Brian Williams was on the Today Show this morning and speaking to Mitt Romney about the Republican debate yesterday hosted by MSNBC and moderated by Chris Matthews, who claims that he is an independent host. Williams says to Romney that it appears that Republicans have chosen Hillary Clinton as their opponent, since he and Rudy Giuliani and a few others had referred to her specifically. If you go by who the Democrat primary candidates and their leadership are talking about, you would think that they are running against Rush Limbaugh.

Sen. Hillary Clinton Get’s Nod From Terrorists
When it comes to Hillary Clinton, you don’t have to make anything up. When it comes to Rush Limbaugh, you do have to make things up, as liberals do.
“I hope Hillary is elected in order to have the occasion to carry out all the promises she is giving regarding Iraq,” stated Ala Senakreh, West Bank chief of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terrorist group.
and
“All Americans must vote Democrat,” stated Jihad Jaara, an exiled member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group and the infamous leader of the 2002 siege of Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity.
The Iraqi government doesn’t want us to leave yet, not prematurely. The terrorists do want us out, as does every democrat in the democrat presidential primary. Hillary has a choice to make as to which of these two she chooses to support. Our ally or our enemy.
One thing about these quotes that need to be vetted, if the ‘progressives’ around us are to believe them. And that is, whether are they being financed by Rupert Murdoch? Because you know, according to them, he and the neocons own the media and all that they report. I know it makes no sense, but that’s what they say they believe.
Newspaper “Outs” Anonymous Forum Poster
I really don’t see the point in ‘outing‘ the identity of a poster in any forum on any topic when that forum permits the use of an alias. Use of an alias offers an anonymous opinion, which is just that, an opinion. Forums are meant to encourage dialog and the forum is where that dialog belongs, with one possible exception below.
IMHO, there is only one exception, and that is if any laws are broken, then the authorities (that wouldn’t be the newspaper) should be notified. Then, the newspaper has an obligation to report whatever ‘news’ is generated by the authorities. That’s journalism. This forum flap is not journalism. Despite what Pensacola News Journal editor Richard A. Schneider says . . .
You have the right to know that and we have the obligation to tell you.
I couldn’t disagree more. In the context of anonymous posting, should the newspaper take on the role of bully toward posters who they don’t particularly like or who carry some amount of notoriety or their occupation? Should they publish the poster’s email address? Of course not. If an editor has something to say about a post, the forum is the place to respond, with or without an alias. To strip the anonymity and take it to the editorial page where the unwashed might see a huge and (to borrow a recently overused word) “phony” scandal is something more than irresponsible.
If you want to stifle debate then change the rules to not allow aliases. It certainly will trim the tripe.
The irony of a newspaper (which has special first amendment protection) actively attacking free speech might be considered an abuse of that protection, and is just a bit hypocritical if not unethical in an of itself.

Hillary Clinton’s ‘Karl Rove’ Puts Her On Defense
Funny what comes up around the Blackwater USA inquisition on Capitol Hill. 
According to John Edwards, Mark Penn’s company helped prepare Blackwater’s chief to prepare for his congressional testimony. Mark Penn is Hillary Clinton’s political adviser “who is like her Karl Rove,” Edwards said. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Hillary Clinton found herself defending her chief strategist Friday after The Associated Press reported that the public relations company Mark Penn runs had helped prepare the chief of the controversial military contractor Blackwater USA for his congressional testimony.
“Mark Penn did no work on the Blackwater account,†Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said Friday afternoon.
I’m sure the billing records would corroborate that. Who would even ask for them? I don’t see this as any big deal really. Ironic, yes, but nothing illegal or even improper. Private companies have clients that want their services. That’s what they do. I felt the same way about Armstrong Williams too.
If there is no double standard, ahem, then I suppose the mainstream media will jump on the ‘dump Mark Penn’ bandwagon like they did with Armstrong Williams. What are the chances?
110,000 New Jobs Created, How Would Democrats Fix This?
Oh No. Adding to the three years of continuous job growth, another 110,000 more were created in September, while an earlier estimate of job losses in August was revised to a gain, quashing fears of recession. The unemployment rate is at 4.7 percent, up from 4.6. 5 percent or below is considered full employment. Tax revenues are up. Oh please tell me how the Democrats in Washington intend on fixing this.

