Hillary and China...

.

Let’s say Hillary pulls it off and finds herself once again in the Oval office but this time it is her behind the desk making the decisions once again. Madame President Hillary finds herself looking at a formidable military superpower in China and thinks back of all of those political donations that both her and Bill took during their campaigns. How does she handle a military superpower like China that has quickly advanced in a short period of time with technological assistance from Bill’s eight years in office?… IBD provides some interesting info and thoghts on this...

"Like Bill, Hillary would pursue a hippie "denuclearization" policy that ends testing of nuclear weapons in our stockpile, while slashing the budget for developing defense systems to protect the U.S. from incoming enemy ICBMs."

"It's no accident that China suddenly gained the capacity to launch pre-emptive nuclear strikes against us. It happened on President Clinton's watch, when he systematically dismantled security at Los Alamos and other defense labs as part of his naive "engagement policy" with Beijing."

"Chinese spies infested the labs and stole technological know-how on five warheads and design codes to two others, including the Pentagon's crown jewel, the W-88 lightweight mini-warhead fired from nuclear subs."

"In doing so, the Cox Commission found, the Chinese saved a tremendous amount of time and money and were able to improve their nuclear arsenal so it could more reliably threaten U.S. cities in a showdown over Taiwan."

"Despite all these concerns, Hillary Clinton wants to re-establish her husband's "strategic partnership" with China, making it clear to us that she would be dangerously incapable of taming the nuclear dragon rising from the Pacific."

We now have a interceptor missile program that has come a long way in protecting the American homeland and many of our allies. What would Hillary do?

But let’s not forget Hillary and her Democratic friends in Congress are once again doing whatever possible to hinder the President and other common sense members in their efforts to protect Americans and the homeland…

"Rep. Jim Moran, Democrat of Virginia, said he assumes the target for the bunker busters is Iran. Expect Moran to use his position on the House Appropriations subcommittee on defense to try to block the White House request for $88 million to equip B-2 stealth bombers with the capacity to carry a new bomb."

"Called the massive ordnance penetrator, this bomb can penetrate hardened targets deep underground. It is six times as big as the current 5,000-pound bunker buster."

"It is ideal, in other words, for destroying subterranean complexes such as the Iranian facility in Natanz, where Tehran is enriching uranium and could produce weapons-grade material beneath several yards of concrete and as much 75 feet of dirt."

"To pretend that Tehran is not a threat, to deny there's a no real war between terrorists and the West, and to cut funding for missile defense in Europe by $139 million is evidence of the Democrats' impotence."


News From the Front: "They got Joe"...

.

Word has come down that the P.C. crowd has once again taken another "Victim" in their efforts to correct all the symbols out their that might offend selected groups...

It seems Paramount Pictures is seeking a more friendly name for the well known "Joe" and is looking for a more P.C. name for the
"Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity"


"No longer will G.I. Joe be a U.S. Special Forces soldier, the "Real American Hero" who, in his glory days, single-handedly won World War II."


"In the politically correct new millennium, G.I. Joe bears no resemblance to the original."


"Paramount has confirmed that in the movie, the name G.I. Joe will become an acronym for "Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity" — an international, coed task force charged with defeating bad guys. It will no longer stand for government issued, as in issued by the American government."

Maybe we need to come up with the "Special Force" Ken doll dressed up and carrying a briefcase full of United Nations resolutions...

Wind Farm ~West Virginia~

.






Took a ride out near Thomas West Virginia to look at the windfarm out there that has been operating for sometime now. The wind was 12-15knts and the view of many wind towers was impressive and worth the ride. Stopped and talked to several area residents and heard no direct complaints of the wind farm and only a mention of people living next to the towers hearing noises at times but nothing to complain about.




I have read many times that the major problem with these wind towers are complaints from those who do not want them to be visible. I found the towers interesting and little intrusion to the area mountains and well worth the ride out there to see them. In fact I found numerous people stopping to view the towers, take photos, and view the landscape...

Health Crisis, Not Healthcare Crisis…

. Senator from Mass. example of "Health" crisis or "Healthcare" crisis?...


Republican Governor Mike Huckabee had a great statement in tonight’s Republican Presidential Candidate debate…


“We have a health crisis, not a healthcare crisis”…


Which is very much true. We spend way too much money on healthcare to treat chronic diseases that can be prevented if we took responsibility for our actions.


A prominent Democratic Presidential Candidate has made herself known for advocating “Healthcare for All” and along with her party would love to have us dependent on their healthcare system. Instead of promoting personal responsibility for our own health they would rather have us begging and depending on the government for “provided” drugs…


Imagine the healthcare we could provide if we eliminated “Health” crisis like the example shown above…


Hillary's Chinese Take-out...

.






