The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

When he was a nobody under the Gold Dome, State Rep. Austin Scott (R-Tifton) discovered what Republicans as a minority had long experienced: Asking for information — and actually getting it — are entirely different.

Even as an elected official with access to Georgia’s attorney general, Scott found himself an outsider with no more success in getting public information from Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital in Albany and Tift Regional Medical Center in Tifton than might a high school student pursuing a class project.

Scott’s experiences are not unique. Legislators’ inability to get information to which they are legally entitled — and which, indeed, is essential to their role as the people’s elected representatives — is a persistent problem, even for those now in key budgeting and oversight positions.

If not for her persistence through the summer of 2005, state Rep. Jill Chambers (R-Atlanta) would have found her MARTA legislative oversight committee rendered largely ceremonial by the unwillingness or inability of MARTA officials to answer her questions about its budget.

Other legislators, too, including committee chairmen, complain bitterly that they are unable to get information to which they are legally entitled about salaries, benefits, accounts, program allocations and other expenditures of public money.

State Rep. Burke Day (R-Tybee Island), who is chairman of the committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security, distributed to House members in January a copy of a letter he had received from a department head. It came in response to a request for information on the salaries of rangers in the Department of Natural Resources. Wrote DNR Commissioner Noel Holcomb on Dec. 18:

“I am working closely with Governor’s office regarding pay and recruitment and retention for our law enforcement officers, and have already submitted DNR’s budget to the Board and they have approved it.

“Having just met recently with the Governor regarding DNR’s budget, I feel at this time that I am unable to respond to your request for information on the above subject.”

To which Day responded, just as any citizen denied a public record by an ornery counter clerk, “What!!?”

In his comments on the copy distributed to fellow House members, Day wrote: “House Study Committee [on State Law Enforcement Salaries and Benefits] DENIED access to the truth.” And, he wrote elsewhere on the letter from Holcomb: “This is one reason we need to pass Jill Chambers’ H.B. 91,” a bill that would require state departments and agencies to give the Legislature a yearly statement on revenues and spending, a list of contracts valued at more than $50,000, names of conractors and suppliers paid more than $20,000, a list of payments to employees, board members, consultants and other providers of professional services.

Given those experiences, it’s hard to imagine that the wandering souls who come in from the forest to the Big House would ever intentionally make it difficult for the rest of us to access public records or meetings. You can’t have faced an arbitrary denial of records and information — whether you’re an ordinary citizen, a member of an ignored minority in the Legislature or a legislator entrusted with a position of oversight power and responsibility— and not feel “What!!?”

The lesson should never be lost on this new majority under the Gold Dome. The accountable government that conservatives hope to create must also be a transparent government; openness and access are fundamental.

In a conversation recently with Joseph B. Doyle, who directs the Governor’s Office of Customer Service, we talked about a couple of ambitious efforts to make government more responsive. The conversation covered efforts to improve child support services, to give same-day service to a parent, usually the mother, who comes into a Department of Family and Children’s Services office trying to get the court to enforce child support payments. It’s a process that ordinarily takes four months. By handling it same day, as opposed to scheduling a return visit according to a specific caseworker’s availability, process time for enforcement in pilots is reduced to 30 days. The effort is expected to go statewide next month.

An effort aimed at reducing the time Georgians sit on hold when their calls pass through 27 call centers has achieved an average reduction of 3 minutes per call, saving callers 500,000 hours per year. What’s more, 600,000 more calls are being answered. It’s good news, certainly, but the real question is how to continue gaining efficiency and improving service when this governor goes away or attention is directed elsewhere.

Doyle’s response? Gather and report information on response times, dropped calls and misdirected calls and make that information easily available and therefore transparent. The best way to police government to determine whether efficiencies last is to empower Georgians with information. Otherwise, efficiencies are at risk of being flash-in-the-pan.

The same is true of education reforms that are being proposed, including school choice. It’s true, too, of the effort to help consumers become more responsible users and wiser purchasers of health care. The essence of all is to gather information, organize it and make it available — and then count on Georgians to use information to drive reform.

Republicans should never for a minute allow themselves to become a governing party that imposes or tolerates closed government. Information, and more importantly the access to it, is at the core of most everything conservatives want: Greater accountability, a smaller and more efficient government that enhances and promotes personal responsbility. Government in the sunshine should be a given.

Blacks “Gored” By a Lie: Al Gore Sr., the GOP and the Civil Rights Act of 1964

By R.D. Davis

A New Visions Commentary paper published May 1999 by The National Center for Public Policy Research. Reprints permitted provided source is credited.

It is easy to control the minds of a people. All one has to do is change history by lying about the past. This is exactly what has happened with the legacy of former Democratic U.S. Senator Al Gore, Sr. of Tennessee - the father of our current vice president - and his mythical “support” of civil rights.

In a recent speech to the NAACP, Vice President Gore said his father lost his Senate seat because he supported civil rights legislation. Fellow black Americans, let me set history straight. Al Gore, Sr., together with the rest of the southern Democrats, voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Congressional Quarterly reported that, in the House of Representatives, 61% of Democrats (152 for, 96 against) voted for the Civil Rights Act as opposed to 80% of Republicans (138 for, 38 against). In the Senate, 69% of Democrats (46 for, 21 against) voted for the Act while 82% of Republicans did (27 for, 6 against). All southern Democrats voted against the Act.

In his remarks upon signing the Civil Rights Act, President Lyndon Johnson praised Republicans for their “overwhelming majority.” He did not offer similar praise to his own Democratic Party. Moreover, Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, an Illinois Republican, collaborated with the White House and the Senate leadership of both parties to draft acceptable compromise amendments to end the southern Democrats’ filibuster of the Act. It was Dirksen who often took to the Senate floor to declare, “This is an idea whose time has come. It will not be denied.” Dirksen’s greatest triumph earned him the Leadership Conference of Civil Rights Award, presented by then-NAACP Chairman Roy Wilkins, for his remarkable civil rights leadership.

