Alas Babylon!

#53; "Nah, it’s just Connecticut. It’s a RAT hole. Connecticut, after all, is the NUTmeg state. ... Remember what the looney left there did to Joe Liebermann. At least enough of what’s left of the Republican party there voted for him over the idiot the dems selected."

#42; "Yeah, that would be a winner. Gore / Reagan unity ticket? Who is she kidding? Must be a real hippie liberal like we have in Austin." (Note: reply to maica's post #16)
#66; "Most of the NE coast should be considered a RAT hole, just like Austin is in Texas. Remember that article about ronnie earle running through the woods naked a few weeks ago? Not a single word in the Austin paper about that incident. ... If that had been the Republican DA from Williamson county, it would have been on the front page above the fold for several days." (Note: reply to Alas Babylon!'s post #53)
#90; "The DBM is desperate about silencing Rush and other talk show hosts, so they have the monopoly for all the “news” (lies) that is fit to print or spread on TV. Look at their ratings and you will see why they are doing nothing to tell the truth about Rush. I don’t even turn on the tube anymore and I intend to stop my Austin paper when the current subscription expires."

#97; "'Don't they ever give up and face reality?' ... No, they don't. That's why President Hillary Clinton is just as inevitable as President John Kerry was in 2004, and as inevitable as President Al Gore was in 2000."
#101; "I think it is a good idea for Democrats, and especially democrat staffers on a government payroll, to get their shots before they are allowed out in public. After all, I have to provide evidence that my dogs have their rabies shots before I can get a tag for them, so it sounds about right to get some kind of guarantee that the staffers won't infect decent people while they are outside the beltway. ... Won't be long before somebody proposes changing the name of the town from Washington to Trantor."
#257; "It used to be important in America to eliminate disease, or at least minimize the risk of human beings contracting bad diseases. Then the perceived need for cheap labor came along, and now we have seen the rebirth of TB, measles, etc. as illegal aliens bring back all sorts of things to this country."

#26; "And yet they let these people on the air, like they’re normal or something. ... I’d like to point out that one of the more amusing Moonbat actions this past week was the edict for staff members of the Homeland Security committee to get their innoculations before mingling with the riff-raff at NASCAR as they go on their fact-finding mission. ... The edict called for shots against all sorts of nasty stuff like diptheria and, get this, Hepititus...the real bad one. ... If anything illustrates how these political elites view the great unwashed who carry this country on their backs while raising the citizens and soldiers of tomorrow, it is this memorandum that would prevent our betters from getting the diseases we so obviously spread. ... I could tell y’all a story about how I caught a Delaware political elite being...well “elite” comes to mind. I did it in public and it was almost better than sex. I had that RINO begging me to forgive him....well maybe later. I’m still reveling in the moment. ... Oh, and there’s that personal email I got from Rush Limbaugh. He apologized to me, yes he did. Again, maybe later. ... Good stories and if you beg me, maybe I’ll share them. ... Heh." (Note: reply to maica's post #16)

#23; "I sent an e-mail to Chris Wallace last night encouraging him to press Rep. Hoyer about the treasonous Turkey/Armenia/Genocide resolution. The Dems can’t stand that good news is coming out of Iraq. They have to stir the pot and offend an ally who has given us overflight rights for our men and material. I’m so angry about this. President Bush and some ten former Secretaries of State pleaded with the Dems not to do this. ... This action has the potential to put the lives of American soldiers and Kurds in danger. Turkey has been waiting for a reason to attack the Kurds. Nancy and company have given them good reason by offending them. Some have dubbed it 'Nancy’s War'. Indeed."

#221; "Listening to TW, you’d think the other candidates might as well just get out of the way, because MCCain is back. ... 1. Tancredo kicked his but in the last debate. ... 2. McCain is not liked within the party and certainly can’t be trusted. ... He belongs in the 'Snowballschanceinhell Party' ..."
#261; "For your reading pleasure, Tancredo’s KO of McLame: ... TANCREDO: I just want to quickly respond. I certainly can agree with the senator on one thing: that the government — that the people of this country believe that the government is broken and hasn’t fixed their problems to a large extent because of the senator’s efforts in support of illegal immigration. That’s one reason why they’re concerned. ... And you’re absolutely right. The government hasn’t fixed the problem. And for every single illegal immigrant family in this country, it costs $20,000 — it costs us $20,000, $20,000 in infrastructural costs. They pay about $10,000 in taxes. You really want to do something to restore the people’s faith in government, do something about illegal immigration, don’t just talk about it."

