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.