Inform yourself, so you can learn for yourself about this important historical event. All official records about the Civil Rights Act can be found in the June 1964 issues of Congressional Quarterly.

Al Gore, Sr. did not stop at simply voting against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In addition, Congressional Quarterly reported that Gore attempted to send the Act to the Senate Judiciary Committee with an amendment to say “in defiance of a court desegregation order, federal funds could not be held from any school districts.” Gore sought to take the teeth out of the Act in the event it passed.

Ostensibly, Senator Gore was “elated” at the idea of young Al, Jr. going to school with black children. In reality, however, the future vice president attended an elite private school.

In the end, the Gore Amendment was defeated by a vote of 74-25. Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, one of President Bill Clinton’s political mentors, was among the 23 southern Democratic senators and only one Republican voting with Gore for this racist amendment.

Republican Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona voted against the Civil Rights Act because he was afraid the nation would be transformed into a “police state” as a result of some of its provisions. He did not want to throw out the proverbial “baby with the bath water.” History, of course, labeled Goldwater a racist even though he voted against the Gore Amendment - an amendment devised to continue school segregation. If anyone in the Senate should be tagged as a racist, it should be those voting for the Gore Amendment. Why didn’t history record Al Gore, Sr. and the other southern Democrats as racists?

At least civil rights activist Andrew Young was forthcoming about this oversight in his book An Easy Burden. Young wrote, “The southern segregationists were all Democrats, and it was black Republicans… who could effectively influence the appointment of federal judges in the South.” Young noted that the best civil rights judges were Republicans appointed by President Dwight Eisenhower. Young admitted, “These judges are among the many unsung heroes of the civil rights movement.”

History tends to unilaterally and falsely depict Republicans as racists when southern Democrats truly deserved this title. We now have southern Democrats as both President and Vice President. That would never be the case without the power of the lie and the liberal news media to alter people’s impressions.

Lies can enslave men, but the truth shall set them free. I challenge you, the reader, to take the time to research the facts about our past in publications like Congressional Quarterly and An Easy Burden. Once you educate yourself, you can no longer be deceived by the fabulists. No longer will you be “gored” by a lie.

Jim,

This liberal completely agrees with you — although in the quote above, I�d replace the word �is� with �should be�. In fact, the Bush administration continues to be the most secretive administration in memory and Congressional Republicans continue to be complicit. If only they would live up to the conservative ideals that you and I share.

See this February 27, 2007 article entitled �Bush Administration Freedom of Information Act Report Card Hits New Low�:

11. For distinguished editorial writing, the test of excellence being clearness of style, moral purpose, sound reasoning, and power to influence public opinion in what the writer conceives to be the right direction, in print or in print and online.- Pulitzer prize guidelines

So sayeth Queen Pinko:

It’s too bad I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby is likely to be the only Bush-Cheney confidant prosecuted for an aversion to the truth. There are plenty of unindicted liars walking the halls of the Bush White House.

Not a week goes by without a leader in the Bush administration uttering a sentence or two that stretch credibility to the breaking point. Clearly, though, the most outrageous fabrications and most scurrilous falsehoods of the past six years were told in defense of the decision to invade Iraq.

They were willing to do whatever it took to discredit Plame’s husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, because he called them on 16 words in a presidential speech. As Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, Libby was a central player in the smear campaign.

You�d think they�d been tried and convicted right, this must be what the Pulitzer board means by power to influence public opinion.

There is something deliciously ironic about Cynthia Tucker calling other people liars. Let�s just check and see what side she speaks for:

1.) Wilson Insisted That The Vice President�s Office Sent Him To Niger:

False

2.) Wilson Claimed The Vice President And Other Senior White House Officials Were Briefed On His Niger Report:

False

3.) Wilson Has Claimed His Niger Report Was Conclusive And Significant

False- The Report On The Former Ambassador�s Trip To Niger, Disseminated In March 2002, Did Not Change Any Analysts� Assessments Of The Iraq-Niger Uranium Deal.�

4.) Wilson Denied His Wife Suggested He Travel To Niger In 2002:

False

5.) Wilson Has Claimed His 1999 Trip To Niger Was Not Suggested By His Wife:

False

6.) Wilson Claimed He Was A Victim Of A Partisan Smear Campaign

I didn’t name Johnny Isakson…he’s an exception (I said “nearly” all).

As far as Chambliss and Perdue are concerned, they were Democrats and Perdue was not pro-civil rights. Perdue, by the way, is the same guy who campaigned in 2002 by saying that he would return the confederate symbol to the Georgia flag.

Of course, there’s Thurmond, Lott, Gramm and many many others.

It’s ok to pretend to be a black preacher.

It’s ok to lie under oath and commit purgery, especially if it’s only about sex in the White House while Al Qaeda is supposedly not a threat.

It’s ok to steal and destroy classified documents that the 911 Commission was looking for.

Apparently Wooten Dull intendends to impress us with the verbage that is wearing out his hand typing.

But the fact is, that not all of the “Senate Intelligence Report” Dull cites has been released. In fact, Sen. Roberts of Kansas, along with other Republican help including our own Saxby Chamblis, has done his damndest to stall the release of the report and even tried to trash it as unimportant and calling it an “old story” even as he refused to complete the report.

Fortunately, although still a member, Sen. Roberts is no longer chairman of that committee.

The Bush administration, looking for any way possible to attack Iraq, pushed the sayings of Ahmed Chalabi (with ambitions to be the head of Iraq(?)) whose reliability for truth has been a yoyo and exposed as such.

