[...] Update: All right, here’s a little actual content for this post. The lovely KP comments on science and religion by invoking a subject for which Bryan’s criticized her several times on this site: Often when people bring up things like, “How could God allow the Holocaust or genocide in Darfur?” my response is “How can WE allow those things?” We have the ability to deal with the evils of the world, and more often than not, we CHOOSE not to and then try and blame God for not stopping it. The Holocaust is actually a perfect example (and indeed the one most commonly raised by nonbelievers to prove that God cannot exist). We know we had the power to stop Hitler from killing Jews, because we ultimately did stop him. We just didn’t do it for a really really long time, and six million Jews perished while the world sat by and watched. So, the question really should be, what is wrong with us that we can sit by and allow horrible things — things we have the ability to stop — to continue to happen in the world? [...]

[...] Still, it’s revealing that the Democrats stand up when the President mentions Darfur–where there are no US troops and won’t be any US troops–but sit on their hands when he mentions Iraq–where there are US troops and where there will be US troops fighting hard for a while to come. What possesses a group of people to take Sudan more seriously than Iraq as a crisis? What possesses a group of people to rank the importance of international crises in an inverse relationship to those crises’ effect on US national security? I already skewered one Democrat over this phenomenon last month, so I’ll just apply that post to the entire Democrat party minus Joe Lieberman. What a bunch of unserious buffoons. [...]

Illegal immigration a major problem now?? It’s been a major problem in my home state of Texas for years. I guess since the problem is now showing up in 49 states, it’s time to do something about it ( I didnt include Hawaii…yet).
I suspect when these pesky fire-ants and africanized bees make their way to New York, perhaps we may do something about them as well.

Michelle, Kirsten, Ann Coulter, et al, looks like “FOX” news to me. It’s so great to see such beautiful women with substance and intellect by the boatload. Great to listen to AND easy on the eyes. What’s not to like?

Michelle IS getting hotter as if that’s possible. Somebody also mentioned Michelle guest hosting the Factor. That was DOPE. First Laura Ingraham, then Michelle. Great surprises. THEN, the other day, Tammy Bruce was filling in for Ingraham on her radio show.

I demand that Michelle and Kirsten fill in for H & C. That would be nice to watch.

Michelle looks stunning! Absolutely gorgeous. Who, despite sounding as if she has a cold, looks as beautiful?

I agree with her “top five”.

My top two are:

1. war on Islamofascism

2. illegal aliens/border control

Michelle really could be in line for her own TV gig…she’s easily the best looking woman to grace Fox News (hell, all cable news for that matter) and her delivery and on-camera presence keeps getting better. Plus, she has what so many lack: a real sense of hunmor.

Even a weekly gig would be great. C’mon Michelle, work on this will ya?

oh, oh, and when a liberal hears about a new tv show from a conservative, a liberal won’t watch it unless its recomended by the ny times…and when a liberal is neatly categorized to conveniently fit someone’s massive, inane generalization they role their eyes and type a sarcastic response.

crr6 basically proved my point. Liberals tend to only talk about serious humanitarian issues only when other liberals are talking about them, and tend to refuse to talk about the same issues when conservatives are talking about them, apparently under the impression that agreeing with a conservative about anything is the unpardonable liberal sin. All of this is even more true when conservatives are actually doing something about the issue at hand. Then, you get liberal carping, second-guessing and whining–about the conservatives’ perfidy or incompetence or other failures, but not about the gravity of the issue itself or any notion that hard problems are in fact difficult to solve.

When a liberal hears a conservative talking about a serious humanitarian issue, the first thing to come out of the liberal’s mouth is usually some variation of “Well what took you so long?” That’s soon followed by some variation of “But that’s not why you’re really interested,” which is followed by a few theories as to why the conservative is really interested–theories mostly made up whole by the liberal out of disconnected bits of fact. And all of this occurs when, of course, the liberal himself hasn’t uttered a peep about that issue. But the more the conservative speaks on the issue, the less seriously the liberal tends to take both the issue itself and the conservative’s statements on the issue. The liberal will say “A few statements here and there don’t matter” when the conservative speaks, even though the standard liberal MO calls for “raising awareness” and “drawing attention” to their own issues–a strategy that is itself nothing more than making a few statements.

The liberal won’t decide to read up and get interested in the issue until Richard Gere or Angelina Jolie or some other Hollywood lighthead says something about it. Then, said liberal tends to get right on board. And pretend that the conservative wasn’t talking about the same issue all along.

Of course, none of this describes Kirsten. I’m just still trying to figure out why in her thinking Darfur merits our attention (when we all know where such attention leads) but Iraq didn’t.
