Phrases like "Must bomb back," "Foreign-born Americans afraid." and "Erroneous U.S. air strike kills 46 Uruzgan civilians," appear on the memorial. There are other phrases that seem to place the onus for the attacks on the US and these phrases have angered Arizonans since the day this abomination was unveiled. </p> <p>Well it has taken two years, but the state legislature in Arizona has finally gotten around to begin to rectify the outrage. The <a href="http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/0403memorial0403.html">Arizona Republic reports</a> that the Arizona House voted to alter the 9/11 memorial this month. </p> <p>Unfortunately, we ended up with another example of why Democrats cannot be trusted with our security as well as why it is a good assumption that most Democrats hate their own country. The Republic reports that the vote was practically a party line vote at 32 in favor to 26. </p> <p>But, the fight isn't over. Many who favor the anti-military and anti-American aspects of the "memorial" are vowing to fight to preserve their vision. </p> <blockquote> <p>"I don't see how anyone can say this bill will actually end the controversy," said Rep. Steve Farley, a Tucson Democrat who argued against Kavanagh's measure. "This is just the tip of the iceberg." </p> </blockquote> <p>Democrats in Arizona government are fighting to keep the blame for 9/11 on the USA and the anti-US rhetoric on the "memorial." Democrat Gov. Janet Napolitano once called the "memorial" an "impressive and meaningful" addition to the Arizona landscape. </p> <p>But, there is hope that the hateful rhetoric inscribed into the "memorial" will be eliminated and replaced with more appropriate language. As the Arizona Republic reported the reaction of Rep. Bob Stump, a Peoria Republican, "The memorial as it now stands shows how far the roots of moral relativism have now spread." </p> <p>The fight isn't over as the bill heads to the Arizona Senate for its consideration. But, so far the movement is in the right direction. </p> <p>Here as some examples of the sort of inscriptions in question. </p> <p><img height="182" hspace="0" src="http://neveryetmelted.com/wp-images/ARIZ2.jpg" width="275" align="center" border="0" /></p> <p><img height="175" hspace="0" src="http://neveryetmelted.com/wp-images/ARIZ3.jpg" width="275" align=" center " border="0" /></p> <p><img height="179" hspace="0" src="http://neveryetmelted.com/wp-images/ARIZ1.jpg" width="275" align=" center " border="0" /></p> <p><img height="247" hspace="0" src="http://sixmeatbuffet.com/images/az-9-11-3.jpg" width="290" align=" center " border="0" /></p> <p> (Photo Credit- <a href="http://neveryetmelted.com/">Neveryetmelted.com</a> and <a href="http://sixmeatbuffet.com/">sixmeatbuffet.com</a>.)</p> http://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/04/06/arizona-monument-that-blames-america-for-911-gets-facelift.aspx#Comments9326994d-e41a-4168-8bfd-cdc0da4b9734Sun, 06 Apr 2008 15:06:08 GMThttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/04/05/thompson-visiting-mccain-this-weekend-so-what.aspxWarner Todd Huston <b>-By Warner Todd Huston</b></p> <p><img vspace="10" hspace="10" border="0" align="left" src="http://conservablogs.com/publiusforum/wp-content/themes/art/mccain_thompson_gopdebate.gif" />MSNBC is reporting that <a href="http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/05/863020.aspx">Fred Thompson is visiting John McCain</a> in Arizona this weekend. </p> <blockquote> <p>From NBC/NJ's Carrie Dann and Adam Aigner-Treworgy</p> <p>NBC and National Journal have learned that former presidential candidate Fred Thompson is visiting GOP nominee John McCain at McCain's Arizona cabin in Sedona this weekend. </p> <p>No word of what's been discussed, although a source with knowledge of the visit says that the purpose may be more of a relaxing weekend getaway than a business meeting. (The two men have been longtime personal friends, even during their overlapping presidential bids.) </p> </blockquote> <p>Now let's make short work of this meaningless bit of news. There is zero chance that McCain will pick Fred for VP, so get it right out of your heads. People are already saying that McCain is too old to be president and there is some validity to the point. But, Fred is too old for VP if you want to claim that McCain is too old for president! An old Fred isn't going to offset the worry that McCain himself is too old. </p> <p>Besides, Fred Thompson is too conservative for John McCain. I maintain that McCain will continue to contemptuously take conservatives for granted and that his VP pick will