JFK plot, Demo debate and cell phones

Thinking Right’s weekend free-for-all:

Just back from a trip to Cuba, which will be the topic of columns to come, I once again thank God for the good fortune to have been born free and into a free-enterprise economic system. Nobody can predict Cuba’s future 10 years after Fidel Castro is gone, but capitalism would do wonders for the place.

The most astounding story of the week was not Cuba, though. It was the TB patient who travelled the world after being diagnosed with a potentially deadly, drug-resistant disease. If, indeed, he was informed not to travel, his actions are abominable.

After the terrorist plot to blow up aviation fuel tanks at John F. Kennedy Internaitonal Airport in New York was foiled, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) still refuses to even acknowledge that some credit is due the Bush Administration for keeping America safe. Hillary, to her credit, did in Sunday night’s debate. “I believe we are safer than we were,” she said. Both voted against funding the war, but Hillary has the savvy to be President. Obama doesn’t. Why not acknowledge what’s plain to every fair-minded American? Bush does deserve credit for preventing another terrorist attack here.

What’s too much government? One that tells us that during a drought we can water food gardens, but new landscapes can be watered for a maximum of 30 days after planting, as garden guru Walter Reeves explains. What’s dumb government? One that uses the water on corn to make taxpayer-subsidized ethanol.

Residents of Roswell and other locales are invited to rat out the neighbors if they see them watering plants at the wrong time. I hate what we become during shortages and drought. We won’t enforce immigration laws, but we’ll become vigilantes on something far less important. I rat out my neighbors for abusing children, dealing drugs and shooting people who don’t deserve to be shot.

The charter school law just on the books is a major achievement for Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle — and for believers in school choice for parents. Gov. Sonny Perdue has hope that the charter districts allowed under the bill will become “laboratories for innovation in education.” Now what’s needed is approval of legislation proposed by state Rep. Ed Setzler (R-Acworth), House Bill 469, that would allow universities and local governments to authorize public school charters.

Some 220 prisoners trained as firefighters pulled extended shifts fighting fires near the Okefenokee swamp, which got a good dose of rain over the weekend. Why didn’t they run? Firefighter Jimmy D’Alvia’s response: “It ain’t worth it. You did something wrong. Do your time and go home.” D’Alvia’s serving 10 years at Hancock State Prison for trafficking in methamphetamine. My band of right-wingers will give those who work to better themselves (firefighters) and those with the right attitude, like D’Alvia, an early release — and pray that we’ve done right by him and the rest of us.

Persistence pays. A voice on the line advises the wait will be “more than five minutes.” After holding for one hour and seven minutes, a state employee providing “taxpayer services” in the Department of Revenue, to whom I had been transferred, took the call. And then transferred me four minutes later.

It’s a “hate crime,” according to the U.S. House, if the victim is gay or female — but not if it’s a soldier, sailor, airman or Marine.

The U.S. House is pure theater, a place where frivolous people play to the campaign cheap seats. If the Senate concurs with the House, this is another one the president should veto. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, in Sunday night’s debate, promised the hate crimes legislation, plus domestic partnerships, civil unions, and an end to the don’t ask-don’t tell policy. Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards supports ending the don’t ask-don’t tell policy, but had the good sense to say that “I don’t think the federal government has a role in telling states and churches what they should allow” with respect to marrige laws and ceremonies.

When my band of right-wingers take over, we’re cracking down: No cellphone calls may be placed or received from a public restroom. Or from any restroom where accompanying noises identify location.

Technology changes, but rude remains.

Good morning all. Cuba is not on my list of potential vacation sites- due to the political leadership - although they should have great weather and beaches. Seems like PJ O’Rourke said something like Jim’s opening statement also. If you really want to exploit The People and run down the economy, let a socialist run it.

I must be old. The idea that a TB patient traveled anywhere boggles my limited intellect. You would think consideration for others might enter the calculus, but I understand this guy is a personal injury plaintiff’s attorney, i.e., a Democrat.

The aviation fuel plot hits me as odd – a story on Drudge said this would have killed more people than 9/11. Hope to hear more, sooner.

As to drought and ethanol, maybe we’ll die from thirst, but at least our Green vehicles will still run. However, on immigration vs. drought, I respectfully disagree with JW’s perspective – drought leads to death, immigration to economic growth. Most immigrants need less water than a St. Ives lawn; it is a question of macroeconomic yield. As to the other examples cited by JW, I agree – each of those could merit a death penalty (even some drugs ought to be illegal, although certainly not the formulary presently in statute) and thus ought to be enforced.

I like the idea of allowing charter schools an end run around local government dictators. The government school districts do not deserve a monopoly.

