Brown University - Ultimate Illegal Drinking Party Haven?

Brown University is recognized as a university party haven. What Brown University really represent is the height of irresponsibility by allowing such parties to occur on campus using a university building (not fraternity or sorority owned buildings) to host their twice a year party known as SexPowerGod, Starf*ck and Spring Weekend. The biggest campus social event of the fall is the annual SexPowerGod dance, sponsored by the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Alliance and advertised with dining-hall displays (and here) depicting pairs of naked men or women. Nice incentives to come, huh? These types of party bring out nearly everybody, including those who are straight. It's not a homosexual issue or transgendered, it's the university's irresponsible action to allow such public parties in campus buildings such as Sayles Hall and not stop drunk students from entering the premise.

But what's kind of amazing is that B.U. founded Brown EMS:

Brown EMS was founded in 1978, and provides advanced life support service and a single ambulance to the Brown community. It has a paid staff of five supervisors, as well as 120 student volunteers, working three daily shifts in the morning, afternoon and night, according to Lapierre.

They cover not only party incidents but sports injuries, falls, chronic illnesses, diabetic emergencies, people feeling sick, major trauma and occasional cardiac emergencies. Still it doesn't excuse the fact that parties do go on in colleges and universities filled with drunken idiots.

"If kegs come back to campus, yeah, we're going to have a problem," Lapierre said of the proposed Undergraduate Council of Students initiative to lift the ban on kegs.

While statistics by year of graduation are not kept, based on his 10 years on the job, Lapierre said "a large percentage of your alcohol calls, the majority, are freshmen." He added: "I don't think seniors drink any less than freshmen. But they learn to handle it better."Mark agreed, noting that very few students are treated more than once for alcohol poisoning. "It's a learning curve thing," he said.

This may sound alright, however, events like SexPowerGod is held in Sayles hall (wait for loading to view 360 degrees), a very old, prestigious building. It is not a dormitory but a building with a rich history where numerous tasteful parties, concerts, ballroom dancing, swing events and of course the well known SexPowerGod mass orgy party event that is held every year there where many students, presumably underaged, are already drunk.

No alcohol are permitted to be sold on the premises of Sayles Hall, of course, but instead like what every good college students do is get drunk before coming to the SexPowerGod (et al) party to help shed their inhibition.

Members of Brown Emergency Medical Services once found a girl passed out with her head in a toilet. Her face was less than an inch from the vomit-filled water. If her shoulders had been a little narrower, or the toilet bowl a little wider, she would have drowned."We've had a lot of close calls," said Richard Lapierre, manager of Emergency Medical Services. But to his knowledge there have been no alcohol-related deaths at Brown.

Whew! No alchol-related deaths at B.U. Doncha think that such an attractive party helps students premeditate on the massive amount of alcoholic drinking prior to attending? Wouldn't most of them be under the age of 21? Somehow I don't think ballroom dancing or swing clubs actually encourage pre-drinking drunkards to attend these tasteful events at Sayles Hall. Nor did these event organizers try and stop drunk students from entering, either.

Flores said many party-goers felt they had to be inebriated to comfortably attend the event.

....

Flores said event organizers did not prevent students who were obviously under the influence of drugs or alcohol from entering the party. “What regulated the party was solely the ticket - if you had a ticket you could get in, if you didn’t, you couldn’t come in,” he said.

But when you read statistics that nearly 25 percent of all EMS calls are alcohol-related, do they not at all raise red flags about the drinking problem and especially those caught and disciplined by the university for alcohol violations? The drinking age at Rhode Island where Brown University is located is age 21. The real alarm is that students' age range from 18 to 21 years old starting with freshman to senior undergraduate students where they make up 75% of the students' population? And yet nearly 25 percent of all EMS calls are alcohol-related? See the picture? Yet around 100 - 150 students (ie mostly undergraduates I would guess since they tend to be more irresponsible than graduate students wouldn't you say?) are disciplined for alcohol violations each year. And yet no arrests or explusions for under-age drinking at Brown University ever occurred? Isn't under-age drinking unlawful?

It is unlawful for individuals who have not attained the age of 21 to purchase, possess, or consume alcoholic beverages. It is also unlawful to deliver alcoholic beverages to a person under the age of 21, or misrepresent oneself as having attained the age of 21 to procure alcoholic beverages. There are no exceptions to these laws that are applicable to members of the Brown University community.

Brown University students are expected to comply with all federal, state, and local laws pertaining to alcohol. The illegal possession, use, provision, sale, or possession with the intent to sell alcohol is prohibited by University regulations. Students seeking to sponsor activities where alcoholic beverages are to be served must have all required University approvals and abide by established University procedures.

Similarly, Brown University employees are expected to comply with all federal, state, and local laws pertaining to alcohol.

Why wouldn't Brown University expel students who break the underage drinking law? Well, considering that it cost each student about $45,000 per year to attend Brown University, and if around 100 undergraduates are expelled for alcohol violation for underage drinking, then this would mean throwing out about $4.5 million dollars a year. Sounds like a good excuse NOT to expel those students. Some things are best be kept secret at the university level and a slap on the wrist is good enough. Plus add a good alcohol re-education program would be the best thing there is ljust ike what Dr. Dwight B. Heath proposed.

Dr. Dwight B. Heath of Brown University believes that the drinking age ought to be lowered and that the education on alcohol can be taught hoping students will eventually drink responsibly. Hoping? How about removing the incentives to drink instead?

Incredibly, the Undergraduate Council of Students of Brown University attempted earlier this year to lift the ban on kegs and instead regulate their use on campus. They list their pros as to why kegs should be allowed. One example was that it is more "environmentally friendly" to have kegs compared to mounds of aluminum cans expelled all over the campus lawns. But haven't B.U. heard of a concept called "dry campus" or "dry dorms"? Some students do not agree with this idea while other students do agree. However, Gallaudet University students have enjoyed their dry dorms for the last several years on their right to have a conducive place to live and study where deaf students no longer have to deal with vomits on dormitory stairwells, inside elevators, in shower rooms, on sidewalks and passed out deaf-retard students laying in their own vomits in the lounge rooms in dormitory halls at 9 AM in the morning where they deserve a swift kick in the head for their idiocy.


Hat Tip: Bill O'Reilly - well, don't blame Bill, blame Brown University and the event organizers for their stupidity that was wanting on it getting reported. Now, it's national news.

When CNN Calls Two Teens in Paris "African-American"

I saw this last week and other blogs are reporting this. It really shows the competency of CNN reporters and anchors on reporting factual news. Ditzy CNN anchor Carol Lin referred to the two teenagers who were accidentally killed in Paris that sparked the weeks long riots as being "African-American" just because they are black who came from Tunisian descent out of north Africa.

Newsbusters has the video.

How droll. And how stupid is this Carol Lin is. This is the best that CNN has to offer for a news anchor? How far politically correct are they trying go for? So, all blacks are "African-American" now? See how they attempt to play the race card? I know that "African-Frenchies" sound a bit off here but really now.

Sheesh.

Check out Cassandra's Page and Irish Pennants blogs and see how they, too, chuckled over the boneheaded clueless remark last week on Commie News Network.

