Racism and Hatred in Egypt

Have you ever heard that only whites can be racist? 

The argument basically treads the following:  only those who hold power can be racist, therefore, blacks cannot be.  Whites can be, because they have always held power.

One doesn't need to agree, just understand this view, held by many people who would self-identify themselves as left or left of left.   Most large media sources would fall into the left of center category based on the fact a majority of their employees / reporters/ anchors self-identify as left.

Even when blacks protested or rioted, it was regarded as significant because they held no power, and consequently, their choice to risk all, meant that the system was truly broken (whatever the issue they were demonstrating / protesting).

So, in Egypt when Christians are protesting ....





Mob attacks Christian protest in Egypt


5/15/2011

CAIRO (AP) — An angry mob attacked a group of mainly Christian protesters demanding drastic measures to heal religious tension amid a spike in violence, leaving 65 people injured, officials said Sunday.

The Christian protesters have been holding their sit-in outside the state television building in Cairo for nearly a week following deadly Christian-Muslim clashes that left a church burned and 15 people dead.

More than 100 people rushed into the sit-in area, lobbing rocks and fire bombs from an overpass and charging toward the few hundred protesters sleeping in the area. Vehicles were set on fire and fires burned in the middle of the street.

Police and army troops fired in the air to disperse the crowd, and a tree was set on fire under the overpass.

The security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said the attackers had returned to avenge an earlier scuffle with the protesters who prevented a motorist from going through the area. A fight ensued, and the motorists fired blank rounds. The protesters chased the motorist and beat him badly.

Marc Mino, a protest organizer, told state TV the motorists had provoked the fight after refusing to be searched before entering the protest area, then provoking the protesters.

Medics said 65 were injured in Sunday's melee, two in critical condition. The security official said nearly 50 of the riot instigators were arrested.

A witness, Alfred Raouf, said armored vehicles later blocked traffic and pedestrians from going down from the bridge toward the protest area. The number of protesters at the sit-in shrunk, but those remaining insisted the strike would continue as their area was cordoned off by the security, Raouf said.

Religious clashes and a rising wave of crime have proved to be a major challenge for Egypt's military rulers in the days following the 18-day uprising that led to the Feb. 11 ouster of ex-president Hosni Mubarak.

Following the religious violence, the military vowed to respond firmly to instigators of violence and promised to respond to a number of the Christian demands, including reopening nearly 50 churches. But no trial date has been set for those responsible for the church burning or the violence last week.

Just hours before the Cairo violence, several suspected Islamic extremists bombed the tomb of a Muslim saint in the northern Sinai town of Sheik Zweid, said a security official, also declining to be identified because he wasn't authorized to release the information. The official said the eight or nine attackers fled the area. Muslim radicals have blown up at least five other Muslim shrines, because they believe the veneration of saints as a violation of Islam.

Meanwhile, doctors said Egypt's ex-first lady Suzanne Mubarak was in stable condition after treatment for a "panic attack" and has effectively been put under arrest in the hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh pending further investigation of corruption allegations, officials said Saturday.


Suzanne Mubarak fainted and suffered chest pains following a three-hour interrogation Friday which ended with a decision to detain her for 15 days as prosecutors looked at the sources of her wealth. She has been accused of taking advantage of his position for personal gain.

Health Minister Ashraf Hatem said the 70-year old Suzanne Mubarak was in stable condition Saturday after a 24-hour monitoring period in the intensive care unit of the hospital in the Red Sea town of Sharm el-Sheikh. She is in the custody of the police, Hatem said, according to Egypt's state news agency MENA.

Later, a second team recommended she remain under observation for an additional 48 hours, according to the hospital's director, Dr. Mohammed Fatahallah. He said the team determined that Mrs. Mubarak still has high blood pressure and suffers from chest pains, and an angioplasty may be necessary. He was speaking to the Associated Press.

The continuing treatment makes it unlikely she will be transferred quickly to a Cairo women's prison facility, where she had been expected to be moved.

Earlier, a hospital official had told the Associated Press that Mrs. Mubarak on Friday "suffered from a sudden panic attack after hearing that she will be sent to prison." The hospital official spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not allowed to release the information before further tests were conducted.

Suzanne Mubarak's 83-year-old husband also is being treated in the Sharm el-Sheikh hospital, for a heart condition.

The former president had been questioned several times about allegations that he illegally amassed vast wealth, but Mrs. Mubarak was interrogated on Thursday for the first time on corruption charges.

The Mubaraks and other members of the former regime have been the subject of legal efforts to bring them to trial since the ex-president was forced to resign Feb. 11.

The process has been complicated by slow procedures and — in the Mubaraks' case — by health issues. Many in the protest movement have been critical of the current military rulers for being slow in pursuing corrupt officials, although many former regime members have been jailed.

Inciting hate.




Muslim cleric calls for beheading of Dutch politician


By Ben Berkowitz
Fri Sep 3, 5:03 am ET




.AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – A well-known Australian Muslim cleric has called for the beheading of Dutch anti-Islamic politician Geert Wilders, a newspaper said on Friday.

Wilders' Freedom Party scored the biggest gains in June 9 polls and is currently negotiating to form a new minority government with the Liberals and Christian Democrats. Polls show Wilders would win a new election if one were called now.

Wilders demanded to know why he had learnt about the threat from the newspaper and not from Dutch authorities who are guarding him after a film and remarks he made angered Muslims around the world.

De Telegraaf, the Netherlands' largest newspaper, led its front page on Friday with a story on the speech by Feiz Muhammad.

The Sydney-born Muhammad has gained notoriety for, among other things, calling on young children to be radicalized and blaming rape victims for their own attacks.



[Reuters could have been a little more honest and open than a simple phrase of limited purpose - bleming rape victims for their own attacks.   Feiz compared women to meat left out on hooks, and men to cats and dogs.  What should happen but a natural response to hanging meat - the cats and dogs would jump at the meat.  It is not the cats fault, it is the woman's response, as she was not dressed modestly.  See the story about the Afghanistan dancing boys for just how modest they should dress.]



The paper posted an English-language audio clip in which he refers to Wilders as "this Satan, this devil, this politician in Holland" and explains that anyone who talks about Islam like Wilders does should be executed by beheading.

De Telegraaf did not say when the speech was given but said it and the Dutch secret service both had copies. According to his website, Muhammad is based in Malaysia.

Wilders told Reuters it was "really terrible news" and that he was taking it seriously.

"I will ask for clarification from the Dutch minister of interior/justice why the secret service and anti-terrorism unit NCTb have not informed me before and what the consequences will be for me," he said in an email.

A spokesman for the Dutch secret service referred inquiries on the threat to the NCTb. A spokeswoman for the NCTb was not available to comment.

Wilders is currently on trial in the Netherlands for inciting hatred and discrimination against Muslims.

The Freedom Party leader made a film in 2008 which accused the Koran of inciting violence and mixed images of terrorist attacks with quotations from the Islamic holy book.

