It's all Bush's fault!

Thanks mostly to political environment, we’ve all been mired in a debate over whether Iraq is in a state of civil war or not. What should be a cold assessment of truth on the ground in Iraq has, like every single aspect of the war, become politicized. If you describe the situation in Iraq as a “civil war,” it’s taken as an implied or direct criticism of President Bush more than your opinion of the actual state of play in Iraq. If you resist calling it a “civil war,” you’re usually seen as an apologist for the Bush administration and its policies.

Why everything has to revolve around Bush is a mystery to me. Making everything about him trivializes the war and personalizes it to the point that real policy debate becomes impossible. It makes our politics petty and hinders our ability to see reality for what it is and learn to adjust to it. It’s childish, but it’s where we are as a country.

So much for the new tone!

They are so bitter and hateful.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a critique the White House labeled as "poisonous," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi charged Friday that President Bush is wading too deeply into Iraq and said it should not be "an obligation of the American people in perpetuity."

Pelosi said Bush "has dug a hole so deep he can't even see the light on this. It's a tragedy. It's a stark blunder."

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino retorted that Pelosi's comments were "poisonous," referring to the portion of Pelosi's statement that asserted Bush is rushing new troops there and betting that Congress won't cut off funds once they're in battle.

"It's certainly not in keeping with the bipartisan spirit and civility that the Democrats pledged and that we looked forward to," Perino said. "Speaker Pelosi was arguing in essence that the president is putting young men and women in harm's way for tactical political reasons. She's questioning his motivations rather than questioning his policies."

Have they ever even read the constitution?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic leaders in Congress lobbed a warning shot Friday at the White House not to launch an attack against Iran without first seeking approval from lawmakers.

"The president does not have the authority to launch military action in Iran without first seeking congressional authorization," Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told the National Press Club.

I believe in the constitution. I believe that our founding fathers knew what they were doing.
I do not believe in an evolving "living" constitution.
The president is the commander in chief.
The founding fathers knew that you could not conduct foriegn policy and make decisions about war by committee.
The Democrats treat the constitution like a list of suggestions.
THe constitution is not a suicide pact and Even Bush is throwing it out the window.
THe judiciary has no power when it comes to intercepting enemy communications during wartime. The 4th admendment has nothing to do with the conduct of the president during wartime.

The Great Global Warming Hoax Update

"I've always loved self-described experts. A person named Dr. Heidi Cullen that apparently hauls in a paycheck from cable TV's the 'Weather Channel' caused quite a stir by suggesting that any meteorologist that disagrees with her personal stance on global warming should be stripped by the American Meteorological Society of their Seal of Approval.

This is the left taking another jackbooted step toward fascism.
Anyone who disagrees with them must be muzzled, banned, arrested, impeached and made fun of. Al Gore refuses to appear with any scientist who disagrees with him. they cannot debate the issue because they have huge holes (bigger than the one in the ozone which is getting smaller!) in their argument. And now Nancy Pelosi is going to form another committee to look like they actually care.

Must-watch dispatches on UK Mosques...

If you think that the war against the west is something
that Bush invented or caused, this should open your eyes.

This investigation into Britain's mosques, by Channel 4's respected Dispatches programme,has revealed worrying evidence of just how rife Islamic extremism is among Muslim preachers.

The undercover TV inquiry, conducted over ten months, reveals some religious clerics urging their congregations to start preparing for jihad (holy war) against infidels or non-Muslims. Another is caught on camera telling families to hit their daughters for not covering their heads with the veil or hijab.

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’... I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character... And if America is to be a great nation this must become true.”

—Martin Luther King, Jr.

Historian Shelby Steele observes, “There is an awful lot of conservative sentiment in black America, but at the moment, the party line is ruthlessly enforced.” Indeed, those who followed Martin Luther King when he was speaking of freedom, like Jesse Jackson, tolerate no dissension from their liberal ranks now. They have abandoned King’s dream, and aligned themselves with political and social agendas obsessed with color at the expense of character.

Black conservatives of national stature, like Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powel, Ward Connerly, Michael Steele, Jesse Lee Peterson, Alan Keyes, Don Scoggins, Alvin Williams, Ken Blackwell, Thomas Sowell, Star Parker and Walter Williams are routinely castigated by Jackson, et al., as “Uncle Toms” and “puppets.” Yet these are the men and women following the call of King.
