America's "greatest war hero" shows that renowned liberal compassion Damn greedy UPS corporation. :angry: John Kerry thanks the Boston Children's Hospital and the New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans for their contributions. Another greedy corporation!! Greedy corporate bastards!!! Constantly exploiting the people, unlike John Kerry, who garnered 17 Purple Hearts, 8 Silver Stars and a Captain Cody Commando Code Ring out of a Cracker Jacks box - all in a period of 4 months. Btw, did you know that John Kerry served in Vietnam? Seriously though, when will John Kerry release his military records? He vowed to release his records once Bush did. President Bush released his records but Kerry has refused to do so. What is he hiding? It appears the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth have still got Kerry on the run. The liberal-controlled media did everything in their power to ignore the Swifties, then did everything in their power to destroy tehir credibility when they could no longer ignore them. How many times do you read articles that refer to the Swifties as "the discredited SBVFT"? Who could ever forget CNN's James Carville -while hosting Crossfire at the same time as he was a campaign advisor for John Kerry (a blatant blatant conflict of interest) - launching a red-faced/purple-faced insane attack on the SBVFT John O'Neill? It was one of the most disgusting examples of liberal bias I have ever seen. :angry: The fact is that the SBVFT are up 2-0. Kerry's campaign was forced to admit that one of his Purple Hearts *might* have come from a self-inflicted wound.... ...and Kerry's campaign was forced to admit that he was *mistaken* about his "sooper seekrit CIA campaign at the behest of Ricahrd Nixon" in Cambodia on Christmas Eve, 1968. If only the liberal-controlled media had bothered to factcheck who was the President at Christmas time in 1968... John Kerry: The public demands that you sign Standard Form 180 and release all of your military records. The public demands to know what you are hiding. It's a matter of public record that you shot a teenage boy in the back while he was fleeing from you; it's a matter of public record that your picture hangs in the North Vietnamese Military Hall of Fame; it's a matter of public record that you met the VietCong in Paris while you were a reservist. The public demands that you release all your military records. Hey, at least you didn't flee to England to avoid the draft like that coward Bill Clinton did. What is John Kerry hiding? Unfortunately, the liberal-controlled media will never tell us what he is hiding as they are too busy investigating if Bush missed a day of service at the TANG 30+ years ago.

I missed the Victor Davis Hanson/Arianna Huffington debate, but I caught the Christopher Hitchens/George Galloway debate. Poor Galloway. He got the living snot kicked out of him on the debate floor. I pretty well tuned out Galloway when he lied and said that Al Qaeda had nothing to do with Saddam. But I think the most entertaining part of the show was that old hippy in the pre-show. His use of the word "man" was like a trip back to the 60s. Yeah man, sure man, okay man, etc. And I have to give the Quote of the Day™ to that old hippy: "Computers are oppressors, man." And the LLL wonders why few take them seriously... And how about the rap song to end the debate..."George Bush don't like black people".... That should have been put in the thread I aptly titled, "The ugly hate-filled left". :angry:

So you concede that you're a bore on the subject, then? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ahhh, childish insults. You would have fit right in with the radical leftists in the crowd at the Hitchens-Galloway debate. Indeed, your user name says it all.

Cindy Sheehan and a few of her supporters in quotes: And I didn't even post her support from Neo-Nazi groups like Stormfront and Vanguard, nor did I mention that Code Pink (the group behind "Mother Sheehan") sent $600,000 to the terrorists in Fallujah for their battle against the US Marines. :angry: Nobody better ever tell me that the far-left isn't on the side of the Islamofascists. :angry: :angry:

Cartman: Good grief, Cartman. Study after study after study after study shows liberal bias in the media, yet you cannot "understand the contention that the media contains a liberal bias?" Why do you think that the left constantly complains about the Fox News Channel, but they are virtually silent when it comes to the rest of the mainstream media? If conservatives complained about CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, Vanity Fair, Vogue, the LA Times, NPR, CBC, CTV, the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, etc. etc. half as much as liberals scream about Fox News, even I would say conservatives were getting to be a bore on the subject.

