Patriotism or Propaganda?

When reading Michael Yon's blog, I was surprised to see there was so much difference between his slideshow and that of MSNBC. Take a look at both and vote. Unfortunately, MSNBC didn't select Michael's pic as one to vote on, although it does appear in the Editor's Choice.
There is also nowhere you can tell them that they aren't showing all the pics to vote on. Anyway, take a look as BOTH slideshows, and let the music play in both.




Which one do you think is more upbeat?

Finally, a Judge shows some Cajones

After seeing the American Communist Liberals Union walk all over the common man in the interest of their anti-american agenda, it's refreshing to see a judge finally tell it like it is and throw these idiots out of court.

They don't and never will, speak for me.

A U.S. appeals court today upheld the decision of a lower court in allowing the inclusion of the Ten Commandments in a courthouse display, hammering the American Civil Liberties Union and declaring, "The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state."

Attorneys from the American Center for Law and Justice successfully argued the case on behalf of Mercer County, Ky., and a display of historical documents placed in the county courthouse. The panel voted 3-0 to reject the ACLU's contention the display violated the Establishment Clause of the Constitution.

The county display the ACLU sued over included the Ten Commandments, the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Magna Charta, the Star Spangled Banner, the National Motto, the Preamble to the Kentucky Constitution, the Bill of Rights to the U. S. Constitution and a picture of Lady Justice.

And...

Writing for the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Richard Suhrheinrich said the ACLU's "repeated reference 'to the separation of church and state' ... has grown tiresome. The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state."

Suhrheinrich wrote: "The ACLU, an organization whose mission is 'to ensure that ... the government [is kept] out of the religion business,' does not embody the reasonable person."

Nancy Pelosi just doesn't "Get It"

Nancy's response to President Bushs' speech:

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 /U.S. Newswire/ — House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement tonight in response to President Bush’s speech on Iraq:

“Tonight the President acknowledged more of the mistakes he has made in Iraq, but he still does not get it. Iraq did not present an imminent threat to the security of the United States before he began his war of choice. The President’s speech tonight was further evidence that after almost three years, he still does not understand that crucial fact.

”President Bush persists in pursuing a flawed policy that has not made the American people safer nor made the Middle East more secure. It is time for a new direction in Iraq — not more of the same."

Her direction would be the direction of "retreat."

I bet she didn't even listen to the speech. If she did, she didn't "listen." Bush said to leave now would hurt the image if the US as a strong ally and create mistrust all over the world. It would also hurt all the troops that gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Man, I cannot believe such self-involved egotists live and breath in the white house.

Thanks be to Little Green Footballs.

They should not call what they did an "execution."
They should call it a "Post-Birth Abortion."

Day in the Life of Al-Zarqawi

One of my favorites, Iowahawk, has posted another day in the life of Al-Zarqawi. His stuff is hilarious. Here's the whole article.

Here's an excerpt:

Shit, I though I was gonna spray some Mecca-Cola through my nose when I saw Khalid behind them, doing that throat-slash thingy with his hook, but I kept it together. "Sure! Sounds like a plan, guys! Umm, why don't you go with Khalid. He'll take you out back and have you fill out the transfer forms." Long story short, they're back in Paris. Torsos, at least.

It's Like Staring at a Car Wreck

You know it's wrong but you just can't stop staring.

That seems to be the mindset of USA Today and the Associated Press. They just can't bring themselves to report anything positive about Iraq. Oh they did recently, but not until they reported the negative first.

Posted by Noel Sheppard on December 12, 2005 - 12:49.
As reported yesterday by NewsBusters, a brand new ABC News/TIME poll depicted Iraqis as being very optimistic about themselves and the future of their country. The Associated Press via USA Today is sharing this information with its readers by focusing attention on the negatives first. The article, entitled “Most Iraqis Oppose U.S. Troops, Poll Says,” began:

“Most Iraqis disapprove of the presence of U.S. forces in their country, yet they are optimistic about Iraq's future and their own personal lives, according to a new poll.

“More than two-thirds of those surveyed oppose the presence of troops from the United States and its coalition partners and less than half, 44%, say their country is better off now than it was before the war, according to an ABC News poll conducted with Time magazine and other media partners.”

Then the article addressed the positives:

Two Reasons I'm Glad Bush Won in 2004

John Kerry:

"And there is no reason that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the--of--the historical customs, religious customs. Whether you like it or not--Iraqis should be doing that."

