How Fair is the Fairness Doctrine?

With the upcoming elections one begins to examine what would a Democrat controlled congress look like and what direction would they take the country? Because of the liberalization and radicalization of the Democrat party the answer is into a ditch. One issue that certainly Democrats appear to want to involve themselves with is reviving the fairness doctrine. This would create an environment where equal time would have to be given to both political sides in the media. The reality is liberals control the media and any argument to the contrary is absurd. They control a majority of printed news sources and three major network news sources. But that is not good enough for them and now they set their sights on taking down conservative talk radio. Conservatives dominate talk radio and it is one area of the media where liberals have been rejected wholeheartedly. One simply needs to look at the current situation with Air America who is subsisting on life-support. And like every other instance of society when a group of persons does not succeed liberals feel it is their duty to involve themselves to raise them up. This is their mentality going back to Roosevelt's well intentioned New Deal program on up until today where we live in a welfare state. Liberals want to blame conservative talk radio for their failures in past elections. They do not seem do want to acknowledge that their ideas maybe are not resonating with the majority of Americans. I believe the market should dictate what is presented and not politicians. Conservatives have had to turn to talk radio and alternative media because of the overwhelming liberal bias in conventional media. This is just one of the many issues to think about when you go to the voting booths this November.

Empire State Senator retracts Earlier Claim

It seems one Clinton after years of lying to the American public is now ready to come clean. I know what you are thinking great Bill Clinton is ready to reveal everything but unfortunately he is staying silent and his wife is clearing her conscience. Senator Hillary Clinton has now made it known that she was not named for famed mountain climber Sir Edmund Hillary. the retraction comes after years of perpetuating the myth after it was pointed out by certain media outlets that this was an impossibility. You see Clinton was born in 1947 and Hillary's momentous feat was accomplished in 1953. But like a good Democrat she stuck with the lie until she was confronted with the truth and had no choice but to change her tune. And like a Democrat she was ready to blame someone else for the mistake in this case her mother. The myth was continued through both Senator Clinton's biography and her husband's mind-numbing tome. Maybe her husband should follow Senator Clinton's example and get some things off his chest. I know some of you might say what lies. I guess it depends on what the definition of is, is. We now have one Clinton lie down and thousands more to go.

Losing is Not a Strategy

For a the past couple of months I have been hearing troubling comments on the political front. Unfortunately they have been coming from the Republican masses. It seems as if some people think it best if Republicans lose control of congress, one or both houses, and that this would somehow solve our problems. I am sorry but for me losing is not a strategy and the thought of just giving up congress to the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Charles Rangel does not appeal to me in fact it gives me nightmares. I know that this idea has been in response to less then a stellar performance by Conservatives in congress who have dropped the ball on certain issues. So in a sense we should punish our representatives for not representing us. I will agree that the inaction by congress on key issues makes my blood boil on occassion we must remember what the consequences would be. We would give over control to people who think we should fight terror like a law enforcement action. Democrats have already made it clear that they will get rid of the tax cuts which have been driving our economy to new heights. Democrats have also stated that they plan to have hearings on everything the Bush administration has done and will seek impeachment since they will have subpoena power. At this time in our nation's history does it seem a good thing to have congress bogged down in endless hearings? If those in power are committed to doing the right thing and standing for what they believe then we should not need to give congress to Democrats for such a reason. We as an electorate of Republicans and Conservatives need to support our party now more then ever even if that means being the lesser of two evils for the time being. The nation is in dire straits if liberals gain control of any power and that is not hyperbole it is reality.

D.A. Nifong is Putting a Knife Through the Legal System

If you were channel surfing tonight and stopped on 60 Minutes then you caught their story on the Duke rape case or scandel as it appears to be more and more. Ed Bradley went through the current situation of the case and a background on all of its elements. What one comes away with is that this case should not have made it to trial in the first place. The holes in this case are numerous and have reduced it to swiss cheese. From a misguided suspect lineup in which only Duke lacrosse players were used to failed DNA tests which exonerate the three suspects it becomes clear that in the court of public opinion I rule not guilty. The point is why has this case continued on and it becomes clear, Mike Nifong. District attorney Nifong has kept this case going for whatever reason in the absence of evidence. In the 60 Minutes piece you had a Duke professor stating that prosecutorial misconduct has occured in this case and I would whole-heartedly agree. It appears as if attorney Nifong was so wanting a conviction for his own gain in his election bid which is atrocious. Another serious issue is that when these false claims of rape occur it puts the next claim under the microscope of extreme scrutiny. The final analysis of this situation is that this has been a prime example of failed criminal justice or injustice as we are learning more and more.

