Year: 2007

I think there’s a misunderstanding about Europe and the Muslim immigrants, some of whom are currently burning cars in the Netherlands after a Moroccan youth got shot for knifing two police officers. Europe doesn’t claim to or even hope to integrate “the other”. They condescend to and separate “the other”. Europe is closer in ideals […]

It was a good day yesterday for Republicans, and an especially good day for Louisiana as Rep. Bobby Jindal was elected Saturday as governor: BATON ROUGE, La. – U.S. Rep. Bobby Jindal easily defeated 11 opponents and became the state’s first nonwhite governor since Reconstruction, decades after his parents moved to the state from India […]

Obviously everyone knows what’s at stake in ’08 when voters head to the polls. The House of Reps is in Democratic hands, and most likely will remain that way. And there’s a very real possibility that a Democrat may end up in the White House. There’s little doubt of what sort of agenda will then […]

The AP has a very long story about improprieties (to say the least) between teachers and students in the schools. The consensus seems to be that it’s an intractable problem, and an old one, and that given the mobility of people it’s hard to keep predators out of the schools. What the AP ignores, probably […]

Gerard Baker takes an interesting look at anti-Americanism and finds that the harshest critics of the US come from the US. That has some interesting and ironic implications. Anti-Americanism is on the wane at last. All over the world, Americans are being fêted once again as farsighted, liberating heroes. Al Gore has won a Nobel […]

Hugo Chavez continues to plunge Venezuela deeper and deeper into moonbattery, draining Venezuela dry of every resource it possesses. Chavez is apparently using Cuba as his model of how a country should be run. The newest example of this was a monument built in honor of Fidel Castro’s chief executioner, Ernesto “Che” Guevara. Less than […]

He’s gone way ahead of Giuliani among church-going Republicans. Fred Thompson may have failed to impress Beltway insiders when he finally launched his run for the White House last month, but he is winning over a critical segment of the Republican coalition, new polling suggests. Conservative Christians favor Thompson by a 10-point margin over his […]

The conservative movement and the vehicle that we use to implement our ideas, the Republican Party, have a number of problems right now that need to be addressed. For example: Taking Care Of The Base: The first rule of politics is to make sure that your base is reasonably happy and if they’re not, find […]

Question: “Care to forecast the early primary support numbers for each candidate just before the primaries? As the lower tier candidates drop out, upon recognizing the futility of their chances and in some cases the fact that their pet issue is clearly covered in future debates, their previous supporters will align behind the remaining candidates. […]

Question: “Do you think Turkey has a right to cross the border into Iraq to take out the PKK?” — BIG Answer: The PKK has been crossing the border, murdering Turks and then running back into Kurdistan for more than a decade. Since we invaded, the Turks have given the US and the Kurds every […]

What percentage of the vote do you think they could realistically expect to pull?” — Mike_M Answer: My guess is that if Rudy gets the nomination, Dobson and a handful of other big name social conservatives will […]

“You don’t have money to fund the war on children. But you’re going to spend it to blow up innocent people if he can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President’s amusement.” — Democrat Pete Stark on the House Floor. […]

You know, it’s funny: liberals will deliberately lie and claim that Rush Limbaugh referred to anti-war soldiers as “phony soldiers,” just so that they can pretend to be outraged on behalf of the troops. But, when a liberal group like Code Pink actually says far worse things about the troops than the Left even claimed […]

The Left’s push for socialized medicine in this country shows how dogmatic, impractical, and incapable of logical thinking that they have become. After hearing horror story after horror story like this one coming out of nations like Britain and Canada, why in the world do Democrats like Hillary Clinton want to emulate the health care […]

No, seriously – with Governor Schwarzenegger signing SB 777, California has banned the word “sex” from California law..it is now “gender”. The specific bit of language now removed from California law by SB 777 (amongst its other radical-left provisions), is this: “Sex” means the biological condition of or quality of being a male or female […]

Most of you are undoubtedly already familiar with the “phony soldiers” controversy involving Rush Limbaugh. But, for those of you who aren’t, let me give you a recap. Rush Limbaugh criticized “phony soldiers” like Jesse Macbeth, who certainly deserve anything Limbaugh has to say about them. Shortly thereafter, dishonest liberal bloggers and politicians, in an […]

Over at the New York Sun, they wrote this about the battles between the 2008 contenders: “What would be helpful, in addition to the sparring, would be some specifics about what it is “we believe in,” what it is that the Republican Party stands for.” I’m happy to take a stab at it. The Republican […]
