Fox Snapshot 7

I love the disclaimer at the bottom of each snapshot.

This is not a scientific poll.

Of course it isn't. Science is for atheist liberals.

Fox Snapshot 6

"Civil War " in Iraq:

Made up by the media?

Is this the same civil war that Fox News was saying was a positive thing from Fox Snapshot 4?

Fox Snapshot 5

Take notice that Foley is labeled as Democrat in the first snapshot.

Democrat Scandals
Hastert says he won't resign over Foley Scandal

Ummmmmm? Wishful thinking? I guess Fox News finds there are two ways to handle this kind of situation. Convince the public your guy was playing for the other team, or point out your opponent's shortcomings to justify your own.

Fox Snapshot 4

"Upside" to civil war?

All-out civil war in Iraq:
Could it be a good thing?

Huh? No comment necessary...

Fox Snapshot 3

Hunting Accident Controversy:
How is VP Cheney feeling?

Controversy? What controversy? He shot an old man with a shotgun while hunting. Cheney's feelings? What about the guy that will have doctors pulling lead out of his skin for the next week?

Fox Snapshot 2

Best way to win war on terror:
Boycott Europe!

What? Next thing you know, Fox News will be saying that Europeans are terrorists, because they criticize American foreign policy. Oh, too late. Ultra Conservative Fox Zealots already believe that europeans are terrorists for having ideas of their own.

Greg Gutfield's Take
Are liberal blogs sending the same message as terrorists?

If you believe that anyone that has an opinion contrary to yours supports terrorism, then you may answer yes to this question.

If you believe that criticizing our current government is an act of terrorism, then you may answer yes to this question.

If you find Bill O'Reily to be the enlightening voice and the advocate for a healthy future America, then you may answer yes to this question.

If you enjoy sniffing glue and watching WWF Wrestlemania, then you may answer yes to this question.

Political Hero Wastes Time on Aliens

Sometimes I wonder just how much time our political heroes have on their hands. I should not be surprised considering how much time they have to think of new ways to screw over their constituents.

Today’s “Great American Misuse of Time and Money Award ” goes to Frederica Wilson (D-Miami), for her “important” battle against the use of the term “alien.”

Wilson does not like the fact that illegal immigrants are referred to as "illegal aliens." She wants to pass legislation that would require state agencies and officials to not use the term “illegal alien” in official documentation. Wilson really brought the facts to the table when she was quoted as saying, "An alien to me is someone from out of space."

And with that, I will leave you with a moment of silence………………………………............

Real “SCARY” ID

Real ID is a mandate contained within a military spending bill that is expected to be signed both the Senate and President Bush. This bill would require all people in the US to carry a Real ID. This federally mandated identification card would be required for air travel, bank account activation, and all government transactions, ranging from collecting Social Security payments to registering for a hunting and fishing license.

The Department of Homeland Security would be granted the authority to set the standards for the creation and use of Real ID. The cards would be issued by each state’s department of motor vehicles and will most likely take the place of state issued driver’s licenses and identification. If this is the case, the federal government will be in the pocket of every person that works and lives in the US.

What makes this even scarier is the very real possibility that these cards would be able to be scanned and read from a distance. The federal government has discussed using RFID technology in this type of identification card. This would allow others to access the data on your card without your knowledge, where ever you may be in public.

This technology has already been proven as unsecured. Hackers from around the world have made it one of their missions to crack this technology open, and they have been successful. They are aware that this will be the new standard for identification all around the globe, and that is why it is a priority within the hacking community to show just how fragile this method really is.

I am very afraid for our future. I can’t get those visions of futuristic societies gone horribly wrong with the implementation of ideas such as these. There is an important decision to be made. If it is left up to our political heroes, it can only turn out in disaster.

Richardson Risks Presidency for Marijuana

Democratic governor of New Mexico, Bill Richardson, has decided to possibly damage his position in the presidential race by using his political powers to do the right thing.

"So what if it's risky? It's the right thing to do," says Richardson, when it comes to signing a bill that would legalize the medical marijuana.

Lawmakers have already approved the bill that would allow patients to use the drug with the consent of their physician. At this point, all Richardson must do is to sign the bill in approval.

In many instances, presidential hopefuls make calculated risks to garner more support, but in this case, with this particular issue, Richardson knows that this stance could only hurt him in the race for the White House.

I believe that this is an important step towards dissolving the federal government’s power structure. States have the ability to make important decisions for their citizens. Localized authority can and should continue to demand a voice on many of the social issues which exist in the present.

This battle which the federal government has created is silly at best. Angel Raich suffers from scoliosis, a brain tumor, chronic nausea and other ailments. Her only hope for survival is the continued use of marijuana to ease the pain and increase her non-existent appetite. The Supreme Court has ruled that Angela is not immune from federal prosecution because the continued use of marijuana is the only available method for allowing her to live.

The Supreme Court has ordered Angela’s death sentence and refuse to see any positive uses for marijuana. Angela has chosen the route of civil disobedience, for that is the only option available to her at the present. If she discontinues her marijuana therapy, she will certainly die.

Bill Richardson understands that there is a time and place for medical marijuana, and in the case of Angela Raich, it is necessary for her very existence. Richardson knows what is right and is willing to put his presidential campaign on the line to support his beliefs. This is very rare.
