Bill O’reilly finally went to the head of the snake and slapped up a picture of Jon Meacham, fingering him for the far-left turn Newsweek has taken under his editorship. I’ve been following this guy for awhile. He’s the kind of guy the media loves to parade out when they want to talk religion. His mealy-mouthed liberal slant on Christianity has always driven me nuts. I picture myself talking to O’reilly a year ago trying to tell him what kind of guy Meacham really is and having him blow me off as just another far-right guy.



I see some good coming out of this. Meacham is, in my opinion, a phony Christian. A guy who doesn’t really believe the Bible. Thinks it’s all just a bunch of fairy tales and that society should interpret and twist it to a modern liberal end. And this brings me to Rick Warren. Here’s a guy who isn’t in the Meacham vein of religious belief. I would never tar Warren by saying he is like Meacham. But this guy does have some liberal leanings. First there was his alliance with other liberals on global warming. Here is a ridiculous piece from the Christian Science Monitor which never once mentions any Christians who don’t buy into the religious faith of Earth worshiping socialists. Then, what I refer to as the bomb, dropped. A few weeks ago the so-called “Evangelical Manifesto” was unveiled to public. Among the prominent signers was Rick Warren. But I can not think of one conservative Evangelical that signed. Just a whole slew of liberals.



I have to wonder why Warren would go along with something like this? Does he hold some sort of antipathy toward conservative Christians? If nothing else, it shows a willingness to take shortcuts in order to obtain an objective. Considering that there are only eighty signers on the document, he must have known that conservatives were being left out. I mean, come on. I doubt you could convince me that Rick Warren is so dumb that he didn’t know. I think Warren means well and is trying to do some good, but you don’t do good by allying yourself with liberal groups like the NCC and Marxists like Jim Wallis.



Jim Wallis is a despicable left-wing radical who has been at it since the 70’s. I seen him talk many times about how conservatives define morality narrowly by only talking about gay marriage and abortion, but I have never once seen the man talk about his position on these issue. Of course, the liberal media never bothers to ask those questions. So, your really have to wonder if he is pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage. Attacking conservative Wallis said, “I think it’s a great tradition that’s been distorted and hijacked for some time by the religious right and I want to take it back, or try to redeem the language.” He was speaking of Evangelicalism. He says that gay marriage isn’t a big deal compared to some of the other issues we are facing. I.E, I’m pro gay marriage.



I think Rick Warren really needs to rethink his alliances with some of these left-leaning leaders, but I really don’t think the man has the depth of thought to understand the error that he is making. I think leaders such as himself believe that cultivating relationships is more important than standing against the extreme views of some of these men. If Warren was doing due diligence, which I doubt, he would know just where some of these men are coming from and how anti-Christian their agenda is.

Laura Ingraham did a number on Harkin this morning and I don’t think the voters of Iowa escaped unscathed either. Laura quoted from the Des Moines Register article in which Harkin states his belief that John McCain has a warped world-view. She goes on to talk about our men in uniform and really makes Harkin look bad by expanding his claim to encompass all of our brave fighting men. Ooooo, now she is really on a tear. If I heard her right, she just called liberalism a sickness, after coming back to this subject for a second go-round. If only we had more people like her running for public office. Back to the main subject, Laura ends by saying something about getting people to vote for you when you have a head full a mush. An apt description of Harkin. I didn’t see any real reference toward Iowa in this, but I hope the people of Iowa are listening, especially people like myself that want to get rid of this guy for good.

Just got done watching Charlie Rose on PBS. He had on Peter Matthiessen, author of the fictional book Shadow Country. I know nothing about this book and probably don’t want to know after reading part of FrontPageMag.com’s expose of Teresa Heinz Kerry’s leftist charity and it’s dealings with Matthiessen. These kinds of creeps that hate America are the type of people that Rose loves to feature on his show. I really don’t get this guy. He seems like a really nice guy, but it just seem that the guy is lacking some sort of moral compass or something. He’s had on George Soros, Noam Chomsky, and I think Howard Zinn. These people are the absolute lowest forms of life. It really pisses me off that American taxpayers have to foot the bill for this garbage.

I’d love to ask McCain about this. You just know he’d give you some sort of mealy-mouthed answer. I think this is something that Conservatives should really start pushing for. Of course we’d probably never be able to get rid of PBS. But we really need to start pushing for some sort of balance on that channel. I mean, we’re paying for it too, right?

Well, you’ve gotta’ hand it to PBS’s Frontline. They are very consistent in offering up red meat for the rabid left. The actual show is called Frontline/World, a sort of spin-off that occasionally takes the place of the normal Frontline show on Tuesday nights. It’s a news magazine format that typically covers three stories and they often feature interesting stories from around the world. But the first story that aired tonight was about corruption among border agents. The reporter, Lowell Bergman, purports that the amount of money in the smuggling trade has greatly increased since the U.S. has started erecting a wall and increased our level of border agents. This seemed to me to be largely speculation, although, I’ll grant that it might very well be true. The report was very blatant in it’s assertion that the wall and other measures have only increased smuggling. This is an interesting theory, and I have no problem with Frontline/World reporting on border agent corruption or increased smuggling, but this story takes a typical left-wing slant. Wall bad, open borders good.