end up being a so-called moderate Republican — NOT a conservative. </p> <p>After McCain picks his liberal VP he’ll then claim that HE is the conservative candidate of the pair. Then he will continue to ignore conservatives… in fact will go out of his way to prove he is NOT one of them… and he will aim squarely for the conservative Democrats and independents. They have been his base all along and he won’t forsake the liberals now. </p> <p>Now, as to why Fred is going there? Just to show support, get a little news out that the conservative Fred is still pals with McCain… it’s all to keep in the news and has little to do with Fred having anything to do with the campaign much less becoming the VP pick. They may be discussing a few appearances together, but that is about it. </p> <p>So, look at this report of Thompson visiting McCain as meaningless news.</p>http://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/04/05/thompson-visiting-mccain-this-weekend-so-what.aspx#Comments701d80f6-4fb3-4a32-973f-c342c19b8e56Sat, 05 Apr 2008 16:24:11 GMThttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/04/01/chris-hackett-a-conservative-we-need-in-pennsylvania-10th-district.aspxWarner Todd Huston<b>-By Warner Todd Huston</b></p> <p><img height="219" hspace="0" src="http://www.slatecard.com/images/candidates/ChrisHackettPA.jpg" width="136" align="right" border="0" />I know what you're thinking..."I don't live in Pennsylvania, so why should I care about a Congressional race there?" That really is a good question. Here is the answer: because our enemy does.</p> <p>Here is the thing, the left does not only worry about their own individual races. A liberal in New York does not ignore a Congressional race in New Hampshire. A socialist in Georgia does not turn in disinterest from a race in Pennsylvania. They concern themselves with Congressional races all across the country. </p> <p>We should, too. If we stay so parochial that we don't bother supporting and rooting for conservative Congressional candidates from other states than the one in which we live, we are ceding the great battle ground to the left who WILL organize and support candidates from other areas.</p> <p>So, along those lines I'd like to introduce you all to <a href="http://www.chrishackettforcongress.com/Home.html">Chris Hackett</a> who is running for Congress in Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District. Chris <a href="http://www.nrcc.org/news/view_article.asp?id=507">announced his run for the seat last August</a>.</p> <p>Chris is intensely interested in budget cutting measures and anti-pork. Chris is an entrepreneur and owns SHS TechStaffing, a recruiting and temp staffing service, so he knows what it means to have a budget and hold to it.</p> <p>The great conservative site <a href="http://www.redstate.com/stories/elections/2008/redstate_endorses_chris_hackett_for_congress">RedState.com</a> is endorsing him and I hope all of you talk a little about him on your blogs and encourage folks to send a little campaign money his way.</p> <p>Now, we also have another reason as conservatives to support Chris Hackett. The establishment of the GOP (Yes those idiots that gave us Arlen Spector!) are supporting another GOP candidates whose only qualifications are that he is rich. They are supporting a guy named Dan Meuser. Meuser is no conservative and does not represent the constituency of the 10th District nearly as well as Hackett. We need to be sure and <i>encourage</i> old Danny boy to take a hike.</p> <p>For some more details on the District and the situation there, <a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/02/mining_for_seats_in_pennsylvan.html">Real Clear Politics</a> has a great piece.</p> <p>The RCP article reveals some interesting campaign money facts:</p> <blockquote> <p>At the end of December, Meuser showed more than $650,000 raised, but almost 40 percent of that figure came from his own pocket. Hackett had raised $470,000, but one-third of that was his own money. In contrast, Carney had raised almost $1 million, ending the year with $760,000 in the bank and no debt.</p> </blockquote> <p>So, now you see what I mean about drumming up donations to Hackett's campaign and how they are desperately needed.

