Katrina. . .THINK before you whine!

2005-09-07T22:38:00.000-04:00

I've heard much too much whining about how "George Bush's" federal government did too little too late to help the victims of Katrina. Few have noted that it was only AFTER they were urged to a decision BY THE PRESIDENT that the mayor of N.O. in the company of the governor of LA ordered a mandatory evacuation. And still they failed to make provision for those who could not get out on their own. The mayor should have martialed all local resources to get EVERYONE out. He did not. The governor should have begun mobilizing the national guard BEFORE THE STORM STRUCK. She did not.

So now he's "pissed" at the federal response. Instead of deflecting blame to the federal government, and whining about how bad things are he should be LEADING his city. My guess is he's doing the best he can. Not good enough.

Update: Read this which reinforces what I suspected to be true of Mr. Nagin. Bill Hobbs is a better researcher than I am.

Update, again: Read this from a writer who is far mor articulate than I can ever hope to be. . .

John Roberts

2005-07-22T18:08:00.000-04:00

John Roberts is considerably more conservative than some would like. He is demonstrably more conservative than the justice he's been nominated to replace. There is evidence, however, that most Americans think he should be confirmed.

It will be interesting to see what the public response is if the dems cannot resist the urge to bork Judge Roberts.

Are Howard's rants making a difference?

Dick, you still don't get it. Our interpretation of what you said was not wrong, Dick. Our understanding of your choice of words was not wrong, Dick.

Your statements were wrong, Dick.

Smokescreens don't help, Dick.
Colin Powell did not draw an analogy between our soldiers and the Nazis.
You did, Dick.
The FBI email did not draw an analogy between our soldiers and Soviet gulags.
You did, Dick.
No other member of the United States government drew a parallel between our soldiers and millions of murders ordered by Pol Pot.
You did, Dick.

I have learned from my statement that historical parallels can be misused and misunderstood. I sincerely regret if what I said causes anybody to misunderstand my true feelings.

Your "historical parallels" were nothing more than hateful, ignorant, treasonous lies, Dick.

More than most people, a Senator lives by his words, words are the coin of the realm in our profession. Occasionally words will fail us and occasionally we will fail words.

You have failed more than words, Dick.
You have failed the Senate, Dick.
Even though they are becoming the party of hyperbole, you have failed the Democrats, Dick.
You have failed on many levels, Dick.
And your statements indicate you still fail to understand and take responsibility for the depth and the breadth of your failure.

"Because our own freedom is enhanced by the expansion of freedom in other nations, I set out the long-term goal of ending tyranny in our world. This will require the commitment of generations, but we're seeing much progress in our time. In late 2004, the people of Afghanistan defied the threats of terrorists and went to the polls to choose their leaders. The Palestinian people have elected a President who has renounced violence. And just four days from now, the people of Iraq will vote in free national elections."

Another step closer to the truth. . .

2004-12-22T07:24:00.000-05:00

An article about a gruesome crime sheds some light on another. . .

During the coverage of the crime, the status of the Bobbie Jo Stinnett's unborn girl steadily changed. All at once on AOL News during the weekend, there were headlines tracking events in the case: "Woman Slain, Fetus Stolen"; "Woman Arrested, Baby Returned in Bizarre Murder"; "Infant in Good Health." Note how a "fetus" -- something for which American law and culture has very little respect -- was somehow instantly transformed into a "baby" and "infant" -- for which we have the highest respect.

How many times are abortionists going to allow themselves to be slapped in the face by the truth before they admit that in most abortions a crime is committed? Yet another such slap is here. With each such event the truth becomes harder to deny.

Intolerance revisited. . .

2004-11-25T09:36:00.000-05:00

Mary Katherine Ham sheds yet another new light on what I've been thinking for quite a while. Conversations I had with a liberal friend during the recently completed election cycle gave me empirical evidence that our friends on the left are not immune to intolerant attitudes, themselves.

