This is why I call my blog The BIGMIKERANT. Stuff like this just yanks my chain and makes me want to smack somebody upside the head. I see so much of this crap it makes me want to be a news editor so I could tear this junk up in the writers face and ask them what in the hell were they thinking!!. Somebody ought to tell the other side to all these slanted biased stories. One sided bovine defecation.
Here is a bit of good old manufactured by the media "fluff" attack political non-news for you.
Totally unbelievable low brow plant eating lawyer liking crap.
Political candidate and former lawyer turned actor turned politician Fred D. Thompson, has a story HYPERLINK http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wn_report/2007/09/14/2007-09-14_fred_thompson_unprepared_to_answer_on_te.html http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wn_report/2007/09/14/2007-09-14_fred_thompson_unprepared_to_answer_on_te.html written about him which basically says he doesn't have an answer for the actions taken by the Republicans during the Terri Schiavo debacle from several years ago. You remember the debate right? Can her respirator be turned off by her husband or not? Right to Die versus Right to Live, Is she awake and aware or brain dead and barely functioning. Who has standing? Her husband or her parents?
The writer (Helen Kennedy- NY Daily News staff writer) essentially says he can't remember much about it and goes on to quote him saying some platitude about fine people doing fine work, it was a long time ago, blah, blah, blah. Is this the new issue of the campaigns? We are going backwards to 2004-2005 and looking for non-issues to talk about and bash candidates with? I don't know where this writer gets her information, but, and I mean a big but, Fred Thompson was not in the Senate in 2005.
Have a look at HYPERLINK http://www.fred08.com/About.aspx http://www.fred08.com/About.aspx quoted from his website Fred08.com "In March 2002, in the aftermath of the loss of his adult daughter, Senator Thompson announced that he would not seek re-election to the Senate. He has two sons who live in Nashville. He retired with an 86% American Conservative Union rating and a 100% rating pro-life voting record."
So by the time Teri Schiavo was big news in late 2005 Fred Thompson had been retired from the Senate for three full years. He had been gone from there for almost 1100 days.
Senator / Doctor Bill Frist was the one who screwed the pooch on that one.
If this is news then I think we get to ask Hillary to explain how she could stay with Bill after he is out dipping his wick in the interns. Ask Hillary what kind of cigar she is smoking. I think we get to ask John McCain about his temper at every stop, I wonder if he was responsible for the fire on board the USS Forestal? (No, he wasn't , but they way it is reported you'd never know it). Lets ask Barack Obama about his childhood travels and focus on that for a while more. Lets talk some more about Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill. Somebody should ask Rudy G. to explain Waco. Elian Gonzales should be the main topic of discussion. Hell, lets see how responsible Dennis Kucinich was for Ruby Ridge. I mean I ain't done bitching about Robert Bork yet ! Gary Hart? Where is he I want to ask him some more about his implosion when he got caught having an affair. What about Harry Reid's land deal? Can Rudy Giuliani be President if he has had a couple of nasty back stabbing ex-wives? I don't think we spent enough money on either Watergate or Whitewater ! Free Squeaky Fromme!!, Free Squeaky Fromme!!- Who the hell is she ?
HYPERLINK http://Moveon.org http://Moveon.org can sponsor a full page ad in the NY papers calling our commanding General in Iraq "Gen. Betrayus", and you don't see nary a word about it in the news. Hell the newspaper even gave them a big discount for placing the ad to ensure that it would get the widest possible circulation. I'll bet most people don't even know what HYPERLINK http://Moveon.org http://Moveon.org is all about. They basically fund the Democratic party. Treasonous bastards if you ask me. They say they are a "nonpartisan education and advocacy on important national issues". Non-partisan? They do not support a single Republican idea. By definition , they are partisan. So am I, I just have the guts to admit it.
This kind of no-balls made up "fluff" attack junk reporting is what pisses me off about mainstream so called "media" nowadays. " Our lead story, Rain makes dirt into mud, film at 11." People wonder why young folks think John Daily is a newsman on a news show. 25% of those 18-25 get most of their news from shows like his. It is stupid. It is obvious bashing. It is a non-issue. Let me make a rather ineloquent point. Democrats of today want to bash Reaganites and conservatives in general. They are all running for political office, spending millions of dollars to get a $200,000 job to "serve us" and they don't know as much about the Constitution or National Security as the average 25 year old does.
Lets re-visit Iran-Contra for a moment. (Bear with me)…...
It was 1987, At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news video of Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan Administration.
There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but what he said was stunning! He was being drilled by a senator in the hearing.
Senator :"Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?"
Colonel North :"Yes, I did, Sir."
The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience.
Senator :"Isn't that just a little excessive?"
Colonel North :"No, sir,"
Senator :"No? And why not?"
Colonel North :"Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir."
"Threatened? By whom?" the senator questioned.
"By a terrorist, sir" Ollie answered.
Senator : "Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?"
Colonel North : "His name is Osama bin Laden, sir"
At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn't. A couple of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued.
Senator : Why are you so afraid of this man?"
Colonel North : "Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of".
Senator : "And what do you recommend we do about him?"
Colonel North : "Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth."
