Gah. Thanks for catching my back. Fatfingered it and didn’t look back. PIMF.

Yo. I know there is some crazy liberal bias on pretty much everthing but FOX. I was referring to the e-mail. I mean, it does read like a conservative snark piece. I was just saying that if someone is willing to write that e-mail, couldn’t they blow that story up. And I’ve read Stossel’s books. I just want someone who has the “smoking gun” of anti-americanism in the MSM to step forward.

That’s all I was saying.

Fly your flag today, Americans. Enjoy a great day and celebrate, but with remembrance, for that is the best way to pay proper tribute to the Patriots who gave you this home you love.

Indeed. With much gratitude.

p.s. FL, you’d suffocate as a moonbat, long before my scorn :)

Ouch. Remind me not to turn into a moonbat anytime soon, if only to avoid the flaming sword of your scorn.

241 years ago, a band of radicals, not content with an unacceptable status quo of oppression and tyranny, took a stand which they fully expected would cost most of their lives.

We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Upon this foundation is built the greatest nation the world has ever known, for no nation before it has given each and every citizen as much power over their own lives as this one. These men would have spit in your face if you called them conservatives, meaning what the word means today. They were not interested in conserving what was, they were interested in enhancing toward what could be. They were revolutionaries, in the most sanitary use that word has ever known, engaged in the most noble purpose imaginable, true Liberty.

Lawyers today say that this document is merely a public letter, that it is not an official document of our government. They do so only to sidestep the obvious references to God and God’s authority under which the Declaration’s authors submitted themselves. The government follows the birth of the nation, not the other way around. Without this document and the sentiments, honor and sacrifice behind it, there would be no government, no Constitution, NO LIBERTY.

Most of the men who signed that Declaration did indeed lose their lives and their fortunes to the conflict which made this nation possible, but their sacred honor is eternal, and is the first of so many things that we, their national descendants, must remember on this day.

Fly your flag today, Americans. Enjoy a great day and celebrate, but with remembrance, for that is the best way to pay proper tribute to the Patriots who gave you this home you love.

That is very scary but those PC kids grow up (unlike the hard core media libs) at least half once they become responsible will become conservatives and any media that is half right is four tenths more Conservative than now.

IMHO it’s happening now and has been for years, I think the publics’ influence on the Senate response to a horrid immigration bill could/should mark a turning point in citizen influenced politics.

This is independence day, “get the word out, let everybody know, how to take those sons of b*tches down”

Anyone note it’s referred to as “Yon’s massacre”? Kind of a weak attempt to ‘pin it’ on and associate it with Michael Yon.
Not once in Al Qaeda is mentioned….

Yon’s Massacre
North Korean Killing Fields (or Cambodian?)
Arab treatment of women

welcome back Pablo, or have I just not noticed your commenting the last 6 months or so?

Hi shooter. I’ve been around, just not a lot. Capitalism is a harsh master.

Yon’s story doesn’t get attention because it is humiliating.

It is humiliating because it is obvious that we media – and our allies in the state department, the legal trade, the NGOs, the Democratic Party, the UN, etc., – can’t do squat about such determined use of force.

Our words, images, arguments and skills can’t stop the killing. Only the rough soldiers and their guns can solve the problem, and we won’t admit that fact because the admission would weaken our influence and our claim to social status.

So we pretend Yon’s massacre – and the North Korean killing fields, the Arab treatment of women, the Arab hatred of Israel, etc. – doesn’t exist, and instead focus our emotions and attention on the somewhat-bad domestic things that we can ‘fix’ with our DC-based allies. Things such as Abu Ghraib, wiretapping, etc. When we ‘fix’ them, then we get status, applause, power, new jobs, ego, etc.

Please don’t be surprised. We media are an interest group not much different from the automakers, the unions, and the farmers.

Nonfactor “sheesh, now the media is using a bunch of red herrings – what has the world come to? can’t trust anyone any longer…”

Then they truly are treasonous

I already assume that of everyone with a (D) by their name, or in the leftist press, unless they affirmatively prove otherwise. They get no benefit of the doubt from me.

It would be hilarious if the effect of these Bozos hadn’t been so serious for so many years.

So true. Do you want to think of something really scary? Probably not, but think of the world of tomorrow when today’s teens ultimately become the voice of the MSM. Imagine teens growing up in a world of “PC” liberalism, anti-Americanism, anti-semitism, anti-military, anti-conservatism, (we could go on and on). Then imagine what the world will be like. I shudder to think of it.

only today, it’s Oxy-Contin they’re hearing from.

It would be hilarious if the effect of these Bozos hadn’t been so serious for so many years.

So many of us get hammered with liberal bias on so many different fronts that people don’t notice the difference.

The MSM is a very powerful liberal tool controlled by liberal Executives listening to liberal masters.

Scooter Skates! in big bold type.

Not Scooter Libby sentence commuted by President Bush, but Scooter skates. I think most people in Seattle realize the P-I is a leftist rag, but it is still disturbing to see the “editorial” on the front page. Agenda, what agenda.

Bernard Goldberg has written two books on the subject. You might want to look him up. John “The Scourge of the Liberal Media” Stossel still works on the inside and is quite willing to point out how insular the leftist newsroom culture is.

But then, if you get all your news from CNN and MSNBC and NYT, you wouldn’t know that.

They’d have to be considered as producing the journalistic equivalent of Yugos or Ladas, if the analogy is to ring true.

Crap for an audience they hold in contempt.

With rare exceptions like Yon.

I think that analysis is spot-on. We’re being fed liberal crap from a bunch of 1960′s burn-outs who went “chasing rabbit” but never discovered they went “too far”. The Red Queen’s on her head and all they can remember is what the doorman said: “feed your head” – only today, it’s Oxy-Contin they’re hearing from.

Diverse Group Allegedly in British Plot

The Highlights:
LONDON – They had diverse backgrounds, coming from countries around the globe, but all shared youth and worked in medicine. They also had a common goal, authorities suspect: to bring havoc and death to the heart of Britain.

Is that all the shared? – “youth and worked in medicine”?
Pathetic.