Americans are still waiting for the release of part two of the report Dull cites. And in no way does part one clearly vindicate the Bush administrations lies.

Carrie - please name one time that Perdue did anything that was anti-civil rights in his State Senate career? He offered a vote on the flag and when that came, the old Confederate Battle Flag was not on the ballot. He caught a lot of grief for that one. Chambliss was never a Democrat. Lott worked for one, but he never held office as one.

Yes, famously, Thurmond was a Democrat who turned Republican. He was also the first southern Senator to hire a black staffer. That includes DumGore’s daddy.

Yes, many southern Republicans at one time were Democrats, but long after the civil rights movement the racists were still in the Democrat party - they include Lester Maddox, George Wallace, Robert Byrd (still there), William Fulbright, James Eastland and John C. Stennis and the man who hung the Confederate Battle Flag on the State House grounds in Columbia, SC, Fritz Hollings.

The southern Congressman who voted for the Fair Housing Act of 1968 despite the political price he might have had to pay was George H.W. Bush. Lloyd Bentsen beat him in the 1964 U.S. Senate race largely on his “soft” position on civil rights (he was too pro-civil rights).

The facts are clear. You do not want to acknowledge them because you have all of these preconceived notions about conservatives. You were brainwashed by agenda-driven socialist-studies teachers in high school and outright Marxists in college. I had enough sense to do my own research.

I will also remind you that the most racist administration of the 20th century was that of Woodrow Wilson, but I still hear him lionized by liberals in macadamia on an almost daily basis. They always neglect to bring up that reprehensible part of his record. They also fail to acknowledge that Republicans were the ones who passed the 19th amendment as well as the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments.

We as a party have a long history of supporting civil rights. Your record as a party is as spotty as a Dalmatian.

I will also remind you that when Republicans find a crook (Rep. Ney of Ohio) they force them to give up their nominations and throw them to the wolves as they should. Barry Goldwater and Senate Minority Leader Scott actually went to Nixon and demanded his resignation. The Democrats just circle the wagons.

You’re reply to this will be a bunch of invective and b.c., and you will likely say they all do it, but at least Teddy cares, even though he murdered a young woman. The fact is, there is no excuse. We expelled Mark Foley - ya’ll permoted Garry Studds and Barney Franks. Shame, shame, shame.

Also, it has not been determined that Perdoo’s actions were legal, either. We’ll see what the feds have to say about paying that much money for virtually worthless property.

And if nothing else, what he did and his accomplices did smells to high heaven, which ethical men would avoid.

Wilson’s assertions — both about what he found in Niger and what the Bush administration did with the information — were undermined yesterday in a bipartisan Senate intelligence committee report. The panel found that Wilson’s report, rather than debunking intelligence about purported uranium sales to Iraq, as he has said, bolstered the case for most intelligence analysts. And contrary to Wilson’s assertions and even the government’s previous statements, the CIA did not tell the White House it had qualms about the reliability of the Africa intelligence that made its way into 16 fateful words in President Bush’s January 2003 State of the Union address.-WashingtonPost

Fact

There is OVERWHELMING that Joe and Valerie Plame tried to undermine the Bush Administrations case for war against Iraq, which can also be called “providing aid and comfort to the enemy.”

Mark Steyn -

A ‘social conscience’ obliges the individual to act. Today we call for action all the time, but mostly from government, which is another way of excusing us and allowing us to get on with the distractions of the day. Our schoolhouses revile the Victorian do-gooders as condescending racists and oppressors — though the single greatest force for ending slavery around the world was the Royal Navy. Isn’t societal self-loathing just another justification for lethargy? After all, if the white man is inherently wicked, that pretty much absolves one from having to do anything. And so the same kind of lies we told ourselves about slaves we now tell ourselves about other faraway people, and for the same reason: because big changes are tough and who needs the hassle? The hardest thing in any society is ‘the reformation of manners.’

Actually, it was cataloguing all of Joe Wilson’s lies that was wearing my arm out. There’s a bunch of them.

But if you want to focus on the legitimacy of the “16 words,” I’m game:

The report indicated that there was enough intelligence to make a �well-founded� judgment that Saddam Hussein was seeking, perhaps as late as 2002, to obtain uranium illegally from Niger and the Democratic Republic of Congo (6.4 para. 499). In particular, referring to a 1999 visit of Iraqi officials to Niger, the report states (6.4 para. 503): �The British government had intelligence from several different sources indicating that this visit was for the purpose of acquiring uranium. Since uranium constitutes almost three-quarters of Niger’s exports, the intelligence was credible.�- Butler Review

Fact

There is OVERWHELMING evidence that Joe and Valerie Plame tried to undermine the Bush Administrations case for war against Iraq, which can also be called “providing aid and comfort to the enemy.”

Like it or not, admit it or not, Valerie Plame did not have the “authority” to send her husband anywhere in the name of the CIA. She was approached by her boss to ask if her husband, who had connections in Niger, if he might be interested in going to look into the matter of the “yellow cake”.

Wilson’s report to the CIA raised strong doubt over the story of the “yellow cake” and that information was passed up to the White House. The White House, in its rentless pursuit for reasons to attack Iraq, chose to ignore that information.

Sen. Roberts knows that and has done everything he can to protect Bush. Otherwise, Roberts would have no reason to have withheld and attempting to bury the report if it would, indeed, support Bush’s story.

One things for certain, this time the report has not been withheld for “national security” reasons. Therefore it can only be concluded that Bush lied.

And neither Wilson or Plame were the ones who asked for an investigation into her being exposed as a CIA agent.

getalife,

Are you one to espouse our need to recognize Islam as a “Religion of Peace” due to the large number of peace-loving Muslims who are branded by the acts of a few radicals? That seems to be the philosophy of most of the Left on this blog.