The short lived mission was active only a few months ending on Sept. 1 of 2003. </p> <p>Now the Swedish military is accusing the French of torturing those whom they were supposed to be protecting. </p> <blockquote> <p>According to the Swedish television news magazine Uppdrag Granskning, Swedish soldiers observed their French compatriots as they tortured a Congolese man in civilian clothes for hours, allegedly beating and strangling him. According to the report, the episode didn't end until the Swedish soldiers went to the French commander. </p> </blockquote> <p>Now, we can certainly look to France to investigate this incident and, if found to be true, we should expect them to prosecute these soldiers. But, I want to caution Americans from pointing to this with triumphalism. </p> <p>We have to wonder why it has taken from 2003 to 2007 to report this torture claim? Second and most importantly, we cannot point at the “French” and say that “they” torture. This sort of behavior is not a French military policy and was likely just the actions of single soldiers. Even if a local French commander either encouraged or simply looked the other way while these things were occurring (if they really did) we cannot claim that it was any sort of official policy to the point where we can say “the French torture.” Any more than we can say with factual confidence that the U.S. military had any sort of policies that would have sanctioned the foolishness in Abu Ghraib. </p> <p>And, going back to the question of why it has taken so long for all this to come out? Let us remember here that France is now being led by one considered an American loving, conservative. Is this an effort to discredit France merely because of her new president? After all, why did the Swedes not bring this up when Jacques Chirac was president but months ago and for almost the entire of the time between 2003 and today, at that? </p> <p>These are questions that need to be answered as we assess the validity of these claims. </p> <p>Still, even if true, we must not tar the entire of the French military, government and people with the torture brush. It was illegitimate to claim that the entirety of the US government was said to be torturers because of the actions of folks in the lower ranks that are not responsible for setting US policy. Much as I despise the things France has done to the USA since the 1800 Pseudo War, we must not do the same to France that was done to the US. </p> <p>There is no proof that the French military are torturers any more than is the US military. </p> http://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/29/did-french-soldiers-torture-congolese-citizens.aspx#Comments307aae19-1a48-4647-a8d1-885e4fe72a53Sat, 29 Mar 2008 20:29:48 GMThttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/27/latimes--dan-ratherlike-forged-documents-in-rapper-attack-story.aspxWarner Todd Huston<b>-By Warner Todd Huston</b></p> <p><img height="155" hspace="0" src="http://a.abcnews.com/images/US/tupacdiddy_080326_ms.jpg" width="206" align="right" border="0" />It looks like the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-me-tupac27mar27,0,2043351.story">L.A.Times has had to apologize</a> for a false story they published last week that implicated rapper Sean"Diddy" Combs in a 1994 assault on Tupac Shakur during a so-called rapper's war hit. The L.A. Times had to do an internal investigation when the website <a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/0325081sabatino1.html">The Smoking Gun</a> published an account detailing that the documents the L.A.Times used to base their story upon were forged and that the person who forged them was a well known con man on the rap music scene who pulled one over on the LAT -- big time!</p> <p>Yeah, the L.A.Times has an awful lot of egg on its face with this mess. The <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=4528421">AP reports</a> that TSG's proof makes the LAT look like a bunch of bumbling idiots.</p> <blockquote> <p>The Smoking Gun said the documents seemed phony because they appeared to be written on a typewriter instead of a computer, included blacked-out sections not typically found in such documents, and other reasons. The Smoking Gun story claims the documents were created by a convicted con man and music fan with a history of exaggerating his place in the rap music world.</p> </blockquote> <p>Originally the LAT claimed their story was based on FBI records, interviews with people who were there at the time, and some FBI informants. Curiously enough, none of the sources were named in the LAT story, the whole thing being based on the ever famous, journalist's best source, the "unnamed sources." Naturally Sean "Diddy" Combs denied he had any part in the attacks on Shakur and it's no wonder he'd say that because the LAT piece was full of puff, Daddy. Yeeh. Uh.