Jagged Little Pill -- If you harbored any lingering doubts as to the motivation of Cindy Sheehan, grieving mom turned Mother Peacenik, harbor no more. Sheehan's latest nerve-scraping -- an Internet-posted open letter to Barbara Bush -- reveals her in all her politically motivated glory.
She sheds her usual passive-aggressive drivel and goes for the throat. For those who have been on another planet or taking mind altering substances, a refresher course on the origins of

(The 1990's? The Decade of Fraud(s)™...)

http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/ The Secrets Of Hollywood
Four years after 9/11 and almost three years after America deposed one of the most vicious and genocidal tyrants of the 20th century, Hollywood finally has decided to make a movie about the Iraq War that actually depicts the US forces as the protagonists. Does this news come from the American media? No, we get to find out about it from the UK, and Michelle Malkin:
I can't wait to see this one at least a couple of times, at least as an antidote to the idiotic Constant Gardener. I expect that the Hollywood press will treat this as a dirty little secret, sniffing at the jingoism of Bruce Willis and declining to give this effort much coverage. Hollywood prefers its war movies as psychodramas where American soldiers get portrayed as murderous thugs and nutcases, led by incompetents in pointless missions that do nothing but kill everything that moves.

NETWORKS PLAN 'END OF AMERICA' SHOWS -- Folks, this scenario might lend itself to a conservative view of what is going on now. Assume the scenario is that the peacenik dims gain control in '06 and '08 and promptly negotiate "peace in our time" with the islamofascists, who promptly nuke us into obscurity.... like Niven/Pournelle's
Fallen Angels, where the premise is that global warming is real and the Greens take control and put in the "right programs" to cure everything. Only then do they discover that global warming is the only thing keeping THE ICE AGE AT BAY.

http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/ Bush To Finally Address Immigration
In need of some momentum in Congress for legislative traction, George Bush has finally decided to start addressing illegal immigration and the porous southern border of the United States.
At least the issue will find its way back to the national debate, with some momentum to finally get legislative treatment next year.

Another Item For Which To Give Thanks
The Cindy Sheehan Traveling Road Show appears to have lost its steam, according to multiple sources this weekend. The protest camp shut itself down outside the Bush ranch in Crawford, TX this afternoon after drawing less than 200 protestors over the holidays -- Power Line has a picture of Sheehan waiting for people to come sign her book on Saturday. The only reason the Left has dropped Sheehan is because of her speaking out against Hillary Clinton. After the thousands that thronged to "Camp Casey" -- which Sheehan has now leased from the Crawford farmer for all of 2006 for more of such spectacles -- the turnout for the fall version of the protest shows that Sheehan has come to 14:59 of her allotment of fame. Cindy is now a footnote in the last chapter. The Media is on to the "We, Democrats are responsible for the troop withdrawl. And, any Iraqi success stories are because of us as well, btw." chapter.

Then for sure, only criminals will have concealed weapons... the International Association of Chiefs of Police as an all-around anti-gun organization. They've come out for the AWB and against regular citizens having concealed carry. This is just an extension of that. And it will likely make them even more hated among the rank and file police officers, most of whom support the RKBA. |

Bush to focus on illegal immigration -- It's going to require that average citizens like you and I make a lot of noise about it - letters to our Senators, Congressman, and Governors.

CRACKING DOWN ON ILLEGALS? [Prez Bush And His Amnesty Program Equals Do Nothing] -- Bush's own appointed Social Security Administrator, in June 2004, signed a Totalization Agreement with Mexico that will, among other things, allow:
- A Mexican illegal alien to apply for and receive US SSA benefits after working only 6 quarters (18 months --illegally, of course). US citizens (read: you and me) have work 40 quarters (10 years) before we're eligible. Not only that, but the Mexican illegal alien can have his benefits mailed to him, at home, in Mexico.
- A Mexican illegal alien can apply for and receive US SSA benefits for his Mexican wife and Mexican children even if his wife and children have never stepped foot in the US.

