An ACLU Xmas

American Daily: Christmas and America's 5th Column Jerks.

Reflecting on how fast the year has flown by and the overall positive mood of the American people, it is incumbent that I share my optimism, just to spite America's 5th Column Jerks. The so-called "Peace Movement" is America’s 5th Column that consists of the mainstream media, press, traitorous bureaucrats, too many socialist educators and bunch of Hollywood Nitwits.
A robust will of the American people to celebrate Christmas by spending more money per-capita and openly preferring retailers and their employees that wish customers a “Merry Christmas” was evident this year. Square in the face of political correctness jerks, the 86% of Americans that consider themselves politically moderate and believe in God are also telling America’s 5th Column to take a hike. The recent national uproar over the removal of Christmas trees at the Seattle International Airport is indicative of the mood Americans are in and willingness to fight for their traditions.

YNET NEWS: Terrorists rejoicing over new Baker report .

A high level US commission's recommendations for an eventual withdrawal from Iraq and for dialogue with Iran and Syria proves "Islamic resistance" works and America will ultimately be defeated, according to senior terrorist leaders interviewed by WND.
The militants, from the largest Palestinian terror groups in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, welcomed the policies outlined by the Iraq Study Group, which they claim recognizes Islam is the "new giant of the world."
"The report proves that this is the era of Islam and of jihad," said Abu Ayman, a senior leader of Islamic Jihad in the northern West Bank town of Jenin.

The Guardian: Talabani lashes out at 'dangerous' Baker report on US role in Iraq.

Iraq's president Jalal Talabani, a key ally of the US, yesterday delivered a thunderous rejection of the bipartisan US Iraq Study Group, describing its findings as "dangerous" and saying that its recommendations were "dead in the water".
At his heavily fortified residence on the banks of the Tigris, Mr Talabani told the Guardian that the key suggestions of the long-awaited report by James Baker and Democrat Lee Hamilton were "the wrong medicine for the wrong diagnosis" and called them an unwarranted interference in Iraq's internal affairs that undermined the war-torn country's sovereignty at a crucial time.

NewsMax: Juanita Broaddrick: I Fear President Hillary.

Clinton sexual assault accuser Juanita Broaddrick provided chilling new details of her one and only meeting with Hillary Clinton just a few weeks after she says her husband attacked her - and said the prospect that Mrs. Clinton may one day become president is "scary.".
"I haven't been worried [about Hillary becoming president] up until this time, but that thought now is coming across my mind more and more," Broaddrick told Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity. "And that is scary."

REDSTATE: A "LIBERAL MANIFESTO" AND OTHER HALLOWEEN FRIGHTS.

Over at The American Prospect, they decided to get a head start on scaring the public half to death this Halloween season by publishing a "Liberal Manifesto" which carefully lays out what the authors believe all good liberals should stand for.
This kind of earnestness on the part of the left is something we've grown used to over the years. In fact, it is a defining characteristic of modern liberalism, this cloying self righteousness. It fits in with their constant need to avoid introspection by formulating intellectual conceits based on a heroic self-image, standing up against the villainy of the opposition with only the lantern of truth and a pen to battle evil. Creating a "moral" universe that has about as much foundation as a pool of quicksand, liberals who are constantly defining and redefining themselves fail to see the monumental irony in their efforts to simplify their riot of conceits into any kind of logical or coherent set of principles.

M&C: Venezuela in win-win at U.N.

Over the years, Venezuela has used its considerable oil and gas wealth to exact its influence throughout Latin America and the world and it now appears to be trying to parlay its effort into earning a temporary seat on the U.N. Security Council.

Though Venezuela continued to trail Guatemala Tuesday after two rounds of voting, just being a runner up to the hand-picked U.S. favorite is a considerable accomplishment in light of the ever-increasing friction between Washington and Caracas.

Wizbang: Can You Say Nancy Pelosi, President of the United States?

When U.S. President Harry S. Truman signed the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, the "man from Independence" surely did so with the best interests of the American people in mind. But the feisty thirty-third president could not have imagined the potential impact of that act 60 years later.

The bill signed by President Truman revised the order for succession to the presidency. Under the revised law, the U.S. Speaker of the House is in line for succession to the presidency, after the vice president.

Washington Post: Chávez Aims For a Global Role.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez's blistering attack on President Bush at the United Nations this week marked a striking crescendo in a campaign to project Venezuela as a country with the global reach to counter American initiatives.
Swimming in wealth from an oil bonanza, Venezuela has bestowed billions of dollars in aid and preferential deals across Latin America, burnishing Chávez's image as heir apparent to President Fidel Castro of Cuba, his mentor and close friend.

From Bloomberg: Iran's President Calls Nuclear Issue "Not Important"

Iran's nuclear program is "not an important subject'' Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said as he arrived in New York to attend the 61st United Nations General Assembly.
"Iran's nuclear program is not an important subject and does not require so much debate,'' the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency quoted the president as saying on his arrival at John F. Kennedy airport." It is a technical subject that is following its course but some want to politicize it.''

BBC: New al-Qaeda warning marks 9/11

Ayman al-Zawahiri also condemned the policies of his native Egypt.

From Reuters: Couric sheds 20 pounds in doctored publicity photo.

"The CBS network said on Wednesday that an overzealous employee in its publicity department was responsible for air-brushing about 20 pounds off Katie Couric's figure in a recent promotional photo.
A photograph taken at a network event in May, showing Couric standing on stage smiling in a pin-stripped suit, was digitally altered to give the incoming CBS News anchor a trimmer waistline, darker clothing and even a thinner face."

Colorado Daily: Student voice says fire Churchill.

The University of Colorado Student Union has passed a resolution supporting the university administration's decision to fire controversial ethnic studies professor Ward Churchill.
In early 2005, Churchill became embroiled in controversy over an essay calling some Sept. 11 victims “technocrats” and comparing them to an infamous architect of Nazi policy.
Later that year, CU formed an investigative committee to examine allegations of research misconduct against Churchill. In spring, the committee announced findings that Churchill plagiarized some of his work.
Two months ago, interim CU-Boulder Chancellor Phil DiStefano announced his intention to fire the tenured professor.

Fun With Profiling

Kathleen Parker: Potential to save lives makes profiling sensible.

"In the wake of the foiled terrorist plot to blow up 10 U.S. jetliners flying between Britain and the United States, sensible people are reconsidering our government’s stubborn opposition to profiling.
Among the sensible elsewhere are officials of the British Department for Transport, who are proposing ethnic profiling as a means of more effectively identifying potential terrorists. The predictable chorus of opposition has chimed in on cue."

National Journal: Real Or Fake?

"Thanks to digital technology, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are the most photographed in history. Photographers with digital cameras have provided, almost instantaneously, an enormous flood of accurate, dramatic, and even shocking images to people around the world. But the daily downloads of news photos include some that are staged, fake, or so lacking in context as to be meaningless, despite the Western media's best efforts to separate the factual from the fictional."

Brace yourself. In the United Nations-brokered farce known as the “cessation of hostilities in Lebanon,” we may now be heading for the moment in which Secretary-General Kofi Annan jets to Beirut to crown as the heirs of Lebanon the hijackers of the Cedar Revolution — the terrorists of Hezbollah.
