The media landscape is just a twisted mess. CNN has seen their ratings take a pummeling for swinging way too far to the Left. While FoxNews offered an outlet for some Right leaning voices and has run with it all the way to the bank.

Now CNN is trying to get more Conservatives in their fold, along with some new Liberals too. Is CNN now trying to have more balance? La Shawn Barber has been invited to do election night coverage with CNN. (Good for her.) If her being invited is not a sign of somebody in CNN realizing the gross error of their ways and trying to bring about some level of correction, I don’t know what is. I guess we just have to pray more uncompromising Christian voices continue to be given an opportunity to speak there. Because they’ve still got a VERY LONG way to go.

FoxNews has long been dreaded by Liberals. Simply because the network is not as horrible as CNN. Not that FoxNews is truly a Conservative news outlet, they just sometimes offer the truth. True Conservative news outlets are sources like Newsmax, World Net Daily and Michael Savage who has said many times that FoxNews is not a Conservative network. Savage has been having some “I told you so” moments, now that News Corporation founder Rupert Murdoch is getting cozy with the Clintons. Now News Corp. paper the NY Post has endorsed Hillary Clinton for THE CURRENT ELECTION AND THE ONE FOLLOWING THAT! One letter to the paper from a reader says:

The Post was the only New York paper I could turn to without a liberal left-wing slant; then I woke up and discovered your endorsement.

Clinton is a leftist tax-’em-to-death liar who is against monitoring terrorist communication, the Patriot Act, tax cuts and school choice.
Chuck Knoll
Huntington

I wonder if Chuck knows about the Murdoch/Clinton connection? Murdoch wants to get in good with Hillary in case Liberals gain more power. So they don’t mess with his media empire. He will dance with whatever he sees has power or might obtain it. Proving he’s just a businessman. Not a Conservative.

So now, that which was deemed Liberal is trying to get more Conservative and that which was deemed Conservative by some is Liberal.

What a mess! But this makes fertile ground for another new outlet to emerge. Because news companies might change their stripes, but the people are not going to give up their values.

Tom Tancredo does not need to run now as a symbolic gesture. We Conservatives now have a candidate to back in the next Presidential election. I don’t think we’re going to get better and honestly I don’t know anyone who would be better. Read the details over at Theodore’s World.

Remember Congressman Duncan Hunter’s Bill to Protect America’s Critical Infrastructure? We have to support this man so that efforts like that are no longer tabled by the people in DC who are not working to secure the United States.

If you’re a Conservative it’s in your best interests to support Duncan Hunter. Don’t compromise your values. Hunter is a good man and well suited for the job.

Another timely GTB Blogburst!

By Heidi at Euphoric Reality

I was having a helluva time writing an article for this week’s GTB Blogburst. Over the weekend, I started three articles and each one fizzled out for lack of inspiration. For instance, I started one on President Bush’s new fence bill - the one that has no funding - and it was hard for me to work up any outrage, since I wasn’t surprised at such an empty gesture. In fact, I was expecting nothing less from this President, and that’s a sorry indictment of how faithless he’s become. The President’s abrogation of this issue has boiled my blood for years, and is one of the main reasons why I am no longer a Republican, but now a furious and rebellious Independent. As I mulled over what to say about Bush’s latest nothingness, I realized that anything I had say about his treason on this issue, I’ve already said before - and then some.

So I started another article about the effect of the immigration issue on elections; or rather, the effect it should have, but isn’t. Because here we are at election time again, having to hold our noses to go elect more of the same do-nothing politicians. Yeah, the same types who have successfully ignored the will of the people for so many years. Out of a nation of 300 million people, you’d think we could field a few really top notch candidates for leadership at any level. But noooo…

The point is that I remain uninspired and severely jaded. Call it writer’s block, or call it a crisis of faith, but… I. GOT. NUTHIN’.

So, in a late hour attempt to find some really good material to offer our faithful Blogburst readers, I sent out a request to our affiliates for their favorite links this week, which I could compile for everyone’s convenience. Thus, this week’s Blogburst is a little bit of a Trick or Treat - some chilling, and some funny. Which is apropos, considering that our nation’s immigration policy is a monstrous nightmare for mainstream Americans.

The Nightmare on Main Street Edition of the GTB Blogburst

So Bush signed a law to create a border fence. Here is an image of the fence as designed by a joint committee of Mexicans and Liberals, and approved by Bush…

“Report an illegal to the Feds and watch the Feds sit on their hands!”

