Democrats’ Alternate Constitution

Thomas Sowell reminds us again that there is but one Commander-In-Chief, only one Secretary of State, and only one President of the United States.

Congressman Tom Lantos, who is a member of the delegation that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leading to Syria, put the mission clearly when he said: We have an alternative Democratic foreign policy.”

Sowell points out “Democrats can have any foreign policy they want” if and when they are elected to the White House.”  Democrats in Washington today are not being guided by the U.S. Constitution, they seem to be using the moveon.org version.

Congressional Black Caucus Says YES To FOX

2 Comments

As a follow-up to my post of March 15 (Here Comes The Race Card), the CBC has rebuked the agitators on the left and decided to partner with FOX broadcasting to co-sponsor presidential primary debates this fall.  Proving, as this writer puts it, that a broken clock is right twice a day. 

“The CBC Institute is committed to presenting the presidential candidates to the broadest audience possible,” Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the chairman of the institute, said in a statement. “Collaborating with Fox News provides an opportunity to take this presidential election to millions of households.”

It is a symbolic set-back for the rabid left to be sure, when the CBC decides NOT to play along with the race card.  Rep. Bennie Thompson has it right.

Take My Speaker, Please!

No, it’s not a threat, its a joke.  Thank you Rodney Dangerfield for your inspiration and humor.  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, against the wishes of the administration, visits the middle east’s largest sponsor of terrorism, Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Apparently she is saying nothing new.  Apparently she is carrying the administration’s message; stop supporting terrorism, stop seeking to undermine the Lebanese government, recognize Israel’s right to exist, all that.  All that has been said and done before. 

Besides adding to global warming by flying over there, what was her point in going?  To appear relevant I guess, as a Co-Commander-In-Chief-Secretary-of-State.  Right, this after she tells the president to ‘calm down.’  She’s using a different version of the U.S. Constitution than the one in Washington.  Must be the moveon.org version.

Good Genocide Bad Genocide , What?

For years now, literally years, the Bush administration has had to push the United Nations into even discussing the genocide in Darfur, Africa. That’s the place where the Islamofascists have virtually taken over the government and have been on a mission to kill or otherwise displace the Christian native Africans. The U.N. can’t even agree calling what is happening there genocide. But the far left can see it as genocide. And I agree, it is. That, and the United Nations is a worthless group of anti-American, anti-West thugs.

Funny thing about it is, this country didn’t cause or start the genocide in Darfur. This administration is diplomatically trying to get African nations together to stop it themselves. Yet, the left has TV commercials all over the airwaves saying, ‘President Bush, stop the genocide’ as though he’s the one causing it. When it comes to Iraq and the war on terror it is the far left, these same people, who just want the U.S. out of Iraq. They want the Iraqi people to be left high and dry, to wallow in their own ‘civil war’ as they call it. If we were to pull out before the job is finished, there would be genocide in Iraq and it would be the left in this country that would be responsible for it. Go figure.

Troops = Football

To the far left, the ones apparently calling the shots in the Democrat(ic) party today, the troops are the political football and their game-plan it to play a game.  That’s why they have apparently put Barack Obama on their s***list, for really trying to support the troops.

In a post titled ‘Obama caves to Bush,’ the shadow party chairman (kos) says

“Instead of threatening Bush with even more restrictions and daring him to veto funding for the troops out of pique, Barack just surrendered to him.”

It is obvious that the far left is fighting the wrong war.  This is what Obama said that kos characterizes as surrendering to Bush.

If President Bush vetoes an Iraq war spending bill as promised, Congress quickly will provide the money without the withdrawal timeline the White House objects to because no lawmaker “wants to play chicken with our troops.”

A Liberal Who Wants To Win, Not Retreat

Meet Marc Danziger, a liberal democrat who wants to win the war, not run from it. He also believes that the war in Iraq is just one front in the overall global war on terror. And he has a plan to support any and all efforts to that end. He has started The Victory PAC.

For a perspective you haven’t heard from another liberal, with the exception of Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Ct), here’s where Marc is coming from.

I’m a liberal Democrat (pro-gay marriage, pro-choice, pro-progressive taxation, pro-equal rights, pro-environmental regulation, pro-public schools) who supported and supports the war in Iraq. As I tell my liberal friends “Did I miss the part where it was progressive not to fight medieval religious fascists?”

I’ve been waiting for four years for the White House to start really explaining the war to the American people, and to do anything sensible at all to maintain the political capital necessary to keep America in the fight – to keep us from withdrawing because the war is too messy, or too long, or just plain makes us feel bad.

Marc is a liberal who knows who the real enemy is, and its not George Bush.

