The lies about what went on at Tuskegee need to be addressed

With the whole furor in the news these days about Obama’s loony preacher Wright and his crazy beliefs, the subject of the Tuskegee experiments on syphilitic black males and the ridiculous lies about how it was done on purpose have popped up again. Primarily by idiot libs that want to justify the ridiculous assertions by Rev. Wright’s about how AIDS was a US government manufactured disease to kill blacks. I was going to write about this whole ridiculous lie, but Jonah Goldberg beat me to it and did a much better job about it too..

He basically debunks this whole stupid lie that the US government purposefully infected black males with syphilis to conduct a study. That is a lie. Nobody infected people on purpose. Infected males where chosen and then studied for 40 years to understand the spread of syphilis. Nobody can deny that government power was basically misused. But who was government and why did they have no qualms doing this kind of thing? Jonah gets it right:

But why blacks remain the most reliable voters for the party of ever-expanding government power is something of a mystery. Indeed, it’s worth noting that the Tuskegee study, launched during the pre-dawn of the New Deal-era, was symptomatic of arrogant liberal government. The study “emerged out of a liberal progressive public health movement concerned about the health and well-being of the African-American population,” writes University of Chicago professor Richard Schweder. He adds: “The study was done with the full knowledge, endorsement and participation of African-American medical professionals, hospitals and research institutes.”

As you can see, the evil here is not what the lie about Tuskegee proposes however. The evil is that people that where sick where just observed rather than cured by a “progressive government”. Jonah points out something very important. The left has masterfully, yet again, put blame for something they did on someone else:

Liberals like to invoke Tuskegee as if it’s solely an indictment of what other people did, proof that we need more progressive government. But Tuskegee was in fact the poisoned fruit of progressive government.

In the end the question begs to be answered about why it seems that this stuff is never understood by hucksters like Wright. Or do they understand this just fine? After all, they are preaching hatred because it pays well. The facts be damned.

Reality Check

The news that Brazil has found one of the world’s largest oil fields off their coast might just usher in some major geopolitical changes for the Americas. If these oil fields are as large as the Brazilians claim, and they can bring them up to speed by the 2020 date the article mentions, we will have zero need of oil from the Middle East anymore. And as the article mentioned that carries some major league consequences to our global strategy. Suddenly having a stable Middle East is of no consequence at all for the US. I guess the Euroweenies and the Chinese and Indians will still need oil from that part of the world, but that means they would now have to provide security for it’s flow. I am sure the Euroweenies would end up paralyzed and even more beholden to the nut jobs that would certainly rise up and take over in the vacuum of an American presence - the Euros have no way to provide even a fraction of the security the US is providing and will not do so even if they increase their military spending 10 fold because of their personal politics and the sheeple they now have that has forgotten the value of power projection - and they will pay for that. But does anyone doubt that China would not simply destroy Iran if they got in the way of their oil needs? Of course Iran might just go along with the Chinese and Indians and stick it to the Euros. In either case the Euros are the ones that will get hit hard by this. And any idiot claiming alternative fuels will come to the rescue will have to eat bitter words. This stuff is just pipe dreams.

Of course there is always the possiblity that now that Europe is threathened by this scenario that our left will realize a stable Middle East is important. After all, once we do not need their oil and have no national security interests in the ME, then wasting valuable US resources becomes quite OK with the moonbats. I would reman delighted to see those socialist house of cards in Europe collapse as soon as possible. I still think once they fail misserably people here will give up following in their doomed path. Of course the nut jobs that think oil will soon cease to be the major lubricator of the modern world are going to eat crow as this major oil find just makes it more likely that oil & the combustion engine remain the catalysts to progress for many decades to come. Especially when their MMGW hoax fals flat after the earth cools in the enxt decade. But keep living on fantasies you deranged moonbats. And it looks like the Brazilians with their new discovery will join Canada with the shale oil in getting very rich indeed.

