Rats desert a sinking ship

Sen. Arlen Specter has jumped ship and joined the Democrats, evidently seeing them as an island of saety in these politically turbulent times.

It's about time he showed his true colors anyway.

Olympia Snow, Susan Collins, and Jim Jeffords should follow suit.

The Republican Party so desperate right now that they are trying to co opt the TEA Party Movement, which is fed up with both parties.

Earlier this month Specter had denied that he ws doing what he just did.

Do we need any more lying politicians of either party?

Throw the bums out, start in 2020.

ARE YOU A RIGHT WING EXTREMIST?

Are you? Click on the title of this post and see what the Department of Homeland Security says.

People, every day, politicians are chipping away at our Constitution. Liberal Legal Scholars say it is a living breathing document, code for, we can change it to suit our needs.

NONSENSE!!!!

The Constitution of the United States is the Law of the Land. It is not to be interpreted, but is the light under which all other laws are to be held to determine their Constitutionality.

Know your Constitution; know your rights, not given in the Constitution, but enumerated in the Constitution as the Bill of Rights.

Media Hostility

Why are the media in general so hostile to good news from Iraq?

A recent story headline in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram said "Little Joy In Baghdad", but the story actually was about the positive results of the initiatives in Iraq, in particular the ability of

Iraqi Christians to celebrate Christmas with a great enough sense of security to put up trees in their homes and to go out to attend Christmas services at their churches.

This is not the first news report from the wire services (this one was an AP article), that I have seen that had a negative headline, but a positive story. Why do they do that? Is it that they know that the majority of Americans will read the headline only, conclude that things remain in chaos in Iraq, and decide there is no point in reading the article, thereby missing out on the real story?

Something else to think about; those against the war like to point out that this one has now gone on longer than WWII. Well, that is not exactly true. WWII stared a number of years before the United States entered into it. For Europe, that war had been going on for at least a period of two to three years.

We were also in Viet Nam for a longer time than we have been in Iraq. We had military advisers in Viet Nam before 1960, and didn't leave there until 1974. People check your facts. Stop believing the lies of politicians.
