HBO: Real Time with Bill Maher, Review of the New Season’s Third Episode 2007-09-07 23:24:00 Tonight was a typical episode of Real Time with Bill Maher. Bill Maher’s guests were Cornel West and rapper/actor Mos Def. Plus via satellite, socialist Ralph Nader and Colonel Larry Wilkerson. Most episodes of Real Time involve a “debate” between Maher, two Far-Left actors, one inarticulate RINO, and Maher’s heckling socialist audience. This time there wasn’t a single person right-of-center in the room. In fact, Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL 5th) was supposed to be added to the list. Talk about a trifecta of liberalism.Colonel Larry Wilkerson, who loves to attack the Republicans, said that he received emails from Iraq that nothing has really changed since the surge other than an increase in security. Well, for the love of god, that is a really big change. I thought we were supposed to bring security so that the Iraqis can control their own Country? While I did not agree with the War in Iraq from the start, to ignore the recent stabilization is a major success compared to t ...

Hollywood Seeks to Change "G.I. Joe" into an International Feminazi: Disgraces our Greatest Generation 2007-09-07 15:44:00 It was bad enough when Hollywood decided to create a movie portraying our soldiers as murderers and psychopaths while they are at War dying for the freedom of others. Now they are changing G.I. Joe into a multicultural soldier with no American affiliation. Yes, Hollywood limousine liberal idiots are exceeding my patience. I can handle their unabashed socialism, even their global warming insanity, but when they attack G.I. Joe, enough is enough.Paramount has confirmed that in their new movie, the name G.I. Joe will become an acronym for ““Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity” — an international, coed task force charged with defeating bad guys. It will no longer stand for government issued, as in issued by the American government.” Evidently, they are worried that the rest of the world would not accept an American soldier movie. Well, if we look at the facts, the rest of the world would be controlled by Nazis if it were not for the G. I. Joe. So if they do not like it, don ... Hollywood

Puff Daddy AND Celebrity Priorities. . . . 2007-09-07 09:05:00 Mr. Politics himself Sean "Diddy" Combs, who anointed himself the head of the "choose or lose"/"vote or die" movement (that's the only reason I voted) hosted a white party over the labor day weekend. Apparently you must wear white to get in. Well Billy Joel's wife, Katie Lee Joel, didn't show up in conformance with the dress code (she wore off white) and was told to go home and put on a white dress. Mrs. Joel opted to stay home.This is the same guy who wants to tell the 18-24 crowd how to vote. I'm sorry but I don't want kids who listen to this idiot choosing my President, Governor, Senator, Congressman, or even my parks supervisor. The less these flakes turn out the better for the Country. We are better off without the legions of fans of a guy who can't decide what his name is or for that matter, a "musician" who cant really write his own lyrics (he stole Sting's for his biggest hit).P Diddy is also always complaining about racism by whites against blacks and the horrible syste ...

Liberal Environmentalists Eating Their Own As We Predicted (Open Thread) 2007-09-06 23:37:00 As we predicted earlier this week, liberal environmentalists will eat their own with this global warming nonsense.On the Huffington Post, Bruce Freidrich is now attacking other liberals, Al Gore, and environmental groups for not being vegan. Why might you ask? Because if we all go vegan, these idiots think we can change the temperature of the Planet.The best part about this nonsense is that the liberal bloggers responded to Freidrich either by saying that he was going too far, or was not going far enough. Several of the comments are posted below for your enjoyment. These liberal bloggers are totally insane!Consider this an open thread."I think a more realistic approach is to suggest that people try more vegetarian dishes rather than telling them to jump into a vegetarian diet.Most people would find shunning meat altogether to be extreme and dismiss it immediately and entirely. In fact, I can picture them raising a drumstick in the air out of spite.""Both you and Sierra Club ignored ...

