Fox News & the Irish Americans behind it, are an inconvenient truth to the liberal dominated media

Hannity & O'Reilly

 Since television was first introduced to the US, it was immediately seized upon and dominated by three networks, ABC, CBS and NBC.  Television news commentators were invited into every home in America. We knew them as Cronkhite, Rather, Mudd, Couric, Brokaw and dozens of others, all dutifully reading their scripts on our screens. Telling us "all the news we needed to know."

They dominated the information we received, especially when teamed up with the New York Times and CNN. 

But then a great entrepreneur by the name of Murdock noticed the unholy alliance that had gripped control of America’s information media and decided to throw a bombshell into the middle of it. He introduced Fox News to America.

Although not a broadcast channel with the audience that the 3 entrenched networks had, Fox News propelled itself into huge popularity on cable television.  Many say it spearheaded the popularity of cable television. 

All of a sudden viewers, many of whom thought they were being read propaganda by the broadcast channels, were able to hear another side of the story.  The popularity of Fox News grew like wildfire as people flocked to hear the other side of the story, or as Fox likes to say “Fair and Balanced” coverage of the information.

Names with an Irish twist to them like Hannity, O’Reilly, Kelly, Guilfoyle, Crowley & Buchanan give Fox a crew of talented, fearless, journalists,  who don’t back down from a fight.  In fact they live for the political brawls and relish challenging the status quo.

The addition of Fox & internet news sites to the information medium  has caused a revolution in the way news is received and now questioned by the public.  CBS news anchor Dan Rather found this out the hard way when he was caught trying to take down George Bush with a false hit piece just prior to the 2008 presidential election.  As a result Rather lost his job,  CBS suffered a huge black eye and loss of its credibility.

The exposure of Dan Rather’s attempt to sway the Presidential election with false and misleading information has shown how vulnerable the public has been for years of having 3 major news networks all with a liberal bias.   The Fox presence, along with internet news sites have exposed this bias thousands of times as they cover stories the main stream media chooses to ignore.

The inconvenient truth facing the main stream media today,  is that the information they were able to mete out to the American public,  is now available to millions unfiltered through Fox and alternative information sources. The main stream media lost its stranglehold.

Imagine the comfort of the Obama administration, if pugnacious Sean Hannity wasn’t around to inform us how dire the Libyan embassy situation really is, as well as expose the whole Obama Mideast policy disaster? 

Or if Bill O’Reilly wasn’t pointing out that our leader has left Washington leaderless.  While he plays over a hundred rounds of golf we sank into 16 trillion in debt without a budget for 3 years?

If Megan Kelly wasn’t warning us about Obama’s justice department’s involvement in the Fast and Furious gun running scandal?

Or Pat Buchanan’s warning we are losing the battle of civilizations as the Obama administration kow tows to foreign powers, while cutting the legs out from beneath our friends and allies?

Or Kimberly Guilfoyle keeping her cool as left wing nut Leo Terrell, unleashed a tirade of invective as he got caught in her special brand of logic.

Thankfully Fox News is here getting stronger all of the time, countering the dishonesty dished out by the main stream media. Keeping it fair and balanced.

Governor Huckabee compares Libyan cover up to Watergate & Lewinsky scandals

Most transparent of administrations?

Governor Mike Huckabee, spoke on Fox News this morning and opined on the unfolding Libyan embassy scandal.  The attack which killed our ambassador and 3 other Americans is turning out to be nothing like the administration has been telling the public for the weeks following the attack.

The Governor said something very important, touching upon a core principle of our republic: “The uniqueness of our country says that government serves us, they can’t serve us when they are not honest with us.” 

He went on to say:

"Nixon resigned because he got caught lying. Clinton was impeached because he lied.  The cataclysmic events that happened to Clinton and Nixon, were not because of the transgressions themselves, but they lied about the cover up.  But in their cases no one died."

"But facts bear out we have been blatantly lied to by our leaders about the attack on our Libyan Embassy. President Obama and his administration has knowingly been untruthful with the American public."

