    He is so "with-it"...so sensitive...so plugged in to the pop-culture. What more could we ask for fom our commander-in-chief-wannabe at a time when our national security and national survival are in question.

    Does anyone know...what is the best theory about WHY he did this? What was he trying to hide...Who was he trying to protect.

    There must have been something extremely incriminating to him or someone he was protecting, in those documents.

    Unfarnished, unbridled, uninhibited prejudice. This is a mind-bogleing statement. I thought liberals were open and tolerant...the compassionate amoung us.

    Does this woman realize she has just indited millions of her fellow countrymen. The only thing separating this from the most vile form of rascism is that republicans/christians are not a race.

    I am staggered by the shear ignorance and vile hatefulness...but I am not surprised. This IS the unspoken truth that liberals and their minions wish to hide.

    In the eyes of her and her millions of soul-mates republicans and christians are the most contemptible beings imaginable...more vile and threatening than any Islamic terrorist...less worthy of consideration than a house fly.

    Russert opined that he needs to "connect with the American people,"

    They (the mainstream media) have set the table for him...with their relentless Bush-bashing...now they want to see him eat.

    "The "culture" that the world hates so much is invented and dispensed by the liberal left"

    This is the point that is rarely made...that which the "world" knows about America and our culture, is generally the product of our pop culture exports...movie's, music, etc. 99% of the world's population has never been to America, or spoken to a real American, but I'll bet that practically everyone has seen our movies and/or seen our music videos.

    I find the vast majority of Hollywierd's pop-culture product to be disgustingly adolescent, vulgar and violent. Is it surprising to anyone that others judge us poorly based on the images exported by the movie makers.

    It is beyond ironic that the Hollywood elite bemoan our lack of respect in the world, when they are the one's responsible for representing us in such a vile and degrading way.

    "IMHO, and it is only my opinion, no matter what the terrorists do, it is only going to backfire on them. This is not Spain, and Americans for the most part aren't a bunch of cheese eating surrender monkeys. Spain and the rest of the Euro-trash may cave to the violence, but from what I know of my fellow Americans, it only strengthens our resolve."

    I don't share your optimism. Dem/libs will go to their graves cursing/hating their fellow Americans who vote republican or call themselves conservative.

    Even in the face of the most devastating, horrific, carnage wrought by terrorists, to our nation...dem/libs will point their boney finger, flesh melting from nuclear blast effect...and with their dying breath...spew hatred upon their fellow Americans..."It's all your fault!"

    While there is most certainly a need to "take off the gloves" in response to democrat rhetoric, I am afraid Cheney's outburst will have more negative than positive impact.

  • RUSH: I'M NO HYPOCRITE

    My personal feelings about Rush are evolving. Initially I was sympathetic to him from the perspective of empathizing with his horrible struggle against his powerful addiction. But then I began to understand the deeper and long-term implications of his dilema.

    Rush has meaning to all of us on a much greater level than that of just a personal acquaintenence. We have granted Rush a priviledged and powerful position in our lives and in our political discourse. "I am nothing without you my audience," Rush says. Well it is true, but I don't know if he really believes it.

    Each of us has invested a great deal of our own credibility in the credibility of Rush. Is there any of us who has not had to answer to friends and family who don't like Rush, and are enjoying his trials? The long held hope of liberals to undermine Rush and his listeners was handed a powerful victory by none other than "Ole Rushbo."

    No matter how correct the message...it will always be filtered through the image and credibility of the messenger. Rush has squandered and diluted his effectivness as a messenger of important cultural and political issues. It is denial to suggest otherwise. Would you also want to argue that Michael Jackson is destined to be a revered pop cultural icon in light of his "addiction." Will his "image" and therefor his message not undergo a radical evolution? Why should or would it be any different for Rush?

    I have been one of Rushs' most loyal listeners for years. But I now listen to him with a different attitude. I don't Trust him. I filter and contrast everything he says through the reality that he has broken faith. I used to believe that he was fully dedicated to Family, God, Country, and his audience. I now know that he served another master. He was not being honest and he certainly wasn't focused on his responsibilities.

