Need I say more!

Brian Melendez is a shamless human and a disgrace to our Vets and America

Scott Johnson from www.powerlineblog.com writes of an email he received:

Coleman's third column on the Midwest Heroes ads quotes certain email messages he received from "soldiers, family members and veterans of past conflicts" supporting his columns. Here is one we received from an Iraq war veteran ("back from Tikrit") addressing the substance of Coleman's columns and Melendez's calumny: Have you ever noticed that when Democrats dissent on the Iraqi campaign, and their criticism or dissent is rebutted, they quickly seek refuge with, "How dare you question my patriotism"?

Yet, here we have the head of the Minnesota DFL calling Iraqi veterans and their families "un-American" for stating their beliefs about the war. Republicans are often senseless when it comes to the cut-and-thrust of local politics, but here is a case where Minnesota Republicans, followed shortly thereafter by the national Republican Party, should 1) call for a written and public apology from Brain Melendez to the veterans and their families; 2) call for Melendez to resign as Chairman of the DFL, as he is unfit to head a reputable political outfit; 3) call on other prominent Democrat leaders to repudiate Melendez and his ugly statements.

More personally, I'm an Iraqi veteran twice over. I know we fight Al Qaeda, among others, in Iraq. I know Al Qaeda attacked us repeatedly in the 1990s, attacked the USS Cole in 2000, and attacked us again on 9-11-2001. Since I share the same knowledge and beliefs as the people in the "Midwest Heroes" ads, Melendez has also insulted me as an un-American liar. I want an apology from him and from his party.

By the way, I was also serving in the 101st until very recently, but unfortunately did not run into LTC Repya. I hope I can still serve at his age.

Rick Waddell
COL, US Army Reserve

First Col. Waddell, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! You are a true American and a real hero to all of us.

Col. Waddell is right, Brian Melendez should resign!

Melendez is a shameful excuse for an American, and YES, I WILL QUESTION HIS PATRIOTISM! He and others like him HATE AMERICA and everything it stands for. Not I, the TruthDefender!

I am curious how much of his over paid lawyer salary he puts to the causes he thinks I need to pay for? Matter of fact, these partial-birth abortions gone bad morons, critize the President for violating the Constitution, yet they want to suppress the speech of our Vets.

Melendez, you and your leftist thugs are a disgrace to all Americans and a bigger disgrace to those who fought so you could shoot your worthless mouths off.

NASCAR NATION

We're already through week two and the race for the chase is ON! Dale Jr. is my favorite and had a couple good runs. Unfortunately, Jimmy Johnson, won the Great American race a week ago; today he finished 2nd. Well, at least it's a long season and he may hit some bad luck. Little E, of course will get hot about week 10 and never look back.

NSA

Mort Kondrake writes in a commentary on Realclearpolitics.com, how the Bush administration should work with Congress to allow electronic surveillance of terrorists. The article is below:

Cheney v. Kennedy

I think I would rather hunt with The Vice President than ride with Ted Kennedy.

Ok, that is now an old joke, but it is true! And yet the MSM is SO BLASTED CONCERNED that they did not get their dirty, grubby little hands on a story that they would use to embarrass the Bush Administration until 14 hours later. NO MENTION, mind you, of Sen. Kennedy's little joy ride and the time that passed while a young woman was left to die.

The whole Cheney incident is a non-news story for me. There are more important topics (for example, how incompetent Democrats are), to be covered. How about the good going on in Iraq, or the liberal failure called Minneapolis, or Iran, or how well our economy is... no! It's a non-issue, no laws broken, hunting accident.

No wonder I don't watch the MSM anymore.

Republicans are Happy :)

The report by Pew Research has shown that Republicans are more happy than the Democrats. This should be no suprise when on one side, the glass is half full and the other half empty.

And the left defends these people

A Picture says a thousand words.

Super Bowl Prediction

Because I am a multi-cultural type of guy (I enjoy more than just politics), I thought I would offer my Super Bowl prediction.

I believe a good defense can shut down any offense, thus I think the Steelers will win 21-14.

All, I ask is Shaun Alexander NOT GET HURT! He's my first round draft pick in next season's Fantasy Football draft.

STAY THE H.E. "DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS" OUT OF MY LIFE! Deal with the real issue!

I just read in the Pioneer Press today that the Wisconsin Legislature has passed a law requiring that any child under the age of 8 or less than 4'9" and 80 lbs be in a booster seat. As a father of three, I want to say is STAY THE HECK OUT MY BUSINESS AND LIFE! If you government people are so blasted smart, deal with the real issue; enforcing traffic laws will make our roads safer thus our children will be less likely to be injured in an accident. Children don't die when people act responsible, children die and get hurt when morons do moronic things. For example: speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, tailgating, speeding when the roads are covered in ice and snow, etc...

I am a responsible driver, I drive no more than 5 over the speed limit, I try not to tailgate, and I drive slower when the roads have precipitation on them. I won't have an accident, someone will do something completely stupid that will effect me. But, getting back to my point: DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM! Get more troopers on the roads, enforce traffic laws. But, since politicians are smarter than the average bear, the problem goes unsolved and we deal with the effects.

And, like the recent lobbyist scandals in Washington, instead of dealing with the problem-- unethical and criminal pols and lobbyists-- NEW LAWS added to existing laws to deal with these people will be introduced and passed. Dealing with the effect instead of the cause.

But the bill will be signed by a Governor who has no problem with protecting the privacy to abort a human life; Doyle will in effect violate my privacy to transport my children as I see fit.

Bills like this make me think of issues like drivers and cell phones. All we hear is an absolute ban on driving and cell phone use. Why punish the majority of responsible drivers who can talk and drive at the same time? Enforce traffic laws on those who, while using their cell phones, violate the laws. But than again, I guess that is simply too obvious for politicians to figure out.

Let's deal with the larger problem, and stop dancing around it.