The D’Alvia story impresses – when I tell people that most criminals are like D’Alvia, nobody believes me. It is almost always a case of somebody who did something stupid, not a truly evil heart at work. “Hate,” alone, ought never be actionable, and should not stand as an independent charge; otherwise all socialists would be incarcerated. That, however, is also the perspective that persuades me to oppose most statutory criminal law – unless it merits execution, there should be an alternative to deprivation of liberty.

Until Roosevelt, we regarded the states as the individual Petri Dishes of our democracy – federalization has cost us more than most realize. Noticed today there is a movement in Vermont to secede – please, let’s offer them cash to follow through.

I disagree with Mr. Wooten. Bush doesn’t deserve credit for jack.

New Orleans is still sucking wind, our food supply is less safe, our infrastructure (including our damns) is crumbling, our national debt has grown exponentially, health care costs and health insurance premiums are soaring, more people are uninsured, violent crime rates are soaring, abortion rates are up, the infant mortality rate is up, the poverty rate is up, the earth is warming while Bush studies and talks, more innocent people die and flee from Darfur, income disparities are widening, 9/11 report recommendations regarding communication for first responders and securing our nuclear and chemical facilities haven’t implemented, our military forces are near a breaking point, our National Guard is grossly undermanned and under equipped for domestic emergencies, college tuition rates are soaring, illegal immigration has exploded (thanks to Bush announcing a potential “path to citizenship” for the last several years), more high-paying jobs are getting outsourced (e.g. India), the national savings rate has dropped to below zero, the situation with Israel and the Palestinians (and in Lebanon) continues to deteriorate, North Korea has grown significantly more dangerous, Osama Bin Laden is still free, Afghanistan is deteriorating, Al Qaeda has grown, the Taliban is resurging, T.B. guy can easily sneak into the U.S. despite the fact that his passport has been flagged and he’s on a, apparently worthless, “no fly list”, and…what am I forgetting? Oh yeah. Iraq.

The top five things to give Dubya and the right wing conservatives credit for:

  • Sex. Without the conservatives and Dubya wanting to ban all sex education in schools, no teenager will ever know about sex. Good JOb Boys!!

  • Color Coded Alert System. How did we ever live without “Yellow” and “orange” security alerts before? When will we see “mauve” “Peach” “Burgundy” and “Hibiscus” alerts? We the people can hardly wait.

  • New Words In Websters. Since Dubya, we’ve learned new words like “Cheneyed” (the art of being shot at by accident while hunting OR the art of telling the same lie over and over in hopes you’ll bore everyone to death until they fall asleep; thereby slipping your piece of bull or “legislature” through the channels while the US is napping); new words like “BushSh#t” (self explanatory), “Foleyd” (having a dirty old man email your grandson) and of course “Schiavoed” (the government intervening in your right-to-life lawsuit; while you lay wasting away with tubes stuck up your nose and butt).

  • Catching Osama Bin Laden!!! What?!? You mean after millions of dollars, thousands of lives, and the rebirth of the Taliban in Afghanistan they STILL haven’t caught him? Oh well, better luck next time boys!!

  • AND the number one reason to give Dubya and the right wing conservatives credit:

    Singlehandedly making more straight, heterosexual men/women GAY, so that in case of a draft, (with the increasing depletion of able bodied troops from death, dismemberment and not re-enlisting), they, Gay America, won’t have to go to War!!! Good Job Guys!!! Unfortunately, due to the twins recent “exploits” they can’t be termed as “Gay”; but perhaps they can fly under the “bisexual” banner!!!

    You George DUBYA Bush, Are a GREAT AMERICAN!!!!! (Band playing in background)

    Jim wants to early release crankheads if’n they seem reformed to him…

    Was it stupid behavior, or someone so out of touch with decent society that he didn’t see any harm in sellin’ a little crank. Georgia rednecks are terribly self-absorbed, products of a gutter culture that glorifies laziness (selling drugs is an easy business, not requiring any special skills or edumacation) violence, and disrespect for authority and law.

    (Fightin’ fires can be a lot of fun for a sociopath. I’m sure clowns like Andi/e and Markanus spend their days listening to emergency scanners waitin’ for fires to break out so they can have a day off from bloggin’. When they aren’t setting them themselves.)

    And what’s the esteemed Mr. D’Alvia gonna do when he gets out, Mr. Jim? No fire department will hire him, thankfully. Let me ask you this, Mr. Gummint Hater - During his 10 year term, what skills did Mr. D’Alvia learn, ‘ceptin’ how to get along better with other sociopaths?

    I’ll wager he’s a Georgia high school drop-out, now with a criminal record. Other than your job, which obviously doesn’t require much thought and/or ethics, what else in Atlanta would you have him do?