This was not widely reported because the left leaning liberal media didn't consider it to be an issue, however it goes to the very heart of why we should be engaged in the middle east. It goes to the very center of the core differences between Democrats and Republicans. It is the defining issue of our times between freedom and tyranny. The discussion should be centered on these ideals and instead it is centered on how to get politicians elected to national office. In my opinion, Republicans should stick to their guns and tell the truth. Some issue are worth losing elections over.
I'm not a conspiracy nut. We landed on the moon, Oswald did it and yes, there was one bullet, Terrorists flew planes into the Pentagon and the Trade center, they attacked the USS Cole and blew up the marine barracks in Lebanon killing hundreds of marines, they also set the bomb off in the basement of the WTC a few years earlier and absolutely Timothy McVeigh deserved to die. Jewish people did not stay home on 09-11, Nixon was guilty as hell and should have went to jail, Terri Schiavo was a vegetable and would have died anyway and yes you are right, the Republicans were a bunch of morons for posturing on and on about it, racism is wrong yet it lives on in the south, sexual discrimination really happens every day in corporate America, I think Bill probably did more than diddle with a cigar, I would have burnt down Waco too because they killed federal agents, Ruby Ridge? Probably would have shot everybody there because they shot and killed innocent people including federal agents, Manson deserves to stay in prison - he is one scary sonofabitch, Area 51 is a secret military base and no, there are no little green men running around the New Mexico desert, and if Elian Gonzales wanted to go back to Cuba, hell let his ass go back. What do I care.
Lets not get off track though.
You know who Oliver North is. Ex-NSA, Military, conservative. Republican.
The Senator in question was none other than good old Al Gore. He didn't invent the internet, and he didn't have a clue then, doesn't have a clue now.
Media loves him and he is a phony and I wouldn't have voted for him to be dog-catcher. He deserved to lose the election in 2000 because he abandoned Bill Clinton. I'm shocked he thought he could win on his own without him.
Also did you know…..:
Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners." However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center . This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports.
Junk reporting like the "attack Fred Thompson stuff" this writer above wrote about goes unchallenged every single day. The media bends the news to fit their own perceptions, draws obviously biased conclusions, ignores the facts and will not report on parts of a story they do not like and we just sit here day after day eating it up and believing in the fairy tales we read that they write about.
Consider this story.
I'll bet you have never heard anything about this subject at all.
House #1 - A 20 room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool ( and a pool house) and a separate guest house, all heated by gas. In one month this residence consumes more energy than the average American household does in a year. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2400 In
natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not situated in a Northern or Midwestern 'snow belt' area. It's in the South.
House #2- Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university. This house incorporates every 'green' feature current home construction can provide. The house is 4,000 square feet ( 4 bedrooms ) and is nestled on a high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F. ) heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the surrounding rural landscape.
Guess who owns these houses? I'll bet two things. If you are a "Democrat", you ain't gonna like it and I'll also bet your response will be some lame justification, denial and a dismissal of this as an unfair comparison, as an attack I can hear it now , " That’s so unfair, these two houses are not even located in the same parts of the country", "He has purchased carbon offset credits to make up for his energy usage", "His house is ten years newer", whine, whine, whine, indignant sniffle, POUT, FROWN. Poor babies..
I would expect that. You see, we as a society are trained to believe everything we see and hear from the media. As far back as I can remember, we have been spoon fed what news executives think is the news and then had certain aspects of stories beat into our brains every day at 4, 6 and 11 by Accu-News central. Its been going on for so long, I can reference things that you probably won't even know what I am talking about. The lead news stories in 1968 all started with body counts. The news today would have you believe that no one asked for it and that it kind of evolved into our consciousness. Wrong. Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense under Kennedy and Johnson started it to show progress in the Vietnam war and it got so out of control that it came back to bite them in the ass. I'm not a Democrat hater though. I voted for Clinton and would vote for him again if he could run. I won't vote for Hillary, because she is a shady back stabbing unbelievable shrew who will steal you blind and then tax your ass into the grave and beyond.
Oh, by the way….
HOUSE #1 is outside of Nashville, Tennessee; it is the abode of the 'environmentalist' Al Gore. Mr. Kyoto treaty. The worlds biggest tree hugger himself is the owner.
HOUSE #2 is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas; it is the residence the of the President of the United States, George W. Bush. You know, Mr. Big Oil, blah, blah, blah.
Bet you didn't see that one coming did you? Come on let me hear your whines !
An 'inconvenient truth', I guess if there ever was one. I hear Al gives a hell of a slideshow.
You don't believe me? Check HYPERLINK http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/house.asp http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/house.asp
So as the writer puts this story out and writes "The Schiavo question - still a big issue in Florida - has already ensnared former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who also pleaded a faulty memory when a Florida reporter asked him in March if he had supported the efforts to keep her alive."-NY Daily News 09-14-2007at HYPERLINK http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wn_report/2007/09/14/2007-09-14_fred_thompson_unprepared_to_answer_on_te.html http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wn_report/2007/09/14/2007-09-14_fred_thompson_unprepared_to_answer_on_te.html
in her attempt to beat up and bash on Fred Thompson with this non-news story that they are making up as they move forward trying to advance the Democratic agenda.
The next time you see or read a news story that seem credible, like this one , ask yourself this one small basic simple question.
Is this the whole story?
Not very friggin likely.
