So, let me understand THIS, here.
We have public schools teaching homosexuality, cross dressing, etc… all as normal parts of the school year.
I don’t mean to place these items in the same breath, but… There seems no objection to teaching and respecting an invented Holiday, when blacks are involved… (Nee Kwanzaa) No apparent problems with respecting Jewish traditions (Hanukkah). But mention Jesus Christ, and the lawyers decend like a pack of rats smelling food.
Why are we letting the Lawyers (And I include judges and polititians, here) destroy who we are as a people?

the issue you bring up here is quite true. However, you’re missing a relationship I think needs to be pointed out. Webb, for all his self-rightious splutter, only seems concerned about where the press supposedly ignores stories that make the political right look bad…. and it’s usually the seriously crackpot crap, The Alcoa Hat Company listings, like the CIA and drugs in LA in support of the Contras, for example.
An example of this; You correctly point out that the press ignored Foster, pretty much, whereas given a chance to go after Al D’amato, they practically busted a vein getting into the story.
I mean, doesn’t the concept of WHY the press is ignoring what they’re ignoring enter the picture at some point? If so, looking at WHAT they ignore and WHAT they pursue should give anyone with a pulse, a clue.

The Jerusalem Post says:
“Former US president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter will head the supervising committee for the Palestinian elections set to be held on January 9, Israel Radio reported. “
Uh huh.
Riiight.
Well here’s an earthshaking prediction. The terrorists win.
And Here’s a second one: Carter finds nothing wrong with this outcome.

So, lemme understand this, here.
Canada’s security net is full of holes, with most border crossings guarded by a lone staffer and airport security so lax that missing security badges and uniforms recently turned up for sale on eBay.
A new Canadian Senate security report calls for reform, a boost in defense spending and improved cooperation with the United States.
And yet, Canadian PM Paul Martin responds to this and other security concerns by saying:
…he does not believe the U.S. ballistic missile shield will succeed in shooting down incoming rockets, as he threw up new roadblocks to counter President George W. Bush’s strong appeal for Canada to join his continental defence plan.
Canada will not put any money into building the missile shield and it will not allow Washington to station rockets on Canadian soil as the price of participation in the multibillion-dollar program, Martin told Global National in a year-end interview.
In another issue that could cause friction with Bush, Martin said Canada was prepared to accept U.S. citizens who do not want to serve in the war in Iraq.
Wake up, Canada. Your government is falling down on it’s first and most important job; Security.
Do you really think that if and when the US were to fall to these bastards, that you’d not be next on the list? Does the name Neville Chamberlain ring a bell with you?

Clearly, Chevy Chase has lost his friggin’ mind. Senility is finally settling in. Or so one judges by the reports of his appearance at the Kennedy Center yesterday. Even the Hollywood left were trying to distance themselves from his comments there, says WaPo’s Richard Leiby in today’s. The Reliable Source (washingtonpost.com)
Of course Chase is simply playing to the room. Think; What can you expect when the other speakers are Alec Baldwin .. he of the “I’m moving to France” line… and Susan Sarandon, (no comment), Tom Daschle, and Norman Lear? You rather expect a feeding frenzy at what was clearly designed as a bitch session for the losers of the last election. A little coke or maybe a little booze… Something… and a room full of bitter, bitter people bitching about their loss and someone like Chase is off to the races, doing what talents like him do; playing the room. Trouble is, he actually BELIEVES the sludge he spewed, and so it comes out stronger than he intends.
If I’m you, Chase, you blinking moronic stooge, I’m grabbing a national mike somewhere to issue a formal apology. If I’m “People for the (UN)-American way”, who hosted the event, I’m thinking some pressure on Chase to do that is worth the effort expended. If you’re really worried about being associated with this idiot’s comments, that is.
Of course it COULD be that you actually AGREE with the man, huh?
At what point do we understand, dear reader, that Hollywood is NOT our friend?

I wonder if the (Father and Daughter) bloggers at a blog called MnKurmudge&DCKid haven’t got the above topic all figured out.

