Important Stuff -- Or Not: Happy Anniversary to Me

Happy Anniversary to Me

Today is the one-month anniversary of my new blog, The Truth from Iraq. The purpose of the blog is to print news that is being withheld by the mainstream media. That is proving to be quite a task, because in one month, I've posted 231 stories -- all of them good news. That's an average of 10 a day. It's pretty obvious by now that our media is corrupt. Not only do they slant the news they give, but they commit lies of omission. I've always said that 90% of the power of the press is in what they choose NOT to print. This proves my contention.

Mark said...: Erudite Redneck would have a coronary if he read this.; 8:28 AM
Lone Ranger said...: I don't know how you put up with some of the people on your site, Mark. They argue just for the sake of arguing. And they are none to polite about it. I don't have that kind of tolerance.; 6:43 PM
Mark said...: I suppose it's because they let me say stupid things on their blogs so I feel like I owe it to them to allow them to do the same.; 11:37 PM
Mark said...: Besides, many of them are professional writers and newspaper people (like ER. he is the editor of a major midwest newspaper). I consider it a compliment that my humble blog is considered worthy of argument by people of that status.

In fact, I am continually amazed that you, who I respect immensely, visit and comment on my humble blog on occasion. In your case, I am somewhat star struck.

I feel much like Chance the gardner, in the film "Being There". Totally out of my element but just going along for the ride, until my incompetemce is at last discovered by the world.; 11:47 PM
Lone Ranger said...: I guess I'm just not impressed by peoples' positions. A newspaper editor can be just as uninformed and wrong as a burger slinger. The NYT proves it all the time. But stupidity is OK with me. I draw the line at belligerence, disrespect and hostility.; 2:50 AM

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

1. Hate makes people stoopid.

2. There is nothing so impenetrable as a closed mind.

3. A stupid person is not someone who can't learn, but someone who refuses to learn.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
