...and if he's right.....

well-I guess we will see.

I would not trust a Democrat to run this country- ever. Especially the left of left- sell our country out.

As if that hasn't already been done by this administration.

Things keep going the way they are, there won't be anything left to sell.

McKinney is claiming "voting irregularities" such as her name not being on ballots and votes cast for her on electronic machines erroneously going to her opponent or not counting at all.

This woman is beyond psychotic.

Oh my God! Shock of all shocks! Ann Coulter is a big (insert word here) liar!

Media Matters decided to actually check the endnotes in her new book.

Here's an example of what they found:

Quote:

On Page 175, Coulter attacked "liberals" who would "foist" sex education topics such as "[a]nal sex, oral sex, fisting, dental dams, [and] 'birthing games'" on kindergarteners. Citing a November 8, 1987, New York Times article, Coulter wrote:

But in contrast to liberal preachiness about IQ, there would be no moralizing when it came to sex. Anal sex, oral sex, fisting, dental dams, "birthing games" -- all that would be foisted on unsuspecting children in order to protect kindergarteners from the scourge of AIDS. As one heroine of the sex education movement told an approving New York Times reporter, "My job is not to teach one right value system. Parents and churches teach moral values. My job is to say, 'These are the facts,' and to help the students, as adults, decide what is right for them."9

To those who find it odd that Coulter would support her claim about "fisting" being taught to kindergarteners by quoting "one heroine of the sex education movement" and referring to students as "adults," there is a very good reason for that. The woman Coulter quoted was Dr. Beverlie Conant Sloane, then-director of health education at Dartmouth College. The Times article cited by Coulter, titled "At Dartmouth, A Helping Candor," (subscription required) was about the sex education programs available to adult students at Dartmouth -- not children in kindergarten. Not only is the article about adult students, but it is from November 1987, close to 20 years old -- hardly what would be considered to be relevant information on current sex education policies.

I can't believe it! Why would she knowingly lie?

I just love stuff like this.

Gore's not so green

Hypocrisy is omnipresent in the political community, no doubt. But for someone who crusades as he does, wouldn't his apocolyptic viewpoints have greater credibility if he were to actually do some rather obvious things in his own life?

Gore is just an example of someone who expects everyone else to change how they live, but is unwilling to give up his extravagances. I do not begrudge anyone their extravagances or wealth, but stop telling me that my SUV (figurative - I don't actually own an SUV) is going to kill the planet while you heat and cool a 10000 square foot home (among other things).

All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

As the great Civil War General James Longstreet once said; "You can't lead from behind".

If Gore wants us to follow him, he better get out in front to lead the charge!