Terrorist French Fries and Sharia Law

The terrorist French Fries continue with their third week of violence without anything coming from Muslim immigrants terrorists areas in terms of their hidden agenda. The MSM and the world press continue to downplay these uprisings as mere "rallys" while the French government asked for a three-month extension of government control as a "CYA" since they do not have the ability to end the violence:

The French cabinet is to ask parliament to extend a state of emergency aimed at tackling unrest in impoverished suburbs by three months.

The laws, which allow local councils to impose curfews and ban gatherings, were introduced last Wednesday for 12 days.

Parliament is expected to approve an extension of the laws, which officials say have helped curb the rioting. There were scattered incidents overnight.

Ok. So, they are hoping that violence will get reduced but what isn't being discussed is that the Muslims want to be able to introduce sharia law in light of their recent but long winded violence. But it is interesting to note that no were no deaths (albeit one) and very little injuries with the violence aimed exclusively on property damage. Compare that to the Rodney King riot of L.A. which caused 53 deaths murders and at least 1200 violent injuries. All this violence in France has the earmark of wanting control so they can have control of their Muslim brethens, their culture, their sharia laws and, of course,.....France.

When they come to France to live and work, they don't want French culture, learn the history, the language or it's people. France isn't considered as a "melting pot" like America. They want to interject Muslim history, Arabic, and the Islamic religion...forcefully so...someday upon French citizens. Is France that stupid?

Probably so.

Karate Master

Here's a video clip of a Japanese troupe in a game show who performed this really funny and creative skit called "Karate Master." Click on the link. You'll enjoy it, I'm sure of it. Even deaf people can enjoy this one! Notice the "men in black" in the background? Look carefully.

Terrorist Friench Fries' Violence Gets Support of French Anti-Racism Group, SOS-Racisme

The French government is trying it's best (hardly) to control and quarantine the spread of violence exacerbated by terrorist French Fries by ordering a 12-day state of emergency that went into effect Wednesday. Foreigners caught and convicted are to be deported as well. But.....

A French anti-racism group, SOS-Racisme, called the measure illegal. The group's president said he had asked France's highest administrative body, the Council of State, to intervene.

"Nicolas Sarkozy's proposal is illegal," Dominique Sopo said.

SOS-Racisme said it considers Sarkozy's measure a mass deportation, while French law requires that each expulsion be studied on a case-by-case basis. The body has 48 hours to respond.

Wouldn't mass deportation of foreigners (note the word "foreigners"?) be better than getting shot at? But even the French police wouldn't dare use guns to try and quell the violence. Nooooo, they wouldn't dare! But many of these terrorist French Fries are foreigners, no? And not French citizens? What's wrong with mass deportation? They're unruly guests in France, are they not? All they have are French identity cards and nothing about being automatic French nationals or French citizens. Correct me if I'm wrong on this one.

Officials say that violence in France has "diminished" somewhat on their 14th day of continuous violence but it has spread over to Belgium, France's next door neighbor, and in Germany. How can it be "diminished" if violence has spread over to another country. Even Germany is trying to figure out how to address their immigration policy so as not to repeat France's own dismal socialism experiment with their "let's ignore them as long as possible" immigration policy.

Not...working...dudes.

"Burn in Hell, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi!"

"Burn in hell, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi!"

Guess who said that? Americans? Jews? Catholics? No. It was none other than a very large protest group of Jordanians protesting the latest suicide bombings at three of the Jordanian hotels that killed at least 56 and injuring hundreds.

The Amman protest was organized by Jordan's 14 professional and trade unions — made up of both hard-line Islamic groups and leftist political organizations — traditionally a vocal critic of King Abdullah II's moderate and pro-Western policies.

Protesters — including women and children — gathered outside a bombed hotels, shouting, "Death to al-Zarqawi, the villain and the traitor!" Drivers honked the horns of vehicles decorated with Jordanian flags and posters of the king. A helicopter hovered overhead.

Killing your own Muslims isn't going to help the terrorist causes. It'll simply backfire on them by alienating them where they'll just go after you instead. Just like it did today with the bombing of a Bagdad cafe killing at least 33 Iraqis, several of them Iraqi police officers, but no Americans.

"I went out to see the restaurant heavily damaged. There was bodies, mostly civilians, and blood everywhere inside the place. This is a criminal act that only targeted and hurt innocent people having their breakfast," she said. There were no Americans in the area, she said. "I do not understand why most of the time it is the Iraqis who are killed," she said.

Indeed. Uneducated, dumb, Islamic terrorist nutballs. May they be buried in pigskins.

UPDATE: Now he is saying that he's "sorry." Oops, didn't mean to kill Jordanians when most of the people inhabiting the hotels were, in fact, Jordanians. But at the same time he continued to show more idiocy when he threatened the King of Jordan by citing examples of "offing" the head.

"Here is another message to the little tyrant of Jordan. I address you after you threatened a nasty fate for those behind the blasts. Listen to these words," he said, before relating the tale of Abu Jahl, who Muslim lore says lost his head in battle.

I think the wannabe tyrant is Zarqawi. But the family members of al-Zarqawi is backing the King of Jordan, and not the wannabe tyrant terrorist murderer.

In Jordan, family members of Jordanian-born al-Qaida in Iraq chief Abu Musab al-Zarqawi renounced the terror leader, whose group claimed responsibility for Nov. 9 suicide attacks on three Amman hotels that killed 59 other people. The family of al-Zarqawi, whose real name is Ahmed Fadheel Nazzal al-Khalayleh, reiterated their strong allegiance to Jordan's King Abdullah II in half-page advertisements in the kingdom's three main newspapers. Al-Zarqawi threatened to kill the king in an audiotape released Friday.

One of two things, either the family members are truly renouncing the terror leader or they are renouncing it just to save their skins because of their association to al-Zarqawi because they are living in Jordan in the country where the attacks took place. But either way it's good to see family members renouncing al-Zarqawi.

Le Pen Mightier Than The Sword - Frying Terrorist French Fries

Looks like the National Front Party is getting lots of new members because of the recent riots in France caused by none other than terrorist French Fries. French far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen wants to strip those terrorist French Fries of their nationality and send them back to their country of origin.

Reminded that the vast majority of youths taking part in the arson and rioting are French, born in France to immigrant parents, he said: "What does that mean? Are they French because they have a French identity card?" French nationality should be given only to those who ask for it and "who are worthy of it," he said. "Those who got nationality automatically, who don't consider themselves French and who even say publicly that they consider France their enemy should not be treated as French."

Le Pen said he is convinced that what he described as a surge in support for his "zero immigration" platform would translate into votes at the ballot box for his National Front party. French voters "are saying to themselves 'Le Pen was right. We were told that Le Pen is an extremist because he said that immigration problems would lead to disorder. The facts have shown that he was right,'" he said.

Won't he get fined for that?

Le Pen wasn't the only one who said that overflowing Muslim immigrants would lead to disorder. Bridgette Bardot said a similar thing in 1996, and tried it again in 2004 but got fined for talking about the "Islamization of France" in her book “A Scream in the Silence,” an outspoken attack on gays, immigrants and the jobless that shocked France last year. France is not exactly a place for freedom of speech, even if it means reading comments that you may not agree on. If people want to be stupid, they have a right to be but, alas, France is not America.

More here and here and here on Bardot and the "Islamization of France."

