I'll have to check in and see if my local ones placed. In the running were the Portland Press Herald, which I've written for back when they had an open-minded editorial page editor, and the infamous Boston Globe. It's owned by the New York Times but is losing circulation bigtime. There's a group of local businessmen trying to buy it.<BR/><BR/>Bob Novak had a great column recently saying that wars are won or lost in the media, not on the battlefield and he's so right. Bush should have sicced Gonzalez on the NYT when it published those top secret stories. It's not too late, but now he'd incur the wrath of the House Judiciary Committee in the form of impeachment hearings. The NYT is Holy Scripture to the Dems.Tom McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691546351143209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-1164416437950454192006-11-24T20:00:00.000-05:002006-11-24T20:00:00.000-05:00Tom,The more I think about it, the more I am convi...Tom,<BR/><BR/>The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that the efficacy of American foreign policy and military is being shaped not in Washngton, DC but on the editorial pages of this nation's major newspapers. And, frankly speaking, our leaders just do not have the guts to stand up to these pinko journos. In a conservative state like Georgia, it is a travesty that liberals like Cynthia Tucker get to be editors (not to mention the fact that she is a "female, African American" like that other nutcase, Cynthia McKinney) and Mike Luckovich (numero uno Bush basher) gets to be the cartoonist, at the AJC. I believe the situation is quite similar in other red states (Dallas News and Kansas Star in TX and KS, for eg). This is sickening to me that we do NOT have major newspapers that have views reflecting those of a majority of their readers. It also irks me to no end that tax-payer money is subsidzing liberal agendas through NPR and PBS. Why is our money being spent frivolously like this? All these people are weakening America by constantly bashing anything American -- politicians, military personnel, big companies, small businesses, etc. And then we sit and wonder why is there no control on the streets of Iraq? Because, the moment American troops take some action, these media hyenas are there to scream blood! What nonsense is this! Can't we learn anything from our good friends and allies in Israel?<BR/><BR/>SrirajAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-1164404019498916762006-11-24T16:33:00.000-05:002006-11-24T16:33:00.000-05:00I don't know enough about their mating habits to a...I don't know enough about their mating habits to answer that one tom. I think it's educational propaganda in the madrassas and that all-too-common human tendency to look for the source of problems in others to avoid looking in the mirror.<BR/><BR/>You're all fired up Sriraj. A moratorium on Muslim immigrants? I'm okay with that, but it's up to the Dems now. In control of congress, they might dry up the funds to fight as they did in 1974 with the Vietnamese. Then we had hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. What will the Kurds and whatever other Iraqis who've been working with do if we pull out and there's a civil war? Will they be left to the mercy of the Baathists and Sadr's Mahdi Army?<BR/><BR/>They'll probably be allowed to come here by the hundreds of thousands. At least we won't have a shortage of Arabic translators when we have to go back into the region as we inevitably will, assuming it doesn't vaporize into mushroom clouds.Tom McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691546351143209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-1164384906256314912006-11-24T11:15:00.000-05:002006-11-24T11:15:00.000-05:00Tom,That's what people in the eastern hemisphere h...Tom,<BR/><BR/>That's what people in the eastern hemisphere have been crying out loud, for God's sake...we've been carping not about terrorists, not about radicals BUT about your average, daily Muslim on the street. India (and, by that, I mean Hindus) have been persecuted by repeated Muslim invaders and occupiers for hundreds of years. Our temples were looted, our innocents were raped and murdered and here, in this chokingly politically correct society, we call Islam a religion of peace??!!!<BR/>Israel exactly knows the nature of its enemy -- plz see Glenn Beck's one-hour interview of former Israeli PM, Bibi Netanyahu, on CNN Headlines. PM Netanyahu was hitting one homer after the other. I don't think even Glenn was able to put things into 'context' the way a guy like me was. <BR/><BR/>Islam was born in a very violent region of the world, in very turbulent times and founded by a very violent man. Islam has repeatedly used violence to forcibly convert people into its faith, the world over. Islam, as a creed, has always been exclusionist (and I'm not referring to the exterme Wahabiis). Tom, we have to understand the nature of this religion. And, there are so many dumb-asses in this nation, who don't know all these things, thanks to the govt education they receive. It is dangerous for any country/society when an ignorant electorate votes those who promise blue-skies to them. That is why tough decision makers like Pres Bush and Don Rumsfeld will never ever be popular.<BR/><BR/>I strongly propose a moratorium on immigration from Islamic countries to the US for the next 20 years, at the very least. This nonsense has to be stoppped. Does anyone discuss religious minorities being persecuted in Pakistan and Bangladesh? Has anyone paid attention to ethnic cleansing in the Kashmir valley? Does anyone know that Somalia is becoming the next hotbed for Islamic terrorists? Where the **** are the NYT, WP, LAT, AJC, BG, etc? To busy paying attention to OJ Simpson, Dancing with the Stars, NFL and local crime beats? Tom, America has not woken up to the danger of Islam. I hate to be the guy to be repeatedly complaining about the ignorance of average Americans, but did you see the news today -- Muqtada Al Sadr (that b*****d) is trying to determine if Pres Bush must meet PM Maliki or not?!, Russia delivers rocket launchers/rockets to Iran, Russian spy gets poisoned in Europe, more than 200 people killed y'day in Iraq...plz wake up folks. This is extremely serious stuff. Tom, plz keep posting your comments, sir. <BR/><BR/>Sriraj.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
