George Bush could end his presidency on a surprising high note: success in Iraq. Of course the Bush haters left and right will do all they can to pillory the man. But the facts could tell a very different story if things keep moving the direction they are going in Diyala Province – the last […]

Another problem we have is we are losing our respect for life. I guess in this culture of trivializing others we have become used to destroying rather than respecting. The House of Representatives came way too close to legislating the harvesting of young human beings for spare parts. The numbers are stunning: The House approved […]

Well, President Bush is now a lame duck because the far right abandoned him and the conservative coalition. And the democrats run the Congress and are issueuing subpoenas. Bush can do no more now than veto legislation and give Iraq more time to turn around. The Dems will go on a spree to smear the […]

The future of the Ames Republican straw poll was cast into doubt Wednesday after first Rudy Giuliani and then John McCain decided to skip the high-profile summer warm-up to […]

Well, it’s official (again): Iran is at war with the US. And Iran is providing arms and IED components to kill our people in Iraq and Afghanistan. NATO officials say they have caught Iran red-handed, shipping heavy arms, C4 explosives and advanced roadside bombs to the Taliban for use against NATO forces, in what the […]

Tancredo, the ‘visionary’ of the immigration hypochondriacs, has declared open political war on those conservatives who support the comprehensive immigration bill now being debated in the US Senate. He will work to defeat politicians who do not bend to his ‘vision’: Rep. Tom Tancredo ratcheted up his presidential bid and anti-illegal immigration crusade today with […]
