		<description>So, the MSM is afraid of losing access?  Losing access to what?  What do they think they have access to now?  Serious stuff?  Truth in any form?  No.  Just face time on the TeeVee.  

Arrogant, gluttonous pricks.

Ask questions.  Demand answers.  Otherwise, get off the airwaves.</description>

		<description>The real dictators are living it up in Saudi Arabia, where the King was chosen by Allah and has total rule over everyone and everything.

You know, the country where female Service Members are required to wear a burkha and cannot drive because Pres. Bush has sold his soul to them for oil.

Pres. Bush&#039;s reason du jour for attacking Iraq at one time was &quot;he&#039;s a dictator&quot; and he killed his own people.

I guess he decided to shove his head in the ground (or up his a$$) when he had to think about Saudi Arabia, where the exact same thing has gone on for decades.

Republicans pick &amp; choose their evils, and curry favors with other evils based on the power they provide.</description>

		<description>&quot;Let them know how you feel. If you read between the lines itâ€™s obvious that they are not going to read the comments here&quot;

Nah--

Any time you write to such delusional fools as these (or their employers), they&#039;ll no doubt look at it as &#039;fan mail&#039;, even when it is critical. 

The fact that these MSM whores have to hold a formal discussion with their colleagues, at their little &#039;club&#039;, to proffer their sainted opinions says a LOT (what, to each other? on tape? surely some egotistical moron will be capturing this for posterity...) ...

Like, it should tell you that they&#039;re running scared &lt;strong&gt;because&lt;/strong&gt; of comments here.

(Note that &quot;here&quot; is defined generally, as in &quot;The Blogosphere&quot;, not meant to endorse this particular blog)....

So...maybe...if these clowns want to quit losing audience share, they should quit acting like so many little lap-dogs, and start acting like the &quot;professionals&quot; that they supposedly are. 

When &#039;blogs&#039; can uncover more actual news on a shoestring budget than your &quot;mainstream media, owned by multi-mega-conglomerates-with-gazillions-in-the-bank&quot;, the problem is obvious--and it&#039;s not the bloggers&#039; problem now, is it?</description>

		<description>I think Tony should start his doghouse list with Drudge, the unofficial pioneer of political blogging (and a bullshit-spewing rightie)

Oh My Goodness!!!! Is Tony, et al, practicing some of the &quot;selective outrage&quot; that we&#039;re getting accused of daily around here??? Where was the indignance of the &quot;journalistic community&quot; a few years ago while Drudge was becoming such a go-to source for gop muckrakers and &quot;propaganda-launchers&quot;(to borrow a term coined by the Dubbie himself).

I think so!! - Righties are outraged when a lefty tells them to get F&#039;ed, but it&#039;s ok for Ann Coulter to call for killings and so on.....what a weak, &lt;em&gt;weak&lt;/em&gt; double-standard they accept, but, &lt;em&gt;that&#039;s&lt;/em&gt; who they are, and that&#039;s how they&#039;ve always operated.</description>

When the Chaplains Speak Out...
blackfive@gmail.com (Pundit Review Radio) 2/21/2007 2:25 PM
Via Tanker Brothers (brat), I received an email from a Chaplain (COL) who has been making his rounds in Iraq and Afghanistan - his email is about our politicians.  You know the disregard that the military holds for our White Flag Republicans and Defeatist Democrats is really bad when even the chaplain has something to say about it...

I believe what SGT [redacted] says is correct as I have found few if any soldiers ready to do what the democrats seem to want.  I&#039;ve been tardy writing my own letter because I wanted to give myself time to see and hear from more soldiers to be sure I had an understanding of what they were really thinking.  Well, I&#039;m ready to write another letter and after reading what this NCO says wanted to give you a little bit of a heads up to part of what I will say.  SGT [redacted] is typical when he says he&#039;s not willing to question anyone&#039;s patriotism.  But treason; yes I think most soldiers feel betrayed by our elected officials in both houses of congress.