</p> <p>Now, let's admit that Publius' Forum isn't the Rapper's paradise it could be. If only we'd wear our pants a little lower and get some more gold plating on our teeth we'd be sure to be right in with the best rap fans across the country. I'd have to also admit that it might be a bit tough for the bulk of us to lower our IQs low enough to be <i>for real</i> fans, but we all could try a little harder, couldn't we, G?</p> <p>Still, seeing as how we Publius' Forum "ain't all dat," you might wonder why this story is appearing on our site? Well, dawg, that'd be a good question... so I won't be frontin' ya, an all.</p> <p>The main point of this story is that the LAT really dropped the ball here. TSG had a very extensive report revealing how badly the Times did on this one and it forced the LAT to admit their "mistake" (read shoddy journalism there). It certainly leads one to wonder how many other stories they've published in the past are as badly researched and sourced as this one?</p> <p>Now, while we here on Publius' Forum lament the loss of stature that this story might cause the LAT in particular and the MSM in general, we can't help harkening back to a little story about president Bush's Nat'l Guard service that Dan Rather tried to foist on the American public that also turned out to be based on <a href="http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/007760.php">forged documents</a>.</p> <p>That CBS report was widely discredited by just about everyone, too. I have to say, though, that I don't quite recall Dan Rather's big apology on that one. So, apparently the L.A.Times is all prepared to apologize to some thug rappers for a story based on forged documents, but the president gets bupkis from a forged document story that defamed him.</p> <p>I'm juss sayin'. Ya know what I'm sayin', dawg?</p> http://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/27/latimes--dan-ratherlike-forged-documents-in-rapper-attack-story.aspx#Comments3ce42a06-4e0b-44bb-91ab-19c0ee37f94cThu, 27 Mar 2008 16:05:22 GMThttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/24/obamas-church-printed-hamas-supporting-article-in-newsletter.aspxWarner Todd Huston<b>-By Warner Todd Huston</b> <p><img src="http://www.foxnews.com/images/312103/1_61_obama_wright.jpg" align="right" border="0" height="120" hspace="0" width="160" />On Sunday, <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0308/Obama_This_is_not_a_crackpot_church.html">Ben Smith of the Politico</a> reported that Barack Obama told radio talker Michael Smerconish that he felt his church was not a "crackpot church."</p> <blockquote> <p>"I will be honest with you that I didn’t have that many conversations with him over the last year just because I have been so busy. I haven't been going to church. I wasn’t hearing a lot of these comments. The ones that are most offensive are ones that I never knew about until they were reported on. I had had conversations with him in the past – in fact from the day I first met him -- about some of his views. Understand this, something else that has not been reported on enough is despite these very offensive views, this guy has built one of the finest churches in Chicago. This is not a crackpot church. "</p> </blockquote> <p>Yet, on the same day as the Politico report <a href="http://web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Politics/12732.htm">it was revealed</a> that back on July 22nd, 2007 Trinity United Church of Christ published in their church newsletter an pro-terror, anti-Jew article written by an official of the terrorist group Hamas.</p> <p>Obama was reportedly shocked that this happened.</p> <blockquote> <p>Sen. Barack Obama says that a pro-Hamas op-ed printed in his church's bulletin was "outrageously wrong." In an issue dated July 22, 2007, in a section titled "Pastor's Page," the Trinity United Church in Chicago reprinted an article by Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzook. The article, which originally appeared as an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times, justifies the Palestinian terrorist group's denial of Israel's right to exist. </p> </blockquote> <p>Not a "crackpot church," huh? It has a pastor that claims God should "Damn" America and it publishes anti-Jew, terror excusing articles in its own church newsletter and we are expected to believe that this isn't a "crackpot church"?</p> <p>I guess we shouldn't be surprised that as radical a leftist as Barack "the messiah" Obama is linked to a terror supporting, Jew hating, anti-American church as the Trinity United Church of christ, but it is a bit surprising that a supposed conservative like radio host Michael Smerconish is bending over backwards to excuse all this hatred and vitriol, isn't it?