On May 1, 2003, President Bush stood underneath a “Mission Accomplished” banner and announced that “Major combat operations have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.”

Here’s a by-the-numbers look at the situation then, compared to the situation now:

I find it almost comical that the media is all a quiver about the fact that the second in command that Nancy Pelosi wanted, Representative John Murtha, was defeated and the front runner, Representative Steny Hoyer, was elected. The New York Times wrote today, �Nancy Pelosi has managed to severely scar her leadership even before taking up the gavel as the new speaker of the House.�

This is bullshit, lets us take a moment look at the fall of 1994, the Speaker Elect of the House was Newt Gingrich, and the newly elected Republicans were holding elections for the upcoming Congressional leadership posts. Newt, was throwing all his weight (And that is a lot, trust me) behind a man by the name of Robert Walker of Pennsylvania, for the position of Majority Leader. As the internal House election drew near, Newt was campaigning hard to get Robert the position, but as the votes were counted it was clear that he had failed and the position went to a rival of Newt�s, Tom DeLay. Almost the exact same situation as we have today. At the time the media said nothing about how Newt was damaged goods before he even got the job, none of it.

The right wing news media is so thrown off on how to spin the Democratic landslide; they have no idea what to do. They have sold their souls to the Republicans who have then turned around and lost the election. Right now the news media is seen as culpable of the failures of this administration and its Republican protectorates. The American people see the media not as the fourth estate doing its job to keep the government in check, but as an accomplice. The media is fearful of the wrath that the Democrats have the power to unleash, like the reestablishment of the �Fairness Doctrine�, or the halt to the very much desired media consolidation that the Republicans dangled in from of their faces.

You want proof of the media�s crimes, look no further than this story.

Looks like Rolling Stones is becoming out to be the only people that are doing America a favor and calling this administration what it is, a total failure…

Once again Bill “Falafel” O’Reilly has shown that he is one of two things, the dumbest man alive backed by a staff of retarded monkeys, or is knowing lying to his audience to incite violence as he leads his cult of morons to belive there is a “War on Christians”. Both chooses are wrong for America.

Last night on the “Factor” watched by almost NO ONE on the 24-51 demographic (known as the money demographic) said…

"What do you think Benjamin Franklin and George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and James Madison would have thought about the ACLU, all right, Pledge of Allegiance, no God, Christmas icons out of the public arena? What do you think those guys would have thought about that?"

As he was saying this, he had an Easter Bunny and Christmas Tree on the screen.

Now a few simple Google searches, and half the whit god gave a mule you can find out that Ben and George would have not given 2 shits about this.

First off I urge you “Christians” to read the Bible, I am sure you have heard of it, it is the book you seem to forget as you preach to us. You will find nothing, not a damn thing about the “Christmas icons” or the Easter ones for that matter anywhere. Jesus was not born under a Christmas tree, nor were there eggs or bunnies at his feet when he died.

You see these things are purely pagan in origin. The “War on Christians” is in fact a Christian creation defending us pagans!

I will post this again, but here is that the History Channel says about Christmas.

The pilgrims, English separatists that came to America in 1620, were even more orthodox in their Puritan beliefs than Cromwell. As a result, Christmas was not a holiday in early America. From 1659 to 1681, the celebration of Christmas was actually outlawed in Boston. Anyone exhibiting the Christmas spirit was fined five shillings. By contrast, in the Jamestown settlement, Captain John Smith reported that Christmas was enjoyed by all and passed without incident.

After the American Revolution, English customs fell out of favor, including Christmas. In fact, Congress was in session on December 25, 1789, the first Christmas under America’s new constitution. Christmas wasn’t declared a federal holiday until June 26, 1870.

So where in the world is the Easter (named after the pagan goddess of fertility Eostre.) icons in the Bible? How can there be a "War on Christians" if everything that is being looked at is not in any way "Christian"?

Here is a message to the staff that supports Bill, first, do not take any calls from him while he is at home, second, if you here a buzzing on the phone, assume he is using a toy on his backside, and lastly, it is called Google, go to www.google.com, there you will find a search box, get started….

I post this, because for the most part I just hate Bill O’Reilly so much, he is more of a liar than George Bush and Scott McClellan combined and has a heart as black as the devil.

Well Fox News, with it’s flagship shill Bill “Falafel” O’Reilly, is seeing it’s rating take a huge fall, as others see a gain. I guess Americans are looking for real news, not “Missing White Girl Watch” and “GOP Talking Points”.

Now the truth is Bill is number one in his time slot, in face he has a little under 3:1 over his nearest competitor, but HIS ratings have dropped by 21% over last year, while most others saw huge gains. Countdown on MSNBC has seen a 55% increase, while even Head Line News, that has no one specific on has gained 33%. You can take a look yourself (PDF)

Ah, this is great, the White House is going to go after the media for reporting the distruction of our Nation. In what is now Life in Bush’s America, reporting on this is wrong, not the distruction itself.

Read, from the Financial Times

The Bush administration will tell the Senate today that the National Security Agency’s programme for terrorist surveillance has been badly distorted by media reports, and that the scheme is a strictly limited one aimed at al-Qaeda members and affiliated groups.

In the first Senate hearing on the controversial programme, which was set up secretly in 2002 and revealed publicly in December, Alberto Gonzales, the attorney-general, will say that the press accounts "are in almost every case, in one way or another, misinformed, confused or wrong," according to Time magazine, which has obtained documents outlining the planned testimony.

"Contrary to the speculation reflected in some media reporting, the terrorist surveillance programme is not a dragnet that sucks in all conversation and uses computer searches to pick out calls of interest," Mr Gonzales will say in response to questions raised by Arlen Specter, chairman of the Senate judiciary committee. "No communications are intercepted unless first it is determined that one end of the call is outside of the country, and professional intelligence experts have probable cause [that is, ‘reasonable grounds to believe’] that a part to the communication is a member or agent of al-Qaeda or an affiliated terrorist organisation."

Liar liar pants on fire! If you were really going after al-Qaeda you would have used the courts, there was NO NEED for this uber over the top need. So who was he really tapping? Kerry? Or maybe his own people. Hmmm

A free media was supposed to be there to protect Americans from the corruption of government. They were to report with an unbiased eye the

More info as it comes…

Maybe CNN does not want a traitir on it’s staff. Bush Sr. Fired him for the same thing..

UPDATE

He is moving to FOX NEWS. What a Shock! A Right-Wing Loser moves over to a station full of Right-Wing Loser!

From the AP…

Commentator Robert Novak, who hasn’t been seen on CNN since swearing and storming off the set in August, will leave the network after 25 years and join Fox News Channel as a contributor next month.

Novak, 74, said Friday he probably would have left CNN anyway when his contract expired this month even if it hadn’t been for the incident.

The suspension actually served to eliminate a delicate problem for CNN, which had received some criticism for keeping the political columnist on the air with his involvement in the CIA leak case.
