It feels good when I hear outrageous things in the news media and others have the same reaction. The latest involves the Kool Aid drinking left-wing Democrats who were yelling and screaming this past week that Fox News Channel would be sponsoring a debate in Reno, Nevada in August amongst the candidates. "Sacre bleu," screamed the whacked out left-wingnuts. Well, the Las Vegas Journal Review has spoken out on the idiocy of the Democrats...which turns out to be the very reason why I will NEVER be a registered Democrat, although many of my views are extremely liberal. It is funny how conservative Republicans don't scream and yell and piss in their pants over the left-leaning MSNBC (very low rated third cable news network).

The newspaper couldn't say it anymore aptly when they say, "What better way for the party to reach conservative and "values" voters who might consider changing allegiances?"

And when you get right down to it, the Dems just don't have an awe-inspiring bunch of candidates. Hillary, Obama, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, and Bill Richardson just don't cut it. They love to posture and criticize and VERY criticizable Pres. Bush and they are promising everything under the sun, yet I have yet to hear any plausible campaign rhetoric that would make me want to vote for any of them.

Honestly, party labels don't interest me one iota and from what I'm seeing are not interesting the American public at large. Just as I predicted after the November elections, you either have the Republicrats or the Demipublicans. Same people who have exchanged the same ties. Despite promising a major shift, the Democratic controlled U.S. Congress and U.S. Senate (albeit with very slim margins) have not put President Bush in what they hoped to gridlock him. The truth is, even with chief yappers Nancy Pelosi and her old worn out attack dog (in his mind), John Murtha (and on occasion the Democrats Bitch-In-Chief, Sen. Barbara Boxer), they have gridlocked themselves. Gridlocked bad.

At this point, I'm putting my own money on Rudy Guiliani.

EDITORIAL: Meltdown over Fox

Network co-sponsors state Democratic debate -- oh my!

Hard-core liberals can't stand the Fox News Channel. Passing a television that's tuned to the conservative favorite forces many of them to close their eyes, cover their ears and scream, "La la la la la la la la la!" Then they dash to their computers and fire off 2,500 e-mails condemning the outlet, none of which are ever read.

But liberals' aversion to Fox News has finally gone over the top. The Nevada Democratic Party had agreed to let the right-tilting network co-sponsor, of all things, an August debate in Reno between Democratic presidential candidates. Party officials were serious about drawing national attention to the state's January presidential caucus, the country's second in the 2008 nominating process.

What better way for the party to reach conservative and "values" voters who might consider changing allegiances? But the socialist, Web-addicted wing of the Democratic Party was apoplectic. The prospect of having to watch Fox News to see their own candidates would have been torture in itself. So they set the blogosphere aflame with efforts to kill the broadcast arrangement, or at least have all the candidates pull out of the event. Before Friday, the opportunistic John Edwards was the only candidate to jump on that bandwagon.

You'd think the deal called for having Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter mock the candidates between comments. No, even unfiltered, unedited, live debate between loyal Democrats couldn't be entrusted to Fox News.

The approach of outfits such as MoveOn.org is so juvenile it's laughable. Imagine if every political organization created litmus tests for news organizations before agreeing to appear on their programming. Republicans would have boycotted PBS, CBS, NBC, ABC, National Public Radio and The Associated Press decades ago.

This hyperventilation results from the fact that far-left Democrats have no comparable media outlet, nor any widespread national appeal, for their radical views in favor of heavy-handed regulation, wealth redistribution, diplomatic capitulation and economic protectionism. So they attack their rivals' messenger with a reckless barrage of rhetoric that cuts down their own allies with friendly fire.

By Friday, the Nevada Democratic Party caved in to the lunatic fringe and began seeking a more "appropriate" television partner.

Comedy Central, perhaps?

It is very comforting to read when politicians speak honestly about things. My favorite thing is that everytime there is some kind of public rally or rock concert "for the environment" that it usually results in tons and tons of garage thrown away on the grounds nearby. It is not much different a new study which released today that only 1 in 3 people who considered themselves to be "highly religious" could recite the 10 commandments!

Czech Pres: Environmentalism is a religion
WASHINGTON, March 9 (UPI) -- Environmentalism is a religion that is based more on political ambitions than science, the president of the Czech Republic warned Friday. Speaking at the Cato Institute, a public policy think-tank, President Vaclav Klaus said that environmentalists who clamor for policy change to combat global warming "only pretend" to be promoting environmental protection, and are actually being driven by a political agenda.

"Environmentalism should belong in the social sciences," much like the idea of communism or other "-isms" such as , Klaus said, adding that "environmentalism is a religion" that seeks to reorganize the world order as well as social behavior and value systems worldwide. As for government spending on global warming studies, the former finance minister and of the Eastern European nation and trained economist said that such efforts were a "waste of money," adding that there was already sufficient scientific evidence for those seeking policy change to back up their proposals.

Meanwhile, he pointed out that those seeking to protect the environment could do a great deal under the existing political framework and with existing technologies, such as importing less goods from far-flung regions that require enormous jet fuel use.

Klaus concluded Friday his week-long tour of the United States, having met with a number of senior Bush administration officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney.

Today an acquaintance set me straight why I can't stand the so-called "Born Again Christians."

He said, "Born Again Christians are the worst KIND of Christians, because their outward attitude is one of, "I know the truth and I am going to heaven. They lie, cheat, and steal, yet they will look in your eyes with a glazed looked and say, 'Jesus Loves You, he really does.'"

Yeah, in their hypocritical world they hate gays, Jews, anyone who doesn't agree with their point of view. In fact, I know of someone who (thank God!) that despite espousing "high Christian values" molested his step-daughter (the victim related this to me several times in her hate for this person and I believe her), yet, they are so in love with their "goodness" and themselves that even Narcissus would hold his head in horror.

I have no problem and respect a lot of good Christians who don't go around being intolerant and bigoted....what I call the "quiet" Christians who emphasize doing goodworks very peacefully. But the others...like the much exulted right-wing pastor Rev. Ted Haggard who was "cured" of his homosexuality and demonstrated such (how did he do it?) after three weeks.

I've said it many times, "Jesus, Protect Me From Your Followers."