The Governor clarified his position by saying “I am not demanding impeachment, but I am suggesting the American people demand the real truth.”

Facts show this administration know it was a terrorist attack almost immediately, they even knew who some of the suspects were.  The attack had nothing to do with the cheesy anti Islamic video, like his underlings tried to convince us of.

Is the Obama White House willing to risk national security for poltical gain?

--------------------------

This administration sent the press secretary and its UN Ambassador out to deliberately deceive the public. 

Huckabee said: "If we held Nixon and Clinton to standards of honesty, why don’t we hold this President to the same standards?"

There is a pattern of denial by the Obama administration and it shows they want to ignore there is Islamic terrorism being waged against us.

During the Fort Hood Texas shooting, Major Hassan killed 14 fellow service members as he chanted an Islamic prayer.  The administration is still calling this a workplace violence incident.  There are many other similar incidents pock marking the history of this administration.

To further  dispute the administrations version of the Libyan Embassy attack was just a “spontaneous event,” yesterday it was learned the FBI agents sent to Libya two weeks ago have not been able to visit the consulate.…Why?  Because the area is too dangerous.

"If you lie to your boss expect to get fired….If you lie to the American people, you should get fired."

The American people deserve to hear the truth from their leader

Hey Joe Biden! The GM Volt is dead and Al Quaeda is alive

Joe Bidens premature victory cry of “GM is alive and Bin Laden is dead,” rings pretty hollow these days. If that’s all he and President Obama have to hang their hat on after 4 years of “hope and change,” it is a pitiful campaign slogan.

A Similar, premature proclamation hung around George Bush’s neck when he declared “victory” in Iraq, when in reality there were still bloody years ahead.

Heralded by the 2009 Obama apology tour speech in Cairo,  this week was a shock to Joe and his boss Barack Obama, as their naive “re-set” of foreign policy shattered in violence.  Our Ambassador in Libya was killed and our embassies all over the Islamic world were under siege by angry mobs.

The knee jerk reaction from the shocked Obama administration was to blame the violence on spontaneous reaction to a cheesy video on the internet that poked fun of the Islamic religion.  But facts lead to the conclusion that at least the Libyan embassy attack was pre-planned and under the influence of Al Quaeda…Ominously for the Obama/Biden narrative, killing Osama Bin Laden, didn't mean the end of Al Quaeda and the huge wave of anti American violence showed the last 4 years of  Obama diplomacy hadn't changed hearts and minds in the Islamic world.

But buried under the blizzard of foreign policy failure, another tassled shoe was about to drop. It was learned the heavily govt. subsidized Chevy Volt, built by the heavily govt. subsidized General Motors has had disastrous sales.  In spite of huge tax credits and the Obama administration trying to artificially inflate sales by forcing the defense Dept to buy Volts…few in the general public are buying them. Forbes Magazine said there are enough scams here to satisfy a Chicago politician.

The Volt was the poster child of the Obama administration, an example of  “how to” in leading the way for billions of govt dollars doled out to “renewable energy” schemes. Almost all of  these green energy schemes, including subsidizing, solar companies and  electric car manufacturing, have proven to be an utter failure.

Last week General Motors stated they wanted the Obama administration to sell its share of stock it owns in their company, the image of being known as Government Motors is hurting business.

Iran gains power in Latin America as Obama administration looks on; a brave leader speaks

Bolivia's Evo Morales w/Irans Ahmadinejad

While attention has been focused on the murder of our ambassador to Libya and violent anti American demonstrations against our embassies overseas.....Those same anti American tentacles have been quietly grabbing hold in our own back yard.

With little notice in the main stream media, Iran has been cementing it’s relationships with regimes in Venezuela & Bolivia, both countries under the control of strongmen friendly to communism.  Iran is a main funder of terrorism throughout the world, For them to gain a foothold in Latin America, does not bode well for peace in our hemisphere.

Recently I spoke with Bolivian elected representative Senator Carmen Gonzales.  She has had the courage to stand up and speak out about the repression besetting her country and it’s ever closer alliances with Iran.  She has been the object of continual harassment by the government for her vocal opposition; including being buried in lawsuits (18) designed to silence her.

