This man just loves telling audiences what they want to hear and the truth be damned. Bill Clinton Waffles On Iraq: ‘It Could Still Work’.

Speaking to Arab students in Dubai, the capital of United Arab Emirates, Clinton said “Saddam is gone. It’s a good thing, but I don’t agree with what was done.”
Last night however, he told an audience of 700 in Valhalla, New York that the recent vote on an Iraqi constitution went well, and the next test will be whether the once-dominant Sunni Arabs participate in the Dec. 15 elections, according to Westchester County’s Journal News.

Pick one side or the other Bill, you’re making me dizzy. But then again, you’ve always said exactly what you think the audience wants to hear. Truth is never a big issue with you, is it?

‘Screwball’ Chris Matthews shows what a concerned, caring Leftist he really is. He is so concerned about the feelings of terrorists that he had this to say:

“The period between 9/11 and Iraq was not a good time for America. There wasn’t a robust discussion of what we were doing. If we stop trying to figure out the other side, we’ve given up. The person on the other side is not evil — they just have a different perspective.”

The person on the other side is not evil — they just have a different perspective. Of course he’s talking about Al-Zarqari and Osama, because they fight the imperialist US. Now Conservatives, on the other hand, we are evil. Blood for oil and all that.
But then again terrorists kill innocent people with car bombs.
Conservatives just want Iraq to be free.
You decide how much of a screwball Matthews really is.

Here you go. Flint, Mich. Paper Slams Michael Moore’s Hypocrisy.
Here’s the salient points:

But Moore does his film production in Canada to avoid paying union scale and threatened to fire half of his TV show’s writing staff when they wanted to join a union, reviewer David Forsmark reports after reading Schweizer’s book.
“He’s a proponent of affirmative action but never has hired a black person to do anything important on one of his projects.
“Moore claims he owns no stock and only puts ‘what little I can’ in ‘something the old-timers call a savings account’ – yet Schweizer writes that he owns stock in defense contractors and Halliburton.
“Moore says he gives away 40 percent of his money, but Schweizer reports that his tax returns show his foundations give the minimum necessary to stay tax exempt.”

In other words, Moore talks the talk but fails miserably in walking the walk. It’s quite disappointing, really. Here is a champion of the Liberal Left, a documented distorter of facts, who doesn’t mind using editing techniques (in Canada, no less) to make people say what he wants them to say, when in truth what they said was distorted and taken way out of context.

“Could the reason Streisand, Franken and Moore advocate for affirmative action be because they know from looking at themselves that it is necessary?” reviewer Forsmark concludes.
“After all, if these bitter enemies of racism and sexism can’t be trusted to hire a diverse group of people, what hope can there be for corporate America to do so?
“Perhaps Moore rails against globalization because he knows first-hand about the insidious lure of cheap, foreign scab labor.”

I agree. Because the Left engages in racist tokenism, glass ceilings, elitism, et. al., then everybody else must be doing it as well! The true hypocrisy of the Left is they accuse Conservatives of doing what the Left is guilty of doing.
Sheesh.

From Slashdot. The FEC has just ruled: The Federal Election Commission today issued an advisory opinion that finds the Fired Up network of blogs qualifies for the ‘press exemption’ to federal campaign finance laws. The press exemption, as defined by Congress, is meant to assure ‘the unfettered right of the newspapers, TV networks, and other media to cover and comment on political campaigns.’
You can find the whole ruling here. A backhanded comment goes thusly:

‘…an entity otherwise eligible for the press exception would not lose its eligibility merely because of a lack of objectivity…’

If a lack of objectivity were to prohibit the exemption, then most of the newspapers would be excluded, as they lean so far to the Left they’re horizontal.
It’s nice to know I can still speak my mind politically without having to worry about getting into too much trouble…

It seems there are some Conservative college campuses out there after all. Prof urges fragging of U.S. officers.
Rebecca Breach, a student was organizing an appearance by an Army Lt. Col. She sent an email to the faculty and this is what she got back from one English professor:

English professor John Daly replied: “Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors.”
Daly added that he would ask his students to boycott the event and also vowed “to expose [her] right-wing, anti-people politics until groups like [Rebecca’s] won’t dare show their face on a college campus.”

While the Board of Trustees didn’t take sides, that alone is good news. Normally the Administration is as Leftist as the professors.
It’s nice to see a little fairness for once.

Well, it’s here, a laptop that costs about $100 and will function anywhere. Hundred-Dollar Laptop Finally Unveiled.
It’s hand powered, wireless, and meant for third world countries where there is limited Internet access. It actually costs $110 to produce, but that price will come down as soon as economy of scale kicks in. Anyway, it’s meant to be given to children so they can have wireless Internet access anywhere there is a hotspot. Being hand cranked means no electricity needed, no batteries to charge and wear out. I just hope that hand crank holds up to the challenge.
It’s nice to see technology work in such ways.

Somewhere on this planet, every 6 seconds, a woman gives birth.
She must be found and stopped.

