Survivor Ratings and CIA Torture

Well, just two shorts weeks after all the controversy surrounding the "segregated" Survivor season all the fun is over. They are now mixed tribes again. Which proves my point...Germans love David Hasselhoff! Wait , no ...I mean, TV is all about the $$$. CBS cashed in on all that publicity and still ended up not really doing anything that controversial. Give the producer a raise! "Survivor: Cook Islands," CBS, 17.43 million viewers."

On another Survivor related note, I was reading this article that sort of light heartedly describes one of the challenges as well "better designed to get prisoners of war to talk", and it made me think. We (well some of us anyway), are such ninnies. The challaenge was "Each person strapped on a 15 pound weight, and trudged through knee-deep water around a course, with one tribe trying to catch the other. For any person who dropped out, a teammate had to carry their weight." and it occured to me. That is worse than any torture we put terror detainies through and there are a lot of other things in life that are as well. I have compiled a short list for your entertainment pleasure:

1. Driving in L.A. Rush Hour Traffic
2. Waking up every 2 hours during the night for a month straight to a crying baby (then having to breast feed it)
3. An IRS Audit
4. Standing in line for anything at the DMV
5. Listening to a Ted Kennedy Speech on the Senate Floor (OK maybe if your a Republican)
6. Property Taxes

...and I am sure I could think or more if I had the time. But the point is we really need to wake up as a country if we are electing people to office that want to give Terrorists the sames rights that we have to fair treatment and a jury trial. The argument that our soldiers will be mistreated if we use harsh tecniques just does not fly when you consider that they are already being treated poorly right now, without any change or increase/decrease in the amount of prisoner coersion. I think the last soldier of ours that got caught was shot through the head, had his throat slashed and then had his genitals cut off. Water boarding doesn't sound like such a bad idea to me after hearing that...You??

Peaceful islam at it again

I love Condi! She just kicked the sh*t out of any attempt at making that classified report released yesterday an election issue with this statement:

Asked about recently leaked internal U.S. intelligence estimates that claimed the Iraq war was fueling terrorist recruiting, Rice said: "Now that we're fighting back, of course they are fighting back, too."

"I find it just extraordinary that the argument is, all right, so they're using the fact they're being challenged in the Middle East and challenged in Iraq to recruit, therefore you've made the war on terrorism worse.

"It's as if we were in a good place on Sept. 11. Clearly, we weren't," she added.

"These are people who want to fight against us, and they're going to find a reason. And yes, they will recruit, but it doesn't mean you stop pursuing strategies that are ultimately going to stop them," Rice said.

Finally, someone in the Bush White House got a pair and said what really needed to be said all along. Even before this they have been accused numerous times of causing terrorism by our efforts in the Mid-East. As if they (terrorists) would all just stop hating us if we left them alone. GO Condi!

Here is the full article from the NY Post:

23 Ways to be a good Democrat in 2006

I know many of you will take this as a Right Wing jab, but I don't post this to instigate, I post this to allow you an opportunity(if you have not already)to investigate these things and see whether or not they are true. If you are an honest person and truly seeking to stand for the convictions you believe the Democratic party is all about, then this should be very educational. In the end though it is more tounge in cheek than anything, and I am sure that Democrats could make a list just as long of things like this that they believe to be true of Republicans. So, can you handle the "reflection"?

1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion.

2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity, and be willing to ignore all evidence to the contrary.

3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than US nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese and North Korean communists. Or ANY Nuclear technology in the hands of a rouge nation like Iran or North Korea.

4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.

5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical documented changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV's.

6. You have to believe that traditional gender roles are artificial but alternative gender roles and being homosexual are natural.

7. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding and has very little to do with Homosexuality and rampant IV drug use.

8. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th-graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex and sexuality.

9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.

10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

11. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make The Passion Of The Christ for financial gain only.

12. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen. Robert E. Lee, Thomas Edison and A.G. Bell.

15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

16. You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is normal and is a very nice person (Most of the time).

17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.

18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liars, drug addicts and sex offenders belong in counseling and are elligeble to hold government office.

