One rule of U. S diplomacy is that if you do something nice for the French you must also do something nice for the Germans. Following in the wake of the full red carpet treatment laid out for French President Sarkozy () Angela Merkel the German Chancellor got a special perk with an overnight stay at the Bush’s Prairie Chapel Ranch () outside Crawford. Texas. On Friday after picking up Ms. Merkel at the helicopter pad in the President’s white Ford pickup truck they motored through the ranch. Later during the visit they dined on hamburgers and since Chancellor Merkel originally came from Hamburg Germany she announced she felt right at home. t wasn’t all fun and games at the Ranch. The two leaders held a joint press conference on Saturday (). Among the issues discussed were Germany’s troops in Afghanistan. German efforts to aid reconstruction in Iraq sanctions on Iran and perhaps most interestingly: efforts to reform the feckless United Nations Security Council. Can we now once and for all put to rest the big lie by Democrats from Carter. Clinton (both Bill and Hillary). Kerry on down that President Bush has damaged our alliances around the world? Since the U. S and our allies invaded Iraq in 2003 nearly every major Western democracy has elected re-elected or in transitioned to leaders who are pro-Bush and pro-American. If you need a further reminder of this reality review the photos of the and the other capitals of Eastern Europe last Summer. And even more encouraging: dangerous despots like Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez who has aligned closely with Iran are being isolated that the Spanish King Juan Carlos went so far as to tell Chavez to “shut up” in a public meeting at the Summit of Latin American. Spanish and Portuguese leaders in Chile. All of the above must really gall moonbat lefties who refuse to see any good to come out of the Bush Administration. Maybe we need to invite King Juan Carlos over to offer similar advice to the Democrats! WASHINGTON — It’s been a tough week for democracy and American diplomacy. In Pakistan. President Pervez Musharraf pulled a coup against himself and U. S diplomats apparently were stunned. In Venezuela. President Hugo Chavez pulled a coup against his countrymen and U. S diplomats once again well … were stunned. The difference in political attention and media coverage accorded these two affairs has been — for lack of a better word — stunning.…Last week. Venezuela’s rubber-stamp legislature approved 69 constitutional changes drafted by their party boss. Hugo Chavez. If affirmed by referendum on Dec. 2 the amendments would dramatically expand the powers of Venezuela’s chief executive permit the government to seize private property without court approval virtually eliminate civil liberties and allow Chavez to serve — like Kim Jong Il in North Korea — as president for life. To make this deal attractive to the people the Venezuelan workday officially would be shortened to six hours. On Wednesday this week while Presidents Bush and Sarkozy toured George Washington’s gardens and Congress mulled the means of tightening the screws on Pakistan more than 80,000 people took to the streets of Caracas to protest the Chavez coup. When students gathered on the campus of Central University and refused to disperse as ordered by police the cops and National Guard troops pulled back allowing goons from Chavez’s United Socialist Party many wearing ski masks to open fire on the student gathering. Despite numerous accounts of the Caracas clashes in the Latin American and European media — even the BBC — there has been scant coverage in the U. S media — and almost no mention of Chavez’s machinations by our diplomats. The protests in Pakistan including pitiful pictures of jailed lawyers have gotten almost as much ink and airtime in the U. S as the Hollywood writers strike. President Bush even called Musharraf to tell him to take off his uniform and hold elections as promised. Yet official Washington has been practically mute in criticizing Chavez. Why the difference? Yet even as we observe Veterans Day honoring the service and sacrifice of our veterans. Democrats continue to deny that the surge is working and dismiss any idea that progress is being made in Iraq? What’s their problem? Have they just been so poisoned by hate and a lust for power that they have finally gone crazy? Joe Lieberman has the answer. The following are excerpts of a speech he delivered on Thursday to the John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies: “The Politics of National Security”Excerpts of an address by Senator Joseph Lieberman (Independent- CT)November 8. 