Democrats giving America a clear choice

It's one thing to oppose, another to appease... and another to collaborate.

Democrats plug their ears:
"It's remarkable that Democrats, as a matter of policy, are siding with America's enemies in time of war. It didn't work so well for them when they did that during the Civil War. And it is questionable political strategy to make a swift retreat from Iraq the centerpiece of their legislative agenda....

Ms. Pelosi made a trip to Damascus early this month to meet with Syrian dictator Bashar Assad. That trip was panned by the normally Democrat-friendly Washington Post, which said: "Ms. Pelosi's attempt to establish a shadow presidency is not only counterproductive, it is foolish." Ms. Pelosi also expressed a desire to meet with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, until bad press forced a hasty retreat.
This makes absolutely stunning Ms. Pelosi's refusal to meet with Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, when he visited Washington this week. (She did speak with him on the telephone.) She gives the appearance of being eager to meet with America's enemies anytime, anywhere, but she can't find time in her busy schedule to meet with the commander of our troops.

"I've been struck by the degree to which the debate in Washington seems to be lagging behind the reality in Iraq," said military historian Frederick Kagan, one of the surge's godfathers, who has just returned from a visit there.
We won't know until about midsummer whether apparent improvements since the surge began will last, although it's very good news that sectarian killings in Baghdad have plunged and that nearly all the tribes in Anbar province, once an insurgent stronghold, have banded together to fight al-Qaeda.

But when General Petraeus came to Washington to report on these developments, Mr. Reid and Ms. Pelosi essentially stuck their fingers in their ears. Have Democrats invested so much political capital in defeat that good news is as unwelcome to them as news of Sherman's capture of Atlanta was to the Copperhead Democrats in 1864? Is their insistence on precipitous retreat driven by fear we might win?

Liberal logic!

Doh! Why didn't I think of this? We can reduce global warming by legislating more "night"!

NWAnews.com :: Northwest Arkansas' News Source: "Daylight exacerbates warning
You may have noticed that March of this year was particularly hot. As a matter of fact, I understand that it was the hottest March since the beginning of the last century. All of the trees were fully leafed out and legions of bugs and snakes were crawling around during a time in Arkansas when, on a normal year, we might see a snowflake or two. This should come as no surprise to any reasonable person. As you know, Daylight Saving Time started almost a month early this year. You would think that members of Congress would have considered the warming effect that an extra hour of daylight would have on our climate. Or did they ? Perhaps this is another plot by a liberal Congress to make us believe that global warming is a real threat. Perhaps next time there should be serious studies performed before Congress passes laws with such far-reaching effects.

WOODTV.com & WOOD TV8 - Grand Rapids news, weather, sports and video - All GR city pools to open: "Good news for those looking forward to swimming this summer--despite budget problems, all six Grand Rapids city pools will be open.
The City of Grand Rapids has budgeted enough money to open three of the six public pools, but Monday afternoon a group of donors has come forward to open the gates for the remaining three.
A group called 'Making Great Waves for Kids' has collected more than $250,000-enough to convince the city to open the remaining three pools on June 25th.
Organizers worked with the city and others to raise enough to cover 2007 and are still collecting money to cover the next two years as well.
'It's my goal to work with the city and business leaders to develop a long term plan to have this thing dealt with indefinitely,' said Roosevelt Tillman with Making Great Waves for Kids. 'The great news today is that the first year, year one, we got it taken care of. We have the funds to do that now, so that's alright.'
The pool schedule is from June 25th through August 18th, and this year kids 17 and under will be admitted free-thanks to donations by Bob Sullivan and former state senator Glenn Steil.
To help contribute to the swimming pools, send a tax-deductible donation to:

The Columbus Dispatch : Duke lacrosse players owe woman apology

The Columbus Dispatch : Duke lacrosse players owe woman apology: "Duke lacrosse players owe woman apology
Tuesday, April 17, 2007 3:32 AM


I respond to the Associated Press article in Thursday's Dispatch, 'All charges dropped against players,' regarding the Duke lacrosse rape case.
As a 24-year-old white, male college student, I am appalled that a case so pregnant with issues of race, gender, income disparity and prejudice has been swept under the rug.
Even if these young men did not rape this young woman, they still acted in a racist, misogynist manner that should not be condoned in any society. It is disheartening to think that these young men are owed an apology.
Not only do these men owe this young woman an apology, but also this case should cast a spotlight on any demographic of white elites who may hold these principles dear.
If that is overstepping, ask yourself this question: Where would this case be if these young men were inner-city blacks and the young woman was the daughter of wealthy, white elites? I think we all know the answer.

Interesting quitting "explainations"

FOXNews.com - Illinois Principal, Teacher Quit Amid Videotaped Sex Tryst - Local News News Articles National News US News: "CHICAGO HEIGHTS, Ill. — A principal and teacher at a suburban Chicago elementary school have quit after a video surfaced showing the two having sex in the principal's office.
The attorney for the school board of Sandridge District 172, John Izzo, said Principal Leroy Coleman and science teacher Janet Lofton submitted their resignations on Thursday. Izzo said the principal cited health reasons and the teacher said she was quitting because a family member was ill.
Izzo said both the principal and the teacher indicated they didn't know there was a camera in the office -- raising concerns that somebody may have secretly planted it there.
It appears the activities occurred in December and January, according to Izzo. He said the video that was apparently mailed to parents of students at Sandridge Elementary School hasn't been turned over to the district."

The Reverend Al does have a history

Al Sharpton: The Democrat's David Duke by Jeff Jacoby -- Capitalism Magazine: "1995: When the United House of Prayer, a large black landlord in Harlem, raises the rent on Freddy's Fashion Mart, Freddy's white Jewish owner is forced to raise the rent on his subtenant, a black-owned music store. A landlord-tenant dispute ensues; Sharpton uses it to incite racial hatred. 'We will not stand by,' he warns malignantly, 'and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business.' Sharpton's National Action Network sets up picket lines; customers going into Freddy's are spat on and cursed as 'traitors' and 'Uncle Toms.' Some protesters shout, 'Burn down the Jew store!' and simulate striking a match. 'We're going to see that this cracker suffers,' says Sharpton's colleague Morris Powell. On Dec. 8, one of the protesters bursts into Freddy's, shoots four employees point-blank, then sets the store on fire. Seven employees die in the inferno. "

Two people were taken to hospitalized in 'critical/serious' condition, the Chicago Fire Department said. Spokeswoman Eve Rodriguez did not have information on the victims' ages or gender.
Police had initially said the students were in good condition.
The shots were fired at the Chicago Vocational Career Academy at about 2:30 p.m., police spokeswoman Monique Bond said. A student with a handgun shot an unarmed student in the leg, and a bullet apparently ricocheted and struck the shooter in the leg.
She said a gun was recovered at the scene.
School officials could not immediately provide any information. "

This comes on top of the already breathtaking pace today of construction in coal fired electric power plants in China - at a clip of one new plant every week. Don't even think about asking about what kind of pollution control will be operating on those Chinese plants.
A tax on poor people in the US so the Chinese can add more coal fired power plants. Now there's a bright idea.