Fox News was the Most Watched Presidential Debate of 2007: Bad News for the Democrats and Hillary Clinton 2007-09-06 21:42:00 While the liberal bloggers spout that Fox News is nothing but “Fox Noise,” the American people disagree. The reason the American people overwhelmingly watch Fox News over CNN and MSNBC is because the other news programs cannot be trusted. They are too often factually inaccurate and overtly biased, MSNBC being the worst of all cable networks.Last night was a very enlightening debate. Even though some Republicans were disappointed with the candidates themselves, the format was better than prior debates. We really were able to see the distinction between candidates, and Fox News’ hosts are a major reason for that fact. Consequently, the American people actually watched the Republicans, knowing that Fox News would not allow the candidates to pander to their base. This may spell bad news for the Democrats, who continually refuse to show up on Fox News to appease the liberal blogger nutcases.Amazingly, Fox News Channel scored the highest rated presidential candidate debate of the ...

Republican Presidential Debate on Fox News Recap: The Appearance of a “Real” Debate 2007-09-05 21:46:00 At the Republican Presidential Debate on Fox News, Brit Hume and Chris Wallace demonstrated class and asked relevant questions as usual. It is amazing what a debate actually looks like when the television hosts know the issues. It is even better when the candidates are not served softballs so they can pander to their base.One of the most enlightening moments of the debate was when Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul were allowed to talk back and forth discussing the War in Iraq. There was no consideration for time; they went at it for at least two minutes. The discourse was wonderful for the American people, the Republican Party, and it gave me more respect for the political process as a whole.Moreover, Chris Wallace did not hold back when asking questions. He really held Ron Paul accountable for his position on the War. Likewise, if a candidate made a statement during the debate or made an error in judgment in the past, he was held to account.Mitt Romney undoubtedly was attacked the most ...

Norman Hsu Failed to Show up to Court, CNN.com and MSNBC.com Make No Mention of It 2007-09-05 16:58:00 Norman Hsu, the man involved in the present Hillary Clinton Fundraising scandal failed to show up for a court date Wednesday and a judge issued a new warrant for his arrest. (source). This is without a doubt the most important story of the 2008 election. Nevertheless, there was no mention of Hsu on the front page of CNN.com or MSNBC.com.Here are the “Top Headlines” for CNN.com• Lawmaker found dead in apartment• Military: Missing nukes flown cross country 17 min• Branson fears Fossett is injured• 'Law & Order' star banks on late entry• Police needs disbanding, Iraq report says• Spector prosecutor: "He killed her"• WFSB: Second anthrax case confirmed• Mom takes toys in trash bags to Mattel• Ticker: Bill Clinton 'pulling' for Craig, family• Your e-mails: iPod must haves• Dobbs: Mexican president's blatant hypocrisy• World's strongest man pulls truck• Losing pants better than losing life• Leona Helmsley's $12M dog rejected• Frea ...

Mark Cuban - Traitor 2007-09-05 15:45:00 Mark Cuban and his Dallas Mavericks can go to hell. It has become clear that it was Cuban who financed Brian De Palma's hit piece on our troops in Iraq (for those of you lefties who want to see this it's called Redacted). I have not seen the film so I can't overtly bash it. Apparently they are saying that all of the troops portrayed are paid actors and that none of the film was actually shot in Iraq.De Palma is a very skilled film maker (he made Scarface) so the movie will probably be very well done. And this is the problem. More lefty filmmakers and gazillionaires actively denigrating those that allow them to do what they do. I guess I will never get it. What is the last movie Hollywood made that portrayed troops in modern war as the liberators they are? Seriously, I cannot have conversations with these people anymore. The fact is, if they get their way, then our grandchildren will be slaves. I pray there are more of us than there are of them.Pat Dollard has more. . . Related Posts ...

Ted Kennedy Quashes "Global Warming Solution" 2007-09-05 08:53:00 Once again proving that liberals don't want their own policies to affect them, Ted Kennedy is fighting a proposal to build a wind farm in Massachusetts. Apparently the wind farm would disrupt the Kennedy's view as well as their sailing experience. For those of us who know the facts we know that a wind farm will accomplish little other then making land in Massachusetts more scarce while mollifying some of the global warming nuts. But that is not the point. The point is that all these liberals want us to bear the burden of their policies while they can live in the pent house. The video below sums it up pretty well.

