Gal's Common Sense

More than 3 people have fallen for and labeled gullible my more than 20 fake UFO crafts that I have designed and flown around the greater metropolitian area.

Well the is what Rosie has just stated:

O’DONNELL: I haven't -- I just want to say something. 655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists?

HASSELBECK: Who are the terrorists?

O’DONNELL: 655,000 Iraqis -- I'm saying you have to look, we invaded --

HASSELBECK: Wait, who are you calling terrorists now? Americans?

O’DONNELL: I'm saying if you were in Iraq, and the other country, the United States, the richest in the world, invaded your country and killed 655,000 of your citizens, what would you call us?

HASSELBECK: Are we killing their citizens or are their people also killing their citizens?

O’DONNELL: We're invading a sovereign nation, occupying a country against the U.N.

..........

HASSELBECK: Do you not believe in terrorism?

O’DONNELL: I believe, Elisabeth, that 6,000 dead Americans from 9/11 and from this war is a lot less than 655,000 dead Iraqis.

HASSELBECK: But do you believe in terrorism?

O’DONNELL: I believe every human life is equal.

HASSELBECK: Do you believe there in terrorism?

O’DONNELL: I believe in state sponsored terrorism. I believe there is government sponsored terrorism by every nation in the world, including ours.

It makes me ill to think that she lives and speaks freely in America, the country she obviously hates.

A backpack exploded in a parking garage attached to a Las Vegas hotel early Monday, killing a man who had picked it up and injuring another person, authorities said.

.

Sad thing is that more and more of this will become a common occurance that we will become numb to.

Anyone else notice how on this side of the fence that if there is anything that supports the President of the United States, the leader of our country, the elected man to lead us, that these stories will not make the front page here.

.

Anyone else notice that if someone posts something Anit-Bush, something that tears down the man that was elected to lead our country, the President of the United States that they will put that on the front page so fast that it will make your head spin?

.

Hey Webteam, take a look at yourselves and quit being so biased.  I thought the news station and its employees were suppose to be neutral.

Please people...if you are going to report on high water DON"T SHOW STREETS WHERE YOU CAN STILL SEE THE CURBS.  That is not high water.  All morning they show roads where you can still see the 6-inch curb and calling it high water not to drive through. 

.

Thanks for adding to the stupidity.

Has the Washington Post actually started to report the truth?

(Psst. all the red words are clickys)

.

After recent editorials condemning House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-California) trip to Syria, a good job covering the conviction of Harold Ford, Jr.’s (D-Tennessee) uncle, and a David Broder column harshly critical of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada), the Post published a front-page story Saturday declaring the Democrats’ domestic agenda is languishing.

.

An ABC News-Washington Post poll last month found that 73 percent of Americans believe Congress has done "not too much" or "nothing at all." A memo from the Democratic polling firm Democracy Corps warned last month that the stalemate between Congress and Bush over the war spending bill has knocked down the favorable ratings of Congress and the Democrats by three percentage points and has taken a greater toll on the public's hope for a productive Congress.

...about the flood of '93?

.

We have received a lot of rain and this makes people think, now the scenerios are different, but what do you remember?

.

• I remember making sandbags at Indian Spring Mall. 

• I remember looking at 435 N. as it crosses the Misery River on the KS side and just seeing the road top stretch into the distance.  Yep, they closed it.

• I remember sandbagging the levees and walking on them felt like a sponge.

• I rememberr the firefighters taking up levee duty with a life jacket and radio watching for them to break.

• I remember Riverside under water.

• I rmeember so much more.....

 

 

Don Imus is suing CBS Radio for more than $40 million. He is suing for vindication, according to a media expert, who said “(Imus) wants his name cleared.”

The former talk show host hired one of the country’s top First Amendment trial lawyers to sue CBS for firing him over racial and sexual on-air comments. But Imus points out his contract calls for “irreverent” and “controversial,” and his “nappy-headed BLEEP” remark was certainly that.

Hmmm. That was in the contract? It appears CBS somehow forgot

I AM THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I am the flag of the United States of America
My name is Old Glory.
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over institutions of learning.
I stand guard with power in the world.
Look up and see me.
I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.

I stand for freedom.
I am confident.
I am arrogant.
I am proud.
When I am flown with my fellow banners,
my head is a little higher,
my colors a little truer.
I bow to no one!
I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshipped - I am saluted.
I am loved - I am revered.
I am respected - and I am feared.

I have fought in every battle of every war
for more then 200 years.
I was flown at Valley Forge, and Appomattox.
I was there at San Juan Hill, the trenches of
France, in the Argonne Forest,
Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy, Guam,
Okinawa, Korea and Khe San,
Saigon, Vietnam know me, I was there.
I led my troops, I was dirty, battle worn and tired,
but my soldiers cheered me
And I was proud.