#329; "It was a treat having Brit Hume moderate FNS today. His interview of Republican John Boehner was informative and Boehner was serious, getting a lot across in a short time. He explained that the veto of SCHIP was because the program has drifted from helping poor children caught between Medicaid and affordability of private insurance. He specified Minn and Wisc as having more adults than children benefiting from SCHIP and Republicans want to make sure the money goes to where it was intended, poor children. Regarding Turkey, Boehner essentially said the current, or third, proposal by the RATS to condemn the nearly century old genocide of Armenians was bad for American troops etc. OTOH, democ rat Steny Hoyer shucked and jived his way thru all discussions the same as Hillary did in her interview with Chris Wallace. These RAT politicians talk, talk, talk, saying absolutely nothing of substance and outright lying by omission of pertinent facts. Hoyer had that same smart ass smirky, cat who caught the canary, look that Hillary's co-president Bill was known for. Hoyer has been involved for 25 yrs with the condemnation proposals and sees now as a very good time to bring one up yet again. Not at all concerned about the war repercussion because Turkey needs us more than we need them. So he says. On the SCHIP deal, well the RATS have their own magnificent plan which they are now working tirelessly to churn out in the near future. No doubt the one that raises the definition of children to age 25, and the poverty level to $80,000. And, lest anybody forgets, the Republicans do not care about children, especially poor ones. Lord, these RATS do disgust me."

For instance: Tim Russert’s is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Russert and Freepers should be reminded that he was a staffer for Former Governor Mario Cuomo (D) and Former Senator of NY Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D). No bias there... And here’s the link for George Stephanopolous: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stephanopolous No bias there...

I think that there is a superiority complex of many that nobody is as conservative as me so I won’t soil my hands with these lessers. ... Individually it may be refreshing but Nationally it is a disaster. That will insure a Communist Country and is exactly what the Rats are counting. They understand incrementalism and have been doing it while our Walk on Water Conservatives have been Washing Their Hands. ..."

However, if your candidate is not elected you don’t sit out the General because now there is not a “conservative” by your definition. ...

After all, there’s no telling what sort of cooties those Congressmen, Senators and their staff are carrying, not to mention the communicable disease threat presented by all those MSM types who constantly hang around there."
#215; "'Whenever the Dem/commies go unchallenged you can be sure they will rewrite history.' ... Thank you for stating once again this vitally important Truth. It cannot be overstated or repeated too often. ... The Leftists, just like the Islamists, never, ever concede the Struggle. If they lose a battle, or even a war, the survivors immediately regroup and begin planning a fresh offensive. If they agree to negotiate, compromise, call a truce or sign an agreement it is invariably a ploy, a strategem, a 'hudna' if you will, to buy time for them to regroup, rearm and then resume the attack at a more favorable opportunity. The control of language and history are major weapons in their arsenal. ... They are, in short, implacable totalitarians for whom the terms "compromise" and "agreement" are merely battle tactics, not an end in themselves, and 'peace' means the destruction of their opponents and the eventual 'absence of resistance' (socialists) and 'submission' (Islamist) to the imposition of their will. ... I believe that the great lesson of the Twenty-First Century, as yet unlearned, will be that the utopian dream of compromise and co-existance with these virulent, anti-life, anti-human and anti-God belief systems is simply not possible. Unfortunately, the cost will be horrific." (Note: reply to rodguy911's post #125)

#127; "Whilst I agree in principle with the resolution passed in Congress (my mother had an Armenia friend as a child who she re-contacted a few years before her death) I also disagree strongly with it as you say it puts coalition soldiers in danger. ... Turkey is tinder box waiting to erupt and things like this resolution starts the smoldering. The coalition needs Turkey airspace and their goodwill. It is a similar dilemma that the EU have with Turkey waiting Membership which again in principle I am against but one has to be pragmatic. At present the EU has granted Turkey most of the trade agreements that the EU have with other EU members but Turkey want full Membership but refuse to recognise a fellow member of the EU Cyprus."
#197; "I would also add to that decline in moral compass due to the State replacing the church which is probably part of what you are referring to in welfare. ... The saddest statistic I find this side of the pond and is probably true in the States as well the number of young kids having babies at 15, 16, 17 etc just so they get social security payments and a flat (apartment) When the Tories a few years ago suggested if elected that they would stop these entitlements in an effort to stop teenage pregnancies they were called mean, out of touch and trying to enforce outdated moral standards. Sound familiar? ... What is actually needed here IMHO is and although I do not like the idea of my money spent on it it is better than just hand outs is to try to get to the root of the problem which is the breakdown of family life. ... At present in Britain it seems that Labour has no new ideas and immediately the Tories suggest something that could work they adopt it. We have seen this twice in the last week. Once with inheritance tax the government now looks as if it is going with the Tories proposal on a higher threshold and also taxing non domiciles which is something that has to be addressed as it costing the treasury millions. The latest one is that they are looking at rewarding tax breaks for married couples something they took away and the Tories want to re-introduce in order to promote marriage. The Labour Party made tax credit available for those with children which you have to apply for but includes non married couples but took away tax relief if you were married with no children something that traditionally we have always had."
#209; "I also think that the white community are deluding themselves if they think it solely a problem of the black community maybe statistically more but it affects both. ... I think with the white community when relationships break down more males continue to financially support and see the children so this distorts the figures, also white males are more inclined to live or marry white women with children from other relationships which again distorts the figures. ... I would like to see figures where you have families over a ten year period of male, female and children how many of the children are the biological or adopted children of that couple, I suspect not many. ... The breakdown in family life is ruining society in my opinion and people seem to see nothing wrong in it especially if mummy or daddy has remarried. In most cases though they have left emotionally damaged children along the way. ... I can remember in Britain when Ronald Reagan was elected the outrage in certain areas that America would elect a President who had been divorced today no one would bat an eyelid. It was also considered an anti with Margret Thatcher that she was married to a divorcee - my how have times changed and not for the better."