</p> <p>Smerconish seems to be more interested in making himself look "reasonable" than in searching for the truth with this issue. He is obviously one of those "conservatives" that is so hot to find an issue he can tout to show that he isn't a racist, that he is "reasonable," and that he is not like those other evil, mean conservatives, that truth doesn't matter at all.</p> <p>Plus it is a bit hard to take seriously Barack’s claim that he couldn’t have know what the very wrong Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Jr. was saying because he didn’t have any “conversations with him over the last year” just because he has “been so busy.” After all, Wrights comments about how the USA deserved the attacks on 9/11 did not come in just the last year, but were made back in 2001. There have been many such sermons and statements from Wright at least as far back as 2001 so Barack’s claims of surprise over Wright’s hatred can only be believed by a willing suspension of disbelief, if you’ll pardon my Hillaryism.</p> <p>Yes, whatever insincere agenda that Smerconish is enmeshed in, these two reports from the very same day makes Barack Obama out to be a liar when he says his church isn't radical, isn't a "crackpot church." It is a radical church filled with anti-white, anti-American, anti-Jew crackpots lead by a racist, loudmouthed hatemonger.</p> <p>There just isn't any gray area here. </p> http://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/24/obamas-church-printed-hamas-supporting-article-in-newsletter.aspx#Comments3b6925aa-fcfa-4313-a58c-5977e389d20aMon, 24 Mar 2008 16:32:06 GMThttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/24/reason-18-why-mrs-clinton-will-never-be-president--happy-easter-edition.aspxJohn McJunkinVOL podcast host John McJunkin offers reason number 18 Why Mrs. Clinton Will Never Be President.<br>podcastshttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/24/reason-18-why-mrs-clinton-will-never-be-president--happy-easter-edition.aspx#Comments01bfbe10-22ea-4942-95de-a63cc5ffff23Mon, 24 Mar 2008 00:06:03 GMTJohn McJunkinnono00:04:02http://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/24/the-next-obama-scandal.aspxJohn McJunkinTony Rezko . . .

Being the highly trained scientists that they are, Congress thought that by making rules supporting and promoting the use of CFL bulbs, they'd promote the kitschy ideas of forestalling global warming. Of course, the scariest words in the history of man are "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you," and this idiot move by Congress is no exception.</p> <p>In this case, the our government dolts thought that saving volts was better than worrying if the mercury inside the new CFL bulbs presented a contamination problem for anyone unfortunate enough to break one. It turns out that if someone were to drop and break one of these "earth saving" bulbs it would spread mercury contamination all over the house and special care must be taken to clean up the mess. Yes, the light bulbs that are supposed to save the world are poisonous to our health! (the EPA has published a 7 page instruction manual on cleaning up a broken CFL)</p> <p>Well, now we can give <a href="http://bachmann.house.gov/">Congresswoman Michele Bachmann</a> of Minnesota a pat on the back for attempting to repeal the stupidity of forcing Americans to switch over to these hazardous bulbs with a bill that will repeal the requirements to get rid of the old incandescent bulbs with the <strong>Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act</strong>. (<a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:H.R.5616:">H.R. 5616</a>)</p> <p>I hope everyone calls their Congressman and urges them to support this bill. Good job, Rep. Bachmann.</p> <p> <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23694819/">MSNBC</a> has given us the latest on the danger that these newfangled CFL light bulbs present.</p> <blockquote> <p>Compact fluorescent light bulbs, long touted by environmentalists as a more efficient and longer-lasting alternative to the incandescent bulbs that have lighted homes for more than a century, are running into resistance from waste industry officials and some environmental scientists, who warn that the bulbs’ poisonous innards pose a bigger threat to health and the environment than previously thought. </blockquote> <p>Remember, the government is only here to help!