Wilders was also charged because of outspoken remarks in the media, such as an opinion piece in a Dutch daily in which he compared Islam to fascism and the Koran to Adolf Hitler's book "Mein Kampf."

Of late he has been in the news for plans to speak out against a planned mosque in New York City on September 11, the ninth anniversary of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.

But his views have also made him extremely popular with a segment of the country uneasy about the Netherlands' commitment to multiculturalism.

"Look what happened with regard to our invasion into Afghanistan, how we apparently intentionally let bin Laden get away. How we intentionally did not follow the Taliban and al-Qaeda as they were escaping. That was done by the previous administration because they knew very well that if they would capture al-Qaeda, there would be no justification for an invasion in Iraq," Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) said.




So Mr. Hinchey would have us believe that officers in the US military on the ground in Afghanistan, in the Pentagon, and in various points around the globe, all agreed to a command from Bush to allow bin Laden to escape.  In order that bin laden escape, he had to be close to being captured and if so, someone gave the command to let him escape.  Produce one person who knows of this, and we can have trials and prison sentences.

Otherwise Mr. Hinchey, you are a liar, and a propogator of hate and lies, and slander.

Please go away with Michael Moore to Tahiti, you can help him with his McDonalds franchise.  Otherwise, when you run again for the office you currently hold from the 22nd district of NY, I will send as much money as I can to your opponent, and will do so until you end up fired by the people.

Michael Moore Speaks

November 30th, 2009 3:44 AM




An Open Letter to President Obama from Michael Moore



Dear President Obama,

Do you really want to be the new "war president"? If you go to West Point tomorrow night (Tuesday, 8pm) and announce that you are increasing, rather than withdrawing, the troops in Afghanistan, you are the new war president. Pure and simple. And with that you will do the worst possible thing you could do -- destroy the hopes and dreams so many millions have placed in you. With just one speech tomorrow night you will turn a multitude of young people who were the backbone of your campaign into disillusioned cynics. You will teach them what they've always heard is true -- that all politicians are alike. I simply can't believe you're about to do what they say you are going to do. Please say it isn't so.

It is not your job to do what the generals tell you to do. We are a civilian-run government. WE tell the Joint Chiefs what to do, not the other way around. That's the way General Washington insisted it must be. That's what President Truman told General MacArthur when MacArthur wanted to invade China. "You're fired!," said Truman, and that was that. And you should have fired Gen. McChrystal when he went to the press to preempt you, telling the press what YOU had to do. Let me be blunt: We love our kids in the armed services, but we f*#&in' hate these generals, from Westmoreland in Vietnam to, yes, even Colin Powell for lying to the UN with his made-up drawings of WMD (he has since sought redemption).

So now you feel backed into a corner. 30 years ago this past Thursday (Thanksgiving) the Soviet generals had a cool idea -- "Let's invade Afghanistan!" Well, that turned out to be the final nail in the USSR coffin.

There's a reason they don't call Afghanistan the "Garden State" (though they probably should, seeing how the corrupt President Karzai, whom we back, has his brother in the heroin trade raising poppies). Afghanistan's nickname is the "Graveyard of Empires." If you don't believe it, give the British a call. I'd have you call Genghis Khan but I lost his number. I do have Gorbachev's number though. It's + 41 22 789 1662. I'm sure he could give you an earful about the historic blunder you're about to commit.

With our economic collapse still in full swing and our precious young men and women being sacrificed on the altar of arrogance and greed, the breakdown of this great civilization we call America will head, full throttle, into oblivion if you become the "war president." Empires never think the end is near, until the end is here. Empires think that more evil will force the heathens to toe the line -- and yet it never works. The heathens usually tear them to shreds.

Choose carefully, President Obama. You of all people know that it doesn't have to be this way. You still have a few hours to listen to your heart, and your own clear thinking. You know that nothing good can come from sending more troops halfway around the world to a place neither you nor they understand, to achieve an objective that neither you nor they understand, in a country that does not want us there. You can feel it in your bones.

I know you know that there are LESS than a hundred al-Qaeda left in Afghanistan! A hundred thousand troops trying to crush a hundred guys living in caves? Are you serious? Have you drunk Bush's Kool-Aid? I refuse to believe it.

Your potential decision to expand the war (while saying that you're doing it so you can "end the war") will do more to set your legacy in stone than any of the great things you've said and done in your first year. One more throwing a bone from you to the Republicans and the coalition of the hopeful and the hopeless may be gone -- and this nation will be back in the hands of the haters quicker than you can shout "tea bag!"

Choose carefully, Mr. President. Your corporate backers are going to abandon you as soon as it is clear you are a one-term president and that the nation will be safely back in the hands of the usual idiots who do their bidding. That could be Wednesday morning.

We the people still love you. We the people still have a sliver of hope. But we the people can't take it anymore. We can't take your caving in, over and over, when we elected you by a big, wide margin of millions to get in there and get the job done. What part of "landslide victory" don't you understand?

Don't be deceived into thinking that sending a few more troops into Afghanistan will make a difference, or earn you the respect of the haters. They will not stop until this country is torn asunder and every last dollar is extracted from the poor and soon-to-be poor. You could send a million troops over there and the crazy Right still wouldn't be happy. You would still be the victim of their incessant venom on hate radio and television because no matter what you do, you can't change the one thing about yourself that sends them over the edge.

The haters were not the ones who elected you, and they can't be won over by abandoning the rest of us.

President Obama, it's time to come home. Ask your neighbors in Chicago and the parents of the young men and women doing the fighting and dying if they want more billions and more troops sent to Afghanistan. Do you think they will say, "No, we don't need health care, we don't need jobs, we don't need homes. You go on ahead, Mr. President, and send our wealth and our sons and daughters overseas, 'cause we don't need them, either."

What would Martin Luther King, Jr. do? What would your grandmother do? Not send more poor people to kill other poor people who pose no threat to them, that's what they'd do. Not spend billions and trillions to wage war while American children are sleeping on the streets and standing in bread lines.

All of us that voted and prayed for you and cried the night of your victory have endured an Orwellian hell of eight years of crimes committed in our name: torture, rendition, suspension of the bill of rights, invading nations who had not attacked us, blowing up neighborhoods that Saddam "might" be in (but never was), slaughtering wedding parties in Afghanistan. We watched as hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians were slaughtered and tens of thousands of our brave young men and women were killed, maimed, or endured mental anguish -- the full terror of which we scarcely know.

When we elected you we didn't expect miracles. We didn't even expect much change. But we expected some. We thought you would stop the madness. Stop the killing. Stop the insane idea that men with guns can reorganize a nation that doesn't even function as a nation and never, ever has.

Stop, stop, stop! For the sake of the lives of young Americans and Afghan civilians, stop. For the sake of your presidency, hope, and the future of our nation, stop. For God's sake, stop.

Tonight we still have hope.

