Abortion
Murder.
That’s what I think of when I hear pro-choice. How come death in the news is so tragic, but when it comes to killing babies, it’s the choice of the mother? I guess the liberal argument is that a baby in a woman’s womb is not a life yet. In my opinion, that just seems like rationalizing an immoral act. Even if it isn’t fully developed, it is still a human. A toddler is a human, and it’s not fully developed.
One argument I’ve heard that supports this is that a baby in the womb cannot survive on without the mother. Babies outside of the womb can’t survive alone either. Even some old people can’t survive on their own, occasionally, they need tubes going into their bodies to feed them and keep them alive. Are they not humans too?
One of the only good things about having the Scott Peterson trail on TV 24-7 is that the verdict accepts the fact that an unborn child is a human. You can't convict him of murdering his son if it really isn't a son.
Whether you agree or disagree with me, I would like comments on this post, it would be nice to see where other people are coming from, especially on this topic.

Charlie Daniels
I love Charlie Daniels. I found
this today thanks to
2 Slick
"We have two fights on our hands, the war against terror and the one against the loudmouthed lawyers and left wing media who would sap the strength from the American public by making us believe that we’re losing the war or doing something wrong in fighting it."
That's becoming a more common opinion everyday.

Soldiers on Rumsfeld
Do you think that Donald Rumsfeld has done a horrible job with this war? The soldiers apperently don't, they love him. If you don't believe me,
read this e-mail from a First Sergent in Iraq:
"There are over 12,000 troops on our base. Only 2,000 or so had the opportunity to attend the gathering (Donald Rumsfeld coming to their base)
and I can tell you, those were hotly contested seats.
Not as the media would have you believe, so we could voice our displeasure, but rather to have the opportunity to see and hearthe man we admire."
Pretty amazing, considering all of the negative reporting he gets.

Washington Governors Race
Finally the
governors election in Washington is "over". Sadly, the democrat, Christine Gregoire, has won. But, to me, it seems a bit fishy that they just keep "finding" new ballots. Maybe that is just because I would rather have the Republican, Dino Rossi, win. Apparently, the
newly discovered ballots had some problem with the voters' signatures, so the were rejected and forgotten. Why are they now being accepted without being thouroughly investigated. The Republicans are calling for additional investigation on these suspicious ballots. They say the race isn't over yet.

We Are In A War
We are in a war.
When I hear some Elite utter a despairing comment about the war, I cringe. We need to show hope about this war. Even if it looks bleak with all of the increased attacks, we need to ride this out with optimism. If, for you, the only way you can think this is by doing it for all the brave soldiers that have given their life for yours and so many others, so be it. By saying that there is no hope, that person is only denigrating all of the precious work that the troops do. Abraham Lincoln even said this way back on November 19, 1863 when he gave the Gettysburg Address:
"But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain."
Next time you think of denigrating our troop's efforts think of what it does to their moral every time they hear these negative remarks. Remember, we are in a war.

Annan or the U.N.
One of these has to go, Annan or the U.N. Not only is it a failed organization, but it's leader has failed the world. In this post I will make the case against Kofi Annan, without mentioning the Oil for Food scandal.
10 years ago, there was a genocide taking place in Rwanda. At that time, Kofi Annan was in charge of the U.N. Department of Peacekeeping Operations and he did nothing to stop this genocide of the Tutsis by the Hutus. The U.N. Peacekeeping troops were already in Rwanda, but instead of ordering the troops to protect Tutsis from mass murder, Annan decided to remove many of the troops that were there. The U.N.'s force commander in Rwanda, Gen. Romeo Dallaire, sent Annan faxes that described the horrible situation. Once, he said, "could kill up to 1,000 Tutsis in 20 minutes" talking about the Hutu militia.
Annan did almost the same thing in Bosnia where the men were taken from the women and were never seen again.
This isn't something you can just look over, this is a serious act that aided the slaughter of many men and women. In one
column, published in today's Wall Street Journal's
Opinion Journal, the author, Kenneth Cain, writes of his first hand account with a Rwandan Genocide Survivor:
Rwandans still seethe. Last month I went to a tiny, remote village, deep in the central Rwandan hills to meet Charles Kagenza, a famous Tutsi survivor who hid in the bell tower of a church full of Tutsis that was bulldozed to the ground, burying victims alive. When I told him I worked for the U.N. 10 years ago, just after the war, he looked me straight in the eye, with his one remaining good eye, and shot back, "What are you doing here? You had the capacity to save us but you abandoned us."
Kofi must go.

