My friends, and fellow MNDers, today I discovered a recently written article in The Journal of American Culture entitled “”In My Day It Used to Be Called a Limp Wrist”: Flip-Floppers, Nelly Boys, and Homophobic Rhetoric in the 2004 US Presidential Campaign.” I am very sorry to say that I cannot link you to it for free, but send me an email and I’ll explain. W.C. Harris, the author of this essay along with others such as “Broke(n)back Faggots: Hollywood Offers Queers a Hobson’s Choice,” and “Queer Eye on the Prize: The Stereotypical Sodomites of Summer,” sets his deconstructive eyes on this illustrious website via a couple of specific works—one by this commentator and another by Jim Manion. Our attacker, a professor of English and Gay Studies at Shippenberg University, does not think very much of Mr. LaSalle’s endeavor and dismisses his near decade of work as “an online oubliette of chauvinism one might think had been left behind in the 1950s or at least in the Robert Bly workshops of the 1990s.” Yet his statement only serves to illustrate just how gynocentric our present day society has become because, in the PC world, presumptive oppressors like men are forbidden from defending themselves. When they do, they are branded “anti-woman” or “chauvinist” which is exactly what Mr. Harris does in his essay. At any rate, due to two errors in particular, I decided to email the fine scholar and his Editor. I’ll keep you posted as to whether I hear anything back or not.

11/20/06

Dear Mr. Harris and Editor Kathy Merlock Jackson,

I would like to first express my gratitude for mentioning my name along with the online journal for which I write, Mensnewsdaily.com, in your September issue of The Journal of American Culture. I realize that our worldviews are contrasting, but, regardless of theoretical disagreement, I respect your diversity nonetheless. That my work was critiqued negatively is perfectly acceptable as you have a right to your opinion about all things, but I did want to call to your attention two errors of fact for which I would like a retraction and an apology.

1. Mr. Harris’s statement:

The fact that by the time of Chapin’s article Saddam Hussein’s capability of launching a surprise nuclear attack on the United States at a moment’s notice had been thoroughly disproved seems to have little impact on Chapin’s logic. Quick, unconsidered action is good, period, no matter the reality or level of threat.

Never once in that article, nor in any other, have I ever advocated for “quick, unconsidered action.” That would be ridiculous. I would never recommend such a practice. In a crisis, one must take into account all the available evidence and options before making a decision. One should act quickly, efficiently, but also survey all the information and intelligence available. When the country is at risk we need leaders who act, not those who ruminate like Hamlet. Your description of my position was a blatant misrepresentation.

2. Mr. Harris’s statement: “Because Chapin equates logic and reason with emotion all of which are bad (though in characterizing stoics as impulsive Chapin reveals another facet of his ignorance),” is totally inaccurate. Never once in my entire life have I ever, in any context, equated reason with emotion. Logos is what makes us distinctly human. It is the major human characteristic which enabled our civilization to be built. I would no sooner denigrate logic than I would Winston Churchill. No one who has ever met me or read me would think otherwise. Equating reason with emotion is something I simply would never do—not here, not in an article, not in daily speech, or even in my dreams. It would not be much of an exaggeration to say that my entire intellectual life has been built the distinction. Furthermore, I have never once advocated for impulsivity being of benefit to leaders. This is a gross fabrication. I believe that a leader should act forcefully when his or her country is endangered, but they should never act impulsively. As far as my ignorance is concerned, the truly ignorant person is one who has absolutely no respect for his opposition, and this is far truer of Mr. Harris than it is of me. Mr. Harris must think that his ideological enemies spend all their time swinging from branches and never take the time to read. He is mistaken, but that can be the only explanation for his making claims totally rooted in fantasy.

Editor Jackson, despite you disdain for my positions, I think you should juxtapose my article with his characterization of it. When you do, you’ll see that I am right.

Additionally, for the sake of argument, I would like to refute three other parts of the essay:

1. Sentences from my piece are chosen and recited in one open grouping with the justifications intentionally cloven away. This is not unethical, but I do think it is rather pusillanimous. The only possible reason for citing these sentences in such a fashion is to deny them their power and context. With the justifications for the conclusions deleted, it then becomes far easier for an author to propagandize. In my day, we used to call those who were afraid of honest resuscitation…cowards.

