Wasting Time With Alex

Yeah, they do not intend to “cut & run”….

I have always said that you can learn what the important things about what people really believe when they think they are speaking to those that believe like them and do not have to couch their language in terms to soften what they mean for fear that those that do not agree with them might point out their true beliefs are out there. Well I think we have one of those moments right here:

Kerry charmed the crowd with tales of surfing at Mission Beach and got laughs for a series of one liners, including telling the crowd he had just returned from Texas, “Where the president used to live - now he lives in a state of denial.”

Kerry then told the students that if they were able to navigate the education system, they could get comfortable jobs - “If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq,” he said to a mixture of laughter and gasps.

Class warfare, fear tactics, racist charges, and all that all rolled up in one neat little package. Let me remind Senator Kerry that the amendment his buddy Charles Rangel tried to pass to re-instate the draft - the only way people would be forced to go to Iraq was if we had a draft - failed miserably and that the troops fighting in Iraq are an all volunteer force. Of course democrats never have a problem letting little things like facts, logic, and the truth get in the way of them demonizing this country or those that do not believe like they do.

Since I am sure the MSM will not report this until donkeys win..

Despite all the fake “economic doom & gloom” stories from the left, all lies since we have one of the best economies ever, some people are reporting that ”Worker Wages, Benefits Rise at Fastest Pace in Two Years”. I expected this. The US economy is firing on all cylinders, something that will stop immediately if the left gets into ppower ansd slams us all with those high taxes they love, and the energy price hikes are forcing employers that want to retain or attract people to make it worth their while. Lets see how many MSM outlets carry this news a week out from the elections they hope (and have worked to help) the donkeys win. 

Well blow me down…

Stem cells, and in particular the donkey talking point that evil anti-technology bible thumping cultists Christians want to ban all stem cell research, has been in the news bigtime with the whole Missouri embryonic stem cell research amendment, better known as Amendment #2, that started a battle between Michael J. Fox and Rush Limbaugh but finally brought to light that this was nothing but an attempt to legalize the practice of cloning, it is again important to point out the facts. First off, the issue isn’t about religious fanatics banning stem cell research like the donkeys keep trying to tell people in order to simply stop them from researching what is really going on, informed people are the bane of the left, but about a rift between those that want to finance embryonic stem cell research with tax dollars - this even though embryonic stem cells have yet to yield any kind of advancement despite ridiculous claims that it would cure everything under the sun and even bring back the dead if you take some of these donkeys at their word - and those that do not. So with that in mind, here is another story about stem cells, and again it is not about embryonic stem cells which has yielded nothing but tumors:

Working in collaboration with experts from the US, the Newcastle scientists succeeded in separating out the stem cells from blood removed from the umbilical cord minutes after birth.

They are then placed in a ‘bioreactor’ - a piece of electrical equipment developed by NASA to mimic the effects of weightlessness. Inside this, the freedom from the force of gravity allows them to multiply more quickly than usual.

The British government has been funding all kinds of stem cell research, including embryonic stem cell research. But every success story related to stem cells seems to come from other kinds of stem cells. Have no doubt this is another political issue. The left has thrived on creating the illusion that the right is populated with religious nuts. In the past they directly attacked these religious people on what they referred to as their latent homophobia or bigotry, but since they discovered the majority of Americans don’t believe the same things these progressives believe and in fact were turned off by it, they have looked for other things to demonize and scare people with. The meme that religious fanatics want to prevent scientific progress plays well with a lot of people that do not bother to do enough research and understand that they are being sold a lie. Remember that as you consider how to cast your vote in a week.

The lies about how republicans want to ban stem cell

This topic is back again with force since an election is a few weeks away. Democrats whom have with the support of a complicit media have been able to convince way too many people that religious nuts are making the WH ban all stem cell research, are again hoping to capitalize on the issue as the Michale J. Fox commercial proves. But we Americans are all suffering a huge setback because this topic has been so politicized and so many people remain ill informed that the real medical successes produced by Stem Cell research are being ignored as this great piece by Mary L. Davenport, MD is an obstetrician and gynecologist, and a Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Read it all. Get informed. Do not fall for these ridiculous arguments about religious fanatics trying to deny us all miracle cures anymore. If you are going to have a point of view on this issue have it based on the facts and not the hype from the left.

Drugs are bad, Hmmmmkay?

Well blow me down. Looks like the police in a regular raid on some drug dealer found to their surprise classified information from Los Alamos Lab on a flash drive. Now for those not up to speed, Los Alamos is the facility where the US conducts its nuclear weapons research, and where about 2 years ago flash drives were banned because of cases involving suspected clandestine Chinese agents stealing weapons technology and terrible mismanagement of security files.