If it's any frying to be done, it's for the terrorist French Fries.

When "Freedom Fries" Bite Back at France

France is feeling a bit ashamed. Boo hoo. They have no one to blame except themselves for the riots and their failed socialism experiment.

In tones ranging from outrage to rueful agreement, French media are now reporting daily on the harsh terms that foreign television stations and newspapers choose to describe the unrest among France's angry youths of Arab and African origin. France laughed off "freedom fries" -- as French fries were renamed in Washington -- and other anti-French sentiment in the United States at the start of the Iraq war in 2003, but its reaction to the riot reporting carries a between-the-lines admission of hurt pride. "From Italy to South Africa, Poland to China, from CNN to al-Jazeera, the newspaper headlines and television commentaries set against a background of blazing cars are really hyping it up," the popular daily Le Parisien complained.

The Foreign Ministry has criticised some foreign reports as excessive and at least one cabinet member, Labour Minister Jean-Louis Borloo, has hinted the critical reporting was meant to hit back at France for opposing the U.S.-led Iraq war.

French media have run hard-hitting reports on the riots, just as they have been very critical of social or racial problems abroad. But seeing equally tough reporting about their own country seems to have caught the French off guard.

Eric Raoult, mayor of the eastern Paris suburb of Raincy, did not like being at the receiving end of outside attention.

"Last night, Japanese television and Turkish television were in my city hall telling me what should be done. That hurts me," he said.

Uh, hey, Frenchie people, do you not realize that the MSM, the exempt media, are your best friends when it comes to the Iraq war?

Islamization of France - A Descent into Hell, Part III

There are about 5 to 6 million Muslims (many of them immigrants) living in France. The population of France is about 60 million which means that nearly 10% of that population is Muslim. There are about 1500 mosques in France but compare that to the United States there are less than 900. The size of France (~550,000 km square) is slightly smaller than Texas (~700,000 km square). Now, imagine 1500 mosques peppered throughout Texas. That is one mosque per 466 km square or a mosque every 21 km (13 miles) from every direction in Texas. But one startling fact is that the government of France does not keep statistics on on religious affiliation. Maybe it's time that France does keep tabs on religious growth, especially Muslims who claim that their religion is a religion of peace?

Even people blogging in Australia are already wary of Islamic intrusions into their daily lives. And how come the MSM isn't picking up reports of shootings of a police officer in Australia by suspected Muslim terrorist after he left a mosque? And this was on the same day when 17 suspected terrorists were arrested? Read the Aussie News and Views for constant update on this "religion of peace" in Australia. Good blogging.

And Muslims are crying foul on the increase of hate crimes in Australia perpetuated against them. Perhaps none of this would have happened had they been a bit more vocal against terrorist acts by Islamic fanactics? When was the last time you've seen this denunciation by Muslims everywhere for terrorist acts and vocally shunning Islamic nutballs?

See what I mean? Brigette Bardot, a non-Muslim, tried to do that but got fined instead for expressing her opinions.

Now, if France is the European model of what will happen when you have too much of a good thing, then certainly countries like the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States will make sure that such incidents will not happen in their country when you try and mix socialism and overflowing immigration problems. Gives a whole new meaning to the words "morally bankrupt."

When Criticizing Terrorist French Fries Can Get You Fined

Even back in 1997 there were a few instances of Muslims going on about rioting.

VITROLLES, France (AP) -- A group angered by the election of a far-right mayor set fire to cars and broke windows in a late-night rampage, prompting police to step up patrols today in this southern French town. Catherine Megret of the anti-immigrant National Front was elected mayor of Vitrolles on Sunday, despite a united effort by the governing conservatives and opposition Socialists to defeat her. The National Front, often accused of racism and anti-Semitism, blames North African immigrants for France's postwar record 12.7 percent unemployment. About 30 young men from Vitrolles' immigrant neighborhoods rioted briefly near the city center just before 10 p.m. Monday. Police arrested 10 men found to be carrying knives. Several of the men, of North African origin or descent, said they would organize a protest march against the Front later today.With the election, the National Front now controls four French city halls: Vitrolles, Toulon, Orange and Marignane -- all mid-sized southern cities with large immigrant populations -- but it holds no seats in the French parliament. [AP-NY-02-11-97]

Exactly what is the history of France's Muslim mini-riots over the years until it finally exploded 12 days ago?

Also, back in 1996, a year earlier, France's famous Brigitte Bardot knew about the dangers of an over-flowing Muslim population in France and went so far to declare that she may be forced to emigrate (that is, leave the country) in a column in the conservative newspaper Le Figaro in pursuit of her long campaign against the Muslim ritual slaughter of sheep. Upon saying that French anti-racist group (why am I not surprise there is such a group?) threatened to take her to court because of her comments were seen as "racist" rather than a factual truth.

"And now my country, France, my homeland, my land, is with the blessing of successive governments again invaded by a foreign, especially Muslim, over-population to which we pay allegiance,'' she wrote. "We have to submit against our will to this Muslim overflow. From year to year, we see mosques flourish across France, while our churchbells fall silent because of a lack of priests,'" added Bardot, who is married to a supporter of the extreme-right National Front which campaigns on an anti-immigrant platform. "Could I be forced in the near future to flee my country which has turned into a bloody and violent country, to turn expatriate, to try and find elsewhere, by myself becoming an emigrant, the respect and esteem which we are alas refused daily?."

The Movement against Racism and for Friendship among Peoples (MRAP) called her statement "genuine incitement to racial hatred,'" an offence under French law. "We have a right to wonder if this woman animal defender could be ill, not with the 'mad cow' disease, but with the lethal disease that is called racism,'' it said. It said it was considering taking her to court. [(1996) Reuters]

And, oh, what happened to Bardot last year?

A number of U.S.-based organizations believe the time is ripe to stand against the spread of religious vilification laws in the West. The Australian states of Queensland and Tasmania have adopted laws similar to Victoria’s Racial and Religious Tolerance ActA religious vilification law is in force in Sweden, and such legislation is being considered in Britain. Further, it isn't uncommon in Europe for people to be taken to court for criticizing Islam. In France, actress Bridgette Bardot was fined last year for lamenting the "Islamization of France" and the "underground and dangerous infiltration of Islam." Italian author Oriana Fallaci faces trial next year over charges that she defamed Islam in her book The Force of Reason.

So much for speaking one's mind in France. I think the country is paying heavily for ignoring such pleas from their own French citizens who were smart enough to recognize the dangers years ahead. It also serve as a warning for the U.S. that we should NOT take the route of France, Britain, Australia and other European countries when it comes to legislating religious correctness. We've seen the results in France. No thank you. I like my freedom of speech here in the United States.

BTW, will France surrender to terrorist French Fries?

Terrorist French Fries in Paris

Remember Freedom Fries? And now we have Muslims running the streets of Paris burning everything in sight. Terrorizing, injuring and killing people (1 so far) that have spread to over 300 towns in France. Over half of the 1200 arrested were juveniles of mostly the Muslim variety, I suppose, while leaders of France fiddled while France burns. And finally it took a French cabinet to allow (almost) mayors to issue curfews in their own towns.....on the 12th day of rioting. Talk about expediency of emergency powers over to mayors.

