Petraeus: Al Qaida trying to 'come back in'

Just a note to Obama, looks like you would have to do some thing in Iraq, if you were elected. You would not be able to surrender now would you? Provided of course, any thing you have said trying to get the nomination has any basis in truth.

"Al Qaida is trying to come back in," U.S. military commander Gen. David Petraeus said. "We can feel it and see it, and what we're trying to do is rip out any roots before they can get deeply into the ground."

Al Qaida has even resorted to using women as homicide bombers. I wonder where NOW is on this?

The general said Al Qaida was turning to women suicide bombers because the insurgency network failed to drive car bombs through military and police checkpoints.

"Al Qaida is incredibly resilient, and they are receiving people and supplies through Syria — although numbers through Syria are down as much as 50 percent," Petraeus said.

Poor Obama!

Looks like it is time for the old Sailor to get back to blogging. Seems Obama is whining about tough questions. About damned time some one started asking them!

"Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions," Obama, looking surprised, told shouting reporters as he fled the room. "We're running late."

The Clinton campaign has long complained that Obama gets soft treatment from the press corps. But Monday's exchange was no pillow fight."

I wonder what he will do when he has to deal with that crazy Iranian or the nut case in Venezuela. I have long maintained that Barrack is not ready for prime time, and now he is proving me right.

Hillary Clinton Calls for Gonzales' Resignation

ADDITIONAL UPDATE

UPDATE

Hillary has joined Chuckie Cheese Schumer and the rest of the democrat hypocrites in calling for the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Seems to me, it was her husband that fired all the US Attorneys when he took office. We certainly did not hear Hillary or Chuckie Cheese complain. Then again Bill Clinton is one of theirs, so it was okay. The stink of hypocrisy extends to the usual suspects in the MSN, the NY Times, Washington Post and AP, each of whom never bothered to mention this inconvenient fact in their front pages stories.

US Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President. He can fire 1, 2, 3 or all of them. This nonsense emanating from the dems is nothing more then political grandstanding. - Sailor


Hillary's remarks

Today's Wall Street Journal reminds Hillary of the Hubbell Standard. For all her hot air, old Hillary knows all about firing US Attorneys. After all, by her own admission she was co-President when Billy Clinton fired all of the US Attorneys. The artilce in the WSJ lays out some of the reasons for the recent firings and unlike the usual MSN suspects, takes Hilklary to task over her hypocrisy. - Sailor

"The supposed scandal this week is that Mr. Bush had been informed last fall that some U.S. Attorneys had been less than vigorous in pursuing voter-fraud cases and that the President had made the point to Attorney General Albert Gonzales. Voter fraud strikes at the heart of democratic institutions, and it was entirely appropriate for Mr. Bush--or any President--to insist that his appointees act energetically against it.

Take sacked U.S. Attorney John McKay from Washington state. In 2004, the Governor's race was decided in favor of Democrat Christine Gregoire by 129-votes on a third recount. As the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and other media outlets reported, some of the "voters" were deceased, others were registered in storage-rental facilities, and still others were convicted felons. More than 100 ballots were "discovered" in a Seattle warehouse. None of this constitutes proof that the election was stolen. But it should have been enough to prompt Mr. McKay, a Democrat, to investigate, something he declined to do, apparently on grounds that he had better things to do.

In New Mexico, another state in which recent elections have been decided by razor thin margins, U.S. Attorney David Iglesias did establish a voter fraud task force in 2004. But it lasted all of 10 weeks before closing its doors, despite evidence of irregularities by the likes of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or Acorn. As our John Fund reported at the time, Acorn's director Matt Henderson refused to answer questions in court about whether his group had illegally made copies of voter registration cards in the run-up to the 2004 election."

Wall Street Journal Article

" 3-2.120 Appointment

United States Attorneys are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate for a four-year term. See 28 U.S.C. Sec. 541. Upon expiration of this term, the United States Attorney continues to perform the duties of the office until a successor is confirmed. United States Attorneys are subject to removal at the will of the President.See Parsons v. United States, 167 U.S. 314 (1897)."

AFL-CIO bullying Colorado on Dems’ 2008 convention

It stands to reason, based on the success of the far left of the dem party, getting the Nevada Dem Party to drop the debate to be aired on Fox, that the AFL-CIO would try and bully to have the Dem Convention moved out of Denever. Seems the union doesn't like that Gov. Bill Ritter vetoed a bill that would no longer permit secrect ballots when emplyees are voting to unionize or not. Since the dems have been in bed with big laober for decades, it will be interesting to see how they deal with this.

"WASHINGTON - National AFL officials seem determined to remove any remaining doubt in anybody’s mind that Gov. Bill Ritter did the right thing in February by vetoing Colorado House bill 1072. That hurriedly approved measure repealed a long-standing Colorado law requiring that, once a company’s employees approve a union, they have a second, secret-ballot vote on how dues will be assessed, with a 75 percent supermajority required for approval.

