More on geography teacher
Most of the articles in the maimstream media make it sound like this teacher is in trouble for merely criticizing Bush… the school has taken this approach…
"...We do want teachers to express their opinions, but to put that in context and to provide opposing points of view," said Amole. "All discussion must be fair and balanced."
So if a teacher wanted to discuss, let's say, his opinion on the scientific flaws in current evolutionary thinking, the administrators would have no problems? They would have no problem if a teacher wanted to discuss the importance of Christianity in the founding of the US?
Bill Clinton helped Dubai on ports deal
March 1 2006 -Bill Clinton, former US president, advised top officials from Dubai two weeks ago on how to address growing US concerns over the acquisition of five US container terminals by DP World.
...Mr Clinton, who this week called the United Arab Emirates a “good ally to America”, advised Dubai’s leaders to propose a 45-day delay to allow for an intensive investigation of the acquisition, according to his spokesman.
...Mr Clinton’s contact with Dubai on the issue underscores the relationship he has developed with the United Arab Emirates since leaving office. In 2002, he was paid $300,000 (€252,000) to address a summit in Dubai...

Pro-military mom silenced by mainstream media
Mar 2, 2006- A grieving mother of a soldier killed in Iraq wants to voice her opinion. She has a message about the war in Iraq and feels the American people need to hear what she has to say.
Her name is Merrilee Carlson and her story is compelling and newsworthy. Unlike another mother of a fallen soldier, Carlson is not a household name. Her message is exactly opposite of the over-exposed message of the well-known protesting mom…
In the last couple of weeks the organization that Carlson chairs, Minnesota Families United http://familiesunitedmission.com/minnesota/ , has been in the center of a controversy that, by any objective reasoning, should have made national news.
Minnesota Families United teamed with Progress for America Voter Fund and produced two television spots. Minnesota was used as a test market for the spots and PFA made a rather large statewide television buy. The ABC affiliate in the Twin Cities market, KSTP, refused to air the spots.
The decision not to air the first MFU commercial was made by Rob Hubbard, General Manager. His objection was over two lines in the spot:
1) The media only reports the bad news, but American troops are making real progress2) You would never know it from the news reports, but our enemy in Iraq is Al Qaeda.
Hubbard’s position was that those lines did not apply to his television station; therefore, he would not allow the spot to run. Hubbard says he would have run the spot if they edited it to make it clear they were talking about the media in general, but not KSTP specifically.
…On Thursday, February 16th, the Chair of the Democrat Party in Minnesota called on all TV stations to pull the ad. The top Democrats in Minnesota want to suppress the message of Carlson’s group.
Merrilee Carlson was born and raised a Democrat. She doesn’t like politics and she wants to make it clear that her group is non-political. So, the Democrats in Minnesota are trying to suppress the message from mainstream families who have suffered the loss of their children from the war in Iraq. Why is this not news?
…Obviously, the mainstream media is going to do everything they can to avoid Carlson. They are not interested in balancing her view against the anti-war view they have so heavily promoted. We already knew the media was liberally biased… http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/ToddManzi/2006/03/02/188064.html
Video Shows Bush Warned Before Katrina Hit ….ooooooooooh!
Mar 2, 2006 -WASHINGTON (AP) -- On the eve of Hurricane Katrina's fateful landfall, President Bush was confident. His homeland security chief appeared relaxed. Louisiana officials were heaping praise on the federal government.
And warnings of the coming destruction - breached or overrun levees, deaths at the New Orleans Superdome and overwhelming needs for post-storm rescues - were delivered in dramatic terms to all involved.
All of it was captured on videotape....The Associated Press obtained the confidential government video and made it public Wednesday...
...The video prompted Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill to reiterate their calls for a new investigation into the federal response to Katrina. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California said Thursday the video "points out the need for an independent commission" to review events surrounding the hurricane.
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said the video "confirms what we have suspected all along, that this Administration did anything they can to hide what really happened." He said the administration "systematically misled the American people."
(the only problem with this article is the Whitehouse gave the press the tape August 28 to show they were acting on the data they had. The real question is why did the AP sit on the tape so long and why bother to air it now?)
