This is Not Safe For Democrats

Senate Democrats trash the constitution!

Their supporters on the left, who may claim to support and abide by the constitution are silent. Why? Because violating the constitution in this case works in their favor. The left wants to stop Bush's judicial appointments and they don't care if the constitution gets trashed in the process. The word for this is hypocrite, un-American and several others I don't want to say here. They would justify this action by convoluted claims that will make no sense. The most outrageous will be the tired claim that Bush was selected not elected which is an outright lie. I have lost all respect for those of the left who subscribe to this behavior by their elected democrat senators. If they believe in the rule of law and the constitution then let them call their elected senators and speak up, otherwise shut the hell up!


 
By the way...

I was just watching a nameless liberal on TV criticizing the Bush administration for the war... I can't remember one liberal criticizing Clinton for anything he did! As a matter of fact all I heard from them were excuses for Clinton. "I don't condone what he did but he shouldn't be removed from office for it..." Yada yada, bunch of whining cowards. In their hearts is the fear that Clinton probably was responsible for 9/11 and they can't bring themselves to admit it... So they criticize Bush to deflect their guilt. Disgusting!



 
The French and Russian connection

Hardball interviews the experts

April 14 - As the United States prepared to go to war with Iraq, two of the nations most opposed to that war were France and Russia. Recent discoveries in Iraq now indicate the relations between those two countries and Saddam Hussein?s regime were more extensive than publicly disclosed and were possibly in violation of U.N. sanctions against the Iraqi regime. Hardball with Chris Matthews talked to Ibrahim Marashi from the Center of Non-proliferation studies, and Frank Gaffney, of the Center for Security Policy for some of their expert opinions.

A Fallen Hero Comes Home - Police Provide Escort

Good Morning to all. This letter was written to members of the NY State Police and Syracuse Police who participated in an impromptu ceremonial escort for a soldier killed in Iraq.

On Thursday, April 17, 2003, you participated in an Escort Detail for GREGORY P. HUXLEY JR who was killed in action in Iraq on April 6, 2003.

On behalf of the entire Huxley family and from me, personally "Thank You Very Much". The sincere dedication and emotions that you displayed meant so much to the Huxley family, that words cannot describe their feelings at this time.

What most did not know was that the US Army had promised the family members that they would be taken to Dover, Delaware to be present when their son arrived from Iraq and there would be a full military ceremony in Dover for GREGORY. Unfortunately, there was a communication problem and they were not present during that ceremony. Then they were informed that the body of their son was being flown to Syracuse and that the funeral director could pick up the "fallen soldier" at the cargo area of the airport and that somebody would help them remove the casket from the cardboard shipping container for transport to Boonville, NY. That was found to be totally unacceptable for a nineteen year old kid that gave his life for this country and for the freedom of so many others. As a family friend, the funeral director contacted me to see if anything could be done. We now had six hours before GREGORY arrived in Syracuse.

Phone calls were made to SP North Syracuse, SGT Nick Harmatiuk took over from here and what you participated in and observed the rest of that day was truly an outstanding display of what this agency can do in very short time. What happened, was just overwhelming.

From SP North Syracuse the procession left, led by eight Syracuse PD motorcycles, followed by the hearse, four cars with family members followed by ten State Police and Syracuse PD cars. How ironic it was that when the procession was traveling parallel to the runway, the plane carrying GREGORY landed next to use. We were able to enter the planes cargo and rid his casket of the shipping crate and drape the American flag over it. When the casket traveled down the conveyor belt, fifteen New York State Troopers and the same amount of Syracuse Policemen lined the path to the awaiting hearse. All came to attention and saluted as six State Troopers carried the flag draped coffin towards the hearse. After a short prayer, the family was given some time to welcome their son home. The entire airport was so quiet, I looked up at the windows of the concourses and saw a hundred people there, all standing, watching, with their hands over there hearts, saluting a young man that they di! d not know. Somehow they were told, that a fallen soldier had come home and they wanted to share the moment with us. The casket was then placed in the hearse and the procession left the airport in the same fashion as we arrived, only this time with a young hero that our hearts will never forget.

