BWAAAA! Good One Mike. Never before has this country been so misguided by a nitwit President and those nuts in the Christian Right. It is so sad. These people are neither “Christian” or “right” when you think about it. As a real Christian and someone who loves his country, I am appauled as to what has become of our country under this administration. Oh, did I mention I was gay. Knew when I was 6 yrs old. NOBODY can tell me what relationship I have with God…not even these wackos.

Talk about toxic relationships! They will be in separate bedrooms before the honeymoon begins (if it ever does). He keeps on sayin’ one thing and doin’ another. How can some people be soooooooo gullible? Fool me once…

It amazes me everyday the amount of anger on this blog, particulary from the left. As a conservative, I have been disappointed with several of Bush’s decisions and especially with Rumsfeld handling of the war in Iraq. However, the Dems are using the same strategy as in 2004. Don’t present any ideas and just bash the President. What is the Democratic plan for Iraq? What is their plan for immigration? I know individual Dems have voiced their positions (Murtha, Fiengold, Ben Nelson from Nebraskas) and while I may disagree with them, I respect them for showing some backbone at least. The Dems were disappointed last night again when the Republicans retained control over Duke Cunningham’s seat. Now the Dems are going to claim they won even though they lost, just like they did with Paul Hackett. But eventually you have to start actually winning elections, not just taking moral victories.

Look at these anti American liberals running their old Al Qaeda propaganda like it’s news:

Cover-up by Marines alleged

Washington —- U.S. military investigators believe the killing of an Iraqi civilian on April 26 was planned by a small group of Marines who shot the man and then planted a shovel and an AK-47 rifle at the scene, a senior Pentagon official said Tuesday.

How many times are these rotten bas-tards going to run this story like it’s new? What outcome are they trying to influence? Is this not perfectly clear for all to see, this undermining of America?

Another one bites the dust:

Alabama voters ban same-sex marriage Alabama voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, granting what conservative supporters called additional protection for traditional families in a state where gay unions already are illegal.

Now watch these liberals just totally ignore the will of the people.

The media manipulation by the insurgents is brilliant and extremely effective. The press has become a puppet for the insurgents; the insurgents know exactly what they are doing with these “massacres” (quoted here because the investigation has not been completed, nor have any charges been filed) and the political nightmare they will cause the current administration. Bodies are produced for film, and there is zero fact-checking by the media—the media eat up this “news” like there is no tomorrow. A couple of hundred bucks paid by the insurgents to a few guys/ladies in the town where this “massacre” occurred to make up some bad news and pine for the BBC’s or CBS’s or whoever’s cameras is a nice month’s salary for many and money well spent by the insurgency.

The truth is the public does not believe the protestations of the press about the nobility of its motives. To many in Red-State America, the media do not just expose wrongdoing. They revel in it, rejoice in it, profit from it, as it enables them to preen as morally superior to those hapless souls whose sins or scandals they have uncovered. Invariably, the media seem not to seek to minimize, but to maximize the damage done to the institutions and the individuals whose failings or crimes they have revealed.

Listening to the breathless reports of Haditha, noting the glee and excitement in the voices of some correspondents, anchors and talking heads, one senses anticipation about what is to come.

The unfolding investigation of last November’s events in Haditha reveals much more about the Bush administration’s critics than it does about the U.S. armed forces. Although the inquiry is ongoing, it appears that 24 unarmed Iraqi civilians were deliberately murdered, allegedly by American Marines seeking revenge for a fallen comrade. If true, the episode was a war crime, something that must be—and no doubt will be—severely punished. However, the administration’s critics are already cynically leveraging the Haditha killings as a means of undercutting the president, heedless of the effect this may have on American national interests.

Throughout history, irregular forces have used the surrounding civilian population in two distinct ways. First, guerrilla fighters do not wear uniforms or carry their arms openly—critical elements of lawful warfare—so as to hide among the civilian population. In effect, they use civilians as shields. Second, like the insurgents in Iraq, they seek to goad opponents into mistakenly, or deliberately, attacking civilians—as a means of mobilizing the population against the regulars. The killings at Haditha show how this strategy can work.

Good one indeed. I wonder how long it’ll take the social/religious conservatives in this country to realize they’ve been had.

The Bush administration—indeed, the leadership of the Republican party—has NEVER cared about gay marriage, abortion, flag-burning, or any of that other fluff they trot out every election year to generate another stampede to the polls.

They make the speeches and promises about “traditional values” and “restoring our Christian heritage”… and then, once they’re securely back in office, they continue shipping jobs overseas and screwing the working class. And you suckers lap it up, every time.

Am I offering an alternative? Should the social conservatives pick a Democrat instead? Heck no. We don’t want you. You losers HAVE no party: just a choice between the party that lies to your face and uses you, and the one that openly rejects you. I’d feel sorry for you if I didn’t know you deserved it.
