“I want to ask the President, why did you kill my son?” These are the words of Cindy Sheehan - Army mom turned hippie protester. Mrs. Sheehan has been protesting in front of President Bush’s Texas ranch for the past week. Of course, we extend our sympathies for her tragic loss - along with the over 1,800 families who have experienced a similar loss in the Iraq War. However, Mrs. Sheehan has now joined the radical, anti-America Left. She believes President Bush - a not the terrorists in Iraq - killed her son. She has officially joined the ranks of those who seek to undermine American national security; she has allowed herself to be willingly exploited by ultra-leftists who have sought, from the very beginning, to instigate the United States’ defeat in Iraq and the overall war on terror. She now aids the very cause that her son once so bravely fought against in the Middle East.

President Bush should not meet with Mrs. Sheehan. I am appalled that she was already granted a meeting with National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley. She is entitled to her opinion and her grief, but she is no different than any other family member of a fallen American soldier. Why does she deserve special treatment? Can you imagine President Roosevelt meeting all of the widows of fallen soldiers in WWII? Godspeed to her brave son. I only wish his mother could realize that the cause he died for was just and necessary.

A little bit of an old story. At a town hall meeting in Ithaca, NY Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-Hippieville) made it clear he is looking forward to a Democrat victory in the House in 2006, followed shortly thereafter by impeachment proceedings against President Bush:

“The applause lasted half a minute.”

Tip o’ the hat to Richard Poe at Moonbat Central.

The History Channel is set to run a program entitled “Ape to Man.” It will run tonight, and I have not doubt that it will simply regurgitate the hackneyed scientific mantras from the Darwinian establishment. Still, I have no problem with the evolutionists offering their view of human origin. But we must remember that the question - “how did we get here” - remains an unsettled, and heavily disputed issue in modern science and biology. There are indeed two distinct schools of thought on this question, and both are composed of brilliant and highly esteemed scientists. Contrary to the claim that the intelligent design camp, a.k.a “the creationists,” are a group of scientifically unsophisticated, religious nuts, many prominent, secular scientists and biologists have written the defining literature supporting creationism. But don’t count on the History Channel to give both sides equal time – or any time – tonight. This program essentially accepts that evolution is settled fact, and conveniently ignores the legions of evidence against it. Like so many people in the evolutionist camp, they pretend the intelligent design school does not exist. They live in a fantasy world where evolution is the unchallenged dogma, and disagreement is not tolerated. But evolution is a theory, and it should be treated as such. Here is how History Channel describes the program: “The story of a century-and-a-half of tireless research that led humans to discover their ape-like beginnings.” It doesn’t sound like there will be much discussion or hearing of countering viewpoints on the very legitimacy of evolutionary thought. Dissent is not allowed! How much more productive a program would this be if the evolutionists at least entertained the possibility that their theory could be wrong… don’t hold your breath.

Just remember: There is no fossil evidence (none!) that supports evolution, and to believe in evolution you have to essentially disregard every law of Newtonian physics and thermodynamics that governs the universe. The History Channel should do an entirely separate program that addresses these specific scientific problems with evolution - then maybe I would tune in.
