Just thought I would blog this. He (President Bush) looked and sounded great in the "question and answer" format a couple of days ago... However, this is a press conference and I will admit that he doesn't look as comfortable in this type scenario...
FOXNews.com - Politics News - Bush to Hold Press ConferenceThe president likely will continue to defend the use of wiretaps against some people inside the United States. His authorization of the National Security Agency program to conduct electronic surveillance against people inside the United States if they communicate with Al Qaeda-linked individuals overseas has come under fire recently from Democrats who say Bush overstepped his legal bounds.
Continuing the "Bush defends......" topic, I thought I would share this. I am not sure I agree with the use of 'defends', and believe the MSM uses it to give the impression the President is on the ropes -- he is NOT, but I am for him EXPLAINING his position.
VOA News - Bush Continues to Defend Domestic Spying Program"The terrorists will do everything they can to strike us, and I am going to continue to do everything I can within my legal authority to stop them," said Mr. Bush.

Michael Moore strikes again criticizing President Bush and the US and ensuring a conservative victory -- thanks Michael, keep it going!
Michael Moore disappointed by Harper victory“Do you want to help George Bush by turning Canada into his latest conquest? Is that how you want millions of us down here to see you from now on? The next notch in the cowboy belt? C'mon, where's your Canadian pride? I mean, if you're going to reduce Canada to a cheap download of Bush & Co., then at least don't surrender so easily. Can't you wait until he threatens to bomb Regina? Make him work for it, for Pete's sake.”

Ms Howell must have been been absent these last five years if this "hate" is a surprise. In response to the "hate mail" (see this
post) she and the Washington Post got she seem oblivious to the fact this type hate has been directed at Republican politicians, Republican voters, and conservative journalist for sometime now. Maybe Ms. Howell only becomes aware of such hate when the far "left loonies" turn on her and the Washington Post. I would suggest she open her eyes and ears and listen to the comparison to Hitler, the wishes for death expressed for our President, and see the pies and such thrown at conservative speakers... Maybe if a little attention is paid to these details she and the 'Post' would not be so surprised.
The Firestorm Over My Column But it is profoundly distressing if political discourse has sunk to a level where abusive name-calling and the crudest of sexual language are the norm, where facts have no place in an argument. This unbounded, unreasoning rage is not going to help this newspaper, this country or democracy.

Aw is the "wittle" babies turning on their own? Be careful what you wish for... This demonstrates a fundamental difference between conservatives and liberals.

Canadian Liberals face loss after 12 years in power WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) - Canadian political leaders on Sunday made one last cross-country dash on the eve of an election expected to oust the ruling Liberals, move Canada to the right and improve ties with the United States. With polls showing a steady lead of 7 to 12 percentage points, the Conservatives sounded increasingly confident, though it looked like they would fall short of a majority in Parliament and have to depend on other parties.

I do recommend this film, although considering the message and content I believe casting could have chosen someone other then
Chad Allen to play the staring roll. By using Mr. Allen the Lord shows He can and does use anyone to deliver His message.

You might try making more movies like this. A good and well made movie that was shunned by the "establishment". Hey, Hollywood get a clue!
Plot Summary for End of the Spear (2006)"End of the Spear" is the story of Mincayani, a Waorani tribesman from the jungles of Ecuador. When five young missionaries, among them Jim Elliot and Nate Saint, are speared to death by the Waorani in 1956, a series of events unfold to change the lives of not only the slain missionaries' families, but also Mincayani and his people.
Just take a look at these two movies on Google -- one has nine (9) reviews one has sixty-three (63)... Want to speculate why the one was basically shunned by the "Hollywood establishment? Hint: Missionaries, God, etc.

I love movies, but have not attended or rented many lately. I have a hint for the movie industry -- instead of cutting production you might try making movies for the majority instead of forcing the minority view down our throat and stop attempting to make a political statement. You are only movie makers selling a product, after all!
Variety.com - Hedge your bets Substantially fewer films will be produced over the next year or two. And a significant portion of the production costs of the reduced slate will be borne by hedge funds and other investment groups.

One of the innocent, or so called innocent, present at the predawn airstrike last Friday -- a Master Bomb Maker. Hmm, innocent?

It appears that there were indeed terrorist present when the predawn strike took place last Friday... I don't understand all present were innocent, none deserved to die -- right. Like I
asked Sunday.
"What if I invited a multiple murder to my house for dinner oh and had no intention of notifying the authorities that he/she would be there? To carry this further while we were eating law enforcement shows up and all heck breaks out, hostages are taken, a standoff ensues, and people die -- would liberal America be crying for me?"
Pakistan says 4 terrorists killed in U.S. strike - International Terrorism - MSNBC.com PESHAWAR, Pakistan - At least four foreign terrorists died in the U.S. airstrike on a Pakistani border village that was purportedly aimed at al-Qaida’s No. 2 leader, the provincial government said Tuesday.

But she acknowledged that nothing emerged during last week's hearings to justify any organized action by Democrats to stall the nomination.