2. In the notes the following is stated,

Bernard Chapin’s characterization of feminism is similarly overblown, though infinitely more tasteless and clinically paranoid: “Once again we see that radical feminism is little different from Nazism in that you substitute ‘Jew’ for ‘white male’ and get the same evil product” (par. 1). Rarely has the odious subtext of the “Feminazi” slur been so vividly realized.

Dubbing my argument “odious” fails to refute it. Radical feminism is totalitarian, socialist, and Manichean—just like Nazism. Female supremacy is intrinsic to their view of the world. Like many other politically correct, pseudo-academic endeavors, radical feminism eschews all nuance. The male is the cause of war, rape, and murder along with all the world’s suffering. The female is the source of love, empathy, nurturance, fidelity, and a bunch of other things both present and absent in individual humans, but which are never decided by genitalia alone. The radical feminist, unlike the equity feminist, views man as her sworn enemy. They seek to disadvantage him at every turn. Their attitude towards men is that they are inferior by birth which is the same attitude Hitler had toward the Jews.

3. As far as my being a “low level” conservative, that point is conceded. As far as my being a conservative “hack,” that point is untrue. I have never been the pawn of any party. In fact, since 2003, I stopped considering myself a Republican due to our president’s failure to support immigration restriction, lust for statism, and affirmation of affirmative action. I remain a conservative, but will vote Libertarian until the Republican Party again becomes the party of conservatives.

Therefore, for the above reasons I believe the journal and Mr. Harris owe me an apology and partial retraction. Mr. Harris, regardless of sexual orientation, apologizing is the manly thing for you to do. Ms. Jackson, if you’d like to use my letter for any reason you have my express written permission, and if you’d like a more thorough response or debate in the future then I am at your service.

Sincerely Yours,

Bernard Chapin

I can think of few topics which bring about more despair and exasperation than our country’s docile acceptance of unfettered immigration. What makes the subject all the more perplexing and disturbing is that the solution to the conundrum is blatantly obvious. We now have more people arriving than we possibly need or are able to support—given the benefits upon which they are bestowed upon entry—and enacting serious restrictions or even a fairly liberal annual quota figure could make the problem go away within a generation or two. Yet, regardless of the ease with which it could be solved, our politicians are steadfast in their refusal to help the people; the same people who were duped into electing them in the first place.

Pat Buchanan’s new book, State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America, does a better job than any other of illustrating the futility of the current situation. It is a foregone conclusion that no welfare state can embrace open borders for very long and continue to survive. It is only human nature for us to want something for nothing, and any nation dumb enough to make publicly known its “take all comers” masochistic proclivities will quickly become saturated with immigrants—which is exactly what happened to the United States since the 1960s. By winking at illegals and having no real policy with which to separate those we want from those we do not, indigenous labor and earnings are transferred to outsiders as payment for medical bills, education, and welfare. The exponentially rising numbers of new arrivals then provide government with a ready excuse to expand itself and enable it to steal yet more of our earnings in the name of social [in]justice.

In light of the public’s growing resentment why do our elites permit this madness continue? Generally, a politician’s avoidance of key issues lasts right up until the time they sense they may get thrown out of office, but Buchanan does a masterful job of outlining the way in which political correctness, along with its necessary precondition of white guilt, is the major factor behind our elites’ willing complicity in our man-made cultural and economic implosion. White guilt can be defined as the fantastic phenomenon whereby Caucasian Americans, as a result of their being indoctrinated to view slavery and wars of conquest as being unique to western man, are psychological debilitated from taking up their own defense. Of course, feeling guilty about things you haven’t personally done is ludicrous, particularly in this case. Foul acts like murder, slavery, and wanton destruction are ubiquitous to humanity, and were committed by peoples all over the world since the beginning of time. That our youth actually buy into this non-sense is a stunning example of just how politicized the field of education has become. Our history has been altered to include a “somebody to blame” link at the bottom of every page, and, due to the despicable machinations of racist radicals, that someone always has a pale face and urinates from the standing position. When these lies about history are combined with the Big Education’s reflexive habit of boosting self-esteem for no discernible reason, a lethal combination is derived. Today’s Caucasians leave school regarding minorities as pawns for the saving rather than as independently functioning men and women with the same desires as everybody else.