There have been numerous investigations. None has found any evidence that the president lied.
There is no new evidence that suggests that yet another multi-million dollar investigation should be undertaken.
This idiot is trying to score political points at an extremely high cost to our country.
Joe Wilson Hints at Impeachment -- Every Repub;ican needs to stand firm and not go wobbly in 2006 just because the RATs control the MSM.
We will all hear non-stop the drum for IMPEACHMENT from now until Nov 2006, bank on it. So work for the Repub you think deserve to be re-elected and STAND STRONG even in the face of seemingly negative news. Remember that in the most part the RATS and their willing accomplices in the MSM
are simply making up the news.
They Shoot Helicopters, Don’t They? -- What's really galling is that the media ran hundreds of lying stories about black criminals running amuck, looting stores and raping little kids, and then blamed Bush for being a racist.

The Savage Nation vs. the Bushbots --
As regards the so-called "war on terror," Savage points out that you can't win a war when you're afraid even to name the enemy. Bush squandered 2005. I don't have an explanation for it. I'm hoping that today's speech and the speeches of the last few weeks signal that he's coming out of his fugue and will start being the President.

Stuck in the city (Toronto elites oblivious to the realities of the world that is Canada) -- The article is a précis of Ibbitson's new book, The Polite Revolution. It's important if only because it delivers in a single package the national perceptions of the little journalist-academic circle in Toronto that has
assigned itself the onerous burden of telling Canadians who we are and what we think. What's puzzling, however, is that they actually believe what they write,
for their every premise is simply false.
Bosnia: Haven for Islamic radicals? -- Read up on Muhammad, Islam, and the muslim world. No propaganda, just their own holy book and hadiths are enough. There is more than enough there to show any reasonable person with any decency that Islam is pure evil. And it will kill us unless we stand firm and fight back.

How Afghan Captivity Shaped My Feminism -- My friends, future journalists, artists, physicians, lawyers, and intellectuals, wanted only to hear fancy Hollywood fairy tales, not reality. They wanted to know how many servants I had and whether I ever met the king. I had no way of communicating the horror, and the truth. My American friends could not or did not want to understand. As with my young college friends so long ago,
today's leftists and progressives want to remain ignorant.
http://www.littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/weblog.phpThe Dubliner bills itself as “the definitive guide to Irish culture.”
And this November, they published a truly vile piece by Justin Keating, denigrating Jewish hstory and culture, and stating that Israel has no right to exist. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)
I have reached the conclusion that the Zionists have absolutely no right in what they call Israel, that they have built their state not beside but on top of the Palestinian people, and that there can be no peace as long as contemporary Israel retains its present form. I hasten to make clear that none of this gives me any pleasure, but in the great scheme of things my personal wishes do not weigh heavily in the scale pans of history. I wish I did not think what I do, I hope I am wrong. My conclusions are based on the answers to five questions.
1. Did the Jews of the Old Testament come from what is now Israel? The answer is No.
2. Are the Jews of the world today simply the descendants of the people of the Diaspora two thousand years ago? The answer is, only in part.
3. Does the right of return apply to people who occupied some land two thousand years ago for a historically brief period, to the detriment of those who have been there since? Obviously no. Imagine a world where every people claimed that right.
4. Did the Balfour Declaration give the Zionists the right to establish a state in Israel? The answer is no. At the time the British Government had no right to give.
5. Did the United Nations Resolution of November 1947 give Zionists the right to establish the present state of Israel? The answer is no, and they have continuously and relentlessly violated that resolution for more than half a century, so that any tatters that now remain are void, by their action.

Abramoff Client Heading Investigation
Democrats have tried painting Jack Abramoff's sleazy and allegedly criminal lobbying efforts as a strictly Republican scandal for the last several months, tying Abramoff chiefly to Tom DeLay. However, as the investigation into Abramoff continues, more and more ties to Democrats have emerged, including Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid. Now it appears that the ranking Senate Democrat on the committee that has taken the lead in investigating Abramoff has more than a oversight connection to Abramoff himself:
Believe me, I'm delighted to see anyone crooked get his just desserts; as far as I'm concerned, men like Randy Cunningham should do a couple of tours at Club Fed if they use their positions of trust to sell out for bribes and kickbacks. Anyone who did so with Abramoff should bunk up with Cunningham at the first oppportunity. However, let's quit pretending that Abramoff represents some sort of Republican "culture of corruption" and instead acknowledge that the sleaze has a much more ecumenical stench than the Democrats want to acknowledge. Otherwise, they'd be better served by keeping their mouths shut.