thats too bad, CNN is far more balanced then most of the others. Fox news can some times be neutral but several of their "talking heads" are obviously pro conservative. CNN in my opinion is still the most honest, or attempt to be honest network news. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry, but I disagree. Fox cannot hold a candle to all the scandals of CNN. Just a few examples off the top of my head: 1) CNN admitting they didn't report on Saddam's atrocities because they wanted to keep their Baghdad bureau open. 2) Eason Jordan claiming that the US military was deliberately targeting journalists (he said this at a European conference in Geneva). When asked to provide some proof, he huffed and puffed, refused to turn over the videotape, and then resigned when the pressure got too strong. 3) Peter Arnett. Nuff said! 4) Paul Begala and James Carville were allowed to continue hosting Crossfire when they were both advisors to John Kerry's campaign - a blatant conflict of interest. Just imagine if two Fox News personalities were advising the Bush campaign while hosting a Fox News show. The liberal media would have blown a gasket. Indeed, Peggy Noonan of the Wall Street Journal took a leave of absence from the WSJ when she went to work on the Bush campaign. That's called integrity. 5) Remember Judy Woodruff after Zell Miller's speech at the RNC? She said to Zell, "Why don't you just join the other side?", and then crossed her arms across her chest and turned away from Miller - refusing to even look at him. 6) Jack Cafferty. In all the years I have watched CNN, he has NEVER read ONE email that supported Bush. Consdidering that a majority of the public supports Bush, I find this very very biased. 7) That US Marine general who said it was fun to shoot at the Taliban. CNN only showed that phrase. However Fox showed what he said before that, i.e., that the Taliban liked to slap around women and ergo, it was fun to shoot the Taliban and kicks their asses. Politically correct? No. But put in context, i believe that most of the public agreed with the general. 8) Today. CNN was spinning that California Governor Ahnold was in trouble. Bull. Even in liberal California, he is popular. He will be reelected. Mark my words. 9) Today. Wolf Blitzer frantically trying to spin that Bush was responsible for the lack of response in New Orleans. He had NOTHING to say about Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin. And then Blitzer was whining that the money spent on Louisiana's disaster relief would cost taxpayers. Bush cannot win on CNN. Ever. There is a reason why Fox whips CNN's ass in the ratings. Indeed, the last ratings I saw showed only one CNN show (Larry King Live) in the top 12 cable news shows ratings. The #12 show was Fox and Friends First, which airs at 6 AM on the East Coast and 3 AM in the West Coast. A Fox News show (Fox and Friends First) in a crap time slot beats every show on CNN for ratings except for Larry King Live.

Shame on the Globe and Mail We're progressive; we're liberal; we are superior. Sure, the US dominates culturally, economically and militarily, but we have unlimited taxpayer-funded abortions on demand at any time of a female's pregnancy, and we have gay marriage which was rammed through parliament against the wishes of Canadians. [...] Silly rightwingers with their "facts" and "data". A bunch of hatemongers who don't understand that Europe is a EUtopia. Sure, their economy is suffering, but that is only because they are being oppressed by the religious right in the USA! Seymour Hersh's articles are always full of anonymous sources and Hersh always speaks the Pure Truth. So what if one person morphs into some people? Neocons. NO BLOOD FOR OIL!!!! Facts shmacts. The only important fact is: BUSH LIED, PEOPLE DIED!!!! A mere typo that snuck by the editors. That's all. Nothing to see here. Move along. Damn rightwingers at it again with their so-called facts. NO BLOOD FOR OIL!!!! That's exactly what it means. Only a Zionist rightwing neocon would claim that Al Qaeda means "The Base". If you were a progressive liberal, you would know what that means.

That may be true, but Canada is helluva lot better than France or Germany. Canada is more like the UK, and is - as the French would say - more so resembles the "Anglo-American" rather than the European social model. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Tony Blair was smart enough not to dicker much with Margaret Thatcher's deregulations and tax reform. I was very disappointed in PMPM siding with the radical NDP and using that $4.6 billion on social programs instead of tax cuts. The far left likes to rail about corporations, but they create something very beneficial to society; they create something called J-O-B-S. Btw, do you know what Germany and France's maximum tax rates are? I saw an article a couple of months ago and I forget which country was which, but one country's highest tax rate kicked in at about $72,000 CDN, and the tax rate was 47%; the other country's highest tax rate kicked in at about $115,000 CDN and the tax rate was 58%! And they wonder why they have a brain drain to the USA?!

The tax-and-spend crowd has been predicting a "really, really bad fall" for 25 years now. When it does happen, say 500 years down the road, they will say, "See, I told you so!"