Why I am pissed at the Republicanns

Shit like this is what ticks me off about republicans? Forget Reagan? WTF? Hell no you idiot! You should be the ones remembering Reagan. He was popular for a reason: he really believed in the US and wanted to make government smaller. This outburst is more proof of the degeneration of our society as a whole. Basically these politicians pander to the lowest common denominator: the people that feel entitled to things at the expense of others. I am saddened to see how many people believe government should give them stuff so they can sit at home on their lazy asses. And I am angered to see how many politicians, especially in the party that is supposed to value self reliance and conservative ideals, have basically given up on the fight to change people’s minds and simply adopted the vote buying at the expense of the productive tax payer’s expense. Forget Reagan? Hell no! Forget idiots like you fool! How sad.

Say it ain’t so!

There are real consequences to “feel good” liberal policies? SAY IT AIN’T SO! We really meant well and wanted to help out poor Gaia. It looks as more and more facts come out about how counterproductive the entire green bio-fuels push has been, some of the real consequences of these policies are starting to finally become indisputable. Who could have thunk that if we took corn, rice, and other food staples off the market to make dubious bio-fuels, which tend to take more energy to produce than they can deliver anyway and thus simply defeat the entire purpose of why they where mandated (not two guys going out) in the first place, that somehow these crops would not be available for people to eat? But, but but! The libs ment well! This is what liberal government mandated policies tend to always be: nothing but feel good empty promises that cost a bundle and result in greater harm than any potential good they ever where intended to do. If you Gaia worshipping nut jobs really want to do us all a favor demand more nuclear energy and clean burning liquefied coal power production. Leave food for people to eat. Or is it that the Gaia worshippers have snowed us all and come up with a way to reduce world population through starvation and the wars that such starvation is sure to cause??

This is why socialism sucks

Read this story dealing with tax payments and you will see what the inherent problems of socialism are.

WASHINGTON (Map, News) - Tuesday is the deadline for filing federal income taxes. Half of American taxpayers will pay 97 percent of the individual income taxes the government will collect for 2008, according to IRS data. The other half will pay little or nothing, yet receive billions in benefits in the form of cash, subsidies, “free” services and other benefits, and loans. There are indeed “Two Americas,” but the two aren’t the rich and poor, but taxpayers and tax consumers. It’s going to get even tougher for the taxpayers in the near future, thanks to legislation being readied by Democrats who control Congress.

Let us face it. The democratic party relies on buying the vote of those 50% that pay nothing or very little with largesse at the expense of those that pay. And as the ratio of those that pay declines and that of those that have figured out how to game the system increase, there will be less money to go around and buy votes with. Of course the commiecrats will correct that by taking even more away from the payers as the article points out, driving more people into the hands of the government for their daily subsistence.

As someone that has people living in socialist Europe I have first hand knowledge of how well that has worked out for them and how bad things have gotten after juts a couple of decades of this crap. Italy had an election this past weekend that meant nothing. Mired in corrupt socialist government that stifles any kind of productivity or creativity, the country has become a parasite that sucks vast amounts of cash from other European nations but remains unable to correct the fact that their idiotic & corrupt anti-capitalist socialist policies have made the cost of living so high that general population that has become accustomed to government taking care of them indirectly or directly - way too many Italians work for the government doing nothing but shuffling paper - can make ends meet. The country is falling apart. And yet the politicians cling to their failed socialism hard because without that they would all be out of work.

In the Netherlands, because of the high value of the Euro and the protectionist policies of the EU vis a vis imports, people are now spending 4 if not 5 times the amount they did just a couple of years back for their weekly groceries. Everything is so expensive and government has been forced to cut back services so drastically while providing little or no tax relief that people are for the first time in 5 or 6 decades experiencing trouble getting food on the table. And it is getting worse, not better, because the efforts to move away from the failings of socialism are not being done effectively, and even worse, are often taken without returning the taxes that where being collected back to the people. So in the end the people are left with the same low after tax income and even bigger financial obligations to meet. A recipe for failure.

