What are the Democrats really seeking with their "time to internationalize" statements? First of all, they know that rank-and-file Americans aren't really aware of the level at which countries like Spain, Argentina, Italy and, of course, Britain are already participating. They pander to this ignorance with their "internationalize now" comments. Secondly, the Democrats want an increased role for the disgraced United Nations. The UN failed to enforce 12 years of sanctions against Hussein. The UN sat and did virtually nothing while Hussein murdered and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of his own people. The UN cut and ran as soon as Saddam's insurgents fired a few rocket propelled grenades in their direction. Now the Democrats want the UN to step in and take over Iraq's reconstruction. These are American politicians who have been working for years to surrender American sovereignty -- a bit here, a bit there -- to the United Nations and to various international tribunals such as the UN World Court and the new and very frightening international criminal court.

Oh ... and let's mention Howard Dean yesterday. He says that the capture of Saddam Hussein has not made America any safer. We now know for a certainty that Howard Dean is a fool. He has eliminated all doubt. Here is a man who wants to be the president of the United States who believes that America would be just as safe if Saddam were still free as it is with Saddam in custody. He may be a fine doctor ... don't know. But with that statement Howard Dean has proved himself to be spectacularly unprepared and incapable.

Since I am member of Columbia House DVD club, I got an interesting phone call the other day. It was a phone survey and they asked if I would participate. Since BattleStar Gallactica wasn't on yet, I said sure.

The questions were normal, "How many DVDs have you bought within the last 3 months?", "Will you purchase new release DVDs within the next 3 months?" and so forth.

Near the end of the survey, the guy asked a question that perked my ears up, "Have you ever downloaded movies from the Internet?" WTF!!?? HUH??

I tried to get the guy to rephrase the question. Do you mean IBM commercial/movies? BMW short films? Movies from iFilm? I answered yes because techinically I have downloaded those films from the Internet. But the question still remains is why they were asking it in the first place.

Now we hear today that the ex head of the ATF is now in charge of the anti-piracy divison of the RIAA. Are we going to start seeing Waco type events for music and movie downloaders?

These quotes are from the random thoughts section of Neil Boortz. I just love this guy. Even though he is a Libertarian, he hits the head of the ball everytime.

"For those of you who think that Islamic Terrorism is the greatest threat to our country ... you're wrong. The greatest threat to the continuation of freedom and economic liberty in the United States right now is Hillary Clinton.

Liberals hate competition. The competitive spirit leads to individual accomplishments and excellence. Competition is, at its core, an individualistic enterprise. The hatred of competition goes hand-in-hand with the left's war on individuality.

One of my favorite quotes of all time, from Joseph Sobran: "Politicians never accuse you of 'greed' for wanting other people's money --- only for wanting to keep your own money."

In a later clip, President Bush is shown pointing out that his opponents want to wait until the terrorist threat to us is imminent before taking action. They would prefer to retreat and put our national security in the hands of others, he says. A graphic then encourages people to support President Bush's policy of preemptive self-defense.

Democrats, including Senator Tom Daschle, started screaming bloody murder about the unfairness of the ad. You see, it's OK for Democrats to lie about Republicans wanting to starve schoolchildren, but it's wrong for Republicans to tell the truth about the Democrats' policies of appeasement toward terrorists and nations supporting them.

Nothing is more legitimate than for Republicans to highlight their opponents' dangerous policies in the war on terror. Instead of withdrawing the ads, Republicans should produce dozens more and saturate the airwaves.

The moron of the day goes to the protestors trying to sue the Army for use of "noise tactics" and "psychological operation" during the annual protest of the School of the Americas.

Just what are these "psychological operations"? The Army played a tape of "God Bless America" and the "Army Song"

The protestors blame the school for human rights violations in Latin America (although the school moved from Panama 14 years ago).

Guess who is now trying to weasel himself into the Jackson case? Yeah, that pathetic has-been washed-up race warlord Jesse Jackson is speaking out. He's talking about an "invasion" of Michael Jackson's home, and claiming that the home was "ransacked." He called the police operation a "seize and destroy" operation. He even found a way to compare Michael Jackson's situation with that of Rush Limbaugh!

When is the media just going to let this weary discredited warlord go off somewhere to a well-deserved obscurity?

You ever notice when you post something political or reply to something political, you also get modded down to Flamebait or Troll. That tells me a lot about the people of /.

Man, it just disturbs me when some retard mods me to a 'Troll' when the post I make is pretty good and gets a lot of replies. I really think there are people out there who just wanna mod 'Troll' for the heck of it.

What an awesome game last night. Duncan with this triple double and David's supreme effort seeing how this is his last game.

I hope the world is watching because when OUR team wins we don't ransack and burn shit in our city. Its called R E S P E C T !

Watching my beloved Spurs tonight. Man, I hope they win. If anybody has been caught up in the game, you should know the Spurs go thru this stage where they give up, then next game they rock, suck, rock, suck, rock, etc... I just wish for ONE TIME they would play like the Lakers and show no mercy.

Answer me this, WHY did we win against the Lakers when we can't even beat the measily team of New Jersey?