Tell us about Iran's influence in Bolivia?

The influence of the Iranian theocracy in Bolivia is very wide and deep.  Iran has inked many agreements with Bolivia, both known and unknown to the Bolivian people.  I have demanded to know the extent of these agreements, but as of yet there has been no response from the leadership.   Iran is interested in our mining industry, gas and uranium.  Iran is interested in expanding its influence in Latin America, to provoke the United States. It is very advantageous to Iran to have the friendship of the Bolivian regime, with all of its natural resources, including uranium and being strategically placed in the center of the continent.

Sen. Gonzalez

But most people of Bolivia repudiate the Iranian regime: They abuse human rights, they do not respect their women and are dangerous to world peace and stability.

Recently Canada withdrew its embassy in Tehran in a clear sign that the civilized world will not tolerate the authoritarian practices of undemocratic and abusive Iran.

I am also worried as a Bolivian ,what may happen to the Jewish community here.

Recently, the Iranian defense minister was with our ruler, Evo Morales. That same minister is under orders for international prosecution, accused by an Argentine federal judge to be part of the deaths of hundreds of Jewish-Argentine AMIA (Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina in 1994).

So, it is very dangerous for the Jewish community the fact that Bolivia has relations with Iran.

How do you see Iran’s influence shaping up in Latin America?

Our ruler Evo Morales hates everything that has to do with democracy, modernity and definitely hates the United States and what it represents. He and his regime have been dubbed the Taliban of the Andes and he himself is referred to as the Fidel Castro of the Andes. In 2008 he expelled the U.S. ambassador, Mr Philippe Golberg, in a clear sign that the Bolivian regime hates the U.S.

Since Bolivian leadership has signed agreements with Iran as well as Venezuela, there is clear worry that these countries can serve as bases for terrorist activities against neighboring countries and become a springboard for jihadism.  With Iran racing toward nuclear weapons capability, there is no doubt in many circles, that technology can filter to enemies of the US. The exporting of nuclear weapons technology to Latin America would cause huge political disruption to this region.

What can be done about this:

In Bolivia we do not like communism and citizens realized the mistake they made by giving the vote to Evo Morales in the last elections. Morales's agenda is the same agenda as Che Guevara: Establish a dictatorship the same style as Cuba. Che Guevara tried that here and we killed him for it.  Morales came to power cheating the people of Bolivia, lying that he would “change the system.”

I hope the Morales regime does not change the Constitution. In 2014 we are going to vote against him, and fire him from the Presidency. But only if he doesn’t change the constitution, like his ally Hugo Chavez did in Venezuela. Legally speaking, he cannot run for the Presidency again.  We hope the people of the US see what is happening here and lend us their support.

The US is coming face to face with a decision about what to do with Iran’s race towards nuclear capability. A nuclear capable Iran not only means a threat to our allies in the mideast, it most surely means a threat to our friends and allies in Latin America.

Chicago Mayor calls teacher strike one of choice-When is it time for parents and children to get a choice?

 The Chicago Teachers Union decided to flex their muscle and close down public schools  for the past 6 school days, with no end in sight.  This ground to a halt one of the nation’s  largest school systems, leaving almost 400,000 children to fend for themselves.

Working parents are frantic trying to make arrangements for their children’s safety and welfare during the day. Many parents are suffering financially by having to pay for expensive child care services, instead of having them in school attempting to get an education.

Of course, the children’s welfare and the parents who must pay for Chicago’s public education system are not even an incidental concern in this tug of war for money and power.  The city of Chicago has almost a billion dollar deficit and does not have the financial ability to pay more for anything.

But that does not seem to faze the union, who is demanding even higher wages and benefits, on top of the highest in the nation salaries they now receive.  Additionally, a great sticking point in the union’s demands is the ability to judge teacher’s performance by standardized evaluation testing. The union rejects this type of accountability.  They are also demanding job security at a time in the nations history where few have job security and bankrupt cities are buckling under public employee union contracts.