Captain Ed, over atCaptain’s Quarters points to an AP report of an attack in Karballa against…
“…Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani in order to discourage the upcoming elections, the AP reports. The bombing killed seven people, mostly bodyguards, and wounded Sistani’s aide…”
Ed goes on to point out, correctly, somehting I’ve been saying here…. Islam isn’t a reason, it’s an excuse….
“Today’s attack isn’t the first time the Imam Hussein shrine has been a target for the Islamofascist terrorists. A series of bombs at a religious festival in March killed 181 Shi’a celebrating at the tomb of Shi’a founder Ali’s son. These attacks demonstrate that the terrorists have no interest in defending Islam against infidels, but merely want to impose their own totalitarian vision of the world on a prostrate Iraqi nation. Islam merely provides an excuse, one they easily discard whenever favorable tactical situations arise near so-called holy shrines. “
Ed also points out the strategy is failing.
So, I wonder; at what point do the Democrats admit they were wrong on Iraq, too?

Jen Martinez points out this morning that while the UN lowered it’s flag in respect for the terrorist, Yassir Arafat, it did not do so for the death of Ronald Reagan.
She makes a reccomendation I can’t disagree with:
“I want restitution and an apology. Actually I want more, I want us out of the UN and I want the UN booted from my country, permanently.”
She has much more on this topic, too. A worthy read.

James at Outside The Beltway seems to think baseball in the DC area’s in trouble. He quotes Boswell in the WaPo who says in part:
“Late Tuesday night, in the 11th hour of a marathon D.C. Council meeting, chairman Linda W. Cropp blew to smithereens the deal that MLB thought it had in place with Washington to build a ballpark on the Anacostia waterfront. With that single blow, which leaves baseball no alternatives, the return of major league baseball to the nation’s capital is now dead.”
Frankly, I’m having a problem working up any kind of emotion at all on this one.My initial reaction, was one word: “Typical”.
After watching our own Demorat Mayor here in Rochester destroy our city in slow motion, it doesn’t even raise an eyebrow, anymore when a fellow Democrat pulls the same thing in another town, and for much the same reason. Says James:
“Those on AM970, the DC sports radio station, believe Cropp, who wants to be mayor some day, is piqued that MLB hasn’t shown her the proper level of respect. “
Those of you in Rochester…. does this ring any bells about a big boat in the Genesee River? About High Falls? About a PAC? About proposals for a Casino in Downtown Rochester?
And it’s not just these two cities. It’s the whole country, like this.
People, I want you to consider this seriously; Take a look at the Red/Blue map on a County- By- County level from the most recent election. and note that the areas of the country that are in the most decay, are the ones that are under the control of the Democratic party; they are the last holdouts for that party.
The connection: You decide.

Billy remarks on some problems John Venlet’s been having of late. I sympathise with both of you gents, but I know for a fact John’s hit rate went up on an orer of scale, from people following links his page sent out as that junk was being added to his comments. I know… my system auto-links to such things, and I got several of them since I’ve been fairly active on John’s site.
(sigh)

Michael J. Totten, this morning, as if this is a shock to his system;
Juan Cole would rather align himself with anti-American Iraqis like the blogger Riverbend. Okay, whatever. But I have no idea why he expects conservatives and centrists to do any such thing. Most people in this world don’t reflexively side with those who hate them. One reason he is in the political wilderness and I’m not is because he does and I don’t.
But self-hatred seems to be a basic tenant of the un-American left, Michael. Haven’t you caught on, yet?

UPI fed this story last night, and it shows what we’re in for from the Democrats; Four more years of whining and bitching about a President that did what none of theirs have done since either Johnson, or FDR, depending on whose counting you use… won the popular vote…
The Democrats still can’t figure out why they lost… or perhaps simply will not admit it to themselves. And this tack they’ve just announced isn’t going to make it any better for them.
But please, Democrats continue with this farce. My guess is, that as a result of your actions in this, the margin of victory will be even wider in the mid-term… for the Republicans.
