Howard Dean doesn't know what he's talking about

Meet the press 11-13-05:

MR. RUSSERT: Should Hillary Clinton and John Kerry and others say, "Based on what I know today, I would not have voted for the war"?

DR. DEAN: John--my impression was that John Kerry did say that.

Washington Post 8-10-04:

On Friday, Bush challenged Kerry to answer whether he would support the war "knowing what we know now" about the failure to find weapons of mass destruction that U.S. and British officials were certain were there.

In response, Kerry said: "Yes, I would have voted for the authority. I believe it was the right authority for a president to have."

Maybe Dean is right and Kerry just flip-flopped again. But could Dean be any more of an annoying blowhard? It would appear the answer is yes:

DR. DEAN: [Judge Alito] condones a strip-search of a 10-year-old when the police had no such warrant or indication to do so. He condoned the crafting of an all-white jury to hear a black defendant's case by a prosecutor. He condoned the states not having to listen to the Family Medical Leave Act. He condoned government interference in private family matters and family decision- making. This is well outside the mainstream of where Americans are. I think the Democrats are going to have to think long and hard as the hearings progress about whether we should support him. There's some grave questions about him, and I do hope that they will stick together.

MR. RUSSERT: If you were a senator, you would vote no?

DR. DEAN: I'm not going to make that--if I were a senator, I would not tell you that now, because I believe in listening to all the evidence first.

Can you say blowhard? Dean attacks Alito by grossly misrepresenting him, but is too afraid to speculate how he'd vote on Alito.

MR. RUSSERT: But is it enough for you to say to the country, "Trust us, the other guy's no good. We'll do better, but we're not going to tell you specifically how we're going to deal with Iraq."

DR. DEAN: We will. When the time comes, we will do that.

Dean, did I hear this right? The Democrats don't know how to deal with Iraq.

MR. RUSSERT: When's the time going to come?

DR. DEAN: The time is fast-approaching. And I outlined the broad outlines of our agenda. We're going to have specific plans in all of these areas.

MR. RUSSERT: This year?

DR. DEAN: In 2006.

So if I get this straight, Dean admits the Democrats don't have a solution on getting Iraq under control, AND the American public will have to wait at least 1 and a half months to hear what their plan is?

How can people stand this guy?

California Removes its Feeding Tube

I can't believe it. California has chosen to void their Constitutional right to bear arms and bow down to far left special interest groups and blatant pro-choice ideology.

I'm not a fan of special interest groups --any of them. In the past I've never felt the need to join one, and the NRA is no exception. I've never seen the NRA be against ownership or promotion of any type of "arm" be it automatic or even nuclear. That's how special interest groups work -know no limits, know no compromise (just ask Peter Drucker). Today however, when I see San Francisco waive their Constitutional right to bear arms, it angered me so much I actually decided to join the organization. An organizatioin I don't even care for.

So anyway, I just signed up as a member of the NRA. It took two minutes and was only $35 dollars. I'm going to get a subscription to America's First Freedom --hopefully it doesn't suck. Words cannot express how much I want the NRA to overturn this measure made by idiots in San Fran. I'll try to keep an eye on the NRA's site to see if they'll get a bump in traffic after today.

In other bone-headed moves in California, they've chosen to let minors have an abortion without requiring them to tell their parents. Never mind the fact that kids can't even go on a field trip without parental permission. California has forsaken parental guardianship for the freedom to have access to an abortion. To all who voted against Proposition 73, never again do I want to hear you claim to have a legal, parental right to authorize --or even know about-- anything your child does, especially if it's health related.

The media is wondering if Arnold Schwarzenegger is the big loser in California since none of his propositions passed. I can only pray that public outrage across the country is so intense that the losers will undeniably be the voters that outlawed a piece of parental authority and the constitution.

The French Riots - President Jacques Chirac Fiddles while Paris burns

France has been rioting for a whopping 11 days (from October 27 until November 6). I'm not saying that riots generally have a good reason to start, but these rioters are especially dumb. A couple of kids ran from cops and ended up killing themselves. How devoid of civil behavior does a society have to be to allow this to happen?!

So President Chirac tries to save the day by promising France that his government will get everything under control --on the 11th day! Keep in mind these riots should have never happened if the country had any control over it's people.

Words cannot express how glad I am that things operate a little differently in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Just three days after 9-11, President Bush stood on Ground Zero and said the US was going to kick some terrorist ass. And just hours after hurricane Katrina, the American public was demanding more accountability and action from the Federal and state governments.

Next time Chirac criticizes how the United States operates, I've got a message for him. GET YOUR OWN SUPERPOWER.