Just a few weeks ago we watched as Norman Hsu skipped town while out on bail for bundling donations, $850,000 worth, to Hillary Clinton's election fund. They chased him down and found him hiding out on a train and took him back to the big house where he belongs...

It has been said many times that Hillary's strong point is that she has seen the operations of the inner Whitehouse and maybe she picked up some tactics from Slick-Willies administration. Remember the Buddist Monks who were sworn to poverty making some impressive donations to Bill's re-election fund?

A couple of staff writers over at the L.A. Times have an interesting story about the recent donations that Hillary has been getting from the Chinese community...

"Dishwashers, waiters and others whose jobs and dilapidated home addresses seem to make them unpromising targets for political fundraisers are pouring $1,000 and $2,000 contributions into Clinton's campaign treasury. In April, a single fundraiser in an area long known for its gritty urban poverty yielded a whopping $380,000. When Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) ran for president in 2004, he received $24,000 from Chinatown."
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-donors19oct19,0,4231217.story?coll=la-home-center


As with any story it is important to do some follow up investigation to check facts about a story. It appears the Staff writers went to check on some of those who made the impressive donations to Hillary's election fund...


Missing persons

The tenement at 44 Henry St. was listed in Clinton's campaign reports as the home of Shu Fang Li, who reportedly gave $1,000.

In a recent visit, a man, apparently drunk, was asleep near the entrance to the neighboring beauty parlor, the Nice Hair Salon.

A tenant living in the apartment listed as Li's address said through a translator that she had not heard of him, although she had lived there for the last 10 years.

A man named Liang Zheng was listed as having contributed $1,000. The address given was a large apartment building on East 194th Street in the Bronx, but no one by that name could be located there.

Census figures for 2000 show the median family income for the area was less than $21,000. About 45% of the population was living below the poverty line, more than double the city average.

In the busy heart of East Broadway, beneath the Manhattan Bridge, is a building that is listed as the home of Sang Cheung Lee, also reported to have given $1,000. Trash was piled in the dimly lighted entrance hall. Neighbors said they knew of no one with Lee's name there; they knocked on one another's doors in a futile effort to find him.

Salespeople at a store on Canal Street were similarly baffled when asked about Shih Kan Chang, listed as working there and having given $1,000. The store sells purses, jewelry and novelty Buddha statues. Employees said they had not heard of Chang.

Another listed donor, Yi Min Liu, said he did not make the $1,000 contribution in April that was reported in his name. He said he attended a banquet for Clinton but did not give her money.

Senator Jim Webb "A Part of History"...

.
Virginia Democratic Senator Jim Webb’s signature on the document condemning Rush Limbaugh for referring to Jesse Adam Macbeth as a “Phony Soldier”…

Now this Macbeth guy is the “Soldier” that claimed that he was a Army Ranger who had been in Iraq and Afghanistan where he saw and participated in many atrocious acts towards the Iraqi citizens. He claimed receiving the Bronze Star and Purple heart. Macbeth even made a 20-minute Internet video on peace films.org claiming the following:


Superiors told him "our job over there is to strike fear in the hearts of the Iraqis ... to be brutal and to not feel" and that "the Geneva Convention doesn't mean crap."

He would "do night raids, pull people out, on their knees and zip-tied," and if a man didn't answer the way he wanted him to, he "would shoot his youngest kid and keep going."

"By my hand alone ... almost 200 people were taken out by me. That's just a rough estimate. A lot of them at close range ... they would actually feel the hot muzzle of my rifle on their forehead ... we'd do stuff that would scare them first ... beat 'em up or kick 'em or hit the wife ... slaughtering 30-40 people a night sometimes, women and children ... I was trained, you know, in all the Ranger school, 18 months of that crap ... I got disappointed in my country ... but I didn't say anything because I would have been locked up."

"Other things they told us to do, man, we were ordered to go into a mosque. This really hurts me a lot. My nightmares come mostly from this. ... We infiltrated the mosque ... a couple hundred of people of all ages were praying ... we started slaughtering them, we started shooting them, started taking them out. ... We would burn their bodies, hang the bodies from the rafters ... after a while, it's just sickening to think that I took part in that. ..."

"Kids threw rocks at us before and the guard command officer told us to take them out. ... Our job was just kill, kill, kill."

"I'm so disappointed in my country. I'm ashamed to have actually served in Iraq."



Fact is this Kid got booted out of the military after 44 days and did not complete basic training. Never went to Iraq or Afghanistan. Never received the Bronze Star. Never received the Purple Heart.

He did apply for Veterans benefits and received a 5 month sentence in prison. He did make the Internet video and become a hero to the Anti-war Left.






Democratic Virginia Senator Jim Webb was a U.S. Marine who served in Vietnam. He earned the Navy Cross, the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and two Purple Hearts.


