Glenn Beck has apologized this morning to all of us that started watching '24' this season based on his recommendation.
He is also saying that he was about to give up on '24' last night because the witers interjected PATRIOTIC Arabs that own a gun store, and are proud to be American and stand with their American brothers to go up against whoever committed the terrorist acts.
WHAT A LINE OF PC CRAP!
I, for one, have not heard a single Arab-American stand up publicly and say that they denounce Islamic terrorism and are willing to stand up with their American brothers to fight this scourge on civilized society.
We've gone from a great reality based action drama that rips headlines from the papers, showing MOST terrorists as they actually are...
To a PC line of BS influenced by the usual suspects, liberal producer, directors, and studio execs, AND a TINY, loud-mouthe minority of bleaters and whiners.
A disgusting FRAUD-of-a-show.
AND, it LOOKS as if the show is turing AWAY from REALISTIC MUSLIM terrorists, to point to EVIL WHITE guys in the defense industry, and maybe even in the military itself.
What a JOKE.
I MAY watch another show or two, but I think I'm DONE after only ONE season of viewing this PC garbage.
Glenn Close is overrated. ;)
I thought it was more like 75% Christian.
2. There are no sleeper cells in America (What a naive idiot you are)
The fact is Putin has done much good and your assertion that GWB feels different about him now is simply silly - Having "concerns" about how certain situations are handled is far from saying GWB doesn't trust or like Putin anymore - You see adults recognize that they won't always agree with each other (especially when leading different Countries) but that does not mean one then thinks the other person is "bad" -
Again, how utterly foolish of you - We also have concerns about how Tony Blair manages much of his domestic politics with regard to England - Are you suggesting GWB shouldn't trust him as well because of this?
Do you not understand the reality of what Putin is dealing with in the Former Soviet Union? - Obviously you don't - You have a very naive view of how international politics work - Putin has established much reform with regard to "economics" within Russia - (economic freedom is needed as any base for a successful nation) - Especially one trying to emerge out of decades and decades and decades of Communism - Do you know Russia (under Putin) has a "flat-tax" (income tax) - Set at less than 20% - (We could only dream of that here) -
So the notion that Putin is all bad is simply a unrealistic view - Or the notion that because he sells military equipment to other nations that makes him bad....is again just terribly naive.
Get a clue - The whole World is armed by either US, Russian or French military equipment (Hell, Iran is still flying American F-14's).
As for al Qeade (did you get it yet) sleeper cells why are you so assured they are here? - We have only removed them from Afghanistan, brought freedom to Iraq (which is spreading and they hate it), we have killed over 3/4 of their leadership and killed thousands more of their foot soldiers......So what are they waiting for - (why haven't they hit us yet, if they are here?) -
Are they just waiting for us to bring freedom to the entire ME before they react? - Please.
While they surly want to hit us.....the fact remains we have kicked their as$es like they never imagined. We have fought the most successful unconventional War in history! - We are (and have been) systematically and deliberately destroying al Qeade and other terror organizations daily and nightly (going on for over 3 years now).
The fact is al Qeade is on the run - They are not in command or in control (by any means). They are scared sh*tless -
And the answer is to fight them over there....not wait until they get here!
And don't give links to "supporters" (in America) of Islamic nut bags over there - Because that isn't a sleeper cell - (a sleeper cell is one that intends to hit American targets...one that has a mission and is looking to execute it) -
So, without linking to someone else thoughts (try using your own for once) what is your reasoning for why al Qeade sleeper cells (that you are so sure are here) why haven't they hit us (do they just like watching themselves losing everyday worse and worse?).
Yeah, but I'm willing to bet that since The Shield is as well written as it is, she'd have no choice but to rise to the quality of her fellow actors...
Hopefully not, but if so, we'll just have to kill a whole lot more terrorists.
Protect your backside again!! - Reality is about to kick it (again) -
I lived in MI for (and still have a house there) about my first 30 years and I can tell you while Dearborn certainly has segments of foolish Arabs...they also have whole segments of truly great American loving Arabs as well -
In fact lets look at some facts (reality). In the Key Battle Ground States of MI,OH, PA and FL in 2004 GWB received just about 30% of the Arab vote!! (not bad for a bunch of people who you insist are all bad) -
Hmm, but you insist there are no good Arabs (U.S. supporting arabs) - (and what might we ask is your take on African-Americans?? - Since the Arab population voted about 20% more for GWB than African Americans did).
Thanks Glenn...
You sick freak.
Sounds like a plan.
Why didn't GWB in one debate say this to the American public?? - Why hasn't VP Cheney - (oh wait, or do you know more than they do....yet again?) -
It is because the WMDs (Shells) we found were from Saddam's late 80's program were already accounted for - These were not the WMDs we expected to find when Tenet declared to GWB finding an "active" WMD program in Iraq was a SLAM DUNK -
The premise prior to our invasion in 2003 (with regard to WMDs) was that Saddam was continuing with an "active" WMD program - That is the fact - (now I am only talking about WMDs here....the rest of UN Res 1441 dealt with a whole other list of items where Saddam was completely in the wrong and needed to be removed).
But lets get back to the WMD equation. Why GWB and Cheney have never declared "we found them" is because they are men of integrity (men on honesty) and they know that those "shells" were not the WMDs we were expecting to find! - They were not part of the detailed list Powell put forth to the UN (prior to the invasion).
You see, you can't stay honest or consistent - But thank God our President can! - I sleep well every night knowing we have an adult running things -
I love '24'. It's pretty much the only show on T.V. that I actually try to watch every week!
I had no problem with 2 Arab men loving the country they now live and standing up for it. I thought it was nice!
Besides, Kiefer Sutherland is a cutie! ;-)
I don't have a problem with that.
Last night, two guys are holed up in the middle of a major city, alone against mercenary commandos, in the dark, one of them is a federal agent, and the feds and the police can't get to them.
And this is the 3rd or 4th major armed standoff this federal agent has had SINCE HE GOT OUT OF BED.
The plot is silly beyond even television standards.
Well, it's not a union job, and he is on salary, so I'm sure he'll get plenty of comp time after the day is over...
Linda Vester had the Muslim mother on her show. She said although she is Muslim and American, she does not believe in the jihad that the fanatics do, in fact she said that with that level of fanaticism they could not be true Muslims. But she also said that the person she portrayed in the show is not unlike some terrorists so she had no problem portraying them because some Muslims are truely evil.
I watched it for the first and final time last night. The only worthwhile thing I got out of it was seeing my wife blow soda out of her nose during the dialogue in the gun shop. I cant believe Rush watches this poo!
"Do we know that they were Muslims or is that an assumption?"
No, we don't know that. As I saw another person point out, we don't even know the terrorist family are Muslims, just Arabs.
A lot of people do not realize how many Christian Arabs there are. And of course, there is confusion over non-Arab Muslims. Add to that the general confusion of Hindu and Sikh Indians with Arab/Muslims and one can easily see the potential for misunderstandings.
The Arab/Muslim "sporting store"-in-the-ghetto-yet-in-the-vicinity-of-big-important-office-buildings brothers was a bit of a strain on credulity, but hey it IS only a TV show.
I mean that all pales in comparison with the idea that these terrorists were going to melt down 9 nuclear reactors as a "distraction" from their plot that carries on!
You should have heard hubby critique the timeline from last year's 24 hour plot!
24 was soundly criticized for suggesting that Mid-easterners are terrorists, so last night they bailed them out. Neat huh?
You have to understand... '24' is basically a soap opera for men.
Hehe.
The season was written and filmed long before that stuff came out.