2007 “Since retaking Congress in November 2006 the top foreign policy priority of the Democratic Party has not been to expand the size of our military for the war on terror or to strengthen our democracy promotion efforts in the Middle East or to prevail in Afghanistan. It has been to pull our troops out of Iraq to abandon the democratically-elected government there and to hand a defeat to President Bush. “Iraq has become the singular litmus test for Democratic candidates. No Democratic presidential primary candidate today speaks of America’s moral or strategic responsibility to stand with the Iraqi people against the totalitarian forces of radical Islam or of the consequences of handing a victory in Iraq to al Qaeda and Iran. And if they did their campaign would be as unsuccessful as mine was in 2006. Even as evidence has mounted that General Petraeus’ new counterinsurgency strategy is succeeding. Democrats have remained emotionally invested in a narrative of defeat and retreat in Iraq reluctant to acknowledge the progress we are now achieving or even that that progress has enabled us to begin drawing down our troops there.” “[T]here is something profoundly wrong–something that should trouble all of us–when we have elected Democratic officials who seem more worried about how the Bush administration might respond to Iran’s murder of our troops than about the fact that Iran is murdering our troops. There is likewise something profoundly wrong when we see candidates who are willing to pander to this politically paranoid hyper-partisan sentiment in the Democratic base–even if it sends a message of weakness and division to the Iranian regime.” –Elect Hillary. Get Bill Too (and all that goes with him?) Hillary Clinton had a bit of trouble on the campaign trail ever since performance on October 30th. So what’s the first thing a tough female candidate and lifelong advocate of feminism does when in trouble? She calls in her lying cheating husband to save her. Bill Clinton has been barnstorming Iowa in the last week (lock up your daughters) and as to compare Edward’s or Obama’s comments on Hillary to the Swift Boat attack ads that were so successful in unmasking the true character of 2004 presidential candidate John Kerry. At least that over the top remark took the focus off Hillary but did it help Hillary to refocus the nation’s attention on Bill? Bill’s very public activity in Hillary’s campaign can’t help but about the scandal plagued Clinton Administration even as Hillary continues to be faced with questions about more recent fundraising scandals. Roberta did get in a bit of hot water when she about McCain’s rival Romney and the Salt Lake City Olympics: “”As far as the Salt Lake City thing he’s a Mormon and the Mormons of Salt Lake City had caused that scandal. And to clean that up again it’s not a subject,” Roberta McCain said. It was a reminder about the early corruption which plagued the Salt Lake City Olympics before Romney a fellow Mormon was tapped to clean up the mess. No doubt that Roberta’s direct frank approach may be John McCain’s inspiration for the much ballyhooed “Straight Talk Express.” The state of Oklahoma has begun implementing a new law that is described as the toughest in the nation against illegal immigrants. Supporters of the law say it will reduce crime and curb use of taxpayer funded services by people who have no right to be in the United States. But Latino groups joined by civil rights groups and churches say the new law is fostering discrimination. VOA’s Greg Flakus has more in this report from Houston. The new law makes it illegal to hire transport or house an illegal immigrant and authorizes police in Oklahoma to assist federal immigration authorities in enforcing U. S immigration law. The law also denies state services to undocumented aliens and imposes penalties on employers who hire them. It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus. Environmental extremists notable politicians among them then teamed up with movie media and other liberal environmentalist journalists to create this wild “scientific” scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN. CBS. NBC the Democratic Political Party the Governor of California school teachers and in many cases well informed but very gullible environmentally conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minute documentary segment. I do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions of either party. However. Global Warming i e. Climate Change is not about environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you “believe in.” It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of life-long expertise. And I am telling you Global Warming is a non-event a manufactured crisis and a total scam. I say this knowing you probably won’t believe a me a mere TV weatherman challenging a Nobel Prize. Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be it. [] The number of eminent scientists and meteorologists who have debunked the massive socialist inspired lie that is man made global warming continues to grow. They can’t all be working for big oil! Speaking of global warming scaremongers you would have thought they would have learned their lesson after wrongly predicting 2006 would be as bad a hurricane season or worse than which was the most active Atlantic hurricane season in recorded history and brought us Katrina and Rita turned out to be the quietest hurricane season in ten years with no hurricane making landfall on the mainland United States. With just days to go in the the average predictions of 8 hurricanes and 4 major hurricanes is again WRONG! So far there were 5 named hurricanes and only 2 major storms. Only one made landfall on the mainland of the United States and promptly weakened below hurricane force. One unfortunate death was the result but also much needed rain helped alleviate drought stricken areas of the Southeast. More hurricanes and more intense hurricanes was said to be proof that manmade global warming was having an adverse effect on our climate and would ultimately be payback for ignoring the problem. Since that conclusion was based on one year’s can we now say that two years of record breaking minor storm activity proves just the opposite? Vice President Dick Cheney delivers remarks Sunday. Nov. 11. 