White Guilt: How Blacks and Whites Together Destroyed the Promise of the Civil Rights Era is cited several times in these pages, and Shelby Steele’s conclusions regarding Anglo politicians are irrefutable. They vilify the attributes of their own kind while exalting the characteristics of others as a means of self-purification, to absolve themselves of personal guilt, and also to regain moral authority over their opponents. Our self-promoting “leaders” would rather forge reputations as citizens of the world than better the lives of their constituents because acting against one’s interests makes one a knight within the sensitivity state. Their self-defilement will probably not be appreciated by those who conquer (or re-conquer as the case may be) our nation in less than a century’s time. In the new Diversomaniacal USA, the indigenous population has no right to judge others or to assert their values upon immigrants no matter what they do. It will not be long before practices which we currently consider discriminatory and prejudicial will become allowable due to an all encompassing mandate to defer to the other. The words of Charles Peguy have never been more apropos: “It will never be known what acts of cowardice have been motivated by the fear of looking insufficiently progressive” [page. 181]. Unfortunately, giving away America is one such act.

That George W. Bush, just as William Clinton before him, failed in his Constitutional duty to protect the states against invasion is undeniable. Our presidents are no more vested in this nation’s future than many of the immigrants who break our laws to get here. They come to the great Satan to prosper and earn, but their loyalties will always be elsewhere. They are among but not of us. In the past we tried to foster patriotism by enacting quotas, naturalization proceedings, and a refusal to alter our own culture for the benefit of new arrivals, but that time is no more. Nowadays, it is the natives who must adapt for the sake of the immigrants. We learn their language rather than they learn ours. When we do not, we face employment discrimination in the land of our own birth. Here in Chicago, I have seen countless “help wanted” advertisements documenting that no mono-lingual citizens need apply. Why should we fault the immigrant for not assimilating when we so willingly oppress our own? Even if they were truly interested in becoming one among many, there is no longer much for them to assimilate to. Society encourages us to regard ourselves as free agents. Blacks, individuals whose ancestors—on average—have been here longer than anybody else’s, now refer to themselves as “African-Americans,” Asians are “Asian-Americans,” and Hispanics are “Hispanic-Americans.” and race is not where the Balkanization ends. Recently, a disgraced politician, proudly referred to himself as a “Gay American.” As for this reviewer, I’m going to remain simply an “American.” I agree with Teddy Roosevelt when he said, “There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism,” [p.177] but if he were alive today he would be in the minority. There is no room for Americans without outside attachments, qualifiers, or stipulations.

One of the side effects of these absurd bifurcations and delineations is that individual patriotism is interpreted as a symbol of intolerance and hatred. Our Bill of Rights and Constitution are the intellectual infrastructure from which a remarkably stable nation has arose. The overwhelming majority of the citizenry possess health, prosperity, and freedom (despite the ever-increasing encroaches upon our private lives by the nanny state). By nearly every statistical measure, ours is a wonderful land. If one examines America realistically, all of these eventualities are easy to detect, but if one juxtaposes America with perfection then they will forever be disappointed; despite perfection being to humans what space travel is to ants.

I think the average person will find State of Emergency well worth their time and investment. It really is quite illuminating. Furthermore, contrary to his reputation, Pat Buchanan says very little here that is controversial. Most of his insights are obvious, which is rather appalling in light of how irresponsibly they are ignored by our rulers. Buchanan argues in his final chapter that it is not too late and that we have a last chance to stem the tide, but I disagree with him. Our elites have already spoken. They have decided to sacrifice our nation as a means to purify their souls and feel good about themselves.

