Oh jeez, Cowboy, surely you jest?!! OK, here we go: the Right always brags about its power and rankings in the media, except when it discusses the media's purported 'liberal bias'. I'll just refer you to the "NewsBusters" article "Top 100 Radio Host List, Dominated by Conservatives", which begins "Talkers Magazine has put out their 2008 Heavy Hundred list rating radio talk show hosts across the country and one thing is obvious, conservatives still reign supreme in radio". Rush estimates he reaches 20 million listeners a week, and he recently signed a $400 million deal. And he's just one person. Fox has done extremely by actively promoting partisan talk show hosts, with the exception of Shepard Smith, who doesn't always tow the line.

No doubt you're right about the nuclear issue. Someone should have told the US that when it decided to pursue the secret Manhattan project. Of course, no one would listen to those 'crazy people' who don't like atomic weaponry. Once one country has it, it doesn't take long for Pandora's box to be opened.

Have faith. I'm a lefty with over 50 years on the firing line. But I am a classical liberal not some wet-behind-the-ears "levo-lib".Furthermore, political correctness' best days are behind it. And I am a resolute champion of Robert Spencer and Walid Phares. Some of us lefties believe in the old school values of rigorous honesty wherever it goes.

I watched the ceremony today on Fox News. As a veteran, and as an American, I was put off by the 'spontaneous' cheers, in young voices, as the president was introduced. Have we lost all decorum now?

I thought back to other memorials I have personally attended, with the young properly 'educated' in proper behavior. Does this mean now that our youth are clueless -- and antisocial -- idiots? Should we take note of all of their recording devices, say, at any traumatic event? Perhaps we should also record their misbehaviors with such devices of our own?

Then, I remembered "Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Barrack Hussein Obama," and that's when I understood what was happening. Those thralls disguising themselves as teachers are probably SO proud!

So, what are WE going to do about this? The MSM is withholding news from the general public, the ruling regime is withholding information from the general public and our freedom is being stripped away.
Are we going to sit around and bitch about it? Or are we going to fight against the "political machine" that has a strangle hold on our Constitutional rights!?!?
VOTE ALL THE GOOD OLE BOYS OUT! Work for every candidate who isn't endorsed by MSM and the Washington beltway!
Get out to EVERY tea party event you can...write letters to the "elect" and let them know their days in office are numbered!
Tell them we are as MAD AS HELL AND WE AREN'T GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!
There is a pervasive evil in our country and it's time to shut it down!

Being that so-called 'progressives' are sliding into alliance with Muslims (like the 'more advanced' Europeans) you can only expect them to run interference against any criticism of Muslims or Islam.

What US aggression was saddam responding to when he invaded, raped, plundered, and tried to annex Kuwait? That was one war, one that wasn’t ended until the GWCFA was finally enforced and saddam was toppled in ’03.

Saddam failed to comply with the GWCFA, an act of war, and attacked US aircraft daily for years (or do they not count?), thus perpetrating thousands of individual attacks, thousands of acts of war against the USA. He also ran an operation to assassinate a former US President, which constitutes an attack on the USA, and yet another act of war.

Then there’s those pesky terrorists saddam was so thick with. Saddam was harboring both abu abbas and abu nidal (until 9/11, only hezzbolla had more US blood on their hands than abu nidal), along with aq terrorist zarqawi. What was your standard on Afghanistan again?

You can argue America was the aggressor in Afghanistan only if you ignore the fact that aq and the Taliban were symbiotic, and intermarried to cement it, making them family. You’d look ignorant, but trying to claim saddam never attacked us shows that, at best, anyway.

I wonder if The Nation, CNN, the former "major" networks ABC, CBS and NBC would opine on the motivations of a white skin head with ties to the Klan and posting racist comments on websites who just put bullets in 50 defenseless black people? I'm guessing they wouldn't be quite as sanguine about "jumping to conclusions" in that case.

Saturated? That's a hoot, you're talking about one cable channel, some websites, and AM radio. Is your TV stuck on Fox, your radio on AM?

Thanks for the laugh.

Again, (Hay pendejo guerdo), I don't necessarily believe that. If the
standard for going to war is, if the U.S. is attacked, and let's assume
that is the standard. Then if Iraq is an example of going to war with a
country that did not attack us, then WWI is an even better example. You
just don' like WWI mentioned, because it sets precedent for going to war
against people who did not actually attack us. I am notsaying it is good or
bad. Your mention of the Lusitania is irrelevant.

Oh, and thanks for the clarification regarding relevancy.