I have been burned, torn and trampled on the streets
of countries I have helped set free.
It does not hurt, for I am invincible.
I have been soiled upon, burned, torn and trampled
on the streets of my country.
And when it's by those whom I've served in battle
it hurts.
But I shall overcome - for I am strong.

I have slipped the bonds of Earth and stood watch
over the uncharted
frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon.
I have borne silent witness to all of America's finest hours.
But my finest hours are yet to come.
When I am torn into strips and used as bandages for
my wounded comrades on the battlefield,
When I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier,
Or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at
the grave of their fallen son or daughter, I am proud.

The sculptor's name is Kalat. He was forced to fashion statues of Saddam Hussein including some that were later destroyed by U.S. military explosives.  The bronze pieces of the statues were sent to Kalat and he made the memorial using a picture of a U.S. soldier, 1st Sgt. Glen Simpson, kneeling as a model. 

.

Kalat worked with another artist on the Saddam Hussein statutes, but designed and fashioned the U.S. model on his own. 

.

It's on display in Iraq and is destined to eventually be on display at Fort Hood, where it will become part of a larger memorial project at the 4th Inf. Div. museum.

.

Great to see the appreciation from the Iraqi's themselves.

The co-host mysteriously claimed Afghanistan had nothing to do with September 11 and downplayed the Al Qaeda threat, claiming it is simply a U.S. government scare tactic. Additionally, Rosie, with the aide of guest co-host Ricki Lake, followed Charles Rangel and Andy Rooney to assert that U.S. soldiers are not patriots, but losers who join out of desperation.

From the View:

O’DONNELL: Wait, can I just say something? Why do people enlist in the Army?

RICKI LAKE: To get an education, and they're poor-

O’DONNELL: Thank you.

LAKE: -and that’s the only way to get one.

O’DONNELL: The vast majority– Yes, Elisabeth. It’s true!

.

Now the real info:

According to a recent study by the Heritage Foundation, military enlistees are "better educated, wealthier, and more rural on average than their civilian peers." Additionally, "recruits have a higher percentage of high school graduates" and "the distribution of household income of recruits is noticably higher than the entire youth population." Of course, facts don’t matter to Rosie O’Donnell.

.

Token non-liberal Elisabeth Hasselbeck responded harshly and Rosie continued to smear volunteer soldiers before she claimed that she does support the troops.

HASSELBECK: First of all, in the past year, the testing scores of our armed services have been higher than ever, so the education level-

O’DONNELL: You are wrong. We have more convicted felons in the Army because we’re allowing them to get through.

HASSELBECK: So they're awful. They’re awful then.

O’DONNELL: Elisabeth, I do everything I can to support the troops financially and emotionally. I love them as much as you do. I'm as much of a patriot. I want them home..

Ok, one paragraph of why we invaded Iraq and then the rest as to why we are still there.

.

Facts are the 9/11 led to the US invasion of Iraq,  Did they have WMD?  We have not found any but then we do now know for sure.  We have definitely found a lot of military equipemtn buried in the sands though...who knows what else is burried there.  Saddam Hussein and his government in Iraq supported terrorism abroad and had intentions of producing weapons of mass destruction for its own use or to sell to terrorists on the black market. As stated by Paul Wolfowitz in a published interview, “Saddam Hussein is the only international figure other than Osama Bin Laden to publicly praise the attacks of September 11 th.” After publicly supporting terrorism against the United States, the US government could not sit back and allow Saddam Hussein to violate U.N. weapons sanctions and potentially create chemical or biological weapons.  Saddam, if he could have found a way, would have smuggled or helped to smuggle weapons into the United States had we not done anything.

.

This war just like every other war is a sad affair, but this war has been necessary and turning over a country where the government is in control of itself is very important.  We live in an age where we all want instant gratification and things take time, but as Americans we do not want to wait.    If the U.S. withdraws from Iraq, it would eliminate the one source of authority that prevents the country from imploding. 

.

Our actions in both Iraq and Afghanistan have helped to keep the US more secure than it was.  When we attacked afghanistan after 9/11 we took the terrorists breath away.  They were not expecting the response they received because they were use to Bill Clinton's lack of action.  Being in Iraq has given terrorist insurgents a focus instead of letting them run loose around the world and able ot focus on us here in America.  I for one would rather put the life of a soldier who has volunteered to serve in harms way instead of pulling more citizens from planes and buildings here in the US.

.

We could bring home our troops now, but all we would do is allow Iraq fall into an all out Civil War and allow Iran to have the free reign they want to have in the region.  Progress has been made as of late.  Most of the fighting and attacks have moved out of Bagdad central and moved to the outer provinces particularly to the north of the city.  There will not be a day in Iraq where they will not be an attack on Iraqis or Americans, however there will be a day when the Iraqi government will be in control and we can pull much of our forces out.

.

I guarantee that President Bush will start bringing home troops near the end of this year that way he can take the wind out of the democrats sail as they head towards the elections, but he must do this on his own without a timeline and this is another reason why there will be no bill signed that has a timeline.
