NH Paper: Celebrating 'Open Tent' Day -- Kids Dress Like Arabs

Only in the west can one see a school that hosts a day when school children are encouraged to dress like, act like, and "learn about" those trying to kill them and all in a day that the country is in the midst of war. And only in the west would the media help celebrate such an outrageous example of support for what, in truth, are our enemies.

On May 9, the kids of the Amherst Middle School in Amherst, New Hampshire, were forced to parade about their school dressed as "Saudi Arabians" [1] so that they could "learn from people around the world" in a happy day of multiculturalism. But, what they ended up being taught was the wholly sanitized version of how wonderful Saudi society is instead of the truth.

One Liberal's Ideas

A very liberal family member gave me his opinion of the upcoming election.
This will be the sum and substance of his comments as I can remember them.

This is if he [Obama] doesn't get shot.  The neocons have it set up, if it looks like Obama is going to win, that there will be some kind of "red flag" event [explain later] in Iran, most likely, and Bush [this is before the election] will declare an "emergency."  Now after this with powers available to the President he will suspend the election and remain in power.

This "red flag" thing would be a "made up" event we would conspire with Iran to do this.  Remember this is the neocons that are plotting this.

Why would anyone in Iran want to plot with the U.S. to keep a leader in power who is not friendly to Iran to keep out Obama who would seem to be more of a friend?

He said this was his opinion and when I said he was not entitled to this opinion because it had no basis in fact or reality.  I was told that he  hoped I was right and what he described would not happen.

I invite comments also if anyone has any idea where this idea comes from.

Well, we weren’t at war, but check out this list and ask yourself if we were at peace:

It’s Only A Model … Shh!

One potatoe, two potatoe, three potatoe, four

How many times did Quayle misspell potato before the American media and popular culture proclaimed him an idiot? We can add this to Obama’s existing list of gaffes and blunders:

When Does 'Iraq Made Us Less Safe' Become Inoperable?

Expanding a bit on this thought from Jen Rubin: A standard, almost rote part of Obama's argument is that the war in Iraq "hasn't made us safer, and has in fact made us less safe."But we haven't had a (knock on wood) terrorist attack on American soil since the anthrax, . . . Go

Scott McClellan

McClellan tries to walk a fine line between echoing Bush haters and saying utterly irresponsible things. Closing the Book on McClellan

The most extraordinary aspect of McClellan’s book is the sense that he stumbled into a reckless, propagandizing administration and did its bidding for years without realizing how nefarious it was — until he left and decided to write a book. It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that he has shaped his views to the marketing pressures of the publishing industry. If so, it is a shameful end to an undistinguished public career.

The story he sells isn’t even there. What Happened?

McClellan’s only legitimate beef seems to be his unjust treatment during the Valerie Plame investigation. But that complaint doesn’t sell books or get the sluices of journalistic saliva raging. Use of the word “propaganda” and charges of dishonesty about the war do, which is why he uses them. But McClellan concedes in interviews that even when he was an important cog in the “propaganda machine,” he never witnessed anything that seemed at the time to be deceitful or untrue.

This all bespeaks a level of sophistication few ever credited McClellan with when he stood at the podium looking like a McDonald’s cashier flummoxed by an order. He’s hawking books by making people think he’s charging the Bush administration with wholesale dishonesty when he’s not even making that case at the retail level. He’s claiming the role of insider with behind-the-scenes insights, but he admits it never occurred to him that there was any dishonesty at work until he left the White House and began ruminating on what he could put in his book.

McClellan’s book has all the inherent interest of one of his briefings. Mouth McClellan

If McClellan’s provocative language is stripped away, what he is saying is unremarkable. In its zeal to persuade the public of the case for war, the president’s team ended up “obscuring nuances and ignoring the caveats that should have accompanied their arguments.” In retrospect, that’s inarguably true. “However,” McClellan adds, “this is not the same as saying they deliberately misled and lied.”