</p> http://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/20/unban-the-bulb.aspx#Comments5a79e6ef-4a11-4408-8e9e-a1aac65048e8Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:56:48 GMThttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/17/reason-17-why-mrs-clinton-will-never-be-president--happy-st-paddys-episode.aspxJohn McJunkinVOL host John McJunkin offers reason number 17 why Mrs. Clinton will never be president.<br>podcastshttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/17/reason-17-why-mrs-clinton-will-never-be-president--happy-st-paddys-episode.aspx#Comments1124b664-c0b1-42a3-a0df-ca1d0d1380d4Mon, 17 Mar 2008 12:18:38 GMTJohn McJunkinnono00:02:39http://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/17/spartans--the-living-document-lie.aspxJohn McJunkinThe Blue Collar Muse uses an apt analogy to expose the foolishness of the notion of our Constitution as a "living document."<br>podcastshttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/17/spartans--the-living-document-lie.aspx#Comments2bddfbe7-5727-4b15-8661-feaf1156d0abMon, 17 Mar 2008 12:18:38 GMTJohn McJunkinnono00:07:20http://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/17/whos-the-real-racist.aspxJohn McJunkin<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></span>Andrea Shea-King reveals the truth behind the recent flap over the resignation of Geraldine Ferraro from the campaign of Hillary Clinton.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><br>podcastshttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/17/whos-the-real-racist.aspx#Comments4efbd9ec-49d7-4456-bf01-d1b6cfb32decMon, 17 Mar 2008 12:18:38 GMTJohn McJunkinnono00:08:13http://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/17/union-vs-union.aspxJohn McJunkinWarner Todd Huston shares the delight in watching two labor unions beat each other up.<br>podcastshttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/17/union-vs-union.aspx#Commentsefb2294e-2cf5-46d3-83b3-3aa79e5adac1Mon, 17 Mar 2008 12:18:38 GMTJohn McJunkinnono00:09:11http://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/16/this-weeks-podlets.aspxJohn McJunkinThe podlets for the week of March 17th will be delayed just a bit (they're normally up at 12:00 AM Monday mornings.)&nbsp; This week they will be published by mid-day Monday.&nbsp; We apologize for any inconvenience this causes for you.&nbsp; Thanks for listening!<br>http://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/16/this-weeks-podlets.aspx#Comments9b1610ed-0be6-4978-9143-6e9830740231Sun, 16 Mar 2008 22:40:59 GMThttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/16/obamas-wright-more-trouble-than-mccains-hagee.aspxWarner Todd Huston<b>-By Warner Todd Huston</b></p> <p><img src="http://www.mg.co.za/ContentImages/293393/obama.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="10" vspace="10" />As you should know by now, Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama has a Wright problem. That would be a Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. problem. It turns out that Barack Obama's "spiritual mentor" has a long, long history of <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=4443788&page=1">hatred against whites and the history of the U.S.A.</a> But, late last week, news began to surface that one of John McCain's religious supporters, John Hagee, has made many <a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-graham/2008/03/15/have-networks-reported-mccains-anti-catholic-endorser">harsh anti-Catholic statements</a> in the past. </p> <p>As reports of Wright's disgusting, hate filled garbage has made the news earlier last week, many on the extreme left have pointed to the low profile that the McCain story has had as proof that the media is <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jane-hamsher/mccain-proud-of-endorse_b_89227.html">unfair</a>, intimating that the media might even be <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/04/catholic-media-figures-mu_n_89811.html">on McCain's side</a>.</p> <p>It is true that John Hagee has made bigoted statements against the Catholic Church. It is also utterly true that Jeremiah Wright has made racist, hateful statements against all whites and the history of this country. </p> <p>But, for the left to imagine that the situations in which McCain and Obama find themselves are exactly the same shows that leftists who think this are either uninformed or disingenuous. The situations are not in any way comparable. </p> <p>Before you even attempt to dismiss this as just another fawning excusing of the GOP candidate by a Republican apologist, I will inform you that I will not vote for John McCain under any circumstances. So, you cannot chalk this up to mere electoral partisanship. </p> <p>So, that said, there are major differences between McCain's endorsement by Hagee and Obama's endorsement by and 20 year long relationship Rev. Wright. </p> <p>The following points mark a stark difference between McCain/Hagee and Obama/Wright: </p> <ul> <li>In his book the <i>Audacity of Hope</i>, Barack Obama called Rev. Wright his <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/custom/religion/chi-wright_11feb11,1,6128527.story?track=rss">"spiritual mentor."