Tomorrow, we shall see. The ball is in your court. You DON'T have to do this. You can be a profile in courage. You can be your mother's son.

We're counting on you.

Yours,

Michael Moore

*********************************************

Dear Michael Moore,

It is obvious you have passion.  It is also crystal clear you hate the United States and its supremacy in the world.  It is likewise crystal clear you prefer nearly any other political system to our own.  The HATERS are not the only ones figuring that out.  Simply check out boxofficemojo for your last piece of tripe - your revenues are down considerably (in case you haven't checked recently $14 million). I admit I don't know the cost, but certainly your profits took a nose dive along with your investors. 

It is clear your time is coming to an end, and after reviewing your complaints in SICKO, CAPITALISM, and the various letters you have published on your website - I have considered your points and found them lacking.  You have been measured against the long standard we all stand before, and have been found seriously wanting.  Your condo overlooks the park and I am sure somewhere in the residence you call home, you can also see the Atlantic.  Spare us your drivel and contempt.  It is not just the HATERS who find you loathesome, even your moderate left have abandoned you, and the people who elected Obama - the independents, find you contemptible.  It wasn't you and the other loser lefties who elected Obama.  Did you really believe it was Michael?  It was the independents.  You and the entire bunch of the loser lefties can't elect a dog catcher - you need the middle, and you lost them with Bowling for Columbine.

Please Michael, we know you have it in you, we know you have some sense of urgency deep down inside, to simply stop, and go away.  Buy yourself a McDonalds franchise on a Tahitian island and disappear.  No one will be disappointed - not even your wife.


P.S. - What are you doing up at 3:44 am.  I hope you are not heading out to IHOP for pancakes!  You have a room you can turn into a gym - go for it.  Even 5 minutes a day!  And then when you get to Tahiti, you will be a svelte size 80.

P.S.S. -  I am sorry Michael, I know, you are just big boned.

Obama Speaks

It has now been 10 months since I have watched ANY news or any network television of ANY kind / type / form (with one exception - '24'). Therefore, I could not possibly have heard His Majesty speak to his subjects tonight. To ensure I wasn't saddled with that burden, I went to a movie - unrealistic, futuristic, sci-fi, and silly. I learned more.

I did read what he said.

On paper, his words sound grand. In person, he speaks well, perhaps one of the best speakers - which is why he was selected.

Without his teleprompter he is as unintelligible as Bush was, on a bad day. He desperately needs that teleprompter. God forbid the electricity goes out. The empty suit will be just that - empty.

His speech, in words only - soaring. Aspirational, and just as divisive and empty as every other speech he has given. He speaks of an interest in all ideas - yet he has not spoken to Republicans since May, about any idea.

Either Republicans have no ideas - possibly, or he is a liar (which, given the evidence is also possible). He was just as divisive in his speech tonight as he has been in every other speech he has given- us versus them. He has defined the battle - them versus us, and it is THE ONE he utilizes again and again.

To understand Obama, one needs to understand how Chicago politics works and has worked - grease the palms, look the other way, utilize every resource possible, with every possible means of denial, and divide your enemy to make it easier to conquer. Play everyone against everyone and then swoop in and play the peacemaker, while ignoring the facts of your role in creating the mess.

The other prerequisite to understanding Obama is Marxist thought - struggle. Us versus them. Rich versus poor. the Have's versus the Have Nots. The right (those who care) versus the wrong (those who don't care), and in every revolution one appeals to the poor while speaking to the masses.

When you marry the two - Marxist process with Chicago politics we see several overlapping areas - and it is these areas Obama excels in. It sounds great - us versus them, we who want to help versus they who want to obstruct, except it requires you to feel and emote, not think.

If you think, if you evaluate and analyze what he says, a fraction as much as you dissected anything Bush said, it is clear how divisive what he said really is, and worse - how empty his words.

It is a risk he is taking. A serious risk. If he loses, his entire playbook goes down in flames - he has nothing else. His methodology is always the same - us versus them. If it succeeds, he wins again, and we risk even more. My 'feeling' is many people will emote - his popularity will jump. His disapproval rating is at 49% as of Tuesday. I suspect his disapproval rating will drop into the mid - 30s. That is all great for Obama - except you cannot use the same dog and pony show EVERY TIME you speak. In time, eventually, people will tire of it, and you end up with disapproval ratings you cannot lower, because you only have one program and the voters grew tired of being manipulated.

We have a little less than 14 months and the Congress will have to put the decision before the people. Today over 1.5 million petitions were delivered to Congress - keep your hands off our medical care. There are about 80 million voters. 1 out of 80 people said no. That is significant even if Pelosi doesn't care. Apparently Obama and the Democrat's don't care - they plan to ram it through one way or another.

Independent voters have, until tonight, abandoned Obama. He will get some back, but they will be wary. All voters are not like Chicago voters.

Things are changing Mr. Obama, and hopefully in the next 14 months we will see some change. Change that will result in your liberal friends being swept out of Congress, followed in three years by your retirement. Hopefully, God willing (and you know a lot about God, you have invoked Him enough) you will all be swept away to the dustbin where you, and those ideological values you espouse and promote, belong.


[Of course his medical plan (which he doesn't have) would not cover illegals - first, find his immigration proposals. Anyone in the US for 24 hours would be eligible to be made legal. Therefore, no one who is illegal would get medical care. Absolutely true - they would all be made legal before hand. Apparently his disapproval numbers on health care just hit 52%. Maybe I was wrong. We will see by Monday night with new polling data from Thursday through the weekend.]

Hate Crime? Jesse and Al ... where are you???

When you commit violance upon a person because of their race or ethnicity - it is, according to the law - a hate crime.





Akron police investigate teen mob attack on family

By Phil Trexler
Beacon Journal staff writer
Jul 07, 2009

Akron police say they aren't ready to call it a hate crime or a gang initiation.

But to Marty Marshall, his wife and two kids, it seems pretty clear.

It came after a family night of celebrating America and freedom with a fireworks show at Firestone Stadium. Marshall, his family and two friends were gathered outside a friend's home in South Akron.

Out of nowhere, the six were attacked by dozens of teenage boys, who shouted ''This is our world'' and ''This is a black world'' as they confronted Marshall and his family.

The Marshalls, who are white, say the crowd of teens who attacked them and two friends June 27 on Girard Street numbered close to 50. The teens were all black.

''This was almost like being a terrorist act,'' Marshall said. ''And we allow this to go on in our neighborhoods?''

They said it started when one teen, without any words or warning, blindsided and assaulted Marshall's friend as he stood outside with the others.

When Marshall, 39, jumped in, he found himself being attacked by the growing group of teens.
His daughter, Rachel, 15, who weighs about 90 pounds, tried to come to his rescue. The teens pushed her to the ground.

His wife, Yvonne, pushed their son, Donald, 14, into bushes to keep him protected.

