Use Electricity: Don’t Watch GMA

ABC’s weatherman, Sam Champion, continued his crusade to get every American to adopt liberal environmental polices. While standing in front of a massive bank of televisions, he lectured viewers on their contribution to global warming: "If you think you have nothing to do with global warming, think again. From the car you drive, to the house you live in, it all contributes to the problem."

"Recycle Our Way to Victory!"

New York Times columnist Tom Friedman appeared on the "Today" show to announce that America’s best shot at winning the war on terrorism is by going green. NBC, of course, promoted the segment as "save energy, save the world."

"Catholics Need Not Apply"

Each week, "The View’s" Rosie O’Donnell seems to come up with new and more outrageous comments. On Thursday’s show, while discussing the recent Supreme Court decision upholding the partial birth abortion ban, O’Donnell fretted about the large number of Catholics on the Court. Yes, really. Earlier in the week, "View" guest Bill Maher asserted that all those church-going old ladies are enabling religious violence. Aren’t tolerant liberals wonderful?

Why Are You So Wrong?

In light of Monday’s tragedy at Virginia Tech, the media predictably played up the need for more gun control. On the "Early Show," CBS anchor Maggie Rodriguez grilled the gun rights expert and offered softballs, such as "What do you think about that?" to the gun control advocate.

Why is anyone surprised at any comments the liberals make?? Its expected as far as I'm concerned. I expected the liberals to "cut and run". I expect the liberal to want to kill more babies. I expect the liberals to take away our right to have guns. I'm not mad at the liberals, their behavior is expected.......I'm mad at the republicans, the conservitives, the moderate democrats, the christians that didn't vote in the last election. Well, they really showed President Bush didn't they?? You get what you voted for or didn't vote for. Try looking at the BIG picture in the 2008 election. Do you really want these people in power? More abortions, more gun control, more "free speech"? as long as it benifits the libs?? more tax hikes, bigger government?? I DON'T!! The republican do have their problems, but not like the democrats...You people better wake up....

New York Times columnist Tom

New York Times columnist Tom Friedman appeared on the "Today" show to announce that America’s best shot at winning the war on terrorism is by going green.

Someone, anyone really needs to recommend that Friedman be sent to get mental help immediately....I mean immediately.

Danger to a normal society indeed!
