M. Stanton Evans spent seven years of his life searching through never before seen documents and FBI files made available through the Freedom of Information Act to find out if the hated Joe McCarthy was indeed guilty of conducting a communist witch hunt. The result of his work is revealed in his new book, “Blacklisted by History” due to hit the bookstores this week. The author contends that penetration to our government by Communist Party members and sympathizers was extensive and McCarthy was “right on the essence of it and right on many (90%) of the cases.”

As with so many other things in American history I don’t expect this book will open or change the minds of those who defend communism…I just wish those who defend communism would pick a country, say Cuba?...Venezuela?...North Korea...(yeah!)…and go live there.

SCROLL TO END OF STORY FOR IMPORTANT UPDATE

“In God We Trust,” the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence may be found unsuitable in Bakersfield schools.

Sometimes it feels like I’m in some wild and crazy dream...life in these United States is so very different from what it once was. How in the heck have we come to a place where the founding historical documents and official motto of our country are being considered for possible exclusion from the classrooms of our children’s schools? It’s unthinkable to me that an educatror could say something like the following:

The Associated Press - NAIROBI, Kenya - Somali pirates gave up control of two ships hijacked months earlier and U.S. Navy escorted the boats to safer waters Sunday as it stepped up efforts to bring security to the seas off the chaotic Horn of Africa nation.

The pirates climbed into small skiffs and headed back to Somalia after speaking by radio to U.S. naval personnel. A Navy ship and helicopter guided the South Korean-owned boats Mavuno 1 and 2 further out to sea.

It was the third time in a week the U.S. has intervened to help ships hijacked by Somali pirates. Sailors boarded a North Korean ship to give medical assistance to crew members who overpowered their hijackers, and a U.S. naval vessel fired on pirate skiffs tied to a Japanese-owned ship.

Well the poll has been running for about 5 days and the results are Dan Logue is first, me second and Sue Horne is 3rd. At some point we have to call it and since we usually run a poll here for just a few days, this is close enough.
Considering the big names, money and endorsements I'm up against I think I did better than I had right to expect! Thank you for taking part.

Above Top Secret...

Just when you thought it was safe to read the newspaper or listen to the news: Pakistan represents a new crisis for America, a second chance for the Taliban and a new mission for Al Qaeda.

AP- Police fired tear gas and clubbed lawyers protesting Monday against President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's emergency rule. The U.S. and other nations called for elections to be held on schedule and said they were reviewing aid to Pakistan.

When you work up a sweat on the treadmill or stationary bike, it sparks the creation of new blood vessels in your heart. Essentially, if any part of your heart is damaged, exercise helps to heal it. No pills required.

That is the stunning finding from researchers at Leipzig University in Germany. The Associated Press reports that Dr. Robert Hollriegel determined in a small study of just 37 people that when those who had serious heart failure rode a bike for up to 30 minutes a day for four months, new stem cells were produced in their bones. In addition, they had more small blood vessels in their muscles. A control group of people who did not exercise had no change in their vessels or muscles.

"Despite its widely publicized rhetoric, the Gore firm's stock portfolio looks to be that of an ordinary diversified mutual fund," said JunkScience.com publisher Steve Milloy. "If this is 'sustainable' investing, then it is a meaningless term," Milloy said. *** GIM, of which Al Gore is the chairman and founding partner, filed its Form 13F-Holdings report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 23, 2007. *** According to the report, GIM has $438 million invested in the following 22 companies: AFLAC, Amdocs, Autodesk, Becton Dickinson, Blackbaud, Donaldson Company, General Electric, Greenhill & Co., HDFC Bank, Johnson Controls, Laboratory Corporation of America, Metabolix, Millipore, Mueller Water Products, Northern Trust, Procter & Gamble, SPDR Trust, Staples, Techne Corp., UBS, Varian Medical Systems and Waters Corp. *** Al Gore says on the GIM web site that, "Integrating issues such as climate change into investment analysis is simply common sense." *** But with the exception of General Electric ─ which actively lobbies for global warming regulation while its stock significantly underperforms the broad stock market ─ GIM's portfolio doesn't seem to have anything to do with climate change. Notably absent from GIM's portfolio are energy and utility companies ─ even those that claim they will benefit from global warming regulation.

WorldNetDaily.com posted the story, "Dick Scaife no longer leading 'Clinton hater'" yesterday proving that politics is a very strange game of power and money.

WASHINGTON – When first lady Hillary Clinton famously lashed out at foes as a "vast, right-wing conspiracy," there was no question in the minds of Democrats as to who was directing it, funding it and pulling the strings.
It was Richard Mellon Scaife, an heir to fortunes made in banking, oil and aluminum who subsidized the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and underwrote countless conservative and Republican causes – including "the Arkansas Project," specifically designed to expose Clinton scandals. *** But that was then. This is now. *** Today, Dick Scaife has joined the anti-war movement, directing his newspaper in July to call for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq, and watching another of his media prizes, NewsMax.com, embrace Clinton with a surprisingly friendly interview about his new book, "Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World." *** In the midst of a messy divorce from his wife, Ritchie, Dick Scaife stunned many in his own community of Pittsburgh by joining hands with Clinton, George Soros, Rep. Jack Murtha, Sen. John Kerry and other former political foes in anti-war activism.

