"Hot Mic" shows it's all about politics and not our country

The "hot mic" syndrome struck again when Senator Schumer exposed the callous attitude politicians have towards the future of our country. While the leadership is spending money like drunken sailors (sorry sailors) on shore leave, they give us the impression they are trying to restore fiscal sanity.

Before a conference call to be attended by Democrat leaders and the press, Schumer made sure they had their stories straight before the press got on the phones...Only problem is the press was already on, listening and recording every word.

His talking points relayed to his fellow Democratic senators were to tell the reporters that the GOP is refusing to negotiate. Schumer "told the group to make sure they label the GOP spending cuts as 'extreme.' "Because that is what the caucus (democrats) instructed me to do last week".

Never mind that we are borrowing money to run this bloated government, never mind we are heaping extraordinary debt on ourselves and our children and grandchildren....It's all about win baby!

Of course the Republicans ran with this and said it exposed the attitude of the democrats that" any cut in the budget was extreme" and the democrats want to shut the government down as it will make the Republicans look bad".

In the meantime, the guy that Obama charged with getting this budget together and working with both sides to find a budget solution, VP Joe Biden...is busy skiing in Aspen Colorado.

Lets stop the game playing and balance the budget. Because right now you are heaping so much debt that the next generations of Americans will be paying for the "services" that we are getting today.

The present political power structure in charge of our country, don't care what they do to the future, they only care about the next election, they are "economic child abusers" of the worst sort.

Some "evil corporations" are more equal than others in liberal land.

Despite $14.2 billion in worldwide profits - including more than $5 billion from U.S. operations -
GE did not pay a dime in taxes in 2010.

Obama said: "Those with accountants or lawyers to work the system can end up paying no taxes at all. It makes no sense. It has to change." But in typical Obama fashion of saying one thing and doing the exact opposite, in January Obama named General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt to head the President's economic advisory board focused on job creation.

In 2 years Jeff Immelt has laid off over 20,000 GE workers in the US and closed it's light bulb manufacturing operations in the U.S. All GE light bulbs (federally mandated) will now be manufactured in China. Last year Immelt was paid over 21 million.

Now Obama has put Immelt in charge of job creation in the US. This is a guy who has demonstrated his ability to cut jobs, not create them.

We are waiting to hear the outcry, marches in the streets, anarchists lighting torches condemning evil rich corporations....I am listening, but not a peep.

Just like in George Orwells Animal Farm, where all animals are equal, although some animals are "more equal" than others. It appears we have that same double standard when it comes to the left wing. The condemnation & mantra of greedy corporations not paying their "fair share", goes silent when it is one of their own greedy corporations.

In the meantime, in Illinois, one of the states largest private sector employers, with over 23,000 employees, is considering leaving the state. It’s been a tough year for Caterpillar Tractor. First they found out that Obamacare would cost them $100 million in one quarter. Then earlier this year the liberal Illinois governor raised taxes on Illinois businesses including Caterpillar.

Are Caterpillar tractors going to have the "made in China" logo on them too?

Sarah Palin in a stroke of symbolism makes strong impressions in Israel and India.

During her recent trip, Sarah Palin declared to the Indian people and the world that "it's time for a woman to be president of the USA".

India is a great backdrop for the speech since it was the first major democracy to elect a woman as it's Prime Minister. Also and just as important, it stressed that Sarah Palin and her allies regard India as a first tier friend.

After her speech she fielded many questions from the Indian press and answered their questions in a "direct and forthright way". Asked why Obama won, she quipped "I wasn't at the top of the ticket, remember?

Then to reinforce her symbolism, Sarah and her husband Todd flew to Israel, another great democracy and firm ally of the United States. They stayed with the popular Conservative Prime Minister, Bebe Netanyahu and his wife Sara.