Dianne Feinstein is a Big Fat Pig: Congressional Pork-barrel Spending/ Earmarks are Out of Control under Nancy Pelosi 2007-09-04 19:39:00 While the Democrats promised to clean up Congress, Nancy Pelosi and her ilk are letting the American people down miserably. Still, the MSM refuses to inform the public how corrupt the Democrats are. Instead, they would rather focus on a bathroom incident as the Democrats destroy our treasury worse than the Republicans ever did.If we review the numbers, the amount of pork-barrel spending and earmarks are out of control. Not only does Dianne Feinstein funnel money to her husband’s business with Iraq War funds, she spends more of our money than any other Congressman. Senator Dianne Feinstein raked in $382.3 Million, Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Pa., ate away at $186 Million, Barbara Boxer tore her “fair share” of $152.5 Million, Nancy Pelosi used her good ethics to spend $141.3 Million, Rep. David Obey, D-Wis. rang up $96 Million, and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., brought in $85.5 Million. Well, at least Nancy Pelosi allowed a bunch of children to sit on her lap in front of ...

The Clinton Crime Syndicate . . . 2007-09-04 08:48:00 The Democrat Party is merely a large crime syndicate run by the Clintons. The head of this operation may finally be pursued legally. According to the WSJ, the justice department is actually pursuing the Hsu case , which means that the Paw family will also be included in the investigation. I think there are a lot of pissed off people at the JOD right now for a number of reasons, which may actually lead to a thorough inquiry. I'll bet it's real hard to get a flight to China this week as all these illegal Democrat donors try to whisk themselves home.Pathetically, Hsu posted bail of $2mil, which is a pimple on his ass when considering the donations he purported to have given. Unfortunately this case will probably end like all other Clinton criminal investigations, just like most Soprano family trials - with the heads of the family getting away scott free.The Clintons will walk and everyone else will flee to China or go to jail. The Chinese conspirators will simply join the likes of Kathl ...

POLL: British Believe Global Warming Being Used as an Excuse to Raise Taxes 2007-09-03 20:18:00 It appears only the New York Times and Hollywood celebrities have missed the memo that there is no anthropogenic climate crisis. While scientists across the world and the American public know that Global Warming is nothing but a ploy for liberals to relieve their guilt, more people are catching on to this fact as well.According to a new poll, “nearly two-thirds of British citizens believe ministers are using environmental fears as an excuse to raise tax revenue.” This is good news for those who believe in sanity. All we need now is for Al Gore to enter the Presidential race and overplay his hand. I would love to see him lose another election because liberal elites told him that people actually believe his nonsense.One disconcerting fact, however, is that as the tide is turning, many American politicians and journalists make global warming a major political issue. Even a month ago, pollsters thought it was objective to ask the American public which Party was best on the "issue" ...

Liberals Learn that Carbon Offsets are a Swindle, Proceed to Eat their Own 2007-09-02 11:07:00 Liberals are finally catching on to the simple fact that Carbon offsets are a swindle. It is impossible to pollute 10 to 100 times the amount of the average American and then pay some company to counterbalance the effect by reducing emissions somewhere else in the world. Now we can all sit back as these environmentalist lunatics eat their own; it is going to be wonderful entertainment.While I do not agree with the premise that humans are contributing to any discernable planetary temperature change, liberal hypocrisy is an issue that must be confronted. When John Edwards tells a middle-class audience to give up their SUVs, while maintaining his own, his stupidity must be attacked. When Arianna Huffington creates a commercial telling Americans they are killing us every time they fill their tanks at the gas station to get to work, and yet she refuses to stop flying a private jet, we must call her on her arrogance. When Al Gore creates a propaganda movie pressuring us how urgent the c ...

Appalachian State Defeats The University of Michigan Wolverines 34-32!!! 2007-09-01 14:42:00 Today was the greatest upset in College Football History. Appalachian State defeated The University of Michigan Wolverines 34-32, at Michigan's Season Opener at the "Big House." This was nothing but a total embarrassment for the Michigan Wolverines. They should have won by a landslide.It is time for Lloyd Carr to be fired or resign. End of Story. When he recruits the greatest athletes and football players in the Country and continues to show up to the game ill-prepared (career bowl record of 5-7. Furthermore he has gone 1-4 in the past five years in bowl games), it is time for him to go.There is no excuse for losing to a B-level team when the University of Michigan was ranked #5 in the Country coming into this game. Now their season is over before it started. Consider this an open thread.Related EditorialsUFC 74: Randy Couture Defeats Gabriel Gonzaga !! (Open Thread) ...
