Tis the Season for Giving

It is appropriate that this story comes across the news desk at this time of year. I am talking about the comments made recently by an insurgent leader in Iraq. Abu Omar al-Baghdadi the leader of the Mujahideen Shura Council has graciously offered a one-month truce to our military forces to pull out of Iraq. The conditions of the truce state that we must vacate all of our military bases and leave behind all of our heavy weapons. Can you believe it? All we have to do is retreat from the battlefield and leave behind our military technology to radical insurgents and we can finally have a peaceful ending to the quagmire in Iraq. Unfortunately that is just the kind of sentence that would come from the lips of a liberal. We as the world power are just suppose to give in to the demands of those killing our soldiers and preventing democracy to take hold in Iraq and the middle east. On top of that we are supposed to leave our weaponry behind. We went into Iraq partly because we thought there was deadly weapons under Saddam's control but we are now supposed to leave ours behind for the terrorists to collect. The sad reality is that there are people in our county for whom this "truce" proposal makes sense. Those on the left are constantly beating the drum for our retreat from Iraq and I am sure they see this as a way for us to end our occupation in Iraq. The United States has been given two weeks to respond to the offer. My answer is simply this I think we should leave one bomb behind and that it is sent care on delivery to Mr. al-Baghdadi as it is rocketing towards him with all deliberate speed.

Time Picks You

Well the time has finally come for Time Magazine to announce their person of the year. And what do you know it is not a person at all per se but many persons. Time has picked you as the person of the year. That's right all of us are the person of the year. It is quite surprising that I would be picked person of the year considering I have not done much. Much hype has been put on this year's Time person of the year and I got to say I am kind of disappointed. I think Time took the easy way out by simply making the American citizen the person of the year. They spend countless hours around a table debating the pros and cons of many candidates and this year they simply pick you. I am not saying that you out there across the fruited plains do not deserve such an honor. I am sure many of you have made a worthwhile difference in the world this year and deserve the accolade. I am just saying that out of all the newsmakers of the past year the editors at Time decided that you are the most deserving. I will admit the choice was not what I had anticipated. I could have accepted Barack Obama the politician du jour as the media eagerly looks to crown him the next president. Or how about YouTube which has become such a phenomenon and keeps Comedy Central relevant. But if not these then how about another choice. I wonder if the folks at time ever considered selecting the American soldier as the person of the year. I really could think of no one more deserving as those who give their all sometimes their lives to defend our freedoms. I don't know about you but that qualifies them in my book. Instead you have been chosen as the person of the year. You who voted the Democrats back into power and you who in increasing numbers turn your back on the war on terror and the fight to preserve our way of life. I am not saying you did not deserve to be person of the year but maybe it is worth asking what did you really do this year?

CNN Uses F-Word

I was recently channel surfing the other day and happened to end up on CNN. I normally do not give CNN the time of day for obvious reasons, i.e. Clinton News Network. And believe me that monikor stills holds as true today as ever. Jack Cafferty happened to be on at the time I momentarily stopped on CNN and I decided to listen to what he was talking about. He proceeded on a long diatribe about Bush and blaming him for the death of so many American soldiers. It was quite clear to me that Mr. Cafferty was a cut and runner. I also realized that CNN apparently no longer feels the need to try and hide their liberal bias. One only has to listen to the words pouring forth from stodgy curmudgeons like Cafferty. At another point during the broadcast Mr. Cafferty made reference to its competition or rival the Fox News Channel. Of course to be considered a rivalry both sides need to be somewhat equal and by looking at the ratings of both channels we know that is not true. But to get back on point Mr. Cafferty did not refer to Fox by name but referred to it as the F-word network. I find it laughable when I come across these deep held aggressions aimed at Fox. Routinely you can find Keith Olberman tearing into the likes of Bill O'Reilly. I wonder why these individuals feel the need to trash their competition. I would assume a large part of it would be jealousy. CNN and MSNBC continually place behind Fox News in the ratings. Maybe they feel by attacking Fox they will garner more support for their network and take down their competition. But those individuals fail to observe one key point, they stink. One only has to watch for a few minutes to know that CNN and MSNBC are still playing in the minors waiting to be called up to the major leagues. It is fine for these supposed news network to be liberally biased as much of the media is. But do not insult our intelligence by claiming to be an unbiased news source. After all CNN is the network who felt it necessary to air essentially radical Islamic propaganda and give relevance by talking to David Duke about his involvement in the Holocaust denial conference. It comes down to this Fox News is the standard and the rest is just televised fish wrap. I mean who would you rather get your news from Brit Hume or a former ESPN flunky?