During their stay in Jerusalem, they toured a few of the historical sites with MK Dannon who said, paraphrasing: "When we toured near the Kotel and in the tunnels near the Holy of Holies, Governor Palin told me "clear things without hesitating". " She asked why do we apologize to the Muslims? She understands the importance of the place for the Jewish People, there is great support and I felt it in the tour yesterday."

Israel, the only real representative democracy in the middle east, is where the first woman Prime Minister in that part of the world was elected, their beloved Golda Meir. She was their guiding light and firm captain as she inspired the country through it's early days of conflict and triumph. The vow of "never again" still freshly burned in her soul.

In this short trip Governor Palin was able to accomplish much. She visited and made strong bonds with two of the worlds greatest democracies, who the Obama administration seems to be pushing aside. She also set the stage for America to elect a new President....Whoever she may be.

Googles Think/Do Summit draws ex violent extremists to Dublin

OK I have to admit, at first I didn't see the ex in front of extremists and jumped to conclusions, thinking oh no here we go again. Then after I saw my mistake my next thought was, how are these people going to get to Ireland, they must be on everyone's no-fly list?

"The Summit Against Violent Extremism” will be held from June 26th to 29th. In the Google mold of thinking outside the box and exploring new uncharted tech frontiers, they have set their sites on wrestling with the worlds Achilles heal: Dispossessed members of society who revert to violent extremism.

Terrorism and violent extremism can be seen as the # 1 threat to mankind as we set sail into the 21st century. The world is now a starship of hi tech weaponry and WMD that can cause massive casualties to society. Once it took an army to inflict great amounts of casualties, now a single committed extremist can unleash a world of hurt on many, with the push of a button,or by opening a vial.

I have a special interest in terrorism, I happened to find myself in the middle some violent extremism in the past and know what it feels like to bear the brunt. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time in the middle east.

On the other hand, my child hood friend grew up to be a violent extremist, so I have an interesting perspective and can see the results from both sides of the coin.

Although my friend grew up in urban middle class America, he felt a disconnect with society in his teen years and drifted away from the mainstream. He felt his place was to bring about change no matter what the cost and fell in with an organized group of extremists whose goal was to inflict death and destruction in the name of their beliefs….and they did as I read about him in the newspapers.

So what is at the root of this disconnect with the rest of society that can bring such violent consequences to the rest of the world? That’s what Google coupled with the Council of Foreign Relations is preparing to discover at this Dublin conference where over 50 ex-violent extremists, including Neo-Nazis, Islamic fundamentalists and drug gang members will gather to discuss what brought them to extremism. They will be in discussion with victims of terrorism, diplomats, academics, civil society organizations and the private sector. What are the root causes? What can be done to bring them in from the terrorist cold?

It is with great symbolism that Dublin is the location for this first gathering. This is where great sacrifice, blood, sweat and tears were shed in order to bring a lasting peace to a violent part of the world. It is where parties sat down and discussed their differences and found a solution to the violence that plagued them for years. They showed the rest of the world how it’s done.

A lot of respect goes to Google, The Council on Foreign Relations, ex-terrorists for changing their ways, their victims, scholars & others who want to make the world a better place…But thank you Dublin for setting the stage.

We have seen the future and it is Detroit.

Citizens are fed up with runaway expenditures and want to rein them in, including taking back some of the power that public sector unions have over the states. Wisconsin and other states hired Governors and legislators to do just that when they elected conservatives into office.

Other states throughout the U.S. including Wisconsin, Ohio, New Jersey, Indiana, Idaho, Tennessee, Kansas and others have voted and are attempting to rein in expenses including trimming the power of public employee unions. Their backs are against the wall as they are faced with cataclysmic deficits. Although the left and their political allies would have you believe it is about union busting in general, but private sector unions are not a part of this battle.

In the conservative tidal wave that rolled through the U.S., California seemed to buck that trend. This state not only returned it's very liberal legislators, the voters even decided to vote back the very person who started California's downward spiral over 30 years ago, Governor Jerry"moonbeam" Brown....Could it be to return to the "Golden State" that he mortally wounded those many years ago and give it a final bayonet thrust?