Why is the AFL-CIO so worried about an obscure Colorado bill? Because the vetoed measure was of a piece with the “Employee Free Choice Act of 2007” now being rushed through Congress by national Democrats, led by Rep. George Miller, D-Calif. That bill abolishes all secret ballot voting in union representation contests. Doing away with workers’ right to cast a secret ballot when voting on whether to unionize is the AFL-CIO’s top national priority because union leaders think it will help them reverse their decades-long slide in membership. Less than 10 percent of all private sector workers now belong to unions.

AFL-CIO officials say they will urge Democrats to move their 2008 national convention from Denver if Ritter doesn’t agree to sign a re-introduced version of 1072. Since a quarter of the delegates to a typical Democratic National Convention are union representatives, the AFL-CIO threat is not a hollow one for DNC officials. But the AFL-CIO’s threats against Ritter and Colorado workers shows exactly why secret ballots must be protected in all workplaces nationwide. Otherwise, workers will be exposed to endless threats and intimidation from thuggish union organizers."

What is it that scares big labor about secret ballots? Could it be it limits the amount of intimidation they can use? Their claims that companies can do the intimidation is bogus. Intimindating workers is a two way street. It will be interesting to see if the dems cave on this as well - Sailor

Editorial

Court strikes down D.C. ban on guns

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

For years, the anti-gun lobby has claimed that the Second Amenedment, does not guarantee an individual's right to keep a fire arm. Now a Federal Court has decided that in fact, the Second Amendment does indeed make that guarentee.

"A federal appeals court yesterday struck down the District's 30-year-old gun ban, ruling that the right to bear arms as guaranteed in the Second Amendment applies to individuals and not only to militias.

"The Second Amendment would be an inexplicable aberration if it were not read to protect individual rights as well," the 58-page ruling said.

The 2-1 decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit overturned a 2004 lower-court decision against six D.C. residents who filed suit to keep guns for self-protection.

"The District insists that the phrase 'keep and bear arms' should be read as purely military language, and thus indicative of a civic, rather than private, guarantee," the ruling said. "The term 'bear arms' is obviously susceptible to a military construction. But it is not accurate to construe it exclusively so." "

ARTICLE

In her dissent, Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson argued that the Second Amendment does not apply to DC, because it is not a state. By her reasoning then, the rest of the Constitution does not apply either. Think about the ramifications of that! - Sailor

Nevada Dems Nix Fox Debate

Once again, the dems cave in to their ultra left wing. Then they wonder why they have problems winning Presidential elections. More interesting then the article itself are some of the lefty comments.

"by kaitlin on 03.09.2007 at 05:42 PM

bravo to the Dems. It's about time they started pushing back against their enemies! Fox News is the most deceitful, partisan and bigoted faux-news channel in the history of television and only FoxNews has the unmitigated gall to claim other news outlets are bigoted. Insanity reigns in the rightwing, neocon world.

by Ohio Poboy on 03.09.2007 at 05:41 PM

Truth, like Beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. I behold little truth on Faux News because each sentence spewing from the talking head of the moment is predictable. Nothing our Feuhrer says or does is improper or incorrect. All who doubt him are weak, ignorant lesser beings, or agents and supporters of the Terrorists.

For those 30 percent who still need to see this enormous blunder of a war in rosy tones, there is a network. This is not the network, however, on which to have an objective political debate. Roger Ailes deserves the scorn and spiteful rejection of those he has so often mischaracterized and pilloried.

Why reward this behavior? Why not stand for something in the face of his red-faced, right wing invective that blasts forth from his bull horn parroting the same singular note every day?

by Vaughan on 03.09.2007 at 05:38 PM

Fox News isn't news, it's completely an arm of the Repuclican party. It is about time that the Democratic Party refuses to be bullied by Fox. Roger Ailes has repeatedly smeared dems, and it's about time for them to stop participating in spreading the Republican talking points. Maybe Fox news will learn what Fair really means."

UPDATE

Here is an excerpt from the Los Vegas Review-Journal editorial on this.

"The approach of outfits such as MoveOn.org is so juvenile it's laughable. Imagine if every political organization created litmus tests for news organizations before agreeing to appear on their programming. Republicans would have boycotted PBS, CBS, NBC, ABC, National Public Radio and The Associated Press decades ago.

This hyperventilation results from the fact that far-left Democrats have no comparable media outlet, nor any widespread national appeal, for their radical views in favor of heavy-handed regulation, wealth redistribution, diplomatic capitulation and economic protectionism. So they attack their rivals' messenger with a reckless barrage of rhetoric that cuts down their own allies with friendly fire."

Insurgent Leader Nabbed in Iraq Raid

Another good day for the good guys in Iraq. Abu Omar al-Baghdadi has been captured in a raid near Baghdad. One less terrorist big shot on the streets. - Sailor

Full story

"BAGHDAD (AP) - The leader of the al-Qaida-affiliated Islamic State of Iraq was captured Friday in a raid west of Baghdad - his identity revealed by a fellow insurgent detained with him, an Iraqi military spokesman said.