Intolerance. . .

2004-11-22T22:38:00.000-05:00

This is an interesting view of our liberal friends, and what real intolerance is. Intolerance is often used in reference to Christians, but not often used where it should be used most often.

The True Nature of "The Great Divide"

2004-11-13T07:42:00.000-05:00

"liberals cannot conceive of morals in the sense conservatives do, because this would require acknowledging a God who has set standards for thought and behavior, and then striving to meet those standards (which, of course, we can't, thus our need for a Savior). The god of the liberals is the state, which is why they must see morals in terms of how the state or the workplace treats the person, while allowing the next generation of workers to be aborted away."

David Limbaugh offers some insight concerning the reasons for the apparent great division in the American electorate. The liberals just don't get it. As with most problems in this life, it begins with the assumptions. Even the hardest science starts with some assumption at its core. The liberal assumption precludes any ability to understand the world from a "red state point of view." Thus the liberal response to the election is not "Could we be wrong?" but rather, "How could THEY be so stupid?"

These experiments are important and should be publicized as much as possible. There may well be alternatives to killing embryos for stem cell research.

First it was a trip to Cambodia that was "seared" in him. . .in his imagination. . . now it's discussions with Security Council members during a trip to the U.N. in 2002.

To Bush-bashers, it may be the most infuriating revelation yet from the military records of the two presidential candidates: the young George W. Bush probably had a higher I.Q. than did the young John Kerry.

This is from the New York Times. The Times has long been pushing the Kerry candidacy, so as cited on Blogs for Bush, this must have been more than painful for them to publish.

Brits Have Lost It.

2004-10-24T09:17:00.000-04:00

On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod's law dictates he'll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?

This is from an article in The Guardian", a British rag that has obviously gone well past civilized limits. Finishing an article full of lies and name-calling with a call for assassination is inexcusable.

Double Standard

2004-10-11T13:08:00.000-04:00

Power Line draws attention to the myopic way our government is enforcing its own rules. It seems that if you see the world in one way you are penalized for certain actions, while if you see it in another (politically correct) way you are rewarded for similar actions.

It's time to see clearly and act justly.

He still doesn't get it

2004-10-11T08:16:00.000-04:00

''We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance,'' Kerry said. ''As a former law-enforcement person, I know we're never going to end prostitution. We're never going to end illegal gambling. But we're going to reduce it, organized crime, to a level where it isn't on the rise. It isn't threatening people's lives every day, and fundamentally, it's something that you continue to fight, but it's not threatening the fabric of your life.''

Johnny still doesn't understand. We can never go back to 9/10 again. How can you tell the 3000 people that died at the hands of those terrorists that they were the victims of a "nuisance"? Our problem is not a "law enforcement" problem. Approaching it as such, as the Clinton administration did, is what made 9/11 possible. Kerry's basic misunderstanding of the nature of terrorism is the one thing that makes him most unfit to command.

Kerry the diplomat

2004-10-03T06:32:00.000-04:00

Kerry with his new, stronger alliance. . .

Kerry, inaccurate and misleading. . .

2004-10-03T01:29:00.000-04:00

Read here.

The man known for exceptional command (and I use that term loosely) of facts in foreign policy matters made a number of "mistakes" during the first debate the other night. Now, were the "mistakes" due to less than exceptional command (and I use that term loosely) of the facts, or were they due to a "nuanced" approach to the truth?

I am pretty certain that a man who can hold, and strongly defend, several positions on each of the most important concerns facing our country has a very different approach to the truth than the approach my mother taught me. As others have pointed out before me, he may make a great "debater-in-chief," but I am more sure now than ever before that I am not interested in seeing him assume the position of commander-in-chief.

Yes, but. . .

2004-10-01T20:18:00.000-04:00

Kerry during the debate last night:

-"I'll never give a veto to any country over our security. But . . ."

