Being shut out

I agree that Glenn should write a letter to WaPo contesting these lies. Whether they will run it is another thing. My local paper won't publish my letters to the editor. My local paper also has a "two-cent line", where people call in and leave short messages. In a recent speak out column, a conservative "quoted" Lincoln, the fake quote that Glenn exposed a couple months ago. I called in and left a two cent message that Lincoln never said it and that it was invented by J. Michael Waller published in the Washington Times Insight Magazine in 2003. I called that in last week, still hasn't appeared in the paper.

Original article: The Islamic enemy within

private and public

The problem most religious people have is the inability to separate public from private. Religious beliefs are fine on a personal level. They provide guidance through life. Where people go wrong is to think that if only every one believed as I do, the world would be perfect. You can't force your beliefs onto others, no matter how much you'd like to.

Revoke her immunity

Monica was giving limited immunity on the condition she would tell the whole truth about these firings. It's pretty clear that she was evasive and determined to not tell what really happened. I say revoke her immunity and prosecute her for her crimes.

facts schmacts

Facts schmacts, who cares about facts? I got my beliefs. That's all they care about. Evidence is meaningless to them. I read letters in my local paper every day from people like this. Anything that disagrees with their beliefs is "liberal media lies". Bush is a great president, it's just those damn lying liberals that hate him. Anyone that doens't agree with Bush suffers from Bush Derangement Syndrome. All they have to do is dismiss what you say as liberal, and it has no more value. What can you do with people like this? They are beyond reach. These people aren't persuaded by reason, they are persuaded by emotion. That's the difference between liberals and conservatives. Liberals make reason based arguments, while conservatives make emotional based arguments. Unfortunately humans aren't the most rational beings and emotional based arguments tend to be more persuasive. So my question is, how do we use that to our advantage? How do we add an emotional based argument to our reason based arguments? Any ideas?

Electing Kings

Krauthammer is a total fool. A week or two ago he wrote a column that in America we don't elect a president, we elect a king. I'm amazed that Glenn (or anyone else for that matter) didn't comment on it. Just goes to show his thought process though. So of course he is for bombing and killing the Palestinians. It's not like they are people, they are just palestinians. Everyone does this but some more then others, we stop seeing people and start seeing the label. Gen. Janis Karpinski was on Olbermann a couple days ago talking about the Taguba report. She noted whenever she would try to get medical attention for iraqi prisoners, or food whatever. The response would almost always be, well they are just Iraqi's and no aid would be given. We as a society have to evolve beyond this. We need to stop labeling and see everyone as people.

Our "liberal" media at work

Yet another fine example of our "liberal" media at work. We have no idea who they have been listening to, but the "liberal" media tells us it's just the bad guys. So don't worry. How hard is this story to understand? FISA is a secret court that is not open to the public. The Bush admin doesn't want to tell a secret court who they are listening to. Now ask yourself if they are only listening to the bad guys, why are they afraid to tell this secret court about it? What is the only logical explanation for that? They are listening to people they aren't allowed to. Yet our "liberal" media won't ever report the story that way. They bend over backwards to give every benefit of the doubt to this completely lawless administration. If only our media was liberal, Bush would of never been elected once, yet alone twice.

dem plan won't work

Well to the poster that said he is angry with the dems, I am too. I believe they could be going faster but are afraid too. It seems they are moving slowly for a reason. They don't want to be accused of "targeting Bush". So they think a steady drip drip drip of this administrations crimes will lead to a huge public swell demanding impeachment. Well if that's their plan, I don't think it's going to work. One most americans don't watch the news or pay attention to anything outside of of their personal lives. The US attorney scandal shows that no one cares, most people don't know what it's about and the media isn't going to bother explaining it to them. Hell even Keith Olberman didn't cover the vote caging revelations at Dep AG McNulty's last appearance before the house judiciary committee. Vote caging is a felony. The GOP kept over a million votes from being counted, of people who had the right to vote. Yet the media won't report it. You got to go to England to watch the BBC if you want to learn about it. If you don't know what I'm talking about go to gregpalast.com, and thank the "liberal" media for not informing you about it.
