Ok, I for one would like to know why everyone thinks this is bad? If he's trying to keep the country safe from Islamofacists then that's a good thing isn't it? It's not like he's trying to stop democracy, he's trying to protect it from Al-Cockos.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Democracy fails when the majority of the people are against God. (The Judaio-Christian One, not the moon rock one.)

Democracy, like any government is a tool. When in the wrong hands, the tool can be used for some really bad things.

Ooo, I Just read what Mark Felton had to say, and wanted to reitterate it here:

It is not democracy that is virtuous but enforceable constitutions that protect human rights.

(democracy is a terrible form of government, cruel, belligerent, and unsustainable)

Pakistan must be controlled by a pro-western military dictatorship for the next many decades (even a US military dictatorship) until such time as the nukes are removed or the militant Islamic population, about 50% gievs up their religion and swear off the explicit mandate of their cult to destroy non-Muslim nations.

The United States will take military action to prevent the democratic take over of Pakistan by militant Muslims, if Musharaf cannot. Approx 50% of the population are radical supporters of Al Qaida.

In the past 4 years the US has opened up 3 new military bases 9with runways) and signed a military cooperation agreement with the moderate, internationalist, government.

The US will capture and control the nuclear facilities in the event of the wrong people taking control of the government, whether by democratic processes or not.

Media blackout? Sounds like a good time to bomb the areas in Western Pakistan that is housing the bad guys.

Rice calls for Mushie to “take off his uniform.”

Is this back page news already? Even the MSM has this as current events and the thousands of Turks massed on the Iraq border.

“I dig Beck.”

I like him because he’s neither fair nor balanced. The truth as he sees it, and nothing but. And he’s a conservative! His show is the only moment my TV will ever be tuned to CNN. I wish FoxNews would replace Hannity/Colmbs with Limbaugh/Coulter.

I read on another thread that Glenn’s contract with Clear Channel radio was renewed for 5million.

Now what does Glen do? (close to this) Gives all his staff a 70% raise and 100% med.ins coverage.

As he said if he did not have all that talent around him to help put the show on the show would just be some babbling goofy guy (him) and would not be a success.
