Tom Bevan at RCP adds salt to the self inflicted wounds:
The average American can’t smack a police officer without getting arrested. He can’t smash his car into a stationary barrier at three in the morning, get out stumbling and slurring, and then get a ride home and a pat on the back from […]
Seems left and right have decided to go beserk all at once. Dr Sanity (can we have more Sanity Please!) notes a pungent tirade of denial from the leftwing (where terrorism is just marketing PR). Some great excerpts:
1. “The Bush administration has exploited the fear and shock of a nation in the wake of […]
America is going to be facing a tough period on the Hadith incident in Iraq. There is always the possibility in war things get out of control. After years of being attacked and seeing the brutality of the Islamo-fascists good people can crack and make tragic decisions. The one thing I want to say at […]
I feel like politics in this country has entered the twilight zone. People I respected for brilliant logic and insight and top notch debate have become emotional, simplistically surreal in their proposals. The level of the discussion has dropped way down into fevered accusations in some places and pure denial in others. I was going […]
The New York Times, Washington Post and other media outlets are going to see a serious cutback in leaks coming from government sources on the news coming out of the US Supreme Court:
The Supreme Court today narrowed the First Amendment protections for public employees who reveal perceived wrongdoing they happen to observe in the course […]
Compare SenselessBrenner’s rants about the Imperial Congress:
Sensenbrenner also said he wanted to call Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and FBI Director Robert Mueller to testify about their justification for the unprecedented raid on the office of Rep. William Jefferson, the target of a bribery investigation.
Sensenbrenner, a Wisconsin Republican, said at a hearing on […]
Since I deal with tens of telemarketing calls a day from people who have all sorts of information on me and my family, not to mention all the mail we have to pitch from credit card and mortgage offers, I am truly dumbfounded by the resistance to give the Federal Government personal information in order […]
*** Update: Possibly three more rounded up (H/T reader Crosspatch ***
*** Update: More lashing out by Zarqawi and Al Qaeda could be a sign of desperation by the insurgents:
A parked car bomb hit a popular market in a Shiite area north of Baghdad on Tuesday, killing at least 25 people and wounding 65, the Interior […]
The obsession to deport illegal immigrants (see post below) is doing what I predicted would happen if we did attempt mass deportations - it is diverting our attention from real threats. Ed Morrissey comments on a story I saw earlier that states large numbers of Al Qaeda are sitting just over our northern border:
Canada’s spy […]
I have read all across the major conservative sites where people say we cannot have an comprehensive bill on immigration (i.e., expand the guest worker program and document the immigrant workers) because it is not where ‘the people’ are. That’s a hoot. It is were most of us our except the far right conservatives. Check […]
Al Qaeda’s leader in Iraq Zarqawi must be getting really nervous. Another of his aides (I think that makes three in the last month or so) has been captured, this time in Baghdad:
Iraqi security forces have captured a senior aide of al Qaeda leader in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Baghdad, a Defence Ministry […]
The permanence of temporary government policies can be seen in this post by Mac Ranger where the US has decided the tax used to fund the Spanish American war is finally not needed anymore.
How is it this was not done under the last 6 years of Republican Congressional control? The word ‘leadership’ comes to mind.
This week’s selections for the Watcher’s Council are out and here are the results.
In the council category the winner was Let Us Make Them All Welcome by Gates of Vienna, with second place going to Assessing the Threat At Our Southern Border by The Glittering Eye.
In the non-council category the winner was The Essential […]
Mark Coffey has a post on the despicable actions of Kissenger and Nixon who, apparently, said they could allow communist take over of Vietnam if we could get our troops out. After all those deaths what those people died for was ‘expediency’:
This latest revelation only adds to a body of evidence that begins with the […]
*** Important Update At The End ***
Imperfection has become the reason to abort. I am stridently pro-life. I am not ready to make all abortions illegal, but I think we can all make the case that treatable birth defects (also known as human imperfections) should NEVER be a reason to kill a human […]