If so, are you then stating, by your link and comment above, that the only people who should be in military service are conservatives? The brave men and women of our military, both liberal and conservative, deserve our support and respect. The call to a life in the military is a long, proud tradition in many families in the United States and all of us in America owe them a debt of gratitude.

The President chose to fight the war on terror in Afghanistan and Iraq. We owe those at the World Trade Centers on 9/11, the Marines in Beirut in the 1980’s, the sailors of the USS Cole, our embassy employees throughout the world and everyone who has suffered at the hands of the terrorists, the unrelenting effort of this country to end terrorism in the world.

The US effort in Iraq and Afghanistan is supported by moderate Muslims in both countries and also by those in surrounding countries in the Middle East.

So, if you wish to promote the “Religion of Peace” then you should also support the US effort to give the moderates an opportunity to govern. If not, then you are simply making a lot of noise in an attempt to undermine the administration and throwing the moderate Muslims to the Fanatical Wolves of Islam.

Two Dem Mass. Senators (one a murderer and the other a serial liar),

Latin Americans protest - they always have,

Iraq disaster - not good I admit but living in a US city like Detroit is almost as dangerous,

Clinton sold the technology to China for their military buildup in exchange for campaign contributions and our trade deficit has been building for decades, also unabated by Democrats,

Russian communists have killed critics since 1917 (Remember the Czar and family?) and Russia was making billions of dollars off the oil for food scandal so why would they support the action in Iraq?

And both the Dems and Reps proudly trumpet the North American Union.

Was Clinton’s justice department handling of the Branch Davidians in Waco not scandalous enough for you?

How about the Clintonistas like Lanny Davis going on every talk show and branding Monica Lewinsky as a “star-struck strumpet” who never had a relationship with Bill until the BLUE DRESS appeared? Then Lanny and his miserable little crew of Hilla-liars suddenly disappeared. Circle, circle, circle, circle the wagons but never, ever run the reprobates like Kennedy, Murtha, Jefferson and Frank out of town like the Republicans did with Cunningham, Foley and the others.

None of the Democrats I cited has ever recanted their comments from the 1990’s to my knowledge. All they have ever said is they made a mistake “in voting for the war” and that is just their way of trying to cover their assets after the fact. No different for the Republicans either.

Why should Georgia apologize for slavery? No one in Georgia today had anything to do with slavery. That is just more liberal claptrap. Keep the racial issue stirred and polarize the people - that is the only Democrat strategy for Election Day.

The race w******* like Jackson and Sharpton, as well as a few lesser knowns in Georgia, are only relevant if they keep the fires burning, and Obama may be making them as irrelevant as this demand for an apology.

OK, tell you what. I apologize for all native and non-native Georgians for the fact that slaves were held in Georgia for about 80-90 years. Of course, that was now over 140 YEARS AGO, but if this will end the nonsense I am willing to make the sacrifice.

I don’t have time for a line by line rebutal, but here is a timeline you can use if it works.

http://www.dkosopedia.com/wiki/DOJ,CIAcallforPlameinvestigation,investigationstarts#BeforeCIAfilesacrimereport

Notice at the beginning that it is the CIA that asked for the investigation, not Plame/Wilson. The “outting” not only exposed Plame, but in conjunction the places she worked as an “employee” which were actually CIA undercover investigtions; thus the CIA concern that it will/would/did “out” other agencies and agents as well.

I too, have followed this fairly closely and the Bush administration has fought tooth and nail (not just Sen. Roberts and his fellow committee Republicans) to not reveal its participation in retribution against Wilson for the publications of his findings - which further undercut the claimed needs by Bush/Cheney for an attack on Iraq.

But heck, if you really want to apologize for the dead, then the Democrats are the ones who need to do the apologizing.

We Republicans are in the Party of Lincoln and will proudly accept notes of gratitude and thanks for our role in ending slavery, even if our ancestors weren’t Republicans.

Joe Wilson returned from his little trip to Niger and reported directly to the New York Times, not the CIA. That doesn’t suggest an agenda?

What exactly did Armitage stand to gain outing this Langley desk jockey’s name? Zero. And he had no intention of doing that, the name was brought up in discussion of JOE WILSON’S HACK ARTICLE IN THE NEW YORK TIMES, and Armitage disclosed the name because of the information he had from working at State.

Bush/Cheney lies in the run-up to the war in Iraq:

Linking Hussein to al Qaida (thereby, deliberately leaving the listener with the impression that Saddam had something to do with 9/11).

Claiming Saddam had unmanned drones that could be used to attack American cities.

Claiming that Saddam was “actively and agressively seeking to acquire nuclear weapons.”

Cynthia Tucker accurately writes:

“*Among a dwindling group of voters [Markus, Buy Danish/RW, @@] Bush is still revered as an upright and moral man, still credited with having the values and virtues that any decent person should respect. But morality encompasses more than sexual fidelity, more than sobriety after years of reckless drinking. It also encompasses honor, integrity and candor � especially in an enterprise such as war.

Bush took the nation to war on a web of lies, sacrificing the lives of men and women who took him at his word. There is precious little honor or integrity in that.*”

I agree with the late, great Lewis Grizzard: American by birth and Southerner by the grace of God.

From Wiki:

“Diplomatic career Wilson served in the U.S. Foreign Service from January 1976 through 1998.