Many wonder how bad we are having it in America with our supposed economic slump (remember it is an election year and the MSM always feels the economy is bad as long as the guy in the WH has not got a (D) next to his name so the majority of the doom & gloom we are hearing is contrived if not outright false), but compared to how bad they have it over there we are still much better off. Well at least until after the election when the commiecrats want to take us down the same road to disaster that these socialist Europeans took not more than 2 decades ago and are now all forced to rethink or perish from.

But them’s the breaks during an election year when the left is out of power.

I demand we withdraw!

Well it is now clear that we are in a quagmire! Don’t believe me? Take a look at this coverage. The place is a disaster! There is no way we can win this one. Withdraw the troops and lets just leave it alone....

After all, there is constant violence and these people will never learn to play by the rules. We should just quit while we are ahead. Honestly. Why are we wasting money on a place like this? And this is not the only place this stuff happens. 

Congress demands energy companies do something!

Illegal Immigration and a National ID system

I was driving into work this morning and listening to a local talk show and the topic being discussed was a national ID card. The people calling in to make their point seemed equally divided over the whole idea. You had your usual privacy advocates that felt it was a given that the government was going to abuse such and ID system, and you had those that felt it would actually despite the privacy problems and potential for abuse be a valuable tool. The most common arguments of the proponents of such an ID system, including the arguments by the host of the program - and they are totally right about this - was that government already had all kinds of information on its citizens, and especially the law abiding ones. If you drive, own a passport, have been married, own a bank account or credit card, pay bills, own a fire arm, and file taxes - all things most law abiding citizens do - there is no way to avoid the government collecting a ton of information about you. And even if you are not such a law abiding citizen, these many and broad requirements for documentation to function in our society make it nigh impossible to hide from government effectively.

So the privacy argument is moot. It still does not do away with the potential for abuse that such a system would give our government, but that is why we have the second amendment. I should add still to that last thought. On the other side such an ID system does have some values, but that is predicated on the system being used to stop certain abuses. But what struck me as ridiculous was the belief held by many proponents of such an ID system that government would do exactly that when it comes to illegal immigration. I am one of the first people to point out that our immigration system is broke and in dire need of fixing. But I am also of the opinion that the people that circumvent it should not be rewarded for their lack of respect for our laws, but punished for doing that. No matter how good their intentions or their efforts after the fact are. The point is that they broke a law, and allowing people to break laws they find inconvenient, leads to nothing but anarchy. But I digress. The issue is how so many believe a national ID system will suddenly make the government care about enforcing immigration laws.

If your argument is that government already is able to collect so much information about its citizens that a national ID system will simply be a minimal step up on the already existing level of intrusion, then please answer me why government is not already able to control illegal immigration? The answer is simple: they do not want to do so. Democrats like the illegals because of many reasons. They help enforce the images of a poverty stricken populous that requires government intervention to address all the evils of society. From lack of insurance and the need for “free healthcare” to every other two bit socialist program intended to make the people dependant on government hand outs can be made more urgently needed when you pad the numbers with illegals living outside the system. While many come here for a crack at the American dream the fact remains many also suck, and suck very hard, at the government’s teat. Often by design. And do not forget the illegal, and often repeat voters, the democrats could not win elections without either.

Republicans love the illegals because it is huge force of cheap labor. A sad but direct response to government’s attempts to regulate the market and doing a terrible job of it. And many of them also see an influx of a few score of million potential workers as the only alternative to shore up a social security system that will soon have way too many people taking out compared to those paying in. Conservatives have given up on their attempts to do away with that SS Ponzi scheme and have settled for prolonging the agony and leaving the though decisions up to someone else down the line. They see that in the near future SS will either end up paying out so little it means nothing, be forced to take such a huge chunk of the income of those still working to stay viable that it basically becomes a disincentive for work, or simply goes belly up. To correct that they are hoping to skew the ratio of those paying in to those collecting back in favor of those paying in for at least a few more decades. Stupid by any kind of logic because what we need is for SS to be killed off and people to get their own way of saving for their retirement if we want to prevent that system from going belly up and leaving one or 2 generations to suffer the consequences on that dependency.