Minuteman 2.0.: The Minuteman project was a publicity stunt; we now need to take it to the next level and have citizen patrols guarding the border.

“Needed: Border Billboards”: As soon as sniper posts are erected along our borders, we’ll need some billboards erected that read something like this…

The Carpentersville Saga: Carpentersville Illinois is pursuing a Hazelton style ordinance, but as these two videos show, not if the pro crime Hispanics and their supporters have anything to say about it!

“The US Border Patrol and Border Police are Out Gunned, Out Manned and Facing an Enemy with Technological Superiority Over Them!”: You knew illegals were coming into the USA daily, but did you know that down in Mexico they are literally being brought up to the border by the train load? The report has the pictures to prove it!

Trains from Central America and Mexico en route
to the U.S. border

Wild Thing sent some more jarring photos of our uninvited and unwelcome and undocumented “guests”- and no, these are not crazy Halloween costumes:

If you think illegal immigration is nothing more than “good hard-working people, with good intentions” sneaking in here for a little harmless Trick-or-Treat, then these posts from some of the strongest contributors to Guard the Borders will convince you of the ghoulish truth.

Many thanks to Third World County, Mr. Ogre, Freedom Folks, PC Free Zone, and the Independent Conservative.

This has been a production of the Guard the Borders Blogburst.

Liberalism and killing in the name of population control go hand in hand. The truth is out. PETA kills animals. I guess since they can’t convince animals to kill their own babies in the womb (abortion), they wait and kill animals that they claim to adore later.

Personally I believe animals are here for man’s use and although I don’t feel man should intentionally abuse animals, we can thin the animal ranks at will for the comfort of humans. PETA is against medical research on animals, although the results of that research could produce a cure that brings comfort for some humans. But Liberalism dictates that killing babies in the name of medical research, ie embryonic stem cell research is A-OK.

It really does not matter that I don’t mind using guinea pigs as well…guinea pigs. Because I see animals on a level lower than humans and have no problem eating meat of all types multiple times a day. Just writing this post makes me think of my favorite spot for steaks. (Not a paid endorsement, I honestly like their steaks best.) But PETA claims to defend animals and does not want people to eat them. So it’s pretty hypocritical for them to kill animals. They should make sanctuaries for masses of animals to roam free if they want to be consistent. But of course if they were consistent they’d have to be against murdering babies in the womb, but in Liberal land hypocrisy is par for the course.

A big hat tip to new blogger Independent Patriot.

It is interesting, that now since Australia’s top Muslim cleric has said something that would offend moderate Muslims that don’t want women to have to wear head coverings. He is now “suspended” and they call for his removal from his post. A text report with a video link is available here. It is interesting that an inter-Islamic dispute over head covering and the cleric saying uncovered heads of women are like “uncovered meat” resulted in such a strong backlash from moderate Muslims. This man has been a known threat for 20 years and an endorser of what is called “pure Islam”, which you might call radical Islam. I just call it orthodox, because they claim purity of their view and I honestly believe them when they say they follow “pure Islam”. They’ve got way more documented evidence of their view over moderate Muslims that claim otherwise.

Notice there was no suspension and no massive calls for his removal by Muslims when he claimed the 9/11 attacks were the work of his god. Also all mouths were shut when he claimed the Aborigines descended from Afghan Muslims and Australia was Muslim land.

That’s right, that supposed mass of moderate Muslims which people ask to see step up against the Muslim orthodoxy, only comes out in strength when they themselves are offended or targeted by those who claim “pure Islam”, the orthodox Islamists.

Like I told you before folks, I’m not holding my breath for moderate Muslims to hold the line and stop the orthodox Islamists. I don’t feel the moderates have a true majority, based on the facts and I don’t feel they care to strongly denounce their Muslims “brothers” when moderate Muslims are not the target.

Just as people who claim to be pro-Black are usually slow to attack a Black that makes racist statements. Just as Liberals are slow to denounce a Liberal that says something insane. Just as some Conservatives measure their criticism of a Conservative that does something wrong. Just as some Christians don’t want to say much about Christians that twist the faith to claim Christians should be rich. It is the same with Muslims. Only with Islam the issue is one of murder, intimidation and domination.

Those in Islam that claim to be moderate would do well to consider a change of faith. To live under real peace. So they are no longer dealing with an orthodoxy that wishes to kill gays and beat women.

