When Will They Understand, Legal Is Good, Illegal Is Not

Posted by Always To The Right on Tuesday, October 16, 2007 10:38:06 AM

This from Kevin McCullough.


Former Mexican President Vicente Fox continues his "Make America Weak" tour this time in Houston spouting off about how our desire to be secure is equivalent to racism.

"You get the xenophobes trying to influence the debate and take it to their side," he said in English during a meeting with the Houston Chronicle's editorial board. "Fear, very unfortunately, is guiding the debate and the decision-making process on immigration.

"Immigrants are not terrorists, but still many people are dealing with the issue through fear."

True enough sir. Legal immigrants are NOT terrorists... but Illegal aliens are always by, definition criminals, and some of them turn out to be rather dangerous ones.

Do As I Say

Posted by Always To The Right on Tuesday, October 16, 2007 10:28:44 AM
Read this at Captain's Quarters.  It seems like the usual liberal do as I tell you, not as I do.

According to a book on Hillary Clinton, she personally reviewed transcripts of cell-phone conversations illegally tapped by members of her husband's first presidential campaign in 1992. The Hill notes that the calls took place between members of opposition campaigns, and would have been as illegal then as they are now. It places Hillary in the position of demanding limitations on surveillance of terrorists while having pursued wiretaps on political opponents.

In their book about Clinton’s rise to power, Her Way, Don Van Natta Jr., an investigative reporter at The New York Times, and Jeff Gerth, who spent 30 years as an investigative reporter at the paper, wrote: “Hillary’s defense activities ranged from the inspirational to the microscopic to the down and dirty. She received memos about the status of various press inquiries; she vetted senior campaign aides; and she listened to a secretly recorded audiotape of a phone conversation of Clinton critics plotting their next attack.

So Hillary doesn't want the NSA to intercept communications in defense of the nation, but had no problem with using such intercepts to get her husband elected President? Think that will play well in a general election?

We Can't Attack Fellow Liberals Right, But We Should

Double Standards at GWU  Now that he knows who's behind the "anti-Muslim" posters, GWU President Steven Knapp has suddenly lost interest in pursuing the matter. How odd..

Islam: Changing Lives for the Deader
The Empire State Building (currently New York’s tallest following the
toppling of the twin towers) will be adorned with green light in honor of
Islam's Eid-al-Fitr.  If Muslims succeed in knocking it down too, then the
Chrysler Building would be the next in line to celebrate the Religion of Peace.

Is She Going To Be A Future Commander In Chief?

Posted by Always To The Right on Sunday, October 14, 2007 10:17:46 PM

What the Washington Post is now admitting



A congressional study and several news stories in September questioned reports by the U.S. military that casualties were down. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), challenging the testimony of Gen. David H. Petraeus, asserted that “civilian deaths have risen” during this year’s surge of American forces.

A month later, there isn’t much room for such debate, at least about the latest figures. In September, Iraqi civilian deaths were down 52 percent from August and 77 percent from September 2006, according to the Web site icasualties.org. The Iraqi Health Ministry and the Associated Press reported similar results. U.S. soldiers killed in action numbered 43 — down 43 percent from August and 64 percent from May, which had the highest monthly figure so far this year. The American combat death total was the lowest since July 2006 and was one of the five lowest monthly counts since the insurgency in Iraq took off in April 2004.

During the first 12 days of October the death rates of Iraqis and Americans fell still further. So far during the Muslim month of Ramadan, which began Sept. 13 and ends this weekend, 36 U.S. soldiers have been reported as killed in hostile actions. That is remarkable given that the surge has deployed more American troops in more dangerous places and that in the past al-Qaeda has staged major offensives during Ramadan. Last year, at least 97 American troops died in combat during Ramadan. Al-Qaeda tried to step up attacks this year, U.S. commanders say — so far, with stunningly little success.

These Liberals Are Insane; They Really Will Get Us Killed

Posted by Always To The Right on Sunday, October 14, 2007 10:09:02 PM
The Real Enemy  Turns out that it's us! Or at least those of us who use the term "Islamic terrorists" to describe terrorists who kill in the name of Islam. Alan Colmes takes Steve Emerson to school on the issue of priorities.

Sharia by the Inch  The inroads that Islamists have been able to make into American society can be laid at the feet of political correctness. They are using our tolerance against us.