But yet Senator Webb signed the letter authored by Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid condemning Rush Limbaugh for referring to Macbeth as a “Phony Soldier”. With little research and reading of the actual transcript it is apparent that Limbaugh was referring to Macbeth and “Soldiers” like Macbeth. Forty other Democratic Senators signed this condemning letter authored by Democratic Senator Reid and discussed on the floor of the united States Congress…


Question is does Democratic Senator Jim Webb still support this letter that he signed condemning Rush Limbaugh for calling “Soldiers” like Macbeth “Phony Soldiers”? Would he sign this same letter now if he had the opportunity? Will he comment on signing the letter now?


The better question may be what would Democratic Senator Jim Webb do with a “Soldier” like Macbeth if he had him in his unit while in Vietnam?…


Fortunately Rush Limbaugh took the opportunity to take this historic document with the signatures of 41 Democratic United States Senators and offer it for sale to benefit a charity on behalf of military families. The Marine Corp - Law Enforcement charity has already donated more then $29,000,000 to children of fallen military and Law enforcement personnel in scholarships and assistance in higher education. http://www.mc-lef.org/


The auction of this historic document with the signature of the Democratic Senator from Virginia, Jim Webb, raised a top bid of $2,100,100 which was quickly matched by Rush Limbaugh for a total of $4,200,200 donated to the Marine Corp - Law Enforcement fund…


Rush Limbaugh also challenged all 41 Democratic Senators who signed this historic document to match the amount, or part of, with a donation to the same charity. Still waiting for one of the Senators to step up to the plate…

Sandy Berger Yard Sale?...

.

Just left Rush Limbaugh’s website where the standing bid for the “Harry Reid” document that is offered on E*bay is at over $2,000,000 with still 3 hours to go…


Just think of all the potential money Sandy Berger can make on E*bay with all those documents that he swiped from the Archives!!! No wonder he was stuffing Clinton administration documents down his shorts to get them out of the Archives building. If Hillary and Bill do not come across with the appropriate cash to keep Bill’s documents about his lack of action against terrorism off the market, a “E*baying Sandy will Go”!!!… Interesting how Sandy is now on Hillary’s team as an advisor…


This is the document where Harry and the gang got together on Congress’ time to condemn Rush for what they think was a smear on all military personnel. In fact the DEMOCRATIC party took a miss-quote, what are the chances there(?), and ran without it. For anybody who pays attention longer then Harry and his school yard gang, they know that Rush was talking about a soldier(?) who claimed to have been in Irag and made many false accusations since proved lies…




Good looking Document and you can download it on http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/ and YES, DEMOCRATIC Virginia State Senator Jim Webb’s signature is there for all to see… I wonder if Webb would still want his signature there now that they know how actual “Phoney” the soldier Rush was talking about actually is? Or maybe Webb is securing himself a place in the Clinton gang like Sandy did???…

Congress approval rating at 11%...

.


Once again it was reported in the media today that the approval rating for the Congress, which is now controlled by the majority Democratic party. is at an ALL TIME LOW of 11%…

One productive thing, and there have only been a few, that has come out of Congress is the H.R. resolution #697 which commends Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre for setting the record of most career touchdown passes.

Now some people may feel that Congress needs to be doing more “Important work for the People” as they love to say. But with the wing-nut majority leaders that we have in both houses of Congress “Football Resolutions” might be the safest for all…

Let them concentrate on congressional resolutions for “Cheese-Heads” instead of screwing something really important like the S-CHIP program. The Democrats tried pushing a wasteful and very expensive S-chip program that the President stood up to and signed a veto to it…

The Democratic Party has worked hard to spin it that the President does not care about children and even produced a 12 year old boy that has been injured and delivered their “Democratic Message” asking why the President wanted to keep kids from getting help from S-CHIP…

As usual the truth and facts of the program has come out and Princess Pelosi continues to lose support for her override attempt. In fact the Investor Business Daily provides some interesting facts on the boys family and their choices when in fact they have a strong financial status and could afford insurance…
“FreeRepublic.com have checked out the Frost family's bona fides. Turns out they live in a home worth an estimated $300,000. Graeme's father, Halsey, owns commercial real estate and has his own small business.”
Graeme and sibling Gemma both attend expensive private schools. The Frosts have two other school-age children. Their parents chose not to buy private insurance even though they have significant assets, a decent income and, as insurance bloggers found out, there are plans for a family of six for as little as $452 a month.”

Now if the “Majority Team” got their wishes who could end up paying for the Improved S-CHIP program?

“Under the Democrats' proposed expansion, says the National Center for Public Policy Research, "it is not inconceivable that a parent with one child with an income of $13,690 will be funding benefits for two children in a family of four with an income of $82,600."
