Hagel will reveal plans to run for President on Monday

Posted by Husker Neocon on Wednesday, March 07, 2007 11:32:03 PM
It was only a matter of time until he did it..............

From the Lincoln Journal Star Wednesday, Mar 07, 2007:

     Amid signs he might be ready to dip his toes into the 2008 presidential waters, Sen. Chuck Hagel said Wednesday he’ll reveal his future political plans on Monday.
     Hagel chose the campus of the University of Nebraska at Omaha, his alma mater, to make the announcement.

I haven't like Hagel since he moved back to Nebraska so that he could run for Senate.  Unfortunately, he was able to sway enough voters, and had no real competition. So he won the Senate seat, and began grooming himself for President.

One thing Chuck didn't realize on the way to his run for the Oval Office.  He forgot that Republicans are conservative, and don't like someone who sways with popular opinion.  Hagel sways with the polls,and aligns himself with liberal Democrats in Congress and the Senate.

Channel 8 in Lincoln did a poll on their newscast.  70% of the respondents said that they would not vote for Hagel for President.

He will never get out of the primary.  He will waste money.  He will lose his Senate seat next election.

Not soon enough.

UNL sues Department of Homeland Security

Posted by Husker Neocon on Tuesday, March 06, 2007 4:13:10 PM
From today's Lincoln Journal Star:

    The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has sued the Department of Homeland Security in a ramped-up effort to bring a long-awaited hire to the United States.
    UNL filed a lawsuit Friday in U.S. District Court asking a judge demand federal officials to consider the visa petition of Waskar Ari, a Bolivian professor hired by UNL in 2005 to teach courses on Latin American history.
   Ari has been stuck at home in La Paz for nearly two years as officials stall approval of his work visa for security-related concerns.
    His Washington, D.C.-based attorney, Michael Maggio, believes the delay may be thanks to a mistaken suggestion Ari is linked to Bolivian president Evo Morales, a frequent and harsh critic of the Bush administration.
     Maggio, also one of two lawyers representing UNL in its lawsuit, says the idea is “preposterous.” And he’s not convinced homeland security officials were even authorized to conduct such an extensive background check on Ari — hence the basis for the suit.
   “We don’t know what they were thinking, and we don’t even know if they were thinking at all,” Maggio said Monday from his Washington office. “And you wouldn't’t think it would take this long to figure out who’s the naughty and who’s the nice.”

In a time where the University of Nebraska has asked the State of Nebraska for more money, saying that they would suffer hardships because of slashed budgets, is this a responsible thing to do?

Of course not. 

Liberal universities, like UNL, are fighting a growing movement questioning whether they are teach or indoctrinating their students. Yet they feel that they need to sue the Department of Homeland Security to allow someone into the United States who could be a threat to our security? 

I think the University of Nebraska Lincoln has once again proved the point.  Universities want to create little images of themselves, to further their liberal agenda.   Without these young liberals, the movement dies.  After all, when all of us get jobs and start to actually raise a family, we get smart and get conservative.

Ann Coulter's Comments at CPAC

Posted by Husker Neocon on Sunday, March 04, 2007 12:38:30 AM
From nytimes.com:

WASHINGTON, March 3 — Three of the leading Republican presidential candidates on Saturday denounced one of their party’s best-known conservative commentators for using an antigay epithet when discussing a Democratic presidential contender at a gathering of conservatives here.

The remarks by Ann Coulter, an author who regularly speaks at conservative events, were sharply denounced by the candidates, Senator John McCain of Arizona, Rudolph W. Giuliani of New York and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts. Their statements came after Democrats, gay rights groups and bloggers raised a storm of protest over the remarks.

Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference before an overflow crowd on Friday, Ms. Coulter said, “I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.”

Of course, immediately people try to appease the crowd of political correctness, and say that Ann was out of line.

IT WAS A JOKE!  Where in the hell did America lose its sense of humor?

Ann finishes of the situation with the funiest thing I have ever heard her say:

Ms. Coulter, asked for a reaction to the Republican criticism, said in an e-mail message: “C’mon, it was a joke. I would never insult gays by suggesting that they are like John Edwards. That would be mean.”

Please, fellow conservatives, lets try moving back to reality.  She meant no insult to the gays or lesbians.   She was making a joke about the "Breck Girl" (LImbaugh's term) John Edwards.

Then, not to be outdone by Coulter, Edwards says something that is even more funny:

Mr. Edwards’s aides responded with an e-mail message that attacked Ms. Coulter and urged supporters to donate to Mr. Edwards’s campaign. “John was singled out for a personal attack because the Republican establishment knows he poses the greatest threat to their power.”

Damn, now that is funny.
