The “Obama Took 16 Hours” Meme: Hold On, And Think About It

Posted on by William Teach

Apparently, Obama took 16 hours to make the decision to go with the operation to get “Codename Geronimo” (yes, some folks do have a problem with that).

Waterboarding Vindicated By Bin Laden’s Death! Hooray!

Posted on by John Hawkins

Let me just put it this way: waterboarding isn’t torture. I’m not the least bit sorry, embarrassed, or troubled that it was used at Guantanamo Bay. In fact, I wouldn’t have been troubled if it had been used on fifty times as many prisoners. They’re terrorists who use real torture on our men. Stop crying […]

 

Three Reasons We Should Still Be Allied With Pakistan

Posted on by John Hawkins

Did the government of Pakistan know that Osama Bin Laden was holed up in Abbottabad?

It was already public knowledge […]

 

Obama’s Meager Post-Bin Laden Bounce Spells Political Trouble For Him

Rebutting Jesse Kornbluth’s rebuttal re his original Andrew Sullivan article

Posted on by Bookworm

Jesse Kornbluth, whom I took to task for his Sullivan hagiography, has responded to my rebuttal to his defense of that same hagiography. True to my lawyer’s credo, I’m trying here to have the last word, although I certainly don’t mean to preempt Kornbluth from doing the same, if he is so inclined. As I […]

 

Cringing Liberal Throws Wet Blanket on bin Laden Celebrations

Posted on by Dave Blount

Liberals didn’t like all the flags that spontaneously appeared after 9/11. Now that Osama bin Laden has finally gotten what he had coming, they aren’t liking the patriotic celebrations. WaPo’s Petula Dvorak sanctimoniously gripes about displays of national joy, which she denounces as “vulgar”: When I saw that folks were celebrating in the streets at […]

Dear Deathers. This Is An Even Stupider Conspiracy Than Usual. Signed Everyone Else

Posted on by John Hawkins

Sleazy professional scam artist Alex Jones is getting out front of the crazy idea that Bin Laden’s death was faked. The con men over at WorldNetDaily aren’t far behind either.

Posted on by Dave Blount

If you think Obama’s energy policy of suppressing our own oil industry while giving other countries taxpayer money to develop theirs is insane, just hope he doesn’t inflict some of the truly deranged ideas being floated by moonbats like Daniel Weiss, senior fellow and director of “climate strategy” at the liberal think tank Center for […]

Federalist Papers Identified How Democrats Would Destroy Us

Does Barack Obama Really Deserve Any Credit For Killing Bin Laden?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Short answer; Yes. Longer answer….George W. Bush deserves credit for starting our programs that targeted Bin Laden.

Of course, our intelligence agencies deserve a lot of credit and […]

 

A rebuttal to Jesse Kornbluth on the subject of Andrew Sullivan

Posted on by Bookworm

I wrote a post taking Harvard grad Jesse Kornbluth (class of ’68) to task for his carelessly flattering portrayal of “journalist” and blogger Andrew Sullivan. It’s fine to like Sullivan, although I would question a person’s judgment in doing so. What bothered me was that Kornbluth failed to discover that Sullivan has taken a fair […]