Scaife's NewsMax, a popular and once enthusiastically pro-Republican news website co-owned with Christopher Ruddy, who famously investigated the mysterious death of Clinton's deputy White House counsel Vincent Foster and the strange death of Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, also began attacking the war in Iraq following Scaife's personal metamorphosis. *** Whatever has caused the change in Scaife, it appears infectious. In an interview with Bill Clinton published in NewsMax, Ruddy has nothing but kind words for the "new Bill Clinton"

Even Cut 50 Percent, Earmarks Clog a Military Bill
New York Times, by Marilyn W Thompson, Ron Nixon

WASHINGTON — Even though members of Congress cut back their pork barrel spending this year, House lawmakers still tacked on to the military appropriations bill $1.8 billion to pay 580 private companies for projects the Pentagon did not request. Twenty-one members were responsible for about $1 billion in earmarks, or financing for pet projects, according to data lawmakers were required to disclose for the first time this year.

Here’s an interesting tidbit to chew on:

The Perils of Petrocracy
New York Times Magazine, by Tina Rosenberg

Who holds the world’s oil? You might assume it’s in the hands of big private oil companies like ExxonMobil. But in fact, 77 percent of the world’s oil reserves are held by national oil companies with no private equity, and there are 13 state-owned oil companies with more reserves than ExxonMobil, the largest multinational oil company. The popular perception in the United States is that if leaders of oil countries nationalize their oil, they are bucking a global trend toward privatization. In reality, nationalized oil is the trend.

So I guess BIG OIL is about 77% progressive!

And liberals scheme to make us pay one way or another…

Now and then, as I travel along the Al Gore Superhighway, I stumble upon two or more stories that converge. This particular meeting at the crossroads features Al’s favorite subject, “global warming.” Our journey will demonstrate the hypocrisy and misguided conceit of the liberal way.

Let’s begin with a few basics. It’s no secret that Al and friends in the liberal Democrat Party believe human beings, and specifically humans beings involved in the huge industrial complex, have caused global warming. It’s also widely understood that liberals despise big business and, in their heart of hearts, believe that all solutions come from government: government laws and regulations, and government programs funded by tax dollars…preferably from the rich. And finally, liberal democrats, progressives if you prefer, like to claim that everything they do is for the children, minorities, and the poor. These are the signposts to watch for today…I hope you enjoy the ride.

First stop is in the backyard of former U.S. president Bill Clinton, who, through his foundation, is teaming up with the widely despised corporate behemoth, Wal-Mart. Together these two giants of influence and industry have conspired to offer low cost green products to cities across our nation…one small step to save the world:

SEATTLE — Former President Bill Clinton told more than 100 mayors Thursday that stopping global warming depends on them demonstrating that it makes economic sense. He said his foundation is teaming up with Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to save cities money on environmentally friendly supplies by buying in bulk. ** "We will not get a global agreement on climate change unless you can prove this is not a burden," he said. "This is the greatest opportunity we have had in our lifetimes." ** The Clinton Foundation has previously worked with 40 of the world's largest cities to create a buying pool to bring down prices for green supplies such as hybrid vehicles and more efficient street lights.

I don’t know about this being the “greatest opportunity” we’ve had in our lifetimes…there are some immediate concerns that might qualify as greater. Could it be Bill was thinking mostly of himself? He’s got to be a bit irked by now what with Al stealing the spotlight and winning worldwide fawning and favor in very splashy ways.

Clinton’s idea isn’t bad, in fact I like the basic private sector solution. One question immediately comes to mind, however. How will cities that have spurned the building of Wal-Mart stores in their communities now go about back peddling and sucking up in order to benefit from the great deals offered by the BIG president they adore... and the BIG business they hate? And how do they square this with unions that are wondering why Bill Clinton didn’t work through Costco or Safeway? I guess as long as it’s this liberal (Clinton) that holds the hero’s seat all will be temporarily forgiven.

Our second stop along the superhighway takes us to the U.S. Senate where a committee is putting together a bill that demands certain ecological standards…whether or not these standards can actually be met and whether or not they fit into budgets and workable plans. The most important thing is that the senators look good to their constituents who expect solutions by government decree:

Even Harvard Finds The Media Biased
Investor's Business Daily, by Editorial Staff

Journalism: The debate is over. A consensus has been reached. On global warming? No, on how Democrats are favored on television, radio and in the newspapers. Just like so many reports before it, a joint survey by the Project for Excellence in Journalism and Harvard's Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy — hardly a bastion of conservative orthodoxy — found that in covering the current presidential race, the media are sympathetic to Democrats and hostile to Republicans.

“An originalist is someone who adheres to the text of the Constitution, but — more importantly — gives the text the meaning that it had when the American people adopted it,” he said. “It is such a minority view currently that people sometimes come up to me and say, ‘Justice Scalia, when did you first become an originalist?’ This is some kind of weird affliction, like ‘When did you start eating human flesh?’” ** “Originalism used to be orthodoxy,” Scalia said. “Nobody ever thought the Constitution morphed. If you had told [19th-century Associate Justice] Joseph Story that what it means is going to change from decade to decade on the basis of whatever five out of nine justices on the Supreme Court think it ought to mean, he would have been uncomprehending.”

Scalia made these remarks after receiving the Helms Center Foundation’s James W. Nance Medal of Freedom. That award is presented each year to “that individual in government who best exemplifies a devotion to public service and the protection of the nation’s foundational values,” according to a Helms Center news release.

There has been some criticism that California's joint military forces were too depleted by demands in Iraq to adequately respond to the fires in SoCal. Let me assure you, this just is not true. About 16% of our total force was deployed (State Active Duty) and that was all that was requested or needed. This number included air and ground units. There was an abundance of personnel in reserve that could have handled multiple emergency situations.
