Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton? slammed private-school voucher proposals yesterday, predicting that vouchers would eventually lead to the creation of taxpayer-financed white supremacist academies – or even a government-funded “School of the Jihad.” …President George W. Bush has long favored laws that require states to provide vouchers, a position that earned him the allegiance of conservative […]

“You ask why an American company can’t run the ports, John. Ah, but there is one. And only one. And it’s called Halliburton…” — John Podhoretz Can you just imagine the reaction from the left if Bush scuttled the UAE port deal and then Halliburton took over? Bwahahahaha! Talk about hilarious!

A lot of blogs are chattering about wacko David Irving’s 3 year prison sentence in Austria that he received for denying the existence of the Holocaust. Although Holocaust denial is a particularly odious, ignorant, and malignant belief, making it into a “thought crime” is even worse. That’s why Austria made a mistake. Let people get […]

South Korea is a wealthy, advanced country that has twice as many people as its deranged, impoverished neighbor to the North. Since that’s the case, why in the world are we still hanging around and defending them from their Northern brethren? Especially since it seems that the only people in that country who like us […]

All the work conservatives have done over the years that culminated in putting John Roberts and Samuel Alito on the Supreme Court may be about to start paying off: “The Supreme Court said Tuesday it will consider the constitutionality of banning a type of late-term abortion, teeing up a contentious issue for a new-look court […]

Yesterday, Jimmy Carter — being Jimmy Carter — wrote an article urging Americans to continue to support the Palestinians despite the fact that they pulled the lever at the ballot box for Hamas — a genocidal terrorist group that openly opposes making peace with Israel and tells anyone who’ll listen that they want to kill […]

The Bush Administration is getting hammered from both sides of the aisle for allowing a UAE owned company to take over the operation of 6 American owned ports that were previously run by the British. Should the Bush administration INITIALLY have put the kibosh on the whole thing? Maybe, maybe not. Apparently, the Department of […]

This is absolutely outrageous — if it’s true. From the Daily Times, in Pakistan (Emphasis mine): “ISLAMABAD: Former US president Bill Clinton on Friday condemned the publication of Prophet Muhammad’s caricatures by European newspapers and urged countries concerned to convict the publishers. Talking to reporters after meeting Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz in Islamabad, Clinton said […]

“Many people in Washington have long known a dirty little secret about tax-cut measures: When done right, they actually result in more money for the government. Ever since the Senate approved the last major tax relief bill, in 2003, revenues have increased every year. In 2004, they went up 5.5%. Last year, they rose 14.5%, […]

“In state after state, redistricting after the 2000 Census proved that bipartisanship—ritually praised, rarely practiced—is often overrated. Democrats and Republicans collaborated in drawing congressional districts that would protect incumbents of both parties. Campaign-finance “reforms,” which make raising money more difficult, are written by incumbents and work to the advantage of… well, take a wild guess. […]

As soon as I heard that Cheney shot a man in the face, my immediate reaction was, “This is why I voted for Bush.” I’ve had my doubts about President Bush at times, but, as this incident unfolded, it’s reminded me of everything that’s great about his administration. “You can sum up the Bush Administration […]

Most Americans consider today to be “President’s Day,” but this day was originally celebrated as George Washington’s birthday. In order to properly commemorate the occasion, what follows is a little something I wrote about the “Father of Our Country” back in June of 2005. This will probably be the last post I’ll make on The […]

If you want to get a foretaste of some of the problems a guest worker program would run into, then you need look no further than this article from The New York Times: “Charlie Bearse, the president of Sidney Coal, was expressing an opinion that many in these mountains secretly share. The problem was, he […]

It’s bad enough that so many members of Congress behave like modern day pirates whose goal is to loot our tax dollars so they can dole them out to friends and supporters back home. But, to add insult to injury, some of these clowns actually go so far as to name the pork projects they’ve […]

Believe it or not, members of the mainstream press are actually blaming the Bush Administration for making them look bad to the public: On CNN’s RELIABLE SOURCES, WASHINGTON POST reporter Dana Milbank fretted that the White House is exploiting the public’s growing disdain for the mainstream media. “Of course they succeed,” Milbank said of Bush […]

After months of accusations FEMA wasn’t helping Katrina victims quickly enough, CNN is horrified to learn the federal government may have cut through too much of that bothersome red tape: In its rush to provide Katrina disaster aid, the Federal Emergency Management Agency wasted millions of dollars and overpaid for hotel rooms, including $438-a-day lodging […]

“Bush has conceded much of the fundamental ground to liberals when it comes to the role of government. Now the argument about governmental problem solving is technical — “will it work?” — rather than principled, “is it the government’s job?” — Jonah Goldberg

Paul Weyrich, who is definitely hooked in, has the scoop on a hot rumor floating around Capitol Hill: that John Paul Stevens intends to retire this summer: “That rumor is that President George W. Bush will have another vacancy on the Supreme Court when the term ends this coming June. One Senator claims he has […]

Here’s a little warning about a group called the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America Political Action Committee (IAVA PAC) that has been sending out promotional emails to Republicans. Their emails talk a lot about soldiers, but don’t mention party affiliation. The reason these emails, which I’ve been receiving, have caught my attention is because […]

Drew Curtis over at Fark apparently decided to risk Fatwahs and Jihads galore by encouraging the Farkers to Photoshop sitcom situations for Mohammed. Some of them were funny, some of them weren’t, but here’s my personal fave (My apologies in advance to moderate Muslims who I know will find this offensive, but it’s important to […]

*** Via Patterico’s Pontifications, I ran across a speech Mike Pence gave at CPAC. Pence is a real deal fiscal conservatives and if we had a Congress full of guys like him, we’d have a balanced budget today. Furthermore, this speech by Pence? It’s magnificent and it deserves to get out to a wider audience. […]

Glenn Reynolds wrote a column about making money by blogging and a lot of blogs including The Anchoress, La Shawn Barber, and Riehl World View are talking about it. Here’s my two cents. I first started a gaming page back in early 1999, moved on from there to a humor zine in late 1999, and […]

“FISA came into being to regulate peacetime surveillance by the federal government, as an antidote to Nixonian abuses of power that had nothing to do with the conduct of war. In fact, Jimmy Carter’s attorney general Griffin Bell made that very argument in promoting the legislation before Congress in 1978, the year after Carter had […]