These are not simply terrorist hoodlums running amok the streets of Paris and cities elsewhere. These are terrorist French Fries ("small fries") when most of them are juveniles or Muslim youths bent on making as much mayhem and destruction as possible. So, from now on, little French terrorists who are bent on destruction and mayhem in France are now called "Terrorist French Fries."

Oh, by the way, this rioting has happened before in France but on a much, much smaller scale in years past by Muslims taking to the streets with knives and weapons. Even famous French people got fined for criticizing the massive overflowing Muslim immigration problem in France. And now, see what happens when you don't tackle the problem in the first place?

New York Times Choosen Sins of Omission

Is it any wonder that The New York Times continues with their leftist agenda by writing up semi-factual reports? And they have the gall to omit important details from a dead troop's letter to his girlfriend (in the case if he get killed) as reported by Michelle Malkin.

The New York Times has consistently violated their own rules regarding quotes and such in their Guidelines on Integrity (wait...let me laugh for a moment here...ha ha):

Quotations. Readers should be able to assume that every word between quotation marks is what the speaker or writer said. The Times does not “clean up” quotations. If a subject’s grammar or taste is unsuitable, quotation marks should be removed and the awkward passage paraphrased. Unless the writer has detailed notes or a recording, it is usually wise to paraphrase long comments, since they may turn up worded differently on television or in other publications. “Approximate” quotations can undermine readers’ trust in The Times.

The writer should, of course, omit extraneous syllables like “um” and may judiciously delete false starts. If any further omission is necessary, close the quotation, insert new attribution and begin another quotation. (The Times does adjust spelling, punictuation, capitalization and abbreviations within a quotation for consistent style.) Detailed guidance is in the stylebook entry headed “quotations.” In every case, writer and editor must both be satisfied that the intent of the subject has been preserved.

In retrospect, is The Times saying that both writer and editor were satisified with the badly cropped quotation of Cpl. Jeffrey B. Starr making as if he regretted going to Iraq? Why did NY Times leave out the most important quote at the end of his letter that summarized his whole feeling about fighting in Iraq so Iraqis could have their taste of freedom? This is the part that The New York Times purposely and wantonly omitted in their article:

"I don't regret going, everybody dies but few get to do it for something as important as freedom. It may seem confusing why we are in Iraq, it's not to me. I'm here helping these people, so that they can live the way we live. Not have to worry about tyrants or vicious dictators. To do what they want with their lives. To me that is why I died. Others have died for my freedom, now this is my mark. To do what they want with their lives."

Now, how come The Times isn't following their "Guidelines on Integrity"? It's ironic to read what The Times has to say at the beginning of their "Guidelines on Integrity" when it comes to tolerating on bad reporting/writing.

At a time of growing and even justified public suspicion about the impartiality, accuracy and integrity of some journalists and some journalism, it is imperative that The Times and its staff maintain the highest possible standards to insure that we do nothing that might erode readers’ faith and confidence in our news columns. This means that staff members should be vigilant in avoiding any activity that might pose an actual or apparent conflict of interest and thus threaten the newspaper’s ethical standing. And it also means that the journalism we practice daily must be beyond reproach.

No one needs to be reminded that falsifying any part of a news report cannot be tolerated and will result automatically in disciplinary action up to and including termination. But in a climate of increased scrutiny throughout the news business, these further guidelines are offered, to resolve questions that sometimes arise about specific practices:

A little late on staff's conflict of interest when it comes to writing. And yet they wonder why readerships have gone down. Perhaps a sign of a trend?

Read the rest of The New York Times "Guidelines on Integrity," it's a hoot.

Two Gallaudet Students Injured During Robbery

Are they nuts or what? Two Gallaudet University students walking alone together, at night, outside the campus in Washington D.C. ? And they get held up at gunpoint? I thought they were superbly visually oriented and are aware of their surroundings? Apparently not. These guys got off lucky with injuries from a grazed bullet and a cut to the forehead. Of course, Gallaudet University students are not the only one facing this problem.

Here's an advice for Gallaudet students venturing outside of the compounds of Gallaudet University at night:

Go out with a large group! Like, oh say, 7, 8 or 9 people. Or at least take your car next time. I was never so dumb to do a thing like that when I was a student at Gallaudet University by going out virtually alone at night...walking in the dark, completely deaf to the situation, literally so!

Safety in numbers, folks. Or take a car next time. This piece of advice could save your life next time.

As I Have Said Before..........

I have pointed out before on a few occasions that when an HIV-infected person who purposely infect others without their knowledge ought to be shot. No need to follow up on this again.

Please, people, read carefully my blogs next time on where I stand. Else you'd make yourself looking like a complete fool making these false premises about me and/or throw false accusations toward me. If you're not sure, ask me next time. Maybe a simple "yes" or "no" response might enough for you to understand with your limited capacity to think critically, of course, just to save yourself the embarrassment next time.

When a "Marine" Lies about Atrocities in Iraq

For more than a year, former Marine Staff Sgt. Jimmy Massey has been telling anybody who will listen about the atrocities that he and other Marines committed in Iraq but as it turns out the atrocity story turned out to be false, even by his own admission. But the other irresponsible thing is that the MSM ran with this story without checking it for its veracity or see that it is corroborated with other eye-witnesses about the so-called atrocities claimed by Massey. MSM like USAToday and other presses were quick to swallow Massey's lies. Ron Harris of the Post-Dispatch Washington Bureau ask this question in his article, "Why did the press swallow Massey's stories?"

The Associated Press, which serves more than 8,500 newspaper, radio and television stations worldwide, wrote three stories about Massey, including an interview with him in October about his new book.

But none of the AP reporters ever called Ravi Nessman, an Associated Press reporter who was embedded with Massey's unit. Nessman wrote more than 30 stories about the unit from the beginning of the war until April 15, after Baghdad had fallen.

Jack Stokes, a spokesman for the AP, said he didn't know why the reporters didn't talk to Nessman, nor could he explain why the AP ran stories without seeking a response from the Marine Corps. The organization (AP) also refused to allow Nessman to be interviewed for this story.

This guy, Jimmy Massey, ought to be put into jail. Anybody who lies like that ought to be put into the brig because he purposely tried to undermine operations in Iraq by falsifying events in Iraq just so he could sell his book, "Kill, Kill, Kill" in France. Just like Michael Moore, he'll say anything to make a buck. And they say they're against capitalism? A big "HA!" on that part since they practice it anyway.

Michelle Malkin says that this Massey story has legs. More stories about this will be forthcoming. Anybody in the Armed Forces whether a Marine, Air Force, Army or whatever, commits a crime, they deserve to get a fair trial but upon being found guilty, they go into the brig.

Now, will liberals get up and shame Massey for lying and shame the MSM for running with a story without any fact finding follow ups first? Seriously, do you really, really....really think liberals will do that? Maybe they'll blame eeeeeevil Karl Rove for masterminding this one here? Of course, what else would people expect?

Truths should be sought out, even if it's about atrocities committed by Armed Forces and they need to be told...honestly and correctly. But what Massey exemplified wasn't anything about the business of "Semper Fi" but about greed, resentment, and wanting the recognition. We get fake stories about the Koran in the toilet at Gitmo, Jimmy Massey's false stories of atrocities committed by Marine troops in Iraq and so on.

