You hear the hypocrite entertainers and political opportunists speaking out on Darfur. What will they say now that they’ve gotten what they asked for? They are hypocrites because they feel the Iraqi’s should fend for themselves and we should not stop the murder, torture and rape of their citizens. How many times have we heard that it’s their problem and none of our business? Yet they feel we should stop it in Darfur.

How do we do that without using force? The truth is it probably can’t be done. So now that we’ve done the obligatory sanctions and U.N. route, what will the phony liberals complain about now? Will it be on to the next in vogue Hollywood cause for their photo ops or will they just stick to the old standby that “it’s President Bush’s fault,” even when he does what they ask for?

It seems charity and good causes pay in the entertainment industry. I would estimate some of these entertainers get about $5 in publicity for every dollar’s worth of their money/time. It’s not a bad investment. Darfur has many of the usual cast of characters who are on the bandwagon. The likes of George Clooney and Angelina Jolie jockey for attention. Again, the hypocrisy seems to reveal where a lot of people’s motivations lie.

I can’t say for sure who cares and who doesn’t, but who wouldn’t be charitable if they got the return on investment that some of these people get? It’s just my opinion, but I think the people who tend to care the most are the ones who work behind the scenes and who give mostly in private. We know people like Oprah and Bono have a public track record for being loving and caring and pure as the wind driven snow. What about people who give in private who don’t get the publicity? I salute the latter.

Sadly for those who are suffering, this effort is not likely to make much of a difference. The sanctions/U.N. route seldom gets much in the way of results. It’s simply too much time wasted when they need immediate help. Too little too late. How can freedom win when it comes to the U.N. when they have terrorist supporting countries as well as China and Russia as voting members? It seems incredibly unproductive and immoral to seek U.N. approval for anything, but that’s where we are now at. We need a permission slip from a corrupt U.N. for most of what we now do. If you’re not a self serving politician or publicity hound, it’s probably not good news for you.

“For too long the people of Darfur have suffered at the hands of a government that is complicit in the bombing, murder and rape of innocent civilians. My administration has called these actions by their rightful name: genocide. The world has a responsibility to put an end to it.”
– President Bush

Ron Paul Blows Any Chance of Ever Getting the Republican Nomination

One thing definitely came out of the Republican Presidential debate Tuesday night and that’s that Ron Paul has no chance of getting the nomination. Not that too many people could have given him a shot to begin with. He looked like an antique salesman out in the country. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

What is wrong is that he’s an excuse maker for the terrorists. He is nothing more than a plant for the liberal party. He is an abomination to conservatives and freedom loving Americans everywhere. There are few things that can compare with making excuses for murderers and blaming innocent people. While he is a conservative on most things, he lacks the credibility of someone like a Rudy Guiliani, who because you trust them you can possibly overlook some things. It would be impossible for me to give anyone a pass who runs cover for murderers.

Fox News Analysts Unable to Explain the Obvious

The Fox News analysts were perplexed after the debate as to why Paul scored so well on their text message poll. They tried to blame it on Paul having a some kind of campaign to get people to vote for him. While that could be some of it, and while text message polls are extremely unreliable, that’s not the main reason for getting a good result.

The reason is simple and I cannot believe that the Fox guys including Sean Hannity did not have the explanation for Ron Paul’s poll numbers in their post debate coverage. If the liberal Alan Colmes knew the reason he wasn’t going to say. There is really a very easy explanation. While it was a Republican debate, many on the other side of the isle are still watching. There was only one person who a liberal would think of voting for out of that group and that was Ron Paul. Conservatives split their vote up between the 9 other candidates. So really the fact that Paul was so bad actually gained him some absolutely meaningless good poll numbers. This guy could not win as a republican, democrat or an independent. He has as much chance of winning as a goat has of winning the Kentucky Derby. He was a hero for a day to the liberals.

Ron Paul: Non-intervention was a major contributing factor. Have you ever read the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we’ve been over there; we’ve been bombing Iraq for 10 years. We’ve been in the Middle East…

Wendell Goler: Are you suggesting we invited the 9/11 attack, sir?

Ron Paul: I’m suggesting that we listen to the people who attacked us and the reason they did it, and they are delighted that we’re over there because Osama bin Laden has said, “I am glad you’re over on our sand because we can target you so much easier.

Rudy Giuliani: Wendell, may I comment on that? That’s really an extraordinary statement. That’s an extraordinary statement, as someone who lived through the attack of September 11, that we invited the attack because we were attacking Iraq. I don’t think I’ve heard that before, and I’ve heard some pretty absurd explanations for September 11th. (Applause, cheers.)

And I would ask the congressman to withdraw that comment and tell us that he didn’t really mean that. (Applause.)

Ron Paul: They don’t come here to attack us because we’re rich and we’re free. They come and they attack us because we’re over there.

Tom Tancredo: I just have to disagree with you, Ron, about the issue of whether or not that — whether Israel existed or didn’t, whether or not we were in the Iraq war or not, they would be trying to kill us because it’s a dictate of their religion, at least a part of it, and we have to defend ourselves.

These were some interesting quotes from Larry Flynt after the death of the Reverend Jerry Falwell:

After meeting him in person, years after the trial, Jerry Falwell and I became good friends. He would visit me in California and we would debate together on college campuses. I always appreciated his sincerity even though I knew what he was selling and he knew what I was selling.

