France2 TV Busted for Showing Fake Mohammad al-Dura Film
2008-04-24 19:58:00 The Mohammad al-Dura film that France2 TV showed sparked the second, bloody Intifatah, since the video appeared to show a 12 year old boy being killed by Israeli gun fire. In the years since then, analysts have demonstrated that, given where the Israelis were positioned, it would have been virtually impossible for them to ...

Calling the Democrat?s Bluff
2008-04-24 13:45:00 Prior to the 2006 elections Nancy Pelosi put out a memo telling people that the Democrat s had a plan to lower gasoline prices. Her memo discussed many items that Democrats, if placed in charge, would do to lower prices and ease the burden of rising fuel costs. Two years later the plan has yet to ...

Guilt by association *UPDATED*
2008-04-24 01:13:00 On the liberal side of the American political world, one of the lingering horrors of the McCarthy era is ?guilt by association.? Certainly that was the lesson I, a young liberal, took away from teachings about that era. As I learned it, it wasn?t that the HUAC hearings were aimed at discovering genuine Communist infiltration ... More About: Election 2008 , Association , Guilt

It?s only in the wonderful world of TV news, however, that lying and cheating seem to have very limited repercussions. People like you and me have already gone ...

Did ?Operation Chaos? Rule the Day in Pennsylvania Primary?
2008-04-23 14:27:00 Hillary Clinton launched into a predictably amateurish bit after winning the Pennsylvania primary; acting like Rocky toppling a formidable foe. Is this really all the Democrats have to offer? It’s hard to tell what actually happened here however. The outcome was pretty much as predicted and I’m not so sure the exit polls show ...

And All This Time, Toronto Thought It Was The Center Of The Universe
2008-04-22 23:12:00 Who knew? Muslim scientists and clerics have called for the adoption of Mecca time to replace GMT, arguing that the Saudi city is the true centre of the Earth. Mecca is the direction all Muslims face when they perform their daily prayers. One geologist argued that unlike other longitudes, Mecca?s was in perfect alignment to magnetic north. He said ...

The Mysteries of the Human Brain
2008-04-22 22:07:00 Many years ago, I was talking to a friend of mine who was a medical student on his neurology rotation. He related what was, to me, an amazing story.

Amazon.com?s Forum on Religion: Great Place to Bash Christians

With little exception unmoderated discussion boards, internet based news outlets and blogs that ... More About: Religion , Amazon , Great , Forum , Christians
Obama Endorses McCain over Bush
2008-04-22 02:43:00 In this video, the quickly descending Barack Obama states that John McCain is a better option as our Commander in Chief than George W. Bush ; however he still maintains that either he or Hillary Clinton would be better yet. Mr. Bush has been no prize but generally has it right on National Security issues. Obama?s sideways ...

?Yes, I Will Ignore The Commanders.?
2008-04-21 21:28:00 Our local public radio station was replaying the most recent Hillbama debate, and so I listened to a piece of it that had slipped under my radar the first time. It?s actually quite funny, despite the scary implications of what Hillary is saying she?ll do regarding Iraq if she?s elected President. Here?s what she said, ...

2008-04-21 19:00:00 Ocean Guy sees a big war coming, and has just the right thing to say about our continued refusal to face that reality: The trouble is that the cessation of hostilities on one side does not equal peace.

What my friends are saying — Part 2
2008-04-21 17:00:00 Picking up where I left off: Anybody who has read this blog for more than a month or two knows that, while I appreciate all of our armed forces, I have a special spot in my heart for the Marines. I therefore really, really liked what One Marine had to say about what it means to be a Marine. My sincere condolences, by the way, for the two Marines his unit recently lost. I continue to believe that McCain, with all his faults, his still so far superior to Hillbama that it’s truly no contest for conservatives to pick their candidate (and, with the Supreme Court in mind, not to sit out the election). Nevertheless, as I said, McCain definitely has those faults, and Skippy-san zeroed in on a couple of them. On the conservative side, we long ago expressed the concern that an ill-thought out rush into biofuels would harm the world food supply. Sadly, the Left started getting worried only after that concern became an actual reality. Gerry Charlotte Phelps has a good post about this blindne... More About: Friends , Part
What my friends are saying — Part 1
2008-04-21 15:30:00 It’s been way too long since I gave myself the pleasure of a visit to the blogs I list in my own blogroll. As always, I urge you to do the same, since there are so many good sites visited there. Here’s a sampling of some of the interesting reading you can find: At A Rose By Any Other Name, every Wednesday, Anna writes a post about an American hero on the front lines in Iraq or Afghanistan. She does not view these men and women as sacrificial lambs, whose deaths or injuries need to be highlighted to score political points, but as human beings who put their lives on the line for their beliefs. At Benning’s Writing Pad, you can read about former Congressman J.C. Watts, a rock-solid conservative who sounds very much like someone who should be short-listed for McCain’s Veep choice. The Confederate Yankee explains why Ayers is a terrorist (and, although he doesn’t mention Coburn at all, one can see why Coburn, who supports rule of law, is not). Obama’s choice of friends isn’...