(CBS/AP) Authorities in northern New Mexico have stumbled onto what appears to be classified information from Los Alamos National Laboratory while arresting a man suspected of domestic violence and dealing methamphetamine from his mobile home.

Sgt. Chuck Ney of the Los Alamos Police Department said the information was discovered during a search last Friday of the man’s records for evidence of his drug business.

Police alerted the FBI to the secret documents, which agents traced back to a woman linked to the drug dealer, officials said. The woman is a contract employee at Los Alamos National Laboratory, according to an FBI official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the case.

The official would not describe the documents except to say that they appeared to contain classified material and were stored on a computer file.

Sources tell CBS News the documents were found on a computer flash drive — a memory disk, the very type banned from the lab two years ago. At that time, the Energy Department prohibited all devices that can be easily copied, reports CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson.

So why would a lab employee be handing this stuff over to a drug dealer? This article doesn’t go into much detail about that, but there are only two plausible scenarios at work here and both involve the drug dealer working or hoping to work as an intelligence asset and the person at the lab giving out the information either willingly or unwillingly providing him that information. Of course it might turn out that the drugs angle is not really important, but my bet is that it is. I am very interested to see where this finally ends.

Terrorists using Global Warmming!

Oh man! The terrorists in Iraq have figured out that while they can not win militraily they certainly can help spell our doom by doing more things to push along global warming, so now they are buying SUVs! Maybe now the left will see the evil inthese people and join us in defeating them. The humanity!

How donkeys hope to win

The unvarnished truth indeed

It looks like CNN is now defending it’s decision to show a video of an enemy sniper shooting at our troops in the name of getting people to see the unvarnished truth about Iraq. The unvarnished truth we need to discuss however is that CNN and all these liberal outlets have no problem, not only getting, but showing these kinds of videos while at the same time telling us they find it difficult to show the 9-11 attacks because it would make Americans emotional. So the only emotions Teddy “I am still undecided if I am for the terrorists or simply against the US” Turner’s CNN thinks it is OK to show stuff that will lead Americans down the ideological conclusion they like - that Iraq is bad and we need to leave so the left of course can have their “I told you so” moment - but not anything to remind us of the terrorist killing 3000 people on 9-11 or that shows how our troops are winning and these attacks are mostly desperate and gain the enemy northing but air time on lib outlets like CNN.

Why do I have a feeling that if the US government gave them video of our troops killing Jihadis the commentary around it would be that we are killing innocent civilians? Think I am wrong to say this? Do you remember the coverage the Marine that shot the terrorist playing possum got? How the left accused the military of shooting innocent people whose sole crime was to play dead? Don’t fall for it. These bastards are running an orchestrated campaign to help their ideological mates - the democrats & the Jihadis - and we should not let them get away with it.

It is time to kill him..

I have always believed that we made a mistake not to kill al-Sadr when we had the chance and that humiliation would not be enough. It looks like I was right.

BAGHDAD, Iraq — The Shiite militia run by anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr seized control of the southern Iraqi city of Amarah on Friday in one of the boldest acts of defiance yet by the country’s powerful, unofficial armies, witnesses and police said.

Mahdi Army fighters stormed three main police stations Friday morning, planting explosives that flattened the buildings, residents said.

About 800 black-clad militiamen with Kalashnikov rifles and rocket-propelled grenades were patrolling city streets in commandeered police vehicles, eyewitnesses said. Other fighters had set up roadblocks on routes into the city and sound trucks circulated telling residents to stay indoors.

This guy is an Iranian agent provocateur. While I understand the reason for keeping him around - better the enemy you know than the one you do not - I am starting to think the need for “a good killing” are outweighing the other stuff. Iran is ratcheting up the violence and the crap to give the anti-Bush MSM and the left ammunition fore the coming election. Keep that in mind when some lib tells you that even the generals in Iraq are saying things have gotten bad, of course always also ignoring the “why” things have gotten bad because it speaks very ill of the fact the Iranian/al-Qaeda & democrat connection. At no point must we forget or not point out that the rise in violent attacks in Iraq is directed by Iran and done to help the MSM help the democrats claim Iraq has gone wrong and that there needs to be a change come the election time. The Iranians know that democrats in power is an assured way for them not only to build their bomb without risk of military action, but then to either use it for blackmail or actually use it to blow up Israel without any real risk of military repercussions. Remember that when you go vote.

No doubt the donkeys leaked intel again..

