richard Littlejohn (the DailyMail, a British newspaper), about England's lack of a backbone in fighting terrorism from within. Sounds awfully familiar...something we are experiencing here in the States as well!
Among other great tidbits in this article is this paragraph:
...We shouldn't read too much into their sermons about it being the holy duty of all Muslims to kill Jews, gays and dirty unbelievers. It's their culture, innit? When deranged lunatics marched through London bearing placards calling for the beheading and murder of infidels, we were told by the 'diversity' brigade that it wasn't anything to worry about, just a bit of high spirits.
Christ said in the last days, the earth would be blinded by a great delusion...I'm thinking that this may very well be part of that delusion!

FDA: Infant Formula From China Contains Melamine
Aside from the "eew, gross!" factor, the smart thing would be to NOT buy or ingest anything from China, period!
Ike: get out or face 'certain death'
Wow...Ike looks like another bad hurricane, and this one is about to hit the Texas coast!
Medvedev would attack Georgia even if on NATO track
And the world gets mad at the US when we go against the U.N.
I guess being a part of NATO holds no water for Russia, either.

Saudi: OK to kill owners of 'immoral' TV networks
Being owners of "immoral" TV networks is one thing, they do have a lot to answer for, but "immoral" in this case is relative, and the outright murder of another is never justified for its own sake!
The NAU - it's coming
The NAU, or, North American Union, is on its way to being reality! Borders are already being erased between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, forming one large "union" not unlike like the EU. Bush, Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, have already held a series of 3 secret meetings about this very issue, and have all signed agreements putting the wheels for this union into motion. A horrifying thught to be sure, but make no mistake, it's coming. PAY ATTENTION to the following terms, as they will soon become familiar:
Organizations supporting supercorridors:
North American SuperCorridor Coalition (NASCO)
North American Forum on Integration
NAFTA of course
map of the Trans-Texas Corridor
map of Canamex corridor
Nasco's map of highways
Also, it looks like the "Amero" coin is in the works as well. Apparently there are some of these coins in circulation, HOWEVER, they are not (yet) legal tender, and are merely shown currently as "fantasy" coins. Interestingly, though, the artist of these coins, one Daniel Carr, also created several other coin designs, two of which, for New York and Rhode Island, became actual state quarters. As well, it looks like the NAU logo is already being used by South Carolina!
Quote: "...the hologram of the continent was the creation of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization that, according to the group's website, "develops model programs in motor vehicle administration, law enforcement and highway safety." http://www.aamva.org/
A North American Union, along with the European Union, are just two steps closer to putting all countries under ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. I predict that there soon will be several more types of "unions," such as a Baltic Union (eastern Europe, and all the "stans"- aka "Gog"), a Cino-Russe Union (Russia, China - aka "Magog"), and a PanAsian Union (Oz, N. Zealand, N. Guinea, Indonesia, India, Singapore), though I'm unsure where to put S. America and Africa.

CO Company Fires 100 Muslim Workers
If Colorado is anything like Texas where I live, it's a RIGHT TO WORK state, and they can fire you and hire you for ANY REASON AT ALL.
If they left work and then did not show up when they were supposed to, then too bad.
Once again, they are PUSHING THE ENVELOPE, using our own laws against us!