The motorcade was escorted to the Thruway entrance by the Syracuse Police Department's motorcycles, all traffic was stopped for the procession and we headed east towards Boonville. After getting off the Thruway, at every intersection that the procession encountered we found that it had been blocked by more State Troopers, allowing safe passage with no interruptions. As we traveled through these intersections, every State Trooper, stood at attention, saluting the fallen soldier and his family, honoring GREGORY, giving him and his family the sincere respect, and thankfulness that they deserved. How emotional that was to see and to reflect on now, words cannot describe what that was like. When entering the Village of Boonville, the main street was decorated with so many American Flags and yellow ribbons. As we approached the center of town, all of the church bells began to chime at once. Hundreds of people were there, lining the street, all holding American Flags and all o! f them weeping for GREGORY and for what he sacrificed, for us and this country. As we drove by the village park, the National Anthem was being played, for GREGORY, and I think, for us. At the funeral home, eight veterans lifted the casket out of the hearse and into the home with the family. GREGORY, had arrived back in his home town.

I give you that description of events as not all of you took part in the entire process and I feel that you needed to know. I also think that you need to know what GREGORY'S family said to me, later. The images of the six State Troopers lifting their son, in his flag draped casket off of the airplane, of all the State Troopers standing at attention, saluting their son, of the State Troopers standing on the street corners, at attention and saluting, honoring their son, of the State Police escorts from Syracuse to Boonville, these sights, and now their memories will always be etched in their hearts, forever. But the one memory that will always be there first, was of the State Troopers standing at the airport, standing at attention, saluting, with tears running down the troopers cheeks, for their son, a fallen soldier, a hero, that those Troopers never personally knew.

Our jobs take many different avenues in life, we hope that during our day, or shift that we have made a difference, a positive attribute. Well, on Thursday, April 17, 2003, you did just that. You let an entire family know, that you cared, that you were sincere in your caring and the thanks that you displayed for GREGORY and his family. Their words to me about you, told me just that. We made a difference yesterday, and we did in style. The rewards we receive for details like this one you participated in do not come from anywhere but from your heart, take pride in what you accomplished yesterday, because you accomplished so much. I have had so many good things happen since I have been a State Trooper, but in the twenty fours years, I have never been prouder of the New York State Police as I was yesterday.

A fallen soldier, a hero, a son, a brother has finally come home, in grand deserving style, thanks to you

The proof that Saddam worked with bin Laden
By Inigo Gilmore
(Filed: 27/04/2003)

Iraqi intelligence documents discovered in Baghdad by The Telegraph have provided the first evidence of a direct link between Osama bin Laden's al-Qa'eda terrorist network and Saddam Hussein's regime.

Papers found yesterday in the bombed headquarters of the Mukhabarat, Iraq's intelligence service, reveal that an al-Qa'eda envoy was invited clandestinely to Baghdad in March 1998.

Powell puts France on notice

Envoy warns that French will suffer consequences over Iraq

WASHINGTON, April 23 - Secretary of State Colin Powell has warned France that it will face consequences over its unyielding opposition to the U.S.-led war in Iraq. Even as France appeared eager to mend fences, the top U.S. diplomat viewed as the least hawkish among the top Bush administration figures indicated that Washington was reviewing its overall relationship with the government of President Jacques Chirac.

PETA asks town to change its name

By Associated Press, 4/22/2003 10:34

HAMBURG, N.Y. (AP) A national animal rights group has offered Hamburg officials $15,000 to change the town's name to Veggieburg.

''The town's name conjures up visions of unhealthy patties of ground-up dead cows,'' said Joe Haptas, spokesman of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), in a letter faxed Monday to Hamburg Supervisor Patrick Hoak.

--

Years ago I knew PETA was irrelevant when they wanted Fishkill NY to change it's name. Now it's time for PETA to disband. They did good once, oh so many years ago. Now they just want to keep the money flowing in. You know what they call people who do anything for money...

