The new fence, Mexico and the UN

It is of course a complex issue with no easy solutions - this out-of-control border issue. This and other blogs could argue the pros and cons forever. One point does come to mind that I feel compelled to make. It's about the border fence that will be built. Here's the deal: Mexico's government doesn't want the fence built. And now (shake in our boots!!!!) they've threatened to go to the United Nations to stop this affront!!! Can you possibly guess on how many levels I don't give a tinkers damn about this threat?

Reid to the rescue

So Senator Harry Reid gets caught in a shady land deal, plus he reluctantly admits that he used campaign funds to buy Christmas gifts. There doesn't seem to be much mainstream media furor. What gives?

No doubt about the contrasts

I just watched Charlie Rangel being interviewed on Bill O's nightly Fox News show. My only wish is that all those voters deciding they're going to vote Democrat this election could have heard Charlie so they fully understand where the pillars of the Democrat Party want the country to head.

Here's some hints: Lawyers for all the terrorists ... ACLU oversight or some such outfit to make sure they're all comfortable ... civilian trials for the terrorists ... no coerced information. And think, this guy isn't as nuts as some of the rest of the Democrat stalwarts: Pelosi, Dean, Kennedy, Soros and spawn.

Where's Zell Miller when the Democrats actually need a candidate?

Useful idiots

Bill O' reporting on his nightly Fox News show the other night cited a poll stating that 50%+ of respondents were going to vote Democrat in the upcoming mid-term House elections, boding poorly for Republicans. Now here's the scary part, of these voters saying they were going to do this, almost half didn't know Nancy Pelosi. And I am sure even less know George Soros. Does that scare you as much as it does me?

Paris and Nicole reunite - world saved!

So many mainstream "news sources" were all thithery today with a story about Paris and Nicole reuniting! I guess the fabric of the universe is once again safe from threat, the karma of the cosmos is in order, a cure for cancer and butt boils will surely be forthcoming just any day now, windfall inheritances shall soon lighten every household's burden, tooth decay will cease being a nuisance to western society, and Nancy Pelosi will get a makeover. Hooray for hard news when we need it. 'tis yet again a sterling day in the annals of network and mainstream news histories.

Carter and Chavez side by side at the UN?

I am so sick of Jimmy Carter. Today he's blessed us with his "wisdom" yet again, with an op-ed piece in the NY Times wherein he dutifully assigns all North Korea blame game designations on George Bush, which the Times was more than glad to pass off an accurate portrayal of history. He was particular upset by how Bush screwed up the masterful job he had done on behalf of the Clinton administration ... you remember: Jimmy, Albright, cocktails, autographed sports memorabilia? And we all know what a keeper of his word Kim is.

I wonder what is next with this kook? I can almost see it now: Carter, Chavez ... sponsored by the NY Times with the ACLU being the presenting sponsor ... hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder ... addressing the UN General Assembly and explaining to the world what a terrible country the United States is.

Far fetched? Stay tuned ... elections are near.

Free speech shouted down, threatened at Columbia University

By now, you may have very well seen reports about the Leftist near-riot at Columbia University at the beginning of a speech by a member of the Minuteman Project. At this so-called bastion of free speech, the speaker was shouted down, not allowed to speak and was clearly in harm's way, all while the Columbia "police" stood by, watched and essentially did nothing.

Several issues come to mind, not the least of which is the fact the Far Left in the USA (and in many of the universities where they're groomed and allowed to run free) has been and is crossing a very dangerous line, as they see their influence waning and their causes being defeated by Middle America.

How long will it be before, in their last attempts to have relevancy, they seriously injure or kill someone?

Next issue, when will common sense Americans absolutely put their foots down in the universities that allow these nuts to behave like this, all in the name of so-called "Freedom of Speech," and force these universities to display and teach political balance and civil discourse, or be gone ... lose funding ... be shut down? Some of these schools have become pretty close to our version of the hate-spewing mosques we see in parts of the world. These schools run on public and private funds - funds that can indeed be cut off if the public is willing.

Last, will issues like this finally awaken the vast, sleepy political middle enough that everyone recognizes the threat the Far Left truly brings, who supports them, and with whom they are aligned? What do you see as the answer?

By the way, the link that follows takes you to a press release about the incident:

freeSpeech under debate

The link included in this post takes you to Brian Rohrbough's Monday evening "freeSpeech" segment on CBS evening news. To say it has created a stir would be an understatement. Couric characterized the comment as "repugnant" in response it seems to some of her liberal fans emailing her with how disturbed they were that Rohrbough had been allowed to say such offensive things.

Now the backlash against Couric is proving to be astounding, and the support for Rohrbough's views being best described as tidalwave in nature. If you didn't see, or haven't had a chance to read, what this father who lost a son during the Columbine killings had to say about the current state of public education, you owe it to yourself to do so ... regardless of your political leanings.

You may also find Couric's blog at the CBS News site interesting as she's posting some of the comments coming in. To me, Rohrbough made a case that will resoundingly be supported by much of the "silent" middle.

Or this may very well be the start of the "silent" middle not being so "silent" any more. What's your view?