Once again the MSM failed miserably in following up Massey's claims as what all good journalists are supposed to do. But because of their left-leaning agenda, they choose instead to run with the story and lose more credibility than ever as a news organization.

Lying Liberals - the Greatest Hypocrisy of the Left?

There is this new book by Peter Schweitzer called "Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy" that is hitting the bookshelves across America. It's a little different when well known and famous liberals walk around saying "you should do this" or "you should do that" but do they walk the walk? Not really in a lot of the cases. This book shows exactly that which explains the title. In comparison to Al Franken's own books (which in one case he didn't really write the book himself), Peter Schweitzer does not dispense these information with dripping venom but lays out the facts. Just the facts' ma'am.

Next, we all know that Michael Moore is completely obsessed with money. Michael Moore is a living, breathing, walking paradox, even to his own movies he produced. He's a multi-millionaire who boasts of wealth as proving his value

"I'm a millionaire, I'm a multi-millionaire. I'm filthy rich. You know why I'm a multi-millionaire? 'Cause multi-millions like what I do. That's pretty good, isn't it?"

And when people boast about wealth, we're bound to see some hypocrisy buried in there some where by their own actions. Michael Moore is not the common man fighting for all common man. He represents one of liberals' highest form of a walking-hypocrisy that's dirtier than, uh, Clinton's used underwear.

Lopez: Um and the Clinton's underwear? Though the Clinton's claiming $4 per pair of used underwear among their charitable contributions does seem like it is begging for a New York Post cover.

I suppose there was not blue dresses. Something like that would make a lot more on ebay.

Schweizer: Ah, yes, the Clintons, who profess to pay the maximum amount on their taxes every year because it's the right thing to do. The Clintons are simply amazing in their ability to lecture Americans about their need to pay more taxes while at the same time finding lucrative tax shelters and taking outrageous tax deductions. Again, the media gives them a free pass.

Lopez: What else about the Clintons do you want to hand over to RNC op research before 2008?

Schweizer: I think their record of greed, jilting poor people out of their money, and their avarice are a sight to behold. Let people see how they have made their money over the last couple of decades and it speaks for itself.

Oh, before you get the notion that the author got all the information by dumpster diving, he obtained these valuable and enlightening information legally and ethically.

And then we have the great, immutable, mostly lying and clueless un-funny man Al Franken himself to look up to as a moral example. What would you say if somebody made an outrageous comment about disliking homosexuals and was glad that one had been killed? Would Al ever say that? He sure did according to one quiz I've linked below.

And now, a little fun. Go and take a quiz just to see how much you know about these liberal friends of yours. The answers may surprise you...... if you're a Liberal. When it comes to ideas the liberal/Left exhibits mostly failures. No wonder they're bankrupt on ideology. Is it any wonder that the MSM give the Liberals a pass when it comes to hypocrisy?

Al Franken - "Irony is a form of humor that some people just don't get."

Yeah, Al. Even you don't even get it yourself when you're exposed like a naked idiot. Love the irony, though, on what just happened here.

The Other Iraq - the Untold Story

Here is exactly why the MSM do not want to cover this "other Iraq" known as Kurdistan which is located in the northern territory of Iraq. Why the purpose ignoring of the exempt media (for those who do not know what that means, it means the mainstream media (ABC, cBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, BBC, NYTimes, Boston Globe, SF Times, Le Monde....). Any media who think they are above anyone else by not retracting, apologizing or acknowledging their errors in the stories they write or make up stories along the way and practice shoddy journalism. This is what it means to call them the "exempt media" aka MSM.

Now, on to Kurdistan, the "Other Iraq."

The Kurdistan Region in Iraq is a good news story that seldom gets told. With a population of 5 million in an area larger than Switzerland or twice the size of New Jersey, it is surprising that this region remains largely undiscovered and commercially untapped.

Scroll down in the link and you'll see the government of Kurdistan set up a video called "Thank You" where Kurdistanis thank America and Britain for helping Iraq obtain her freedom and work toward a better democracy for their people.

Voice Over NARRATOR:
Saddam’s goal was to bury every living Kurd…
He failed.

KURD CITIZENS:
“Thank you.”
“Thank you, Great Britain.”
“Thank you.”

Voice Over NARRATOR:
The Kurds of Iraqi Kurdistan just want to say ‘thank you’…
for helping us win our freedom.

KURD CITIZENS:
“Thank you, Great Britain.”
“Thank you for democracy.”
“Thank you.”
ENDS

Freedom could only be made possible with America helping out. We take for granted our freedom but there are people here in America who refuse to help other country obtain their freedom by constantly casting a negative light on Iraq and by constantly smearing U.S. troops with false stories and negative ads. You know who those people are. In fact, you may be one of them reading this. You don't want to share your freedom? Well, most of us do anyway.

Here's another video on "Share the Dream," Choose either "small" or "medium" video length unless you have a high speed connection and a large enough memory cache for the biggest streaming video "T1" connection.

Voice Over NARRATOR:
Have you seen the other Iraq?
It’s spectacular…
It’s joyful…
With a security force so experienced less than two hundred coalition troops are stationed
there.
It’s where Arabs, Kurds and westerners all vacation together in peace.
Welcome to Iraqi Kurdistan!
It’s been practicing democracy for over a decade.
It’s not a dream.
It’s the ‘other’ Iraq.
ENDS

A good example in this next video shows what a true Democracy in action is like and how a country can achieve peaceful and successful results benefiting everyone. And how business opportunities and the future of Kurdistan remain largely untapped.

Voice Over NARRATOR:
In the Kurdistan region of Iraq investors aren’t just building an airport…
AIRPORT MANAGER:
“We are building a democracy.”

Voice Over NARRATOR:
They’re not just installing hospital labs…

LAB TECHNICIAN:
“We are building hope.”

Voice Over NARRATOR:
They’re not just planting a forest…
REFORESTATION WORKER:
We are planting a future.”

Voice Over NARRATOR:
Come see what’s happening in the ‘other’ Iraq…Iraqi Kurdistan.
See the promise.
KURDISH HERO GIRL:
Share the dream.

Share the dream. With the rest of Iraq starting to catch up will they have amodel they can look up to, Kurdistan. It's not a dream, it's a working reality. Some of you reading this are probably discovering Kurdistan for the first time and don't realize how peaceful that area of the country is compared to the rest of Iraq. Here's a link to the same website that gives you a video of who these people of Kurdistan are like up close and how Saddam tried to wipe them out. Kurdistan is certainly not a place where they have shroud covered women walking the streets or stores nowadays. These are very modern people by todays standards. And Kurdistan people are very tolerant people where Christianity, Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim religion share the same region for many generations. If you want a truly tolerant Iraq, visit Kurdistan.

How come MSM do not cover this "other Iraq"? The MSM focus mostly on death and destruction and never about the constant construction, the rebuilding of infrastructure, improving hospital conditions, more medicine, more food, constant improvements, a contantly growing and better Iraqi army and police force, better informed Iraqis to make an informed decision, greater freedom, and a democracy they never had where their one voice, one vote actually does count.

Now, go watch the videos! And let people know about the "Other Iraq."

The Islamization of France - A Descent into Hell, part II

Michelle Malkin has the scoop on bloggers reporting on France’s descent in hell with the sheer force of Islamization by reckless and hell bent Muslim youths.

