No, seriously – with Governor Schwarzenegger signing SB 777, California has banned the word “sex” from California law..it is now “gender”. The specific bit of language now removed from California law by SB 777 (amongst its other radical-left provisions), is this: “Sex” means the biological condition of or quality of being a male or female […]

Most of you are undoubtedly already familiar with the “phony soldiers” controversy involving Rush Limbaugh. But, for those of you who aren’t, let me give you a recap. Rush Limbaugh criticized “phony soldiers” like Jesse Macbeth, who certainly deserve anything Limbaugh has to say about them. Shortly thereafter, dishonest liberal bloggers and politicians, in an […]

Over at the New York Sun, they wrote this about the battles between the 2008 contenders: “What would be helpful, in addition to the sparring, would be some specifics about what it is “we believe in,” what it is that the Republican Party stands for.” I’m happy to take a stab at it. The Republican […]

Here’s the New York Sun about who the GOP nominee will be in 2008, At CNN’s America Votes 2008 Breakfast, the chief architect of Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 presidential run predicted that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will be the Republican nominee in 2008. Jeb is a younger brother of President Bush. Carville bolstered his […]

After being beaten up by conservatives, and rightfully so, for trying to sabotage the war in Iraq, the Democrats are starting to get cold feet about pushing the Armenian genocide resolution, Worried about antagonizing Turkish leaders, House members from both parties have begun to withdraw their support from a resolution supported by the Democratic leadership […]

“We got the bubbleheaded bleach-blonde, comes on at 5 She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye It’s interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet? You know the boys in the newsroom got a running bet Get the […]

Via the Politico, we have a very odd story about Mitt Romney, Gov. Romney has a new TV ad about killing the death tax. His unofficial slogan is now official: “Change begins with us.” Michael Luo of The New York Times has a front-page Political Memo, “Gingerly, Romney Seeks Ties to Christian Right,” observing that […]

If a kid is sick at school, teachers aren’t allowed to give out any medicine at all – not any aspirin or Tylenol. You never know what allergies a kid might have. And for kids who have to take a prescription, even a pill for acne, they must have a doctor’s note and go to […]

As expected, the bounce Fred Thompson received after entering the race has worn off and the field seems to be going back to about the same place it has generally been in for the last few months. Rudy is at roughly 30% in national polls, Fred is at about 20%, and both McCain and Romney […]

I’ve said before that, “liberalism is nothing more than childlike emotionalism applied to adult issues,” and the way the Democrats have handled the SCHIP expansion has been proof positive that I was right on target. The SCHIP expansion is supposed to be a program that provides insurance to poor children, but the Democrats want to […]

“Frankly, it’s time for the establishment of a Palestinian state.” — Condi Rice Really? What does she base that statement on? Certainly not events on the ground in the Palestinian territories, where the terrorists in Hamas and Fatah have been murdering each other and any innocent Israelis they can get their hands on. In fact, […]

It has often been said that you can’t reason someone out of something that they weren’t reasoned into in the first place and this WorldNetDaily article that is being presented as solid evidence of a North American Union, is a perfect example of it. Here’s a particularly noteworthy excerpt, On page 101, (Vicente) Fox writes: […]

Jihadists who use American hosts to run their websites? I’m all for it. For example, take this guy, When Osama bin Laden issued his videotaped message to the American people last month, a young jihad enthusiast went online to help spread the word. “America needs to listen to Shaykh Usaamah very carefully and take his […]

From Charles Krauthammer’s latest column, I could never vote for her, but I (and others of my ideological ilk) could live with her — precisely because she is so liberated from principle. Her liberalism, like her husband’s — flexible, disciplined, calculated, triangulated — always leaves open the possibility that she would do the right thing […]

Last week I did a phone interview with former UN Ambassador John Bolton. Here’s a transcript of our conversation, edited a bit for clarity. First of all, one thing that I’ve found a little puzzling is Western Europe’s refusal to work with us to put real sanctions on Iran. Surely they see the danger of […]

First, from the WAPO, A month later, there isn’t much room for such debate, at least about the latest figures. In September, Iraqi civilian deaths were down 52 percent from August and 77 percent from September 2006, according to the Web site icasualties.org. The Iraqi Health Ministry and the Associated Press reported similar results. U.S. […]

“Now the people in the Administration of George Bush better remember their Miranda rights, because when I’m elected President I’m going to see that they are arrested. I’m not kidding here!” — Dennis Kucinich You’re reading that right, folks. We have a sitting US Congressman, running for President of the United States, promising to throw […]

This poll over at the Democratic Underground is an eye catcher, Poll question: Would Bush order Blackwater mercs to kill Americans to save his *ss from war crimes charges? You got to love this poll. It’s a mixture of insane paranoia, Bush Dementia Syndrome, and an attack on the newest whipping boy on the left: […]

Back on October 3rd, I wrote the following in a post about illegal immigration, Being tough on illegal immigration has become every bit as much of a core value for Republicans as being pro-life and anti-gun control. That doesn’t mean every Republican has to have a security first position on illegal immigration to politically survive, […]

Predictably after Al Gore’s Nobel prize victory, libs are begging him to get in the race. For example, here’s Bill Katovsky over at The Huffington Post, Maybe it’s time to shift strategy. Change our battle plans. Instead of “Run, Al, Run,” we need to now alter our tune to “Please, Tipper, Please.” Al Gore knows […]

It’s that time of year again. People are buying pumpkins to carve Jack-O-Lanterns with. Leaves are changing, you can find Christmas decorations in abundance, and families are making plans for how they will spend their holidays together. For some families, this won’t be possible. There are approximately 140,000 troops deployed overseas for the holidays this […]

I‘m as big a fan of “A Band of Brothers” as the next guy. I thought it was fabulous. And I don’t say that about many “war movies”. And I’m as pleased as I can be that two of that band, William Guarnere and Edward Heffron, both in their 80s, have written a book about […]

Well, this is good news for those those who backed The Goracle receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, and were tickled pinko when he won it, thanks to 5 bored Norwegians What does global warming have to do with global peace? The globe may find out sooner than we think, experts say. “Climate change is and […]

I used to think the eventuality of a Hillary Clinton presidential run was “no problem,” because surely the brain trust at the tippy-top of the GOP has been working out this strategy, utilizing higher math, the alignment of the stars, dumpster-diving and elaborate drills and simulations, for a decade. Her candidacy, I figured — as […]

Certainly, its clear by now that Al Gore probably doesn’t intend on challenging Hillary and Obama and that other guy for the Democratic nomination. Not only is it to far into the game, not only is he lacking funds, but eight years under the Other Clinton has probably taught him the problems associated with challenging […]

I‘ve heard some lame reasoning before but this ranks right up there as some of the worst: With tensions rising between the United States and Turkey over a resolution that labels the World War I-era massacre of Armenians by Turkish forces “genocide,” many are asking why the House is debating the resolution now. It was […]
