Representative John Murtha (D,PA) joins Sen. Ted Kennedy's retreat and surrender policy. Only difference is Murtha wants to leave Iraq in six months, Kennedy's plan might take a little longer. First Bill Clinton (D,world), now John Murtha, both of them acting as the tip of the spear in the war on terror, al-Qaeda's spear. And both with the same result. Meltdown in the Arab world, flourishing of terrorist organizations, more mass graves in Iraq, and a less safe world. That, and the realization that the US lacks the will to fight a war that it can't win in 100 days.
I guess these Democrats just won't be happy until our restaurants and subways are getting blown up, because that is guaranteed to happen if they had their way. Maybe this and this are all part of Karl Rove's plan, but I doubt it. Seems to be more like a Democrat plan for retreat and surrender. At the very least, they ought to be bright enough to tell the difference from being unpatriotic and being stupid.

Right on queue, Al Franken is out of the box calling an increase A CUT. Not only that, but the Republicans are denying food stamps to 220,000 to 250,000 'low income' people. Are there any other 'income people' that get food stamps? It's just one misrepresentation after one lie. And music to the wacko left's ears, and repulsion to the uninformed. When spending increases compared to last year go up 7% instead of 7.3%, that does not constitute a cut. And, dividing that .3% difference into an average cost of a food stamp recipient, that does not take food stamps away from anybody. Al Franken needs to add himself in his next book of liars, and the rest of us will at least know when a cut is a cut.
This morning, House Republicans regrouped and narrowly approved a broad five-year budget plan "that squeezes programs for the poor, for college students and for farmers."
What would the budget plan do? According to the non-partisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities: The House budget bill would still deny low-income people each month by 2008, and would cut basic food aid by $700 million over five years.
- The House bill still would allow states to impose substantial new co-payment and premium fees on millions of low-income Medicaid beneficiaries, and to scale back substantially the health care services that the Medicaid program provides.
- The House bill still would result in an estimated 330,000 children in low-income working families losing child care assistance in 2010 as a result of the low child care funding levels and unfunded new work requirements in the bill.

It used to be that California was a five years ahead of the time in this country. Like trends or some such would start in California, but would take about 5 years before it 'migrated' to the east coast. In a similar migration, albeit a much longer term, Charles Krauthammer says what we are seeing in France is but the beginning of what is to come in Europe. Not the rioting, but a Muslim migration that will overtake Europe. Thanks to GOP Bloggers.
Voila, No More France.
Many people love to taunt the French, but we should not applaud its inevitable decline. Read these two columns about how France is disappearing before our eyes. This is not good for America. First, Mark Steyn.
France faces tough choices and, unlike Baghdad, in Paris you can't even talk about them honestly. As Jean-Claude Dassier, director-general of the French news station LCI, told a broadcasters' conference in Amsterdam, he has been playing down the riots on the following grounds: "Politics in France is heading to the Right and I don't want Right-wing politicians back in second or even first place because we showed burning cars on television."
Oh, well. You can understand why the Quai d'Orsay is relaxed about Iran becoming the second Muslim nuclear power. As things stand, France is on course to be the third. You heard it here first. You probably won't hear it on Mr Dassier's station at all. Second, Charles Krauthammer.
On the one side are the protester-arsonists, many if not most of them Muslim, whom the Interior Minister called racaille (rabble)--young, restless, violent, vibrant, angry, jobless, envious and fecund. And on the other side is an aged and exhausted civilization, the hollowed-out core of European Christendom, static, aging, contented, coddled, passive and literally without faith. Who would you think will win in the end?...
France thus is approaching 10% Muslim. But things do not stand still. Even if there were no further immigration, which is a pipe dream, birth rates alone will soon drastically alter the balance. Muslims have the highest birth rate--three times the rate of non-Muslims--of any demographic group in Europe. The most common name for a newborn in neighboring Brussels is Mohammed. Childbearing rates among non-Muslim Frenchmen are well below replacement levels. The old French, like the rest of Europe, are literally disappearing.
"With current trends," Professor Bernard Lewis has said, "Europe will have Muslim majorities in the population by the end of the 21st century." The future? "Europe will be part of the Arab west, of the Maghreb [Muslim northwest Africa]." Today's rioting youth are just a bit ahead of their time in claiming their upcoming patrimony.
