PBS Bows To Jihad

What else could it possibly be called?  That PBS has made the decision to insulate the American people from the realities of what moderate Muslims in America are saying and what civilization is up against when it comes to the Global War On Terror (that’s what I call it), the PBS network is doing a dis-service to this country in the very least, while aiding those who would wish us dead.  PBS has yanked the airing of “Islam vs. Islamists” from a series that begins airing next week.

The producer of a tax-financed documentary on Islamic extremism claims his film has been dropped for political reasons from a television series that airs next week on more than 300 PBS stations nationwide.

And that wasn’t the half of it.

Martyn Burke says that the Public Broadcasting Service and project managers at station WETA in Washington, D.C., excluded his documentary, Islam vs. Islamists, from the series America at a Crossroads after he refused to fire two co-producers affiliated with a conservative think tank.

“I was ordered to fire my two partners (who brought me into this project) on political grounds,” Burke said in a complaint letter to PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supplied funds for the films.

Talk about an inconvenient truth, PBS needs a extra large dose of it right now.  To further the jihadists’ goals by keeping us in the dark, when you have the chance to do otherwise, is disgusting.

Australia Sending Special Forces

Australia Prime Minister John Howard is fighting to win too!  He is sending more special forces to Afghanistan.   No wobbly knees down under.   I don’t believe I’ve seen this in theAustralia Prime Minister John Howard news today?  Not surprised.  Certainly does not fit the template.

Australia is sending special forces commandos back to Afghanistan to hunt down the leaders of the resurgent Taliban as part of a doubling of Australia’s troop numbers there, Prime Minister John Howard said on Tuesday.

The deployment of 300 special-forces troops to the southeast of Afghanistan, near the heart of the Taliban rebellion, is part of an increased effort needed to win the war in Afghanistan, Howard told a media conference.

General’s Letter To The Iraqi People

While watching the newscasts today of the al-Sadr instigated demonstrations in Iraq, demonstrations against U.S. and coalition forces, here is the one news item the media is sure to miss. Gen. Petraeus’ letter to the Iraqi people upon the 4th anniversary of the fall of Saddam’s regime. It’s also time to review the 7 reasons (not 1) that we went into Iraq in the first place.

To the Iraqi People:

Monday, April 9, 2007 will mark the 4th anniversary of the liberation of Iraq from Saddam Hussein’s regime. For many in Iraq and around the world, it will be a time for reflection on the early days after liberation in 2003 and on what has transpired since then.

Double Standard, Squared

If it weren’t for the blogosphere and Snoop at PoliticalPartyPoop, I may have never heard what a famous liberal radio talker said about some black members of a college basketball team.   I don’t listen to his liberal rants of hating Bush and conservatives which has become fashionable over the years.  Like anything Air America puts out, three minutes is about all I can take.   But on his nationally syndicated radio show, also simulcast on MSNBC, Don Imus called them nappy headed hos with tattoos.  I’m paraphrasing his statement, but here’s MSNBC’s coverage of the incident. 

The National Association of Black Journalists, the editor-in-chief of Essence magazine and a New York sports columnist joined the chorus against Imus.

“What he has said has deeply hurt too many people — black and white, male and female,” said NABJ President Bryan Monroe. “His so-called apology comes two days after the fact, and it is too little, too late.”

The NABJ, NNappy headed hos? That might be a little introspection on his part.ational Association of Black Journalists, among others, are calling for his ouster.  I’m not holding my breath.  Liberals never eat their own, they just swallow it and the media gives them a pass.  It’s a ‘whatever it takes’ attitude and everyone else be dammed.   Remember Robert (KKK) Byrd’s statement he made on the floor of the Senate, something about there being ‘white n*****s too?’  Got a total pass.  I wonder what he thinks of Imus in light of this episode?  And who is Imus to talk about nappy heads anyway? 

Pick any conservative or republican radio personality who would (and I don’t know any who would) make such a statement and it would blow Anna Nichole Smith to the back page and all of TV would be consumed with it instead.  Frankly, I don’t understand why this issue hasn’t risen to the front page and become the lead story in the CBS, NBS, and ABS morning and evening ‘news’ programs.  That’s not exactly true, I do understand, there’s politics in play when it comes to the media.  It’s more than just a double standard.  Just how far will they go to keep a 90%+ voting block intact?  And how much more crap will that 90% take?

Update:04/18/07.  They did eat their own.  I sure got that one wrong.  Never underestimate the ‘power’ of Jesse Sharpton.   It must be re-justification time again. 

Is al Qaeda Training In Venezuela?

News of Hugo Chavez allowing, if not sponsoring himself, al Qaeda to establish a training camp on Margarita Island in Venezuela is beginning to bubble up. Not surprisingly, this news has not risen to the level that the mainstream media feels we need to know. They’re probably waiting until the dirty bomb or mushroom cloud goes off before reporting it. No need to investigate now you know. Where is Brian Ross when you need him?

As is being reported elsewhere, the terrorists/Islamofascists are learning to speak Spanish with a Mexican accent, and to look, dress, and act Mexican (however you do that I have no clue). Then it is just a short waltz across the unguarded Mexican border to deliver terror to the United States. But don’t take my word for it. Just pick your search engine of choice for a combination of al Qaeda, training camps, Venezuela, and/or Chavez and see for yourself.

Update 1/13/08: Just discovered that the website out of Caracas, “http://www.militaresdemocraticos.com” no longer exists.  No doubt taken down by the Chavez ‘government.’

Teachers Pension Funds Gone

New Jersey official documents say they either deposited $551 million,  $56 million, or $0 into its Teachers Pension fund.   It turns out that the actual amount was zero.  Where did it all go?  

BTW, New Jersey has been run by democrats since the 2000 election, a point the New York Times feels is not important for this article.  Right!  You know if republicans were in charge, they would have found the courage to mention it.

Cover-up Of The Constitutional Showdown

No, it’s not about Democrats v. Bush this time.  This time it’s about special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald.  Fitzgerald is fighting release of documents in the now ‘closed’ Valerie Wilson debacle.  From today’s Opinion Journal Online. . .

Mr. Fitzgerald is fighting release of the affidavits he filed with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to justify compelling two reporters to testify about their conversations with Mr. Libby, and to throw one of them in jail for 85 days until she did so. Also under court seal are eight pages of a redacted 2005 D.C. Circuit opinion by Judge David Tatel that explained the court’s decision to support Mr. Fitzgerald’s pursuit of the reporters.

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.

How Serious Is It?

It’s a war going on.  Have you ever seen something like this before?  The murder rate in Philadelphia is bad and getting worse.  Communities are meeting to complain about it to try to get citizens to turn in the bad guys.  Meanwhile, the police department has released interactive maps of shootings and murders for a real picture of just how bad it is, complete with a laundry list of victims.  

It’s no joke when I meet someone from Philly and I tell them that ‘I’m glad you got out alive.’
