#1 "While the left and the feminists rail against Bush and the Bush doctrine, grave, terrible crimes against humanity go unpunished."

The demented Left have no problems at all with late term abortions muchless, care about "inhumanity" across the world. GOP is considered more cruel than OBL.

There is one bit of good news. I read an article in the WSJ that broadband users are watching less and less TV (idiot box). As prices of broadband come down, WSJ is expecting an explosion of broadband in homes. The more unfiltered news people get from WWW (especially blogs), the more aware people become, of world atrocities. Links like this is not possible without unfiltered news which is why the Demoncats want the courts, FTC, and FCC to control web content. This is a losing battle for the Demons, yet they still keep walking into traffic without looking both ways. The blogger on this link wants people to become more aware, well an explosion of broadband is a start.

You want true compassion then, MSM must be destroyed without prejudice. Broadband is a start.


Not to change topics but:
**My wife is having thorasic (rib extraction) surgery, this morning. Jews and Christians at RB, please pray for my wife. Thanks!!**

#2 Why not prayers to Allan, PR? You afraid your wife would come back in a burka? Seriously, I just sent up a prayer for her...keep us updated.

Back to topic, I think this is spot on. I've personally turned off the idiot box (at least for News, with the exception of Fox News, and I'm even getting sick of them...Aruba 24/7). As broadband (and even area wide wireless networks) come down in price, the news will get out. Just think of all the "news" the MSM has been smacked down on in the past year or two (that they would've gotten away with, just 5 years ago)...abu Gharib 24/7; Dan Rather on Bush's Air Reserve "story"/fake but true; beheadings by the jihadis being covered up; and the "good news" reports that somehow don't make it to press, but you can easily find online; etc. You'll always have your diehard MSM fans, but just look at how Fox News is kicking CNN/MSNBC's arse! I'll always favor Rantburg as my news source, though. Thanks Fred!

#6 Yeah, I was wondering when somebody would comment on Atlas's non-cerebral assets. Icing on the cake, in my view.

#7 OT, but...I am currently in MSM "rehab" having canceled my lifelong addiction to taking a daily newspaper (Chicago Tribune most recently) 2 months ago.
My first news scan of the day is Rantburg. Fox News has to answer to advertisers to be available to us, so they are forced to at least address the next big story- however I give them credit for at least packaging up detailed coverage into predictable slots- Greta's etc.
Unfettered access to world events is the strength of this blog.
By the way, I am still mildly suprized that canceling my subcription to the Chicago Tribune after 16 consequtive years didn't generate at least a simple phone call from someone in that organization as to the reasons I wrote "cancel" on my invoice.

#8 BA,

Thank you for the prayer. Just got back from the hospital. The surgery was successful and she is in recovery.

Thank you, Jesus, that everything went well. I prayed, "Jesus use the medical staff as your instruments, and I want you to do the surgery."

The ironic thing is that she is going to medical school next year to eventually become a cardio-thorasic surgeon. I guess she will be telling her future patients, "not only am I a surgeon, I was also a patient so trust me, I really know how you feel"

Capsu78,

"didn't generate at least a simple phone call from someone in that organization"

I know excatly how you feel. I donate to different Jewish and Christian ministries/charities around the country. But, I sent an email to the Joel Osteen "Lakewood Church" asking for a physical address so I can send some money. You wouldn't believe the response. The reply, didn't have the words "thank you", "thank you for wanting to be a partner," or even any other kind words. The ONLY thing on the email body was the address. I know that's what I asked for but, the empty response was out of line. I send my money to another ministry.

#9 Proison Reverse, I'm glad your wife came through the surgery well. Here's hoping for a rapid and relatively pain free recovery. And best of luck to you both for the progress of her medical career!

#12 Thanks, everyone for the kind words.

My kids and I are going to the hospital to spend time with my wife. There are so many tempting articles I want to comment on but I will have to put fingers in sleep mode for tonight.

tw,

Did you get my instructions yesterday on html bullet points? Here you go just in case.

--Copy and paste this (li class="MsoNormal" style="") to the RB comment window. Don't use the parentheses. BUT add "<" right before "li" and ">" right after second quotation mark This will give you your bullet point. Add a space after the second greater that sign and type your text.

For example, this how it would look like with 3 bullet points.

  • Allah Akbar!
  • Allah Akbar!
  • Rosebud
