Year: 2006

Believe it or not, Dr. Seuss used to be a political cartoonist and he did some absolutely phenomenal cartoons that took aim at American isolationists in the run up to WW2, most of whom were in the GOP (although a majority of Americans opposed getting involved in the war until Pearl Harbor). The funny thing […]

Over at the Democratic Underground, they’ve got a thread going called, “What still makes you proud to be an American?.” Could it be that they’re going to point out, correctly, that this is the greatest nation in the world? That we have the biggest economy? The most powerful military? That we’ve done more good than […]

Today, John McCain endorsed Rightroots. I know that I have a lot of differences with McCain, but the endorsement for the group is much appreciated and it would be fantastic if more politicians wanted to follow his lead. Also, there’s going to be a Rightroots blogburst tomorrow. All across the blogosphere (hopefully) there are going […]

Rich Lowry, among others, got a meeting with Bush and this quote from W. that he produced really tees me off: “The President talked about how he has been able to help with the 2006 races, noting money raised and the party’s turnout efforts. “I can help and if I can’t, Laura can.” He explained, […]

A couple of days ago, I put up a 2008 straw poll, which was sponsored by GOP Bloggers. You can see the overall results here. First of all, here’s some of the raw data for all the participants: The Top 4 Most Acceptable Candidates Newt Gingrich: +43.9% Mitt Romney: +40.9% Rudy Giuliani: +35.4% George Allen: […]

” The median household income of Wal-Mart shoppers is under $40,000. Wal-Mart, the most prodigious job-creator in the history of the private sector in this galaxy, has almost as many employees (1.3 million) as the U.S. military has uniformed personnel. A McKinsey company study concluded that Wal-Mart accounted for 13 percent of the nation’s productivity […]

“I distrust the government but as a realistic conservative I think government is staffed with mostly well-intentioned but incompetent people — not because they’re dumb, but because bureaucracies are dumb. These conspiracy theorists reverse this entirely. They think government is evil-intentioned but supremely, even divinely, competent.” — Jonah Goldberg

While I was defending Tom Tancredo from the outrageous smear leveled at him by the Southern Poverty Law Center, I trashed a Southern-successionist group called the League of the South. Apparently that ruffled a few feathers over at the LOS, because some of them have been posting in the comments section and writing me emails. […]

— Rhode Island: This Senate race was destined to be a lose-lose affair no matter how it turned out since we had Steve Laffey, a guy who couldn’t win in the general election, going up against ultra-RINO, Lincoln Chafee. Intriguingly, Lincoln Chafee only won 54% vs. 46%, which means that 46 out of every 100 […]

Boy, the new Dixie Chicks fluff-u-mentary really sounds like a fab film. Here’s a little preview: “In one memorable scene, Maines watches news footage of the president being interviewed about the furor that followed the singer’s on-stage comment that she was ”ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas,” which resulted in the […]

“Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America.” — Rosie O’Donnell

“Thirteen French tanks, the most powerful armor ever deployed by a U.N. peacekeeping force, rolled ashore Tuesday, beefing up a mission aimed at helping cement an uneasy cease-fire in Lebanon….” 13 whole tanks — driven by the French of all people — comprises the most powerful armored force the UN has ever rolled out on […]

Earlier today, I was very surprised to read — at the left wing Southern Poverty Law Center — that Tom Tancredo had attended a fund raiser thrown by a group called the League of the South. Here’s what the SPL had to say: “…(T)he state chapter of the League of the South (LOS), a neo-Confederate […]

Today, the candidates profiled will be Michele Bachmann and Chuck […]

It hasn’t been getting a lot of play around the blogosphere for some reason, but there are three big primary races today including: 1) Lincoln Chafee (R) vs. Steve Laffey (R) (Rhode Island): Mediocre RINO Lincoln Chafee is widely disliked — with good reason, by many Republicans. Unfortunately, his opponent, Steven Laffey, whose biggest positive […]

From the AP: “The nations of the world joined Monday in solemn remembrance of Sept. 11 – but for many, resentment of the United States flowed as readily as tears. Critics say Americans have squandered the goodwill that prompted France’s Le Monde newspaper to proclaim “We are all Americans” that somber day after the attacks, […]

Last week, Musharraf’s people cut a deal with the leaders of the tribal areas in Pakistan and the general consensus seemed to be that it was a capitulation to the terrorists. Of course, there were also people who took the alternate view, that this deal was “closing the trap on the Taliban,” and would lead […]

You can see the results for Right Wing News here. You can see the results for the right side of the blogosphere as a whole, here.

“Most people never realize one simple fact never mentioned by the major media. Most of our news, from all sources, is presented to us through liberal Democrats. The Roper Center surveyed 139 bureau chiefs and correspondents and found only 4 percent to be Republicans. In 1992 a colossal 89 percent of these Washington bureau chiefs […]

In an effort to smear the Bush administration and demonize the troops, the left has gone on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about Abu Ghraib. Just to name one famously famous overreaction, do you remember what Ted Kennedy said about Abu Ghraib? “Shamefully, we now learn […]

The Islamo-Fascist doctrine of the terrorists that attacked us on 9/11 is not new. To the contrary, it is actually very old. It goes right back to the murderous and rapacious early days of Islam. Victor Davis Hanson discusses this mentality in relation to the battle of Poitiers, in his book Why the West Has […]

This may be the the first time that I’ve run a press release as actual content, but this latest piece of research that the RNC sent out is just too devastatingly good to ignore.

Last week, over at Human Events, I wrote a column called, “Moderate Muslims: Speak Up or Get Lumped In with Islamo-Fascists.” If you want to read a great example of the sort of speaking up that I was hoping more Muslims would do, take a look at what the director of the Islamic Society of […]

“If Democrats win one or both houses of Congress in November’s elections, as polls suggest is increasingly likely, President Bush’s Washington will change dramatically. Democrats will press to get out of Iraq. They’ll mount investigations into the Bush administration’s record that could rival those of Presidents Nixon in Watergate and Clinton in the Monica Lewinsky […]
