Ralph Peters sets it Straight ...

Ralph Peters slams home the manipulative actions of far-left media like The New York Slimes in an article from today's New York Post ... I never thought I'd live to see the day I went to the Post over the Times for fair news coverage but it's today!

VIVA BUSH
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PRESIDENT'S LATIN AMERICA TRIP
Ralph Peters, The New York Post

March 11, 2007 -- AS our president arrived in Brazil last week, the U.S. media made it sound as if Latin America had erupted in flames. TV news featured flying tear-gas canisters; a typical newspaper headline read, "Angry Crowds Rally Against President in Brazil."
Message: Bush is hated. He's ruined our relations with the hemisphere. Nobody loves us anymore - and it's all his fault.

Blame America Venezuela Style: By The New York Slimes ...

It just would not be Sunday (actually any day's edition) if the New York Times did not run one article or another slamming the Bush Administration. The fact that they do it so consistently and indiscriminately only adds to the transparent nature of their carefully scripted agenda.

Today, rather than report on positive steps being taken on the president's trip to South and Central America, the New York Times chooses to run an article by a Chavez plant that reads like a cross between a failed fairy tale and a child's sob story. All sculpted around the message "Bad Bush, No Amigo." It's pathetic.

The author starts with the author's idealized childhood vision of America when as a little boy, he holds his illustrated (Monroe photos?) copy of a John F. Kennedy bio and dreaming of great things yet to come. The author, who just so happens to be Venezuelan (as in Chavez), goes on to say that today's South America is a mess and it turned out that way because they were particularly ignored by the Bush administration following 9-11. With such damage done, what hope is there for a future?

Let's forget that this is a Chavez propaganda piece that the slime balls from the New York Times selected to print in the largest selling Sunday addition. That being established, has it occurred to the author that perhaps the United States has been a little busy since 9/11/01? I am struck by so much of the world feeling that it is owed something by the United States. Where are the author's complaints about a lack of support from Europe, Canada, Russia, India or the newly emerged giant China? Nowhere, just blaming the U.S. The most honest thing he says in the whole article is that anti-American sentiment always existed, even in his idealistic, good old days and that his father, a doctor, never had a job.

This is the sort of cr-p that The New York Slimes chooses to print as President Bush is on a tour of South America to promote alliance to utilize ethanol to replace oil dependency over time.

Kind of makes you want to vomit, doesn't it?

On the Road With Bush and Chávez

WHEN I was a little boy in San Félix de Guayana, a Venezuelan village on the banks of the Orinoco, the doctors who worked in the poorest communities were from the United States. My father, an honest lawyer who was unemployed his entire life, felt a genuine sense of pride in the United States, and in time, he transmitted this pride to me. One of the first books he ever gave me, covered in an olive-green dust jacket and stamped with gold-foil letters, was an illustrated biography of John F. Kennedy, his personal hero.
