Tonight on O’Reilly, Sens. Lindsey Graham & Joe Lieberman discussed their amendment to the current war-funding bill, that would prohibit the release of the thousands of photos of alleged detainee abuse at detention facilities overseas. O’Reilly calls Pelosi and Barney Frank out for their willingness to put our soldiers’ lives on the line to appease their liberal, bed-wetting, peace-at-any-price constituents in their respective districts.
The release of these photos will be a win/lose situation. A win for the Islamofascists and a lose for western nations that have taken up the mantle to battle them. I hope the Graham/Lieberman amendment stays in the bill. Please call your elected representatives and tell them you will accept nothing less. The lives of American troops are at stake.
Another hilarious installment, as usual, as Beck asks the pertinent questions – and the sometimes hypothetical. What is happening to this country? Where is common sense anymore?
Watch and enjoy (or cry, whichever is more appropriate).
Today on Special Report with Brett Baier, the panel including Charles Krauthammer, was especially prescient in describing the pitfalls of Obama’s South American visit, his time with Chavez, his complacent acceptance of Daniel Ortega’s 50-minute anti-US screed, as well as America’s endurance of Mahmoud’s tirade about Israel being a “racist regime.”
WAKE UP AMERICA! THIS COUNTRY IS BEING TRASHED AND OUR PRESIDENT IS ALLOWING IT! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WILLING TO DO TO STAND UP TO THIS LUNACY? I’m SICK of Obama portraying us as the country of apologists. The world’s ills are NOT our fault, despite what some think, and I’m sick of Hussein’s constant trashing of this country while abroad.
And Mahmoud’s performance AGAIN in front of a U.N. Conference? Will Americans still accept our president if he now says he will not change his mind about direct talks without pre-condition? How in God’s name can he do that after today? Are you seriously kidding me?
h/t to Drudge for this late-breaking story about the new U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon via the AP. Apparently, Ban has ticked some of the U.N. appeasers and thugs off by not denouncing the death penalty carried out against Saddam Hussein.
New U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon ran into trouble on his first day of work Tuesday over Saddam Hussein’s execution when he failed to state the United Nations’ opposition to the death penalty and said capital punishment should be a decision of individual countries.
The U.N. has an official stance opposing capital punishment and Ban’s predecessor Kofi Annan reiterated it frequently. The top U.N. envoy in Iraq, Ashraf Qazi, restated it again on Saturday after the former Iraqi dictator was hanged.
Ban, however, took a different approach, never mentioning the U.N. ban on the death penalty in all its international tribunals, and the right to life enshrined in the U.N. Charter.
“Saddam Hussein was responsible for committing heinous crimes and unspeakable atrocities against Iraqi people and we should never forget victims of his crime,” Ban said in response to a reporter’s question about Saddam’s execution Saturday for crimes against humanity. “The issue of capital punishment is for each and every member state to decide.”
His ambiguous answer put a question mark over the U.N.’s stance on the death penalty. It also gave the new chief an early taste of how tricky global issues are, and how every word can make a difference.
And here’s an even more promising passage:
Ban later addressed hundreds of U.N. staff members in New York and via teleconference at eight locations around the world, urging them to maintain the highest level of ethics and discipline in the face of recent criticism about lack of accountability, ethical lapses and inefficiency at the U.N.
“I stand before you humbled, with a heavy weight on my shoulders, but my heart is beating with quiet excitement,” he told them.
The new secretary-general has said his first priority will be to restore trust in the United Nations, whose reputation has been battered by the oil-for-food scandal in Iraq, corruption in the U.N.’s purchasing operations and sexual abuse by U.N. peacekeepers.
Oh, and guess where he ate on his first day of duty? In the U.N. cafeteria with other U.N. workers, and even stood in line to pay for his meal of meat and rice just like everybody else. Gee, what a refreshing change! I’ll bet Kofi would have never been caught dead associating with lowly U.N. staffers. The article even says the staffers were stunned by this act.
Bravo, Ban! Now we finally have a secretary general who understands what it’s like to have to deal with brutal dictators (especially their own neighbors). And I doubly agree that it’s up to the individual member state to decide their own dang policy on whatever they choose. If Iraq wants a speedy death penalty, then they can have it. I just think we should take some clues from them on convicted murderers in the U.S. Let’s hope this is a sign of good change at the U.N. Thank God Kofi is gone.
I can’t believe I haven’t seen this one yet, but this is a cartoon that tells it like it is. Do we really expect the U.N. to do right by the world regarding that demented little gargoyle that runs N. Korea? I am UNconfident myself, as I’m sure many of you are, so this comic is oh-so-appropriate. Notice also that the armor is “Made In China.” Love it!
Much better than the fare offered by the likes of Ted Rall, who bow at the altar of Islam. (Oh, and in the Boston Herald of all papers! HA! Take that, Kennedy & Kerry!)
Well, hopefully H&Cs make this a permanent addition to the show, because I really love it. There is no other comic as sage and witty as Dennis Miller, and he always tells it like it is. Tonight he targets Clinton, Chavez and Ahmadinejad. Listen for Dennis’ term for Mahmoud. I love it. I also like Millers’ nicknames for Sean & Alan. Watch to hear them.
I’ll post the next installment as soon as it appears on H&C again. I’m going to write Fox and suggest they make “Miller Time” a regular segment on H&C. You should do the same.
Found this awesome video on the web today (h/t HotAir). A modern song set to Founding Father principles.
Kind of a cool way to reach the younger generation, don’t you think? I believe there’s a movement afoot to educate everyone. We all need to be reconnected with our history and our country’s founding – without [...]
I agree with Mediaite’s post about this – possibly the best 15+ minutes of Glenn Beck EVAH! I had already culled the video, was waiting to edit & post it, but I’m going to h/t Mediaite and post their video for your viewing pleasure. It’s much better quality than mine was anyway.
This was from the Rachel Maddow show on the 24th.
Okay, okay… despite the obvious jokes about this pair that write themselves (including one that just popped in my head regarding the acronym SCOTUS), this was a most delusional segment from MSNBC about the Supreme Court ruling scaling back some of the restrictions of McCain-Feingold. [...]
Again, wow… just wow. The formerly-believed-to-be eternal seat for Dems was taken away tonight by the MA special election to fill Teddy “The Swimmer” Kennedy’s seat. Scott Brown won handily against lackluster candidate, Martha Coakley. Martha wasn’t helped by any stretch of the imagination, when she said Curt Schilling was a Yankee fan. This was [...]