France’s own riot has some parallel with our own L.A. riot that occurred in 1992 that resulted in over 150 fires raged in the city of Los Angeles. Some 53 deaths were reported as well as over 1200 injured, and more than 3000 arrested

Although no deaths were reported so far as a result of the ongoing rioting but injuries continue to mount. Some of them were horrific in nature caused by Muslim thugs preying on disabled people.

Just like the LA riot, the rioting didn’t end and stop where it originated. It went beyond the boundary of the city.

As the senseless violence reached it's peak in Los Angeles on Thursday night, reports began to be received that it had spread to other cities and states across the country.

1. In Northern California, 1,400 people were arrested in San Francisco as rioting engulfed the city's downtown area. A State of Emergency was declared there and a curfew established.

2. In Los Vegas, a mob of two-hundred (200) people went on a rampage, setting fires, and engaged in sniper fire and drive-by shootings. Local law enforcement officials admitted that they were overwhelmed and requested the activation of the Nevada National Guard. The Governor complied and control has reportedly been somewhat re- established. Reports were received of several arson fires.

(3.) Seattle was struck by mobs of 50-100 people, who randomly broke windows and and looted numerous cars in downtown Seattle during the night Thursday and early Friday. Police say that forty-five (45) people were arrested and five (5) injuried during the violent spree. Firefighters responded to twenty-eight (28) fire calls during the unrest, including five (5) buildings that were termed "suspicious in nature".

(4.) Further East, Black protestors in New York City reportedly pulled two white men from a truck, stabbed one and beat the other. An estimated two-hundred (200) protestors attacked the doors at Madison Square Gardens causing injuries and property damage. Another crowd of four-hundred (400) black youths reportedly stormed a popular shopping mall and smashed windows and stole merchandise. Shops and businesses were damaged as the "melee" traveled over several blocks. As many as eighty (80) arrests were made and several police officers injuried. Many NYC employers were said to have released workers from work early to avoid further occurrences.

(5.) Police in Atlanta, GA were confronted on Friday, by hundreds of black protestors. This followed a night of three-hundred (300) arrests and fifty-seven (57) injuries. It also prompted the use of teargas and a call for the Georgia National Guard to help combat large crowds of people looting and throwing rocks and bricks. Mayor Maynard Jackson called for calm and understanding, as he counseled college students that had originally begun peaceful protests which escalated into wide-spread violence.

Sporadic acts of violence, arson, and property damage were also associated with the Los Angeles Riots in such cities as Tampa, FL, Pittsburg, PA, Birmingham, MS, Omaha, NE, and several other locations.

Muslim men and youths in France no longer have a “master” (ie. Imam) to report to when violence and gang life are a part of their lives. They lived wherever they wished among the large concentrated Muslim parts of French towns. These “masterless” Muslim men and boys join Muslim gangs as a source of their distraction from years of being ignored by the French government offering them no hope. They use their violence on other people, including the raping of young Muslim girls.

Currently, 6 million people of Muslim descent are living in France. cBS explains more on what caused the volatility in France’s riot:

Crux of the Problem: It is currently estimated that 40 percent of the French population descends from these different waves of migrations, making France the most ethnically diverse country in Europe. Nevertheless, the immigrants from other European countries have had an easier time blending in (race and religion being key), while the "non-European" groups have tended to assimilate at a slower pace.

Difficult Integration: Because of the difficulty integrating into French society, many young males of African and Arab descent work for the lowest wages and often live in ghettos where crime is rampant.

"Western Europe society has not managed to integrate second- or third-generation immigrants," said Scott Atran, Director of Research at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and professor of psychology at the University of Michigan.

France has a chronic problem of not knowing how to shrug off the "ossified economic and political structure" that rules the country, he added.

Religion: Roman Catholic - 83 to 88 percent; Protestant - 2 percent; Jewish - 1 percent ; Muslim - 5 to 10 percent.

Unemployment rate: 10.1 percent.

Unemployment in the Paris "immigrant ghettos": 20 to 40 percent, according to varying sources.

Riots: The unrest began after two North-African youths, Bouna Traore, aged 15, and Zyed Benna, 17, were accidentally electrocuted at an electricity sub-station in Clichy-sous-Bois. Protesting by burning cars is not uncommon in the immigrant-populated suburbs, but this marks the worst civil disobedience in the last decade.

Rioters: Bands of 10 to 15 youths, some as young as 12 years old.

Riot Epicenter: Seine-Saint-Denis is northeast of Paris identified as the "93 departement." Hot zones within the departement include Aulnay-sous-Bois, Clichy-sous-Bois, Bobigny, La Courneuve.

Copycat Riots: The rock-throwing, torching of cars and other acts of vandalism have spread to other immigrant ghettos in the ring around Paris but have not yet occurred in the city's center.

Protesters have used the internet to get other cities to join the fight, with the ultimate goal of making the evening newscast, according to French newspaper, Le Figaro. There has been mild trouble reported in other cities, including Marseilles, Dijon and Perpignan.

Policing: A lot of these "ghetto" suburbs lack security and policing. Gangs, running the suburbs, have slowly pushed out police presence. In Seine-Saint-Denis, security personnel have fallen from 468 in 2000 to 205 now, according to Le Monde.

Housing Shortage: As in many cities around the world, Paris rents have gone through the roof. As a result, many people have been forced to move out or shack up in dilapitated buildings. Last year more than 100,000 people competed for 12,000 available subsidized housing units in Paris, according to official figures. Among the hardest-hit without housing are immigrants (legal and illegal.) The three back-to-back Paris fires over the spring and summer, which killed many children, occurred in such rundown buildings.

Political Backdrop: A week before the riots began, the interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy vowed a "merciless war" on suburban violence, and when the troubles started, he called the rioters "hoodlums." The rioting has become embroiled in the political succession war on the right between the prime minister, Dominique de Villepin, and Sarkozy, ahead of the 2007 presidential elections.

One thing tho, the United States does not have a “housing shortage.” The rest of the world might, but not the United States. We're not that dire as CBS would like for you to believe. And also what cBS doesn't tell you is that French police do not go in any of the 4 subburbs (small nearby "cities") out of 20 subburbs of Paris where Muslim crimes are mostly intense. The cops never go into these areas to stop any of the crime for years. No wonder these Muslim gangs go unopposed in their daily crime sprees.

And what of France’s unemployment rate of 10.1 percent?:

France's generous jobless benefits, about three times those of the US and Britain, help explain its 10.1 per cent unemployment rate — double the rates in those countries. The benefits are among a set of labour policies that may pose the biggest obstacle to President Jacques Chirac's efforts to rekindle the economy and restore his tattered popularity.

This is where France's own grand socialism experiment begins to tear and tatter under the strain of Muslim immigrants wanting a better life. The French government ignored them for decades. So what France is looking at is their own descent into hell and realizing that it has now just begun.

The Islamization of France - A Descent into Hell

Social unrest by Muslims continues to plague France whose minority makes up almost 10% of France's population. This was a policy of France who tried to be the "good" country by letting immigrants in on a grand social scale and not realize the traps they were setting themselves up until it became almost too late.

