The same day that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared at a conference in Tehran entitled “The World without Zionism” that Israel should be destroyed, an Islamic Jihad suicide attacker murdered at least five people in the Israeli city of Hadera. No doubt Ahmadinejad had this kind of thing in mind when he stated that “there is no doubt that the new wave (of attacks) in Palestine will wipe off this stigma (Israel) from the face of the Islamic world”: if he condemns attacks against civilian non-combatants, he has kept it to himself.
Imagine if George W. Bush had announced that he intended to wipe Iraq, or any other nation, off the map: the domestic and international outcry that would follow would effectively end his presidency.

When will the Dem's Search and Destroy mentality cease, and real concern for the nation return? Not only do they hypocritically pursue tactics that they claimed and had temper-tantrums over during the Clinton administration, they have NO new ideas only the same ole "right to choose to kill a baby but not to choose which party our union dues supports" maentality.

title: Congress Clashes Over Digital TV Conversion Deadline
written by: Naitze Teng
date: October 27, 2005

The Senate Commerce Committee approved legislation last week requiring television stations to switch their broadcasts from analog to digital by April 7, 2009. Current law stipulates that the transition be made by December 31, 2006 or once 85 percent of households have adopted digital television, whichever comes later. While the April 2009 deadline seems to delay the move to digital, the New York Times reports that less than half of homes now actually have digital signals so it could force the transition to happen sooner.

Still others are pushing for the conversion to happen even sooner given recent national disasters like Katrina and 9-11. Senator John McCain wants the conversion to happen by 2007, thereby freeing the analog spectrum for emergency officials. Of course television manufacturers would also like to see a closer deadline in order to drive sales up. The House Energy and Commerce Committee for one just approved a measure that goes against the Senate Committee’s decision, requiring television stations to end analog broadcasts by December 31, 2008.

For any advancement to take place, House and Senate need to resolve their differences. Both agree that not enough households have adopted digital television so far, but present very different solutions. The Senate bill proposes making three billion dollars in subsidies available to consumers purchasing conversion boxes to make their analog sets useable. The House sets aside substantially less for the same purpose; only $990 million which deterrents say just isn’t enough considering even households that currently have one digital television might also have multiple analog sets.

Pushing back the transition date just delays the inevitable. If given more time odds are lagging consumers will sit on it – they need a more pressing reason like losing the ability to watch television to compel them to get a new set.


"We are witnessing the criminalization of conservative politics."

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 - Lawyers in the C.I.A. leak case said Thursday that they expected I. Lewis Libby Jr., Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, to be indicted on Friday, charged with making false statements to the grand jury.

Karl Rove, President Bush's senior adviser and deputy chief of staff, will not be charged on Friday, but will remain under investigation, people briefed officially about the case said. As a result, they said, the special counsel in the case, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, was likely to extend the term of the federal grand jury beyond its scheduled expiration on Friday.

Do they really care if he may or may not have engaged in a practice that their own politicians invented and perfected, or are they so smug that they just want to hang him because he's a Republican and to liberals the ends justify the means?

Target Corporation will continue to ban the Salvation Army from their 1,351 stores this Christmas season. The Army will not be allowed to place their red kettles in front of Target stores. Despite increased need caused by the hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Target continues to bar the Salvation Army. Many observers feel that the ban by Target is a result of pressure put on the company by homosexual groups. Homosexual activists have targeted the Salvation Army for years because of the Army's refusal to recognize their lifestyle. Target is a supporter of various homosexual causes. While Target contributes to homosexual groups, the company publicly states that they will not contribute to any religious groups. For Target, homosexual organizations are worthy of financial support, Christian and Jewish organizations are not.

⁷"Teacher," they asked, "when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?"

⁸He replied: "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them. ⁹When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away."

¹⁰Then he said to them: "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. ¹¹There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
