While I focus on the Immigration Hypochondriacs, I should point out some of those on the other side of the debate. Harold Hutchison has a good post out on how American it is to dissent when some want to go off the deep end. And so while the hypochondriacs cry “anti-american” we see the fact […]

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.

One has to wonder at the tunnel vision that exists in the news media. When Alexander Litvinenko died last November within days the Chechen terrorists declared Litvinenko a Muslim and a Martyr to the Islamo Fascist cause. Pretty high claim for a white Russian guy living in London. You think Adam Gadahn, the American al […]

I have reopened comments to anyone who wishes to register and get an account. Your first comment will need to be mediated by me (I do try and check regularly for suspended comments), but after that the only time comments get held up is if they trip my spam filters (keep the numbers of links […]

We all have a new litmus test on the right, amongst conservatives. It is what side you chose on immigration – and it will define who is in and who is out in the GOP. And by defining who is in, it will define whether the GOP can create a governing coalition or become a […]
