A Report From the War Front in Iraq.

Today the Associate Press reports: "On the Iraq front of the war on terror, murdering terrorist thugs, in their first attempt to sabotage victory from the hands of the Iraqis, since the surge in forces in Bahgdad, have succeeded in killing and maiming their own people in a brutal attack on innocent men, women and children, going about their life in a busy open air market, on what could have otherwise been a beautiful day in Bahgdad, since the fall of the murderous dictator Saddam".

"Just a few hours before the cowards set off an explosion of rigged cars parked undetected in a lovely part of Bagdad, where women bring their children to shop, Lt. Gen Abboud Qanbar led reporters on a tour of the neighborhood near the marketplace that now lay in ruins at the hands of murdering thugs and criminals, where he promised to "chase the terrorists out of Bahgdad". On Saturday, the Iraqi spokesman for the plan, Brig. Gen Qassim Moussawi, said violence had plummeted by 80 percent in the  Capitol".

"Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki condemned as a desperate act by "terrorists" and "criminals" who sense they are being squeezed. "These crimes confirm the defeat of these perpetrators and their failure in confronting our armed forces, which are determined to cleanse the dens of terrorism" al Maliki said in a statement."

"US military chiefs are more cautious, saying the security drive begun last week, despite the democrat run Congress's attempt to sabotage the war, may take some time to make clear gains, due to the criminal terrorist element continuing in their attempts to murder and maim their own fellow muslim brothers and sisters.  The criminals  favored weapon of the moment are parked cars rigged with explosives."

This report, by Brian Murphy of the AP, "Bombs kill 63 amid crackdown".  "Insurgents inflict casualties even as security drive continues in Bahgdad", is abridged and edited by me, and an example of what is missing from the American press: honest reporting. If the reports from Bahgdad were worded in such a manner as to portray the enemy as who they are: murdering terrorist thugs, killing their own innocent fellow muslim brothers and sisters, rather than, "militants", and "insurgents", the American people would be viewing this war in a totally different way. Unfortunately the AP, and other so-called American News Papers and Networks report the news from Iraq with an anti- American, anti-war  bias, and this is why the democrat controlled house feels it can issue the Resolution for Defeat. With the help of the anti-American, anti-Freedom press, we will lose the war, and our Nation will pay the price, and the blood of fellow Americans will be on the democrat's hands.

A "Contract" with our Troops.

It's time for our elected Republican Representatives in congress and the  Senate to stand on the steps of the Capitol, and declare a Resolution for Success in Iraq. Forget about the Yellow Party, walk out of the House and Senate debate, go to the steps of the Capitol raise the flag, sing God bless America, and make a Contract with the American people and our brave troops, to support a resolution for Victory! 

Here's a chance for those who truly want victory over terrorism, and victory in our work in Iraq  for the men and women in uniform who are risking their lives to protect our freedoms. Here's a chance to stand and take the platform away from the cowards on the Left, and show America that we Republicans are united for Victory!

We resolve, that in order to protect and defend our Nation from those who would bring terror to our shores, that we united, pledge our support for the brave men and women in uniform of the United States of America, and to victory against our foe in Iraq. We  support the surge of troops to gain control over the enemy, to secure Iraq, and defeat those who perpetrate murder against innocents. We resolve to support our troops in victory, as they continue our military's legacy of bringing the hope of freedom to the world.

The Propaganda Media

As I peruse the TV channels for news, it's pretty clear that the MSM has no desire for America to win the war on terror, much less to have America be respected and admired around the world.

In their desperate attempt to ruin president Bush, they may very likely bring the country down.

The new democrat majority  seems to be working hand in hand with the MSM to make sure the enemy knows they have friends here who want our defeat.

Glen Beck on CNN Headline News is doing a great job warning America that the political correctness of the Left and the media will eventually be our undoing if we don't wake up.

In the days of the Nazis the propaganda media brainwashed the Germans into believing the Jews were the greatest evil facing the planet.

Will the propaganda media today manage to brainwash the world into believing that  America and Bush are the greatest evil on the globe?
 
Will the propaganda media be our undoing?

Clinton's Legacy Lives On...

China has developed the technology to blow satellites out of their orbit.

The news took me back to the good old Clinton years, and the waver our illustrious President signed to give classified technology to China.

Oh well, another day, another part of the disastrous Clinton legacy comes to light.

Ho hum.

The "Big Three" Seek to Undermine the War on Terror.

