We knew to was coming, but I’m disappointed (so far) at the lack of counter opinions on many of the media/movie review sites.
I mean I know that this is due in part to the fact that most Conservatives have children to take care of, (because they didn’t abort them all) & because they have jobs they need to go to instead of having their hand out as a Liberal minion, or being one of those who spend their all time making sure the successful vote buying of the Democrats continues. I realize that these who collect welfare at the expense of those who are at work all day, do have more time to sit home & write more negative reviews on Ben Stein’s brilliant movie “Expelled”. However, we need to take time to defend truth, since these attackers are only interested in squashing it to protect their world views, their Government grants, & their welfare checks.
One thing that has been missed in the debate is this; How can you advocate liberal style “separation” of church & state, & then dutifully investigate intelligent design as a so called “scientist”?
The answer is, you can’t! Something has to give, or you don’t get any grant money. This is one of the reasons they hate the idea, & would rather stay in their little financial & ideological comfort zones!
The fact that these people don’t like the movie doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is the blatant lying they do while writing their reviews. Like one reviewer on Apple.com who said; “Darwin didn’t cause the Holocaust.” Nowhere in Stein’s movie does he say that Darwinism alone was sufficient to lead to the events. In fact, in the movie Stein himself says that though many of the principles of Darwin were believed by Hitler, he doesn’t think that was the only factor that led to the Holocaust. Other’s interviewed in the movie came to the same conclusion.
What is amazing to me is how badly todays Scientists have turned on science itself, & traded in the principled questioning & searching for answers, for the protection of their own political, social or religious ideologies. For instance, like it or not, their atheism is a “faith” of sorts. It takes faith to believe anything that you weren’t around to see. Scientists & Darwinists can cry all they want but that’s a fact they can’t change no matter how hard they try.
Most notably in Steins movie, the flagship or Darwinism Richard Dawkins is cornered by logic itself, into admitting that Intelligent design is possible. On a comical note though, he feebly tries to save face for the movement by suggesting that a superior race of beings could have created the first cell & then disappeared. Yes, he actually suggested Aliens were possibly responsible, but yet he call those who believe in God delusional?
Huh? If they were superior to us or God, then where did they go? & where did they come from in the first place? What did they make the cell from?
Very disappointing showing by Mr. Dawkins to say the least. It was almost sad to watch him reduced to intellectual cannon fodder by Ben Stein.
In any case, you need to ignore the flood of leftist reviews that are trying to slander the movie, & silence it. (You know, those leftist champions of free speech & the media.)
Yes, they want to silence Ben Stein, & anyone who they don’t agree with. The movie stands on it’s own, & I’d encourage anyone to go see it & make up your own mind, instead of listening to fascist liberals who will go as far as to blatantly lie about it, to convince people not to go.
I do however also encourage you to look around the web & read their venomous reviews. Ask yourself why they are so angry? Why so viscous? What are they so afraid of? If the movie is so ridiculous & pointless as they claim, then why are they spending their time defending Darwin & attacking Ben Stein’s “Expelled” so veraciously?
It’s because they want to pontificate to you about what’s suitable for your viewing, & tell you what you should watch. Didn’t Hitler burn books? Create a state run media? Try to control the knowledge & communication?
Go see the movie while you live in a country where you can make up your own mind. Because if you don’t? There will come a day where the right you didn’t exercise, becomes a right you’ve lost.
Jimmy Naifeh once again deciding for everyone, & making sure he can pressure gun owners/advocates with passive aggressive tactics.
Yes, he may have the power to pull underhanded political maneuvers that slap law abiding gun owners in the face, but obviously it’s an abuse of his power.
The Tennessean in Nashville and The Roanoke Times in Virginia. Both published online searchable databases of gun-permit holders last year, before quickly removing the data. In Roanoke’s case, it published the names and home addresses of law enforcement officers and judges.
It was a stupid & dangerous act. (As you read on, you’ll see that there’s a theme with stupid & dangerous Democrats.)
If medical records can be kept private to protect people from discrimination, then why can’t one’s gun permit status be also? Will employers start using this to discriminate against those who legally own & carry a firearm, just because someone in management is anti-gun?
That is unfortunately a real possiblity. Of course that’s exactly what anti-gun moonbats like Neifeh are hoping for. This is not the first time Naifeh has taken a shot at gun owners in Tennessee, & it won’t be the last unless you vote him out. He’s a political loose cannon, & of course he has armed security himself, & they can take their guns anywhere he asks them to. He also opposed legislation that would effectively let Iraq war vets who need mental health treatment renew their hand gun permits.