Afghan mission cut short to save money We have to save billions for state-run, taxpayer-funded, unionized govt worker-run indoctrination centres for our youth. Big deal. We need to spend billions on junk science like Kyoto. The earth is warming because of man; just like the earth was turning into the Ice Age in the 70s because of man. As the radical leftists in the crowd at the Hitchens-Galloway debate chanted, "Who cares?" - when Hitchens praised the US for making life better for the Afghan people. Helping a fledging democracy would so *ugh* American-like. The single most important thing to the Canadian govt is changing the 2000 year definition of marriage - even though the public was against this. We're progressive; we're liberal; we're Canada.

PocketRocket: I believe Freud had a term for what you are trying to insinuate; projection.

CNN producer to guest: Get angry about Hurricane Katrina when you go on the air And guess who broke this story? Michael Kinsley, a lifelong diehard liberal. CNN's tepid reply to getting busted was pathetic. :angry: And there is even more. On the 4th anniversay of September 11, CNN, TNT and CNN Headline News chose to air a sick commercial from a moonbat conspiracy web site, claiming that the World Trade Center was blown up on purpose with controlled detonations: Why people are tuning out CNN and moving to Fox because they want fair and balanced news Nice 9-11 tribute, CNN. About as classy as the 9-11 tribute from that Hollyweird landwhale, Michael Moore. No wonder Fox's ratigns are 2.5 to 3 times higher than CNN's. The public only wants fair and balanced news. And CNN in the USA is actually mild compared to CNN International. CNN Int'l is akin to the EUrinal media; hardcore anti-Americanism. :angry: Jealousy is such a strong emotion....

Governor Blanco busted - and it's on video Here is video where Democrat Governor Blanco is being set up several days ago for a TV interview, and her press secretary is helping her adjust her mic. They’re having a personal conversation and the cameraman catches it. In it, she jokes to her press secretary, “yeah, well I guess I really need to ask for troops." A bit later in the segment she gets into a semi-argument with Miles O’Brien, and he’s pointedly asking her exactly WHEN she asked the President for troops. She gets frustrated and says she didn’t even know what day it was, she was confused, but Miles presses her. Damn that evil internet for exposing the incompetence of Democrat Governor Blanco! :angry: How the left longs for the days of only network news; the days of Walter "the US lost the Tet Offensive" Cronkite, who signed off every night saying "and that's the way it is". Now the leftwing media can be factchecked in a matter of minutes, and their lies are quickly exposed.

Another good recruiting month for the US military The Army is at 90% for the year and all services are at 96% for the year (with the other 3 all running over 100%). With retention for all services on track to exceed their goals for the year, the active military is fine in terms of meeting their manpower requirements. Another liberal wet dream dies.

Leaving aside the fact that you provide no evidence to back up your ridiculous claims. Unemployment in the US is still lower then in Canada, per capita income in the US is higher then in Canada. And using your ridiculous premise, do you really think people would opt to make more then minimum wage, but have to go fight in a war? Give me a break. Go spread your manure in a garden. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You have to excuse Eureka. He thinks that being poor in the US is like being poor in Canada. He completely ignores the fact that the US per capita GDP is 27.3% higher than Canada. Indeed, African-Americans (the lowest per capita GDP group in the US) has the same standard of living as the typical Western Euro living in the EUrinal/EUtopia. Eureka claims the US unemployment rate is a lie, the US election was stolen by Bush - again(!), the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup last year, etc. It's all a neocon conspiracy according to Eureka! Although, I have to give credit to Eureka for one thing: The jobless rate in the US is misleading, since it doesn't count the entrepreneurs in the country, i.e., the people who have their own businesses. It only counts the payroll of companies. And the American public is very entrepreneurial. I suspect that the 4.9% unemployment figure is even lower.