#159; "A lot of myths abound. ... According to 2005 Census Bureau statistics, the male African-American population of the United States aged between 18 and 24 numbered 1,896,000. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 106,000 African-Americans in this age group were in federal or state prisons at the end of 2005. See table 10 of this report. If you add the numbers in local jail (measured in mid-2006), you arrive at a grand total of 193,000 incarcerated young Black males, or slightly over 10 percent. ... 'According to the same census data, 530,000 of these African-American males, or twenty eight percent, were enrolled in colleges or universities (including two-year-colleges) in 2005. That is five times the number of young black men in federal and state prisons and two and a half times the total number incarcerated. If you expanded the age group to include African-American males up to thirty or thirty five, the college attendees would still outnumber the prisoners.'"

Fred...or even...yes Rudy...strikes fear and images of an election night defeat for Team Clinton. ... Thank me very much!" (Note: reply to TN4Liberty post #175)
#195; "... Things like this are handled with our allies by the SecState and official visits and discussed once they go behind closed doors all the time by this country. ... Hell the Dems preach 'diplomacy diplomacy diplomacy' all the time. ... Only NOW they decide to go and grandstand with a resolution? ... What does it achieve other than to fan the flames on an already tense situation? ... What does it accomplish that a visit by Dr. Rice or VP Cheney can’t? ... Don’t get me wrong...I don’t like the boorish behavior by the supporters of the 'religon of peace' crowd in Turkey either. ... But there is a secular government in place right now and they are resisting the push by the Muslim extremeists. ... What we did with that resolution was give the extremeists more ammo and motivation."

It is also worth noting: ... 47 HOURS AND THE MSM CONTINUES TO HIDE THIS STORY! ... no mention or coverage of this in any media outlet not even the MSM. ... Drudge report had to do a direct link to the ebay page and show a youtube.com video of Rush making the announcement. NO AP or Reuters story even! ... Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama, both signed this phoney outrage letter to silence Rush. ... The ebay auction has 117467 views"

#126; "Turkey has ammassed as many troops on northern iraqi border as there are US troops in Iraq. ... Turkey is using the genocide resolution as pretext. (the FNC talk head is using the 100 years ago talking point which shows their consulted does not get the issue to those outside the issue. It is very personal to armenians now. He is making the same incompetent state department mistake that has got us in this fix.) ... The US helping with the PKK has nothing to do with this resolution. Turkey can just say “yeah whatever” and move on. Instead they keep up this insistence on revisionist history to excuse current abuses. (attacking orthodox church, clossing down christian schools, looting churches in northern cyprus, looting antiquities in northern cyprus for black market sales) ... It will be interesting if the talking heads will get the behind the resolution issue to the armendians and those currently living under turkish guns or will they just fall for the democrat trap."
#133; "but you will note the Drive by media will push for casinos for indians because of what happened 100 years ago ... reparations for slaves because of what happened 100 years ago ... Women because they could not vote up to a point ... etc, etc... revisionist history is ok when it is attacking the USA but not ok when it is attacking a non-christian group. ... so much for 'never forget' by the left."
#146; "The United States State Department is adept at showing the strength at showing the power of weakness. ... The US reactions to this non-binding, non-position resolution continues to demonstrate this. It seems both the women AND MEN of the US state department are just drama queens. ...

#161; "... This is part of a constant effort to fight revisionist history. ... This is part of the “never again” that goes with the Holocost. ... Turkey opens themselves up to these types of situations with their constant efforts at revisionism. ... It was not even the current government, they could easily sluff it off and just say 'whatever' it was not us. ... They have real problems with the PKK and should focus on that rather than revising history."

#187; "There is new stuff going in Turkey. ... The attacks on christian groups is intensifying. ... Turkey actual brought the Echumenichal Patriarch of the Orthodox Church up on CRIMINAL charges for using the word “echumenical”. It has been Echumenichal for over a millenia. ... The Turkish government also is pushing the notion that christianity is an “extinct religion”. This particularly poiniant as they loot northern cyprus. ... If nothing had changed it would be correct. ... There are multiple agendas here. Turkish Revisionism and current oppression efforts, Armenians who want make sure “never again” is more than just an empty slogan, the US state department drama queens doing what drama queens do, and pelosi fruitlessly trying to be relevant."
#203; "The state department incompetence (see Colin Powel) laid the ground work giving Turkey the ability to deny US use of Turkey as a staging area. ... The secularists have never had enough power. The treatment of american citizens during the pope’s visit with the echumenical patriarch was practically governmentally supported. ... Rice has been a real dunsel in that region. ... What really needs to happen requires spines and manhood. Something desperatly lacking in Washington DC."

(some girl saying sob story about father being deported and excluded from return. NOTE: THAT IS FOR COMMITTING A FELONY. This girl’s father is a felon with that preclusion.