All details of Wilson’s diplomatic postings are from “Diplomatic Career of Ambassador Joseph Wilson,” The Politics of Truth 451. 1976-1978: General Services Officer, Niamey, Niger 1978-1979: Administrative Office, Lom�, Togo 1979-1981: Administrative Officer, U.S. State Department, Washington, D.C. 1981-1982: Administrative Officer, Pretoria, South Africa 1982-1985: Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM), Bujumbura, Burundi 1985-1986: Congressional Fellow, offices of Senator Al Gore and Representative Tom Foley 1986-1988: DCM, Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo 1988-1991: DCM, Baghdad, Iraq 1992-1995: Ambassador to Gabon and S�o Tom� and Pr�ncipe 1995-1997: Political Adviser to Commander in Chief U.S. Armed Forces, Europe EUCOM, Stuttgart, Germany 1997-1998: Special Assistant to President Bill Clinton and Senior Director for African Affairs, National Security Council, Washington, D.C. From 1988 to 1991, he was the Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq. He was praised by George H. W. Bush after sheltering more than one hundred Americans at the embassy, despite Saddam Hussein’s threats to execute anyone who refused to hand over foreigners. As a result, in 1990, he also became the last American diplomat to meet with Saddam Hussein. When Hussein sent a note to Wilson (along with other embassy heads in Iraq) threatening to execute anyone sheltering foreigners in Iraq, Wilson publicly repudiated the dictator by appearing at a press conference wearing a homemade noose around his neck and saying “If the choice is to allow American citizens to be taken hostage or to be executed, I will bring my own f*** rope,” a flair for public appearance that has become a trademark of Wilson.

As a self-identified non-partisan career diplomat, Wilson later served as U.S. ambassador to Gabon and S�o Tom� and Pr�ncipe during the administration of President George H. W. Bush and helped direct Africa policy for the National Security Council during the administration of President Bill Clinton.[11]

Professional activities after retirement from foreign service Wilson manages JC Wilson International Ventures Corporation, a consulting firm specializing in strategic management and international business development.

Also active as a public speaker, Wilson is represented exclusively by Greater Talent Network Inc., a celebrity speakers bureau.

You’ll see that he was a C student who got into the foreign service because he spoke French. He went on to be a second rate diplomat, and finally became a full fledged Ambassador in 1992 to the glamorous outpost of Gabon.

Getalife,

See, even Wiki agrees with me -

Wilson is a 1971 graduate of the University of California, Santa Barbara (Wilson, Politics of Truth 32). According to Richard Leiby, in the Washington Post, Wilson once joked that he majored in “history, volleyball, and surfing,” maintaining a “C” average and working as a carpenter for five years after graduation.[9] He became more serious about his education, “won a graduate fellowship and studied public administration,” and, having become fluent in French as a teenager, he entered the Foreign Service in 1976, as an administrative “cone” officer (far less glamourous than the political “cone” officers who undertake the sexier work in embassies), specializing in African affairs.

I should have mentioned that he did perform heroically in Bagdad as the last person to meet with Saddam Hussein but you’ll note that, contrary to his frequent assertions, he was not actually the “Ambassador to Iraq”.

He is a congential blowhard, self-promoter and chest-puffer.

�What exactly did Armitage stand to gain outing this Langley desk jockey�s name?� He admits he did it. Maybe he�ll tell you why…Yeah, no sh-it, he said he did it by accident, he never realized she was undercover…Where have you been?”

“Armitage mentioned several times, in sometimes explicit terms that had to be redacted, that former Ambassador Joseph Wilson’s wife was a weapons of mass destruction analyst for the CIA.

“His wife is at the agency and is a WMD analyst,” Armitage said on the tape.

“The exchange occurred at the end of a lengthy interview for one of Woodward’s books….”

So I repeat,�What exactly did Armitage stand to gain outing this Langley desk jockey�s name?� He admits he did it. Maybe he�ll tell you why.

In fact, even Plame’s neighbors didn’t know she worked for the CIA.

And, maybe Armitage, a man who works for the State Department no less, will tell you why he’s telling this to Bob Woodward, “a civilian”, anything about anybody working for the CIA.

Armitage mentioned it “several times” because he wanted the information used.

Here’s the scoop on Benedict Arnold:

Arnold distinguished himself as a hero of the revolution early in the war through acts of cunning and bravery in the Capture of Fort Ticonderoga, the Invasion of Canada (1775), the Battle of Valcour Island in Lake Champlain in 1776, the battles of Danbury and Ridgefield in Connecticut (after which he was promoted to Major General), and the Battle of Saratoga in 1777. He was wounded several times. But in spite of his successes, he was passed over for promotion by the Continental Congress. Arnold also opposed the alliance with France. He became heavily indebted, and was accused of corruption. He also married a Loyalist girl, Peggy Shippen. Frustrated and disaffected, Arnold turned to treason.

But the socialist, Web-addicted wing of the Democratic Party was apoplectic. The prospect of having to watch Fox News to see their own candidates would have been torture in itself. So they set the blogosphere aflame with efforts to kill the broadcast arrangement, or at least have all the candidates pull out of the event. Before Friday, the opportunistic John Edwards was the only candidate to jump on that bandwagon.

You’d think the deal called for having Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter mock the candidates between comments. No, even unfiltered, unedited, live debate between loyal Democrats couldn’t be entrusted to Fox News.

The approach of outfits such as MoveOn.org is so juvenile it’s laughable.

Like I was saying:

And we know that Patrick Fitzgerald knew all this and more as he frittered away the years, and the ”political blood lust” (as National Review’s Rich Lowry calls it) grew ever more disconnected from humdrum reality. The cloud over the White House is Fitzgerald’s, and his closing remarks to the jury were highly revealing. If he dislikes Bush and Cheney and the Iraq war, whoopee: Run against them, or donate to the Democrats, or get a talk-radio show. Instead, he chose in full knowledge of the truth to maintain artificially a three-year cloud over the White House while the anti-Bush left frantically mistook its salivating for the first drops of a downpour. The result is the disgrace of Scooter Libby. Big deal. Patrick Fitzgerald’s disgrace is the greater, and a huge victory not for justice or the law but for the criminalization of politics.-Mark Steyn- Chicago Suntimes Columinists page.

