Cafferty did not insult the Chinese people. he was answering a specific question about the Chinese Communist regime. WOLF BLITZER: One of the arguments that some of the pro-China elements is making, Jack, is that this is a very different China today than existed 10 years ago, certainly 20 or 30 years ago. This communist regime(Emphasis mine) today is almost like a capitalist regime. They're a huge economic superpower and that we have a lot at stake in maintaining this economic relationship with China. JACK CAFFERTY: Well, I don't know if China is any different, but our relationship with China...

The Ministry of Foreign Affair of Russia has joined the ranks of those condemning Geert Wilders’ film critique of Islamic violence. “It is unfair and slanderous,” said Deputy Minister, Vladimir Dzerzhinsky. “It’s like blaming the gulag on communism.” Dzerzhinsky was pessimistic about the consequences that may follow from airing “Fitna.” “There was a time when something like this would have been dealt with quickly and sternly,” Dzerzhinsky opined. “Alas, there are no men of steel anymore. Hooligans like Wilders are free to criticize whomever they please without the government taking action to correct matters.” In related news, Saudi Cleric Muhammad...

Tolerance is the credo of the age, the great rallying call of modern liberalism. Tolerate and be tolerated, they say. Tolerate to all alike. But what are the limits of tolerance? To tolerate is to accept things that are strange or unpleasant to you. You tolerate things that are different from you in nature and expectation. Without a reasonable amount of tolerance, no society would be able to function for long. But at the same time the flip side of tolerance is that to tolerate a behavior is to perpetuate it.

White House hopeful Barack Obama's foreign policy adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, is preparing a major, new anti-Israel initiative: an international campaign to pressure the Jewish state into disclosing and dismantling its nuclear arsenal as an inducement to Islamist Iran to permanently end its suspect uranium enrichment program.

Have you ever wondered why Elvis pulled out a gun in his Las Vegas hotel suite and shot his TV screen? Well, if Elvis had been watching a TV show just a tenth as annoying as MTV's "The Paper" you could easily understand why he did it. Normally, I don't watch ANY MTV "Reality" shows which are all completely unreal. I watched just one of them years ago and found the spoiled kids on the show so completely obnoxious that I have avoided all such MTV shows like the plague. So why am I now watching "The Paper?" Mainly...

First, there were growing reports of school children being underfed and not getting enough calories, fats and sugars to enable them to grow well and learn, as a result of efforts to feed them ‘healthy’ foods. Now, an investigation of nursery preschools has uncovered tragic findings: nearly all nurseries are feeding toddlers so little fat and calories, and such excessive amounts of 'healthy' fiber, fruits and vegetables, that they are putting the children at risk for stunted growth and nutritional deficiencies. Mistaken beliefs about healthy eating are now endangering our youngest children. A terribly disturbing study was released a few...

-snip- I don’t think anything will ever top David Cook’s performance of “Billie Jean” but his take on “Always Be My Baby” was pretty special. It was an emotional performance for David whose brother, who is suffering from brain cancer, was in the audience tonight.

Obama's bitter clinging folks are a myth

Palm Beach—In what may be Rush Limbaugh’s most brazen move to flaunt his wealth, a new operation has been born. On the eve of the first mailings of the economic stimulus checks, Limbaugh has decided to promote “Operation Stimulus,” beginning with his show on Wednesday, April 16, 2008. A source close to Limbaugh said that the operation consists of three phases: Phase 1: Receive and deposit your check into your bank account. Phase 2: Use those funds to pay your credit card bill. Phase 3: Spend your entire tax refund at the EIB Store.The new operation was devised, the unnamed...

Why do we, as a country, continue to give foreign aid when we are so in debt?

Xinhua News BEIJING, April 15 (Xinhua) -- China is shocked by and strongly condemns CNN host Jack Cafferty's remarks, which maliciously attacked the Chinese people, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said at a regular press briefing on Tuesday. SHANGHAI, April 15 (WhiteDevil) -- The U.S. is shocked by and strongly condemns China's Hu Jintao's dictatorship which maliciously attacked the Tibetan people, WhiteDevil spokesman WhiteDevil said at a regular posting on his blog Wednesday. Cafferty said in a TV show on April 9 that the Chinese products are "junk" and the Chinese people "basically the same bunch of goons and thugs...

Xinhua news has a commentary about Pelosi and her dealings with the Dalai Lama.“BEIJING, April 12 (Xinhua) -- If an opinion poll were to be carried out on the Internet in China to choose the most disgusting figure, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would probably be on top of the list, as she confused right with wrong on the issue of Tibet, held double standards to interfere in China's internal affairs, hurt the feelings of the Chinese people and impaired China-U.S. relations.” Well looks like they win this argument. Pelosi is a democrat and once they say “hurt the feelings”...

Today’s Jackass of the Day Award is given to one very deserving jackass, indeed. Mr. Dick Cavett, you should be proud. You, sir, are the biggest jackass I think I have awarded this to. I don’t know. It’s such a hard call, and “jackassishness” is such a hard thing to measure. I think we’ll have a vote at the end of the year to elect our top five over all jackasses of the year. You are sure to be elected in that poll.

It's a beautiful thing to see how well Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos is working out. Remember that DUmmie who PREDICTED that Hillary would be splitting from the campaign on April 14? Well, guess what? She's NOT leaving. As a matter of fact, thanks to Operation Chaos and Barack Obama's bitter blunders, she is now predicted to win big in Pennsylvania next week. And when that happens you can expect Hillary to HAUNT Obama all the way until this summer's convention...and possibly beyond. Meanwhile DUmmie frustration with Hillary has reached the boiling point as you can see in this THREAD...

I have had it with the political rhetoric in this country -- of the promises from candidates who do not have the constitutional authority to deliver on what they are promising. Obama says he's going to meet with our enemies -- he actually believes, in his arrogance, that all he has to do is say "I'm coming over there," and Captain Marmalade in Iran will be glad to sit down with him, change the error of his ways and become just like people in the United States. Who does he think he's kidding?!! It's going to be just like Mr....

Unfazed by the news of federal employees using government credit cards to pay for lingerie, gambling, iPods, Internet dating services, and other questionable items, Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) said “the reports on this so-called scandal have opened my eyes to an innovative possibility. The problem isn’t so much that government employees abused their privileges and wasted tax dollars, but that average Americans aren’t similarly enabled.” “The country is facing hard times in this recession,” Obama asserted. “Some have lost their jobs. Others have lost their homes. This will cut into the spending needed to spur economic recovery. One way to...