    Courtney is right. jbmlaw is an idiot. The only problem with Joe’s accurate 8:10 post was that it barely scratched the surface with regard to the damage that this President has done (with the help of his Congressional backers, supporters and apologists).

    I do not know the lay of the land/ terminals/ etc at JFK, having never flown to NYC.

    That said, I can draw from my knowledge of ATL and the properties of jet fuel to state this:

    Depending on EXACTLY what the plot was (I hadn’t heard of it till I read this column), the LEAST amount of damage would have been severe structural damage enough to put the entire airport out of commission for weeks - at a minimum. Knowing that JFK is NYC’s primary airport, this would have wreaked SERIOUS havoc on our nation’s air transportation system. A more deadly plot - I can think of some elaborate but stunningly easy ideas assuming a sufficient level of funding- could possibly have leveled the airport and surrounding area for at least a half mile radius around the site of the initial blast and caused SEVERE damage up to 2 miles out. Again knowing that JFK is NYC’s primary airport, this level alone would kill at LEAST double the 9/11 casualties, probably injure as many as have died in combat in Iraq, and overall be a FAR more major blow than 9/11. In some ways, I kinda wish our forces HADN’T stopped it in time. Coming at this point, it would have absolutely insured that not a single Democrat would be elected in ‘08 - from School Board and Councilman positions all the way to 1600 Pennsyvania Avenue.

    Did you stay up all weekend concocting that little propaganda piece? Or were you “Cheneyd”? That is, according to you, telling the same lies over and over??

    I’m pretty sure that people knew about sex before conservatives suggested “Just say no!”

    So, everything in Afhanistan isn’t going “peachy keen” therefore it is a total failure. Yeah, throw in the towel even when nobody there is asking for it. More cut-n-run!! And you mentioned Osama. He is hiding in a cave in the Himalayas, not on the sidewalks of NYC. See the difference??

    Which brings to mind Iraq. More tries for cut-n-run by Democrats who talk out both sides of their mouths. Fund it but cut-n-run from it…

    Are you referring to the President’s daughters in that last spiel? That’s sinking pretty low, don’t you think? Most people believe that attacking a person’s family for political reasons shows lack of character, especially when it is all lies. Evidently there are no standards for Democrats.

    YES, Georga W. Bush is a great American. Not perfect but then we have never had a perfect president. When Democrats cool down and history warms up, it will be said again “George W. Bush is a great American.”

    The US may be one of the wealthiest countries in the world but throwing millions of gallons of processed municipal drinking water on our lawns doesn’t make us look too smart. While it doesn’t make headlines, Georgia is fighting a water war with Florida and Alabama. Climate change and the ensuing drought is not helping matters.

    The seating arrangement for the Democratic candidates was interesting. You had the three “well-groomed” charlatans center stage while Kucinich and Gravel adorned the outside margins. Kucinich should have been seated in the left margin though. He’s a dreamer.

    Gravel? Put him on the right. He’s a straight shooter who doesn’t miss an opportunity to take a direct shot at his fellow Democrats. What was it he said…”Let’s get real here, all these programs they’re proposing are gonna cost money.” The guy is a hoot.

    Good morning all,

    Hi Dusty,

    My you are quite the comedienne this morning, aren’t you?

    For example, you said:

    Are you referring to the President’s daughters in that last spiel? That’s sinking pretty low, don’t you think? Most people believe that attacking a person’s family for political reasons shows lack of character, especially when it is all lies.

    I imagine you’re incensed, therefore, with all of the comments that were made about Carter’s family and Clinton’s brother. Good for you, Dusty (very fair and balanced of you). Heh.

    Then, of course, you mentioned that W was up there with the great presidents. Ummm, I don’t really think he’ll be equated with Washington,Lincoln, or FDR.

    Actually, I’m a bit skeptical that he’ll be mentioned along with A. Johnson and Fillmore. Unfortunately for us all, he’ll probably wind up with his own special category, as worst ever.

    It’s unfortunate because he’ll also likely wind up as the most well compensated former president ever (through speaking honoraiums, board service, and, um, the “friendships” of others), while we collectively pick up the pieces of the then-previous eight years.

    The dems looked good last night. The GOP frontrunners weren’t too bad in their own prior debate. At least we can take solace in knowing the next president will be a marked improvement, regardless of political affiliation.

    Greetings, rarringt @ 10:14

    Well, no, I was not going for comedy this morning unless you mean my suggestion that liberals have some standards. That is a bit rediculous I admit.

    Jimmy Carter and family? Don’t remember giving it much thought. Seems like Billy Carter, now deceased brother of Carter, did manage to get out and urinate in public. Is that what you mean? Yes, my mother said that was in bad “taste”. But maybe you disagree. That’s the most I heard about that. Most of what I heard about was the ineptitude of Carter.