Rep. Nathan Vaughn, D-Kingsport, said the NRA contacted him about sponsoring the bill, and he thought it made sense.
“A lot of folks who are going into Iraq are coming back, and there is some period of adjustment. … Some of the folks are saying ‘I know if I have to get some mental health treatment, I’m not going to be eligible to continue my handgun carry permit,’” Vaughn said. “It’s just kind of tragic. … They are out there fighting for this country, and all kinds of negative things are happening to them when they come back home. We need to be doing more to help them. … We’re afraid that honest people just ought not have guns, that somehow only criminals ought to be the ones to have guns, and I just think that’s wrong.”
Effectively, this is what Naifeh has conveyed to returning Iraq War Veterans:
“Thank you for fighting for our, & getting mentally & physically wounded in the process. Now give me your gun & call the cops if someone tries to carjack you & shoot you on the way to your therapy sessions, ok?.”
The House Criminal Practice and Procedure Subcommittee has more Democratic lawmakers than Republicans. House Speaker Jimmy Naifeh, D-Covington, was also in Wednesday’s subcommittee meeting considering several pieces of handgun legislation, including Vaughn’s. Naifeh can cast votes in any subcommittee or committee meeting.
All of those bills failed, thanks to his abusive pontifications.
The meeting began with a Comedy Central video, introduced by state Rep. Rob Briley, D-Nashville, that parodied one bill to allow gun permit holders to carry guns into places where alcohol is served.
Rob Briley? Are you kidding? That rat scumbag drunk driver really had the nerve to open his mouth about “dangerous weapons”, & mock gun owners after getting in a car recently, smashing it into to other vehicles, & then refusing to stop for the police? Let’s have a look at Rob Briley, who drove a deadly weapon amongst innocents while intoxicated, shall we? (see videos of him verbally assaulting the police, & trying to kick the window out of their cruiser after his recent arrests.)
Here’s a couple videos of Democrat Rob Briley that should REALLY be on comedy central! Somehow I doubt he’ll show these in session though..
There are also signs that the government in Tennessee is looking to further restrict, & you can bet eventually abolish our second amendment rights altogether, as is evidenced by the Jackson Tennessee library imposing it’s wisdom that a criminal will obey their no “no gun” signs, & play fair in the library, because law abiding gun owners left theirs outside. If a bad guy tries to hurt anyone in the library in Jackson, just remember to tell them “No fair! I left my gun outside!”
As I predicted, only Minutes after I posted this story, FoxNews.com has given their top spot back to the UNI shooter story. The story whereby more people were murdered with an automobile or automobiles, will now be shoved to the back burner, as blaming violence on guns is much more popular & a ratings booster.
*end update*
___________________________________________________
OK will all due respect to the victims of both of these indeed horrible tragedies, I must take this opportunity to point out the hypocrisy of the mainstream media as a whole, & other anti-gun advocates.
Seven people were killed this morning & four injured, after a car plowed into crowd gathered to watch illegal early morning drag race on suburban Maryland road. More proof that people kill people, & not guns, or cars for that matter. Are we to take away cars from everyone now, because this driver was a moron?
Some will say, You can’t call this murder! That’s not right! It was an accident!
Was it?
Who’s going to be the first idiot to step forward & tell me that everyone doesn’t know, or at least shouldn’t really have to know, that if they lose control of their car while racing by a crowd, they could kill someone? *insert cricket sounds here*
Hours after the accident on the divided highway in Accokeek, bodies covered in white sheets were scattered along what police were calling a 200-yard crime scene. Some were in the road, while others were on the shoulder. Sounds a lot like the scenes at these mass shootings doesn’t it? Yet the media is treating this crime with kid gloves, because well.. Everyone has a car, including the media!
Will the mainstream media paste the driver’s face up on the front page of every news paper, website & cable news network, & bring us into the intimate details of his past? Will they dig into whether or not his car was bought at the same dealer as other cars that were involved in crimes? Don’t count on it.
This vehicular murder is a perfect example of the twisted bias against gun owners that the media has. Today, more people were killed by a single automobile than a shooter who had four guns in an auditorium of captive victims, but you won’t hear the media suggesting that we take away everyone’s cars (Yet). Had the crowd been longer, deeper & wider, there would have been even more killed.
So watch as this story develops, & I guarantee you it will go from it’s already smaller space on the front page, than the UNI shooting space, to a little bitty link on the back page somewhere on the MSM websites. Guns Bad People Good? Cars Bad People Good?
NO I’m afraid not Main Stream Media. Some People Bad, but honest reporting? Makes us all closer to Good. People kill people, not guns or cars or swords or school bus ownership for that matter.