''My thing is,'' Marshall said, ''I didn't want this, but I was in fear for my wife, my kids and my friends. I felt I had to stay out there to protect them, because those guys were just jumping, swinging fists and everything.

''I'm lucky. They didn't break my ribs or bruise my ribs. I thank God, they concentrated on my thick head because I do have one. They were trying to take my head off my spine, basically.''

After several minutes of punches and kicks, the attack ended and the group ran off. The Marshalls' two adult male friends were not seriously hurt.

''I don't think I thought at that moment when I tried to jump in,'' Rachel Marshall said. ''But when I was laying on the ground, I was just scared.''

Marshall was the most seriously injured. He suffered a concussion and multiple bruises to his head and eye. He said he spent five nights in the critical care unit at Akron General Medical Center.

The construction worker said he now fears for his family's safety, and the thousands of dollars in medical bills he faces without insurance.

''I knew I was going to get beat, but not as bad as I did,'' Marshall said. ''But I did it to protect my family. I didn't have a choice. There was no need for this. We should be all getting along. But to me, it seems to be racist.''

Akron police are investigating. Right now, the case is not being classified as a racial hate crime. There were no other reports of victims assaulted by the group that night.

The department's gang unit is involved in the investigation, police said.

''We don't know if it's a known gang, or just a group of kids,'' police Lt. Rick Edwards said.

The Marshalls say they fear retaliation at home or when they go outside. They are considering arming themselves, but they're concerned about the possible problems that come with guns.

For now, they are hoping police can bring them suspects. They believe they can identify several of the attackers.

''This makes you think about your freedom,'' Marshall said. ''In all reality, where is your freedom when you have this going on?''

Gore: Self Serving Liar

CNN's John Roberts Fails to Press Gore on Bush Criticism Whopper

Newsbusters.org
By Matthew Balan
Created 2009-05-15 17:14

CNN anchor John Roberts failed to catch former Vice President Al Gore make a significant exaggeration about his criticism of the Bush administration in its early years during an interview on Friday’s American Morning. When asked about former Vice President Dick Cheney’s recent criticism of the Obama administration, Gore claimed that he had “waited two years after I left office to make statements that were critical, and then of the policy.” In reality, he made a significant policy speech denouncing the Bush administration’s pre-war policy towards Iraq in September 2002. CNN itself reported on the speech, which was made in San Francisco in front of the Commonwealth Club. Later, when Gore said that he didn’t “want to get dragged into an argument with Dick Cheney about what he’s getting into,” Roberts joked sarcastically, “Oh, Mr. Vice President, you know I would never try to do that with you.”

Roberts’s taped interview of Gore aired in three parts, and his questions to Gore about Cheney came during the second part, which began at the bottom half of the 7 pm Eastern hour of the CNN program. The anchor asked the former vice president, “You were a big critic of the previous administration, particularly in the run-up to the war and thereafter. What do you think of Vice President Cheney’s statements that the Obama administration’s policies are leaving this country less safe?”

Gore replied, “Well, obviously, I strongly disagree, and, you know, I waited two years after I left office to make statements that were critical, and then of the policy. You know, you talk about somebody that shouldn’t be talking about making the country less safe, invading a country that did not attack us and posed no serious threat to us at all. You know, he can speak for himself, and I have a feeling that members of his own party wish that he would not do that. But I’ll let that be an argument between him and them.”

Gore is playing with the historical record, as he blasted the Bush administration and its allies in the Commonwealth Club speech on September 23, 2002 [1]:

By shifting from his early focus after September 11th on war against terrorism to war against Iraq, the President has manifestly disposed of the sympathy, good will and solidarity compiled by America and transformed it into a sense of deep misgiving and even hostility. In just one year, the President has somehow squandered the international outpouring of sympathy, goodwill and solidarity that followed the attacks of September 11th and converted it into anger and apprehension aimed much more at the United States than at the terrorist network.....

The Bush Administration may now be realizing that national and international cohesion are strategic assets. But it is a lesson long delayed and clearly not uniformly and consistently accepted by senior members of the cabinet. From the outset, the Administration has operated in a manner calculated to please the portion of its base that occupies the far right, at the expense of solidarity among Americans and between America and her allies....

Far more damaging, however, is the Administration’s attack on fundamental constitutional rights. The idea that an American citizen can be imprisoned without recourse to judicial process or remedies, and that this can be done on the say-so of the President or those acting in his name, is beyond the pale.

The CNN report from the next day [2] highlighted that Gore “warned Monday that President Bush’s doctrine allowing for a ‘pre-emptive’ strike against Iraq could create a global ‘reign of fear.’” It added that the former vice president, “[w]hile backing Bush’s overall goal of ousting Saddam and eliminating Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction...questioned the timing of a military strike, as envisioned in the proposed resolution he’s sent to Capitol Hill.” As a White House correspondent for CBS News at the time, it is likely that Roberts was aware of Gore’s 2002 speech, and you would think that he would recall it.

The report also mentioned that Gore’s Commonwealth Club speech was “first major speech on the situation in Iraq since February [2002].” The New York Times reported on this prior speech [3], in which the former vice president “generally praised President Bush's performance since Sept. 11, but raised questions about how Mr. Bush had worked with other nations in the war in Afghanistan and against Al Qaeda.” He also apparently “went to great lengths to avoid being portrayed as criticizing a sitting president during a war.”

Roberts followed-up to his first question by trying again to get Gore to criticize Cheney: “Are you suggesting that it is unusual for a former vice president, former administration official that high-ranking to come out this early in a new administration and be this critical?” Gore tried to be more nuanced in his answer, which lead to Roberts’s sarcastic rejoinder:

GORE: You know, look, that’s a judgment call and he’s made his judgment. He has become, in many ways, the leading spokesman for his party during this period of time, and the message is one that he’s deciding to deliver. Look, I’m going to focus on trying to build bipartisan alliances around this country for American leadership to solve the climate crisis, and I don’t want to get dragged into an argument with Dick Cheney about what -- what he’s getting into. So I’m just going to let him speak for himself.

ROBERTS (with sarcasm): Oh, Mr. Vice President, you know I would -- I would never try to do that with you. (laughs)

GORE: (laughs) You’re good at your job, John.

The anchor closed the interview by getting the former vice president’s take on the Obama administration’s performance so far:

ROBERTS: Let me ask you about the new administration. How do you think they’re doing so far?

GORE: I think they’re doing amazingly well. I think that he is moving forward on all fronts in a very intelligent, focused and committed way -- that is exactly what the country needs. There’s room for disagreement on this policy or that policy, but overall, I think that the American people are responding the same way I am. And by the way, I think he’s done a terrific job of reaching out to his opposition.

ROBERTS: Even though he only got three Republicans in the Senate to vote for the stimulus package, and none of them voted for his budget?

GORE: Correct, and I don’t think that's to be laid at his feet. I think that the efforts that he has made and continues to make may well bear fruit later on.

ROBERTS: And are you confident that all of this money, all of these trillions of dollars are being spent wisely?

