NY Times: The Record of Paper

Media Bias, Politics

The New York Times; The Paper of Record; The home of all the news that’s fit to print has finally executed the ambush of John McCain that they have been planning for months.

Last Thursday’s hit piece, entitled “For McCain, Self-Confidence on Ethics Poses Its Own Risk” was long on rehashing decades-old charges of corruption and ties to Charles Keating, while devoid of all but insinuation and innuendo when it comes to the article’s substantive charge of a McCain affair with 40 year-old telecommunications lobbyist Linda Iseman.

Times Like These

Media Bias, Military/War

With success taking shape in Iraq,  liberal journalists don’t have much to talk about. Unable to impugn the reputation of the military on the battlefield, the New York Times has again resorted to the character assassination of our armed forces here at home.

Both Iraq and Afghanistan have seen Americans awarded the Medal of Honor. There have been stories of selfless sacrifice; of Navy SEaLs exposing themselves to direct enemy fire to radio help for their team or Marines who instinctively hurl themselves on enemy grenades without hesitation. There have been missions where US Army soldiers were compromised by civilians, their missions ending with dead teammates because rather than neutralizing these threats, which would  both assure mission secrecy and be well within their rules of engagement, these gallant US soldiers chose to let them live.

But if you believe The New York Times’ Deborah Sontag and Lizette Alvarez,  the US military is nothing more than a ragtag collection of drunkards, wife beaters, drug abusers, criminals and murderers.

Liberalism: I Salute You

In the Media, Military/War, Politics

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to The US Senate, MoveOn.org, Columbia University, and the New York Times. Together you have done more to expose the moral bankruptcy of liberalism in the United States and more to advance the cause of conservatism in the previous couple of weeks than at any time in recent history. You deserve a medal.

Hillary Clinton, Carl Levin, and other mouthpieces of the Democrat party would have you believe that the current debate over MoveOn.org’s recent birdcage liner in the New York Times is about whether or not you support the war in Iraq. To the contrary; at its core, this debate is about whether or not you support vicious verbal attacks on our military; our country; our citizenry; our dignity.

Hillary Clinton is chomping at the bit to be -lest we forget- Commander-in-Chief of the US military;

Carl Levin chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee;

Yet both had the craven cowardice along with the usual cast of characters; Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Ted Kennedy, to vote against a repudiation of the unwarranted attack on a senior soldier of the US Army who has been bestowed awards for his valor. In other words, by voting no on this resolution, they at least tacitly if not overtly support the cut-rate media smearing of a decorated senior soldier. What a bargain, huh? Gives new meaning to the term ‘cheap shot’.

The New York Times continues its sorry descent into gutter journalism with recent disclosures that it violated its own long-standing editorial policy against publishing attack ads by surreptitiously giving MoveOn.org -a partisan political organization- a steep discount. The evil influence of money in politics rears its ugly head once again. The problem with our political system is that it survives on a large infusion of dirty money. Money used primarily for attacking one’s opponent in the media. When someone gets caught red-handed; like Hillary Clinton; they give it back, or to charity. Problem solved. There’s no accountability. Not much more need be said. The Times is a mouthpiece for extreme liberal propaganda that acted improperly to advance a partisan political agenda like it has been doing for decades, and it is on life support. It should be put out of our misery.

Columbia University, that distinguished epicenter of free thought and higher learning has the hypocrisy and chutzpah to host the president of Iran, who in the past 2 weeks has asked for and been denied permission to lay a wreath at the WTC site in New York, and delivered an anti-American, anti-Semitic diatribe safely from Iranian soil prior to his departure to the US, before coming here and doing the same.

My first reaction was utter amazement that Columbia would legitimize a murderous dictator. That in itself is horribly offensive. The University’s rationale for the invitation is the free expression of ideas; free and open debate, which I fully support. I wish I could believe them. The scathing introduction almost moderated my position towards their Invitation to Evil, but in the past, they allowed an immigration debate involving the Minutemen to descend into anarchy and then dissolve before ever even starting. They also engaged in a pathetic attempt to bar military recruiters from campus because of their ban against discriminatory hiring practices.

Untold millions of heroic men and women have and will continue to serve their country; answering the call of duty to defend her against dictators like the one that Columbia University invited to speak; yet they relegate the sacrifice of these heroes whose blood cleanses the streets of those dictatorships to that of just another employee seeking a job on campus, and then try to bar them altogether. Their commitment to free speech leaves something to be desired.

Mahmoud’s Traveling Circus ended as well as could be expected, but it served no purpose other than to confirm that which we already knew. Ahmedinejad stood there smiling smugly the whole time, he didn’t answer any of the questions posed to him with anything other than obfuscation and disdain, and his appearance probably didn’t add much to the debate over his or Iran’s intentions. The only purpose his bellowing served was to stoke the fires of US resentment with those Iranians still listening by showing how he stood up to the arrogance and debauchery of the Great Satan.

So to aforementioned bastions of liberalism and others like you:

My sincerest thanks. I salute you. Just keep Movin’On.

I’d Like To Give You A Swift Kick…

Media Bias, Military/War, Political Correctness, Politics, Terrorism

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

Democrats continue to choose treachery over patriotism, siding with our enemies while ignoring the realities on the ground in Iraq as well as throughout the rest of the world. While there is now some Democrat infighting over MoveOn.org’s recent character assassination of 4-Star US Army General David Petraeus (and rightfully so), there is no public Democratic Party disavowal of the attack on this American patriot. As a result, there is increasing outrage among military families and average Americans over these horrendous tactics designed specifically to divide the country. The only 2 conclusions one can draw from Democratic silence over MoveOn.org’s cheap shot courtesy of the New York Times are either political cowardice or outright approval.
