Just a word on the Spitzer deal before we move on....I just caught a bit of Neil Cavuto on Fox...he had 4 people talking about it.

Only one guy was condemning Spitzer: he said a leader gets privileges and with it goes responsibility. The rest (including a woman) said we have more important things to worry about.

But I was most disappointed in Ben Stein, who I thought was a pretty level-headed guy. He used the "he who is without sin cast the first stone" argument, and said we are all sinners.

OK, Ben, so I guess all standards go out the window. Since none of us are perfect, no one can criticize anyone else...so much for prosecuting lawbreakers too, if only the perfect can judge anyone else.

I just love seeing the Democrat leadership hoist on their own petard.

The democrats will win the White House this year and win big. Look at what they have going for them:

Black vote, it's a lock no matter who the party picks as candidate, as long as it's not Bush.

The bubble head vote (this includes most youths), all bubble heads vote democrat all the time.

The 'I want' vote, all the people who want a nanny will vote democrat.

Criminals and the recently deceased vote, happens every year. 

Maybe the biggest thing the democrats have going for them is the Republican National Commitee, they have grown balls of marshmallow and a spine of jello recently and will not fight or stand up for their own anymore.

Dog whisperer Cesar Millan had his hands full with a bulldog.  Or, more correctly, a bulldog had a mouthful of Cesar's hand.  So teased the video at the beginning of the Dog Whisperer last night. 

In explaining the method of correcting the dog's harmful behavior Cesar stated (paraphrasing) that the dog hadn't become this way overnight and similarly it would take a great deal of time and patience to correct the dog's bad behavior.  Long hard slog came immediately to my mind.  And not surprisingly, the family of the dog were shown to have encouraged this bad behavior by their seemingly innocent actions so the family would have to adjust their behavior for the dog's benefit as well.

First things first.  Cesar would have to gain control of the dog.  Cesar explained that once the dog could be controlled the warrior dog would have to learn to become simply a dog again, not the warrior he once was.  When the warrior dog finally got in that workable dog state of mind it would take months and months of patient and consistent follow-up effort by the dog's family to get the dog to be able to interact civil with other dogs and people.  And as always the case in a Cesar episode, the family of the dog was critical in the correction of the dog's behavior.

This got me to thinking about the harmful behavior demonstrated over the many years by radical Islam and the seemingly innocent way the larger family in the world responded to that behavior.

Just as it took many years of practicing bad behavior by radical Islamists to become the warrior dog, it will equally take many years to correct this bad behavior.  Just as it took Cesar placing a choke collar on the dog to get control of the dog before he could begin to correct the dog's behavior, Western Coalition forces have put a choke collar on radical Islamists in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.

Based on no recurring terrorist attacks on American soil post 9/11, greatly reduced violence in Iraq (an actual reason to hope) and with the numbers of Taliban being daily reduced on the battlefields of Afghanistan, it would appear the Coalition is gaining control of the warrior of radical Islam.  The choke collar did its job.  On to the next step.

Like Cesar and the dog's family correcting the behavior of the warrior dog after first gaining control, the next step in humanizing radical Islam will require the rest of our extended world family dedicate time and patience to fully change the warrior of radical Islam back into the human.

But as America and much of the rest of the world's family is moving ever closer to gaining control of the radical Islamist warrior there seems to be some in America's family that wish to stop the correcting of warrior behavior before the job is completely accomplished.  These slackers prefer to cut and run.  They wish to deviate from spending the necessary time to fully change the warrior into a cooperative member of the larger family - a human.

Democrats don't want to spend the time required to correct the behavior.  They want to pull out of Iraq before the warrior has completely transformed back into the human.  Cesar tells us that each member of the family must be a pack leader, yet it is clear the Democrats want to shirk that responsibility which slows if not prevents the radical Islamic warrior from becoming the human.  Even worse, most Democrats want to take away the tools available to the family to correct the Islamist radical such as expedited wire taps without threat of lawsuits to cooperating phone companies.

As Cesar pointed out, the bulldog wasn't happy in the warrior state of mind always at conflict with the rest of the family.  Neither do I believe the Iraqis were happy always at conflict under a Saddam warrior state of mind.  But now that the Iraqis have been freed from the Saddam state of mind, it is as if the Democrats want to quit in the middle of the training.  It apears the Democrats don't want to spend the remaining time required in Iraq to correct the bad behavior.  Amazingly, it even seems the Democrats are quite satisfied to allow radical Islam to remain the warrior instead of the human most would probably like to become if given the opportunity.  At the end of The Dog Whisperer episode, the bulldog certainly seemed to be happier just being the dog. 

If or when the dog of radical Islam bites again, who do we blame.  The dog or the Democrat family that gave up on the dog?   If the Democrats don't want to be good pack leaders, we can't expect the warrior to become simply the human.

On the ABC News web page, there was (as of 2:40pm Saturday) a curious list in the "Must Read" section. These were the items listed:

• Mukasey Would Spare Alleged 9/11 Plotters

• Pol Rants Being Gay Worse Than Terrorism

• Wealth and Fame for Spitzer Call Girl

• Vampire Cult, 'Lesbian Killers' to Prison

For those who haven't followed the story, the "Pol Rants..." item refers to an Oklahoma state representative who basically said that the gay agenda is dangerous, and for that, she has received death threats. Within the story, a spokesperson for the gay lobby claimed that "Her comments are so inappropriate and beyond the pale that she's demonstrated that she's not fit for service in public office..."

And yet, in the fourth item on ABC's list, there is a reference to two young girls in Australia who tortured and murdered a third girl, apparently out of lesbian jealousy. The killers admitted that they were sexually turned on during the murder, and wished they had consummated their lust with each other.

I just thought, jeez, if you want to portray the Oklahoma representative as a backward lunatic, you shouldn't post a story about lesbian killers ... it steps on the message, you know?

This is a black preacher (Manning) railing against Obama, the Clintoon's are both mentioned to along with Mexicans, affirmative action, the black race, pimp(s) ect.

Let me tell you something if this was any white preacher saying all of this about a Presidential candidate, especially Obama, it would be news 24/7..but since the man is black the msm has ignored this.

I just found it very interesting....if you have time to kill for a bit you may want to listen to it.
