Boston Globe is too extreme for me to retire

Folks, you can read the whole, ridiculous editorial at boston.com but the key sentence of the completely-lost-it Left's position on abortion is contained in the following sentence, "It is hard to see how forcing a frightened 15-year-old to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term will improve the life of the teen or her child (Pregnant and Frightened, Boston Globe, July 29, A12)."

For those that missed it, earlier in the week, the U.S. Senate passed a bill making it a crime to transport a minor across state lines to have an abortion without notifying the parents. This, of course, puts the unhinged Left on tilt; the Left stops thinking and it writes stupid lead editorials. Quick aside: the Editorial Board of the Boston Globe is six white men, a white woman and a Hispanic woman (it looks much more like the U.S. Supreme Court it is always railing about than it looks like "America"; but, as we have come to learn, do as liberal extremists say and not as liberal extremists do).

I'm going to skip over the words in this sentence that were clearly included for propaganda purposes and have nothing to do with the issue at hand; these words are "forcing", "frightened", "15-year-old" and "unwanted". Nothing but propaganda.

But, I cannot overlook the idiocy contained in the last half of the sentence, "improve the life of . . . her child". Wow, the Boston Globe used the word "child". Obviously the Boston Globe was not referring to the fetus; it obviously assumes birth to use this word. But, killing the unborn "child" improves the unborn child's life? Are they stark raving mad? The elite Left thinks starting a life as a possibly unwanted (she's 15 and frightened, after all; who knows if she's thinking clearly enough to definitively say she doesn't want the baby) baby justifies killing the baby before birth! They really do think this. My goodness, I wish I were so intelligent that I could begin to understand the clearly enlightened philosophical brillance of this thinking. The depths of their collective depravity cannot be measured. Yes, they are stark raving mad.

ZACKlyRight Completes First Year!

Thank you to everyone that has visited this blog over the last year. I'm coming up to my one year anniversary (August 2, 2005 was inaugural post), but I'm also coming up to a long family vacation. I'm going to miss about a week of posting; I'll be back on July 29 or 30.

If you are new to this site and haven't read all of my posts, or you are regular but want to re-read some of the better posts, according to me, please try these:

August 23, 2005 - some very prophetic observations about the Dem. Presidential hopefuls

November 5, 2005 and April 25, 2006 - heavy abortion related stuff

December 14, 2005 - some race relations observations

February 12 & 14, 2006 - U.S. Veterans

May 10, 2006 - President Clinton on Iraq

If you don't like these suggestions, simply google "ZACKlyRight keyword" and you'll probably find a post of mine on the keyword topic. There are many, many posts on the most stupid United States Senator, John F. Kerry, but just google "ZACKlyRight John F. Kerry keyword" and you'll find my post on the Great Equivocator and the keyword topic.

With this post, I have posted 127 times in just over 350 days; that's a post about every three days.

Anyway, while I'm on vacation, I hope those that read my blog will leave me a comment on this post letting me know if they like the site, enjoyed the posts, or simply think it's time I shut it all down after one year: my objective being met, everyone knows the Boston Globe is a haven for Left-wing extremists and everyone takes this into account when they read a Boston Globe "news" story or editorial.

Oil Grab? Then Grab It and Release It.

As we all know from our liberal friends, the war in Iraq is all about the Bush Administration seizing the oil of Iraq ("blood for oil" they repeat over and over and over with just about as much zeal as they repeat the "stolen election of 2000" and "Bush lied"). Well, I just paid $3.05 for a gallon of gasoline with the prospect of paying more in the very near future. Can the liberal extremists please tell me when President Bush is finally going to take Iraq's oil and give it to us?

Your Mother Wears Army Boots!

I'm positive I was six-years old when I walked away, laughing, at the first person that told me my mother wore army boots. But, then, I was a mature six.

Also, FIFA has announced an investigation into the whole head-butting incident which may end in the head-butter being relieved of his trophy; the Boston Globe and the Wall Street Journal know this so there is very little chance my insightful letters will be published. The first hearing date is July 20, so no developments on this story for a few days.

Again, there is no evidence that FIFA reads ZACKlyRight and that FIFA opened its investigation after a visit here.

The World Knows Best; the Americans Are to Blame

This went to the Boston Globe because former Boston Bruin, Marty McSorely, was run out of town on a rail because he tapped a guy upside the head with a hockey stick and the guy fell like a Frenchman tackled in a World Cup soccer match:

Editor,

Do you think Marty McSorely, among others, is a bit confused by head-butter, Zinedine Zidane, being awarded the Golden Ball for being the Most Valuable Player (italics mine for emphasis) in this year's World Cup?

How exactly do parents explain to their kids that head-butting an opponent is wrong?

Given we're so intellectually inferior to the World here in the United States, maybe FIFA can enlighten us with a defense, I mean, explanation. (End of first letter.)

This went to the Wall Street Journal because they published a partial Zidane apologist piece in yesterday's paper:

Editor,

If the United Nations can allow Venezuela and Cuba (among others) to sit on the UN Commission for Human Rights (italics mine for emphasis), then I'm not surprised in the least that another world body, FIFA, can award the Golden Ball (the World Cup MVP trophy) to a head-butting runner-up (Zidane, op-ed, July 11, A12).

The World, indeed, is mad. (End of second letter.)

International journalists (not FIFA, by the way; I messed this up in my letter), those that probably refuse to call the men that bombed London, Madrid, and Mumbai terrorists, gave Zidane the MVP Award! Again, I must be an idiot because I don't agree with the "enlightened". I guess I just don't "understand" Z. Zidane. I must be so intolerant. It must be the Italian's fault. No, it must be America's fault, we market Grand Theft Auto to the World, after all. The World is exonerated. America head-butted the 2006 World Cup. Quick, let Sean Penn and Tom Petty know.