While Governor Brown was in office the first time, he set a Utopian course for California by canceling dam projects and new aqueducts. He established the California Energy Commission to block new power plants. He put the brakes on new highway construction. He established the California environmental protection agency that required bakeries to put scrubbers on their exhaust in order to protect the public from the smell of freshly baked bread!

But the most damaging was the 1978 legislation signed by then Gov. Brown allowing collective bargaining for public employees. No single act has changed California for the worse more than this one. No political faction wields more power than California's Public employee unions and the resultant 500 billion pension deficit.

California once the envy of the world with modern freeways, cheap and abundant power, plenty of clean water, a welcoming business climate and sound fiscal policies. Is now facing constant drought, power shortages, clogged/ antiquated freeways and a very unfriendly business climate, with radical environmentalism being a major theme.

Governor Brown now has a chance to redeem himself and change his legacy. He can navigate a Chris Christie-like course of tax cuts, smaller government and confront the public employee unions....Will he have the vision and sense to do this? Or will he continue to preach the "moonbeam"vision he started and the policies that will ultimately make California what Detroit has become.

Governor Brown, we have seen the future and it is Detroit.

Donald Trump a "little skeptical" about Obama's birthplace

During an interview with "Good Morning America", businessman, and possible Presidential candidate, Donald Trump questioned President Obamas claim that he was born in Hawaii.

Donald Trump, never shy about voicing his opinion on controversial matters said: “Let me tell you, I’m a really smart guy. I was a really good student at the best school in the country. The reason I have a little doubt, just a little, is because he grew up and nobody knew him,” Trump said.

“If I got the nomination, if I decide to run, you may go back and interview people from my kindergarten. They'll remember me. Nobody comes forward. Nobody knows who he is until later in his life.

Trump said that he's a "little" skeptical Obama was born in Hawaii, despite documents showing that he was. " "The whole thing is very strange." Other people who question Obamas birthplace (birthers) who share his view shouldn’t be branded as "idiots," Trump said.

Chris Matthews, probably President Obamas most ardent and passionate of political commentators, publicly stated that the President "should release his original birth certificate and get this controversy over with once and for all". "Why has the President himself not demand they put out the document(original birth certificate) if it exists....why not put it out"?

Newly elected Governor Abercrombie of Hawaii a longtime Obama supporter, vowed to show the world proof of Obamas typewritten long form birth certificate. So far there has been nothing from the Governor in spite of his many public statements that after his election, his priority was to prove to the world Obama was born in Hawaii.

In the meantime there is a growing chorus for Mr. Obama to produce many other records of his past which have been sealed off to public view including: Passport records, Obama kindergarten records, Punahou School records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, University of Chicago scholarly articles, Illinois State Bar Association records, Illinois State Senate records/schedules(said to be lost), Medical records, Obama/Dunham marriage license, Obama/Dunham divorce documents, Soetoro/Dunham marriage license, Adoption records and of course the long-form Certificate of Live Birth.

Donald Trump is right to cast some doubt on the Presidents past and has the courage to voice what many in America are feeling. It seems that anyone who questions Obamas past and his qualifications to be leader of our country is marginalized as a"birther", or even worse, a racist.

I don't think it is unreasonable for the American Citizens to know everything they can about the man they might elect as President of their country, before the election!....And it is not unpatriotic to continue ask these questions now, even after the election.

Thank you Mr. Trump for speaking out about this.

Editors update: President Obama, man of mystery:http://legalbearsblog.com/2011/03/president-obama-man-of-mystery/

Man plans, the Gods laugh

As the nuclear meltdown unfolds, those first words uttered by the ancient Irishman, are as true today as they were those thousands of years ago....as he raised his fist to the sky saying, why!

With a shift of her foot, Mother Nature caused massive destruction to the most earthquake aware society in the world. Japan has always had major earthquakes and constructs it's buildings to the highest standards, the envy of the world when it comes to earthquake preparedness.

