Don Corleone, Cobra, Chris Matthews, and my head
Well, Don Corleone Told Micheal, "BE close to your friends, but even closer to your enemies", It is good advice, specially now, living in the world that we do. While doing my cross training this morning, I watched Chris Matthews show. Cobra( Maureen Dowd) was there, all made up, and gleefull, also three other so called moderators, all liberal ellites, so full of themselves they could hardly fit in their seats. In the old days it was customery for Sunday Morning shows to have a more balanced group of Moderators. There were usually at least one token Conservative, given usually a liberal one present in the group. But after the election and the embaressing defeat of the lefties, they have thrown caution in the wind, and the new groups of moderators consist mostly of all Liberals. They probably feel safer being around each other, and they get to confirm each others far fetched ideas, and misrepresentations. Cobra, groomed to the hilt, all dressed up, still has a hard time to come up with a coherent discussion, and ideas. Lefties have tried so hard to sell her as the new thinker of the Liberal media , but so far, she has not been able to come through.
Chris Matthews, the bloated, blow hard, self garandising, interwiever that he is, has calmed down a bit. But still gets to chew the scenery, not allowing others finish their sentences. I think they should give him a show entirly focusing on his own misguided ideas, maybe his ego would settle a bit, and he gets to calm down, otherwise a massive coronery mid sentence is quite a possibility. Of course the progressive left has to ridicule, the more moderate ideas that are pushed by George Bush to deal with Social Security. Given their Messiha Bill Clinton and the puppet, Mr Gore, had only eight years to deal with it and of course they did not come up with any effort to shape the discussion on Social Security, and so far all the geniuses on the left still do not have any concrete solutions for such agenda.
Their only efforts are focused on demonising any guide lines or new models that are suggested by George Bush.
The recent visit from Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, and the pictures of George Bush holding hands with the Saudi Prince also came up, and The old connection of Bushies and their secret deal makings with the Oil Rich Saudies was also mocked and made fun of. You see the Liberals and environmentalist have not allowed us to build any new refineries in this country in the last thirty years. That means that even if we can come up with new sources of Oil in Alaska, the crude oil still has to shipped over seas for Refinery process. There is a solution by building new refineries in the old Amunition Factories and empty military baracks, but of course our friends on the left will not here of that either. So no new refineries, no new drillings for oil, and we still do not want to be dependent on Saudies. Well my friends something gotta give.
There is also the whole idea of Nuclear option in senate to avoid Fillibustering Judicial nomenies. Through out the history of our Republic, Republicxan have never used fillibuster to stop any Democrat Presidents from getting the vote on their Judicial, gain Judicial nomenies. Check your history books, this is a fact. By not allowing and up and down vote on George Bush's Judges, Democrats are stooping to new lows, and setting a dangerous precedent.
Last week there was also quite an uproar over " The Minutemen" volounteers, an independent all volounteer group that have formed a force to guard our borders with Mexico in Arizona. They started April second, and they have been very effective in apprehending Illegal immagrants that try to cross the borders. But now all our friends on the left are trying to stop this effort by sending their lawyers to Arizona and threatening to sue the volounteers.
My friend SL had posted a comment here, critisizing me for bundlling up all the leftist groups in a bunch and suggesting their support for INSERGENTS in Iraq. I do believe that such groups through their misguided elitist ideas have become the number on ennemies of this coutry and any hope of progres in rsoulving the deadlock in Washington.
MOVE ON.com, and NAACP, the blacK caucesse, and many others that I suggested in my rant, have tried so very hard and spent millions of dollars in their effort to disfranchise the vote in 2004. Of course in their feverish attempt they lost sight of the American Public's intteligent and their resentments of demagoguery, and abstractionist practices of the left. All their efforts only led, to a bigger majority for republicans on the hill, Democrats loss of their senete leaders, and many of their Public Icons.
I always say the minute your feeling of superiority takes over you and you thinks you are better suited to decide for others and you are more intelligent than your public, you have lost the discussion.

Comments
There is a huge connection between the Saudi's and the Republican Party. And instead of going into Alaska (this could not be done for environmental reasons), Hawkish promoted the idea to go into Iraq. Iraq has the second best supply of oil after Saudi. The situation is Saudi is very precarious and unstable. Great the country has had elections and other improvements but unless a pro-American government was established there would be no chance of getting the oil. If you look at his earlier on the spot interviews when the military went into the country, he would first mention the "safety of the oil refineries" - quite evidently the first priority. Roger Diwan, Petroleum Analyst talked at length about the need to go into Iraq before it happened.
Two months after 9/11 I ran into my supervisors boss at that time and officer in the military said to me that there were plans not to stop at Afghanistan and that there were "certain others that needed to be dealt with" and winked at me before he left...so this invasion needed to happen not because of WMDs but oil.
"The Minutemen volunteers" have even be described by Bush as a "group of Viglantees. Evidence does show that their success is unfounded and that recent increases in funding for the police, the movement of illegal immigration to other areas and other factors have contribued to the decline.
Sure the Democratic Party has been a mess in recent years but there are certain people who are doing an excellent job. To lump some of these groups together is still inappropriate; the ideas are not elitest to say the least.
No-one should blindly follow any administration at any cost; it is vital to speak out and have the freedom to point those matters out. If not, then we have created a dictarship that can do what it wants to others. Rather than disparaging the liberals, perhaps it is best to take their points and counter act them.
My two cents worth ;-)

Maryam, I don't know who you are but thank you for the compliment. I am touched. I shy away from speaking my mind for a variety of reasons. Most importantly I wanted to thank Indi who is not afraid of posting different viewpoints on his site or scaring people off if they have a differing opinion.
Inas, thank you so much for the link. I will be looking into it and forwarding it to my writer friends.