-"I believe in being strong and resolute and determined. And I will hunt down and kill the terrorists, wherever they are. But . . ."

-"We have to be steadfast and resolved, and I am. And I will succeed for those troops, now that we're there. We have to succeed. We can't leave a failed Iraq. But . . ."

-"I believe that we have to win this. The president and I have always agreed on that. And from the beginning, I did vote to give the authority, because I thought Saddam Hussein was a threat, and I did accept that intelligence. But . . ."

-"I have nothing but respect for the British, Tony Blair, and for what they've been willing to do. But . . ."

-"What I want to do is change the dynamics on the ground. And you have to do that by beginning to not back off of the Fallujahs and other places, and send the wrong message to the terrorists. You have to close the borders. You've got to show you're serious in that regard. But . . ."

-"I couldn't agree more that the Iraqis want to be free and that they could be free. But . . ."

-"No president, through all of American history, has ever ceded, and nor would I, the right to pre-empt in any way necessary to protect the United States of America. But . . ."

-"I've never wavered in my life. I know exactly what we need to do in Iraq, and my position has been consistent: Saddam Hussein is a threat. He needed to be disarmed. We needed to go to the U.N. The president needed the authority to use force in order to be able to get him to do something, because he never did it without the threat of force. But . . ."

James Taranto as cited on Blogs for Bush points out the nearly every sound statement that Kerry made was followed with a "but." Elsewhere it was pointed out that in most cases everything that precedes the "but" in a statement can be discounted and everything that follows the "but" is what really counts for the speaker. If that logic is applied to what Kerry said last night, he exposes himself as a great pretender, full of half-truths and sophistry. Still unfit for command.

Federal Judges

2004-09-27T22:55:00.000-04:00

"In an AP-Ipsos poll taken last week, 56 percent of those surveyed said they wanted the president to nominate a Supreme Court justice with conservative political views if a vacancy occurs; 37 percent said they preferred a justice with liberal views."

The quote is taken from an article cited on POWER LINE. I find this amazing. Where did these numbers come from? There's got to be an explanation for the lopsided look to those numbers. Are we waking up to what the real dangers of activist judges might really be? Are we actually taking a look around us and saying, "Hey! Wait just a minute!"? I certainly hope so! If that's really the case it's not happening a moment too soon.

Debates

2004-09-25T10:25:00.000-04:00

As the first of the Presidential debates approaches a thought occurs to me. Which Kerry is Bush to prepare for? What is the best way to prepare for a debate with a man who holds all positions on the most important issue of this campaign? Kerry's been the pro-war candidate and the anti-war candidate, sometimes it seems both at the same time!

So how does Bush prepare? I feel certain that President Bush will maintain a steady course as he has throughout the campaign and, as it did during the Republican Convention, that steadiness will compare well to the "nuanced" half-baked half-truths of his opponent.

Someone help me out here. . .

2004-09-19T01:14:00.000-04:00

The more I learn about the esteemed and ever personable Mr. Kerry the less I want him in the White House. I never wanted him there much, but now much less than ever before.

I'd like to hear reasons to like him. Please don't start by telling me that the best reason to like him is that his name is not Bush.

Dan Rather is an optimist

2004-09-18T15:12:00.000-04:00

I just went to the CBS News website and watched a clip of Dan Rather's defense of the memos that were the basis of his Air National Guard story. I must say the man is an optimist. He's an optimist if he honestly thinks we, his viewers, are stupid enough to believe his spin job:

We presented a story about the President of the United States. The story was based on documents that are forged. If the documents are forged I (Rather) would like to be the first to break that story (too late, Flash. . .it's broken). If the documents (which were the basis for the story) are false, the story is still true. . .because the White House has not said it's not. I (Rather) think the viewers
understand. . .

Forgive my paraphrase. I could not find a transcript.

I, for one, understand. I begin to doubt if Mr. Rather understands. Listen to yourself, Dan! You'd never accept that kind of tripe from someone you were interviewing! It's not acceptable from you. You are an optimist to think it might be. . .