Perhaps if the school system was turning out scholars in high proportion and had nation leading scores in math and reading skills there could be a justification for more money for the union members, But a large proportion of Chicago’s school children are under performing and if they do  graduate, large segments of them show they are inadequately prepared to enter higher education or the workforce.  

To underscore where children are on the totem pole of importance to the National Education Association, their General Counsel Bob Chanin , pretty much summed it up: “Union Dues, Not Education, Are Our Top Priority.” See the Heritage excellent story on this.

This might be the “bridge too far” by the unions, or maybe they have finally pushed fed up parents and taxpayers around the country, who are demanding a better education for our children. 

The Friedman Foundation has been spearheading school choice around the country.  Study after study has proven when parents and children are given a choice with a voucher as to what school they can attend, they end up doing far better and their chances of going on to a 4 year college improve. 

On the whole, voucher systems save taxpayers millions of dollar where they are in effect. They also have the added benefit of getting children out of failing public schools into well run private schools.  Minority children have seen the greatest growth in their educations when school choice is offered.

Education choice for parents and children, the time has come.

Romney the statesman calls Mideast policy a disaster, as Obama the politician does fundraisers.

 Just hours after the brutal murder of our Ambassador  in Benghazzi Libya and the assault on our embassy in Cairo,  Mitt Romney spoke for America when he expressed the outrage at the murderous acts. He said America should not apologize to anyone when an American gets murdered.

"I’m outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi," Romney said in a statement late Tuesday night, "It’s disgraceful that the Obama Administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks." 

Romney had remarked on the politically correct statement that emanated from the Cairo Egypt embassy which is the official spokesman of the Obama Administration: 

"The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions," the statement read. "Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others."

Where was President Obama as rescuers frantically searched for our Ambassador in the smoking wreck of our Benghazzi embassy?  Standing by on alert as commander in chief, ready to make crucial decisions? No, he was sleeping comfortably in bed, he had a big day of campaigning and fund raising ahead of him. President Obama did not a miss a planned campaign stop or fund raiser as our Mideast embassies came under siege.

The Obama administrations milquetoast, politically correct response to violence against Americans is to apologize to those committing the violence.  They blame this anti American violence on a juvenile grade U tube video made by a few people in the US that put the Islamic religion in a bad light.

The United States is still a free country and can practice freedom of speech, there’s nothing to apologize about.

You don’t see American streets filled with murderous mobs when a far left government sponsored “artist” puts a crucifix in a jar of urine and call it art.  You never saw any American cities burn when another “artist” took a painting of Jesus Mother Mary and spread elephant dung on it…No the left celebrated those daring artworks and put them in museums.

But the rioting and violence afflicting many parts of the Mideast is just using this corny video as a pretext for violence,  it is a smokescreen for the anger and resentment towards Western civilization and a way to further subvert American prestige in the area.

President Obama made his apology tour to the Islamic countries, promising a new way and respect for Muslim countries…..He was not their enemy.   He seemed to think his mea culpa for Americas past transgressions, real or imagined, and just his presence was a magic solution.  He seemed to think if he kicked our ally, Israel, to the back of the bus he would gain friendship in the Muslim world.

The naivete of this attitude is now being reflected as Iran races towards nuclear capability and America is faced with increasing scorn and violence, where the Obama policy wonks predicted there would be love, adoration and peace.....now that Bush was out of the way.

As events unfold in this dangerous part of the world, it is plain the Obama administration is in way over its head.  Hillary, looks exhausted and at her wits end as she expresses surprise at the violence. Mitt Romney has been a vociferous supporter of our ally Israel as the weak foreign policy of the Obama administration endangers Israels existence.

There should have been no surprise from Obama or Hillary Clinton at this turn of events.  It has been reported there was intelligence given to the White house 48 hours in advance, attacks were coming....It was the anniversary of 911 after all.

But what is plain to see in this part of the world that after almost 4 years of hope and change to our foreign policy: Our friends no longer trust us and our enemies no longer fear us.