19. You have to believe that homosexual parades and art expos displaying drag, transvestites, and beastiality should be constitutionally protected, but manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

2o. You have to believe that this message is a part of a vast, right wing conspiracy.

21. You have to believe that it's okay to give Federal workers Christmas Day off, but it's not okay to say "Merry Christmas" unless your put an X where the Christ used to be.

22. You have to believe that the basic human rights of one terrorist murderer are as or more important than stopping the next 9/11 from happening.

23. You have to believe that freedom of the press trumps our National Security

Too Little Too Late

...for the left to be outraged at the words of Ahmandinejad or Chavez. Our thanks to the distinguished Senator from New York Charlie Rangel and House Dem Leader Nancy Pelosi for speaking out and being the only ones to do so publically, but sorry Charlie! You can't just scoop the sh*t back into the horse! Hugo and Maqmood are getting their vitriol straight from the Moveon.org DNC playbook. Democrats have been saying much worse things about Bush for the last 5 years loud enough for the entire planet to hear them. The message is loud and clear from the democratic party, "We do not respect nor do we regard our own chief of state". So let me ask Nancy and Charlie a question... If you don't respect him, why should anyone else? For months/years the loudest (left leaning) media voices in our country have been lambasting everything from the way George Bush got elected, to his foreign and domestic policy, to his vacation time, to his faith and the list goes on. What do we expect the rest of the world to think? We are the standard for the civilized world and how we present ourselves will determine the way the rest of the world percieves us, including our President. You can't just say,

"If there is any criticism of President Bush, it should be restricted to Americans, whether they voted for him or not."

as Charlie Rangel did, and have that be good enough. Though I agree with Pelosi and Rangel that he should be unequivocallyand Nationaly shat upon for standing up at the UN General Assembly and saying such things, this should be a wake up call for the liberal wing of the DNC. News Flash!! They think its ok to say those things because you have made it acceptable to do so. You have made it acceptable to infer that our president is a moron and a lying, power hungry criminal. They don't just pull this stuff out of the air, they hear it straight from your mouths!!

Bush Is Stupid

Bush Is A War Crimnal

Bush Stole The Election

Bush Is A Racist

"Constructive" Democratic Criticism

DNC Chairman Insults "Chief Of State"

Bush Is A Liar

Bush Is Evil

Bush Is A Nazi

So thanks Nancy, Charlie...but no thanks unless you are willing to apply that standard to your own party and wake up to the fact that you are more the cause than the solution!

Things That Make Tim Go Hmmmm?

Fox News Channel is my favorite news station for a variety of reasons and I watch frequently. Thusly I have noticed a disturbing trend of discrimination toward female news corresspondents with, simple, "normal" last names. Or at the very least an affinity for women anchors with peculiar and/or long, last names. I have no opinion on the matter other than to say it is curious and worthy of further scrutiny. I wonder if at its inception the two top executives at Fox had a bet or something. See the proof of my claim below:

Alisyn Camerota - Fox News anchor and host of Fox and Friends

Lis Weihl - Fox News anchor

Kimberly Guilfoile - Fox News anchor

Molly Henneberg - Fox News anchor

Carol Iovanna - Fox News anchor

Laurie Dhue - Fox News anchor

Martha MacCallum - Fox News anchor

Uma Pemmaraju - Fox News anchor

Anita Vogel - Fox News anchor

Donna Fiducia - Fox News anchor

Kiran Chetry - Fox News anchor

Rudi Bakhtiar - Fox News anchor

Harris Faulkner - Fox News anchor

Brenda Buttner - Fox News anchor (Not particularly complicated but I threw it in for fun anyway)

...and Last but certainly not least Greta Van Susteren - Host of On The Record

You may think I have too much time on my hands or watch way too much news, but I have waited a long time to bring this information to light.

Anchor names... Right Wing Conspiracy or Simple Coincidence? We report, you decide!!

Hat Tip to Wuzzadem and Malkin for this awesome link

I am going to use it because it makes my point and the point of every other sane person on earth who understands...

It is time for this nonsense to stop. When will decent people stand up once and for all and tell these ridiculous people ENOUGH!!!

