The Repubs are idiot in a bubble--

they are running from Bush- but because they don't realize that his poll number convey not that Bush is too far right-- but becasue Bush is leaving his base and moving left...not staying STRONG on certain areas and issues...

like Gitmo, borders, etc...

NUTZ! these people just have no clue...they listen to the same media for information that lies and scandalizes them...
THAT IS JUST PLAIN STUPID! Like listening to the Baghdad Bob for battle updates...

ooops forgot the last part!

THAT IS JUST PLAIN STUPID! Like listening to the Baghdad Bob for battle updates...

Rabbi wants to get rid of nationalisn.

Neuhaus: That people would come to know Christ, as the unifying principle.

Joan: ???

The Mooslim: Over all inclusivism....??? Babble

I was one of those unfortunate people that worked a lot of hours at my job and home, and never heard any News but the MSM sound bite crappola. I was a registered Democrat just like my Parents, and did not agree with most of the Policies of the Dems that were outlined in the Newspaper before an election so I voted Republican mostly. Finally in 1991 I called the local Broward County Democrat Committee and asked them "why are you making me vote Republican by putting in candidates that I do not agree with at all?" Their response was "if you don't like it leave we do not need you." I told them I did not need them either because I was not a Socialist. One Year later, I changed to Republican after spending one Year as NPA, and have never looked back. Thank God for Rush Limbaugh, he led the way out of the sewer hole of lies by the media for a lot of ex-Dems.

Last night, I attended a long and very formal Easter Vigil at the Cathedral for the first time in my life. I was so heartened to see about 50 people being welcomed into the Church .. both through baptism and confirmation, 2 different groups. I'm very happy for you ...

To all Christians, I wish you a blessed Easter .. "we are the Easter people."

The "generals" look to all have personal agenda .. books, possible election runs, sour grapes. I was so happy to see Gens. Meyers and Downing (ret.) chastising these rogues yesterday .. and emphasizing that constitutionally OUR government's defense dept. is run by THE CIVILIANS, and it's so inappropriate to publicly rebuke this administration in time of war. We know it's all about "getting" Pres. Bush. Is everything .. every tradition and system ... subject to Dims' revisionist schemes?

We don't get Boxing Day off either. Some state employees get Easter Off. For example, the library is closed today.

OTOH, we get made-up "PC" Holidays like MLK day and Columbus Day off.

There are 10 holidays a year recognized by the US government. I assume the number of holidays per year is about the same in the UK.

Many old-media execs are making "frantic moves" on the Web, out of recognition that they "must do something to salvage their failing roles and their diminishing and distracted audiences."

Gn 22:17 your descendants shall take possession of the gates of their enemies

Newspaper sale$ decline should be blamed on the Journos
. . .
People who work at journalism full time ought to be able to do a better job of it than people for whom it is a hobby. But that's not going to happen as long as we "professional" journalists ignore stories we don't like and try to hide our mistakes. We think of ourselves as "gatekeepers." But there is not much future in being a gatekeeper when the walls are down.

When I heard Rush mention last week that Cuba is planning on drilling 40 miles from Florida's shores...I just had to laugh...

LOL