The violence also cast doubt on the success of France's model of seeking to integrate its large immigrant community — its Muslim population, at an estimated 5 million, is Western Europe's largest — by playing down differences between ethnic groups. Rather than feeling embraced as full and equal citizens, immigrants and their French-born children complain of police harassment and of being refused jobs, housing and opportunities.

Opposition groups accused the government of letting the situation spiral out of control, either by failing to act quickly enough or letting in too many immigrants over the years.

"We see that the situation in certain neighborhoods is not getting better at all but degenerating," Socialist Party President Jean-Marc Ayrault told LCI television, who said Chirac's conservatives "did not know how to take control."

Right-wing French lawmaker Philippe de Villiers, who has said he wants to "stop the Islamization of France," told RTL radio that the problem stemmed from the "failure of a policy of massive and uncontrolled immigration."

Minister of Social Cohesion Jean-Louis Borloo said the government had to react "firmly" but added that France must also acknowledge its failure to have dealt with anger simmering in poor suburbs for decades.

"We cannot hide the truth: that for 30 years we have not done enough," he told France-2 television.

Indeed. You cannot hide from the fact that you have 5 million Muslims living in France (547,000 km square) which is 18 times smaller in geographic size than the United States who are living among 55 million Frenchies. Or to put into proper perspective, you have France which is somewhat smaller than the state of Texas (696,000 km square with 22,000,000 people). Ignore the minorities long enough in such a small area, there will be social unrest. Only this time instead of trial by fire, it'll be trial by religion, namely Islam, when Muslim moderates and fanatics are bent on wanting to take over France and institute control over laws regarding religion and the practices of it to their benefits. The problem is, France does not realize that. Until, that is, today they are realizing the stark possibility of what they are dealing with. Or at least in the back of their minds, that is.

Will the United States bail out France again 10 years down the road? Only time will tell since Europe has seen the history of having these "tipping points" where wars were waged because of dangerous ideologies. One was about the ideology of one race...white and German. The next one will be about a one Islamic race.

Just watch.

When Judicial Activism Supports Explicit Sex Surveys for 1st Graders

Here we have the notoriously liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled this week that parents do not have exclusive rights over their children when it comes to providing sexual education according to a three-judge panel who dismissed the case, saying.

"There is no fundamental right of parents to be the exclusive provider of information regarding sexual matters to their children...Parents have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the information to which their children will be exposed while enrolled as students."

The 9th Circuit dismissed this case which was brought on by California parents who were “outraged over a sex survey given to public school students in the first, third and fifth grades.” This allowance was the result of former Gov. Gray Davis who signed the controversial sex-ed bill.

This is where judges lose the whole concept on the meaning of what parents are about when it comes to caring for their children and how to raise them. Not the school, the state or the government unless there is some horrible abuse involved. California's 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is famous for their judicial activism, including the "Under God" decision.

According to the report:

The parents argued that they — not the public schools — have the sole right “to control the upbringing of their children by introducing them to matters of and relating to sex.”

Indeed they do have the right to object and schools should seek parents permission on such matters, especially sex education, which is NOT the school's sole area of responsibility. It's the parents. The school need to seek permission first and nothing else. Here's a typical example of what happened in one high school of Fairfax County of how far the school should (or should not) go:

A survey scheduled for distribution to a group of Fairfax County high school students in April has drawn criticism from some area parents. They feel that some of the questions about sexuality are inappropriate. They are upset by questions such as "How old were you when you first had sex?" and "The last time you had sexual intercourse, what one method did you or your partner use to prevent pregnancy?" One parent complained saying, "Some of these questions are asked in such a way that they give tacit approval to some of these behaviors. Kids will read these questions and think if they're not engaging in this, 'What's wrong with me?' This is so tacky, it makes me squeamish.

But this story here is different. It was a sex survey for 1st, 3rd and 5th graders. Excuse me? They are all under 10 years old! Totally inappropriate. And without the parents' permission, too. And the survey asked totally inappropriate and, even for us who are of age applicably so, completely personal questions. Questions like if they ever thought about having sex or touching other people's "private parts" and whether they could "stop thinking about having sex."

In one report "Sexuality Education in the Elementary School" in New Jersey gives an example of forcing questions upon kindergarteners and up.

In the earliest grades, kindergarten through third, when teachers simply say, "We’re going to be talking about family life and sex, about being a male or female, a boy or a girl," young children eagerly call out their questions. They sense they have been given permission by a nonjudgmental teacher and are relatively free of the embarrassment and self-consciousness that is more evident by the fifth and sixth grades.

Permission? By whom? The parents? Non-judgemental teacher?? Do teachers even have the right to discuss these things without having consent of the parents? So much for being "non-judgemental."

No where in that Sexuality Education report states about the importance of asking parents for permission to do these things. Schools in my area do, in fact, ask permission from parents to have sex education discourses or classes for middle school students. Sex surveys is another way of trying to get around from seeking permission first when it's not a sex ed class at all.

Schools and courts have gradually unsurped parental controls regarding their concerns over how education is done for their children at their schools. Not only that, many schools are going down the drain and are becoming more and more irresponsible in educating students.

Judicial activism doesn't mean per se from a liberal judge, it can either be a liberal or conservative judge. The proper approach and right approach for any judges is to examine the law as it is written. Not change the Constitution (state or federal) and its written rules.

In order to change the law or amend the Constitution there are mechanisms allowing just for that. Changing the law does not belong in the hand of one judge or a panel of judges. Judicial activism does not belong in America's society.

November 2, 2004 - Presidential Election Date

It's been one year since George W. Bush was re-elected President of the United States for the 2nd time. What were you doing that day? Me? I was laughing my head off as I watched the whole thing on televison at home. At least Kerry was very gracious in his concession speech. But John Edwards' "Heal" speech just made me laughed. Hardly a concession on his part.

Judge for DeLay Case Recuses Himself

Step 1. Remove Democratic Judge from DeLay's case. Done. Check.

A new judge will preside over the conspiracy case against former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, after a motion was granted Tuesday to remove the appointed judge because of his donations to Democrat causes.
.
.
Judges are presumed to be impartial," Reed said.

If (Judge) Perkins was left as the presiding judge, it could create an impression and public perception that he could not be fair, defense attorneys said.

Richard Keeton, an attorney for DeLay, said in closing arguments that too many unanswered questions remain even without putting (Judge) Perkins on the stand to explain his contributions to Democrats.

"We don't have (Judge) Perkins' testimony ... all we have is numbers of donations he made," Keeton said.

Since Perkins avoided (ie. refused) taking the stand to address the motion, "those facts ring loud," Keeton added.

Step 2. Get an impartial Judge.

Step 3. Successfully defend DeLay against a felony charge and win.

Step 3. Sue and charge D.A. Ronnie Earle for "Prosecutorial Misconduct."


And now to this, I keep hearing, again, about D.A. Ronnie Earle's past indictment history that he indicted 12 Democrats and 3 Republicans making him seem to be NOT the partisan guy he is by going after most Democrats in Texas. How little do you know. First off, you really need to know a little bit (a lot really) more about the history of Texas politics.

