There's nothing wrong with standing up for an idiology you believe in, but of late, it seems the only idiology of the Left is that President Bush is evil incarnate, and when you have the record of inattention to terrorism (World Trade Center bombing in 1993, the attacks on American embassies in Africa in 1998, the USS Cole bombing in 2000 to cite just three examples) that President Clinton portrayed in his term of office, it's particularly disingenious.
In their partisian fervor, it seems that the DNC and it's leading members have forgotten that we are all Americans first, and members of a political party second. The Left has excoriated President Bush as a divisive leader, but any openminded person with two functioning brain cells left can readily discern that, in fact, it's the members of the far Left that have created that division on strictly partisian grounds; unfortunately, it's the radicals that seem to have the loudest voice and the firmest hand on the controls in the DNC at the moment.
They are so sure of their control that they don't even bother to TRY to ensure that their statements are in fact the truth. Don't think so? In Clinton's Bush bashing he said:
"(the)Bush administration had decided to invade Iraq "virtually alone and before UN inspections were completed, with no real urgency, no evidence that there were weapons of mass destruction." (that "alone" must come as a real slap in the face to the 40+ nations that have risked their personnel in Iraq!)
Yet in a presentation of a foreign policy paper made before Democrats on July 23, 2003, President Clinton stated:
"It is incontestable that on the day I left office, there were unaccounted for stocks of biological and chemical weapons."
So either Clinton lied then, or is lying now, either way, he's proven himself a liar with his own words.
That he is breaking the long held tradition of past Presidents not commenting publicly on a current President's policies only proves that he has no concept of the delicate balance of civility that has to be maintained for our system to work.
Instead, he stokes the partisan fires to an ever greater blaze; and to do it at a time when we have men in harms way furthur compounds the damage he is doing in furthurance of partisianship.

The Left's "Great Society" managed to do to African-Americans what 200 years of slavery and 100 years of discrimination couldn't do -- destroy their pride and resourcefulness.
The awful truth is the left NEEDS to keep the base impoverished and reliant on hand-outs in order to maintain their power.
N.O. is a black city, governed by blacks. LA is a corrupt state, governed by an incompetent who knew the right people. At least one of the State Senators got in office the first time thanks to some questionable votes from N.O. She paid them back by threatening to punch out the president because he wouldn't break the Posse Comitatus Act (so the Dems could impeach him).
What percentage of blacks were impoverished at the beginning of the "Great Society"? What percentage is impoverished now? CLINTON was in office for EIGHT years. What improvement did the black dependent class have during those eight years? HOw many of them got out of poverty and moved into the lower class?
If we had a free and unbiased press, they'd be looking at these stats.
In his 1935 State of the Union Address, FDR spoke to a nation mired in the Depression, but still marinated in conservative values:
"Continued dependence" upon welfare, said FDR, "induces a spiritual disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fiber. To dole our relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit."
Behind FDR's statement was the conviction that, while the government must step in in an emergency, in normal times, men provide the food, clothing and shelter for their families.
Then in 1963, Lyndon Johnson had the chance to test the Liberal idea of making the Federal government the prime provider to the poor.
In the 43 years since, the "Great Society" group of aid programs have engendered a permanent poverty class with up to 3 generations still totally dependant on government to provide for their basic needs. Had the purpose of the programs been sucessful,under their own terms set out in the beginning, we would have no poor at all. Yet all we hear from the Left is how we are not spending enough to help the poor. We have spent billions of dollars every year on welfare/assistance related programs every year since 1964, yet the "poverty" rates are rising.
The commenter was right, we need to redesign these programs to become a true hand up rather than a hand out. Untill self pride and responsibity is stressed and inculcated, all the money we throw at the poor is nothing more than an ever growing dependancy cycle, and we can't afford it, either in terms of money, or in terms of citizens detracting,rather than contributing to the general good of the Republic.

They furthur lauded President Clinton as one of the finest Presidents in history.
Ever one to be willing to concede that my personal biases just might color my opinions, I did some research and to my dismay discovered that President Clinton and his Administration did indeed set some high records for a Presidental term in office.
Here's the short list of Firsts/malfeasance records set in that time:
RECORDS SET:
- The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance
- Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates*
- Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation
- Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify
- Most number of witnesses to die suddenly
- First president sued for sexual harassment.
- First president accused of rape.
- First first lady to come under criminal investigation
- Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case
- First president to establish a legal defense fund.
- First president to be held in contempt of court
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad
* According to the best information, 40 government officials were indicted or convicted in the wake of Watergate. A read of teh records imputes that there was a total of 31 Reagan era convictions, including 14 because of Iran-Contra and 16 in the Department of Housing & Urban Development scandal. 47 individuals and businesses associated with the Clinton machine were convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes with 33 of these occurring during the Clinton administration itself. There were in addition 61 indictments or misdemeanor charges. 14 persons were imprisoned. A key difference between the Clinton story and earlier ones was the number of criminals with whom he was associated before entering the White House.
Now the Progressive will claim that this record is due to Republican "witch hunts" in their hatred of Bubba and Shillery, but the sheer range and magnitude of the charges/indictments/convictions would lead a reasonable person to at least start to question the true legacy that President Clinton will come to bear.
There is an old adage that "where there is smoke there is fire", and it's usually been proven true with the hindsight of history. This next Presidential cycle may prove to be really interesting. Hillery may have more trouble than she's counting on. If nothing else her past record of her stands taken during her husbands administration belie her current attempt to move more to the center.
Kerry found to his chagrin that the American people respect a person for maintaining his core beliefs more than one who conveniently changes positions as the public mood does. They may not like the position, but they respect the person who stands firm for one.

