7/24/08 Offshore oil drilling: cleaner than Mother Nature  "Painfully high vehicle- and jet-fuel prices are propelling popular demands for extracting the estimated 18 billion barrels of petroleum that rest beneath America's coastal waters.

  "After rescinding previous executive-branch objections, President Bush said July 14, "the only thing standing between the

American people and these vast oil resources is action from the U.S. Congress." Capitol Hill Democrats claim offshore drilling

 poses unacceptable ecological risks. This is yet another overblown worry."

7/24/08 Misplaced Priorities  "While the top priority of most Americans — including a growing number of moderate

Congressional Democrats — is legislative action on domestic oil exploration, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.)

wants the world’s greatest deliberative body to set aside concerns over skyrocketing energy prices to deal with such pressing

 issues as interstate pet-monkey sales, a botanical garden in Maryland, and the establishment of a committee to encourage

celebration of the War of 1812 bicentennial. Reid’s cloture motion on a 35-bill package called the“Advancing America’s

Priorities Act” (AAPA) which authorizes over $11 billion in new spending, is currently scheduled for a Saturday vote."

7/24/08 NATO leader urges Pakistan border cooperation "With the Afghan president at his side, NATO

Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said simply blaming Pakistan is not enough. He called for a regional approach to

resolving the issue that would include Pakistan, which has defended its efforts to end militancy on its side."

7/24/08 Mystery explosions point to Iran’s secret arms shipments to terrorists

7/24/08 Will Media Report Concert Before Obama's Berlin Speech? "Remember back in May when media

gushed and fawned over a huge crowd in Portland, Oregon -- supposedly gathered to hear the words of Democrat presidential

candidate Barack Obama  -- but chose not to report the free concert given before his speech?

  "Well, it has been learned that before the presumptive Democrat nominee spoke to a crowd in Berlin Thursday, two popular

German acts -- reggae artist Patrice and rock band Reamonn -- entertained the gathering audience.

  "Will media report this tonight, or just gush and fawn over the huge crowd again?"

7/24/08 Appeaser Obama Could Not Deliver Berlin Speech Like Reagan or JFK "KENNEDY:  We can look

forward to that day when this city will be joined as one and this country and this great Continent of Europe in a peaceful and

hopeful globe. When that day finally comes, as it will, the people of West Berlin can take sober satisfaction in the fact that

they were in the front lines for almost two decades.  All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin.  And,

therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words 'Ich bin ein Berliner.'
  "RUSH:  And the crowd went nuts with that.  Now, a couple of things here.  Not only could Obama not make this speech,

nor could any other Democrat today because they are appeasers, because they don't see that much wrong with communism, if

the truth be told.  But he couldn't make this speech, either, because Obama believes that it was a mistake to free 25 million

Iraqis from tyranny because it angered our enemies.  We are so afraid of angering our enemies today Obama wouldn't make

a speech like this, not aimed at Iran.  George W. Bush will, but there is not a Democrat who will do it." (Maybe Lieberman)

7/24/08 A Presidential Catastrophe For America "Will America elect an inexperienced Chicago machine politician,

a radical, extremist, leftist, liberal, elitist, with no legislative or other accomplishments, who has demonstrated he is a world-class

flip-flopping zigzagger? Will we go for someone with a painfully thin resume and body of experience, who has already

demonstrated bad judgment by his selection of associates (racists, bigots, terrorists, and crooks) and by his output of ideas?

This candidate is totally unfit to be our commander-in-chief and president in a time of unprecedented peril to the survival of

our nation and western civilization.
  "If you examine the record and pronouncements of Barack Obama, you will discover he is not only totally unprepared and

unqualified to be president, but is in fact a fraud being sold to the American people by his campaign managers and promoters,

the mainstream media. I would recommend he change his slogan from 'change you can believe in,' to 'a fraud you can believe in.'

7/23/08 American Heroism Goes Unreported in Iraq
  "American heroism has been ignored and overlooked by networks at home and overseas for the duration of the Iraq war,

while insurgents and terrorists have used willing media outlets to score public relations wins.
   "That bleak assessment comes from U.S. soldiers who served in Iraq during the pre-surge time frame, when the insurgency

was its height. A collection of graphs and charts made available through the public affairs office of the Multi-National Corps

in Iraq indicates that the media has pulled back on its coverage, now that U.S. casualty figures have declined and Al Qaeda

is in retreat."

7/23/08 Ambassador: Al-Qaida leaving Iraq for Afghanistan  

  "Al-Qaida's foreign fighters who have for years bedeviled Iraq are increasingly going to Afghanistan to fight instead, the Iraqi ambassador to the United States said Wednesday."

7/23/08 Pentagon to recommend more troops for Afghanistan

7/23/08 BUT WILL THEY RESPECT HIM IN THE MORNING?

  "Back before the Republican Party was saddled with John McCain as its nominee, The New York Times called

him 'the only Republican who promises to end the George Bush style of governing from and on behalf of a small, angry

fringe.' The paper praised him for 'working across the aisle to develop sound bipartisan legislation' and predicted that he

would appeal to 'a broader range of Americans than the rest of the Republican field.' . . .

7/23/08 McCain vs. Muslim Radicals

  "Muslim spokesmen in the U.S. are outraged over remarks made last Friday by Bud Day, a key supporter of John McCain.