An example to follow. . .

2004-09-16T13:37:00.000-04:00

"I would like to say something . . . to the men who were in Vietnam who I hurt, or whose pain I caused to deepen because of things that I said or did. I was trying to help end the killing and the war, but there were times when I was thoughtless and careless about it. . . . I want to apologize to them and their families." Jane Fonda (1988)

When is the esteemed Mr. Kerry going to follow Ms. Fonda's lead?

Why. . .?

2004-09-13T22:44:00.000-04:00

. . .does Mr. Kerry continue to refuse to release all of his military documentation? He made his Vietnam service the centerpiece of his campaign. A very odd move for someone who is offended by any mention of that time period by anyone else. Why would one credited with a gifted intellect not see the value in supporting his history with his "paper trail"? If everyone else is wrong about his service and what followed it, why not show us all the proof?

Mr Bush released his documentation months ago. Of course he's not nearly as intelligent as Mr. Kerry. . .and he doesn't have anything to hide. What could possibly be in Mr. Kerry's paperwork, that would frighten such an intelligent and forthright gentleman?

How horrible!

2004-09-09T21:50:00.000-04:00

Cheney says we are more likely to face another terrorist attack if Kerry is elected. How could he say such a thing? How unamerican! How hateful! How dare he!! The dems are appalled.

The dems like their candidate are two-faced.

It's horrible of Cheney to say what he said, even if it is the truth. But it's ok if the dems screech at the top of their lungs that Bush "betrayed" us. . ."mislead" us into war. . .is "unfit" to be commander in chief. . ."stole" the election of 2000. . .was AWOL from the National Guard when he served during the Vietnam war.

The facts are: He was not AWOL. . .nothing was stolen in 2000, although the dems tried in Florida. . .Bush has already proven to be a fine commander in chief. . .he did not mislead us into war (we are in a GLOBAL war as we speak and I would prefer that we err on the side of caution where WMDs are concerned). . .Bush has not and will not betray this country. . .and finally. . .we will be more vulnerable with Kerry in the Presidency. His "flexible" interpretation of the truth (so handily trumpeted by the dems as "nuanced") will surely, if given the chance, make for a much more dangerous world.

Colonel North "brings it on. . ."

NPR. . .I'm tuning to the left!

I've known for years that to listen to NPR you have to "tune to the left." As I age it seems I'm having to tune further and further left. Zell Miller spoke at the NRC, in New York. He pasted Kerry pretty well. Talked about Mr. Kerry's voting record and what he thought about it. I got the impression Zell is not very impressed. He listed a number of wepons systems that Kerry voted against during his career in the Senate. He talked about Kerry supporting the authorization of war in Iraq followed by his vote against support ($87 billion) for the troops.

I was not really surprised when NPR ran a "yes but" attack on Miller the day after his speech. The democratic party was thrilled with the spin supplied by NPR, I'm sure. Zell Miller, a life long Democrat, shared his opinion of a democratic party gone too far to the left, and the man they have nominated as their choice to run for President of the United States. Based largely on Kerry's record, Miller's opinion was clear. Although they could not dispute the veracity of Miller's facts they proceeded to excuse Mr. Kerry on each point.

They concluded their "analysis" by pointing out how "negative" and incorrect the Republicans are in their criticism of Kerry. They also pointed out that the DNC had not been negative at all. Both points were untrue. Not only were the Republicans very restrained in their criticism of Kerry, but the DNC went out of their way to call the President a liar who "mislead" the country into war. This is a lie that went unchallenged by the "analysts" at NPR, because of this organisation's political bias.

As I finish this little note, I renew my determination to stay in contact with those opposing our President. I'll just have to keep tuning further and further left.

Here is a link to the text of Mr. Miller's speech:

The RNC is over. . .W has a double digit lead, according to one poll. Life is good.