According to the New York Times, Carl Hulse reports,  the "Big Three": Sens. Joe Biden, D-Del.,Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., and Carl Levin, D-Mich., announce they  "will seek to limit U.S. role in Iraq", with a non-binding resolution against the troop surge, that  "would send a powerful message"...

The "powerful message" which these "three stooges" are sending, is to our enemy. It says "we are the cut -and- run "leaders" in the U.S. Senate who don't have the guts to unite behind the President in this battle for America's safety, and for a stable Iraq".

Terrorists around the world must be applauding this vaudeville act.

I'm Proud of the President.

 The President was the Commander-in-Chief at his best in his speech to the Nation, and the democrats and the MSM were at their worst in their response, and leading up to the speech.

The President showed courage, patriotism, command of the issues, and a belief that our military can perform their duty successfully, and that the Iraqis can have a future of freedom and democracy if they step up to the plate and do their part. He also stressed that our country will be safer with a democracy in Iraq that will not be a haven for terrorist training camps and a base from which to plot attacks against our Nation.

The democrats on the other hand, showed cowardice, and a lack of courage which will encourage those who would seek to bring an end to Western Civilization as we know it, and discourage the Iraqis from pressing forward and fighting for their future of  hope and Liberty.

Given the choice to support our President in a united voice and send a message to the enemy that we will stand together to fight those who wish to destroy us, fly their flag over our Capitol, and kill Democrat, Republican, Independent and Libertarian , or send the message of disunity to the world and the enemy for the sake of their hatred of Bush, and their unquenchable thirst for power, they chose the latter. I am embarrassed as an American for their lack of understanding of this struggle that we face for the future of our Nation, and for their message to the world.

I stand in support of our President, our troops, and our Nation's fight for our future and that of the free world, and I reject the cowards on the Left, who put themselves and their power above Patriotism, and a clear message to the enemy that we will stand strong against all odds.

May God bless our President, our Nation and our brave troops, and may he grant us victory!

I Can Start Living Now!

Our new Speaker of the House has anointed herself the savior  we have been waiting for, for 200 years! Women of  America! Do you feel better today? Do you feel more secure, more fulfilled, more at peace, more special, now  that Speaker Pelosi is our man? Have women across time been waiting, since the dawn of this nation for a WOMAN to be speaker?

Men of America, aren't  you  relieved  that now a liberal leftwing woman has risen above the glass ceiling in Washington, who is going to fix everything you ruined in America?

The Patriarchy has been defeated, and America's History is now on the right track! Nancy is our Knightess in shinning armor!

I knew there was something missing in my life, and in this country! We have been missing the blessing of Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House! How have I been able to live my life until this fateful day? I had no idea how deprived I was!

The sun is shinning on the world, the planet is a new and wonderful place. I feel the air is cleaner, the water is purer, the stars are brighter, and...uh oh... is it a full moon?...

Success in Iraq!

After the daily negative pounding from the media on the war in Iraq, the MSM is actually reporting success in Iraq: the execution of the Butcher of Baghdad! 

Finally the media is forced to admit that the Iraqi people have succeeded! They have succeeded in ridding their country of the curse of Saddam, after his fall and capture were successfully executed by the brave American Heroes of our military forces in their quest to make America safe from another potential attack.

We have heard nothing but bad news being reported day after day from the Left and the MSM, in the hopes  that Bush would fail in his attempt to help create a democracy  in the Middle East, and make America safe from another threat.

Well, the media and the Left have  failed to accomplish their goal, and another murdering dictator has been eliminated from the face of the earth. Those who feared Saddam would come back to torture and kill can now sleep easier, and those who thought they would join him again to do the killing will not.

Thanks for nothing, MSM. You lose, the Iraqis win! And so do the American people, and the rest of the world.

The Christmas Story

Twas the night of Christmas, and in Bethlehem
The people had gathered both women and men.
They came for the census that Ceasar declared
All were to be counted, not one to be spared.

Joseph brought Mary heavy with child,
She carried the Savior on whom God had smiled,
She sat on a donkey her burden was great,
They sought a night's lodging, for it was quite late.

There was no room, no place for a bed,
So Mary gave birth in a lowly straw shed.
The whole world was sleeping unaware that that night
A King had been born with all power and might.

The shepherds heard singing and looked to the sky
Where angels announced the birth of the Most high.
The shepherds and Wise men came to adore
The savior from God who through the virgin was born.

