We’ve designed a bumper sticker that will please everyone, no matter on what side of the political spectrum you find yourself.
Democrats can easily affix this bumper sticker to their car’s rear bumper…
Republicans can easily affix it to their car’s front bumper…
It’s comical to watch the Left flounder these days. One moment they’re praising blogs as a great check against MSM and the next they’re claiming blogs are nothing more than stupid parasites of opinion. And that’s just a single Newspaper.
Of course, you have to look at the context of the claims.
The praise is offered up for Left leaning blogs that barter in debunked conspiracies while the scorn is cast at Right leaning blogs that expose forged stories and real fraud in MSM…
…thanks to a patchwork system of machine and paper ballots, a vast and confusing array of irregularities are turning up in many different counties. That means little coherence and much chaos, propelling wild rumours around the cyberspace, along with legitimate accounts of trouble.
But is that any reason to discount the story? What little MSM reporting there is of the irregularities is done with the intent of discrediting any potential case, however flimsy, against certifying the election results.
Of course not. Afterall, it’s par for the Leftist course - weren’t you guys the ones that bought Rather’s line: “fake, but accurate.”
So let’s keep the election stories alive despite the fact that even John Kerry’s own spokesman has said, “I’d give my right arm for Internet rumours of a stolen election to be true, but blogging it doesn’t make it so.” That’s right. The guy with the single-biggest stake in the outcome of the election is saying, “Give it a rest.” But that’s not good enough for those wacky “journalists” on the Left. Keep digging. You may soon figure out those of us on the Right aren’t the ones digging your graves.
Of course elitists usually don’t have a clue what’s happening in the real world.
But, just like trigger happy celebrants in the Middle East, who have yet to figure out that what goes up must come down, they can’t see that, by firing up at us, they will also kill themselves.
I think the analogy is better represented as you being a suicide bomber. Sure, you’ll take a few of us when you leave this place… but there will be more of us around tomorrow to tell the living world what a moron you are.

Iraqi troops searching suspected terrorist hideouts in Fallujah discovered a laboratory with manuals on how to manufacture explosives and toxins � including anthrax, Iraq’s national security adviser said Thursday… Dawoud showed pictures of a shelf containing what he said were various chemicals.
But, but, but… that kinda stuff doesn’t exist in Iraq…
We welcome back to the area Senator Hillary Clinton (D., N.Y.), who has been spending so much time here in Little Rock lately that she’s practically joined the church choir! “I’m here spending time at my husband’s library,” she told the Lamp when we caught up with her after a Sunday camp meeting, “and of course, I always take time to worship God in as evangelical a way as is feasible, given time and location constraints. As you know, I consider myself an evangelical Christian, really a Christian conservative, if you want to know the truth, so it’s nice to be ‘home’ again in the South, which I really consider my quote-unquote home even though I live in New York most of the time. Well, Washington, D.C., most of the time, actually, but if I’m not there I’m in New York, of course, but always thinking about being here, in the South, my spiritual home, where I shared so many wonderful evangelical . . . moments and . . . events.
“Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush holds a substantial lead over Democratic challenger John Kerry in Tennessee�s presidential race, especially among the state�s many white, Evangelical Christians” - MTSU Summary of Election Findings
“Catholics and evangelical Christians are among swing voters key to this year’s presidential race, a new poll finds.” - NPR
“Christian evangelicals provided much of the passion and manpower for President Bush’s re-election.” - Houston Chronicle
“Within hours of Sen. John Kerry’s concession speech, some prominent evangelical leaders were taking credit for Bush’s re-election…” - Sacramento Bee
“Moral values propelled Bush: Views on abortion, marriage echoed with white evangelicals” - NC NewsObserver
I wonder…
Of course, let’s just look at what this “conservative evangelical” has to say on the issues:
-Keep abortion safe, legal and rare. (Jan 1999)-Must safeguard constitutional rights, including choice. (Oct 2000)-Remain vigilant on a woman�s right to chose. (Jan 2000)-Recommended by EMILY’s List of pro-choice women. (Apr 2001)-Rated 100% by NARAL, indicating a pro-choice voting record. (Dec 2003)-Don�t punish Brooklyn Museum for Sensation. (Oct 1999)-Rated 0% by the Christian Coalition: an anti-family voting record. (Dec 2003)
If the NBA coaches were as tough as our President…
President Bush stepped into the middle of a confrontation and pulled his lead Secret Service agent away from Chilean security officials who barred his bodyguards from entering an elegant dinner for 21 world leaders Saturday night. Click here for the video
They could keep these jackasses in line.
