Official swimming pool temperature is down to 79 degrees F. Sure sign that winter is coming. Just thought my friends up north would like to hear that. So what are you waiting for? Get out while you still can!
United States Responsible For Darfur Genocide?
That ridiculous statement came from Muslim Brotherhood Leader in Sudan Sheikh Sadeq Abdallah bin Al-Majed during an interview on Al-Jazeera TV dealing with Darfur. That’s not all he said. There’s this gem from him, “Islam does not permit a non-Muslim to rule over Muslims.”
Any questions?
Here’s one. If Islam wants to control the world both physically and spiritually, and blow up people trying to accomplish that goal, does defending yourself against that constitute a War on Islam? Isn’t a War for Islam more correct?

Why The Attack On Talk Radio?
One of my favorite professors in real-life and on talk radio, is Dr. Walter E. Williams. “Black by popular demand” is a slogan he uses when guest-hosting for Rush. Regardless of your opinion of talk radio and the many and varied radio personalities, Dr. Williams puts the whole phony controversy into perspective which is something the mainstream media cannot be accused of doing.
Over the span of some 20 years, Rush has been attacked from just about every leftist corner, as would anyone who tirelessly espoused the founding principles of our nation — private property, rule of law and limited government. What has made Rush so effective with this message has been his ability to put things, and ask questions, in a manner that the average citizen can understand and relate to, and do so with a bit of humor. Humor creates madness among leftists who want their interventionist agenda taken seriously.

Newspaper Defends Outing Of Anonymous Forum Poster
The Pensacola News Journal became their own version of ‘deep throat’ last week when they outed a poster on one of their forums. Now a week later they still find themselves defending that action. The nut of the PNJ’s position is this:
Not only did Godzilla support Bergosh’s positions, he even praised him(self) by name. Does anyone, Bergosh included, not understand the deception involved? But he was outraged to be exposed.
Who’s “deception” tramples freedom of speech? Bergosh’s, or the newspaper’s? It wasn’t that long ago that a President of the United States was given kudos by the media for how well he could lie. He was called clever for that. Now, a forum poster gives his real identity a pat on the back and its like he cut off some one’s leg.
I couldn’t let this pass, my response in their forum follows.

MSM Ignores Gen. Sanchez’s Comments, About Them
The so-called mainstream media (MSM) was all over Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez speech, or so you may have thought. We heard his criticism of the Bush administration for inadequate strategy and prosecution of the war. But these so-called journalists couldn’t bring themselves to tell you what else Sanchez had to say in the same Q&A session at the Military Reporters & Editors convention last week.
For starters . . .
Sanchez opened by criticizing the U.S. news media, saying he was unfairly labeled “a liar” and “a torturer” because of the Abu Ghraib scandal, and he alleged that the media have lost their sense of ethics. He said that members of the media blow stories out of proportion and are unwilling to correct mistakes, and that the “media environment is doing a great disservice to the nation.”

Best Defense Is A Good Admission?
You will recall William (Dollar Bill) Jefferson, (D-LA). He is the congressman who was found with $90,000 in marked money in the freezer of his Washington DC home. Jefferson’s lawyers want the bribery charges against Jefferson dismissed. They are saying that he wasn’t involved in bribery, his actions were more like influence peddling instead. What?
Democrats Flunk Foreign Relations 101, On Purpose
Unable to secure defeat fast enough, house Democrats decide to vote on a resolution to condemn Turkey for genocide from a hundred years ago. Turkey is also our ally, a key ally in the war on terror. Key is an understatement. Turkey is supporting the war effort by allowing transit to Afghanistan and Iraq through Turkey allowing a re-supply line to northern Iraq and west.
About 70 percent of U.S. air cargo headed for Iraq goes through Turkey as does about one-third of the fuel used by the U.S. military there. U.S. bases also get water and other supplies carried in overland by Turkish truckers who cross into Iraq’s northern Kurdish region. In addition, C-17 cargo planes fly military supplies to U.S. soldiers in remote areas of Iraq from Incirlik, avoiding the use of Iraqi roads vulnerable to bomb attacks. U.S. officials say the arrangement helps reduce American casualties.
Now, why do this now? Now that the surge seems to be working, now as we are seeing opposing Iraqi factions beginning to work together and get along? Could that be why it is NOW?
Meanwhile, Turkey has recalled their Ambassador to the U.S., Ambassador Nabi Sensoy. Last year France’s national assembly voted to condemn the Armenian deaths and Turkey responded by canceling contracts with the French military. These Democrats have learned from history, and in this case, wish to repeat it. It will surely put a stick in the spokes of supporting our troops in Iraq and the war effort. Oh that’s right. They support the troops.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) says . . .
Why do it now? Because there’s never a good time and all of us in the Democratic leadership have supported it.
President Bush says . . .
Its passage would do great harm to our relations with a key ally in NATO and in the global war on terror.
Turkey’s President Abdullah Gul was right on . . .
Unfortunately, some politicians in the United States have once again sacrificed important matters to petty domestic politics despite all calls to common sense. This unacceptable decision by the committee, like its predecessors, has no validity or respectability for the Turkish nation.
Is this their idea of how wartime allies should be treated? With them in the White House, it is questionable if we would ever have a wartime ally again, should we need one, or several, or many.

Google Gets Political
They refuse to run an ad that points out Moveon.org’s participation in campaigning against Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME). Oh really? Suddenly, Google is more than a platform. I don’t like what I’m seeing. Here’s the ad. What’s the problem? Wouldn’t have anything to do with their tax status as a non-political 501c would it? Well it should. More at Michelle Malkin.
MoveOn.org has made Susan Collins their #1 target.
Senator Susan Collins has a long record of success, based on her ability to work across party lines to do what is right for this country. From healthcare to national defense, Susan Collins has taken a measured and moderate approach that has yielded an admirable record of bipartisan accomplishment.
Senator Collins has worked hard for the people of Maine, but now extreme contributors from the Far Left have decided to attack her. MoveOn.org has contributed more money to her opponent than all of the presidential candidates combined, $250,000 already, more than a year before the 2008 election. They have run 9 attack ads against her, almost $1 million worth, including one featuring children dressed in military fatigues, forced to crawl under barbed wire.
We’ve seen the destructive effect of MoveOn.org’s dirty politics many times, including their recent outrageous attack on U.S. General David Petraeus in the New York Times.
Now MoveOn.org and other extremists have focused on Susan Collins, and they are using the same ruthless methods they’ve always used.
MoveOn.org has decided that Susan Collins is their number one target for 2008. Your contribution of any size will help send a message to MoveOn.org that their extreme, destructive political tactics will not be accepted.
Democrats Nominate Rush Limbaugh?
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.
