Year: 2005

You always have to take the numbers from any one poll with a grain of salt, but if these numbers in the latest Harris poll are even close to correct, the American people are basically saying that they hate just about everybody and everything in Washington…well, except for maybe Condi Rice =D. Just take a […]

“Prices are perhaps the most misunderstood thing in economics. Whenever prices are “too high” — whether these are prices of medicines or of gasoline or all sorts of other things — many people think the answer is for the government to force those prices down. …Prices are not just arbitrary numbers plucked out of the […]

Dick Cheney has now joined the “push back” with a forceful speech. Here are a few excerpts: “What we’re hearing now is some politicians contradicting their own statements and making a play for political advantage in the middle of a war. The saddest part is that our people in uniform have been subjected to these […]

Today, Pajamas Media, now known as Open Source Media, had their big roll out and…I still don’t totally get it. Don’t get me wrong, like everyone else, I’m very impressed by the endless assortment of big names associated with OSM, like Michelle Malkin, Mark Steyn, Glenn Reynolds, and Tammy Bruce among many, many, others. Also, […]

On Monday of this week, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to interview Tammy Bruce via phone. Ms. Bruce is a syndicated radio host on 163 stations, she also blogs, and has a new book out: “The New American Revolution.” In the interview, we discussed Tammy’s Bruce’s new book, the left, hate mail, fascism, […]

You want to know why Republicans in Congress, particularly in the Senate, seem so weak, disorganized, and inept? It’s because of the same sort of mentality that led them to do this: “The National Republican Senatorial Committee is up with its second ad this month attacking Cranston (R.I.) Mayor Steve Laffey, who is challenging Sen. […]

“It was 30 years ago when Congress last took the reins of national war fighting. In August 1974, Nixon had been scandalized and left office. The November 1974 election brought forth the “Watergate babies” congress filled with young anti-war Democrats. One of the first actions of the Watergate Congress was to vote to deny an […]

The RNC again exposes the Democrats who are claiming Bush lied about Iraq’s WMDs as the incredible hypocrites that they are, but this time it’s on video. That’s right, you can see Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Jay Rockefeller, and Nancy Pelosi among many others talking about regime change and WMDS, in their own words, on […]

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, today endorsed a measure introduced by Senate Republicans that would force President George Bush to lay out his plan for ending the war against terrorists in Iraq. “We think it is important for a democracy such as the United States to be transparent with the public,” said […]

This is just grotesque… “A blind and deaf Australian woman who claims she never should have been born is suing a doctor for a lifetime of suffering in the country’s first “wrongful life” suit. Alexia Harriton, 24, is seeking compensation from the doctor who misdiagnosed rubella in the first trimester of her mother’s pregnancy, claiming […]

itzamirakul: I don’t believe the “failed bomber” woman woman was involved at all…I think this is just one more staged event by BushCo.. First, they claimed it was Al Quaidea but they had no actual proof to make the public believe that claim. After all, any teenager with a computer and a wicked mind could […]

Tonight, Bush has unloaded another salvo at the Democrats over the war in Iraq and luckily, the RNC sent me the text of his remarks. So from my inbox to your ears, here’s an excerpt from the speech that features George W. Bush laying a smackdown on the donks: “Reasonable people can disagree about the […]

Mary Mapes, the disgraced former CBS producer who was fired over the fake memos CBS was peddling during the election last year, is still out there telling anyone who’ll listen that they were legit. Here is an excerpt of note from her appearance on Good Morning America: “Ross: “After 12 days of defending them, CBS […]

There sure are a lot of excited Democrats out there who think they’ve got George Bush and the GOP right where they want them. They think they’re going to get the Senate back, they think they’re going to get the House back, they think it’s going to be their year in 2006. But, they have […]

“The United States faces a lot of foreign enemies in Iraq. Most of these are individuals from other Moslem countries, come to oppose the “American war against Islam.” These are usually the foot soldiers and suicide bombers for al Qaeda. But this year, another foreign foe has been showing up in larger numbers; Saudi Arabians […]

“It is regrettable that Senator Kennedy has chosen Veteran’s Day to continue leveling baseless and false attacks that send the wrong signal to our troops and our enemy during a time of war. It is also regrettable that Senator Kennedy has found more time to say negative things about President Bush then he ever did […]

The latest thread at DU started out simply enough, with a lefty poster acting as if it were actually courageous to condemn Abu Musab al-Zarqawi while simultaneously blaming the White House for his terrorism… ChiciB1: “Okay I’ll Say It… Zarqawi IS A LUNATIC!! As long as he’s out there doing HIS damage… OUR Idiot can […]

Our debate at home must also be fair-minded. One of the hallmarks of a free society and what makes our country strong is that our political leaders can discuss their differences openly, even in times of war. When I made the decision to remove Saddam Hussein from power, Congress approved it with strong bipartisan support. […]

Without the sacrifices made by the American soldier, our great nation would not be strong, free, and prosperous and this world we live in would be a much darker place. So thank God for the troops who’ve fought for America in the past, who’re fighting for this country today, and who will keep standing up […]

In Dover, PA, the school board was pushing intelligent design and apparently that didn’t sit well with the parents in their district. We can ascertain that because they voted all 8 of the school board members out of office and replaced them with people who were against intelligent design. If you believe that local school […]
