Life on Mars

This is where The Times goes far left, off the charts. We are in a time of war where lunatics are desperately trying with every means possible to get nuclear weapons to destroy American cities. Many of the conspirators are right here, right now in the United States. For the safety of the nation the Bush Administration created the Patriot Act to protect the public from this exact sort of horrific event becoming a reality, a reality that remains very possible.

Like children, we have The Times ranting about abuses of civil liberties. Again they position it as if the Bush Team has ulterior motives, at work to manipulate as much as possible for some sort of personal and political gain. I truly think they are so far out of reality that it is scary. On one hand you have mass murderers vowed to kill as many of us as possible. On the other you have a government trying to adjust to an near endless number of potential loopholes.

Who would you be rooting for?

A Spy Program in From the Cold -
The New York Times Editorial on 01/18/07

Of the many ways that President Bush has trampled civil liberties and the balance of powers since the 9/11 attacks, one of the most egregious was his decision to order wiretaps of Americans’ international calls and e-mail without court approval. It was good news, then, when the administration announced yesterday that it would now seek a warrant from the proper court for that sort of eavesdropping.

The president’s decision hardly ends this constitutional crisis. Among other things, the public needs to know why Mr. Bush broke the law for more than five years and what should be done to ensure there will be no more abuses of the wiretap statute.

The Tyranny of the Elites

Letter to the Editor

THE TYRANNY OF THE ELITES
By 449 Quentin

They study journalism at Princeton, Harvard and Yale and although they are a minuscule percentage of the general population they dictate terms to the rest of us. The media is almost completely under their thumb so they control much of what we think. It does not matter that 89% percent of us want child molesters punished more severely than they are today, they do not and they prevail. From their elite perch they mold the American culture into politically correct clay.

Jokes about ignorant southern whites (hillbillies) are permissible while those about blacks are not. Anti christian rhetoric Si, bashing Muslim rhetoric No. Not content with molding our thought processes they also control our dreams through their sub contractors in Hollywood. Even though the C. I. A. has been neutered by legislation passed by their liberal lap dogs they still churn out film after film that portrays the agency as an omnipotent killing machine, moving other countries around like pieces on a chess board.

Beyond that they also hold sway in Academia thus insuring that fresh generations of politically correct hypocrites are churned out on an ivy clad conveyor belt. This is unfortunate because their perspective on American reality is a tad skewered. They do not actually know 95% of the American’s they rule.

Walk along Madison Avenue in Manhattan or shop the boutiques on Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles and count how many soldiers, coal miners, waitresses and carpenters you see mingling with the cultural elites as they shop for the latest offerings of Prada or Gucci. Then head out to the Hampton's on a summer Sunday and watch the editorial staff of the New York Times in a killer softball game with the guys and gals from C B S News. On your way to the hot dog stand check the crowd for truck drivers, plumbers and dish washers. When you resume watching the game do not worry about brushing up on your Spanish because there won’t be anyone in the stands who recently waded across the Rio Grande.

The kids from Media Central are a homogeneous lot devoid of inner city blacks and eastern European immigrants. Their blacks have “token” stamped on their foreheads. The same can be said about any other “ethnics” in their group. All these people know is each other. That is why on Friday January 13, 2007 when the A team at the New York Times posted yet another subliminal message to the American public nobody really took note. The elites at the Gray Lady sped back from brunch at the Four Seasons and never looked out the window at the janitors , cab drivers and office workers that they passed. They chatted amiably in the plush cocoon of their Limo and focused on each other.

Something horrible was happening in America and they, the anointed ones, must filter it through the prism of their collective conscious so that the unwashed in the hinterlands could understand it . Some minor league jackass at the pentagon was telling the truth to the American public and that would never do. Charles D Stimson was the swine’s name and suddenly he was numero uno on the Liberal elite medias hit list from sea to shining sea. This upstart who was probably the product of a state university if not a mail order one had the temerity to release a list of top tier law firms who were representing prisoners at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

The guys from the Times were livid. The lawyers mentioned were all frat brothers of theirs. That kind of McCarthyism was not going to let go unchallenged on their watch. It did not matter that we lived in a different world and were fighting a different war. It did not matter that the gentlemen in Cuba stood for executing Gays, restricting women to housebound illiterates or employing capitol punishment against jaywalkers. Nor did it matter that these people were plotting to surprise Chicago with a nuclear cloud for Christmas. What mattered was the party line and the liberal credo. What mattered was going for Bush’s jugular twenty four seven and never letting up.

“These are the major law firms in this country”, Mr. Stimson had the temerity to say and they are helping those who would destroy us. Perhaps he went on to declare that they should be punished by losing paying clients at America’s top tier businesses. The elites are always crowing about George Bush being in a state of denial. They however are in double denial. While any truck driver knows better than to give aid to someone who threatens his home and family, it is our elites who remain clueless.
