A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention.
Hugh Hewitt writes What Democrats Really Believe “Kathryn Jean Lopez points to this amazing roll-call vote on the military tribunals for terrorists bill: Only 34 Democrats in the House voted to bring these killers to justice in this fashion. 160 Democrats voted against the bill. K-Lo notes that Democrats Sherrod Brown and Harold Ford were among the 34 --and that they are running for Senate, and have the eyes of the voters upon them.
But let's be clear: No serious observor of politcs believes that Brown and Ford would do other than revert to form if elected to the Senate. They have records of Pelosi-like fealty to the hard left policies of their party, and election year manuevers can't obscure that reality.” (READ MORE)
Cassandra writes Deconstructing the NIE “Regarding the lamestream media's latest orgiastic fetish, the recently leaked Dance of the Veils also known as the NIE, Robert Kagan notes the unwisdom of relying on partial leaks of reports we can't see, from anonymous sources who refuse to be identified (but whose credibility and motives we must not question, though they've violated the terms of their employment - and the law - by disclosing classified information to people who have no business knowing it):” (READ MORE)
Charlie Munn of OPFOR writes I Have Returned... Now Relax! “…Now that I’ve got the awkward introduction over with, I want everyone to take a deep breath and relax –the country’s doing fine. What do I mean? My troops and I sit in the chow hall in the morning after PT, and in the evening after a long day of training, and we watch the news. Every day we are deluged with reports of war and violence spreading across the globe, political fractures threaten to split apart our society at home, and the threat of terrorism looms so close we can’t take a bottle of water on a plane! With all of this uncertainty and violence encroaching upon us –how can I remain optimistic, and have a belief that the future will turn out alright? Simple, every day I see the best of the country around me –the American riflemen.” (READ MORE)
Huntress writes Open Letter to Lt.Col. Barry Johnson. “Lt.Col Johnson: I happened to be listening to Pat Campbell's show when I heard him ask you if you knew Michael Yon. You may think it was my imagination - but I'm sure I heard you gasp as you were not only blindsided by the question but clearly uncomfortable at the mere mention of Michael Yon's name. A five second gap of silence on radio does not go unnoticed; the emnity you were harboring was palpable. I'm sure a few people were touched by your deep concern for Michael's well-being, but surely you better than most people understand that you cannot spin to a PR savvy audience - especially to someone who has worked in Hollywood as long as I have- so don't insult me or Michael's huge savvy and very influential global audience by trying to do so.” (READ MORE)
jonjayray of Stop the ACLU writes A Defence of Muslims from a Leftist Elitist “I very rarely bother to fisk Leftist articles. It is much more interesting to spend my time looking at articles that endeavour to consider all the facts of a matter rather than looking at the very selective attention to the facts that characterizes Leftist writing. A reader has however drawn my attention to a typical bit of Leftist hate by Australian columnist Amanda Blair and offered some comments on it. I reproduce both the column and the comments on it elsewhere. I thought however that I might make a few comments in passing on the column myself:” (READ MORE)
Slublog of Ace of Spades HQ writes Deceit and the Left “DR, our resident "conservative Republican" recently made a confession on Citizen Smash's blog: ‘I think you are just trying to provoke needless confrontation at our vigils. We at Code Pink will not tire from our mission of bringing the troops home, no matter how much deceitful propaganda is written about us. If you can prove we do not support the troops, we will more than gladly stop holding our vigils. Until then, please drop the divisive charade and try to accept that one can oppose the war while supporting the troops.’ This "conservative Republican" has been active on the threads lately, calling his "fellow" conservatives "Bushbots" and the like, while mouthing suspiciously liberal-flavored phrases. Now we find out he's a member of one of the most vile anti-war organizations in the United States. And in that Smash thread, unlike here, he doesn't claim to be a conservative Republican. He does have this to say, though:” (READ MORE)
