Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

How do they fix it? They move the victim to maximum security.
Happy 96th birthday to Ronald Reagan.
IMHO, February 6 should be a national holiday.
While browsing the “news” I came upon this interview from MSNBC’s site with the Iranian Ambassador to Baghdad, Babak Dehghanpisheh. The questioning begins with Bush’s statement regarding killing or arresting Iranians who are helping arm terrorist/sectarian fighters. Anyone who’s been paying attention for the past several years knows that Iran has been up to their eyeballs in Iraq, yet the MSM wants us to think this is a new revelation (expletive deleted)…When the Ambassador is asked about Bush’s statement and his “correction” (he didn;t really mean we should kill Iranians), Babak says,
“It’s good that he corrected his statement. For the government of America it’s not a good thing–a responsible leader shouldn’t make such statements against another country.”
Well isn’t that nice? Babak is making moral pronouncements on America, while his president calls for the destruction of Israel and America.
I have only two thoughts on this insanity.
1. Bush should re-clarify his statement on Iranians found to be fighting and/or assisting with materials. Iranians found doing thus should be killed. They are the enemy. He should make THAT understood and make no apologies for it.
2. MSNBC should comment on their own interview, conndemning the statement by Mr. Dehghanpisheh and expose him and the Iranian president for the murders of American soldiers and Iraqi civilians that they are.
Many of us are tired of this war. Most of us should be more tired of the US Administration playing the politically correct game they have been playing in an attempt to have their cake and eat it too. The cake was given to the Democrats last November…get over it and win this war. Make no apologies for any policy that kills the enemy faster and stop trying to play nice with the terrorists from Iran.
Next time I’ll tell you all how I really feel.
OOPS…Link to the above post:
I’ll get this link right eventually…honest

An excellent commentary on the whole liberal/socialist “it’s not your fault” ideology here:
Least teachers of Islamic schools admit they teach crap – you have to admire that they still will not change though.
We do use books that call Jews ‘apes’ admits head of Islamic school
The principal of an Islamic school has admitted that it uses textbooks which describe Jews as “apes” and Christians as “pigs” and has refused to withdraw them.
Dr Sumaya Alyusuf confirmed that the offending books exist after former teacher Colin Cook, 57, alleged that children as young as five are taught from racist materials at the King Fahd Academy in Acton.
….
The school is owned, funded and run by the government of Saudi Arabia. Mr Paxman asked: “Will you now remove this nonsense from the Saudi Ministry of Education from your school?”
Dr Alyusuf replied: “Just to reiterate what I said earlier, there are chapters from these books that are used and that will serve our objectives. But we don’t teach hatred towards Judaism or Christianity – on the contrary.”
….
In his employment tribunal claim Mr Cook, who taught English at the school for 19 years, has accused it of poisoning pupils’ minds with a curriculum of hate. Arabic translators have found that the books also describe Jews as “repugnant”.
….
Pupils have allegedly been heard saying they want to “kill Americans”, praising 9/11 and idolising Osama bin Laden as their “hero”.

Sure seems like hatred when you call jews apes and christians pigs….how is this not teaching hatred?
And exactly wwhat objectives are you trying to teach / reach?
ST, I know you know this burns me up. The lying media do this everyday. The stories coming out about Bush’s budget cuts in health are just too much for me even though I’ve seen it since my conversion from liberalism (after visiting the library 3 times a week that year) in 1991.
I just about believe that all liberals should repent for 10 years and have no freedom of speech for what they have done with this baseless lying and aiding and comforting the enemy and – of course that would be a ridiculous policy but a national apology and change of their rhetoric is in order. There is no way you can debate liberals when they don’t recognize black and white facts of increases are not cuts and that their rhetoric is demoralizing to our troops and helpful to the enemy.
Whew. That felt good. Can I get an amen??!!
Amen brother!
