Uhinged Left Scares Moderate Left

One word for 2006 elections: Impeachment.  The leftward base cannot live without it, and the centrist left cannot live with it: Now that everyone recognizes what I first said last September – that Democrats have a real chance of taking back control of the U.S. House of Representatives this Fall – it’s time for Democrats […]

If Bin Laden Says So

I wonder how many leftwing nuts will now come out in defense of Moussaoui? How many Hollywood stars will champion his cause, now that Bin Laden has vouched for his innocence? Osama bin Laden has said Zacarias Moussaoui had nothing to do with the September 11 attacks, according to a web site audiotape. Moussaoui was […]

Rep Leaders Off Target, Not Bush

Stop Fooling Around And Make Progress

Two short items on the illegal immigration issue. We need to take concerted action now. Yes my friends on the right, that means compromise.

Congress Above The Law?

Leave it to those egotistical men and women in Congress to remind us why we need three branches of Government. While the President has a lot of power, he is one person. The President cannot force people in government to do something illegal – they will just run to the press or congress and blow […]

Plugging Leaks, Fitzgerald-style

Jack Kelley has a great piece out today at RCP which discusses how this summer it will be the investigation of rogue personnel in the US government who have leaked critical information to our enemies through our press that provides the spectacle and the splash: After all the cheerleading journalists have done for Mr. Fitzgerald, […]