Fear Peddling

Democrats want you the citizens of America to believe that the Republican party and more directly the Bush administration deal in fear to garner power. In reality when you look at the current political landscape it is Democrats whose sole political tactic seems to be to make Americans afraid of Republicans and their policies. Of course a major example of this is global warming. Democrats are constantly beating the global warming drum in hopes of scaring the electorate enough so that they might vote for them. They produce their so called "experts" and cite their "scientific" data which is neither substantial nor unanimously agreed to by the scientific community. But that does not stop the likes of Al Gore from producing movies that all but make you believe the world is soon to be dead and we will have pulled the trigger. Another idea that Democrats like to espouse is that the Bush administration want to listen in to every conversation we have. The simple truth is that in this new world that the influx of jihadists has created we need to know who is calling into this country or sadly who might be calling out to the terrorists. President Bush is not anxious to hear about what ailment your grandparent is currently suffering from or what meatloaf recipe you might be receiving over the phone. The bare bones of the situation is that Democrats want you to be afraid of anything Republicans do or what Democrats think Republicans might do. They constantly try to cast Republicans as sinister and devious in hopes that people will be afraid enough to join their side. I mean it is clear that this has been done in regards to African Americans and the Democratic Pary. Democrats create a fear fog that envelops African Americans to create a distrust of Republicans. The result of this has been a societal dependance based on what will be given to them. As a final note to this discussion Democrats have repeatedly declard President Bush and his administration of dealing in fear to remain in power. What Democrats do not seem to realize is that when the administration talks about threats to our security that is truth not fear. When Republicans try to fix social security before it is to late that is truth not fear. If their is anything that Republicans can say especially in these last weeks before the elections to scare the populace it is that if you do not support the Republicans Nancy Pelosi will become third in line for the presidency and that is truth and you should be afraid.

Why the West Had to Remove Saddam

I write this post for not just for Republicans but for anyone who wants to read an excellent book detailing the reasons we had to take action against Saddam. The book is entitled Allies by William Shawcross and is an excellent account of pre 9/11 American thought on Saddam and Iraq and the conditions that lead to British and American intervention in Iraq. I guess this post is just as much for the likes of Chris Matthews whose obsession seems to be why we went into Iraq in the first place.

I Wish Hollywood Would Make Up Its Mind

Although the genocide happening in the Sudan is not a recent event Hollywood personalities have recently entered into the cause to bring U.S. action to the African nation. I am confused because they want America to interfere with a sovereign nation that has done nothing to us. Hollywood in all its glory has called for wide support from the world and especially from the U.S. But back to the source of my confusion, if we intervene in the conflict in the Sudan are we not acting with the same imperial arrogance as in Iraq. Let liberals not forget that Saddam killed thousands of his own people in some of the worst ways imaginable. I simply hate when liberals claim a cause when it suits them but are then caught up in hypocrisy. Liberals need to make up their mind as to what they believe because they cannot seem to keep a consistent message. Do liberals not consider the lives of those citizens of Iraq worth our support in freeing them from a monster of an individual as those in the Sudan. I think George Clooney and Bono should consider this before spouting their venom about our involvement in Iraq and as a result proving the perceptions of Hollywood liberals correct.

A Call to Republican Arms

With the North Koreans claiming victory in testing a nuclear device just a few days ago it would seem all to clear that Republicans must support their candidates this November. In such dangerous times it is ludicrous for Republicans to punish their congressmen for failed action on certain issues. Why should we play with the security of our nation certainly now with evil springing up all over the world. Democrats have shown that they are weak on security issues and I fully stand by that claim. From the opposition to President Bush on the detainee bill to calling for a cut and run policy in Iraq Democrats have shown they lack the intestinal fortitude to lead the nation in a post 9/11 world. So I would call upon all Republicans, Moderates, and even any Democrats with some sanity left to pull the lever in the voting booth for the Republicans who despite many faults on some issues have shown that they will confront terror and evil for the sake of their nation.
