Just thought I'd throw this in here... I'm suprised that this was on the MSN home page this morning. Is there any more reason to close up the borders and pay attention to who is trying to get here from parts south??
Bad guys are coming to get us... and it seems to be going un-noticed by the MSM and the general populace. Sometimes I'm very afraid for my kids and their kid's kids. What will this world be like in another 50 years?
So I am flicking around the channels last night and briefly catch a documentary of the 1979 No Nukes concerts organized by MUSE, or Musicians United for Safe Energy. Five days of concerts in New York City at Madison Square Garden. Interviews with some of the participants now about the build up to the shows. The common theme was the anti-war hippies from the 1960's had gathered for another cause, in this case, halting all nuclear power and the building of any new nuclear power plants, especially after 3 Mile Island. They were bragging about how they stopped it all and saved humankind.
Got me thinking. Suppose they didn't halt nuclear production. What would our energy situation be today, 28 years later? I would think that in 28 years time we would have perfected and continued to harness nuclear power. Imagine all the safe new nuclear power plants all over the country providing power to homes and businesses. Imagine a drastically reduced demand for oil, and how different history might have been over the past 28 years.
And many of those same hippy leftovers are speaking out today on our dependence on oil and against the war. Let's hope we learned our lesson and don't listen to them this time.
Anyone see that the 2 men in England were convicted of leaking info on classified material on Iraq war. Bet we won't hear it here! We've got plenty that should be brought up on same charges!
Speaking of Pelosi, I see where she is mouthing about suing the President over the Iraq funding bill. Anyone ever hear of anything more stupid that this?
RE: Sharpton is a fraud - all of a sudden this is news? When will the rest of the msm (Lsm) start looking at herthighness, algore, breckgirl, palooney, running reid and company? Could this be the start of "reporting" as it should be? Hope does spring eternal.