If this is true, it sure would impact those theories that Bush’s policy has made the world more unsafe:
BAGHDAD � Insurgents captured in Fallujah have told Iraqi military interrogators that most of those fighting in Fallujah were former security officers for the regime of Saddam Hussein.
The insurgents said Saddam organized special operations units, starting in 2001, to counter any foreign invasion in Iraq. Most of those units, the insurgents said, are still active in the Sunni Triangle. …
Officials said the Iraqi resistance appears to have changed tactics and no longer seeks a head-on clash with the U.S. military for the control of major cities. Instead, Saddam loyalists and foreign volunteers have launched attacks on police stations and other facilities meant to intimidate security forces and seize weapons and material.
The Inspiration for the Clinton Presidential Library?

How hard is it to understand the issue?
Those who say Iraq wasn’t part of the War on Terrorism apparently don’t understand the definition of “terrorism.”
It has long been established that Saddam paid bounties of $15,000 to $25,000 to the Palestinian families of the murderers. Hyde’s committee will reveal at the hearing that some of the reward money was deposited from illegal profits Saddam made by demanding 10 percent kickbacks on all the contracts of companies that did business with the U.N.’s Oil-for-Food program. Those funds were then deposited with other Iraqi money, such as Jordanian Oil-for-Food oil payments, into the Central Bank of Iraq account in the Rafidain Bank in Amman, Jordan. The funds were then transferred to another account in the bank controlled by Iraq’s ambassador to Jordan Sabah Yaseen. It was from Yaseen’s account that Saddam’s officials would cut and hand out checks to the homicide bombers’ families…
1. Oil For Food transaction between conspiring country and Iraq/Saddam.
2. 10% Kickback on each transaction deposited into Central Bank of Iraq account.
3. Funds transferred to Iraq’s ambassador to Jordan.
4. Checks cut and given to families of terrorists.
Do you still deny a connection between Saddam/Iraq and terrorism?
Then there are those who continue to say that George W. Bush has alienated our allies through stubborn arrogance or downright ignorance in the Iraqi war. But to say such a thing completely ignores the context behind our “allies” and their selfish and criminal actions:
[The Duelfer Report] shows how Saddam evaded U.N. sanctions from 1997 to 2003 by illicitly selling oil through other countries and bribing world leaders, up-and-coming politicians, journalists, businesses, even the U.N. itself. In the process he cleared $11 billion in illegal profits.
The report names names. Anyone who could help him regain weapons of mass destruction was a target. He settled on Russia, France and China � three of the five U.N. Security Council members that, with the stroke of a veto pen, could stop the U.N. from going to war or end economic sanctions against his country. …
[The list] includes Charles Pasqua, France’s former interior minister; Megawati Sukarnoputri, president of Indonesia; and Benon Sevan, former head of the U.N.’s Iraq sanctions program. Also named are a large number of Russian government officials, including Vladimir Putin’s Chief of Staff, Alexander Voloshin and fixers and the governments of Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Egypt and China.
A member of the French Parliament, according to a memo sent to Saddam in May 2002, “assured Iraq that France would use its veto in the U.N. Security Council against any American decision to attack Iraq.” That is, once bribed, France would stay bribed.
1. U.N. approves sanctions against Iraq after the 1990 Gulf War.
2. Oil For Food program instituted to help Iraqi citizens live under sanctions.
3. Saddam works with government officials from France, Russia and other countries to steal money from Oil For Food program.