    How about Lincoln and Bush?? Lincoln was “cartooned” as an ugly monkey (Luckovich), led a controversial war (Iraq), accused of getting rich off war profits (oil), replaced many generals over war defeats (Petraeus), freed slaves (Afghans, Iraqis), Gettysburg address ignored (State of Union speech), despised by Southerners (liberals), and accused of being the worst president ever. Yep, there are many similarities between Bush and Lincoln. History will notice.

    I didn’t watch the Democrats “show and tell” last night. Like I said, I am really not into comedy.

    Some 220 prisoners trained as firefighters pulled extended shifts fighting fires near the Okefenokee Swamp, which got a good dose of rain over the weekend. Why didn’t they run? Firefighter Jimmy D’Alvia’s response: “It ain’t worth it. You did something wrong. Do your time and go home.”

    Jimmy D’Alvia’s response was correct. If you have done something wrong, you do your time and go home. There is no need to run when you are guilty. Convicting the guilty is a result of good government.

    The questions for right thinking Americans, especially African Americans, are should a person attempt to escape from the clutches of the criminal justice system at every opportunity if he or she has been wrongly convicted? Is the staff at correctional facilities doing a good service when they give wrongly convicted people with good attitudes early releases? Should wrongly convicted Americans have good attitudes while incarcerated? Should the prison staff punish and prolong a wrongly convicted person’s stay in prison because the inmate doesn’t conform, the Angola 3? Does an innocent person convey a good attitude by pleading guilty to a crime in order to receive leniency? Does an inmate exhibit a bad attitude when he fights for his constitutional rights?

    Should faith and trust in the criminal justice system and God be synonymous?

    Though the criminal justice system wrongly slays too many of us, yet our trust and obedience shall not fail.

    Dusty,

    In the interest of saving others from your historical illiteracy:

    Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address was not “ignored”. In fact, Lincoln himself felt that it had fallen flat, but the Northern newspapers, led by Horace Greely, felt otherwise and elevated the speech to contemporary prominence. It was quickly spread through the North and highly regarded by most at the time.

    But don’t let the facts get in the way of your opinions. Why start now?

    Further, the plot’s “mastermind” shows about as much mental snap as Jose Padilla (not to mention our own Dusty), another of the horrible bogey men you simpering cowards like to use for your cheap terror thrills.

    JK,

    Oh, Jim’s considered a journalist for purposes of traveling, which should be pretty much at the top of the list for Americans without relatives in Cuba, so no biggie.

    A number of years ago, I was actually there for a week courtesy of a student exchange program, which were readily available in the pre-9/11 days. Cuba is a beautiful country, in terms of both its people and lands, but is mired in the most terrible poverty this side of Haiti.

    Cubans, at least back then, love Americans and all our cultural idiosyncracies: baseball, hip hop, Levi’s, Pam Anderson, etc.

    What they vehemently hate is American policy, and it’s nasty habit of singling out their country, (which hasn’t really committed a hostile act against us) for punishment, despite the actions of many of our friends in North Korea and Iran, among other countries.

    Camus@11:34,

    Even though you may have been at Gettysburg at the time and read the newspapers, I refer to one that wrote about Lincoln’s “Mawkish harangue”.

    Lincoln’s address was not even found to be interesting until 1880 and whereabouts when his message was noticed and needed.

    Edward Everett Hale’s two hour speech at the cemetery was held in high regard at the time. Much higher. History revealed the simple greatness of the Gettysburg Address.

    Gather some facts yourself when you want to be disagreeable, Camus.

    DebbieDoRight,

    I’m just fine, thank you. Thought of you the other day. Heard Dr. Tom Cole speak. He mentioned Spelman. See, somebody’s heard of it. Nice guy, Dr. Cole.

    President Bush is too busy for spelling bees and such. He leaves it up to liberals to play games. He is running the country while liberals cutnrun and still fund the war. At least they have enough sense to do that.

    Dusty,

    Having just completed Shelby Foote’s chronicle of the Civil War, I will stand by my post regarding Gettysburg Address. But please, feel free to continue to believe whatever “facts” comfort your beliefs.

    Jeff,

    Granted that you may not have had a chance to review the facts of the JFK case. This just points to the Right Thinkers’ tendency to leap at the latest terror scare as proof of whatever hysteria is current.

    The culprits here had a clear wish, but lacked training, financing, and any sort of technical expertise. (e.g., I myself have a wish to bed Scarlett Johansen, but based on clear analysis, I seriously doubt that it will ever happen.)