I’ve had the opportunity to poll watch during Tennessee’s Early Voting period, and have observed voters doing their civic duty. The problems that have been predicted by analysts and the media in regards to problems with voter machines have been blown out of proportion.

Never has it been so easy to vote. The new DIEBOLD touch-screen voting machines are self-explanatory. Even if someone has never voted with a DIEBOLD machine or is elderly or disabled and needs help, they will eventually get it.

However, there was some confusion over whether or not the smart cards (used to activate voter machines) were to be returned to poll workers. It was recently learned that at few voting locations in Shelby County, TN (Memphis area), a total of 20+ smart cards went missing as people walked off with the cards, not knowing that they were supposed to return them after voting. A simple misunderstanding. That’s also been blown out of proportion as some are afraid that they can be used again to vote with after someone has used them to vote with a first time. The cards contain no information on them once used, and cannot be used again unless activated by the Election Commission. And for that reason, the Shelby County Election Commission said the matter won’t be investigated.

What WILL be investigated by the Shelby County District Attorney are allegations that 2 people were able to vote twice. And just today, it was reported by Tennessee Senate Dist. 29 candidate Terry Roland that an additional 14 people voted twice, and 1 dead person!

All of this falls on poll workers involved…if certain poll workers allowed people to vote twice, and tampered with votes, they should be dealt with. But voters can be assured of the security of the DIEBOLD voting machines. It was simply the failure of the poll workers to properly inform voters that the smart cards should be returned once they have cast their ballot. People voting twice and dead voters being able to vote is MUCH more serious!

I’m confident of the overall voting process. I’m not saying there won’t be errors and people trying to manipulate the voting process, but overall, people can breathe easy. The only other violations that could occur… people from certain campaigns rallying people to vote for their candidate inside a voting precinct, trying to sway voters at the last minute. Those folks should be 100 ft. from the polling place. But poll watchers have been put in place to catch infractions and report it. So overall, the voting process is legit.

Stealth agendas

As usual, the media has also had its agenda on full speed. We all have heard of the never-ending hype that Democrats could re-take the House and Senate. And just last week, on the last day of Early Voting in Tennessee, NBC Nightly News decided to broadcast from Memphis, TN, the Democrat candidate Harold Ford Jr.’s stomping grounds.

NBC’s Brian Williams said, “…but I didn’t have to think about this one, I knew we were coming to Tennessee.”

“The race holds potential for both political and historical significance. This may be the seat in the senate that tilts something. If you believe the predictions as of today, this may be the seat that makes the most history,” Williams continued.

Williams meant that Harold Ford Jr. would be the first black Senator from the South since Reconstruction.

I have said before how I think that race shouldn’t be a factor in who runs for political office. It’s about the job performance of the individual. To narrowly look at someone based on their skin color and use that to decide if they should be elected to office is a shortsighted view on how democratically held elections should be conducted. It puts a blight on our elections because people fail to look deeper into other areas where a candidate can be effective to hold the job they are seeking.

Brian Williams could have very well chose to air from Nashville, neutral territory, but again, the media showed its bias as to who they’d prefer to win in Tennessee, and they are playing up the race issue again.

(See more comments from Brian Williams here:

Stand and be counted!

As voters, it is incumbent upon us to do investigative work of a candidate’s voting record and their activities to see if what he/she is saying during their campaigns, matches up to what they have done in the past. Ignore the influence of polls and the media to try to sway people at the last minute. Sadly the media will continue to do this, time and time again. But what they present to the public is nothing but hype over a candidate.

The “negative” ads of one candidate disclosing the activities of his opponent won’t change. And it isn’t all negative if people would do the research behind the allegations to find out if it’s true or not. Because sometimes, certain revealed information which can determine how a candidate will do his/her job, turns out to be true. That constitutes an “informed” voter. Don’t vote blindly. With the excess of information out there, especially via the Internet, there should be no excuse for people to not know a candidate fully, and where he/she stands on the issues.

The state of America’s future depends on whether Americans thoroughly engage in the political process. Have faith in our voting process, and go state your opinion at the polls.

Let’s not be lazy… we deserve to lose our freedom if we keep silent.

