"They say we didn't win the election last time because of moral values. The opposite is true," said Dean Check me if I am wrong, but the democrats lost, right?  It was in all the papers too.  So now Dean is trying to rewrite history and say the democrats won in 04? And he is leader of a major political party?  Makes you question the intelligence of their entire leadership.

In the past year or so we have been regaled with stories of how Vincente Fox has been berating the US and the Minutemen for trying to protect the US borders from illegal immigrants.  Indeed it is a very hot button issue that has blurred the lines between conservatives and liberals in America as it is. Now, Mexico is facing an illegal immigration issue of its own.  And they are using a no holds barred solution.  NO ifs, ands or buts.  Illegals to Mexico are being rounded up...

With all the theatrics going on lately at JU, people getting banned, put in time out, petty squabbles going on, sometimes we need to stop and remember what life is all about. And what life is all about is exemplified by Susan Torres and Jason Torres.  One sacraficed her life (she had terminal cancer but wanted the baby anyway) and the other preserved her life for the sake of Susan Anne Catherine Torres, a baby wighing but one pound, 13 ounces. Liberal, conservative, Aussie, Yankee, Br...

This was inspired by ForeverSerenity's question (link below) as to whether cheating with the same sex is cheating or not on your significant other.  I think she got a pretty good response, and I dont really want to revisit that question. Instead, I asked a question on the comments, but I dont really want to hijack her thread. The question is:  Would you be more willing to forgive your significant other for cheating with a member of the same sex or for cheating with a member of t...

In the 1950s, Wisconsin not only exported cheese and Bratwurst, but McCarthyism.  During the witch trials of the 50s, the House UnAmerican Committee allong with Senator McCarthy outed many communists and destroyed many innocent lives with false allegations and innuendos.  It was so bad, that we created a new word for the English Langauge* - McCarthyism. We have passed by that point now, and know that many among us are still card carrying members of the Communist party, but we dont c...

First we had Elizabeth Edwards posting and thanking the kooks on du.org.  Now Sheets Byrd, in a solid red state is so worried about re-election (he should be more worried about senility), that is is advertising on the www.dailykos.com ! For those not in the know, this site is just as far left, perhaps more so, than du.org.  The link will take you to an article where they call Dean centrist, and decry the DLC! Now a lot of people like dean, but I dare any but the LLL left to call...

For regular readers, most know that I live in a very multi ethnic neighborhood.  With every continent represented (except antartica).  My newest neighbors I guessed were muslim based upon the woman's attire.  I met her over the weekend.  Her son (he looks about 2) loves cats and was chasing some of ours.  She appologized, and I told her dont worry.  They are more afriad of him than their own shadow!  Perhaps they will get use to him in time and let him pet them...

As many know, a reporter for Time was threatened with jail if they did not cooperate with the special prosecuter who was trying to get to the bottom of the Valerie Plame case.  But when the prosecutor was originally appointed, Time was gang busters for it: Mr. Fitzgerald is charged with finding out who violated federal law by giving the name of the undercover intelligence operative to Mr. Novak for publication in his column," - Time editorial  Dec. 31, 2003 But after be...

"Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose." "The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help." "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant: It's just that they know so much that isn't so." "Of the four wars in my lifetime none came about because the U.S. was too strong." "I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandment's would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U...

In an interview with Judy Woodruff of CNN in 2004, Kerry was asked about his accusations against American Troops during the Vietnam war.  Here is his answer: No, I was accusing American leaders of abandoning the troops. And if you read what I said, it is very clearly an indictment of leadership. I said to the Senate, where is the leadership of our country? And it's the leaders who are responsible, not the soldiers. I never said that. I've always fought for the soldiers. The ...

In another show of callous disregard to the human race or anything approaching humanity, PETA has a new Ad Campaign against people.  Except this time they really have gone too far!  Instead of enobling their cause, which I am sure was their aim, they just demonstrate how callous and inhumane they are. In the latest Ad campaign, they are equating selling breeding cattle and horses to the horror of the slave trade 200 years ago!  They are not enobling their cause, they are c...

Several members of late have stated they are going or thinking of it.  I know JU has had its problems, and I have been frustrated by them as well.  But given the price and the response, I am not going to complain.  I will pay when and if it becomes a premium site. But for now, I am hanging around. Why?  Because of the people here.  I dont agree with half, and agree with the other half most of the time.  But I have learned about a lot of things from them, that hav...

Terpfan recently published an ariticle where a conservative talk show host had been suspended for calling the war on terror, a war on Islam.  Ok, that is going a bit overboard, and I would call Bush, Cheney, Kerry or Ried to task if they did it.  But Talk shows have more latitude in that respect, and I agree with that latitiude. Except. NOt in a liberal Mecca. Ok, hands up.  WHO is going to argue that DC is NOT a liberal establishment?  To a lesser degree, who is goi...