    As to the explosive properties of jet fuel, its combustibility is predicate upon its being under high pressure. The piping system under the NY area is replete with pressure valves that serve to isolate small areas and to keep the fuel from being pressurized to combustible levels.

    Simply stated, the plot had no chance of success because it was flawed in conception, lacked financing, and was to be attempted by simpletons.

    So, some knucklehead wannabes have been arrested. Fine. Are we any safer than we were before they were arrested? No, because there was no real danger to begin with.

    Pictures of Cuba show beautiful old buildings. It’s enough to run preservationists crazy. But not to worry. If they all fall down on the population, those folks have UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE.

    Camus:

    When Clancy published a book where the last major incident in the book is a 747 slamming into Capitol Hill during the State of the Union, “there was no real danger to begin with”.

    When some Muslim terrorists improved on that idea and sent 767s into the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon, we last thousands of lives and billions of dollars in damage.

    ANY plot, no matter whether it can be pulled off successfully or not, provides pointers to an improved version that someone WITH the capability CAN pull off.

    Are we safer that they were arrested? Yes. It takes numbskulls off the street, if nothing else.

    Would we have been even safer had the details of the plot been left classified? Most certainly. Because now that the ideas are out, they can be analyzed and improved on, then implemented.

    Final question: Given the circumstances as they exist at 12:39 EDT Monday, June 4, 2007, are we in fact more safe or less safe?

    I would say that we are LESS safe, but only because the American Public insists on knowing every detail of anti-terror operations.

    RCH: I did’t mention war in Iraq, you’ve confused me with someone else.

    I dislike talking too seriously about the War because I have too many friends and family members at stake; so I try my best to not become strident in my opposition to the war — It’s too close to home for me and not just rhetorical and abstract.

    However you did ask the question of The terrorist have a focal point where to battle us. If we cut and run, what type of killing do you expect in that region? I expect the full fledged Civil War that America has been keeping at bay, to reach full throttel. I expect that the Civil War will further destabilize the region and whoever is the military victor will control the oil fields of Iraq.

    Should we continue to intervene? At first I thought that it was imperative that we do in order to stabilize the region — however with the mismanagement and subsequent FAILURE of the Bushies to contain, isolate, and eliminate the enemy, I think that now we are just using our soldiers are cannon fodder.

    The only way the US can effectively turn the tide in Iraq and Afghanistan would be to reinstate the draft. Our troops are tired, tiredness can lead to ineffectiveness — we need fresh “blood” in order to infuse a substantial change in Iraq. No one however, not the Democrats NOR the Republicans would DARE bring up the “D” word, (draft), in fear of loosing their jobs - but, IMO, a draft, with fresh troops with fresh legs, is just what’s needed.

    Its both quite sickening and chilling how glibly the leftist scum on here and also in the party of hate media attempt to glibly minimise the now quite constant stream of ‘domestic’ towel head terror plots. There have been numerous plots discovered ranging from an intended shooting rampage in a yankkkee shopping centre, bombing a sky scraper in Chicago - to attacks on major airports, NY bridges and NJ army bases etc. The point is hardly how well planned and funded these plans may have been, but the fact that they actually occured and are still presumably occuring. There is now undeniably a growing visceral hatred, by a growing “cadre” of mostly naturalised and/or illegal immigrant mohammedan types who are here amongst us of this country and its freedom. And all the leftist turds do is sneer and minimise at any successes by the authorities that prevent attacks. For this sick and twisted dogturd laughably calling itself Camus to assert that there was “no danger to begin with” merely underlines the arrogant braindead imbecility of the left. If these “wannabes” had simply transferred their hateful Islamist anti-American aggression to a more simple, ‘realistic’ suicidal/homicidal target then someone somewhere would have been at serious risk. Who knows they might have just blown up a few oil storage tanks at JFK or bombed a busy terminal if the subterranean pipeline was beyond their explosive reach. Hopefully ‘Camus’, - like minded leftists - and any of its family that subscribe to its poisonous supercilious brainlessness would have been there to ensure that those of us who know better were not the innocent victims who literally had to absorb the explosive results of the “lack of real danger”.

    ” If immigration reform isn’t OK’d soon say by fall, when election fever sets in…The next chance won’t be for 2 years. Meanwhile businesses are in a bind. There aren’t enough legal workers, at least not enough who want unskilled jobs. Labor shortages are already apparent: 10% fewer workers than last year to pick crops. Gaps at meat and poultry processing plants. Too few nannies and maids for working people. Landscapers that can’t keep up with demand. And restaurants and hotels short on staffers to run kitchens, clear tables, and clean rooms”.

    Sure, I liked Shelby Foote too. Nothing like a fine Southern writer. And I don’t think he was accused of plagiarism like Ambrose.