I don't know why you call him a former-nobody. Jalal Talabani is one of the longest serving figures in contemporary Iraqi Kurdish politics I find your contempt for this man revealing. But he's just one of those brown-skinned people who deserved to be under Saddam's boot, right? What a crock. Of course they were pro-Saddam. Did you see any posters demanding that Saddam quit murdering his own people? Any banners demanding he stop sending $25,000 cheques to the families of displaced Arab suicide bombers? Any posters demanding he allow the UN inspectors unfettered access to sites in Iraq? Any posters demanding that he abide by the ceasefire he signed? Every action has a reaction. Logic 101. Perhaps you weren't paying attention when your mommy and daddy taught you this. The protesters and anti-war crowd clearly wanted Saddam to continue his rampage of murder, torture and rape. Bull. When you sign a legal document and break said document, enforcing said document is NOT illegal, unless you live in Bizarro World. The protesters and the anti-war crowd. Reading comprehension. Learn it. This whole post has been about the actions of the anti-war crowd and the protesters. What part of it is so utterly confusing to you? I suggest laying off the Kool-Aid; you're embarrassing yourself again. Another crock. After the recount in Ohio, Kerry gained 300 votes. So instead of losing by 120,000 votes, he "only" lost by 119,700. You can swig the conspiracy Kool-Aid all you like, but the fact is that only 5 people have been convicted for voter fraud from the 2004 election, and all 5 were Democrats. As for your sneer against the Iraqi Parliament voting in Talabani, it's jsut another example of the hatred that the left has for democracy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A better example is America liberating all those Eastern European countries, fighting (and beating) the communists in Central America, and liberating Iraq and Afganistan. But according to err (an apt name, I might add), Talabani was put into power by the Americans. Meanwhile, I will learn how to use these damn quote tags correctly, but I have no time to dicker around now, as I have to get back to work.

Tell that to the American folks. Bush's handling of the economy, 33% approve http://americanresearchgroup.com/economy/ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The people think this way because the liberal press tells them the economy is weak, and because the president does not rebut the press - a big weakness in the Bush administration.

I suspect that this is a troll post because no one could be so blindly ignorant of the reasons for overthrowing Saddam, but I will take the bait and, again, post this for the uninformed: Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq This was passed by Democrats and Republicans alike in Congress. There are 23 clauses - 12 of which are about the broken ceasefire and the 16 broken UN resolutions.

Sept 14 at 7 PM Eastern Time: Christopher Hitchens versus George Galloway Unfortunately, the moderator for this debate will be radical leftist Amy Goodman, so you can expect biased moderation. Think CBC moderators. Galloway is the Saddam supporter who admitted in an interview (which the liberal media refused to report) that the "progressives" were on the same side as the anti-American/Western Islamists...like we didn't already know that. I don't know what to make of Hitchens. He seems to be one of those leftists who woke up to reality after the 9-11 declaration of war on America. I saw a poll of favorite writers recently, and he was in the top 15 favorites of both the right and the left. Hitchens gives a preview today with this pointed taunt: George Galloway Is Gruesome, Not Gorgeous. Now, watch me debate him Sept 14 at 8 PM Eastern Time: Victor Davis Hanson versus Arianna Huffington This will be a mismatch. VDH is one of the smartest guys around. It will be like when Dick Cheney chewed up John Edwards during their debate. However, I have to give Huffington credit for having the guts to take on VDH. Perhaps she thinks the campus crowd of youngsters will save her, a la Crossfire always being held at Georgetown University, so Begala and Carville wouldn't look like the clowns they are. She's got more guts than DNC Chairman Howard Dean, who has refused to appear on Bill O'Reilly's No Spin Zone - and O'Reilly is no VDH.

Americain, I think you hit the nail on the head. Most of them do seem to be a self-loathing bunch. Thus, there constant embracing of the West's enemies and blaming of every act of evil on the USA. I find most of them are young anyway. As Churchill said, "If you are under 30 and not a liberal, you are heartless. However, if you are over 30 and not a conservative, you are a fool.