If a woman claims:

• To have been raped on 3/13/2006.
• Then says on 3/14/2006, that she has pain at a level of 10 out of 10. Although she claims she was not hit during the alleged rape. Nurses and doctors don’t observe any “obvious discomfort”, that you would normally see when someone is in acute pain.
• Then on 3/15/2006 at a different hospital she says she was hit and has 7 out of 10 neck pain.
• Then on 3/16/2006, she is interviewed by police who report that she appears to be in “excruciating pain”.
• Then on the night of 3/25/2006 into 3/26/2006, she is found pole dancing at a strip club, where the former head bouncer said:
  

  She was regular. She danced like she always danced…

  Her appearance was video taped and obviously the former head bouncer confirmed it was her.

• Then on 3/28/2006, she returns to the hospital she visited on 3/15, to complain about “pain in her neck, back and knees”. The doctor documented that she was not in any “obvious distress”.
• She went to the same hospital again on 4/3/2006, saying she had neck pain on a level of 10 out of 10. But the doctor wrote that she appeared to be well, with no signs of distress.
• On 4/11/2006, she met with the district attorney, who says she was still traumatized, hardly spoke and had trouble making eye contact.

Would you say that woman was being honest? I don’t. And that’s exactly the conflicted mess of a story that has come to light regarding the stripper/escort accuser in the Duke lacrosse rape case.

The article has the full details.

Didn’t anybody ever tell Nifong you can’t trust people who work in the adult entertainment business?

And remember, the night of the alleged rape she claims she was taking the pain drug Flexeril. Well one doctor realized that with her history of mental problems, she was at “very high risk” for abusing drugs. He noted that she should not be given any narcotics. But another doctor ended up giving her more Flexeril along with Percocet, a strong pain narcotic. I think it’s possible she was playing the hospitals in order to feed a drug addiction, in addition to whatever other reasons she in my opinion made up this lie about a rape.

Hat tip to reader Seahawk.

I don’t think there’s any better way to prove you have family values, than to show your own family expressing the values you claim to endorse. This is what Maryland Republican US Senate candidate Michael Steele is proving he is able to do. For example, it’s one thing for a Conservative to say people should work hard and not look for government handouts. It’s another thing to say your own mother proved it in action. And it goes one step further when you can have your mother actually appear in a campaign ad and agree with the statements.

Check out this Michael Steele campaign ad with his mother.

Anybody claiming he is some kind of fraud or against people doing well for themselves looks foolish when stood up against that ad. He knows how people do their best and is simply man enough to say it.

Then there is the whole Michael J. Fox mess. Fox tried to attack Steele and Bush in a campaign ad for Ben (I’ve worked a full 40 in Congress, please retire me) Cardin. Fox claimed that Steele and Bush are against promising stem cell research. Fox told what I feel are 2 outright lies! First, we all know Fox is trying to imply that embryonic stem cell research, where babies are used as guinea pigs is “promising”. In fact, embryonic stem cell research is the LEAST promising of all forms of stem cell research thus far. It has produced NO useful cures for anything, not even close. While other forms of stem cell research using adult and other forms have proven much more promising. They’ve shown more positive results. If using babies like scraps was so “promising”, why can’t Fox find scores of venture capitalists to supply funding? The fact is that they know a bad investment when they see it.

Second, both Steele and Bush support what has proven to be the most promising form of stem cell research. Everything except the use of babies as medical scraps. And the real irony is that Ben Cardin has voted against promising (non-baby killing) stem cell research.

The bottom line is that Fox like Christopher Reeve before him, is chasing a false and immoral hope in the name of saving himself.

Steele has decided to fall back on his family values in response to Fox. The best kind of support you can ever have short of God!

Steele’s ad is accurate, because he does support stem cell research. Neither Cardin or Steele’s ad ever actually say the word “embryonic”, but because camp Cardin wants to play on that, they claim Steele’s ad is somehow misleading because it does not mention the specific type of research Steele does or does not support. Cardin had no problem avoiding the use of the word “embryonic” (ie babies) in his ad, but wants to try and attack Steele. How moronic, because Cardin knows if he used the word much in his own ad it would turn off voters.

Steele is right, Ben Cardin makes it all up as he goes along. It’s time to take out the trash and show Cardin the door!

If killing babies is a “promising” form of medical research, than pillaging other countries is a “promising” economic strategy. Do research on a rabbit and Liberals cry, but do research on babies unable to develop and they beg for more of it. Again proving that Liberals put animals above humans.