    Ah well. We all agree on the great values put forth by Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address. I read it every time I go to the National Cemetery in Beaufort. The Address is written on a metal marker at the entrance.

Believe me, if we really wanted to we could make a huge dent in the illegals here today, but I agree with you that will not happen. We do not have the stomach for it. No I don’t have a crystal ball but I have the past. It has proven me right.

    More from the Kiplinger Letter:

    "Will California be the kingmaker in the 2008 presidential election? In subsequent elections, Democrats have largely taken for granted California's huge prize of 55 electoral votes in their campaign strategy. Arnold Swarzenegger, California's popular governor will gin up support for the Republicans. The GOP, however, will need a moderate candidate to have a chance in California. Swarzenegger won't warm to a conservative. The primary will push republicans in that direction by forcing the party's candidates to play to major California issues: Global warming. Health care. And comprehensive immigration reform. That last issue is crucial, given California's large Hispanic population".

    The news just keeps getting worse for those of you on that right wing doesn’t it? All of a sudden it just ain’t cool to be “conservative”.

    Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez’s refusal to renew the license of Radio Caracas Televisión (RCTV) might seem to justify fears that Mr. Chávez is crushing free speech and eliminating any voices critical of him. Amnesty International; Human Rights Watch; the Committee to Protect Journalists; and members of the European Parliament, the US Senate, and even Chile’s Congress have denounced the closure of RCTV, Venezuela’s oldest private television network. Chávez’s detractors got more ammunition last week when the president included another opposition network, Globovisión, among the “enemies of the homeland.”

    But the case of RCTV – like most things involving Chávez – has been caught up in a web of misinformation. While one side of the story is getting headlines around the world, the other is barely heard. The demise of RCTV is indeed a sad event in some ways for Venezuelans. Founded in 1953, it was an institution in the country, having produced the long-running political satire program “Radio Rochela” and the blisteringly realistic nighttime soap opera “Por Estas Calles.” It was RCTV that broadcast the first live-from-satellite images in Venezuela when it showed Neil Armstrong walking on the moon in 1969.

    But after Chávez was elected president in 1998, RCTV shifted to another endeavor: ousting a democratically elected leader from office. Controlled by members of the country’s fabulously wealthy oligarchy, including RCTV chief Marcel Granier, it saw Chávez and his “Bolivarian Revolution” on behalf of Venezuela’s majority poor as a threat.

    RCTV’s most infamous effort to topple Chávez came during the April 11, 2002, coup attempt against him. For two days before the putsch, RCTV preempted regular programming and ran wall-to-wall coverage of a general strike aimed at ousting Chávez. A stream of commentators spewed vitriolic attacks against him – while permitting no response from the government.

    Then RCTV ran ads encouraging people to attend a march on April 11 aimed at toppling Chávez and broadcast blanket coverage of the event. When the march ended in violence, RCTV and Globovisión ran manipulated video blaming Chávez supporters for scores of deaths and injuries.

    After military rebels overthrew Chávez and he disappeared from public view for two days, RCTV’s biased coverage edged fully into sedition. Thousands of Chávez supporters took to the streets to demand his return, but none of that appeared on RCTV or other television stations. RCTV News Director Andrés Izarra later testified at National Assembly hearings on the coup attempt that he received an order from superiors at the station: “Zero pro-Chávez, nothing related to Chávez or his supporters…. The idea was to create a climate of transition and to start to promote the dawn of a new country.” While the streets of Caracas burned with rage, RCTV ran cartoons, soap operas, and old movies. On April 13, 2002, Mr. Granier and other media moguls met in the Miraflores palace to pledge support to the country’s coup-installed dictator, Pedro Carmona, who had eliminated the Supreme Court, the National Assembly, and the Constitution.

    Would a network that aided and abetted a coup against the government be allowed to operate in the United States? The US government probably would have shut down RCTV within five minutes after a failed coup attempt – and thrown its owners in jail. Chávez’s government allowed it to continue operating for five years and then declined to renew its 20-year license to use the public airwaves. It can still broadcast on cable or via satellite dish.

    Granier and others should not be seen as free-speech martyrs. Radio, TV, and newspapers remain uncensored and unthreatened by the government. Most Venezuelan media are still controlled by the old oligarchy and are staunchly anti-Chávez. If Granier had not decided to try to oust the country’s president, Venezuelans might still be able to look forward to more broadcasts of “Radio Rochela.”

    You may have been hearing that the Dow Jones Index is at an all-time high. It’s true. However, it is only 16 percent higher than the day George Bush came into office. By comparison, when Clinton left office the Dow was 320 percent higher than when he came into office.

