Tigermike 3,053 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Monday, November 13, 2006THE SURRENDER BEGINS Well .. if the Islamic fascists dared to think last week that the American voters signaled surrender, they can pretty much rest assured that this is the case as we begin the week after. If anybody thought for a second with Nancy Pelosi sitting there in the Oval Office pledging cooperation with George W. Bush that she was anything other than a Leftist radical, think again. She has already said she's supporting John Murtha for House Majority Leader. Get ready for an interesting two years...the door swings to the left on Capitol Hill. Sure....Nancy Pelosi is doing everything she can to change her image from San Francisco Moonbat to one of a middle-of-the road moderate Democrat. But people who really know Nancy Pelosi know better. The good news for Republicans over the next two years is that she can't hide who she is. And why are all of these supposedly new moderate members of Congress going to vote for Pelosi as Speaker of the House? Who knows. So now she's saying she supports Murtha for Majority Leader. This suddenly makes Steny Hoyer look like a conservative. So Pelosi is for Murtha....the same John Murtha that is calling for unconditional surrender to Al-Qaeda in Iraq. This is the same John Murtha that jumped to conclusions, all but accusing our troops of war crimes in Iraq. Yup...that John Murtha. So don't let the conservative hairdo and attire fool you...Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi is a huge Leftist....as far to the Left as they come in the United States Congress. The Nancy Pelosi will also pass over Jane Harman for the chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee. Harman, a California Democrat, is accepted as the Democrat's most knowledgeable member of the House on Security and Intelligence issues. There's a problem though. Harman supports the war on Islamic Fascism. Pelosi wants the House Intelligence Committee to be chaired by someone who doesn't support that war. Make sense to you? And let's not forget the actions of President Bush. The very day after the Democrat victory Bush fires Don Rumsfeld. Should Rumsfeld have gone? Perhaps so .. but could there be a worse day than the day after an election that changes the face of power in Washington? Islamic fascist leaders do not understand the nuances of power in Washington. They see Democrats (1) calling for withdrawal from the battlefield in Iraq; and (2) the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld. The day after the Democrats score their victory they get Rumsfeld's resignation. Then within a weak major Democrat players start their withdrawal chant again. Considering the above, why wouldn't the Islamic terrorists believe that they have scored a major victory, and that America is weakening before their eyes? http://boortz.com/nuze/200611/11132006.html#pelosi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTiger 13,017 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I rarely listen to talk radio, but I saw Boortz on a tv program a couple of weeks ago. What a loon. First he denied that there was a civil war in Iraq, then denied that we had a civil war in this country in the 1860s. I suppose one might quibble over the first one, but no civil war in the US in the 1860s? After watching this guy, I had added insights into the Wingers on this board.

There never has been a 'Civil War' here in the USA. There was a war, of course, and Boortz isn't disputing that. The war between the North and the South was one of succession, of the South from the rest of the Union, not control over the whole country. Russia had a true civil war, where various parties fought for control of the whole country. Not so in our case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't try to educate TT about history, especially that long ago; he still doesn't even understand the cause and effect of Chamberlin's appeasement of Hitler in the 1930's and the resulting World War. Of course, back on topic, he will live first-hand Pelosi's appeasment of al Queda in the present... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermike 3,053 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Here is a book review some of you might be interested in. I've read it and it's an interesting and eye opening book. America Alone: The End of the World as We Know ItEditorial Reviews Book Description In this, his first major book, Mark Steyn--probably the most widely read, and wittiest, columnist in the English-speaking world--takes on the great poison of the twenty-first century: the anti-Americanism that fuels both Old Europe and radical Islam. America, Steyn argues, will have to stand alone. The world will be divided between America and the rest; and for our sake America had better win. From the Inside Flap It’s the end of the world as we know it… Someday soon, you might wake up to the call to prayer from a muezzin. Europeans already are. And liberals will still tell you that "diversity is our strength"—while Talibanic enforcers cruise Greenwich Village burning books and barber shops, the Supreme Court decides sharia law doesn’t violate the "separation of church and state," and the Hollywood Left decides to give up on gay rights in favor of the much safer charms of polygamy. If you think this can’t happen, you haven’t been paying attention, as the hilarious, provocative, and brilliant Mark Steyn—the most popular conservative columnist in the English-speaking world—shows to devastating effect in this, his first and eagerly awaited new book on American and global politics. The future, as Steyn shows, belongs to the fecund and the confident. And the Islamists are both, while the West—wedded to a multiculturalism that undercuts its own confidence, a welfare state that nudges it toward sloth and self-indulgence, and a childlessness that consigns it to oblivion—is looking ever more like the ruins of a civilization. Europe, laments Steyn, is almost certainly a goner. The future, if the West has one, belongs to America alone—with maybe its cousins in brave Australia. But America can survive, prosper, and defend its freedom only if it continues to believe in itself, in the sturdier virtues of self-reliance (not government), in the centrality of family, and in the conviction that our country really is the world’s last best hope. Steyn argues that, contra the liberal cultural relativists, America should proclaim the obvious: we do have a better government, religion, and culture than our enemies, and we should spread America’s influence around the world—for our own sake as well as theirs. Mark Steyn’s America Alone is laugh-out-loud funny—but it will also change the way you look at the world. It is sure to be the most talked-about book of the year. About the Author Mark Steyn’s writing on war, politics, the arts, and culture can be read around the world from the Atlantic Monthly to The Australian. In the United States his column appears in the Chicago Sun-Times, the New York Sun, the Washington Times, the Orange County Register, and other newspapers. He is also National Review’s "Happy Warrior," a columnist for the New Criterion, and resident obituarist for the Atlantic Monthly. In Canada, he is senior columnist for the country’s newest political magazine, the Western Standard, and literary correspondent for the country’s biggest-selling general interest magazine, Maclean’s. In addition, he appears in many other publications, from the Jerusalem Post to Hawke’s Bay Today in New Zealand. Born in Toronto, he lives in New Hampshire.

But you make comment on writing an article for The National Review. Your objectivity is overwhelming. When was he nominated as a candidate for the 'bipartisan award.' And if there is an award like that, how long before Pelosi, Reid or Murtha receive it? No his reason for writing the article was not "to affect the elections", but to inform people of a great world wide menace. But then if he were a writer for moveon.org or the Daily Kos, you would be singing his praises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