The Next Election
The media is already getting antsy for the next Presidential Election. They have been ever since Bush won. They are so disapointed that Bush won; the front page of the
MSNBC website has a link titled,
"Who’s next: the names you’ll be hearing in 2005". And guess all of the names it covers: Barack Obama, Barak Obama and, oh, Barak Obama. The entire article was very positive, it contained nothing negative relating to him, all this was doing was promoting somone who just happened to be a Democrat. The title is, "'The Audacity of Hope' Barack Obama: The Dems' freshest face has a new challenge: to help his party relocate its moral core. Meet him—and nine others who will shape our world." This article reeks of Bias, and it never covers the "nine others" (or maybe it did, I just might have zoned out while reading this very long and boring article).
The media refuses to cover anything positive about The Bush Administration, and don't say that's because there isn't any, cause there is, but they will write a HUGE article on how great Barack Obama is. The left wing media cannot believe that Bush retook the white house, so they have to look to the next election for "Hope."

What Iraq Was Really Like
Do you think that Iraq is worse off now that we liberated them? Think again; this
article on
Townhall by
Jeff Jacoby tells of what it was really like.
"a young Kurdish mother tells her daughter, who is wielding the camcorder, how she would burn herself with cigarettes to prepare for the torture she knew was coming."..."One man explains that Saddam's son Uday "'used to come often to Ravad Street -- every Thursday for the market -- to choose a girl to rape.'"
He also explains some of the other frequent tortures that Saddam instigated. This is an informative article that should be read if you think the U.S. isn't looking out for Humanitarian aid.

Scissors
Apperently, not being able to teach the Declaration of Independence isn't ridiculous enough for the public education system anymore: now a having a pair of scissors in school can get you sent to jail.
A
ten year old girl was handcuffed and brought to the Police Department in Philidelphia. No other henious act than taking a pair of the teachers 8 inch scissors would have a ten year old girl cuffed and sent to a Philly Police Department. That's just absurd, she didn't threaten anyone and didn't show any signs to do so. The scissors were considered a potential weapon, that was the school districts reasoning for calling the police. As
Michael Reagan asserted today on his Radio Show, almost anything can be classified as a potential weapon, next time you're teacher hands you a pencil, realize they are handing you a "potential weapon."
"'My daughter cried and cried,' Rose Jackson earlier told a Philadelphia newspaper. 'She had no idea what she did was wrong. I think that was way too harsh.'" The
article I have linked above explains has this and the whole story
Usually I'm on the side of the police, but they should have refused to take this innocent young girl. There was no basis for her arrest; I have a sharp pen or pencil all the time in school.
"It also was 'a waste of vital law enforcement resources,' the statement said."
This is all very silly.

What is going on in Jimmy Carter's head?
I have no idea what is going on in his head. When he was on Hardball with Chris Matthews he was talking about the "parallels" of the Iraq War to the Revolutionary War.
"Well one parallel is that the Revolutionary War, more than any other war, up until recently, has been the most bloody war we've fought."
And that's a parallel? In Iraq, we've just passed the 1200 mark of U.S. soldiers killed. I wouldn't call that one of our most bloody wars in history. Either way, I don't think that the Revolutionary War was our most bloody war: wasn't the Civil war our most bloody war, because we were fighting ourselves.
"I think another parallel is that in some ways the Revolutionary War could have been avoided, it was an unnecessary war."... "And of course now we would have been a free country now as Canada and India and Australia, having gotten our independence in a nonviolent way."
That is absurd! Here are the facts listed against this claim as cited in
News Max Magazine:
"Canada did not begin to gain independence until 1867. Australia did not receive partial independence as a commonwealth until 1901. India did not gain independence until 1947, and all those Indians who were killed by the British would hardly describe there deaths as 'nonviolent.'"
I'm going to have to stop writing to avoid calling Jimmy Carter some explicit names.

