The radical environmentalist who held hostages at the Discovery Channel yesterday was inspired by Al Gore and his book Inconvenient Truth. The story will die quickly.
What if he had been inspired by Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin? How do you think the incident would have been covered?

What happened on Saturday at Glenn Beck’s rally about returning honor to the Nation was a significant event. It was the first time that the mall was filled by hundreds of thousands of people without a president or a preacher present/headlining. It has already been lied about by the media. One example was from my hometown newspaper, “Bristol Herald Courier” whose headline was “Traditional values? Pundit preaches to sea of lily white faces”. I have canceled this worthless liberal rag and will urge all who read this to do the same if their newspaper printed anything like this.
Why was it significant and why is the liberal media trying to portray it as a failure, or farce, or worse: Racist? It is because of the powerful message that was delivered, not necessarily by Glenn or even Sarah Palin. The power was shown by the people who showed up to honor the country’s past and to illuminate the power of Christians. The partial quote in the above headline is a promise to our great country, which has turned it’s back on Christianity. It is the most powerful message Christians and Jews can give and the damage it will do to liberalism is beyond ours (and their) comprehension, but they know instinctively that it is not good for them. Therefore, expect a twenty four hour, seven day a week condemnation of this great event, because they know it marks the beginning of the end of progressivism in this country.
Expect more of them in cities, towns and communities around the country. It is time to return to our traditional values, the chief among them Christianity and the moral codes it purveys. The time will never be better. The past two years marked the progressives only chance to achieve what it has been working for the past 70 years: Eliminate Christianity, destroy families, bankrupt the country and destroy the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Now the vast majority of America realizes the mistakes it has made by allowing this onslaught to continue and have awakened to the faith that made this country great.
A great tidal wave has started. It will not be stopped by the failed government, Liberalism (Progressivism), communism or any other ism. Once we look on His face and ask for forgiveness, our land will be healed and all those who hate it will be destroyed. We are promised by The One who created us that He will heal us and make this country whole again.
Good For Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin. Onward Christian Soldiers. The march has begun and Victory is assured.
Or in this case, gird your allies in positive imagery and buzz saw your opposition at the same time. –
Beck is attacking the enemy at the foundations of their power, their claim to race as a permanent trump card, their claim to the Civil Rights movement as a permanent model to constantly be transforming a perpetually unjust society.
He is nuking out the foundations of the opposition’s moral preeminence, the very thing I proposed in this post.
Ronald Reagan said we would not defeat Communism, we would transcend it.
Beck is aiming to have America do the same thing to its decaying class of Overlords, transcend them.
Beck is prepping the battlefield for a generation-long battle.
He is that very American thing: A practical visionary.
See, simple.
If this is truly his long term goal he laid the cornerstone this past Saturday. Should other events follow that under mine the Al Sharpton’s of the world then the very idea that the Liberals have a chance is gone. One thing that our Liberals have not been able to rip out of us yet — we hate being losers.
Four years ago amid great fanfare and one of the most aggressive marketing campaigns ever to introducea new anchor, Katie Couric took the stage at the deck of CBS Evening News. Network executives hoped that Couric could revive what was once the most watched evening newscast, believing Couric could restore the ratings and make CBS Evening News the leader it was in the 1960s.
Couric’s presence has had just the opposite effect – CBS Evening News not only remained last, but became an even more distant third. All network newscasts are declining, but not at the rate of CBS. During some weeks this summer CBS has averaged less than 5 million viewers a night. Paying Couric $14 million a year has been like spending $14 million on an outfielder who bats .125, has no power and a bad arm.
CBS is looking for answers, but hasn’t found any. It’s not the fact that Couric is a female because Diane Sawyer became anchor at ABC after Charles Gibson took up full-time residency at the Senior Center and there was little, if any, effect on ratings.
There is an answer, but it’s not the one CBS executives are looking for: hire a conservative anchor and more conservative reporters and producers to balance out its coverage. By doing so, CBS News could distinguish itself from its two major competitors. But, the folks at CBS would rather drink battery acid first.
Since CBS would move to the right or even the “mushy” middle, there’s little to do other than sit back, grab some popcorn and a cold beer and watch its news department implode with more layoffs and reduced coverage.
In the Daily Beast, Rebecca Dana takes an in-depth look at CBS News and its many problems. It makes for interesting reading:
On Monday, Katie Couric begins her fifth, and quite possibly final, year of hard labor as anchor of the CBS Evening News.
However she chooses to mark the occasion, it will no doubt be more subdued than the tears, dancing, and $10 million promotional campaign that attended her debut on Sept. 5, 2006.
Four years and a reported $60 million later, Couric now sits atop a news division that is in many ways unrecognizable as the one-time home of Walter Cronkite—or even the deep-pocketed, star-struck company that lured Couric to Cronkite’s vacant chair with promises of wealth, fame, and a place in history.
In the intervening years, Couric has achieved all those things. She’s accumulated prizes for her work and thrown herself into tweeting, blogging, and anchoring special broadcasts on CBSNews.com. It hasn’t always been a smooth road. After a strong start, the CBS Evening News ratings dropped dramatically in the early years of her tenure, culminating in talks between her agent and CBS executives about the anchor leaving before the end of her contract. But Couric rebounded during the 2008 presidential campaign, securing her place at the network and in history books with a series of triumphant interviews with vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. In 2008 and 2009, the CBS Evening News won the Edward R. Murrow award for best newscast.
But even as Couric and her team racked up plaudits, CBS News has withered. Layoffs and cutbacks, the most recent in February, have trimmed the division close to the bone, and according to senior staffers, another round is coming this fall. The network’s two premier daily broadcasts, Couric’s Evening News and the CBS Early Show, are recording particularly dismal ratings this summer.
“These are tough times for everyone,” Couric said in a statement provided through her spokesman, “but I for one am proud to be working with so many talented, dedicated people who continue to work hard to maintain the highest journalistic standards that have always been associated with CBS News.”

