Bill O’Reilly has become another example of the far right, Immigration Hypochondriacs running into the sewer because they have lost their minds and the argument on the comprehensive immigration bill supported by large majorities since it includes both border protection and a guest worker program. Jerks like O’Reilly cannot tolerate the guest worker program with […]

Two aspects of the breaking news about a terror plot being thwarted at JFK. First is the recognition we need all eyes and ears on the terrorists. Second, legal immigrants again are at the heart of the plot – NOT undocumented workers Four people have been charged. One is in custody in New York. Three […]

Bush has proposed incentives for reducing CO2 emissions. Bush is proposing incentives and rewards, not mandatory levels and fines. Limiting CO2 production is not a bad thing. Pretending it will effect the global environment or the warming or cooling of the Earth is ridiculous. The science is completely mixed with the record actually showing CO2 […]

While the far right is obsessed with halting all progress on immigration until the guest workers get more punishment (which is apparently more important than the actual violent criminals we could deport under the new bill) we cannot let their lack of focus distract us from the real enemy out there.

Our new Sunni allies in Iraq are proving to be a potent force. They clearly have the edge in that they know who the foreigners are fighting for al Qaeda. And they seem to be doing a bang up job of eradicating al Qaeda from Iraq: A senior Al-Qaeda commander in Fallujah was shot dead […]

The split in the conservative movement, brewing since the hardliners insulted and pilloried a moderate, former democrat by the name of Harriet Miers, is gladly at hand.