By 2080, water shortages could threaten 1.1 billion to 3.2 billion people, depending on the level of greenhouse gases that cars and industry spew into the air.- Drudge Homepage link to MyWay.com

For years, the U.S. news media have served as an open vault of classified information on U.S. intelligence collection sources and methods. The problem is worse now than ever, given the scope and seriousness of leaks coupled with the power of electronic dissemination and Internet search engines. Foreign intelligence services and terrorists are voracious and close viewers and readers of the U.S. media and are keenly alert to revelations of U.S. classified information. When U.S. intelligence secrecy is breached, foreign targets learn about intelligence techniques and operations and often develop denial and deception countermeasures. As a result, the effectiveness of intelligence declines, to the detriment of the national security policymakers, the U.S. military and American public safety.-James B. Bruce is a senior analyst with the Intelligence Policy Center at the Rand Corp.

These leaks the pinkos don’t give a rat’s a-ss about, the ones that truly endanger the United States, it’s only the “leaks” that they can beat on the White House with.

A humorous perspective out of Oregon about the new “ethanol” drive.

Price Tag: Meat

“Green drivers might be partly responsible for the situation. Rising demand for ethanol has reportedly doubled the cost of corn, the largest component of animal feed, in recent months.”

“According to the font of knowledge that is Wikipedia, the name “corned beef” refers to a type of salt used in pickling it. “Corn” was historically a synonym for “grain,” as in a small particle of something, and the name of our favorite St. Paddy’s Day meat special is a tribute to those itty bitty corns of salt.”

Now if a liberal reads ^^^ that, they’ll believe that they’re being misled.

When a conservative reads that, they’ll interpret it as “salt in the wounds” of the consumer.

There’ll be an increase in “rickets”. We’ll all be “bow-legged” or “gaseous” from eating dried beans, an alternative source of proteins.

WootenDull,

I’m not going to waste my time linking either until they straighten out this problem.

As a follow up to Dennis’ question about Armitage, Fitzgerald TOLD him to keep quiet about the fact he was the leaker.

Back Story to Spy Source Outing Turns out that Richard Armitage, the No. 2 under Secretary of State Colin Powell, was the first Bush administration official to disclose the name of CIA analyst Valerie Plame to columnist Robert Novak. But why’d it take nearly three years for Armitage’s role to emerge? One answer: Patrick Fitzgerald, the special counsel investigating the mess, suggested that Armitage keep quiet. In a July 2003 interview, Armitage casually mentioned Plame’s affiliation to Novak. In October, after controversy erupted over Novak’s outing of Plame, Armitage realized he was the columnist’s primary source. According to a person familiar with his actions, Armitage immediately told Powell, took steps to tell the Justice Department, later met with Fitzgerald, and voluntarily appeared before a grand jury several times. He offered to resign but stayed because Powell couldn’t easily explain his departure as Fitzgerald examined whether the White House had tried to dirty up Plame’s husband, Joseph Wilson, an Iraq war critic. Earlier this year, Fitzgerald told Armitage he wouldn’t be charged.

So, the billion kilowatt question is how will the limpwristed liberal environazis react to this? Will they say we should reduce coal fired power plants and go nuke? Will they say we should drill in the Gulf for natural gas?

Oh hell no. We should get rid of our suburban homes and cars. We should build inner city condos for everyone that run on solar power and recycled toilet water. And believe me nobody will be allowed to have a bigger condo than someone else. Nobody will be alllowed to eat meat because animal farms would be banned due to farting and global warming.

I have a couple of quick questions before I leave for awhile.

N.M. GOP Official Sought Attorney Ouster

The GOP party leader made no secret of his dissatisfaction with AG Iglesias, in part from his failure to indict Democrats in a voter fraud investigation.

“If you’re a crook you need to be in jail,” he told the AP. “If you’re an incompetent government official you should be fired.”

A White House spokeswoman, Dana Perino, said last week that administration officials were aware of the impending firings and offered no objections. But Rove “wasn’t involved in who was going to be fired or hired,” she said.

At a speech Thursday in Arkansas, Rove said of the general flap over the firings, “My view is this is unfortunately a very big attempt by some in the Congress to make a political stink about it.”

“Part of the controversy behind this is prosecutorial discretion,” Iglesias told the McClatchy papers. “What that means is it’s up to the sole discretion of the prosecutor in the case of how to handle the indictment and when to issue it.”

So somebody needs to explain to me why Fitzgerald was encouraged to waste millions of dollars on the prosecution of Libby, but noone speaks out when AG Iglesias is allowed to dilly dally on an indictment of voter fraud against the Democrats.

The double standards of the Democrats expose the vicious political attacks against this administration.

AND…….

Bush approves 4,400 Iraq troop increase

National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johdroe said the U.S. president signed the request by the new U.S. commander in Iraq, General George Petraeus, while traveling from Sao Paulo Brazil to Montevideo, CNN reported.

Why are Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats opposing the requests of Petraeus when they approved his plan for the surge? Military strategies are always changing to accomodate needs.

She keeps claiming that Petraeus said the conflict in Iraq can’t be won militarily while omitting the part where he said the increased military effort would serve to offer support** for the political and economic pursuits.

