open letter to kevin sites

to kevin sites:

I'm not sure I agree that up until now you have played it straight down the middle...for instance, you were not very honest in your election oriented blog...the vast majority of soldiers supported President Bush, but you seemed to imply it was pretty much 50/50...but perhaps we can't expect unbiased facts from anyone who has spent a career in the media, can we?

and no, kevin, you're not playing it down the middle now...you show extreme bias against the young marine who shot the TERRORIST(yes TERRORIST, NOT "insurgent") who was playing possum...you use phrases like:

"it appeared to me very plainly that something was not right" (that's a nice unbiased assessment, giving a big clue to your leanings)

"There don't appear to be any weapons anywhere" (like if the TERRORISTS are lying in wait they are going to be brandishing their weapons????)

"There are no sudden movements, no reaching or lunging" (so might the TERRORIST be SLOWLY readying his weapon?)

"I can't know what was in the mind of the marine, He is the only one who does" (but most of us can imagine the Marine was concerned the TERRORIST was playing possum and was going to shoot some infidel, maybe even you, kevin)

so, kevin, you seem to be showing your true colors as an anti-war-on-terrorism type guy...maybe you fancy yourself to be the next walter cronkite by trying to turn the war against TERRORISTS into another viet nam...this war is not viet nam, kevin...we are engaging the TERRORISTS on their turf, and not the U.S., and Americans are very much in support of that fact

new york voters

how does new york city vote overwhelmingly against President Bush?...manhattan in particular goes about 4 to 1 against Bush...I say "against Bush" as it is demonstrated in numerous places that democrats, by wide margins, weren't voting for kerry, but voting against the President



but manhattan, to quote Neil Young: "you've got the rest of the Union to help you along, what's going wrong?"...is 9/11 such a distant memory?...can't you still hear "the people that knocked these buildings down will hear from all of us soon?" and they did?

is there something about living in a big city that lowers your IQ?...seems there's a big correlation there

may the gods continue to save us from the domination of the idiot elites

WHY the country is so DIVIDED

there is obviously a 50/50 split on general politics in America...but the DIVIDE is wide, it is bitter, and it is nasty...both sides readily demonize the other...either side is willing to say anything to win an election...politics has always been a dirty business, but in spite of that, and in spite of the number of talking heads telling you it is no worse than it has been in the past, the DIVIDE is clearly much worse than it has been



there is one reason for this DIVIDE, and it is the algore/lieberman campaign of desperation to steal the election of 2000...the prolonged, dogged, determined to "win at any cost" attempts...the backdoor, smoke-filled room, blatantly political and legal battles...the result was to continually inflame both sides in an upward spiral of animosity...the culmination of which brought us to where we are today

you can't blame algore for going to extraordinary lengths to achieve the presidency...but at some point, any guy with room temperature IQ would have to realize that although the democrats had the FL supreme court in their hip pocket, the Republicans had the same advantage with the US Supreme Court, a much bigger stick

the democrats and the algore/lieberman campaign and their over-the-top antics and delays are the cause of the current acrimony, the DIVIDE...algore could have stopped it long before it reached its current level

algore should have realized, there is a final "controlling legal authority"