North Korea's Brilliant Asymmetric Warfare Play

Two more letters submitted to the Boston Globe over the weekend:

Editor,

Knowing how susceptible the Hate-America First crowd and the liberal print media are to asymmetric warfare (see the recent suicides at Guantanamo Bay, for example), if I were Kim Jong-Il, leader of North Korea, the "failure" of the recently launched Taepodong-2 missile is exactly what I would have ordered my nuclear weapons technicians to orchestrate. The extremists on the Left, and even some moderates, fell right into line, "North Korea is no threat."

Or, I take absolutely no comfort, as the liberal extremists apparently do, in nobody knowing where a nuclear-warhead-tipped missile may land. In other words, I don't think US national security policy should be "let'em launch and let us hope". (End of first letter.)

In the following letter, I changed "liberal extremists" to "people" on the off-chance that the Letters Editor is tiring of my use of the phrase; though, the Letters Editor doesn't seem to tire of letters that call President Bush a "liar" and "stupid" and "arrogant", and, well, you get the point.

Editor,

If the people mocking President Bush for not attacking North Korea or Iran given his authorization to liberate Iraq after 12 years of diplomacy and 17 failed UN Resolutions spanning three Administrations only knew how stupid they sounded. (End of second letter.)

I'm An Idiot! (Misplaced Trust in Democrats)

The last sentence of my last post gave kudos to the Democrats in the New Jersey Assembly that were preventing Jon Corzine, the liberally extreme New Jersey governor, from raising the state sales tax by 17%. Well, the Assembly folded quicker than Sen. John F. Kerry ever has and gave the Governor exactly what he wanted with no concessions to the taxpayers of New Jersey. I'm an idiot for thinking, even for a second, that Democrats could resist the innate need to raise taxes.

North Korea, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, Gov. Jon Corzine

I've written it a thousand times: President Bush is using all diplomatic tools available to him with regard to Noth Korea and he's being criticized for it from the loony Left! On two significant fronts, he is trying to put as much diplomatic pressure on North Korea as possible. First, he continues to insist on six-party talks, including those countries that are neighbors to North Korea and those nations that also have a vested interest in North Korea not becoming the world's next nuclear power. Those countries are Russia, Japan, China and South Korea; they are hardly insignificant countries. Second, he is using the complete diplomatic force of the United Nations. So far, not one country has spoken in support of North Korea's recent missile tests. Many nations have made harsh statements against the tests. And, several UN resolutions are being drafted that will condemn the tests and call for sanctions if North Korea does not suspend additional tests. Or, anytime the hate-Bush Left wants to ridicule the meaningfulness of global condemnation and UN sanctions is fine by me. There is simply no pleasing the blind-with-hatred, logic-lost, liberals.

Poor Sen. Joseph Lieberman. Just six years after being used by his Party to run for Vice President of the United States of America (the first Jewish-American to be nominated for either of the top two spots on a major party ticket and the moderate counter-weight to the ultra-liberal Al Gore), he's being treated as an outcast by the leaders of his Party. Obviously, as a person that roots for the United States and against the terrorists, I've always respected and admired Sen. Lieberman. There's a post down below someplace where I make specific reference to Sen. Lieberman's devotion to principle and honor (even if he is misguided sometimes on tax and abortion issues). However, Sen. Lieberman is now being criticized by the liberal media and others because he wants to hold onto his Senate seat so badly that he's vowing to run as an unenrolled candidate in the November general election if he should lose his Party's primary election in early August.

For those not paying attention, almost everything in the state of New Jersey is at a stand-still as the newly elected Governor, liberally extreme, former United States Senator, Jon Corzine has orchestrated a nearly-complete shutdown because he alientated himself from the Democrats in the state legislature. Uniter or divider, I wonder. Anyway, the Governor wants to raise the state sales tax 17% and the Democrats in the legislature are balking. By missing a July 1 deadline for a budget, the state cannot fund non-critical services so most of the government is closed. Kudos to the Democrats that don't think the taxpayers are mindless money trees that can continuously tolerate tax increases.

Massive, unwarranted, spying?

A couple of days ago, the Boston Globe printed an essay by an attorney that addressed the media's responsibility when it obtains national security information. The essay devoted much time to President Richard Nixon, the Pentagon Papers, the New York Times and the U.S. Supreme Court. Well, as you can image, the writer hates President Bush. How do I know? Because even supposed intellectuals that hate the President cannot hide their true feelings about him even when there is no need to so expose themselves.

Oh, and, yes, it's the July 4 Holiday weekend so I'm electing a super short post by just re-printing my letter to the Boston Globe in response:

Editor,

Mr. Thomas D. Herman wrote a fairly decent scholarly piece, well documented facts with logical or arguable positions, addressing the responsibility of the press when it comes into possession of confidential national security information (For the press, responsibility is balancing act, June 30, A17).

Then he flushes his entire essay with the following sentences about surveilling terrorists, "This (the surveillance of terrorists) is nothing new: Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said that 'for as long as electronic communications have existed, the United States has conducted surveillance of [enemy] communications.' Massive, unwarranted spying on Americans, however, is new."

Massive, unwarranted spying on Americans? Oh, he must mean the NSA program briefed to Congress that is limited to contacts between a suspected al Qaeda operative where at least one of the participants on the telephone is outside the United States. The hate-Bush hyper-ventilating on the Left betrays even the most scholarly of arguments as gratuitous, fear-mongering, truth-contorting replaces reasoned thinking.

Great, the Boston Globe published another hate-Bush op-ed piece by another hate-Bush propagandist. Whose undecided mind was this essay supposed to influence? Whose decided mind was this essay supposed to change? Or, simply, was this essay just more hate-Bush food for the already infected? (End of letter.)
