Thoughtcrime: D.C. Reporter Suspended for Accurate Report on BP’s Donations to Obama

Big Journalism "Nevertheless, the Washington Post, quoting anonymous sources, indicated McKelway’s report crossed the line. The newspaper reported:
According to several of McKelway’s colleagues, the newsman’s reporting may have lapsed into partisan territory when he commented live on the air about the oil industry’s influence in Washington, particularly its contributions to Democratic politicians and legislators.
"This is absolutely absurd. The Post’s decision to use anonymous sources to smear McKelway was bad enough, but reporter Paul Farhi also wrote a subjective description of the broadcast instead of simply stating the facts. The newspaper’s own reporters engage in flagrant partisan behavior on a daily basis."

Lesson to news reporters: Be left or get left.

Have you ever wondered if anyone in Europe remembers America's sacrifice in World War II? There is an answer in a small town in the Czech Republic.(Broken link replaced)

Many people still go to this site, but I found the link no longer any good. We apologize and hope these will help those who were frustrated in previous searches. Scroll down for more related links.

New Link  "God Bless Pilsen; ...."Every five years Plzen conducts the Liberation Celebration of the City of Pilsen in the Czech Republic. May 6th, 2010 marked the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Pilsen by General George Patton's 3rd Army. Pilsen is the town that every American should visit. Because they love America and the American Soldier..." Memorable pictures and description. Hat tip to Ron Gazda, Texas.



Remembering the liberation of Plzen, sixty years on  " "Vladimir Palek from the mayor's office in Plzen says that under communism people were fed with myths, aimed at distorting and playing down the 3rd Army's role. The museum, he says, will help to unravel some of these myths.
"They said that no American soldiers died in West Bohemia, and we know it is not true. There are many dozens of Americans who died. They really fought, and we try to show it." "

The stunning decline of Barack Obama: 10 key reasons why the Obama presidency is in meltdown

UK Telegraph ("UK"; that would be Britain. Y'know, like, the Queen*.) "Growing disillusionment with the Obama administration’s handling of the economy as well as health care and immigration has gone hand in hand with mounting unhappiness with the President’s aloof and imperial style of leadership, and a growing perception that he is out of touch with ordinary Americans, especially at a time of significant economic pain. Barack Obama’s striking absence of natural leadership ability (and blatant lack of experience) has played a big part in undermining his credibility with the US public, with his lacklustre handling of the Gulf oil spill coming under particularly intense fire."

The New Republic’s Keith Olbermann "Chait has been reduced to arguing (ad nauseam) that Obama’s unpopularity has virtually nothing to do with Obama’s policies or his liberal ideology; it has to do with the very bad economy and those darn “structural factors.” Barack Obama is a fantastic president, you see; it’s just too bad the conditions in the country are miserable.
"Jonathan has become something of an amusing read. It is not simply watching him try to twist reality to fit his ideological presuppositions, which is amusing enough; it is the whole packaged deal – the adolescent rage, exemplified in his “I hate Bush” rant [15], the playground taunts, the pretense of governing and policy expertise."

Race-Card Payment Coming Due

Jonah Goldberg  "[Maxine]Waters [Democrat], the representative for South Central Los Angeles since 1991, is one of America's premier racial hucksters. A notoriously nasty piece of work, she sided with the murderous rioters in what she called the post-Rodney King verdict "rebellion" and danced the electric slide with the Crips and the Bloods. (Who says she's not bipartisan?) So it's hardly surprising that she'd lump all of her problems on Whitey. Via Lucianne.

Waters defended the actions of these guys , calling it "rebellion".  God bless those brave African- Americans who came to Denny's rescue and saved his life.

Computer Hackers and Terrorist Backers

Professor Mike Adams "Officials at Kent state University have now resorted to lying to protect a radical Islamic professor who has engaged in treason against the United Stated government. In addition to demanding the criminal prosecution of Professor Julio Pino, citizens of Ohio should immediately withdraw all support from Kent State."  "Mike Adams is a criminology professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and author of Feminists Say the Darndest Things: A Politically Incorrect Professor Confronts "Womyn" On Campus."

Treason defined: "The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offence is punished with death. By the same article of the Constitution, no person shall be convicted of treason, unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court."

The Blame Bush Strategy Won't Work; Polls reveal voters are receptive to GOP ideas.

Karl Rove "To save themselves in the midterm elections, Democrats are counting on selling two themes: The state of the economy is all George W. Bush's fault, and Republican policies will take us backwards. President Obama relished going to Texas this week to blame his predecessor for the current bad economy.
"Nice try, but it won't work. Don't take my word. This is what Mr. Obama's pollster, Joel Beneson, has found."...

Sacrilege at Ground Zero

Charles Krauthammer "And why Pope John Paul II ordered the Carmelite nuns to leave the convent they had established at Auschwitz. He was in no way devaluing their heartfelt mission to pray for the souls of the dead. He was teaching them a lesson in respect: This is not your place; it belongs to others. However pure your voice, better to let silence reign."

And now for another liberal point of view : "'Ground Zero Mosque' Will Be a Green Building". Well, that was my only real cause for concern all along.

WikiLeaks preparing to release more Afghan files

AP "WikiLeaks spokesman Julian Assange said Thursday his organization is preparing to release the rest of the secret Afghan war documents it has on file. The Pentagon warned that would be more damaging to security and risk more lives than the organization's initial release of some 76,000 war documents."
Can't he be charged with accessory to murder?

The Gulf Recovery Obama Does Not Want to See

Heritage "Not on the agenda? Any meetings with oil workers in other Gulf states who are now unemployed thanks to President Obama’s Gulf oil drilling ban.
"If the President really wanted to see the economic damage his policies are causing in the Gulf, he could first stop in Pascagoula, Miss., where idle oil rigs in the Signal International shipyard have formed an eerie floating ghost city that locals have dubbed “Rig Row.”"