Abu Omar al-Baghdadi was captured in a raid in Abu Ghraib on the western outskirts of Baghdad, said Brig. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, spokesman of the Baghdad security operation. U.S. officials had no confirmation of the capture.

"One of the terrorists who was arrested with him confessed that the one in our hands is al-Baghdadi," al-Moussawi said.

Al-Baghdadi has been identified in statements posted on Islamic extremist Web sites as the head of the Islamic State, which was proclaimed last year after the death of the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi."

Hilary gets Another Shill

As if the NY Times was not enough, Hilary has a new shill at CBS News. CBS has hired Clinton crony, Rick Kaplan to help stop the Katie Couric's ratings bleeding. Look out Obama, the Clinton machine has a new member! - Sailor

Golf with Bill, overnights in the Lincoln Bedroom, a personal two-and-a-half-hour tour of the White House by the president for his 21-year-old daughter are among the perks Kaplan has enjoyed. His response to press questions about the conflict of interest: "It's nobody's business." And CBS news viewers are now asked to believe it will have no effect on the former "World News Tonight" and "PrimeTime Live" producer's coverage of Hillary.

Kaplan, in fact, has long lacked professionalism and traded in bias:

• CNN had to retract its 1998 "Tailwind" report in the very first edition of the Kaplan-created "NewsStand" news magazine show. The program claimed the U.S. military used nerve gas in a mission to kill American defectors in Laos during the Vietnam War.

• In the 1993 Food Lion lawsuit against ABC's "PrimeTime Live," a jury demanded ABC pay the supermarket chain $5.5 million for fraud — and that executive producer Kaplan personally pay $35,000. Food Lion had accused the show's producers of deceiving the public with "staged events and selective editing." (ABC successfully appealed the verdict.)

• Vanity Fair reported in 1998 that Kaplan in October 1994 killed an ABC "World News Tonight" segment on the Clintons' Whitewater scandal featuring an exclusive interview with an Arkansas state trooper who claimed a Clinton aide had tried to silence him, and that Kaplan discouraged other Whitewater coverage.

• It also revealed Kaplan advised Bill on how to bounce back from his disastrously tedious speech to the 1988 Democratic National Convention, in which he was practically booed off the stage.

• The magazine also reported that Kaplan even once hired Hillary "to work on coverage of the 1980 Democratic convention."

• According to a CNN producer quoted in the Washington Monthly in 1993, Kaplan arranged for Bill to appear on New York's Don Imus radio program during the 1992 campaign.

Help Internet Radio Avoid Extinction

Seems that no matter where you turn these days, some entity is trying to make a bif financial grab and by doing so, putting some one out of business. Now, The Copyright Royalty Board, has made a ruling to increase royalties paid to artists for their music when it is played to some ridiculous percentage. A percentage only the big corporate interests can afford, and they are making it retroactive to 1 January 2006. This, if not stopped, will be the death knell of internet radio - Sailor.

Corporate interests are hard at working making sure you don't have a choice because they make more money when you have no choices. Protect Your Right To Diversity Protect your right to hear eclectic indepenent radio and discover new artists.You can save Internet radio with less than five minutes of your time. Write your congressional representative today.

Pass the word to anyone you know that loves or makes music. Also, please bookmark this page and check back frequently for updates. We need your continued support and action as the situation further develops.

Tell your representative: I do not support The Copyright Royalty Board's (CRB) March 2nd decision to substantially increase royalty rates. Not only will it impact my choices, but the Recording Industry Association of America's (RIAA) manipulation of these rates, and the CRB's indifference will hurt working artists, damage small record labels and force law abiding small webcasters, already paying a large portion of their revenue per month in royalties, out of business. This decision will also damage hundreds of small businesses providing goods and services to working artists, small record labels and small webcasters.

I respectfully ask that you evaluate the CRB decision and do whatever is necessary to establish a reasonable royalty rate for all the parties involved. Who, What and When On March 2, 2007, The CRB approved royalty rates that will bury any small webcaster, and create a heavy burden even for big broadcasters like Yahoo, AOL Music and Pandora. How high will these rates be? Around 100% of a small webcasters revenue, give or take a few points, in most cases. What?! That's impossible to pay! Yep, it sure is.. How did this happen? The RIAA told the CRB thats what they wanted, and the CRB just gave it to them.

Your're probably thinking, hey that's awful, but who are the the RIAA and CRB? RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) is a lobbying group formed by the five largest record labels. They are embedded in Washington D.C. They make sure laws are written to keep them rich, no matter what. They made headlines a few years ago opening lawsuits against elderly people, single mothers and children for trading music online, even though some of them didn't even have computers. Check out the latest RIAA headlines.

The CRB (Copyright Royalty Board) is part of the US Copyright Office. The Board is charged with determining the royalty rates that would be determined by a willing buyer and a willing seller in a marketplace transaction. They decided to jack the rates beyond a broadcasters means despite decades of royalty rates being 1 - 2% of broadcaster revenue. Raise your right hand if you want to take away consumer choice, hurt working artists, damage small record labels and put small webcasters out of business.