The 1st casualty of war is truth. You probably couldn’t get a war going unless you lied about why anyone should bother with it. The crusades were like that. People would be sitting around the town square having coffee and chatting and then someone would stand on something and start shouting, “The arabs are killing the christians and violating our sanctuaries!! Let’s all grab weapons and march for thousands of miles and slaughter every person in every town we come across between here and there, and then when we get there, we’ll all be slaughtered by hoards of moslem militias, but at least we’ll have tried to do the right thing as I see it, who’s with me? Lets do it!!”

“Can I bring my crossbow, sir? I’m really good with a cross bow. Really I am. Oh do let me bring my crossbow…”

Of course, the holyland was shared by christians and moslems for centuries with few problems, but that truth was easily lied about by the crusade organizers and promoters. There was no way to tell that they were lying about the holy land. There were too many scooter libbies, and not enough prosecutors.

So now are we repeating the crusader’s mistakes? Fighting moslem hoards in the middle east for no reason that exists in truth, but rather for the chicken-little rants of the ill-informed ? We know 911 was real. The logic goes, that we hunt down the conspirators and those that harbor them. The reaction as it bore out in our military response was to hold the earth itself responsible for 911 and we attack where ever it suits our defense industry’s fanciful imagination and paranoia.

The consequences of the crusades are still being played out. The consequences of the Iraq War have yet to be felt. We are creating a time bomb of latent consequences. Maybe the consequences will be good ones this time. There’s always some good out of every war, because of the intercourse of two civilizations. Maybe more arab sunnis will write tell-all books or there’ll be a Iraqi Idol show with a really mean Shia critic who’s good with a crossbow, and who says, “may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your throat so you can never sing again and torture allah!”

A veiled Paula Abdul? That would make Iraq worth it.

Cheney hasnt told the truth in six years. Six years of lies from cheney- the biggest being his latest, about the brits leaving is evidence that the war is going well. I wonder how many people believed that one. I’d like to know by poll. Is it 10%? 20? 30?

The first casualty in war is truth. Now if Bush had said, “we must abandon Osama Bin Laden and Al Queda and invade Iraq because the defense industry lobby insists”, then who would have agreed to it?

No, we’d have bagged al queda and OBL three years ago. We’d have peace. We’d have won the war on terror. Now, as Bush has mishandled that war, we face a multi-pronged hydra of a terror cell monster network and the odds that we can stop them from another 911 have gone down since mission accomplished.

The first casualty in war is truth, thus there is no reliable data about the big picture post 911. Except that maybe the opposite of whatever Cheney says is probably the truth.

The brits are leaving because the war is going well? Know the opposite is true. And know that bush was trying to be a good prez, but he can only do what he’s told by those who pull our military strings and direct our foreign policy, who ever they are, I certainly dont know, but there is a force of interests who exist and call the shots and it aint Bush.

They hit three out of four targets. The United States government was asleep at the wheel. Bush was so flummoxed by the attacks he sat around reading a children’s book and looking like a jackass to the rest of the world.

The second casualty in war is justice. A people become the enemy of the state by wondering what happened to truth. The third casualty in war is secularism. Suddenly God must be behind every decision our leaders make because we’re at war.

MSNBC:

The chairman of the New Mexico Republican Party was quoted Saturday as saying he urged presidential adviser Karl Rove and one of his assistants to fire the state’s U.S. attorney.

McClatchy Newspapers reported that Allen Weh said he complained in 2005 about then-U.S. Attorney David Iglesias to a White House liaison who worked for Rove, asking that he be removed, and followed up with Rove personally in late 2006 during a visit to the White House.

“Is anything ever going to happen to that guy?” Weh said he asked Rove at a White House holiday event.

“He’s gone,” Rove said, according to Weh.

“I probably said something close to ‘Hallelujah,”’ said Weh.

The GOP party leader made clear his dissatisfaction with Iglesias stemmed in part from his failure to indict Democrats in a voter fraud investigation.”

How do you “make excuses for cancers”???

Now if you want to talk about pure “evil” take a few minutes to watch the video @@ posted at 3:40.

Hillaryous says she’s the “JFK of 2008.” Based upon what? Being a Catholic? Nope. Being a supporter of tax cuts? Nope. Being a staunch repeller of communism? Nope. Being a believer that you should do something for your country instead of telling the country to do something for you? Nope. Being herself and not having someone else to constanly advise her on how to act? Nope.

Well hells bells. If the Hildabeast is JFK’s ‘08, I’d hate to see Karl Marx’s ‘12.

Well funny you should mention that Markus.

The “anarchy” that catlady promotes here in the U.S. is discussed in the video I linked at 3:40.

The thing is, the anarchy wouldn’t be the result of conservatives’ actions, it would be the result of “soft-on-crime” liberals and those who support them.

A scary prospect indeed. Mob rule.

So what you’d rather have on this blog is the continued, automatic gainsay of anything someone else has said, instead of an actual USE of your intelligence? We’ve got plenty of evidence of evil idiots on both sides of the political fence. Stop trying to defend them! I find it funny that my comments inspire reactions that assume I am speaking from a liberal point of view. Actually, on many issues, I am more conservative than most of the posters seem to be (that I can tell, with all the posturing that goes on). On some other issues, I am probably rather liberal. BUT I DON’T THINK WE SHOULD PUT UP WITH WHAT WE ARE GETTING FROM MOST OF THE FOLKS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE DEBATES. And the handbasket gets closer to Hell every minute that thinking, intelligent people refuse to engage in REAL debate, discussion, and action.

Here’s a never-fail rule for judging the size of demonstrations on your TV screen: If you’re seeing a crowd filmed at street level, it means the journalist on the scene is disappointed at the sparse turn-out. When there’s a super-size protest, the camera jockey mounts a multistory building to pan over the mass. If you only see the front ranks of demonstrators shot with a camera held low, it means there ain’t much behind them.- Ralph Peters Ny Post

What about no pictures at all?