</a> McCain has not made any such statement of Hagee. </li> <li>Obama had his children baptized by Rev. Wright. McCain's kids never knew Hagee when they were small. </li> <li>Rev. Wright performed Obama's marriage ceremony. McCain had never even met Hagee until he became the frontrunner for the GOP nomination. </li> <li>Obama chose Rev. Wright's church and attended it for 20 years. McCain has never attended Hagee's church. </li></ul> <p>These points are extremely important and mark a completely different relationship between the hatemonger Wright and Barack Obama and McCain and Hagee. It shows that Obama had many decades of intimacy with Rev. Wright proving that Wright's hate speech could not possibly have bothered Barack very much at all, much less have come as any surprise. While John McCain had only just met John Hagee proving that his history of anti-Catholic statements is not something that McCain could have had long and intimate contact with. </p> <p>Of course, both candidates have disavowed their religious supporter's statements. Obama made his statement via the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/barack-obama/on-my-faith-and-my-church_b_91623.html">Huffington Post</a> and McCain via the media <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080307/ap_on_el_pr/mccain">with a statement</a> to the Associated Press.</p> <p>But there is absolutely no way to equate McCain's acceptance of the anti-Catholic Hagee's support with that of Obama's acceptance of the racist Wright's. Obama has no excuse to have only suddenly distanced himself form this hate filled, ranter whom he has called his "spiritual mentor." For decades Obama has known of, and sat in a congregation listening to, the wild-eyed rants by this man. Barack has accepted him as part of his family closely associated with his wife and children. Barack Hussein Obama has been very close with Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. for 20 some years. </p> <p>On the other hand, John McCain has only just met John Hagee. </p> <p>You just cannot equate the two. </p> <p>So, no, American left. There is no favoritism, no bias to the right among the U.S. media for covering Obama's race baiting pastor more than they have covered McCain's anti-Catholic ranter. And it is simply because Hagee means but an endorsement of a campaign for McCain whereas Wright means an endorsement of an entire philosophy against the U.S.A. for Obama. </p> <p>Obama has had 20 years to repudiate Rev. Wright’s hatred and has only just now spoken up. It is impossible to believe that Obama only just now realized the hate that Wright preaches and we can only assume that Obama has <i>agreed</i> with Wright all this time and is only distancing himself from Wright now as a political expediency. </p> <p>And if the recent comments about her hatred of America by Obama’s wife Michelle is any indication, the entire Obama family holds the very same racist, anti-American thoughts as Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. </p> <p>So, the final word about any so-called bias to the right in this instance has to be made against the idea. If the media reported McCain’s story less it is naturally because the Obama story is by far the more explosive and consequential story.</p> http://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/16/obamas-wright-more-trouble-than-mccains-hagee.aspx#Commentse72bb882-619f-407f-8be8-2721ff10112dSun, 16 Mar 2008 12:14:41 GMThttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/13/a-liberal-i-can-respect.aspxChrista McJunkinMuch has been made of Geraldine Ferraro’s comments regarding where Barack Obama would be in this race if he was just another white guy.&nbsp; I think when the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120536677319031953.html?mod=djm_HAWSJSB_Welcome" target="_blank">Wall Street Journal</a> and <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2186324/" target="_blank">Mickey Kaus</a> both say you’re right, you’re probably on to something.&nbsp; A less reported, but no less fascinating comment made by Ferraro in her explanations to Diane Sawyer was highlighted over at <a href="http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NDc0Njc5MWVmNzNkZjExMjdkZWJhOGQzNTM0YWYyNTQ=" target="_blank">The Corner</a>.