Howard Dean in 2004: “Military experience is vital”

Howard Dean.jpg

Kevin Gregory at McClatchy Watch has a great quote by Howard Dean in 2004:

“The real issue is this,” Dean said in March 2004, when endorsing formal rival Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., “Who would you rather have in charge of the defense of the United States of America, a group of people who never served a day overseas in their life, or a guy who served his country honorably and has three Purple Hearts and a Silver Star on the battlefields of Vietnam?”

McCain, by the way, has been awarded the Silver Star, the Legion of Merit, two Bronze Star Medals, a Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Charming Burka

2579 2.jpg

The more I look at burkas the more I think of women wrapped in grave clothes or lepers. It is beyond repressive, it casts women as diseased, ugly, and dead. It is because of these wonderful attributes that a firm in Germany decided that it would use the burka to market its ideas:

…because it is often perceived in the west as a symbol of repression.

This is how liberals think, really. The choice was made because it was perceived as negative, not because it is positive. Kind of hard to find anything positive about wearing grave clothes imposed by men who are allowed to beat you. Narrowing the point is that liberals will choose to support bad things (such as burkas and Islamic law) that should be contrary to their beliefs only if it is in conflict with Christian values.

Tato - Politics before People

tata_nano_luxury_5 2.jpg

If you still need proof that Liberals and Environmentalists are elitists that want to keep a peasant class in the world look no further then the debate on India’s upcoming $2500 Tato Nano car for the masses. Unbelievably these people will make the argument that the peasants in India do not deserve cheap cars that likely will produce less CO2 then the average US liberal. Yale environmental law professor Daniel Esty told Newsweek:

“This car promises to be an environmental disaster of substantial proportions”

According to Tato these cars will produce less pollution then the scooters that they will replace and get nearly the same milage or better. It looks like this is another case of politics before science and bad ideals before people.