“The Left Wing…Kind of Admires American Terrorists”
2008-04-21 13:51:00 Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Fox News Friday night: “The left wing of the Democratic Party, frankly, kind of admires American terrorists.” By sheer coincidence, I happened to trip across the video after skimming over an article on one of American history’s most important but forgotten icons: Emma Goldman, one of the principle founders of the American genocide movement in the early part of the 20th century, anarchist, terrorist, inspiration for “Emmanuel Goldstein” in George Orwell’s novel 1984. I just thought it was interesting that Emma Goldman sort of…talked…like…someone…any one of a number of people yammering away right about now. We say that if America has entered the war to make the world safe for democracy, she must first make democracy safe in America. How else is the world to take America seriously, when democracy at home is daily being outraged, free speech suppressed, peaceable assemblies broken up by overbearing and brutal gangsters in uniform...

MSM Using Papal Visit to Focus on Priest Scandals Instead of Obama’s Rev.
2008-04-17 04:44:00 Thank heavens. Pope Benedict XVI has finally stepped off of Shepherd One onto American soil to begin a six day visit that is sure to be everything the American left hopes to make it out to be. The media is working overtime to resurrect old wounds, create some new controversies and repeat liberal talking points that so perfectly judges a man as only the selective memory of liberal hypocrisy has the ability to do. And just in time too. What better way to take the pressure off of Barack Obama’s Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy than to reignite the flames of the Catholic Church priest sex scandal? Finally, a target has appeared that is worthy of the left’s criticism and utter disdain. If only he had visited 2 or 3 weeks back. I had at one time thought that the mainstream media had been pretty well represented by articles filled with your typical leftist anti-Christian/anti-Pope Benedict slant. To see examples of such bias we need only stop by the magnifying glass of Wikipedia. Their... More About: Scandals , Focus , Visit , Priest
Death By Symbolism
2008-04-17 00:47:00 Racialism in 2008 is becoming to the Obama campaign what the military was in 2004 to the Kerry campaign. In the first post-war presidential election following 9/11, Democrats put forth John Kerry as their nominee based on the notion that his military background made him the most legitimate Democrat to lose the war on terror. Kerry had spent four months in a war zone some 35 years earlier and the American Left - who we count on to win wars only where there is little to no combat involved - insisted that that alone meant that Kerry should be elected on the premise of providing strong military leadership. From the moment Kerry left Southeast Asia in 1969, he has had to balance his contempt for the military with the reality that he would never achieve his ambitions if American voters knew that about him. So he walks the fine line between opposing all things military while pushing a contradicting perception. This has led to numerous ‘misstatements’ about the military, the...

Hillary; Tired at 11pm, Ready at 3am?
More articles from this author:2008-04-16 22:00:00 Hillary Clinton lied to America at least three times about being under sniper fire on a trip to Bosnia. When a pesky video of the trip showed a casual visit without the slightest hint of sniper fire or any other dangers, Hillary was forced to change course and she did so by suggesting that she had misspoken and that she was tired. Her husband, former president Bill Clinton, reopened that painful incident by mentioning it and then lying about the lie. He stated that Hillary was tired after a long day and that she made a mistake at 11 pm. Her lie occurred in the morning, not the night. Bill is out talking about Obama’s smoke and mirrors campaign and how the older voters would be too smart to fall for Obama and would gravitate to Hillary. Bill spent part of the time trying to ensure his legacy was left intact by comparing his years in office with those of George Bush. Bill wants us to think that his eight years were full of peace and prosperity while the Bush years have been full of ... More About: Hillary , Ready , Tired 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