Well, as many of you know Mike and I play Epic:Armageddon on Wednesdays. I’m going to have to step up my game.
First of all, I tried out a new army, so new it doesn’t have any models. I had to use printed pieces of paper representing the units. The models won’t be out until 2007 at the earliest.
Anyway, I filled out a list of Necrons (think Schwarzenegger Terminators) and it came out to be 4000 points. Mike and I got to the Memphis World of Battle and proceeded to set up, when a friend showed up with his Eldar (Space Elves). So I spotted the both of them 800 points, which is a lot, and proceeded to get my butt whipped. I made a lot of mistakes, it being my first time with this army, and I was outnumbered, so I shouldn’t feel as bad as I do.
Then, some more friends showed up and we played a 5400 point per side take and hold, and this time I played a quick list of my standard Ultramarines. Mike and I faced Tau (anime battlesuits) and Eldar, and we held on valiantly for two turns, but would have fell in turn three if we didn’t get called for time with the store closing.
I really have to step up my game, I’m getting beat on a semi-regular basis now. But then again, I am trying many new things instead of sticking to what works. I don’t know what to do, stick with the tried and true, or continue to experiment….

This is an important article. Read it. Who Is Lying About Iraq?
It documents statements and facts that the Left would prefer that you forgot all about. It’s their words on the record, and the words of their opponents.
It’s about how President Clinton said the same thing about Saddam that Bush said, it’s just that Bush had the backbone to do something about it. It’s about Liberals putting words in the mouths of the Administration, while reversing their own words.
Don’t let the Left rewrite history.
Don’t let the Left forget their own words.
Don’t let the Left lie about facts.

It has been said that a politician is concerned about the next day, while a statesman is concerned about the next generation.
Using that as a standard, there are very few statesmen in the Congress today, if at all. And while few people recognize it, President Bush is in second place, behind Ronald Reagan.
Here is a blast from the past: HISTORIANS OFTEN VIEW PRESIDENTS WHO BEGAN UNPOPULAR WARS DIFFERENTLY THAN PEOPLE AT THE TIME.
The post is from Michelle Malkin who comments on Betsy Newmarks passage about how Presidents get raked over the coals by the days politicians.
Read the post. It’s very eye opening. And it tells you that a lot of people can’t see the forest for the trees. There will always be nutcases pleading for peace at any cost, not realizing that the opposite of war is not peace, but slavery.
War is not to be entered into lightly, but when it is, you must stay the course and fight to win. To do any less is to defeat yourself and destroy any good you have done.
Remember that.

When you live in a country with no limitations on government. Techies top cops’ terror profile.
It’s a story about a guy who walked into an Underground station with a backpack and didn’t look at the police on his way in. You can read his detailed story here.
Which brings us to the third point in this posts journey, Gatso 2: rollout of UK’s ’24×7 vehicle movement database’ begins.
This one is about basically RFIDing license plates, then tracking the vehicle wherever it goes. And portable detectors will sniff out the antique car you keep in the garage and gig you for not having insurance on a car you don’t drive.
This comes from a country that licenses your TV, and drives around looking for unlicensed TV’s.
Is Great Britain a fantastic country or what? But it’s what you get when you don’t have a document such as the Constitution declaring what the government can and, more importantly, cannot do.
But we are heading this way as well, although not quite as pell-mell as Britain is.
But we must always keep watch on our freedoms, lest the government steal them from us in the guise of ‘protection.’

Michael Newdow is an avowed Atheist and is quickly becoming a whack job.
First, he challenged the words “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance. He managed to win over the 9th Circus, but SCOTUS turned him away because he didn’t have legal standing.
Now, he’s pushing for the words “In God We Trust” to be struck from US currency. Atheist Plans Lawsuit Challenging Motto on U.S. Currency.
Let’s get this straight. The First Amendment provides that the Federal Government shall not organize a Church, nor recognize an established Church, as the official Church of the United States. That means no Church of America, nor the Federal Government giving it’s blessing to the Catholic Church, or any Church for that matter.
The First does not exclude all references to God in all things Government. It was our forefathers, the ones who wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, who recognized the Authority of God, and incorporated it into these documents. To strike all references of God from our Government is a slap into all of our Forefathers faces.
Don’t go away mad Michael, just go away.

Well, well, well. It seems that Howard Dean, Chairman of the Democrat National Committee, doesn’t want to appear anywhere around a Republican.
Mr. Dean was offered to appear on Meet the Press along side Ken Mehlman, the Chairman of the Republican National Committee, but Howard the Duck just walked into the green room and waited until Ken’s segment was over. Then and only then did Mr. Dean come out and appear on camera.
Why? Because it would probably show just how far to the Left Mr. Dean really is, if you compared him to a Conservative. But without someone to compare him to, Mr. Dean almost makes sense.

On the Eleventh hour, of the Eleventh day, of the Eleventh month, the guns fell silent along the Western front. An armistice had been reached, followed by the official unconditional surrender of Germany and her allies. It ended more than four years of bloody warfare, in which millions of soldiers died. This was the first time war had been fought on such a scale, and this war became known as The Great War. Today, less than 30 Americans are still around that fought in that war.
Today marks not only the end of the Great War, but a celebration of the service of those who serve or have served our country. Memorial day is to remember the dead, Veterans Day is meant to remember the living.
If you know a veteran, thank them for their service and sacrifice. It is these men and women, who took their turn on watch on that wall that separates us from our enemies, who have made sure that you enjoy the freedoms you have today.

Real life friend Mike seems to have lost his cat, Bennie.
You can read about Bennies story here. Mike truly loves this cat, and she went missing last night. He’s worried that she is cold and hungry. Please help. Your thoughts, prayers and good vibes are needed right now to guide Bennie back home again.
I’m right there with you, Mike.