The real story here isn’t that a staffer got dismissed, he is just the one falling on the sword for his masters, but that there no longer is any doubt that it was the donkeys that leaked classified information to the NYT for political gain again.This AP writer goes out of her way to absolve the people involved, including the damn unnamed staffer, in this fluff piece that neglects to point out that democrats are not taking national security seriously and think getting elected is more important than protecting American lives. Of course the donkeys and the NYT have no comment. Can you doubt that had this been about republicans and Fox News or talk radio there would have been some speculation about Rove’s involvement and a sleazy attempt to either cover up or expose something just for political purposes? I am sure the libs will tell us there is no bias in the MSM and how it chooses to report things and that the only bias is on Fox News. Here is more proof there is.

The other madman, the one that doesn’t have nukes yet, speaks up

It looks like the Iranians are again stating the obvious, I stilll have no doubt that the talking-head losers that think diplomacy is the only solution ever will not get the message, and want to make sure everyone wants to know that it is their manifest destiny to build nukes. While I know your average liberal socialist thinks these guys having nukes is the moral equivalent uf Bush-Hitler having nukes, I point out that Bush-Hitler is not the one saying Israel is doomed. The clock is ticking and the left will make soon we snooze the alarm until it is too late…

My Tigers to face the Cards

It’s official, the Tigers are playing the Cards whom beat the Mets in 7 for the title. GO DETROIT!

OPEC to cut production

Well OPEC is now in a panic that oil prices have dropped. These boys want to make money so this cartel has decided to cut production by over 4% in order to get the per barrel price back where they want it in the highe sixties. Analysts predict another cut when they meet in Nigeria in December. Me I have a feeling that while OPEC is saying they want the cuts individual members that would have to implement these cuts are not going to want to take the hit and live with the loss of income as their sales drop. Especially if there isn’t an immediate price spike to make up for their loss of income. And hence, while there will be a price jump, it will not be as big as thee OPEC members are hoping for. In fact OPEC now faces an even larger problem because of all the independent oil suppliers like Russia out there that all hope to capitalize on their game. Lets see how this plays out.

I’m so ronery…

Looks like Kim had to grovel to his Chinese masters, and if you are able to read between the lines, you will see that the reason he is all unhinged is because our current policy is not just working but strangling his clique of vampires.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Il expressed regret about his country’s nuclear test to a Chinese delegation and said Pyongyang would return to international nuclear talks if Washington backs off a campaign to financially isolate the country, a South Korean newspaper reported Friday.

“If the U.S. makes a concession to some degree, we will also make a concession to some degree, whether it be bilateral talks or six-party talks,” Kim was quoted as telling a Chinese envoy, the mass- circulation Chosun Ilbo reported, citing a diplomatic source in China.

So there you have it. The NK masters have lost their perks, are staring at the abyss & end of their prison state, and they are pissed about that. So Kimbo decided he needed to up the ante in order to get the West to back down and go back to those sweet years we paid him blackmail to build his nukes anyway. I think not.

But there is a bigger story here that needs to be understood. This apology to China means that the Chinese have finally seen that their gambit of just playing along and enjoying the chaos & instability Kim was causing can backfire on them. Japan has realized that it needs to take security more seriously and will likely build up its conventional forces & capabilities. Japan also has the technology & know how to build both nuclear bombs and the missiles to deliver them and could likely do so in days. This is going to put a crimp in China’s plans to ascend as the Asian superpower for sure. In fact I am convinced that China now realizes they let Kim go too far and they have now got a vested interest in making sure he doesn’t do anything more to call attention to either of them. Interesting times are ahead, but one thing is for certain: China is going to stop Kim for us now.

Want to bet if we had a donkey in the WH this would be top news?

Guess what people: the Dow Jones is setting new ground breaking records daily, you hear that right Wall Street thinks things are bigger & better than those Clinton glory days the left always wants to remind us off, despite the coming elections and all the mess the left keeps telling us we are in. The simple truth is that the economy is humming at an unprecedented high, and doing so despite huge energy cost increases, a slew of brutal and devastating natural disasters, and even the residual effects of the 9-11 attacks and an ongoing war, and the left is ignoring or downplaying that. You bet your behind that this has to do with those evil Bushie tax cuts and the stimulation that followed from the influx of capital, but you can also bet your behind that the left will have no problem repealing all these cuts and then blaming Bush for the economic impact it has. Think about this the next time you get told there is no bias in the media and before you vote in a couple of weeks. Speaking of votes. How long do you think it will be before the MSM starts reporting how great the economy is should the democrats win and move to enact their socialist agenda? Yeah, when it comes to the economy it is only good news if democrats can be made to get the credit, and always so-so or bad news if they have to give credit where it is due.