Bolton must be confirmed

Yes, I know I have been AWOL. But, I am back now and will have much to say about the current situations and issues that we face now.

I will be starting with the Bolton nomination as the US Ambassador to the UN. I have been a supporter of Mr.Bolton since his name was first whispered as a possible selection for the post. All you need to do is look through my archives to see this. Mr. Bolton has more than proved his effectiveness. David Limbaugh has some observations in his article which supports the Bolton nomination.

"Liberals don't like it one bit that Bolton sees his role as vigorously representing the national interests of the United States, just as every other U.N. ambassador advocates the positions of his own country. They don't support Bolton's efforts to reform the United Nations, a corrupt organization that has consistently mistreated the United States and made a mockery of human rights -- a cause it purports to champion. They cringe when Bolton exposes U.N. hypocrisy, such as when he pointedly challenged Louise Arbour, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, on his threat to charge Israeli leaders with war crimes.

They don't like Bolton's unambiguous defense of Israel's actions in response to Hezbollah's unprovoked attacks, in which they killed and kidnapped Israeli soldiers and shot missiles indiscriminately into Israeli civilian populations. They resent Bolton's rejection of the U.N.'s moral perversion in giving the terrorists a pass for their atrocities and portraying Israeli acts of self-defense as war crimes. "

I guess those on the left, who thin the UN is the answer to all the world's ills, do not like some one that is willing to point out the Emporer is naked. When will the UN commissioner of human rights condemn terrorist groups? Not in his lifetime you can bet on that. For those who whine that other countries do not think Mr. Bolton is not doing a good job, ask me if I care what they think. No doubt they would prefer a panty waisted roll over for an ambassador.

Mr. Prager ends his article with this:

"As Bolton knows, it's hard to negotiate with savages of that mindset. That's why in an interview with Fox News' Brit Hume, Bolton dismissed Syria's requests for dialogue with the United States. Bolton told Brit, "Syria doesn't need dialogue to know what they need to do. They need to lean on Hezbollah to get them to release the two captured Israeli soldiers and stop the launch of rockets against innocent Israeli civilians." Exactly.

To put it bluntly, Republicans support Bolton's nomination precisely because of his clarity of thought and speech -- and his unapologetic representation of America's interests. Democrats oppose him because they sympathize with the negative view of Bolton held by foreign envoys who have anything but the best interests of the United States in mind.

If it bothers you that we have a staunch defender of America's interests serving as our ambassador to the United Nations and believe, instead, that we should routinely subordinate our interests to other nations openly hostile to us and contemptuous of the very idea of human rights, then you, too, should join the liberal chorus against confirmation of this fine public servant."

Mr.Bolton's nomination should be confirmed without delay. Natuarlly, the dems, lefists and terroist supporters, ass kissers and appeasers will try and filibuster this nomination. I hope that their attmpts will be in vain. Write or e-mail your Senator demanding that Mr. Bolton be confirmed. - Sailor

Is Rat Jack Murtha in Trouble at Home?

Is the left's favorite Marine in trouble at home? Could be Rat Jack Murtha may have a fight on his hands to keep his seat in Congress. Murtha's recent comments about the US being the biggest threat to peace and his totally asinine comments on the redeployment of US forces to Okinawa, have some people thinking it may be time for Rat Jack to be voted out of office. Robert Novak has some insights in his recent column.

"Murtha's opposition to the war has never been the real issue. His assertion that the U.S. is the greatest danger to world peace is only the most recent and perhaps most striking example of his potentially dangerous venture into the great left. Even more offensive were his statements condemning Marines who allegedly participated in a massacre in Iraq, which gave no regard to the presumption of innocence or the existence of evidence (the Marines involved maintain their innocence).

In fact, by stating that he had high-level confirmation that a massacre occurred, Murtha may have set a trap for himself. As the court martial begins, he is likely to be subpoenaed in the pre-trial hearings to testify to allegations of inappropriate command influence on the trial. He risks having his high-level sources of information exposed, or exposed as flimsy -- or even non-existent."

One of the defense lawyers in the Marine case have already stated they will call Murtha as a witness. Just a little note here to Rat Jack, the people of Okinawa will not welcome more US forces as Rat Jack claimed. For years now, these folks have been demanding a reduction in US forces. One other thing, Okinawa is over 4000 miles from Iraq. Looks like Rat Jack has forgotten his logistics. - Sailor

New York Times: Grey Lady Traitor
Written by Doc Farmer
Wednesday, June 28, 2006


I have a very
simple question. Has American gone completely insane?

No, I'm not posing this query because of the latest episodes of "The Jerry Springer Show," although I still marvel at the number of trailer parks our great nation must have supplying the "guests" on that program.