No Muzzle On The Media [Left Or Right]

Posted by Always To The Right on Saturday, October 13, 2007 4:18:16 PM

This is another example why liberals and Congress want to silence the alternative media and talk radio [fairness doctrine] and let us get our news from their friends in the MSM.  Read the rest of it here.


Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez’ speech and Q&A session at the Military Reporters & Editors convention has unleashed a whirl of major media coverage and commentary. (See Memeorandum, for examples.) All are focused on his criticism of the Bush administration for inadequate strategy and prosecution of the war.

However, neither the New York Times nor Associated Press mention that over 40% of Sanchez’ speech severely took the major media to task. The Washington Post merely mentions it, and then underplays it at the end of its report, giving it 67 out of about 850 words in its coverage:

If The Media Is Attacked And No One tells Us; Did It Still Happen?

Posted by Always To The Right on Saturday, October 13, 2007 4:08:02 PM

This from Powerline [below the Hewitt item].  Follow these links from a post by Hugh Hewitt, and see who is telling us what?  General Ricardo Sanchez gave a speech to the Military Reporters and Editors' annual conference yesterday, and Powerline's John Hinderaker has commentary and Scott Johnson has an easier to read complete text.  The Washington Post and others have wrongly suggested that Sanchez's primary targets were within the Bush Administration.  Judge for yourself, from these two excerpts:


If the Bush administration gets attacked, the press will report it. But what if someone attacks the press? If the attack goes unreported, did it ever really happen?

Today General Ricardo Sanchez gave a speech to the Military Reporters and Editors' annual conference, in which he criticized just about everyone associated with our effort in Iraq. The Washington Post's headline was typical: "Former Iraq Commander Faults Bush."

Actually, I don't believe Sanchez ever mentioned Bush by name, although, as I say, he was critical of just about everybody. But it would be hard to tell from press accounts of Sanchez's speech that he was mostly critical of...the press. Here is the first half of Sanchez's speech, verbatim

So, one might ask: Why did the Washington Post (and every other news outlet I have seen) not headline their story: "Former Iraq Commander Bitterly Denounces Mainstream Media's Coverage of Iraq War"? Or, perhaps, "Former Iraq Commander Accuses Biased, Unethical, Agenda-driven Press of 'Killing Our Servicemembers Who Are At War'"?

I guess the question answers itself. The Post has an agenda, and those headlines wouldn't have advanced it. The same is true for essentially all newspapers and other news outlets. It's quite a luxury to be able to decide whether criticisms of your own conduct ever see the light of day--a luxury the mainstream media not only enjoy, but abuse.

Not Needed Resolution By The House

Posted by Always To The Right on Saturday, October 13, 2007 4:10:22 AM
About the Democrat-led House Foreign Affairs Committee that pushed through a resolution recognizing as genocide the murder of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians at the end of the first World War.  Read it.


Americans might not realize it, but Turkey is strategically indispensable. About 70% of our flights into Iraq come from our Turkish base at Incirlik. About 30% of our fuel comes from there.

(By the way, this isn't the first time Congress has done this. It voted on similar resolutions in 1975 and in 1984. We're already on the record.)

No wonder Turkey is furious — talking even of shutting down Incirlik, which would cost the U.S. war effort in Iraq dearly and could even delay what appears to be a likely victory there.

This is where the Democrats' foreign-policy meddling and incompetence will get us: echoes of Jimmy Carter, who embarked on a badly-thought-out human rights campaign as the Soviet Union gobbled up more territory around the world.

Democrats style themselves as highly intellectual, nuanced global thinkers. But both in Congress and on the campaign trail they've shown themselves to be a bunch of bumbling, foreign-policy-challenged amateurs. Is this the best they can do?

These People Are Dumb, Dumb, Nothing The Government "Gives" Us Is "Free"

Posted by Always To The Right on Saturday, October 13, 2007 3:48:31 AM
Rasmussen poll: "Half of Americans support the notion of providing health care for free to all Americans, even though..." Listen to this, now: "even though they expect it will reduce the overall quality of care, increase the overall cost, and increase their personal costs."  What a bunch of lamebrains, if this is true -- and the Rasmussen people are not cranks.  

How do you go from providing health care "for free" to expecting your personal costs will go up?  How can your personal costs go up if it's free?  Besides that, they say they'll go for it even if it will reduce the overall quality of care and increase the cost.