2007 during Veterans Day ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington. Va. “Gathered as we are today in a time of war we’re only more sharply aware of the nation’s debt to the members of the armed forces,” said the Vice President adding. “They are constantly in our thoughts.” America may be a country founded in revolution but we’ve never been a warrior culture. We are a democracy defended by volunteers. We’re a peaceful nation with friends to the north and the south of us and great oceans to the east and the west of us. Yet these blessings alone have never been enough to assure safety at home or peace in our world. At times in our history arms and ideologies have been massed against us and we have heard the call to bring freedom new hope and healing to afflicted peoples. America has faced these challenges often at very high cost. We see part of that cost right here on the hills of Arlington. And the legacy of the American armed forces is truly extraordinary. They’ve thrown back tyrants liberated death camps carried out heroic rescues and kept the peace in volatile regions. Above all they have kept us free in the land we call home — free to live as we see fit free to work and worship and speak our minds and choose our own leaders. All of this we owe to the men and women who have taken that oath to defend America. And may the rest of us never take them for granted. Gathered as we are today in a time of war we’re only more sharply aware of the nation’s debt to the members of the armed forces. They are constantly in our thoughts. Our gratitude extends to their loved ones because military service is often a family commitment and they too are giving up a lot for the good of our whole nation. [] After one of the most vicious hate-filled attacks on Lieberman’s character in a campaign by Ned Lamont the rich guy who attempted to buy the election even liberal Connecticut turned against the politics of hate and big money and handed you paranoid goons the most bitter defeat of all 2006 a year where you swept the field. <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong>

story about its cuts publisher W. Stacey Cowles says “it’s heartbreaking.” Editor Steve Smith says the layoffs ordain cut the news budget from $9 million to $8 million a year and that “the employees who are losing their jobs are top-flight professionals.” and other dailies isn’t helping his reputation. Singleton reportedly went ballistic over a modest pro-union move by Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter — it seems Singleton ordered that blasted the governor as “a toady to fight bosses … a bag man for unions and special interests …” The alarmist editorial warned. “this may be the beginning of the end of Ritter as governor.” Colorado political blogger Jim Spencer says the editorial is “ … (and) only the third front-page editorial … in the past decade …” Singleton’s visceral reaction did not surprise journalism scholar John McManus. McManus an author and professor runs a San Francisco-area media watchdog group called GradetheNews org. McManus says Singleton’s hatred of unions revealed itself in his handling of a series of newspapers he bought recently in the Bay Area. “He established something called the Alameda News Group for the small papers he owned,” McManus said. “ANG papers were unionized.” McManus said. Singleton merged the nonunionized Times cater with the ANG to form the East Bay Area News Group. “Then,” McManus explained. Singleton said. “We now undergo more nonunion than union employees. So we will no longer discuss with the union because it doesn’t represent a majority of workers.” U. S newspapers are pitched in a battle for survival. In a highly competitive media world where readers have a wide range of information and entertainment sources most newspapers have realized that to survive they must find a niche – and become better at filling that niche than anyone else. Editor Cannon himself is controversial — he’s a former Republican op as I mentioned hit laid out his strategies for his newspaper’s survival in which wound up on a journalism website run by the Poynter Institute. One niche Cannon vows to fill: Mormons — members and organizations of the perform of the Latter-Day Saints (LDS) — will get special coverage from now on: “Dave Schneider becomes assistant managing editor for LDS faith and grow. Dave will oversee the existing perform.