The Red Cross
I don't understand this citizen of the world junk. Yes, I live in the world, but I am a citizen of the United States of America, not a citizen of the world. This all has to do with the Red Cross accusing the U.S. of torturing prisoners in Guantanamo. Apparently the Red Cross can no longer decipher the good guys from the bad guys.
"...an explosive charge by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) that the United States has employed interrogation methods that are "tantamount to torture" against foreign enemy combatants detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The weaseling use of tantamount to is no accident. It is meant to blur significant definitional lines — all the easier to force on the United States the ICRC's utopian vision of "binding" international law, and end-run the actually binding laws that the American people, through their own constitution, have enacted in pursuit of their own security."
This is a great
article from
National Review Online that explains the whole Red Cross BS.

Communist News Network (CNN)
On the
CNN's website, they have an
anti-U.S. Military article as the first link on their homepage. It is a horribly biased article and it really depresses me.
First of all the title is, "Report: CIA chief paints bleak picture in Iraq." Now when you read that, doesn't it sound like the head of the CIA says the situation in Iraq is bad? But later in the article, they go on to say that this "Chief" is just a small "Station Chief" in Iraq. Then they say, "The station chief cannot be identified because he is still working undercover," This is suicide for the credibility of the article. Never, ever rely on an article whose source "cannot be identified," no matter what the article is on.
Toward the end of the article, they revealed that "U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte dissented on one point and argued that coalition forces have made greater progress against insurgents than the station chief conveyed." I would definitely take this guy's word over the word of some unidentified weirdo.
Why doesn't the Communist News Network ever comment on how well it is going, because it isn't going that badly. All the soldiers that have written or said anything about Iraq convey that it's going rather well. At least all of the soldiers that I have seen or heard.

Clarification
I have to apologize. I wrote that pork bill post when I was in a state of incredible flabergastation. I didn't understand why anyone would want to pass that bill. The truth is, I have no idea what is in that bill other than what that
article said, there could be some really great things in there that I haven't even heard about. But I still stand strong with my conviction that we don't need
any more unnecessary spending.

President Bush
If you have read some of my posts, you will notice that I am of the mindset that
Ronald Wilson Reagan was one of the greatest presidents of all time.
I also think that President Bush is a determined, strong-willed President. I respect him very much, and I don't respect too many politicians. I think that he has the potential of becoming the next Ronald Reagan. He has the right beliefs, the right congress, and the right dilemma.
In his first term, he waged a confident War on Terror, and he continues to fight it. Terrorism could be a much harder war to fight than the Cold War. My reasoning is that terrorist don't come from one country, and they don't follow any rules. If The President ends his second term strong he will be remembered as a successful president.
The U.S. military has done a stupendous job in Fallujah, and now is doing a great job with Operation Plymouth Rock. President Bush needs to use his "Political Capital" to crack down on taxes, spending, the borders and terrorism.
Sadly, I don't think that he will reach the level of Ronald Reagan, but the potential is there. Keep him in your minds and prayers; we can only hope he does as good of a job as Reagan did on everything including domestic situations.

Pork Bill
So how about this pork Bill? From what I see, it sounds like one of the stupidest Bills ever created. An
article from
Fox News writes,
"Among the special projects taxpayers paid for this year are a $25,000 study of Mariachi music in Las Vegas and an $80,000 hangout in San Diego for gays, lesbian, bisexuals and transgenders. Another $100,000 went to a Punxatawney Phil museum in Pennsylvania and $175,000 was assigned for a therapeutic center for horses. Alaska fishermen were given $3 million to help them sell seafood."
I don't understand why someone would want this Bill even if we weren't in a time of war and major deficit. It will probably pass because it is a bipartisan Bill, and the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Ted Stevens, said, "This is a bipartisan bill. I don't think there is a senator in this chamber who cannot or has not claimed credit for at least one bill,"
I really hope that President Bush vetoes this bill if it gets to him.
