Multiple thoughts this morning
Multiple thoughts this morning.
Vice President Cheney - 200 protesters at Brigham Young University turn out to rally against the Vice President speaking there - counter protesters (?) passed out brownies and asked students to sign a letter thanking Cheney got 400 sigs in 40 minutes.
Isn't it strange how the press always gives a number for the Anti crowd but never for the Pro crowd? Could it be that's because the Pro crowd is larger than the Antis? I'd say from the number of signatures thanking Vice President Cheney that the Pros were there in larger numbers. Same thing happened at the Gathering of Eagles.

American University Karl Rove - According to a university spokesman, as Rove tried to leave a building, he was confronted by more than a dozen protesters. Some started throwing things at Rove and his car. Others tried to block his vehicle.
American University security guards moved in and forced the protesters away so Rove could leave. Campus police described the protest as peaceful, and there were no arrests.
"Campus police say the protest was peaceful". Ok, since when is throwing objects at someone and ILLEGALLY detaining them by force "peaceful"? I think the Faculity and the rent-a-cops at American University may be closet liberals. Ya think?

Erin Conaton, the committee's staff director, sent out the 15-page memo titled "Style Guide for Defense Authorization Report."
"When referencing military operations throughout the world, please be as specific as possible. Please avoid using colloquialisms such as, 'the war on terrorism, or the 'Long War' Please do not use the term 'global war on terrorism,' " according to the memo.
Are democrats really this stupid? They really believe that by not calling the global war on terrorism the global war on terrorism it will make it not so. Terrorism is war.....this is a war on a global scale. The only Americans stupid enough to fall for this "play on words" are the ostrich-emulating defeatocrats.

Freshmen Angelopoulos and Anklesaria are both foreign citizens; Anklesaria is British and Angelopoulos is Greek. Akbar, a senior, was born in Pakistan, according to police, but is a U.S. citizen. Both Anklesaria and Angelopoulos had to turn over their passports (Yale students)
Aw come on boys will be boys. They did admit it was a stupid thing to do. I have news for them. It would have been a lot more stupid if they had set the Flag on fire in front of me. It would have been an experience they would never forget and always regret.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The lawyer and parents of an American-born Taliban soldier are asking President George W. Bush to commute his 20-year prison term.
John Walker Lindh was captured in Afghanistan in November 2001 by American forces sent to topple the Taliban after the 9/11 attacks.
He was charged with conspiring to kill Americans and supporting terrorists but pleaded guilty to lesser offenses, including carrying weapons against U.S. forces.
Lindh's lawyer and father said the one-year sentence given recently to Australian David Hicks should be reflected in Lindh's case. Attorney James Brosnahan said it's a question of fairness and proportionality.
Poor Taliban Johnny! This......animal's lawyer seems to forget, Lindh was (I repeat was) an American. He received a VERY light sentence to begin with. He should have been executed by firing squad and I would have volunteered to pull a trigger! If President Bush releases this punk, they also better deport him back to Afghanistan, because he certainly has no right to live in America! Oh yes, his Mother thinks what he did was Patriotic!!!!!?????? She says, "It helped bridge the gap between the muslims and the west." How the hell does she figure that!? Delusional? Definitely!