From Today's Ottawa Sun : 12 Years of Liberal Boondoggles
1993: CHOPPERS
Upon taking power in 1993, the Liberals killed a contract to replace the aging Sea King military helicopters, resulting in at least $500 million in cancellation penalties. The 40-year-old, accident-prone choppers are still flying.
1995: GUN REGISTRY
(1995-2005) Originally forecast to cost $2 million in 1995, the auditor general predicted in 2003 that actual costs would escalate to $1 billion by 2004-05. Other independent calculations have suggested the costs have actually ballooned to $2 billion.
1997: PEARSON
Liberals paid $60 million — $45 million in direct out-of-pocket expenses plus $15 million for lawyers — to Pearson Airport Consortium in 1997 as compensation for cancelling the privatization of Terminals 1 and 2.
2000: FUEL REBATE
A botched $1.4-billion heating fuel rebate program doled out cash to the wrong Canadians. Then-finance minister, Paul Martin, announced the gift just before the 2000 federal election, but the auditor general later discovered that as little as 18% made its way to low-income Canadians. Some rebates went to dead people, prisoners and students who were living at home and didn't pay heating bills.
2000: HRDC
Calling accounting problems “widespread and serious,” the auditor general revealed in 2000 that $1 billion was mismanaged in job-creation grants handled by Human Resources Development Canada, under minister Jane Stewart. A recreation of the paper trail later found only a few million was improperly disbursed.
2002: CHALLENGER JETS
The Liberal government spent $101 million on luxury Challenger jets deemed unnecessary by officials at the Department of National Defence. An auditor general's report said the purchase, rushed through on the last day of the fiscal year in 2002, broke purchasing rules.
2003: RADWANSKI
Inadequate oversight and spending controls allowed former privacy commissioner George Radwanski to rack up thousands of tax dollars in lavish lunches and luxury travel. Last year, the auditor general also found that Radwanski and executive staff were improperly cashing out vacation, overbilling for expenses and creating a hostile work environment.
2004: OUELLET
Ex-Chretien cabinet minister Andre Ouellet piled up a $2-million expense tab during his reign at Canada Post. He resigned after a damning audit criticized his hospitality expenses and how contracts were awarded under the sponsorship program, but claimed he was working on the “honour system.”
2005: DINGWALL
David Dingwall, another Chretien crony who landed a plum post as head of the Royal Canadian Mint, resigned his $277,000-a-year job after it was revealed he and his aides ran up more than $740,000 in expenses the previous year. Adding insult to injury, taxpayers are also on the hook for a severance package even though he voluntarily quit.
2005: ADSCAM
The auditor general revealed that up to $100 million of the $250-million sponsorship program went to Liberal-friendly advertising firms for little or no work in 2004. After a public inquiry, Justice John Gomery’s report exonerated Prime Minister Paul Martin but blamed Chretien’s inner circle for an elaborate kickback scheme that saw the Liberal Party receive as much as $769,497 in backdoor donations. The program was established to boost the national profile in Quebec after the 1995 referendum on sovereignty.
You can use these issues with your people to help them realize why they shouldn't re-elect a Liberal Gov't

Greg Staples;
I just wonder if the journalist who upon receiving this email and decided that these were marching orders is proud that he's busted? (go here and click Tuesday - 3:35)

The Globe and Mail report on new polling that they have conducted at the cusp of the no-confidence motion. While the polling sample is much smaller than the previous Robbins survey and not media independent -- an important point in Canada -- the polling reports on geographical breakdowns. This shows a major shift in one of the strongholds of Liberal politics and reveals a surprising weakness in the coming election Comments (17)