The famous lawsuit involved a ‘Hustler’ piece with a parody of an intoxicated Jerry Falwell having incest with his mother. While I’m all for free speech, it was, much like most of Flynt’s doings, beyond vulgar. It showed a complete lack of class and lack of conscience. I do give Flynt credit for showing some respect for Falwell and for admitting they had become friends.

It is interesting to note that while the majority of American people claim to be Christians, Falwell took a lot of heat over the years for actually believing what the Bible says.

For those of you who are lied to by those who try to rewrite history, this blog’s for you. It was four years ago the speech took place that President Bush is often credited with saying the mission was accomplished. Aside from being a phantom quote, what those who wish to deceive you try to do is equate that with what’s going on in Iraq right now. The mission that was accomplished was removing Saddam Hussein. Saddam is still gone. He’s quite dead in fact.

Not only do they try to deceive the naive and people who are too busy to pay attention, they hide the fact that President Bush said repeatedly way back when that patience would be needed and that this would go on for a long time. I’ve heard him say it many times with my own ears and so have most of you. As time goes by and the same lies get repeated over and over it’s easy to forget. They repeat the lies so often they become accepted fact, even though they can’t prove their rhetoric.

Do you remember hearing President Bush saying mission accomplished? If you do, you are a victim of the repeated propaganda. You probably actually do remember seeing a banner with those words. A banner that came from the crew of the aircraft carrier from which he spoke. Something he actually did say was: “And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country.” It’s not a crime to forget that, but it ought to be a crime to try to convince people that certain things happened that didn’t. They are playing you for suckers.

It’s so bad that some people forget what they see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears. They are like parrots and just repeat the rhetoric they hear over and over. Sheeple. I’ll never understand why people would choose to believe those who have proven repeatedly to be liars. Why would you even want to be on the same side of people like that? It must be some kind of mental defect. In the case of terrorism, many choose to side with people who murder innocents, even their own children.

The only real and honest way to look at a war is from a historical perspective. When you do, you see that this war is more successful than most. It’s simply a fact. Look at the lives lost in World War I and World War II. Enormous losses in single battles. The fact that we tie the hands of the troops and make them scared to do their job certainly isn’t making things easier. They somehow have to now be perfect or else be treated like criminals. It’s even gotten to where they are guilty till proven innocent.

Did we support the troops in those other wars by telling them to run home where it’s safe so we could all become slaves? People would have been tried for treason for some of the things that are done today that encourage the enemy. Do you think they were parading around grieving family members and doing the propaganda work of our enemies? How disgusting is it to feed off the pain of those who have lost loved ones and try to use them to paralyze us from doing what needs to be done? To help an enemy by playing on people’s emotions like that would seem to be a form of terrorism in and of itself. The fact that a few family members are parading around who didn’t support their loved ones in the first place, disrespecting their memory, just shows how low some can go. Can you imagine not wanting a loved one to be considered a hero who served and died for their country? Shameless. How much of a reward would you need to piss on the grave of a loved one who died serving their country? There’s been a lot of new lows hit the last few years.

“Those we lost were last seen on duty. Their final act on this Earth was to fight a great evil and to bring liberty to others.”
– President Bush during the misrepresented Mission Accomplished Speech

When someone says that major combat operations are over, does that mean everything is over? There is violence all over the world, even in places that are considered peaceful. Why would anyone possibly believe that means we are completely done? What is going on now in Iraq is dirty and dangerous and often fatal, but it’s not major combat operations. Certainly not historically speaking, not unless the military has gone completely downhill and we don’t have sophisticated weaponry anymore. Otherwise, this is a dangerous police action, not major combat. It’s not even Shock ‘N Awe. Do you remember that? That was a pretty major operation. That was back when the politicians had the jewels to try to win. Or maybe it was that some of them didn’t have the jewels to speak up against it. You make the call. Either way we have more than a few people who could use a couple.

It’s one thing for someone to actually be against this military operation, but why do people have to lie about the facts? Why is it so hard to tell about all the infrastructure improvements and the accomplishments of American forces? You are told almost gleefully about the numbers of our own people who die like it’s a telethon and the deaths are dollars. The only thing missing are bells and whistles that go off in celebration of hitting certain milestones. How often do you hear the numbers of the terrorists killed? We are told we are losing the war, so enemy casualties must be less, right? Then again, we are also led to believe that most deaths are just innocent civilians.

If you listen to people like Rosie O’Donnell or John Kerry you wouldn’t expect our troops to be capable of winning. They are just dolts who can’t get a real job to people like that. It’s good to hear they support the troops. I guess they just don’t support the mission of sending idiots off into combat. I think if you have to lie or mislead, then you don’t really care about anything but politics and somehow enjoy hurting people who do care. Do you think people who mislead you are interested in your freedoms?

There’s more than a few people out there who feed on the uninformed. You’ve got the liberal politicians, the liberal media, and the anti-American sheep who repeat the same lies over and over. If you don’t like being played for a fool, you need to start paying attention. Once you know who isn’t interested in the truth you will at least know who to stop listening to. That’s half the battle. It’s not hard to see who they have invested their futures in. They’ve sold out the very people who made them who they are.