Steele had me worried with people like smut music promoter and drug legalization ACTORvist Russel Simmons, plus radio smut promoter Cathy Hughes and total nut cases Don King and Mike Tyson all campaigning for him. But he’s still better than Cardin and not more of the same .

This is proof that voting for a Liberal simply because he aligns with some of your views will still burn you! When voters in NJ voted for Democrat James E. McGreevey, they had no idea they were also voting for so-called gay marriage, but in fact they were. Of course if given a vote, the people of NJ would outlaw morally depraved efforts to place anything but one man and one woman into an institution with the name “marriage”. Just as is happening all across this nation and Thank God will soon happen here in Tennessee. The voters in NJ voted for McGreevey because they thought the Liberal was someone they agreed with, but now they have been burned. And many in NJ still don’t even realize it was him that burned them.

Yesterday Dr. Michael Savage uncovered that McGreevey loaded up the NJ Supreme Court with pro-gay activist judges. Of the 4 judges in the majority of the 4-3 ruling, that voted for homosexuals to be treated as if they were heterosexual. 3 of those judges were appointed by none other than Liberal Democrat and formerly down-low gay sex at highway rest stops James E. McGreevey. (Yes heterosexual fornication is also a sin, but McGreevey was engaging in depraved unnatural activity with any man he could get his hands on. While he had a wife and kids at home!) McGreevey claimed he was against gay marriage, to stealthily win the Governorship and then stacked the court with judges that would favor it. Everyone knew he was a Liberal Democrat and simply hoped he was not “that Liberal”. The bottom line is that all candidates prove to be a bit more Liberal once in office than they told voters they were when running for office. So if a candidate seems to be fairly Liberal like McGreevey, you have to assume he’s actually a far Left Liberal, willing to allow all manner of sin to be not just allowed, but actually encouraged by the state with special recognition, licensing and benefits.

Of the judges on the NJ Supreme Court 3 were nominated by McGreevey and 4 by former Republican Governor Christine Todd Whitman. Only one of Withman’s appointed judges sided with McGreevey’s picks. At 75% she did pretty good! I’m not saying Whitman is very Conservative, because I never felt she was, but she is more of a Conservative than McGreevey. Savage details it all here on his web site.

The bottom line is that the people of NJ need to press for the ability to amend their state’s constitution to end this mess. And everyone across the nation should press for a Constitutional amendment that affirms state recognized marriage in America can only be between one man and one woman. As I continually mention, Utah was not allowed into the Union until that state and its largest religious body denounced polygamy. Certainly they would not have been permitted with gays calling themselves married. America has always been against so-called gay marriage, to the point of it being so obvious that nobody felt a need to waste paper on making laws to outlaw it before now. Keep in mind there were laws against fornication and sodomy. America had a level of sexual morality, that homosexual-activists are trying to tear away. Americans regardless of their race or status do not want gays calling themselves “married” and if Americans want to stop it they will need to eventually do so on the federal level. Because if not, the gay activists will press their own claim on the federal level. Just as immoral baby killers pressed the federal courts about the issue of abortion when some states outlawed it. Pro-gay Liberals will do the same with this issue of who can be called “married” in America. The attitude of Americans against gays’ efforts is far stronger than even the effort to prevent the intentionally targeted killing of babies in the womb. So there is no shortage of people who are against the pro-gay lobby. But those who are against that lobby must press the case to the highest level or the pro-gay lobby will.

Also, legislative bodies need the ability to be able to over-ride a court ruling with a 2/3 majority vote. This will ensure in cases where courts grossly overstep their bounds, the issue can be swiftly corrected. The NJ court did not uphold law, they made it. And the people need a means to press for removal of such insane rulings. Savage feels the judges themselves should be removed. Down here in the South, we vote for our judges to obtain and maintain their posts. So it’s very easy for us to remove the ones who don’t act right. Maybe that’s why you have not seen any Southern court ruling for gays to call themselves “married”.

The gay lifestyle is, unnatural, unhealthy and unproductive. Which is why Jesus said:

Yesterday Tennessee Republican US Senate candidate Bob Corker spoke with Sean Hannity about the latest controversies with one of his opponents, Harold Ford Junior.

First they discussed the “Memphis Meltdown”, where Ford crashed a Corker presser. Corker said Ford is a “nice young man”, but maybe Ford does not have the demeanor, comportment or state men’s like ability people want to see in the US Senate.

I have to agree. Because when you’re a Congressman running for Senate and out in public hitting a Playboy party, you’re just not showing the level of maturity expected of a US Senator.

