Bad News for the Death Watch Liberals

Harry Whittington has been released from the hospital and has done a press conference. As I expected he came across as a real gentleman and he expressed regret about the turmoil Vice President Cheney has had to endure. I'm real happy that he is all right and on his way to recovery. That's more than I can say for the bloodthirsty liberal vultures who have been on a death watch just waiting for the chance to bring Vice President Cheney up on manslaughter charges. I hope America has been watching these people over the past 3 days.

Activist Judge Smackdown

There's a great article over at StopTheACLU about the activist judge whose ordering the turnover of Top Secret NSA files to leftists. Once again an appointed judge goes beyond the scope of their authority this time putting America at risk. I expect that this judge will get smacked down by a superior court but it makes me realize that we have more to fear from leftist judges like this than we do from someone at the NSA listening in on a phone call.

Stop the Port Sellout

This is an article today at World Net Daily about a recent merger deal approved by the government's Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States that would turn over control of several major east cost U.S. ports to Emirati firm, Dubai Ports World. The ports involved are located in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Jersey, New Orleans and Miami. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has known ties to terrorists and the 9/11 hijackers. As the New York Post reports:

Dubai Ports, after all, is owned by the United Arab Emirates, whose banking system - considered the commercial center of the Arab world - provided most of the cash for the 9/11 hijackers. Indeed, much of the operational planning for the World Trade Center attacks took place inside the UAE. And while the Bush folks now consider the UAE a major ally in the war against terror, the Treasury Department has been stonewalled by the emirates, and other Arab countries, in trying to track Osama bin Laden's bank accounts. The new leader of Dubai, one of the seven small countries that make up the UAE, has said all the right things about fighting radical Islam since 9/11. But this remains very much an Islamist nation, where preaching any religion other than Islam is prohibited.

When questioned by World Net Daily, Presidential press secretary Scott McClellan responded with:

Well, my understanding is that this went through the national security review process under [the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States], at the Department of Treasury. That is the agency that is responsible for overseeing such matters. And this includes a number of national security agencies – the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, the Justice, among others, and there is a rigorous review that goes on for proposed foreign investments for national security concerns

He then went on to say that any questions about the specifics of this issue should be directed to the Department of Treasury. Well I 'm sorry but I just can't imagine how our Federal government can have such a flippant attitude about the turnover of control of these ports to a company in the UAE. President Bush has the authority to stop this deal and he should.

New Attack on the Boy Scouts

This one comes from a group of agnostics out of San Diego, Ca. The full article appers on World Net Daily. These agnostics sued the city of San Diego in protest of a lease of parkland in Balboa Park and Fiesta Island to the Boy Scouts of America. Their claim is that the Boy Scouts are a religion and that the lease violates the Establishment of Religion Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution, and that they are suffering "inferior usage" because they don't want to have to apply for permits, or pay usage fees to the Boy Scouts. And of course a federal judge in San Diego granted a summary judgment to the agnostics, finding that the Boy Scouts are a "religion" because of the Boy Scout Oath which includes doing one's duty to "God and my country". An appeal has been filed with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Pasadena, Ca. The city of San Diego is not part of the appeal. No these weasels settled with the ACLU to avoid further expense, agreeing to terminate the lease and give the ACLU $940,000.00 in attorney fees. Oh and did I mention that many other groups lease parkland from the city of San Diego including Jewish groups, one of which conducts Sabbath services on parkland. When I was a boy, I was a Cub Scout and went on to become a Boy Scout. This organization provides wonderful opportunities for young men to learn about nature and to test themselves in a healthy uplifting environment. This law suit is nothing more than another ACLU sponsored attack against the Boy Scouts of America because of their policy to exclude homosexuals and protect our children from their influence. One of the agonstics, Michael Breen is a Web/Internet consultant in San Diego and has a web site. I have already contacted this low life liberal and I encourage everyone to do the same. We conservatives are in a battle with the liberal left of this country and it's important that we acknowledge that and take the necessary steps to fight back. The liberals know that their ideaology is rejected by most Americans and this is proven during every election. They have resolved themselves to use the courts and activist judges to legislate their ideaology onto America. We fight back by communicating with our elected officials and by electing politicians who will appoint judges who interpret the Constitution and do not legislate from the bench.

Godfather Cheney

I am just sickened by the constant barrage of the MSM in their biased coverage of the Vice President's accidental shooting of his hunting partner. There is so much more going on in the world right now, like I don't know, Iran's quest for a nuke or the hypocritical muslims protesting the cartoons. Just when I thought I had seen the bottom of the barrel of their coverage I came across this column in the Raleigh, NC, News & Observer written by Barry Saunders. This knucklehead liberal actually believes that in mafia fashion, Vice President Cheney's errant "shotgun blast to Whittington's face was meant to convey that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby had better bite his tongue and forget about testifying against Cheney, his former boss, in the Valerie Plame spy case." This is beyond the pale. This guy helps perpetuate the notion that liberals have completely lost their way and are a dying breed. Good riddens.

Thank you "Pappy" Boyington

Paradosis blog has an excellent commentary going about an issue that has come up at the University of Washington. It seems that the student senate there has rejected a memorial for alumnus Gregory "Pappy" Boyington of the famed WWII "Black Sheep Squadron". The senate is concerned that a military hero who shot down enemy planes was not the right kind of person to represent the school. Student senator Jill Edwards said she "didn't believe a member of the Marine Corps was an example of the sort of person the University of Washington wanted to produce." Ashley Miller, another senator, argued "many monuments at the University of Washington already commemorate rich white men." Who do these elitist snot nosed brats think they are? For one thing, this man Gregory Boyington was not rich. He sacrificed much for this country and his memory does not deserve to be cast in this way. Jill Edwards and Ashley Miller in my mind represent what has gone very wrong with this country. Their attempts to revise history are simply appauling and the Staff at the University of Washington should step in here and make this right.

Mary Mapes Learned Nothing

There is a Newsmax Article about Mary Mapes and her continued lashing out at conservative blogs and blaming us truthsayers for her demise at CBS. She obviously has learned nothing from the whole affair. For one thing, far from her reality is the expectation that people have that reporters (and their producers) validate a story before releasing it for mass consumption. Not only was this not done, but Ms. Mapes stands by her conviction that it is not necessary to validate a story before releasing it. Her elitist attitude gives us a peek into how the mainstream media operates. And just think, before the internet and and FOX news this type of garbage was the daily fare on the major news networks.