    It is not a stretch to compare Rushs' addiction to pills and lack of focus on his duties to that of Clinton. The thing that angered me most about Clinton was knowing that his selfish-pigish personal addiction (to sex) would trump his responsibility to uphold the standard of Commander and Chief. Rush is no different than Clinton in that regard...he let his personal self centered gratification trump all that he professed to stand for...God, Family, Country, Career. All his virtuous pontificating was no more than a necessary inconvenience, while he secretly schemed and dreamed about what was really important to him...swallowing more pills.

    Folks, addicts use and abuse people. There is no room in an addicts life for true balance. All energy is expended in the quest for that which feeds the addiction. The sincere words of an addict ring hollow because behind them lay only thoughts about their true love...feeding the demon.

    "Rushbo", "Jacko", and "Bubba" have more in common than they would like to believe. While they will continue to commamnd the allegiance of their most loyal followers...they will court ridicule if they don't modify their message to fit the reality of their lifestyle.

    "Bubba Clinton"..."Family values...that's what I'm all about"

    "Jacko"..."We must protect and care for all the children of the world"

    "RushBo"..."Self reliance and rugged individualism...that's what made America great...Don't look to others...pull yourself up by your bootstraps."

    None of these guys should have the liberty to portray themselves as anything other than what they are...deeply flawed and dishonest individuals appealing to the masses through some unique talent or position, while being primarily focused on and enslaved by their own personal demons.

    In my opinion the only thing Rush has been truly honest about was when he would say...."Doing my job with half my brain tied behind my back.

    That's the 3rd wierd sex/law story in 2 days.

    1- Legalized prostitution with young girls, but life in prison for oral sex with wife.

    2- Lesbian sex does not count as sex for purposes of proving adultery.

    3- Adult male arrested for having internet/phone sex with young girl he never met.

    Wow! Does sex make us crazy or what?!

    "Small lobsters are illegal and should be thrown back into the sea. If I catch a small lobster, then shove it down my companion's throat, choking and killing him -- is this "yet another" reason why small lobsters should be thrown back into the sea? No. It's a reason why I am a bad person who needs to be locked up for killing a fellow human."

    Interesting analogy...be careful, the snake venom could be kicking in!

    I heard another sex/law story yesterday:

    An adult male was convicted on sexual charges for having sex with an adolescent girl...over the internet.

    So lets see if I've got this right. It's not sex if 2 women (or presumably men) perform what would appear to a rational person as sex acts upon one another. But it is sex if the "acts" are performed individually and seperately while connected via internet or phone.

    Go finger...I mean figure!

    "How long will it be before the public at large, of all races, rejects this dishonest and unfair behavior from politicians?"

    When ABCCNNNBCCBS changes it's political orientation. That's where "the public at large" are told what to think.

    Until then, democrats will not be held accountable.

    MEMOGATE

    Democrats have made a conscious choice to elevate their personal political ambitions over accomplishing the important task of managing our "intelligence" capability.

    I guess to them National Security is enhanced just by the fact of democrat poitical control. Access to accurate, timely "intel" is secondary.

    Apparently to democrats the greatest risk to National Security is the republican majority

    1994...that's the time when politics as usual took a steep dive into the murky depths of hyper-partisanship. Lead by democrats as a reaction to loosing the U.S. House of Reps., the "Jack-Ass" party has felt not only justified but sanctified in trashing the rule book in favor of a scorched earth policy.

    They are both infuriating and disgusting in their willingness to sacrifice meaningful progress for our economy, society, and national security...if such progress carries the cost of acknowledging the legitimacy of republican lead initiatives.

    They are acting like a bunch of spoiled, pampered, self-indulgent prepubescent children compelled by their hyper-emotionalism, who recognize no greater objective than their own selfish need to be the center of the universe.

    In many ways the relationship between repubs and dems is that of the patient wise experienced adult dealing with a self-centered self-destructive juvenile deliquent.

    Don't give them their way...and they burn down the house.
