Gov. Bill Richardson, Plug The Leaks
Good to see a democrat, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, calling for better security for our nations secrets. Richardson said Thursday:
“We need to plug the leaks, we need to beef up security,” the governor said Wednesday. “This can’t keep happening.”
If you think he is referring to the leakers in cahoots with the New York Times you would be wrong. He is referring to what happened last week in a drug bust.
When Paris Was Burning
Will it be a peaceful ‘anniversary’ of the Paris riots last year?    One of the consequences of open borders?Â
The good news is the 20 plus million ‘immigrants’ that have flooded our borders don’t want to kill us, and they aren’t depending on the government to care for them. Most are working and supporting themselves, some are scamming the system to get welfare.
Fearing the worst, the mayor of one Paris suburb, Eric Raoult, will spend tonight – the first anniversary of the violent rioting that left 10,000 cars burned out across France – patrolling his town in a car packed with fire extinguishers. Read on
Gays And Marriage
I have no problem with ‘gays’ getting married. A gay man is just as free to marry a woman as I am. Similarly, a
gay woman is free to marry a man. No problem. No one is preventing gays from getting married. Gays need to get a grip on the fact that they are not the mainstream of general society and learn to live with that fact, rather than trying to turn society upside down to suit their purpose, using judges that should be disbarred and politicians that should be arrested for blatantly violating the law.
I don’t believe ‘marriage’ has anything to do with rights. If it’s rights they’re after, then legislate some rights, call it a civil union, or even ‘gay married,’ but not simply ‘married.’ The latter being reserved for respect and preservation of traditional family values. Marriage is something that happens between members of the opposite sex. A judge can’t change the definition of marriage. Society via legislatures can, and I hope I’m not around if/when that ever happens.
Getting ‘rights’ for the gay lifestyle isn’t, on its face, a bad idea. Trying to equate it to normal heterosexual marriage is, however.
If gays were as proud of their situation as they seem to be, then one would think they would also be proud of that which defines them. Why not invent another hyphenated class to further delineate us? Along with ?-Americans (insert your word of choice), we’ll now have Gay-Americans. And Gay-Americans can be “gay married.” That seems to me to be a fair solution for gays that are tolerant of societal norms.
That would work, if only “tolerance” wasn’t missing from the lexicon of the gay “movement.”

A Bulava Is Not For Dunking In Coffee
A Bulava is a new submarine-fired missile that Russia is calling their ‘new’ weapon. This is their second test of this weapon in as many months that had failed. This development could delay the commissioning their 3 new Borei-class submarines, the intended vehicle for the Bulava system.
This isn’t a political comment, just an observation. I don’t remember the last time I heard of Russia developing new weapons systems.

Los Alamos Documents Found In Drug Raid
Apparently our nuclear weapons secrets at Los Alamos are still not secure. Not yet, even after the Wen Ho Lee incident going back to 1995. A speed freak with nuclear weapons secrets certainly could find a buyer. The Chinese have been the largest beneficiary of our national secrets in nuclear weapons technology. The line starts with North Korea, Iran, and terrorists, but doesn’t end there.
Father Pulls Gun On 6 Year Old Son’s Coach
Give credit where credit is due. I believe in that principle. The Detroit Pistons featuring Ron Artest have in no small way contributed to the Miami v FIU game incident, and the many other cases since their ruckus two years ago. But that’s the small-time now. Rioting on the field? No problem. Now its guns. And where else but Philadelphia at a football game for 6 and 7 year olds. On Sunday morning.
Gee honey, lets go see the kids’ football game today. Pack a lunch, and don’t forget the bullet-proof vests.
What ever happened to zero tolerance? You know, where an honor student would be expelled for having an Excedrin in her locker. Given that, these idiots that carry on in the stands and start fights should go directly to jail for disturbing the peace if for nothing else. But a weapon? By a kid or a parent? Go to jail.
Schools everywhere need to get a grip on this because, remember, they are the ones setting the example. So far I haven’t seen any good ones.
There is even group called the Citizenship Through Sports Alliance that gives grades based on parent’s behavior. They give Philly a D. I wonder if you get an F for pulling a gun?
Are Dems A Victim Of Their Own Making?
It depends on what the definition of ‘attack’ is I guess. Every time I see a republican accused of attacking the democrats, I check the article out to see what it’s all about. What I invariably find is that the so-called attack is merely a stone cold analysis of a democrat position. When I think of an ‘attack’, I think of stuff like calling Bush a liar, a thief, a murderer, etc..
In this case, the Washington Post calls this an attack:
“You can’t say I want to win the war but not be willing to fight the war,” said Rove, Bush’s top political adviser. “And if leading Democrats have their way, our nation will be weaker and the enemies of our nation will be stronger. And that’s a stark fact, and it’s the reason that this fall election will turn very heavily on national security.”
Rove is right of course. But because it is he who had the nerve to utter those words, that makes it an attack? Despite the confidence they are exhibiting about the election this November, democrats continue to show just how thin skinned they are about their own positions.
CNN Video Is Newsworthy For Who?
CNN demonstrates the synergy between the insurgents in Iraq and the media. If their ratings are so bad that they need to show videos of insurgent snipers killing our soldiers in Iraq, then they need to be expelled from the battlefield. Let the enemy do their own propaganda. But who thinks this is put out for ratings? It would fly well with terrorists in Iraq, and Iran, and Pakistan, and Afghanistan. So in that sense, ‘ratings’ could be a factor.
The truth is, this is merely another episode that helps to undermine the administration and the war effort, which has been the objective of the MSM and their friends in the Democrat party for years.
CNN’s David Doss, executive producer of Anderson Cooper’s show said:
“We also understood that this kind of footage is upsetting and disturbing for many viewers,” he said. “But after getting beyond the emotional debate, we concluded the tape meets our criteria for newsworthiness.”
and
“Whether or not you agree with us in this case, our goal, as always, is to present the unvarnished truth as best we can,” Doss said.
Consider this. We have been flooded with images, and videos, of our soldiers being attacked by IED’s in their humvees, trucks, and tanks. We see them in their hospital beds. We have all seen images of vehicles blown apart that had our soldiers in them. Now we get videos of an enemy sniper killing one of our soldiers.
OK fine. Lets recall images that they and the rest of the MSM thought differently about. Images that, from their perspective, were neither ‘newsworthy’ nor ‘unvarnished truth.’
- Our citizens, choosing to commit suicide by leaping from the upper floors of the WTC rather than be incinerated at the hands of the terrorists.
- The gruesome be-headings of Americans at the hands of the terrorists. If it was reported at all.
- We shouldn’t see the video of 9/11, because we, as a people, don’t have the mental toughness.
Where is CNN’s concern for the family of that soldier, not to mention the sensibilities of Americans period?
CNN’s Doss also said that they
understood that some critics might find that the tape had public relations benefits for the insurgency.
Well of course. And look at the choice they made. The media bias cannot be subtle any longer. Its in your face. You see, any unvarnished images of what our vicious enemy does to us, both here in the United States and overseas, would tend to underscore why we are in this war to begin with, and why the President is doing what he is doing to protect us, (Patriot act, military tribunals, effective interrogations, terrorist surveillance program) and is the reason they won’t show them. But, showing a video of one of our guys getting murdered tends to support their agenda of portraying this war as not winnable and that we should just get out of Iraq.
I haven’t seen anyone question when CNN got that video. On its face, showing the video is over the top, no matter when they got it. What if we were to learn that the video was held for a period only to show near election-time? And given recent history on this subject, who in their right mind would not suspect that?
Tune in to the al-CNN network for more terrorist propaganda, and Democrat talking points.