On September 11, 2001, America was attacked in a brutal and cowardly manner by 19 evil men following another evil man (Usama bin Laden) and an evil ideology (Islamofascism). While UBL had declared war on America years before, it took this abomination to finally get America to sit up and take this threat seriously. George W. Bush took immediate action and followed terrorists' declaration of war with one of his own. Not a war against Usama, or his followers, or even Al Qaeda, but a war against terrorism itself.

This is a World War. Whether Congress has or hasn't "declared"
war in the constitutional manner, it have given its vocal, and repeated, approval to this war. It is World War IV (World War III was the "cold" war, which Reagan won). America has, with its allies, won every World War in history. However, this may be the first World War that America could conceivably lose. Not because of our lack of military might. Not because our enemies are right, either morally or ethically. Not because our president, or this administration, or our brave troops, are lacking in will or determination.

No, we may well lose this war because of the New York Times.

The Grey Lady, as the New York Times has been called in the past, is a traitor. Its reporters are traitors. Its editors are traitors. Its publisher is a traitor.

Please note that I do not use this term lightly. I am speaking strictly from a legal and
constitutional basis. The New York Times is purposefully, willfully, and with malice aforethought, providing aid and comfort to our enemies in a time of war.

Why?

Why is the New York Times doing this? Why is it being aided and abetted by other members of the so-called "mainstream" media? Why is it being defended by politicians, pundits, and the putrid pukes of lib/dem/soc/commie-dom? What possible gain could the Times garner from America's defeat?

Probably the only thing about which the Times cares: the defeat of Bush. Lord knows, the newspaper has been doing everything possible to undermine the president, this administration, and the political party/ideology to which they belong. The so-called "right," or
rep/con/tairs as I prefer to call them. For that, the paper misuses the freedoms of this great nation in order to ensure that everyone potentially loses those freedoms.

Including, ironically, itselves.

The editors never seem to consider that, however. Do they truly believe that "freedom of the press" (or any other freedoms, for that matter) would still apply to them should Islamofascism win this war? Would the New York Times still exist, say, if Nazi fascism had won the day over six decades ago?

This is the dichotomy of a free press controlled by a lib/dem/soc/commie ideology. The Constitution, which the MSM hide behind no matter what crime they commit, would be the first thing destroyed if America loses World War IV. Free speech for the media would be gone, just as it is now for rep/con/tairs who speak up against the media's abuse. Oh, we're not jailed, but we are
vilified, ridiculed, and (wherever possible) ruined and defamed by the lib/dem/soc/commie press. Don't believe me? Ask Ann Coulter (Hubba! Hubba!), who is constantly slandered, libeled, misquoted, importuned, and attacked by her political, immoral, and unethical opponents. Luckily, Miss Coulter (Hubba!²) is quite able--and ever so willing--to defend herself from this collection of liars and misanthropes (or would they be misgynothropes in this case?).

Can we as a nation defend ourselves from the dangers created by a press hell-bent on our nation's destruction?

Well, putting aside the unfortunate irony that the New York Times can take every opportunity to demolish this country and all it stands for, while Americans cannot burn the New York Times building to the ground, crush the ashes and salt the
earth so that nothing may ever grow there again, then take the staff and publishers of said media monument (more a tabloid turd, actually) and do to them what Al Zarqawi did to Nick Berg, there are a limited number of options available to us.

Option One: Arrest Arthur Sulzberger Jr., Janet L. Robinson, Leonard P. Forman, the editors and (ir)responsible reporters involved in this story on the charges of Treason, aiding and abetting terrorism, sedition, jay-walking, bad breath, chewing their own toenails, farting in elevators, and anything else the government can throw at these bastards. Don't just throw the book at these toe-rags, dump an entire law library on their heads. Sadly, this will never happen. Why? Because the federal government in general, and the Bush administration in particular, don't have the testicular fortitude necessary to do the right thing. Dubya will gladly defend this nation abroad, but for some reason he
(and every president since Lincoln) doesn't believe it is right to bring traitors to task for their treason. Which is why Hanoi Jane, Hanoi John, Baghdad Jim, and Slick Willie are still walking the streets. Note to administration: First Amendment protections do not extend to illegal acts. Please try to keep this in mind.

Option Two: Boycott the New York Times and all of its other affiliated newspapers and broadcasters (the list is at the end of this article). Also, contact all of its advertisers and tell them what you think of their financial support of traitors. Granted, the NYT has had dropping circulation (even when it fakes its own numbers), but it has been a gradual decline. I think the words "screaming plummet" would
be a nicer outcome.

Option Three: File a class action suit against the New York Times Company for ten times its asset base. However, this option includes the use of effing lawyers, who will get 33% of the take, so it's not really the most preferred alternative. Unless, of course, we figure out a way to get rid of the lawyers right after the verdict, that is. Hmmmmm.

