Yesterday, Lawrence F. Kaplan published an editorial in the WSJ subtitled, ““How did fighting terrorism become a Republican cause”? Some Democrats may think that’s unfair, but honestly I think Kaplan’s right on target. For whatever reason, about 1/3rd to 1/2 of the Democratic party, maybe even more, seem to almost dogmatically opposed to every attempt […]

Fark has posted a thread about WTC & Pentagon attacks from 9/11. You can actually got there and see what people had to say as the event unfolded. Here are a few choice comments that I picked out of the thread, most of which came within 2 hours of the first attacks… Anger —————— CharlieBrown: […]

On 9/11, 2001 America was attacked, and not for the first time by an implacable and radical enemy bent on our destruction. There is no negotiating with the likes of Al-Qaeda, there can only be a global knife fight that will end with either Western civilization or the terrorists & their allies face down, breathing […]

— Wow, the Jerusalem Post (Free Registration Required), for the first time I believe, is calling for the death of Yasser Arafat… “The world will not help us; we must help ourselves. We must kill as many of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders as possible, as quickly possible, while minimizing collateral damage, but not […]

Within a few weeks of 9/11, most conservatives had grasped something that the anti-war left still can’t comprehend to this very day; that wiping out Al-Qaeda isn’t enough, we have to go after all terrorist groups with global reach. Want to know why? Just look at this snippet of the script from the hilarious — […]

Usually, after some catastrophic event occurs, you can head over to Democratic Underground and see kooks galore blaming it on Bush. If there’s a terrorist attack, it’s because Bush planned it or let it happen. If a Republican does something that’s undeniably good, like stopping to help injured boaters or motorists, it’s all a Karl […]

In a move that surprised a number of his supporters, California Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante has announced he will advocate strict border enforcement in California. “Our studies indicate that the entire Oregon border is unguarded, and invading groups cross with into Aztlan (California) with impunity,” says Bustamante. “The whole northern border is lousy with pasty […]

Here are a few things I wanted to touch on that didn’t quote merit full posts…. — I know a lot of people want McClintock to drop out of the California Gov’s race, but if I’m McClintock, I hang on for a while. I say that because Arnold doesn’t just have skeletons in his closet, […]

The Congressional Black Caucus and Fox News will present a debate of the nine Democrat presidential candidates tonight at 8pm ET. I am going to go ahead and make some bold predictions about the debate. Since I’ll probably be playing F-Zero GX while it’s on, someone else watch and tell me how many I got […]

Secretary of State Colin Powell has confirmed that he will not remain in his current position should President Bush win a second term in 2004. But in a press conference held yesterday morning in Washington, he surprised many when he explained his reasons. Far from the widely held belief that he is at odds with […]

“Eye on the Left: How significantly did the events of September 11th and the recent war with Iraq impact the general public’s view of blogs and bloggers? John Hawkins: Perhaps more journalists and a few more hard core news junkies discovered blogs because of 9/11 or the war in Iraq, but I don’t think 99% […]

Mark Dubbin, the author of “Shadow Patriot” bought a main page ad on RWN to get the word out about his book. Here’s the description of it from Amazon… “The events of 9/11 affected many things in New York and the Mafia was no exception. Business suffered for Don Remondini after the attack, but he […]

I’ve been chagrined by all the Democrats winking at Cruz Bustamante’s refusal to cut his ties to MEChA, a group that often uses the slogan, “For the race everything. For those outside the race, nothing” and that wants to reclaim the Southwestern United States for Mexico. But no matter how loathsome the group is, many […]

When I see the incredibly negative & biased coverage of Iraq that we’re getting from the mainstream press, I almost have to wonder if something like this is about what’s happening behind the scenes… CNN Reporter: Hello, I’m CNN correspondent Wolf Streisand, live on the wild streets of Baghdad where lawlessness reigns, security is non-existant, […]

In a show of Republican solidarity, California gubernatorial candidate Tom McClintock today offered to let Arnold Schwarzenegger borrow his ideas and plan for reviving the debt-ridden state. “Arnold has celebrity, but no real Republican game plan,” said Mr. McClintock, a state senator. “I have actual experience, and a conservative plan for California, but little celebrity. […]

“Eye On The Left” — which used to be “Blogs of War” — did an interview with me for their grand opening today. Read it and enjoy!

I found Bush’s speech last night on the war in Iraq to be fairly interesting because he pointed out some things to the American public that conservative pundits have been talking about for months. In a sense, Bush’s speech last night was like the opening class of, “Conservative Foreign Policy 101”. Here’s some of the […]

There seem to be some people out there who think Bush is in trouble. Richard Reeves just wrote a column called “Why George Bush Can’t Win”. Glenn Reynolds writes… “QUITE SOME TIME AGO, I noted that Bush was in danger of losing his base. Now it looks to be happening. Libertarians are already iffy; now […]

A new school voucher program which passed a Senate committee today, would free up seats in Washington D.C. public schools for the children of members of Congress, and other government officials. The $7,500 vouchers would go to D.C. families with children who are failing in the public schools, helping them to pay private school tuition. […]

I ran across some interesting numbers on immigrants in a piece about Victor Davis Hanson… “While Mexican immigrants come to America no more or less poor, no more or less uneducated than previous waves of immigrants, they are far more resistant to assimilating into American culture. Hanson notes that, of the millions of Mexican immigrants […]

A lot of Conservatives, myself included, have been unhappy with Bush’s “democrat-lite” domestic policies. Bush has abandoned all fiscal restraint, created a gargantuan new homeland security department, is adding a budget busting prescription drug benefit, has supported steel tariffs, doesn’t want to repeal the assault weapons ban, supported the unconstitutional campaign finance reform, wants illegal […]

BAGHDAD – U.S. Troops conducted a raid Wednesday that lead to the arrest of 13 wanted Iraqis. Authorities say 4 of the arrested may be doubles the ex-dictator used in several public appearances. Sources have revealed one of the doubles may be actor Jerry Mathers, television’s Beaver. U.S. officials have yet to confirm the rumor, […]

As I mentioned yesterday, Johnny recently trashed not the Bush administration, but America itself. He said… “America is dumb, it’s like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive,” he said. “My daughter is four, my boy is one. I’d like them to see America as a toy, a […]

I want you to think back to the three worst terrorist attacks worldwide since 9/11… — There was the Bali bombing at a couple of packed nightclubs. — 100+ Iraqis died in a bombing at a mosque. — More than a 1000 Russians were put in a hostage situation at a theater. Notice that those […]

“Not to imply that we’re better than anyone else, or better friends than any other friends, or that we’re ‘super-liberal’, or in any way better than anybody else is, or any group of friends and/or significant others…” From their fortress high atop the Canadian Shield, the Liberal Superfriends keep an eye on Americans’ tendency to […]

This just kills me… “Immigrant-rights groups are suing seven Virginia colleges for allegedly following the state attorney general’s advice to deny admission to immigrants. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court, contends that the schools’ policies usurp the role of federal immigration authorities. It was filed on behalf of unidentified students who either attend […]

The United Nations will likely send a multinational force of troops to Iraq starting next month. The plan, dubbed Operation Haughty Weasel, will use U.N. troops to guard important facilities, and to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people. “It’s really a goodwill gesture,” said U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. “We want to let […]

Super-genius & very pretty man Johnny Depp had to say about our country from France… “America is dumb, it’s like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive,” he said. “My daughter is four, my boy is one. I’d like them to see America as a toy, a broken […]

Since the governorship of California may be at stake, predictably, there are already people on the left trying to defend MEChA. While it’s terribly sad, it’s hardly surprising. Winston Churchill once said, “If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons” and most of […]