What do you do when a person gets Cancer? Well in a nutshell, you bring them as close to death as you can without killing them, in hopes of taking out the Cancer. Why? Because you Love them, & you want to save them. With cancer it’s done by either bombarding their body with radiation, or feeding them chemical poisons. It’s scary, it’s hard, it’s painful to both endure & watch, but it’s sometimes the only chance you have to save them. Sometimes it works, & other times it does not. That’s the cycle of life, & only God knows all the reasons behind it.
Such is our situation with the Republican party, with one exception, & that is that if it fails, even man will be able to understand every reason it did. McCain & Huckabee while not the embodiment of evil, are indeed a Cancer on the Republican party because they have betrayed it so many times with their policy positions.
They both believe (again in a NUTshell) that it is possible to compromise with the Liberal democrats, when recent history in fact points to a different reality.
There are violent ideological terrorists, & then there are those who socially & violently terrorize us by stealing our hard earned resources, & raping, killing & stealing the identities of others.
McCain & Huckabee have both on several occasions, suggested compromise with Illegal Aliens on our soil, & moving terrorists from our military prisons, to the U.S. (Guantanamo) where they would then have rights to our civilian legal process.
Do you remember Leon Klinghoffer? Well let me remind you if you don’t. On the afternoon of October 8, 1985, four Palestinian militants, who had hijacked the cruise ship Achille Lauro, shot Leon Klinghoffer in the forehead and chest while he was sitting in his wheelchair. He was 69 years old.
Leon Klinghoffer didn’t get a trial or “due process.” Leon Klinghoffer got a bullet in the forhead & chest just because he was a Jew, & then got thrown overboard like he was some kind of trash.
These are things that apparently Mr. Huckabee & Mr. McCain have seen fit to forgive & forget on our behalf, & to the point of having no problem with bringing these murderous psychotics onto our soil. Because of “negotiation” it took us until April 15, 2003 to capture the man responsible for Klinghoffer’s murder, Muhammad Zaydan a.k.a. Abū ‘Abbās, who was being sheltered by Saddam Hussein (something the left doesn’t like to discuss.)
Well you know what? I’ve had enough of it, & I don’t want to support spineless politicians who call themselves Republicans & Conservatives, if they aren’t going to put American citizens first.
They may have forgotten men like Leon Klinghoffer who were mowed down in their wheelchair by cowards with guns & no souls, but I have not. Now they want to bring those cowards to our soil where leftist judges can give them trials & potentially turn them out onto our streets so they can continue their murderous rampages against more Americans.
On Huckabee’s concessions for illegal aliens? I’d like him to watch the video below, about this police offer who was a two time cancer survivor, but did not survive being shot by a illegal alien who was deported twice, & just came back in like he owned the place. You watch this video & decide if we can afford Mike Huckabee or John McCain, or as I believe, it’s time to flush out the Republican party, & start over.
So after watching the video above, if you still want to accuse me of having “McCain or Huckabee estrangement syndrome”, go right ahead, but at least I will sleep well at night knowing I’m on the side of the families who have been brutalized by these constant capitulations, by political jellyfish who can’t even bring themselves to sting the true enemies of our Nation. Watch here as Huckabee is once again exposed on giving illegals amnesty, raising taxes, & releasing murderers to murder again. None of these things reflect conservative values.. (See video below)
Who ever is not for us, is indeed against us, whether intentionally or not. I will not vote for those who capitulate to terrorists, domestic, foreign, hybrid, or otherwise. For those of you who use the logic that we’d be giving up the election to people who are even worse, I have news for you.. The only difference between McCain/Huckabee & Obama/Hillary after you give them the keys to the White House, will be the (R) or (D) in front of their names. It’s time to cut out the tumors people, no matter how bad it hurts. ~Dan Lee
I mean I could write a lot about this, but I think it’s more effective for you to watch the video below featuring John McCain’s Spanish Outreach Director, Open Borders Juan Hernandez. If McCain gets in, they’ll have us exchanging Mexican money at every business in the US, & you can bet that if you want english, you’ll have to press 2 some day soon.
Some of John McCain’s good buddies.
Russ Feingold.
Teddy Kennedy.
Lindsay Grahamnesty.
Juan “Mexico First/Free Flow” Hernandez. (Who was pretty silent when THIS murder happened)
Jerry “Spanish first” Perenchio. Geraldo Rivera.
La Raza.
Hillary Clinton
Charles Keating.
John Kerry.
The New York Times.
Some other Endorsements that should make any Republican or Conservative run as fast as they can away from McCain.
Los Angeles Times
The Chicago Tribune and Philadelphia Inquirer made their endorsements for:
Tribune: McCain and Obama.
