Political Architect

Villepin said he wanted to speed up a $35.5 billion urban redevelopment plan, triple the number of merit scholarships for talented students and offer jobs, training or internships to disadvantaged young people.

"We must offer them hope and a future," he said.

Wow. I haven't blogged for months, but I had to say something about this. France is burning at the hands of it's over five million muslim inhabitants. And the brilliant answer that the government has is....let's give them more freebees so they'll like us. The staggering ignorance and refusal to see the obvious is unbelievable.

Our Self-appointed Moral Masters

Thanks to Justice Kennedy and the other four subjective Justices, this kid will not face the death penalty.

Justice Scalia, one of the sane members of the court, wrote the dissent to this ridiculous decision. Read it.

Yeah.....right.....

Russian President Putin is convinced (wink, wink) that Iran has no intent on developing nuclear weapons.

Didn't he say some similar things about Iraq not too long ago?

Is there an Oil-for-food program in Iran that I'm not aware of?

Churchill...no, not that one.

"Naturally and inevitably, what you put out will blow back on you and that's what happened," Churchill said.

This is a choice quote from the foolish profesor at CU concerning the 911 attacks. Isn't this the exact same thing that is happening to him now that his ignorant remarks have been widely publicized outside of the coolaid drinking University community?

Also, he says that over 500,000 children were killed based on the sanction policy put on Iraq after the Gulf War. First, there are ZERO facts to indicate that this number of children died during that time period. Just because he says it doens't make it so. Also, does he care about the known 300,000 Iraqi citizens that were dug out of mass graves? What about the people dancing in the streets after they voted a couple of weeks ago?

Second, it was Saddam Hussein and the United Nations who caused the Iraqi people suffering during that time period as they systematically raped the Iraqi nation of its oil through the "Oil for Food" program.

Third, Mr. Church made a statement concerning the death of "millions" of brown skinned babies and wanting the United States to show sorrow for them. Ignoring the obvious contradictory statement on numbers that he made in the same speech (500,000 versus "millions"), I wonder what Mr. Churchil's position is concerning abortion? Does he care about the true "millions" of babies that have been killed in the United States? Maybe he does, somehow I doubt it...which makes him somewhat hypocritical.

Fourth, how seriously should we take any statements from a man who claims to be a "Native American", but who's supposed tribe says he isn't?

The United Keetoowah Band Cherokee says University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill is not a member of their tribe.

"He's not in the database at all and is not a member of the Keetoowah," said Georgia Mauldin, the tribal clerk in Tahlequah, Okla. (Rocky Mountain News)

Mr. Church appears to be truth challenged. And how did he end up as head of the ethics department? A sad state of our Universities.

Mr. Church has the right to say anything he wants, it's still a free country. He is free to make inflamitory statements in order to do the University lecture circuit and get high fees to dispurse his opinions to like minded professors and their non-questioning students.

But the American people have an equal right to point out his lies and half-truths and to demand that he be removed from the public dole that supports him. Let him make his statments on his own dime....and see how long he is able to support himself.

Smoking Ban

I'm not a smoker. As a matter of fact, I think it is a smelly, unhealthy habit.

It turns out that Fidel Castro has decided to ban smoking in public areas.

I think it is interesting to see the similarities between this communist government's position on smoking versus the positions of liberal areas of the United States on the same subject.

Why do some believe that an individuals choice to smoke is the moral question of the day, instead of say..... the fight against terrorism? And I also wonder if these people who want to remove one's choice to smoke are "pro choice" when it comes to terminating babies in a mother's womb?

..and lastly, do you think Fidel Castro will stop smoking his cigars in public places?