Day, a much-decorated Air Force Colonel and Medal of Honor recipient who was a prisoner of war in Vietnam with

McCain, said during a conference call organized by the Florida Republican Party that 'the Muslims have said either we kneel,

or they’re going to kill us.' Day added: 'I don’t intend to kneel, and I don’t advocate to anybody that we kneel, and John

doesn’t advocate to anybody that we kneel.'”

7/23/08 Obama incorrectly claims membership of Senate committee "Responding to an Israeli reporter’s

question Wednesday on his commitment to protect the Jewish state, Barack Obama pointed to a bill 'we passed' in the

U.S. Senate Banking Committee that tightens sanctions and authorizes divestment from Iran. 'My committee,' he called it.

  "Except that he isn’t a member of the Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs."

7/22/08 Democrat Evades Offshore Drilling Question
  "Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) repeatedly ducked a reporter’s questions Monday on whether he would vote to lift a

congressional moratorium on new offshore oil-drilling leases, a move that one poll indicates is supported by 74% of likely

voters.
   "At a press conference called to talk about legislation he has proposed to curb speculation in the oil market, Dorgan

responded to questions about whether he would vote to lift the moratorium on new off-shore drilling by focusing instead on

things he has done in the past to open up oil shale exploration, including in his home state of North Dakota and in the Gulf of

Mexico. . . .

  “'It’s time for Democrats to stop saying ‘No’ to American energy, stop saying ‘No’ to increasing our own oil and gas supplies,

and stop saying ‘No’ to clean alternative energy like nuclear power,' Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said in a statement last week

after President Bush lifted the executive moratorium on new offshore drilling."

7/22/08 Pelosi's Price

  Congress: Americans expect and need a Speaker of the House who offers common-sense leadership to direct bipartisan

 legislative action. Nancy Pelosi is not up to that task, and our nation is the loser.

  "It's bad enough that Rep. Pelosi refuses to embrace reality, evaluate facts and oversee meaningful debate. But the hissy fits

she throws against President Bush and the Republican minority are worse yet. This is a sad situation.

  "Pelosi's reaction to Bush's lifting of the ban on offshore drilling is a perfect example. She called the action a giveaway of

'more public resources to the very same oil companies that are sitting on 68 million acres of federal lands they've already leased.'

  "The key phrase is 'public' resources — not Democratic resources or Pelosi's resources — and polls clearly show Americans

 are behind coastal drilling. The speaker knows that.

  "Her demonizing of Big Oil doesn't make sense, either. The companies want to get oil out of the ground. Their exploratory

technology is very effective, and they're drilling extensively. But not all lease properties have oil that's readily recoverable.

  "Pelosi says the president's action is a "gift of more profits for the oil companies." Does she prefer that foreign, and often hostile, nations make the profits? Well, they are. She knows that, too. . . .

  "Last weekend, Pelosi responded to Bush's criticism of Congress by calling him 'a total failure.' It was a telling interview,

with CNN's Wolf Blitzer pressing her on topics including offshore drilling. Each time she blamed everybody but Congress.

  "The real failure is Pelosi's refusal to address reality and lead. The nation knows that."

7/22/08 The Messi-Uh Press Conference: "Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh"

   "RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number 26 first, Mike.  I didn't know we'd get to this this early.  I asked Cookie to put

together a little montage here of all the stuttering around that Obama did in his press conference today and I want you to hear

this because -- and we

didn't repeat anything here. It goes 46 seconds, and we're doing this because we hear constantly, "What a great orator and a

great communicator! Ohhhh, this man is smooth!"  Just listen.  This is a great illustration here of what happened when you

take the teleprompter and your prepared remarks away from the dude.
  "OBAMA:  Uh, uh, are, uh, uh, uh, um. That's -- that's a bunch -- so -- so let me tick these off. Deh... Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh, um, uh. So the issue is not a perception that, uh... Weh, weh, let me put it this way. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh,  We're -- we're trying to -- you know, we've got a bipartisan group here and -- and -- and, uh, uh, uh, uh, um, uh, uh, uh.

  "OBAMA:  Uh, uh, are, uh, uh, uh, um. That's -- that's a bunch -- so -- so let me tick these off. Deh... Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh,  We're -- we're trying to -- you know, we've got a bipartisan group here and -- and -- and, uh, uh, uh, uh, um, uh, uh, uh.

  "RUSH:  Now, this is nothing new to me, folks.  I have been noticing this throughout the whole campaign, throughout the

whole primary campaign. When this guy's doing a press conference, he's doing a town meeting, 'Uh, ah, uh, ah,' and everybody

 talked about what a great orator he is.  Today it reached the boiling point with me, with all this pap coverage that he's getting,

and all the lies the media telling about this guy and how he's the prime mover behind all these policy changes over there. I'm

watching him stutter around outside at this press conference, speaking so slowly, without any energy. He can barely be

understood."

7/21/08 Algore Is Out of His Mind

  "There was a story in ScienceandPublicPolicy.org that discusses the myth of consensus on global warming. 'The American Physical Society, the APS, has 50,000 physicists as members.  A unit of the American Physical Society

called the Physics and Society Forum is apparently not buying into this.'  Here's a quote from them.  'There is considerable

presence within the scientific community of people who do not agree with the IPCC,' the UN, 'and its conclusion that

manmade global warming emissions are very probably likely to be primarily responsible for global warming that's occurred

 since the Industrial Revolution.'

  "'A paper by Lord Monckton has everybody in a twitter.  Lord Monckton mathematically proved in his paper there is no

climate crisis at all.  He uses 30 equations to prove that the computer models used by the UN's climate panel were

preprogrammed with overstated values for the three