Was it a mistake for Cardinal Dolan to give the DNC his blessing?

Cardinal Dolan stood on the platform of the 2012 Democrat National Convention Thursday night and gave the gathering his blessing with a closing prayer.  This, in spite of the fact boos still echoed from the assembled crowd who had earlier fought to keep even the mention of God out of their platform.

What was he thinking? True he had a bit of a pro life message in the prayer, but he was thoroughly F bombed for that later on Twitter and other social media by democrat activists.

But if there is a major political party in the United States that has set its sights on any more anti Catholic policies than the Democrat Party, please let me know.

The Democrat Party can’t state any stronger than it does, it is committed to taxpayer paid abortions, including late term (9 months).  Isn’t the church firmly against infanticide?

The Democrats firmly stand for free taxpayer supplied birth control. Their featured speaker and poster child, activist Sandra Fluke, militantly stood for her right for taxpayer paid birth control. Did she infer it was a God given right, or is she an atheist? 

To illuminate the matter, the convention floor was flooded with free condoms adorned with anti Romney/Ryan ads on the packaging.

The Democrats denied 3 times before the rooster crowed Thursday morning, an addendum to restore God back into the platform.  It was plain from the crowd roar,  the the majority did not want mention of God in the platform.  But moderator, LA Mayor Villaraigosa barreled over their protests and inserted God back in the platform, knowing it would be political suicide for the Democrats if they willfully left God out of their platform.

Under provisions of Obamacare, Catholic & other religious institutions will be forced to provide and pay for birth control as well as abortion services for their employees. These institutions have joined together to sue the administration for forcing upon them policy that totally violates what their religions stand for.

By performing the closing prayer and blessing upon the convention, Cardinal Dolan puts his stamp of approval on it.  Perhaps he thinks he can gain favor from this or score political points?

Somewhere along the line, politics and religion intersect and religious leaders become more like politicians.  They tread a thin line of trying to appease the state at the expense of their religions and moral convictions.

What happened to the religion built upon the rock of Peter? Early believers were crucified for their religious beliefs, rather than bow to the immoral will of the state.  Perhaps it is time for the church to do some deep soul searching and see what they really stand for these days.

Perhaps it would have made a much stronger statement to steer clear of the convention, rather than appear to give it tacit approval by his appearance.

As a wise man once said, if you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.

Democrats threw God and Israel under the Obama campaign bus, then got second thoughts

 Obama's Canadian manufactured campaign bus had more company under its crowded undercarriage.  Joining Reverend Wright, Officer Crowley, ACORN, Poland, Van Jones, David Patterson and Grandmother Dunham, were two new additions, God and Israel…. It’s getting grisly under there.

Surely the Democrats who crafted this years political platform, must have known someone would notice they erased all mention of God in the Democrat mission statement, besides members of their targeted special interest groups they sought to appease.  In their zeal to placate atheists, agnostics, the environmentalists and the rest of the secular humanist movement, they probably estranged a huge percentage of Americans who believe in God …But perhaps the crafters of the democrat road map prayed it wouldn’t be noticed by those who would take offense at the absence of God in their platform?

But the awkward and inconvenient truth hidden in the document didn’t escape the hawk eye of Fox News anchor Bret Baier, who confronted Illinois Senator Dick Durbin during an interview yesterday. Durbin, clearly on the defensive when asked why, after years of having God mentioned in the Democrat platform, is this years platform devoid of the Deity’s name?

Durbin chose to turn the argument around and attack Baier and claim it was only a word left out, no big deal…”Nothing to see here now move along.”  But veteran newsman Baier isn’t one to be intimidated by a bloviating Senator and persisted in asking the question.  Durbins final answer was a belligerent, bizarre, nonsensical answer, that was a non answer.

The truth is, and Durbin and the rest of his party know it, leaving God out of the Platform would be offensive to many Americans and there is no way to squirm out of it.