&nbsp; Talk about self-awareness.&nbsp; I have to say I am impressed.&nbsp; It takes guts to speak that plainly about politics and the vagaries of political popularity.&nbsp; I am sure that there is next to nothing that she and I would agree on politically, but I have to respect her forthrightness in drawing our attention to something that should be obvious, but is instead so politically inconvenient that <a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/12/ferraro-steps-down/" target="_blank">she has left the Clinton campaign as a result</a>.&nbsp; See what you get when you speak truth to Liberal power.<br>http://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/13/a-liberal-i-can-respect.aspx#Comments2ea0b898-7c41-4466-b937-7a3514e09930Thu, 13 Mar 2008 14:18:12 GMThttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/13/shocking-story-of-gay-porn-as-required-reading-in-high-school.aspxWarner Todd Huston<b>-By Warner Todd Huston</b> <p><img src="http://www.jonathanfrappier.com/angels.jpg" align="right" border="0" height="200" hspace="0" width="128">UPDATE - <a href="http://www.dequalss.com/wp/?p=728" target="_blank">TRM at D Equals S agrees wholeheartedly</a>!<br></p><p>The story of an Illinois high school making a gay pornographic play required reading for seniors has been <a href="http://www.wbbm780.com/pages/1785631.php?">reported since March 7th</a>, but it has been ignored for the most part with only a handful of news outlets having taken on this issue. The fact that a public high school that requires such reading doesn't raise a fuss in the media shows how the media supports the gay agenda, of course.</p> <p>The book, "Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes," has numerous passages that describes gay sexual encounters in exacting, sometimes violent, detail.</p> <p>The book, "Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes," has numerous passages that describes gay sexual encounters in exacting detail, some of them violent.</p> <p>Initially, this book was required reading for college-bound seniors, but a Deerfield community group was <a href="http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewCulture.asp?Page=/Culture/archive/200803/CUL20080310a.html">successful in getting the book removed</a> from the required list and placed on an opt-in list.</p> <p>Matt Barber, director of cultural issues with Concerned Women for America, was amazed by the explicit nature of the book.</p> <!--more--> <p>Barber said, "This isn't a First Amendment issue. This is about school officials betraying the community trust. Heads need to roll here. Assigning this racist, pornographic smut to high school kids is nothing short of child abuse."</p> <p>This same school district has been in hot water before for trying to slip in under the radar homosexual advocacy into the curriculum.</p> <blockquote> <p>The school district and NSSA clashed last year over a freshman orientation session where students talked about bullying and other issues and included gay students relating their experience in high school.</p> </blockquote> <p> And yet, the news media stays silent on this issue. It isn’t hard to understand why. The MSM wants neither to alert people who would stand against this effort nor report the success, even if minor, of these people trying to head off the instituting of the homosexual agenda in our schools.</p>http://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/13/shocking-story-of-gay-porn-as-required-reading-in-high-school.aspx#Comments2ef37c79-6e21-4193-92f4-938918a2a766Fri, 21 Mar 2008 14:42:05 GMThttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/10/reason-16-why-mrs-clinton-will-never-be-president.aspxJohn McJunkinVOL host John McJunkin offers up Reason #16 Why Mrs. Clinton Will Never Be President.<br>podcastshttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/10/reason-16-why-mrs-clinton-will-never-be-president.aspx#Comments194c5e9c-4b19-4bf3-be0c-ce60556c2a15Sun, 09 Mar 2008 23:16:25 GMTJohn McJunkinnono00:00:00http://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/10/what-in-the-world-is-going-on.aspxJohn McJunkinAndrea Shea-King goes on a rampage - fueled by reports of young rabbinical seminary students in Israel gunned down in cold blood.&nbsp; This one is not to be missed!<br>podcastshttp://voiceoflibertypodcast.com/2008/03/10/what-in-the-world-is-going-on.aspx#Comments5645d38a-7610-41e8-811c-48be4b8d3ec8Sun, 09 Mar 2008 23:16:25 GMTJohn McJunkinnono00:00:00