GORE: Yes. Whenever you have programs of this size, you will always find critics to pick out one or two things and spin them in a negative way. But, by in large, I think they’ve set the right priorities and that they’re doing an excellent job. Yes.

Hollywood does the Obamanation 2

There is nothing new about Barack - he is a socialist. He feigns his dislike for government involvement - which means nothing. He says one thing and does another, and then uses the economy as excuses. He is an old time socialist in 21st century wrappings, intent on ridding the world of the evil of 'unregulated' capitalism (which leaves socialism).

He is no different, his administration has already been riddled with fiasco's and scandals - no one it seems pays taxes except for the Middle Class who will, shortly be paying more under Obama's future plans than they are now. And his storytelling that his programs will reduce taxes for a majority ... in some ways it does - it reduces (by returning money never given) taxes on the poorest and lower middle classes, and takes from everyone else. Even with that simplistic analysis, he is not different.

His tone, his actions, his behavior - nothing has changed.

And the Hollywood crowd are simply hateful, vile, and disgusting ...





Not funny: Barack Obama laughs at Wanda Sykes "joke" about wanting Rush Limbaugh dead

Toby Harnden

Telegraph.co.uk


What was Wanda Sykes thinking? Perhaps more to the point, what was President Barack Obama thinking when he laughed and smiled as the comedienne wished Rush Limbaugh dead?

Although the Left is reporting her White House Correspondents' Dinner speech as "taking shots" at Limbaugh and mocking everyone, that's a gross misrepresentation of what turned into a hateful and disgusting diatribe.

I was at the dinner and I began by laughing at Sykes's gentle teases about the press loving Obama so much they never capture him on film smoking but often seem to get him on the beach.

It was amusing when she quipped that Obama trying so hard to be all things to all men that the next thing is he'll be seen mowing the White House lawn.

But the speech took a very ugly turn when she laid into Limbaugh.

This is what she said: "Rush Limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails, so you're saying, 'I hope America fails', you're, like, 'I dont care about people losing their homes, their jobs, our soldiers in Iraq'. He just wants the country to fail. To me, that's treason.

"He's not saying anything differently than what Osama bin Laden is saying. You know, you might want to look into this, sir, because I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker. But he was just so strung out on OxyContin he missed his flight."

She then concluded: "Rush Limbaugh, I hope the country fails, I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? He needs a good waterboarding, that's what he needs." Obama seemed to think this bit was pretty hilarious, grinning and chuckling and turning to share the "joke" with the person sitting on his right.

There's not much room for differing interpretations of what Sykes said. She called Limbaugh a terrorist and a traitor, suggested that he be tortured and wished him dead.

What was his crime? Hoping that Obama's policies - which he views as socialist - will fail.

That's way, way beyond reasoned debate or comedy and Obama's reaction to it was astonishing.
Imagine if a comedian "joked" that Obama was a terrorist who was guilty of treason and should be tortured and allowed to die. There would justifiably be an outcry.

But when the "joke" comes from a liberal, Obama-supporting comedienne and the target is a right-winger then the likes of Hilary Rosen and Donna Brazile are on CNN saying it's just comedy and Limbaugh is "fair game".

And Obama laughing when someone wishes Limbaugh dead? Hard to take from the man who promised a new era of civility and elevated debate in Washington.

Milbank: The Angry Left

Lefties are unhinged. That is not to say some retardicans are not also unhinged, but it is, as Milbank points out, understandable why Republicans would be upset - they lost the Congress in 2006 and the White House in 2008. Why are liberals still upset? And I believe the answer was in the Milbank article - Leftists are naturally an unhappy group. They are always upset about something. People who are perpetually unhappy need a locus for that unhappiness - when Bush was in the White House, all their animus was directed toward him. He is gone, as are all Republicans yet the liberals are still unhinged.





Next Choler, Please

By Dana Milbank
Washington Post
Sunday, April 19, 2009

Dear Reader:
I wish to apologize to you for my behavior last week.

On Tuesday, I learned that I am a right-wing hack. I am not a journalist. I am typical of the right wing. I am why newspapers are going broke. I write garbage. I am angry with Barack Obama. I misquote Obama. I am bitter. I am a certified idiot. I am lame. I am a Republican flack.

On Thursday, I realized that I am a media pimp with my lips on Obama's butt. I am a bleeding-heart liberal who wants nothing more than for the right to fall on its face. I am part of the ObamaMedia. I am pimping for the left. I am carrying water for Obama. Lord, am I an idiot.

I discovered all this from the helpful feedback provided to me in the "reader comments" section at the end of my past four columns on washingtonpost.com. I undertook this exercise on the advice of former washingtonpost.com editor Doug Feaver, who wrote on these pages recently that journalists need to take the comments seriously ["Listening to the Dot-Comments," op-ed, April 9]. Further, he added in his blog, "those who don't are making a mistake."

Now, I may be a pimp and an idiot -- but I did not want to make a mistake. So I reviewed all 1,800 comments posted on my columns over the course of a week. As a sociological experiment, it was fascinating.

The comments are naturally an unscientific indicator, but the impression I got is consistent with what I've heard from colleagues: The vitriol of last year's presidential campaign has outlasted the election. For the right, this isn't terribly surprising; their guys lost the White House in 2008 and control of both chambers of Congress in 2006, so lashing out in frustration is to be expected.

The left, however, is more difficult to explain. It made sense for them to be angry when George W. Bush was in the White House. But now, even under Obama, the anger on the left is, if anything, more personal and vitriolic than on the right.

A reader in an online chat brought this to my attention a couple of months ago, noting the animosity in the comments following a column. "Did you torture their cats and grandmothers? Most of the truly unhinged comments appear to come from Democrats, who apparently think you're Cindy McCain in reverse drag."

I replied that, to keep my blood pressure under control, I don't read the comments, and that I did, in fact, torture their cats.

Well, last week I read the comments. On April 10, I wrote a column about an Obama appearance urging Americans to refinance their mortgages -- a fairly gentle piece pointing out that the president sounded like a LendingTree.com pitchman. The comments compared me to Bernard Goldberg and Glenn Beck. One complained that "I gave Bush and the Republicans a pass."

Actually, a National Review column called me "the most anti-Bush reporter" in the White House press corps, but never mind that. "Uh oh, Milbank," wrote commenter "farfalle44." "Now the Obamabots have labeled you an Obama hater -- watch out!"

For Thursday's column, I criticized the "tea party" outside the White House. Conservatives left hundreds of indignant comments -- I was an Obama "lap dog" and "licking Obama's shoes" -- but that didn't buy me credibility with the left. "You do a real good job of attracting all the ill-informed, mathematically challenged, left-wing haters," said one reader. "I bet ya mom's really proud!"

So why is the left so angry? I don't know (I'm an idiot), so I put the question to the readers in my weekly online chat on Friday.

