Pillbox's Breakfast Rants and Raves - Tue 8/7/2007

Item 1: An article in the PI uses the MN Bridge collapse as a chance to criticize the federal response to Katrina. These people have lost touch with any inkling of objectivity! What is the point? They find some gal who still isn't in her home, and they use that as an excuse to Bush Bash. Maybe they think the President should be down there with a tool belt rebuilding her home himself?

Hatred is the only thing that comes out of the liberal media. I'm concerned that we're going to have a civil war here in the U.S. because of the lack of objective reporting.

Item 2: Roadside Bomb claims three...
The Sub-title on this article bothers me: "Their tour in Iraq extended in the "surge"". When I read this type of headline and subtitle, I realize we're fighting terrorists at home in the media, as well as on the ground in Iraq.

We've lost so few people over there. We're making peace, we're not making war. We're on a peacekeeping mission, and these soldiers volunteered for the job. In fact, they "wanted to fight for their country"; another was "estatic" to have the opportunity. Let's honor their sacrifice, not use it to detract from the effort of peacemaking.

Pillbox's Breakfast Rants and Raves - Sun 8/5/07

They're making more of the Ted Stephens deal than they did of the Democrat that was caught w/$100k in his freezer, and I've never seen anything in the paper about Harry Reid's problems.

I heard Rush Limbaugh say this week "It takes guts to be a conservative." Here, here. The Democrats have for years made fun of conservatives, and they don't like talk radio because now the shoe is on the other foot.
The new Democrat party has become a party of men-haters. That's why they hate Bush. He's a man. He's strong, and they hate that. He bends but he doesn't break. He's compromised a few times, and the Democrats have screwed him (No child left behind and the Prescription drug plan). So now he won't cross the line, and the Democrats would rather give in to Muslim extremists than to cooperate with the President and support our mission in Iraq.

Sean Penn is visiting Hugo Chavez. How ironic. Does he think that Chavez would see him if he wasn't a famous, wealthy American? He wouldn't have time to see one of his own people, or an ordinary American. I think that the Democrats admire the control that dictators have. They'd like that for themselves. They love Chavez, Fidel, and even Stalin. FDR had some of Stalin's people in his government. He called Stalin "Uncle Joe"! Scary.


No Surrender by Bruce Chapman on The Seattle Times Opinion page.
"Withdrawal from the middle east will lead to a bloodbath..."
This guy tells it like it is. I appreciate that. He doesn't pander to the nattering nabobs. His assessment is so obvious to the people who pay attention, rather than looking for things to be critical of.


INDY ADDS: The Barbary War was the first Middle Eastern Conlfict our nation became involved in when the Barbary pirates demanded ransom for captured US Sailors and merchantmen. President Thomas Jefferson refused to pay...

Oooh. Good. Breakfast is ready!
Enjoy your Sunday!
