Shoot An Uzi For The Republican Party

Now this is a fantastic idea for a fund raiser. “City Republicans will be packing some serious firepower at their next party fundraiser. Tired of the usual chicken dinners, the Manchester Republican Committee is planning to arm supporters next month with Uzis, M-16 rifles and other automatic weapons for a day of target practice at […]

Suddenly Enforcement First On Immigration Isn’t Just For Racists, Nativists, & Xenophobes Anymore?

The open borders and amnesty crowd on the right spent much of the immigration debate condemning people who supported a security first approach to illegal immigration as racists, nativists, xenophobes, anti-Hispanic, and anti-immigrant. But, after the comprehensive immigration bill went down in flames and its biggest supporters had their approval ratings and fund raising numbers […]

 


Get Ready For Some Patriotic Troop Supportin’ – Hollywood Style By Good Lt.

The drug-addled, anti-American, coke addicted, Democrat-supporting minions of Hollywood are preparing their antiwar screeds (shock!) just in time for the 2008 election cycle. And how do they portray the military they claim to so vigorously support? By portraying them as murderers, criminals, jail-bound psychopaths, indifferent killers of Iraqi families, questioning the sanity and mental capabilities […]

Unions Don’t Believe Their Own Hype

Apparently, unions don’t support high wages and benefits — well, that is if they’re the ones paying the bills, The picketers marching in a circle in front of a downtown Washington office building chanting about low wages do not seem fully focused on their message. Many have arrived with large suitcases or bags holding their […]

Ward Churchill Finally Gets What He Deserves

Well, well, well — it took long enough, but look who finally reaped what he sowed years after the fact, “The University of Colorado Board of Regents voted to fire Ward Churchill on Tuesday evening, prompting the promise of a lawsuit from the embattled professor. The Board of Regents passed a motion to accept the […]

 


An Interview With Senator Jim DeMint

Last last week, I did an interview via phone with Senator Jim DeMint. Here’s a transcript of the interview, edited slightly for grammar and clarity.

Newt’s “Pygmy” Outburst

Newt’s posturing about getting into the 2008 race got tiresome long ago. The reality is that it’s highly unlikely Newt is getting into the race and if he does in October, as he’s been talking about, he couldn’t possibly win at this point. That means that the outburst you are about to read is nothing […]

 

Great Moments In Government Waste: Charles Rangel Uses Your Money To Fund The Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service

Conservatives have spent a lot of time beating up the GOP for spending — and with good reason.

Quote Of The Day #2: Harry Reid Vs. The Troops

“If Majority Leader Harry Reid can’t start pulling troops out of Iraq, he doesn’t want to start paying them any more either. After an amendment to begin withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq within 120 days failed to receive the 60 votes needed to proceed, Reid set the entire defense authorization bill aside. By doing so, […]

 



Impeachment Mania

This morning, as I made my daily circuit through some of the favorite liberal haunts, I couldn’t help but notice that everywhere I looked, it’s impeachment, impeachment, impeachment. As per usual, the reasons vary wildly, because it’s about hatred of Bush and Cheney, not really about any particular thing that they’re supposed to have done […]

Can We Have Some Examples From That “Wave Of Hate”?

You hear a lot about supposed “anti-immigrant” language and “hateful rhetoric” that occurred during the immigration debate, but seldom have any examples ever been provided. In fact, it’s safe to say that the word “anti-immigrant” was probably used a hundred times for every time some columnist, blogger, or talk radio host used any language that […]
