Just a few things that irked me today. Do they irk you? :
1. To me, this is a perfect example of Yahoo's bias and the leftist mind. How can they be SO surprised that someone who 'hates war' can support the war in Iraq? "Despite support for Iraq, McCain tells voters 'I detest war'" is the Yahoo homepage headline.
Please, Conservatives who do support this war, if you comment, let us know if you enjoy war, okay? Thanks. And, of course, now there's more....... (Got to expose that mean ol' Conservative!)
2. This, from Mr. Z, who reads the German media on the internet every morning: The German party "Die Linke" (comprised mostly of remnants from the Communist party in E Germany and those from the further Left of the SPD, Germany's 'Democrats', who are traditionally more liberal than ours ever were) isn't hiding the truth like our media does: The party chief, Oskar Lafontaine, wants to include passages from the Communist Manifest of the late 19th century into the party program. This will consist mainly of the following sentiment and all it suggests: "The "bourgeoisie" exploits the working class, and, therefore, power and wealth needs to be redistributed".
Isn't that more or less exactly what Obama (Z: and Hillary and Pelosi), and why is nobody calling him on that what he really is - a communist? Why, indeed, Mr. Z?
To Germany's credit, the SPD, their "Democrats" are very upset, saying Die Linke has betrayed the voters because the coalition is so far Left, nobody wants COMMUNISM, and it's nothing the people had voted for. You think OUR Left would wake up and see what the Dems are pushing these days is Communism, too? Or that our media would have the guts to call what Obama and Clinton and Pelosi are calling for exactly what it IS?
3. I was practicing what Mr. Z refers to as "self mutilation" by watching MSNBC's coverage of McCain at the AP conference this morning. (I like to see what all the news is saying, so I subject myself to most but draw the line at more than 3 seconds of Olbermann).....The AP question to McCain was "Did you find Obama 'elitist' during your 2 years in the senate together?" McCain hesitated, thought, and said "I found him to have different opinions on most everything.." MSNBC then cut back to their news reader who said " and when asked about Obama's elitism in the Senate, McCain said Obama did lean a little towards elitism.." A blatant lie on MSNBC's part. TOTAL lie. THAT irks me BIG time.
4. To say NOTHING about JIMMY CARTER. Shouldn't he be ARRESTED?

Z, I love this post...it gets to the heart of the matter.
I remember in school, learning what communism, socialism, and democracy were. I remember having the kind of clarity that comes with a fresh mind, uncluttered by the lies and garbage thrown at us everyday by our media.
As adults, most Americans have completely lost touch with that clarity...the TRUTH! I guess it's a subtle form of brainwashing that occurs over years and years. My goal is to teach my kids to be on the lookout...watch for the red flags, trust their instincts, etc.
And Keith Obermann (sp?), makes me puke in my mouth a little.
hey Z!..yes Dhimmi Jimmy should be arrested!..great post:)
These events go a long way to prove my thesis, which is that our world has one inexhaustible resource: nitwits.
Mustang, that is a hilarious line! I love it! An old friend used to say something like "there is not lowest level to DUMB!"
WHT....I emailed you a few days ago..are you feeling better? I hope so.
Pinky....thank you. You know, it really does get to the 'heart of the matter', I hadn't planned it that way, but you're right. TRUTH. The TRUTH about socialism and communism, TRUTH from our supposed free press (they're free, we're held hostage by them), TRUTH that Carter should be arrested for what he's doing, TRUTH.. Something we're not getting much of these days and don't recognize when it's there for all the leftist spinning.
Keith Olbermann only makes you "puke in your mouth" a LITTLE??
So, let me get this straight. The remnants of the communist party from the former East Germany, that paradise that people were willing to risk getting shot for escaping from, are busy trying to establish their proven disaster in Germany.
The next time I entertain the desire to debate an American leftist, I'll remember this example, and conclude it's pointless, and go on my merry way.
One has to wonder how bad one's miserable living conditions have to be to continue to hold on to a failed ideology.
Since an American leftist has not experienced this, and refuses to accept the lessons of history, attempting to get through the fog he exists in, is futile.
Perhaps the explanation is as simple as trying to get through to a drug addict. He needs his fix of misery to be "happy".

Priscilla..isn't it unreal?
What Mr. Z and I wanted to emphasize is that the German media calls the commies COMMIES, they call it what it is! We have Obama and Clinton and Pelosi with exactly the same "rob the rich to pay the poor" platforms in store and the only words our media has for this is "unity" "caring" "progressive"!
The Germans, even the mainstream, more Democrat party (which is slightly 'lefter' than our centrist Dems, or we THOUGHT it was!)) are horrified at this pro Commie stuff. But, oh, no...not OUR LEFT!!
You ever heard a Democrat say "But Socialism hasn't ever worked before because it wasn't DONE RIGHT!?" I have. WHAT are they thinking? Let them have spent two months in East Germany, and they'd be Republicans!
I'm so far beyond "irked" I'm literally speechless.
"O, Judgment thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason. Fie on it! O fie! 'Tis an unweeded garden, and things rank and gross possess it merely . . ."
A fine description of the Red worldview from Shakespeare's Hamlet, written about three-hundred years before the birth of Karl Marx.

FT: How lovely! Who ever thought my blog would have "Fie" in a comment? Very intellectual..you and FJ add class to the site! xxx
Hi Z. Thanks for coming by my blog and leaving your kind words.
Also, I left you a response to your questions, but if you do not get back here is the link that should answer most of your questions, ad least I hope so.

I like your blog and intend to add it on my links page under my Blogroll section.
Thanks again for coming by!
CAN I CLARIFY SOMETHING please?
The German story is here to show THEY are getting it....Germany's waking up and seeing what their far Left is doing and saying and what they hope to do to Germany. Our point in discussing that here is that WE ARE NOT! The other point is that their media is calling a spade a spade; OURS is NOT! You will never hear our media call Obama or Hillary or Pelosi "Communist-like!" NEVER. The point is; Our Dems are doing what Germany's VERY far Left fringe is doing (and getting blasted for by Germans) and yet they're getting championed by our Left. THIS is what's REALLY irking Mr and Mrs. Z!
Wake up, America..!! Germany has!
HI, Layla,
That link is unbelievable. You are one brave woman and I wish you ALL the best.
Thanks for blogrolling me, I've done the same...good blog, Layla! I look forward to reading more and hope to see you often, too.
thanks, Z
Thank you Z and I too look forward to visiting you here often and reading on your blog and getting to know you also.
Have a blessed evening!
Z, that's the whole thing - the dishonesty of the agenda in the press today. And the fact that the Democrats won't be honest in speaking. What they tell us they will do, with Obama in the White House is completely socialist in nature. Redistribution of wealth, punish the successful, universal health care, and so on.
The left doesn't have a clue about national security or war, for that matter. As though any veteran is 'pro-war'. They are the first to be cautious as they know exactly what the experience is!
I watched McCain with the AP on C-SPAN. I thought he did really well. The audience was receptive to him and laughed and clapped. I think he is exactly the Republican to be running this time around against Obama, who will turn out to be Adlai Stevenson. He really , really thinks he is the smartest person in the room!
Do I love war?
Well, yes I do. Bad mouth war all you want, but it gets shit done.
Peace does not destroy the enemies of the United States of America. It's useless like that.
Just give war a chance!!!
Don't get me started on Jimmy Carter! After all he did for Venezuela...
the truth is the truth
never foolish
beamish: you are right. war has given Bush a good chance to get shit done.