As if to drive home the point the new Democrat party is going into a radical new direction and jettisoning old friends, the platform was devoid of mention that Jerusalem is the recognized capital of Israel.  Perhaps this was done to pick up the Muslim/anti Israel vote, with the calculation American Jewish voters will vote Democrat anyway, as they seem captivated by the Stockholm Syndrome.

Leaving out Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, further drove a public wedge between Obama and our ally Israel, at a most critical time for the Obama campaign. My recent interview with Israels Danny Danon magnified the feelings Israeli leadership has towards the Obama administration.  They say Obamas failure to provide strong leadership in the Mideast, jeopardizes their nations security. 

But later this afternoon, the Democrats quickly reinserted God and Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, back into their platform. The news announced on the floor of the Charlotte convention was met with a chorus of boos.  But the guess is that those boos, were tiny compared to the sighs of relief from Democrat leaders who know what the majority of voting Americans still hold dear to them. 

Those Americans would have been very willing to express dissatisfaction with this “new party” in November if the platform wasn’t restored. But even though restorations were made, there are other troubling positions in the platform that alienate many traditional Democrats. The attempt to take God and the backing of Israel out of the platform might have been the last insult to push them away from the party.

Israel will be energy independent, can America follow their example?

America has huge reserves of coal, natural gas and oil, which can can gives us the ability to be totally energy independent without importing anything from foreign sources…If the will was there to do so.

There is not another country on this earth that has the amount of natural energy resources that we do and is not doing its best to exploit them for their own national security and economic health.  All countries look at the United States enviously for its great wealth in energy…yet we do not fully exploit them.   In some circles on the left, they seem even ashamed and actively try to destroy them, such as the “war on coal” being waged.

This is the 3^rd installment of my interview with Danny Danon, deputy speaker of Israel’s Knesset and major spokesman for his country.

---------------------------------

Parts 1 & 2 of exclusive Danny Danon interview

Israel's Danny Danon says Washingtons lack of leadership speeds Iran towards the bomb

Danny Danon says Irelands Freedom flotilla was funded by terrorists

-----------------------------------
 Israel is very much an isolated nation when it comes to energy.  Until recently, Israel had virtually none of its own energy and was dependent on outside sources to even light a lightbulb.

This caused huge potential security problems for this small country. It imported coal and had an agreement with Egypt to supply oil and natural gas, making it vulnerable to changing and hostile Mid East political turmoil.

The recent removal of Hosni Mubarrak, Egypt's long term leader and friend of Israel, saw the reins of power change.  Almost immediately friction began between the countries.  The pipeline from Egypt’s natural gas fields to supply Israel was sabotaged more than 14 times, making it unusable.

In April, the new regime in Egypt, by now headed by the Muslim Brotherhood, decided to cancel the long term natural gas supply contract with Israel.

This could have been a devastating blow, possibly forcing a war for energy, a nations lifeblood.  But in a dramatic, almost biblical turn of events, Israel had been rescued from the Egyptian decree by the discovery of huge natural gas fields off its coast.

The size of this discovery turns Israel into a long term, energy independent country.  They have more than enough gas to become an energy exporter.  This is game changing and history making at the same time…..As though a hand again parted the water to rescue the Israelis.

When I asked Danny Danon about this huge turn of events, his response was: “We were very lucky when we found the gas and within a year we expect to be transferring the gas from the sea into our power grid".

Danon expects to see his country become a major exporter of gas to its neighbors, as well as Europe.  Israel will no longer need to import coal or gas for its power. Danon "hopes that Israel’s cutting edge technology companies will find a way to get it off the use of oil to power its cars."  His aim is to "have the tech able to transform the countries fleet of cars to electric power and not have to import a drop of oil, since they will have an abundance of electric generation."

Danon calls Israel a “start up country” because it is home to so many high tech companies. A perfect blend of a country with leaders willing to aggressively pursue energy independence because they know that is the key to a country’s national security and economic security.  But also with leaders wise enough to allow its private sector to provide the technology, intelligence and know how to achieve breakthroughs to harness this energy independence.

Perhaps America’s leaders can learn from this and watch how energy independence will improve the standard of living for all of the citizens of this country.