The nuclear reactor facilities were engineered to withstand an 8.0 on the Richter scale, that is a major major earthquake. Only problem is, the earthquake that just hit was a 9.0, a thousand times stronger than an 8.0.

Then Mother Nature decided to throw a real tantrum and sent in a Tsunami.(Tsunami means tidal wave in Japanese, so they know what they are) Problem: Evidently the experts who designed the reactors to be earthquake proof and built them at the edge of the ocean, forgot to consider 30' tall tsunamis that could wash over them and wipe out their back up systems in the event of an earthquake.

Six thousand miles away and many hours after the Tsunami hit Japan and ricocheted towards the California coast, I happened to be standing near a small harbor along the California coastline.

The first thing I noticed was the water getting sucked out of the harbor at the speed of the fastest river. It roiled up the harbor bottom and spit out mud, fish and debris into the sea where hundreds of seagulls had a feast. Then there was an eerie calm and the water rushed back into the harbor at a terrific rate rocking boats and causing havoc.

At about the same time this was happening I heard the earsplitting roar of a squadron of F-16's overhead, cruising in perfect formation as they defended our coast. But in this instance they were powerless to defend against the enemy unless sidewinder missiles fired into the tidal wave could have any effect.

Japan is a major economic force, an ally to the west and a successful representative democracy. The damage caused to this country will have widespread effects on the rest of the world. Japan will need all of their capital to rebuild and repair their country which will mean they probably will not be buying any other countries debt for awhile. They might even want to be paid back on all of the loan money they have out. If that happens, cheap interest rates will be a thing of the past and running your economy on someone else s money is going to become very expensive.

Time to balance our budget Washington, because our economic Tsunami is on the way.

Death threats to Wisconsin lawmakers will prevent them from attending St. Patricks ceremonies.

The stark reality of lawlessness comes home to the citizens of Wisconsin when their lawmakers are advised to skip St. Patricks Day ceremonies. Law enforcement doesn't think they can protect the lawmakers due to death threats received.

Madison Wisconsin has been assaulted by organized crowds of out of state protesters. They filled the streets and clogged the capital building. In a coordinated move with the unions, Wisconsin Democrat legislators flew the coop in order to paralyze the lawful legislative process and let the crowds work their chaotic mischief for over 3 weeks.

There have been threats of violence, intimidation, 7.5 million dollars of vandalism, economic threats and death threats to those who carried out the mandate of the voters.

The final insult to the capital however, was to have multi-millionaire capitalist, Michael Moore fly in to lecture the crowd on the holiness of collective bargaining. Ironically, Moore doesn't hire union workers on his own films..oh the hypocrisy!

Of course with the amount of press coverage in Madison, like a moth drawn to a flame Jesse Jackson showed up. As if someone pulled his string, he came out with a canned, off the wall speech, not relevant to the occasion. Seems he got his causes mixed up and although he had some rhymes, why did he have to talk about jobless and homeless, huh? This is exactly why the Wisconsin lawmakers got the legislation signed into law, to prevent job loss and homelessness.

The fabric of a country is its respect for its democratic process and respect for its laws. Mob rule, death threats and intimidation are not a part of that.

The time is long past due for President Obama to get off the golf course and get on Air Force 1 for the flight to Madison Wisconsin. He can dust off his Tucson "civility speech" with a few edits, load it into the teleprompter and tell the crowds it is time to be civil. Tell them in his Presidential way, to respect the legislative process, clean up the trash and repair the damage done to Madison. Tell them to go home and work on next years election.

This would be the most dramatic way for the President to take control of the situation and propel his image as commander in chief, the leader of our country. It is counter intuitive for his partisan beliefs, but it would gain him tremendous respect from the rest of the country to see their President be bold in such a volatile situation.

Do the unexpected Mr. president, surprise us. Time is slipping away.