Although she offers herself as an impartial journalist searching for truth, her tract seethes with Bush hatred. Comments (3)

http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/ Mainstream Offers Inaccurate, Silly Opinion On Blogs-- In the world of politics, blogging has opened up a huge field for right-of-centre thinkers to communicate with each other in real time. That did not exist prior to the internet, which has become an invaluable tool for spreading our ideas. The liberals and socialists always had a compliant MSM with a monopoly or near-monopoly on disseminating information in the past.
An article on political blogs
Hugh Hewitt described it, as an internet guide or "cyber sherpa".
Compromise reached on weapons bill (WI) -- Has anyone counted up the number of INFRINGEMENTS in this claptrap of a law?
Lordy, how much longer are we going to put up with this? I think it would be interesting if some statistician somewhere would compile a list of all the laws on the books in the USA that are pure infringements of the Second Amendment. My guess would be that the list would probably circle the globe a time or two.

'Do you love Canada" staged question - video evidence? --
Go to here and click on the link for the Harper video.
Near the very end you get the 'Do you love Canada' question. Notice that the camera cuts (not pans) away to the prestitute asking the question. Very odd, I don't think I've ever seen that done before in a scrum. Some camera guy had to get his camera at the ready on the asker so they could cut to him, so they needed another camera there.
This was planned way in advance.
Last election it was "scary", now it's "Harper hates Canada".
Speaking of Dummies?
Beware the Marxist who wants to control the internet. -- I have noticed that government has relaxed its restrictions on gambling casinos. Even though gambling may not be like Internet use, there is an addictive quality to it. It would be like the government to foster a huge population of people into the world of gambling; only to declare a major epidemic of gambling addiction.
Funny you should mention that. Consider that the government subsidizes tobacco. They pour I don't know how many millions or billions of dollars into subsidizing it. And then they turn around and sue the manufacturers of tobacco products and further regulate the industry with onerous fees and other taxes.
Stop attacking our friends -- The world is choosing up sides. The Bolsheviks and the Islamists vs. the Christian West. I know who I'm going to stand with.
Smart, or Stupid? -- I have NEVER seen such an overt and complete effort by the media to stomp a president into the ground.
The Perverse Logic of Abortion -- Speaking to the reporter, this young woman acknowledged that she understood that abortion is, at least in some sense, morally wrong. "There's things wrong with abortion," she commented. "But I want to have a good life. And provide a good life for my child."
Uh, which child is that, Miss? The one you hope to have someday, when it is convenient? Or the one you just paid to have sucked into a sink?
http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/ First up is the still-mysterious case of the Oklahoma University suicide bomber. Mark Tapscott, who's covering the FBI investigation, has some interesting developments about whether or not they will be able to put their heads together to get to the bottom of this case.
Michelle Malkin has a trove of documents on the case for amateur sleuths to peruse as part of her own coverage on the case.
Kate at Small Dead Animals takes a look at more evidence that the mainstream media still has no real understanding of blogs. Dozens of commenters appear to agree.
Jon Henke, one of the best in the blogosphere, shreds John Kerry and the White Flag Democrats in the aftermath of the Bush speech. No sooner does Kerry claim that no one in their caucus is talking about artificial dates for withdrawal from Iraq than his own party leader, Nancy Pelosi, demands all troops be withdrawn within six months. I guess the White Flag Democrats were opposed to dates before and after they were for them, huh? (Dafydd notices the same thing.)

Nguyen lawyer savages death penalty --
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong made it clear the city-state would go ahead with the hanging.“The evil inflicted on thousands of people with drug trafficking demands that we must tackle the source by punishing the traffickers rather than trying to pick up the pieces afterwards.”
Logical. Not very nice, but logical.
Officials look for other ways to fund superhighway -- Texas and other states are looking for another route to fund the corridor, a state transportation official said Tuesday.
How about we quit sending the tax money to DC? Let's just collect the tax and funnel 100% of it directly to TexDOT.
Oh wait, the fed's could not threaten us with witholding funds in order to enforce b.s. laws.