Now, three parties exist in Texas. Conservative Democrats, Liberal Democrats and Republicans (especially since 1980, you can thank Rove for that....ooooh...evil Rove!). The dominant political group in Texas has been Conservative Democrats for so long you can ask anybody who have lived in Texas for awhile. Texas has always been known as a conservative state...not liberal. That would be Massachusetts. Texas had always been a one party state, liberal Democrats versus conservative Democrats in the past until around the 1990s when Republicans started to make headways in Texas politics.

Remember, Republicans do not really mind working with Conservative Democrats since both of these parties share similar ideologies. In fact, Zell Miller is himself a Conservative Democrat. He was the one who did the famous "Spitball" commentary at the 2004 RNC to re-elect George W. Bush. He even wrote a book called, "National Party No More: The Conscience of a Conservative Democrat." Changes the picture doesn't it?

For as long as anyone can remember in Texas, politics in governement were run by mostly Democrats. And they fought among themselves to get the votes. And they were just as nasty to each other (liberal Democrats vs conservative Democrats) as Democrats versus Republicans. You might as well call many of the conservative Democrats as Republicans. Here's one short history about it.

Take a note here: EARLE PROSECUTED DEMOCRATS AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF STATE GOVERNMENT...and not the little guys. Most of them were conservative Democrats AND Republicans. See below:

Bob Bullock (Conservative Democrat, served 24 years as state comptroller and lieutenant governor), he was a GW Bush campaign consultant who helped GW Bush build a great governorship. Bullock escaped indictment but not Earle's scrutiny.

1994 - Kay Bailey Hutchison, Republican.

1992 - Texas House Speaker, Gib Lewis (Conservative Democrat). Charged with gift-reporting and financial-disclosure violations.

1983 - Attorney General for Texas, Jim Mattox (Conservative Democrat). Attempted to prosecute him for commercial bribery in 1983, only to see the controversial, hard-fought case end in a jury acquittal. It's been known that Jim Mattox was a conservative Democrat and a political enemy of Earle. Mattox was indicted on felony bribery charges. He was acquitted afterwards.

1982 - State Treasurer, Warren G. Harding (Conservative Democrat). Indicted on two felonies for political misuse of office. Pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges. See something different here? "Felony" and a "misdemeanor."

1980 - Sen. Gene Jones (Conservative Democrat). Indicted for official misconduct. Entered plea bargain for misuse of state computer.


Now, look at this picture of Texas voting results from the last presidential election. See that little blue spot in the middle of all that red? That is Travis County. It is liberal, it has been liberal, it will always be liberal. That's where Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle resides. The rest of the state is conservative. Also, in the map, the little blue spots along the Mexico border? All are relatively unpopulated areas.

A big change in party demographics was shifted in the 1990s when there were more Republicans than Democrats. Ronnie Earle's days are numbered until the day he can no longer get the people's confidence of Travis county to keep him as District Attorney of Travis county.

Something to think about. Remember, D.A. Ronnie Earle took 7 separate grand juries in 3 years just to come up an indictment. That's like getting tried for the same crime in a court of law 7 separate times with a different jury each time. Only this time, DeLay cannot defend himself while Ronnie Earle influences his grand jury to give him an indictment. On the 6th try, a bogus indictment came up which shows Earle's ineptitude in court, and then finally 24 hours later convinced coerced a 7th grand jury for an indictment against DeLay.

Liberals....UNHINGED!

Well, I had a few Liberals going unhinged on me, too. Go figure. Just read some of my recent blogs and figure it out. But here is the story, be sure to check out Michelle Malkins blog piece about Liberals going unhinged and her official launch of her new book today, Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild. Also, be sure to look at her two pages worth of very un-DeLay like Liberal mugshots who have gone unhinged and got caught by the police in pre and post November 2004 election in Michelle Malkin's blog.

Will I see more Liberals get unhinged over my blogs? Only time will tell.

Nice timing, Michelle. Unhinged, indeed!

UPDATE: Also, check out Michelle Malkin's 10 Unhinged Celebrities with a short description of their unhinged responses that include Cameron Diaz, Michael Moore, Sean Penn, Julie Stiles, Janeane Garofalo, Chrissie Hynde, Tim Robbins, Martin Sheen, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Cher.

A good short read. A good laugh, too.


UPDATE II: A recap on Ann Coulter's June 2002 editorial piece "Liberals Unhinged" describing exactly what is an unhinged Liberal. When the name calling starts, it's usually the start of their own descent into hell of their own, suffering needlessly and moronically, too. When one cannot rebut, they sputter. And when sputtering comes, all they have left is name calling harkening back to the days when they were on kiddie playgrounds going around saying "Nyah! Nyah! Nyah! Nyah!"

Regressive and anal rententative attitudes are not pretty things to watch. But they can certainly be funny to watch, too.

Condi for Prez

Now that Halloween is over. Condi for Prez!

Wouldn't it be great for Dr. Condoleezza Rice to become President? The first black woman to become President of the United States? Wouldn't it be great for Condi to grab two titles by being the first black woman to become the Vice President of the United States and then subsequently become the first black woman to become the President of the United States? Think about this. How would Cheney step aside? There are a couple of ways that could be done as a reason if you think hard enough.

Here's why.

Here and here, too.

Freedom is Never Free

Check out Iraq the Model and see how the Iraqis have gotten together to discuss how to ensure their freedom with their new found and hard fought Iraq Constitution. Reminds me of the forefathers who gathered at Independence Hall. Only this time they gathered at the LIBERTY LOBBY.

Check out all of the latest news and reports on the war on terrorism and the fight for freedom here and abroad.

In the country of Singapore you can read what the former Prime Minister of Singapore had to say about freedom of the press and free expression. He's pretty much delusional and is against such an idea.

Here's a little history recap detailing 8 women in the United States who fought for freedom in light of Rosa Park's death.

For over the past 10 years the Nepal government was able to incorporate media freedom into their nation's Constitutional Articles guaranteeing their people their freedom of opinion and expression. This was the result of the hard-won outcome of people’s 30-year long struggles against the Panchayat regime that ruled by suppressing people’s voice.

Here is a nervous lecture that took place in Beijing's Tsinghua University where lecturer Li Ao, China's independent legislator and television personality, discussed in the packed auditorium where he questioned how long the Communist Party could remain in power and urged it not to be afraid of free speech. The talk filmed live beamed to China mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan reaching an estimated audience of 130 million. Li even turned to Mr. Liu who was sponsoring the lecutures and asked "Does Mr Liu think that my speech so far is safe?"



Freedom in Iraq. Without it,
he would be dead already. Even
if he protested against Bush.



LiberalsMoonbats protesting using their freedom
to protest freedom in Iraq. They would rather
have Saddam in power unlike the Iraqi guy
in the above picture.


Do you want to be in a country where you have to ask permission to see if your speech is "safe enough"?

Freedom is NEVER free. Don't you forget that.

Boo!! Happy Halloween

Booo!! Scared you didn't I? It's Halloween night and all the ghosts, ghouls and zombies are out in force tonight. Vampires can still haunt you in your nightmares. And all of the Frankensteins never had it so fun on All Hallows Eve. But beware of the Spider lady she'll ensnare you into her sticky, stringy lair. Watch out for the nasty werewolves and please keep your children away from them! Watch out for the witches , they always seem to catch a break! And what ever you do, never, never grow up and be the gay (a little play of word here for those who are bent on complaining about my blog) and scary person like this guy. Ever!