Anyway, back to the national ID system and the lame argument of how it would help enforce or curb illegal immigration. If the government has no incentive to curb illegal immigration right now, and while it has so much information about its citizens already, and turns a blind eye to the entire illegal immigration issue, why do we thing a national ID system will suddenly make them change their minds? Basically the people claming that such a system would be a powerful tool to combat illegal immigration forget that the only reason we do not have a much better response to illegal immigration is that government itself has no desire or reason to enforce the law. Getting such a system will not change that underlying problem. So it is a dumb argument to begin with. it is like the constant lawmaking around gun violence when existing gun laws are not enforced. It is meaningless. Let it go. If your concern is illegal immigration address the problem now by making our government change its mind about enforcing it more rigorously first. Everything else will be a waste of time.

Only one of the many we get told about

This story is recieving minimal coverae, but it is recieving coverage, unlike the many other attempts by the fanatics that hate the modern world and those that will not bow down to the evil they worship. You will likely hear tons of idiots making excuses as to why these barbarians feel justified to commit these evil acts. Many of the excuses will be made by the very first people these barbarians would kill if they had buta chance: the idiots on the left. The many details of how they conspired to wanted to kill as many as possible to break the airline industry and to completely change modern transportation in the West, is frightning. This is about the most vile form of hatred and lack of respect for anyone that will not submit to their will. The idiots that tell us if we but left these people alone in their corner of the world things would be fine ignore the fact that these people are already amongst our mids. This is a war. I remain convinced that tens of thousands more have to die on our side before we wake up to that reality. A couple of hundred thousand all at once before the America hating libs will shut up and let the rest of us do what is needed. This problem will not go away. The MSM hucksters will down play it - they preffer stories that make the West, and especially the people that do want to fight this evil look bad and have no qualms manufacturing those stories - and give it short shrift. To them it is just another bump in the road. However there is no denying that it is getting uglier and uglier out there. The other side is at war with us. We are sleeping at the wheel.

Why who is in the WH matters.

Many of my fellow conservatives have taken the stance that since McCain is no worse than your average democrat when it comes to his social beliefs, showing your dissatisfaction with him by helping a democrat win the WH and then get the blame for the damage the supposed socialist policies both they and McCain would enact will help the conservative cause. I think these people are crazy because they are hoping that a shift to the right in Congress would somehow check a donkey in the WH. i am not sure why they feel so assured Congress will go right in the next election. But that is an argument for a different time. What I am writing about is the presidential power to appoint judges to the SCOTUS. It is a given IMO that the next president will appoint at least 2 judges. All you need to do is read this article about the effects of the Medellin v. Texas SACOTUS decision and this other one about how that decision translates to the US ratifying the Kyoto protocol or some other such international treaty would have played out if the left had been the majority on the SCOTUS and abdicated our Constitutional rights to some international body like the ICJ. Read them both.

Good Riddance!

I can not help but say that I am elated at the news that CBS’s Jericho has been canceled. As one of the many that fought to bring the show back after its first cancelation this stance might baffle those that have not followed this season’s shows. But anyone that has attempted to watch the ridiculous anti-American, anti-conservative, and anti-capitalist drivel from Hollywood that passed for the new season of the show, would know that this cancellation is a blessing. I was ecstatic when the first episode of the new season came on. I could not wait to see the plot line worked out. Finally we had a show where nobody pussyfooted around the fact that there where evil people out there gunning to kill the US. Iran and North Korea, along with terrorists, both of the Jihadi kind and some of the domestic American variety with sympathy to the anti-American cause (read leftist anti-war idiots) of the Axis-of-Evil types, had been implicated in the attacks, and we had responded with harsh force to their evil. The potential for a show that would show how the American way would help a nation that was supposed to be crippled and destroyed bounce back from the brink of the abyss was there. And that was why Jericho seemed like such a great show that had to be allowed to play out.