Al Gore’s Movie, An Inconvenient Truth, Earns A Disclaimer
This is cool, no pun intended. A judge has ruled in favor of the school teacher that Al Gore’s movie “An Inconvenient Truth” may be shown in schools only if the students are first told that this movie represents Al Gore’s ideas and is not the be all and end all theory about global warming, that there are others.
This means that teachers will have to warn pupils that there are other opinions on global warming and they should not necessarily accept the views of the film.
and
Stewart Dimmock said the former U.S. Vice-President’s documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, is unfit for schools because it is politically biased and contains serious scientific inaccuracies and ‘sentimental mush’.
High Court Judge Michael Burton said that errors were made in “the context of alarmism and exaggeration.” The film’s “apocalyptic vision” was not an impartial analysis of climate change.

Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), Here’s Your Answer
During Sen. Reid’s harangue of Rush Limbaugh, a private citizen, on the floor of the Senate, he says this about spewing hate at our troops. “I can’t help but wonder how my Republican colleagues would have reacted if the tables were turned — if a well-known Democratic radio personality had used the same insulting line of attack against troops who support the war.” Harry, you wouldn’t understand so I’ll type real slow.
“I can’t help but wonder how my Republican colleagues would have reacted ”
That’s easy. There wouldn’t be any reaction because they don’t read Media Matters crap as fact. Its easy because he didn’t say what he is being accused of saying, and they might have bothered to listen to him first-hand.
No big deal, just another rabid lib. That’s how they would have reacted.
This is of course a hypothetical question. You first have to have a well-known Democratic radio personality.
I think he really meant Liberal, not Democratic. As if Rush is a Republican radio personality.  I disagree that Rush is a Republican radio personality. He is a conservative radio personality. Republicans and conservatives are two different entities nowadays. The whole border issue revealed that. Regardless, dominant liberal or Democrat radio personalities don’t exist.

Democrats Slander Rush Limbaugh On Senate Floor
The Dems’ resolution would be funny if it was a joke. But they’re serious, and blatantly uninformed. No, they’re not uninformed, they are misinforming the public about Limbaugh in an attempt to minimize his impact. In other words, the entire Democrat party is afraid of one lovable little fuzzball. That’s what’s funny about it.
I remember Patsy Schroeder on the floor of the House several years ago, saying how Rush bought his mother a new can opener to open her canned food, dog food. It was Rush just being Rush by illustrating a point with absurdity. But Schroeder believed what someone told her Rush said instead of what he actually said, and repeated that line as a fact on the floor of the House of Representatives. Within a few days she became the laughing stock of the House of Representatives.
We all know that libs have no sense of humor, which puts them at a genetic disadvantage. Now Harry Reid apparently believes what Media Matters tells him “what Rush said” which was not what Rush said. The phony soldiers, plural, like MacBeth and Scott Thomas Beauchamp with their phony stories. Those phony soldiers, and there are more than just those two. He wasn’t speaking of real soldiers or of real soldiers that don’t agree with the war. But facts just get in the way.
Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV). . .
Rush Limbaugh took it upon himself to attack the courage and character of those fighting and dying for him and for all of us. Rush Limbaugh got himself a deferment from serving when he was a young man. He never served in uniform. He never saw in person the extreme difficulty of maintaining peace in a foreign country engaged in a civil war. He never saw a person in combat. Yet, that he thinks his opinion on the war is worth more than those who have been on the front lines.
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa)
Maybe he was just high on his drugs. I don’t know.
Harry Reid (and the rest of their party and the mainstream media) only had to check out Rush’s website to see the webcam video of the conversation. But no, they’re much too busy. They will instead take the word of Media Matters, a George Soros funded group that provide most of the talking points for the MSM.

Reid and his cohorts in the slander-Rush-chorus show themselves to be fools and tools of the Soros wing of the Democrat Party.

San Francisco Fails To Stop Blues From Flying
A follow-up to a post a few months ago, where some city officials in San Francisco said they would not allow the Blue Angels to put on their show at Fleet Week which is scheduled for next week. The city failed to pass the resolution which would have prevented the Blues from performing. A small victory but it speaks volumes as to that anti-military attitude of some of the city leaders there.

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge 101
Some things are worth repeating, and debunking the myths about ANWR is one of them. The media and the environmentalists will show you the prettiest pictures of the reserve, then actually tell you that this is where BIG OIL wants to drill.
This is the coastal plain, the place designated for oil exploration. 
And this is the coastal plain in the spring.
And this is representative of pictures that the media and environmentalists will show you and why we need to save the planet.
Any questions?