How?  They listen to the incessant chatter of the politicians how they support what we do and wouldn&#039;t want to do anything that would hurt them.  But you see, that is just it, they haven&#039;t given us everything we need to do the job.  As much as we need the money and equipment, we need the moral and emotional support of our people and elected officials, otherwise the ground is cut out from under us.  This is what too many Americans fail to realize, what their military needs right now is the moral and emotional support to finish the job.  The soldiers, marines, airmen, and sailors on the front line know what they see and that a lot of good things are happening in their area.  They can see the opportunity for victory.  But when all we hear is how much our people hate what we are doing, and want us out before the job is complete, it causes some in the military to begin questioning whether we should even be here, in spite of the good things they see.  After all, who wants to risks their life for a conflict no one back home cares about?  Once that way of thinking takes hold of a military, they are compromised as a fighting force.  And I understand our senators, congress people, and media sitting in their comfortable little offices in their ivory towers would deny that is their intent.  Deny as they may though, that is precisely what they are doing to the United States military.

The bottom line, measured by the number of attacks daily, things are improving in Baghdad and Al Anbar Province.  Since those are the last two places that have to be pacified for is to stabilize Iraq we know we can win the war.  The question is not can we win this war, it is do the  American people have the will to win?

If you feel as the good Chaplain does, go on over to the Victory Caucus and join our effort to support pro-victory politicans and candidates.

By the way, the Chaplain echoes my first blog entry at the Victory Caucus where I wrote (with regards to my favorite Thucydides quote that Athens was built by men who knew their duty and had the courage to do it):

Of course, we can&#039;t really begin to proceed to a real victory until, like our soldiers,  the majority of our politicians know their duty and have the courage to do it.</description>

The latest institutional jihad of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), who has issued &lt;a href=&quot;http://mavericknewsnetwork.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/02/the_muslim_coun.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; new guidelines for the treatment of Islamic children in state schools&lt;/a&gt;, is not the first blatant attempt at dimmifying Britain.



The British, part of the European Union, should have paid heed in 1990 when â€œThe Muslim Manifesto: A Strategy for Survivalâ€ was promulgated to create the Council of British Muslims to act as â€œa Muslim parliamentâ€.

You can see the entire manifesto here. Here are some excerpts.



Britainâ€™s Muslim Manifesto made it clear that â€œPolitical and cultural subservience goes against their grainâ€ because â€œat its inception Islam created a political platform from which Muslims were to launch themselves on a global role as founders of great states, empires and a world civilization and culture.â€


According to the UKâ€™s Muslim Manifesto, â€œThe fact is that a Muslim woman cannot be a western woman.â€ The problem for Muslims in Great Britain was that â€œThere are laws on the British Statute Book that are in direct conflict with the laws of Allah.â€

â€œWe are Muslims first and last.â€

â€œJihad is a basic requirement of Islam and living in Britain or having British nationality by birth or naturalization does not absolve the Muslim from his or her duty to participate in jihad: this participation can be active service in armed struggle abroad and/or the provision of material and moral support to those engaged in such struggle anywhere in the world.â€

â€œIslam is our guide in all situations.â€

The power of this manifesto became clear when on July 7, 2005, born-and-bred Muslim British citizens killed their own British neighbors in Londonâ€™s subways and buses.


Assimilation, according to the Manifesto, wasnâ€™t even an option. Why need it be? By the early 1990s, there were already about 1,000 mosques in Great Britain, many of them former Anglican churches that had been abandoned and sold to Muslims. As is the case of France today, the Manifesto recommended that â€œThe Muslim community may have to define â€˜no goâ€™ areas where the exercise of â€˜freedom of speechâ€™ against Islam will not be tolerated.â€


Remember, this manifesto was written back in 1990. Did they plan their work? Yes. Are they working their plan? Ditto.



The next time you want to mock the â€œfundamentalistâ€ Christians, famed for their patriotism, think again.

The next time you shrug when you hear your local school system has banned the playing or singing of Christmas carols, think again.

The next time you are inclined to say or think unkind things about American or Israeli Jews, think again.

The next time your neighborhood, community or city yields to some new Islamic demand to conform to their â€œreligiousâ€ rules, think again.

The next time you read demands that something not be published or aired in America because it offends Muslim sensibilities, think again.

The next time anyone tells you that Islam preaches tolerance or peace, think again.

This is how nations and ultimately western civilization will quietly pass in a whimper of voluntary dhimmitude and not in a bang of resistance.</description>
