You can watch these actions and judge for yourself with these links.

First, to some Muslim and now to Japan's leader. This guy bows to every leader out there but won't put his hand on his heart during the pledge to his own country. He needs to be ashamed on himself! And so should we. It's understandable to give respect for a culture but notice not even the Japanese leader is bowing that much. And some will argue he was just following their customs but there is an underlying factor here and apparently a pattern.

America has a traditional policy of not bowing down to any earthly leader since the days of it's conception. In the 1908 Olympics we made it known to the world that our "flag bows before no earthly king". That year the Olympics were held in England. All of the flag bearers dipped the flag as a sign of respect for the king of England as they passed by. We did not! Some of the Irish-Americans even threatened our flag bearer sbout even thinking about it. We repeated this act in the 1992 summer olympics in Spain. All of the other countries to pay respect to the king of Spain bowed their heads as their own country passed by the king's seat. Not us!

Even our own Constitution in Article 1, Section 9, Paragraph 7 says:

• No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State.

If we can not accept a title ourselves then we should not be bowing down to any leader who has that title. It may not be law but it is one thing we have always stood for. Bowing to any earthly king is a spit in the face to all of those who fought to get rid of tyranny and monarchs. Great leader of the FREE WORLD!

#53 The Media

Last month "President" Obama charged Fox News with being biased and manipulative in what it airs and then committed a crime (scroll down to #53) by refusing to allow Fox to do an interview with a piece of the Obama administration; the Pay Czar. He also said it wasn't a real news station and that is how he justified trying to stop the interview. Not a real news station? Doesn't news report and let us decide? Fox is the only station that will always have the opposing side on to give their views and support their cause. Many however (liberals) will refuse to go on because they know they can not hold their own against their own enhancements of stories and stretching of the facts when they are called out to do so. If the litmus test is seeing if shows are one-sided then all of them fail to a certain point. But perhaps Fox is the one that passes the most.

Here are the results from last moth's poll: "Which news shows do you trust?"

• (74%) FOX.
• (32%) Nightly Network (ABC, CBS, NBC).
• (27%) Only local.
• (23%) None.
• (18%) CNN/Headline.
• (11%) PBS.
• (6%) All.
• (4%) CNBC.
• (4%) MSNBC.

With people like Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews and Keith Oberman it's not a wonder why only 4% of the people trust any NBC affiliate. If any body is one sided it's this group. A lesbian, a show hog and a nut case do not make up America's dream team of news casters. CNN with America's number one talk show host and greatest example of morality, Larry King, as the main headliner can not be trusted either. That leaves at least the nightly networks. It is so great to be able to trust people like Dan Rather and CBS to get the story straight. What? Really? 2004 campaign? He lied? Well there goes network nightly news. Please do not say PBS can't be trusted! I sure hope Ernie can still have his rubber ducky.

Fox is like the Elizabeth Hassleback in the news' version of The View; a body surrounded by older, fatter, uglier and lopsided people distorting the truth so that they can look better on TV and in the meantime trying to defame the one who stands alone. Truth be known. Fox is the only station that will give all sides of the issue. Yes, they may be conservative and give their final thoughts but at least they will give you all the facts first. That is probably why you all voted for Fox.

#52 From Demigogue to Demigod

Hail to the chief, no not Obama, Clinton. In yet another show for American stupidity in terms of leadership (a la Nobel) the world this time has praised former president Bill Clinton. Kosovo, a country of the former Yugoslavian nation, and former Serbian province, has erected (no pun intended) a statue for Clinton on November 1, 2009, claiming that he is viewed as a hero for getting the UN to launch air strikes at Serbian nationalists who were trying to stop Kosovo's independence movement. The air strikes lasted a little over two months and the UN forces moved in to settle the dispute in March of 1999. That actually was the right thing to do. We are the defenders of independence. We are the model for those who are oppressed by tyranny. But what is the rest of the story? In 1995 leaders of the area in dispute (Yugoslavia and Bosnia) were brought together in Dayton, Ohio to end the 6-year long Bosnian War. This war had been created because of the falling of the Soviet Empire and independence movements all over the world had begun. But the Bosnian War didn't end because of the accord as Clinton thought. The war moved into other places such as Kosovo. And for three and 1/2 more years the destruction went on. But where was Clinton? Oh, yes, he was in locked rooms with a certain woman who was not Hillary. Thousands of lives were still being destroyed and only after his domestic problems were taken care of by a bogus vote in the Senate for removal after impeachment did he decide to bolster his image and attack the Serbian army. What a hero. John Wayne would be proud.

The following is from:

 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/ap_on_re_eu/eu_kosovo_bill_clinton: "I never expected that anywhere, someone would make such a big statue of me," Clinton said of the gold-sprayed statue weighing a ton (900 kilograms).

He probably didn't expect one in public but odds are he built one for himself and always wanted one to sooth his ego. Stalin are you listening?
