We've got to stop these 'cheerleaders' for the loony liberals!

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate,
tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds."

This was out early this morning, yet last night the author was on Crossfire and i hear he was on with Lou Dobbs today at 6.

Something is just not right. And Drudge is still running it. Drudge either got burned, or his exposure forced them to bring him back on today.

FReep me after you read it."Bias" was a total waste of time. "The Final Days", by B. Olson was incredible.

Wow!

If CNN can shuffle Europe around that easily, we'd better be careful what we say about Ted Turner. I don't want him to move Michigan into the middle of California under any circumstances.

Mr Turner, I'm sorry about all my previous posts.

OK, Dude?

Ach, it's happening.

Did it say: By all means we have to protect one of our own liberal commie black mailers so keep this under raps and it will go away? No matter what happens the people must only know the "truth" we tell them?

Hey! You can suffer, too!

Once they got rid of Arizona (my state), putting New Mexico right next to California in one of their wonderful graphics.