Of course as soon as the second season started the anti-war drivel coming out of Hollywood was piled as high as it could get and any chance for a show that would show the greatness of America’s people and their spirit was washed away. In complete and total contradiction to all historical facts suddenly we find out that the culprits are a shadow conspiracy of neo-conservatives and a big corporation. It seems that these liberal idiots in Hollywood are incapable of understanding that any time such kinds of shenanigans have taken place that it was done by the so called “progressive” movement. It was FDR that locked up American citizens in camps. Kennedy & Johnson where the ones to fake the Gulf of Tonkin incident to justify a war in Vietnam. Carter was the fool that almost helped the USSR win the Cold War. Bill Clinton was the SOB that started spying domestically on what the American people where doing and then lobbed missiles at other nations when he needed a diversion from his attempts to perjure and encourage perjury on his behalf. Not to mention that Bill Clinton was also the guy to hand out the largest amount of no-bid contracts to Halliburton, the evil company “Ravenwood” in Jericho was supposed to represent. And nobody gets more political contributions from people with nefarious reasons than the democrats. From the trial lawyers that want to destroy the constitution so they can make money to every business that knows that the only protection from the socialists democrats is to pay them the tribute they demand in campaign contributions to make sure they do not screw you over. But of course, Jericho had to have the leftists project their evil on conservatives. I do not remember any conservatives saying they had to destroy America to save it from the evils of the left. This kind of thinking is exclusive to the left. Sure these idiots might throw out McVeigh, but this guy was as conservative as I am into man love. Not a chance in hell. If anything McVeigh’s gripes are libertarian in nature because he wanted to strike at oppressive government after the whole Wacco fiasco. Hey wasn’t that another bunch of liberals dealing with people they didn’t like too?

Anyway, Jericho kept going downhill. We see the military suddenly accept and serve a shadow government that was not in the line of succession while completely ignoring their oath to the United States. Of course liberal idiots that only feel sympathy for military personnel that turn against their country, their fellow soldiers, or against an elected government they hate because it is not run the way they want it to be, would have no problem with having our military do these things. After all, these are the same idiots that have come up with the twisted logic where they want us to believe that they support the troops by undermining the sacrifices these troops are doing and handing them a sordid defeat. Personally I can do without the kind of support that feels like a gang rape in prison, but the left assures us they mean well and support the baby killing troops.

Not only does this military force have no problem serving the A.S., but they are suddenly very Nazi like in their behavior. They come in, restore order and services, clean house and get life back to normal, only to then turn the place into a concentration camp. In the mean time the government they serve is busy wiping all the people that disagree with them out with some shadow virus for which the vaccine is carefully regulated. Color me pink, but the only people that I have ever heard contemplating and actually arguing for something like this claiming that it would be a blessing to mankind, have been your prototypical leftist Gaia worshipping twits. Heck the way socialist government works is exactly like this. Do as we tell you or you will be eliminated. This is what life in the USSR, the Eastern Block nations, China, Cuba, and every other hell-hole where these progressive beliefs have been adopted was or continues to be like: serve the state or die. But of course the leftists in Hollywood projected that onto the right. And the list of idiotic stuff goes on.

In short, Jericho lost its appeal to everyone like me – and I guarantee you we where the ones in the majority that asked for it to come back for another season – and turned into a joke. No wonder it lost ratings. I only continued to watch the darn painful thing so I could put the occasional leftists conspiracy nut trying to use the show as proof that America now was a fascists state because they where not getting their way or in power back in his place as soon as they tried to make the idiotic analogies. It got old fast. Glad to see it gone for good. Maybe these twits in Hollywood should take a look at what made “24” so successful and do that for a change. This anti-American drivel might play well with the usual leftist meathead, but that type prefers to watch shows where the story line either tries to encourage men to have sex with each other, with minors, or with animals, or engage in rampant drug abuse. Of course always with a happy ending that could never be the case in the real world. I guess these idiots could not resist the urge to mess with people’s minds in an election year. I find great comfort that the American people are still too wise to fall for this communist anti-American and anti-capitalst propaganda and have let their remote contorlers do the talking. FU CBS!

Elections & economics.

