Christopher Hitchens has produced his usual clarity on a new perspective that is arising from the debate over the Ground Zero Mosque. Hitchens does try to chide those who cannot put their opposition to the mosque in clear words – using the straw man example of someone likeneing the mosque to a japanese cultural center [...]

This election is very important, but you wouldn’t know it by some of the lame comments and ads out. While the Political Class may swoon over this Democrat ad in Colorado’s Governor race, I find it insulting to the voters’ intelligence: A guy who takes showers with his clothes on is not being serious, or [...]

Bombshell Update Below! Powerline has a post out today discussing evidence the stimulus bill did not lessen unemployment, as the Obama administration and Democrat Congressional Leaders claim: Those who tout the bill point to a study by liberal economists Alan Blinder and Mark Zandi purporting to show that the fiscal stimulus enacted under Presidents Bush [...]

The anti-government wave is huge this year – and it is aimed right at the Big Government Party (Democrats). The people who brought you Government Motors (GM), historically massive debt and deficits, painfully high unemployment and socialist medicine are in the cross hairs of America. Charlie Cook has confirmed the House will, barring some major [...]

If you happen to be open minded and not intimidated by Sarah Palin then this latest attempt at humor by the left will leave you shaking your head – in sad amusement at the pathetic nature of the left. I mean really folks, just because you disagree with this mother of 5 does not mean [...]

I hate to put it this way, because it sounds like a bad cliche, but the path to economic recovery is a sound drubbing of the Democrats in November. For two years the Democrats have ignored the will of the people, instead pushing, bribing and bullying their liberal fanatic policies into law. The result was [...]

Update: Hopefully Lucianne will not mind me borrowing this cartoon: -end update Let’s all play along shall we? The Ground Zero Mosque (GZM) is to WTC Ground Zero, as … The “Timothy McVeigh Militia Center” would be to the OKC Memorial (militia’s are not illegal organizations, but …) A Mexican cultural center would be to [...]

The ‘surprise’ news out today that the unemployment picture is heading south again is not really a surprise to anyone who is not deluded by liberal spin. Many of  us knew over a year ago the liberal stimulus bill could never stimulate job growth as structured. We also knew the census and summer jobs bubble [...]

Dick Morris has a great article out (H/T Reader Trent Telenko) noting how the Democrats are in such bad shape they need to decide, now, which congress critters to save because if they tried to save too many they could end up with even larger losses by spreading their money too thin: Take Virginia, for [...]

I have been expecting for days now for President Obama’s drop in Gallup’s approval to slow or stop, but I have been surprised by the fact his free-fall continues.  Today’s Gallup numbers are stunning, with President Obama down -9% (click to zoom): Even more important is the fact this is a poll of Adults! What [...]

Update: Ed Morrissey calls on The Force – end Update Somebody wake me up from this bizarre dream I seem to be having, because Maureen Dowd, Peter Beinart and Eugene Robinson are calling on President George W Bush to come rescue President Obama from the Mosque Madness: There’s a new argument emerging among supporters of [...]

Los Angeles is a huge Democrat strong hold (San Fran may be bluer, but it is tiny in comparison). President Obama’s hubris – his self absorbed tin ear only a minority noticed in the 2008 election cycle – probably cost the Democrat Party the governorship and Boxer’s US Senate seat because of his little stunt [...]

Alternate Title: Mosque Madness The vast Political Industrial Complex (PIC) on the left has gone stark raving mad. The latest sign of madness comes over the self proclaimed Ground Zero Mosque (GZM). The location of the GZM is integral to the developer’s plans, as is the now notorious debate on which is the more American [...]

I have a lot of respect for the courts and law enforcement (much of my family have successful and valiant careers in this area). But there are on occasions the bad apple – or in this case the nimrod. Some confused judge confused the right to protest a government or a corporation with a mythical [...]

Update: According to Powerline this may only be a rumor – too bad. – end update I think there is now a chance to finally heal the wounds of 9/11. The backers of the mosque at Ground Zero heard the cries of anguish from this nation and took a step towards closing those wounds from [...]