Option Four: Invade the New York Times Building with a well trained and heavily armed strike force, make the entire staff strip naked, and march them down the middle of West 43rd Street to the catcalls and ridicule of as many rep/con/tairs as can be bussed in, until they are locked in stocks outside the mayor's office and pelted with rotting vegetables, sprayed with eau de skunk, injected with the
Ebola virus, and forced to watch Paulie Shore movies until their eyes explode. (Hyperbolic? Yes. But as you might have guessed, this is a personal favorite....)

Option Five: All of the above.

Sounds extreme? Oh, it is, absolutely. But if it comes to a choice between their freedom to destroy the Constitution, the Nation, and our way of life, or our freedom to preserve the Constitution, the nation, and our way of life, I choose the latter.

Oh, one more thing to consider. If the mainstream media gets their way, and they force America to lose this war as they forced it to lose in Vietnam, you can pretty much be assured that ALL of America will face Option Four. Including the mainstream media.

Rebuild the Towers

This stalling and political posturing has gone on long enough. I an asking all of you to sign the petition at the Twin Towers Alliance. Here is their mission statement:

"Who Are We?

We are Democrats and Republicans, New Yorkers and Californians, Northerners and Southerners. We come from Idaho and Michigan, Canada and Hungary, Japan, Australia, and China. We live in Italy, Denmark, New Zealand, Mexico and Holland. In other words, we’re from diverse backgrounds and probably disagree on a number of things — but, we are united in believing that the Twin Towers should rise again.

We are the millions who cheered last year when Donald Trump called for new Twin Towers and who then had to watch as he was lampooned by clueless, self-important critics.

We are people with common sense, who recognize that failure to rebuild the Twin Towers would be seen around the world as capitulation and cannot resign ourselves to that undesirable and unnecessary fate.

It doesn’t have to end that way - nothing insurmountable stands in the way of building dazzling new Twin Towers as the crown jewels of a vibrant new World Trade Center.

If you are one of us, please do not hesitate to take a stand. You can either be part of the solution or part of the problem. We need you now. Lend your name to this cause and encourage others to do the same. The timing could not be better.

The power structure at Ground Zero is falling apart at the very time we are prepared to come together in record numbers! The groundwork has been laid for a victory of idealism over cynicism and resolve over apathy. We have a rare opportunity to stand together and be counted or we won’t count at all.

The People are speaking - our leaders should listen:

REBUILD THE TOWERS!

Why do anything else?

Please spread the word by adding the following signature to your emails and suggesting others do the same. And please do bypass the gatekeepers and make our case in the blogosphere. Thank you.


VOTE TO REBUILD!

So Much for the Tolerance of the Left

Amanda Doss purchased the domain Murthalied.com. Since then, she has been bombarded with some of the more vile attacks I have seen. The left always preaches tolerance, so much for that. I am going to post what is on Amanda's site and I am going to ask all of you to go there and send a message supporting her. - Sailor

"Have you been wondering whether you should support the Democrats or the Republicans? Do you think that both parties have some positive traits and some negative?
Let me introduce myself. I am Amanda Doss, web designer by profession. I have created websites for many different businesses and people. I have created websites for child care centers, autobody shops, Catholic churches, Methodist churches, screen-printing businesses, and more. I have also created websites for both Democrats and Republicans.

At the bottom of each the websites I design, I put copyright information as well as designer information, including my email address for professional responses. From the websites that I created for Democrats, I have NEVER received a negative, hateful, or inappropriate email from their Republican opponents.

However, shortly after I purchased the domain name MurthaLied.com, my personal information (including where I live, my picture, my client list, and my email address) was posted on several "Liberal" blogs.

No matter what your father did for this country, you have none of these qualities..You know nothing about the military from your own personal experience other than some officer's brat. You seem to want to attack Senator Murtha but be be careful who you attack Ms. Doss, this isn't John Kerry. This is a decorated Marine with many, many credentials to back him up. Please continue to try though, we will bury your threats, expose your lies, and most of all we will make it personal about you too. It is real easy in this day and age to find out people's spending habits, their comings and goings, and all the little things such as ex-boyfriends,ex-friends, and ex-colleagues in between. We will dig dirt up on you, it has already started.

Hi

I've got a great idea. Why don't YOU go to Iraq? You seem to take joy in the
killing of innocent "brown people", so why are you here in this country making
websites eh? Too much of a sissy to stand up for what you allegedly believe in?
Or too much of a total windbag pussy to put your money where your lying mouth
is?

Come on Amanda!

Just as Murtha said about Rove, you sit in your air-conditioned trailer-home in
Texarkana, telling the troops we'll "stay the course". You're wrong. They will
do the fighting, they will do the killing and they will do the dying. While
you, waste our air, pollute our politics, and lie your conniving and ugly and
slowly deteriorating face off.

Go fuck yourself. Better yet, prepare for the swiftboating we're about to do to you!

Please crawl under a rock and die. You know nothing about war, you know nothing about this insane occupation, all you know is lies, smears and absolute BULLSHIT. The Bush "administration" is packed from top to bottom with the most pathetic collection of draft dodging/deserting cowards ever assembled in one place, and the fact you lowlife scum actually think ANYONE would beleive in these men anymore is laughable. Truth hurts, doesnt it, you fucking freaks? You are DONE. The rock awaits, scum.