The idea seems to be escaping all but a very few that you can't call yourself a peaceful religon and then when someone else challenges that statement, threaten to behead them. My brain hurts just considering the moronic iggnorance it would take to believe such a thing. Look, lets forget about why they do it because that really does not matter right now. The problem is what they do. Greater Islam cannot continue to react like a mass of spoiled, petulant children everytime somebody huuts deaw wittle feewings and then turn around and demand the respect of the world. The very idea that there is any justification or lack of exposure of these kind of acts for what they are is sureal. We are talking about educated, well rounded individuals who just let this mess continue unchecked. To my knowledge not even one country (including the US) has formaly stood up and said unequivocaly, "We wil not tolerate your stupid religous tantrums any longer". "Stop now or you won't be able to sit down for a week".

Message to Muslims: My 2 year old called, she wants her self control back...

Two Important Bills before Congress

Hat Tip to STACLU for all the hard work in combatting those who would take away our religous freedom.

Good News: PERA goes to the House floor!

As you may or may not have heard, the Public Expression of Religion Act (PERA), which would curb the likes of the ACLU from obtaining taxpayer money in the event of adverse rulings regarding the removal of religious symbols and plaques of the Commandments, passed by voice vote out of the House Judiciary Committee and now moves to the floor for a full House vote.

Needless to say, the ACLU and Americans (Dis) United (AU) are not happy about this. You can read their press releases by clicking here and here.

TAKE ACTION

Since Congress is set to adjourn for the year at the end of this month, we urgently need you to contact House Speaker Dennis Hastert to schedule a vote on this bill. His phone number in Washington is (202) 225-2976 and his fax is (202) 225-0697. His number in Illinois is (630) 406-1114 and his fax is (630) 406-1808. Please be respectful when you call or fax and urge him to allow House Bill 2679 for a vote.

More info on Speaker Hastert can be obtained by clicking here.

The companion bill, Senate Bill 3696, in the U.S. Senate is sponsored by Kansas Senator Sam Brownback and is in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Unlike the House Judiciary Committee in which passage sailed thru without dissent, the Senate Judiciary Committee is where we must raise our voices since Chairman Sen. Arlen Specter, according to Rees Lloyd of the American Legion, is said to oppose the legislation.

Please contact Sen. Specter to allow a vote in committee and to support SB 3696. His Washington phone is (202) 224-4254 and his fax is (202) 228-1229. His Philadelphia office phone is (215) 597-7200 and the fax is (215) 597-0406.

More info on Sen. Specter can be obtained by clicking here.

Of course, we need you to call or fax your Congressmen and women to urge them to vote YES on HB 2679 and your two U.S. senators to vote YES on SB 3696. If possible, please ask the aide you reach how their lawmaker would vote and to have that lawmaker release a statement as to their position.

If you do not know who your elected officials are, click here.

If you wish, our friends at the American Legion has set up their own Action Alert page which contains information and talking points which you are free to use when you call your Congressional and senatorial leaders. There is also a section to report the results of your calls. If you do use these features, let us know how they worked out for you.

Hezbollah Uses Jedi Mind Trick

Amnesty accused Hezbollah of possible war crimes during the 34 day war between it and Israel.The terror group's representatives responded saying,

"We do not deny that we have bombarded Israeli cities, settlements and infrastructure. But this was always a reaction," he told Al-Jazeera television. "It was a natural reaction. When a state is invaded, it must defend itself."

It was not clear Thursday what Fadlallah meant by the word "state" since by its own admission Hezbollah represents no state or specific entity to begin with. It was also not clear if the terrorist leader was including this obvious crime against humanity, or this one when he eluded to "reacting" to invasion.

Hassan Fadlallah said he learned the Jedi Mind Trick from watching Star Wars and wonders how long it will keep working on the rest of the world before someone catches on...

Too Bad So Sad!

Well it look like its finally the end for Stuart Smalley Radio or "Air America" for those born after 1983. Stop The ACLU and Malkin have a good round up including from Malkin every step on their way to this inevitable demise.
