Year: 2012

In the last hundred years, only FDR and JFK have enjoyed the type of overwhelming support that George Bush has received since Sept. 11th. The majority of the American public seems not only to trust him, but to genuinely like him. That’s a very rare thing for a politician, which is why it’s unconscionable that […]

Under the best of circumstances, liberals do not tend to be logical or realistic about much of anything except their chances of electing more liberals. But since 9/11, the left has gotten progressively crazier and more hysterical almost by the week. How big has the reality disconnect gotten? Bartcop’s Political Humor, a web site that […]

The possible negative consequences of an Iraqi invasion have been discussed ad nauseum in recent months. We’ve been told that hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians could die, many Americans will die in street to street fighting, that the risk of terrorism will be increased, that our attacks on Iraq will increase the chances of […]

Iraq1) Is this a rush to war?: Not at all. We’re working on the 19th UN Resolution since the Gulf War related to Iraqi disarmament. Furthermore, Bush has been talking about Iraq for more than a year. You could even go back to Bush’s: speech: nine days after 9/11 in which he said, “And we will pursue nations […]

The vast majority of the criticism that Rick Santorum is currently receiving is unfair and in some cases is designed to deliberately distort what he actually said. Since his critics are continuing to pile on, I thought he deserved a stronger defense than the one I gave him: earlier this week. To begin with, Santorum was […]

Given that we’re more than a year out from the start of the war in Iraq, fighting has flared up recently, and opponents of the war have been trying rewrite history to take advantage of the fact that our intelligence estimates about WMD in Iraq have proven to be inaccurate, it’s important to remind people […]

The anti-war crowd in America and Europe are unwittingly doing everything in their power to ensure that America repeats all the mistakes of Vietnam while fighting the ‘War on Terrorism.’ Certainly Bin Laden’s spirits (if he still lives) must be buoyed by most of Europe’s craven attempts to distance themselves from the fighting and by […]

As I read the: latest & greatest piece of diarrhea: to be penned by one of the ‘war for oil” crowd, I was struck by how shallow and ill-thought out this theory it is. In fact, when I called it the “war for oil theory” in the title of this editorial, I probably gave the whole idea […]

I’ve been saying for a long time that our education system is not underfunded and our teachers are not underpaid. However, this concept has been hammered into our psyches for so long that the American people get suckered by the same appeals for more money every 2-4 years. We budget huge increases in education spending […]

If I asked you what the worst thing in American politics was today, I would get a variety of answers. Some of you might say “dishonesty”, others recoil from the “negativity” and I’m sure there are plenty of Americans fed up with the “petty partisanship” we’re confronted with at ever turn. But me? I’d point […]

I often get the impression that liberals don’t have the foggiest understanding of how people become conservative. Maybe they believe radio talk show hosts hypnotize their listeners with the sound of their voice or Richard Mellon Scaife pays us all $5 a week under the table to vote Republican, but that’s not how it actually […]

Some people would have you believe that Bush lied about Iraq’s WMDs. I believe that they’re the ones attempting to mislead the American people about how our intelligence agencies work. Unanimity among all members of every intelligence agency on anything is the exception, not the rule. So today, to try to go back and cherry […]

Margaret Thatcher once wrote, “Whether it is in the United States or in mainland Europe, written constitutions have one great weakness. That is that they contain the potential to have judges take decisions which should properly be made by Democratically elected politicians.” Today, that “great weakness” is being exploited by gay advocates and judicial activists […]

August 1st, 1944 After one of the bloodiest months of fighting in Europe, House Republican leaders called for all United States forces to be withdrawn from Europe. “This is a quagmire,” said one house member. “There is no evidence whatsoever that Nazi Germany had any connection to the attacks of 12/07 and fighting with Germany […]