“You try being perky at my age.”
The 2010 primary season is rapidly drawing to a close. On September 14 voters in seven states and the District of Columbia go to the polls. Some of the September 14 results appear to be pre-determined. For example, Kelly Ayotte leads her closest Republican opponent (a millionaire RINO named Bill Binnie) by 33 points in New Hampshire.
The one race that is gathering interest following Alaska’s “Miracle on Ice” is in Delaware, where conservative challenger Christine O’Donnell takes on long-time RINO Mike Castle. The similarities between Alaska and Delaware are striking. Like Murkowski, Castle is a pro-abortion Catholic, a “moderate” with a reputation for reaching across the aisle” and is backed by the national and state GOP leadership and big monied interests. Like Miller, O’Donnell is strongly pro-life, largely unknown and has been running a shoestring campaign until the Tea Party Express came riding to her rescue.
The biggest difference is that Castle is so liberal he makes Murkowski look like Ronald Reagan. An 18-year member of the House, Castle is known as one of the most liberal Republicans in Congress. In fact, in 2008 Castle has an ACU rating of just 28, making him the most liberal Republican in the House and just above the “Dingbat Twins” from Maine.
As with Murkowski, the GOP establishment and monied interests have aligned themselves with Castle. Feeling its oats after Joe Miller’s victory, the Tea Party Express is now throwing its full weight behind Christine O’Donnell in an effort to defeat Castle. All we need is the Wicked Witch of the North to fly down on her broomstick and endorse Christine.
Is there room for one more miracle in the 2010 primary season? Two weeks from today we will know the answer.
The fast approaching date for the Delaware Republican primary is Tuesday September, 14th. The choice before the voters could not be more stark. Nor could it be more momentous. On this day, the choice of a senate nominee will be made between a dynamic, young committed conservative and a cynical old liberal career politician. This little noticed primary has implications far beyond the borders of the First State.
Who shall represent us? What qualifies one to be senator? Unlike her liberal Republican opponent, Christine O’Donnell is not a career politician. In contrast to Mike Castle, she has not spent the past forty years living off the taxpayers and accumulating an estimated $8 million in personal net worth as a “public servant.” Unlike Mr. Castle, she has not received $3 million in corporate campaign donations this election cycle alone. And unlike him, she did not bankrupt the country in order to fund TARP.
Therefore, unlike Mike Castle, she has not received substantial kicked backcampaign contributions from these sameTARP recipients. While the average American, of which Christine O’Donnell is one, has struggled under the burdensome economic disaster brought on by irresponsible liberal policies, Mr. Castle has directly benefitted from them.
Christine O’Donnell describes herself as a “citizen politician” and one who is committed to the “politics of principle over the politics of power.” She has earned her living in marketing and in political consulting. In this capacity, she has been committed to, and active in, the conservative movement since the 1980’s. In contradistinction to her opponent, who could be described as a poster boy for “the culture of death,” Christine is unapologetically pro life. If one were tempted to believe that Christine is simply another political wannabe, one only needs to listen to her boldly field questions concerning the third rail issue of abortion. The way in which a politician handles this issue reveals, more than any other, the character of the candidate. You will never hear Christine utter the nauseating platitude of being “personally opposed” etc. In addition to this stance, Ms. O’Donnell is committed to the Second Amendment. In this regard as well, the contrast with her opponent, who has received an F- rating from The NRA, could not be more clear. She has been vigorously opposed to the recent and unprecedented growth of government and assaults upon the free market. Voters can compare these positions with the record of Mike Castle. In his capacity as governor and the sole member of congress from Delaware, Mr. Castle has supported virtually every tax increase he has had the opportunity to vote upon. Besides voting for TARP, Mr. Castle supported Cash for Clunkers, the failed Pelosi economic stimulus packages, and the government take overs of the auto and banking industries.
Here’s Christine’s website if you have $25 or $50 burning a hole in your wallet.

The establishment is solidly behind Castle. Let’s support Christine. Yes, she’s a dog but support her any way.
In its fervent crusade to befriend Muslims, the White House will host special workshops this week to provide members of radical Islamic groups with direct access to U.S. government funding, assistance and resources.
While this may sound surreal, it’s reality in the Obama Administration, which has embarked on a never-ending mission to befriend the enemy. Previous efforts include secret meetings between Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and extremist Arab and Muslim groups to discuss national security matters and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s special order allowing the reentry of two radical Islamic academics whose terrorist ties have for years banned them from the U.S.
As contemptible as those moves may seem, the latest effort is even more outrageous. Various government agencies, including the departments of Homeland Security, Agriculture, Education and Health will participate in the White House seminars which were exposed by an independent nonprofit dedicated to monitoring the nation’s security.
The goal is to provide the leaders of groups associated with the parent organization of Hamas and Al Qaeda (Muslim Brotherhood) with tips on cutting through “red tape” when seeking U.S. government access or money. In all 20 national Muslim groups with ties to the global Islamist organization that preaches Jihad are scheduled to participate. Their mission is to obtain cash and other resources from Uncle Sam.
While the U.S. government has kept the event quiet, it was announced in a newsletter by a Saudi-funded group (Islamic Society of North America or ISNA) that was a co-conspirator in a federal terrorist funding case a few years ago. Featured in a Judicial Watch special report on Muslim charities that finance terrorism, ISNA is firmly committed to spreading the radical form of Islam, which is the driving force behind Jihad.
Now the Obama Administration is helping ISNA and its radical Islamic counterparts access American taxpayer resources as well as top government officials.