Personal friend and first-rate writer and columnist Craig Cantoni has been turning out Page-Nine worthy articles for years, and with his permission, the Uninvited Ombudsman will be running some of his best. Why is government so messed up? Craig knows.

By Craig J. Cantoni

Presidents
Then: “Government is not reason. Government is not eloquence. It is force, and like fire is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” –George Washington

Now: “We have a responsibility that when somebody hurts, government has got to move.” –George W. Bush, 2003

The Nanny State
Then: “It is not the function of our government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.” –Justice Robert Jackson, United States Supreme Court, 1954 (American Communications Association v. Douds)

Now: The secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation scolds a rock star for driving with her infant on her lap. A warning tag on my wife’s hair dryer reads, “Do not use while bathing.”

Comedy
Then: “I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the acts.” –Will Rogers

Now: PBS affiliate KAET-TV in Phoenix thanks the Arizona Department of Transportation for being one of its “Small Business Partners.”

Journalists
Then: “Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.” –H. L. Mencken

Now: With few exceptions, establishment journalists are either shills for the big-government Left or apologists for the big-government Right. Journalists of Mencken’s caliber, courage and independence exist primarily in the blogosphere.

Freedom
Then: “If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” –Samuel Adams

Now: Most Americans only know Samuel Adams as a beer.

Bread and Circuses
Then: “The people that once bestowed commands, consulships, legions and all else, now meddles no more and longs eagerly for just two things — bread and circuses.” –Juvenal

Now: Tens of billions are spent across the nation, from the public treasury, to subsidize private stadiums for professional athletes and their owners.

Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, suggests that the committee investigate why wide receiver Terrell Owens was suspended by the Philadelphia Eagles. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) demands that professional baseball do something about steroid use. Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX), chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, calls a hearing to investigate how the national college championship is determined.

Laws
Then: “The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.” –Roman Senator Publius Cornelius Tacitus

“The only [legitimate] power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. When there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” –Ayn Rand

Now: Tens of thousands of IRS regulations and more than 100,000 pages of Medicare regulations are but a small fraction of all federal regulations. Over half of federal prisoners are serving time for drug offenses.

[An estimated one to four million words of new law were added by Congress in the 2006 season, earning it a moniker as a "do-nothing" Congress my news-media watchdog dogs.]

On Craig Cantoni’s article about the police officer idolized for days as a hero, after killing himself while breaking traffic laws –

According to reliable talk leaking out of the fallen officer’s Tempe Police Dept., motorcycle cops routinely avoided traffic by ignoring barricades at the construction site, and illegally used the closed highway ramp where the officer was recently killed. The officer was going full tilt when he hit construction equipment that had been recently moved there, sending him flying more than 150 feet to his self-inflicted death.

The equipment was gear for the controversial highly tax-subsidized light rail system being built, and may be the first reported light-rail death.

Lamestream reports have not followed up on this news, leaving intact the impression that he was a hero. One former policeman, upon reading about the incident, asked to be removed from Page Nine postings (see below). Others commended the candid coverage on this media-fueled unspoken travesty that intrinsically says government agents’ lives are worth more than yours.

The lamestream media told you:
Political reporter Mary Jo Pitzl had a front-page story about a typographical error on a ballot for the Nov. election. The error was associated with a ballot proposition to increase the tax on cigarettes by 80 cents per pack. Because of the typo, the ballot refers to the increase as “.80 cent/pack,” or less than a penny.

The Uninvited Ombudsman’s good friend Craig Cantoni notes however that:
Pitzl began her story with typical left-wing bias, but has not been disciplined:

“Early-childhood-education and health programs on next month’s ballot could lose millions of dollars if a misplaced decimal point is interpreted technically.”

Pitzl could have written the following if she wanted to demonstrate a right-leaning bias instead of a left-leaning one:

“Smokers well not be forced to pay millions in taxes for the education and health care of other people’s children if a misplaced decimal point is interpreted technically.”

Or to be unbiased, she could have written: “Proposition 203 will generate millions of dollars less than intended if a misplaced decimal point is interpreted technically.”

