"...an utterly corrupt new religion called environmentalism..."
If the history of this planet's climate over millions of years is any guide, we are about to enter a new ice age.
CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper indicated in a 1993 interview with the Minneapolis Star Tribune that he wants to see the United States become a Muslim country.
Reform? House Majority Leader Campaign Begins
By Warner Todd Huston (01/13/06)
I love how the Main Stream Media phrases a debate. We aren¹t just about to
have the House of Reps in Washington elect a new Majority leader, but we are
electing a "reform agenda". And, since we all need serious and sweeping
reform, it is just a shame that every Republican is tainted with scandal.
With John Shadegg (R, Arizona) announcing that he is now placing himself in the running for the Majority Leader position, the MSM is already trying to ruin his chances.
Here’s how MSNBC put it today:
“Shadegg is trying to position himself to run as a fresh face to Blunt and Boehner, each of whom has extensive ties to Washington’s lobbyists. But Shadegg is not completely separate from Washington lobbyists himself. In December, he shed more than $6,900 in campaign contributions from sources connected with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.”
“Shadegg is not completely separate”, they say. No whiff of REAL culpability on Shadegg’s part is discussed, however. He just happened to take legal campaign contributions from Abramoff.
ABC News used the same tactic:
“Shadegg is positioned to run as the outsider and fresh face to Blunt and Boehner, each of whom has extensive ties to Washington's lobbyist money culture. But Shadegg also has shed more than $6,900 in campaign contributions from sources connected with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.”
Nice and smooth. Tar Shadegg with the Abramoff brush without attempting to qualify whether Shadegg actually did anything wrong!
With Shadegg’s entry we have the more conservative of the trio up for the position and the MSM know this and want to do their best to scuttle the possibility with their obvious agenda so transparently on display.
Of course, it isn’t just Shadegg they are trying to taint. Here is how the Cleveland Plain Dealerattacked Representative John Boehner (R, Ohio):
“But the quest by Boehner (pronounced BAY-ner) to win the No. 2 post in the House, giving him sway in leading the Republican majority, presents a dilemma. If Congress is to renounce its cozy relationships with lobbyists - the intense chase for campaign money and deal-making that's prompting outrage - Boehner may not represent a sweeping change.”
So, we have the double-edged sword of saying Boehner “may not represent sweeping change” and a tainting of all lobbyists in that report. This was opinion, not news.
Of course, Abramoff did some illegal stuff. But not everyone who received contributions from him were in the wrong to take them However, if you were to read the MSM’s account of the situation you’d imagine that every contribution was somehow illegal or unethical.
New here’s my “opinion”. One would bet that neither of the media outlets I mentioned here worried about “corruption” when Al Gore was getting contributions totaling thousands of dollars from Nuns who had supposedly taken a vow of poverty in the late 90s. Nor, can you find many stories that reveal the dozens and dozens of Democrats that Abramoff gave money to today, I’d bet!
The MSM. Monument to sophistry.

"Mexico, Canada partnership underway with no authorization from Congress"
The United States Is Being Overthrown By Our Politicians - "A silent but all-reaching coup is taking place within the
United States. This coup is not being directed by bomb-laden Muslim terrorists, nor will it ever be covered by the mainstream media.
The seditious act is being carried out by our very own elected officials, with President Bush leading the insurrection."
"The FDA has conveniently used the excuse of looking out for consumer safety to increase their perverse regulatory power,
undermine free speech, disrupt commerce, and generally get in the way of helping people improve their health. The "half-truth" of
the safety issue is used as a ploy to reduce the rights of Americans, one freedom at a time. Once again, the FDA is seeking more
police power to intimidate supplement companies. This is one step in an overall FDA master plan to eliminate therapeutic nutritional
supplements from the free market. Those who lose are the American public." The FDA - A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
