John McCain for President 2008
I heard on the radio on 550 KFYI in Phoenix Arizona that there is a spreading phenomenon, at least in the greater Phoenix Arizona area. According to a caller to the JD Hayworth Show, there are many people who feel they can’t vote for anyone but John McCain because they have been left with no choice
Many of these people do not agree with McCain’s positions on various things but feel that the alternative is far worse.
To show that they are voting for McCain but are doing so under protest, these people are putting John McCain bumper stickers on their cars upside down and putting yard signs in their yard upside down.
It appears to be spreading as people stop and ask – “Do you know that your bumper sticker (or yard sign) is upside down? ” and are told why. Some people even put a note on their yard sign to explain it to anyone who stops by to be helpful and turn the sign around.
When You Sleep with a Missile
One-sided media coverage of the war against Israel exposed.
On Friday, Hezbollah fired katyusha rockets into Nahariya and hit a hospital. Only by the grace of God and the army’s forward thinking had the hospital been evacuated previously and despite massive damage to the building, no loss of life occurred.
… pictures continue to pour out of Lebanon that makes much of the world angry and at odds with Israel.
israelinsider: Views: When You Sleep with a Missile
Our government and politicians are taking to the airwaves to explain to the world why we do what we do, and how we do it. Kofi Annan’s insulting comment that we hit a UN base in Lebanon on purpose shows the extent that Annan has been corrupted by his personal politics. The media shows pictures from Lebanon and the tens of thousands of fleeing Lebanese with little regard to the fact that more than 300,000 Israelis have fled the battle areas as well and more than a million others have spent days and nights in bomb shelters.

Charlie Reina on Personal Politics and the Liberal Media
In an ideal world, personal politics would not color a correspondent’s reporting, and over the years, this ideal has been a core value of the American newsroom.
…
The question is, why is this so? Why are there so many liberals in this country’s major newspaper and broadcast network newsrooms?
I think the answer is, first of all, generational. The 1960s in particular were a time of great social upheaval in America, primarily because of the civil rights movement. We all may agree now on the legitimacy of that cause – (Who but the most racist of Americans would still advocate segregation?) – but it was no slam-dunk then. Whatever their personal politics might have been, reporters witnessed first-hand the horrors of racism: the lynchings and church bombings, the “whites only” lunch counters, the fire hoses and attack dogs that tossed civil rights marchers around like rag dolls. (When my children, now in their 20’s, saw film clips of this in high school, they couldn’t believe it was America.)