A reader from Rockville described it as a "sore winner" phenomenon. "People get used to being angry and when things change, they don't. So they find stuff to be mad about." Another said that some on the left "feel obligated to stay in the fight" because of the harsh treatment of Obama by the right.

But many focused on a frustration on the left caused by Obama's centrism -- his opposition to prosecuting those involved with torture, for example. "I am angry because the whole Republican party has not been rounded up and thrown into a black site," one wrote. A reader in Evanston, Ill., took a similar view, that true believers on the left don't want "b.s. rhetoric about looking forward." Okay, but why wouldn't this be directed at Obama? Readers explained that some of it is. But, "if we yell obscenities at Obama," replied a reader in Dunnellon, Fla., "we get a visit from the Secret Service. Yelling them at you is worry-free."

So the angry left should thank me: I'm taking one for the team.

Disgraceful Behavior

NOVEMBER 5, 2008


The Treatment of Bush Has Been a Disgrace
What must our enemies be thinking?

By JEFFREY SCOTT SHAPIRO

Earlier this year, 12,000 people in San Francisco signed a petition in support of a proposition on a local ballot to rename an Oceanside sewage plant after George W. Bush. The proposition is only one example of the classless disrespect many Americans have shown the president.

According to recent Gallup polls, the president's average approval rating is below 30% -- down from his 90% approval in the wake of 9/11. Mr. Bush has endured relentless attacks from the left while facing abandonment from the right.

This is the price Mr. Bush is paying for trying to work with both Democrats and Republicans. During his 2004 victory speech, the president reached out to voters who supported his opponent, John Kerry, and said, "Today, I want to speak to every person who voted for my opponent. To make this nation stronger and better, I will need your support, and I will work to earn it. I will do all I can do to deserve your trust."

Those bipartisan efforts have been met with crushing resistance from both political parties.

The president's original Supreme Court choice of Harriet Miers alarmed Republicans, while his final nomination of Samuel Alito angered Democrats. His solutions to reform the immigration system alienated traditional conservatives, while his refusal to retreat in Iraq has enraged liberals who have unrealistic expectations about the challenges we face there.

It seems that no matter what Mr. Bush does, he is blamed for everything. He remains despised by the left while continuously disappointing the right.

Yet it should seem obvious that many of our country's current problems either existed long before Mr. Bush ever came to office, or are beyond his control. Perhaps if Americans stopped being so divisive, and congressional leaders came together to work with the president on some of these problems, he would actually have had a fighting chance of solving them.

Like the president said in his 2004 victory speech, "We have one country, one Constitution and one future that binds us. And when we come together and work together, there is no limit to the greatness of America."

To be sure, Mr. Bush is not completely alone. His low approval ratings put him in the good company of former Democratic President Harry S. Truman, whose own approval rating sank to 22% shortly before he left office. Despite Mr. Truman's low numbers, a 2005 Wall Street Journal poll found that he was ranked the seventh most popular president in history.

Just as Americans have gained perspective on how challenging Truman's presidency was in the wake of World War II, our country will recognize the hardship President Bush faced these past eight years -- and how extraordinary it was that he accomplished what he did in the wake of the September 11 attacks.

The treatment President Bush has received from this country is nothing less than a disgrace. The attacks launched against him have been cruel and slanderous, proving to the world what little character and resolve we have. The president is not to blame for all these problems. He never lost faith in America or her people, and has tried his hardest to continue leading our nation during a very difficult time.

Our failure to stand by the one person who continued to stand by us has not gone unnoticed by our enemies. It has shown to the world how disloyal we can be when our president needed loyalty -- a shameful display of arrogance and weakness that will haunt this nation long after Mr. Bush has left the White House.

Mr. Shapiro is an investigative reporter and lawyer who previously interned with John F. Kerry's legal team during the presidential election in 2004.

Hate Crimes Against Muslims: One incident

Defendant: Safia Z. Jilani(Law enforcement handout photo / October 17, 2008)

Charge:
Filing a false police report

Jilani, a Muslim student, who said a masked gunman assaulted her on October 9, 2008 after he wrote anti-Muslim slurs in a women's restroom at Elmhurst College. Jilani, 19, of Oak Brook, was arrested a week later after authorities concluded there was no merit to her complaint.

"The totality of all the evidence, and interviews with staff and students at the college ... concluded that this incident never happened," said Elmhurst Police Chief Steve Neubauer.

Jilani's report of an attack followed several weeks of tension on campus that began when some students allegedly called anti-Muslim slurs at students protesting the treatment of U.S. captives at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp.

As officials at the private college, affiliated with the United Church of Christ, called the incident a hate crime, hundreds of students rallied to show solidarity with their Muslim peers, who constitute about 25 of the school's 3,300 students.


I thought it was interesting.




Muslims

I admit, 8 years is very little time to have taught, and to make a statement as broad as I am about to make, but ...
I have never read anything so vapid, ignorant, inspidly petty, and or hateful as the below comments, from any student. These words when spoken were in a category of ignorance par none. They are hateful, stupid, inspidly ignorant, and mad eus all dumber for having heard/read them.

These are not the proletariat who made the stunningly ignorant statements - they are the elite, in whatever field.

It is sickening.

Hamas - We want death not peace

The highlighted paragraph is the most telling.

We find people in this country who operate under some delusion that the Palestinians have a base of information and knowledge beyond that which is fed to them by the most narrow minded myopic purveyors of death in the Middle East - they do not. They know what they are told and nothing more. They know what they are fed, and nothing more, and their source for information are other less than knowledgeable mental midgets - in most cases, their Imams, on Friday.

They will attack Israel with these missile barrages. Why? because Israel killed people who were firing missiles and shooting into Israel or at Israelis. Why else? because in response to Palestinians shooting missiles into Israel, Israel closed its border with Gaza - which is, for everyone who is unaware and living in mental midget land - the right of any nation - to close its border.

They demonstrate infantile analysis of the rights of others while placing enormous importance upon their barbaric deeds.

And they believe Israel will not take full military action against them. they believe that somehow they can survive such an onslaught. They believe? based on the nonsense their Imams are telling them - not from a cold hard understanding of what will follow.

There was a time I was tolerant of the Palestinians and their interests. That was long ago washed away by their reign of terror and hate. They claim Israel started it - I have heard that before - usually from children. No one forces you to become a murdering socio-path. No one. Not environmental conditions, not genes, not living conditions. If these barbarians were to ONLY select Israeli soldiers, only shoot at and only attack Israeli soldiers - it would be more reasonable. They choose to kill everyone, and Israel has the right to respond in kind, but they do not - when innocents are killed, it is usually due to Hamas using the women and children as weapons (to carry explosives) or as places for Hamas to hide behind.