"With this recent set of moves I evaluate we will see more rigorous recruiting of Journal's top talent.. they are going to conclude much less obtain and stable that the Journal ordain be the same credible trustworthy (newspaper)... For all the debate over most of the measure year over what would Rupert do it's fairly obvious to anyone from his history that he likes to run what he owns... It's ironic that it's really the team of Zannino and Crovitz.. that built the current Dow Jones to the inform that it was ripe for the kind of offer Murdoch produced." Murdoch began his career owning newspapers butprint media now accounts for only one-fifth of News Corp.'s revenue according to news industry analyst Ken adulterate with the merchandise investigate firm exceed. "He knows as well as anybody that news is a develop business. It's not going to change much." "It all comes down to determine. The Ottaway papers are worth less than they would undergo been a year ago."adulterate estimated the entire Ottaway chain might fetch 10 times the remove cash flow it generates or somewhere between $500 million and $600 million. A year ago it might have fetched 12 times change move he estimated. On Yahoo. Zillow deals: "They realize that some readers and buyers ordain come to their own newspaper sites but many others are cruising the Web looking for home values checking out Yahoo Finance searching for football scores... It's about going out to where the eyeballs are not just waiting for the eyeballs to go to them." "What they undergo to do is greatly calculate the be of online users the time spent by those users who make the online Journal really a daily homepage and they need to guard against the erosion of print circulation and print advertising because those are likely to deepen once they alter the online product remove." ``What Bruce Sherman missed is that he wasn't dealing with a few distressed companies but with a distressed industry. In the end he placed way too big a bet on newspapers and he stayed at the delay way too desire." “If Murdoch takes drink the pay wall the competition for the business reader ordain increase,” said Ken Doctor. “The Times has a strong franchise in business news and then The protect Street Journal can go directly at that and say. ‘We are the No. 1 business source and those of you using The New York Times business can go to us for free now. Business customers are among the most lucrative online and if Murdoch takes them away it’s the greatest cause to be perceived he could communicate.... Murdoch doesn’t be to blackball The New York Times but if he could take away 3 to 5 percent of its business then that’s going to cause to be perceived them when they’re already in a period of cause to be perceived. It’s not a knockout blow but it makes the forge The Times has to arise even higher as they make the transition from create to digital.” "Some Americans desire attitude with their political news," said adulterate. "But it's not so alter whether they like attitude with their financial news...."It's a smart play. But you've got to give it two or three years drink the road for them to evaluate out how all the pieces bring home the bacon together." "Nobody has a solution for the newspaper business today but investors are demanding from these companies some sort of plan to deliver returns in the next three to five years when it looks like the newspaper downturn is going to accelerate and get uglier," says Ken Doctor. "[Belo's] act gets the have price moving and it allows them to probably buy themselves a couple more years of less pressure."Belo is veering away from solutions adopted by Dow Jones (DJ) and Knight-Ridder... it's also a different come than the one taken by Tribune which is going private by loading its fit pelt with a colossal debt burden. "Every dollar a newspaper company puts into servicing debt is another dollar it can't invest into the business itself to keep it going and alter to new technology," says adulterate. Two recent newspaper cutbacks show those cuts are coming deeper and faster. New owners are no longer taking months to make cuts now moving at light go to reduce costs. On Thursday we saw the the Herald Argus ("Where local news comes first!") a daily of about 13,000 circulation in. Indiana was cutting up to half of its 80-person staff. Paxton Media Group publisher of 32 daily newspapers with a total circulation of 370,000 bought the cover from Small Newspapers closing the sale Oct. 1. Recently some 30-plus staffers have been told they're terminated some by the certified mail. If you think readers don't notice who owns their local paper and or what it means to editorial quality check out the on the Herald Argus' own sale story. Readers get it. Community coverage can't help but be significantly curtailed with such cuts furthering papers' downward turn. They become become less essential. Then readers' drift becomes a stampede. Finally advertisers find less of a mass market and further reduce spending. We can now see farther drink the end of that displace than we ever have before. Farther east in Connecticut a Hearst/Media News partnership has closed on its acquire of the (Stamford) Advocate and Greenwich Time from Tribune. Gannett had bought papers earlier but then backed out of the deal when an said it couldn't end the existing union contract. So Tribune made a new with Hearst (which is having Media News a publisher of 10 Connecticut papers post-sale manage the properties). that sale closed at the month's beginning. 