4. Saddam intends to erode sanctions and reconstitute WMD programs using stolen money.
5. Saddam uses stolen money to pay for terrorism (see above).
6. U.S. in a post-9/11 world wants to disrupt Saddam’s ties to terrorism and insure he doesn’t get WMDs to use or provide to terrorists.
7. France vows to veto any action in U.N. Security Council relating to the use of force against Iraq in exchange for continued business.
With allies like this, who needs enemies? It certainly explains why Jacques Chirac is still criticizing the Iraq War.
Finally, there are some who still think the U.N. as a world body has credibility to do anything. Wrong.
“Witnesses at the Senate Governmental Affairs Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (search) told lawmakers Monday that Saddam got away with the scam because the Security Council made the mistake of letting him pick the buyers and sellers of Iraq’s oil, which in effect let Saddam nearly completely control the relief program” …
One official who allegedly received such [an oil] voucher was the Oil-for-Food program’s former director, Benon Sevan.
1. The U.N. imposes sanctions on Iraq.
2. The U.N. institutes a “humanitarian” program to aid innocent Iraqi citizens.
3. The U.N. essentially lets Saddam Hussein nearly completely control the program.
4. The Program’s former Director, Benon Sevan, is on saddam’s payroll.
It’s no wonder Iraq has become such a mess. It has nothing to do with “cowboy stubbornness” or “brash ignorance” by George W. Bush. Despite what the America haters and Bush haters keep spouting, the truth is that Saddam was sanctioned by a world body that would rather illegally deal with him than actually enforce the sanctions. The truth is that Saddam desired to rebuild his WMD programs and was getting close to completely eroding U.N. sanctions so he could accomplish his goal. The truth is our so-called “allies” were conspiring with Saddam and providing money to him which was, in turn, used to finance terrorism. The truth is the Bush administration was not only acting against a terror regime in Iraq, it was acting against conspiring nations like France, Russia and others.
Some say the circumstances surrounding Iraq were based on lies, manipulation and illegal actions by arrogant governments… I agree. Thank God George W. Bush had the fortitude to take a stand against it all.

By now you’ve heard the story about the Marine that shot the terrorist inside a Mosque this weekend. The major networks are stumbling over themselves to create “Abu Ghraib 2.”
cBS says, “The fatal shooting of a wounded and apparently unarmed man in a Fallujah mosque by a U.S. Marine angered Sunni Muslims in Iraq on Tuesday and raised questions about the protection of enemy fighters once they are out of action.” Maybe they’ll find some “fake but accurate” documents to offer al-Jazeera to help prosecute this brave soldier in the arab court of public opinion. Hurry up or you guys might just not be first to Blame America.
I can only imagine how giddy CNN was to be able to try to make this a widespread epidemic: “The human rights organization Amnesty International raised concerns about violations of the rules of war last week, after a British news program broadcast video of what it said was the killing of another wounded insurgent by U.S. troops.”
Of course, context goes a long way in stories like this. It’s quite ironic how those in MSM seem to like the “innocent until proven guilty” only when dealing with mass murders, child killers and terrorists, but claim a violation of some journlistic duty when affording the same courtesy to the very men and women fighting for our lives.
Look at the context around this story:
The shooting happened Saturday, one day after the Marine, who has not been identified, was wounded in the face and after another man in his unit was killed by the booby-trapped body of an insurgent.
and more context:
Amnesty also noted reports that insurgents have used mosques as fighting positions, and in one incident appear to have used a white flag to lure Marines into an ambush.
Now, go back and replay the scene inside the Mosque, where a fierce firefight had ensued just hours before and where this Marine, who’d almost been killed the day before, walked inside to find terrorists pretending to be dead. Would you be anxious to read Miranda rights or get close enough to the terrorist to pat him down?
Why do journalists continue to insist it’s ethical journalism to prosecute good people before the facts are all out (or to ignore any context surrounding the story) while at the same time claiming a duty to protect the rights of criminals and terrorists?
Afterall, they supported a soldier that killed a wounded insurgent 30 years ago.
Captain’s Quarters has more.