Thanks to Michelle Malkin for the heads up on Victory PAC

Cable News Rankings, March 29

Who is watching and who is being watched?  It seems viewers have had enough of the message from the cable version of the MSM.  Note who is at the bottom half.  Which means you can only expect them to get even more intense and creative in the art of making up news and crisis-ridden stories.

It also makes you wonder why the Democrat party in Nevada dropped out of the Fox-sponsored Primary debates.  They might do well to have it on South Park.

World Goes Wuss On Geneva Conventions

Even the cave dwellers in Afghanistan and Pakistan saw the world reaction alleging Geneva Convention violations to the terrorists, who btw are not covered by the Geneva Convention, when they landed in Club Gitmo, the Guantanamo Bay prison.  For the last few days we’ve witnessed bonafide GC violations when Great Britain’s soldiers, our allies in the war on terror, were filmed reading propaganda and wearing costumes not part of their uniform, like the scarf and tablecloth they made the female captive wear.

An image taken from Iranian television Friday March 30, 2007 showing three British service personnel, at left a serviceman whose name was given in Farsi as Nathan Thomas Summers, Faye Turney, 26, the only woman amongst the British navy personnel, centre, and a man believed to be Adam Sperry, some of the British personnel being held captive by Iran. A newscaster earlier on Al-Alam television said the taped confession would show a British marine explaining how he and his colleagues entered Iranian waters 'in an illegal way.' (AP Photo/APTN) Have you heard ONE objection about this yet?   Seen any demonstrators in the streets demanding Iran stop doing it?  I checked the New York Times.  There is not a word fit to print on this subject I guess.  And what about the usual cadre of Geneva Convention cheerleaders, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, John Murtha, John Kerry, and Mrs. Bill Clinton?  

Proof positive that all that made-up crap was done for only one purpose, to harm  the Bush administration, and as an added plus, this country and the war on terror, for purely political purposes.

MSM 100, On Political Corruption

Once you read the first paragraph of this story, can you guess which political party this high ranking NJ elected official is affiliated with?  After the second para?  The third?  Still no clue?  If you are alert, in the fourth paragraph you will see the single reference to Sen. Wayne Bryant’s party, where the word democrat is mentioned.  

When was the last time you saw a ‘news’ article having to do with corruption involving a republican where the perp’s party affiliation did not immediately follow his name?  It is the usual convention for identifying politicians, umm, when criminal behavior is not an issue I guess?  When it is, then the D’s are omitted.

TRENTON – State Sen. Wayne Bryant, until recently one of New Jersey’s most influential lawmakers, was charged today with abusing his power and the public trust.

A federal grand jury indicted Bryant, 59, of Lawnside, on public corruption and fraud charges tied to his employment at University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and two other publicly funded agencies and institutions.

The 20-count indictment also charges R. Michael Gallagher, the former dean of UMDNJ’s School of Osteopathic Medicine in Stratford, whom prosecutors allege schemed with Bryant to defraud the system.

According to the 40-page indictment, the powerful Camden County Democrat effectively sold his political influence to Gallagher and the osteopathic school. In return for lobbying on behalf of the school and securing millions in extra state funds, prosecutors allege, Bryant was rewarded with a $35,000-a-year, no-show job.

Camden, New Jersey is the city where the school system is in shambles, has been taken over by a state appointee, because the administration was more concerned with graft, kickbacks, and cheating on test scores than actually teaching their kids. 

As for Sen. Wayne Bryant, he has a distinguished record of corruption going back to 1990.

It only gets worse the higher up the food chain you go.  Take Rep. William ‘Dollar Bill’ Jefferson (D-La) for example.  That investigation isn’t finished.   Did you even know there was one?  Think hurricane Katrina, National Guard, and you might remember his name.  Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi recently put him on the House Homeland Security Committee.   Having $90,000 in bribe money in your freezer is just one of the criteria for getting appointed to that highly sensitive and important committee.  Majority leader Pelosi apparently isn’t concerned with that ‘culture of corruption’ thing when one of her own is concerned.

Packing Heat In New Orleans

Apparently that’s what Sen. James Webb (D-Va.) did. In explaining how a gun could have found its way into his assistant’s possession and be carried onto the grounds of the Russell Senate Office building, Webb seemed to say, ‘well hey, we had the gun because we had been in New Orleans over the weekend.’

Hear that Mayor Ray Nagin? The senator feels compelled to arm himself when visiting your fine city. He actually said it more like this in speaking of his staffer’s arrest:

‘I think this is one of those very unfortunate situations where, completely inadvertently, he took the weapon into the Senate yesterday,’ Webb added. The senator noted that he was in New Orleans from Friday until Monday. He speculated that the incident happened because three of his cars were moved because of the trip.

I don’t think it will do much for the city’s recovery when lawmakers are afraid to visit without the special protection of Smith and Wesson.

In a related post, there is a solution to the crime problem in N.O. I wonder if the mayor saw it?
