Bill Clinton and Al Gore’s ‘Phony Soldiers’

Talker Rush Limbaugh is under fire for being falsely accused of saying that any U.S. soldier who comes out against the war is a "phony soldier." He did not, of course, say such a thing. Rush was actually talking about a man named Jesse Macbeth, who was touted by anti-war activists as a soldier who came out against the war, but it turned out later that Macbeth never served in the military at all.

Weather Stations Giving Bad Global Warming Data, A Problem Ignored

A few months ago, the blogosphere and talk radio were abuzz with the story of how the nation's various weather stations and temperature reading devices have been improperly located or badly constructed and how the data received from these improper devices must be suspected as inaccurate. Since global warming research often uses this suspect data that is gleaned from these failed stations, it must therefore call into question the accuracy of the entire theory as its conclusions are derived from likely false data. Still, even as the blogosphere and talk radio blasted the news, the MSM ignores this explosive story.

The Hill: GOP Protecting Talk Radio ‘Profits”

Rush Limbaugh has done it again. He's driven the left mad. The lies about Limbaugh that Democrat Party House members are promulgating have rekindled talk of the dreaded Fairness Doctrine.

Getting Rid of American Holidays in Public Schools

A Murderer’s Memorial Plaque in Minnesota and Other Maudlin Tributes

In another example of the upside down nature of our nation today, a man who murdered his ex-girlfriend and then killed himself is getting a nice memorial plaque in a Minnesota kid's ballpark because his love for the kids was "greatly appreciated."

NYTimes: Thomas Friedman Wants America to Get Over 9/11

Thomas Friedman thinks you are "stupid" if you still care about the atrocity committed against this country by Islamofascists in New York on 9/11/2001.

Why Won’t the AP Describe the Taliban as Terrorists?

This AP report is a perfect example of how the western media hasn't the temerity to call things as they are, a perfect example of how it soft-sells the truth for fear of violating those vaunted codes of politically correct conduct -- and why we could lose this war with a radical Islam that isn't afraid of how they are perceived by their enemies.

Anti-War Forces Haven’t Won Battle for American’s Heart and Minds

In the run up to the 2006 midterms, all the media talking heads and political pundits were talking about how the GOP was losing because the country was "sick of the war" and there was a wide spread assumption that large scale protests were proof that the anti-war lot had won the debate for American's hearts and minds. After all, millions seemed to be marching in protest against the war the country over and the TV news frequently showed these giant bands of misfits parading the streets.

Is It News or Chinese Propaganda?

There has been study after study proving the leftward tilt of the American media establishment, so the constant denials by that same media sounds increasingly absurd and hard to believe. But, it is one thing to have people who truly believe their own ideology is the best guide for the future and base their honest actions on that belief and quite another to act unethically in pursuit of their professions. Unfortunately, there seems far more of the latter these days than the former. And here is just another example of the latter to dishearten all of us.
