Its hard to know where to begin on all the bullshit dished by Dem strategist Bill Beckels in this article. A lot of what he says about Democrat trends would be valid with any other candidate, were Obama not the standard bearer. In fact, his analysis would be a pretty good fit with Hillary as the candidate. With all the negative press the Republican party has been getting its not strange the country is down on the GOP.

because it makes you feel less of a man to be so impotent.

Oddly enough, Osama “the beard” bin Laden and Arianna Huffington agree with Kos, but they are all on the same side, after all.

This started as a comment but got me worked up into an entire post.

Unfortunately, there is still a huge swath of humanity that gets its news from MSM sources, and still trusts those sources. And if both those categories fit you, you are probably one of the people that thinks “George W. Bush is the worst president ever” because that is what all MSM, be itin the US or down under, feeds us.

Investigate “The Mormon Curtain“, a site run by ex-Mormons that exposes the excesses and hateful rhetoric taught by the Mormons. Some of their behavior crosses the line into criminality. Not to mention the hateful racism, sexism and intolerance preached and practiced by this Cult.

Vanity Fair has a new navel-gazer where they re-examine the coverage of Algore in the run-up to the 2000 election and start the newest legend, that the press was too hard on him, made up and exaggerated stories, and basically sand-bagged him.

Its almost like a case of ‘the facts are wrong but the narrative is correct’ that the left loves. No, Gore didn’t actually say he “invented” the internet, but he did in so many words try to take credit for it, by VF’s own new reporting.

And he did say, incorrectly, that he and Tipper were the inspiration for Love Story, but now its fashioned that it was a throw-away remark that was blown out of proportion as a calculated ploy.

President Bush is in Iraq, and the troops prove again 1. They love this President B. They believe in the mission III. The Dems are going to take a huge fall in ’08 if they don’t recognize both the worth or the mission and the fact they need to get behind it and start rooting for its success, not its failure. No one has ever won an election rooting for the US to lose a war.

Most of the intel is being aggregated and analyzed by a great blog called Internet Anthropologist T.T.. Lots more at American Thinker.

There is a big development in the war in Afghanistan. Here’s the short version:

I quibble with the leftwingnuts’ characterization of President Bush as “pro-war” anymore than FDR or Lincoln or Washington were “pro-war”. No one likes war, but sometimes its the lesser of two evils. Yeah, the war costs money.

But it is worth any amount of money to finally bring peace to the middle east. I applaud the president for breaking with the “realpolitik” of Kissinger, James K. Baker, Warren Christopher, Brezinski, Donald Rumsfeld during the Ford/Reagan years etc. and others who tolerated and even propped up brutal dictators to keep “order”.

Ho-hum, another Dem debate. So what, right? But there was a slip by Hillary! that is getting some press.

The most instructive part of tonight’s gaffe (some people are calling it that, I’m sure Hillary! didn’t think it was, she’s surely focus grouped and polled this to death, as she does everything including her wardrobe and haircut) in the last 2 minutes of the Dem Debate tonight is how rattled Hillary! gets at being caught out. She doesn’t respond well to Dodd, she wavers, she makes lame arguments, tries to regroup and make a strong point, but fails.

More good news from Iraq, calculated to disturb and demoralize Democrats and completely wreck their talking points. The Democrat candidates for president are going to have to scramble to reposition themselves with the new reality in Iraq.

Those who tacked furthest to the left – Edwards and Richardson particularly, who left themselves little wiggle room – are going to have to moderate their rhetoric to consider the fact that to promise to remove our troops “as soon as possible” is going to amount to abandoning the field while we’re winning.