Howard Dean:

"The idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong,"

Thanks whatdoyamean Dean...our troops over there standing in harm's way everyday just so you can say something assinine like that, really appreciate you setting the effort back by about a year.

Add to these, most any public statement by Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, and/or Barbara Boxer (to name a few) and you know why I'm glad Bush won in 2004.

Now, on to life.

You Best Source of Information on the War

Most people of the "left" persuasion read a story from the Main Stream Media (MSM) that says the war has gone wrong, Bush lies, and the Hildebeast is ready to take over as President, and they immediately form an opinion, fire up their computers and start the Bush bashing.
What they don't know is there is a large reservoir of people in the thick of it all in Iraq and Afghanistan that have their own blogs. Their blogs are called Milblogs" or "Military Blogs" and they are the best source of the truth you are gonna get.
BlackFive today talks about the 2005 Weblog awards that is going on. It also lists the best military blogs in one spot.

Go there, and vote if you want, but the main thing...read these blogs...then you can show your "knowledge" in a more informed way.

Am I just getting old or what?

I have been watching Saturday Nite Live and I have not seen one thing funny yet.
It used to be funny but I just can't relate. Every rare once in awhile, I hear or see something fleetingly funny, then it's gone.

It was good once. At least it's finally in High Definition.

Cream Reunion

Man, it has been a long time since I wished I was stoned. I'm watching the Cream reunion on PBS.
...closing my eyes....
remembering those times....
funny how some songs just plant you right back in a forgotten time.

Cool

Fighting for Their Cause

I heard Michael Savage say something yesterday that was profound (imagine that).
He said,
"If they are willing to die for their cause and we are not willing to kill for our survival, then we are doomed to fail (paraphrased)."

Makes sense

Look into the faces of these Children

and tell me we aren't doing any good in Iraq:

Thank you to Michael Yon.

A Joke so Stupid, It's Funny....Maybe Not

Once upon a time, there was a goodly king. He ruled over a vast land filled with happy subjects and life in abundance. But not everyone was happy. The count was jealous and wanted to be king. Everytime he mentioned it, the king would just tell him to go away.
One night, the king did his usual routine, took a bath, brushed his teeth, placed his crown on the nightstand, and read his favorite Stephen King novel until he fell asleep.
The next morning, his crown was gone!
He immediately knew that the count had taken his crown. He called the count into his chambers and told him to return the crown. Being the kind, benevolent king that we was, he offered the count the chance to fess up and return the crown and nothing would happen.
The count refused.
So, the king said, "You give me no choice, I must call the tribunal." The count just shrugged.
The tribunal met the next day and the king once again offered the count the chance to return the crown and nothing would happen.
The count once again refused.
The King had no other choice but to bring the count in front of the kingdom's subjects and administer justice. The next day, the king and the count stood before the entire kingdom. The king, being the kind king that we was, once again asked the count to return his crown, no questions asked.
The count refused.
So, the king had no other choice but to condemn the count to death.
The next morning, the subjects gathered in the square while the count was marched up to the execution platform. The executioner stood silently, waiting for orders.
The kind king, once again told the count, "Now look count, I know you took my crown. We don't have to do this. Just return the crown and we can forget all this nonsense."
The count refused.
So, with a heavy heart, the king ordered the executioner to proceed. The executioner slowly raised his huge axe in the air, and started his downward thrust just as the count yelled, "Wait, I will give the...."
Too late.

So, what's the moral of this story?













Don't hatchet the count before he chickens.

Now I know why Casinos will not be in Texas anytime soon

I like to play slot machines and video poker. I don't let it get away from me and I'm not homeless because of it. I do enjoy it as a fun outlet for stress. I do not however, enjoy having to drive fouir hours one way just to play.
Since a lot of states have started building casinos all around, I often wondered why Texas hasn't built any. I mean c'mon, we have bingo, lotto, megamillions, horse and dog tracks, and eight-liners in some places, what's the deal with not having casinos?
I now know it's because of Lousiana lobbyists and probably the Lousiana Gaming Commision. Ther're lining the pockets of our members of congress, to keep it out of Texas.
Every time I have been able to go to Lousiana for a day of fun, I can't help but notice the license plates in the parking lots of those casinos. I am not kidding, I bet 90 percent of the cars have Texas plates. And, whenever I ask anyone where they are from, it's usually Houston.
So, can you imagine what would happen to those great casinos if we opened some up here in Texas? They would fold in about a year.

