Here’s Stephen King on the troops, which he would no doubt tell you that he supports, “I don’t want to sound like an ad, a public service ad on TV, but the fact is if you can read, you can walk into a job later on. If you don’t, then you’ve got, the Army, Iraq, […]

Daily Kos diarist schennessy wrote this, “I am one of those crazy chicks who sums up parts of your life with a song. But also, songs fire me up, make me cry, and get me inspired. Obviously, “City of Blinding Lights” is an automatic Obama song, but what other songs remind you of him?” Why […]

“If (Hillary) gave (Obama) one of her cojones, they’d both have two.” — James Carville

Frank Rich’s (Corrected) latest column futilely tries to make a case that the netroots has been making for weeks, BORED by those endless replays of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright? If so, go directly to YouTube, search for “John Hagee Roman Church Hitler,” and be recharged by a fresh jolt of clerical jive. What you’ll find […]

Ben Stein has been getting flogged mercilessly, on the left and right, for saying this, Stein: When we just saw that man, I think it was Mr. Myers [i.e. biologist P.Z. Myers], talking about how great scientists were, I was thinking to myself the last time any of my relatives saw scientists telling them what […]

One of the reasons that many people have such an intense distrust of polling data is the little games that the mainstream media plays with them. For example, take the latest poll from CBS, which is titled, “CBS Poll: Support For Obama Rebounds. In Wake Of Controversy Over Former Pastor, Illinois Senator Builds Lead Over […]

Here’s a little context about the number of active duty soldiers we’re losing each year that you’re probably not going to see on the evening news tonight.

Since North Carolina has become a battleground primary state for the two Democrat candidates for president, they’ve both been canvassing the state personally and in some cases sent surrogates.

A couple of years ago, I started a series of posts I called “Project Hero” over at QandO to honor some of the heroes who I thought weren’t getting the mainstream recognition they deserved in the media. It has been a labor of love and an honor to do. Some of the stories are mindboggling […]

Lexington Green: [P]utting aside the bogus and irresponsible notion of “unipolarity”, I suppose it is fair to say, in a taxonomic rather than invidious way, that America is the global hegemon. It is the primary provider of security, it is the primary determiner of the rules of the international game, etc. So let’s be charitable […]

All of us on the right new it already, have known it for decades. The Liberal/Progressive/Surrender Monkey way of life is the same as that of animals.

Progressive Columnist from the Miami-Herald was “disappointed” to learn during an interview with McCain, that a path to citizenship for the 12million illegals, (actually it’s closer to 20million), is only 3rd in a 3 part plan, my question is why is in the plan at all?: When I interviewed likely Republican candidate Sen. John McCain […]

Its a first for the organization, and some fear it will damage their already scarred reputation in South Carolina. The question that lingers over their heads….were they singled out because of their criticism of the national organization? “I believe this will truly be harmful to the A.C.L.U. and how it is perceived in the state […]

Is Barack Obama trying to lay low and run out the clock? Carl Leubsdorf at RealClearPolitics: Barack Obama looks like the quarterback of a football team intent on running out the clock to preserve its lead in a championship game.

“In my five weeks of absence from this space, I was saddened to learn that the assault on free speech and press in Canada has been escalated.

Why the operational pause? Limbaugh said it was because of damage that […]

Last month, I wrote about a group of unhinged peace thugs who attacked an Iraq war veteran, his wife, and his fourteen-year-old son, the Swartout family. The video of the attack is now released. Brace yourself. It’s not easy viewing. The attack happens near the end, and you’ll see four of the peace thugs jump […]
