So much that it's tiring. It doesn't make sense to waste my time raging against something that will never diminish no matter what I do or say. Political "consultants" hired by the democratic campaigns are some of the ugliest people I've ever encountered. Read what they say about each other.

PBS once again shows it's liberal bias. They claim that the special "Muslims Against Jihad" didn't meet their editorial standards, yet this film about military strategy and policy is filled with opinions from journalists at the Washington Post and NY Times. Most of the military people who participated in the film are Colonels, Lt. Colonels, or http://davesimaginaryfriend.blogspot.com/2007/06/liberal-smear-job-actually-makes-sense.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dave)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30508026.post-8843801377007752158Wed, 27 Jun 2007 13:55:00 +00002007-06-27T10:00:21.463-04:00The stupidity surrounding this issue is really wearing on me. The reason 20 million people have sneaked into the US illegally is that nobody is guarding the border. Congress could pass a hundred new laws but until the border is guarded effectively, the insurgency will continue. Nothing in the current crop of legislation will change that.http://davesimaginaryfriend.blogspot.com/2007/06/more-immigration.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dave)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30508026.post-2394781078869961709Tue, 26 Jun 2007 15:17:00 +00002007-06-26T12:34:52.321-04:00There are a few things wrong with our immigration laws, but nothing that can't be easily fixed. According to our representatives in Washington, from both sides of the aisle, it's a total travesty and we need a new set of laws. Congress wonders why it's approval rating is at an all-time low (13%). Most of them just don't get it.

There is so much going on that needs attention, that it is a little overwhelming. I could write a book about the immigration reform scandal. If I added some commentary on the 2008 candidates, I'd be griping for the next two years.

From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Unless it would be "What took so long?". I don't care why, as long as she goes and does it quickly. Last night I heard her babble about Alberto Gonzalez being responsible for the "torture memo". I can't quote her precisely, but she seems to believe that our government tortures american citizens here in this country, and abroad, and it's all because of our Attorney General. http://davesimaginaryfriend.blogspot.com/2007/04/rosie-odonnell-fired-thank-god.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dave)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30508026.post-5804165357044302787Tue, 24 Apr 2007 19:09:00 +00002008-11-13T16:21:07.908-05:00Recently, flags around the US have been lowered to half-staff in honor of the 32 victims of the VATech shootings. I don't really have a problem with that, but I find it interesting that no such honors have been observed for the real heroes in our society --the men and women who have given their lives in service to our armed forces. I'm sure those students and teachers were wonderful people, and http://davesimaginaryfriend.blogspot.com/2007/04/no-flags-at-half-staff-for-soldiers.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dave)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30508026.post-8441618569168353555Wed, 18 Apr 2007 00:13:00 +00002007-04-24T15:07:58.940-04:00When I heard of the massacre in Virginia, one of my first thoughts was that within hours, the left would be pointing to the 2nd Amendment as the cause. These slimeball opportunists have no shame, and as much as I resent the timing, I feel an obligation to point out a few inaccuracies being reported by the media. 1.

This memorial will be dedicated in an October, 2007 ceremony in Savannah, Georgia - the 1/75th's home. We would like to notify the families of all Rangers whose names will be on this memorial.

When his most recent faux pas became public, I was one who smirked and enjoyed the theater. He finally got a taken down a notch (or three). I listened to the pundits and agreed with most of them -- It was a stupid joke, anger was understandable, and Don Imus should pay for it.Now that I've had time to consider the issue, I feel that I was wrong.

He fits no usual mold. His unique maverick appearance and demeanor appeals to many. What he has never realized, is that he is the real "nit-wit", and his latest remarks about the Rutgers Womens Basketball Team proves it. In what sort of crowd would such comments be funny? He claims it was an attempt at humor, and I believe that. It's probably very funny to http://davesimaginaryfriend.blogspot.com/2007/04/double-standard-for-jerk.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dave)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30508026.post-174930961820590981Thu, 05 Apr 2007 18:44:00 +00002007-04-05T15:17:30.902-04:00The question we need to ask is - what did Nancy Pelosi know and when did she know it? I don't believe that Iran's release of British hostages, only hours after Pelosi's meeting with Assad, was mere coincidence. The timing of this entire crisis was orchestrated by Tehran to embarrass the Bush administration and create a propaganda windfall for our enemies and the Democrats. 1.

Pundits have a short list of issues that they believe should be the focus of our next election, and Identity theft and Internet fraud doesn't appear to be a concern. My mother is 76-years-old.

In 1993, when janet reno fired every single US attorney so that she could replace them with Democrats, you didn't hear a single peep out of the American press. They didn't even cover the story. Alberto Gonzalez fires 8 or 9 US Attorney's, and the press makes it into a big deal with a trail leading allhttp://davesimaginaryfriend.blogspot.com/2007/03/why-no-media-outrage-over-janet-renos.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dave)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30508026.post-7554511699913306516Fri, 23 Mar 2007 16:31:00 +00002007-03-23T13:46:25.911-04:00"Rome" in this case, according to Pete Townsend, is the music industry. A more apt analogy, is that the music industry is like a Canal St. grocery store and the the Internet is Hurricane Katrina. While the winds rage and the water rises, millions are looting anything that isn't nailed down, and calling their actions an expression of digital freedom. Stealing is theft and theft is wrong. http://davesimaginaryfriend.blogspot.com/2007/03/rome-is-burning.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dave)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30508026.post-8784197441339874726Thu, 15 Mar 2007 15:54:00 +00002007-03-15T12:04:11.845-04:00I've been following the left-wings outrage over secret prisons for some time now. Today I read the news regarding Khalid Sheik Mohammad's confession. The report I read couldn't be filed without first consulting Human Rights Watch for their opinion on the subject. Human Rights Watch has four offices in the United States.

Since WWII, we've only had two doubtfuls', both Democrats, and sure enough, both were disasters. Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton showed us what happens when you put a liberal in charge of foreign policy and the military.

Three simple words that have a variety of connotations. When someones idea for fixing something fails, they might shrug their shoulders and say "Well, it was a good idea". Anyone aiding them in the effort usually agrees, and the handymen go on to try something else.

This increased committment is psychological boost to our other NATO allies. I've been reading some "doom & gloom" articles regarding Afghanistan, but this morning I've found reason for hope.

Thousands of Shia poured into the streets to protest the arrest and detention of a a prominent Shia politicians son. If thousands of Shia would pour into the streets and protest the presence of Iranian muslim extremists who are trying to disrupt the political process, there might be no need for US troops in the region.

Extremists in the muslim world reject freedom, tolerance, progress, and human rights. The recent outcry's over rape serves as an excellent primer on the war within muslim culture.
