A wonderful bit of writing today from Boortz; here’s a part:

Do these Democrats recognize that they are in fact giving aid and comfort to the enemy with their campaign tactics?  Of course they do.  They know full well that Islamic terrorist leaders are licking their beards at the prospect of another Democrat in the White House.  Democrats see this as a price America should pay to have Democrats regain their rightful place in the seat of power.  The Islamic terrorist leaders understand the Democratic culture, even if many American voters don’t.  They experienced it for eight years with Bill Clinton as president.  During those eight years it was a lot of words and a few cruise missiles, but little else from America.  Bill Clinton wouldn’t even take bin Laden when he was offered up on a silver platter!  Why would the terrorists think it would be any different under Dean, Kerry, Edwards or Clark?

He goes on from there. Worth a read.

About time… They’re going to press charges in Boston. Here’s the story.  I wonder how Seleg will spin this. Or will he simply ignore it?

‘The reaction of the world shows that they [Jews] do control the world’…

What an idiot.
But just for laughs, let’s assume what he says is true. What advantage would there be to saying this? What would be the purpose? Why complain about it? The easiest conclusion to reach is that he wants Muslims to control the world. Fastest way to accomplish that is to remove those currently in power. Fastest way I can think of to do that is to play the guilt card.  It’s amazingly similar to the tactics used by American Leftists.

Interesting news from the campaign trail; Congressman Richard Gephardt who has made a lot of noise about calling President Bush a “miserable failure,” has decided to back the $87B Iraq aid package.

“I will support the $87 billion supplemental request because it is the only responsible course of action,” Gephardt said while campaigning in Iowa. “We must not send an ambiguous message to our troops and we must not send an uncertain message to our friends and enemies in Iraq. We cannot leave Iraq like we did Afghanistan in the 1980s to become a breeding ground for terrorism and home for terrorist training camps. It is critical that the United States and the world succeed in this effort and bring our operations in Iraq to a successful conclusion.”

He of course has nothing to lose, here, being so far back in the polls. Yet, it appears he’s just doomed his chances to be nominated….

I’ve found an interesting device to shut up those who claim we should have let the UN deal with Saddam, by means of rule of law. Most of these nutcases, don’t like the idea of having to fight to get to the goal. We should, in the view of these idiots, be all meek as mice, and not raised a hand to Saddam, or anyone else for that matter.

The answer is simply to remind them of a few facts:

Rule 1: People die on swords
Rule 2: Those without swords can and do still die on them
Rule 3: “Rule of law” does nothing to change the first two rules
Rule 4: Even Law requires swords for it’s enforcement

Finally, remind them that President Bush was upholding the rule of law, as laid out in Resolution 1441.

Saxby Chamblis has now stated what I’ve been saying since the Kay report was issued; The media’s been ignoring the facts.

“Recently, I sat in a closed session of the Senate Intelligence Committee and listened to David Kay describe his preliminary findings on Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction programs.

When I later read his very detailed declassified summary, I expected to wake up the next morning to a flurry of media reports about how far-reaching Iraq’s banned programs had progressed and how the French and Germans were going to have to eat some crow.

Instead, I woke up to a very different kind of media frenzy. I saw such headlines as “No evidence of Iraq WMD programs found,” which by any objective standard is an untrue statement.”

Here’s whis whole commentary as it ran in the Atlanta Journal

Noted, during my usual travels today…
The lack of leftist condemnation for Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad’s comments about ‘Jews Ruling the world’ and a distinct lack of their praise for President George W Bush’s saying so to him.

Now why the lack of comments on this, I wonder, from the left? Could it be that they agree with Mahathir Mohamad?

If not, why not come out and SAY they disagree? Is agreement with the President so very hard for them, even when he’s unarguably right?

Or is it a combo of these factors?

And that’s just the American left. What of the French, and the rest of the EU?

And of course, let’s remember the Muslims, themselves… one of which says:

“As Muslims, we salute the brave stand our great president took against the intimidation of the jewish killers and their american slaves, we also salute the Greek Prime minister who stood with him in their stand against HYPOCRISY, it is ok to bash Islam and Muslims by the jews through their control of the world media but it is not ok for muslims to state the obvious…this is sickning hypocrisy which only BRAVE GREAT leaders such as ours can stand and defeat….LONG LIVE CHIRAC.”

Sounds like the DNC’s TALKING POINTS doesn’t it?

Well, it’s looking like I’m not the only one who finds the current series a yawner.
Drudge is reporting a 15 share for the 2nd game. This is much lower than we’d have seen, for say, a Cubbies/Bosox series.