That means there were two protestors, would be my guess.

The “converstions* that catlady doesn’t care to have:

Apparently some American journalists see the difference. NBC’s Brian Williams recently reported a dramatic change in Ramadi since his previous visit. The city was safer; the airport more secure. The new American strategy of “getting out, decentralizing, going into the neighborhoods, grabbing a toehold, telling the enemy we’re here, start talking to the locals — that is having an obvious and palpable effect.” U.S. soldiers forged agreements with local religious leaders and pushed al-Qaeda back — a trend other observers have noted in some Sunni-dominated areas. The result, Williams said, is that “the war has changed.”-Robert Kagan Washington Post

So what are the other 18,500 troopers going to do when they get there?

Kick Al Qaeda’s as-s?

@@,

“Mob rule” is exactly what the liberal neoMarxist liberals want. How many times have you heard them say here that we Conservatives are idiots because we don’t share their viewpoints on things? Otherwise, we’d all get along just fine. Just like a bunch of brainwashed little Eichmans.

Catlady,

“And the handbasket gets closer to Hell every minute that thinking, intelligent people refuse to engage in REAL debate, discussion, and action.”

Does that include namejacking Conservatives on this blog and calling for the “demise” of Wooten and fellow Conservatives, or even calling Wooten a “d!ck” on this blog?

I’m all ears pussycat.

Catlady, puhleeeze. You’re talking to a long time visitor here @@, OO, Objective Observer. One who willingly revealed from the onset that I possessed liberal views on certain issues.

MY OBJECTIVITY WAS IMMEDIATELY CALLED INTO QUESTION BY YOU, YES YOU LIBERALS.

Hence, the name changes, no longer could I be Objective Observer, I changed it to OO, but you YES YOU, LIBERAL continued to question my objectivity, so I changed my name to @@.

Now one of the liberals likes to call me “Boobs”. Not a problem. I just see it as a “liberals projection”.

Go peddle your BS about being a conservative to someone who believes it, and let your usual hatred flow.

Well, since we’re on the topic of Latin America, let’s not forget “our liberal’s hero”, Hugo Chavez.

I’ve heard so many liberals at ml’s talk about what a great thing he’s doing for his people.

Sure he is….

In this context, something that Chavez himself has called the �Venezuelan atomic bomb� has almost gone unnoticed: The creation of 18,000 �communal councils� � self-managing communities of communist-anarchist inspiration that will replace municipal governments and city councils, as well as some functions of the federal government. This phenomenon has been called an �explosion of communal power.�

That’s probably the kind of anarchy Catlady is thinking will “enhance her freedom”.

There’s only one problem. Chavez will be the communist leader. He’ll call all the shots. He will, however, need “communal leaders”. Their job…..stifle any resistance to Chavez.

Maybe Catlady would like that job.

Greetings to you Wooten KKKlanners and other assorted trash.

I’m entering my second week of rehab here at the hospital and there is good news all around. The nurses have loosened the wires holding my jaws shut and have allowed me to sit up a little, they say the traction has made my neck much stronger.

My, it’s been an awful week, lying in this horrible bed unable to move, looking at nothing but the ceiling. I kept hearing little feet scurrying all around me and I knew it was redneckkks, the trash. They came in late one night and took advantage of me, just because my legs are hiked up in this body cast, they lined up on me, one redneck after the other, I didn’t think it would ever end, oh, the abuse.

But it turned out just to be some illegal immigrants on the cleaning crew, the little tykers, they were new in the country and didn’t know to ask first, but that’s O.K. I told them to come back anytime.

Well it’s time for my enema, my favorite part of the day. I don’t need to be distracted by rednekkks like you while Butch is working back there, so say goodbye trash.

If anyone has access to either digital cable or satellite, keep your eye open for the next showing of “Inside North Korea” on the National Geographic Channel.

http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/ET/popup/200703111700.html

It’s unbelievable. A crew goes undercover as part of a medical team curing blindness (cataracts) and shows life behind the REAL Iron Curtain. I’ve been behind the Iron Curtain in Yogoslavia prior to the war breakout in 1997, but it is nothing like this.

One of the saddest things is watching how brainwashed these people are. One old man who had his eyesight restored said “I will take a rifle and kill every American for you our Great Leader!” Yeah old man, all 98 pounds of you.

Markus 4:25,

Did you notice why Hillary says we should elect her in that story you linked?

“So when people tell me ‘a woman can never be president,’ I say, we’ll never know unless we try.”

Sorry Hillary, I doubt anyone has ever told you a woman can never be President, but they might have told you a raving socialist can’t. Should we take that for a test drive too?

“Why does DNR Commissioner Noel Holcomb still have a job in state government? He should have been fired by December 31?”

That’s pretty easy to answer…

My initial reason for reading this “post” was to get more info into the article that referenced DNR Commissioner Holcomb. I quickly found out that their are A LOT OF PEOPLE on hear that like to “hear” themselves talk and no doubt have their chests poked out as they rabidly pound out eloquent opinion after opinion! But that actually is the root of most of the problems that “you people” are arguing about. None of you have the ability to focus on and resolve one sinlg issue. You are like a bunch of dogs chasing your tails around and around and around…

See, the thing is DNR Commissioner Holcomb (and others like him) have been getting away with abusing their dedicated employees for so long because they can fly under the radar without even having to duck their head. If government (and the public too) oversight could focus on single issues long enough to find resolution, things could get fixed; just like replacing Holcomb (for the betterment of the Department and the people that he supervises). But no, we’ve got to get in a p** match about how D’s & R’s are better and less corrupt than the other… Give me a break!

This post went from local govt. to everything under the sun…

And that is precisely my point! Focus people; it’s really not that hard :)
