Now is the time of year when William Saletan tells us that we should stop arguing about abortion and just keep women from getting pregnant in the first place. Well, thank you, Dr. Insight. Hey guys–let’s stop arguing about the death penalty, and make it so no one ever commits heinous murders! The insistence that […]

Madman on Collision Course with Oprah After a brief mention in his terror tape last week turned a little-known book into an instant best-seller, al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden today announced that he was officially launching “Osama’s Book Club.” Mr. bin Laden’s glancing reference to “Rogue State: A Guide to the World’s Only Superpower” […]

Security and freedom are flip sides of the same coin. To increase the amount of freedom we have, we have to give up some security and vice versa. This is not always apparent, but it’s always true. For example, because we fear other people stealing our property, we have locks on our cars and homes. […]

Jimmy Carter, who was one of the worst Presidents of the last century and one of the worst Presidents in American history, keeps reminding the American people that he is still out there working hard to make people say, “I can’t believe that guy was ever President!” Today, in a display of naivete befitting an […]

From conservative Dick Cheney…. “On the tape, bin Laden warned that his fighters are preparing new attacks in the United States but offered the American people a “long-term truce” without specifying the conditions. Cheney, in a television interview, rejected that suggestion, saying “We don’t negotiate with terrorists.” “I think you have to destroy them,” he […]

“Furthermore, you should never, never, never, forget about judges. Because liberalism is so unpopular, the Democrats count on getting activist liberal judges to implement their agenda over the protests of the voters (perfect example: gay marriage in Massachusetts). Because the Senate Republicans have wimped out, the Dems have managed to block a number of Bush’s […]

It’s bad enough that rapcious local officials have been using the Kelo decision to claw people’s homes away from them and hand them to their developer buddies, but now, they’re going after churches too: “For seven years, Reverend Roosevelt Gildon has preached the gospel at the Centennial Baptist Church in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. His congregation, […]

Oh yeah, this is really going to work: “Hamas is paying a spin doctor $180,000 (£100,000) to persuade Europeans and Americans that it is not a group of religious fanatics who relish suicide bombings and hate Jews. The organisation, also known as the Islamic Resistance Movement, has hired a media consultant, Nashat Aqtash, to improve […]

If you want to know why Israel has never been able to make peace with the Palestinians, you need look no further than Uncle Hazim, a government sanctioned television show for kids sponsored by Hamas. That’s right, we’re talking about a terrorist group whose goal is not the creation of a Palestinian state, but genocide […]

All 3 Republican Candidates for the Majority Leader spot in the House decided to do teleconferences with bloggers today. Here’s a quick rundown of the calls: 10:30 EST: John Shadegg: My questions: Question #1: Congressman, you’ve been endorsed by Human Events, National Review, Club for Growth and I have yet to see a blogger endorse […]

It looks like a few members of the Tennessee Highway Patrol have started playing by the same set of rules that Congress does with lobbyists: “State troopers who fix tickets as favors — even for someone who gives them gifts — are not breaking the law, the Knox County prosecutor has determined for Gov. Phil […]

Last night was the first time I’ve ever heard of Boomershoot, but wow does it sound like fun: “Boomershoot is an annual pyrotechnic event held in North Central Idaho, where precision rifle shooters aim at exploding targets. When a target is hit, the result is a big, satisfying “Kaboom! …From all over the continent people […]

“Imagine the kerfuffle (if Jesus came back today). He comes back, and He goes on TV and says, “Okay, homosexuality is wrong. Sex outside of marriage is wrong. Stop watching porn. Quit smoking dope. And by the way, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and all the other non-Christian religions are wrong, so stop practicing them.” Every fat […]

“Sam Alito marks the final purging of the Bork experience. All the Democrats could do was scream about his inactive membership – back in the ’70s – in CAP, Concerned Alumni of Princeton, which had a magazine called Prospect, which once ran an article, apparently satirical, complaining about Princeton admitting co-eds. In my mind, the […]

Bleurters News Service, (WASHINGTON) The D.C.

Remember Paul Hackett? He was the big mouthed, liberal Iraqi vet who was the darling of the Kos set because they were oh so sure that he was going to win a congressional seat in a Republican district of Ohio. Unfortunately, a funny thing happened on the way to the victory party: Hackett lost to […]

“Not enough money for education? It’s a myth. The truth is, public schools are rolling in money. If you divide the U.S. Department of Education’s figure for total spending on K-12 education by the department’s count of K-12 students, it works out to about $10,000 per student. Think about that! For a class of 25 […]

“Prior to 9/11/01 there were at least 19 al-Qaeda members in the United States. They had committed no acts of terrorism. But they planned to. Members of our intelligence community evidently did not listen to the phone calls they made to, and received from, their employers abroad. Nor were their communications with one another monitored.

Former Vice President Al Gore, who won the popular vote in the 2000 presidential election, yesterday made another in a series of speeches condemning the man he beat, President George Bush, and made a surprise announcement that he would add movie acting to his already diverse resume. Mr. Gore told a tri-partisan gathering of political […]

It’s too bad that the White House kept mum for most of 2005 while the Democrats were throwing around outrageous accusation after outrageous accusation, because when the Bushies fight back, they make the Democrats look like complete buffoons. As proof, just witness what they’ve done to Al Gore: “Gore, in a speech Monday, called for […]