When Israel does go in to Gaza, I hope they clean out the rats nest without harming innocents, unfortunately, Hamas want women and children killed. They need women and children killed to satisfy their blood lust, and their warped sense of purpose. It is unfortunate that Israel places a greater value on the women and children's lives than do the husbands and fathers of those innocents. Israel sees them as human beings - perhaps as future or potential aggressors, but innocent for the most part. Hamas / the husbands and fathers see them as future martyrs to die. There is a difference. One values life, the other values death. A statement made long ago by Golda Meir, applies even more today than ever before -

“We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us”

Until then -





Cease-fire in Gaza Strip unravels

By Ethan Bronner and Taghreed El-Khodary
Published: November 14, 2008
International herald Tribune

JERUSALEM: Tensions between Hamas, the radical Palestinian rulers of Gaza, and Israel increased markedly on Friday after Hamas fired a barrage of rockets into southern Israel, sending 18 Israelis to the hospital with shock and mild injuries.

Hamas officials said the attack was revenge for the deaths over the past 11 days of 11 militants and the recent increased Israeli closure of Gaza crossings. They said that while they wanted to continue the five-month-old truce with Israel, it seemed to them that Israel did not and if that was the case, Israel would pay the consequences.

Israeli officials, who say they have been keeping the crossings into Gaza shut in retaliation for the rockets, thereby greatly decreasing the supply of supplies and fuel, said it was Hamas that was breaking the truce. Senior Israeli officials met in Tel Aviv on Friday and vowed not to back down from any provocation.

The confrontations, following five months of relative calm, began to spike earlier this month when the Israeli military destroyed a tunnel being dug toward Israel. The army feared that the tunnel would be used to seize an Israeli soldier as a bargaining chip, like Corporal Gilad Shalit, held by Hamas for more than two years.

The Israelis said it was a one-off operation, not a violation of the ceasefire agreed to in June, and asked Egypt to pass that message to Hamas in advance. But six Hamas militants were killed during the tunnel's destruction, leading Hamas to retaliate with rockets, which led to more closures and operations and then more rockets.

Obama and McCain: Where do we Find Hate and Violence - Real Cases, not Imaginary

Obama Supporter Beats a McCain Supporter (who happens to be a little old lady)


October 17, 2008 - by Oleg Atbashian

While the Democrat-leaning media continues to scare undecided voters with bedtime stories about some mythical angry McCain supporter whom nobody has seen (in large part because NO ONE SAW and no one but one media person heard this imaginary person the US Secret Service do not believe exists), here is a real district attorney’s complaint documenting an unprovoked assault by an enraged Democrat against a McCain volunteer in midtown Manhattan: “Defendant grabbed the sign [informant] was holding, broke the wood stick that was attached to it, and then struck informant in informant’s face thereby causing informant to sustain redness, swelling, and bruising to informant’s face and further causing informant to sustain substantial pain.”

The overly formal document doesn’t mention this important detail: the victim was a small, quiet, middle-aged woman wearing glasses, and the attacker was a loud, angry man who went into orbit at the mere sight of McCain campaign signs.
On a Monday afternoon, September 15, 2008, three McCain volunteers were holding campaign signs and distributing leaflets on a busy corner of 51st Street and Lexington Avenue. As they were peacefully talking to each other, they were approached by a man who, in the words of the victim, provided the impression of “a rather benign, doughy-looking guy — not a person I would have expected to assault me.”

He rushed towards them, grabbed a McCain sign off a volunteer’s hands, and tore it apart. That didn’t seem enough.

I said, “What are you doing? You can’t do that!” And he was red in the face screaming, “You people are ridiculous!” And I said, “Yeah, whatever, but you can’t do that.”
So I reached for the sign that he ripped up, and he grabbed another sign, broke it, and ripped it to shreds. And when I said, “You can’t do that,” he took the stick from the sign and started beating me on the head with it. He broke the skin on my head, he scratched my wrist, and almost broke my glasses, and then he left.
I followed him down the stairs to the subway until I could get the police and I said, “You’re not going to get away with it.” And as soon as he saw the police he immediately went calm. He still had the stick in his hand, and you could see the injury on my face, and he admitted it. He was arrested. He actually said, “I don’t know why I did this. It’s just those signs, and this election, it has me so upset.”
Some people are losing control, and it’s not the people on the right. Never have I seen that behavior with any of the people on my side of the fence. … It’s just not our way. Look at us, most of us have never been protesters. … Do I feel that the left is aggressive and potentially violent? Yes, because we’ve all seen it. I certainly have … firsthand!

Girl called racist for wearing Palin t-shirt
Friday, 17 Oct 2008

By Melissa DiPane FOX 35 NEWS

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- She's only 12 years old but Ashleigh Jones is feeling the heat of this election year. That’s because the seventh grader at New Smyrna Beach Middle School was called a racist by classmates for wearing a pro-Sarah Palin t-shirt. Jones is volunteering at the Republican Headquarters in New Smyrna Beach. The Palin t-shirt was a gift from her fellow volunteers.

The Hateful Left: Palin

I just arrived home, opened the sliding doors and a couple windows and turned the outside fan on to circulate air. What wafted in from outside was a fragrance I had smelled many times when I was much younger - someone was smoking something within a reasonably close proximity to my back door - or there was just a lot of it and it was further away.

Got me to thinking about the left hate and conspiracy minded loons residing at Daily Kos and other loony left fringe pots (the connection between where the left are located - in fringe POTs and what was wafting in from outside - the stuff being smoked within close proximity to my back yard. Which is not too difficult to understand given the small yards.).

First, sort a few issues out quickly on the right side:
-Obama did attend a madrassa. There is no question about that. Doesn't mean he was Muslim, just that he attended it.
-Some people in the village/city he lived in believed him to be a Muslim based upon his fathers background and the madrassa he attended. They are wrong according to Obama.
-Obama does know Rezko and did receive assistance in the purchase of his home, from Rezko.

The above are facts. We know they are because the evidence exists and no one disputes the details.

Where the right-wing takes the above - becomes spurious.



Where the left wingers go - we know:

Lefty Bloggers Go After Palin's Daughter
Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 5:47 PM

The lefty blogosphere hasn't stopped perpetuating the rumor Sarah Palin "faked" her last pregnancy and are now humiliating her daughter Bristol on the blatantly incorrect suspicion she is the real mother of baby Trig.

"Sarah Palin is NOT the Mother" is the title of this DailyKos blog that accuses Bristol, a completely fit looking adolescent teen, of having a "baby bump" in a photo they allege was taken March 9th of this year. "Sarah, I'm calling you a liar" wrote blogger ArcXIX. "And not even a good one. Trig Paxson Van Palin is not your son. He is your grandson. The sooner you come forward with this revelation to the public, the better. "

Not only is the DailyKos disgustingly inspecting Bristol's midriff with all the fervor of LA paparrazzi examining J-Lo's or Jennifer Aniston's washboard stomachs for evidence of a "bump" DailyKos is is wrong on when the photo was taken. It was taken, and published, by the Anchorage Daily News in 2006.