Imagine a US Senator looking like this!

Corker mentioned that Ford has received 70% of his campaign money from outside of the state!!!

Later in the interview, Hannity told Corker that Ford Sr. was using the word “cracker” when referring to a Corker supporter. Mr. Corker said he never heard the audio of Ford Sr. possibly using the word “cracker”. Hannity is saying that Ford Sr. said “cracker”. I’m sticking with my retraction of that one. Because after hearing it more times, I’m not sure if he said “cracker” or “tracker”. So I’ll have to default to the position of accepting that he said “tracker”.

After playing the clip for Corker twice and asking him to comment, after some laughs Corker said:

Obviously it’s inappropriate kind of language.

Again I’ll say, I don’t like Ford or Corker, although Corker is slightly better than Ford. I’m voting for Emory “Bo” Heyward, who is also on the ballot.

update 11/6/2006 5:06PM: Hannity agreed the word was “trackers” on 10/27/2006, had on Ford Jr. and apologized.

I’ve been thinking about this one and figured maybe I’d wait till closer to his soon to be failed Presidential campaign to comment, but I never would have done as well on the topic as La Shawn Barber has done in her post today about the Obama hype. Highly recommended reading. She knocks the cover off the ball! I really don’t care what he wrote about in his book. The main issue is that this guy is a typical Liberal, but he’s treated like a someone great, simply because he’s the latest Black Liberal who can formulate a sentence. He votes like Ted Kennedy and groups that intentionally target children in the womb for murder (you call it abortion) like Planned Parenthood and NARAL no chance for babies Pro-Choice America both give him their golden seal of approval, a 100% rating. He’s also one of the 62 Senators I’ve targeted for being voted out of office, because he was part of efforts against the original House bill to stop illegal immigration. Like any broken clock, sometimes he gets one right, like the funding transparency bill he supported. But he’s a Liberal and a real danger to not just children in the womb. The man is adored by Islamists!

So the man is awful and if he ever had a serious shot at being President I’d work against him till election day!

In La Shawn’s post, I noticed she pointed out a picture on Time magazine’s web site. It’s the big picture at the top of the story with a White woman fawning all over Obama. Using Liberal logic, isn’t that picture racist? Hey I only hold them to the standard of their own statements.

Speaking of which, I had to think about some Black Republicans that are running for office and possibly getting some added attention because they are Black. While they get some added time in the spot light, I don’t think their attention can be compared to Obama. Here’s my take on them:

• Ken Blackwell - Ohio - He’s getting some extra attention, but he’s been in Ohio politics for ages. Unlike Obama, he’s overly qualified for the office he’s seeking. So he’s got more than his skin tone getting him attention.
• Lynn Swann - Pennsylvania - I already mentioned that I think he’s under qualified for the position he’s seeking, but he’s better than the guy he’s running against. Unlike Obama, Swann was a household name before he got into politics. So he can’t be judged on the same scale as Obama for the attention he gets now. Swann is more like Arnold Schwarzenegger when it comes to the attention he gets. Because he’s running in part on name recognition and respect he obtained before politics. So he’s got more than his skin tone getting him attention.
• Michael Steele - Maryland - This guy lines up pretty well with many of my views and he’s better than the career politician he’s running against, but yes like Obama he gets much of his spotlight because of his skin tone. However, he gets no where near as much spot light as Obama. And much of the media that praises Obama often attempts to trash Michael Steele. If Steele’s attacks were weighed with his praise you’d get a net sum of zero, because the two cancel each other out. On the other hand, Obama gets far more praise than he gets attacked. Not to mention, Steele is not talking about running for President. So Steele’s aspirations are more respectable for a guy with a short resume, than a 2 year Liberal Senator that suddenly wants to be President.

  And truth be told, the Lt. Governor’s spot is higher than the position held by Obama prior to his run for the US Senate. (Obama was an IL state senator before being elected to the US Senate.)

So nobody really compares to the adoration sent Obama’s way, mostly because he’s Black and can speak so well. Personally, I do like that British Prime Minister Tony Blair can articulate the need for our current war against the enemy well and I think most people agree. So the speaking credits don’t always go to just Blacks. Just the same, Obama gets way more than he’s worked for and way more than anyone else he can be compared to. I was going to wait, but I’m glad somebody stepped up and spoke on it now. I don’t “hate” Obama, but I do HATE almost everything he stands for.