Bill's wording has Blackwell worried

By Shelley Davis
Enquirer Columbus Bureau

COLUMBUS - Are lawmakers trying to trick voters into saying yes to video slot machines? Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell thinks so.

--

This is an old trick some politicians use. It's based on the fact that most voters will automatically vote NO on any proposition they haven't looked into. By making the NO choice the one the politician wants they steal the vote. Just another thing to look out for.

Coalition deaths fewer than in 1991 - Apr. 17, 2003
'We became stronger while Saddam became weaker'

(CNN) -- As the fighting winds down, U.S.-led coalition deaths so far in this war in Iraq are far fewer than those killed in the 1991 Persian Gulf War.


As of Thursday, 157 U.S. and British troops had died in the war, less than half the 358 coalition deaths in Desert Storm.

Laura Ingraham

Laura's show airs from 7 to 10PM on AM 570. It's a fun show, lots of interesting guests, humor and besides... she's a babe! Here is a sample from her web site.

"CLINTON GLOBALONEY BLATHER CONTINUES: Bill Clinton just can't stand it. He can't stand the fact that George W. Bush is more trusted by the American people than he ever was, more respected by the American people than he ever was, more feared by terrorists worldwide than he ever was. (Of course Clinton will always be the fave of the Euro-elites because he believes that international institutions are the wave of the future.) So just days after Saddam was pushed out of Baghdad, Clinton is back on the bash Bush platform, saying: "Our paradigm now seems to be: something terrible happened to us on September 11, and that gives us the right to interpret all future events in a way that everyone else in the world must agree with us. And if they don't, they can go straight to hell." He gets paid good money for that analysis? Pres. Bush puts protecting American lives first--a concept that was lost on Clinton during his years in office."

U.S. moves to cut diesel pollution

WASHINGTON, April 15 "The Bush administration on Tuesday proposed reductions of more than 90 percent in non-highway diesel engine pollution blamed for thousands of premature deaths, heart attacks and respiratory ailments. MSNBC"

Now this makes sense. The libs are always carping about car pollution which is already very clean and forgetting all about diesel. Why not try to clean up where it is dirty instead of cleaning what is already clean. Good for Bush.



 
What's wrong with patriotism?

Recently I was called an extreme patriot. That the links I put on this site were one sided and only showed one opinion. The one opinion part I don't have a problem with, but the extreme patriotism, now that's another story altogether. They thought there was something wrong with that. I was accused of letting my patriotism blind me to what they see is the dark side of America. They thought I was fooled and that I am a fool. You see, they are so much smarter than me. They don't get all chocked up when they hear a patriotic song or feel the pride of seeing our flag wave high. They are so much smarter than me. They don't feel the joy of our troops victories over there. They don't have the pride of knowing that America is the greatest country in the world and not just because of our military might but because we have the best system. They are so much smarter than me. We are a free people and we want the world to be free. We give the lives of our children so the children of other countries can be free. Yes, we are a great people, a great country and yes, I am an extreme patriot and I'm glad they recognized it.

Because you see, they are so much smarter than me.

A long time ago, Britain and France were at war. During one battle,the French captured an English major.  Taking the major to their headquarters, the French general began to question him.  The French general asked, "Why do you English officers all wear red coats?  Don't you know the red material makes you easier targets for us to shoot at?"

In his typical English way, the major informed the general that the reason English officers wear red coats is so that if they are shot, the blood won't show and the men they are leading won't panic.

And that is why from that day to now, all French Army officers wear brown pants

I watched with pride and awe as our American boys pulled down the statue of Sadam Hussein in Baghdad. Then the Iraqis rushed in and with the joy of long desired liberation jumped on the head of Sadam. It reminded me of the Germans on the Berlin wall not so long ago, but I guess they forgot. Maybe they will remember it now. Meanwhile France’s Chirac demanded a part of the rebuilding of Iraq. I guess that’s OK, after all somebody has to clean the commodes. 4/9/3 12PM FH