In these days leading to a national election with a decidedly biased MSM acting as a branch of the DNC, it is critical to understand the reality of our economic situation, especially since the usual class warfare leftists are lying about how bad things are, to be able to counter the bull. David Freddoso over at NRO has one heck of a good commentary piece dealing with this campaign of disinformation by the left which then links back to both an interesting discussion by one of my favorite economists Thomas Sowell as well as a Brad Schiller Wall Street Journal article destroying “ The Inequality Myth” thoroughly.

The main contention by the left is that the income share of the bottom 20 percent of households shrank from 4.1% in 1970 to 3.4% in 2006. But Freddoso points out that the 3.4 percent being bandied about applies to a pie three times as large as the pie of 1970. Adjust that for growth Freddoso points out that the average income of households in the bottom 20 percent has risen by 36% since 1970. Even a retard (most socialists tend to be a step lower that that however) can see that the poorest Americans are richer than they used to be, in addition to being among the richest poor people in the world. And there is another factor that is huge: the top 20 percent household bracket (64 million) contains nearly twice as many actual people as that bottom 20 percent bracket (39 million)! And keep in mind that today 27 percent of households are one-person households while in 1970 that number was just 17 percent. Does anyone want to contest the fact that one-person households are the most likely to be in the bottom quintile? What else? Freddoso points out that:

The bottom 20 percent includes millions of young people starting their first jobs, who will earn more as they grow older. It includes some retirees with assets but little income, and millions of new immigrants just stepping up to the bottom rung of the economic ladder. And yes, millions of chronically unemployed householders, too. But let’s take that bottom quintile for what it is and do a bit of amateur number crunching:

a)The 39 million people living in the bottom-earning household quintile (13 percent of Americans) made a total of $476 billion in 2006.

b) If they were their own nation — let’s call it Carteria (please, suspend your disbelief for a moment) — they would have had a per capita Gross National Income of $12,205 in 2006. (Their per capita GDP would be much higher, but also impossible to calculate with the numbers we’re given.)

c) According to my highly scientific survey of Wikipedia, that puts Carteria in a tie with Saudi Arabia for 41st place in per capita income. The average Carterian would be well ahead of the average Mexican and twice as well-off as the average Venezuelan or Russian.

That’s not great, but it’s not so bad considering that Carterians all come from the 23 million lowest-earning households in the United States.

Plain and simply put, the lowest 20%, is a bracket where a significant amount of the people really are not enduring much of any kind of hardship. But like with Healthcare where the number 43 million uninsured gets bandied about without ever pointing out what the breakdown of those 43 million is, this big number makes for better socialist propaganda. If however that 43 million is broken down thus making it obvious to the audience that the majority of people lumped in that group are there by choice - teenagers with parents that have insurance, young people that opt not to purchase insurance, and so on - or by shady accounting that includes illegal aliens (that vote for democrats) as uninsured people, then suddenly it loses its power. Just like that constant harping about the lowest 20% loses its power when you reveiw the above data. The fact is that democrats want to tax people into obedience and use government handouts to control society and perpetuate their power. They should not be allowed to lie about the economy to do so. The traditional MSM is not very likely to do the work and challenge their bull, so we need to do it ourselves. You can be certain that the economic improvements for anyone, and especially those in the bottom 20%, will never come from anything democrats do. Their MO usualy results in damaged economies and slowed or even worse false growth. Of course you would be damned to find anyone in the MSM that will not suddenly think the economy was just fine if the coccupant of the WH had a (D) next to his name like we had when Clinton was there.

Supporting the troops?

Looks like terrorists, or the usual terrorist supporting leftists that get angry when you point out they both lack patriotism and hate the very country that gives them the freedom to be idiots and are siding with the enemy have struck again. How are they going to spin this attack? We hate the war and support the troops by bombing recruiting stations? Could this be a ploy by the Berkeley city council to move focus from their fiasco with the Marines? Inquiring minds want to know!

Exposed crook is pissed

Is it any surprise that Chavez is calling the Columbian raid to kill a FARC commander a war crime? Remember that we are dealing here with a man that has made it his top priority of spreading the very misery he has inflicted on the Venezuelan people to his neighbors.