Baby Trig, a Down's Syndrome child, was born on April 18, 2008. That's a long time for a teen girl to be carrying a "bump" which looks nothing more than the curve of a tight sweater. Shortly after Palin was announced McCain's VP, bloggers at the Kos started ginning up the rumor Palin faked her pregnancy, allegedly to cover for an illegitimate grandchiled, because she looked so fit and trim in a photo taken a few months before giving birth.

This is only the latest in outrageous attacks against Palin's mothering ability.

[Spelling errors belong to the writer of the above]

Disgusting.

I am often told and reminded that we all love our country, that we are all patriots, that we are all Americans.

I do not love a country that fosters that insidious hatred. I will not align myself with any self-designated patriot who would malign a person as they have in such a hateful manner.

I will not call myself an American if to be American we behave worse to each other than al qaida would treat us were we in their custody.

No - some people may be American by birth or citizenship but they do not represent America nor any American, for we are more than scum sucking lowlifes (the perpetrator of the pernicious attack on Palin and her family).

Ignorant and hateful people.

IRAQ - Excellent News

Democrats pushed for benchmarks and before they could even be implemented, indignantly professed to the world that the US had failed. From day one, liberals have wanted failure in Iraq. So strong is their hate for Bush, animating eveything they do - hate.

So the administration implemented the benchmarks, and now that Iraq has very nearly satisfied all of them - we hear nothing from the anti-Bush corner. Silent as birdseed.




New Iraq report: 15 of 18 benchmarks satisfactory

[...]

The White House sees the progress in a particularly positive light, declaring in a new assessment to Congress that Iraq's efforts on 15 of 18 benchmarks are "satisfactory"—almost twice of what it determined to be the case a year ago.

You're Fat and you look ugly - that's just my opinion

Should opinions matter? Should they, deep down, matter what other people think or say about us. If we believe in ourselves, if we know that we are a good person, kind, caring, compassionate, reasonably bright, interested, funny ... should it matter what other people think. We have friends, a job, maybe a family, even a dog or cat - should it matter what people think.

We all have a need to be accepted. So long recognized that the psychology for this probably goes back to 10,000 BC. Publicly we tell anyone who will listen that we are not interested and do not care what others think of us. When you give advice to your siblings or friends, you tell them not to care what other people think. Do what is right and ignore the noise on the sidelines. When kids tell you that they are pressured to do W, X, Y, or Z, we tell them not to care what people say about us - to be strong.

Why then do we take all that reasonable and wise instruction and throw it out the window when it becomes: The world's opinion of the US.

Why?

Why does it matter what the world thinks, but not what people who live less than a mile from you think - people that will be within your life for your life, or could be - but people in foreign countries, many who only understand the United States from movies, and or from what their governments tell them they need to know - why do they matter more.

Anytime you want to criticize a president - use all the ammunition you can find. if the world likes him - ignore the world. If they hate him - suddenly it is an imperative we change presidents to restore America's image in the eyes of the world.

Political.

Everything seems to be political. Therefore, nothing is of much use as far as wisdom is concerned - just political wisdom, not real wisdom for the ages.


WORLD OPINION

The survey of 24,717 people is the seventh major study conducted by the Pew Global Attitudes Project since 2002.

A few excerpts from the poll:

But for the moment the image of the United States remains largely negative, hurt by the war in Iraq and the mistreatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

Pessimism about the future of Iraq has deepened over the past two years, and most people surveyed want the United States and NATO to withdraw their troops from Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, the survey confirmed, people worldwide acknowledge the ascendancy of China. Many people - including 3 out of 10 Americans - think that China will eventually replace the United States as the world's leading superpower, although no timeframe was specified.

But people are also critical of China, according to the poll, which was conducted shortly after civil unrest broke out in Tibet this spring. Overall favorableness ratings have slipped over the past year; China is seen by many as ignoring the interests of other countries and is faulted for its record on the environment and human rights.

The survey of 24,717 people is the seventh major study conducted by the
Pew Global Attitudes Project since 2002, Bush's second year in office, when the
image of the United States was far more positive, buoyed by world sympathy
following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Buoyed by world sympathy - interesting, that statement. It was before March 2003, so we were still in Afghanistan only, BUT Bush had already used all his adjectives and adverbs concerning bin Laden - dead or alive, with us or against us - all out there by 2002, with world opinion still with us. Odd that is. To listen to liberals in the US, these statements were divisive - apparently not, according to the poll.

So what changed the attitudes - perhaps because the US didn't fling 75 missiles into Afghanistan, blow up crap and then return home, as had been the pattern the previous 8 years. Perhaps the world expected the US to blow off steam, a certain amount was permitted (blowing up crap) as long as we went home afterward - but we didn't, and that irritated the world. Perhaps that is a big chunk of the cause, followed by our media exploitations of every foible and mistake, criminal action, and legitimate acts. The millions of followers of the extremist views of bin Laden do not have their own media - they use ours (and a couple newer ones in the ME). What they know, they know in large part from us, they hear our news, read our editorials, watch the news programs criticizing Bush - and they regurgitate it when it suits them. They are not creative. They attacked the WTC in 1993 and again 8 years later.

So why do we care what the world thinks. I can name eight countries where human slavery is rampant - where children are sold, where women turned into sex slaves. I can name twelve countries where honor killings occur, every day or nearly every day. I can name two countries where the value of life is minimal - they value the unit, the collective, not the individual and the loss of lives is of less interest policy wise than is the loss of a plane or truck, which would be far more valuable.

So why do we care.

- about half the citizens of Lebanon, Jordan, and Morocco think that suicide attacks on Americans in Iraq are justified.

Why do we care what the world thinks and why the hell should we be apologizing for anything.

To be honest, I am looking for an apology from the world -that I have to watch on TV as people in whatever country starve to death because the government wants their land or water or oil, and denies it is killing them as the world nods its head in agreement. I am tired of looking at pages of stats on the numbers of children kidnapped from Europe and taken to North Africa to be sold into slavery, as the world stands by and nods silently in agreement. I am tired of watching as governments pretend they are doing peaceful nuclear and we all know they are making bombs - and the world stands by watching and nodding. I am sick and tired of the mindless fools who shit themselves over global warming yet watch and nod in agreement as a million are butchered in some African country, or tens of thousands are imprisoned in some Asian country. I want an apology from them, after which we can consider apologizing to the world for whatever they feel slighted over.

Perhaps it was little more than jealousy and envy that turned them away from the US. The majority, while not liking the US government, all want to live here. perhaps it is something as simple as caring what other people think because they will get jealous if they see you are living well, free of disease, ample food, traveling, movies, shopping - all without a care in the world. Perhaps the poll taken implies this when they state that what pushed the world away is American exceptionalism--our individualism and our go-it-alone attitude. And it doesn't help that Americans' pervasive religiosity and deep patriotism are often exaggerated by America's critics.

I don't care what they think and it has nothing to do with believing we don't live in the same world and need trade and exchange - they need what we have and we will buy what they have. How they feel about us is immaterial.