Illegal immigration has been addressed in the state of Oklahoma...
"The bill, which takes effect Nov. 1, would set criminal penalties for knowingly and willingly harboring illegal immigrants. No public benefits would be allowed to people in the state illegally, except in cases of medical emergencies or emergency aid. Businesses would need to run all workers through a federal verification system or risk penalties and legal action. "
"The legislation also would cut off in-state tuition for illegal immigrant students unless they can verify they have applied for citizenship or plan to within one year. Some say that could cut off most illegal students from in-state tuition because once a student enters the country illegally, it is almost impossible to become a legal citizen. "
There are some Americans still fighting to keep America free and legal. And we are in Oklahoma.
FastEd, I saw that. Dont think it is only NJ tho. We have those here that would do the same in the name of being PC. I just think it is a mighty poor reason to allow murder. Ya gotta jump up and down and scream real loud. Our governer is a dem. But we had the votes to over ride a veto, easily. Or he wouldent have signed it last night. Goes to show, scream loud enough, kick and jump up and down for a bit, beat on some doors and even a dem gets the message.
BLITZER: Yes. She had a lovely time here in Washington, and all of us were very happy she was here.
I'm going to leave you on this note, because I know you have some thoughts on this subject. I don't know if you can see it here, but we're going to show you the president, that moment when he was dancing at the White House. You've seen it many times.
What do you think about the president -- it was for a good cause, obviously, but he really -- he really let himself go.
All right. You want to comment on that, Bill?
MAHER: Well, of course, I can't see it sitting here in my office in Hollywood, but I think I do remember what you are talking about.
You know, I don't think Jay-Z has to look over his shoulder because George Bush is coming up in the rearview mirror, but, you know, presidents, world leaders are often from time to time thrust into these kinds of situations where they have to make a fool of themselves for some reason. And I don't know why that is.
I don't -- I don't remember seeing a lot of other world leaders have to do that. There's something in the American character that wants to see our leaders humiliated from time to time, debased, especially when they are running.
I mean, they are always flipping hamburgers, or, you know, they constantly are getting out of a limousine and walking 10 feet, and then milking a cow or something. You know, I just hope that when we go to the polls next time, that we understand that we conducted a grand experiment the last eight years with George Bush. We elected a guy we wanted to have a beer with, a guy who was one of us, and maybe we need somebody who's better than us, you know?
"Elite" is not a bad word. Let's find an elite candidate, not one of us.
Hilarious video that shows how cheesy the writing and acting is on CSI: Miami. Even if you don't even watch the show, it's a hilarious video that will have you in laughing out loud!! Notice how often Caruso takes off and puts on his sunglasses in each scene, and how he steps out of frame after each line not waiting around for a retort or reply. So funny! So cheesy!
If you liked that video above, then you'll love this clip of Jim Carrey on Letterman wherein he imitates Caruso's acting style in hilarious fashion!
----------------------------------- Oh, um, it's Thursday, but Dwight thinks it's Friday. So...keep that going. ~ From "The Office"
Yes, I heard the clip today (either Rush or Laura's show). The double standard is just appalling. Did you hear John Podhoretz , NY Post, ( Laura Ingraham today) say that it is very likely that Hillary will be our next President. Laura didn't even challenge him on that statement. It was if she didn't even hear him. I don't get it...how could anyone know this far out from an election who was going to win.
You really have to read this to get all the connections, this is just unbelievable and despicable that the media has not picked up on this story...I am furious.
They report on Wolfowitz and the WB enough....read what is really behind this so-called scandal and all the connections involved with Kofi, Oil-for-Food ect....
GEORGE SOROS!
This is incredible...I have been keeping up with this story all along, but this is the first I have heard about any of this!
I just read on Foxnews.com about retired Maj. General John Batiste, coming out against the handling of Iraq. He says:
"Mr. President, you did not listen. You continue to pursue a failed strategy that is breaking our great Army and Marine Corps. I left the Army in protest in order to speak out. Mr. President, you have placed our nation in peril. Our only hope is that Congress will act now to protect our fighting men and women." He is backed by a group called, VoteVets.org
I am not familiar with military protocol, but it seems very disturbing to me. Someone with more knowledge on these matters fill me in. What would motivate someone of his caliber to say such things at this time?
Why should I post my rationale? I've never said either of those things. I don't feel that I should have to provide a rationale for two statements that I don't agree with. How about your post your rationale for this bizarre episode of weirdness.
I have replied back to him the following:
Major General Batiste made both logic statements in the argument you said you supported as TRUE and reflecting the current situation...
Therefore, if you still stand by your comment, I am asking you to back both of those statements up using fact and logic rather than emotion.
Please post your response back on the Open Page for further review.
BD, Leon's message reminds me of another leftist poster named hater (they may be the same person, but I don't really care) who said something to the effect of: "I post whatever I feel like posting at the moment. It doesn't necessarily have to be true."
I was merely speculating as to what his motivation was. He believes it to be true and I suppose to some degree I agree, although not entirely.
For instance, I wouldn't say that we're losing the war in Iraq, we're just not winning and I nobody seems to know what victory is anyways.
2) isn't it clear that our military is stretched thin? All one needs to look at is the number of multiple deployments and the extension of time for these deployments. It's clear as day.
1.) I would say that control of a population in 85% of a nation exists as a victory if over time you can slowly change the mores of the population and lure it from Islamo Fascism. That is victory. From all indicators we are effecting that change, if we are receiving casualteis along the way, it is just a signal of the old "Truism" that in all wars, the enemy gets a vote as well.
Not quick, but then I do not particularly like fast food either.
2.) Not so clear to me. In WWII the 34th Infantry Division of the Minnesota/Iowa National Guard left US shores for Europe in the Spring of 1942. THey did not return home until essentially 1946. During this time period they suffered 16,401 Casualties, approximately 1/3 of them being killed in action.
Yet, no one would assess that the US military during that time period was broken.
So why would the US military be "Broken" today when USMC tours are limited to six months int eh Combat zone at a time, and US forces have spent significantly less time in the combat zone, at lower levels of action with fewer casualties.
It is not the US military that is breaking. But liberals support to the US military that is cracking. They would much prefer to be able to go back tot he good old days of bad-mouthing soldiers....
Batiste is not allowed, by UCMJ protocols, to speak out against the President on a public level. In addition, he is not allowed to get involved in political matters, while an active member of the military. This is the reason he resigned his commission. Someone, like Leon, doesn't grasp the concept that just because one general, or a handful of generals, think the wrong direction is being taken in Iraq, there are far more that feel it is the proper direction. Someone, like Leon, doesn't grasp that concept that Bush is not directing the war in Iraq, he is leaving that to his generals. Someone, like Leon, doesn't understand that the Army and Marine Corps is in no danger of "breaking", and has no evidence of this. The evidence I have to the contrary is simply the recruiting and retention numbers, which are consistantly up.
You have to understand msh -- the military, like civilian life, has Democrats and Republicans, though Republican voters are much greater in number. The media, of all sides, will trumpet the one or two that come out against the president, but will ignore those that support him. The reasoning is because they feel, "What's the point?" Why bother to report that most of the military supports the president, it doesn't fit their mold that he is somehow incompetent.
No -- when you get right down to it, letting your generals make the decisions, and not forcing your own opinions on them, is something the liberals just don't get.
"Stop global warming! Asphyxiate a liberal!" - Show us how far you're willing to go to stop "global warming"
Thanks for the education. You explained that very well. Of course the msm just love all these ex-generals who are against the war. Shameful behavior I think.
I got what was supposed to be a funny email from a liberal friend today with the subject line: this should explain what happened
I just have to share it and my response to it! The original email:
Many will recall that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claimed that an
unidentified object with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep ranch
just
outside Roswell, New Mexico.
This is a well-known incident that many say has long been covered up by
the
U.S. Air Force and the US government.
However, you may NOT know that in the month of March 1948, exactly nine
months after that historic day, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald
Rumsfield, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Condolezza Rice, and Dan
Quyale
were all born.
See what happens when aliens breed with sheep?
This piece of information may clear up a lot of things
My response follows:
George W. Bush was born July 6, 1946.
Dick Cheney was born January 30, 1941
Donald Rumsfeld was born July 9, 1932
Bill O'Reilly was born September 10, 1949 (Now that would have to have been a REALLY long gestation!)
Rush Limbaugh was born January 12, 1951 (Is there a pattern developing?)
Condolezza Rice was born November 14, 1954 (An even longer one!)
Dan Quayle was born Feb. 4, 1947
It is said that all humor has an element of truth to it......SO
Albert Arnold "Al" Gore, Jr., former Vice-President of the United States, former US Senator, son of a segregationist US Senator who voted against the Civil Rights Act, and Savior of our fragile planet was born March, 31, 1948!!!
So, that's why he's always trying to ram his fuzzy ideas down our throats. His constant bleating is very annoying, and you can bet his methane output is part of the problem. I'm now wondering who's eyes he might pull the wool over?
And, yeah, he was a baaaaaad VP!
There is no sense in being stupid, if you can't prove it! - my dadV
Clinton's favorite "General", Wesley Clark, just made a total arse out of himself on teevee in an interview with Bill O'Reilly (Wes is a Fox news contributor).
Watching Clark Bar trying to defend Soros (whom he took money from) was a classic, as was his hallucinogenic response when Bill asked him if Soros was a leftist. Be sure to catch the repeats (it starts 13 or so minutes into the hour).