The message to the Broadcasters and to MLB is quite clear: The Yankees are bad for business.
But MLB won’t listen…. Steinbrenner has far too much hold on MLB. (If that wasn’t the case, explain to me how he’s there at all.. Anyone else would have been removed from baseball ownership altogether, not simply suspended, for his infractions!!!)

And the Broadcasters don’t have a choice; they’re forced to eat what MLB feeds them. And we the fans, on the bottom of this multi-level outhouse…. well, you get the idea.  Do I sound annoyed? Good, it’s what I intend.

This monopoly by the NY thugs is killing baseball. You think otherwise? Tell the Brewers. Tell the Twins. Tell the Indians. Tell the Giants. Tell the ‘Jays… And, Tell the Expos. See what THEY have to say in the matter.

Explain to me how their team not having a chance in hell of winning, before the season even begins, doesn’t effect the team’s attendance figures, and so their bottom line, and thereby the future of baseball itself.

Steinbrenner has established he can buy enough mercenaries to get the job done. Is that the entire game? Well, I guess we’ve established it is, today. But I suppose the question then, is, SHOULD it be? The answer, for my part is ‘no’.

Are you listening, Mr. Seleg?

While researching the bit about Mike Hudson, I stumbled over a point I’d forgotten; Howard Dean is an alcoholic.
Aside from saying, I’m pleased he’s winning his ongoing battle, I have only one comment;

Why are so many leftists fixated on President Bush’s being so afflicted, and yet they say nothing whatever about Howard Dean?

So says a Niagara Falls tabloid owner. The paper, the Niagara Falls reporter, a paper known for it’s left-leaning, apparently printed an editorial (In reality it prints little else) in which the paper’s owner, one Mike Hudson, wrote in a reply to a reader, that “I hope that bastard gets over his addiction and dies from cancer of the balls.”

Apparently, Hudson was interviewed by WABC on Sunday and asked to explain himself. The reported response was that he was simply doing as Limbaugh would do… and cited Jerry Garcia and Kurt Cobain. Hudson, you see, hasn’t figured out there’s a difference between the so-called recreational drugs and something prescribed for pain.

In any event, when pressed for an example of someone Limbaugh had wished dead, Hudson was unable to reply.
This is just a small time leftist, running his smear rag and trying to drum up sales.

Hey, Mike; I’ve got a suggestion for ya; if sales are the issue, how about printing actual news? What I see in your paper doesn’t qualify.

Editors note: After the fact, I’ve been given the editorial written by the WABC host who interviewed this slimeball.
You’ll find it of interest.

Ex California Govenor Grey-Out Davis apparently appoints poet laureates on a questionable basis as well. Seems his most recent appointment has resigned after it was discovered that he’s forged his reume. Full Story.

The Iowa Democratic Party’s annual Jefferson-Jackson Dinner is the venue, and is designed for the Democrat candidates to push themselves. So what is Hillary doing there?

Gearing up for a last minute run?

After some serious consideration, I’ve come to the conclusion that I should fall in behind President Bush’s election. As such, you will notice on the upper right of this blog, a link to the BushBlog.

This is not an idle choice, nor is it an obvious one.

Anyone who knows me well, or has read this blog for any length of time, knows I am a registered independent, and not a member of the Republican party. And, the president and I do have some serious disagreements, which I have chronicled here in the past.

Yet, in looking at the field of people running, I can find no person with the qualities needed to run the country who has a shot at winning, and thereby defeating the Democrats, none of which belongs inside the loop, much less inside the White House, that George W. Bush has.

Regardless of the disagreements I have with the man, President Bush has done what No Democrat in the last 30 years has done… he has shown himself worthy of the position of President, So, The Presdient has my vote, my endorsement, and space on my Web Page, and on my Blog.

Aha…. so I was right about this. As I said, this is election fraud related, but apparently, more as well. A reader recently reminded me of his 1999 statement that “people who gave to his campaign would have a better chance to win city contracts and those who didn’t couldn’t expect much.”

The FBI turned raids against Philly mayor John Street’s election fundraisers and supporters this morning.
They’re not saying, but I’d expect charges soon.

So says an AFP story this morning.
Yet, I notice nothing in it that mentions the fact that her policies and those of her boss, Bill Clinton, were responsible.

Says Ms Not-so-bright:
“It’s difficult to be in France and criticise my government. “

Actually, Madeleine, it’s easier to do so there, than here. Hell, everyone’s doing that. Sean Penn, for example.

and it’s easier for YOU, particularly since nobody here will give you the time of day anymore; your crediblity is shot. Over there, you’ve got an entirely new audience… and one for more freindly toward your socialist one-worlder nonsense.

Just don’t expect us to buy it, here at home. We remeber the lying slug you used to work for.