So much for civility.

The New York Times at War With America

Here is another oponion piece on the how the NY Times is putting the lives of all Americans at risk. Michael Barone takes the NY Times to task in his opinion piece. I will post the last two paragraphs of his piece and then a link to the salf serving and overly officious answer to e-mails from Bill Keller.

"The counterargument is that it is a dangerous business for the government to prosecute the press. But it certainly is in order to prosecute government officials who have abused their trust by disclosing secrets, especially when those disclosures have reduced the government's ability to keep us safe. And pursuit of those charges would probably require reporters to disclose the names of those sources. As the Times found out in the Judith Miller case, reporters who refuse to answer such questions can go to jail.

Why do they hate us? Why does the Times print stories that put America more at risk of attack? They say that these surveillance programs are subject to abuse, but give no reason to believe that this concern is anything but theoretical. We have a press that is at war with an administration, while our country is at war against merciless enemies. The Times is acting like an adolescent kicking the shins of its parents, hoping to make them hurt while confident of remaining safe under their roof. But how safe will we remain when our protection depends on the Times?"

This is a link to Bill Keller's defense on printing this. Keller is obviously blinded by his hatred of the Bush Administration and does not give a rat's ass as to how he places us all in greater danger. - Sailor

In Rememberance

This past Monday I received the sad news that a dear friend of mine passed away at the all too young age of 44. To Jerry's family and especially to the love of his life, Kathi, I wish to convery my deepest sympathies for your loss. Jerry was a good and close friend and some one I respected greatly. I said this morning and I will say it again, Jerry has not left us, he has merely moved on. Rest in peace my friend and know you were loved and respected. Go Sooners! - Sailor

NY Times Gives Away Secrets to Terrorists

What is it with the NY Times? Are they so blinded by their hatred of the President that they willing put all of us in jeopardy? Revealing the secret and legal program of sifting through bank records in an attempt to smoke out those financing terrorists, the NYT has put us all in greater danger. It is time that there was a crackdown on these intelligence leaks. this is not a whistle blower, whom ever leaked this information is a traitor and should be dealt with accordingly. The reporter involved should have their carcass tossed in jail until they reveal their source.This is not about freedom of the press, this is about an irrespomsible press, willing to go to any lengths to promote their own agenda. No wonder the Times is losing readership

Here are some snippets from a Washington Times editorial on this issue.

"Once more the spoiler. Despite the earnest persuasion of the White House to preserve a useful weapon in the war against the terrorists, the New York Times has revealed the workings of a covert surveillance program, indisputably within the law, to use administrative subpoenas to examine, through a Belgian financial consortium known by the acronym SWIFT, the financing of international terrorism. Once the story was out, the Los Angeles Times and Wall Street Journal covered it as well. Now the program is damaged, perhaps severely so, and the financing of terror is harder to track. This is another unnecessary leak, six months after the New York Times revealed a secret National Security Agency terrorist surveillance program.

In its earlier scoop, the New York Times could reasonably argue legal uncertainty. Not this time. The Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Miller in 1976 that no right to privacy attaches to the type of third-party financial-transaction information SWIFT has provided to the Treasury Department. The Right to Financial Privacy Act, enacted by Congress in 1978 in the wake of United States v. Miller, allows just the administrative subpoenas Treasury has been using. So does the Patriot Act. The SWIFT transactions that Treasury has been examining are international in nature. The searches are specifically targeted at suspected or known terrorists, a "sharp harpoon aimed at the heart of terrorist activity," as Treasury Secretary John Snow puts it. The claim that the rights of American citizens are infringed is irrational, unduly partisan, or both."

The Times was absolutely irresponsible here. This is a legal program. Unfortunately the editors of the Times have no problem putting us all in danger if it meests their agenda to do so. Shame on the Times. They have no ethics what so ever. - Sailor

Remind Me: Who Are the Bad Guys Again?
Written by Doc Farmer
Wednesday, June 21, 2006


I'm a bit ticked off today. Yeah, I know; that seems to be the normal state of affairs for a columnist/commentator/curmudgeon.
But I believe that my ticked-ness is more than justified.

Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, of Houston Texas, and Pfc. Thomas L. Tucker, 25, of Madras Oregon, were kidnapped by Al Qaeda operatives the other day. Not captured in battle and taken to a prisoner of war camp. The driver in their convoy was killed, and they were taken at gunpoint to an unknown location.

They were definitely tortured.

They may have been disemboweled.

They were almost certainly beheaded.

Their bodies were dumped and the area surrounding them was booby-trapped, in the hope of killing more US/Coalition troops.