James O'Keefe, new generation of Irish American patriot

Looks like we have a new generation of conservative Irish American patriots coming to the forefront. At 26 James O'Keefe already has an impressive record in exposing corruption, bias and illegality in government funded organizations. He is the modern day version of a conservative Woodward and Bernstein.

Due to an O'Keefe undercover sting operation, yesterday saw the firing of NPR'S CEO and the firing of the organizations chief fund raiser. The expose' shook the institution to its's core after a hidden video caught the fund raiser denigrating American citizens and also showed the willingness to accept donations from a known radical Islamic group.

But this is only the latest in his expose' of wrongdoing in the government funded organization industry.

Previously he exposed the group ACORN,the recipient of hundreds of millions of taxpayer funds and known for it's fraudulent voter registration tactics all over the country. O'Keefe and his partner posing as a pimp and a prostitute went into ACORN offices around the country secretly recording ACORN officials giving them advice on how to better traffic in child prostitution and human smuggling, among other offenses. After the video aired Congress voted to cut off funding to the group and it later dissolved.

Other targets have included the expose's of unethical/incompetence by Planned Parenthood, the Census Bureau, New Jersey Teachers Union and other projects.

O'Keefe describes himself as an "investigative journalist without formal training" and said he follows Saul Alinsky's rule of making "the enemy live up to its own book of rules." He used the Alinsky tactic of caricaturing the political and social values of his enemies by carrying them to outlandish extremes.

O'Keefe began making hidden camera videos, while attending Rutgers University, when he and his associates attempted to have the breakfast cereal Lucky Charms banned from the campus dining halls on the grounds it was offensive to Irish-Americans. The point was to expose the oversensitivity & absurdity to ethnicity at Rutgers. He told an assistant director at Rutgers dining services that the leprechaun on the cereal box appeared to be "'an Irish-American' who is 'portrayed as a little green-cladded gnome or huckster'". " As you can see, we’re not short and green–we have our differences of height–and we think this is stereotypical of all Irish-Americans". Though O'Keefe and his associates thought they would be laughed at, the Rutgers official took notes, and said their concerns would be considered.

In 2010 O'Keefe formed his own organization, Project Veritas, meaning truth. Their stated mission is "to expose corruption, dishonesty, self-dealing, waste, fraud, and other misconduct in both public and private institutions, in order to achieve a more ethical and transparent society.

Looks like you've got your work cut out for you lad. Since there seems to be no more investigative journalism in the media these days, a vacuum was created. Young Mr. O'Keefe stepped up to the front and filled it. He is the epitome of the tough Irish spirit and tradition of fighting for what's right. Here's to ye Jimmy O'Keefe!.

Time for Big Bird to leave the nest and learn to fly on his own

Times have been tough lately as most of us know. Difficult to find work that pays enough to get by, rents are high wages are low. So it has brought on a new phenomenon to America: "The child that never moves away from home syndrome."

As so sensitively portrayed in the Matthew McConaughey movie, "Failure to Launch", Matthew plays a thirty something lad who still lives at home with his parents. So his parents hire Sarah Jessica Parker to lure him out of their house. She specializes in recalcitrant young men who never want to leave the nest.

We Americans have the same problem with the Big Bird and the rest of his rag tag publicly funded cartoon character gang who have been squatting in our living rooms for over 40 years. They have been raiding our fridges and not doing any chores around the house. Not only do they live rent free, they make us pay....The messages they have been sending to our pre-school children over the years primes them for their public school inculcation. I think if you take a look at what public education has brought to America over the past 40 years, you will able to see a correlation between data in and product out.

Of course I am referring to Public Broadcasting System/NPR/PBS/CPB, the whole family of public broadcasters held together by money forced from the US citizens. For many years this organization(s) has been a propaganda megaphone for all things left. If you relied on their news as the only source of your information you would have a definite skewed vision of how the world actually turns.

Big Bird & Co. earns millions of dollars...Hey Bird! How about kicking down some of that dough to the folks?.....Big Birds corporate structureof salaries(NPR, etc.) earn more than the President of the USA.