Taking a look around the most popular US rightwing blogs on the Internet, one can see many tributes to the brave firemen, sympathy for the victims, "Never forget" tributres, etc. Now, let's take a look at the popular leftwing blogs for their reaction to the 9-11 anniversary: 1) The Daily Kos - the most visited US leftwing blog on the Internet - had one post titled: 9/11 The Media Still Doesn't Get It That's their entire contribution to the 9-11 anniversary. A rant against a blogger from Time Magazine's 2004 Blog of the Year getting to write a column in a newspaper. Oh, and that "rightwing media" still doesn't get it. 2) The George-Soros funded Atrios (Duncan Black) had a one word statement: Fu*kers with a link. Did the link go to a story about the hijackers and their supporters, those fu*kers? No. Atrios linked to a story critical of President Bush and the military; they were the fu*kers. 3) From MoveOn.org (of Bush=Hitler infamy), we get NOTHING. 4) From MyDD, we get NOTHING. 5) Over at the wildly popular fever swamp known as the Democratic Underground, we see an outraged thread about Sept 11 also being the anniversary of the communist Allende being overthrown in Chile, and lack of media coverage been given to it. However I did find a thread titled "How Did You Mark The 4th Anniversary of 9/11". Some of the enlightened responses: a) Decided to do some leafletting. In a grocery store parking lot, I targeted mostly the big, gas-guzzling urban assault vehicles, and all with yellow ribbons or other such regalia. But later in the day I went into the parking lot of the local fundie church. It was so rewarding placing the flyers under the windshield wipers of all the cars with "W" stickers (some very fresh, at that)." i wrote a poem, had hot sex, drank a lot of whiskey & watched bikini models strut on a fashion week runway below my fire escape -- it's been a good, old fashioned, lower east side, bohemian kind of day -- the best of new york -- i'm a patriot, damnitt. c) I continued to do some work for the Democrats so we can get rid of the type of people who let this and NO happen. I hope they rot in hell! d) I did my errands, was depressed as usual, wanted to beat the shit out of some asshole bad drivers, tooling around in their massively large SUVs with their waste-of-resource huge families, blathering on cell phones with W. stickers on their bumpers. Fat, stupid pigs." e) You know...went shopping, drove past poor people...nothing different. After checking out the reaction to the 9-11 anniversary from the popular leftie blogs, I just cannot understand why so many question their patriotism. Oh right. I forgot. It's "dissent".

Nagin: The worst Mayor ever This is beyond pathetic. You have the mayor of New Orleans, THE MAYOR, admitting that he made no preparations whatsoever to evacuate his city after the hurricane. He had city buses that could have been used to evacuate the city before and after the hurricane. In fact they were supposed to be used for that purpose, but he didn't order that it be done. Then when he's asked about his gross incompetence, he says: "I dont know. That is (a) question for somebody else." And one top of that, he has now joined the race-baiting Democrats (and some others on this forum) claiming that it was racism on the part of the Bush administration. No wonder these clowns are in the minority in the Senate, House of Representatives, governorships, and can't get in the White House.

Classic example of a rabid anti-Bush loonie. Thank you for proving my point. You're offically deemed irrelevant as are your "opinions", not to be mistaken from Moveon.org talking points. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A classic case of Bush Derangement Syndrome. Bush wears cowboy boots. Oh, the horror! Did you notice he never said what channel broke the Bush DUI story days before the 2000 election? The *cough* Fox *cough* News *cough* Channel. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The only thing you could come up with in response to that is Cowboy boots? Who cares who broke the story on the DUI... The Republicans pulled the wool over the worlds eyes with this guy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep. All those 62 million Americans were stooopid and had the wool pulled over their eyes. If only they had listened to the liberal elitists and elected great men like Gore and Kerry. Just another example of why the peons need to be taxed heavily and have the liberal elitists spend their money for them. The American people are just too gosh-darned stooopid to know what is good for them. Didn't they heed Michael Moore's wise words? Americans are the stooopidest people on earth. Btw, I cursed out my neighbor down the street the other day. He has the nerve to wear cowboy boots and he doesn't own a farm or ranch. The bastard. :angry:

Err, that's just more anonymous sources from the liberal WaPo, i.ei., it is probably a made-up story - National Enquirer style. I'm surprised you fall for stuff like this.

Government jobs are a huge strain on the hard-working taxpayers of Canada. I know a few people who work for the govt. Every single one has the same thing to say: The govt is grossly inefficient and if it was a private company, they would be out of business. They all tell me about the 30-40 minute coffee breaks and the extra 15-30 minutes for lunch. Flabbergasted, I ask them, "What does your supervisor say?" They all tell me that their supervisor is there with them. Granted, I am only talking about a half dozen people, but if you add it up for a whole department (about one hour per employee a day on the taxpayers dime), it is a flagrant abuse of taxpayer money. I am not dissing the govt employees I know; they are lucky. However, I resent having to pay for this gross inefficiency. I cannot afford to pay my employees an extra one hour a day to sip coffee and take long lunch breaks, and I resent having to pay for this waste. One of the first things you learn in Business Administration is: Efficiency plus Effectiveness = Economy (the three Eees). In the interest of fairness, I am sure that there are some good honorable govt employees, but I truly believe that most are infected with the "screw the public; we've got it made" disease.
