Two Articles: Geneva Convention / Supreme Court.
« Lexington Kentucky's Smoking Ban | Main | Get Over It »Thomas Sowell has a greatarticle covering the latest scandal in Iraq concerning the soldier'sshooting of a wounded terrorist. He lays out what the "the Geneva Convention"is and how it applies to our fight with terrorists. He rightly points outthat the treatment of prisoners of war do not apply to terrorists sincethey do not wear uniforms from a nation that has signed the treaty. Therefore,they are not covered by the treaty. Great read!
Another interesting
The most fascinating parts of the story come from polling data. A pollfrom AP/Ipsos and Fox News both show that 59% of registeredvoters (not likely voters) are comfortable with Bush's selecting the nextnominee. Furthermore, another AP/Ipsos poll shows that 56% wanted asomewhat to very conservative supreme court justice.
Finally, an ABC News poll showed that 56% of respondents wanted thenext person appointed to the court be someone who favors states powerrather than federal power. The same poll also found that 60% want anominee who will follow the original intentions of the authors of theConstitution rather than interpreting what the Constitution means in currenttimes.
These are unbelievable numbers. No matter how much the MSM, the schoolsystem, and the universities try to shove liberalism upon the mainpopulation, Middle America continues to ignore the siren's call. Insteadthe people of Middle America understand our founding fathers better thanthe elitists. The silent majority understands the principles that made our country great and they continues to stand up for those ideals and traditions.