NPR will tell you it receives very little public money to operate, but that is not true. They receive a bulk of their money from it's network of stations, which do receive public funding. It's a shell game of subterfuge designed to muddy and confuse the debate.

With the unjust firing of Juan Williams several months ago and the just revealed taped conversations revealing the contempt that the CEO of NPR has for the ones who actually pay his salary, the US citizens, I think it is long overdue to let Big Bird learn how to fly on his own. We need to cut off all the hundreds of millions of subsidies. Let them compete in the free market of ideas and succeed or fail by what they produce....It's not like we don't have to sit through insufferable amounts of commercials because they're publicly funded. We have to see who their corporate sponsors are and interminable pledge breaks...so wtf (Winning! the future)

So it's time for the children to leave the nest, cut the umbilical cord and learn to survive on their own. I know it will make many cry and say how heartless we are to throw Big Bird and Co. out, but sometimes tough love is the best thing for kids. They can face the same daunting challenges that the rest of us adults have to face and succeed or fail in the effort.

And if they fail, they can pick themselves up, dust themselves off and try again.

Editors update 5/6/11: Taxpayer Funded NPR Brings Rock Stars to Swanky Washington Party
http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/doug-heye/2011/04/29/tax-payer-funded-npr-brings-rock-stars-to-swanky-washington-party

The hypocrisy and political correctness on the left will be the death of us

In Germany when a gunman jumps on a bus crowded with unarmed American Airmen, empties his firearm into them, while shouting Allah Akbar...Would it be jumping to conclusions to assume it is an act of terrorism? Namely Islamic terrorism?

In Texas, Major Nadal Hassan calmly walked into an assembly area filled with his fellow servicemen and repeatedly emptied his weapon into his unarmed comrades killing and wounding dozens. While squeezing the trigger he could be heard to chant Allah Akbahr. Would it be jumping to conclusions to consider it had an Islamic terrorism tie in...Somewhere?

President Obama told us not to jump to conclusions about the terrorist attack in Texas. Over a year later the White House still has not been able to say this was an act of Islamic terrorism, even though there is overwhelming evidence that it was.

So in this context, the demeaning, pretzel-like show put on by U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley yesterday was illuminating. His attempt to justify how the German act of terrorism, really couldn't be construed as an act of terrorism.... turned out to be not only puzzling it was downright disturbing. Perhaps it was emblematic of the "Wildebeest Syndrome"? ( Dazed and confused, out maneuvered by its hunter)

Crowleys show put the politically correct mentality that permeates the White House and washes down to the Apparatchiks of his party into the spotlight. Just like when the Director of Homeland Security decided to refer to Islamic terrorism from now on as "man made disaster". It is nonsensical. A naive belief that if you don't mention the bogeyman's name, or change his name to something different, then it magically loses its power and really doesn't exist.

But you will notice there was no reticence by the Department of Homeland Security to recognize and boldly label the "real threats to America": Our returning veterans and right wing groups (Tea Party). Huh?

When Congresswoman Giffords was shot and others killed in Tucson recently by a crazed lone gunman, the din from the left & the main stream media caused spontaneous stigmata from the ears. They were falling all over themselves to blame it on Sarah Palin/ Tea Party,

Willful blindness? Partisan manipulation? The "wildebeest syndrome"? Take your pick or choose them all.

Editors Note: March 13, 2011, under pressure from the Obama administration ... P.J. Crowley resigned as spokesman for the State Department.

Bring Bush! Libyan freedom fighters cry for help.

Libyans under assault from Qaddafis air force, cry for the decisive leadership of George Bush. They plead for a Bush style imposition of a "no fly zone", to save their lives from vicious air attacks.

Estimates now say the death toll in the Libyans citizens quest to free themselves from their terrorist dictator to be 6,000 dead. The wounded count is much higher too, now that the dictator has unleashed his modern air force to bomb the population at will.