But what do I know? I never attended journalism school. –CC

[This sort of news bias has become so common -- presuming that a government handout is the "right" of people who get it, and that people who work, earn the money, and are forced to hand it over don't count -- that news organizations won't even entertain criticism on the subject, or run letters pointing it out. For many readers, the slant that "government is your nanny and is always right" flies over their heads, and the propaganda aspect is simply absorbed. The news media continues to rapidly evolve into one of the greatest threats to freedom we face.]

The lamestream media told you:
Fiscal year 2006, which ended Sep. 30, saw reductions in illegal border crossing arrests from Mexico, officials say, showing that their increased efforts are working.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff called it, “a significant turnaround in terms of the number of illegals that we are finding crossing the border,” in a Monday announcement (Oct. 30).

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Arrests measure police activity, are independent from and do not measure criminal activity, and tell us nothing about the numbers of illegals flooding into the country. Chertoff’s carefully worded statement is misleading at best.

When police step up enforcement, arrests generally go up. When they slow down, as they did after the April Minuteman muster on the border, arrests go down. The Washington Times reported that the Border Patrol was instructed to limit arrests after the muster to make the Minutemen seem ineffective.

If enforcement efforts truly are up as officials claim, it is not clear why arrests would go down. Reporters failed to inquire, or report the answers if they did inquire. Less than half the people attempting entry are caught, so there are plenty of extra suspects around to apprehend.

Touting an 8.5% reduction in arrests over the prior year seems hollow, when it represents 1.1 million captures, border watchers note. Unnamed border experts, quoted in the news by media “watchdogs” say that for every illegal caught sneaking into America, “two or three make it through.”

Using a special investigative tool called a “calculator,” that equals 2.2 to 3.3 million extra illegals now holed up somewhere in America this year alone. The Uninvited Ombudsman could actually do that math in his head, but cautiously relied on the tool to be safe.

Lamestream reports have been saying there are about 12 million illegals in the country since at least 2002. Adding the reported annual captures-and-escapes suggests the total is now between 19 and 25 million. Why the “news” media has failed to add the numbers together is unknown, but not attributed to poor math skills, according to leading experts. Some reporters are known to own calculators.

Less conservative estimates have put the number of illegals hiding in the country at 30 million, which with the new figures would be 38 to 42 million. The number of captures, though down slightly from last year, are up compared with 2001, 2002 and 2003, official BP figures show.

The only independent confirmation of escapees compared to captures comes from the Minuteman effort. Lamestream reporters failed to even mention they were holding a muster during the month of October.

Minutemen spotted 524 illegals during the border watch, of which BP captured 173, or 33%. The worst capture ratio occurred on 10/18 when 38 were sighted but none were caught. The best ratio was three days later, when all 14 sightings lead to captures.

Sightings are reported from outposts staffed by at least two people, over radio sets that everyone can hear, providing a high degree of data confidence. Only sightings sufficiently specific to dispatch Border Patrol agents are made. The sound of footsteps, vague noises, flashlights and similar questionable observations are not relayed to HQ for action.

Each morning at the Minuteman headquarters office on-site in the desert, the number of sightings are posted on a white board, along with running totals, and the numbers captured by the Border Patrol, according to their direct reports. The entire chart, along with photos and a complete Minuteman report from The Uninvited Ombudsman will be posted at gunlaws.com soon. Use the blue Minuteman button.

According to a Gannett report published from Wash., D.C., Chertoff said, “the agency has spent the month since the fiscal year ended processing the numbers.” Why a running total of arrests was not readily available to Homeland Security, as it was to the Minutemen operating only with volunteers, no budget and a white board, was unexplained, and no reporters asked about it. Why should they, when their entire story was an unquestioned rerun of the government handouts.

The statistics problem may rest with staffing levels or funding, since the Border Patrol only has 12,349 employees on the payroll, and a budget of $7.84 billion. (They have requested an additional $702 million taxpayer dollars for fiscal 2007).