Her crime? She's challenged Hillery Clinton to go public with opposition to the war in Iraq, and demanded that she be granted a meeting with her.
The Moonbats are eating their own, which is a godsend for the Stupid party, since it seems that the President seems to be doing everything he can to alienate his base over federal spending and the border security issue.
It will be interesting to see how the Queen 'Rat handles the situation....in the meantime I hope that Ms. Sheehan doesn't take any walks in Ft. Marcy Park, we all remember what happened to Vince Foster there when he presented a political danger to the Queen...

to the bench and sat down. He had spiked hair in all different colors:
green, red, orange, blue and yellow.
The old man just stared. Every time the teenager looked, the old man was staring.
The teenager finally said, sarcastically, "What's the matter old
timer, never done anything wild in your life?
Without batting an eye, the old man replied. "Got drunk once and had
sex with a peacock. I was wondering if you were my son."

I'd say this Fido would make a great recruit for the Marines...wonder how he'd do with a full auto weapon?
Fido continued the hunt and bagged his own bird, said "Hell NO" when he was asked to give it to the Fish and Wildlife officer, on the basis that his license didn't cover actually doing the shooting...."ask the last guy what happened when he asked for my dinner, now get out of my face!"
All joking aside though, this story demonstrates the total lack of knowledge of the average journaljismer....#1, who the hell hunts birds with buckshot?!?, and #2...I've never seen a rifle yet that could fire either bird shot or buckshot. Yet we're supposed to give credence to a sloppy reporter like this when he writes a story about our 2nd Amendment rights?!?

And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin,
of Cheers. One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the
Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm.
Here's how it went:
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo
can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when
the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones
at the back that are killed first This natural selection is
good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of
the whole group keeps improving by the
regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the
human brain can only operate as fast as the
slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we
know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and
weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer
eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more
efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few
beers."
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are
whispering when you are not.

I found this via Davids Medienkritik:"We didn't think German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's SPD (or any other major Germany political party) would fall this low during the election campaign. We have learned that one of Gerhard Schroeder's senior ministers and a top SPD man in eastern Germany, Rolf Schwanitz, is using the following poster in an attempt to win votes":

SPD Campaign Poster, caption reads: "She (Merkel) Would Have Sent Soldiers"
As David says:"This is truly sick. How could anyone exploit the images of fallen American soldiers in flag-draped coffins for political gain. Haven't those soldiers earned the right not to be exploited by some European politician?"
I have to say that while I'm repulsed by this, I have to admit that our own Left has sunk to almost the same low state, when you consider the credence they give to such as "Mother" Sheehan; if we allow our own to get away unopposed, can we really be surprised when a foreign polititian thinks it is fair game? Yes, I know that the storm against "Mother" is pretty intense in the blogosphere, but how much of that opposition is ever demonstrated in the MSM?
This is part and parcel of what the Left just "doesn't get" when we on the center right contend that you can't "support the troops" and loudly bash Bush on the war at the same time without providing aid and comfort to the enemy, inevitably, that (at least perceived) aid is evident even to those that are nominally our allies. Too bad it never comes to recognition by those that foment it.

We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years. It's time to take a reflective
look at the core beliefs of a culture that values home, family, country and
God.
Ya'll know who ya' are...
You might be a Redneck if:
1. It never occurred to you to be offended by the
phrase, "One nation, under God."
2. You've never protested about seeing the 10
Commandments posted in public places.
3. You still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival."
4. You remove your hat and bow your head when anyone prays.
5. You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play our
National Anthem.
6. You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.
7. You've never burned an American flag, but would kick someone's A_ _
that did.
8. You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter
who is listening.
9. You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.
10. You'd give your last dollar to a friend.
Yep, sounds like the kind of people I would like to be associated with!
If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'd
choose a half dozen or so rednecks to back me up.
Tire irons, squirrel guns, and grit -- that's what rednecks are made of.
I hope I am one of those.

I thought that I'd see what was going on in the hood and post a pic or two...
I have told you that I live in a really tough neighborhood, haven't I?
We don't feed the squirrels around here, we just try to keep an eye on our smokes when their around.

