| Why Steve we can be civilized if we need to be. It is we just don't need to be real often.

Just a reminder, for those that may have forgotten:
"the Senate early Friday, 10/11/02 voted 77-23 to authorize President Bush to attack Iraq...." & "The Senate vote divided Democrats, with 29 Democrats voting for the measure and 21 against." -from CNN.Com
Also, about the non-existant WMD's:
The US has revealed that it removed more than 1.7 metric tons of radioactive material from Iraq in a secret operation last month.
“This operation was a major achievement,” said US Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham in a statement.
He said it would keep “potentially dangerous nuclear materials out of the hands of terrorists”.
Along with 1.77 tons of enriched uranium, about 1,000 “highly radioactive sources” were also removed.
The material was taken from a former nuclear research facility on 23 June, after being packaged by 20 experts from the US Energy Department’s secret laboratories.
It was flown out of the country aboard a military plane in a joint operation with the Department of Defense, and is being stored temporarily at a Department of Energy facility. -from various sources including, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3872201.stm , "The UncooperativeBlogger.Com" & more....
1.7 tons of enriched uranium.....I wonder what that was going to be used for & I wonder why this wasn't plastered all over the television(s), newspaper(s), and magazine(s)?

There a huge difference between the Rhino and the "normal" media outlets. The Rhino has never hidden the fact that they are a conservative newpaper, and that they intend to report from that base and stand-point. TV news and daily papers claim to be unbiased and neutral. If you can read, you know that's not true. Proof of that is when you read the Rhino, you can see an obvious difference in their reporting and thought process vs. the other outlets. The fact that they admit they are conservative and then you can read their conservative approach is called honesty. The other papers claim neutrality, but they are filled with left-leaning, liberal, bash-America-every-chance-you-get in practically every report.

Dang liberal media! You cain't depend on 'em to tell you what's a-goin' on.
Fer example:
Did they ever catch them fellers that made that big hole in the ground where 3,000 human bein's an' two big buildin's used to be? I heard they were holed up in Afghanistan -- y'all remember that place? Wonder how it's goin' over yonder these days?
I heard we 'bout had them fellers cornered a few years ago, but the High Sheriff (real tough guy, ex National Guard drop out) got a good chunk o' the posse to cut an' run over yonder to Iraq to do a little shockin' an' awein' (or was it shuckin' an' jivein'), in a country, by the way that had no connection with Al Queda or 9/11. Y'all heard anything from there lately?
I also heard top military an' Senate leaders in his own party were fed up an' decided to split with their fightin' he-man leader over whether America stands fer torture or not. I don't watch The O'Reilly Factor so I don't know if that actually happened or not.

I won't get into Bush-bashing or Democrat Dunking, but MStone does make a good point about the papers. I like to read opinions that differ from mine - that's the way we broaden our views - but what I don't like is reporting that is presented as neutral when it's not.
Do we have a forum for radio rage?
Another disappointment is NPR, my favorite liberal radio station which I have often enjoyed. In the past, it was interesting and varied, but in the last year or so, it has become so slanted that it's too tiresome to tune in. The liberal views, for the most part are acceptable, but the way every guest is led to express only the views of the host should be embarassing to the station. If someone is brought in on counterpoint his opinions are rudely dismissed. Why can't we get comments equally from both sides so that we can try to form an educated opinion? Most of us don't like to be force-fed any one viewpoint and surely both liberals and conservatives have some good to offer. The Dianne Rheim(sorry, spelling) show is the one that drives me to distraction. Her leading questions are unnecessary and she is just not profesional enough to host a two-sided show.
Oh, well, I still like to keep up with the doings of the Lutherans!

A federal judge in Detroit has ruled that the Bush administration's warrantless surveillance program is unconstitutional and must be halted. In her 43-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor wrote "There are no hereditary kings in America and no powers not created by the Constitution."
To me, having a Federal Judge use such language in describing George Bush and his Administration's unconstitutional actions, speaks ever so clearly to the lack of respect and regard that Bush and his cronies (Cheney comes to mind) have for our democratic ideals and constitution. There is no shame whatsoever in their abuse and abrogation of the constitution when it suits their purposes or meets their ends.

Sen. Rockerfeller from West Virginia has been on tv lately complaining about how Bush lied to everyone about Iraq and FOX8 news went back 4 years to a speech Rockerfeller gave,he was on the Senate intelligence committee that has access to everything the Pres. sees. Anyway 4 years ago the esteemed Sen. from WV was imploring his fellow Sen. about how we did not have time for all the evidence on saddam to come out, we need to go after him. i guess time can cause amnesia or is it election time that causes it.

| Star catchr I for the most part love Kiane Rhem's show. I know she is liberal and expect her bent to be that way but she does have the best news round ups each week I spend a lot of time in my car. My only other choice at that time of the day is Neil Bortz and I just get infuriated with his bashing of public ( government as he calls them) schools and the pushing of home schooling and private schools as being the answer to all our problems. I try to listen to his side of things but just for the most part can't.
