One thing that makes me laugh at DC is all their bluster and feigned outrage when some powerful people don’t get their way. They descend to temper tamper, hand pounding, whining so fast it is a sight to see. The all-about-nothing issue of Bush’s signing statements are the same way. Congress has known from day […]

While we debate the fate of immigrants we need to not get wrapped around the exception or the minority. America has Jeffrey Dahmer, but he is the antithesis of America, not a representative example. So too on the immigration front. There are people who have committed much worse crimes than working for a living without […]

The Washington Post publishes a big liberal whine today about how the Israeli response to Hezbollah has been disproportionate. No where in Eugene Robinson’s opinion piece does he face the fact that the response could be ended just like it was started, through a unilateral action by Hezbollah. If Hezbollah wanted the pummeling to end […]

It has been my contention since the NY Times story exposed the NSA Terrorist Surveillance Program last December that the story was filled with inaccuracies and errors. My conclusions where based on deduction and bits of information that did not fit the NY Times reporting (see my category on FISA-NSA for all my posts). My […]

Jay Rockefeller, who was interviewed for the NY Times story which exposed our efforts to identify terrorists here in the US ready to attack us, is probably on the interview list. From the sounds of […]

The Nobel Peace Prize winner showed how peace is truly achieved – with violence. It seems Betty Williams is a bit of a violent person who admits she wants our President dead (H/T Drudge): NOBEL peace laureate Betty Williams displayed a flash of her feisty Irish spirit yesterday, lashing out at US President George W.Bush […]

Arlen Specter is well intentioned when he voices his concerns about abuse of power. There have been examples of abuse of power throughout mankind’s history. The problem Specter has always had to face is that, good intentions aside, national security requires the use of power. And there is no way to provide the President, under […]

As I posted last week, Hezbollah is all alone and will have to fend for itself. The latest indications are in a series of articles and commentary out today that highlight how badly Hezbollah (and possibly Syria and Iran) misjudged the possible responses to kidnapping two Israeli soldiers and the ensuing battle between Hezbollah forces […]

In another lame attempt to blame anyone but the terrorists the Washington Post is running some revisionist history claiming that the insurgency was created by the 4th Infantry being too tough early on in the War in Iraq: Today, the 4th Infantry and its commander, Maj. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, are best remembered for capturing […]
