Air America’s Rachael Maddow on Pundit Review Radio. Needless to say, we couldn’t exactly reach agreement on the Bush Lied line of arguement. It was a lively fun discussion and we hope to have Rachael back on the show. Enjoy!
Al Gore is such a terrible politician. Does he think it helps him to compete with stories about the bombings in Jordan or terrorism in Iraq when he’s shoveling this nonsense?
Does this help the Democrats convince the public that they are the party we should hand the war on terror over to?
Al Gore, November 14, 2005
“I don’t want to diminish the threat of terrorism at all, it is extremely serious, but on a long-term global basis, global warming is the most serious problem we are facing.”
Tell that to these people. Or these.
Hey Al, when was the last time a sunburn chopped someone’s head off?
Minutes after President Bush awoke from his slumber to actually defend himself, the Democrats leapt to every available microphone to denounce using Veteran’s Day for political reasons.
INDC Journal has a wonderfully short yet devastating reminder of the left’s hypocrisy.
This is why I love blogs so.
Barak Obama = Politically Correct Priorities When Fighting Terrorism
WASHINGTON — Sen. Barack Obama, the U.S. Senate’s only black member, criticized another lawmaker from Illinois on Wednesday for published comments on discrimination against young Arabs.
Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk was at an event last weekend at Northwestern University when he was asked about the difficulties of the visa process for immigrants. He was quoted by the Chicago Sun-Times as saying: “I’m OK with discrimination against young Arab males from terrorist-producing states. I’m OK with that.”
“I think that when we look at the threat that’s out there, young men, between, say, the ages of 18 and 25 from a couple of countries, I believe a certain amount of intense scrutiny should be placed on them,” the Highland Park congressman was quoted as saying. “I’m not threatened by people from China. I’m not even threatened by people from Mexico. I just know where the threat is from. It’s from a unique place, and I think it’s OK to recognize that.”
Obama took issue with the comments.
“I like Mark Kirk, enjoy working with him and believe he cares deeply about our nation’s security, but I believe his statement indicates a cavalier attitude towards civil liberties,” the Democrat said. “His comments do a disservice to the public diplomacy process that’s required to win the war on terror.”
Public diplomacy process? Does that involve putting absolutely no thought into defending ourselves?
If we cannot single out young Muslim men trying to enter the U.S. for closer scrutiny at this point, what exactly are the consequences of their Jihad against us infidels? We can cast a wary eye? Barak is asking for a fantasy world where we can afford to pay no extra attention to the one narrow demographic group that is responsible for 90% of global terrorism.
Maybe if we did, the overwhelming of majority of Muslims would fight back harder against those who have hijacked their religion and put them in this position.
This is the latest example of PCRD, or PC Reflex Disease. Barak, you’ve been exposed.
On National Review’s blog, Andy McCarthy unloads,
How many more Ammans â?? and 9/11â??s, Balis, Djerbas, Istanbuls, Madrids, and Londons …, to name just a few â?? have to happen before we can be spared this ritual denunciation of common sense?
Memo to Sen. Obama: Aliens living overseas donâ??t have civil liberties under the American Constitution. Coming to this country is a privilege, not a right. Government’s first responsibility is the security of the governed. And whatever one may think of â??public diplomacy,â? your drivel does a disservice to the civil rights of Americans to live and have their government take common sense protective measures.
If Americans regardless of party affiliation need further proof that the federal judiciary requires immediate reform read the latest ruling issued from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco (The most often reversed federal court in the nation).
In their ruling, the Court determined that parents DO NOT have a fundamental right to control when, where and how their children are taught about sex. Rather, the Court ruled, that right belongs to activist judges.
If you asked Chucky Boy Shumer or Chivas Kennedy they would call this group of ACLU-Socialist unelected judges on the 9th Circuit “mainstream.”
Further evidence of why Americans must back President Bush’s nomination of Judge Alito on the Suprme Court.

Michael Yon is getting what he deserves this week. Respect and admiration from Capitol Hill to Hollywood and beyond.
Earlier this week, he met Bruce Willis who was visting the men from Deuce Four, the unit Michael was embedded with in Mosul. Willis read about the Deuce Four just like you and I did, through Michael’s incredibly gripping, first hand reporting. He showed up at their annual ball and gave an incredible speech according to Michael. It is great to hear of a leading man in Hollywood who appreciates those who serve and sacrifice so much.
Michael left Washington state for a speaking appearence in Boston where I had the distinct honor of spending a few hours with him. Having only spoken to Michael from Iraq via Pundit Review Radio, it was a real pleasure to meet him in person.
He left Boston and headed to Washington DC where his vivid writing and photography of our heroes in action were being discussed in a Senate committee.
Senators will be reading my dispatches and showing some photographs I took in Iraq. I am honored that my work will be used to demonstrate the progress our soldiers are making in helping Iraq secure and maintain its freedom.
And his incredible reporting is being praised around the world. I found this excellent profile of Michael written by a South African journalist.
Ideology and US political styling do not play a role in Yon’s work; the point is a first person account of what’s happening, echoing the ideals of New Journalists like Hunter S. Thompson and Marc Jacobson and perhaps hails a new form of New Journalism.
Above and beyond what Yon’s doing, it’s how he’s doing it. His is an example of how one man can harness the web to tell a story and get the world far closer to the truth than a dozen mainstream media outlets combined.
One other thing he deserves is our support. If you can afford to, please consider supporting him via the Support The Next Dispatch button on his blog.