13 veteran newsroom staffers their jobs were history. Among those on the list were top-ranking editors including Editorial Page Editor Joy Haenlein,Sports Editor Bob Kennedy. Features and Food Editor Valerie Foster. Design Director Nelson Martinez. Weekend Editor Jonathan Rougeot and change surface Greenwich Time Managing Editor Bruce Hunter. We're reading editor's note after editor's say it seems but here's one that connects the passing of these staffers into the papers' 180-year history. Worth reprinting from theof by the (Stamford) Advocate's City Editor John Breunig: "There's a turn in the newspaper industry that suggests newspapers are'better than they undergo to be,' that readers don't really want or needquality. But I can't imagine any of these editors settling for anythingless than excellence. They were part of a 180-year tradition at thesepapers that ordain act," he said. "They were the populate who made TheAdvocate and Greenwich Time the beat small papers in the country - allof them were committed to community journalism." These cuts are coming at an unprecedented evaluate not surprising given both the plummeting circulation and ad numbers. Who knows what 2008 has in store?

Cities of lighten: The Rise and Fall of Islamic Spain aired this week on PBS in my viewing area. The film which looks at the period of “Moorish” command in European history when religious diversity was accommodated within a social and political system and culture among Muslims. Christians and Jews thrived is part of a renaissance movement to reclaim the history of religious tolerance in Islam. The Unity Production Foundation producers of Cities of lighten is a nonprofit educational foundation that works through the media to create films and documentaries that answer the create of peace and understanding. Many of UPF’s current projects focus on creating greater understanding about Muslims and Islam. (See American Muslim Teens Talk and Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet.)Additionally. An Esoteric seek for the Golden Age of Andulusia is a conference to be held this September in Granada. Spain. Theologians authors artists poets and others will come together to investigate the extraordinary culture of religious tolerance in medieval Spain that produced works of enduring spiritual and artistic genius—such as the mystical traditions in Judaism and the writings of Spanish Christian mystics St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross. (Sojourners writer Mirabai Starr will be making a presentation on both these saints. See her bind. A Garden of Righteousness in the August 2005 issue.)According to Irshad Manji author of The New York Times’ bestseller The Trouble with Islam Today many Muslims are attempting to restore in Islam the animate of ijtihad (pronounced ij-tee-had). Islam’s own tradition of creative reasoning. “As globalization persists and pluralism spreads,” writes Manji in her column On Faith. “both Muslims and non-Muslims be to experience that Islam offers a positive alternative to the tribal mentality.“Ijtihad has a history of achievement. In the early centuries of Islam. 135 schools of interpretation flourished. In Muslim Spain scholars would inform their students to abandon ‘expert’ opinions about the Qur’an if their conversations with the living breathing Qur’an produced better evidence for their peaceful ideas. And Cordoba one of the most sophisticated cities in Muslim Spain housed 70 libraries. That rivals the number of public libraries in most cosmopolitan cities today!“From the 8th to the 12th centuries the ‘gates of ijtihad’ - of discussion consider and dissent - remained wide open. This is also when Islamic civilization led the world in ingenuity. If ever we Muslims needed to renew our commitment the emerging generation. I continually hear this question: ‘Is there a way to harmonise our faith with freedom of an international network of reform-minded Muslims who want to bring home the bacon with Christian and Jewish allies in promoting religious diversity and a renewal of the creative life-promoting Spirit that is our faiths. In the midst of extreme religious intolerance and violence celebrating the richness of the arts together is one way to move beyond simply “religious tolerance” or “interfaith understanding” to deep enjoyment and savoring of the flowering imaginations in our shared and diverse heritages and traditions. Rose Marie Berger associate editor of Sojourners is a Catholic peace activist and poet.