According to insider news-media sources speaking in confidence to The Uninvited Ombudsman, reporters are encouraged to rely on official sources. This contributes to why modern “news” looks like it comes from lapdogs instead of a watchdogs, experts believe.

The lamestream media told you:
Iran is still sponsoring terrorism, North Korea is still being bad, China is violating civil rights, and people are asking the United States to intervene in Darfur.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
I can’t keep covering the same stories over and over like the lamestream media does. For the record –

Iran is sponsoring the global jihad, North Korea is an independent nation doing what it wants to, communist red China is violating civil rights because that’s what communists do, and the Muslims killing each other in Darfur have some nerve expecting the U.S. to intervene.

If we don’t intervene (at great taxpayer expense and lethal risk to our armed forces), count on the “news” media to call us heartless, and if we do, expect them to say we’re imperialist war mongers.

The world’s Muslim nations have not commented publicly or offered any assistance to their Muslim kin reportedly suffering rape, pillage and genocide in the unfortunate, war-torn, panic-stricken, strife-filled, underdeveloped, deprived, impoverished, depressed, demoralized third-world African nation. U.N. diplomats have failed to point out the awkward silence.

The lamestream media told you:
John Spencer, a Republican, is trailing Democrat Hillary Clinton in the race for the New York Senate seat, by 37 points, a recent poll suggests. Spencer’s remark about Clinton’s alleged plastic surgery received extensive coverage and commentary everywhere. The balance of his platform was omitted for lack of space.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Appearing together — John Spencer, fighting Hillary Clinton for a U.S. Senate seat, John Faso, running against anti-gun-rights Elliott Spitzer for New York governor, Ron Schmeits, the next president of the NRA, and the Uninvited Ombudsman — rocked a packed banquet hall in Rochester, NY, for SCOPE, the Shooters Committee On Political Education. Despite the stellar lineup and numerous announcements, not a single member of the lamestream media showed up. Not one.

No camera crews, no satellite trucks, no microphones, and no news on “the powerful gun lobby” leaked out, as media suppression of news about Hillary’s opponent advanced unabated. Hillary’s own solo appearances received heavy coverage.

Spencer’s central message — that the pro-rights crowd outnumbers the anti-rights crowd and will win if they all go to the polls — never made it past the buffet line.

Prediction: Everyone forecast to win by leftist lamestream media, who doesn’t win, will challenge the voting process and create unheard of turmoil, especially where hackable paperless electronic machines were brought in to eliminate voting problems. Some elections will never be satisfactorily resolved.

The lamestream media told you:
The Democrats are getting giddy with hope over their chances for taking over both houses of Congress, and Republicans are terrified at the prospect of Nancy Polosi as Speaker, and other leftists claiming the chair of influential committees that control what Congress does.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The amount of power Democrats gain on Nov. 7, if any, will be directly related to a run on supplies and rapid rise in prices for firearms and ammunition immediately after the election, according to an expert who wishes to remain anonymous to protect his job.

If both the Senate and the House go to Democrats, demand and prices will skyrocket for primers, powder, brass, factory ammo and firearms of every type, according to reliable sources. Although guns have been kept out of the spotlight by both parties and the “news” media, the public inherently understands that Democrats are the leading enemy of gun rights in America, and will act on this belief.

Some political observers believe this may be a good thing because, if Democrats take one or both houses, a) the country will be reminded of what Dems are really like, b) their radical leftist notions will be exposed instead of back-burnered, c) anti-gun measures will come back with a vengeance, to a nation that has largely forgotten about that during Republican rule, d) President Bush will have to use his unused veto power, e) the burst in gun sales and accessories will be a helpful shot in the arm for the industry, and f) it will happen in time to effect the 2008 presidential election, when the nation’s leading leftist, Hillary, will likely be the candidate.

Some pundits predict the Dems will trim back such policies to not jeopardize their chances in 2008. Prominent Democrats however are already calling for repealing the tax cuts (Rangel), defunding the military (Murtha), granting aid and amnesty for illegal immigrants (Franks), expanding welfare (Pelosi), banning guns for the public (Schumer) and other typically Democrat proposals.