They're always reaching out to take anything they can get their grubby little paws on.

Yeah, we have gangsta squirrels...hell, even the cats are afraid of them. One of the cats was in heat last year and got out and was accosted by a group of squirrels....leading to a strange synthesis:

Her mate was understandably upset and took matters into his own hands

He managed to clear out a large group of them before his thirst for vengence was slaked.
He was so tuckered out after his mayhem, he OD'd on catnip flavored Kibble.

Unfortunately for him, the squirrels had a photographer as an eyewitness.

And the minions of Homeland Security were soon at the door.
He roused enough to try to make a run for it, but he got caught at the back door.
The last time I saw him he was on his way to serve a life sentence for Rodent Terrorism. Guess the Polititians take care of their own genus...

You KNOW how ill I must be if I've resorted to cat blogging....I'm going back to bed. In a way it's kinda of fun to have a rotating bed, might as well try to enjoy the sensation, since there's nothing I can do but ride it out anyway.
UPDATE:I KNEW poor Fluffy just wasn't cut out for prison life...seems he got shanked by a member of the Squirrel Liberation Front. The guard first on the scene tried to sustain him with mouth to mouth support, but alas, it was the end of Fluffy's ninth life..

His new site is called Oppose the Troops, and it's even more virulent than his old site.
"Mr". Crook's contention is that the Military as a whole, and at the individual level, consists of nothing but leeches living high off the hog on our tax dollars. He furthur contends that the concept of an organized Military structure in itself is untenable in a free society and that we would be better served by an "everyman for himself" structure of defense.
Seems that Mr. Crook is unaware of history, or just what the average person gives up in joining the Military in terms of earning potential. He decries that Service personnell are given housing, medical treatment, and salaries, and WORST of all, they receive a pension after having served their country for a minimum of 20 years! All on the "Public's dime". THE HORROR!
He attempts to show that money is the prime motivator in inducing young men and woman into military service...after all, they receive a base salary of $22,525.20 a year, after having reached the rank of E-5, with more than two years on the job. Sounds like a great deal of money doesn't it? He doesn't take into cinsideration that it would take the average soldier almost 9 years to attain that rank, and that a civilian position that encompasses anywhere near the same amount of responsibility would pay at least twice that amount. YES there are the factors that housing and food are included "free" (assuming a single person living in base housing), but consider this, that "free housing" consists for a large part of sharing one large room with four to six other men, or at BEST one small room with one other man, and the food consists of a school cafeteria style service, where your choices are limited to what is being served for that meal. AND you are not allowed to leave a prescribed area without permission and instant contact means with your superiors.
How many civilians work, or WOULD work, under such restrictions? Not to mention that even your personal life is bound by rules and regulations that no civilian company could impose on their workforce.....how would YOU like to be faced with possible loss in pay,loss of rank, and even incarceration because YOU happened to stay out on the lounger in the backyard too long and had received a bad sunburn? Outrageous? It CAN happen in the Military, and I speak from personal experience.
When you sign on that dotted line, not even your own body ,strictly speaking, belongs to you. Where do you make that type of sacrifice in the civilian world? The closest thing would be the "physical ability to preform" clauses in a pro-athlete's contract....care to compare their pay rates to the military's?
If you factor in the amount of experience/education that a soldier requires to effectively do his job in the new high-tech Service; and the amount of responsibility that that soldier is expected to assume, the pay is not even a half fraction of what he could obtain under the same circumstances in the civilian world.
I think we should respond as we did on the last occasion of this perverted moron's last surfacing in the public forum; loud derision and pointing out to his service providers that his rhetoric exceeds the bounds of legitimate public discourse and falls into the area of hate-mongoring and sedition.

Really weird symptoms....had a cluster headache pounding in the center of my head and everything seemed to be revolving around it; the room was spinning as if I'd gone on a super bender. My temperture was rising and falling like a seesaw, and yet, I felt the opposite, freezing with a high temp and sweating hot when it droppped. Thirsty as hell, but just the thought of drinking anything was enough to send me racing to embrace the porceline goddess.
Got Chris to make me some oatmeal, and I managed to keep it down, so I'm sure I'm on the tail end of whatever this is.
See you guys later, I'm going back to bed and hope the spinning stops soon.

" We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and others."
"We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused
by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights."
ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.
ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.
ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.
ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were
confused by the Bill of Rights.
ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from!
(lastly...)
ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are
uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!!!!

House" while making his train commute home from work.
By the time he reached home,he stormed into the house
and walked directly up to hiswife, pointing his finger in her face,
he said, "From now on I want you to know that I am the man of this house
and my word is law! You are to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight,
and when I'm finished eating my meal, I expect a scrumptious dessert afterward.
Then, after dinner, you're going to draw my bath so I can relax.
And when I'm finished with my bath, guess who's going to dress me
and comb my hair?"