Thanks for the education. You explained that very well. Of course the msm just love all these ex-generals who are against the war. Shameful behavior I think.
this should explain what happened
May 9, 2007 - 16:42 ET by DilbertI got what was supposed to be a funny email from a liberal friend today with the subject line: this should explain what happened
I just have to share it and my response to it! The original email:
Many will recall that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claimed that an
unidentified object with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep ranch
just
outside Roswell, New Mexico.
This is a well-known incident that many say has long been covered up by
the
U.S. Air Force and the US government.
However, you may NOT know that in the month of March 1948, exactly nine
months after that historic day, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald
Rumsfield, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Condolezza Rice, and Dan
Quyale
were all born.
See what happens when aliens breed with sheep?
This piece of information may clear up a lot of things
My response follows:
George W. Bush was born July 6, 1946.
Dick Cheney was born January 30, 1941
Donald Rumsfeld was born July 9, 1932
Bill O'Reilly was born September 10, 1949 (Now that would have to have been a REALLY long gestation!)
Rush Limbaugh was born January 12, 1951 (Is there a pattern developing?)
Condolezza Rice was born November 14, 1954 (An even longer one!)
Dan Quayle was born Feb. 4, 1947
It is said that all humor has an element of truth to it......SO
Albert Arnold "Al" Gore, Jr., former Vice-President of the United States, former US Senator, son of a segregationist US Senator who voted against the Civil Rights Act, and Savior of our fragile planet was born March, 31, 1948!!!
Liberals just don't do their homework!
Al Gore is an alien!
May 9, 2007 - 16:48 ET by RJAl Gore is an alien! I knew it!
Half sheep, half Alien :-)

An excellent response to your liberal friend. I may have to borrow both.

May 9, 2007 - 19:08 ET by FastEdSo, that's why he's always trying to ram his fuzzy ideas down our throats. His constant bleating is very annoying, and you can bet his methane output is part of the problem. I'm now wondering who's eyes he might pull the wool over?
And, yeah, he was a baaaaaad VP!

May 9, 2007 - 19:21 ET by Del DolemonteClinton's favorite "General", Wesley Clark, just made a total arse out of himself on teevee in an interview with Bill O'Reilly (Wes is a Fox news contributor).
Watching Clark Bar trying to defend Soros (whom he took money from) was a classic, as was his hallucinogenic response when Bill asked him if Soros was a leftist. Be sure to catch the repeats (it starts 13 or so minutes into the hour).
