Tonight on O’Reilly, Sens. Lindsey Graham & Joe Lieberman discussed their amendment to the current war-funding bill, that would prohibit the release of the thousands of photos of alleged detainee abuse at detention facilities overseas. O’Reilly calls Pelosi and Barney Frank out for their willingness to put our soldiers’ lives on the line to appease their liberal, bed-wetting, peace-at-any-price constituents in their respective districts.
The release of these photos will be a win/lose situation. A win for the Islamofascists and a lose for western nations that have taken up the mantle to battle them. I hope the Graham/Lieberman amendment stays in the bill. Please call your elected representatives and tell them you will accept nothing less. The lives of American troops are at stake.
Today on Meet the Press, Gingrich and Durbin debated about the Gitmo conundrum and what to do about the terrorist detainees. Here’s a portion of the transcript:
FMR. REP. NEWT GINGRCH, (R-GA): Well, let, let me start with, first of all, it was Secretary of State Colin Powell who also talked about weapons of mass destruction, so this is not a Cheney problem. The fact is every member of the American government senior leadership believed in the intelligence they were getting at the time. And the question comes right down to, as Vice President Cheney said this week, what’s your highest priority? Is it to defend America and protect American lives, or is it to find some way to defend terrorists and to get terrorists involved in the criminal justice system? I can’t imagine–given the fact, for example, that we just picked up four terrorists in New York who had been converted in prison, I can’t imagine–the director of the FBI has said don’t put these terrorists in prisons because there’ll be an active threat to convert other people. The fact is these, these terrorists–we’re now down to the worst of the worst. These are the–the Bush administration released over 500 people. One out of every seven actually went back to war against us and is out actively trying to kill Americans today. So I would be very cautious. I think the president made a very big mistake. It was a campaign promise, it is not a national security plan. I think, frankly, they should keep Guantanamo open. Whatever the, whatever things that are wrong at Guantanamo they would fix by moving them to somewhere else, fix them at Guantanamo.
MR. GREGORY: How long should Gitmo remain open?
REP. GINGRICH: Until the war is over.
MR. GREGORY: When is that?
REP. GINGRICH: We’ll–when the terrorists disappear. I mean, you’re faced with…
MR. GREGORY: Well, you’re talking about a pretty long-term proposition here.
REP. GINGRICH: Yes, because this is a long-term proposition. You have people out there today who want to kill Americans, who would like to set off a nuclear weapon in an American city, who would like to set off a truck bomb down the street from where we are right now. These folks are serious. They’re, they’re still there. They’re fighting in Pakistan right now, they’re fighting in Iraq right now. We just arrested four people in New York City last week. What do you do with somebody who’s a dedicated, religiously-motivated terrorist? You had better keep them locked up.
MR. GREGORY: But, Senator, what about this issue of conversion in prison? What about the FBI director saying that there are concerns if you bring some of these figures into U.S. prisons?
SEN. DURBIN: Just remember that President Bush called for the closing of Guantanamo; President Obama did the same, as did Senator McCain in the last campaign. And I also want to remind the former speaker that Major Matthew Alexander, who has actually interrogated al-Qaeda suspects in Iraq, attributes half of the deaths of Americans in Iraq to the detention abuses at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. Continuing Guantanamo, unfortunately, makes our troops less safe. The bottom line as I see it is Guantanamo should close in an orderly way. President Obama announced that last Thursday. We understand that at the end of the day there will be some of these people, I don’t know the exact number, who will be too dangerous to be released, and President Obama said he would work with Congress and the courts to detain them in a humane, constitutional and legal way.
I would invite Sen. Durbin to participate in the LARK program and “sponsor” a few of the Gitmo detainees, letting them stay at his home. He’s all for sending them to the SuperMax Prison, but that prison is not in Illinois. I think that should be a call for Colorado citizens to make, and last I checked, the majority are none to pleased with that proposition. When it comes down to it for meat-and-bones issues, the NIMBY in liberals comes out quite loudly.
I also have another bone to pick with Dick Durbin; he says the Republicans are playing the “fear” card. What the hell does he think Obama has been playing on the country regarding our economy? It’s all been doom and gloom, and while we’re in financial straits, to constantly harp on economic fear, inferring only the federal government can save us in that respect is a sham. Hypocrisy indeed.
An extremely laughable statement by Durbin was made at the end of these segments; that Barack Obama knows the U.S. Constitution better than anybody else in this country. WTF? Is he serious? Even IF he does know the Constitution better than anybody else, then he certainly understands what it takes to tear apart that exact Constitution he allegedly knows so much about. And he’s doing it quite deftly. This destruction of the Constitution is the single-most motivating factor for Conservatives to stand together and get their mojo back.
Well, well, well…. a very dear friend has been plucked for a spot on Brit Hume’s Grapevine segment for today. I was going to excise it to show it on its own, but the Grapevine today was all fantastic all the way to the final segment – just makes my friend in that much better company.
Jay, this one is for you, my friend! CONGRATS! Watch the Grapevine here.
Reknowned racist Prof. Kambon was shown on Hannity & Colmes tonight, talking about the necessity to exterminate all white people. For the sake of sanity, the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson was on as a guest, and was the only one to respond, as, of course, Prof. Camden refused to come on the show to respond.
Isn’t it amazing that people like this still exist, and worse, are still allowed to be professors in our institutions of higher learning? No wonder we’re churning out a batch of peace-at-any-price idiots who believe nothing is worth fighting for – except the summary execution of all whites and capitalists.