I did agree with one person in the story, who I believe was a Mexican, that alot of these people are desperate and this problem may be more difficult to fix than some might imagine. It doesn’t help though, that there are so many open border advocates, even in states such as Texas. Apparently the Senators from Texas managed to water down the border wall bill. This was the assertion from Duncan Hunter on the Glenn Beck show (see video). Frontline is capable of doing some really good work, but the slew of left-wing episodes they’ve done trying to tear down the administration is enough to get this conservative breathing fire. I expect one day soon we are going to fix PBS’s wagon.

I found an interesting article on the CBS News website with this title (sans the latter). Of course this has never been a question to me. In my considered opinion all of the Democratic leadership supports gay marriage. Remember the story of ‘King and King?’ This book being used to teach second grader about homosexuals ramming each other in the ass ( If you don’t like my language, go to hell). Well, I don’t know of a single Democrat presidential candidate who came out against this book. Obama, Clinton, and Edwards all supported the use of this book for teaching second graders. These people are simply lying through their teeth when they say they don’t support gay marriage.

Now we come to the issue of McCain. I heard McCain say he would support the court decision no matter what it was on the issue of gay marriage. I think this statement by McCain just goes to show how shallow the man is. This is not a man of core conservative principles. And his voting record in recent years how how liberal he has become. These courts should not be supported in their radical agenda of trying to remake the country. But McCain is showing more and more every day that he will do anything to win a vote. Ronald Reagan must be turning over in his grave. They should be opposed in every way by a government that is ‘Of the People, by the People, and for the People.’

I have been listening to the non-stop gushing over Sen. Ted Kennedy and I have to wonder what is wrong with these Republicans who are doing this. Look, I hold no ill will toward the Senator, at least as far as his health is concerned. Unlike the fascist Left who who are unbridled in their evil intent toward conservatives. But this man has been a one man disaster in the Senate and in the Democratic party. This all goes to the heart of the corruption in the Senate. When they talk about it being a club, it’s not an exaggeration. I want the Senator to get well, but unlike corrupt Republicans in the Senate, I don’t want to see him back there. Senator, it is time to retire. You are well past your prime. You and your ilk have done more damage to this country than any epic volume could recount. And if you don’t believe what I’m saying about the Senator’s prime, then watch this:

Newt Gingrich was just on Fox and Friends and he called McCain-Lieberman the “Chinese full employment act.” That was great to hear. That kind of talk will go a long way toward making amends for starring in that Algore funded garbage with Nancy Pelosi. This should make conservatives feel good. And McCain should wake up and take notice. We aren’t going to lay down for his liberal agenda and I think there are enough Democrats that won’t vote for this garbage that McCain is going to have his hands full if he’s actually able to claw his way into the White House.

I am really on fence on whether he can actually win this thing. I mean I just really don’t think McCain is a very smart guy. Every time I turn around the guy is saying something stupid. Remember when he went in front of that group of black people and talked about not supporting the Martin Luther King holiday? I mean, why? What was the point of that. Fine, go and speak. But why bring something up that is just going to piss people off. And then McCain just ends up looking like a total idiot with this dumb smile on his face while people are booing him. It’s really too bad we didn’t have better candidates this year, but it almost seems like there is a dearth of really standout people in the party now. McCain is a really rotten Republican presidential candidate, but the alternative is to awful to even contemplate.

The other night I had Fox News on late and a political ad came on for a this guy who is running against Tom Harkin. Well, you can imagine that got my attention real quick. I am so happy to see someone in the hunt against Harkin. His name is Steve Rathje (pronounced Rothje?, I forget). The website is SteveRathje.com and it hits all the right notes, at least for a conservative such as myself. I have already been in touch with the campaign. I sent them a link to a webpage where Harkin actually admits that, quote, “Frankly, I have a similar problem with Barack Obama”, Harkin went on. “Look, the guy is a liberal. I have no problem with that. How could I? I was the most liberal guy in the Senate until he took my crown.” With jewels like that laying around on the surface, you’ve just gotta’ know that there has to be better stuff out there on this guy. I would love to find a good copy of the video where Harkin talks about welcoming the day human cloning comes. You X-Files fans may remember this footage of Harkin being used in an episode. It is so emblematic of what an extremist this guy is.

Apparently he is not an extremist in every respect, otherwise I doubt he could keep getting elected, but this guy definitely has some major vulnerabilities. Here in Dubuque where I live, I doubt that he’s ever lost a vote, since this is a big Democrat stronghold. But this is also what I would call a pretty conservative town. We need to hit Harkin hard on the abortion issue here in Dubuque, and related to that is the issue of the Supreme Court. Harkin voted against John Roberts nomination to the court, a man who is absolutely impeccable in every regard. But none of that matters to Harkin. Harkin probably couldn’t cast his vote fast enough in favor of another left-winger in the Ginsberg mold.

So, I’m keeping my fingers crossed and I’m gearing up for the battle. Any other troopers out there ready to join me in the battle? if there’s one thing we do know about Democrats, they hate war, no matter what the objective. But, ironically, the Dems are the ones who started this war by their unbridled lust to return to power. If we Conservatives ready ourselves for the battle the way Conservatives should, there is no way they can win. And this fight against Harkin is one I don’t intend to lose.