Here is a recent example of members of Congress getting caught red-handed with their hands if the cookie jar.

Lawmakers Acted on Heels of Abramoff Gifts
Nov 17, 9:20 AM (ET)

By JOHN SOLOMON and SHARON THEIMER

(AP) U.S. Interior Secretary Gale Norton speaks to the Juneau and Alaska Chamber of Commerce, Monday,...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Nearly three dozen members of Congress, including leaders from both parties, pressed the government to block a Louisiana Indian tribe from opening a casino while the lawmakers collected large donations from rival tribes and their lobbyist, Jack Abramoff.

Many intervened with letters to Interior Secretary Gale Norton within days of receiving money from tribes represented by Abramoff or using the lobbyist's restaurant for fundraising, an Associated Press review of campaign records, IRS records and congressional correspondence found.

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid sent a letter to Norton on March 5, 2002, also signed by Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev. The next day, the Coushattas issued a $5,000 check to Reid's tax-exempt political group, the Searchlight Leadership Fund. A second Abramoff tribe sent another $5,000 to Reid's group. Reid ultimately received more than $66,000 in Abramoff-related donations between 2001 and 2004.

In the midst of the congressional letter-writing campaign, the Bush administration rejected the Jena's casino on technical grounds. The tribe persisted, eventually winning Interior approval but the casino now is tied up in a court dispute.

Congressional ethics rules require lawmakers to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest in performing their official duties and accepting political money.

So, can you truthfully say our so-called "leaders" have our security and well-being in mind? Sorry, ain't happening.

Protect the Afghan Kids this Winter

There is a request from a soldier for us to send children's winter clothes to his address in Afghanistan. The original request was through Soldier's Angels but I picked it up at BlackFive.

Here is a excerpt:

What I really need is children's winter clothing...jackets, gloves and boots (boys and girls). The winters in Afghanistan are so incredibly brutal on the kids that are in the outlining areas. We want to try to help as many of the kids here as humanly possible. If you could...send them to my military address below, that would be the best way. The nights are already getting down into the thirtys and when the first rain and snow hits, it will be very difficult to reach some of the villages.

Thanks so much and God Bless You!

Haven't been posting lately 'cause my wife has been battling Chron's disease and has undergone another operation. That's two since I have known her these last ten years. She doesn't deserve this but she will get through it. I'll be posting again soon.

Man Claims he has Seen Noah's Ark

Some believe this 2003 satellite image shows Noah's Ark (courtesy: DigitalGlobe)

The Tulsa, Okla., man says his faith in God led him to believe in the biblical story of Noah's Ark, but his trip to a remote area in eastern Turkey led him to accept the historic vessel was genuine.

Val Smith says he traveled to Mt. Ararat recently to see what a 1960 Life magazine article suggested was the final resting place for the Ark, though the journey was an attempt to solidify, not validate, his faith.


"If God's word is true, then these remains are out there somewhere," he told KTUL-TV in Tulsa. "There's some of this actually happening."

When he arrived, he found a number of artifacts – iron rivets, petrified wood and ancient tar – he says are all a part of the Ark.

The Office of the President

It seems nowadays that the image I have of the presidency has been distorted.

Before, the president could enjoy doing a second term and getting a lot ot things accomplished.
But, from Nixon on, it seems in the first four years, the President has to do al lot of things to get re-elected. He then spends the other four years fighting off the indictments and accusations. The respect for the presidency and the president's image is damaged because of this.

Have you seen that too?
I think it all comes from whatever party that is not in power at the time.
The Democans did it to Nixon,to Reagan. They would have gutted the senior Bush if he had been re-elected. They're doing it to Bush Jr. now.
The Republicrats have done it to Carter and Clinton (remember Kenneth Starr?) It seems whoever is elected, the other party spends all its effort demeaning and undermining the president. They have been successful.

There have been only two presidents to which this doesn't apply; Ford and Johnson (LBJ). They did only one term and weren't re-elected or refused to run again (LBJ).

This is not good for our country.

It seems all we see and hear from the media in a president's second term is who is indicted, who is accused, and who is expected to resign. The president seems to have to spend the rest of his second term fighting to stay above water while the alligators pull him from below.
It's ineffective and distracts the administration from doing its job. And when things get missed, the snowball affect kicks in. Everything snowballs, and the president assumes lame duck status.
C'mon, knock it off...quit whining...and let the president do his job.