In the meantime while this slaughter is occurring, the Obama administration seems to be slow to act, almost like foot dragging or is it is gauging which way the wind is blowing? Or is it something else?

Unlike Egypt an ally of the US, where Obama called for the President of Egypt to step down almost immediately, Obama waited many days before even mentioning the dictator/terrorist Qaddafis name, even then in an oblique fashion.

Qaddafi is responsible for the murder of countless Americans in terrorist attacks throughout the world and should be tried in an international court for crimes against humanity. He has brutally suppressed his people for decades and bankrolled terrorist groups. So why the reticence from the President to even mention this thugs name?

Could it be that there is a connection between Obamas associates and Qaddafi that goes back years? Hugo Chavez, the dictator of Venezuela has stood solidly behind his friend the dictator of Libya and has offered an out for his friend Qaddafi. It has been noted that Obamas hope and change thing has resulted in a much less confrontational approach with the Chavez regime. To illustrate this, the US proactively sided against the will and constitution of the freedom loving people of Honduras. The US state Department ordered sanctions against Honduras after they ousted their wannabe dictator and close Chavez friend, after he attempted to establish himself as "el presidente for life".

There is also that solid relationship between Obamas pastor and mentor of many years, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Qaddafi. The Reverend Wright and the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan made a sojourn from Chicago to Libya to forge a relationship with the Libyan dictator. They have been heard to sing the praises of Moammar Qaddafi in the intervening years, is there a special, sister city, Chicago-Tripoli relationship?

Perhaps it is time for decisive action and the possible appointment of special envoys to meet with the besieged dictator and an offer of sanctuary, in order to end the bloodshed in Libya. It wouldn't be unprecedented, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, also a product of Chicago, has been used as an unofficial ambassador over the years to attempt negotiations in terrorist situations in distant parts of the world.

Could it be time for boldness and decisiveness on the the Presidents part to use his secret diplomatic weapon and unleash his longtime pastor, Jeremiah Wright? Perhaps the Reverend Wright can reach out to his close friend Qaddafi to convince him to end the bloodshed?

Editors note 3/21/11 Seems Minister Louis Farakhan of the Nation of Islam has been reading this column. Yesterday he urged President Obama to send a delegation of highly respected Americans to Libya to talk to the ruler. Wonder who he thinks should be in the delegation?

Fox news challenges mob, proves their chants are empty.

It seems the spontaneous protesters that show up in state capitals, splintered off and metastasized in front of the Fox News studios in New York City.

These organized knots of people all seem to have in common, besides carrying signs of our elected leaders depicted as Nazis, is their hatred of Fox news.

Besides the usual stock chants at these gatherings, it seems the second most popular mantra in all of the locations across the USA is Fox lies! Loud enough to attempt to drown out the Fox reporters and they thrust their signs in front of television cameras. One Fox News reporter in Madison was jostled and hit by the unruly crowd in an attempt to intimidate and silence him.

Fox News decided to send out their intrepid reporter Jesse Watters & his camera man onto the street in front of their 'Fox news headquarters in downtown New York City. They thought it would be a good idea to give individual members of the chanting crowd a chance to air their grievances against Fox news.

Watters asked the crowd to be specific, exactly what has Fox lied about? One of the crowd said that Fox lies about everything. Watters asked him to name just one thing Fox lied about, be specific. The answers were generalities only, nothing specific, all they could chant was Fox lied.

During his interview with Bill O'Reilly, Watters said:

"It was like an angry hostile mob when I arrived out there. They were chanting slogans, trying to drown me out. Once I drilled down though they didn't really know what they were talking about. They were basically drones. They chanted that I was a fascist, a prostitute, a Nazi. The thing was organized by the SEIU, MoveOn.org. They get inbox e-mails and all of a sudden they flood the Fox News zone with these placards from God knows where. And it was really unclear what their agenda was. It was basically that Fox News was supporting Walker and his union-busting techniques."

So lesson for the day: At least know what you're chanting about, you never know when you may get a pop quiz.