    It’s a very rough measure of course, and there are many others. But by that measure, during the Clinton years investment in America’s leading business had grown more than three times over. Under Bush it’s only grown 16 percent in six years. Since the consumer price index is up 18 percent over the same period, when the new all-time high is adjusted for inflation, growth is effectively below zero.

    Dear Charles @ 11:31, great post. It is fun for me to mock our criminal courts, but a rough justice works out - not too many truly bad ones get off, and not too many angels go to jail. Our courts are more likely to inflict a punitive financial cost on defendants, guilty or otherwise - that is the true “evil” of the system.

    Dear Bart Jones @ 3:02, actually we have several leftist news organizations in the US that routinely plot a coup, fanning hysteria with slanted and even false reporting, and giving aid and comfort to the enemy. We don’t shut those down in the US. Your apology for the dicatator of Venezuela is disingenuous and unbecoming.

Desperate straits have left them liberated, and they are acting out their disdain. Bush thinks his base is stupid and that its heart is in the wrong place.

    Conservative Bush supporters feel like sufferers of battered wife syndrome. You don’t like endless gushing spending? Too bad! You don’t like expanding governmental authority and power? Too bad. You think the war was wrong or is wrong? Too bad.

    Hi Dusty,

    My, you are full of zingers, aren’t you?

    Let’s go one at a time:

    Gettysburg Address - I don’t know who this “Hale” fellow is, but you are partially right, as the man who spent the two hours on the podium was actually Edward Everett, then the most popular orator of his time.

    He went on and on, and then Lincoln gave his two minute “mawkish” speech. It was reproduced around the country and the relatively small part of the world then interested in american matters.

    “Hale” sent Lincoln a wire congratulating him for “saying more in two minutes than I did in two hours”

    I suspect your “source” was either a confederate paper or the 19th century equivalent to Fox News, and thus not credible, but in truth even some of the editors of the NYT were critical.

    But the impact was real. People then, as know, view it as a fundamental aspect of our democracy which, while it has no force of law, has or should have undeniably persuasive impact in spirit.

    But I’m sure the Vicksburg Confederate Gazette missed that bit of bad propaganda.

    My trip to Cuba - once again, you show your great capacity for ignoring fact which don’t comport with your opinion (and high capacity for flights of the imagination).

    Speaking of flights, mine was in 2001, long after the CMC. Sorry I didn’t introduce myself to you, as apparently you were also on the plane.

    Let’s also not forget that was more an issue between us and the Russians. Liberal-hack history shows our friends in the CCCP were miffed about our deploying medium rance nuclear missles in Turkey, and responded by deploying some of their own in Cuba.

    The crisis ended when the Russians agreed to remove theirs immediately, followed by our removing the missles in Turkey 6 months later.

    At any rate, that doesn’t qualify as “Cuban-American” tension. Unless you’re an adherent to the Dusty School of Applied (and adjusted) History.

    Still, I’m interested in hearing about Jim’s Great Cuban Adventure, especially in the evenings “interviewing” la muchachas de La Rampa (all part of the “cultural exchange,” of course). Heh.

    Yeah, let’s get back to the “good old days” of “peace and prosperity” where we all just stuck our heads in the sand for no less than EIGHT islamofascist terrorist attacks while Billyboy got his pole smoked by some fat@ssed skanky intern and others like Sandypants Berger didn’t do his job, which is why he stole classified intel documents relating to the 9/11 investigation and destroyed them. Yeah man, the good old days indeed.

    Sick, sick, sick.

    The Captain wishes to express his deep despair at the oncoming Clinton presidency. I have long felt that this abomination against God’s will could not possibly win, but if markus guarantees that she will not, I fear we are doomed.

    For here is a man who despite representing the True Belief with more honesty than most, unheeding of the personal embarrassment he heaps upon himself, has never been right about a damned thing in his entire adult life. No Right Thinkers, I fear we are doomed to suffer a not-man person as President, likely for eight dreadful years of peace and prosperity. Nice going, markus.

    At least we have this for comfort…Herself is barely a not-man person, and may in fact be a Lesbotrannyslamofascist who is neither man nor woman, but rather a succubus s/he-devil upon which we can foist our deepest fears and disfunctions.

    Berger’s case will NEVER be over, you hypocritical demented sicko. That’s because he DESTROYED EVIDENCE. Kinda like a body not found doesn’t mean a murder didn’t happen.

    Perhaps Mrs. Johnson should return her Presidential coin to President Bush if it was that insulting to receive one with a little advice.

    I will give Mrs. Johnson the benefit of the doubt because of her grief. But like Cindy Sheehan, she may eventually realize she is being “used” by Democrats anxious to spread seemingly “insensitive” news about President Bush.

