Which is Bigger News?

Cheney Shoots Man In Hunting Accident
or
Gore decries treatment of Arabs post 9-11

Now I am confident that anyone reading this has heard about the Vice President's hunting accident, anything that happens to anyone in a presidential administration will be news. however after three days, it's still front page news. But I am willing to bet that you probably have not heard about the statements made by former vice president Al Gore. He told a mainly Saudi audience on Sunday that the U.S. government committed "terrible abuses" against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and that most Americans did not support such treatment. Gore said Arabs had been "indiscriminately rounded up" and held in "unforgivable" conditions. The former vice president said the Bush administration was routinely blocking Saudi visa applications. "Unfortunately there have been terrible abuses and it's wrong," Gore said. "I do want you to know that it does not represent the desires or wishes or feelings of the majority of the citizens of my country." HIS country, when it was his country, him and his boss repeatedly refused to fight the terrorism that was plain as day to any thinking person in the country. Now the 1st amendment protects his right to blabber on about whatever he wants, but common sense says you don't lie about things like that in the wake of the worldwide Muslim riots over a silly cartoon. Saying that he is an Idiot is a little easier to handle, you know, just a poor choice of words. But I don't think that is it at all. I believe it was calculated. Which begs the question, who's side is he on? Unfortunately he's not on the side of America. It is clear that this is just another attack on George Bush. Which on the face is fine, there have been political games for all of time, but now it has taken a different turn. The Lefts hatred of Pres. Bush has aligned them with our enemy. The positions the democratic party have taken recently are proof of it. Look at the NSA program that was leaked and now is being opposed. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ATTACKED IN OVER 4 YEARS BECAUSE OF PROGRAMS LIKE THIS!!! But now its worthless because someone who doesn't like the President leaked it. Now my 4 children, my wife, and myself are less safe. And look at the position the libs take on our P.O.W.'s, they would see them all set free. Well golly-gee, I wonder what fanatical terrorists would do if they were let back on the street. But our being "nice" now takes precedence over keeping us safe. And to top it all off, those that want to make our country more dangerous are the same ones that try to take away my ability to defend my family.(Sorry, gun control is for another article).

So, you make the call, which is a bigger story, the VP's hunting accident, or the former VP putting my family in danger?

Oh yeah, Al was lying and you can bet he won't be called on it.

I agree. Al Gore should've buried the Constitution with me this weekend.

Just wait till Alito gets his hands on Josef K.! I feel safer already.

Thanks for stopping by... and leaving the music link. But how do you get that link to play inside the site?? Do I put the link inside the template and if so, how?

Thought you might know that word Agape...I was speaking to someone at a gun store that thought the word was a-gape...

whatcha can make out from my journal is this...

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle." -Plato

Agape = tough love...with chutzpah.

For some interesting reading Google Echelon Clinton abuse.

As I remember, the existence of Bush's NSA program was revealed when it was to sell a book exposing the details. It was all to make money and to damage Bush. It was known for some time but not exposed until the book was ready.

That seems to be the goal of Al Gore too, damage Bush. He takes sore loser to a new low.

The goal of all dems is to destroy Bush, thats why they dont have any ideas of their own. You can sum up the entire democratic statagy as "get Bush"