Inquirer: McCain and Obama.
I either vote Romney this point, or as I promised, I write in Michelle Malkin; eligible or not.. ~ Dan Lee I leave with the idiocy & inverted logic of Juan Hernandez:
Compare the two stories at these links, & notice that the NY Times says that Syndey Blumenthal was going “more than 20 miles over the speed limit“, while other stories say that he was “driving 70 mph in a 30 mile per hour zone”. Which one sounds less negative? The whitewashed NY Times version of course. The New York Times also omits Blumenthal’s initial less than truthful statement to the police.
Although he was driving the opposite direction, Blumenthal, 59, told Sgt. Masella he had just left Manchester and was trying to get to his hotel.
“I said ‘You’re coming from a different area,’ and he admitted he was lost,” Masella said
The NY Times omits the fact that Blumenthal refused to take a Breathalyzer. This is one of the most blatant examples of a liberal media whitewash I’ve ever seen. Click the links & read for yourself, why the NY Times & the old liberal media guard, cannot be trusted as far as you could throw their print presses.
Let Hillary’s own words judge her. Why didn’t she fire her senior aide & campaign adviser, the day he was caught drinking & driving? Was it to save her NH primary bid? But of course!
“It only takes a split second for a tragedy to occur.” - Hillary Clinton (1999) speaking at a White House event while campaigning for her NY Senate bid.
Will she want drivers licenses given back to Drunk Drivers next? A question also beckons, since Sydney Blumenthal is a national figure, is punishment in NH alone going to matter very much to him since he presumably drives all over the nation? So what if they take his license away in NH, he’ll probably not be there again for years. If found guilty, he needs to be punished in a way that has some tangible consequences for him, lest we send a message that national political figures are “above the law” à la Ted Kennedy. ~Dan Lee
All I can say is, WOW! Who knew what, & when did they know it? It sure looks like what the mainstream media buried this one until AFTER the N.H. Primary. If this were a Republican’s Senior Campaign adviser, they would have surely pasted it all over every media outlet they could find, ASAP, & definitely the day before the Primary. Sydney Blumenthal, of “vast, right-wing conspiracy” quote & Clinton aide fame, was caught driving drunk & recklessly 1 day BEFORE the NH primary.
Clinton Adviser Arrested in New Hampshire on DWI Charge
by FOXNews.com
Saturday, January 12, 2008
A senior adviser to Hillary Clinton was arrested in Nashua, N.H., on charges of aggravated driving while intoxicated the day before the Jan. 8 primary, FOX News has confirmed.
Sidney Blumenthal, longtime friend and senior adviser to presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y. was allegedly driving a rented car north on Concord Street at a speed of 70 mph when Nashua Police Sgt. Mike Masella decided to stop it at about 12:30 a.m. Monday.
“That’s kinda fast,” Masella said, adding that the speed limit was 30 mph.
Kinda fast Sgt. Masella?? Wouldn’t any other citizen have been charged specifically with “driving to endanger” or “reckless driving”, as well as aggravated DUI?
But because this was a national media darling, the Police seemed to have handled him with Kid Gloves..
The drunk Sydney Blumenthal lies to the Officer here:
Although he was driving the opposite direction, Blumenthal, 59, told Masella he had just left Manchester and was trying to get to his hotel.
“I said ‘You’re coming from a different area,’ and he admitted he was lost,” Masella said.
The scandal ridden Clinton machine strikes again. It will be interesting to see what kind of consequences he’ll actually face. In NH the refusal to submit to a Breathalyzer test is admissible in court. He of course refused a Breathalyzer so as to give his lawyers a fighting chance to exonerate him at any cost. Can we really afford to elect a President who chooses staffers like this? A guy who endangers other people by driving 40 mi. over the speed limit, & in a residential area while driving drunk?
Hopefully voters are learning to anticipate this kind of behavior from the Clinton machine, & they will respond accordingly by sending a strong message to Mrs. Clinton in the upcoming primaries.
~Dan Lee
Update: (though not a suprise)
As of 1:34 pm Saturday 1/12/08
CNN.com is so far ignoring the story, while bringing us more useful items like this poll on their main page:
Quick Vote
Should Britney Spears be forced to get help?
Yes
No
or see results
A Google news search is so far showing that only bloggers & Fox News have had enough integrity to report this important story. Go figure huh Helen Thomas?
Update 1/12/08 6:55 PM
Newsweek who as I understand originally carried the story to a national level, has put a very gratuitous Hillary Clinton campaign video (lower right) on the same page as the Blumenthal drunk driving story.