    This report would never have made any real newspaper anywhere. It was a simple sad comment made by a grief stricken mother who received a gift to honor her son killed in action. The insensitivity was the press who reported this heart broken mother’s unhappiness and the moment’s sad reminder of her loss.

    Yeah, Vince Foster thought she was great too, at least thats according to the latest love story published by Carl “Watergate” Bernstein, until she busted a cap in his head.

    She can’t wait to shower her “love” on America, I’m sure.

    As a Christian first and a Conservative second, I am pleased immensely that you sniveling Cowards are going to blow your one and only chance to take total control of the government, implementing your whole putrid little agenda, blowing that chance on this filthy pig.

    We’re gonna smear this POS in a way that will make MoveOn blush and gasp with embarrassment.

    We have a litany of sordid episodes to use and the year is still young.

    KMA.

    Pantyqueef liberal reporter and news briefing on the shakedown of Slick William Jefferson:

    “Is this politically motivated?”

    HAHAHAHAHA!!! Did any of those representative wingnut liberal jackal “reporters” ask that question when the filthy RATS were going after Bush administration people?

    God liberal RATs disgust me with their blatant twisted hypocrisy. I’ll bet these idiots don’t even LISTEN to themselves. If they do, like gitmo, they are so deranged they can’t decipher “What’s wrong with this picture?”

    Flaming lib Matt Lauer is going to Cuba. Have a question you want him to ask or report back on? Post it here.

    You think he’ll ask a question like why people are constantly trying to leave that “glorious” nation that the diseaed left loves so much like communism? Nah.

    Amazon reviewer of the book “Clinton Crack-up: The Boy President’s Life After the White House.”

    “I’ll preface this by stating I voted for Bill Clinton but was bored to death by both “My Life” and “It takes a village”.”

    “I was astonished to learn the breadth of Bill Clinton’s involvement in the Genocide of almost a million black Rwandans, and have become convinced after reading this book that this and this alone will be his legacy.”

    “Clinton spearheaded the US decision to refuse to even to commit soldiers or money to UN efforts to control the civil war in Rwanda where a million blacks died in 100 days. Clinton went so far as refusing to even use the term ‘Genocide’ to refer to the massacre.”

    “The book had some tantalizing tidbits included numerous allegations of his affairs with and preference for Asian women, along with icy and excruciating details on the Clinton marriage with some not-so-border-line spousal abuse issues. I have more empathy for the guy after reading how his wife treated him.”

    LMAO. The “good old days” indeed. Look for a plethora of Hitllary bashing books to come out this year and next. {smile}

    Hell to pay, and Hell to freeze over.

    “Lets get back to the good ole days of Clinton (peace and prosperity) and sideline these lunatic, white power, wingnuts, forever in the minority. Sure they will try to blow up abortion clinics and gay bars, they are dangerous. They will try to assassinate our leaders but we can stick them in Gitmo where they belong forever.”

    Told ya gitmo is one sick twisted individual who’s a danger to America’s democracy of diverse thought. This little nazi liberal tool wants to jail those who don’t share his twisted, warped, MASSIVE character flawed viewpoints of a diseased liberal. Man, when I’m right, I’m right. I’m ALWAYS right.

    Greetings, friends, and Woo-tan Klan garbage, it is We your Pope.

    Rantings and ravings from Il Douche, Lady Markanus, and the Curly girl herself, POS Andi/e - nothing new to report.

    The Pope hopes that the AJC has extra security protection for the great Mike Luckovich, the Pope’s Political Cartoonist Laureate. The unrelenting obsessions of a certain woman from Marietta are disturbing…

    S/he is obviously insane, the only question is whether s/he is criminally insane.

    And, of course, its cowardice…

    Lady Markanus, the grease monkey, is less of a threat. Insane, sure, but even more stupid than his gal pal.

    And just as cowardly.

    Whiny little b-itches both of them.

    This is the most cynical Woo-ten Klan blog yet. On Monday Wooten wants to pardon felons doing 10 years after being convicted of trafficking methamphetamine.

    “My band of right-wingers will give those who work to better themselves (firefighters) and those with the right attitude, like D’Alvia, an early release.”

    Today he wants to pardon presidential advisors that were tried and convicted of breaking the law. All the while, the neocons are railing against immigration reform because illegal immigrant bricklayers and yardmen aren’t showing sufficient respect for the law. This type of transparency is why necons are labeled racist and xenophobe. You don’t care about the rule of law when it comes down on white male offenders but you will bust an artery screaming about amnesty for Latinos that mow your golf courses and clean your toilets. At least Goofey Toofey has the honesty to say what she thinks about Mexicans. The rest of you neocons are pathetic liars.