Defending the United States to the World

It seems incredible that one would have to defend the United States to the rest of the world and within our own borders. But I as the loyal servant of America and proud patriot will attempt to do so. Really when one looks at things from a rational position instead of a radical and warped concept of reality the United States would not have to defend itself to the rest of the world. It is those that associate America with being an imperialistic juggernaut always on the look out for more of the world to conquer and spread its evil concepts like democracy. The reality is the world by its prior actions has necessitated the United States in its current form as not just a world power but the world power. Remember during the two world wars when Europe and the rest of the world depended on us to stop Germany's tyrannical grab for power and the spread of Nazism . The world was not complaining when our brave soldiers were sacrificing their lives and they are doing today to preserve freedom and democracy not just in America but the world. The United States rises to the challenges placed before it as the world's defender and savior but the world only has in return a cold shoulder for us as they continue to denounce us as the problem. One only has to look at the United Nations and its ineptitude to do anything in the world or to solve any problem. We provide the bulk of financial support for the U.N. and receive a slap in the face from the world in return. I can tell you right now I know the United Nations needs America more then we need the U.N. We allow the United Nations to headquarter on our shores but routinely are met with no support such as fighting the war on terror. Maybe the world would like us to remain as isolationist as we were prior to the bombing of Pearl Harbor so they can deal with things their way. The fact is the United States does not need to defend itself. We have done more to liberate and free oppressed people then the United Nations could dream of doing. I constantly hear about America's poor standing with the world and the same words keep running through my mind, who cares! The problem is not the United States. The problem is that the United States foresees problems and tries to deal with them before they become catastrophic while the world sits back and waits for the problem to explode. Then they usually turn to the United States to fix the problem.

Congresswoman Looks to Leave One Last Mark

America's favorite congressional crazy is back and looking to leave her mark on Congress. Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has made one of her last pieces of legislation the impeachment of President George W. Bush. Soon to be Speaker of the House Pelosi has said that the Democrats will not push for the impeachment of President Bush but after being ousted from her congressional seat this past election the Georgia congresswoman has nothing to lose. She will certainly lose no respect as that was lost in her scuffle with a capitol hill policeman in which she became physical with the officer after he did not recognize her and she was without her congressional pin to identify her. Thank goodness the fine people in McKinney's congressional jurisdiction had the common sense to rid themselves of Representative Cynthia McKinney and all of her lunacy. This is a women who has made the claim that our president had prior knowledge of 9/11 and wanted a federal investigation into the death of rapper Tupac Shakur. That is just what we should be spending the people's money on, getting to the bottom of the East coast West coast rap rivalry. I sometimes wonder how people like Cynthia McKinney get elected in the first place. Is her district so devoid of any sensible alternative that the voters and left with no real choice. Of course one only has to look at our pop culture and a uninformed electorate and it becomes easier to see how we wind up with the Cynthia McKinney's of the world taken up space in the hallowed halls of Congress.

Bush Bolts on Bolton

Well Democrats will no longer have U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton to kick around anymore. That is because he has given his resignation to President Bush who accepted it. Bolton was due for another round of confirmation hearings because he was a recess appointment by President Bush last year. It looked as if Bolton might not get confirmed as the Democrats and some Republicans made it clear they would not be supporting Bolton's nomination. I am a little surprised Bolton resigned but even more so that President Bush did not push harder for him to remain as our U.N. ambassador considering the job he has done at that post. I do not know why the so called tolerant Democrats are so intolerant of someone who does not fit into their mold of what a diplomat should be. Bolton was someone who was sent to try to provide a new kind of leadership at the U.N. and be a strong diplomat for the United States. But Democrats apparently did not like how Bolton did things apparently they feel that U.S. diplomats should roll over to the rest of the world and placate every dictator and malcontent. Democrats always go back to the same script as they repeatedly tell us how America's reputation in the world has never been lower since President Bush came into office. Furthermore they seem to feel that our diplomats must restrain themselves in dealing with the world because we must not use our powerful status to solve diplomatic problems. Democrats but more correctly liberals always seem to blame America first. It is always are fault for the problems in the rest of the world and so our diplomacy must be centered around that tenet. I recently came across a question comparing blind patriotism to discerning patriotism. Well I have another how about visible patriotism. Liberals at every turn seem to make it harder to tell whose side they are on as they openly blame America for the world's problems which makes dealing with the world that much more difficult not to mention when we are trying to fight a war. I think it is a great loss to lose John Bolton because he has proven that he is more then capable of being an effective representative for the United States. I only hope his replacement follows in his footsteps in dealing with the world and problems facing America. We cannot let the liberals dictate on this issue because they have shown in the past and with their continuing attitude that America's best interest it not always on their minds.