Now, let me ask you a very simple question: Where is the outrage on the part of the media? Why haven't we seen photo after photo of their corpses on the news? Why haven't the editors over at the vaunted New York Times started publishing a steady stream of cover stories--complete with graphic images at a wide variety of angles--to be continued every
single day over the next two months? Where are the demands for inspections of Al Qaeda detention facilities? Why haven't there been calls for investigations of the practices of these terrorists? Why hasn't Jack Murtha (D-JackA**Ville) demanded that the heads of Al Qaeda (with or without their bodies attached) be brought before a congressional committee?

Because Al Qaeda, to the lib/dem/soc/commies, the peace-activists (see also: morons), the mainstream media, and the political portsiders have already decided who the bad guy is.

Bush.

Yup, that's right. The MSM and their cohorts could waste NO time trying to figure out ways to blame Dubya for the death of these two servicemen. I guess constantly (and gleefully) yelling "2,500 Dead! 2,500 Dead!" wasn't getting them enough attention. They've even shopped around and found an uncle of
one of these soldiers so they could get their "Let's All Blame Bush" sound-byte. From Mother Sheehan to Father Pearl to (now) Uncle Mario. I wonder if he'll camp out in a Crawford ditch or hug South American dictators to keep up his facetime in the various news outlets.

The mainstream media won't be overly bothered with the facts. God knows, they haven't let the truth get in the way of a good story (in their eyes, anyway) for quite some time. So, they'll use these two heroes to advance their point.

Yes. Heroes. Like every single soldier, sailor, airman, marine, guardsman, and merchant marine out there today. The Mainstream Media will USE them to put forward THEIR agenda: we're bad, terrorists are good, and the soldiers
wouldn't have been put in danger in the first place were it not for Dubya.

Note to the Mainstream Media, lib/dem/soc/commies and turncoat politicians: You bastards!

I am sick to the back teeth of you, your lies, your half-truths, your mis-directions, your obfuscations, your spin, your (im)moral relativism, your arrogance. I'm sick of you USING our troops--especially the dead ones--in order for YOU to claw back power, and at the same time to empower and embolden our enemies.

There was a discussion on the ChronWatch Forum recently, asking whether
journalists have to abide by any kind of a code of ethics. My view on that was similar to my view on the extended lists of oxymorons--House Ethics, Senate Ethics, F*****g Lawyer Ethics, etc. They claim to have ethical guidelines, they say the words, but words alone are not evidence of ethics. Following those words, living those words, ARE evidence of ethics--or, at least, ethical behavior. One of our more well-informed posters, who goes by the moniker of "CodeMoose" (he's obviously a programmer with antlers--I wonder if his boss is a flying squirrel) actually provided a list, from a group called the "Society of Professional Journalists." You can read it here. The point is, if you go through that list, and think of the recent history of the mainstream media, I
don't think you'll find ONE ethical standard that they've followed. But it's Bush and the rep/con/tairs who are evil and corrupt, and the MSM isn't biased, oh no no no no no....

Let me give you a couple of points to work with here. The people responsible for the death of those soldiers, and the other soldiers and innocents, who have died before them, ARE THE TERRORISTS! Not the other soldiers, not their field commanders, and not their commander in chief. We are WINNING the war against terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan, while you in the MSM are doing everything possible to make us LOSE the war against terrorism in the headlines and the
broadcasts. The number of dead terrorists (which you never seem to tout) is FAR higher than the number of dead soldiers. This is one of the lowest per-capita and raw-number casualty wars for U.S. forces in history, but you're bent on making it seem like the highest. Here's a news flash, MSM: more U.S. soldiers died in a TRAINING EXERCISE for D-Day--in a single day--than have died in Iraq and Afghanistan.

You talk about being unbiased. You lie. You are extremely biased. Yet you lie to us and yourselves about this obvious -- and documented -- truth. You constantly try to make Iraq another Vietnam. Why? Because YOU guys won the Vietnam War. America lost, but YOU won. So what if over 3 million innocents were slaughtered
because we were forced out of South East Asia by the media, huh? WE -- America -- were the bad guys, after all. How many more will need to be sacrificed at the alter of lib/dem/soc/commie beliefs and Blame America First doctrines? And will it bother you if/when an American city is nuked, gassed or otherwise WMD'd by your terrorist compatriots?

Naw, you'll just blame Bush.

We are in the midst of a war. A war not of our choosing. A war brought to our shores by men who have corrupted an entire religion in order to develop their thirst for power, blood, and attention. Instead of focusing on how the United States should treat terrorists like soldiers and give them full Genève Convention status, perhaps you should focus on how closely the terrorists are following those doctrines of war (see also: not at
all). Instead of posting photos of near-naked terrorists with panties on their heads, perhaps you should post the photos of the slaughtered remains of those two soldiers after they had been tortured--REALLY tortured. Instead of publishing the photos of the head of Al Zarqawi and wondering if he had been beaten, or if we possibly harmed any innocents when we dropped two 500-pound bombs on his not-so-safe house, perhaps you should publish the photos of Daniel Pearl's head. His severed head. As well as the video of Zarqawi SAWING his head off.

And then, you can come back and tell America who the real enemy is.

Besides yourselves, that is.