Jay, I just received wonderful news that Sen. Sam Brownback is urging his colleagues to allow a vote on the Public Expression of Religion Act (PERA)–a measure that sailed through the House 244-173.
Passage of PERA would eliminate the awarding of attorney’s fees to groups challenging the constitutionality of displays on public property. Groups like the ACLU have made millions of dollars using the threat of monetary awards to intimidate officials into removing Ten Commandment monuments, Nativity scenes, crosses, or the words “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance.
++ Emergency Petition Presentation Announced!
Jay, Sen. Brownback and others believe there is still time to pass PERA before Congress adjourns. That is why I am announcing an emergency petition presentation to Sen. Brownback’s office during the first week of December!
I would like to present the Senator with a minimum of 150,000 petitions supporting PERA, but I need your help!
Over the next two weeks I am asking members of our Liberty Counsel team to do two very important things:
++ Action Item #1–Alert Your Friends
To reach our 150,000 goal, I am counting on your help in getting our message to your friends and family. Please forward this message to 25-30 friends urging them to be a part of this presentation by adding their name to our petition:

++Action Item #2–Contact your Senators
While Sen. Brownback is appealing to his colleagues to allow a vote on PERA, you can do the same thing by calling your Senators and urging them to support a vote on PERA.
To contact your Senators, call the Capitol Switchboard:
202-224-3121.
Jay, passage of PERA represents an important step in defeating the ACLU. That is why it is so important that you rally your friends to be part of our upcoming petition presentation, and call your Senators!
Thanks so much for standing with Liberty Counsel!

Jay sez: This bill is a very important and much needed peice of legislation. While it has an uphill battle to pass this Congress, if it is left to the upcoming Congress it is sure to die out. Take action now and contact your Senators to support PERA.
I say: Please contact your elected leaders… do what you have to to support this act.
Say helllo to my little freend…. Pelosi San Francisco Values! WTF if wrong in San Francisco? Oh, wait, never mind…I knew that all along. I’m so pissed after seeing this, I’m not sure I can write family-friendly comments on this post.
GYYYAAAHHHHH!!!!! This is what’s wrong with this country! STOP THE ACLU BEFORE THEY KILL US ALL!

I don’t agree with Stewart’s political views, but when he’s funny, he’s really funny. Check out this latest video of his recent discovery of Chatroulette.

This includes the development of National Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan, which will facilitate a coordinated response to cyberthreats from the federal government, local city [...]
I guess the Dem’s honeymoon is truly over. Jon Stewart is officially going after the dems. In this episode, he takes on Nancy Pelosi, David Paterson, Charlie Rangel.
Finally…Stewart’s finding his bi-partisan sweet spot.
