That is an overstatement by the writer...sm

In Reply to: I read that entire article and I still didn't see where it said sm - MT
I think he is referring to this:
Crowds of young men began arriving in eastern Baghdad's Sadr City late Thursday and were housed in mosques and Shiite community centers. U.S. Army vehicles guarded approaches to the slum to prevent clashes between Shiite and Sunni extremists.

I agree, a definite overstatement and play on words. sm
I prefer the LA Times version, though I don't really like them. Their article did not try to deliberately mislead.
I think the writer has it down pat.
He sees what most of the American people don't see. How can we wake up the sleeping blind? Look at some of these movie stars/comedians lately; i.e., Janie Garfoolish and others. As long as they have blind followers, no one will listen or hear the truth... and with this cyber czar thingie starting, how do we know they won't use wire tapping, too?
We will be Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, all rolled into one.
As for the tax on private health insurance we pay for, I think that's a "threat" so we lay down and accept the healthcare plan they want to implement to avoid taxes on our private insurance and then the rest of the taxes will HAVE to be implemented to pay for the healthcare plan they put in place to cover everyone.
I just wish our newspapers and TV stations would have the guts to get the truth out.
Writer, in case you do see this
This is not the first time A.W. has had a hissy fit and said she's leaving....with that said the poster she talked about who was banned (something I didn't know until this thread) was the queen mother of hatred and never posted anything that was not extremely inflammatory. She accused others of drinking while freely admitting she struggled with an alcohol problem. She verbalized death wishes upon the president...so on and so on. She attacked conservatives with her fangs bared. It's really pretty sad that they cannot talk to people without taking broad issues so personally. There are a few, (and I do mean a few here) while we definitely differ with them on a lot of issues are approachable and will have a decent conversation with you. However, the amicable people are usually run off the board by the bitter ones who equate Bush and conservatives with Satan. It's really sad they are stuck in such an immature state and/or overwrought with bitterness.
Racist or fiction writer...
The duty of a writer is to illuminate his surroundings. Yeah, right, pull the other leg. Why not go into the operating room and witness a late-term abortion where the needle is stuck in a baby's head to suck his/her brains out? Illuminate THOSE surroundings. Try a little truth instead of morally bankrupt fiction? Because it would not sell books, that's why. In my mind, just because it is fiction does not excuse it. Frankly, the fact that it is in the mind at all is distrubing, but to put it on paper and market it for monetary gain...sorry, I find that morally bankrupt. But again...morality and values were lost to a great portion of the left years ago. I should not be surprised. As to the racism...no one should condone racism. On EITHER side. But since the left re-elects Sheets Byrd year after year after year, I don't know why George Allen should be that much of a problem for you, other than he seems to be a racist Republican vs a racist Democrat? Please to explain the difference and why Sheets gets a pass? And please do not use the old that was in the past stuff. It has not been that many years ago that Sheets committed a verbal gaff as well, to add to the many over the gazillion years he has been in the senate. The man is a lifelong racist, a card-carrying member of the KKK; you know it, I know it, and the people who keep electing him know it. Your protests against Allen seem very hollow.
Well yes, there is that LOL, but he is still a very entertaining speaker/writer. nm

Totally agree with the writer. sm
Especially this paragraph:
"Let the market correct
itself folks - it will. Yes it will be painful, but it's gonna' be
painful either way, and the bright side of my proposal is that on the
other side of it all, is a nation that appreciates what it has…and
doesn't live beyond its means…and gets back to basics…and redevelops
the patriotic work ethic that made it the greatest nation in the
history of the world…and probably turns back to God."
so the choices were a racist or a fiction writer...sm
If you think Allen only said *macacca once* then you are naive, and I know you are not. He was only caught on camera once. His own friends said he was prejudiced in college and the *macacca* statement on the record is evidence he has not changed. The man had a noose in his office for Pete's sake.
Judging a candidate by his fiction writing. He claims, *It's not a sexual act, Webb told [radio host Mark] Plotkin regarding the Lost Soldiers excerpt. I actually saw this happen in a slum in Bangkok when I was there as a journalist.
The duty of a writer is to illuminate his surroundings.*
Is what he wrote tasteless - YES, but it was fiction. I will hold out on defending his writing just yet. I have not read the novel, but being an avid fiction reader there is no way I would try to judge a writers integrity or personality from what's in their novel.

Yeah, I see. The writer is part and parcel
parcel of the hypnotized Obama Masters of Ineptitude, sprinkled with fairy dust. Probably thinks words like "hope" and "change"are complete sentences that add up to national policy. When Gitmo is closed, jihad on American soil will be courtesy of the Obama administration. Sure hope we keep it open. It's the perfect place to house the biggest enemy to the U. S. in its history off its soil....when his term ends.
Salisbury is a left-wing liberal writer.So,