Re: Our Brain Dead Country – by David Horowitz

davidhorowitz — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:16:47 -0000

Did I hear your logic right? "...that if it is true that Iraq did not attack the U.S., then it is also true that Germans did not attack the U.S. pre WWI?" Why bring in WWI? And exactly what in the world is the parallel? Again, read my post above, re: the Lusitania and U.S. involvement in WWI. I assume you believe that Saddam Hussein masterminded 9/11? Apparently Bush/Cheney agreed with you, but when they were unable to produce the link, as we learned from a report recently, they tortured people to try to create a link, or an appearance of one. Saddam was an a-hole, and no doubt wished the U.S. harm, after being attacked by Bush Senior and Bill Clinton, but he didn't instigate or plan 9/11. If you think he did, it puts you in the right-wing version of the 9/11 'Truthers'. Have fun out there, hanging on to the fringe....

BTW, you don't get to decide what is relevant or not.

Re: Our Brain Dead Country – by David Horowitz

coyote3 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:03:44 -0000

I am only going to do this one time. It is very relevant. Whether or not
the circumstances in pre WWI and Iraq were the same or not is irrelevant.
The point was, that if it is true that Iraq did not attack the U.S., then it
is also true that Germans did not attack the U.S. pre WWI.

None of you people know anything about the military. One this scumbucket had not been deplotyed ever. Secondly he is an "Army Psychologist" he is bs support staff and that is a REMF position. ThMost of these guys never deploy and those that do deploy are no where near any so called "combat". Only infantry trully overwelhmingly deal with combat only thatn a rare attack from say a a mortar attack of car bombing of some building where they being HQ, Support, and other "agencies" or etc. operate out of. Support staf rarely if ever have enemy contact even in "war zones".....I'm saying all of this because of all the stupid propaganda and bullshit know nothings of the media and the public at large as to military operations, functions, and structure. Add on to that the FACT again that he never spent one day deployed overseas for any reason anywhere muchless to Tiraq or Afghanistan.

Activism and rebellion that can be exploit to promote either quietism or revolt in shia islam. Int he optimistic side of a suicide bomber, these kind of motivation speak of the courage and heroism of a righteous leader who challenges powerful forces, regardless of the consequences of their belief.

Linda Rivera is a man. Why he uses a female name that's just his problem. He always copies and pastes idiotic positions.

Mr. "Linda Rivera" is a Serb who wants us to forget that "Christian" Serbs have been and are good friends with Iran and other anti-American forces in the Middle East.

You want proof just look how Serbia voted in the recent resolutions against Iran in UN. Or look at the support they are getting from Chavez and Gaddafi

Weren't the "Christian" Serbs who prepared the Iraqi air defense in 2003?

Linda you think Americans are stupid don't you?

Not particularly relevant. We all know that the Germans had re-initiated unrestricted submarine warfare. And we know that the sinking of the Lusitania from New York to Britain was the spark for U.S. entry to the war, although it was not the only U.S. ship sunk. Of course, from the German perspective, there were no 'neutral' ships - or at least, that those ships deemed 'neutral' from our standpoint were in fact not so. And here we return to your 'example'. The Lusitania, we now know, was doing precisely what the Germans charged it with doing - smuggling arms bound for Britain. I'm not making a value judgement on that issue one way or the other, and don't particularly care. But since you're making the point, it could reasonably be argued that the U.S. used civilians as shields and posed an imminent threat to Germany through an illicit arms transfer. But all of this is not particularly relevant, nor parallel, to the Iraq example.

It is quixotic to think American institutions including but not limited to the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and armed forces can be restored by force of reason, debate, politics, intellectual or popular literature. Everyone of the signers of the Constitution, fifty plus were confessing Christians and many perhaps most ordained Christian ministers. The two that were the least god fearing, Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, were nevertheless more god fearing than most Christian pastors are today. One of the first acts of the United States Government was to print tens of thousands of Bibles and direct that they be used in all schools, everywhere. Worship services where held every Sunday and lead by our Founding Fathers in the Capital even in the Supreme Court.The Bible was the bedrock of The Republic and openly and frequently made reference to. The Christian Faith was the source of American Exceptionalism. Indeed, Scripture warns us that "Unless the Lord build the house, it is built in vain." It is the "mark" of the godless that they have no fear of God. A man can be first among men, the wisest of sages but the Jewish Scriptures say such a man, nevertheless, is a fool if he says there is no God. The holy fear of God is the foundation of wisdom. All to say, that all the fine words, intellectual power and hard work will not redeem American if it is not accompanied with humility and repentance before God. Abraham Lincoln in 1862 or 1863 called for a National Day of Humiliation and Prayer stating the war was being lost because the people had become to proud to pray.
