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 this is an old blog post, but I found it randomly through Google so here’s a response in defense of Ron Paul’s position.
According to this article from Fox News - http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,85446,00.html
“…the presence of American forces here has long been an irritant for Saudi rulers facing strong anti-American sentiment among a growing and increasingly restive population. Fifteen of the 19 alleged Sept. 11 hijackers were Saudis, and Saudi-born Osama bin Laden cites the U.S. military presence in his homeland as a reason for his hatred of America.”
Even if our troops were there at the invitation of the Saudi government, it well-known that their government does not represent the will of the people. Apparently Bin Laden perceived our presence there as an occupation.
Also, Ron Paul votes against every appropriations bill. However, because his district is paying loads of taxes, just like every other district, it is Ron Paul’s duty to represent his constituents and try to get some of that money back in the form of earmarks. If Ron Paul did not submit the earmarks, that money, which has already been appropriated, would be taken by an earmark for another district or just spent without oversight by the Executive branch.