The whole world was given a Savior so bright
Given by God that holy Christmas night.
He grew up to die our sins to forgive,
He came back to life, eternal life to give.

For all who receive the Christ child's free gift,
Forever in Heaven with Him one day will live.
As we look at the stars in the sky shinning bright,
We thank God above for that wondrous Christmas Night!

by Sheila F.

Merry Christmas Townhall Family!

What's Wrong is Right and What's Right is Wrong...

It seems we are living in an age where "reason" no longer matters, and the voices of reason are looked upon as "extreme" among the elites on the Left, in the world of politics and debate.

Defending our country  from attack  for instance, is "imperialism". Wanting tax cuts for everyone, is unfairly "aiding the rich". Expecting  people to take responsibility for themselves, is being unfair, and "insensitive".  Wanting  government to allow individuals to be charitable, rather than instituting bureaucratic welfare, is "not caring for the poor".

Matters of morality,  human dignity and decency have descended to the lowest depths of perversion, and yet to oppose the popular consensus is to be a prude or worse, a censor, or infringing on the "rights of free speech".

Where faith and religious beliefs are concerned, "all" beliefs are acceptable, other than Judaism or Christianity, and these deserve disdain, impugning, and ridicule.

Patriotism has become a bad thing. To be proud of America and our troops, is to be "superior", "condescending", and "unfair" in the new  globalist  world.

It seems what's wrong is right, and what's right is wrong, and absolutes are absolutely not. Did I miss anything?

Can We Trust Candidates Based on What They Say?

When we look at candidates running for office in the United States Government, can we trust what they say?  
Sometimes when we look behind the facade, we find quite a different story than what appears to be true. It can happen on either side of the political spectrum. It seems scrutiny of one's lifestyle might be in order, or one's voting record, if there is one. This can be true on the Left and Right side of things.

This past election there were people on the Left who ran as "conservatives" or people of "faith",  who got many votes from Christians, we are told. Can they be trusted, or was it a ploy? I guess we'll soon find out. 

I believe the 08 election is going to be one of the most critical in our history. The person who winds up in the Oval Office, along with those who wind up in the House and the Senate will play a critical role in the future of our nation.
 
At this point which candidate appears to be someone we can trust to be the next president of the United States, of either party, based on their actions, not words?

It's a Wonderful Life...

In the movie "It's a Wonderful Life", the beloved Jimmy Stewart Christmas classic, George Baily (Jimmy Stewart) has a nightmare. He suddenly realizes he is living in a world where he and his conservative values never existed, and the chaos that exists as a result is incomprehensible.

As I look at the political landscape , the ramifications of this election, and the possible devastating effects of the presidential election in 08, I feel strikingly like George Baily in that dream.

I'm concerned that we may not understand the full extent of the damage done November 7, and what our future would look like in 08, if the Left controlled both the House, the Senate, and the White House.

What would the world look like if all that we have worked for the past 12 years suddenly were reversed, and it were as though the conservative accomplishments never happened?   

We could wake up in the nightmare of a Kyoto Treaty, new global warming restrictions, dictatorships around the world treated as "co-superpowers", terrorism running rampant globally , the economy in the tank, and taxes at the highest levels in history. And that is just the beginning of the nightmare.

I wonder if we understand the high stakes of the dream becoming reality?

It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood...

Washington is the most beautiful place on the planet today...the solutions to the world's ills are now in the can.

Smiles abound, no longer is there the lingering danger of democrat inditements. Reid, Jefferson, and any other corrupt democrat is now off the hook.

It's a new day of comity, no more insulting rhetoric, only tiptoing through the tulips.

Chuck Schumer, basking in the glorious victory, expounded on the country's future, and the wonders of the Democrat plan to hold their power for a generation. In that moment, the sun seemed to  brighten, as it filtered through the branches of trees surrounding him, giving him an aura, almost a glow.

Al-Masri, Al qaida's leader in Iraq, complemented the American people on their wise choice, and announced his plan to blow up the White House.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...

And the Winners Are...

The numbers haven't all come in yet, but as it looks right now, who are the winners in this election? The MSM? The blame America first crowd? The hate Bush mongers? The cut and run republicans? The terrorists? Michael Moore?

Is this election the first win for the propagandists? Will this give the Left a solid platform for the '08 presidential run?

I'm not real optimistic this morning. Anyone out there feeling chipper?