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela and Ecuador warned that a regional diplomatic crisis wouldn’t cool down without clear international condemnation of Colombia’s government for a deadly cross-border strike leftist rebels hiding inside Ecuador. On Wednesday, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called the Colombian raid that killed two dozen rebels a “war crime.”

In a bid to defuse a dispute that has seen Venezuela and Ecuador move troops to their borders, the Organization of American States on Wednesday approved a watered-down resolution calling the raid on the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia camp a violation of Ecuador’s sovereignty.

Sure there is an issue here with Columbian troops violating Equador’s soveighnity, but why would Venezuela care or act the way it is acting? Could it be that Venezuela has a legitimate beef here?

Chavez, a leftist ally of Ecuador’s president, called Saturday’s attack by Colombia’s U.S.-allied government a “war crime” and vowed to limit trade and investment with Colombia. “We demand condemnation of the Colombian government for this aberrant act,” Chavez said.

Well, no. The truth is far more sinister. You see, what has Chavez really pissed is the information that the Columbians found on a captured laptop. See Chavez has been sort of playing it up that he was trying to mediate the conflict between Columbia’s people and the communist terrorist/criminal organization FARC, but the truth is that the SOB has been in league with them for almost a decade and has actually been busy trying to undermine the elected Columbian government.

BOGOTA, Colombia — Files in a laptop computer seized from the wreckage of a Colombian rebel camp in Ecuador offer new insights into Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’s desire to undermine Colombia’s U.S.-allied government. If authentic, the computer files suggest Chavez has been in league with the rebels for more than a decade. While Chavez is not one of the correspondents, his sentiments are conveyed in numerous messages exchanged by the rebels. Venezuela contends the texts are lies and fabrications. If so, they are expertly done.

...

They indicate that Chavez, seeking to raise the FARC’s stature and relieve it of its international pariah status, shares their goal of isolating and discrediting Colombia’s president, Alvaro Uribe. But do they prove that Venezuela was actually financing the FARC’s bid to overthrow a democratically elected government? That’s not clear. Naranjo alleges that the number “300,” also called the “dossier” in a Dec. 23 message signed by Marquez, refers to a $300 million gift from Chavez to the rebels.

And now we have the truth. Chavez’s anger is because the Columbians now seem to have proof he has been actively undermining their government, a tactic he has accused others of using against his own government without any proof, while pretending to have good intentions. Should anyone however be surprised that a Marxist resorts to subterfuge and vile practices while not only lying to the international community about what they are doing but accusing others of doing the same to them? Not really. This is SOP for these types of evil bastards. Of course, this will likely endear this crook even more with the usaal leftist twits and the terror masters like Chavez’s buddy Ah-Mad in Iran.

This might not play well for the democrats that have been actively undermining our relationship with Columbia, a staunch ally, and paying lip service to that moron Chavez. A real man of the people. Of course “The people” in this case are the socialist overlords that want to enslave humanity in that misery they pretend is social justice.

Speech by the guy Obama wants to talk to..

Have a look at what that guy Obama says the US needs to be talking to has to say. Have no doubt that when he says “the name of Iran means a firm punch in the teeth of the powerful “ he means that Iran is busy pissing on the US. Yeah, he is busy trying to woo his base in Iran, but he means what he says. Come to think of it. Obama’s stance on foreign policy reminds me very much of the one the radical left used to have during the Cold War: they could not wait to engage the USSR in “talks” but despised anyone of the people they tended to look down upon that were our allies. I guess old habits die hard. Contrast that with what Obama wants to do with Musharaf, a reluctant ally in nuclear armed Pakistan, whom he wants to start a shooting war with. What do you think would happen in Iraq, and the ME in general, if Obama pulls our troops out of Iraq as he is promising? Think Ah-mad would hold back just cause Obama wants to talk? $350 a barrel oil, a shooting war, and probably eventually a nuclear one too, is almost a guarantee. Of course Obama told us if that happened he would send the troops back. I am sure the troops are all happy that after wasting 5 years plus of their sacrifices, cutting their budgets, and allowing the enemy to take the lead in the GWoT, they now get to go back with the threat of a nuclear attack against them on the line.
